Chapter 107 The fifth floor, the mysterious old man of time!
In the blue sky, with white clouds and on the green grassland, two streams of light, one white and one black, constantly collide and entangle.

In just a few breaths, they collided hundreds of times, and the splashing true energy penetrated gold and split rocks, leaving bottomless pits on the grassland.

boom!
A stream of white light fell like a meteor, slamming into the ground. As the smoke and dust dissipated, a dying figure in white holding a gun was revealed.

The next moment, a black stream of light appeared on the grassland closely behind him. When the black light dissipated, Chen Fan's figure appeared.

Compared to the gatekeeper's miserable appearance, Chen Fan was in excellent condition, without any injuries on his body. If it weren't for his still-unsettled breath, one would not have been able to tell that he had just experienced a battle.

After turning the gatekeeper into ashes with one palm, Chen Fan looked at the gradually condensing light gate, and a heavy feeling arose in his heart.

According to Jing Aoxuan, this trial tower has seven floors. This is only the third floor, and the gatekeeper has combat power comparable to that of a real person. What about the fourth, fifth, and even sixth and seventh floors?

Wouldn't it require a gatekeeper who is as powerful as a grandmaster?

This difficulty is too high. It is estimated that even in ancient times, there were only a very small number of people who could have such combat power. There must be other secrets.

After thinking for a while, Chen Fan, who had not come to any conclusion, waited until his internal energy was replenished, then stepped into the light gate and headed to the fourth floor.

As the light gate dissipated, the surrounding space distorted, the position kept jumping, and a tearing feeling emerged, but the impact was not significant.

But when Chen Fan opened his eyes again, he found that the surrounding environment had changed. In the first three levels, he was on the grassland. Although the location was different, the environment was almost the same.

But now, Chen Fan appeared in the starry sky.

"fake."

This thought suddenly came into Chen Fan's mind.

Without using any strength, he just stood in the void without falling. If this wasn't fake, then what would it be?

"You are great to have made it to the fourth floor, kid, but that's all you can do."

An arrogant voice sounded in his ears. Chen Fan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a black-haired young man with his arms folded, looking at him arrogantly.

After a moment of silence, Chen Fan asked, "You... have intelligence?"

Chen Fan actually hoped that this black-haired young man had his own intelligence, so that he could resolve the doubts in his heart.

But imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel. The black-haired young man still folded his arms and looked at him arrogantly, as if he didn't say those words just now.

Chen Fan immediately understood that this should be just a pre-set program, and he himself may have passed away tens of thousands of years ago.

With a sigh, Chen Fan took action directly. A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck the black-haired young man.

Unexpectedly, the black-haired young man did not make any movement and was hit by the lightning without suffering any injuries.

However, the black-haired young man seemed to be enraged. He put down his arms and a long sword appeared in his hands.

Suddenly, golden light flashed in the air, and line-like cracks began to spread with the black-haired young man as the center.

"Gold Shatter!"

The black-haired young man swung his sword, and the golden light that filled the air exploded, pushing the line-like cracks to extend towards where Chen Fan was at an extremely fast speed.

"The secret of gold? What a special way of using it."

Chen Fan was not surprised but happy. This attack method did not focus on being fierce and domineering, but was mainly based on the sharpness of the mystery of gold, and it was also mixed with a bit of spatial meaning.

Is this the genius from ancient times?
Chen Fan did not dodge or evade, but took a step forward. His figure was like a ghost, leaving behind several phantoms in an instant.

These phantoms were shattered at the same time by the attack of the black-haired young man in the next moment. Faced with this kind of area attack, the confusing effect of the phantoms was reduced to the extreme.

However, Chen Fan was not trying to confuse the black-haired young man. Before he knew it, he had already crossed the golden crack area and was only a hundred meters away from the black-haired young man.

And this distance was just a moment for him.

boom!
Lightning exploded, and at the critical moment, the black-haired young man raised his knife horizontally to block the punch.

Then he turned into golden light and swung the long sword in his hand, using several sword techniques at will towards Chen Fan. The angles were tricky and every sword move was deadly, showing his master's level.

Fortunately, Chen Fan is not an ordinary person. He may not be as good as the black-haired young man in fighting skills, but he is better than him in other aspects.

After ten breaths, he suppressed the black-haired young man.

Twenty breaths later, the black-haired young man landed on a meteorite with a diameter of one kilometer, and was then hit by Chen Fan along with the meteorite.

After a hundred breaths, the black-haired young man was seriously injured. After finally withstanding a blow from the "Heavenly Thunder Handprint", his body broke into pieces, turned into starlight, and disappeared.

After defeating the black-haired young man, Chen Fan suddenly sat cross-legged on the spot, his eyes slightly closed, and countless understandings of space emerged in his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Fan suddenly opened his eyes.

Bo~
The surrounding space seemed to be attacked by some force, and countless tiny cracks appeared densely at the same time.

Although the space healed automatically in the next second under some powerful force, the cracks that appeared previously were undoubted.

Chen Fan stood up, raised his right hand, and pushed it forward lightly. With just such an ordinary palm, a palm print suddenly appeared on the giant rock floating in the air hundreds of meters away.

From the time the palm strike was made to the time the palm print appeared on the stone, apart from a slight fluctuation of true energy when the palm strike was made, there was no other trace of true energy, as if the entire process had been erased.

"Is this the application of space? It's really amazing."

Chen Fan was deeply moved. The black-haired young man was not only a gatekeeper, but also a very good teacher to him.

Although Chen Fan had originally comprehended the artistic conception of space, he had no one to guide him and did not have any martial arts suitable for the artistic conception of space, so his application of space could only be said to be superficial, and he did not even touch the surface.

The black-haired young man is very proficient in the use of spatial artistic conception. Although he can't control it with ease, he can use it freely.

In fact, he could have dealt with the black-haired young man within twenty breaths. After all, although the other party's martial soul was a fourth-level martial soul, it was not an attribute martial soul, and there was a qualitative difference between it and Chen Fan's destructive thunder soul.

But in order to learn secretly, he endured for a hundred breaths, until he felt that he could not learn anything, and then he solved the black-haired young man with a sense of unsatisfaction.

Relying on his extraordinary understanding, Chen Fan barely integrated the artistic conception of space into his attack. Although he can only attack normally at present and cannot transfer his martial arts.

But it is also a leap forward. Chen Fan believes that as long as time is enough, he will be able to integrate the artistic conception of space into martial arts and thus create a new martial art.

"Congratulations, you have passed the fourth floor of the Trial Tower. Now you have two choices. First, give up and obtain the status of a true disciple of the Ancient God Sect. Second, continue to challenge the tower."

An unprecedentedly loud voice rang out.

Chen Fan frowned, but did not hesitate: "Continue."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was no light gate this time. Instead, the surrounding space was stirred and ripples appeared. Chen Fan reacted immediately.

This time it was not a space transfer, but a direct space distortion. The former only changed a person, while the latter directly changed the space within a certain range. The two levels were completely different. "What kind of means is this? Even a minor level of space mystery can't do this."

Chen Fan was shocked.

After a while, the space calmed down, and the environment was almost the same as that of the fourth floor, with the same starry sky background.

A white-haired old man was sitting cross-legged under the starry sky in front of him. He looked very old, and the wrinkles on his face were enough to almost kill a mosquito.

But it was this old man who looked so old that he couldn't even move, but he gave Chen Fan a vague sense of crisis.

In Chen Fan's perception, the old man was very strange, yes, strange.

The old man's vitality is actually not weak. Although it may not be comparable to Chen Fan's, it is comparable to the ordinary spiritual sea realm masters who have cultivated their spiritual bodies.

But his appearance is unnaturally old, which is undoubtedly two extremes.

Logically speaking, such a situation is impossible and does not conform to the rules of the world, but it has happened now.

Just when Chen Fan was feeling puzzled, the old man woke up.

He opened his eyes, and the moment he saw Chen Fan, a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"I've finally found my destined one!"

There seemed to be thunder roaring in Chen Fan's mind. He had a feeling that this old man was not like the black-haired young man on the fourth floor. He... was really wise!

"My dear, you are surprised that I am so wise, haha."

The old man seemed to have seen something, he laughed, and then said mysteriously: "Don't be surprised, this is not my real body, to be precise, this is just a spiritual body of this old man.

Perhaps you are curious about why a spiritual thought can exist for such a long time, and this involves the method I practice. "

A mysterious aura emanated, and Chen Fan's face changed drastically just by sensing it from a distance.

"time?!"

Even though he had never come into contact with the power of time, at this moment, these two words naturally emerged in his mind.

"Yes, it's time."

The old man was very proud.

However, it also has capital to be proud of, the artistic conception of time. Even if it has not transformed into a mystery, its power is enough to suppress many mysteries.

At the same level, there is no artistic conception that can surpass time. At most, it can only be comparable to it.

This is the basic law of how the world works, and together with space, it constitutes the prototype of the world.

However, I can still touch the space a little, such as the teleportation stone gate and some places where space is distorted, where I can feel the power of space more clearly.

Therefore, there will be a few powerful people in space in every era.

But time... after the ancient times, those who could comprehend time were all geniuses, and there were only a few who became strong by relying on time, let alone the masters of time.

The old man in front of him, who has been able to preserve his spiritual thoughts until now with the power of time, must be an existence that has reached the very depths of time.

Even in ancient times, there were not many beings of this level.

"As long as you defeat me, you will gain some insights into time."

Hearing this, Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "Old senior, you can separate your spiritual thoughts into a body, so you must be at least a king at your peak. Even if your spiritual thoughts have only 30% of the power of a king, there is no way this junior can deal with it."

"Haha, you are worrying too much. After a hundred thousand years, even if I use the power of time to lock my state, my spiritual body is still inevitably greatly weakened.

Currently, he has only just entered the Grandmaster level of combat power, otherwise how could he come here to be a gatekeeper.

So, come on, my destined person, defeat me. As long as you defeat me, you will not only gain the perception of time, but also the legendary great opportunity, which is something that time cannot compare to!"

Chen Fan's heart moved: "Old senior, can you tell me what this opportunity is?"

Chen Fan had some vague guesses in his heart that the opportunity he mentioned was most likely something that could attract the Dragon of Luck.

But the old man stopped talking, and Chen Fan was unable to get the information he wanted from him, so he had no choice but to give up.

"In that case, old senior, I am sorry for the offense!"

Chen Fan's aura began to change. If he was a reserved, gentle, and peaceful young man before, then he was now the Thunder God of Destruction who had come to the world. Wherever he was, countless thunders of destruction filled the air.

Chen Fan once again used all his strength. The last time he used it was when he was dealing with the half-demon old man from the Liu family. Even when he was dealing with the black-haired young man on the previous level, he had never used his fourth-order destructive thunder soul, but now he was pushed to the extreme.

With Chen Fan as the center, the starry sky within a radius of hundreds of miles was shrouded in thunder, forming a destructive thunder zone that no living creature could enter.

Including the old man who was sitting cross-legged, they were also in the thunder area, but no matter how fierce the thunder was, it could not get close to the old man.

Chen Fan was not surprised. It would be strange for a warrior who practices time to not have some special skills.

"Heavenly Thunder Seal!"

A huge, huge, black palm with no visible edge fell from the sky.

This time, Chen Fan abandoned concealment and speed, and pushed the power of this palm print to the extreme.

This was a test. It was the first time that Chen Fan encountered a warrior who followed the path of time. He was not sure about his fighting style, so it was better for him to be cautious.

Suddenly, Chen Fan, who had retreated to a very far distance, suddenly contracted his pupils, as if he had discovered something incredible.

The giant black palm that was bombarding the old man was shrinking visibly with the naked eye. When it was less than a few hundred meters away from the old man, it was less than a hundred meters in size.

Then the old man stretched out a finger and with a light flick he shattered the black giant palm, whose power had been weakened by who knows how many times.

"Time...is accelerated."

Chen Fan had a heavy expression on his face. After he unleashed the "Heavenly Thunder Seal", the time in the space he was in was accelerated, causing energy that was not under anyone's control to continuously dissipate.

Eventually, 99% of his energy was worn away by time, and the tiny bit left posed no threat to the old man at all.

And this acceleration would take at least a hundred years.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan felt a little frightened. He only had 300 years to live after entering the Spiritual Sea Realm, and one third of it was wiped out in an instant. Who could bear this?
