Chapter 1594: Rapid Escalation

[Counter Strike]

Yan Hai’s bamboo borrowed the strength of this fist to power itself, but it also contained the strength of its own force. The two clashed, and the void — which usually manifests in this empty white space — suddenly turned dark as if the concept of light or color itself was temporarily cancelled from Heaven and Earth.

Yan Hai took a full step backward as her breath became uncontrollable. Typically, this kind of damage would require her to heal or deal with it in some way. But now, with her new, powerful body, she could focus on the thing she loves the most: attacking.

Dugu Baitian took a half step backward, and his breathing remained constant. However, a small trail of blood dropped from the corner of his mouth. Such an injury was not even considered minor for his level of body refinement. So, he followed the first attack with a barrage of attacks.

Yan Hai did not back down. The way she fought was overwhelming her opponent with unparalleled sword attacks. And her tactic was successful. After a dozen clashes, it was very apparent who had the advantage. The Sword Empress had the advantage in attack potency, so whenever both of them received a backlash from this clash, Dugu Baitian was the one who received the most damage.

However, after more than a hundred clashes, Yan Hai realized the latter’s plan. While both of them were in the Tenth Heaven of the Elder Fiendgod Realm, Dugu Baitian’s body was more perfect than hers. She has only recently entered that realm; meanwhile, her opponent had spent millions, if not billions, of Yuan Epoch refining and perfecting his flesh. Even if the improvement after reaching the Tenth Heaven is almost nonexistent, persistence will have its benefits, the most direct of which is the increase in control over the body.

’If this continues, my body will give up before his,’ Yan Hai analyzed. Most people — including Extreme Path swordsmen — would distance their opponent, but she knew Dugu Baitian. The worst decision when fighting him is to allow him to build momentum or control the rhythm of the battle.

[Outrunning Time Strike]

Yan Hai changed tactics; she used an attack that he could not react to quickly. And while this attack’s name suggested it was merely faster than time, that was far from the truth. It was an attack that pursued the pinnacle of speed: it was so fast that it was not bound by matter, energy, or the space-time continuum. It was so fast that death — the ultimate equalizer — could not determine if someone died from this sword.

Her sword was so fast that it even touched nothingness. However, Yan Hai’s skill was so refined that she did not lose her arm in the process; no, her sword speed even escaped the backlash from [Nothingness]. Such a brilliant attack is one of the many reasons she reigned supreme above the Sword Dao in the entire Chaos Universe.

[Divine Repository: Otherworldly Reflexes]

The human body is full of endless potential to tap into. They have many names: Gate, Acupoints, Aperture, Chakra, or Divine Repository. Even the dantian or Sea of Consciousness is part of those hidden potentials. The Dugu Clan’s body refining technique opened these potentials, and Dugu Baitian has pushed this technique beyond the limits that the clan thought were possible. He not only opened them and discovered new ones, but also found ways to evolve them to higher levels.

After being able to perceive the attack, Dugu Baitian opened the elemental Divine Depository of metal. He coated his fist and body with armor as he punched the sword with illogical speed. His approach was the best of both worlds: he could continue his previous tactic, and better protect himself.

The Void Battlefield felt the clash of this attack. Nothing exists in a vacuum, so Yan Hai’s sword, which escaped so many concepts, had some ramifications. The River of Time trembled, and the aftermath released enough energy to create a new space-time continuum. With space-time comes gravity, and with gravity comes matter and energy.

Death manifested its presence. After all, someone just used a technique that could kill someone without its detection. Meanwhile, Dugu Baitian’s fist brought force to the equation, which then created mass and acceleration. He also ushered the element of earth to the table. In the split moment of the class, all the powers and elements mashed together to create a new world with an imbalance of the earth element and incomplete laws of physics.

’Not backing down?’ Yan Hai thought as she breathed heavily. She ignored the creation around her, focusing on her target. ’In that case, let’s ramp things up even more.’ She linked to the fifth Grand Construct before swinging her bamboo sword.
