Chapter 160: The Time God Ruins

Xiao Yu glanced at Xuyang's corpse on the ground and thought, "The data said Viska Star worships slaughter; indeed it's true."

A tall strong man hovered in the air before Xiao Yu, looking down at Xiao Yu and the others, and lowly shouted, "Hand over the spatial wrist!"

"What if I don't hand it over?" Xiao Yu said coldly; this man's high posture and commanding tone irritated him, and the fact is his strength is rather average.

Several streaks of blood‑red light flew in, quickly arriving beside the tall strong man.

"Brother Xiao Yu, quickly give them the spatial wrist!" Yu Qi stood beside them urging, "These Eighteen Sha, all eighteen people, can together face a Lord Rank strongman; we simply can't provoke them."

"This is bad now! The Eighteen Sha have gathered," Fang Lei's voice trembled.

Three golden streams of light flew in; a lean man with a long scar across his face said, "Brother, we didn't find the item."

"I heard that hermits are each low‑key yet powerful; they drift from world to world, visiting many wondrous places—like the Time God Ruins, Ancestor God Tomb, Purgatory Mountain Range, etc. Xiao Yu, have you been there?" Yu Qi was extremely excited.

Xiao Yu casually picked up a book; its pages were made of a soft yet sturdy material, and the cover bore two characters—'Time Crystal'.

The phantom body vanished, Xiao Yu sheathed his blade.

These eighteen people each possessed a spatial storage device; indeed not simple.

His figure moved instantly, and at once eighteen phantom bodies appeared, all appearing before the eighteen people.

Xiao Yu only took the spatial storage device, saying indifferently, "The rest can be considered drinking money for the big guys!"

The guards cleaned up the battlefield; guard leader Fang Lei, holding a pile of items, walked up to Xiao Yu, "Lord Xiao, these are your spoils."

Having witnessed many supreme secrets such as Phantom Slash Technique, Primordial Soul, Heavenly God Transformation, and having practiced thousands of methods from the 'Cosmic True Explanation', the techniques he spontaneously creates are even stronger.

Xiao Yu and Yu Qi hurried toward Star City, and along the way Xiao Yu kept cataloguing this haul.

Xiao Yu smiled, "I guess so."

The guards each approached the eighteen people, removing their spatial storage devices, weapons, helmets, armor, etc.

Regaining his composure, Fang Lei quickly ordered the squad members, "Hurry and help Lord Xiao tidy the battlefield; the benefits will be yours as well."

On Viska Star, a 'world' refers to the jurisdiction of a world city; each world spans hundreds of millions to tens of billions of kilometers in diameter. Even traveling a million kilometers a day, crossing a world takes a thousand days. Five hundred worlds—that's how many years?

Blade lights ignited; eighteen beautiful blade lights broke hearts, embodying an unstoppable spirit. The Eighteen Sha's eighteen members immediately fell from the air, their bodies and heads rolling across the ground, blood spurting from severed necks.

"Brother Xiao Yu, honestly, are you the hermit of a legendary great family?" Yu Qi was very excited.

Time Crystal: a treasure of the entire continent.

"Master, super master, stronger than the Lord himself!" Yu Qi murmured, "I'm really lucky!"

Fang Lei originally wanted to say these weapons and armor were priceless, but seeing Xiao Yu's indifferent expression, he guessed Xiao Yu's background might be extraordinary.

"I haven't been there." He had never even heard of the Time God Ruins, Ancestor God Tomb, or Purgatory Mountain Range, let alone visited them. "Maybe someday there will be a chance."

Such overwhelming strength, coupled with a mysterious lineage.

In Fang Lei's eyes, Xiao Yu became even more enigmatic.

"Long live Lord Xiao!" the guards cheered; these armors were so precious that even a lifetime as a guard couldn't earn enough to buy a set.

Fusing Time Crystal is something every warrior on the vast planet aspires to.

"Alas!" Xiao Yu sighed, originally not wanting more trouble, waiting to develop after gathering intel.

"Ha ha, it's like a sleepyhead handing over a pillow—what you think comes true!" Xiao Yu was delighted, while rushing forward reciting mental force to skim the book for rapid reading, learning detailed information about Time Crystal.

Within Star City, each spatial storage device is exceedingly expensive, and even wealth can't guarantee purchase. Take the Xu Family, which boasts dozens of Lingxiao-level strongmen; the family even has Lingxiao-level peak strongmen, yet the whole family possesses only two spatial wrist devices.

Time Crystal can merge into a person's body, producing unbelievably wondrous effects!

The book does not mention what miraculous abilities arise after merging Time Crystal.

The temple set the rule: only a world‑class strongman who has fused one Time Crystal qualifies to become a Lord Rank, and to govern a world, the number of fused Time Crystals must exceed three; among fused Time Crystal strongmen, in same‑tier battles, each can take on a hundred opponents.

Those secret arts and techniques Xiao Yu simply disregarded.

The guard squad members debated.

But these common‑knowledge books and encyclopedias are exactly what he now urgently needs, the best way for him to quickly understand this world.

The Eighteen Sha are long renowned; their clothing, gear, and weapons are the finest, undoubtedly priceless.

"Probably inside that spatial wrist," the tall strong man looked at Xiao Yu, "You just asked, what if I don't hand it over? My answer: death!"

These books mainly cover cultivation secret arts, techniques, and also a portion of essential knowledge and encyclopedias needed for traversing the continent.

"How could that be?" Even the previously lofty leader of the Eighteen Sha widened their eyes in terror, because the enemy appeared so fast and bizarre, almost as if Instant Teleport, even compared to previous encounters with Lord Rank strongmen, they had never been so frightened.

"Ah! Eighteen Lingxiao-level peaks were utterly defenseless, killed by time! The Xiao Yu my young master befriended must be incredibly strong, perhaps comparable to a Lord!"

However, Time Crystal is too precious and scarce.

"Kill!" The eighteen silhouettes in midair surged toward Xiao Yu and his party, and the tall strong man charged straight at Xiao Yu.

"Hmm." Yu Qi exclaimed excitedly, "I heard the Purgatory Mountain Range is five hundred worlds away from us! Even a world‑city ruler would take a very long time to get there."

"Lord, even you probably can't reach it! I heard the Eighteen Sha once fought a Lord and fled severely wounded."

Only the lofty temple occasionally bestows a Time Crystal upon a world city. Legend says Time Crystal was forged by the ancient Time God; after the Time God fell, only the temple knows the method. Rumor has it that if a world discovers a large amount of Time Crystals, all factions aware of the news will be eradicated.

Xiao Yu's gaze was like a blade; all eighteen phantom bodies stared at the Eighteen Sha members.

"There happen to be sixty million purple gold coins, plus twelve thousand Fourth Tier Beast Cores," Xiao Yu thought joyfully, "and many books—exactly what I need."

It is one of many divine crystals, possessing unfathomable abilities.

The vast continent hosts countless wondrous crystals; the path to true strength isn't only through fusing Time Crystal. There are also fire crystals, ice crystals, wind crystals, wood crystals, earth crystals, void crystals, etc.; these miraculous crystals are collectively called divine crystals.
