Chapter 529: Chapter 428: Examination

"I, ’Shiguang’... shall now demonstrate a spear technique!"

A cold and ruthless man in black stood proudly in the void, a long spear appearing in his hand.

His spear technique was both swift and perilous!

One inch shorter, one inch more dangerous!

Shiguang’s spear was very long, yet his execution made it exceedingly perilous.

In fact, within one strike of his spear, it contained different powers of the Time Dao Principle; there was both acceleration and deceleration of time aimed at the enemy... various secret techniques cooperated, making his spear strike faintly carry a sense of ’time disorder’.

"This strike is called ’Inch of Time’... If you can become a beginner within ten years, you can continue to comprehend the secret book, otherwise, I suggest you give up directly..."

...

"Ugh..."

After comprehending for the first time, Fang Xing rubbed his forehead: "This Shiguang... is very strong! Extremely strong! His understanding of the Time Dao Principle even seems to surpass Master Qing Hua... the subsequent few spear techniques can even stagnate time, even if it’s just the time of a single area... that’s still incredible."

Thinking of this, he immediately began to review the information on Shiguang.

As a result, he found that ordinary members and even official members had no access.

But he was a core member, so he found it.

’Shiguang, a member of Boundaryless Mountain, Human Clan cultivator... cultivated Time Dao Principle, Ninth Layer of Primordial Spirit Realm rivaling Heavenly Immortal, known as Primordial Spirit Dominator... Unfortunately, he failed to fully comprehend the Time Dao Principle, and as his millennium lifespan came to an end, he quietly passed away...’

’According to later evaluations, his talent was astonishing, and if he had pursued other Dao Principles, he would have certainly achieved Heavenly Immortal...’

’It’s a pity, time both made him and defeated him.’

’Time, as a supreme Dao Principle, wasn’t fully comprehended, yet allowed him to rival Heavenly Immortal in the Primordial Spirit Realm... the last step has baffled countless geniuses and heroes.’

"Is the Time Dao Principle really that difficult?"

Fang Xing sighed softly, these supreme Dao Principles evidently made it harder to achieve Heavenly Immortal.

But for him, as long as he could become a beginner, the more difficult the better!

After all, he had his attribute panel to grind!

The harder it was, the more beneficial it would be after achieving it in the future!

"Now, with ’Qing Hua Volumes’ and ’Inch of Time’... I can naturally wholeheartedly comprehend the Time Dao Principle, and I can also focus on the Void Dao Principle with the remaining time..."

"After comprehending the Third Layer of the Time Dao Principle and understanding the Time Heart, I can start breaking through to the Primordial Spirit and refining the Candle Dragon Primordial Spirit... Although the Candle Dragon Primordial Spirit is difficult, with a trace of Candle Dragon Essence Blood, it’s relatively easier for me..."

Fang Xing did not take on tasks or socialize; he wholeheartedly began to comprehend the Time Dao Principle.

"Hmm? Turns out using ’Time Acceleration’ on oneself also has many tricks... and terrible aftereffects."

"Accelerating one’s own time will surely speed up aging... Even a Primordial Spirit Realm master, once their own time is accelerated by ten thousand times, will die of old age within a year!"

Ten millennia!

This is the limit of the Primordial Spirit Realm, restricted by the laws of the heavens and earth!

Regardless of whether human or demon, as long as the realm is still Primordial Spirit Realm, they can live no more than ten thousand years!

This lifespan difference is completely different from that of the Mortal Realm.

"Therefore... in Shiguang’s spear techniques, there is a move called ’Time Acceleration’, actively accelerating the time around the enemy by billions of times, causing them to die of old age instantly... more terrifying than Spring and Autumn Blade Life."

"Such a move is unbeatable below the Heavenly Immortal Realm, a certain death upon encounter... but it has high requirements for the Time Dao Principle."

"In addition, ’Inch of Time’ also contains several other time secret techniques that are quite good... among them, there’s a ’Returning Secret Technique’, which allows you to borrow mana from yourself at a future time... After the time limit, your mana will mysteriously disappear for a period of time... I call it the mana lending technique... It is said that at a profound level, even wounds and states can be ’lent’..."

...

As Fang Xing immersed himself in cultivation, time passed by.

Several years later.

In the Void Illusion Realm, a subtle wave suddenly woke up Fang Xing: "Hmm? What’s this..."

He looked and found himself receiving a notification to prepare for the core member assessment.

"So, the ten-year grand competition is upon us?"

"This is quite important, after all, the last three will be eliminated..."

Fang Xing yawned and put away ’Inch of Time’.

At this moment, he was still in the form of a young man in black clothing, but then he turned into a black and red dragon several meters long.

"The core member assessment, aside from not being allowed to use treasures, accounts for all of one’s own strength... Of course, I’ll use my own template, otherwise, it would be asking for a beating."

He flew forward, and the world changed dramatically.

In the void, a vast platform, endless in all directions, spread over hundreds of miles.

Above the platform, there were pairs of eyes, each incredibly large, like the eyes of the heavens.

Fang Xing blended into a group of core members of the Demon Race, looking at the Human Clan cultivators across from them.

Huo Lingzi was also among them.

"Ninety-seven... At such an assessment competition, no core member would miss it, so the core members of Boundaryless Mountain have not yet reached a hundred?"

Fang Xing thought to himself.

"Are you... Black Dragon, Daoist?"

Beside him, a white-furred ape scratched its cheek and asked.

"Indeed..."

Fang Xing felt the gazes of other Demon Race members but didn’t say much.

He had spent the past few years in closed door cultivation, without socializing, and had no sense of exclusion or anything.

As for public humiliation?

They were all shrewd; no one would do something so degrading, especially in an occasion where Heavenly Demons and Heavenly Immortals were watching. Making such a pose would only show oneself to be narrow-minded and unworthy of great responsibility.

Even Huo Lingzi, at this moment, greeted him with a smile: "Black Dragon, Daoist, after several years of hard cultivation, you must have made a great progress..."

Fang Xing instinctively glanced at the attribute panel:

[Space Law: 3497/20000 (Master)]

[Time Law: 5623/10000 (Skilled)]

...

"Indeed." He nodded, acknowledging that he seemed quite strong.

"Haha, I hope to meet you once again this time, to learn your superior techniques."

Huo Lingzi seemed even angrier, but his face remained friendly.

"You, this Stone Lizard... though not very strong, you have a knack for pissing people off. Huo Lingzi is well-known among the Human Clan, yet you managed to anger him so much..."

The white ape beside him laughed heartily: "My name is Wu Qi... we both serve under Great Saint Huntian, we should get to know each other better."

"So, it’s Brother Wu..."

Fang Xing engaged in casual conversation, then asked the question he was most concerned about: "Among our core members, who should we be most cautious of?"

"The number one core member is naturally Qiong Bai... It has imperial blood, and is considered a ’Prince’ among the Demon Race. If we encounter it, we should directly surrender..."

Wu Qi pointed to a young man in white robes, who had scales on his face and a sharp appearance.

Fang Xing looked for a long time but couldn’t figure out what kind of demon clan breed he was.

"Others include the Human Clan cultivator ’Yun Futu’, and the Flood Dragon ’Ao Xin’, both very powerful... As for the rest, you won’t know until you fight them."

Wu Qi spoke confidently, filled with a sense of dominance.

After all, he was a genius of the demon clan, prince-level.

"Brother Wu is quite imposing."

Fang Xing nodded.

Rumble!

At this moment, the platform stretching hundreds of miles suddenly split, turning into numerous smaller platforms.

The battle schedule of the Void Illusion Realm was simultaneously delivered to each core member.

Everyone was busy, and the Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons above were even busier, so all battles happened simultaneously.

No need to worry about rankings, the Realm Spirit of the Void Illusion Realm was the most fair and just, matching each core member with the most suitable opponent.

On a cloud platform.

Fang Xing saw his opponent, a snake demon with a human upper body and snake tail.

"My name is Qing Wu... are you the Black Dragon?"

A hint of joy flashed across Qing Wu’s face: "To encounter you as an opponent, is... great!"

Fang Xing rolled his eyes secretly, knowing that core members have an elimination system.

Encountering a weak opponent and easily winning was naturally a good thing.

"But... I’m not a weakling."

He roared lowly, his body instantly pounced out, each scale seemed to blend into the void, his movement technique possessing a unique beauty.

A black and red dragon over twenty meters long appeared, swimming in the void, suddenly striking with a claw!

Chichi!

Silvery white lines of the void law appeared, shattering the void.

"Void Dao Principle Third Layer?!"

Qing Wu’s expression became serious, swinging his double knives.

His weapon was a pair of scimitars, identical in style to his Primordial Spirit Treasure, yet far less powerful, only having the ordinary level of Mortal Realm Ninth Layer.

In the void, strands of dark green moonlight emerged, stretching into a continuous patch.

Strands of the wind principle lines appeared, intertwining into a moon python.

Chichi!

The moon python, constructed entirely of Dao Principle threads, was vivid and lively, its body flexible to an unimaginable extent, opening its bloody mouth, seemingly about to swallow Fang Xing whole.

Whoosh!

Fang Xing used a Breaking Void Flash to evade the giant python, and his claw exuding faint silvery white lines instantly broke some limit, flinging away the two scimitars and landing on Qing Wu’s forehead.

Pfft!

Qing Wu’s head exploded, his headless body fell, and then quickly dissipated.

"What... how is it possible? The Third Layer of the Void Dao Principle defeating the Fourth Layer of the Wind Principle?"

White Ape Wu Qi had just defeated his opponent and saw this scene, he was a little startled.

"Time Dao Principle, ’Inch of Time’? It looks like a claw technique, but it’s actually a spear technique?"

Yun Futu, dressed in white robes, had already defeated his opponent. Seeing this scene, he smiled slightly: "It seems this Black Dragon was hiding its strength before, otherwise, Huo Lingzi wouldn’t have easily defeated it..."

"Hmph, this counts as a dragon?"

A white jade-like flood dragon spoke, with a female voice, it was Ao Xin.

She looked at Fang Xing’s black dragon form with a hint of inexplicable emotion.

Despite looking like a mutated stone lizard, it gave her a feeling of unease just now.

’Was it an illusion?’

’Too bad... this is just an avatar created by the Void Illusion Realm... If I met it in the Qing Yuan Great Realm, I should be able to sense it more clearly...’

Ao Xin glanced at the black and red dragon, committing its appearance to memory.
