Chapter 674: The Time Sword, Thoroughly Shattered

"Sshhh—"

Fresh blood sprayed a ghastly trajectory across the sky; a human figure plummeted from the heavens, falling to the ground and losing all signs of life.

"What, still coming?" Lingyun held his twin swords high, looking at the DEM company magicians before him.

The DEM company magicians surrounding Lingyun all had a trace of fear on their faces. This man was like a devil; as long as he brandished his twin swords, one of their companions would inevitably spill blood across the sky.

In the sky behind them, violent roaring sounds continued. Although the Underworld King guards modified by the DEM company were more powerful, facing the Three Phantom Gods summoned by Lingyun, they could still only be thoroughly thrashed.

Not only that, while thrashing the three Underworld King guards, the Three Phantom Gods had also destroyed almost all the facilities on the island. The DEM company personnel on the island were gnashing their teeth over this, but they were mostly helpless, because they discovered they could not deal with the Three Phantom Gods at all.

Just as Lingyun harvested another DEM company magician, a head suddenly poked out from behind him.

The DEM company magicians were all startled by this scene, but Lingyun's expression remained normal as he asked indifferently, "Kurumi, have you found Nia?"

"I have found her, but her current condition is very dire; there is even a possibility of her undergoing a Reversal at any moment," Tokisaki Kurumi said with a frown. "I cannot resolve this situation now; it will have to depend on you."

"Is the situation very serious?" Lingyun's brows furrowed slightly.

"That's right. I truly find it hard to imagine what kind of torture she has endured over these past few years," Tokisaki Kurumi said, gritting her teeth.

"Since she has been found, there is no need for us to remain in this place. Kurumi, wait a moment; I will tidy up this place, and then we shall leave!" The aura on Lingyun's body began to climb steadily, and the silver Pocket Watch appeared behind him once more.

"Game over, everyone!" Lingyun's figure instantly turned into a stream of light, sweeping past the numerous DEM company magicians. The DEM company magicians flying in the air froze, then a flower of blood burst from each of their throats as they tumbled downward.

"Superconducting Wave Holy Light!"

"Crushing God Fist!"

"God Phoenix!"

At the same time Lingyun launched his attack, the Three Phantom Gods under his command also launched a fatal assault on the three Underworld King guards. Three rays of different colored light pierced the sky, not only evaporating the three Underworld King guards into nothingness but also blasting several massive craters into the ground of Nilier Island.

"Hmm, is the main body urging me to end the battle? It seems the rescue has succeeded," the clone who was fighting the top DEM company magicians in the base raised an eyebrow. "Everyone, the battle is over!"

Hearing the words of Lingyun's clone, the several magicians before him all showed vigilant expressions, their Light Swords simultaneously assuming a defensive stance. During the time they had been exchanging blows with Lingyun's clone, they had deeply realized the terrifying strength of Lingyun's clone.

"Four Symbols Dragon Sword Art, Explode!"

As the clone's voice fell, the four giant dragons beside him simultaneously let out a long roar, and terrifying power instantly filled the entire corridor, swallowing the figures of the several magicians.

After the light vanished, the figures of those few magicians were no longer in the corridor; only a few remaining scraps of iron on the ground told the tale of the previous battle.

"Battle over!" The clone chuckled, and his figure slowly vanished into a shadow.

"The battle on the clone's side is over; it is time for my side to enter the endgame as well!" The twin swords in Lingyun's hands turned into specks of light and vanished, and a terrifying aura rose from his body.

"Kurumi, take Nia into my shadow," Lingyun said.

Upon hearing these words from Lingyun, Tokisaki Kurumi did not offer any opposition, instead taking Nia and diving directly into Lingyun's shadow. In that instant, she sensed a terrifying crisis emanating from Lingyun.

"Click—clack—"

Lingyun slowly raised his hand, and the massive Pocket Watch behind him began to tick slowly. The sound of the watch was not very loud, yet every person on Nilier Island strangely discovered that they could hear this sound clearly.

Upon hearing this sound, the supreme person in charge of Nilier Island felt a sinister premonition rise in their heart; this sound was like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper, announcing the arrival of their end.

"Quick, attack that Spirit with everything you have!" The person in charge, disregarding their own image, roared frantically into the microphone.

The Realizers surviving on Nilier Island aimed in unison at Lingyun in the sky, and countless attacks surged toward Lingyun's direction like a rainstorm.

"Roar—"

Three roars rang out from the sky; the figures of the Three Phantom Gods appeared beside Lingyun, turning into light and shadow as they began to spin rapidly around him. The three different colored rays of light slowly merged together during the rapid rotation, turning into a white-gold color.

The white-gold barrier looked incredibly thin, yet it was extremely sturdy; no matter how the Realizers on the island attacked, they could not damage this barrier in the slightest.

"Time!"

Following Lingyun's low shout, the spiritual power within his body began to boil, and a great sword slowly emerged from the Void, landing in his hand.

Lingyun gripped the Time Sword, the Source Power within his body continuously converting into spiritual power; the immense spiritual power caused the space around his body to distort.

"Time Torrent!"

Following Lingyun's cold shout, the Three Phantom Gods beside him all instantly swept into his body, and his figure, like a meteor, slammed heavily into the center of Nilier Island.

Dazzling white light spread frantically in all directions with Lingyun's landing point as the center, instantly shrouding the majority of Nilier Island.

Sensing that white light closing in frantically toward their direction, a trace of despair appeared on the face of the person in charge of Nilier Island. Although they did not know what effect this white light had, as a technique unleashed with full force by a Swordsman, how could it be simple?

When shrouded by the white light, a trace of terror finally appeared on the face of the person in charge, because under the shroud of the white light, they discovered their body was aging rapidly; in the span of a mere minute, they found themselves transformed from the appearance of someone in their thirties to that of someone in their fifties or sixties.

"No! No! No!" The person in charge let out a ghastly scream, but at this moment, they discovered their voice had already become as hoarse as an old person's.

The white light shrouded the entire Nilier Island and only vanished after several minutes.

Tokisaki Kurumi emerged from Lingyun's shadow and, looking at Nilier Island before her, could not help but open her mouth wide.

"Lingyun, did you do this?"

In Tokisaki Kurumi's view, many buildings across the entire Nilier Island had already shown signs of decay. The DEM company magicians before them had long since become a pile of withered bones. At a glance, the entire Nilier Island looked as if it had experienced nearly a hundred years of time.

"That's right. As for this place, let it be buried in the torrent of time forever. And everything researched in this place has already completely vanished; even if the people from the DEM company want to find anything useful here, it will be in vain," Lingyun said, supporting his body with the Time Sword.

Having unleashed such a powerful technique, even Lingyun felt a sense of emptiness within his body.

"Lingyun, are you alright?" Looking at Lingyun's state, Tokisaki Kurumi could not help but say with some concern.

"I'm fine, just a bit over-exhausted," Lingyun waved his hand, and the Time Sword in his hand and the Pocket Watch behind him slowly vanished. "Let's leave first."

Tokisaki Kurumi nodded and, taking Lingyun with her, dived into the shadows.
