284: Tides of Time

Xun Xiuyuan decided not to compromise anymore; he would leave all these people behind.

World Power descended with full force, fiercely contending with Ye Qingyun for control of the entire space.

Ye Qingyun's expression also became extremely ugly; he had not gained the upper hand while competing with Xun Xiuyuan for spatial control.

In his shock and anger, Ye Qingyun shouted, "Xiaolin, you all return to the palace first."

Among Ye Chunlin and the dozen or so people, besides him, there were six God King Realm experts, including a Super God King. The others were attendants, with lower cultivation levels.

But to Xun Xiuyuan, there was no difference.

The focus of Xun Xiuyuan's World Power was around Ye Chunlin and the others. At this moment, for them to try and return to the palace was akin to a fool's dream.

Ye Chunlin found that he could no longer move smoothly. Even if he used the Law of Time to pry open a tiny gap, it was instantly crushed.

Ye Chunlin was also a bit anxious, which was very obvious.

The Heavenly God before them was simply not someone a group of God Kings could contend with.

Ye Qingyun's hair stood on end as he exerted his full strength, but he still could not gain control of the battlefield space.

Xun Xiuyuan once again cast One Thought Blooms. With the enhancement of this secret technique, the battlefield controlled by Ye Qingyun became smaller and smaller, merely a few tens of meters around him.

In other words, all other parts of the battlefield were under Xun Xiuyuan's control.

Seeing this, Xun Xiuyuan couldn't help but mock, "True Saint? A True Saint achieved by consuming elixirs, your comprehension of the Law of Space is a mess."

The people of the Eternal Great World were extremely incompatible with the Law of Space, making its comprehension incredibly difficult.

Ye Qingyun finally realized how abnormal this Heavenly God before him was. What if he entered the Yuan Ling Sect?

City Lord Gong Yuwei was watching the battle from afar with Gong Xiaorou at this moment.

Gong Xiaorou exclaimed, "Is this still a Heavenly God?"

City Lord Gong Yuwei was also shocked. He had tried his best to overestimate Xun Xiuyuan, but only now did he realize it was far from enough.

"If he enters the Yuan Ling Sect, he will probably be given a position as a core disciple," City Lord Gong Yuwei said leisurely.

Gong Xiaorou nodded in agreement.

Because Gong Xiaorou's mother was a core disciple of the Yuan Ling Sect, Gong Xiaorou knew quite a bit about the sect's affairs.

After restricting Ye Qingyun's effective movements, Xun Xiuyuan directly attacked the six God Kings with Soul Pierce.

Even the elites of the Eternal Great World were powerless against the Soul Pierce unleashed by Xun Xiuyuan's extremely high mental power.

One pierce, one kill. Previously, it took three consecutive shots, but now it was no longer necessary.

As for the attendants, they died without resistance under the compression of space.

Six God Kings, six Soul Pierces. Five of the six died, leaving only Ye Chunlin.

"Uncle Yun, save me! My soul defense secret treasure is shattered!" Ye Chunlin frantically screamed at Ye Qingyun, but before he could finish, his head tilted, and he fell silent.

Ye Qingyun watched Ye Chunlin die before him, drew a large ruler, and charged towards Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan, after all, could not control the space around Ye Qingyun, so he couldn't block Ye Qingyun's charge.

He retreated while unleashing three consecutive Soul Pierces, and casually collected the six God Kings' corpses.

Ye Qingyun's mental power was similar to Xun Xiuyuan's. For Soul Pierce to kill him, it would be a slow grind.

However, each Soul Pierce intrusion would slow Ye Qingyun's movements and diminish the power of his attacks.

Xun Xiuyuan's advantage was his control over this space; he could fight or flee in an instant.

Although Ye Qingyun's Law of Time greatly troubled Xun Xiuyuan, it couldn't kill him.

But Ye Qingyun clearly felt that his spiritual sense was severely damaged. Xun Xiuyuan's soul attacks were continuous, and he no longer knew how many times he had endured them head-on.

Xun Xiuyuan looked at his exotic beast value. Thankfully, what was left for the fight was still sufficient. He continued to unleash three consecutive Soul Pierces as if they cost nothing.

Until blood flowed from Ye Qingyun's seven orifices, Xun Xiuyuan knew that the opponent was at the end of his rope. He continued to attack with Soul Pierce, fighting while fleeing.

He would kite him to death.

Ye Qingyun looked at Xun Xiuyuan in the distance, knowing that he had no good way to deal with him, and his injuries were already extremely severe.

He reached out and took out a bronze cauldron.

Looking at Xun Xiuyuan, his eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness.

The bronze cauldron emitted a strong light, then shattered.

When Xun Xiuyuan saw the bronze cauldron, he felt danger and immediately called Xiao Xuan to enter the Ling Tian Pagoda.

The moment City Lord Gong Yuwei saw Ye Qingyun take out the bronze cauldron, he pulled Gong Xiaorou away from their vantage point and instantly teleported to a far distance.

Gong Xiaorou asked, bewildered, "Why aren't we watching anymore?"

City Lord Gong Yuwei replied, "If we keep watching, we won't be able to leave."

After a pause, City Lord Gong Yuwei said, "That's a special secret treasure of the Eternal Great World, the Cauldron of Time. When the Cauldron of Time self-destructs, a temporal tide will definitely form there. If one is dragged into it, the probability of coming out is very small, and even if one can come out, who knows when that would be."

The moment the Cauldron of Time exploded, a huge black hole appeared in the void, instantly devouring Ye Qingyun.

Although Xun Xiuyuan was inside the Ling Tian Pagoda, the Ling Tian Pagoda was also rapidly heading towards the black hole, unable to resist.

Xiao Xuan's voice rang out, "I can't withstand that suction force."

Subsequently, the Ling Tian Pagoda, where Xun Xiuyuan resided, was also sucked into the black hole.

City Lord Gong Yuwei arrived at the space where the Cauldron of Time had self-destructed much later. By then, the black hole had disappeared, and both Ye Qingyun and Xun Xiuyuan were gone.

City Lord Gong Yuwei said to Gong Xiaorou, "Go to the Great Barren World and inform them of what happened here. How they choose to act is for them to decide."

Gong Xiaorou asked, "Is it necessary?"

City Lord Gong Yuwei stroked Gong Xiaorou's head and said, "This favor doesn't cost anything, so why not do it? What if that Xun Xiuyuan returns?"

Gong Xiaorou said, puzzled, "Didn't you say the probability of him returning is very small?"

"But the probability of such an abnormal person like Xun Xiuyuan appearing is even smaller, yet he still appeared, didn't he? A Heavenly God fighting a True Saint, and even having the upper hand. Can you imagine that?" City Lord Gong Yuwei said leisurely.

He then continued, "If he really can return, then the Eternal Great World will be in trouble. For such a person, a free favor must definitely be done."

After listening, Gong Xiaorou instantly teleported away from the place, heading towards the Great Barren World.

After Zhuge Lun learned of Gong Xiaorou's message, he saw her off and then convened a meeting.

Xie Cangtian asked, "Did the Realm Lord leave behind a soul lamp or anything similar?"

At this, Zhuge Lun shook his head and said, "I really don't know about that."

Ling Baoer, however, spoke up, "Yes, Junior Brother's soul lamp is in Xiuyuan City."

Zhuge Lun pondered for a moment and then said, "I've decided to hunker down at the passage entrance, and then we will all withdraw from the Extraterritorial Battlefield and guard the Heavenly Abyss."

Azure Dragon King, Ghost Emperor, Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan, Ling Kuang, Xie Cangtian, and Ling Baoer all nodded.

Xie Cangtian said, "I'll make a trip to the Ancestor of the Ling Family and will return as soon as possible. You all proceed according to the plan."

Everyone nodded, then made their respective arrangements.
