Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 399 The Gold Pocket Watch and Appearance
'Abandoned River of Time' mystery, the core area.

If the shallow, middle, and deep areas of the entire Time Secret Realm are filled with increasingly intense time disturbances, the core area is relatively calm, but the power of time here is also much higher than other areas.

There are large crystal clusters everywhere, some of them are blue-gold, some are dark-gold, some are purple-gold...

If the starry sky is colorful black, then the crystal clusters here are colorful gold!

Under these crystal clusters, it is not ordinary soil, but a large piece of golden sand, all of which are [Sands of Time].

From time to time, there will be streamers flashing above the crystal clusters, and occasionally these streamers will spread between different crystal clusters, as if to convey some kind of message.

At this time, a stream of light suddenly flashed on a huge and colorful crystal cluster located in the core area.

After a while, as if being summoned by some kind, countless streamers of light began to converge on a smaller crystal cluster next to it, gradually forming a golden silhouette about ten meters away.

The figure stepped forward, but seemed unable to adapt to the current timeline, dragging out a series of phantoms.

Each of these phantoms is the real him, but the relative time they are in is different, and they each do different movements, and the figure in the front moves very fast for a while, and moves very slowly for a while, which is extremely uncoordinated.

After a short period of adaptation, the figure slowly accepted the current timeline, and the phantoms behind him also disappeared one by one. At this time, he just came to the huge colorful crystal cluster.

"Gee...evil...elder...old man, you...call me?"

"..."

"Outsiders? Do I need to expel them?"

"..."

"Yes, following your instructions, I will observe him and pass on his information. But what if he tries to approach the Crystal Ring?"

"..."

"Yes! I understand!"

The golden figure got up and headed towards the periphery of the crystal ring land, which is the core area of ​​the Time Secret Realm.

…………

"Sure enough, what Kieran said is correct. From the perspective of collecting resources, the time turbulence in the middle area is the most cost-effective place."

Lando, who had been wandering in the deep area for nearly ten days, still found nothing, and could not help complaining.

Of course, it’s not entirely true that he got nothing, at least he also collected a small half bottle of [Sands of Time], which can be regarded as consolation.

In the black soil in the deep area, there is still a lot of [Sands of Time].

As for the natural disasters of time in the deep area that Kieran said, even the most common time turbulence, Lando has never encountered any of them so far.

"Om!~"

Just when Lando was sighing boredly, a distinct humming sounded in his arms. Lando's complexion changed, and he quickly took the anchor pointer in his hand. At this time, the pointer in the crystal ball was vibrating rapidly, and the vibration amplitude was higher than before. Any time is much more violent.

Time flies!And it is the turbulent flow of time in the deep area!

Really said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived!
Thinking of what Kieran had said before the grand arcanist of the second stage could avoid it, Lando didn't have the idea of ​​facing the natural disaster of time to this level.

Just when he wanted to evade in advance, there was another sudden meal.

Taking out the gold pocket watch from his pocket, the pointer on the pocket watch has deflected at some point, and the direction it is now pointing to is the direction that the anchor pointer predicts that the turbulent flow of time is coming.

"Is this reminding me to avoid it in advance? Or is it guiding me to go there?"

Just as Lando was thinking, the black 'wave' had already swept to a place visible to the naked eye, he shook his head, after all, he didn't have the idea of ​​taking risks for it, and planned to withdraw directly.

But abruptly, as if sensing the approaching turbulence of time, the gold pocket watch released a layer of pale golden light that enveloped Lando.

At this moment, the time disturbance that had already begun to affect Lando suddenly disappeared.

It's as if the outside world is full of storms, but he is in a strong fortress. No matter how the outside wind blows and rains, I will not move!

This is? !
Lando stared at the gold pocket watch in amazement, and after thinking for a while, he temporarily stopped thinking about leaving, because he vaguely felt that the light golden shield cast by the gold pocket watch could block the invasion of the turbulent flow of time.

The energy consumed is all the power of time collected by the gold pocket watch along the way, and as the turbulent flow of time approaches, the efficiency of collecting the power of time by the gold pocket watch also increases, which makes it not only not consumed, but The speed at which energy is accumulated has been increased.

A moment later, the turbulence of time swallowed Lando completely.

"Crack! ~Crack!~"

The light golden shield is like a substance, not only blocking all the influence of the turbulent flow of time, but even the blowing sand can't get close to Lando.

The black soil will be bounced away when it gets close to the light golden shield, and the golden [Sands of Time] will be adsorbed on the shield, and then turned into pure energy to be absorbed.

Lando did not act rashly, but waited quietly in place.

He noticed that at the top of the dial of the gold pocket watch, that is, at the 12 o'clock position, a vague icon was slowly condensing out.

This is... a storm?
Time storm?Time turbulence? !

A day later, the turbulent flow of time whizzed by, and the pale golden shield covering Lando also quietly dissipated.

Lando played with the gold pocket watch in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, thoughtful.

At this time, the gold pocket watch has changed slightly compared with before.

First of all, the pointer on the dial has lighted up slightly, shining golden light.

It seems to point to the direction of the chaotic flow of time...

Do not!
Or it should be said that it seems to point to the direction of the natural disaster of time!
Although the latter was just Lando's guess, his spiritual premonition told him that it should be the case.

An icon resembling a storm appeared at twelve o'clock on the dial. This icon referred to the turbulent flow of time, or the storm of time!
And when Lando points the pointer to this storm icon, he can activate this ability through the gold pocket watch to create a time storm.

Of course, the energy paid was not Lando's own energy, but...

Lando looked at the golden river flowing on the watch cover. Compared with before, the area on the golden river from the left was filled with about one-tenth of the area, which seemed to represent the energy storage scale of the gold pocket watch itself.

So, this gold pocket watch is a time magic device that can inscribe natural disasters of time and use the power of time stored in it? !
This Xiaojin... really gave a big gift!

In any case, the gold pocket watch is indeed a powerful time item. If it falls into the hands of a great arcanist like Zilan, it may directly increase the opponent's strength by a level.

Even if Lando can't replenish energy with his own strength, this is still a very powerful trump card for Lando.

After all, the law of time is one of the strongest ranks in the heavens and worlds!

Looking at the other direction faintly pointed by the pointer in the gold pocket watch, Lando walked forward without hesitation.

Not long after Lando left, a golden figure appeared at the place where he had just stopped. It was the time life that had been ordered by the elders to come to observe Lando.

Seeing the image radiance flashing in the pupils of the golden figure, it reflected Lando's appearance in the turbulent flow of time.

The golden figure's eyes narrowed, and all his attention was focused on the gold pocket watch in Lando's hand.

this is? !

A golden stream of light emitted from the golden figure, following the veins of time, it was connected to the Elder Time Life located in the core area in an instant.

…………

As time went by, Lando felt more and more at ease with the deep area of ​​the Time Secret Realm, which even grand arcanists feared like a tiger.

Because he discovered that the light golden shield emitted by the gold pocket watch can indeed block the invasion of various natural disasters of time, and at the same time, it can also imprint and absorb the power of these natural disasters of time for his own use.

But it is worth noting that not all natural disasters of time can absorb more energy than the shield consumes like time turbulence, and some of them cannot make ends meet.

At this time, there are already five engravings on the gold pocket watch, they are...

The storm imprint representing the storm of time, the imprint of stillness representing the stillness of time, the imprint of acceleration representing the acceleration of time, the imprint of deceleration representing the deceleration of time, and the imprint of history that can summon past projections.

Among them, the agglomeration of historical imprints is derived from the "afterimage of time". As for the stronger "corridor" and "reincarnation of time and space", Lando has not yet encountered the two natural disasters of time.

Originally, according to Lando's previous thinking, no matter what kind of natural disasters of time, they must be able to hide, let alone those highlighted by Kieran.

And now Lando just wished that he could meet him sooner, so that he could use that ability for himself!

Naturally, he also did a little experiment on the power of these engravings.

Among them, the historical engraving derived from the "time afterimage" can summon the projection of the past, but there is one of the most important key points, because Lando itself does not have the ability of time, and the summoning of the historical projection is entirely dependent on the gold pocket watch ability, so those 'past' cannot be summoned until the gold pocket watch is activated.

And no matter whether it is a person or a thing, only one can be summoned at a time, and if you want to summon it again, you must disperse the previous one.

And if Lando wants to use the gold pocket watch to summon the past projection of something, he must have the gold pocket watch record the information of that item, so for Lando, this ability is currently the most concise and efficient way to use it. It is to summon his own projection, which is equivalent to directly doubling his combat power!
You must know that although projections in the past could not reach Lando's true strength, the superposition of spiritual paths is by no means as simple as one plus one!
What Lando thought of was the pair of twin sisters he met in the Mechanical Secret Realm.

At that time, they relied on special means to possess the power of the second stage grand arcanist in advance.

However, the reason why the two sisters were able to leapfrog was mainly because their talents and paths perfectly complemented each other. If Lando wanted to leapfrog, it was obviously impossible to rely solely on the spiritual path.

Lando glanced at a loaded soul weapon...

【Disrael God of Desire】!
perhaps……

Hey, the research plan feels like it's piling up!
Withdrawing his gaze, he temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

There is nothing to say about the acceleration engraving and deceleration engraving. In Lando's view, these are the basic applications of the time ability.

Lando can adjust the rate and duration of acceleration and deceleration by using the power of time.

The static engraving is a bit interesting. At first Lando thought it was another effect of the deceleration engraving to the extreme, but after actually using it, he realized that it was not. It was actually an ability to completely freeze time and return it to zero. .

It's a bit like the effect of [Sleep of Sleep] after it fully takes effect, but it doesn't have the characteristic of being permanent in time.

In addition, the basic consumption of static engraving is more than ten times that of acceleration engraving and deceleration engraving, which also proves the extraordinaryness of this ability from the side.

As for the storm seal that Lando obtained first, the effect after testing is also very good. Although it is impossible to create a time turbulence like that in the deep area even if the power of time in the gold pocket watch is completely consumed, creating a It is still very easy to control the time storm in a small area.

Looking at the golden river that has been filled to one-third of the scale, Lando is quite satisfied.

The power of time that this small gold pocket watch can hold is considerable, as long as it is not too wasteful, filling it all up is enough for Lando to use for a long time.

The next step is to find those horrible time disasters as much as possible, leave engravings on the gold pocket watch, and fill up the golden river by the way!

Just when Lando was about to move, he stopped again.

His eyes turned in a certain direction, as if waiting for something.

After a while, a ray of golden light began to condense, and a ten-meter-high golden figure appeared.

The image of this person is composed of some kind of flowing golden liquid. Although the face is somewhat blurred, the facial features can still be discerned.

He seems to be standing there, but it seems that he has straddled different time dimensions, giving him a sense of etherealness and unreality.

In fact, not long after Lando entered the deep area, he sensed that there was an existence watching him secretly, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, this place is very close to the private land of Time Life. Although it is uncomfortable to be observed and monitored by the other party, Lando can understand it.

Anyway, he didn't intend to go to the core area of ​​the Time Secret Realm to find time resource treasures, engrave the time natural disaster engraving, and recharge the gold pocket watch.

When Lando's stay in the secret realm is almost over, he will leave.

but now……

Seeing the time life in front of his eyes, maybe the previous plan was a bit different. The other party's intention to come probably has something to do with the gold pocket watch. The only thing that makes Lando a little uncertain is that he doesn't know whether the other party is benevolent or malicious. .

Although from the point of view of the other party's direct appearance, it is possible to see good intentions, but this is not absolute.
