352: The Reflection of Time

Lin Chen recalled what the several Empire Lords had said earlier.

He guessed that the Half-step Eternal Realm ancestor of the Mayfly Clan had probably gone to another dimensional world.

Only by going to a mid-level or high-level four-dimensional world can one condense the Great Emperor Seal.

Therefore, it was highly likely that only Great Emperor Realm Mayfly Clan members had attacked Savage Iron.

With a suspicious target, it was much easier to find them.

The world could not find the reclusive Mayfly Clan, but for Lin Chen, it was very easy.

He had mastered the Great Dao of Karma, and had even comprehended the Laws of Karma to the Eternal level!

Immediately, a purple light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and he looked up above his head.

He saw countless karmic lines appearing above his head.

Lin Chen carefully sensed them.

Hmm?

Nothing?

"This is impossible..."

He tried again, but found that he still couldn't sense any karmic lines related to the Mayfly Clan.

"Could it be some treasure that can shield karmic perception?"

Lin Chen speculated in his mind.

Some treasures could indeed shield karmic perception.

"It seems this Mayfly Clan really has something up its sleeve."

Lin Chen chuckled softly, then looked at the system panel.

He thought to himself that he wanted to deduce a Great Dao Combat Skill that could break through karmic shielding and track targets!

Sure enough, as if the system understood his thoughts, the Great Dao Combat Skill deduction column began its deduction.

Lin Chen checked the Energy Points consumption; it was only a few trillion stones... He currently had over 60 quadrillion stones!

"Through karmic perception, Savage Iron is still alive, but his location cannot be determined."

"The deduction is estimated to take one or two weeks. I'll just go directly to the Martial Dao Space."

Then Lin Chen took a step and entered the Seventh Layer of Time and Space.

This layer of spacetime is currently the safest in the Endless Realm, because only those who have mastered the Laws of Spacetime at the late Eternal level can enter here.

After taking out the gray sphere, Lin Chen directly entered the Martial Dao Space.

The time acceleration in the Martial Dao Space can be increased up to 300,000 times.

If he stayed inside for a month, only an instant would pass in the outside world... Although he now had the even more heaven-defying years pearl, which could accelerate time by 100 million times.

However, each time the years pearl activated time acceleration, it would take a hundred years to recover!

He had to wait until he had a major breakthrough before using it.

Two weeks later, the battle skill deduction was complete.

Lin Chen opened his eyes in surprise.

A new battle skill appeared in the Great Dao Combat Skill column of the system panel.

River of Time Reflection Method (Creation Mid-rank) (0 / 50 trillion stones)

(Locks onto a target's segment of fate trajectory in the River of Time through karmic lines, then time-reverses and reflects this segment.)

"This is... time reversal!"

"No... it should be an enhanced version of time reversal!"

Lin Chen's expression became excited.

System deductions always yield masterpieces, and this was a battle skill at the Creation Mid-rank level!

Only 50 trillion stones, Lin Chen directly consumed Energy Points and began to learn the River of Time Reflection Method.

At the same time, he also took out the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Buzz—

The Bodhi Ancient Tree emitted endless light and directly rooted itself beside Lin Chen.

Instantly, he felt his thought processing speed begin to skyrocket.

Previously complex problems could now be understood in a single thought.

Comprehension increased by a million times!

One must know, his current comprehension was already at the late Eternal level!

Now, with the comprehension boost from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, it directly reached an incredible Realm!

Lin Chen estimated that his current comprehension should be comparable to a Saint Lord!

Under such a comprehension boost, Lin Chen's speed in learning the River of Time Reflection Method was astonishingly fast.

He mastered it completely in less than a day!

Afterward, Lin Chen directly left the Martial Dao Space and arrived at the Sixth Layer Space-Time.

Originally, his clone, along with Savage Iron, should have been ambushed in the Sixth Layer Space-Time.

"Come on, I want to see if it's you rats..."

The next moment, Lin Chen's gaze sharpened, and his pupils turned a chaotic color.

In his line of sight, a vast River of Time appeared.

This was precisely the River of Time of the Endless Realm!

The River of Time contained endless power, and Lin Chen's mind was deeply shaken.

Each wave in the long river was the birth and destruction of a living being.

The larger waves represented that the living being's strength was stronger during its life.

As for those mortal beings, they couldn't even stir up a single wave in the River of Time... Lin Chen now began to activate the River of Time Reflection Method.

Immediately, in his perception, a karmic line belonging to Savage Iron, connected to him, appeared. This karmic line instantly plunged into the River of Time and began to flow upstream.

Time also began to reverse... Soon, when it reached a certain node.

Suddenly, one of the waves at this node also extended a karmic line.

The two karmic lines connected together.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

"Found it!"

"Reflect!"

Lin Chen's thought moved, and immediately a segment of imagery began to appear in his pupils.

The images flickered rapidly, and in an instant, he understood everything.

After a long while, Lin Chen slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the River of Time in his eyes had already disappeared.

"It really is the Mayfly Clan..."

A cold light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and a killing intent arose in his heart.

He learned through the River of Time Reflection Method that at that time, Savage Iron and Lin Chen's clone had already rendezvoused with dozens of Emperor Realm Experts from Man Country.

Their idea at the time was to return to Man Country first. Lin Chen's clone was leading them to fly rapidly through the Sixth Layer Space-Time, preparing to go to a super long-distance teleportation gate.

But midway, they encountered Great Emperor Realm Experts of the Mayfly Clan.

It turned out that the Mayfly Clan had long been eyeing the Black Tower. A Great Emperor Realm expert of the Mayfly Clan had been guarding near the Black Tower, preparing to intercept the opportunity!

This Mayfly Clan possessed a treasure that shielded perception, so even Lin Chen's Eternal Realm true spirit hadn't discovered it.

"It seems that the Mayfly Clan Great Emperor saw me kill those Great Emperors earlier..."

"I wonder if you're still there..."

Lin Chen's lips curled slightly. The next moment, his figure flickered and he re-entered the Seventh Layer of Time and Space.

Then he rushed towards a certain place.

Having previously used the River of Time Reflection Method, that Mayfly Clan Great Emperor already had a faint karmic connection with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen continued to use the River of Time Reflection Method while traveling.

Soon, he saw a figure fleeing for his life.

"Can you escape?"

Lin Chen sneered. In the Seventh Layer of Time and Space, his flying speed far exceeded that in the Sixth Layer Space-Time.

Now his true spirit had locked onto that Mayfly Clan Great Emperor.

Buzz—

The next moment, Lin Chen directly tore through space, instantly appearing in front of a rapidly flying figure.

He saw a being with antennae on its head, an extremely ugly appearance, and a pair of transparent wings on its back, suddenly stop.

He looked at Lin Chen with a face full of terror, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, then slowly returning to calm.

"Little friend, do we know each other?"

"Why are you blocking my way?"

Lin Chen looked at him calmly, and spoke indifferently:

"Why are you running?"

"You should be glad you didn't kill them directly."

The Mayfly Clan Great Emperor's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He stared at Lin Chen in disbelief.

"You... what are you talking about..."

Lin Chen shook his head slightly. This Mayfly Clan Great Emperor was still pretending to be foolish.

Immediately, he stopped wasting words.

Boom—

An extremely powerful true spirit force appeared, instantly restraining the Mayfly Clan Great Emperor in front of him.

"Kid, what do you want to do!"

"I know you're strong, but I advise you not to mess around. My clan has a Half-step Eternal Realm powerhouse!"

Hmm?

Lin Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He suddenly became interested.

Could it be that the Mayfly Clan's ancestor successfully condensed the eternal seal?

And came back?

Then which dimensional world did this Mayfly Clan ancestor go to?

A strong curiosity filled his heart.

The next moment, with a single wave of his hand, a jade bottle on the Mayfly Clan Great Emperor flew out.

Lin Chen casually erased the Mayfly Great Emperor's mark on the jade bottle, then a true spirit force probed inside.

This is... Lin Chen looked at the scene inside the jade bottle with a shocked expression.

He had seen it before through the River of Time Reflection Method, so he knew that the Mayfly Great Emperor had put Savage Iron and dozens of Emperor Realm Experts from Man Country into this jade bottle.

Now that his true spirit probed in, he saw that there were actually Emperor Realm Beings from countless nations inside the jade bottle!

He recognized at a glance that many of the Emperor Realm Beings were from those nations that had failed in the Black Tower quota ranking battle before.

These Emperor Realm Beings should have returned to their own nations long ago, but unexpectedly, they were captured by the Mayfly Great Emperor!

"What is this Mayfly Clan doing?"
