After the outburst, Jiang Ming still had a tactic he hadn’t used.
He didn’t respond and struck directly.
“Time Stop!”
Without any visible action, everything around him came to an immediate halt, even their thoughts stopped working.
Space Freeze cannot affect the internal and even less so thoughts.
But time is different.
Once it stops, everything within the range seems to be paused, even thoughts
are halted in an instant.
In just one-tenth of the blink of an eye, Jiang Ming felt the power of time covering the First Sword Emperor shattering into pieces.
It was effective, but the duration was too short.
Jiang Ming’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“The power of time!” The First Sword Emperor showed a shocked expression, “You have actually comprehended such power; looking at the battlefield of all races, billions of races can master time only through extremely rare racial talents, and who else can realize it? In the history of our human race, only three have ever realized the power of years, which is just a branch of time’s power. Just now, you actually made time come to a stop.”
“Time Stop, which stops everything. How did you break it?” Jiang Ming asked.
“If it were the Time Stop of the entire universe, I would have no way of breaking it, but this power of time comes from you, carrying your own mark.” The First Sword Emperor explained, “For the strong, once there’s an invasion of external forces, there will naturally be instinctive resistance. Although thinking is stopped, the power of life and the cultivation power, among other things, possess extremely terrifying resistance. Once this exceeds the bearing capacity of the power of time, it naturally breaks.”
“In other words, the stronger the cultivation level, or the stronger the vitality, the stronger the resistance to external forces. Whether it’s the power of time or the power of curse?” Jiang Ming speculated.
“Exactly!” The First Sword Emperor nodded, “Let’s try it again.”
“Alright!” Jiang Ming sensed the surging powerful aura on the opponent, who had clearly activated his internal defenses, even covering Divine Kingdom Projection around him.
He used Time Stop again.
The power spread, penetrating into the Divine Kingdom Projection, and it shattered as soon as it touched the body.
“Do you understand now?” The First Sword Emperor asked with a smile.
“I understand!” Jiang Ming said, “No matter how strong the power of time is, it is ultimately just a force within the rules of the universe, not invincible.”
“Although it may not be invincible, it can cause devastating consequences when unexpected.” The First Sword Emperor’s eyes flickered, and the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile, “Next, you can work harder on the path of time, striving to reduce the range of Time Stop’s coverage, the smaller the range, the stronger its power should be.”
Jiang Ming nodded; he naturally understood the importance of this. He made another request, which was to continue the contest. He hoped to make progress under the pressure of his opponent and adapt to the methods of the twelfth realm.
The First Sword Emperor of course, agreed.
Next, Jiang Ming fought with his martial arts skills.
He also activated Pocket World Projection for defense.
In the Endless Starry Sky, sword energy soared, cutting through the stars. As the surroundings were vast and empty, the two went all out, freely displaying their power.
This also made Hong Xuanji, who was watching the battle, feel moved. “This kid, he’s really abnormal, he can comprehend the power of time, and he can actually hold on against that old man Qin Yun. Moreover, his breath is getting stronger and more solid, especially the Pocket World Projection, which is expanding non-stop under the Divine Kingdom Projection. There is only one possibility…”
“Jiang Ming’s fusion with the rules is getting deeper and more perfect.”
“With such a talent, even I am out of reach.”
Hong Xuanji watched the battle and pondered, feeling a lot of stirrings in his heart.
Three days later, he had to leave.
He couldn’t be away from Saint Academy; after all, it concerned the foundation and needed constant connection with Xuanhuang Academy.
Half a month later.
“Brother Jiang, I’ll use the ultimate power of suppression now, be careful!” As the First Sword Emperor spoke, the Divine Kingdom Projection suddenly became more solid, suppressing thousands of auras, and forming a truly independent space.
This was Divine Kingdom Manifestation.
Its power increased by more than tenfold.
In an instant, Jiang Ming’s Pocket World Projection, which originally covered an area of about a hundred feet, was compressed to about three feet.
“You can actually withstand it, good, very good, excellent!” The First Sword Emperor couldn’t help but rejoice, “In just half a month, your progress has far exceeded my expectations. Brother Jiang, your sharpening has reached its limit. Next, you can go to the treasury, and take whatever you need directly.
“Brother Qin, thank you so much.” Jiang Ming bowed his hands and was truly grateful.
In the past half month, the opponent had been treating him as a whetstone.
Not only did they have a contest, but the opponent also continuously explained some key points and maintained a very high level of strength, allowing him to make rapid progress under immense pressure.
Now he had a brand-new understanding of the integration of rules.
“However, I have consumed a lot. What if I consume everything in the treasury? How can I explain?” Jiang Ming hesitated.
-In extraordinary times, one must do extraordinary things.” The First Sword Emperor said seriously, “What matters most now is the war between the races; everything else can be set aside. Brother, go ahead, as long as you can improve your strength, even if you really exhaust the treasury, it doesn’t matter.’
“In that case, I’ll take my leave!”
After bidding farewell to Jiang Ming, he didn’t rush to cultivate but returned to Saint Academy and contacted Qin Zhiyan.
They hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
In Qin Zhiyan’s villa, Jiang Ming sat and watched her make tea, pour tea, and then happily prepared food for him herself.
Qin Zhiyan also kept talking about her own affairs: “There hasn’t been much happening here. Besides cultivating, I’ve been taking compulsory courses and entering the war network for actual combat training. When I reached the bottleneck, I applied to enter the Secret Realm to enhance my strength. Now I’ve reached the Seventh Realm of Martial Arts, impressive, right?”
After bringing the last pot of soup over, Qin Zhiyan sat opposite him, her face flushed.
“Impressive!” Jiang Ming gave her a thumbs up, “Don’t be too hard on yourself.” “If I don’t push myself, I’U be left far behind in your dust.” Qin Zhiyan sighed softly, although she couldn’t sense Jiang Ming’s specific cultivation level, but just standing by his side, she could feel tremendous pressure.
She knew the gap was too big.
Qin Zhiyan continued talking about her daily life.
For example, there was once an alien race invading from the stars, with battleships as big as planets. Their weapons could easily shatter stars, but these ships were cut in half by powerful fighters from Saint Academy.
And so on.
It was then that she realized how insignificant the Seventh Realm of Martial
Arts was.
“How is it going for you?” Qin Zhiyan poured a glass of wine for Jiang Ming and softly asked.
-Over there…” Jiang Ming sighed, hesitated for a moment, but still roughly recounted his experiences.
Qin Zhiyan was shocked: “How cruel!”
The Land of the Lost, the Lost God, the Death Domain…
The Ten Thousand Races.
Eight realms are as common as dogs, nine realms roam the land.
It’s only the tenth realm that can be considered as strong.
How incredible it was.
“Can we withstand the war between the races?” Qin Zhiyan’s face showed worry, as she looked at Jiang Ming and her face was full of love, unconsciously standing up and cuddling up to him..
