Chapter 715: Continuous Strengthening

After more than ten minutes, Yi Chen focused his thoughts and eliminated the negative effects of the skill on the Little Gold Ball.

In his Qi Sea, immortal power surged.

The next second, as the Little Gold Ball jogged, a pure white light suddenly flickered around it, and its speed dropped to only one-third of what it was before.

“That’s good!”

Yi Chen nodded secretly.

He attempted to combine his new skill with divine consciousness, similar to the Teleportation Technique, and he could now instantly cast the new skill on a target.

However, he was still unsatisfied with the power of the new skill.

At its maximum strength, it only reduced the time flow rate for the Little Gold Ball by three times.

And the Little Gold Ball was only level 110, four major realms lower than him.

Yi Chen pushed further, continuing to make adjustments and simulations based on his previous energy circulation pathways.

One hour, two hours, three hours…

Mares and the others could now confirm that Yi Chen had created a power similar to the Time Tribe’s ability to control time.

In just a few hours, he generated a capability that had taken the Time Tribe millions of years to evolve, refined by countless generations of geniuses.

Was this even possible?

It seemed impossible no matter how one looked at it.

Yet, the truth was right in front of them.

No matter how impossible it seemed, Yi Chen had done it.

Moreover, the power of the skill appeared to be continuously increasing.

It was simply outrageous.

Especially Titan Bo, who wanted to kneel and lick the dirt at Yi Chen’s feet, hoping to gain a bit of that unparalleled talent.

One day, two days, three days…

As time went on, the pace of improvement slowed.

Even with the tenfold time flow acceleration from the treasured artifacts, it took Yi Chen six or seven days to refine the new skill to perfection.

To enhance the effect of the new skill further, he could only wait until he broke through to a higher major realm, gaining greater insight and understanding of the laws of time.

Even if he advanced to a higher major realm, the improvement would still be minimal for the moment.

This was because Yi Chen’s current comprehension of the laws of time surpassed that of Titan Bo.

Unless someone could guide him in deeper aspects of the laws of time, it would be difficult for him to make substantial breakthroughs and improvements in this realm.

Control time!

Yi Chen didn’t think too much and directly borrowed the ability from the Time Tribe to name his new skill.

However, his new skill was even stronger than the Time Tribe’s ability to control time.

As for the Time Tribe’s other two innate abilities, the ability to rewind time and reverse space, he decided against spending time researching them, opting instead to integrate them into the concept of controlling time.

Because the time spent was too much, but the value was not very great, the cost-effectiveness was low.

The former allowed one to see what had happened in a certain area.

The latter could cross space and distance to reach a target nearby with whom a contract had been signed.

The former is suitable for investigating things that have already occurred; it seems useful, but at least Yi Chen had not encountered a situation where he needed such a method so far.

If he could view past events while also collecting related Energy Auras, it would be worth spending time to create a similar skill.

That would truly be the ability to rewind time, making the time in a region roll back to the past.

However, with Yi Chen’s current understanding of the laws of time, he was far from reaching such a level, so he could only wait for the future.

As for the latter, with the teleportation array and the Large Battleship, Yi Chen could quickly reach any place he wanted, though it was not as fast as the ability to reverse space and time, making it equally unnecessary.

"Alright, go do what you need to do!"

Yi Chen waved his hand, canceling the laws of time affecting the Little Gold Ball.

The Little Gold Ball’s movement immediately regained full freedom.

"Congratulations, Master, on creating another divine skill!"

Mares and the others prostrated on the ground, filled with heartfelt respect.

It was truly impressive.

After several days of testing and improvement, Yi Chen’s skill to control time could now increase the time flow rate of the Little Gold Ball by ten times or slow it down by ten times.

What did this mean?

It meant that this new skill created by Yi Chen outperformed the Time Tribe’s ability to control time, equating it to a treasured artifact.

However, the strength might not yet match that of a treasured artifact.

But as Yi Chen’s strength realm increased, the power of his skill would also significantly improve, surpassing that of a treasured artifact would only be a matter of time.

Gaining a treasured artifact, he could study and create skills more powerful than a treasured artifact.

Faced with such an existence, they didn’t know how to express their shock and admiration.

"Mares, it’s your turn to test the strength of my new skill!"

Yi Chen signaled.

"Okay!"

Mares hurriedly got up and came to Yi Chen.

"Activate your defensive shield!"

Yi Chen instructed.

His new skill could not directly act on the target by penetrating the energy of the defensive shield.

But his new skill could wrap both the target and the defensive shield together.

Mares immediately set his defensive shield to maximum.

Yi Chen focused his thoughts.

At the moment his divine consciousness locked onto Mares, he cast the control time skill.

In the next moment, a brilliant white light suddenly erupted around Mares.

"How… how can there be a tenfold slowdown in the flow of time…"

Mares looked at Yi Chen, dumbfounded.

His voice sounded as if it was playing in slow motion.

Boses and Titan Bo also widened their eyes, unable to believe Mares’s words.

Yi Chen’s new skill, used on the Little Gold Ball, could achieve a maximum effect of slowing down or speeding up time by ten times, which was already astonishing.

They did not expect that the same effect would apply when used on Mares.

Did this mean that in terms of aiding cultivation and other aspects, Yi Chen’s new skill could have the same effect as a treasured artifact?

Or even stronger?

After all, due to a lack of realms, Yi Chen had to expend all his immortal power to use a treasured artifact.

However, this new skill seemed to consume very little of Yi Chen’s immortal power.

"Try to eliminate the laws of time prisoning you!"

Yi Chen’s expression remained calm; this outcome had long been anticipated.

His understanding of the laws of time stemmed from the treasured artifact, allowing him to perfectly integrate its effects into his new skill.

The difference between the two was mainly in strength.

A treasured artifact could ignore the level of the target, initially achieving a maximum tenfold slowdown or speedup of time flow.

His new skill was the same; it could also ignore the target’s level, initially achieving a maximum tenfold slowdown or speedup of time flow.

Mares immediately complied with Yi Chen’s request, fully mobilizing his energy to dispel the power of the laws of time.

His speed noticeably increased several times.

"Almost! I can achieve about sixty percent of the slowdown in time flow."

Mares quickly provided his response.

Yi Chen nodded slightly; this result was about what he had anticipated.

The main reason was that Mares was four major realms higher than him.

Given Mares’s full effort to dispel the influence of the laws of time, achieving sixty percent was already quite impressive.

Based on this effect, an opponent of the same level would be unable to dispel the influence of the power of the laws at all.

A level 170 opponent could dispel about half of the negative influence.

By this reasoning, switching to the level 220 Boses should yield about fifteen percent.
