Nine moments passed.
On the Governor's Mansion side of Myriad Origin Star, no reinforcements arrived.
The standoff between the two underwent a dramatic shift.
Li Qingyun's own Great Power Dao Domain had already been compressed by nearly half under Shak's Witch Mark force field.
Within the Jade Pure Eternal Light, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his black hair rising through the air. He struggled bitterly to hold on, squeezing his Great Dao Universe to its absolute limit.
"By making use of this exceedingly rare opportunity for battle, I must drain every last thread of Eternal Power, allowing the true meaning of the laws upon the native path to truly and completely take over my Dao body at the end of the road, utterly suppressing eternity."
"Native as flesh and bone; eternity may only be skin and fur. Once and for all, I will resolve the flaw of my Eternal cultivation level advancing too quickly and becoming impossible to suppress..."
Making such a move to elevate the native and suppress eternity amid this battle was exceedingly perilous. One misstep in rhythm could leave him grievously wounded and crippled, or even dead with his Dao extinguished.
Yet if he did not seize this chance, it would be difficult to ever find another similar opportunity to resolve the flaw of his Eternal cultivation level's roaring advance constantly suppressing the native path.
This process was, in effect, Li Qingyun deceiving Heaven and crossing the sea.
By truly placing his own safety on the line, he was "telling" eternity that he was exhausting his final reserves to defend eternity.
Otherwise, the Eternal Law power within his body would absolutely remain in its state of suppressing the native.
This severely tilted balance had to be broken before it could be rebuilt.
Break first, then
