Chapter 885: Time Tribulation (III)
Cain's attacks were immensely powerful as he clashed with the temporal echoes. All those entities brought to life by the Time Tribulation were not only extremely powerful, but they could tap into the flow of time and use that to predict his movements. Luckily, he could use The Flow, the Collapsing Space-Time Eye, and Virtual Sight to counter that foretelling skill.
However, it was not only the time echoes' ability to gaze into the flow of time that made them extremely dangerous but also their teamwork, as they seemed to share one single mind, all of them displaying nothing short of flawless coordination.
Despite all that, every time Cain clashed with one of the temporal echoes, his smile grew wider. There was more than raw force in his punches, and he took a piece of temporal echoes through the Gluttony Concept, slowly stealing their time essence and engraving it into his body in the form of Law Runes.
Ishmael, the Ten Swords, the Dark Emperor, Prime Minister Razputin, and everybody with a high enough cultivation to gaze into the aurora without falling unconscious were watching the battle between Cain and the temporal echoes.
It was a truly majestic sight, and they could feel how the wonders of the Law of Time manifested at an impossibly high level, which not even Essence Evolution Divine Ascension Masters could understand.
The battle between Cain and the temporal echoes lasted for five hours. While he was full of wounds and blood leaked from the corners of his mouth, Cain smiled. Now, his body was overflowed with time essence, obtained from the one he stole from the echoes and the one the Time Tribulation gave him as a reward for his victory.
Cain clenched his fists as his Collapsing Space-Time Eye glowed with a majestic light. No part of his body benefited more from the Time Tribulation tempering than the third eye, as the improvement in Cain's mastery over the Time Law would allow it to express its full potential.
Unfortunately, Cain did not have time to get too happy as the aurora's power rose again. It was time for the third phase of the Time Tribulation.
'Chrono-Warp Barrage.' Those words echoed inside Cain's mind as he remembered the description of the phenomenon in the Codex of Infinite Pathways and prepared himself as another wave of temporal force descended from the sky and surrounded him.
"¡BOOM!"
