Still in the void, time slowly passed as Kranos cultivated while allowing the golden light to take his body and wander the void.

At times, he would wake up from his cultivation to speak to himself, creating scenes in his mind using the rapid thought time technique.

Other times, he would enter into the system space and study the mysterious third box, and also practice his sword techniques as though he was battling against himself.

The time passed excruciatingly slowly during this period.

Kranos’ cultivation was steadily increasing as he was increasing his strength.

Soon he had slowly reached the peak of the Time Palace Realm.

Seeing this, Kranos opened his eyes.

His expression had already become haggard. He was bored of the endless void.

The whole expanse of darkness was slowly affecting his mindset.

‘Will I finally run mad in this damn place?’ Kranos had this thought within his heart.

There was nothing around him.

“Arrrrrggggggg!” he let out a loud shout, but it just echoed into the void and soon became noiseless.

Kranos sighed, then entered into the system space. It was time for him to break through to the Time Monarch Realm.

Entering into the Time System Space, Kranos glanced around at the expanse of white and felt a slight calmness in his mind.

After staring at the endless darkness, the light was like a beacon of hope in the darkness.

Kranos slowly approached the box, not too far away.

Reaching the large mysterious box in the middle, he tried to open it.

Although he knew that the box wouldn’t budge, every time that Kranos entered into the Time Space, he loved trying to find out if he could open it.

He had a feeling in his heart that whatever was inside the box was probably heaven-defying.

Unfortunately, just like before, the box refused to budge in the slightest, not opening.

Kranos frowned, then shook his head and turned his attention to the other remaining box.

Placing his hand inside, the same sensation washed over him and caused him to feel a peculiar sensation.

Kranos frowned and then slowly withdrew his hand after undergoing the mysterious baptism of time.

Removing his hand, he noticed that, just as before, a strange scroll had appeared in his hand.

Kranos stared at the boldly inscribed writing on the cover of the book.

It read… ‘Time Monarch Cultivation Manual.’

Kranos opened it lightly and then began reading through the information on how to break through into the Time Core Realm.

Soon he shook his head and closed his eyes in deep thought.

‘It seems to break through to the Time Monarch Realm I would need to slowly infiltrate my Time Palace and shatter it, causing my time energy to be as free as the wind, only obeying my control.’

The process sounded simple, but Kranos had to synergize with every strand of time in his Time Palace and then slowly disintegrate it, while making sure that none of them got wasted. It was a tedious process. Fortunately, Kranos had enough time on his hands with no one to disturb him.

Kranos sighed and then turned his attention back to the void, withdrawing himself from the Time Space.

Staring at the vast expanse of darkness and void that had appeared in front of him once again, Kranos sighed and then closed his eyes and began comprehending the technique.

Kranos recalled what had happened when he broke through into the Time Palace Realm using a unique technique, having the ability to transcend time and study another cultivator.

Now he was thinking of ways to modify the Time Monarch technique so he would break through using a peculiar method once more, gaining the acknowledgement of the system and being able to comprehend another time cultivation technique from a time cultivator.

Just the thought of it sent a thrill through Kranos’ heart and mind.

Fortunately, he had enough time to modify the time cultivation technique and form countless simulations in his mind using the rapid thought technique.

Kranos closed his eyes, ignoring the void once again, and began running countless simulations of the technique in his mind.

He had enough time on his hands, and so he used it to the best of his ability.

Like this, time passed, and soon an unknown amount of days had passed.

It was at this moment, after drifting through the void for a few years, that Kranos finally opened his eyes, a silver light flashing through them.

‘I’ve gotten it!’ Kranos’ eyes brimmed with joy as he stared at the void.

After some thought, he had finally found a way to modify the Time Monarch technique.

Rather than dwelling on the fact that one could turn their time energy into drifting wind using the time cultivation technique, Kranos recalled the images of the God Realm cultivators from before.

They had been able to condense a domain. So Kranos had a thought.

‘What if, rather than just destroying my Time Palace and letting the energy of time wander around in my Time Space, I use it to form my own domain?’

Using this domain, he could better control his time abilities.

Kranos knew that this was the right thing to do.

‘With this, perhaps when I breakthrough, the technique I will receive will be a way to finally head back to the Immortal Worlds, or at least somewhere that isn’t so… boring.’

Kranos was excited at the thought and immediately began absorbing the essence of time in the void.

Previously, he had halted his cultivation just so he could modify the time cultivation technique. Now he could finally continue and increase his strength once more.

There was also the fact that during this time, Kranos’ comprehension of his time abilities had increased drastically. Now all his techniques could work at roughly ten seconds!

This was an extremely special development, and Kranos was pleased by it.

The essence of time in the surroundings rapidly entered his mind space, and at the same time, Kranos was synergizing with it, quickly using the time energy he was gathering to destroy the Time Palace.

It was quite similar to destroying one’s own cultivation.

Kranos was slightly fearful of doing this, but after repeatedly confirming with the cultivation manual that there was nothing wrong, he decided to continue with the process.

Here in the void, his mana cultivation wasn’t nearly as fast as his time cultivation. Kranos didn’t want to waste any time in this vast expanse of darkness.

Fearing he might run mad before he even had the chance to cultivate the technique in the form of mana, he decided to make a bold decision once again.

Time passed excruciatingly slowly, and soon Kranos heard a faint cracking noise coming from his Time Palace.

Kranos’ heart skipped a beat, and he quickly snapped his gaze in the direction of his mental space, studying it.

He realized that in his mental space, a faint crack had appeared.

Fortunately, it was part of the process of his breakthrough.

Kranos was extremely meticulous with the process, not endangering his Time Palace in the slightest, as he slowly, cautiously spread the time energy through it, destroying it.

In the air, faint silver trails began appearing.

There was no need to guess; Kranos knew that this was the essence of time present.

The essence slowly condensed, and Kranos watched as it flowed freely in his mental space.

However, this time essence was still under his control. Because of that, he quickly condensed them, trying to form them into a domain.

After watching the cultivators back at the divine cultivator inheritance use domains, Kranos had gained a physical idea of how domains looked, but even then, it was very difficult to condense a domain.

The process lasted for a while, and soon a frown formed on Kranos’ face.

As though on instinct, he removed his thought from the location of the Time Space he was in.

Staring ahead, he noticed an explosion occur.

Failure!

After trying, in the end he had failed to condense the Time Domain.

Kranos wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. It just showed that with time he would be able to condense the Time Domain.

This would be the most unique domain in the whole world. Kranos was excited.

Perhaps he would be the first person in all the immortal and divine worlds to condense a Time Domain while still at the Monarch Realm.

Kranos regained his composure and then turned his attention back to condensing the Time Palace.

Soon his mysterious time aura spread again.

A few minutes passed, and Kranos had been able to disintegrate a part of the Time Palace again.

He tried forming the Time Domain again. However, the same scene as before played out.

Kranos frowned, then turned his attention to the Time Palace once more.

However…

Failure!

Failure!

Failure!

Kranos was exasperated but kept on trying. The Time Palace was slowly chipping away; however, Kranos was relentless.

With every failure, he was slowly improving himself and perfecting his flaws.

Time passed swiftly, and after numerous failures… his eyes finally lit up at the sight before him.

Success!

Success at last…

“Hahaha.” His thunderous laughter spread throughout the void, and Kranos was extremely excited at the thought.

A mysterious aura of a monarch spread out from Kranos, engulfing him.

Kranos had finally become the Time Monarch!
