Chapter 862 The Bronze Coffin Under the Sea of Fire! (1)

"It won't be long before the other four Sundials stop."

Because there was a fourteen-hour gap between the life lanterns, the time they stopped was different from each other.

With anticipation in his heart, Xu Qing moved toward the surface of the magma while the time of the Sundials continued to pass. When he reached a depth of ten feet, a gleam of excitement appeared in his eyes.

Other than allowing the purple crystal to emit the light that could melt the life lanterns, there was another benefit to this magma… and that was to advance the Golden Crow Refines All Life.

This was Xu Qing's judgment but it wasn't confirmed yet.

However, he felt that since his Golden Crow Refines All Life could fuse with the sun's fragment, in essence, the sea of fire here should be helpful to it.

"As the Golden Crow Refines All Life transformed into a Nascent Soul, it has already advanced to the third level." After Xu Qing pondered, his forehead shone and the Golden Crow Nascent Soul flew out.

At the start, it still was in the form of a nascent soul. However, at the next instant, it transformed into the form of Golden Crow and circled Xu Qing while letting out waves of cries that echoed in his soul.

After that, the Golden Crow opened its mouth and sucked fiercely at the surrounding magma.

Immediately, a wave of fiery power headed straight for the Golden Crow's mouth. After it gushed into its mouth, the Golden Crow's body trembled and its eyes narrowed. The flames on its entire body soared.

After digesting it for a moment, the Golden Crow let out an even more intense cry. It continued to dance around Xu Qing and actually entered the magma.

Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat and he immediately paid close attention to it. A moment later, he heaved a sigh of relief.

The Golden Crow had a spirit to begin with. After transforming into a nascent soul, its spirituality increased even more, especially after fusing with Xu Qing's soul. Hence, Xu Qing could clearly sense everything about the Golden Crow.

At that moment, the Golden Crow was continuously devouring the magma within ten feet. The aura on its body also became increasingly intense and tails appeared one after another. Two hours later, when Xu Qing's second Sundial stopped at noon, the Golden Crow's tails increased from 100 to 130.

Xu Qing was excited. He let the Golden Crow continue to devour.

Time slowly passed.

Very soon, the third Sundial stopped at noon. Several hours later, the other two also stopped one after another. After all the Sundials stopped, Xu Qing, who was under the magma, trembled.

A dazed look appeared in his eyes.

In an instant, this trance disappeared and a strange look appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. He could sense that the five Sundials contained some kind of ability that could be activated with a thought.

However, he couldn't sense what this ability was.

"I'll give it a try!" Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and then sat cross-legged in the magma. As his thoughts rose, the five Sundials in his sea of consciousness instantly buzzed and manifested around Xu Qing.

The five Sundials surrounded Xu Qing like purple flower petals.

While shining with a resplendent light, the five lanterns that were like the sun floated above Xu Qing's head in a pentagonal shape.

At this moment, Xu Qing was exceptionally dazzling, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

The power of time from the five Sundials gushed into Xu Qing's body, causing him to emit a mysterious feeling. His entire person was blurry, as though he had descended from time.

This process only lasted for an instant before it disappeared. The Sundials dimmed as though they had released everything. They couldn't hold on anymore and returned to Xu Qing's body.

The first one started spinning again while the other four remained still.

Xu Qing was stunned. He looked around and then sensed his body. He didn't sense any difference.

"What's going on?"

Xu Qing frowned. He recalled for a long time but still didn't know the specific ability of the Sundials' eruption earlier.

This puzzled Xu Qing, so he decided to continue waiting.

Just like that, after 14 hours, the second life lantern also began to count down. The subsequent life lantern was also activated after 14 hours. After the fifth life lantern was also activated, the first life lantern stopped at noon.

"This process will last for 70 hours, about three days." Xu Qing silently calculated.

Another 24 hours passed. As the other life lanterns stopped one after another, all the life lanterns returned to noon. All of them were motionless and the explosive aura reappeared.

"Four days is a cycle."

"Was it not obvious when it activated earlier because I am in the magma?"

After Xu Qing pondered, he glanced at the Golden Crow in the distance who had more than 200 tails now. The moment he retracted his gaze, he directly flew out of the magma.

Upon reaching the surface of the magma, hovering in mid-air, Xu Qing didn't hesitate. In an instant, all five Sundials within his body activated, and the five lanterns that were like suns encircled above. The power of the Sundials erupted.

In that instant, Xu Qing felt heat.

His surroundings were filled with magma and his body… had actually returned to the magma!

This scene caused Xu Qing's heart to tremble and disbelief appeared in his eyes. He abruptly turned his head and looked around, discovering that he had indeed returned to the magma.

"I was clearly in the air earlier!"

Xu Qing's heart was in turmoil. After careful thought, he thought of a possibility.

"Could it be… time reversal?"

This speculation stirred up endless waves in Xu Qing's heart. He measured his current altitude and, imitating his previous actions, flew out at the same speed. When he reached mid-air, it took seven breaths of time.

"Reversing seven breaths of time?"

"As for the first time, it was because I didn't move, so it wasn't obvious!"

A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. However, he wasn't very sure yet and needed to try again.
