Ye Chen let go of his palm and the blood crystal, which was like a rhombus-shaped red diamond, left his palm and floated in the void in front of him. It spun gently and every rhombus-shaped surface was glowing with bright red rays.
Phew!
A pitch-black flame, which was like a demonic flame from the underworld, suddenly burst out from the bottom of the blood crystal. It instantly engulfed the blood crystal and devoured the energy in it crazily.
If one were to take a closer look, they would realize that there were thousands of thin lines in the air. They were faint in color and there was a faint red light flowing in them. They were like blood veins that were injected into Ye Chen's skin. Wisps of pure energy extracted from the blood crystal gathered in his bones and blood.
Under the bright red energy, Ye Chen's body was like a piece of ancient ice. He didn't move an inch. His skin slowly glowed with bright red light and it engulfed his body that was like an ancient war god.
In a few minutes, there was a loud bang from Ye Chen's body. It was like the sound of thunder exploding. Even his clothes and hair shook violently and fluttered in the air.
Puff!
A river of time that seemed to stretch across the heavens and earth suddenly opened above Ye Chen's head, tearing a huge ravine in the silvery-white space.
The seven-colored time river seemed to flow down from heaven and poured into Ye Chen's Baihui acupoint on top of his head. It filled his entire body. There was a spacetime rule power that landed on Ye Chen's body and caused the chaotic power in his body to transform rapidly.
Epoch Realm!
Ye Chen, who had reached the bottleneck of Peak Emperor God, immediately experienced a drastic change under the stimulation of the blood crystal. He broke through completely.
An ordinary person who was stuck at the Peak Emperor God level had spent countless years. Even though his physical body had reached the limit of Peak Emperor God, his consciousness and soul power hadn't cultivated to the point where he was qualified to receive the power of time. If he were to break through rashly, his soul would be crushed by the billowing power of time during the process of breaking through. It was also possible that he would turn from a Peak Emperor God to a newborn baby in reverse.
This was also the reason why there were so few Epoch Realm experts on the Ancient Continent.
Back then, the Heavenly Dao had relied on the Heavenly Dao Scripture. Although the strength of the soul hadn't reached a level where it could accept the power of time, it had relied on its powerful physique and tremendous energy to forcefully resist the power of time. Moreover, as soon as it reached the Epoch Realm, it possessed the strength of a peak Epoch Realm expert!
This was the mysterious charm of the Heavenly Dao Scripture.
This was also the reason why all the highly cultivated Emperor God experts were willing to give up their dignity and cultivation. They would not hesitate to reveal their most primitive side to fight for it.
At that moment, the power of time was pouring into Ye Chen's body. His genes and flesh were filled with the power of time. He became stronger, more mysterious, and more ancient.
A true powerhouse was immortal despite the decay of the sun and moon.
A true powerhouse stood on the river of time.
Time couldn't destroy it. That was the eternal truth!
Around Ye Chen's body, there seemed to be many illusions. From the day he was born in the hospital, a pale middle-aged woman was lying on the hospital bed, sweating profusely. Then, a middle-aged man rushed in from outside, his face full of excitement and joy.
That was his father.
Then, he slowly grew up. From childhood to youth, there were illusions of him in primary school, middle school, and high school. That was a period of pure and clean memories.
The sky in that period of memory was as blue as the sea.
Then, there was the end of the world. The entire world was shrouded in haze. Happiness was destroyed by death. The unknown fear, the struggle step by step, gnawing on rotten flesh, burying the weakness in one's heart, creating a cold shell. He could use a pair of sharp and cold eyes to look at this changed world.
This was a sharp and cold world.
He had already learned to wander around in it.
Only by becoming as cold as himself could he survive in it.
This was perhaps one of the greatest tragedies of mankind.
In his previous life, he had died alone. In this life, he had regained happiness and warmth. The warmth of his family, friends, and lovers.
Although it was still the end of the world, he already felt that he was the happiest person.
In order to protect this happiness, he kept on becoming stronger.
Who gave you a pair of warm eyes in that cold world?
Who is it that is always by your side when you are lonely and lonely?
The illusions around Ye Chen's body, all the scenes of his past, were like a miniature replay. It seemed like ten thousand years, but it also seemed like only a moment had passed. They all rushed into his dark pupils, leaving only a faint light on his retina.
Ye Chen retracted his gaze, lowered his head, looked at his hands, and then slowly clenched his five fingers into a fist.
He could feel the surging power in his body. It was unprecedentedly strong, like a surging and roaring river. His body seemed to be tightly embedded with this world, like a large spider on a spider's web. If he was pulled down, it would affect some kind of thread of the entire world.
Line of Law.
Line of Time.
He felt that his every action could change time. It was as though with a thought, he could make the void in front of him return to the ancient times.
"So this is the Epoch Realm …" Ye Chen suddenly thought of the Demonic Palace. The cultivation space there was like the Tower of Time. It could increase one's speed by a hundred times. Especially the broken world inside, it could increase one's speed by a thousand times!
The universe of an ordinary Emperor God expert wouldn't be able to speed up.
"I knew it. The person who could create a secret skill like the Universal Heaven Smelting God Technique is definitely not a simple person. It seems that Wan Renxiong could kill ten thousand Emperor God experts. He is most likely in the Epoch Realm or even stronger."
Ye Chen thought to himself. He clenched his fist, then continued to sit down. The black flame in his body became stronger and stronger, like a ferocious devil's face. It wrapped around the shrunken blood crystal tightly and burned it crazily.
There was an additional wisp of time power in the black flame.
The burning speed suddenly increased by ten times!
In Ye Chen's flesh, his cells and genes were entangled by a bright red energy. They were transforming crazily. His gene strands twisted violently as if they were about to break.
His body was changing at an astonishing speed.
"Virtual Sky World!"
Ye Chen's eyes were sharp. With this breakthrough, he would truly become a super expert who controlled the ancient world and look down on the ancient times.
… …
The white bone road.
Bang!
A black shadow fell from the sky like a meteor. It crashed heavily on the solid white bone road, causing cracks to appear on the solid white bone road.
The black shadow suddenly flipped over and stood up. It spread its wings and quickly avoided the pursuit. It flashed and appeared in another space.
Countless bright red tentacles extended from the wall of flesh and blood above him and wrapped around his body.
Zero's eyes were cold. It turned its wings slightly and the flesh tentacles around it were quickly destroyed.
"Back off," Ksitigarbha looked at the Earth Blood Beast below him and said indifferently.
The Earth Blood Beast's body trembled slightly, and its eyes revealed a strong sense of fear. Its body shrank, and then the blood-red tentacles in the sky quickly retracted as well.
Ginns, who was lying in the distance, turned his head weakly and looked at Ksitigarbha in the sky. His eyes were full of shock and fear. He couldn't imagine that there was someone on the ancient continent who could fight with that monster and not be at a disadvantage!
Who was he?
Why was he here?
Ginns felt that there were many unusual things. He moved his fingers, but the bones in his body seemed to be broken. Even with his majestic vitality, he couldn't restore himself in a short time.
He sighed in his heart and closed his eyes in despair.
At this moment, Ksitigarbha and Zero were locked in a fierce battle in the sky. However, it didn't take long for Zero to be completely at a disadvantage. Ksitigarbha, on the other hand, was still full of energy, as if he had endless power.
Ksitigarbha Ksitigarbha chuckled. His body flashed and he appeared behind Zero. Like a ghost, he grabbed the roots of Zero's two huge wings. "Are your movements sluggish? This is not good …"
Zero was shocked and rushed forward, trying to break free from Ksitigarbha's grip.
However, as soon as his body moved, Ksitigarbha's palm tightly clasped down. Like a sharp knife, it pierced the flesh of his wings and tore the two sturdy black wings apart.
Puchi ~
Bright red blood sprinkled down from the sky like raindrops.
Zero screamed as his body trembled violently. The two huge black wings behind him were completely separated from his body. From the connecting ribs on his back, blood spurted out like a fountain.
Ksitigarbha held the two huge black wings in his hand and shook his head regretfully. "Oh, really …"
Boom!
A layer of lines suddenly lit up on the black wings in his hand and they exploded with a bang.
Before Ksitigarbha could finish his words, he was interrupted by the shock wave of the explosion. In such a close range explosion, even with the protection of the Earth Shield, he was not always on guard. At this moment, it was too late.
Zero gasped for breath as he stared at the shock wave of the explosion. Black debris and meat powder burst out like mud.
When all the black debris disappeared, Ksitigarbha's body was revealed. His hair was a little messy, his cheeks were a little black and blue, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
His eyes were like two flames that wanted to shoot out.
"Good, very good …"
He took a deep breath, then stared at Zero and clenched his fists.
The entire white bone road seemed to tremble violently, and the entire sky seemed to be frozen.
