Chapter 413 - 411: Becoming Powerful Again with His Own Abilities

Chapter 413: Chapter 411: Becoming Powerful Again with His Own Abilities

The most obvious change was that Bai Di’s attack speed had started to slow.

Su Qing could feel his own distinct progress.

The Dao Seeds within his body periodically erupted with power.

Slowly, with the help of the Cosmic Divine Techniques, Su Qing began to gain a continuous, deeper understanding of his own abilities.

This was a kind of comprehension that was difficult to describe.

His understanding of Time was gradually expanding.

This battle had lasted for a long, long time.

It had gone on for several Taichu Eras.

There weren’t many spectators left.

It had gotten boring.

In the broadcasted images, you couldn’t even see how the two were exchanging blows.

It wasn’t just Su Qing who was improving; Bai Di was as well.

The speed of his progress was only slightly inferior to Su Qing’s.

If not for his inability to harm Bai Di, Su Qing would have ended this duel long ago.

Time was king, but so was Space.

Neither Su Qing nor his opponent could truly harm the other.

But they could both feel each other’s progress.

For instance, the number of spectators outside had grown significantly.

Even Zhu Yuan and Yu Hu would watch the battle in their free time.

The techniques of the two combatants grew more and more sophisticated.

Furthermore, their control over their own power had reached an absurd level.

"Bai Di, try out my new move."

Fierce flames of Time began to burn around Su Qing.

If an ordinary person were to touch them, they would decay with time until not even dust remained.

"I’m ready. If I can’t handle it, that’ll be on me."

Bai Di was already convinced he could withstand Su Qing’s techniques.

Over these several Taichu Eras, the two had been fighting incessantly, and the battle had become a true back-and-forth.

A few times, Su Qing had almost managed to strike Bai Di’s true body.

But Bai Di quickly found the flaws in his own Boundless Body and perfected it further.

Moreover, Bai Di’s Spatial Power and Su Qing’s Power of Time were constantly improving. Their progress was obvious, and neither would yield to the other.

"I’ve figured out your Boundless Body," Su Qing declared proudly.

"Right now, I also possess a Boundless Body."

"So let me be the one to end this battle!"

In an instant, a terrifying flame erupted from the surrounding space.

Under these flames of Time, even this Cosmos was wildly changing, decaying, and disintegrating.

When it landed on Bai Di’s Boundless Body...

In an instant, both Su Qing and Bai Di appeared on the Taichu Dao Platform.

"Bastard! Holy shit!" Bai Di suddenly yelled. After seeing Su Qing, his numb eyes erupted with fury as he shouted,

"Holy shit, how long was I in there? It felt like just a moment."

"I feel like I was trapped in a prison of time for tens of thousands of Taichu Eras!"

"The key thing is, my consciousness was trapped! I couldn’t feel any of my power at all. You made me waste tens of thousands of Taichu Eras!"

"Bai Di, it was a test from Time for you," Su Qing chuckled.

"I did say I was going to end this battle, after all. But putting that aside, thank you for fighting with me. It’s been a long time since I’ve met such an evenly matched opponent."

Bai Di said self-deprecatingly, "As expected, the Power of Time is stranger after all. I never thought my Boundless Body had such a weakness."

"This time, I’ve lost completely."

"I’ll be back to challenge you again next time."

After they finished speaking, they noticed many powerful experts spectating nearby.

They all nodded towards Su Qing and Bai Di.

Some were at the same Realm as Su Qing, while others might have been even stronger.

There weren’t that many, only about a hundred or so.

Once Su Qing and Bai Di appeared on the Taichu Dao Platform, almost half of the experts had already left.

Yu Hu and Zhu Yuan both came up to them.

"Su Qing, I never would have thought... you actually fought Bai Di to a standstill. What technique did you use at the end to finish the fight?" Zhu Yuan asked, completely baffled.

After all, some of the techniques used were already far beyond their comprehension.

"It was fire. I turned Time into flames to burn away Bai Di’s time."

"Combined with my understanding of the Boundless Body, I was able to defeat Bai Di in one go."

"Su Qing, you just wait! I’m going to go research for another Star Sea Era. When the time comes, I’ll comprehend Time Power too and perfect my Boundless Body. Let’s see how you’ll deal with me then!"

Bai Di was extremely bitter, never having expected his Boundless Body to have such a flaw.

"Of course. You can challenge me anytime," Su Qing said with a smile and a nod.

...

This was the first time Su Qing had fought a battle that lasted for several years.

His battles were rarely this complicated.

If it weren’t for Su Qing limiting himself, on top of Bai Di’s rather shameless Boundless Body...

Su Qing had spent years searching for a method before finally finding a flaw in the Boundless Body.

He had also secretly learned the Boundless Body on the side.

The Boundless Body was a powerful Divine Technique.

Once cast, one was essentially impervious to harm.

It existed outside of any domain, unaffected by any power within them.

This was why Su Qing couldn’t strike his opponent.

How could one dimension strike another?

They weren’t even on the same plane of existence.

If Su Qing hadn’t discovered the greatest flaw in the Boundless Body at the very end, he truly might not have won.

’That guy is seriously strong.’

And just like Su Qing, he was only at the Seed Dao Peak.

Su Qing could sense that this guy was founded on Space, having forged his Dao Seeds entirely from Spatial Power.

He walked a path of extreme specialization.

Unlike Su Qing, whose path was more comprehensive.

...

"Su Qing, how are you improving so fast?"

Zhu Yuan had followed Su Qing into the Taichu Book Land.

"Talent," Su Qing answered softly.

’If this were in the past, I would have unhesitatingly taken out a Rule-leaf for my friend to try. But things are different now. I don’t want to offer anything. I’ve already learned the consequences of rashly changing another person’s fate, and I know I can’t bear them.’

"Talent? I’m a member of the Candle Dragon Race."

"My Talent should be stronger than yours, no matter how you look at it."

"So why are you progressing even faster than me?"

"That’s because my Talent is just too strong," Su Qing said, a smug smile on his face and his tone full of pride.

He had a very punchable look on his face.

But there was nothing to be done. Zhu Yuan knew he couldn’t beat him anymore.

"You..." Zhu Yuan grumpily managed one word before falling silent.

"You know something?"

"Actually, by the Taichu Era calendar, I haven’t even existed in the Star Sea for a hundred Taichu Eras yet," Su Qing chuckled lightly.

"I’m not being arrogant, I’m just self-aware."

After Su Qing’s explanation, a certain Candle Dragon, who was already three Star Sea Eras old, completely broke down.

"Impossible! You’re lying to me, right?"

"Not even a hundred Taichu Eras?"

"Of course."

Seeing Su Qing admit it, Zhu Yuan left indignantly. "How is this world still so unfair? The arrangements of fate are so unfair!"

’The arrangements of fate...’ Su Qing fell silent.

’Yes, everything is arranged by fate. It’s just that I escaped its arrangements with the help of the Synthesizer. Now, even without the Synthesizer, I can create so many Techniques. It’s time to take these Spatial Techniques and the Techniques of Time Operation and synthesize them once more.’

Su Qing wanted an ultimate Synthesis Technique.

’Nine, nine of them.’

’No, that’s not right. There aren’t nine at all. After this, I can synthesize six Techniques at most, and I’ll have to fill in the rest with other things.’

’So annoying.’

Su Qing sighed.

’If I had known these later Talent Points would be useless to me, I’d be regretting it now.’

’Too bad there are no do-overs.’
