The millstone turned, with golden lines embedded within it, radiating immense power and exuding an aura that clashed with the temple's phantom, subtly showing a tendency to gain the upper hand.

Destruction precedes construction! Utter sublimation!

The ancient locust tree pursed its lips and looked at the illusory image of the temple.

He felt an urge to devour the temple's illusory form in order to strengthen his own foundation.

At the same time, the Guardian of Time looked at the temple, his chapped lips drooling, a clear drop of saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth, as if he were about to do something.

In an instant, the servants of the gods transformed from hunters into prey.

The situation changed so quickly, in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the ancient locust tree reaching the sky and the guardian of time, the servant of the god trembled, and endless fear rose in his heart.

He traveled through countless realms, annihilating countless powerful beings at the God-King level, whether they were ominous and bizarre or forbidden artifacts.

All vanished under the decree.

Never before had the other side swallowed the temple's decree so readily.

He would never have believed it if he hadn't witnessed it firsthand.

Although the servant of the god was terrified, he still gritted his teeth and charged forward.

He understood that with the temple's decree destroyed, even if he escaped into the temple, he would not escape death.

The decree represents the face of the temple's lord and will absolutely not allow it to be defiled in this way.

In an instant, the ancient locust tree reaching the sky and the guardian of time attacked simultaneously.

The millstone turned, enveloping the phantom of the temple, and its devouring power instantly sucked the temple into the millstone.

The Guardian of Time stepped forward, appearing behind the servant of the gods, and thrust out his spear, instantly piercing through the servant's back.

Ah~

The servant of the god cried out and looked down at his chest, where the spearhead had pierced through.

For so many years, he seemed to have forgotten pain, but now, suddenly pierced through, intense pain filled his entire body.

He flailed his limbs and trembled all over.

Having relied on the power of the powerful for so many years, he finally realized at this moment that without the protection of the temple's decree, he was nothing but trash.

Even the servant himself was only at the first level of the God King realm.

However, the next second, the Guardian of Time bit down on his crown and sucked hard, spurting out white brain matter.

"Pooh-"

The Guardian of Time spat fiercely, as if it had eaten something disgusting, and quickly spat it out.

The phantom of the temple was sucked into the millstone.

Streams of essence, surpassing even divine matter, surged forth, and the ancient locust tree feasted on them with great relish, its leaves trembling and branches swaying as if thoroughly enjoying itself.

Chu Feng felt the aura of the ancient locust tree growing stronger.

In less than a moment.

On the trunk of the ancient locust tree, fine black lines appeared, and its strength increased by leaps and bounds.

The Guardian of Time gazed at the shattered phantom of the temple in the millstone, his throat bobbing, looking utterly drooling.

Without a moment's hesitation, it pounced.

The spear in his hand pierced the intersection of the rotating millstones.

"Click—"

The millstone stopped rotating.

The Time Guardian lay on top of it, took a deep breath, and a strange substance was drawn into its body through the millstone.

"Damn it! This is my food!"

The ancient locust tree, its dark golden branches lashing out, lashed downwards fiercely.

"Snap—"

Sparks flew from the mangled body.

The guardian of time trembled, a look of pain on its face, but it did not give up, its hands gripping the millstone tightly.

Like a toad embracing a carp, it simply wouldn't let go.

It devoured the contents of the millstone.

"Clap clap clap clap clap—"

The locust branches lashed relentlessly, each strike harder than the last. Yet, no matter what, the guardian of time remained steadfast.

Chu Feng watched this scene through the cracks in the wooden cocoon, utterly astonished.

He was well aware of just how powerful the Ancient Locust Tree was; its overall strength had already surpassed that of a peak God King.

The seemingly simple whipping was powerful enough to shatter the body of a god-king, but even so, it only caused the guardian of time a little pain!

"That's incredible!"

After the illusory image of the temple was completely crushed, the mysterious substance it transformed into was absorbed by the Ancient Locust Tree and the Guardian of Time.

After the Guardian of Time devoured a great deal of matter, a sense of self-awareness emerged in its golden pupils, and its eyes flashed with a thoughtful light.

"Damn it, it's evolved too!" The ancient locust tree said angrily, wishing it could just blow the guy up.

"Phew—thank you for freeing me from the control of the River of Time!" The Guardian of Time detached itself from the millstone and spoke slowly.

It stood atop the river of time, its tone filled with gratitude.

"Hmph! There are many paths to take, let's each go our own way!" The ancient locust tree looked at the other party, a hint of apprehension flashing in its eyes.

This guy is very strong, and he doesn't want to provoke him. Besides, the situation is critical right now, and his real goal is to take his master away.

A divine servant dies, and a guardian of time departs from the river of time.

This behavior has crossed the line with those guys, and they will absolutely not allow this to happen.

Next came the relentless pursuit.

Just as the ancient locust tree was about to retreat.

As time flows on, storms rise and clouds surge, and the temple reappears.

This time, however, it was not a phantom that appeared, but the real body.

As a corner of the temple descends.

The branches of the ancient locust tree burst open one after another, and streaks of blood flowed from the tree trunk. Leaves shattered and turned into dust.

"ah-"

A scream rang out as the ancient locust tree, its millstone-like structure reaching to the heavens, enveloped Chu Feng, providing him with 360-degree protection. The tree swayed wildly, racing desperately along the river of time.

This is only a corner of the temple; if the entire temple were to descend, its power would be even more terrifying.
