855: Chapter 844 The Time Monster!!
He couldn't make heads or tails of it, so he simply picked a direction and headed forward.
These chosen prides of heaven had actually come to the Sea of Time with a mindset of just giving it a try—the Sea of Time was the Foundation of the Temple of Time, containing many Opportunities left behind from various Space-Time Eras.
However, the Sea of Time was simply too vast, and those Opportunities were hidden extremely deep.
Even after countless generations of Martial Artists had explored it one after another, every time the Sea of Time opened, there would still be some lucky individuals who obtained their own fortunes from this silver ocean.
Those high-cultivation Elders and Divine Envoys headed into the depths of the Sea of Time to enter closed-door cultivation and achieve a Breakthrough amid the dense time rules.
Meanwhile, these young Martial Artists were trying their luck in the relatively safe shallow waters. Finding an Opportunity would naturally be a wonderful thing, but even if they couldn't find one, the trip wouldn't be in vain—even if they just Cultivated in the Sea of Time, protected by the time token at their waists, they wouldn't have to worry about their bodies being eroded by the power of time. They could accumulate cultivation without any worries under a time flow rate of about ten times faster.
Qin Yan swam through the Sea of Time like a fish swimming in a silver river.
The seawater wrapped gently around his body, and the power of time flowed slowly around him.
After traveling for an unknown amount of time, a silver light suddenly lit up in front of Qin Yan.
Immediately after, a silver monster appeared before Qin Yan—its entire body was silver-white, as if condensed from a pool of liquid moonlight.
It was about ten feet tall, resembling a human figure magnified several times.
It had no facial features, only two silver eyes that shone in the darkness like two silver gemstones.
Silver light flowed endlessly all over its body, like countless tiny bands of light slowly wandering across its skin.
Its entire body exuded an aura of the Early Stage Grandmaster realm—descending upon Qin Yan like an invisible pressure.
"It seems my luck is quite good to encounter a Time Spirit so quickly."
A glint of interest flashed in Qin Yan's eyes.
A Time Spirit was a type of Essence Spirit condensed from the dense power of time within the Sea of Time.
They possessed the power of time and were creatures unique to the Sea of Time, as well as opponents that Martial Artists often encountered when searching for Opportunities.
"Roar—!" The Time Spirit let out a low growl, and silver light surged all over its body, dancing across its surface like an ignited flame.
Its speed was incredibly fast, like a bolt of silver lightning, appearing in front of Qin Yan in an instant.
On its fist, a silver glow burst forth, enveloping Qin Yan like a blooming flower.
The moment Qin Yan was enveloped by the silver glow, he felt the power of time around him grow somewhat viscous.
His movement of raising his hand slowed down, his blinking slowed down, and everything about him slowed down.
As if in slow motion, every movement was stretched several times over.
"Is this the power of time? Indeed, it's quite interesting," Qin Yan commented with interest.
Wanting to understand the power of time through a fight, he pulled back his raised fist and allowed the Time Spirit's attack to land on him.
"Buzz—!" The Time Spirit punched straight at Qin Yan, and silver light exploded at the point of contact like a blooming silver flower.
Then, the Time Spirit froze slightly—because this punch of its had not caused any damage to the man before it.
Its full-strength strike felt like hitting a bronze wall or an iron wall.
Refusing to believe it, the Time Spirit punched Qin Yan again and again—dense as raindrops, rapid as drumbeats.
Silver light exploded on Qin Yan's body, as brilliant as fireworks, yet as weak as bubbles.
Qin Yan let the opponent's attacks land on him while silently sensing the changes in the power of time.
"Buzz—!"
"Buzz—!"
"Buzz—!"
Instantly, a buzzing sound echoed in this space, which was the sound of the Time Spirit scratching an itch for Qin Yan.
The Time Spirit's attacks posed no threat to Qin Yan whatsoever.
"Its power of time slowed my speed by about 0.2 times, while its own speed under time acceleration increased by about 0.5 times. The boost is quite limited, which is just the basic entry-level of the power of time. I reckon any seventh-grade Disciple of the Temple of Time could easily achieve this."
Qin Yan quickly and accurately estimated the time rule attainment of the Time Spirit before him.
Having achieved his experimental purpose, he no longer had the patience to play with this Essence Spirit.
"You are of no use anymore." Qin Yan raised his right hand and casually slapped it out. On his palm, the black and white Yin and Yang Qi flowed and intertwined, wrapping around the edge of his palm like the Yin-Yang fish in a Taiji diagram.
"Boom—!"
The Time Spirit was instantly slapped into fragments of time energy by Qin Yan, and silver light splattered in all directions, turning into a sky full of silver specks of light.
Those fragments of time energy in the air slowly condensed, gathering and fusing toward the center.
In the blink of an eye, a white crystal condensed into shape in the Void Realm.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Qin Yan swept that time crystal into his pocket.
Killing a Time Spirit was one way to obtain a time crystal.
For the next several days, Qin Yan wandered aimlessly through the shallow areas of the Sea of Time.
During this period, he encountered three more Time Spirits one after another—one Late Stage Grandmaster and two Middle Stage Grandmasters.
The three Essence Spirits were easily insta-killed by him without any suspense; not a single one could last a single move under his hand.
These three Essence Spirits contributed a total of ten time crystals to him, which was a nice extra income.
And Qin Yan also discovered that the stronger the Time Spirit was, the more powerful its control over the power of time became!
For instance, the Late Stage Grandmaster Time Spirit he killed was able to slow down the flow of time around him by nearly twofold!
However, the opponent still couldn't break his defense—his accumulated vitality had already reached twenty-eight million cal, and combined with his Major Achievement Indestructible Blood Demon Body and Yin-Yang Dao Body, it was like wearing two layers of armor, making him completely invulnerable.
It was impossible for an ordinary Late Stage Grandmaster Essence Spirit to cause him any damage.
"This Opportunity is indeed quite hard to find."
Looking around at the still endless silver seawater, Qin Yan couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
He had been in this Sea of Time for a full seven days, and other than the four Time Spirits he occasionally ran into, he hadn't encountered anything special. This harvest was indeed a bit pitiful compared to his expectations before setting out.
Qin Yan collected his thoughts and continued to fly forward.
Suddenly, his Mental Energy keenly captured a few faint fluctuations of life aura coming from extremely far ahead.
