Chapter 391: Out to Battle at the God Tower

After the nine formidable individuals unleashed their respective techniques, Meng Chuan formed a rough assessment of them.

Combining observations from their unleashed auras, displayed techniques, and whether they stayed distant or charged forward, he concluded that only three of the nine were physically weaker: the winged woman, the tall, slender old man with dark skin and tentacles, and the human elder. Facing nine opponents, and relying on his speed and movement techniques, he had the best chance of eliminating these three.

Streaks of dazzling saber light cleaved towards the winged woman.

Under the divine power 'Quicksand', Meng Chuan could now unleash ten saber strikes in the time it would normally take him to deliver just one. The winged woman was overwhelmed by dazzling saber light.

Although she instantly folded her wings and a colorful light appeared on her body's surface, her protective colorful light still disintegrated under ten consecutive saber strikes, leaving wounds on her wings and a look of panic on her face. What followed was a dazzling lightning strike at extremely close range.

The divine power 'Heaven's Wrath'!

With her protective colorful light shattered and her heavily wounded wings unable to provide perfect defense, the lightning struck. She fully bore the impact; her body was paralyzed, and colorful blood flowed from her mouth and nose.

At that moment, another saber strike split the paralyzed and gravely wounded winged woman in two. Her body suddenly burst, transforming into a multitude of feathers attempting to scatter.

Streaks of saber light swept through, striking every single feather, leaving none to escape.

All the feathers were annihilated.

The winged woman was dead.

Though described slowly, the execution of the divine power 'Heaven's Wrath' and over a dozen saber strikes occurred in a mere blink of an eye.

"One down," Meng Chuan thought, filled with joy. Due to his cultivation of the 'Primordial Spirit Star' technique and his fifth-level Primordial Spirit, his thinking speed was on par with a Creation Realm expert.

Under the divine power 'Quicksand', his thoughts became ten times faster.

Rapid thought enabled rapid movement.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan executed his movement technique, tracing an elusive path as he charged towards the tall, slender old man with dark skin and tentacles. Even the Thirteen Sword Fiends, experts at the Creation Realm level, found it difficult to fully track Meng Chuan; only one or two strikes would connect each time.

"A Peerless Godfiend," the human elder observed. "He's facing nine and has already eliminated a Creation Realm foreign race expert. That was a true Saint of the Winged race."

"My master once said," the human elder mused, "'Strength ultimately determines destiny. In the River of Spacetime, regardless of its origin, power, when great, commands respect from all.' He's only fifty-nine, a young Peerless Godfiend, yet truly formidable. He's incredibly strong physically, enduring multiple Sword Fiend attacks without issue. Such a physique must require an extremely high threshold to cultivate."

The River of Spacetime inherently imposes unseen constraints. The more powerful the cultivation system, the higher the entry barrier. The more formidable the heritage, the more difficult the cultivation. To possess great strength, one must overcome numerous arduous obstacles.

"Is he cultivating the Desolate Lineage? The Starry Sky Lineage? Or the Battle Body Lineage?" the human elder secretly wondered. Having followed Ancestor Cang Yuan for a long time, he was familiar with some of the renowned physical cultivation systems in the River of Spacetime.

"And he cultivates two types of saber techniques."

"One is incredibly powerful and fast; ten consecutive strikes were enough to overwhelm the Winged Saint."

"The other is unpredictable, and combined with his speed, becomes even harder to resist, though slightly less powerful. His movement technique is also exceptionally elusive, capable of delving deep into the void."

The human elder looked at Meng Chuan. "And he's likely only at the perfected Dharma Domain Realm, yet he possesses a divine power related to time."

What are divine powers?

They are talents!

They indicate a talent inherent in one's physical body and Primordial Spirit. When one's strength is weaker, this talent manifests as a divine power. As one grows stronger, achieving the Creation Realm or becoming an Emperor, they begin to comprehend their own divine powers, gaining deeper mastery over such forces.

"He can delve into deeper layers of the void, clearly possessing a spatial talent," the human elder mused. "And he has a temporal talent. To have mastered both these powers so early, his potential is indeed astonishing."

The combination of space and time.

That is spacetime.
