Monarch of Time

The sound of the platform trembling was no different from a hammer striking everyone's hearts, as the disciples in the audience seats watched Dong Ai's body collapse like a meteor.

Dong Ai's eyes were wide open in disbelief, but she didn't seem to have enough strength to raise her head and look at Shun Long, as she started to vomit blood uncontrollably barely a moment later.

Silence instantly descended in the arena, as even the outer court disciples on top of the surrounding 7 platforms that were previously battling, seemed to have turned their eyes towards Shun Long and Dong Ai by now.

It wasn't just the outer court disciples or even the white-robed outer court Elders who were responsible for the battles on the 8 platforms, but even the 3 inner court Elders in the sky whose eyes were now staring at Shun Long and Dong Ai with looks of disbelief on their faces.

The white-robed Elder, Cao Ling seemed to have lost his usual calmness, as he hurriedly turned his head to look at Sun Wen next to him and said in a shocked voice

''Senior brother Sun...''

The look on Elder Xuan's face had also changed as she turned her gaze towards the white-robed old man, Sun Wen as well.

Nodding his head, Sun Wen had an extremely serious look on his face as he looked at Shun Long's figure that was standing in the center of the platform and said solemnly

''This kid has gained insights into the Dao of Time...'' No one else other than the 2 Elders who were by his side, Elder Xuan and Elder Cao Ling could hear Sun Wen's voice, as the white-robed old man continued

''I could actually sense the fluctuations in the flow of time around his body when he used that last move against Dong Ai. This kid is truly terrifying!''

Elder Xuan and the bald white-robed old man, Elder Cao Ling, could clearly hear the hints of dread inside Sun Wen's voice as he said the last sentence, but in their minds, the words 'Dao of Time' were still reverberating while their eyes were focused on the figure of the yellow-robed young man at the center of the platform.

Forget about the Holy sect, even in the entire central region, Xuan Jiao and Cao Ling had never heard of an expert who had comprehended the Dao of Time in the past! Although it was possible for one of those experts to exist and to have been hidden somewhere in the central region, it remained a fact that the Elders of the Holy sect had never heard of it.

Shun Long's comprehension of the Dao of Space was already astonishing enough to shock them, but there had been some supreme experts in the past, who had also gained insights in the Dao of Space as well, so Xuan Jiao and Cao Ling could still understand that.

Of course, Xuan Jiao and Cao Ling both knew, that none of those experts had used the Dao of Space as their foundational Dao for their qi refinement or their body refinement cultivation like Shun Long did, but there were 2 reasons behind that.

Firstly, those experts had gained insights into the Dao of Space far too late, and by the time that they did, they had already reached an extremely high level in their foundational Dao.

If they wanted to switch the Dao that they had used as a foundation for the Dao of Space, then they would first have to bring their comprehension of the Dao of Space at the same level as their foundational Dao. 

But that was simply too difficult!

After all, the Dao of Space itself was extremely difficult to gain insights into in the first place.

Those experts would naturally choose to spend more time comprehending their foundational Dao even further instead of trying to comprehend the Dao of Space.

As for the second reason, even if those experts had truly managed to comprehend the Dao of Space at the early stages of their cultivation, most likely, only an extremely small number of them would have dared to use it as their foundational Dao back then.

The reason behind that was, because, only those who were truly confident in reaching the peak of strength with a certain Dao would dare to use that as their foundational Dao!

Thus, most of those experts who understood the difficulty in comprehending the Dao of Space would most likely not have dared to use it as their foundational Dao!

As for the Dao of Time? Considering that most likely, not a single expert in the central region had gained insights into it, Xuan Jiao and Cao Ling both understood, that it was even more terrifying than the Dao of Space that only those experts who already stood at the peak of the central region had comprehended. And yet, Shun Long had dared to use it as his foundational Dao.

Sun Wen took a deep breath as he looked at Shun Long, before he said in a solemn tone

''It's too bad that the sect master isn't in the sect right now. No matter what, we must rope this kid into the sect! I have no other choice. I will have to disturb the Grand Elder!''

''Senior brother will really disturb the Grand Elder's seclusion?'' Cao Ling spoke out in a hesitant voice, but he knew that the matter today was something that would shake the entire Holy sect.

Cao Ling would be a fool if he didn't understand that the talents that Shun Long had displayed so far could compete not only with the strongest geniuses in the entire central region.

Even in the Holy sect, Cao Ling understood that the only ones who could compare to Shun Long were less than a handful of core disciples!

Nodding his head, Sun Wen didn't say anything else, as his body turned into a white blur of light that disappeared from the arena a moment later, as it headed straight towards the inner court.

Although this took a while to describe, the conversation between the 3 Elders had happened in the blink of an eye.

As for the arena, it was still filled with a deathly silence, as the disciples in the audience seats were now staring at Shun Long with different looks in their eyes.

''Ai!'' The silence was broken barely a moment later, as the figure of a blond-haired, violet-eyed young man shot towards Shun Long's fighting platform from the audience seats like a bolt of lightning, arriving in front of Dong Ai barely a second later!
