The world descends on Sky Island: God-level talents are drawn at the beginning.

An invisible force of time emanates from the Time Keeper.

Those spiritual swords were slowly forced out!

He was actually trying to use time reversal to go back to his state a few seconds earlier!
However... as fellow controllers of the power of time, Han Xing had long been wary of this.

"The power of time is not invincible; it only has one method, and eventually someone will find a way to break it."

As his cold voice rang out.

The Nine Tidal Arrows, carrying endless waves, swept towards the Time Keeper!

This time, he also used [Time Acceleration]!
The instant the nine wave-like arrows pierced the body of the Lawkeeper, time seemed to be torn apart, emitting a piercing wail!

"Puff! Puff puff puff!"

The clock-shaped pupils of the Order Keeper suddenly shattered, and his long, silvery-white hair withered and fell off at a visible speed.

He looked down in disbelief at the nine ever-expanding spacetime vortexes on his chest.

"Impossible..." He tried to raise his hand to cast Time Reversal, but found that his body had been completely destroyed, and even a self-rescue action would trigger an even more violent backlash!
"Oh!"

The first vortex exploded, and the left half of the Order Keeper's body instantly aged into a skeleton!

"Oh!"

The second vortex erupted, and the right half of his body regressed to an infant state before rapidly decaying.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of explosions kept appearing, tearing his body into countless fragments of time.

Finally, Han Xing heard a faint sound.

"Interesting little fellow... So the power of time isn't invincible after all? I've learned something..."

"We will meet again someday in the future..."

As the words fell, all the fragments collapsed with a deafening roar!
Then, it transformed into a jade lotus heart the size of a longan.

This lotus heart is crystal clear, and its interior seems to contain a miniature world, which bursts out with a breathtaking vitality as it slowly rotates.

The surface of the lotus heart naturally forms 100,000 fine lines, each line flowing with liquid time.

The most amazing thing is the aura it emits. Just by breathing in it, one feels that one's lifespan is slowly increasing, and injuries previously eroded by time are instantly restored!
At this moment, before everyone had recovered from the death of the Time Keeper, they were all drawn to the magical lotus seed before them.

"This is……"

Qinghe tentatively raised her head, her gaze fixed on the lotus seed.

A moment later, she exclaimed in shock, "This is a lotus heart that's been around for ten thousand years! My God..."

Upon hearing the keywords "ten thousand years of lotus heart", everyone present showed surprise.

After all, they had already obtained a [Eternal Lotus Heart] before.

However, even though it's only ten thousand years old, it still has the magical effect of instantly leveling up.

This time, however, it is the [Ten Thousand Year Lotus Heart], which is many times more precious than the [Ten Thousand Year Lotus Heart].

Han Xing took a deep breath to calm his excitement.

He did not immediately go over to remove the lotus heart, but said in a deep voice: "You should begin to heal your wounds on the spot and repair the remaining power of time within your bodies."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly realized what was happening.

They stared at their bodies, half aged and half young, and gasped again!
Then they all circulated their own power to gradually adjust their bodies.

Even so, they could sense that they had lost at least ten thousand years of their lifespan in the clash between the Korean star and the time-controller.

Although it is insignificant compared to their lifespans of millions of years, it still makes everyone feel the terrifying power of time.

Even Korean stars couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the enemy they encountered this time.

Since he joined Wanxing Yongheng's ranks and emerged from thirteen years of seclusion, he has never fought with such full force as he is now.

Even when he fought Roland, although it was equally difficult, he still didn't use his two trump cards, [Time Stop] and [Time Acceleration]!

This time, in dealing with this Time Keeper, Han Xing used almost all his methods except for his trump card, the Seven Star Meteorite Core.

Only then did they manage to defeat the enemy with great difficulty!
This gives you an idea of ​​just how powerful our opponent is!
Fortunately, the Korean star ultimately won!
Moreover, it was with the strength of a high-ranking lord.

In other words, he still has unlimited potential.

If Han Xing can reach the level of a God Realm Lord, dealing with this Time Keeper will be much easier.

No... it can even kill instantly!
After all, compared to the Lord of the Divine Realm, this is quite a transformation.

With that thought, a confident light returned to Han Xing's eyes, and he walked straight ahead.

Upon arriving at the center of the lotus leaf, he reached out without hesitation and grabbed the emerald green lotus heart.

"Om-!"

The moment I held this lotus heart, a cool sensation instantly washed over me!

Immediately afterwards, boundless vitality flowed from his palms throughout his entire body.

The injuries that the Korean star sustained in the battle with the Time Keepers are now rapidly healing!
Even the physical fatigue disappeared, and I felt refreshed!
A hint of admiration appeared in his eyes: "Wow, that's amazing!"

"It seems that the effects of this lotus seed will bring quite a pleasant surprise!"

With an expectant look on his face, Han Xing quickly checked the attributes of the lotus heart.

【Item Effect 3: Lotus Heart Blessing (Learn the active skill "Fleeting Beauty", burn lotus heart energy to increase the effect of the next skill by 300%)】

(Note: This applies only to time/life-related skills)
(Special description: A lotus flower grows from a lotus leaf that is over a million years old in the origin of Tianchi Lake, taking hundreds of thousands of years to grow. Finally, a lotus heart that is 100,000 years old is formed, containing a trace of the true essence of life at the beginning of chaos. The lotus blooms for a moment, and its beauty lasts forever.)
...

"My grass!"

The Korean star instinctively gasped in surprise!

Although we already have a general idea that the effects of this 100,000-year-old lotus heart may be beyond our imagination.

But he never expected that he would have such an incredible attribute!
The Korean star took a few deep breaths to gradually calm his excitement.

"Good heavens... the effect of this 100,000-year-old lotus heart is too exaggerated..."

"It can actually restore 100% of the health of those below the God Lord level immediately, which is equivalent to having a life!"

"Swallowing this lotus heart after suffering a fatal wound will instantly restore you to full health!"

"What's even more outrageous is that this lotus heart can actually affect an Eternal-level powerhouse."

He muttered to himself, "Although it's only 50%, it's still incredibly powerful!" After all, the vitality of an Eternal-level expert is completely different from that of someone below the Eternal level!
At their level, let alone 50%, even 1% of their life points would far surpass those of high-ranking gods!
From this, one can imagine how vast the life force is contained in this lotus heart!
"Besides restoring life, it can also significantly increase level, even allowing a beginner-level god to be upgraded to the maximum level in one go!"

"The excess level can also be converted into maximum health."

"Furthermore, it can also awaken a powerful active skill, [Fleeting Beauty]..."

Han Xing swallowed hard, his gaze involuntarily drifting to his backpack.

Because there, five "Eternal Lotus Hearts" still lie quietly.

These were just harvested from the first 17 lotus leaves.

While these [Eternal Lotus Hearts] are not as effective as the [Hundred Thousand Year Lotus Hearts], they can still instantly raise a level below the God Lord level by 5.

Even a novice god can be upgraded by 3 levels!
In other words... with these 5 ten-thousand-year-old lotus hearts and 1 hundred-thousand-year-old lotus heart, Han Xing could even skip the upgrade process and break through to the intermediate-level god-lord directly from the high-level lord!

After obtaining this number, the Korean star was even eager to break through it on the spot!
However, he also knew that the current situation did not allow it.

After all, any lord needs a lot of time and a safe environment to break through a bottleneck.

The Heavenly Pool Secret Realm where they are currently located clearly does not meet the conditions for Han Xing's breakthrough.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement: "Let's wait until we get Qinghe and the others' natal lotus hearts, and then leave the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm before we start our breakthrough."

Thinking about this, Han Xing gradually regained his composure.

Then, he turned his head and looked at his teammates again.

After a period of adjustment, their bodies, which had been eroded by the power of time, have gradually returned to their normal form.

Coal Ball's fur regained its shine, the Great Beast Lord's white hair turned black, and even the rust marks on Tu Steel's body disappeared.

However, Lord Linghui, Miaoqing, Longyu, and others nearby took out their mirrors and carefully examined every corner of their bodies.

Especially one's own face.

They kept changing angles, as if afraid of leaving even a single wrinkle or gray hair...

Upon seeing that they still possessed stunning facial features and youthful figures, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on the face of the Korean star.

Although his female companions were all very strong and resilient.

But they are women after all.

No one wants to see their looks fade and them grow old.

Although it was brief, it still left them feeling shaken.

Han Xing coughed lightly, interrupting, "Everyone, are you all ready?"

"Alright, let's continue our journey."

Upon hearing the sound, everyone quickly came to their senses.

They straightened their expressions, looked at the Korean star, and nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Han Xing ordered, "Qinghe, lead the way."

"We're going now... to retrieve your and Yao Lian's natal lotus hearts."

Upon hearing the last sentence, a light simultaneously shone in Qinghe and Yaolian's eyes, and a look of longing involuntarily appeared on their faces.

Qinghe nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "Lord Hanxing, please come with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she lightly leaped up from the lotus leaf into the air, then transformed into a streak of blue light and rushed swiftly towards the lotus leaf cluster on her left.

The crowd also took to the air and quickly followed in her footsteps.

"Splash... splash..."

The sound of waves still echoes in Tianchi Lake.

Huge waves surged continuously.

And as the Korean star killed the Time Keeper, the commotion became even greater!

One after another, towering waves appeared out of nowhere, even submerging lotus leaves!

As if some kind of suppressing seal had been broken, the entire Heavenly Lake began to tremble.

However, they completely ignored these movements and continued to follow Qinghe's movements.

In a few swift movements, it traversed hundreds of lotus leaves.

Finally... they arrived at their destination.

The deepest part of this Heavenly Lake Secret Realm.

The surrounding area was covered with endless giant lotus leaves, as if they were going to fill every space in this world.

And among these lotus leaves, one can occasionally see strange lotus flowers radiating various colors of divine light.

Countless unusual fragments floated in the pool, resembling either fragments of buildings or the remains of some creatures.

Everything around seemed both sacred and somewhat terrifying!
However, what surprised them even more was the very center of Tianchi.

There, a huge lotus platform, as white as jade, floated silently.

The lotus platform is divided into twelve sections, and each section of lotus petals is engraved with different original patterns.

The first lotus petal evolves into the celestial river's rotation; the second lotus petal signifies the birth and death of all things, their withering and flourishing; the third lotus petal intertwines with the threads of destiny...

However, there was nothing above the lotus platform.

It seems that some kind of treasure should have been placed there, but the treasure has disappeared.

Seeing this, Han Xing asked in a deep voice, "Is this the Pure World Lotus Platform?"

Qinghe and Yaolian exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with emotion.

Qinghe nodded gently and said slowly, "Yes... this is where my sister and I were born."

"Originally, there should have been a twin lotus flower on top, along with a million-year-old lotus heart..."

"According to the original evolution, my sister and I should have spent another million years slowly absorbing the inherent power of the twin lotus."

"Then, the original lotus heart is integrated into one, thereby perfecting the innate [Sacred Lotus Dao Body]."

"However, due to the great battle among those powerful figures, my sister and I were forced to evolve prematurely, and even our original lotus heart sank into the pool."

"The incomplete [Sacred Lotus Body] not only fails to provide us with much help, but it also occasionally transforms into inner demons that devour us..."

"Only by retrieving the original lotus heart and fusing it can we perfect our Dao body once again."

After Qinghe finished speaking, everyone roughly understood the whole story.

"Brother Han Xing..."

Qinghe looked at him, hesitating to speak: "Our true form, the lotus heart... has already sunk to the bottom of the pond."

"And as you've seen, the water in this pool is mixed with extremely chaotic primal power; even a mid-level God Lord wouldn't dare touch it lightly..."
