Chapter 1412 - 1409: Leaving West Mansion City

After figuring out the utility of this Golden Compass, Ye Qiu only felt a cold sweat on his back, as though he had narrowly escaped death.

When Ouyang Kuang used this Golden Compass, it should have only been to use its first type of power, merely to enhance his own strength.

Moreover, Ouyang Kuang had just elevated his strength and hadn't had time to unleash it when Ye Qiu had already used the Time Stop ability of the Path of the Divine Realm to swiftly kill Ouyang Kuang with a sword, leaving him without time to defend.

It can be said that Ye Qiu just happened to exploit an opportunity; Ouyang Kuang hadn't managed to truly unleash the Golden Compass's full power before being killed by Ye Qiu.

Holding this Golden Compass, Ye Qiu could clearly feel that within it, there was an accumulation of Blood Qi like an endless sea of blood, the energy incredibly immense!!!

The Ouyang Family had long used this Golden Compass to absorb an untold amount of Blood Qi from countless people, amassing power over countless years.

Bear in mind, even a super powerhouse like Ouyang Kuang, who reached the Peak of Human Realm in Divinity Transformation, could see his strength soar to insane levels after absorbing some of the Blood Qi emitted by this Golden Compass.

Suppose the third ability of the Golden Compass is unleashed, and all the Blood Qi inside it is released and detonated at once; the impact could possibly be more powerful than a nuclear explosion, enough to wipe out a provincial capital city from the map permanently...

That kind of power is chilling to think about, sending shivers down the spine.

If Ouyang Kuang had indeed activated the Golden Compass's power and detonated all the Blood Qi inside, the resulting explosion would have been something Ye Qiu, in his state at that time, absolutely could not withstand; he would have been obliterated instantly.

It can be said that Ye Qiu's survival was incredibly fortunate, narrowly escaping disaster once again.

Fortunately, the Golden Compass is now in Ye Qiu's hands, giving him an additional trump card.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu felt more confident about the time when he would confront the Ouyang Family or when their powerhouses would come after him, providing him with some reassurance in dealing with those formidable foes.

After researching the Golden Compass and essentially figuring out its functions, Ye Qiu put it away and turned to study the Path of the Divine Realm he'd just mastered.

Between Divine Realm Powerhouses, besides the gap in sheer strength, the abilities of the "Dao" they each master, their power, and usage methods are the most crucial factors.

Moreover, as Ouyang Xuan said, after breaking through the Divine Realm, to progress further, even to break through to the Earth Realm in Divinity Transformation, one must rely on the power of the Path of the Divine Realm, which is why those who haven't mastered it can't advance further.

In addition, whether a Divine Realm Powerhouse has mastered the Path of the Divine Realm makes a world of difference in combat power.

Just think about it, whether it's Ouyang Xuan's ability to freeze everything with cold air, or Ouyang Kuang's fire that instantly melts steel and turns the ground into magma underfoot, these are not something ordinary Divine Realm Powerhouses can endure.

Therefore, whether to advance his Realm further or enhance his strength, Ye Qiu must make the power of the "Dao" he masters stronger.

Ye Qiu's power in the Path of the Divine Realm is not weak; on the contrary, Ouyang Kuang was astonished at how abnormal Ye Qiu's Path of the Divine Realm was.

Because the power Ye Qiu mastered is a 'space-time type' ability, involving time and space, which are the most fundamental forces in Heaven and Earth Laws.

As is well known, when strength reaches a certain level, battles are calculated in milliseconds, with dozens to hundreds of exchanges per second being normal; any momentary pause or relaxation might lead to fatal consequences.

And Ye Qiu's mastery of the Path of the Divine Realm allows him to directly pause, freezing a space in place, then act as he wishes for nearly two seconds.

This illustrates the extraordinariness and abnormality of Ye Qiu's mastery of the Path of the Divine Realm.

Unfortunately, Ye Qiu's Time Stop ability has various limitations; once he attacks during the stop, the space-breaking effect disrupts the pause, and he needs to expend a lot of Inner Strength and mental energy to maintain his ability. Despite having two seconds of pause, he can only land a punch on his opponent.

However, even with such significant limitations, if used wisely, it's enough to deal with a super powerhouse like Ouyang Kuang. As for ordinary Divine Realm Powerhouses, it allows for an overwhelming advantage.

Moreover, through training, Ye Qiu might be able to enhance his power in the Path of the Divine Realm, lifting many constraints and extending the duration of the Time Stop.

At that time, Ye Qiu's capabilities in the Path of the Divine Realm would be something truly terrifying!!!

Therefore, Ye Qiu's upcoming training involves trying to wield the power of the Path of the Divine Realm, attempting to sense and enhance, develop his abilities, and explore more ways and techniques.

As Ye Qiu continued his training, he gradually became more proficient in mastering the Time Stop ability.

...

Ye Qiu didn't linger long in West Mansion City.

After recuperating from his injuries and training for a bit, Ye Qiu prepared to leave West Mansion City.

Because Ye Qiu knew very well that after killing Ouyang Kuang and seizing the terrifying treasure of the Slaughter Compass, the Ouyang Family would definitely not let him go.

By now, the Ouyang Family had probably already started sending people to hunt him down.

Therefore, it was not advisable to stay in West Mansion City for long.

Of course, before leaving West Mansion City, Ye Qiu did not forget to wrap up some matters in West Mansion City before departing.

For instance, regarding Ge Zhou's family, out of guilt for Ge Zhou's death for his sake, Ye Qiu felt somewhat awkward when conveying the news of Ge Zhou's death to his family.

Fortunately, Ge Zhou had probably already informed his family about some of his circumstances, so they seemed somewhat prepared for his death, accepting it after a brief silence.

Nonetheless, Ye Qiu felt even more guilty about it. After settling Ge Zhou's family, he reminded the members of the Black Tiger Association to assist Ge Zhou's family if they encountered any trouble.

The gangsters of the Black Tiger Association naturally hurriedly agreed to Ye Qiu's orders, as they were nearly scared out of their wits upon learning of the Ma Family's downfall after receiving Ye Qiu's call.

To them, a colossal entity like the Ma Family disappearing just like that was unimaginable, and it was highly likely that Ye Qiu singlehandedly brought about the Ma Family's destruction, which shocked them even more.

Of course, the Black Tiger Association had only ever interacted with entities on the level of the Ma Family; if they knew about the existence of the Hidden Clan and that Ouyang Kuang had also been killed by Ye Qiu, they would likely be even more astonished.
