Chapter 494: Seven-Colored Time Technique_1
The Divine War Drum was fully activated, and the spirit of a True God transformed into a colossal hand that covered the sky, intent on destroying the entire Eastern Wilderness.
However, when Senior Sister Zi Ling's brush fell, the xuan paper radiated an unparalleled aura.
Behind her, an overwhelming shadow emerged.
It seemed as if a creature from the ancient times was awakening...
It was as if a Master who controlled the heavens and the universe was reviving...
That shadow gradually took shape, and in the Sky Domain, two enormous wings appeared, with the Great Dao Laws constituting their feathers, and the charm of the Dao forming cascade after cascade!
This was a divine bird that existed only in myths and legends!
The moment it appeared, the sky of the Great Ruins Realm was torn apart by this terrifying Dao aura, and countless laws thundered!
All living beings in this world felt an incomparable sacred reverence rise in their hearts at this moment, as if facing the most ancient totem.
Endless beasts trembled; birds of the air dared not flutter their wings. This divine bird was like the sovereign of heaven and earth.
A clear chirp resounded as the divine bird flapped its wings.
Instantly, auspicious qi burst forth from heaven and earth, and an unparalleled heat wave swept across, incinerating everything in the Sky Domain.
The world-annihilating hand formed by the Divine War Drum instantly turned to ash and smoke.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion rang out atop the giant ship as the Divine War Drum shattered, like a bomb going off.
"No!"
Tie Hanhan trembled, a look of unparalleled terror flashing in his eyes in the final moment before death.
Why?! Why had the True God-grade war drum failed?
What sort of creature was born from that girl's brushstroke?
"Flee quickly!"
He exerted all his strength to block the explosion's might and threw out his son, Tie Dingsi!
Then, Tie Hanhan's body disintegrated on the spot.
"Aah—"
Tie Dingsi let out a wretched scream, still caught in the blast, his body shattering, leaving only his head to fall to the ground.
Around the giant ship where the Divine War Drum was located, every large ship exploded, and the tremors caused the very earth to quiver.
People watching this scene fell into a deathly stillness at that moment.
They were utterly stunned.
This scene... was simply beyond belief.
The Divine War Drum, the world-annihilating hand, was almost invincible in the current age...
But in front of that archaic divine bird, it was like straw in a storm!
"That... what divine bird is that?"
"Terrifying... truly terrifying... "
"Could it be the legendary... Phoenix?!"
Everyone was shaken as they gazed at the scene in the Sky Domain.
"Senior Sister Zi Ling... painted the Phoenix...?!"
Lin Jiu Zheng's expression was immensely complex.
"Senior Sister Zi Ling observed the Phoenix and has grasped some of its Dao Laws..."
Jiang Li was somewhat stunned.
And Zi Ling, at this moment, her peerless face also turned pale.
Painting this picture consumed too much of her mind and spirit.
The Phoenix was a divine bird from myth and legend, imbued with the most primal and intricate Dao Laws. To this day, she had only grasped a tiny fraction of them.
This was only possible because the Earth Chicken in the yard was very cooperative, which allowed her to gain some insights.
Manifesting it was even harder, arguably the most challenging picture she had painted since she learned to draw.
Moreover, that the shadow of the Phoenix she painted could possess such divine might—aside from the Phoenix itself being exceedingly powerful—the most crucial was that the brush, ink, and paper she used... were all produced by the small courtyard!
If any one of those were different, she couldn't have painted it, because the Phoenix's stature was too lofty, and the objects of the world simply couldn't bear it.
Zi Ling's lips revealed a faint smile; in this instant, she had become divine.
In fact, after consuming the Primal Divine Grape, she could have broken through to the Wanderer God Realm or even higher.
But that kind of breakthrough lacked an understanding of the Dao.
Now it was truly complete.
"Who dares to destroy my treasure!"
Just then, a thunderous shout fell from the Sky Domain.
In the Sky Vault, five divine silhouettes appeared, like the sovereigns over all living beings.
These were five True Gods.
The one at the forefront was none other than Luo Yi True God!
The war drum was a gift from him.
At this moment, seeing the scene before him, Luo Yi True God's expression was extremely cold, his eyes filled with anger.
"It seems that you... are the hidden powerhouses of this realm... "
Luo Yi True God, staring at Zi Ling, said, "Seize her!"
Suddenly, the five of them moved, instantly appearing around Zi Ling, surrounding her.
The Pegasus galloped with extreme speed, but the five True Gods joined hands to seal the space where she was.
Zi Ling's delicate face changed slightly; her divine power not yet restored, she couldn't break through these regulations.
"How dare you!"
"Save Senior Sister Zi Ling!"
Long Zixuan and the others shouted anxiously, charging forward.
However, with the five True Gods joining hands to seal the sky, their power was too vast.
Long Zixuan, Nan Feng, and the others had only just become Wanderer Gods; if their realms were a few small steps higher, they might have had a chance to shake them.
But not yet.
The gap between True Gods and Wanderer Gods was like a chasm, for True Gods had already attained their fruit status!
The five drew closer to Zi Ling, about to capture her.
"Zi Ling!"
At that moment, a white figure rose into the air, her figure peerless!
Yun Xi!
She took action, decisively striking against the five True Gods.
"Ants daring to strike at the Giant Dragon?"
Luo Yi True God's expression was icy as his hand fell.
Yun Xi met his attack in the air. Right now, rage was clear in her beautiful eyes, and she instinctively raised her hand.
Instantly, it seemed as if endless Dao Laws were evolving in her hand.
"That is... Seven-Colored Sunshine?!"
Below, Jiang Li and the others were all shocked, for Yun Xi's movements closely resembled the gymnastics called "Seven-Colored Sunshine" taught by their master.
"No... it's not Seven-Colored Sunshine, could it be some kind of precious art derived from it?"
Nan Feng muttered to himself.
Under everyone's gaze, in the Sky Vault, Yun Xi seemed to have forgotten everything when faced with the attack of the True God.
She acted selflessly.
Her movements, while still bearing a slight resemblance to the broadcast gymnastics, had transformed fundamentally, becoming fluid and graceful as if they were a dance ancient and supremely elegant.
At that moment, endless divine light evolved around her, the seven-colored divine light emerged, making her radiantly unparalleled.
Like the most dazzling sun in this world, at that moment, the air of Divine Path flowed around her!
She… was proving her divinity!
With a casual wave of her hand, seven-colored divine light pervaded that region of the Sky Domain.
Suddenly, as if influenced by some kind of vital breath, it seemed as though time was flowing in that realm.
Under everyone's gaze, the sky above suddenly changed, with five True Gods launching frenzied attacks, but then, they suddenly disappeared.
Zi Ling also appeared back at the original spot.
What happened?
Everyone was dumbfounded; could it be that Yun Xi had actually annihilated the five True Gods with her actions?
That's impossible!
Even if Yun Xi had become a Wandering God, the gap between her and a True God was immensely vast, and she would have difficulty facing even one, let alone five True Gods?
However, while everyone was astonished, the vibrations in the Sky Domain started up once again.
The shadows of five gods reappeared in the Sky Domain.
"Who dares destroy my treasure!"
Luo Yi True God roared, staring at Zi Ling and the others, and said,
"It seems that you... must be the hidden powerhouses of this realm..."
But as he finished speaking, Luo Yi True God suddenly jerked in shock, and each of them exchanged horrified looks, finding it utterly unbelievable.
Because this scene... had already happened before.
Had their time... flowed backward?

How could that be possible!
"What kind of witchcraft is this?"
"Affected space-time? Impossible!"
"Space is difficult to change, time eternal; who could influence time?"
They incredulously stared at Yun Xi!
Wu Dade, Long Zixuan, and the others were also in shock.
Even they... were taken aback.
Time Technique?!
"This... Is this a Dao art contained within the Seven-Colored Sunshine?"
Lin Jiu Zheng said incredulously.
"Are we and Miss Yun Xi performing the same exercise?"
Jiang Li almost began to doubt his existence.
"Junior Nonfei, master, did master secretly tutor Miss Yun Xi?!"
Wu Dade was filled with grief and indignation!
Meanwhile, in the Sky Vault, Yun Xi was also a bit bewildered.
This...
Even she herself hadn't noticed the process.
Everything that had just happened came naturally, as if it was meant to be that way, those evolutions of the Dao... seemed to have been long ingrained in her heart.
But... no matter, she turned to Zi Ling and said,
"Sister Zi Ling, come over here quickly."
Zi Ling was also in a daze, because her time had flowed backward as well, and now, upon hearing this, she was like someone awakened from a dream.
The Pegasus carried her, and in an instant, she was beside Yun Xi.
"Sister Yunxi... you're so amazing!"
Zi Ling's large eyes were filled with admiration.
Yun Xi said,
"Um... I don't know either..."
They returned to the crowd.
"Let's fight them."
"Who's afraid of whom?"
Dugu Yuqing and the others all looked up at the Sky Vault with fighting spirit surging in their eyes.
At this moment, the eyes of the five True Gods above were filled with extraordinary wariness.
A mere Wandering God, whom they would usually crush with a flick of their hand...
But now, at this moment, these young people...
Made them feel a sense of danger.
Especially since a Time Technique that could affect time had appeared...
What could their origins be?
It was unimaginable!
And at this moment.
Suddenly, a silver divine figure emerged.
He was clad in a silver robe, exuding a natural sense of superiority, and his aura made one tremble, both faint and powerful.
He looked indifferently at Yun Xi and the others.
"I never expected to see the legendary Time Technique in such a small Star Realm."
Then, he turned his gaze to Zi Ling and said,
"Have you seen the Phoenix stone carvings? To be able to comprehend such a technique from them is truly noteworthy."
The Phoenix had perished in the time and space of eternity long ago.
In the entire universe, only some extremely ancient stone carvings with few records of the Phoenix still exist.
Each of those carvings is extremely precious and occupied by the giants of the Thirty-Three Heavens!
So naturally, he assumed that Zi Ling must have seen the Phoenix stone carvings.
Now, could it be possible that such a realm as this little Star Realm hides one?
A trace of greed flickered in his eyes.
The secrets of time, the Phoenix stone carvings... this realm holds great fortune.
"Lead the way, where you come from, take me there, and I shall spare your lives," he ordered indifferently.
