139: Lord of Time

The remaining balance was settled.

Although the cost reached tens of billions, Lin Ye had no complaints; the Star Power he absorbed during this breakthrough was immense.

He rented another training room.

He first absorbed the star stone.

The Lord of Stars ability also transformed into a core crystal.

He now had five core crystals.

His body's amplitude surged again, reaching nearly 270.

He then absorbed the Lord of Time, which he had long treasured.

This absorption was different from previous ones; it was exceptionally difficult.

Someone once proposed a theory.

Time is supreme, space is king.

The power of time and space is the most difficult to control, hailed as the power of gods.

To master the power of gods, a very high price must be paid.

It is no longer something ordinary people can bear.

For example, in terms of abilities, the proficiency of time- and space-Department abilities is extremely difficult to improve.

Space-Tie is still fine; at least there are many people who walk this path, but for time-Tie, Lin Ye has not seen any until now.

Undoubtedly, this improvement would be enormous.

Lin Ye spent seven days absorbing the Lord of Time.

After absorption, he briefly tested his abilities.

Thegetting Started Lord of Time's amplification was very weak, only able to increase the flow rate around Lin Ye by 10% or slow it down by 10%.

That weak?

Even the most basic speed-boosting abilities would increase speed by more than 10%, right?

However, Lin Ye had no intention of looking down on the Lord of Time.

Time and space abilities are very weak at low levels.

For example, space-movement types.

At thegetting Started level, one can only move less than a meter, which is not as practical as a speed-boosting ability.

But low lower limit, high upper limit.

For example, Lin Ye's Space Control; now, teleporting hundreds of meters is not an issue, and its mobility is much stronger than acceleration types.

Acceleration-type abilities, such as Swift Steps.

Initially, it can increase speed by 30%, then 50%, 70%, and even at the pinnacle, it's only double.

What is double movement speed in front of teleportation?

When teleportation is practiced to Lin Ye's level, walking in the void means covering thousands of meters in an instant.

The Lord of Time is the same; initially, it's just a mere 10% acceleration or deceleration, and the range is pitifully small, but if it's upgraded to the very end, its power is unimaginable.

No sooner said than done, adding points to the Lord of Time also costs twice as much as ordinary Star Level abilities.

However, Lin Ye can now max it out in just over a month, and he accumulated quite a few skill points during his breakthrough.

Panel, add points!

As skill points were invested, the Lord of Time reached the pinnacle of mastery.

Lin Ye activated the Lord of Time; time acceleration increased to three times its original speed, and deceleration could slow down to one-third of its original base, with the range increasing to three meters around his body.

Although still short, it was much longer than before.

And an ability was born.

Lin Ye drew a wound on his body.

With his current physique, weapons certainly couldn't achieve this goal.

He controlled his body to create the wound himself.

Activating the Lord of Time, time instantly flowed backward.

Returning to a perfectly intact state.

A very powerful ability.

Now, as long as Lin Ye isn't instantly killed and doesn't have time to activate the Lord of Time, he can recover his state by relying on time reversal.

Unfortunately, for now, he can only recover to the state from 0.5 seconds ago.

Accelerating and decelerating time is already an act against heaven, let alone time reversal.

For a mortal body to leverage the power of laws is already an act against heaven.

Lin Ye was not insatiably greedy.

Moreover, the most reckless use of abilities is inefficient; the best method is for him to develop corresponding skills to fully unleash the power of the Lord of Time.

Unfortunately, he hadn't reached that level yet.

"Just enough skill points to break through another ability to Primordial Grade, who should I choose?" Lin Ye muttered to himself.

Now there were four abilities that hadn't broken through yet: Lord of Time, Fate, Undying Soul, and Intuition.

He just tested the Lord of Time, far from enough.

Fate was pretty much the same, not enough.

After thinking about it, he decided to improve Undying Soul.

His biggest weakness now was Soul defense.

The Sea Serpent Scale could no longer keep up with him.

Although he escaped from the succubus last time, he vaguely suspected it was the work of Self-Mastery.

If the succubus had used Soul attacks instead of control, he probably would have been finished.

Therefore, prioritizing Soul defense was of utmost importance.

Once he reached Star Level and could freely develop skills, he must make up for his weaknesses.

He found the guard comrade and troubled him again.

The young guard was shocked; hadn't he just broken through? It had only been four months, how could he have broken through again?

But they were professionally trained; ordinary matters could not make them show any expression on their faces.

Under the protection of the young guards, Lin Ye began his breakthrough.

The sky began to change; this time, it was not as obvious as the previous times, with a strange gray color spreading across the heavens and earth.

Lin Ye absorbed the fragments of laws from this heaven and earth.

Three days later, this transformation ended.

His physical qualities did not improve much, which was within Lin Ye's expectations.

After all, this was a Soul-type ability.

The changes to his physical body were small, but the changes to his Soul were significant.

His Soul seemed to have reached an incredibly unimaginable level, increasing by more than five times.

Moreover, the indestructible characteristic was brought to its extreme, making his Soul incredibly tenacious.

Coupled with Chaos's defense against the Soul, his Soul was now truly impregnable.

If he met the succubus again, he would beat the crap out of her.

Lin Ye was eager to try.

Returning to Sky City, after absorbing the star stone, another core crystal was born.

He was now not far from a perfect breakthrough.

His amplitude also reached over 320.

Lin Ye felt that his final amplitude could increase to around 500.

After all, after everything was fully absorbed, there could still be a small increase in amplitude.

Everything was ready; he put on the newly forged Rune Armor C.

It was still ordered from Master Liu, but this time he paid for it.

Lin Ye's previous advertisement had a very good effect; after people learned that Lin Ye, who had defied a Star Level opponent at the eighth rank, had equipment made by Master Liu, they all sought him out.

So the master was very happy.

This time, to show his gratitude, he symbolically charged only for the materials.

The speed at which this equipment becameWaste made Lin Ye's heart ache, but there was nothing he could do; Star Level equipment could not be driven below Star Level.

Primordial Core, he still needed to break through quickly; with a Primordial Core, his combat power would skyrocket.

Returning to Gray Mist City.

Five months had passed by then.

Gray Mist City and the demons outside had fought many battles, big and small.

The Demon Invasion did indeed cause significant casualties at first, but that was because the creatures of the Star Realm had not united, allowing them to exploit a loophole.

Now, the Elf Race and the Dwarf Race exerted their strength, entangling the main force of the demons.

Coupled with the very powerful races in the universe, they managed to withstand the attacks.

Currently, the forces confronting White Mist City belonged to Demon Lord Vega.
