869: Chapter 858 The Hand of the Dark Abyss Displays its Power Once Again!!

The two rivers of Power of Time were not merely defending; as the river water surged, silver arrows of Power of Time shot out from the surface, pouring toward the Dark Altar like a torrential rain.

However, the Dark Altar was, after all, condensed based on Qin Yan's current Mental Energy, which was nearing 600 Hz, and its strength had reached a terrifying level.

Those arrows of Power of Time struck the surface of the altar, stirring up only insignificant ripples of Darkness Power before being absorbed and neutralized by the ancient runes on the altar.

The three phantoms collided frantically in the Void Realm above the three people's heads. Darkness Power and Power of Time intertwined intensely, and the resulting energy shockwaves turned the surrounding thousands of zhang of silver sea upside down.

Below, Qin Yan's gaze fell calmly upon Saintess Qian Xi and Saint Son Chen Xun, his tone remaining as composed and indifferent as ever: "You have already made your move; now it is time for you to try receiving a strike from me."

As his voice fell, the Dark Firmament Scepter in his hand shook violently, and the black halo at the head of the staff suddenly began to rotate at high speed.

"Spirit Weapon Skill — Hand of the Dark Abyss!"

Qin Yan gave a low shout. Violent fluctuations of Darkness Power surged within the halo at the top of the scepter, and immediately, an incredibly thick, pitch-black tentacle slowly extended from within the halo.

The front part of the tentacle was a giant palm as black as ink, with five distinct fingers, and an ancient, slowly rotating rune of Darkness Power engraved in the center of the palm; the rear part was a long, powerful black limb resembling a giant arm.

The entire tentacle writhed slowly in the Void Realm, exuding an ancient and terrifying aura of Darkness Power as if from the abyss.

The moment the tentacle appeared, a suffocatingly massive pressure of Darkness Power swept across the entire area like an invisible tsunami, forcing the surrounding silver seawater to surge outward.

The pitch-black tentacle's five fingers suddenly opened, and a rune of Darkness Power in the palm of its hand flared brilliantly.

Immediately following, the second, third, fourth, and fifth—all five runes of Darkness Power shone simultaneously, and five beams of Darkness Power, condensed to the extreme, slowly formed in the palm.

Although those five beams had not yet been fired, the Void Realm where they were located had already been fractured by that terrifying energy fluctuation, creating dense, black spatial rifts.

This time, Qin Yan did not hold back or test the waters; he unleashed the strongest offensive of the Hand of the Dark Abyss that could be released at the seventh-grade Realm right from the start.

Saintess Qian Xi and Saint Son Chen Xun looked up simultaneously at the five beams of Darkness Power slowly rotating in the palm of the giant tentacle in the Void Realm, their expressions turning unprecedentedly grave at almost the same instant. Saint Son Chen Xun felt it most deeply; his Mental Energy perception swept over those five beams, and he reached a conclusion that made his scalp tingle.

The power of any single one of these five beams was only a tiny fraction weaker than the Sword Qi of the Thousand Swords Condensed into One that he had previously unleashed with all his might!

One must know that that sword strike was his ultimate technique.

It required the time acceleration of the Moment of Brilliance Divine Ability as a prerequisite, it required Saintess Qian Xi to buy him precious preparation time, and it required him to compress and perform Fusion on over a thousand sword auras layer by layer, only then could he barely condense one.

Yet the opponent had simply raised his scepter nonchalantly and unleashed five attacks of nearly equivalent power in an instant.

"Hum hum hum hum hum—!"

In the Void Realm, the five beams of Darkness Power shot out simultaneously from the palm of the tentacle, carrying a terrifying, world-destroying momentum as they shot straight toward Saintess Qian Xi and Saint Son Chen Xun.

Saintess Qian Xi's expression was as grave as water; facing such an attack, she had to go all out!

Immediately, the Power of Time around Saintess Qian Xi surged frantically like a breached flood.

The giant sword of Power of Time in her hand flew out of her grasp, circling above the two people's heads, and over eight thousand silver patterns on the sword body lit up with dazzling brilliance simultaneously.

"Spirit Weapon Skill — Time Protection!"

Saintess Qian Xi gave a delicate shout, and the giant sword of Power of Time rotated rapidly above their heads.

With every rotation, large swathes of silver Sword Intent spilled from the sword body, pouring down like silver waterfalls, interweaving layer upon layer around the two of them into an impenetrable curtain of time swords.

On the sword curtain, countless fine runes of Power of Time twinkled like stars, and with every flicker, the flow of time within the area covered by the sword curtain was quietly distorted.

Any attack would have its speed significantly slowed by Power of Time when penetrating this sword curtain.

This was not all; the silver light around Saintess Qian Xi shone once more.

Her slender, fair palms formed seals rapidly in front of her chest, and a complex and profound silver Spirit Seal quickly condensed in her palms.

"Barrier of Time!"

Saintess Qian Xi pushed the silver Spirit Seal forward. The Spirit Seal expanded rapidly in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a semi-transparent silver barrier over a hundred zhang high in front of the two.

The barrier was condensed entirely from the purest Power of Time, and countless silver ripples of Power of Time flowed across the surface of the barrier, like layers of ripples spreading on the surface of water.

Beside her, Saint Son Chen Xun likewise dared not hold back in the slightest, and silver light erupted suddenly from his Time Golden Body.

He violently struck out with the giant sword of Power of Time in his hand toward the front.

Immediately, Saint Son Chen Xun's hands formed seals rapidly, and silver hand seals flew from his fingertips like meteors, all merging into the giant sword.

Under the urging of the hand seals, the giant sword of Power of Time grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, it surged from tens of zhang to hundreds of zhang in size, standing horizontally at the very front before the two like a massive silver shield.

Silver light flowed ceaselessly on the body of the giant sword, exuding a thick and unshakeable defensive aura.

After the two had finished setting up all their layers of defensive measures, the five beams of Darkness Power had already crossed the obstruction of the Void Realm and arrived fiercely.

After entering the Power of Time defensive zone set up by the two, the speed of the beams of Darkness Power was indeed significantly affected.

Under the dual effect of the Barrier of Time and the sword curtain of Power of Time, the speed of the five beams was forcibly slowed for an instant, and the originally lightning-fast offensive experienced a brief stagnation.

However, these five beams of Darkness Power were simply too overbearing; Darkness Power was indeed worthy of being one of the seven supreme rules.

Even Power of Time could only temporarily delay them and could not fundamentally neutralize them.

The beams of Darkness Power quickly pierced through the layers of obstruction of Power of Time with an irresistible force, recovering their original speed.

Then, they crashed fiercely into the hundreds-of-zhang-long giant silver sword that stood horizontally before the two.
