Book of Disaster

The flames in the altar were blazing, continuously spewing out waves of blazing purple flames.

The flames rose dozens of feet high, almost enveloping the entire powerful god and demon.

In addition, the coccyx of the interstellar hunter that the Outer God Nyarlathotep threw to Bai Qi was also coiled up by Bai Qi and thrown on the altar, right at the feet of the Hercules.

In addition, the Abyss Black Bones, Cursed Soul Bones, Primordial Heavenly Gang God and Demon Golden Sands, and the Emperor-level Ten Thousand Years Dragon Bone Crystals that Bai Qi obtained from the Qiankun Bag... were all placed in piles by Bai Qi and refined together to enhance the power of the powerful gods and demons.

Bai Qi had a hunch that this time the Hercules Demon had collected too many top-level materials, and he would definitely be able to be promoted and evolve several levels.

Everything is going according to plan. The Taichu Tiangang God and Demon Golden Sand, the Wanzai Dragon Bone Crystal... these materials are slowly melting.

The only trouble is that the coccyx of the interstellar hunter, a top-level creature whose body can travel across the entire universe and exist for tens of thousands or even millions of years, is extremely hard and difficult to refine. Judging from the current situation, it will probably take at least one day to melt the coccyx of the interstellar hunter.

Fortunately, Bai Qi has nothing to do now and all he has is time, so he is not in a hurry. He just throws it on the altar and lets it be refined slowly step by step.

However, what really interested Bai Qi was the crystal of the power of time that he had obtained by pulling it out of Yan Aotian's hand and killing the god of time, Iotasos.

This crystal stone is only the size of a thumb, about six or seven inches long, and blood red all over, just like a piece of blood crystal, but emanating from its interior is a powerful and vast force of time that sweeps away everything.

Strictly speaking, Bai Qi's biggest gain from this adventure into the new world was not the interstellar hunter, but this section of time crystals.

And through the heavenly book deep in his eyebrows, Bai Qi also obtained information about this time crystal.

"The time crystal contains the powerful force of time and space, which comes from the god Cthulhu in the new world."

"Attention, this crystal originated from Azathoth, the Outer God of Cthulhu, deep in the blood of Iotasos, the most powerful god. This time crystal itself is fused with the pollution of Cthulhu and cannot be removed. If you use this crystal for a long time, it will be strongly polluted by the power of Cthulhu and contaminated by the chaotic and crazy whispers of Azathoth, falling into eternal insanity and madness. The longer you use it, the easier it is to fall into the same madness as Azathoth. Please use it with caution."

"The power of time belongs to the gods, and it is a realm of divine power controlled by high-level gods. Mortals who covet it too much will suffer a powerful backlash, causing great damage to the body and soul, including but not limited to corroding the soul and flesh, and shortening the lifespan of mortal warriors."

After hearing this, Bai Qi fell silent.

"The pollution of Cthulhu...as expected!"

Bai Qi said secretly in his heart.

This is the side effect of the treasures of the new world. Almost all treasures, while being powerful, contain Cthulhu's special chaos and madness.

The rest is fine, but——

"Book of Heaven, is there any way to solve the corrosive effect of time crystals?"

Bai Qi asked.

"This erosion is integrated with the power of time and is irreversible. As long as it comes into contact, it will be damaged. However, when in contact, the corrosion effect is minimal and very slow. But when the host uses the time crystal, the corrosion effect will be greatly increased, including but not limited to carbonization, corrosion, and cracking of the skin and flesh."

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. This is the price you must pay for using the time crystal. However, the host can offset the corrosive effect of this time crystal on the body by consuming 1 Holy Point per second."

Tianshu replied.

"One point of Divine Manifestation per second?... Fortunately, it is still within an acceptable range."

Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly asked:

"By the way, how can we unleash the power of this time crystal? Also, what kind of power does this time crystal have?"

strength!

This is what Bai Qi is most interested in.

He took such a big risk and was not only ordered by Yan Aotian to hunt him down, but also summoned hundreds of martial arts masters from the entire new world to hunt him down. If he didn't gain enough, he would suffer a great loss.

"Time crystal has three abilities: time stillness, time acceleration, and time reversal. The latter two are sealed and cannot be used at the host's current level. Currently, the host can only use time stillness."

"Time prohibition can render all attacks within the range, no matter how powerful, ineffective. Within this area, everything is in a state of relative stillness."

Seeing this information, Bai Qi was greatly shocked.

"It can stop all attacks. Is it really everything?"

However, the voice of the Heavenly Book soon rang out.

"Confirmed! With the host's current condition, he can withstand attacks with more than twenty times his own strength, even including a blow from the god Cthulhu."

"!!!"

"Great!"

Bai Qi was very excited when he heard this.

He had witnessed with his own eyes how powerful the god Cthulhu was. He could easily blow all the martial saints and warriors into ashes.

If even the attacks of the god Cthulhu can be resisted, then the ability to stop time is too abnormal.

"...Sure enough, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. It's worth the risk."

Bai Qi's eyes were extremely bright, and he felt as if he had received a shot of cardiotonic medicine.

The effect of this time crystal is stronger than he imagined.

But soon, Bai Qi saw a line of small words in the information given by the heavenly book.

"The current range of time stillness: one inch."

"One inch? Heavenly Book, what does this mean?"

Bai Qi was stunned and asked subconsciously.

"The more powerful the power, the more limited its range. The host is only a Martial Saint, and strictly speaking, he cannot possess such a powerful power as the power of time. If he uses it forcibly, its range of action is only about an inch, and it can only be temporarily still for half a second. After half a second, the effect of stopping time will be invalid."

After a brief silence, the Heavenly Book quickly responded.

"hiss!"

Upon hearing the information from the heavenly book, Bai Qi couldn't help but take a breath, and the excitement and joy he had felt before instantly disappeared.

an inch!

It is probably only equivalent to the length of a finger knuckle, which means that his time stillness can only work in such a narrow and close range around the body, and it only lasts for half a second.

For a moment, Bai Qi felt confused and didn't even know what expression to make.
