Chapter 181: Spatial Resonance
Du Qianjue's pupils suddenly constricted. While he could detect Di Tian using spatial powers, he could not sense the fluctuations when Di Tian used them. This was an absolute difference in strength; Di Tian's mastery of space was beyond his comparison.
Instinctively, Du Qianjue's right hand gathered the power of the elements, and he punched behind him. At the same time, Di Tian's figure appeared exactly behind him, his black dragon claw reaching out towards him.
Xuanhuan Law: When an enemy disappears, they're likely to appear behind you!
"Ha ha, guessed right!" Du Qianjue grinned, not giving any quarter, quickly retracting his right fist and throwing a left punch.
But Di Tian didn't give Du Qianjue the chance. Before his left fist could reach him, Di Tian disappeared with the power of space, making Du Qianjue's punch hit nothing but air.
"Your control of spatial power needs more work—practice more!" Di Tian's voice came from all around.
Crap! Di Tian, are you trying to say you're cheating? Du Qianjue's face darkened, and suddenly, a familiar pair of pincers flashed through his mind.
But this is the God Beast Di Tian. Times have changed! The past is the past, and now is now, don't always use the past as the present!
I really can't match you in spatial power, but I still have ways to break your use of it!
A dazzling light rose behind Du Qianjue, a brilliant white sun accompanied by a colorful moon appeared behind him, showing the external manifestation of his two soul cores.
The colorful moon instantly changed to a pristine silver, competing with the bright sun for radiance.
Invisible spatial waves spread out from Du Qianjue's body in all directions, forcing Di Tian, who had slipped into space, to be pushed out.
"What is this method?" Di Tian looked down at his hand and frowned.
After the invisible waves dispersed, Di Tian found that unstable spatial storms had arisen within the void, forcing even him to retreat from the void.
Unstable space is too dangerous; this is just a spar, no need to go overboard.
"Real space is stable, but the void is not! Since the two spaces can connect, it's possible to disrupt the void through real space!" Du Qianjue explained with a smile.
"You could use this method too, just project your soul cores outside your body, use the power of the yin-yang complementary soul cores to resonate with space, and you can use real space to disrupt the void."
"This method might not last long, but it can temporarily create a zone where spatial powers can't be used."
"Isn't the frequency for resonance hard to find? Otherwise, how could I not know of such a method?" Di Tian looked thoughtfully at the sun and moon behind Du Qianjue.
His own backdrop mirrored Du Qianjue's, but with a black sun and deep purple moon.
"Operate the soul core, vibrate the space, then find the frequency that can shake the real space, and along that frequency, enhance the speed of the soul core's operation!" Du Qianjue saw Di Tian attempting and offered guidance.
Di Tian nodded, closed his eyes, and the deep purple moon behind him began to slowly rotate.
What seemed like slow rotation was incredibly fast in reality, and when the rotation reached its peak, the moving object might even appear to be still.
That rotating moon was merely an afterimage of the soul core in operation.
Ding— A sound crisp like crystal shattering rang out, identical to the wave Du Qianjue had released, now emanated from Di Tian as well.
Di Tian sustained it longer than Du Qianjue, lasting a full five breaths, and the area he disturbed spanned nearly a thousand meters!
"A very fine method!" Di Tian retracted his soul core, smiling in admiration. Had he known this trick earlier, he wouldn't have been seriously wounded by the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord's space-time light. This method could almost perfectly counter the Evil Emperor's space-time light.
"How did you think of this ability?" He couldn't help but ask, a bit incredulous. Di Tian had played with space all his life, but he hadn't come up with as many tricks as a human youth less than fifteen?
"I just thought of it myself," Du Qianjue casually replied, not mentioning that his extensive reading of fantasy novels had inspired him to try various abilities from other stories.
Seeing that Du Qianjue wasn't elaborating, Di Tian didn't press further, but instead changed the subject: "Shall we continue fighting?"
"Let's not fight anymore. Thanks for the pointers, Beast God. I've gained a lot!" Du Qianjue bowed to Di Tian, his tone grateful.
In terms of strength, Di Tian could have beaten him easily, and managing to fight on equal terms with Di Tian was a huge concession on his part.
Every collision, Di Tian deliberately controlled his speed and power to match Du Qianjue's level, clearly feeding him moves. Although it was also a beating for Du Qianjue, most of the injuries he sustained were due to his own excessive force.
So Du Qianjue's thanks to Di Tian was indeed fitting. After all, who else gets a continent's top powerhouse as a sparring partner?
"No need for thanks. Just remember the promise you made once you ascend," Di Tian said casually, his hands behind his back, his tone indifferent.
"I always mean what I say, especially when I've promised benefits to others," Du Qianjue solemnly replied.
Star Dou had been generous to him, and though Du Qianjue didn't consider himself a good person, he understood debts of gratitude and revenge.
"Let's head down then," Di Tian nodded and stepped forward, disappearing from the high sky first.
Du Qianjue took a deep breath, his aura gradually fading. Though his body felt weak, his spirit was exhilarated by the battle.
In the future, he'd need to make more time to spar with Di Tian!
Du Qianjue chuckled to himself and flew down towards the Lake of Life.
