Martial Master

On this gentle hill, there was nothing but a gray tree standing at a height of one zhang. This tree had no leaves and no branches. Rather than a tree, it resembled an eerie plant. At the top of the tree were three green fruits, surrounded by wisps of Law, as if the years were flowing by without a trace.

From a distance, these three green fruits appeared quite unremarkable, but if one's soul force fell upon them, they would immediately sense the endless vicissitudes of time.

At this moment, Ling Luling and the others were greedily staring at these fruits, their expressions filled with excitement.

"Could this be the legendary Time Law Fruit?"

Looking at the three fruits, Ling Luling's eyes widened in shock.

They had heard about such fruits in legends from the Heavenly Realm, resembling the Time Law Fruit. The Time Law Fruit was an extremely special fruit, categorized as a legendary Dao fruit.

The so-called Dao fruit contains the Laws of Heaven and Earth, and are usually the top-tier spiritual medicines.

The Time Law Fruit was even more special, as it contained a trace of the origin of time, and could only be nurtured in places where the time rules were exceptionally dense. Once a martial artist obtained such a Dao fruit, they could comprehend the time rules contained within.

Although this trace of time rules was incredibly subtle, the time rules are among the highest rules in the world. Even comprehending an extremely weak trace can provide immense help to a martial artist.

"With the Time Law Fruit here, it clearly indicates that there is a very high possibility of the origin of time being present. We are about to strike it rich!"

The last of the four Heavenly Realm experts, named Qian Yuanliang, exclaimed joyfully, immediately rushing forward at the fastest speed, his eyes blazing with fervor, as if they could melt the Law surrounding the Time Law Fruit.

There were four of them present, but there were only three Law Fruits. How would they divide them?

So he took action first, wanting to pick one of the Time Law Fruits.

"The Time Law Fruit isn't ripe yet, we can't go up..." Upon seeing this, Ling Luling immediately cried out. The Time Law Fruit contains time rules, and when it's not ripe, the time rules haven't fully retracted, making it extremely dangerous.

"Don't worry, I won't be reckless enough to charge in directly."

Qian Yuanliang laughed heartily, and with a boom, he extended a large hand. Facing the unknown, he was naturally not reckless; instead, he directly activated his Holy Yuan power, transforming it into a Holy Yuan hand to pluck the Time Law Fruit above.

However, the fear in Ling Luling's eyes did not diminish at all. She exclaimed angrily, "Do you think the time rules are that simple? Come back!"

But it was too late for Ling Luling to say this. Her companion's Holy Yuan hand had already touched the Time Law Fruit not far away.

At first, the Time Law Fruit showed no reaction, but as Qian Yuanliang's Holy Yuan hand was about to make contact, a hum resonated, and the fruit suddenly emitted a hazy aura of time. A terrifying time aura surged forth, enveloping the Holy Yuan hand.

This is bad! Qian Yuanliang's heart sank immediately, wanting to retract his Holy Yuan hand, but before he could do so, he felt the endless vicissitudes of time pressing down on him, making it difficult to breathe. At that moment, all he could feel was his lifespan rapidly draining away.

In an instant, it seemed as if endless time was flowing by. Qian Yuanliang's extended Holy Yuan hand silently extinguished, as the power of time was too terrifying, directly corroding the Holy Yuan hand.

Moreover, a trace of the power of time spread onto Qian Yuanliang's body.

Ling Luling and the others watched in horror as Qian Yuanliang slowly aged. His hair turned white, and his appearance visibly deteriorated at a rapid pace.

His movements became exceedingly slow, as if several tens of thousands of years had passed. By the time he fully turned around, his face was already covered in countless wrinkles.
