868: Chapter 857 The River of Time!!

And the fact was, Saint Son Chen Xun's guess was completely correct.

On the moyuan spirit weapon in Qin Yan's hand, the Five Elements radiance intertwined: golden sharpness, emerald vitality, deep blue pliability, crimson scorching heat, and earthy yellow heaviness—all five lights lit up simultaneously, weaving and entwining around the long spear.

Immediately, a giant bell phantom interwoven with five colors condensed around Qin Yan—the giant bell flowed with five colors throughout its body, as if it were a physical entity formed by the condensation of the Five Elements, emitting an ancient and heavy aura.

On the body of the bell, the five-colored radiance resembled five swimming Dragons, circling and wandering across the bell, while the runes on its surface appeared and disappeared, emitting a mysterious light.

The Five Elements Xuanhuang Bell was deployed!

"Boom—!" With a loud noise, the silver Sword Qi crashed into the giant bell.

The silver light and the five-colored light violently intertwined, causing the seawater to churn and surge as if it were boiling.

Silver waves spread in all directions, churning everything around them incessantly.

Light splattered everywhere, and waves of Qi surged.

After the light dissipated, the silver Sword Qi had already vanished with a roar, turning into dots of silver light that slowly drifted away in the silver seawater.

Meanwhile, the five-colored giant bell phantom around Qin Yan remained intact and floated quietly, its Five Elements radiance flowing slowly like water, only to quietly dissipate into the Void Realm after a moment, as if it had completed its mission.

Saint Son Chen Xun's strongest strike—executed with all his might, driven by a Divine Ability, and unleashed with a spirit weapon of nearly ten thousand patterns—had been casually blocked by Qin Yan with a mere spirit weapon of over eight hundred patterns.

Saint Son Chen Xun watched as the intact five-colored giant bell phantom remained unmoved under the impact of his silver Sword Qi, and a look of dullness couldn't help but appear on his handsome face.

"How can this spirit weapon be so terrifying?"

Beside him, Saintess Qian Xi's beautiful brows also knitted tightly.

She knew the power of Saint Son Chen Xun's move, "Thousand Swords Condensed into One"; even if she were to block it herself, it would be absolutely impossible to escape unscathed.

Yet the opponent had so casually dissolved that Sword Qi, which was enough to kill an ordinary Great Grandmaster, into nothingness.

This level of defensive effect had already exceeded her normal understanding of Spirit Weapon Skills.

Her gaze fell on Qin Yan, and she noticed that after blocking Saint Son Chen Xun's sword strike, he had already put away the long spear spirit weapon.

A judgment immediately formed in her mind—the opponent's spirit weapon was merely a spirit weapon of one hundred patterns; to unleash such a Heaven-Defying defensive effect must require some extremely harsh restrictive conditions.

Either the cooldown time was extremely long, or it consumed a huge amount of energy; in any case, it was absolutely impossible to use it a second time in a short period.

"Saint Son Chen Xun, let's attack together."

Saintess Qian Xi looked up at the Void Realm, only to see that the Time Domain they had jointly set up was currently retreating steadily under the combined suppression of the opponent's three Domains.

The silver light was being continuously eroded and devoured by three colors: black, white, and dark.

They had to hurry; once the Domain was completely broken, this battle would have no more suspense.

What the two of them did not know was that Qin Yan actually still had a fourth Supreme-level Great Destruction Domain that he had not yet utilized.

The reason Qin Yan did not reveal all his trump cards at once was mainly because he wanted to use these two Saints and Saintesses from the Temple of Time to test exactly what level his current strength had reached.

If all four Domains were unleashed together, the opponent's Domain would be instantly crushed, and then where would he find such a good touchstone?

Saintess Qian Xi and Saint Son Chen Xun looked at each other, and the Power of Time around them both surged to the extreme.

Behind the two Time Golden Bodies, two surging long rivers, purely silver-white in their entirety, slowly emerged from the Void Realm.

Those two long rivers, both in color and texture, were identical to the seawater of this Sea of Time, almost like two miniature versions of the Sea of Time.

This was their Spirit Beast Phantom—the River of Time, condensed from the purest Power of Time.

The two Rivers of Time resonated and merged with the boundless silver seawater around them.

Under the home-field advantage of the Sea of Time, the speed at which the two rivers flowed suddenly increased significantly, and the might they emitted was far more formidable than when summoned in the outside world.

"It seems I've suffered a loss this time for not having the home-field advantage."

Qin Yan looked at the two Rivers of Time, which were like fish in water in the Sea of Time, and couldn't help but chuckle.

However, he did not take this slight disadvantage to heart.

Through the brief but intense exchanges just now, he had already gained a roughly clear assessment of Saintess Qian Xi and Saint Son Chen Xun's strength.

Then he reached a conclusion: he was now terrifyingly strong.

Qin Yan restrained his smile, and the Darkness Power around him surged crazily like a boiling ink sea, and behind him, the Dark Altar slowly emerged from the Void Realm.

The altar was hexagonal, and its six columnar faces were densely inscribed with countless obscure and difficult-to-understand dark runes.

The pitch-black flame at the top burned fiercely, and with every flicker, a large amount of Darkness Power spread to the surroundings.

"King against King, general against general—just right."

In the Void Realm, the Darkness Power around the Dark Altar erupted, and black light surged from the altar like a tide, colliding with the two Rivers of Time.

The strength of the Dark Altar depended entirely on the intensity of Qin Yan's Mental Energy.

And now, with the reinforcement of the Dark Emperor Golden Body, Qin Yan's Mental Energy had already approached six hundred Hz!

And the strength of the Dark Altar had also reached a level approaching six hundred Hz, but it had not yet broken through to 600 Hz.

There was no help for it; five hundred and ninety-nine Hz to six hundred Hz was a major threshold that was very difficult to break through.

The closer one got to the major barrier, the greater the difficulty of breaking through, and every step of progress required more accumulation and realization.

In the Void Realm, the Darkness Power around the Dark Altar erupted with a roar, and the dark runes on the six columnar faces lit up with a dim, dark light simultaneously.

Countless pitch-black dark chains poured out from the altar like dancing giant pythons.

The chains were entwined with dense dark runes, and with every flicker of the runes, a strange and overbearing corrosive power spread to the surroundings.

Meanwhile, the black flame at the top of the altar also flickered violently, and with every flicker, dozens of Dark Gas Masses, condensed to the extreme, separated from the flame and bombarded the two Rivers of Time like cannonballs.

The two Rivers of Time were not to be outdone either; the silver river water churned and roared, and every wave crash stirred up monstrous silver giant waves.

Every spray of the waves contained terrifying power.

The incoming dark chains experienced a sudden, sharp drop in speed after rushing within a hundred zhang of the Rivers of Time.

Under the influence of the Power of Time, they were like being trapped in an invisible silver quagmire, and the attack, which was originally as swift as lightning, became like slow motion, inching forward with great difficulty.
