Chapter 1608 Comprehending Divine Powers Translator: Legge The Dragon Phoenix True Body was alarmed. The power of Barren could not defend against the Great Dark Technique either and was pulled continuously towards the gigantic pitch-black vortex! At the same time, the darkness enveloped the Dragon Phoenix True Body. He could clearly sense his blood qi and Essence Spirit power being extracted from his body and surging towards the darkness. On the other side, Patriarch Divine Duel brought out his gigantic golden sword once more and charged! If this continued, the Dragon Phoenix True Body would most likely be killed by two God race Patriarchs in less than three breaths! Acold glint flashed through the Dragon Phoenix True Body’s eyes as he condensed his spirit consciousness. Suddenly, a scarlet dragon scale the size of a palm flew out from his glabella in the shape of a crescent. The entire void trembled when the dragon scale appeared! The world seemed to have fallen into silence! Even the living beings of the ten thousand races who were afar sensed an extremely terrifying aura from the dragon scale, let alone the two Patriarchs, Divine Frost and Divine Duel, who were right in front of it! it was the Reverse Scale of a dragon! The two Patriarchs, Divine Frost and Divine Duel, exchanged glances without hesitation. Both of them condensed their Essence Spirits right away and released their Essence Spirit secret skills! Two golden beams burst forth and struck the dragon scale instantly! mmediately after, the two Patriarchs, Divine Frost and Divine Duel, shuddered and shrieked. Blood vessels appeared in their widened eyes and they had pained expressions! Blood drained from the faces of the two Patriarchs! atriarch Divine Duel’s figure paused as well and he frowned. His features were contorted as though he was undergoing immense torture! Thin tears appeared on the Essence Spirits of the two Patriarchs in their consciousnesses! Even Patriarch Divine Frost’s Great Dark Technique nearly dissipated! “Great Healing Technique!” The two God race Patriarchs growled and released another greater divine power! The moment the greater divine power descended, milky white beams of light shone from the two God race Patriarchs with immense vitality. Their auras gradually stabilized under the milky white light. The Dragon Phoenix True Body frowned slightly, feeling troubled. That was the benefit of comprehending many divine powers! The comprehension of an additional divine power would not only bring about a baptism for the body, bloodline and Essence Spirit, causing a massive increase in strength, it can also avoid danger completely! if not for that Great Healing Technique, there was a high chance that the Essence Spirits of the two God race beings would explode and they would die! n the consciousnesses of the two Patriarchs, milky-white powers enveloped their Essence Spirits, temporarily mending the tears on their Essence Spirits. However, it was extremely difficult to heal such wounds to the Essence Spirit. The Great Healing Technique divine power could only save the two Patriarchs and stabilize their injuries. n other words, although the two Patriarchs of the God race survived, their Essence Spirits were severely injured and their cultivations could not advance in the future! “Desolate Martial!” Endless hatred surged in Patriarch Divine Duel’s eyes as he said coldly, “You destroyed my cultivation. I’m going to tear you to pieces!” He was at his peak and had more than 100,000 years to live. ff not for this accident, he would definitely advance to the late-stage or perfected Mahayana realm in the future! There was a high chance that he could even become an Emperor in the future! But now, the Reverse Scale of the Dragon Phoenix True Body had severed his future hope! ff he comprehended a supreme divine power that could heal, it might be able to heal his Essence Spirit injuries. However, the problem was that his Essence Spirit was severely injured. It was almost impossible for him to comprehend a greater divine power, let alone a supreme divine power! “Kill him!” atriarch Divine Frost narrowed his eyes and said hatefully as well. To begin with, he had already passed his peak and had less than 50,000 years to live. However, after experiencing the reduction of Barren and being severely injured by the Reverse Scale, he only had slightly more than 30,000 years to live. n that few breaths, he seemed like he had aged considerably! atriarch Divine Frost channeled his Great Dark Technique and it enveloped the Dragon Phoenix True Body. The Dragon Phoenix True Body stood on the spot motionlessly with a lost expression. He was in deep thought and seemed like he had given up on resisting. When they saw that, Patriarch Wu Tian and the others heaved a sigh of relief and finally relaxed. “Fufu, Desolate Martial has already missed his final chance to escape.” “That’s right. If Desolate Martial retreated the moment he severely injured the two Patriarchs after releasing his Reverse Scale, there would definitely be a chance for him to escape. It’s already too late now.” “Even so, Desolate Martial is indeed terrifying! Even two mid-stage Mahayana God race Patriarchs nearly died despite possessing so many greater divine powers!” On the battlefield. There was naturally no way the Dragon Phoenix True Body would give up—he had merely entered a mysterious state. Up till this point of his comprehension of Barren, he had always been successful! This Dharmic art ignored one’s cultivation realm and could reduce one’s lifespan limitlessly. It was irreversible and was something that countless experts were wary of! However, at the end of the day, Barren was merely a Dharmic art. The power of Barren was already at the peak of Dharmic arts! At the end of the day, Dharmic arts could not reach the level of divine powers. Ina fight between the Mahayana realm, Mahayana Patriarchs could spare tens of thousands years of lifespan at any moment. In fact, some Patriarchs of the primordial races could even expend hundreds of thousands years of lifespan. The impact of Barren on them was clearly diminished. Now, the greater divine power released by Patriarch Divine Frost had even devoured Barren’s power! A look of disappointment flashed through the Dragon Phoenix True Body’s eyes when he looked at Barren that was gradually devoured. More than that, he was indignant! Even as a Dharmic art, Barren was so powerful that Patriarchs had to be wary of it. ff Barren could advance a step further and become a divine power, what sort of power would it release? n such a dangerous situation, it triggered all the potential of the Dragon Phoenix True Body. All the comprehensions he had gained from cultivating Barren over the years surged into his mind! At the end of the day, Barren was a form of release and control of time power. ts foundation was to speed up the flow of time on a cultivator! tt would cause a cultivator’s lifespan to deplete rapidly in a short period of time! The Dragon Phoenix True Body frowned. One after another, comprehensions revolved through his mind and he was about to break through that barrier to enter another realm of power! However, he could not break through that barrier no matter what. It was not so easy to comprehend divine powers! Many cultivators might not be able to master a single divine power even if they comprehended, accumulated and consolidated it for hundreds or even thousands of years. “There’s something missing!” In a flash, the brain of the Dragon Phoenix True Body spun rapidly as he recalled everything he had learned in his life. Everything flashed before his eyes like scenes. Suddenly! A thought flashed through the Dragon Phoenix True Body’s mind. Instantly, he seemed to have returned to the Dao Inheritance Ground and sat cross-legged beside the stone statue of Half-Martial Ancestor Instant. There, he entered the Void Reversion realm. There, he received more than 30 inheritance stone statues and deduced the Martial Dao. Time sped around the stone statue! Asingle day outside was equivalent to a year of cultivation there! Actually, that was also a power of time passing! Be it Dao Lords, Patriarchs or Emperors of history, none of them could defeat time and could not escape aging! Time was the fairest for all living beings..
