Chapter 1609 - Time Is Like a Saber
Translator: Legge
“Eh? Something’s not right!”
atriarch Jin Yan looked at the Dragon Phoenix True Body on the battlefield and suddenly said.
“This state…”
atriarch Wu Tian frowned slightly in deep thought. After pondering for a moment, he exclaimed, “Enlightenment! Desolate Martial is in the midst of an enlightenment!”
The voice caused an uproar!
obody expected the Dragon Phoenix True Body to enter a state of enlightenment in such an intense battle!
A state of enlightenment was extremely rare and could only be chanced upon. Under such circumstances, a cultivator’s senses would become extremely sharp and they would be able to comprehend many deeper
levels!
However, that state would vanish the moment it was destroyed.
ight now, the life of the Dragon Phoenix True Body was hanging by a thread. No matter how rare a state of enlightenment was, he should give up and turn to flee right away!
atriarch Li Ying sneered, “He truly doesn’t know what’s good for him! Is he still hoping to comprehend some divine power to reverse the situation?”
ight then, under many gazes, the confusion in the Dragon Phoenix True Body’s eyes dissipated and clarity returned.
The Dragon Phoenix True Body extended both hands and a gray fog surged between his palms without dissipating.
As the hands of the Dragon Phoenix True Body opened up, the gray fog gradually elongated and formed a gray saber!
For some reason, the Patriarchs present felt shudders and their expressions changed slightly when they saw the gray saber.
Nobody knew what that gray saber was.
However, all the Mahayana Patriarchs wanted to distance themselves from the gray saber!
An extremely terrifying divine power burst forth from the Dragon Phoenix True Body like a storm and washed through his organs and eight meridians, baptizing his body, blood qi and Essence Spirit!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The power of the Great Seal Technique within the Dragon Phoenix True Body dissipated instantly against the baptism of the Divine Power Storm!
It was as though shackles had shattered and the Dragon Phoenix True Body had broken free from the seal completely!
“That’s a… greater divine power!”
Patriarch Wu Tian’s pupils constricted and his voice trembled.
The power of that greater divine power made Patriarch Wu Tian and the others shudder!
“What divine power is that?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen a greater divine power with a gray saber before.”
The Mahayana Patriarchs present conversed rapidly.
“I don’t care what greater divine power that is!”
Patriarch Divine Frost channeled his Essence Spirit to its limits and hollered menacingly, “Under the shroud of darkness, everything shall be destroyed!”
The gigantic dark vortex enveloped the Dragon Phoenix True Body.
“Time is like a saber,”
The Dragon Phoenix True Body had an indifferent expression as he chanted softly. The gray saber in his hands flew out and slashed towards the dark vortex before him.
The gray saber descended and ignored the power of the dark vortex, penetrating it intact!
Be it darkness or light, none of them could withstand the passage of time.
Patriarch Divine Frost’s expression changed and he wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
The gray saber struck him!
“This is bad, this is where I die!”
Patriarch Divine Frost lamented internally.
However, before long, he realized that he was not injured at all!
He felt nothing when the gray saber struck him. His body did not sway and he was not injured at all!
“I’m fine?”
Suddenly, Patriarch Divine Frost burst into laughter with an emotional expression. “Hahahaha! I’m fine!”
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Perhaps because he was laughing too hurriedly, Patriarch Divine Frost even coughed twice. He looked at the Dragon Phoenix True Body with a mocking expression and jeered, “I thought that it was some incredible
greater divine power. To think that it would be a joke. Hahahaha!”
The Dragon Phoenix True Body did not smile and merely looked at Patriarch Divine Frost quietly.
None of the living beings of the ten thousand races smiled either.
Unknowingly, the crowd around them had turned extremely quiet.
Patriarch Divine Frost’s laughter seemed extremely strange in this quiet environment.
After laughing for a while, Patriarch Divine Frost realized that something was amiss and looked around instinctively.
All the living beings of the ten thousand races were looking at him with complicated gazes; there was fear, shock, mockery and pity…
“What are you guys looking at?!”
He hollered and panted slightly.
For some reason, he felt short of breath even though he merely laughed for a while.
“Divine Frost, your face…”
ight then, Patriarch Divine Duel pointed at Patriarch Divine Frost’s face with an inexplicable hint of fear in his voice!
ndeed, there were no injuries on Patriarch Divine Frost’s body when the gray saber descended.
However, his initially gray hair had already turned white.
nitially, there were only some wrinkles on his face. But now, they had multiplied, like scars left behind by time!
nan instant, Patriarch Divine Frost turned into an old man in his twilight years!
His blood qi had already deteriorated and was lethargic.
His lifeforce became extremely weak as well.
Even that short burst of laughter caused him to feel out of breath.
n fact, his Essence Spirit was not enough to support the Great Dark Technique. Before the greater divine power arrived before the Dragon Phoenix True Body, it collapsed on its own!
“How could this be?”
“How could this be?!”
Patriarch Divine Frost glared and roared hysterically when he sensed the little lifespan left in his body.
He had 50,000 years of lifespan left when he arrived at Enigma Palace.
After being reduced by Barren and severely injured by the Reverse Scale, he had more than 30,000 years to live!
But now, he only had a few thousand years left to live!
Although a few thousand years of lifespan seemed long, for a Mahayana Patriarch with a lifespan of 100,000 years, he was already in his twilight years!
An entire 30,000 years of lifespan vanished into thin air at that instant!
To be precise, it was not into thin air.
It was taken away by the gray saber!
30,000 years of lifespan was cut away by that slash!
Even Patriarchs of the primordial races would not be able to withstand the impact of such a greater divine power, let alone Patriarchs of the human race!
Suddenly, Patriarch Divine Frost recalled what the Dragon Phoenix True Body said when he released the divine power.
Time was like a saber!
This was the power of time!
Time was the cruelest and no one could defend against it!
Most of the living beings of the ten thousand races merely wanted to live forever alongside the universe. However, throughout history, who could escape the sands of time?
“H-How do you possess such power?!”
Patriarch Divine Frost’s voice was trembling uncontrollably, hoarse and filled with fear!
Immediately after, his eyes widened and his pupils constricted!
Gray fog surged between the hands of the Dragon Phoenix True Body and another gray saber appeared, identical to the one earlier on!
“Time is like a saber,”
The Dragon Phoenix True Body flung the gray saber in his hands towards Patriarch Divine Frost and murmured, “Every single strike causes one to age!”
The gray saber crossed the void and descended on Patriarch Divine Frost instantly, entering and vanishing.
That single slash was another 30,000 years!
Patriarch Divine Frost’s lifespan of less than 10,000 years was depleted instantly!
Every single strike causes one to age!
That was the final voice Patriarch Divine Frost heard.
The next moment, Patriarch Divine Frost’s withered and dead corpse fell from midair right in front of many living beings.
It fell, withered like a dried leaf..
