Binding [1]

A soundless clash in a timeless world.

This was the result of the two sword techniques meeting for the first time.

Long Chen's formless Void Sword emanated profound intent, making even Xue Feng feel like there was a sword pressed against his neck. As for Xue Feng's Limitless Blade, it was equally formless, splitting the world in two without a sound.

The grey world crumbled upon impact, sliced into thousands of pieces. Even though it was an ethereal construct, those swords still managed to cut it.

Time began moving again. The frozen and colorless bodies of the remaining individuals in the room gained life once more, however they stood still as if they were still in stasis.

The clash that took place while they were in stasis took place inside something similar to an Ethereal Dimension. Even though it mirrored the physical plane, it wasn't actually located there.
