Chapter 716: Shattered Star Condensed Light
Deep within the core region of Shattered Star Valley.
Li Yuan hovered in the void crisscrossed by rifts, his perception spread across twelve hundred zhang.
The spatial fluctuations here were far more chaotic than at the outskirts. Rifts tore open and closed like living creatures, fragments tumbled through turbulent currents, and the stress on the walls shifted every few breaths.
After the Spatial Investigation Technique reached Major Accomplishment, its passive detection range had expanded from eight hundred zhang to twelve hundred. Its precision and response had also been honed within Shattered Star Valley. But what it lacked before Perfection was not range.
Major Accomplishment could only clearly see what was right before him. Where the rifts lay, where fragments drifted, and what state the wall stress was in—all of it could be sensed.
Perfection was about seeing the step that came after.
Before wall stress reached a turning point, there would be an exceedingly subtle change. The stress level had yet to reach its critical threshold, and its direction had not shifted, yet the rate of change had already begun accelerating first. If he could seize that omen, Li Yuan could evade before a rift expanded.
Li Yuan stopped his evasion light and pressed his mind into his perception.
Within twelve hundred zhang, the wall stress of dozens of rifts surged into his sea of consciousness at once. Myriad Image Retrospection automatically recorded the changing curves of every rift, extracting fluctuations in their rates.
One day.
Li Yuan hovered in the middle section of the core region, his twelve-hundred-zhang perception fully spread.
Seven hundred zhang to the south, the wall stress of a wide rift was rising. Li Yuan did not deliberately focus on it. His perception still blanketed the surroundings, yet he caught
