Chapter 2544: Time Skill

With Ye Liuyun's strong support, Xiao Muan and Liu Kui also felt more confident.

Soon they amassed a large amount of resources to distribute to the Martial Cultivators who volunteered for battle.

Everyone in the Holy Land began to mobilize again.

The Secret Realms that originally belonged to the royal family were opened free of charge to the Martial Cultivators who volunteered.

Even Xiao Muan himself made thorough preparations, beginning cultivation and seeking partners to spar with.

The entire Holy Land was mobilized.

Mo Tianheng, Mo Shaowen, Liu Yang, Liang Bin and others also went on the Death Journey for a round of tempering.

Ye Liuyun also found fighting half‑beast Corpse Demon puppets boring, so he used Spatial Power to run around the Xingkong, seeking Xingkong giants to spar with, and often let the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon and Tin Jin Shou appear to freely absorb and grow.

Relying on his current Spatial Power, Ye Liuyun covered in a few months distances that previously took one or two years, and truly encountered many powerful Xingkong giants in the Xingkong, often fighting them to a deadlock.

Recently he met a Purple Qilin that could spew a violet blaze, a type of Yin fire.

Moreover, this Purple Qilin was far stronger than Ye Liuyun in both Heaven and Earth Power and Spatial Power, having broken through to the Dominant Realm.

When Ye Liuyun fought it, he couldn't gain any advantage and only took the hits.

But Ye Liuyun found that even when hit, the injuries were minor, perfect for body refining.

So Ye Liuyun kept clinging to it, even often feeding it roasted meat, just to prevent it from shaking him off.

This made the Purple Qilin quite frustrated, after all, battling Ye Liuyun also consumed True Essence.

Fortunately it could absorb planetary energy to quickly replenish True Essence, and with Ye Liuyun's roasted meat as bait, it didn't completely shake him off; otherwise, with its Spatial Power, a full‑throttle escape would have left Ye Liuyun unable to catch up.

Later, to lure it to stay, Ye Liuyun had Liang Xue release Qing Lin as a companion and even supplied resources, coaxing the Purple Qilin to agree to spar with him.

At first the Purple Qilin treated Ye Liuyun as a fool, but gradually realized that fighting him became increasingly taxing.

Ye Liuyun's Mysterious Origin mass was soaring, his Heaven and Earth Power and Spatial Power grew stronger, and his Physical Body advanced rapidly, becoming ever more formidable, and he could also absorb the Purple Qilin's Yin fire to enlarge his own Nether Ghost Fire.

Besides daily cultivation, he also ingested some body‑refining pills and resources to strengthen his Physical Body.

In the end, Ye Liuyun managed to drain its True Essence completely.

But each time he stopped once the True Essence was exhausted.

Ye Liuyun didn't want it to use Space World's power, fearing he couldn't compensate it.

Later, Ye Liuyun released his clone, Lei Ming, Long Nv, and the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon in rotation to spar with the Purple Qilin.

Since the Purple Qilin had Ye Liuyun's resources backing it, it didn't mind, treating it as training, beneficial to both sides.

They fought and roamed in the Xingkong until Ye Liuyun received a report from the Hawk reconnaissance team that they had encountered a Foreign Tribe fleet.

According to the Hawk fleet's findings, at least in numbers, Zhuge Feiyu's information to Ye Liuyun was correct.

"If we fight three more months, we'll withdraw!"

Ye Liuyun and the others set the time.

Thus each day they took turns battling in the Xingkong; sometimes Ye Liuyun also fought Lei Ming, Long Nv and the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon, letting them jointly attack him.

Seeing Ye Liuyun and the others about to leave, the Purple Qilin felt a bit reluctant and demonstrated a special skill to them: control over time.

While Ye Liuyun and the others were grilling meat, it took them to experience a reversal, turning time back by half a quarter‑hour.

The roasted meat in Ye Liuyun's hands, which had been fully cooked, reverted to its state from half a quarter‑hour ago.

This sensation of time reversal left Ye Liuyun and the others deeply shocked.

Ye Liuyun watched his own roasted meat gradually revert to its earlier state, point by point.

The feeling was like being in a dream.

"How did you do it?"

Ye Liuyun asked the Purple Qilin directly.

"I was born with it; it just consumes a lot of energy!"

The Purple Qilin couldn't explain much, only that it possessed its innate divine ability.

Ye Liuyun glanced at Qing Lin, who hurriedly shook his head: "I don't have that ability!"

"I'll give you energy; will you let us experience it a few more times?"

Ye Liuyun immediately asked the Purple Qilin.

In fact, that matched the Purple Qilin's original intention.

The more it practiced this time ability, the stronger it became.

But it consumes a lot of energy, and when its energy is low, it is reluctant to train.

Now that Ye Liuyun was a patron, it naturally seized the opportunity.

"Fine!"

The Purple Qilin readily agreed.

Afterwards, the few of them hurriedly finished the roasted meat, then each rode onto the Purple Qilin, supplying it with a world's Primordial Power for it to consume.

Ye Liuyun and his clone together contemplated the sensation of time flowing backward.

The feeling was like traversing a multicolored void river, where all matters retreated in development, and those colorful lights were composed of images of various events.

Ye Liuyun reached out to sense the colorful lights, but passed straight through them as if he were invisible.

He instantly activated his Golden Pupil, seeing only various substances flashing past his eyes.

In his eyes, they could be pieced together into different scenes.

That also counted as a colorful world, but it was entirely different from the previous kaleidoscopic feeling, closer to the essence of things.

Half a quarter‑hour later, the Purple Qilin stopped, needing to replenish energy.

Ye Liuyun and the others continued to feel the earlier sensation in their minds.

"It feels like entering another space!"

Lei Ming sighed, noting that his feeling was very similar to Ye Liuyun's.

Ye Liuyun immediately asked the purple qilin: "Not letting time reverse, just entering that kind of time state—can you do that?"

"Of course, that would be even easier, and it would save more resources!"

The purple qilin replied.

"All right, then you go in and out a few more times later, so we can get a feel for it!"

Ye Liuyun wanted to find a way to enter the river of time.

Afterwards, after the purple qilin had replenished its True Essence, they found another Dao xu, found some reference objects, and Ye Liuyun also struck out, breaking a big tree, then had the purple qilin demonstrate time reversal again.

This time, its Golden Pupil could clearly see how those materials went from being separated and broken to joining together.

How the birds flying through the air shifted their positions.

Then Ye Liuyun had the purple qilin go in and out of the river of time, so Ye Liuyun could get a feel for it.

But Ye Liuyun felt this experience was still insufficient, so he wanted to enter the purple qilin's Sea of Consciousness to understand its personal feeling.

But the purple qilin refused.

Letting them get a feel is fine, but entering its Sea of Consciousness and secretly learning from it is not something it agrees to.

This move is its trump card.
