Background / History
A chaotic spacetime rift is an exceptionally dangerous phenomenon. Its forces can draw in cultivators and treasures alike; those trapped within may be crushed by violent time-space currents, stranded in a stable pocket dimension, or experience a disparity in which a moment inside equals billions of years outside. 95
Lei Zhan's own path began to take shape after surviving in such a chaotic time-space environment. Within three hundred years, he raised his comprehension of the Great Dao of Space to the level of the tenth form of the Red Snow Spear Technique and grasped a trace of Space origin power. By six hundred years, he had achieved the corresponding comprehension of Time and a trace of Time origin power. 98
Patriarch Bodhi later bestowed the Time and Space secret technique upon Lei Zhan. Lei Zhan chose Time and Space as the foundation of his cultivation, rather than treating it as a secondary path. 100 101
Principles
- Time and Space are compatible Origin powers and can be merged through balance rather than simple force. 145
- Other compatible combinations include yin and yang, and life and death; unrelated powers such as spear, blade, and claw cannot be forcibly fused in the same way. 145
- Progress becomes exponentially harder at higher levels: advancing from the second to third level is described as at least one hundred times harder than advancing from the first to second, while the third-to-fourth transition is harder still. 190
- The path emphasizes absorbing the mysteries of time and space into one's own Dao rather than merely accumulating external techniques. 257
Applications
Spatial Manipulation
Time and Space Power can be used to perceive, resist, and interfere with spatial phenomena.
- Lei Zhan identifies the force blocking the Underground World's exit as an application of Space Power, though its profundity initially exceeds his understanding. 198
- His fourth-level Time and Space Power can sustain a time flow accelerated up to twenty times at full exertion. 222
- The Sky-Peering Taihao Tower's divine patterns and restrictions provide a source of insight into more profound time-space applications. 222
- Lei Zhan uses Time Stasis to freeze both a battlefield and Betalaie before destroying the latter's Heart World projection. 336
Time-Flow Acceleration
Time manipulation can alter the rate at which time passes within a controlled area or treasure.
- Lei Zhan experiments with accelerating the Sky-Peering Taihao Tower from twentyfold to fiftyfold time flow while studying its formations. 222
- The tower itself normally maintains a tenfold time flow, a feat Lei Zhan considers extraordinary. 222
Defensive Layering
The Samsara Style forms a defensive structure from overlapping layers of time and space.
- Countless layers of Time and Space Power stack together like a “thousand-layer cake,” forming a light sphere containing intersecting dimensions. 256
- The layers merge and separate, creating a defense based on the cyclical nature of time and space. 256
Offensive Techniques
| Technique | Description |
|---|---|
| Star-Shattering | A Time-Space Canon form created following Lei Zhan's epiphany against the Ice Demon Lord; it destroys the Ice Demon Lord and devastates ten thousand miles of surrounding space. 203 |
| Annihilation Style | Creates a massive black hole that swallows the target; used against the Ice Demon Lord alongside Taiyin Profound Water and Solar Golden Flame. 256 |
| Reincarnation | One of the four original forms of Lei Zhan's Unity Canon and later retained as a form of the perfected Time and Space Canon. 257 273 |
| Thousand Worlds | A Unity Canon form retained in the five-form perfected canon. 257 273 |
| Instant Shadow | A fifth form added to Lei Zhan's perfected canon; it allows him to defeat the peak World God-comparable Blood Demon Lord with ease. 273 274 |
| Time-Space Annihilation | An application of Lei Zhan's Time and Space Power used to annihilate Daoist Yuqiu. 215 |
Evasion
The Time and Space Evasion Technique is a Sovereign-level technique selected by Lei Zhan from nine techniques left by Sovereign Fengnan.
- It improves Lei Zhan's speed and escape capabilities. 294
- Lei Zhan later receives its memories through his Second Primordial Spirit and intends to cultivate it using a bead. 295
Heart Power Integration
Time and Space can be combined with Heart Power to develop more advanced secret arts.
- Lei Zhan's fifth-level Heart Power and time-space skill allow him to develop the Samsara Style while facing the Ice Demon Lord. 256
- In an alien universe's source land, he begins creating the Origin Heart Canon amid heart-power and time-space currents. 386
- Its first move is Time and Space Heart. 386
