Chapter 534 - 532: The Star Sea Where Time Stands Still

Chapter 534: Chapter 532: The Star Sea Where Time Stands Still

After Su Qing achieved the Thirteenth Realm, there was no need to consolidate his Cultivation.

Standardization had already done that for him.

Right now, Su Qing was still in the Void Realm.

He was mastering his own power, experiencing what it had truly become.

’The Dao Tree inside my body has completely disappeared.’

’I feel like my body is no longer a human shell.’

Su Qing could feel that his body was now an entire world unto itself.

Su Qing was composed of countless tiny worlds, and he was the master of them all.

He took out a drop of his blood and discovered it contained tens of millions of worlds.

The Energy it contained could almost instantly destroy the Taichu Daoist Palace.

’The Thirteenth Realm? Truly terrifying.’

Su Qing felt more and more that he was no longer human.

Instead, he had become an advanced form of life.

’The power of Life is incredibly dense. I could even bring the dead back to life.’

’But for those who have been dead a long time... why can’t the power I command resurrect them, like the Life God in the Taichu Daoist Palace could?’

Su Qing frowned, his train of thought shifting. ’Perhaps it borrowed the power of the Star Sea.’

’By being in the Star Sea and borrowing its power, resurrecting an insignificant being from history should be a simple matter for the Star Sea itself.’

Su Qing thought of how the Spirit Realm was once able to reverse time and reproduce an Immortal Scripture that had appeared in its own river of history.

Presumably, it would also be a simple matter for the Star Sea to resurrect an ordinary being from the river of history.

’Although I don’t have the means to resurrect anyone, I’m still making progress.’

’Dao Transformation Infinite Realm.’

’I’ll cultivate for a while first and see.’

Su Qing had broken through, but he was in no hurry to leave the Void Realm.

The Micro Acupoint Worlds inside him had become enormous. Most importantly, the world within his body had expanded infinitely.

The significance of the Micro Acupoint Worlds had changed.

To Su Qing, the Micro Acupoint Worlds were not as useful as before.

But Su Qing still needed the plants and creatures within.

The things inside were Su Qing’s personal treasure trove.

’As a Tier Thirteen, I should be considered one of the strongest beings in existence.’

’With my Causal Touch, who can possibly stand against me?’

Su Qing chuckled lightly. The effect of Standardization, when applied to the Causal Touch, was simply perfect.

Now that he had familiarized himself with his new power, Su Qing felt that no further consolidation was necessary.

So, he immediately departed for the Star Sea.

He chose to appear in a part of the Star Sea far from the Taichu Daoist Palace.

However, something about his surroundings seemed unusual.

Time had been stopped.

Su Qing felt a terrifying oppressive force all over his body.

This terrifying oppressive force originated from the Star Sea.

It pressed down on Su Qing relentlessly.

’Is this the same suppressive force I felt when I was trying to break through?’

’It really is you, Star Sea.’

"Even while being devoured, you still try to suppress my breakthrough." Su Qing’s gaze grew profound as he looked toward the distant Star Sea Tree.

Now, Su Qing could completely resist the oppressive force of the Star Sea Tree.

But all around him, Time had stopped.

This was a new problem.

It seemed Su Qing... was imprisoned by the Star Sea.

Imprisoned within a single point in time.

This made it impossible for him to contact the outside world.

"Run!" Black Abyss suddenly appeared before Su Qing.

She said to him, her voice filled with worry.

"Run?"

Su Qing asked in confusion, "Who’s after me?"

He was perplexed, but confident. He didn’t believe anyone could truly stand against him.

The person beside him was indeed Black Abyss, but Su Qing truly didn’t trust her.

"All the Tier Thirteen beings in the entire Star Sea know about you."

"Why do you think Time stopped here?"

"It’s the Star Sea!"

"It will not allow a Tier Thirteen being to exist outside of Its control."

"Most importantly, you should be aware that you can control some of my powers."

"Hmm..."

"That’s right." Su Qing nodded.

Su Qing could completely control the Devouring power that was part of the Black Abyss Power’s source, because that Devouring power was not strong.

All of his current power now came from within himself.

His mastery over power had reached an inconceivable level.

It wasn’t that Black Abyss had gotten weaker, but that Su Qing had gotten stronger.

"Some beings won’t be content to be second to you."

"Some of them have been cultivating for longer than me. You should understand the task the Star Sea Tree has given to all Tier Thirteen beings: if you are not eliminated, the entire Star Sea will cease to function."

Su Qing remained silent, looking in the direction of the Star Sea Tree.

’It should have stopped Time for all Cultivators, including me.’

"And then leave us to its mercy," Su Qing murmured.

He glanced at the Star Sea Tree. "As things stand, it’s not that it doesn’t want to, but that it can’t."

"It can’t stop Time for me."

"Enough about that. Black Abyss, you and I have no relationship. We don’t even know each other."

Su Qing pinched his fingers together, beginning an Inference.

He was going to get his revenge.

Time had stopped, but the Tier Thirteen Cultivators were unaffected.

So Su Qing was going to find that being who toyed with fate and settle the score.

This debt had been owed for a long time.

Su Qing performed an Inference to find the name of the being who had toyed with him.

Then, he would infer its location.

Black Abyss watched him.

She had seen Su Qing perform Inferences like this before.

A flicker of sorrow crossed her cold, beautiful face, and her gaze drifted toward Su Qing.

’Qing... he really doesn’t remember me.’

Meanwhile, a smile appeared on Su Qing’s face.

In just an instant,

Black Abyss could no longer sense Su Qing’s location.

’No, wait!’

’He’s going after Instant Fate.’

Black Abyss realized it instantly but didn’t move. As a Tier Thirteen being, he didn’t need her help.

The crucial thing was...

...figuring out how to break the Star Sea’s Time Pause.

That was what all the Tier Thirteen beings were thinking.

As for hunting down Su Qing together?

What a joke.

Many of their Dao Paths were similar; who would trust a supposed ally on a joint hunt?

There were no allies to be had.

Only mutual slaughter.

Anyone brave enough to try would have to be prepared for a knife in the back.

Su Qing’s Tunneling Speed was extremely fast.

It took almost no time at all

before he saw a magnificent palace.

"All the threads of fate tell me that a fateless being has appeared in my domain."

"I believe we’ve met."

When Su Qing arrived, he saw a man with a rather gloomy expression. A smile played on the man’s lips, but his hands were wrapped around countless threads of fate.

The man stared at Su Qing with utmost seriousness.

"Met? I find it hard to believe you don’t recognize this face."

"If you don’t, how about I help jog your memory?"

Su Qing spoke coolly as the Profound Immortal Sword appeared in his hand.

The moment the Tier Thirteen Dao Artifact appeared, the atmosphere grew heavy and tense.

"It’s that little guy from back then?"

"So I destroyed your little world, what of it?"

"Nothing happened to you personally, so why be so petty?" Instant Fate recognized him at once.

This was a little mortal He had once toyed with.

Back then, He had noticed the mortal’s fate was unstable, so He had observed him for a while before deciding to toy with him for fun.

When the mortal’s threads of fate later vanished, Instant Fate had simply assumed such an amusing little toy had perished.

He never expected the mortal had just been hiding.

’Now this is a huge problem.’

’The other party hasn’t even lived for a thousand years; he surely places great importance on mortal concerns.’

Instant Fate stared intently at the Tier Thirteen Dao Artifact in Su Qing’s hand.

’The moment that Dao Artifact moves, I’m running.’

’I can’t believe this guy is also the one the Star Sea wants to eliminate.’

Instant Fate began to lightly strum the threads of fate in his hand,

intending to transmit a message.

Unfortunately for him,

Su Qing’s sword flashed, shattering all the threads of fate in his hand.

"No!" One of Instant Fate’s hands was severed. Without the threads of fate, he lost the majority of his power.
