Chapter 134: The Overpowered New Time Ability!!!

The king simply nodded, then glanced sharply at Kathryn. "The World Tree is dying."

"The World Tree?" Kathryn’s eyes widened in shock. She couldn’t believe it. How could the World Tree be dying? How could this be happening? She stared at her father, seeking confirmation, even though she knew he wouldn’t play such a cruel joke. Still, a seed of scepticism remained.

Kranos, listening from the side, felt his heart skip a beat. He recalled the message from the system: "Could it be because the system used the World Tree to transcend time and show me that vision? Is that the reason why the World Tree is dying?"

Many guesses swirled in Kranos’s mind, but he didn’t voice any of them. His expression remained neutral, as though he bore no responsibility. He listened with rapt attention as the father and daughter continued their conversation.

"The prophetess just sensed a large amount of life force drained from the World Tree. We believe this is a sign that the World Tree is dying," the king stated, unfazed by Kranos’s presence.

He trusted Kathryn, and since she had brought Kranos to the heart of the World Tree, he knew she was confident Kranos couldn’t harm it. Besides, he was merely a weak cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core Realm!

"But Father..." Kathryn bit her lip, deep in thought. She couldn’t understand how this had happened so abruptly. She glanced at Kranos from the corner of her eye, but then shook her head. She knew Kranos wouldn’t be responsible for this; after all, she knew him all too well.

Meanwhile, Kranos’s heart skipped a beat a second time upon hearing the king’s words. He knew the system was definitely the one that had drained the World Tree’s life force.

The king continued, "All entrances to the heart of the World Tree are closed until further notice."

Kathryn nodded, feeling this was the best course of action. With the entrances sealed, they could study the tree and discover exactly what was wrong. After the king finished speaking, he led Kathryn and Kranos out of the chamber.

When they appeared outside the green portal, he performed a series of hand seals, muttering strange, incomprehensible words. The portal glowed green once again, then dimmed as if its energy had been forcefully cut off.

"How mysterious and powerful!" Kranos exclaimed in his heart. He was shocked by how, despite appearing to possess no cultivation, the elder was exceedingly strong—strong enough to seal the portal that had previously shimmered with the energy of life!

After that, the king turned to Kathryn and used a spiritual transmission to tell her something secretly. Hearing his words, Kathryn’s expression changed slightly. She glanced at Kranos from the corner of her eyes, and a strange light flickered within them.

After the king departed, Kathryn smiled apologetically at Kranos. "Sorry about the abrupt end to our cultivation. There seem to be some... issues with the World Tree. Don’t worry, Father will resolve it soon." Kathryn bowed slightly, causing Kranos to feel... a warmth in his heart.

You don’t have to feel sorry. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have stepped into the Time Palace Realm so soon, and I wouldn’t have comprehended... such an interesting ability. Kranos’s eyes flickered with a cunning light. He stared at Kathryn with a calculating look; time seemed to pause as he faintly felt that she was just like a... chess piece?

Afterwards, they headed to the castle, going to their separate rooms. Kranos waited until he saw Kathryn enter her room before entering his own. Feeling his gaze as she slowly walked into her room, a playful smile surfaced on Kathryn’s lips.

You can’t hold yourself anymore, Kranos, can you? It seems I will have my pawn sooner than I expect! Hehe!

Seeing that she had entered her room, Kranos sighed then stepped into his own. He was now safe to explore his cultivation and see what strange ability he had mastered. Besides, he had to enter the time space to retrieve the new cultivation manual.

Stepping into his room, Kranos sat down and studied the technique displayed on his system panel.

[Congratulations on mastering the technique, Time Absorption.]

[Time Absorption: You no longer need to wait for time points to be generated as you can absorb time points from the time of every object.]

Kranos read the description again, and it thundered in his mind. His eyes widened in shock, and he felt his breath still for a moment. "What sort of technique is this? How terrifying! How horrifying!"

"Is this the advantage of greatly altering the time cultivation manual? If I alter it again, what kind of terrifying technique will I obtain?" Kranos could hardly suppress his excitement. He quickly wanted to take out the Time Palace cultivation manual, but first, he had to study what this ability actually did.

[This is a unique ability that doesn’t require time points to activate or keep active.]

Another line of words appeared in front of him, causing Kranos to be overjoyed, though he felt it was reasonable. Why would he use time points to absorb time?

"It seems that the ability itself offsets the cost," Kranos guessed. He sighed in relief, then stood up, walked to a table, and placed his hand on it. He felt his time palace stir, and then a mysterious energy infiltrated every part of the table.

Kranos was shocked by the speed. The speed at which his time field took over other time fields had increased to at least 10 times! He watched as the table disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It seemed as though the time core was being rapidly eaten up by his time field. In the blink of an eye, the table had vanished into thin air.

[Gained 500 time points.]

A notification appeared in his line of sight. Kranos stared at the notification with wide eyes. Just like that, he had gained so many time points?
