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

Chapter 373 The Tides of the River of Time

No matter how high Baiyang's understanding of the Laws is, he is still no match for an Immortal at the Marquis level.

He had competed with Heqia and was well aware of the gap between the two levels.

At this moment, the two were only comparing their cultivation of the secret technique "Time-Forged Light and Sound," which was a contest of their mastery of the secret pattern diagrams and the power of the ripples.

Bai Yang also suddenly discovered that his freakish physique actually had untapped potential!

After practicing this secret technique, the fluctuations of the law of light and the tides of the law of time were observed.

It felt as if it were something real, gently brushing against his body, and he sensed it.

Just as the Half-Prisoner's constitution causes pain from light, these two laws and phenomena have become tangible.

"It's very similar to when I first obtained my spacetime clone and was able to see the arcs of space."

This is a completely new dimension of perception; it's amazing.

He had already obtained the flesh and blood genes of the two innate beast gods of Thunder Time and Wind Time, plus the blood of the beast god of Light Time and his spacetime clone.

Their sensitivity to the tidal fluctuations of the laws of time has long reached a level that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Now, after being awakened by this secret technique, I suddenly discovered this new ability of mine!

This can be considered the innate instinct of the Beast God; there's no need to learn it at all.

Bai Yang's mind went blank. He skipped the seventh diagram of the Dragon's Chaos Stele and thought of the eighth diagram he had seen before.

A timeline of history!

It was a river that symbolized the origin of time in the universe.

Although the river has no banks, it has its own boundaries, even though time itself is omnipresent.

At the edge of the flow of time, one can clearly see the rise and fall of the "river".

Like the tides, there are ups and downs, changes and shifts, even though time itself is eternal.

The second secret pattern of this technique, which focuses on time, was imprinted in his mind, and he finally had a vague understanding of it.

Bai Yang was suddenly inspired, and the time-based sound waves emanating from the longsword in his hand suddenly had a unified frequency.

It was synchronized with the tidal changes of the river of time on the Chaos Stele.

At that moment, his time-sound waves seemed to breathe, to come alive.

The rise and fall of the river of time, seemingly without any pattern, like the endless change of pi, now revealed a certain structure in his eyes.

"what?"

Among Prince Gegotello and the surrounding cultivators, many noticed Bai Yang's unusual behavior.

His swordsmanship and moves remained unchanged, but the clash of their weapons generated an even greater shock!

The released time-based sound waves, guided by his tidal rhythm, actually attacked the opponent.

Bai Yang actually used the opponent's attack power to counterattack himself!

The changes in light and shadow around the two people, as well as the rate of time flow, increased significantly.

A middle-aged Dream Winger watching from the sidelines looked completely bewildered.

"Many martial artists below the planetary level know a technique called 'using the opponent's force against them'."

However, applying this line of thinking to the understanding of laws...

I have never seen the "Time-Forged Light and Sound" used in this way.

"Never seen it before."

"I've never seen it either."

"The law of light can be reflected back using the profound principle of refraction, but the law of time can also be used to counterattack?"

That was truly unexpected.

"My understanding of the tides of time was too narrow before."

Georgello saw even more, and was even more shocked.

"Some of these techniques are clearly the essence of the Water Law: Ripples!"

Bai Yang also studied this aspect of the law?

Moreover, its level and affinity with the laws are not low.

He was not mistaken.

Bai Yang's multiple insights into the laws and his affinity for them often manifest themselves unconsciously.

The two players on the field have reached a point where there's no need for them to fight anymore.

That immortal marquis seemed to be on par with him all along.

But everyone could see that he was using the profound mysteries of the laws to force a 50/50 match with Bai Yang.

No matter what kind of attack he makes, Bai Yang will withstand five parts of it, neutralize three parts, and then the remaining two parts will be bounced back by the Time Ripple.

With each side gaining and losing, no one can withstand such a drain over time.

The immortal being himself felt listless, and suddenly flapped his wings, retreating several meters, shouting...

"I'm not fighting anymore! I'm not fighting anymore! You win."

Bai Yang also sheathed his sword without pursuing the enemy.

The immortal figure was tall and thin, wearing a gray robe, with rather messy hair and feathers on his wings.

Looking at Bai Yang, he asked, "Which family are you from? What brings you to my clan's sacred ground?"

Before Bai Yang could answer, Gegotello spoke up:

"Xius, he is Prince Baiyang who has conquered the cosmic-level Tongtian Mountain."

He's here as a special envoy to the Yuan Chen Universe Kingdom, and I brought him here to take a look.

He is also my son-in-law.

Upon hearing the words "crossing Tongtian Mountain," the surrounding cultivators all showed expressions of understanding.

They all understood the significance of this; this was the greatest genius of the entire human race in this era.

Hughes looked at Bai Yang with surprise and asked, "Is he your son-in-law?"

Jagotro smiled, a hint of pride in his eyes, and said:

"One of my good-for-nothing great-grandsons adopted a goddaughter named Aichen, who is now his wife."

Bai Yang smiled and nodded to those around him, agreeing with this statement.

Hughes laughed heartily: "So it's the son-in-law returning home after his wedding. He's definitely one of us."

"Then come and practice with me often from now on. I think you have a real talent for this secret technique."

Bai Yang was secretly surprised to learn who this person was, speaking so casually to Prince Gegotero.

Everyone around him seemed to take it for granted, and he didn't ask any questions, just smiled and nodded in agreement.

Even without anyone telling him, he would find a way to understand this.

Prince Gegotero then led Bai Yang away from there and back to the state banquet venue, where the ceremony began at the appointed time.

As the supervisory envoy of the Virtual Universe Company, Bai Yang is theoretically the fourth giant of the Yuan Chen Universe Country Company.

This kind of status doesn't require much concern even when facing the Yuan Chen royal family, and the Mengluo Wing Clan royal family has given them plenty of face.

The state banquet was extremely grand, featuring a variety of delicacies that he had never heard of or seen before.

He ate to his heart's content, and people from all walks of life immediately came forward to offer him a toast, which he politely accepted and became a familiar face to.

Only when they met Aichen's adoptive parents did they have a few extra words to talk to.

The couple looked very young and had no airs of elders at all; they got along well.

Bai Yang also praised the entire Dream Wing Clan extensively, winning widespread favor.

After the dinner, it was time for a private meeting, as is customary.

Bai Yang arranged to meet Prince Gegotero in a side hall for a detailed discussion.

Seeing his serious expression, the other party immediately agreed.

Soon the two were sitting in two armchairs and began to chat in a relaxed manner.

"Your Highness, I have a question for you, and I hope you can answer it."

"Please feel free to ask if the special envoy needs anything."

Do you know where the [Dream Conch] fell?

Upon hearing this, Prince Gegotello immediately sat up straight.

Looking intently at Bai Yang, he asked, "Why are you asking this?"
