Chapter 438 - 436: Profound Comprehension, Effortlessly Learning Divine Techniques

Chapter 438: Chapter 436: Profound Comprehension, Effortlessly Learning Divine Techniques

"Hello. Is there something I can help you with?" Su Qing replied politely to the World Master.

"Your Time Power seems extraordinary. I would like to test my strength against your true self."

The World Master could also see that this Su Qing was just a clone.

He wanted to see for himself what the number one expert of the Daoist Initial Realm was capable of.

To see if Su Qing was even stronger than him, an Eleventh Realm expert.

He had previously gone to the Taichu Dao Platform to observe Su Qing’s battle with Ming Ga.

It was a completely one-sided thrashing.

A landslide victory.

Even the World Master had no idea what the true extent of Su Qing’s current power was.

Take certain powers, for example.

They completely disregarded the concept of Realms.

Overwhelming everything with pure strength.

The Devouring Dao Path and the Star Dao Path, for instance.

With these, as long as one continued to grow, they could shatter all techniques with brute force.

A Cultivator who has trained for tens of thousands of Star Sea Eras could fight an Eleventh Realm existence.

Even if their Dao Path had not yet reached the Path of Cultivation,

they could still use pure power to crush the Eleventh Realm expert.

That was the absurd nature of certain Dao Paths.

They defied all logic.

He had witnessed Su Qing’s power firsthand.

Therefore, he concluded that Su Qing’s mastery of the Power of Time very likely surpassed that of most Cultivators.

But the Power of Time had to be comprehended personally.

It wasn’t like the Devouring Dao Path...

...where all you had to do was devour.

That was why the World Master was genuinely curious.

Why was this man so absurdly powerful?

Su Qing had no desire to accept the challenge.

So naturally, he shook his head.

"Whatever Ming Ga gave you, I can give you as well."

The World Master chuckled when he saw Su Qing shake his head in refusal.

’It seems only a proper incentive can move him,’ he thought.

"Fine. For one Source Path Cultivation Method, I’ll give you a match."

"My true self doesn’t need to intervene. If I wish it, this *is* my true self," Su Qing said with a nod.

’Another one just fell into my lap.’

’I just went through so much trouble looking for these.’

’I never thought I’d get famous from one fight.’

’All these beings who want to probe my limits...’

’...are willing to pay such a high price just to make me show my hand.’

Su Qing didn’t know whether to thank Taichu...

...or praise Taichu.

’My previous complaints about Taichu were a bit ungrateful of me.’

He offered a silent apology in his heart.

"Since you’re so confident, I only hope you can give me a unique experience."

The World Master had only heard stories of experts who could ignore disparities in their Realm.

He wanted to see for himself if it was true.

Su Qing seemed to be exactly that kind of existence—one who ignored the gap between Realms.

"Of course. Shall we see what happens?"

"Or... shall we spar right now?"

Su Qing said with a light chuckle.

"A spar?"

"Yes, a spar it is." The World Master actually wanted a life-and-death battle.

After all, that was the only way he could see Su Qing’s true power.

But he was wary.

’But what if...?’

’If that "what if" came to pass, I would really die.’

So, the World Master settled for a spar.

"Let’s go. To the Taichu Dao Platform. I’m eager to see exactly what this new Source Path Cultivation Method is like."

’Two Source Path Cultivation Methods.’

’Once I get them...’

’...synthesizing them will only make me even stronger.’

This time...

...it was a spar.

And quite a few people had come to watch.

Perhaps news had been released in advance.

Su Qing could sense quite a few Eleventh Realm experts among the crowd.

They were likely curious.

After all, this was Su Qing challenging the World Master, leaping over an entire major Realm to do so.

It was a rare spectacle.

It was bound to attract the attention of many Cultivators.

The World Master had already handed over the Source Path Cultivation Method.

The next moment, Su Qing and his opponent entered the Taichu Dao Platform.

Here on the Taichu Dao Platform...

...it was the same old rules.

They waited for the Taichu Dao Platform’s countdown.

"Begin."

...

The World Master struck first. It seemed he also possessed the Power of Time.

But not a great deal of it.

Su Qing didn’t want to end the fight instantly.

So he used his Power of the Stars instead.

He wanted to see just how strong his Power of the Stars had become.

This Power of the Stars...

...was even swifter than the flow of time the World Master occupied.

Su Qing was virtually unaffected by Time.

He could feel the World Master’s power...

...because Su Qing possessed the Power of Time himself.

At this level...

...the only way to fight Time is with Time.

Even Bai Di’s formidable Power of Space was subject to the governance of Time.

That was the difference.

Without even realizing what was happening with the flow of Time, the World Master found he had no way to deal with Su Qing.

Even his most powerful technique, the Time Blade...

...couldn’t land a single hit on Su Qing.

For the first time, the World Master felt a sense of pressure.

’My opponent is clearly only in the Daoist Initial Realm.’

’He’s clearly just a clone.’

The longer the World Master fought, the more disheartened he became.

Especially after Su Qing suddenly activated his Boundless Body.

The World Master couldn’t attack Su Qing at all.

Su Qing was practically unconcerned with his opponent’s attacks.

His opponent had no way of striking the true essence of his clone.

Meanwhile, Su Qing was busy learning his opponent’s techniques.

The World Master’s brow furrowed.

He was completely helpless against him.

"You’ve already won, Su Qing."

"You don’t have any other techniques?" Su Qing asked, puzzled.

’He can’t possibly be out of tricks,’ Su Qing thought. ’Not as a member of the Last Life Clan. There’s no way he doesn’t have other techniques.’

"Very well."

"Since you’re so eager to see it..."

"...then I will let you see it."

"Reversal of Heaven and Earth!"

*Above lies the Ninth Layer of the Luminous Heaven; sun, moon, heaven, and earth reverse in time.*

This was a power that belonged to his Time Royal Family, a power that stemmed from their very bloodline.

As long as his opponent was not stronger than him...

...Time would reverse unceasingly.

It would force his opponent to regress from Postnatal to Innate, until they dissolved into Zihe.

Almost simultaneously, the surrounding Time came to a standstill.

This Divine Technique landed indiscriminately upon Su Qing’s Boundless Body.

For the first time, Su Qing discovered that his Boundless Body had a weakness.

The power that reversed Time began to affect Su Qing’s clone.

’This is a powerful Divine Technique.’

Su Qing instinctively resisted this reversal of Time.

"I didn’t expect this Divine Technique to be so potent," Su Qing remarked with a laugh, completely unafraid.

His mind raced, and he began to analyze the Divine Technique.

Seeing that Su Qing was actually being affected, his opponent intensified the attack.

He used it three more times.

It struck Su Qing’s Boundless Body, and the effect was surely significant.

But Su Qing had previously used the Growth Technique, making himself incredibly powerful.

An ordinary cultivator in the Daoist Initial Realm would likely have been reverted to a toddler with a single move.

Su Qing was still in the process of deciphering these Immortal Techniques.

An hour later.

Su Qing shattered the Divine Technique in an instant.

[Reversal of Heaven and Earth: Immortal Techniques, Reversing Yin Yang Creation, Inverted Time Cause and Effect, Resurrection from Death, From the Elderly to the Young]

[Synthesizable]

"Thank you. I’ll be taking these Divine Techniques off your hands."

Su Qing let out a great laugh.

"As a thank you..."

"...I won’t use the Divine Techniques you just ’gave’ me against you."

Su Qing was being sincere. As a token of his gratitude, he wouldn’t use the techniques he had just learned against their original owner.

If his clan’s signature Divine Techniques were learned by an outsider, he would surely be condemned by his people.

"Stop!" The Authority of Space-Time from within Su Qing’s soul emerged.

The handsome man’s expression was one of utter shock.

"Dao Ming."

Just like with the previous challenger.

Time Stop.

Combined with Dao Ming’s shattering of Space.

When one’s power has not yet reached the level of Perfection...

...Su Qing could be called the number one expert below that level.

The two of them left the inner space of the Taichu Dao Platform.

The World Master reappeared on the Taichu Dao Platform, a look of astonishment on his face.

"Your Time Power is very strong."

"Your other powers are very strong as well."

The World Master smiled, relieved. He looked at Su Qing with undisguised envy.

A hint of doubt crossed his face. "What you said just now... was it true?"

"About the Reversal of Heaven and Earth?"

"Whether it’s true or not, I didn’t use it, did I?" Su Qing’s lips curved into a smirk, giving nothing away.

He took his spoils of war.

This was a Source Path Cultivation Method, after all.

"If you really did learn it..."

"...feel free to use it. We of the Last Life Clan enjoy interacting with the strong. That holds true even if you have truly learned the Reversal of Heaven and Earth," the World Master explained, envying Su Qing’s aptitude.

Su Qing had been in the Taichu Daoist Palace for less than two hundred Taichu Eras.

’His progress is terrifyingly fast.’
