Chapter 1052: Reflecting the Five Directional Sacred Beasts! The True Spirit of the Time Dao!

Under the full operation of the Twelve Yuan Chen, the figures behind the six whirlpools gradually stabilized.

Six figures slowly stepped out from the whirlpools.

The next instant, six unexpected figures appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Five of these figures were the Five Directional Sacred Beasts, suppressed by Luo Fu.

Yes, after much deliberation, the Twelve Yuan Chen ultimately chose to resurrect the Five Directional Sacred Beasts.

The Five Directional Sacred Beasts were only Sub-Saints, so the pressure of resurrection was relatively smaller.

Yet in combat power, the Five Directional Sacred Beasts were no weaker than five Saints.

Once the Five Directional Sacred Beasts formed the Five Directions, Five Elements Great Array, each would possess Saint-level combat power.

Moreover, the Twelve Yuan Chen knew the Five Directional Sacred Beasts best and could maximize their combat potential.

In comparison, the Saints were relatively more unpredictable.

The Twelve Yuan Chen did not wish for an incident like the one just now to occur during combat.

If, during battle, the past or future forms of the manifested Saints suddenly collapsed, it would inevitably disrupt the situation.

In contrast, the Five Directional Sacred Beasts, as Chaotic Divine Beasts, were far more stable.

As for the final figure, it was a stranger, an unknown powerhouse never seen in the Primordial World.

In truth, this final figure was not any being from the Primordial World.

Nor was it a visitor from Chaos.

It was a composite entity.

It was the composite of the Twelve Yuan Chen.

Formed from the Twelve Yuan Chen, constructed through the power of Heaven's Dao and the Changhe River, it was the True Spirit of the Time Dao.

Yes, the True Spirit of the Time Dao.

Among the many powerful figures summoned by the eight whirlpools of the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm, the True Spirit of the Time Dao was the strongest.

This was also why the Twelve Yuan Chen chose to summon the Five Directional Sacred Beasts for the remaining five slots.

As previously mentioned, only a Hunyuan Da Luo Dao Jinxian could become a Dao Spirit.

Once becoming a Dao Spirit, one could rival an ordinary Hunyuan Da Luo Dao Jinxian.

The Time Dao was one of the most powerful Daos; becoming its True Spirit granted a combat power increase far exceeding that of ordinary Daos.

Conversely, the cost to manifest the True Spirit of the Time Dao was also far greater.

If not for the fact that the True Spirit of the Time Dao was a composite of the Twelve Yuan Chen, naturally attuned to the Time Dao,

the Twelve Yuan Chen could never have manifested the True Spirit of the Time Dao using just one slot.

Using only one slot to manifest the True Spirit of the Time Dao was still somewhat strained,

so the Twelve Yuan Chen chose to summon the Five Directional Sacred Beasts, reallocating the saved capacity to the True Spirit of the Time Dao.

Only then did it barely meet the requirements to summon the True Spirit of the Time Dao.

With the appearance of the past forms of the Five Directional Sacred Beasts and the True Spirit of the Time Dao, the battle within the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm reached a tipping point.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrifying aura erupted continuously from the past and future forms.

Luo Fu, the Twelve Ancestral Wushen, and Saint Tongtian also released their own auras.

The two auras clashed within the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm.

Under the staggering shock of aura, even the Changhe River above the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm rippled slightly.

This battle was undoubtedly the most intense since the Wushuyuan Society.

Even the Divine Investiture War could not compare.

The Divine Investiture War involved only five Saints fighting each other.

In the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm now, there were at least eleven Saint-level combat powers.

Eleven Saint-level combat powers were more than double those of the Divine Investiture War.

Compared to Luo Fu, the Twelve Ancestral Wushen, and Saint Tongtian, the Twelve Yuan Chen had far less patience.

Barely had the auras clashed when the Twelve Yuan Chen impatiently launched their attack.

Under the control of the Twelve Yuan Chen, the Five Directional Sacred Beasts struck first.

The Five Elements Dao began to flow, and the Five Directions, Five Elements Great Array reappeared within the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm.

This time, the Five Directions, Five Elements Great Array did not form a separate small realm, but merged directly with the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm, augmenting it.

The originally gray and hazy Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm began to weave with colorful Dao patterns.

With the appearance of the Five Directions, Five Elements Great Array, a powerful suppression force immediately arose within the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm.

Luo Fu, the Twelve Ancestral Wushen, and Saint Tongtian instantly felt as if a great mountain had settled upon them; their released auras were partially suppressed.

In contrast, the aura of the past forms of the Five Directional Sacred Beasts surged, instantly breaking through to the Saint layer.

The Five Elements Dao condensed behind them also began to solidify.

Immediately after the past forms of the Five Directional Sacred Beasts, the True Spirit of the Time Dao acted.

The Changhe River rippled slightly, and the power of the Time Dao descended.

This power split into two parts.

One part fell upon Luo Fu, the Twelve Ancestral Wushen, and Saint Tongtian; the other fell upon the past and future forms summoned by the Twelve Yuan Chen.

Under the effect of the Time Dao, Luo Fu, the Twelve Ancestral Wushen, and Saint Tongtian instantly felt the world had accelerated greatly, while they themselves had become sluggish in comparison.

The True Spirit of the Time Dao had imposed Time Slow upon them.

From an external perspective, their speed was reduced manyfold by the Time Slow.

Upon the past and future forms, Time Acceleration was applied.

As a result, the speed of the past and future bodies would be increased manyfold.

Because those who bestow the enhancement are all of the Hunyuan layer.

Even the true spirit of the Dao of Time could only enhance by a factor of four.

But it was enough.

Accelerate fourfold, decelerate fourfold—under this imbalance, it amounted to a sixteenfold difference.

Under such a vast disparity, every movement by Luo Fu, the Twelve Ancestral Spirits of the Wu, and Saint Tongtian appeared to the past and future bodies as slow as snails.

This is the terrifying nature of the Dao of Time.

In all under heaven, speed alone breaks all defenses.

But before the Dao of Time, speed itself lost all meaning.

Even if one's speed were immense, a time-deceleration would cause it to plummet.

Likewise, even if one's speed were sluggish, a time-acceleration would cause it to surge.

Unless someone's speed could surpass time itself.

Surpassing time is no simple matter, especially through speed alone.

Clang!

Feeling the suppression upon his body.
