Chapter 830
The Final Battle, the Divine Power of the Ring of Time
Accompanied by a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the countless stars in the sky suddenly changed.
Priestess Lin Yuejia's heart tightened as she instantly noticed the unusual movement in the sky and quickly looked up.
The countless stars that were once as dazzling as shattered diamonds dimmed one by one in an instant, quickly disappearing into the deep darkness.
Only six stars remained high in the sky, radiating dazzling golden light, standing out starkly against the dark backdrop.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the Holy Enlightenment Scepter in her teacher's hand, her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowing in shock.
The level-seven exotic material Time Crystal embedded at the top of the staff, which originally flowed with starlight, now lost all its luster as if the tide had receded. Even the Time Patterns engraved on its surface lost their vitality and fell into complete silence.
Clearly, the Time Crystal has exhausted almost all of its original power.
Without ten years of nurturing and recuperation, it would be impossible to fully recover.
Lin Yuejia looked up at the six stars again, a thought flashing through her mind, and she vaguely guessed: "The Shadow Secret Palace has sent six high-level Venerables this time. Could these six stars represent six enemies?"
The priestess's guess was quickly confirmed.
Anjafina looked at Yang Fan, her aged voice filled with obvious fatigue, as if the previous actions had taken a great toll: "Your Majesty, with my current abilities, I can only barely mark the 'Destiny Stars' of the six high-level Venerables of the Shadow Secret Palace."
She paused, then said, "Fortunately, Your Majesty helped me recover to my full strength. Otherwise, in my previous state, even if I had activated the full power of the Time Crystal, I could have only marked the star trajectories of four high-level Venerables at most."
Lin Yuejia glanced subconsciously at the completely dimmed Time Crystal on the scepter, and for the first time truly realized the terrifying power of a level seven extraordinary material.
The teacher, originally a mid-level Venerable, was able to use this crystal to traverse an incredibly vast distance and accurately locate the destiny star of a high-level Venerable.
Yang Fan gazed at the six bright stars in the sky, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes: "That's enough. With the marks of these six destiny stars, I can pull them into the Ring of Time."
The voice just fell.
He quickly raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly bent, and made a firm and powerful "pull down" gesture.
next moment.
Above the sky, six bright stars suddenly began to tremble violently.
Six dazzling threads of light emerged in response, carrying a powerful aura of destiny, and rapidly extended towards the river of time below.
The High Priest seemed to sense something and warned urgently, "The enemy has already noticed that the Destiny Stars have been marked and is forcibly interfering with them using the laws of nature. These six stars can only maintain their light for a maximum of five seconds!"
Yang Fan nodded slightly, his expression remaining calm: "Five seconds is more than enough."
After a while.
An earth-shattering change suddenly erupted!
The ceaseless river of time below, pulled by the power of the laws, suddenly rose into the air, its waters reversed, and surged wildly towards the sky.
As the giant waves crashed against the shore, countless fragments of time flew everywhere, and the endless river seemed to hang upside down like a celestial river. The scene was so magnificent that it made one's soul tremble.
In the blink of an eye, the swirling river water condensed and took shape, transforming into a giant ring with a diameter measured in hundreds of kilometers.
This is the true Ring of Time created by Yang Fan by intercepting the River of Time and merging it with the power of time left behind by the ancient gods.
Intricate and profound time patterns flowed around its body, and an overwhelming pressure of laws spread out with a roar.
The surrounding space and time were forcibly distorted, the light was disordered, the space was wrinkled, and even the air seemed to be frozen.
Around the ring, dozens of huge black vortexes appeared out of thin air, as black as ink and unfathomably deep.
The reason it presents this color is that all the surrounding light is swallowed up by the vortex, not even a trace can escape, leaving only a chilling emptiness and deathly silence.
Lin Yuejia was stunned.
This was the first time the priestess had witnessed a high-ranking Venerable unleash his full power, and she was utterly shocked.
soon.
The six strands of light extending from the Star of Destiny fell precisely into different areas of the Ring of Time, stirring up surging waves.
In that instant.
An extremely bizarre scene unfolded.
Above the giant water ring, huge waves surged violently, and countless fragments of time leaped on the crests of the waves.
Six twisted, distorted, and indistinct black shadows are slowly emerging from the rolling waves.
They were surrounded by an intense, impenetrable black aura, their outlines flickering in and out of focus as the power of time tore at them, and even their auras appeared chaotic and violent.
"hiss--!"
"Damn it! What kind of place is this?!"
"Get away! Don't use that filthy force to pull me!"
The shadowy figures let out piercing roars, their cries a mixture of rage and barely concealed panic.
They twisted their bodies wildly, their black aura surging, and countless black law-based light blades slashed at the inner wall of the Ring of Time, trying to break free from that invisible pull.
Clearly, a powerful force of time is holding them firmly in place, forcibly pulling them deeper into the Ring of Time.
They are fighting with all their might, trying to break through this strange constraint.
No one could truly comprehend the extreme horror that these six high-ranking Venerables of the Shadow Palace were experiencing at this moment.
Just moments before, they were carrying out a mission on the edge of the sea area of the Meijia civilization, with a powerful lineup of forty-three Venerables, firmly sealing off the Meijia territory and making orderly preparations for a forced invasion.
They were confident of victory, believing that with the resources of the Shadow Palace and their own high-level strength, they would be able to completely destroy the Mika civilization and let this world be swallowed up by the Primordial World.
But they never expected that the accident would come so suddenly.
First, a strange and domineering force of law appeared out of thin air, locking them in firmly like a leech, and no matter how they tried to activate the law, they could not get rid of it.
Immediately afterwards, another, more powerful and bizarre force swept in, attempting to drag their bodies and souls into an unknown spacetime realm.
From peak confidence to sudden panic, it only takes a moment, and this drop in confidence drives them almost to madness.
Just then.
High Priestess Angafina once again raised the Holy Revelation Scepter in her hand high—although the Time Crystal at the top of the scepter had dimmed, the divine laws surrounding her were still immense.
She gritted her teeth and roared at the top of her lungs, her voice carrying all the power of the laws: "In the name of destiny!"
With each word she uttered, a few strands of her jet-black, glossy hair would quietly turn a little white, as if being rapidly eroded by the years.
However, in the blink of an eye, a quarter of his originally black hair turned white.
The interplay of frosty white and jet-black was exceptionally striking.
But her face still retains a youthful and beautiful appearance, with radiant skin and delicate features.
Clearly, Anjafina chose to overdraw her own strength in order to win this battle, yet she was extremely restrained.
However, it was only a slight overdraft and did not damage the soul's original essence that had been painstakingly repaired.
"Boom—!"
Another deafening thunderclap shook the entire world.
Above the sky, the six stars of destiny that were originally hanging high suddenly broke free from the shackles of the celestial canopy and transformed into six dazzling shooting stars, trailing long golden tails.
They descended rapidly towards the Ring of Time below with an almost world-destroying momentum, their trajectories precise and unerring, heading straight for the six dark figures.
At the same time, Yang Fan's eyes darkened, and the pressure of high-level laws emanating from his body erupted completely.
He slowly swung his fist, the tip of which was surrounded by the laws of time and gleamed with a dazzling light, before fiercely striking the swirling river of time around him.
There are no fancy moves, only the purest and most domineering power of the laws.
Boom!!!
A thunderclap, even more deafening than before, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The giant, circular river, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, began to spin wildly, gradually increasing in speed. Countless threads of time escaped from the ring, entangling the surrounding spacetime.
Immediately afterwards, massive waves surged up on the surface of the long river.
The giant wave, hundreds of meters high, carrying fragments of time and the power of laws, crashed fiercely towards the six black shadows in the center of the ring.
The expressions of the six high-ranking Venerables changed drastically upon seeing this.
They no longer held back, pushing their own domains of laws to their limits. The surging black energy, like a burst dam, poured out of the domains, instantly turning the River of Time within a radius of tens of kilometers into inky black.
Under extreme resistance, their originally distorted and blurry forms began to shrink rapidly, and the black aura around them became increasingly condensed, as if they were about to break free from the lock of the Ring of Time and take the opportunity to escape this terrifying area.
next moment.
"boom!"
The first towering wave crashed violently into the dark river water, shaking the black mist and causing it to show signs of dissipation.
"Boom! Boom!"
Giant waves surged one after another, and the black energy began to collapse uncontrollably.
Then.
The six destiny stars that fell from the sky have arrived.
They struck the six high-level Venerables with pinpoint accuracy, their dazzling light exploding instantly like six miniature suns, completely engulfing the six Venerables.
Lin Yuejia stood at the edge of the Ring of Time, staring in disbelief at the earth-shattering battle scene before her.
Despite the protective barrier of the Ring of Time, which kept most of the terrifying pressure of the laws outside, she still felt an unprecedentedly strong sense of suffocation.
She had no doubt that if she were to leave the protection of the Ring of Time at this moment, even if no Venerable One attacked her, the residual waves of the laws emanating from the surrounding area would instantly shatter her to pieces, leaving not even a trace of her soul.
A moment later.
The dazzling light gradually faded.
The figures of the six Venerable Ones reappeared.
Lin Yuejia stared intently and immediately noticed that their bodies were no longer distorted and blurry, but had become exceptionally clear.
The priestess instantly realized that these six terrifying high-level Venerables had most likely been completely captured by the Ring of Time and could no longer break free.
Soon, Lin Yuejia saw an even stranger sight.
The six high-ranking Venerables, who were still roaring and struggling, began to undergo strange and uncontrollable changes in their bodies.
Just a moment ago, they were wrinkled and white-haired, looking old and frail, as if they were about to die.
The next moment, his body suddenly shrank, turning into the appearance of an innocent and ignorant child. All the ferocity around him disappeared, leaving only the innocence of a child.
The next moment, he transformed back into an adult, covered in wounds, his clothes torn, as if he had just experienced a fierce and deadly battle.
They seem to be caught in a vortex of time, frantically shuttling between different points in time and space, their appearance constantly changing.
Moreover, the frequency of these changes is increasing over time.
Initially, it changed every three seconds, then it accelerated to once per second, and later it changed twice per second.
Their states rapidly switched between dozens of states, eerie and terrifying, making Lin Yuejia's heart tremble.
at the same time.
Lin Yuejia was not only shocked, but also filled with disbelief: "The Savior Meijia and the teacher joined forces, one high-level Venerable and one mid-level Venerable, and actually managed to force six Shadow High-level Venerables of the same level into such a miserable situation?"
As the only spectator, she could see that although the teacher helped her with the laws of fate and even went so far as to overdraw his own power, he was ultimately only playing a supporting role.
Therefore, strictly speaking, it was actually Her Majesty the Savior of the World, Mika, who single-handedly trapped six powerful high-level Venerables within the Ring of Time.
This strength was terrifying, exceeding the limits of her comprehension.
Lin Yuejia suddenly had a thought—this was not some intercepted tributary of the river of time, but clearly a real divine artifact!
Until then.
Anjafina breathed a sigh of relief, a genuine smile of joy blooming on her beautiful face: "Your Majesty, we should have won this battle!"
In her view, the six high-ranking Venerables were the strongest members of the Shadow Temple invasion team.
Now they are firmly trapped in the Ring of Time, with no power to break free. The Shadow Palace, having lost its core combat force, is no longer a threat.
However, Yang Fan was not so optimistic: "As long as the situation is not settled, there will always be variables."
Anjafina was immediately startled, then suddenly realized: "You mean, that demigod powerhouse from the Shadow Temple might project his own power here?"
Yang Fan nodded slowly: "The Shadow Palace has mobilized forty-three Venerables this time, determined to win. If they are completely defeated in this battle, it will inevitably shake their foundation. That demigod powerhouse cannot possibly be unprepared."
Anjafina's expression gradually turned serious: "What you said makes perfect sense!"
She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then murmured, "Perhaps a little bit of that demigod's power has already been quietly projected over."
She then provided evidence: "The power of prophecy I control is always keen, but during the fierce battle just now, I did not detect any abnormal fluctuations in the law."
"It is highly likely that the demigod used his own powerful laws to completely suppress my prophetic power and cover up his tracks."
Yang Fan's expression turned serious: "It seems that's how it is."
Lin Yuejia listened quietly to their conversation, subconsciously pursing her lips.
She never imagined that the true enemy of the Mika civilization would be such a terrifying demigod.
For the next period of time.
None of the three spoke again, and only the rumbling sound of the Ring of Time spinning filled the world.
Lin Yuejia stared at the six Venerables and gradually noticed something strange: in the endless switching of forms, the aura of the six Venerables was getting weaker and weaker.
She was filled with doubts, yet dared not disturb them easily.
Anjafina noticed the student's subtle movements and took the initiative to answer her question: "Your Majesty has created an amazing 'spacetime paradox mechanism' within the Ring of Time."
"These six Venerable Ones may seem to be only suffering from the pain of changing their physical forms, but in reality they are constantly fighting against their past selves."
"Moreover, this battle never stops, it never ends, and their strength and soul are being worn away little by little in this endless infighting."
Lin Yuejia was stunned.
Fighting against your past self?
That's insane! (End of Chapter)
