Chapter 210: Is the Power of Time Invincible? You’re Right, But I Can Too
Born with natural affinity for the Extreme Celestial Universe’s power, Tian Yun had been revered as the Feather Tribe’s holy maiden. She never failed to meet her people’s expectations.
Her cheat-like ability to summon her future self allowed her cultivation progress and combat power to surpass all peers. The power of time applications even made her feel truly invincible – this became the foundation of her arrogance.
Yet now, Mu Lin had shattered her reliance. Staring at her immobilized future self that couldn’t descend, confusion filled her face.
"Why? The power of time should be undefeatable!"
Tian Yun remained perplexed while her opponents Chu Hongxuan and others shared similar bewilderment. Though resenting her arrogance, they acknowledged her strength and the terrifying might of time power. Like Tian Yun, they’d believed time power couldn’t be rivaled – making Mu Lin’s interference even more shocking.
Mu Lin sensed their amazement but maintained calm.
"Time power is strong indeed. But you’re not time’s master. Others can manipulate it too."
"Coincidentally, I’ve studied time power as well."
This wasn’t deception. While Tian Yun summoned her future self, Mu Lin could invoke ancestral projections through Communicating with Spirits – an ability undoubtedly touching temporal forces.
However, Communicating with Spirits alone couldn’t affect Tian Yun’s future self. Fortunately, Mu Lin also mastered the Root Word – "Binding". As world’s foundation, this character held infinite versatile power combinable with various abilities.
His profound understanding of physiology allowed Binding to immobilize bodies. Similarly, his soul expertise enabled binding spirits. Though only grasping time’s basics, Tian Yun’s temporal knowledge was equally shallow. Her fragile future connection collapsed when Mu Lin applied force.
Well, not exactly effortless. To make Binding affect time, Mu Lin first activated Trait of Transcendence and cast Sky-High Technique Spell: Zi Wei Emperor Star power, elevating his rank to freeze Tian Yun’s temporal channel.
When Mu Lin mentioned studying time power, the battlefield fell silent instantly. Yuance, Chu Hongxuan, and even Tian Yun stared in awe, gazing at him like he’d transcended mortality. Spectators outside similarly hushed.
No wonder – time power’s profundity and might were undeniable. Tian Yun’s future self demonstrated terrifying strength, while Mu Lin’s Communicating with Spirits · Ancestral Souls proved equally formidable. At peak mastery, he could even summon ancient emperors or Taoist True Lords using his blood.
Profound. Mighty. These labels accompanied time power. But people also agreed on another trait – its elusive attainability.
Even comprehending the power of time wasn’t something achievable through mere effort—it required rare, almost fated opportunities. Tian Yun had gained this power through the existence of a sacred site coveted by the military, powerful clans, and elites. As for Mu Lin, his path to obtaining time’s power was utterly unique: he’d created the concept of the City God, earning the Will of Humanity’s favor to touch this force.
The sudden appearance of such a rare and formidable power in Mu Lin left everyone awestruck. After the initial shock, factions across the board—ordinary elites, the military, the Demon Exorcism Division, even foreign races—agreed on one thing: they needed to redouble their efforts to recruit him. They believed a time-power wielder like Mu Lin deserved heavy investment.
This decision… proved wise. Beyond time’s combat enhancements, one aspect alone drove clan elders to frenzy: Mu Lin’s Root Word "Fixing," combined with his temporal insights, might eventually let him halt aging. Though he couldn’t fully stop time’s flow, and those "fixed" would stagnate in strength, it still offered a form of immortality.
Yet current observers didn’t grasp Mu Lin’s capabilities, nor did he bother explaining. Glaring at the stunned Yuhu Academy students, he snapped, "Why the hesitation? The fight’s not done!"
"…Right! The battle!"
"Charge!"
"Boom…"
At his urging, they attacked Tian Yun again—though their focus kept drifting to Mu Lin. The shock he’d delivered lingered.
Tian Yun fared worse. Losing access to her future self plunged her into panic. When Mu Lin’s Fixing struck her soul, doom followed. Her magical cultivation and realm, borrowed from her future self, left her actual soul fragile. Recent mental wounds (her shattered invincibility complex) worsened this.
Meanwhile, Mu Lin’s soul—boosted by the Trait of Transcendence and Sky-High Technique Spell—reached Earth Fiends level. The gap proved insurmountable. With her soul frozen, enraged Chu Hongxuan needed no help reducing Tian Yun to paste via countless whipping branches.
As the enemy fell, Mu Lin relaxed, dropping his Sky-High Technique state—only for new chaos to erupt.
"Wail!"
A piercing shriek silenced Cloud City… then madness erupted. Every blood monster stampeded toward the city center in thunderous frenzy.
"Boom…"
Mu Lin blinked at the chaos before realizing: "That scream… someone’s attacking the Bloody Moon mutation’s core? Bold!"
Yan Zhanpeng chuckled grimly. "That’s Miss Blood Cherry—reckless, ruthless, decisive. No accident she bonded the magical blade Blood Cherry." Turning to Mu Lin, he asked, "She’s striking the mutation’s heart. Your move?"
"Help, naturally," Mu Lin said. "This exam’s dragged on. End it by killing the final boss."
Chu Hongxuan warned, "Whatever created this Bloody Moon… it might kill us all."
"Doesn’t matter," Mu Lin shrugged. "Monster dies or we do—either way, it ends."
He’d lost interest in prolonging things. His performance already secured Demon Exorcism Division or military patronage. Time to exit.
Besides, experiments beckoned: merging sealing arts to fix "Fixing" on his forehead for state resets, or making his limit-breaking state permanent. But first, he needed to leave the Tower of Illusions.
