884: Chapter 873 The Eighth-Rank Time Spirits are Annihilated!

"The combat will of these Time Spirit is too weak. They were shattered without even putting up much of a fight."

Qin Yan shook his head in disdain.

Although this Time Spirit possessed the cultivation Realm of an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster, its combat will and experience were not even as good as an ordinary Sixth-Rank Vicious Beast from the outside world.

Qin Yan raised his head and sent a telepathic message to his Shadow Clone, urging it to finish the battle as quickly as possible.

Upon hearing this, the Shadow Clone waved its countless thick branches in unison. Darkness Power surged and condensed on the branches like a tidal wave, transforming into two giant black phoenix shadows in the blink of an eye.

The two black phoenix shadows let out a clear, sharp cry toward the sky.

Spreading their wings, they dove toward the two five-hundred-zhang-tall Time Spirit like two black suns.

"Boom—Boom—"

The two strongest Eighth-Rank Essence Spirit were also violently shattered under the impact of these two black phoenix shadows.

With this, all four Eighth-Rank Time Spirit fell.

Qin Yan looked out, and the blood-colored dark storm was still raging across the entire sea area.

Countless silver fragments of time energy drifted in the seawater, then spontaneously condensed into fist-sized time crystal.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Yan collected the thousands of scattered time crystal into the Blood Demon Nest.

The battle ended, and the two Shadow Clone turned into streams of light and merged back into his body.

Qin Yan waved his hand to disperse the blood-colored dark storm that was still raging in the silver sea area.

The massive crimson storm slowly stopped rotating, transforming into countless fine threads of energy intertwined with blood and darkness, dissipating into the seawater.

His figure turned into a stream of light intertwined with black and white, arriving beside the orb of silver-white Time Profundity floating in the deepest part of the cave in the blink of an eye.

The fist-sized orb of light floated silently in mid-air, with ripples of silver time spreading outwards from it.

It radiated an ancient and mysterious aura that would make any Martial Artist go crazy.

However, when Qin Yan extended his palm and channeled his True Qi to try and absorb this orb of Time Profundity into his body, he found that no matter how he channeled his Mental Energy and Qi and blood, the silver-white orb remained motionless as if it were nailed to this space.

Qin Yan's brows furrowed involuntarily.

He had been wondering about this before.

These Time Spirit had guarded this cave for who knows how many years, so why didn't they just absorb or take away this orb of Time Profundity?

Instead, they just obediently gathered around it, absorbing the faint radiance it emitted.

Now it seemed that the root cause was simply that it could not be taken away.

The treasure was right before his eyes and within reach, yet he could do nothing about it, which made Qin Yan secretly anxious.

"Qin Yan, let me try."

Just then, Xiao Hei's voice came from the Blood Demon Nest.

Qin Yan nodded without hesitation.

Immediately after, Xiao Hei exerted its power.

Seeing this, pitch-black chains of darkness slowly extended from Qin Yan's body at his side.

Each of those chains was only as thick as a finger, yet they emitted a terrifying pressure that would make even a Venerable-level powerhouse take notice.

Ancient and obscure dark runes wound and circulated on the chains like living creatures.

Each flicker released a force of pure, ultimate darkness rules from the chains.

These were rule chains condensed directly from Darkness Profundity, not the chains Qin Yan usually condensed using Darkness Power.

The dark chains slowly coiled toward the Time Profundity floating in mid-air.

However, just as the chains were about to touch the silver-white orb of light, their tips were abruptly blocked as if they had hit an invisible wall.

No matter how Xiao Hei urged the Darkness Profundity chains to push forward, that invisible barrier remained immovable.

The dark runes on the dark chains lit up with a brilliant and deep dark light the moment they were blocked.

And the Time Profundity orb seemed to be touched by this supreme rule force of the same level.

Tiny and complex silver-white runes appeared on the surface of the orb.

Those runes seemed to be communicating and echoing with the dark runes on the dark chains in some mysterious and unfathomable way.

"Hum—!"

The next moment, the orb of Time Profundity, which had originally been firmly imprisoned in place, suddenly flared with silver light and broke free from its original spot on its own.

It turned into a silver stream of light and flew straight toward Qin Yan, merging into his body without any obstruction.

The moment the Time Profundity entered his body, Qin Yan clearly perceived its specific quantity—two percent of the Time Profundity.

However, most of it was sealed by the chains formed by the Darkness Profundity the moment it entered his body.

With his current strength, he simply could not withstand the impact of such a massive supreme Profound Truth.

After the Time Profundity entered his body, Qin Yan's perception of his surroundings underwent a subtle and indescribable change.

The flow of time in the surrounding silver seawater became clearer and more discernible to him than before.

He could even faintly feel the subtle time rule fragments in the Sea of Time presenting themselves in his perception with unprecedented clarity.

Under the blessing of a portion of the Time Profundity, he had become gifted in the Dao of Time!

"This place is not suitable for staying long; I should slip away."

Qin Yan did not hesitate at all. His figure immediately turned into a stream of light, speeding away from the direction of this cave as fast as he could.

Not long after Qin Yan's figure disappeared, the two thousand-zhang-tall Ninth-Rank Time Spirit rushed back from afar.

When they saw that the location in the cave where the Time Profundity had originally been stored was now empty, and that their descendants, along with those Seventh-Rank and Eighth-Rank Essence Spirit, had all disappeared without a trace, the two behemoths simultaneously let out a deafening roar of anger toward the sky.

The massive sound waves spread frantically in all directions like a physical force, churning the surrounding dozens of miles of sea area and causing the space to collapse.

After successfully obtaining the Time Profundity, Qin Yan found a relatively quiet sea area and sat down cross-legged in silence.

While consolidating the Time Profundity he had just obtained in his body, he quietly waited for Yue Chenyuan's return.

About a quarter of an hour later, a black stream of light sped over from the distant sea area and landed in front of Qin Yan, revealing Yue Chenyuan's slender figure clad in a black robe.

"Qin Yan, did you succeed?"

Yue Chenyuan looked at Qin Yan, her eyes hidden under the black robe full of vigilance.

Wealth moves people's hearts; the more critical the moment of splitting the spoils, the more one must maintain twelve points of vigilance.

"Hmm."

Qin Yan nodded. Without any further nonsense, he flipped his palm directly and took out an orb of silver-white light from his body.
