933 Stopping Time



"Time standstill!"

It was said that when the Torch Dragon opened its eyes, it would be day, and when it closed its eyes, it would be night. This was actually an exaggerated rumor, but it was true that the Torch Dragon could control time within a certain range.

In fact, precisely because it was closely related to the Rule of Time, the Torch Dragon divine beast was also one of the most powerful and mysterious divine beasts in the legends. Even among divine beasts, it was a peak entity.

Time was unfathomable. Back then, how much effort had Lin Feng spent comprehending time in the Origin Universe? The Rule of Time was vast, mysterious, strange, and profound.

However, at this moment, the Torch Dragon in front of him made a light swipe, and time seemed to have stopped completely.

Perfected Lord Wind, the Mystic Stone City Lord, and the other Perfected Lords' mouths were still agape. Their expressions seemed to be filled with fear, but also as if they were about to warn Lin Feng. However, at this moment, they all stopped moving. The scene seemed to have frozen.

Even Lin Feng seemed to have gone still at this moment. Even his thoughts stopped.

This was what stopping time was like. This was what utilizing the Rule of Time was like. The Torch Dragon in front of him had yet to become a divine beast, and could not control time at will, let alone use the Rule of Time to trap and kill enemies like the Torch Dragon divine beast.

Even so, the Torch Dragon was almost invincible.

Even though it only lasted for an instant, it was enough to resolve many problems for a Chaotic spirit beast like the Torch Dragon.

"Die!"

The Torch Dragon swiped its claw at Lin Feng. It possessed the Torch Dragon bloodline. Not only did it have powerful innate divine ability, its own strength was not inferior to any Chaotic spirit beast.

Moreover, with a terrifying innate ability like stilling time, it was no wonder even those Chaotic spirit beasts were willing to submit to the Torch Dragon. This was because the Torch Dragon really had the ability to kill those Chaotic spirit beasts with ease.

Boom.

The moment the Torch Dragon attacked, which was the moment time standstill was activated, Lin Feng's entire body froze, and even his thoughts stopped. This strange innate ability involved the most mysterious and bizarre Rule of Time in the legends. Even though Lin Feng had already developed a perfected spirit, and even though Lin Feng's attainments in martial arts were very profound, it was useless against such a terrible and bizarre ability at this moment.

He was confined, confined by time. Even for an instant, it was enough for the Torch Dragon to kill him. Although the Torch Dragon did not have any methods to kill perfected spirits, killing a Perfected Lord meant that their perfected spirit could only reincarnate.

Once they reincarnated, they could only enter the next life. The Perfected Lord in this life would be dead, and would be a complete failure. Which Perfected Lord would want to reincarnate with their perfected spirit unless absolutely necessary?

Accompanied by a loud, booming noise, the cosmic power in Lin Feng's body erupted completely. Although Lin Feng's thoughts and power were completely confined by the time standstill, which was the power of time, Lin Feng was a Transcendent who had transformed into a universe. His strongest power was his internal universe.

The internal universe was an independent universe, almost no different from the Origin Universe. The only difference was that Lin Feng was the only ruler in this universe, the god of creation, who controlled everything in the universe!

Even the Torch Dragon divine beast could not use the Rule of Time to change an Origin Universe. Hence, although Lin Feng was confined by the "time standstill" technique, the cosmic power in Lin Feng's body erupted automatically. "Time standstill" was completely useless against Lin Feng's internal universe.

Swoosh.

As the cosmic power in Lin Feng's body erupted, Lin Feng also came back to himself within a thousandth of a second. His eyes were filled with life again.

At this moment, the Torch Dragon's claw had already struck over.

"Universe descending!"

Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. Immediately, the cosmic power erupted. Majestic cosmic power erupted from Lin Feng's body, bearing the power of an entire universe. The Torch Dragon's claw was indeed very strong, but it did not exceed the scope of a Chaotic spirit beast.

Thud.

Lin Feng's cosmic power erupted, but the time was too short. He could only resist this claw strike head-on. His body shattered inch by inch, and he was sent flying.

The battle lasted for a very short period of time, almost only an instant.

The effect of time standstill had also passed. When Perfected Lord Wind, the Mystic Stone City Lord, and the others recovered, they only saw Lin Feng being sent flying at once. His Chaotic body had even been shattered. How could they not know what had happened?

"Perfected Lord Lin, be careful!"

"It's that strange ability again. Stilling time. There's no way to resist it at all."

"Perfected Lord Lin is in danger. Although a Perfected Lord is unparalleled in power, and can suppress Chaotic spirit beasts and even kill them, in the face of such a strange ability, no amount of power is of any use. They're just passive targets."

"It's really too terrifying. Freezing time, while our Chaotic bodies are far inferior to those Chaotic spirit beasts. Even a single strike from the Torch Dragon could blast apart a Chaotic spirit beast, let alone Perfected Lords like us."

Perfected Lord Wind and the Mystic Stone City Lord could only grit their teeth with vigilant expressions, but none of them acted rashly.

The disparity was too great, so great that it made them despair. If this was just a normal battle, no matter how strong the opponent was, there was nothing for so many Perfected Lords like them to fear.

But what was the situation now?

Before the strange "time standstill" ability, they did not even have the capability to fight back. Time was frozen. They could not know anything and could only be passive targets. They probably would not even know if they were killed, and could only reincarnate with their perfected spirits after.

The number of Perfected Lords was even less worth mentioning before the Torch Dragon. In fact, compared to those Chaotic spirit beasts, Perfected Lords were probably easier to deal with than Chaotic spirit beasts in the eyes of the Torch Dragon.

Originally, they had hoped that Lin Feng, a famed Perfected Lord who could kill four Chaotic spirit beasts in a row, could deal with the Torch Dragon. They did not expect Lin Feng to be endangered instead.

Right now, Lin Feng could barely defend himself.

Looking at Lin Feng, who was sent flying, Perfected Lord Wind smiled wanly and said, "I was the one who got Perfected Lord Lin into this mess. This monster is not something we can deal with at all. I'm afraid only a true Perfected Deity can deal with it."

Perfected Lord Wind shook his head. He was in complete despair now. The innate abilities possessed by the Torch Dragon were too bizarre and almost impossible to counter. No matter how strong one was, they could not be resisted. What was the use?

Boom.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and a sonic boom sounded. At the same time, a figure flew straight into the void from the ground like a stream of light.

"That… That's Perfected Lord Lin?"

Everyone looked up and saw the figure in the stream of light. It was Lin Feng! For a moment, the Perfected Lords were very surprised, but also a little confused and worried.

All kinds of emotions filled his heart.

Even if Lin Feng was lucky enough to survive, what was the use if he could not break the strange ability of the Torch Dragon?

"You're not dead?"

The Torch Dragon was actually a little surprised. It knew the power of its claw strike very well. Even other Chaotic spirit beasts could not withstand it, let alone a mere Perfected Lord.

However, Lin Feng successfully resisted it, and he was not dead. This was the first time the Torch Dragon had encountered such a thing. In previous battles, be it against Chaotic spirit beasts or Perfected Lords, as long as it activated the "time standstill" method to stop time, the rest would be simple.

Be it Chaotic spirit beasts or Perfected Lords, only death awaited them. Perfected Lords could only survive by hiding in the array of the city.

But now, Lin Feng had resisted its ability, and appeared unscathed. For a moment, the Torch Dragon's eyes narrowed slightly, as if it wanted to see through Lin Feng completely.

Standing in the void, Lin Feng was also looking at the Torch Dragon. He no longer underestimated it at all.

Just now, in that instant, Lin Feng was actually already dead. His Chaotic body had been blasted apart. Any other Chaotic spirit beast or Perfected Lord would be dead.

He did not die, but that was thanks to his internal universe. As long as his internal universe did not collapse, Lin Feng was almost immortal.

Even so, Lin Feng was very cautious. This was the first time he had almost no capability to fight back. It was not because of the powerful strength of the Torch Dragon. In terms of strength, Lin Feng had the six forms of the Heaven and Earth Seal, and was not inferior to the Torch Dragon at all.

However, this involved Rules, in particular the Rule of Time, so Lin Feng could not fight back.

Fortunately, he still had his internal universe. This was the only power that the Torch Dragon could not affect. If he wanted to resist the Torch Dragon, he would have to rely on the power of his internal universe. Otherwise, any other power or method would be useless before the strange ability of the Torch Dragon.
