867: Chapter 856 Supernatural Power—Fleeting Beauty!

By then, the only path awaiting them would be defeat.

Time was not on their side.

Saintess Qian Xi made a prompt decision; a brilliant silver radiance suddenly flared in the hands of her ninety-seven-zhang-tall Time Golden Body.

A massive, pure silver Time Greatsword materialized out of thin air within its palms.

Over eight thousand Time patterns on the sword's blade lit up simultaneously, emitting an incomparably sharp Time Sword Intent.

Beside her, Saint Son Chen Xun did not dare to be negligent either. With a grip of his Time Golden Body's hand, a Time Greatsword, also engraved with over eight thousand patterns, appeared in its palm.

The two Golden Bodies, wielding their greatswords, erupted into motion simultaneously, attacking Qin Yan's Dark Emperor Golden Body.

Facing their joint onslaught, Qin Yan's expression remained as calm as water.

From the three slowly rotating dark halos behind the Dark Emperor Golden Body, the one on the far left floated silently in front of the Golden Body.

The Golden Body extended its right hand into the halo and then slowly drew it back out.

A jet-black scepter, the Dark Vault Scepter, with a black ring floating at its head, was firmly grasped in its hand.

The Dark Emperor Golden Body, wielding the scepter, pointed it into the air toward the two incoming Time Golden Bodies.

The black ring at the top of the scepter suddenly accelerated its rotation, and dozens of ink-black dark lasers shot out from within the ring like a torrential rain, enveloping the two of them from all directions.

Wherever the dark lasers passed, the Void Realm rippled with layers of fine black waves.

Saintess Qian Xi held her greatsword, and Power of Time surged upon it; the silver radiance condensed, compressed, and sublimated across the blade.

She then slashed out, and a Time Sword Qi spanning several dozen zhang surged forth!

The Sword Qi, like a massive silver wave carrying the pressure of Power of Time, surged to meet the dark lasers.

Just as the dark lasers were about to collide with the Time Sword Qi, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The originally high-speed dark lasers suddenly slowed down drastically upon entering a hundred-zhang radius of the Sword Qi, as if they had fallen into some kind of viscous silver swamp.

Wherever the Time Sword Qi passed, the flow of time was forcibly slowed by several times; no matter how fast the dark lasers were, under the influence of the Time rules, they could only inch forward like slow-motion footage.

"Boom, boom, boom—" The dark lasers and the Time Sword Qi finally collided in mid-air.

The two vastly different forces of Darkness and Time intertwined madly before ultimately annihilating each other.

Although Power of Time possessed its own unique mysteries, Qin Yan's Darkness Power was also one of the seven supreme rules.

Even when weakened by the rules of time, its tyrannical destructive power was still sufficient to completely destroy the opponent's Sword Qi.

Seeing this, Saint Son Chen Xun erupted with light; the silver radiance poured out from his Golden Body like a breached flood.

He then let out a low shout: "Divine Ability — Momentary Radiance!"

The moment his voice fell, the flow of time around Saint Son Chen Xun suddenly accelerated wildly.

Momentary Radiance, a unique secret Divine Ability of the Temple of Time, allowed the user to forcibly accelerate the flow of time around themselves upon activation.

With Saint Son Chen Xun's current Peak Seventh-Grade cultivation, he could boost the time flow around him to twenty times the normal rate when using it at full power.

Within the space Saint Son Chen Xun occupied, the over eight thousand silver patterns on the Time Greatsword in his hand shone layer upon layer, like ignited stars.

"Spirit Weapon Skill — Thousand Swords Converge into One!"

Saint Son Chen Xun shouted, and the greatsword shook violently; thousands of incomparably sharp silver Sword Qi suddenly appeared around the blade.

Each one was several zhang long, pure silver, and exuded a sharp aura.

They swirled and danced in the Void Realm like a flock of silver birds.

Saint Son Chen Xun brandished the greatsword, and the thousands of Sword Qi began to converge at an extremely slow speed.

It took a full half-quarter of an hour for the thousands of Sword Qi to finally condense into one massive silver Sword Qi!

That Sword Qi was hundreds of zhang long, pure silver, with intricate patterns flowing across its blade, appearing as a solid entity condensed from Power of Time, exuding a heart-palpitating pressure.

In a real battle, half a quarter of an hour was undoubtedly a long time; it was impossible for an enemy to give him a full half-quarter of an hour to execute this move.

However, under the twenty-fold time acceleration of his Momentary Radiance Domain, only twenty-two point five seconds had passed in the outside world!

This allowed a move that originally required a long time to prepare to be completed in a very short time.

Although twenty-two point five seconds could be considered quite long in a battle between experts.

Beside him was Saintess Qian Xi, the Saintess of the Temple of Time, who blocked Qin Yan's attacks for him, acting like a solid shield between him and the enemy.

Saint Son Chen Xun swept his greatsword out horizontally!

The greatsword, which had condensed thousands of Sword Qi, slashed toward Qin Yan with destructive force.

A silver Sword Qi, several hundred zhang wide, swept across the sky!

The Sword Qi was like a massive silver wave, sweeping through everything; wherever it passed, the space tore open into black fissures.

Black cracks spread through the silver sea, dense like a spiderweb, as if even this region could not withstand the power of this sword strike.

Although this attack took a long time to prepare, once condensed, its power was extremely formidable.

There were definitely not many Prodigies in the Grandmaster Realm who could withstand this strike head-on.

The Sword Qi surged wildly, and the Darkness Power Qin Yan had permeated throughout the Void Realm was scattered by the crushing force of the Sword Qi, failing to provide even a moment of resistance.

Watching the incoming attack, Qin Yan's expression remained unchanged!

Light flashed on the left hand of the Dark Emperor Golden Body, and the moyuan spirit weapon immediately appeared in its hand—the pitch-black long spear looked exceptionally small in the grip of the Dark Emperor Golden Body, like a thin stick held in an adult's hand.

After this period of continuous, day-and-night devouring and refining, the patterns on the moyuan spirit weapon had quietly climbed from the initial three hundred or so to over eight hundred.

This speed was actually not fast; after all, the moyuan spirit weapon was still just a hundred-pattern spirit weapon with three hundred patterns, while the two natal spirit weapons he had seized from the Yuan Palace Disciples were both thousand-pattern spirit weapons with five or six thousand patterns. For a hundred-pattern spirit weapon to devour thousand-pattern spirit weapons far superior in grade was essentially an ant trying to eat an elephant; it couldn't be fast even if it wanted to.

But Qin Yan could clearly feel that as the patterns on the moyuan spirit weapon increased, its speed in devouring the two spirit weapons was gradually accelerating.

"I wonder how many thousand patterns the moyuan spirit weapon will reach after it finishes devouring those two spirit weapons." Qin Yan anticipated inwardly.

He also looked forward to the Spirit Weapon Skill born from a thousand-pattern spirit weapon and the enhancement of the spirit weapon's effects.

Saint Son Chen Xun was slightly stunned after seeing Qin Yan take out a hundred-pattern spirit weapon—he did not understand what Qin Yan was doing.

Was he counting on this hundred-pattern spirit weapon to block his Divine Ability combined with a Spirit Weapon Skill unleashed from what was about to become a ten-thousand-pattern spirit weapon?

Was he joking?
