"Not good!"

The face of that powerhouse at Divine Realm Perfection suddenly changed, as if he had realized something.

Vast divine power surged.

That mysterious Time Power was forcibly scattered by this divine power.

However.

Under the influence of Time Power, even if it was forcibly dispersed by divine power, the other party’s movements still paused ever so slightly.

At the instant of that pause, the curtain of darkness descended.

The Candle Shadow Body coiled in the void, its eyes closed, black vortices appearing on its eyelids, like bottomless abysses.

Their gazes met.

The face of that powerhouse went blank and dazed.

When his body lost control and flew toward the darkness, the intense premonition of death forced him to wake up.

"Not good!"

A ferocious killing intent erupted, trying to forcibly tear the darkness apart.

Only.

Within the endless darkness, eerie light emerged once more.

Mysterious fluctuations spread out, causing the opponent’s original offensive to be somewhat suppressed.

When powerhouses clash.

Even a single instant can directly decide life and death.

The two consecutive disruptions caused this powerhouse to lose the ability to resist.

In the end.

He was forcibly dragged into the Abyss of Dark.

A moment later.

The darkness dissipated.

The Candle Shadow Body vanished.

A middle-aged man in white robes, refined and amiable, appeared in the void.

"Many thanks for your assistance just now, Direct Disciple Qiu!"

Looking at the person before him, Zhongshan Ling couldn’t help but carefully size him up once again.

As for Shen Changqing.

He actually didn’t have much direct contact with him.

But this one’s reputation had long spread through the Candle Sect and the Zhongshan Clan behind it.

What Zhongshan Ling hadn’t expected was that the Eyes of Time were actually as powerful as the rumors said; even with the other party only at the Fourth Level of the God Realm, using it could still affect a powerhouse at Divine Realm Perfection.

If not for that.

He wouldn’t have had the chance to drag his opponent into the Abyss of Dark and kill him.

Hearing this.

Shen Changqing’s slightly pale face showed a faint smile: "Elder Ling, you’re too polite. You and I are both cultivators of the Candle Sect; supporting each other is only right.

However, I do have a proposal. I wonder what Elder thinks?"

"A proposal?"

Zhongshan Ling’s expression moved slightly.

Shen Changqing said, "Elder Ling’s strength is formidable, but among the same realm, every God Realm expert has their own trump cards. Wanting to kill them isn’t actually easy.

I would like to join forces with Elder Ling to kill enemies: I’ll use the Eyes of Time to control the target first, then Elder can strike and kill, just like you did earlier.

Of the Battle Merit gained, I only need thirty percent."

He voiced the thoughts in his heart.

For someone at the Fourth Level of the God Realm to charge around wildly on the battlefield, the risk factor was far too high.

If another Ninth Layer God Realm showed up, Shen Changqing felt there was a very good chance he’d be done for.

Since that was the case.

It was better to cooperate with the other party.

With a Divine Realm Perfection on top of himself, who wielded the Eyes of Time, killing powerhouses of the same tier basically wouldn’t be a problem.

Things taken to the extreme will reverse.

Time is the most terrifyingly fast-flowing existence in the Heavens; in a single instant, it can make a God Realm lose hundreds or thousands, even tens of thousands of years of lifespan.

Precisely because of that.

Cultivators covered by the Eyes of Time will instead fall into a certain sluggishness in all aspects.

To put it bluntly.

This Divine Skill.

When used against cultivators within its effective range, is a fearsome killing weapon.

But when used against cultivators beyond its effective range, it can serve as a form of restraint.

"Not a bad idea."

Zhongshan Ling’s expression was a bit odd, but inwardly he was slightly moved.

He had to admit.

Shen Changqing’s proposal was indeed somewhat tempting.

As for the Eyes of Time, he only had a bit of understanding from rumors, but a Divine Lord Level Innate Divine Ability like this was anything but ordinary.

Just from the fact that the other could wield this Innate Divine Ability and, with merely Middle Stage God Realm strength, forcibly kill ordinary Post-stage God Realm experts without issue, one could see a glimpse of its power.

Thinking of this.

Zhongshan Ling nodded and smiled gently: "Since Direct Disciple Qiu has such an idea, how could I possibly refuse?"

Slaying one Divine Realm Perfection meant fifty thousand Battle Merit.

As for Battle Merit.

It wasn’t just Disciples who lacked it; even as an Elder himself, it was extremely scarce.

There were many things that could be exchanged with Battle Merit, and quite a few of them were extremely important to cultivators at Divine Realm Perfection.

If he could take this opportunity to harvest a large amount of Battle Merit, that would be a fine outcome.

"Then I must ask Elder Ling to give me some Divine Crystals. The Eyes of Time I just used consumed quite a lot; without replenishment, it will be difficult to use it a second time."

As Shen Changqing spoke, his aura grew weaker again.

Seeing this.

Zhongshan Ling said nothing more; with a wave of his hand, many Divine Crystals appeared before him.

A Divine Lord Level innate talent.

How could it be easy to cast?

If Shen Changqing used it and had no consumption afterward, that would be the strange thing.

His Divine Sense swept out.

All the Divine Crystals were swept into his Sea of Consciousness, to be refined by Divine Fire.

A few breaths later.

The originally dim Divine Fire recovered by quite a bit.

"That’s enough!"

Shen Changqing’s face became rosy.

Divine Crystals really were good things; not only could they improve his strength, they could also restore his consumption in an extremely short time.

Seeing him recover, Zhongshan Ling withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the vast battlefield.

Speaking of it, the White Jade Sect’s Main Sect battlefield didn’t seem that large.

In reality. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The area affected by the Main Sect battlefield was no less than a million li.

The total cultivators of the two sects likewise numbered no fewer than a million.

So many cultivators slaughtering each other—if the battlefield wasn’t big enough, it simply couldn’t contain them.
