124: Chapter 124 The Temple of Time!

The next objective had become very clear.

Acquire the materials for the time-space sword while simultaneously searching for the location where the stone of god drops.

As well as the potential site of the divine inheritance.

According to Milian's description, the monsters that dropped the stone of god were also found in a special scenario within the Rift of Time, known as the Temple of Time.

The Temple of Time spawned randomly within the Rift of Time and was said to house powerful Heroic Spirits.

By killing them, one could obtain a massive amount of experience as well as the stone of god, which could enhance the level of divine artifacts.

This was essentially the goal for all Professionals entering the Rift of Time.

Along the way, the atmosphere among the group underwent a subtle change.

After all, the Three Women had just personally ended the lives of two Professionals. Although killing was something they would eventually encounter, they hadn't expected it to happen so suddenly.

The usually cheerful Su Xiaoruan's small face was still slightly pale.

Her gaze flickered toward Lu Yin's back, filled with an mixture of fear and curiosity.

Light and shadow interlaced within the Rift of Time, and distorted time-space energy floated through the air like transparent silk ribbons.

The four moved forward in silence, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the empty rift.

Because of Lu Yin's presence, almost all the monsters on the road were instantly killed by him.

After sweeping through for about an hour, a brand-new type of time-space monster appeared in their field of vision.

【Time-Space Guardian】

【Level: 55 (World Elite)】

【Strength: 6,000, Constitution: 60,000】

【Agility: 5,500, Spirit: 40,000】

【Skills: Space Slash, Void Barrier, Phase Blink, Rift Slash】

The moment the Time-Space Guardian appeared, a hint of excitement flashed in Lu Yin's eyes.

Time-space type monsters, whether in terms of skills or attributes, were stronger than ordinary monsters, and their drops were also rarer.

Without further ado, the Death Legion launched an attack.

A deluge of skills poured down. Even though these Time-Space Guardians possessed displacement and defensive skills, they still could not escape the fate of being killed instantly.

【Ding! You have killed a Time-Space Guardian. Experience gained: 80,000 (-20%)!】

【Ding! Obtained loot: Astral Iron, Silverglow Fragment!】

【...】

A series of system notifications rang in Lu Yin's ears.

"Not bad. These Time-Space Guardians happen to drop the materials needed to forge the time-space sword."

Lu Yin looked at the increasing number of materials in his inventory, a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes.

At this moment, Milian stepped forward and spoke softly.

"It seems we've found the right place."

"Time-Space Guardians are elite guards within the Rift of Time and usually only spawn in special locations."

"There should be a special scenario appearing nearby. I just don't know if it's the Time-Space Corridor or the Temple of Time."

"Let's go find it quickly."

"Alright," Lu Yin nodded.

Ling Ying transformed into a raptor form, using the broader field of vision from high altitude to scout.

Before long, Ling Ying flew back to report.

"Lu Yin, three kilometers to the east, there's a large gathering of time-space monsters and a blurry outline of a temple."

"There are also many Professional teams fighting the monsters, pushing toward the temple."

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Lu Yin's eyes.

"The Temple of Time... it seems our luck is good."

He looked in the direction Ling Ying pointed. Though separated by distorted time-space energy, he could vaguely sense the powerful energy fluctuations coming from there.

"Let's go."

Lu Yin did not hesitate, leading the Three Women as they rushed toward the east.

The closer they got to the temple, the more Time-Space Guardians there were, and even more powerful time-space monsters began to appear.

【Time-Space Priest】

【Level: 58 (World Elite)】

【Strength: 4,000, Constitution: 45,000】

【Agility: 4,000, Spirit: 80,000】

【Skills: Time-Space Distortion, Time Stasis, Spatial Explosion, Shadow of Space】

These Time-Space Priests not only had stronger attributes but also more bizarre skills.

Time Stasis could make the movements of enemies within its range extremely slow, while Time-Space Distortion and Spatial Explosion could deal massive magic damage.

The final skill, Shadow of Space, was a life-saving divine skill for mages.

Upon being attacked, it would leave a shadow in place while the original body teleported over a hundred meters away.

This caused the monster's strength to skyrocket by a whole level.

However, for Lu Yin, none of this was a problem.

【Ding! You have killed a Time-Space Priest. Experience gained: 100,000 (-20%)!】

【Ding! Obtained loot: Void Dust, Time-Space Essence!】

【...】

【Ding! Your level has increased to 31!】

【Death Space capacity increased. Current: 375/61!】

As Lu Yin killed the monsters, their experience bars surged, and soon a golden light flashed around Lu Yin as he leveled up.

Furthermore, his Death Legion was supplemented with brand-new unit types as he continued to kill enemies.

As for the capacity of the Death Space, it seemed that because he had completed his first turn...

...the increase per level had changed from 1 per level to 100 per level.

For Lu Yin, this was a significant growth.

With Lu Yin clearing the way, the four quickly approached the Temple of Time.

The surrounding time-space energy became increasingly turbulent, and the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious aura.

Distorted light and shadow flowed around them, as if time itself had become fragmented here.

In the distance, the silhouette of a towering temple gradually became clear.

It was built entirely of silver-gray boulders, its surface rippling with faint time-space waves.

Dozens of Professional teams had already gathered outside the temple, engaged in a fierce battle with a tide-like swarm of time-space monsters.

Shouts of battle, the explosions of skills, and the roars of monsters intertwined, creating a chaotic and spectacular scene.

Lu Yin also noticed that many of the teams here were like the Han Alliance members from before.

They had transformed from four-person small groups into large squads of 12 or 16 people.

While this grouping method would further split the experience points, it allowed the teams to increase their monster-killing efficiency.

Especially since the time-space monsters here were very powerful; although the Professionals who could enter this place were elites...

...some of the slightly weaker teams still found it somewhat difficult to cope.

"It seems the competition is even fiercer than imagined." Milian frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping across the battlefield.

As a special scenario, the Temple of Time naturally had its own unique rules.

In a Temple of Time, only the first three four-person teams to enter would be eligible for the challenge.

The reason Lu Yin hadn't rushed to enter was precisely because he wanted to assemble his army of death first...

...and take this opportunity to farm more materials for forging the time-space sword.

"Keep it up, brothers! We're about to enter the Temple of Time!"

"As long as I can get a stone of god, everyone in the team will receive an Epic gear reward!"

"Haha, as expected of Young Master Donald. We'll thank you in advance then!"

As Lu Yin advanced in an orderly fashion, he noticed a well-equipped twelve-man team near the main entrance of the temple that was particularly eye-catching.

Sensing Lu Yin's gaze, Milian, who was beside him, began to explain.

"That person is the young master of the Trance Family from the American Alliance, Donald Trance."

"The Trance Family is one of the major families in the American Alliance and controls a significant amount of resources."

"Donald is a relatively favored direct descendant of the family. It's said his father specially provided him with an elite guard team so he could gain something from the Rift of Time this time."
