Chapter 380 Time Blade
Lin Hanzhou exhaled a long breath of turbid air. The breath did not dissipate in the air, but strangely lingered for a moment before slowly turning into white mist.
He looked inward at himself.
The once golden, shimmering little figure of the spirit had now undergone a complete transformation.
On that golden background, there were ten thousand silver-white Dao marks densely covering the surface.
They are not piled up haphazardly, but rather, like a precise circuit board, they form a perfect energy cycle system.
These ten thousand Dao marks are like ten thousand tentacles, deeply rooted in the soul, constantly resonating with the supreme Dao of Time in the universe.
"Is this the source of power for a ninth-tier expert?"
Lin Hanzhou clenched his fist, a flash of understanding crossing his eyes.
"I see."
"The so-called Dao traces are actually the 'interface' or 'circuit' that connects to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is like a super power plant with infinite energy, and the cultivator's body is like a battery."
"By inscribing Dao traces on their divine souls, cultivators gain more interfaces connecting to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and thus can mobilize a terrifying amount of power from Heaven and Earth!"
This fundamental improvement made Lin Hanzhou feel an unprecedented surge of power.
Once the theory is understood, the next step is naturally to put it into practice.
Lin Hanzhou got up from the bed and scanned the living room.
"Let me try and see just how far these ten thousand time traces can go."
His gaze fell upon a potted plant on the windowsill.
It was a potted evergreen plant that he bought casually to decorate his room; it was very resilient and remained green all year round.
"Time...accelerates."
With a thought, the Dao traces on Lin Hanzhou's soul instantly lit up.
An invisible wave instantly enveloped the small area where the pot of evergreen grass was located.
The next second, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The evergreen grass, which had been motionless, suddenly began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Sprouting, unfolding leaves, growing taller...
In just a few breaths, it grew from a small grass half a foot tall into a lush plant drooping to the ground, even blooming with small purple flowers. Then the flowers withered and seeds were produced...
Finally, the leaves begin to turn yellow, wither, and shrivel.
In less than half a minute.
This evergreen plant, which could have lived for several more years, completed its life under Lin Hanzhou's watchful gaze, turning into a pile of withered yellow powder.
Just a centimeter away from that potted plant, the air remained fresh, the table was still brand new, and nothing had changed.
"This is local time acceleration..."
Lin Hanzhou looked at the pile of powder, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.
He just accelerated the flow of time in that area by at least hundreds of thousands of times!
"Try this one."
Lin Hanzhou picked up a glass of water from the table and casually tossed it into the air.
The water glass fell towards the ground due to gravity.
"slow."
Lin Hanzhou spoke the truth and lightly tapped his finger.
hum!
The falling water glass seemed to have suddenly stumbled into a pool of extremely viscous glue.
Its descent speed instantly slowed to a snail's pace, or even came to a near standstill.
What used to be a one-second landing process could now take an hour.
"still!"
With another order from Lin Hanzhou.
The water glass froze completely in mid-air.
It wasn't held up by telekinesis, nor was it blown away by the wind; rather, the "point in time" in which it existed was forcibly paused.
Even the dust particles floating around the water glass remained still.
This absolute sense of control fascinated Lin Hanzhou.
"Snapped!"
He snapped his fingers, dispelling his supernatural powers.
"Splash!"
The water cup instantly resumed its original speed, smashed on the ground, and shattered into pieces.
"Very strong...but it also has limitations."
Lin Hanzhou calmed down and began to analyze the energy and feelings he had just experienced.
"First of all, it's extremely taxing. Just in that short time, a quarter of my divine essence was gone."
"Secondly, the range. With my current ten thousand Dao traces, at full power, I can probably cover an area of about a hundred meters in radius. Any larger, and the effect will be diminished."
"Most importantly... is the target."
Lin Hanzhou frowned slightly.
He could sense that the reason he could do whatever he wanted just now was because the potted plant and the cup were ordinary objects without any cultivation.
They are as fragile as paper in the face of the laws of time.
But what if it were a strong person of the same level as him?
"If we were facing an eighth-level, tenth-level, or even ninth-level expert."
"Their resistance to the laws of nature is extremely strong. If I were to apply time acceleration or freezing to them, the resistance I would encounter would increase exponentially."
"If it's someone whose cultivation level is higher than mine, such as a true ninth-tier old monster, or a pseudo-immortal..."
"I'm afraid that as soon as I unleash this move, it will be directly dispersed by the opponent's powerful aura, and I might even suffer a backlash."
This is what is known as "overpowering all techniques with sheer force".
In the face of absolute power, fancy techniques are easily rendered ineffective.
Unless his time law is strong enough to crush the opponent's cultivation.
"However, this is only the most basic application."
Lin Hanzhou smiled slightly and extended his right index finger.
"The real killer move is that..."
As he focused his mind, the ten thousand silver Dao marks on his soul suddenly began to tremble violently, and then shot out a beam of silver light, which gathered at his fingertips.
sizzle-
The surrounding space began to groan under the strain.
A dazzling silver light condensed at the fingertip.
Immediately afterwards, the silver light quickly elongated and thinned, eventually transforming into a throwing knife about three inches long, as thin as a cicada's wing, completely transparent yet gleaming with silver light.
It has no physical form; it is entirely compressed from the pure laws of time.
It hovered quietly at the fingertip, exuding no murderous aura, as beautiful as a work of art.
But Lin Hanzhou could clearly sense that this small flying knife contained a terrifying rule that could cause all things to wither.
This is the divine power he unlocked when he reached ten thousand Dao traces—the Time-Flying Blade.
This supernatural power ignores physical defenses and spiritual energy shields, directly striking at the target's lifespan.
Those who are stabbed will have their lifespan forcibly shortened.
"go."
Lin Hanzhou flicked his finger.
There was no sound of it cutting through the air because it was too fast; the sound couldn't keep up with it.
It could even be said that it reached its destination the instant it took off.
The Time Blade instantly pierced through a fifth-order alloy steel plate used for strength testing in the corner of the room.
There were no sparks, no explosion.
The alloy steel plate, which was said to be impervious to even nuclear bombs, did not shatter the moment the flying blade passed through it; instead, it rusted.
The area around the hole that was hit was instantly covered with mottled rust, as if it had endured thousands of years of wind and rain. Finally, with the slightest touch, it turned into iron filings and fell down in a flurry.
"This is the power of the Time Blade..."
"It's not physical damage, but the erosion of time."
