118: The Law of Time Shows Its Power

A deadly formation, surrounded by powerful enemies, betrayed by allies!

The Rotten Leaf Bone Forest instantly transformed into a true Blood Purgatory!

The light barrier of the Blood Purgatory Rakshasa Formation was like an inverted bowl, completely sealing off the entire area, isolating inside from outside. Inside the formation, the terrifying pressure formed by the intertwining of Asura Demonic Qi and immortal restrictions pressed down on everyone like a mountain, not only hindering movement but also making the circulation of immortal power sluggish!

Old Dog Xuan Gu, Blood Butcher Prince, and Soul-Devouring Demon Monarch, three Immortal Monarch level experts, formed a triangular encirclement around Lin Xuan and his disciples, radiating killing intent. On the periphery, a large number of Asura Clan elites and Xuan Gu's trusted subordinates watched covetously. Outside the light barrier, General Chi Hai led his ghost army, observing with cold eyes, cutting off all escape routes.

"Master!" Yun Qingyao and the others protected Lin Yingluo, forming a battle formation back-to-back, their faces extremely grim. This situation was even more perilous than the last time they were besieged from all sides! This time, there was an additional grand formation specifically prepared for them!

"Lin Xuan! Kneel and beg for mercy, hand over that little monster and the demonic axe, and perhaps this Prince can consider leaving you a whole corpse!" Blood Butcher Prince roared with laughter, brandishing his giant axe. Old Dog Xuan Gu added sinisterly, "And your disciples, especially that girl with the ice spirit root and that boy who can purify, all of them must have their souls extracted and refined to appease the hatred in my heart!" Soul-Devouring Demon Monarch merely let out greedy hisses, locking onto Lin Xuan and the disciples behind him, as if choosing the most delicious prey.

Facing such a desperate situation, Lin Xuan's expression remained unusually calm. He even slowly closed his eyes, as if sensing something.

"Playing tricks! Attack!" Old Dog Xuan Gu roared, launching the first attack! A white bone banner appeared in his hand, and as he shook it, thousands of wailing vengeful souls surged out, heading straight for Lin Xuan's soul! At the same time, two Immortal Monarch level confidants beside him also attacked, their immortal arts shining brightly!

Blood Butcher Prince let out a roar, transforming into a blood shadow, his giant axe carrying the power to tear apart heaven and earth, slashing at Lin Xuan's waist! Wherever he passed, space was twisted by that violent blood-sha power!

Soul-Devouring Demon Monarch silently merged into the shadows. The next moment, countless transparent, wailing soul hands reached out from the void around Lin Xuan, grabbing at his limbs and bones, intending to directly devour his soul!

The three great Immortal Monarchs, cooperating perfectly, their attacks arrived almost simultaneously, sealing off all of Lin Xuan's dodging space! Their intention was to instantly crush him, the strongest combatant, with overwhelming force!

"Master!" The disciples exclaimed, wanting to rush forward to assist, but were firmly entangled by the pressure of the grand formation and the other enemies!

Just at this critical moment!

Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes!

The vertical eye in his brow—the dark vortex that merged the Law-Breaking Chaos Eyes and the origin of the demonic path—suddenly stopped rotating!

In its place was an incredibly profound, strange luster that seemed to contain the birth and death of the universe and the flow of time!

Time Law—Instant Eternity!

There was no earth-shattering energy explosion, no spatial-tearing law manifestation.

There was only a silent, yet instantly enveloping the entire battlefield—stagnation!

Centered on Lin Xuan, within a hundred-zhang radius, everything seemed to have been paused!

Old Dog Xuan Gu's shaking white bone banner was frozen in mid-air, the thousands of surging vengeful souls maintained their fangs-bared, claw-waving menacing postures, yet could not advance an inch! Blood Butcher Prince's blood shadow solidified in the air, the giant axe he swung was less than a foot from Lin Xuan's waist, and the violent blood-sha power was like solidified red amber! Soul-Devouring Demon Monarch's countless extending soul hands were eerily frozen in the void, only a hair's breadth from Lin Xuan's body! Even the dust flying in the air, the splashing blood droplets, the flowing energy light... all came to a standstill!

The entire world seemed to have become an incredibly detailed, yet utterly silent oil painting!

Only Lin Xuan could still move!

This was the Time Law he had initially mastered—Instant Eternity! It was not true time-stop, but rather, in an extremely short instant, accelerating his own time flow to the extreme, or rather, infinitely slowing down the time flow in a small surrounding area, forming a relative "time-stop"!

However, this power placed an enormous burden on the caster, and the consumption of soul and immortal power was astronomical! With Lin Xuan's current cultivation at the late Immortal Monarch stage, even with all his might, he could only maintain this "instant"!

Yet, for a duel between experts, an instant was already enough!

Lin Xuan's face instantly turned ashen, and a trace of golden blood even seeped from his vertical eye, but his gaze was as cold as iron, without the slightest hesitation!

"Die!"

The bronze battle axe in his hand erupted with monstrous demonic light. He ignored Blood Butcher and Soul-Devouring Demon Monarch, who were within reach, and instead, his body moved as if teleporting, appearing first in front of Old Dog Xuan Gu!

Capture the leader first! Old Dog Xuan Gu was the most insidious and cunning, he had to be eliminated first!

"Pfft!"

The bronze battle axe, with its sharpness that could tear apart eternity, effortlessly cleaved into Old Dog Xuan Gu's head, which was frozen by the Time Law and utterly incapable of any defense!

The effect of time stagnation ended at this moment!

"Uh..." Old Dog Xuan Gu's sinister smile and malevolence had not yet had time to change, when they were instantly replaced by boundless terror and disbelief! He only felt a chill in his brow, and then boundless darkness and intense pain instantly swallowed his consciousness!

Bang!

His head, along with the immortal soul within it, was directly shattered into dust by the terrifying power contained in the bronze battle axe! His headless corpse swayed and fell downwards!

An Immortal Monarch, thus perished! Dying in utter humiliation!

"What?!" The moment time resumed its flow, Blood Butcher Prince and Soul-Devouring Demon Monarch's attacks barely landed, but they were horrified to find their target gone! Then they saw the terrifying sight of Old Dog Xuan Gu's head being cleaved open by an axe!

Both of them were scared out of their wits, nearly scattering their souls!

What happened?! What exactly happened in that instant?! How did Xuan Gu die?!

Not just them, everyone who witnessed this scene, whether enemy or Star Palace disciple, was dumbfounded! Their minds were completely unable to comprehend what had just transpired!

Only Su Yuan, with runes wildly flickering in his eyes, caught the extremely brief, almost illusory temporal distortion, "Is it the Time Law?!"

Lin Xuan struck successfully, without stopping! Although his soul was in immense pain and his immortal power was greatly depleted, he endured the discomfort, and taking advantage of Blood Butcher and Soul-Devouring Demon Monarch's shock and distraction, his figure flickered again!

"Reincarnation Devouring Soul!" Soul-Devouring Demon Monarch was the first to react, letting out a sharp shriek. Countless soul hands wrapped around Lin Xuan like venomous snakes, while his main body retreated rapidly! He felt a fatal threat!

"Blood Sea Surging!" Blood Butcher Prince also reacted, filled with shock and anger. His giant axe wildly swung, protecting his body, and at the same time, he activated the grand formation, sending countless blood-sha lightning bolts towards Lin Xuan!

"Hmph! Too late!" Lin Xuan snorted coldly, and the vertical eye in his brow once again flashed with that profound luster!

Instant Eternity!

Although he could no longer cover a hundred-zhang radius as he did the first time, he could still greatly slow down the time flow in a small area!

Buzz!

The time flow around Soul-Devouring Demon Monarch suddenly slowed down! Its retreating movements and swinging soul hands all became slow motion!

Yet Lin Xuan's speed was completely unaffected!

"Nirvana!"

Upon the bronze battle axe, not only was there the physical power to cleave heaven and earth, but also the essence of Leng Yuechan's Nirvana Sword Intent! One axe strike, and a grayish axe light swept across!

Pfft!

Soul-Devouring Demon Monarch's body, composed of a soul entity, melted away by more than half in an instant, like ice and snow touched by a red-hot branding iron! It let out an extremely shrill scream, and its remaining half-body retreated frantically, its aura instantly weakening, its eyes filled with boundless fear!

After forcefully activating the Time Law twice in a row, Lin Xuan also reached his limit, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura plummeting rapidly, his face as pale as golden paper, his body swaying precariously.

"He's done for! Kill him quickly!" Blood Butcher Prince was both shocked and delighted, desperately activating the grand formation, launching his strongest attack! Countless blood-colored chains and lightning bolts rained down on Lin Xuan!

"Protect Master!" Yun Qingyao shrieked, rushing forward recklessly, her Ice Soul Divine Light Sword erupting with full power, freezing large sections of chains! Leng Yuechan, Ye Chen, Mo Sha, Kong Ming, and others also desperately pushed back their opponents, rushing towards Lin Xuan's location! Jin Bao and A Zi frantically spewed dragon's breath and lightning, blocking attacks! Qing Xuan's light of purification desperately swept towards Lin Xuan, trying to heal his injuries!

However, the formation's attacks were too dense and powerful!

Just as Lin Xuan was about to be overwhelmed—

"Don't hit my daddy!"

Lin Yingluo, who had been well-protected, saw Lin Xuan spit blood, and her little face instantly turned crimson with anger!

She suddenly broke free from Yun Qingyao's hand, and from her tiny body, that vast and boundless Immortal Emperor level power once again burst forth uncontrollably!

No skill, no moves!

Just the purest, most brutal outpouring of power!

She swung her small fist fiercely at the blood-colored chains and lightning raining down from the sky, and at Blood Butcher Prince who was rushing over!

"Boom—!!!"

An indescribably terrifying roar!

It was as if the entire Blood Sea Domain was shaken by this punch!

The Blood Purgatory Rakshasa Formation, set up by several Immortal Monarchs, its sturdy light barrier, was torn open with a huge gap by the invisible torrent of power, compressed to the extreme in front of that small fist, as if it were made of paper!

All the blood-colored chains and lightning bolts aimed at Lin Xuan instantly annihilated before this power!

Blood Butcher Prince, who was rushing at the forefront, was like being directly hit by a high-speed star!

His blood-sha armor, protective immortal light, and even that giant axe, shattered inch by inch in an instant! He spewed blood wildly, flying backward like a broken kite, crashing heavily onto a distant bone mountain, his fate unknown!

The power of one punch, terrifying indeed!

The entire battlefield once again fell into a deathly silence.

All the surviving Asura Clan and Xuan Gu's subordinates were scared stiff, their hands and feet cold, without even the courage to flee.

General Chi Hai and the ghost army outside the light barrier were even more terrified, their soul bodies trembling, almost collapsing on the spot!

After throwing this punch, Lin Yingluo also seemed a bit exhausted, her little face paled, and she swayed. Yun Qingyao, who rushed over, quickly embraced her.

Lin Xuan propped up his body, looking at the gap in the formation made by his daughter's punch, and then at the heavily wounded enemies, and those terrified individuals.

He knew it was time to fight back!

He took a deep breath, suppressing his injuries, his voice hoarse but filled with supreme majesty, resounding across the battlefield:

"Follow me..." "Kill..."
