You Can't Handle This Power of Time

"Do these Artifact Spirit have male and female distinctions?"

As Lu Changzhi was pondering this, he saw the woman take out an incense stick from somewhere and wave it with her hand.

The next moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, the incense stick was lit.

Immediately, wisps of smoke rose from the incense, drifting slowly upwards.

Lu Changzhi glanced at the information about the incense, and a slight thought crossed his mind.

A token of love?

"So, you're planning to call for help?"

Everyone noticed this as well.

Although it's unclear what kind of cigarettes they were, judging from the current situation, it certainly had a certain ritualistic feel to it.

However, nothing happened for a short period of time after the incense stick was lit.

The woman simply stood Jingjing to the side and did nothing further.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If this woman hadn't appeared, then people could freely act within the World in the Painting.

But right now, it seems we can only watch Jingjing, and no one is taking any action.

But who knows how long or how many months it will take to get things done like this?

"I never expected the World in the Painting to turn out like this."

"It's just a pity that this Power of Time doesn't seem to be an ordinary power. I wonder if I can gain any insight from it within this limited time."

"The Tai Clan truly didn't expect that this Power of Time would be related to the Tai Clan. But how could the Tai Clan have kept such an important matter a secret?"

"If that's the case, then it seems the Tai Clan has been trying to subdue that untouchable power, and perhaps they've already succeeded?"

Some people looked at the group of people from the Tai Clan with suspicion and conjecture in their eyes.

Others, however, focused all their attention on Lu Changzhi.

Because at this moment, under their watchful eyes and perception, the other party seemed to be following the same old path as that descendant of the Tai Clan.

"It seems that once this starts, it can't be stopped."

Some people had a guess in their minds.

After all, the instigator had already disappeared, and the Power of Time was thus revealed to everyone, yet the other party was still getting younger.

Based on past experience, it seems there's only one way out: death.

Time slipped by quietly as everyone waited.

After about half an hour, Lu Changzhi had already grown to the size of a child in everyone's eyes.

At this moment, the incense stick finally changed as well.

The smoke that was gradually rising suddenly changed, condensing into a figure.

Although it was just a figure, the moment that figure materialized, everyone felt a certain sensation:

This person must be an extraordinary individual.

Since this woman spent so much time summoning them, they must be extraordinary.

Lu Changzhi's gaze also turned towards the materialized figure, and recalling what the Artifact Spirit had said earlier, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Could this be A Diao?"

"In that case, it's not about finding what you've lost."

Just as Lu Changzhi was thinking, the figure formed from smoke looked at the Power of Time not far away.

The next moment, with a "bang," the entire cloud of smoke suddenly exploded, along with the unburnt incense stick below, which also shattered.

The sudden commotion startled everyone present.

"Could it be that they were frightened by this power?"

Some people couldn't help but speculate.

Some were surprised, but then realized what was happening.

"That's quite an excited reaction, but judging from the look, it's probably not fear."

As everyone reacted, the shattered incense did not disappear; quite the opposite.

The fragments of incense, scattered in their own places, were instantly connected by their scents, forming a network of fragrance.

Then came a violent spatial fluctuation.

Brush.

The next moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, an old man stepped out.

The moment he emerged, his gaze was fixed on that mass of Power of Time.

The woman beside him finally reacted, bowing to the old man and then speaking.

"Greetings, Venerable One."

The old man didn't even look up, offering no response.

He simply raised his hand and reached out to grab the ball of Power of Time from the void, as if he wanted to take it away.

However, all the power vanished silently upon contact with the Power of Time.

Despite the fact that everyone felt the power was likely earth-shattering, they were still unable to move it in the slightest during this Power of Time.

On the contrary, everyone clearly noticed that the old man's outstretched hand, which was trying to grasp the Power of Time, was now showing signs of aging rapidly.

Seeing this, the old man showed no anger or fear whatsoever; instead, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he even laughed out loud.

"Good, good, good, it seems to have some spirit. Very good."

After saying that, he withdrew his hand and sat cross-legged before the Power of Time.

He then looked up and glanced at everyone present.

That single glance sent a chill down the spines of countless people present.

This wasn't a scrutinizing gaze; quite the opposite.

This also gave them a strong sense of terror.

The other party didn't seem interested in who they were; rather, it seemed like...

I've disturbed the other person!

Even Gu De felt a chill run down his spine at this moment, and instantly became alert.

The people who come here are probably not friendly to them!

At this moment, the old man spoke up and asked.

What's your name again?

The woman next to him immediately responded.

"Venerable One, I am A Luo."

Upon hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment, then seemed to remember something and said...

"You're searching for the Power of Time to find your A Diao, right?"

The woman nodded.

The old man then spoke again.

"You must have tried before I came. Like I told you at the beginning, you can't control the Power of Time; you can only wait for me to arrive."

"However, the Power of Time is not simple; even I need to spend some time on it."

"Now get rid of all these people in my way, and don't bother me."

Upon hearing this, the woman glanced at everyone present, seemingly analyzing the situation, before asking a question.

"Get them out?"

The old man glanced at the woman and said.

Only the dead can keep secrets.

"No, it's annihilation."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present in the World in the Painting turned extremely ugly.

They knew the visitor might have ill intentions, but they never expected their feeling would be so accurate.

They actually intended to kill them all here.

In an instant, Chu Ping'an couldn't help but look at Li Baimei again.

He opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't ask.

But he really wanted to know if this was part of Li Baimei's plan again?

When I went to the Huaxia Sect before, it felt like I was putting myself in a trap and getting myself into one. I never expected that they would use the same trick again now.
