Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 222 Time VS Space

The luster on the forged blade suddenly surged!

Bai Yang changed his sword style and clashed fiercely with the Earth-Splitting Blade several times.

In the final strike, the weapons in both men's hands vibrated violently at the same time, and they were thrown apart with a bang!

"He's not a cultivator of the metal element laws, yet he was able to withstand [Interference] and [Severing Edge]!"

He has grasped the profound meaning of the matter very deeply!

The two stepped back a few paces and stood still again.

Rong Jun looked at Bai Yang, a hint of seriousness appearing on his face for the first time.

"You can still hold a sword!"

Bai Yang said, "Same here. Shall we continue?"

"No need. My swordsmanship is inferior to yours. To defeat you, I must reveal my trump card!"

A billion people in the audience were stunned, as were countless people in hundreds of millions of galaxies watching the broadcast.

At this moment, countless people throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom were stunned.

"Is this guy kidding me?! He hasn't even used his full strength yet?!"

Thor was somewhat surprised.

Luo Feng and Hong's faces changed color, and for the first time they began to worry about Bai Yang. This Rong Jun was really too terrifying!

They couldn't imagine what other tricks he might use.

In the center of the arena, Rong Jun's tall figure seemed to blur for a moment, and suddenly he split into two!

Then they each rushed toward Bai Yang at an incredibly terrifying speed!

Inside the massive structure on the floating island of the Qianwu Continent.

These great figures, who were previously indifferent and unconcerned, became indifferent after witnessing this scene.

"impossible!"

"The fundamental law of space!"

"Moreover, his comprehension is quite high, in no way inferior to his comprehension of the fundamental laws of earth. He can even distort space to create clones."

"Our Qianwu Universe Kingdom hasn't produced such a peerless genius in many years."

If a cosmic-level powerhouse can cross the threshold of the laws, he is already considered a remarkable genius, but that kind of genius belongs to the 'galaxy-level' genius category.

As for Rong Jun!

He simultaneously perceived the "earth" and "space," and his perceptions were quite profound, yet he was only at the Eternal level!

He belongs to the category of geniuses among all of humanity in the universe! And he's among the top of the top!

Luo Feng, who had been studying Absolute Space diligently, instantly understood what the other party was up to.

The space around Rong Jun has been distorted by him, which is why it creates an effect similar to a 'mirror clone'.

Both of these bodies are real!

Although they are essentially the same thing, they are just located in different spatial regions at the same time!

But for most people, Rong Jun's strength was still equivalent to instantly doubling!

How could Bai Yang possibly withstand such a surge in power?!

He only had a slight advantage at best before!

Bai Yang saw Rong Jun rushing towards him from both sides, but instead of retreating, he advanced!

He immediately chose the one to his right and went to meet it!

The two men's swords clashed fiercely once again, neither willing to give way, resulting in a stalemate!

But at that moment, Rong Jun on the left arrived!

Without hesitation, he swung the earth-shattering blade at Bai Yang's head!

"not good!"

Luo Feng and his two companions were thrilled, and like countless others, they couldn't help but stand up!

On the left, Rong Jun unleashed a mysterious blade of light with incredible speed, slashing straight into Bai Yang's brain!

"What...?"

Rong Jun on the right had a drastic change in expression, realizing that he hadn't actually hit anything!

But the other party is definitely not an illusion!

I just exchanged a move with him, and that was definitely Bai Yang's true form!

Suddenly his eyes lit up as Bai Yang emitted a terrifying light!

At this moment, Rong Jun on the left had disappeared after unleashing his attack!

Only Rong Jun's true form remained in place on the right!

The enormous light instantly engulfed him!

Countless figures suddenly emerged from Bai Yang's body, raising their forged swords and stabbing them at Rong Jun!

The burly young man was instantly pierced through the body by more than a dozen long swords and died instantly!

Congratulations, Bai Yang!!!

"Bai Yang wins this battle! He has also earned a spot in our Qianwu Universe Kingdom, qualifying him to represent the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in a showdown with geniuses from other universe kingdoms."

"Let us look forward to... Bai Yang winning even greater honors in the arena where geniuses from numerous cosmic nations clash."

boom!

The entire arena erupted in cheers from the billion spectators, some cheering for Bai Yang, others for Rong Jun and the Wild Man.

Although it all happened so fast, most viewers didn't really understand what was going on.

"I see."

Luo saw all of this from the audience and nodded silently.

"Big brother! Tell me quickly, what just happened?"

Lemonto and Moria couldn't understand what was going on.

"Bai Yang has reached the level of the fundamental law of time."

That was his [Light Body] ability; he temporarily transformed himself into photons, gaining temporary immunity to the attack.

"That's not right! He wasn't surrounded by light at the time; the light appeared later!"

"That's why I said he has grasped the fundamental law of time."

He must have just grasped this concept, and in this respect, he can't compare to Rong Jun's understanding of space.

So he didn't fight head-on. After activating his talent, he moved the light on his body to 1 second later.

Otherwise, Rong Jun wouldn't be stupid enough to attack him just because he saw something was wrong with his body.

This must be something that requires comprehending the fundamental laws of time and manipulating the flow of time.

"Then what about those phantoms? What are they?" Moria still didn't understand.

"That should be the second level of the Divine Forging Edge realm, [Vertical and Horizontal]!"

It elevates the essence of [Speed], creating numerous illusory bodies through ultra-high-speed movement, and then slightly altering time.

They achieved the effect of attacking almost simultaneously in the blink of an eye, killing Rong Jun in one strike.

However, being a beginner, he could only maintain it for a negligible moment.

If Rong Jun hadn't been so shocked and hadn't suddenly lost his sight, things might not have been so easy.

The two immortals were stunned by what they heard; they had never imagined that such a method existed!

……

Inside the enormous building on the floating island above the Qianwu Continent.

The immortal beings were all discussing the battle that had just taken place.

"How long has it been since a battle of this caliber has occurred in the history of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom's Genius Tournament?"

"Comprehending two fundamental methods! And two people have done it! I don't recall ever seeing this before!"

"If even one person like that appears, they will be remembered for millions of years, let alone two?"

"Bai Yang is definitely ranked number one in our universe, or at least in the top 100 in the entire universe. His chances of breaking into the top ten are extremely high!"

He actually possesses the talent of [Light Body] and has even comprehended the fundamental laws of time! He's been hiding it far too well!

"Yes! But Rong Jun is also quite good. The outcome of the next fight is still uncertain. He definitely has the potential to compete for a place in the top ten of the universe."

Bai Yang's last-minute response was truly astonishing; he wasn't calm enough yet, which is something he can work on.

……

The duel in the arena ended completely on the same day that Bai Yang and Rong Jun competed.

If Luo Feng hadn't encountered Rong Jun, his advancement would have been a foregone conclusion.

Many immortals were shocked by his strength, but he felt that he had many shortcomings.

After Bai Yang logged off, he suddenly received a friend request from Rong Jun and accepted it without hesitation.

"I lost."
