Chapter 280: Cutting Off the Past, Severing the Future, The One Blow that Entombed Sky (Part 2)
Through the starry vast sky, the aura of destruction swept a trillion miles away until it finally returned to its peaceful state.
The two stood opposite each other again.
“Brother! You are ruthless enough to even detonate a Quasi-Sage Dao Vessel!” Jun Sanqian’s look was in discomposure.
The torrent of destruction erupted from such a level of Dao Vessel almost killed him even when he was of such a level of power. Even though he managed to block off the attack, his physical body was torn apart and almost completely destroyed.
His aura had also declined extremely.
“You’re really in great discomposure! However, that was the self-destruction of a top-grade Quasi-Sage Dao Vessel and still it couldn’t kill you!” Jiang Ming smiled, “Old Brother! I sensed that it was your real body just now. Just how did you dodge my fatal blow? ”
“I have a technique that allows me to travel through the false void!” Jun Sanqian explained, “However, this technique has a drawback. It has to be prepared in advance and can only last for a short period of time. When faced with a fatal blow, it allows me to teleport away. It’s a technique that can save a life, hence it’s considered quite an okay technique.”
“There is such a mysterious special ability?” Jiang Ming was surprised.
“Of course!” Jun Sanqian said, his debilitating aura began to climb rapidly, and even grew further after reaching the peak. His whole body was also ignited with wisps of golden flames.
“From here on out, I’ll be going at you with the aim of taking you down with me!” Jun Sanqian’s tone became much higher, “Brother! Bring it on!”
As his voice fell, a sword splash split through the sky as the endless edge seemed to have divided the universe into two.
The Jun Sanqian at that state was terrifyingly powerful.
Even the original Northern Emperor Kunpeng, the Black-Hearted Old Demon was far from being compared with him.
“Then fight!”
Jiang Ming’s fighting intent soared into the sky and with a flick of his body, his figure had grown up to 1,000-feet tall. His aura rose majestically to the extreme and the blood qi even seemingly started to materialize. His physical energy was even more tyrannical.
A long river of history had appeared underfoot again, but was wider and vaster than before. The Past Body, the Present Body, and the Future Body appeared together at the same time.
This time, he condensed all three of his lifetimes into reality. The Past Body gathered the power of civilization, the power of experience, the power of growth, the power of accumulation, and the power of various pasts, forming the precipitation of history.
The Present Body suppressed the present, indifferent to others but himself, did not talk about the past nor respect the future. It was firmly existing in the present as though it was inexhaustible and forever invincible.
The Future Body seemed to be extremely hazy, seemingly real and illusory, elusive, incomprehensible, and seemingly non-existent as though it was a phantom. On his body however, there were thousands of traces on him, each of which was a future, a possibility. This was the Future Body. A future that was unpredictable and incomprehensible.
Each different thought and each different action led to a different future. These billions of futures were condensed together and turned into the end of the long river of history. When condensed together, it was the Future Body, the destination, and the end. The future body was representing all kinds of possibilities in the future.
The past, present, and future had all come together in reality.
“Striking through the past, and cutting off all traces of the past!”
His Past Body evoked a mysterious technique, which led him directly into the darkness to cut off the past of Jun Sanqian, breaking his foundation and causing him to lose his past.
This caused Jun Sanqian to become unstable in a glimpse of an eye.
“Entombing Sky Illusory Palm! Sever the future!”
As the palm attack from the Future Body was evoked, it erased all kinds of changes, and the infinite possibilities in the future, Jun Sanqian could only exist in the present, no longer had any flexibility.
Such an attack was amounting to the ultimate lock-on. One cut the past, while the other severed the future. This made him feel rather flustered and even fear because he could neither look back into the past nor the future.
“Three Thousand Cataclysm Fingers, destroy the body, the soul and the mind!” Jiang Ming’s Present Body evoked the strongest technique.
Boom…
“Ten Thousand Swords Entombing Realm!”
However, the Jun Sanqian at that time had already erupted his own powers to the extreme, pushing himself into desperation. Even with his past cut off and his future severed, causing his aura to decline by half in just an instant, he was still terrifying.
Between the slashes of the sword lights, Jun Sanqian collided with the Present Body.
As a result, Jun Sanqian flew back from the exchange, while the Present Body directly exploded.
“Kill!”
The Past Body and the Future Body pursued onward, destroying Jun Sanqian.
…
On the level 3 of the Battle Tower.
“What a Future Body!” Jun Sanqian looked at Jiang Ming and lamented, “By condensing all kinds of futures together, it leaves only one possibility: the great self-confidence and power. You even realized the technique of destiny, cutting off the past, severing the future, rendering your opponent to float aimlessly like duckweeds. They would feel as though they should not exist in the world while their subconscious falls into a confused state, losing themselves, and even losing their very foundation. If their cultivation base is poor, they would even disappear in an instant.”
“There are still many flaws to it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be almost broken through in level 2!” Jiang Ming said.
“You brat!” Jun Sanqian was speechless, “You are a Golden Immortal, while I am a Quasi-Sage. The past, the present, and the future. All three were deduced well but are far from perfect. Its flaws are also too obvious! As your three lifetimes, and three clones launch their attacks, however tacit their cooperation and understanding they have between them, they are still three separate entities after all. Once the three bodies merge into one and one strike from it contains the accumulation of the powers from the past, present and future, then can the technique be considered to have reached its Mastery Stage!”
“You are right, old brother!” Jiang Ming couldn’t help nodding, “This is the direction that I’m aiming for. It’s just that such a feat is extremely difficult. I have tried 36 million times, but to no avail!”
“Having no success when your direction is correct implies that you haven’t comprehended the true essence!” Jun Sanqian pointed out.
“Is the direction really correct?” Jiang Ming’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Of course!”
“Thank you, old brother!”
“Haha! Make your move, brother!”
“Alright!”
The two went down into a great battle again.
This time however, Jiang Ming failed miserably and was killed.
