Wizard, I have a game board.

Chapter 360 The Power of Time Stoppage
Inside the combined defensive water curtain, the group of seventh-tier tidal spirits stopped their efforts to wear down the treasure's defensive barrier and looked out of the water curtain in astonishment and anger.

Except for the first hundred years or so after the treasures first emerged, the way these outsiders competed for eighth-tier treasures has become almost fixed.

They usually wait until the guardians have worn down the defensive barrier of the Law Treasure and then remove the water curtain defensive barrier on their own before they come to fight for it.

But how come it has suddenly reverted to the way it was when the vortex first started spewing out treasures?

"If they're going to make their move first, let's call those guys over too."

"Yes, teach them another lesson!"

"it is good."

In just a few words, the Tide Spirits made their decision.

If they don't ask for help, other members of their kind can't get close to this area.

In their view, it would be better for outsiders to seize the treasures of the laws than for their own kind to obtain them.

Therefore, they will not call their own kind unless absolutely necessary.

After all, there are only so many slots for advancing to the Emperor level every ten thousand years. The more members of their race obtain the Law Treasure, the more they will have to fight and win again, even if they obtain the Law Treasure.

But these outsiders are too arrogant; they won't get over this mental hurdle unless they're taught a lesson.

"Ah—"

Nearly two hundred Tide Spirits simultaneously roared to the sky, and the invisible sound waves, aided by their senses, seemed to spread outwards without end.

"Crash-"

Immediately afterwards, the seemingly boundless whirlpool sea began to boil, and countless tidal spirits ranging from fourth to seventh rank surged toward this side.

Joint defense outside the water curtain.

The Tide Spirit's actions made all the seventh-tier beings tense.

"Sorry, sorry, I wasn't paying attention just now, I got distracted. I'll try again, this time I definitely won't get distracted."

"Yes, I spaced out too."

"Me too."

The seventh-tier beings who hadn't released their law-based secret techniques were embarrassed and made excuses while cursing each other in their hearts.

If half of the living beings simultaneously unleash their law-based secret techniques, the water barrier will inevitably be breached, and you can also conserve some elemental power.

But because these guys were cunning and sly, in the end, no one got the better end of it.

"You can unleash your own Law-based secret techniques this time," the cyan sphere said coldly. "Those who have already unleashed their Law-based secret techniques don't need to do it again. Anyone have any objections?"

"No comment."

"can."

"it is good."

The more than four hundred seventh-order beings who had not previously unleashed their secret techniques knew they were in the wrong and readily agreed.

If they keep dawdling, the Tide Spirits on the outer perimeter will be able to take them all, and then no one will be able to get the treasure.

"Alright, then it'll be the same as before. You all attack together in three seconds," the cyan sphere said.

Three seconds later.

Four hundred and thirteen seventh-tier beings simultaneously unleashed various laws and secret techniques, bombarding the joint defensive water curtain at the center.

The eighty-two seventh-tier beings, who had just unleashed a law-based secret technique, focused most of their attention on the ethereal breeze at the center of the joint defense barrier, preparing to unleash a series of sealing and imprisoning law-based secret techniques.

"Boom——"

Four hundred and thirteen secret techniques of law bombarded the combined defensive water curtain almost simultaneously. The excessive power of the law raged across the water curtain at the same time, causing it to collapse due to its inability to withstand the pressure.

At the center, the group of seventh-tier tidal spirits unanimously selected their targets and unleashed beams of water elemental law that they had been holding back for a long time, bombarding the seventh-tier beings they had previously locked onto.

Faced with the counterattack of the Tide Spirit, the targeted individuals sighed their bad luck while either releasing a defensive law barrier to withstand the attack, dodging it, or unleashing another law attack to clash with it.

Those who were not targeted aimed at the eighth-tier law treasure, the Light Breeze, and released various sealing and imprisoning law techniques in an attempt to acquire it.

The other group quickly moved towards the light breeze, hoping to seize the opportunity to grab it directly.

A few others unleashed attack techniques towards the ethereal wind, both to disrupt the various suppressing and sealing techniques surrounding it and to deter the fast-moving creatures from approaching easily.

The collision of various laws and secret techniques caused the void and sea areas spanning millions of miles centered on the light and ethereal wind to be completely annihilated into a chaotic void.

The tidal spirits were killed again and again, but they would revive on their own in an instant and continue to release beams of water elemental law outwards.

There's nothing they can do. No outside creatures have actually touched the treasure yet, so they can't snatch it even if they want to. They can only attack these outsiders indiscriminately to vent their anger.

The entire void instantly descended into chaos, with terrifying aftershocks of the laws emanating from everywhere.

Further out, countless tidal spirits kept surging towards this side.

It is estimated that in less than ten seconds, nearly a hundred Tier 7 Tide Spirits will be the first batch to arrive at the battlefield.

Just then, a spatial rift opened at the edge of the battlefield, and Lor's figure emerged from it.

"The time-space transgressors have arrived."

"Hehe, let them come. Anyway, the war has already started, and there's no way we can stop now. We can't steal the Light Breeze just by speed."

"Not necessarily. He only demonstrated the amplification of speed by the rudimentary form of the Time Law before, which doesn't mean it doesn't have other terrifying effects."

"Let's rely on our own abilities. This is the limit of what we can do, since we can't directly attack him."

"Yes, it depends on each person's ability."

Upon discovering Lor's arrival, the seventh-tier beings who had started the battle ahead of schedule were either relieved, worried, or full of confidence, eager to seize the Light Breeze by their own abilities.

"Ah, this." Looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of him and the approaching seventh-tier Tide Spirit behind him, Lor felt something was wrong.

Not to mention that, according to his calculations, the fluctuations of the treasures here should not completely disappear for another two years.

Even if something unexpected happens, causing the treasure's fluctuations to disappear prematurely.

Unless the Law Treasure has already been obtained by a seventh-tier being, those Tide Spirits shouldn't be in such a hurry to call upon their own kind!
The ethereal wind is still hovering in the center of the battlefield, and something just doesn't look right.

"Could it be that these guys saw those posts in the Second World and decided to forcibly activate the defensive barrier ahead of time, which enraged the Tide Spirits and caused them to directly call upon their own kind?" In a flash, Lor thought of an answer that could explain everything.

He had anticipated this situation.

After all, these seventh-tier beings are not fools; each of them could single-handedly support a large civilization if placed outside.

After seeing his methods, it would be strange if no one could come up with a way to deal with it.

"However, as long as I can seize this Light Breeze, my advantage in the subsequent competition for Law Treasures will still be significant." Lor didn't dwell too much on what was bound to happen, but instead focused his attention on the Light Breeze in the center of the battlefield. Admittedly, the competition for each eighth-tier Law Treasure might begin earlier, but only if two hundred seventh-tier players could be gathered.

Otherwise, if they can't even open the turtle shell of the Tide Spirit, then fighting over it is just nonsense.

This also requires a considerable amount of preparation time, but it is less predictable than the time it takes for the battle to begin when special information fluctuations disappear.

Even if you spend more time on the road, you still won't miss the start of the battle for several eighth-tier law treasures.

Therefore, as long as he can seize the Light Wind on the battlefield, his subsequent gains will be just as good.

"Boom—crackling—crash—"

In the center of the battlefield, hundreds of laws intertwined, leaving no gaps and shattering layers of space.

It's clear that there's no way to use spatial jump combined with time acceleration to steal the Light Breeze right now, so Lor isn't in a hurry. He just activates 6666x time acceleration and waits quietly at the edge of the battlefield.

Those guys' elemental power isn't inexhaustible. Everything on the battlefield is in slow motion in his eyes. When it comes to seizing opportunities, no one has a better advantage than him.

It doesn't matter if those Tide Spirits from the outer perimeter come; at worst, we can just seize opportunities while roaming the battlefield.

Once those tidal spirits entangle the other seventh-tier beings, making the situation even more chaotic, he might have a greater chance to seize the Light Breeze.

Ten seconds passed quietly.

The first batch of ninety-seven seventh-tier Tide Spirits entered the arena, entangled some of the seventh-tier creatures that were releasing imprisonment and sealing techniques and causing trouble with attack techniques on the outer perimeter of the battlefield.

Those that remain can still maintain the secret technique of the central law of the battlefield.

Lor used a spatial jump to evade the Tide Spirit that was coming to find him, and continued to wait for an opportunity.

Fifteen seconds later, a second batch of 237 seventh-tier Tide Spirits, along with nearly 10,000 sixth-tier Tide Spirits, arrived in quick succession, making the battlefield even more chaotic.

The frequency of law fluctuations in the center of the battlefield was greatly reduced. Several extremely fast seventh-order beings tried to approach the ethereal wind, but were ultimately suppressed by a series of binding and sealing secret techniques and blasted into nothingness.

After using the primordial laws to revive, they ran outwards like madmen.

They were killed more than ten times by various laws and secret techniques before they were finally able to escape the center of the battlefield. They were all extremely frustrated and full of regret.

Lor remained aloof, observing the situation; it wasn't his time to enter the fray yet.

Thirty seconds later.

More than 500 more seventh-tier Tide Spirits entered the battlefield, while the number of sixth-tier and lower-tier Tide Spirits reached several million.

The densely packed tidal spirits completely divided the battlefield, and the frequency of the law fluctuations in the center of the battlefield was reduced by a large margin, making it almost impossible to continue.

"Now!" Lor seized the opportunity when several attack techniques were unleashed simultaneously, clearing all the binding and sealing techniques and preventing any new binding and sealing techniques from being released. He then gently pointed towards the center of the battlefield.

Time-stop property activated!

Spatial extension feature, activated!

Within a one-millimeter radius of the very center of the ethereal breeze, time seemed to freeze for a moment before instantly returning to normal.

The Time Stop property can freeze the target for 23.3 seconds. The effect of stopping the target is reduced for beings or objects whose law strength is higher than the rating.

Compared to the strength of the laws inherent in the ethereal wind itself, Lor's time-stopping property, even with the enhancement of the spacetime sand, is still insignificant.

This scene was naturally within his expectations. He released Time Stop to the Light Breeze, not to stop the Light Breeze, but to enhance its subsequent spatial extension properties.

As the spatial extension property was incorporated into the time-stopping range, the time-stopping range, which originally covered only a one-millimeter radius, suddenly expanded, extending to a million-mile radius of void in an instant.

However, Lor's consumption of spacetime elements was still about the same as maintaining a time freeze within a one-millimeter radius.

At this moment, within a radius of one million miles centered on the Light Breeze, everything except the Light Breeze Law Treasure itself fell into a state of stillness.

All the seventh-order beings and seventh-order tidal spirits within the time-stopped area were frozen in place, their instinctive attempts to revive using the power of the law's origin were interrupted.

Even if a seventh-order being were to unleash various laws and secret techniques at this moment, they would all be frozen at the edge of the time-stopping domain.

Let alone disrupting the battlefield around Light Breeze, it can't even get close to Light Breeze.

Immediately afterwards, Lor cast a spatial jump spell directly towards the edge of the ethereal wind, easily capturing it with a gravity spell. Instead of returning the way he came, he leisurely reopened a spatial rift.

Target: Beyond the thirteen spatial nodes.

When Lor's figure disappeared, the seventh-tier beings and tide spirits outside the area affected by the time freeze finally reacted.

"The ethereal breeze has vanished!"

"What was that just now???"

Why did they suddenly stop?

“This is the power of time!”

"Can outsiders even control the laws of time?"

"A time-space transcendent being has actually mastered even this rudimentary form of the laws of time?!"

"I know the Time faction is powerful, but isn't it a bit excessive to be this powerful?"

"Why bother robbing it?"

Whether they were seventh-tier beings or tide spirits, they were all mentally shattered by the sight of the frozen space-time in the very center of the battlefield.

With beings that can control time existing, how can they possibly compete for the treasures of the laws?
I'm afraid that once that person arrives, the ownership will be decided.

Three full seconds passed before creatures began to break free from the area covered by the time freeze. They looked around and saw the Tide Spirits and seventh-tier creatures still frozen in place, as well as the vanished eighth-tier Law Treasure, Light Breeze. Their heads were buzzing.

"Let's go, there's no point in getting entangled with these tide spirits any longer." After breaking free from the time-stopped cyan sphere and looking around to understand what had just happened, he sighed and transmitted his voice to the silver dragon.

"Hmm," the silver dragon outside responded dully.

They had been guarding this place for nearly five hundred years, and originally thought they had a close 10% chance of seizing the treasure of the laws.

As a result of the unexpected methods used by those who transcend time and space limits, all hope was lost.

"Let's go too."

"Let's go."

"From now on, when we see that guy come, we can give up fighting him. There's no hope at all."

"Yes, he's even mastered time-stopping, and with the added benefit of time acceleration, who can possibly beat him?"

The group of seventh-tier beings looked somber and retreated, while simultaneously guarding against the entanglement of the Tide Spirit.

Unexpectedly, the Tide Spirits completely ignored them, a reaction quite different from their usual behavior after seizing the treasures of the laws.

Clearly, they hadn't fully recovered from the shock of seeing someone controlling the laws of time, and had no time to pay attention to us.
