Chapter 160

Chen Ping could even guess the distance to the next golden altar based on the thickness of the light.

Destroying a golden altar with a guardian beast would very likely yield a Level Unsealing Book or other treasures.

If destroyed while the invasion was ongoing, one could only obtain the golden statues that the golden altar originally possessed.

Weighing the two, Chen Ping finally decided to continue searching.

After all, once the invasion tide ended, it wouldn't just be him searching for golden altars anymore.

Even now, he wasn't sure if there were others searching for golden altars.

This thing is all about being one step ahead, leading to every step ahead.

The others naturally had no objections to Chen Ping's decision.

Everyone continued to explore in the fog, during which Chen Ping constantly used the power of dimensional studies to avoid spatial fluctuation points.

If one accidentally entered these fluctuation points, they could very likely be teleported to another area.

This was one of the most terrifying dangers in the fog.

Don't think that Chen Ping could traverse the Fog Zone just like that; that was because he had mastered the nine great knowledge powers.

Through the comprehensive use of knowledge, he could sense and avoid risks in advance.

If it were an ordinary person, even Natasha, they could only move step by step after entering the fog, not daring to advance rashly.

To act like Chen Ping in the fog, one must at least master the three major categories: Occultism, Dimensional Studies, and Origin Studies.

After avoiding a fluctuation point once again, Chen Ping and the others passed through the fog before them and saw a golden altar not far away.

"So big."

Lin Yifei couldn't help but say.

Because the altar that appeared before them was more than twice as large as any they had encountered before.

The entire lower part of the altar had nine levels of steps, and the upper part had three stone tablets of varying heights.

Each stone tablet had a halo rotating on it, emitting a mysterious aura.

When Chen Ping and the others appeared, the space outside the entire altar suddenly distorted, and something was descending here.

"It's the sealed space being reactivated; the originally expelled guardian beasts are about to return."

"It seems that quite a few lords outside have already shattered the Fog Stone Pillars, causing the invasion force to be weakened."

After sensing for a moment, Chen Ping's expression became somewhat serious.

Spatial powers are all interconnected; when the trial rules project spatial power to the periphery of the fog to eliminate it,

compared to other places inside, the spatial power would be transferred away, making the space here more stable.

Those guardian beasts were all summoned by the altar through space.

Now that the external pressure had weakened, the spatial power naturally flowed back, and the guardian beasts had gained an opportunity to enter again.

But because the rate of weakening was not fast, the spatial channel was still unstable, and the guardian beasts on the other side were testing it.

"Quick, take the opportunity to destroy the altar and take the rewards."

Patting the silver-white Qilin's head, the auspicious beast leaped with its hooves and jumped directly in front of the large golden altar.

Who would have thought that Chen Ping's approach would actually seem to stimulate the guardian beast on the other side of the space.

The space outside the golden altar distorted visibly to the naked eye, and black cracks appeared out of thin air.

Accompanying them were red and purple lightning; that was Void Lightning!

Generally speaking, only the act of forcibly tearing space would trigger Void Lightning.

Through the torn cracks, Chen Ping saw a blurry shadow on the other side.

On this side, one could only make out a rough humanoid shape; it must be some kind of humanoid guardian beast.

"Heh, I'll kill you when you come over; what are you getting excited about?"

Chen Ping didn't pay attention to the cracks; such a forced tearing of space, even if the guardian beast on the other side could come over, would leave it severely injured.

Unless a divine beast came over, then Chen Ping would have to admit defeat.

But he didn't believe that a mere golden altar in the fog had the ability to have a divine beast guard it.

Letting the Black Tortoise Guards and the others guard the periphery of the altar, Chen Ping walked directly up the steps.

When he entered the large golden altar, he only felt some grand sound echoing in his ears.

It was as if countless people were praying around the altar.

These prayers echoed endlessly, making his spirit become somewhat dazed.

The scenery before his eyes changed; everything around him turned into arcs of light and flowed away, until it became scenery like lines.

It was as if he had jumped into the river of time, and everything around him was flowing away at an unknown multiple.

Chen Ping saw high mountains rising from the ground, then turning into wilderness, and finally being covered by water, but immediately after, mountains rose again.

During this period, figures appeared; sometimes they existed alone, sometimes in groups.

Later on, he clearly saw some guys wearing cloaks and holding huge scythes.

These strange people, who brought a terrifying threat to Chen Ping, waved their scythes, extracting some energy—he didn't know what it was—from the bodies of humans.

This scene brought a great sense of shock to Chen Ping.

He watched those people wailing and struggling, but in the end, their energy was still extracted.

Subsequently, under the effect of time, they turned into withered bones and became flying ash.

Later, people appeared again; they prayed to the heavens and then built altars one after another.

They developed their own tribes around the altars and grew strong because of them.

But as time passed, those existences holding scythes, like reapers, appeared once again.

Just as Chen Ping was about to continue watching, his head suddenly felt a sharp pain.

That was the self-protection triggered when his soul power had dropped to the critical point; he woke up with a start.

All the illusions around him disappeared.

Milan stood nervously under the altar; in front of her, a golden-yellow protective shield blocked her outside.

"Lord, are you okay?"

Seeing Chen Ping wake up, Milan asked anxiously.

Chen Ping clutched his head, his entire back was covered in cold sweat, and his spirit was somewhat dazed.

"How long have I been stuck in that state just now?"

"Not even a quarter of an hour."

"It's fine, I was trapped in the time imprint left by the altar; were you blocked outside?"

"Yes, this light shield appeared after you entered."

Chen Ping looked around; the light shield was like an inverted bowl, covering everything tightly.

He couldn't hear any prayer sounds now either; everything around had returned to its previous state.

If it weren't for the fact that his soul power had indeed been consumed to the critical point, he might have really thought that what he just experienced was an illusion.

This golden altar had a time imprint remaining on it, eroded by time.

Once someone climbed up, they would be pulled into the time regression; those with weak soul power would die in minutes.

Those with strong soul power would also inevitably suffer from various negative states.

Because this is one of the most terrifying powers in the world.

Only gods can touch the torrent of time, and only they can shake space.

Those who touch time and space with a mortal body will either be injured or die.

Even if just touched by the torrent of time, a mortal's short life would flow away in an instant.

Chen Ping opened his attribute panel and also carefully checked his own body.

But he was surprised to find that he had no problems at all.

The current weakness didn't count as a problem; this thing would recover after resting for a while.

When he looked deep into his soul, he found a magical power slowly returning to calm.

That was the blessing of the Traveler of the Myriad Worlds: Unique in Time and Space!

Unique in Time and Space: Your time axis and spatial axis will be unified; among the myriad dimensions, you are one of a kind!

Chen Ping still remembered that when this blessing fell, the other gods were clearly very surprised.

At that time, the sky rumbled, and the gods were all shaken.

The importance of this blessing was definitely the most important among all blessings.

But Chen Ping had never been able to figure out what the use of this blessing was, nor had he had the opportunity to try it.

Now it seems that it was precisely because of the power of this blessing that he survived the time and space illusion just now.
