Emperor's Peak
After Xiao Yun returned, he began to examine his Epiphany System. Initially, he had 23 remaining epiphany opportunities. However, after defeating two geniuses from the Tai Chu Sacred Ground and putting on a show, he gained 3 more epiphany opportunities. Therefore, he now had a total of 26 epiphany opportunities.
"Next, I should push the other three super combat techniques to the ultimate combat technique realm," Xiao Yun thought to himself.
With so many epiphany opportunities, he had enough for the time being. He decided to push the remaining three super combat techniques, "Nine Revolution Tyrant Fist," "Divine Wind Steps," and "Myriad Blades Return to the Sea," to the ultimate combat technique realm.
By doing so, he would increase his strength by another 200,000 jin, reaching a total of 700,000 jin of strength. This was currently his limit.
To break through further, he would have to wait until he ventured into the True Dragon Nest.
"Disciple..."
Just as Xiao Yun was preparing to deduce the combat techniques, Emperor Tian arrived.
Xiao Yun quickly stood up and greeted Emperor Tian as he entered.
Once the two were seated, Emperor Tian looked at Xiao Yun and asked with a smile, "How was it? What are your thoughts on encountering the geniuses from the Tai Chu Sacred Ground this time?"
Xiao Yun pondered for a moment and said, "The geniuses from the Tai Chu Sacred Ground are indeed stronger than us. Even the ninth and tenth ranked geniuses in the physical refining realm alone can sweep our Chaos Holy Ground disciples in the same realm. Only I was able to defeat them. Chu Jingxiao and Junior Sister are not their match."
"That's normal. I heard that they also had a Lightning Body with them this time. Although it's only a King Body, it's much stronger than an ordinary physique," Emperor Tian sighed.
Xiao Yun smiled faintly and said, "Master, no matter how strong they are, they are just defeated under my command."
Emperor Tian looked at Xiao Yun with a gratified expression, but then he remembered something and his expression turned serious. "I heard the Saint Lord say that a Temporal Body has appeared among the Tai Chu Sacred Ground's generation. This is an ultimate body. You must be careful of this person when you enter the True Dragon Nest."
Xiao Yun patted his chest and said confidently, "Master, don't you have confidence in your disciple? In no time, I will have 700,000 jin of strength. Even if he is a Temporal Body, I am confident in defeating him."
Emperor Tian shook his head and said, "You underestimate the abilities of a Temporal Body. The Temporal Body not only represents their powerful talent but also the special abilities that come with it. Just like the Lightning Body this time, you should have experienced the power of 'lightning' firsthand, right?"
Xiao Yun's expression turned slightly serious upon hearing this and he said in a deep voice, "Indeed, that Lightning Body of Jie Yulong was indeed formidable. Every move and technique he used had the additional attack of lightning, and his speed was incredibly fast. If he didn't have only 300,000 jin of strength while I had 500,000 jin, it would not have been so easy for me to defeat him."
Emperor Tian nodded and then his expression became extremely serious. He said in a deep voice, "That's right, Jie Yulong was just a Lightning Body. A Temporal Body is much stronger than a Lightning Body. As far as I know, someone who possesses a Temporal Body is born with the power to control time and space."
"What kind of power is time and space? I believe you also know that in front of him, the speed of the Lightning Body is a joke. His speed is much faster than yours. At the same time, he can manipulate time and slow down your speed."
Emperor Tian looked at Xiao Yun with a solemn expression.
Xiao Yun was taken aback and then wore a stunned expression. He said in disbelief, "Even if he possesses the body of time and space, he is only in the realm of body refining. It's impossible for him to have the power to control time and space, right?"
Time and space were powerful forces of the laws, only accessible to saints. Xiao Yun didn't believe that a cultivator in the realm of body refining could master these two powers.
"Hehe, it seems you still don't understand the Supreme Body!" Emperor Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly in response to Xiao Yun's words. "The reason the Supreme Body is called the Supreme Body is because this special physique is terrifying. Those who possess it are naturally capable of controlling some formidable abilities."
"Of course, the current spatial and temporal body from the Tai Chu Holy Land definitely cannot wield strong powers of time and space. But even if he can only control a small amount of time and space, it's enough for him to sweep through all enemies in the realm of body refining."
Xiao Yun fell silent for a moment. The power of time and space was simply insurmountable. As the saying goes, space is king, and time is revered. Moreover, the spatial and temporal body combined both of these powers, making it invincible.
"Master, what should I do then? Is there any way for me to resist his power of time and space?" After a while, Xiao Yun raised his head and asked Emperor Tian with a serious expression, believing that since Emperor Tian came, he must have more than just intimidating him and would teach him how to counter the Supreme Body.
Sure enough, Emperor Tian smiled and said, "It's difficult to resist the spatial and temporal body, but he is still just in the realm of body refining. The power he can control over time and space is definitely not strong, which gives us a chance to contend against him."
"Oh? Please enlighten me, Master!" Xiao Yun's eyes lit up immediately.
Emperor Tian smiled and continued, "Time has three basic abilities: time acceleration, time deceleration, and time stop. However, based on my speculation, he can barely master time acceleration for himself at the moment."
"But even so, combined with his talent in spatial manipulation, it's enough to give him terrifying speed. So, if you want to contend with him, you need to first limit his speed."
Xiao Yun nodded, thinking that Emperor Tian's words made sense. But he was puzzled and asked, "Limit his speed? But Master, I have already cultivated the 'Divine Wind Steps.' Even if I push it to the ultimate technique realm, my speed would probably be on par with that Lightning Body. It would still be far inferior to the spatial and temporal body, right?"
"Not just a little inferior, but far too distant!" Emperor Tian shook his head and said, "In the same realm, the speed of the spatial and temporal body is a hundred times faster than the speed of the Lightning Body."
"What?!" Xiao Yun widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief. "Such a huge gap?"
How could he even fight then?
Xiao Yun had already witnessed the speed of the Lightning Body through Xie Yulong. It was a hundred times faster than that, which means he wouldn't even be able to see his opponent's shadow. It would be like teleportation. How could he fight under such circumstances?
Perhaps he wouldn't even have the chance to fight back and could only passively defend himself.
"Why do you think it's called the Supreme Body?" Emperor Tian sighed. "Whether it's time acceleration or spatial shrinking, they are both powers that enhance speed. When these two powers are combined, the spatial and temporal body naturally possesses unparalleled speed. In the same realm, hardly anyone can contend with them."
Xiao Yun was speechless. "Then how can I fight him? How can I limit him?"
Emperor Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, my disciple. Since I said there's a way, there must be a way. Actually, there are many ways to limit his speed. The first is long-range attacks. Enhance your long-range attack power so that you can attack him before he gets close to you, preventing him from approaching."
"The second is to enhance your defense. Once your defense is strengthened, you can temporarily withstand his attacks, giving you time to create distance and use long-range attacks against him."
"The third is formation arrays. Use spirit stones to set up attack arrays, defense arrays, or trapping arrays, which can effectively limit the speed of the spatial and temporal body. But formations have a drawback: they need to be set up in advance, so remember that."
"The fourth is sound wave attacks! It combines sound and power to intimidate and impact the enemy, causing their minds to tremble and their strength to greatly decrease. Naturally, their speed will also be weakened."
...
After Emperor Tian finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yun, who was dumbfounded, and smiled, "As long as you can master all these techniques, you will be able to resist the spatial and temporal body."
Xiao Yun forced a bitter smile and said, "There are so many of them. Master, can you just tell me directly what to do?"
Emperor Tian laughed heartily and then waved his hand, throwing several books to Xiao Yun. He said, "I have already prepared these for you. They are three supreme combat techniques and three formation arrays. As long as you have the ability to learn all of them, you will be able to contend against the spatial and temporal body."
Xiao Yun immediately looked at the six books in front of him.
