CHAPTER 1095: CHAPTER 538: SEIZING BY FORCE (PART 2)

In the presence of an entity capable of wielding the battle power of the Divine Under Eighth Rank, even if they combined forces, it would be impossible for them to match or confront such a being. The reason the other side does not indulge in wanton slaughter is merely because they do not wish to make too many enemies.

After all.

They all come from various worlds, each with their own background.

But if they were to remain now, attempting to vie for the Time Dust against Jin Gu, then it would be reasonable for Jin Gu to obliterate them. Ultimately, for the sake of their own lives, they could only abandon this opportunity.

And just as many living beings were coerced by Jin Gu’s threat and retreated, Qing Shi, who came along with Jin Gu, cast his gaze towards the center of the area where time flowed, looking at the vortex that was vibrant in multicolor hues.

He thus stepped forward.

At this moment.

The seven or eight retreating beings shifted their gaze from Jin Gu to Qing Shi in unison.

Void, Time, Creation.

These three Origin Great Daos do not rank above or below one another, but regarding the difficulty of comprehension, there are some distinctions. Among them, the Creation Dao is the easiest to comprehend, Void comes next, and Time is the hardest!

Throughout the Endless Void, at least seventy to eighty percent of beings follow the Creation Dao, with at most twenty to thirty percent following the Void Dao.

As for the Time Dao...

The number is likely less than one-tenth of those in Void!

It’s difficult to comprehend, hard to master, and the power it exhibits is not necessarily much stronger than Void or Creation, though once cultivated deeply, the methods become extremely varied, making it the most troublesome type. But if the Creation Dao is cultivated to a certain extent, with great power in possession, the mastery of its power is equally profound and unpredictable.

It is precisely because the Time Dao is the hardest to comprehend, therefore the beings who master the Power of Time are the fewest. Jin Gu and Qing Shi are renowned because they have respectively cultivated the embryonic form of the Void Dao and Time Dao!

At this moment.

Qing Shi attempts to forcibly seize the Time Dust and use the power of the Time Dao; naturally, they all wish to take a peek at the methods of the Time Dao. Even if they don’t delve into the Time Dao, just understanding a bit of it can give them more strategies if they encounter opponents of the Time Dao in the future.

As for the beings from various realms who have retreated to a distance and given up the struggle for Time Dust, Jin Gu did not pay them much attention. He just stood there with hands bound, guarding the place while watching Qing Shi’s actions.

Buzz!!!

At this moment, Qing Shi stepped toward the center of this alien place. With each step he took, his whole being seemed to be transforming. His movements appeared extremely uncoordinated in the eyes of others, subjected repeatedly as if the fast-forward button was pressed, accelerating the closer he got to the center.

This time-distorted flow was terrifying and not something an ordinary person could endure. Ordinary beings placed within would find their bodies crushed into pieces, distorted by the power of time, not even an Immortal Body could withstand it.

Nor could Qing Shi.

But at this moment, he remained composed. Along with his forward steps, he became encircled with a radiant halo of multicolored light.

Power of Time!

He finally exhibited the methods of the Time Dao, wrapping himself with the Power of Time to adjust his own temporal veins, gradually merging with this abnormal velocity region.

"Unfortunately, I can only align myself with this time current now. If I could enter Dao with the Time Great Dao and gain its acknowledgment, I could suppress the time rhythm here without moving myself."

Qing Shi stepped gradually toward the center where time flow was distorted, appearing rather composed, seemingly unaffected by it. Yet, he inwardly sighed.

Entering Dao, too difficult, too difficult.

Not to mention those not having entered the God Realm; even for those truly in the God Realm, comprehending the Origin Dao to enter Dao is not an easy task.

Finally.

After a few more steps, he reached the center of this time-distorted region, where his form became very blurry in the eyes of other beings, though he himself saw clearly.

There, in the emptiness, only a small cluster of crystal-clear, seven-colored sand grains floated in the center.

"Hmm, quite a lot indeed."

Qing Shi looked at the floating seven-colored sand with a satisfied expression.

This Time Dust is rare even in the Source Land, hardly found even in core areas. To find some outside the core area, and in substantial amounts, was indeed a stroke of luck.

But.

Just as Qing Shi was about to gather the Time Dust, a sudden change occurred.

From the distant white mist, the fog stirred, and a figure clad in a blue robe strode forward leisurely. With one step, he arrived there, taking a mere glance to see the anomalous area and the Time Dust within.

The newcomer was none other than Chen Mu!

"A wondrous object of the Time Dao?"

Chen Mu only needed a look to determine it was a wondrous object of the Time Dao. Although he didn’t know exactly what it was, with his comprehension of the Time Great Dao, he could infer its general effects upon a quick observation.

These seemingly fine sand-like temporal wondrous objects likely could distort the flow of time within a certain range!

An excellent item!

Chen Mu’s spirits were instantly lifted.

What was he currently lacking the most? Undoubtedly, it was time!

Previously, he had been considering that this journey to the Source Land was not only to achieve the first objective of imprinting the Life Mark onto the core of the Source Land but also to find wondrous objects or Divine Weapons of the Creation Dao to quickly comprehend the Creation Great Dao.

But now he suddenly realized there were other ways to achieve the goal.

This wondrous object of the Time Dao could do just that!

It could distort the time flow within a certain range, even if the range wasn’t large, as long as it could accelerate by several folds, it would secure him enough time!

After all, with the system panel, he only needed twenty or thirty years to accumulate the Experience needed to enter the Creation Dao.

Without further ado.

Chen Mu took a step into that region.

"This object, I want it!"

His voice echoed like thunder, accompanied by an oppressive aura spreading throughout the field.

Even though two beings had occupied the area, one seemingly possessing the power of the Time Dao’s embryonic form, they posed no threat to him. As he stepped forward, he extended a massive hand, pressing it downward.

Boom!!

As Chen Mu took action, the void trembled instantaneously. The surging and boiling Void Force was unleashed, stirred by him to form a visibly large Void Great Handprint, pressing downwards.

"Void Force?!"

Those beings who had retreated at a distance were all taken aback by this scene.

Void Great Dao!

Again the Void Great Dao!

Previously, Jin Gu had demonstrated the power of the Void Great Dao to force them away, and now another being wielded the power of the Void Great Dao to seize the Time Dust!

Moreover,

compared to the Void Force Jin Gu showed earlier, the power Chen Mu exhibited was undoubtedly more immense, more overwhelming, filled with intense oppression!

For a moment, a hint of shock appeared in the eyes of these beings.

Who is this again?!

Beings above the God Realm cannot enter the Source Land, so Chen Mu is undoubtedly a Divine Under being. Yet a Divine Under being able to cultivate the Void Great Dao to such a level should not be an unknown figure in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain!

Compared to the shocked all-realm beings, Jin Gu from the Heavenly Artifact Realm, sensing the might of Chen Mu’s Void Great Handprint, also had a change in his gaze.

As the proverb goes, experts reveal themselves with a single move.

He was also a practitioner of the Void Dao, and just from Chen Mu’s move, he could discern that Chen Mu’s understanding of the Void Great Dao surpassed his, and the Void Force wielded by Chen Mu was stronger!

But even so, he was unafraid, or rather, there were no beings in the Source Land that could make him fearful. Even against a Divine Under Ninth Rank, he and Qing Shi could ensure a full retreat if they couldn’t win.

Moreover.

Beings entering the Source Land mostly focus on seizing resources, rarely engaging in deadly battles without grievances.

Though he didn’t know which realm’s elite Chen Mu hailed from, with such strength and means, Chen Mu indeed qualified to compete for the Time Dust. But Jin Gu wanted to let the opponent know, taking treasures from them wouldn’t be easy!

Pa!

Jin Gu clapped his two golden giant palms together in front, and consequently, a brilliant golden three-foot-long pair of scissors appeared in his hand. He swung it, snipping upwards.

In an instant, Chen Mu’s pressing Void Great Handprint was split, as if the void itself was being cut open!

Void Dao Divine Weapon!

"This Time Dust has already fallen into our hands. You arrived late; it is wise not to waste time in conflict."

Jin Gu gazed at Chen Mu, holding the Void Dao Divine Weapon, and spoke gravely.
