Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 948 Time confusion
Yes, after searching in this small world for so long, everyone encountered a 'living' monster for the first time!
Ye Xuan had been speculating before that since there were so many strange corpses of monsters, there must be living things in this small world. Now that they really encountered one, instead of being frightened, everyone was somewhat happy because maybe they could find some clues from the monsters.

Within a few breaths, a figure as big as a yellow cow rushed out from the other side of the mountain. It was a strange monster that looked six parts like a wolf and four parts like a deer. There was a blue light flashing in its eyes. After it appeared, it did not stop at all and rushed towards Ye Xuan and others with a roar.

Judging from its aura, the monster that suddenly appeared was only at the late emperor level, so it was nothing to be afraid of.

"I'll do it!" Tiedan flashed forward to meet him. Ever since he came to this small world, he had been greatly irritated by all kinds of 'fake' monster corpses and spiritual materials. He was full of resentment and now used this monster as an object to vent his anger.

Tiedan is a saint, so it is naturally easy for him to deal with an emperor-level monster. Therefore, everyone didn't pay much attention to him and stayed where they were to watch the battle.

But soon, everyone found out that they were wrong!
"Ah!!" When the monster was only a few hundred feet away from Tiedan, it suddenly howled wildly, purple light flashed on its body, and its speed suddenly increased several times incredibly. In the blink of an eye, it flashed in front of Tiedan, and one of its sharp claws cut through the air and tore towards Tiedan's body!

"Ugh~~" Tiedan was stunned. A green light flashed under his feet and he dodged the attack in a very awkward manner by turning sideways. However, he was exposed to a bigger flaw because he lost his balance.

The monster did not miss this flaw. When its attack missed and passed by Tiedan, its long tail swept out like a sharp whip and lashed towards Tiedan's head. If it hit Tiedan, he would probably be seriously injured if not killed.

"Zheng!!"

Fortunately, Tiedan was not alone. At this critical moment, a loud sword sound came from the side. Before the sound stopped, a black sword energy fell from the sky and landed squarely on the monster.

“Boom!!” “Ah!!”

With a muffled sound, the monster howled and flew backwards. After flying more than a hundred feet, it landed on the ground with a bang, creating a large hole. When it struggled to get up, it found that the black flames on its body could not be extinguished...

How could a mere emperor-level monster resist the Shura Flame? With miserable howls, the monster became completely silent in a moment.

Tiedan patted his chest with lingering fear, muttering: "I almost capsized in the ditch! It was a close call..."

Tie Ke looked at the corpse of the monster in flames and asked in surprise, "Is this really an emperor-level monster? The power it burst out in that instant is probably not worse than that of the fourth level of the Saint level, right? What's going on?"

"When it first came out, the aura it displayed was indeed that of an emperor. As for the combat power it burst out at that moment, it was indeed at the fourth level of the emperor. Perhaps it was some kind of innate skill..." Ye Xuan touched his chin and speculated. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he changed his words, "Or, it may be due to some other special reason..."

As he spoke, he waved his right hand, and the black flames that wrapped around the monster's corpse rolled slightly, turning the already charred corpse into ashes, and then the purple demon pill inside flew back into his hand.

Everyone was about to ask what Ye Xuan meant by the following sentence, but when they saw the demon pill, they were all stunned. Bing Yu said in surprise: "Saint-level demon pill?! What's going on? Is this a saint-level demon beast?!"

Ye Xuan frowned slightly. "No, at least I can be sure that the monster 'itself' is really only at the late emperor level, but its demon core is at the third level of the saint level. This should be the reason why its strength can increase so suddenly."

Tian Yin Xuan Nu immediately thought of the many dead monsters she had encountered before, and said in amazement: "Before, the high-level flesh body was matched with the low-level monster pill, but now it's the other way around, the low-level flesh body is equipped with a high-level monster pill?! Why is this happening?"

Ye Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said coldly, "Isn't this situation... similar to the rumored 'rejuvenation' phenomenon?!"

After he reminded them, the faces of the others changed slightly. Tie Ke said solemnly, "Indeed, if we connect the two, it is very likely related to the rumored incident. So, the reasons for the strange situations we have seen along the way are the same as those of the rumored incident? The source... is this small world?!"

"Death from decay and 'rejuvenation'... are all related to 'time'." Ye Xuan's face looked a little ugly, and he murmured, "It seems to be 'time disorder'?"

There are many different opinions about the strange phenomenon in the Falling Phoenix Valley in the Tianfeng Mountains, but one of them is the most mainstream, which is that the "time" in the Falling Phoenix Valley has become "disordered" for some unknown reason. This is not the first case, and there are many such cases recorded in history.

Ye Xuan possesses the law of time, and he had some doubts about it before.

"Time is messed up!" Everyone's faces turned pale.

Ye Xuan nodded and explained, "The phenomenon of time disorder is extremely rare. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is 'uncommon once in a million years'. However, if it is in the 'small world', this phenomenon will be more likely to occur than in the 'outside world'. Assuming that the small world we are in now is not as 'perfect' as we imagined, if there is a problem with its 'law of time', it will cause 'time disorder'. The speed of time may be accelerated by several times, or even a thousand years in an instant, or it may reverse..."

Ye Xuan's eyes flickered as he looked into the distance: "The dead monsters we encountered were affected by the time disorder and aged to death in a very short period of time. Also, the spiritual materials could not withstand the rapid growth and eventually decayed! And this monster was affected by the 'time reversal' and appeared to be 'rejuvenated'. However, it was originally a Saint-level monster. Perhaps its endurance was extremely strong, or perhaps it was affected less, so its body only regressed to the Emperor-level state, but its demon pill was not affected!"

"..."

After Ye Xuan's explanation, everyone fell silent.

They didn't expect Ye Xuan to know the laws of time so well. Although they were not time martial artists, after hearing Ye Xuan's analysis, they thought more and more that it was very likely to be the case. Then everyone felt relieved and scared, and at the same time, there was an unshakable fear. Fortunately, they had been here for so long and had not encountered the situation of "time disorder". The fear was that they didn't know when this disaster would come, and once they encountered it, it would be very dangerous...

"We can't waste any more time!" Ye Xuan retracted his gaze and said, "We don't need to worry about the monsters and spiritual materials anymore! We should directly look for the 'Heart of the Realm' or the exit. We must leave here as soon as possible!!"

He turned his head and looked at the Five-Leafed Cattail not far away. He waved his right hand, and a holy force rolled up the elixir and flew it back into his hand.

There is no decay at all!

Ye Xuan simply turned his hand and put away the elixir, "Let's go!"

"Yo!!!"

However, just as everyone was about to leave, a strange cry suddenly sounded, and at the same time, a strong aura of a demon beast enveloped them...

Everyone's expression changed, and they looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a 'dark cloud' coming quickly from a distance. After two breaths, they finally saw clearly that it was not a 'dark cloud' at all, but an extremely huge flying monster! !
"It's Xuan Mo Xiao!!" Tie Ke's eyes were solemn. "The Holy Realm is perfect!"

"Did it attract the monster from the fight just now?" Ye Xuan frowned and said, "It's a flying monster from the Saint level... This is a bit troublesome!"

Everyone looked at Ye Xuan, waiting for him to make a decision. Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said decisively: "There is no time to tangle with it! Let's go!"

Everyone flew directly into the sky and fled away.

"Boom boom boom!!"

As soon as everyone left the mountain, countless huge wind blades fell from the sky, shaking the ground. Looking back, they saw that the mountain had been flattened...

Feeling the powerful attack force, everyone's heart tightened. Tie Ke said in shock and anger: "It's not the perfect saint level... it's the great saint level! My God! This black ink owl is the same as the monster just now! The real strength is far beyond the surface!"
