The Prodigies War

Chapter 1465: Time Stopping

Chapter 1465: Time Stopping

As the golden cicada youth stared at Lin Xun, the depths of his clear and pure eyes projected a beam of infinite mysterious light, seemingly able to see through everything.

But after just a few breaths, he retracted his gaze, and his eyes glazed over.

He could tell that Lin Xuns cultivation had gained immeasurable benefits in the process of climbing the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps.

He could also see that, although Lin Xun was completely drained of his strength, he had awakened the innate divine power of his bloodline through the arduous ascent.

But

It was impossible to pry into the aura of the innate divine power!

This could only indicate that the innate divine power awakened by Lin Xun was extraordinary!

This was why the golden cicada youth was in a trance-like state.

Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer The fierce guy called Star Annihilation back then also possessed the innate divine power of the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer Art. With one strike, he could annihilate stars, destroy the moon, and end all life. He was unparalleled...

The golden cicada youth looked pensive as he recalled the past. Its just that the innate power that the boy has awakened seems completely different from Star Annihilations...

Interesting, it is the same bloodline, but a different innate divine power has awoken. Such bloodline power is very rare.

Buzz

While the golden cicada youth was in deep thought, a wave of peculiar and lively energy surged up from Lin Xun who was still sitting cross-legged on the ground.

His originally blank mind seemed to be suddenly tumbling and rolling endlessly in a vast mighty river like it was wandering.

His mind drifted with the waves.

He saw many incredible scenes.

Time flew, the seasons changed, the passage of days, the phases of the moon, the rise and fall of empires...

Living beings went through the stages of birth, old age, illness and death. Heaven and earth survived the vicissitudes of life. The mountains and rivers experienced the cycle of destruction and rebirth of all things...

In a twinkling, spring and autumn had passed.

In the blink of an eye, years flashed by.

It was like going on a bizarre journey through history.

Boom!

Suddenly, everything exploded and shattered. A tremendous abyss took off a corner of the mighty river, creating an indescribable scene of destruction.

At that moment, Lin Xuns body reacted instinctively, and a stream of the Heavenly Destiny Force that was sealed in his mind-sea gushed out and poured into the area of his Heart Meridian.

The Heavenly Destiny Force was one of the rewards he obtained after passing the trials of the Omega Secret-Realm. It had the magical effect of stimulating ones innate talent and awakening origin power.

Lin Xuns Origin Aeth Artery engulfed the stream of force.

Then, in his mind, he saw an earthshaking scene.

In that vast river, the grand abyss swallowed up the aura of time.

Time was the passing of days and years, the supreme order of the heavens, and a power that would make even the powerful Emperor cultivators feel helpless.

Yet the aura of time was trapped in the abyss!

Lin Xun felt a sudden, sharp pain in his mind. Then, everything he saw and felt turned to fragments and disappeared like glass shattering.

Boom!

Then, his mind returned to his body; he trembled violently. The acupoints, membranes, meridians, mind-sea, organs...every part of him was flooded by a rush of strange surging power.

In the Heart Meridian, a section of the Origin Aeth Artery had undergone a transformation, becoming as bright and illusory as a ray of light. An unusual dao rune floated around its shadow.

The dao rune was incredibly uniqueflawlessly white and resembling somewhat of a shaft of a feather, and emitting wisps of mysterious and obscure aura. Faintly, there seemed to be traces of time flowing within the dao rune, flickering endlessly.

Time Stopping!

A flash of realization struck Lin Xun.

That was the innate divine power that he had awakened. As the name suggested, it was a power that stopped the flow of time.

However, he couldnt calm himself.

The power of Time Stopping was too incredible, too shocking, and too unbelievable.

Stopping time temporarily!

This was the greatest ability of the innate divine power of Time Stopping.

Only at the Saint Stage could one grasp the secrets of space and possess the means to teleport.

But even at the Emperor Stage, one could not touch upon or stand up to the laws of time!

Regardless of whether it was an Emperor or a tiny ant, everyone was destined to be eroded by the power of time and erased from the world.

The biggest challenge that an Emperor had to face in the pursuit of immortality was the passage of time!

Astonishingly, the divine power of Time Stopping could actually freeze the passage of time for a temporary moment. This power was terrifying, so terrifying that Lin Xun had trouble believing it was true.

It wasnt until a long while later that he gradually calmed down and investigated his newly gained power carefully.

The unusual, magnificently white dao rune, which was as illusory as a feather, was incredibly obscure and mysterious. But when Lin Xun tried to study it with his divine sense, he only felt that he had been thrown into a vast, boundless, and unfathomable abyss.

Other than that, he learned nothing else.

He blinked blankly and laughed to himself. Thats my own innate power, but even I cant check out the mystery of it. This...is beyond strange.

But after thinking about it, Lin Xun felt relieved.

The divine power of Time Stopping involved the laws of time, which even Emperor Stage cultivators could not touch upon. He had yet to become a Saint and still had quite a distance before reaching the Emperor Stage, so how could he pry into the secrets of the laws of time?

He could only say that the divine power of Time Stopping was an innate ability, a power that could be grasped and controlled.

But the essence and secrets of it were not something that the present Lin Xun could touch upon or control.

Even so, he felt a burning feeling in his heart. After years of cultivation, how would he not understand the remarkable power of Time Stopping?

Although it only had a temporary effect, that temporary moment was enough to change many things!

The most obvious one was that, in a battle, victory or defeat, life or death could be decided in a split second!

Soon, Lin Xun opened his eyes.

Youre awake, said the golden cicada youth, who was beside him.

Lin Xun tried to stand up but he found that he was so fatigued that he could not even lift a finger.

In the end, he could only respond with a wry smile.

The golden cicada youth understood his situation right away and patted him on the shoulder.

Immediately, a current of warm and pure power poured into Lin Xun like a powerful river. In just a few breaths, not only did Lin Xun recover from exhaustion, but his cultivation was also restored to as before.

His power took Lin Xun aback. He had long known that the golden cicada youth was an unfathomable being, but he never imagined his abilities would be so incredible!

The golden cicada youth smiled. Did you know why I did not give you a hand when we were climbing the stone steps?

Lin Xun stood up, saying, I know now, its for tempering.

The golden cicada youth laughed heartily. Thats correct, thats correct. This is part of the exploration of the dao. When one is walking on their own, one should avoid letting others help them. It is more damaging rather than helpful.

Standing in front of the entrance to Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace was like standing thousands of feet high in the sky. In front were the endless descending stone steps and wide open views of the horizon.

Behind was the opened door into the palace and light pouring out from it, which made it even more holy and mysterious.

Lets go, judging by how much time has passed, the battle for the great opportunity will soon come to an end.

The golden cicada youth turned around and entered through the door of the palace. From the beginning to the end, he never asked Lin Xun about his innate power.

Lin Xun blankly watched him for a moment, and then he also walked in without saying anything.

Lin Xun expected the palace to be a magical place, full of mysteries and wonders, and sights that would amaze and awe any cultivator.

To his surprise, the palace was completely empty and contained only a table and a praying mat.

The table was a vintage color and made from the most common rosewood, and the praying mat was also woven from the most common cattail leaves.

Those two pieces of furniture could be found in any ordinary persons home.

But it was displayed in the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace. The seemingly ordinary items now seemed extremely extraordinary.

If a Saint cultivated and realized the dao on an ordinary boulder, letting it become saturated with the Saints aura over the years, it would also become different. If future generations investigated the boulder, they may even catch a glimpse of some mysteries of the Saint Path from the boulder.

The Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperors mother prepared the table and mat for him when he was young. They had been with him throughout his youth. Even after he ascended the dao, he still kept them with him and regarded them as his most important possessions. Even when he passed away, he could not bear to see those two items be destroyed with him...

The golden cicada youth explained emotionally, No matter how ordinary the table and mat were originally, they were no longer ordinary after accompanying a great Emperor throughout his search for the dao.

Lin Xuns countenance changed, trembling inwardly.

The table and mat might not be any earth-shaking treasures, but they were imbued with the experience of a great Emperor. Not many treasures in the world could compare to them.

Youd better not try to investigate those two items. The golden cicada youth warned, No one can withstand the power contained in them, unless you have reached the Emperor Stage.

Lin Xun felt a chill run down him, and then he asked curiously, Then, whats the origin of that bowl?

A coarse ceramic bowl sat by itself on the table. It was dark and looked very ordinary.

Come with me.

The golden cicada youth walked up to the table, lowered his head, and looked into the ceramic bowl. Take a look, the experts competing for the great opportunity are all inside.

What?

Lin Xun frowned and darted forward. When he looked down, he saw that the ceramic bowl was filled with the qi of chaos. Faintly, it seemed to contain a vast, boundless world.

The ceramic bowl was only the size of a palm, yet the bottom was able to hold an entire world?

Lin Xun was dumbfounded.

The world exists in every flower, and bodhi lives in every leaf. Even a grain of sand can contain a universe. The golden cicada youth said aloud, Thats the power of the Emperor Stage.

Something from nothing? Lin Xun blurted out.

The golden cicada youth stared at him, stunned. Do you also understand this realm?

Lin Xun shook his head. Just had a glimpse of it before.

The golden cicada youth sighed in admiration and then he looked away, but in truth, he couldnt calm his heart.

The realm of creating something out of nothing was a realm that many Emperors had yet pry into, but a young man who had yet to reach the Saint Stage already grasped it.

This almost turned everything the golden cicada youth knew upside down!

This is not creating something out of nothing, but just a means of squeezing Mount Xumi into a mustard seed. It is an extreme use of the laws of space.

As the golden cicada youth spoke, he looked back at the dark ceramic bowl.
