Chapter 855
You Can Become the Master of a Realm
Just as Cittara and Eladi had predicted.
As they sensed the heart-pounding power gathering in the night sky, Yang Fan was indeed engaged in a spatial duel with the demigod who possessed the ultimate artifact.
Yang Fan neither won nor lost; the two sides ultimately fought to a draw, with neither side gaining a decisive advantage.
However, upon closer examination, he was actually slightly at a disadvantage.
After all, this demigod was able to use the power of the super artifact to cross vast distances, accurately pinpoint his location, and launch an attack.
This in itself means that the enemy has already won a small part of the battle.
but.
Yang Fan never fights a battle unprepared.
Before deciding to confront this demigod, he had already anticipated various scenarios and prepared many backup plans in advance.
The demigod's all-out attack almost entirely missed its target.
Only a very small fraction of the power penetrated his defenses and reached his body.
Such a negligible amount of power had absolutely no effect on Yang Fan.
on the other hand.
This attack, however, directly established an extremely faint but unbreakable connection between Yang Fan and that demigod.
"Splash!"
A crisp sound, like the sound of time flowing by.
Immediately afterwards, an illusory river appeared out of thin air, its waters shimmering with a faint silvery-gray halo, rushing past him.
Ripples spread across the river's surface, spreading outwards in concentric circles.
Within each ripple, countless fragmented images flashed by.
All the ripples intertwined, merged, and converged, eventually forming an enormous silver pupil in the center of the river.
This pupil is deep and majestic, as if it can pierce through the barriers of time and space and see through everything in the past.
It was Yang Fan who mastered the powerful skill – the Eye of the Past.
This powerful skill is derived from the celestial phenomena he mastered in his early years.
Over the years, as he has continued to explore various secret realms, he has "excavated" more and more ancient god remains, and his understanding of various powerful laws has become more and more profound and thorough.
With this accumulation, he successfully comprehended the most core powerful law of the past from the past celestial phenomena.
Furthermore, by combining his own control over the laws of time and space, he successfully created the killer move, the Eye of the Past.
Even if the other party is a high and mighty demigod, as long as there is this connection, it is enough for him to trace back a lot of information about the other party.
It was precisely because he had mastered multiple powerful laws that Yang Fan had enough confidence to fight against demigods who wielded super artifacts.
If it were an ordinary Venerable One, even the High Priest of the Meijia Civilization who could glimpse the river of time, they would absolutely not be able to do this.
now.
Yang Fan gazed silently at the scene reflected in the ripples, muttering to himself:
"Bichta?"
"Hmph! Another demon!"
"This 'Undying Lantern of the Underworld' truly lives up to its name; it is indeed formidable!"
The "Bichta" in this sentence is the title of a demigod.
And "The Undying Lantern of the Netherworld" is naturally the true name of that super artifact forged by the ancient gods.
Yang Fan clearly saw all of this through the images displayed by the Eye of the Past—he saw the process of Beechtra obtaining the Undying Lantern of the Netherworld, he saw the scene of him manipulating the lantern and polluting countless civilizations, and he also saw the terrifying power of this super artifact.
The most powerful aspect of this divine artifact is its ability to generate Netherworld Corrosive Poison from the laws of the Netherworld.
Over the years, Beechcraft has used the power of its super artifact to corrupt countless civilized worlds and indirectly kill countless lives.
Based on this alone, the title of "super artifact" is well-deserved.
In addition to these, the Undying Lantern of the Underworld also possesses many other powerful functions.
The attack just now was launched by this super artifact.
Yang Fan clearly saw the entire attack process through the images from the Eye of the Past:
The demigod Beechtra stood in the endless night, surrounded by dense dark elemental laws, his hands manipulating the Netherworld Undying Lantern.
Inside the lantern, the eerie blue flame burned fiercely.
Countless laws of the underworld were rapidly extracted and condensed, eventually transforming into tens of thousands of jet-black threads of the underworld.
Previously, Chitara and Eladi were in the desert oasis when they were overwhelmed by the power gathering in the night sky, making it difficult for them to even breathe. This was caused by the aura emanating from these Netherworld threads.
Tens of thousands of Netherworld threads, under Beechtra's control, instantly intertwined and entangled, constructing an enormous black net.
This is the Netherworld Soul-Locking Network.
It is not an ordinary binding skill, but one that directly targets the soul and attacks the very essence of the soul, hence the word "soul lock" in its name.
If this attack had not been directed at Yang Fan, but rather at the Sand Sea Civilization, it would have been enough to kill more than half of the Sand Sea people.
But for Yang Fan, this Netherworld Soul-Locking Net was no big deal.
He took a light step, his figure stepping directly into the "past" time and space.
At the same time, he rapidly gathered the power of laws in his right hand, interacting with the powerful laws of the past and the river of time, quickly drawing power and instantly transforming it into a super long whip.
This is—the whip of the past.
It can directly attack the enemy's past and disrupt the enemy's timeline.
The powerful laws of time have an inherent advantage in rank when facing the dark-attribute laws of night.
The laws of the night can erode life and pollute space, but they cannot shake the flow of time or change the trajectory of the past.
However, past laws can be applied.
Faced with the Whip of the Past, the demigod Beechtra was forced to relinquish control over the Netherworld Soul-Locking Net.
no way.
If he were struck by this whip, his timeline would be disrupted, his past trajectory would be altered, and he might even be dragged directly into the past.
The past was Yang Fan's "home turf"—there, Yang Fan could freely change the trajectory of time and space and call upon the power of the past.
Even if you gave the demigod Beechita twelve times the courage, he wouldn't dare to fight Yang Fan head-on in the past.
After all, more than one or two demigods have died at Yang Fan's hands.
In the final moments.
The Netherworld Soul-Locking Network made a "death struggle".
A flash of light appeared in the center of the giant net, and a pitch-black, ghostly serpent suddenly emerged from within it.
This serpent was enormous, measuring tens of meters in length, and covered in hard scales that emitted a strong, ghostly, corrosive aura.
Relying on the omnipresent laws of the night, the Netherworld Serpent found a defensive loophole, suddenly appeared beside Yang Fan, and viciously bit at the latter's head.
This demonic serpent contains a massive amount of Netherworld Corrosive Poison.
Once bitten by it, his very soul will be severely damaged.
But this move was still within Yang Fan's expectations.
He extended a finger, its tip shrouded in a halo of laws, and directly "inserted" it into the "past".
With a light tap of his fingertip, a wisp of the past's laws, condensed to their extreme, instantly struck the Netherworld Soul-Locking Net of the past.
To be precise, it struck the crucial point where the Netherworld Serpent had just taken shape.
"Om-"
The surrounding spacetime lines were momentarily disturbed, which in turn affected the present.
The Netherworld Serpent's mouth, stretched to its limit, froze in place, and its scarlet eyes lost their luster.
"Snapped!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
The Netherworld Serpent's body instantly disintegrated into a mass of law power, quickly returning to the endless darkness.
Battles at the demigod level almost always involve such long-range duels.
It's extremely rare to see someone wielding a divine weapon in close combat, perhaps only once every hundred years.
Although Yang Fan is only a quasi-demigod, his strength is so extraordinary that he can be classified as a demigod.
After a while.
Yang Fan stood amidst the torrent of time, gazing at the desert world beyond, and murmured softly, "Here it comes!"
He immediately noticed that the sand in the area where he had been standing was now moving strangely.
A moment later.
A pattern resembling an eternal lantern emerged from the surface of the sand.
In the previous exchange, although he repelled the demigod, the opponent also pinpointed his exact location.
of course.
For a powerful being who has mastered the laws of time, this kind of locking is completely useless.
Yang Fan's lips curled slightly, but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes: "You think you can convince me?"
He knew perfectly well that after exchanging blows, the demigod realized he couldn't defeat him, which was why he adopted a negotiating stance.
As long as there is even the slightest hope of winning, the demigod Beechtra will not compromise.
The voice just fell.
A phantom, eternally burning lantern—a wisp of image projected by the divine artifact—emerged from the surface of the sand.
A voice filled with supreme authority emanated from the lantern: "Join us! You can become the master of a realm!"
That's Beechcraft's voice.
To be fair, these are very tempting terms. (End of Chapter)
