Chapter 964: The Power of the Law of Time (Please vote for monthly tickets)

"Swish!"

In an instant, he rushed out like lightning.

"Boom—!!"

The moment he rushed out, he felt the violent change in space.

The entire space became abnormally heavy, possessing an invisible resistance, but this did not have much impact on him.

With his speed, he didn't even need a second to reach the finish line.

However, the air seemed to possess some kind of power that was devouring his Source Energy.

All the Source Energy he released was devoured clean.

An invisible black Law fluctuation began to emerge.

"Whoosh—"

Lin Qi felt his entire body boiling, burning crazily.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable because it was burning too fiercely, even overdrawing his life.

His Source Energy was also being consumed crazily in the burning.

"Whoosh—!!"

His body was burning intensely, his skin even turning bright red, emitting white steam.

An invisible pressure was permeating.

Lin Qi couldn't care about that much; he ran crazily against the heavy pressure, shooting out like lightning.

However, his speed had already slowed down a lot.

Otherwise, for a distance of 10 kilometers, he could reach the finish line in less than 0.1 seconds.

But now his speed slowed down instantly; it took him 10 seconds to finish running a distance of 1 kilometer.

"Whoosh—"

Lin Qi gasped for air, an intense feeling of exhaustion surging from within his body.

The energy in the tens of billions of cells throughout his body, as well as his Source Energy, was being consumed crazily.

The exhaustion that hadn't appeared for a long time actually appeared again.

The invisible power of the Law of Time shrouded his body.

Lin Qi felt an unprecedented sense of weakness shrouding him.

It was as if he had been exercising crazily all day, exhausting his physical strength completely.

His whole body began to tremble, and his speed slowed down visibly to the naked eye.

He had to slow down.

"Whoosh—!!"

His chest heaved violently, his breathing rapid.

The energy of his cells was consumed crazily.

He felt that if he sprinted again, he would be exhausted to death halfway.

The speed of his blood flow was slowing down, his bone marrow was peeling away, and the strength of his muscles was flowing away rapidly.

His vision began to dim, his whole body lost its luster, and his aura grew weaker and weaker.

What was flowing away was not just his strength, but also his years.

He was like an old man whose age was constantly increasing.

His physique became increasingly frail, and his speed became slower and slower.

In Lin Qi's mind, the thought "I really want to rest" even appeared.

And he hadn't had such a thought for a thousand years.

He was always full of energy, possessing inexhaustible strength.

Even if he was exhausted due to cultivation, he could recover in a very short time.

But now, he couldn't recover.

He was becoming weaker and weaker, like an old man with osteoporosis.

An unprecedented weakness shrouded his heart, and he even wanted to lie down on the spot and sleep.

Too tired!

He looked at his hands, from originally being full of luster and strength, to now beginning to shrink.

Through his skin, the blood flow in his blood vessels also became slow, like a dried-up creek.

His skin also began to become withered.

His body involuntarily began to become hunched.

"Is this the power of the Law of Time?"

Lin Qi guessed it was the power of the Law of Time, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying.

Just by shrouding him, it made his lifespan and strength consume crazily like burning firewood.

The 10-kilometer distance was clearly right before his eyes.

He felt it was so far away.

"Whoosh—"

Lin Qi constantly adjusted his breathing, controlled his muscles, and started jogging.

He couldn't sprint like before.

This feeling of weakness was even more painful than the pain brought by other physical and mental impacts.

Losing strength—not many people could remain calm in the face of this feeling of despair.

Not only that, he also began to feel sleepy, his body instinctively wanting to make him stop and rest.

And this feeling became increasingly intense.

Lin Qi's expression remained firm.

Jogging, he approached the finish line bit by bit.

Finally, he even stopped running and moved forward step by step.

With his tough willpower, he suppressed his body's instincts and moved forward bit by bit.

2 kilometers, 3 kilometers, 4 kilometers……

Unknowingly, he arrived at the 7-kilometer mark.

His vision had already become blurry, and his consciousness was no longer clear.

He only felt that there was still a long distance to the finish line.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a heavy sound, he then completely lost consciousness.

……

"Whoosh—"

When Lin Qi opened his eyes and looked around, he realized he had returned to the finish line at some point.

【Member Lin Qi, it is a pity that you did not pass the 91st level of the Bridge of Dreams!】

【Ranking (Star Evolution): 398→388】

【Do you wish to conduct the trial again?】

……

Lin Qi exhaled a breath of turbid air and shook his head.

He felt the inexhaustible strength in his body; the feeling just now was really too uncomfortable.

He was like a hundred-year-old man, even walking had become difficult.

His strength was completely lost, and every organ seemed to have reached the end of its lifespan.

Moreover, the Source Energy in his body was also exhausted.

"No wonder the difficulty is so high, and so few geniuses pass."

"This is only the 91st level, and there are 9 levels left behind."

Lin Qi clicked on the screen to check the replay.

Previously, he didn't need to watch replays; he would just challenge them directly, as he could pass quickly anyway.

But this time, it wouldn't work.

He had to check the replay; it showed on the screen that he was less than 3 kilometers away from the final finish line.

If he could have persisted a little longer, he might have passed.

However, he didn't intend to continue challenging it.

He also needed to slow down and have a good rest.

Passing 10 levels in one go like this was too much of a drain on his spirit.

He now only felt a splitting headache.

As for the ranking, it had improved by 10 spots.

To be honest, it was a bit higher than he had imagined.

Many of those whose willpower was stronger than his were old members who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years.

So he chose to exit.

……

On the Bridge of Dreams plaza, Lin Qi walked out from within.

"Swish—"

He transformed into a wisp of flowing light and shot into the sky, returning to the Sky-Sea Residence.

A moment later, he descended onto the martial arts training ground.

He took out 5 bottles of Soul-Glow Potion from the Source Core World and drank them in one gulp.

Feeling his mental strength recovering bit by bit.

Lin Qi immediately felt much better.

He entered the villa directly, preparing to sleep.

He needed to relax properly and then think about how to improve his willpower next.

……

In the core area, within a core manor.

The entire manor was like a garden, and the villa was integrated with countless types of plants.

A large number of giant vines were wrapped around the villa, and there was also a giant towering tree that reached an astonishing height of a thousand meters.

The giant tree emitted astonishing vitality, and it even possessed its own consciousness.

In the entire core area, it was also a magnificent sight.

Just then, on a thick branch of the giant tree, the Master of the Abyss, Kongming, draped in a dark green robe, looked around the entire core area.

Looking down from a high place, a large number of manors seemed to be in full view.

And in front of him, a large blue screen was projected.

On the large screen, Lin Qi's data and ranking information in the Bridge of Dreams were displayed.

A green and tough vine appeared beside him, wrapping around the Master of the Abyss, Kongming.

He touched the vine and revealed a smile, saying:

"Truly unexpected."

"Lin Qi's willpower is even stronger than we imagined."

"Even for top-tier geniuses, if they want to break through the Fifth Realm of the universe, they need to temper their willpower properly."

"Most need to spend thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, to slowly grind up the strength of their willpower through time."

"Besides Law comprehension, the improvement of willpower is the most difficult."

"I didn't expect Lin Qi, having only cultivated for a thousand years, to already possess such strong willpower."

"He is a born powerhouse."

"Just based on his current willpower, breaking through the Fifth Realm of the universe is absolutely no problem."
