Chapter 1412 The Power of the Time Law
Lu Chen dared not be careless. He instantly activated the Chaos Dao Life Technique within his body to its maximum, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and took the blow head-on.
With a loud "bang," a tremendous impact force erupted from the point of contact, causing the surrounding air to vibrate and hum.
Lu Chen was thrown backward by the force, and he barely managed to regain his balance by dragging two deep furrows in the ground with his feet.
"Hmph, you're just a kid in the Shaping Dao Realm. Now that I've discovered you, do you think you can escape so easily?" The old man in the Nurturing Dao Realm sneered as he approached step by step, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, not taking Lu Chen seriously at all.
Lu Chen steadied himself and looked calmly at the old man in front of him.
After the exchange just now, he had gained a preliminary understanding of the strength of cultivators in the Dao Cultivation Realm.
Immediately afterwards, the old man made another move, still without using any magic weapon, but instead threw a punch. In his eyes, Lu Chen was nothing more than an ant, and killing him would be a piece of cake.
However, unexpectedly, Lu Chen remained calm and composed in the face of the full-force attack from the Holy Emperor of the Dao.
He slightly turned his body, easily dodging the punch, and with lightning speed, slapped the chest of the Holy Emperor of the Dao with his palm.
The old man suddenly felt an overwhelming force surge towards him. Before he could react, he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
At this moment, the old man raised his head in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief, "You... how could your divine energy be so terrifying!"
He struggled to stand up, but the churning energy within his body and the severe damage to his meridians and bones made it difficult for him to maintain his balance.
Lu Chen stood still, looking calmly at the old man, and said, "Old man, I didn't want to get involved in your mess, but since you insisted on attacking me, don't blame me for being impolite." After saying that, he didn't give the old man any chance to refute.
At this moment, the fear in the old man's eyes had reached its peak. His body trembled slightly, and his face became extremely ugly. He realized that the young man in front of him was someone he could not afford to provoke.
Then, with a hint of pleading in his voice, he said, "Young friend, please stop! It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
I was blind and ignorant; please, have mercy and spare my life. If you're willing to let me go, I'm willing to offer you my storage ring.
However, Lu Chen was not moved by the old man's words. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he gently raised his hand, the power of the law of time quietly spreading out.
The old man suddenly felt an irresistible force enveloping his entire body, as if the torrent of time was raging within him.
In an instant, time seemed to accelerate infinitely, and then the old man's body aged rapidly at a visible speed.
His already aging skin became dry and wrinkled; his hair and beard turned white in an instant and eventually fell out; his muscles and bones also gradually lost their vitality until they turned into a pile of white bones.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, and it was terrifying.
Witnessing all this, Lu Chen was also shocked. "This law of time is indeed terrifying. I wonder if it will still have the same effect on a Dao Transformation Saint Emperor."
With the old man's death, the trapping and killing formation he set up lost the support of divine energy, and its power was greatly weakened.
The cultivators trapped inside at the Dao Cultivation Realm immediately noticed this change. They exchanged glances and then joined forces to launch an attack on the weakest point of the formation.
With a deafening roar, the great formation was finally broken, and everyone was freed.
Meanwhile, Lu Chen calmly put away the old man's storage ring, knowing that it must contain many good things.
Without hesitation, he immediately disappeared from the cave, not wanting to have any further dealings with these people.
Several cultivators at the Dao Cultivation Realm were the first to teleport into the cave. They looked around and found that the old man's body had long since turned into a pile of bones.
One of the cultivators, a middle-aged man named Li Qingyun, had a glint in his eyes. He quickly squatted down to examine the old man's remains and soon discovered something unusual.
"This...this is the power of the Law of Time!" Li Qingyun exclaimed in surprise. "Someone has actually comprehended the Law of Time. Could it be that he survived the time vortex? It's unbelievable."
A woman standing nearby, also a Saint Emperor of the Dao, frowned upon hearing this: "The Law of Time? Within the Southern Barbarian Prefecture, who could wield such profound power of the Law of Time? Could that person be a super genius from one of the Five Great Saint Sects?"
Upon hearing this, another cultivator pondered for a moment before slowly denying it, saying, "Impossible. You and I both know that within the other four great holy sects, there are only a handful of truly outstanding geniuses."
I'm certain this person is not from one of our five great holy sects, otherwise we would have discovered him before even entering the cave.
“That’s right,” Li Qingyun nodded in agreement. “Judging from the situation, that person’s cultivation level should not have broken through to the Nurturing Dao Realm yet. If it weren’t for him, we probably wouldn’t have been able to escape this calamity.”
It's a pity that person was too wary, otherwise I would definitely bring him back to the sect and make him a core member of my Nine Heavens Holy Sword Sect.
At this moment, an old man who had been silent finally spoke up: "It's a pity that he left before we could even say thank you."
The woman who had spoken earlier sighed softly and said, "I have memorized his appearance. If I have the chance, I will definitely repay his kindness today."
“Indeed,” Li Qingyun agreed, “Such a talented cultivator may become a great help to our sect in the future. But the most important thing now is to leave here first. Farewell, everyone.”
Upon hearing this, the several Holy Emperors who knew each other bowed and said goodbye, then each of them slipped away.
Although they missed the chance to thank him in person, everyone secretly remembered Lu Chen's appearance and his extraordinary strength...
Meanwhile, after leaving the cave, Lu Chen stepped into the void, his figure as swift as lightning, moving with the wind.
As he hurried along, he carefully examined the storage ring he had just received from the old man. With a thought, the items inside the ring appeared in his mind.
The first thing that catches the eye is a mountain of divine crystals, with 110,000 low-grade divine crystals. They emit a faint light, like countless stars twinkling.
There are 30,000 mid-grade divine crystals, their brilliance is even brighter, and each one contains powerful energy.
As for the high-grade divine crystals, although there were only six thousand of them, Lu Chen was already quite satisfied with this considerable fortune…
