Chapter 1268: Powerful Upgrade! Comparable to a Primordial God!

Outside the Spirit God Realm, countless gods still stretched their necks, eager to see the outcome of the battle.

But towering flames blocked all sight!

They could not see a thing happening inside the fire.

Yet the surging water that had been constantly clashing with the flames had vanished.

This left some gods puzzled:

"Could the victory have been decided so quickly?"

The water that kept appearing contained terrifying power of the Water Dao—only the Master of the Seven Seas could wield such potent Water Dao in the Heavenly Realm.

Now, that water was gone.

This made the gods grow uneasy and uncertain.

"It shouldn't be this fast—the Master of the Seven Seas is already nearly as strong as a Primordial God. There are three other Law Lords equally powerful. Even if the Flame Lord is stronger, he's still not a Primordial God. How could he end this battle so quickly?"

Said a third-tier god.

"Space seems sealed. Not being able to sense the battle inside is normal. This fight is likely a grueling one for the Flame Lord—even if he wins, he'll probably be left with little strength left..."

A hidden Law Lord thought silently.

This Law Lord also sought to master the Flame Dao, but his mastery had not yet exceeded 50%.

So, after seeing five Law Lords already act, he remained cautious and did not intervene.

Even as a Law Lord himself, he sensed absolutely no disturbance when Lin Yan activated Time Power.

In fact, there were other important observers of this battle.

The Ancient Gods.

So far, the Ancient Gods had made no move.

But the Master of the Seven Seas had specifically sought out the Five-Star Ancient God, Azure Dragon Zunzhu.

Though Azure Dragon Zunzhu's true form had not yet arrived, his gaze had already descended.

Azure Dragon Zunzhu was watching this battle.

He was waiting for an opportunity.

The Master of the Seven Seas had estimated Lin Yan's strength highly, so long ago, he and Azure Dragon Zunzhu had made a pact.

The Master of the Seven Seas would strike first, exposing all of Lin Yan's hidden cards; then, at the battle's most critical moment, Azure Dragon Zunzhu would strike and end it in one blow.

But the situation inside the Spirit God Realm now obscured even Azure Dragon Zunzhu's view.

Still, like the other Law Lords, Azure Dragon Zunzhu did not believe the Master of the Seven Seas had lost.

No, none of them would lose—Azure Dragon Zunzhu could not possibly imagine that the Master of the Seven Seas and the others were already dead.

Even a Five-Star Ancient God like Azure Dragon Zunzhu, who had existed for eons and was nearly an Ancient God himself, sensed absolutely no disturbance when Lin Yan activated Time Power.

This was Lin Yan's third time activating Time Power.

Lin Yan had realized it.

More precisely, when activating Time Power, no god could sense it.

Because Time Power did not act upon the Heavenly Realm.

It acted upon Lin Yan himself.

It was not that the entire world slowed down.

It was that Lin Yan sped up.

No, not even Lin Yan sped up.

Rather, during that single second, Lin Yan's personal time flow suddenly accelerated manyfold.

That is, Lin Yan did not change, and the world did not change.

What changed was Lin Yan's own time flow.

Under this condition, Lin Yan's personal time flow accelerated by more than a hundredfold.

The one second Lin Yan spent activating Time Power was merely one-hundredth of a second to other gods.

Yet gods were still gods—even with such a vast difference in time flow, they could still see Lin Yan's movements. But they had far too little time to mount any effective counter.

Because Lin Yan did not need a full second to complete his attack.

Lin Yan himself could finish all his attacks within one-hundredth of a second—and to other gods, that one-hundredth of a second meant one-ten-thousandth of a second.

It was as if Lin Yan had become a hundred times faster.

Or as if the other gods had become a hundred times slower.

This was the Bug of Time Power.

And precisely because of this, when Lin Yan used this sliver of Time Power, other gods sensed nothing at all.

Even the targeted gods felt no trace of Time Power.

The Flame Lord could only deduce it—by noticing Lin Yan's attacks suddenly became impossibly fast, so fast even he could not defend effectively!

The Flame Lord did not sense Time Power.

Because this sliver of Time Power acted solely upon Lin Yan himself, not upon the entire world.

To apply Time Power to the entire world...

This sliver was far too weak.

That would require mastery of the Time Rule—or perhaps a Time Dao that might not even exist.

But in the Continent of Gods, Time was an untouchable domain.

Yet even this sliver of Time Power was more than enough for Lin Yan!

Under current circumstances, acting upon himself was better—it kept his true trump card completely hidden.

Now, Lin Yan's hidden trump cards were first: the Flame Form.

Second, this sliver of time power.

If the flame form is exposed, it's not really that important.

Lin Yan's current strength is so immense—let it be exposed; who would dare lay hands on him?

This sliver of time power, if it can be kept hidden, it should be kept hidden.

Even in confrontations between Supreme Deities, if used well, this sliver of time power will surely produce miraculous effects!

So, even though he knew this sliver of time power acted upon himself, Lin Yan sealed the space first before unleashing the time power to end the battle in one blow.

While other deities were all curiously wondering how the battle was progressing, Lin Yan had quietly completed his upgrade.

After upgrading, Lin Yan looked at his panel.
