How to Deal with a Space-Time Body

Imperial Peak.

After Xiao Yun returned, he began checking his Epiphany System.

He had originally had 23 chances for epiphany. This time, after defeating two geniuses from the Primordial Sacred Land and showing off once again, he gained another 3 chances.

So now, he had a total of 26 chances for epiphany remaining.

Next, it's time to deduce the other three Super Combat Techniques to the realm of Ultimate Combat Techniques as well, Xiao Yun thought to himself.

With so many chances for epiphany, he had enough for the time being. Therefore, he planned to deduce the remaining three Super Combat Techniques—Nine-Turn Tyrant Fist, Divine Wind Step, and Ten Thousand Blades Return to the Sea—to the realm of Ultimate Combat Techniques as well.

That way, his strength would increase by another two hundred thousand jin, reaching seven hundred thousand jin.

This was also the limit he could currently attain.

If he wanted to break through further, he could only wait until he entered the True Dragon Nest to venture within.

"Disciple—"

Just as Xiao Yun was preparing to deduce his combat techniques, Di Tian arrived.

Xiao Yun hurriedly rose to his feet and welcomed Di Tian inside.

After the two sat down, Di Tian looked at Xiao Yun across from him and asked with a smile, "Well? Now that you've met the geniuses of the Primordial Sacred Land, what are your thoughts?"

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment before saying, "The geniuses of the Primordial Sacred Land are indeed stronger than ours. Even those ranked ninth and tenth in the Body Refining Realm could sweep through the Body Refining Realm disciples of our Chaos Holy Land. Only I could defeat them; neither Chu Jingxiao nor Junior Sister was their match."

"That is only natural. I heard that one of them this time possesses a Lightning Body. Though it is merely a King Body, it is still far stronger than an ordinary physique," Di Tian said with a sigh.

Xiao Yun smiled faintly. "Master, no matter how strong they are, they are still defeated by your disciple."

Di Tian looked at Xiao Yun with a gratified expression. Then, as if recalling something, his face turned solemn. "I heard the Holy Lord mention that a Space-Time Body has appeared among this generation of the Primordial Sacred Land. That is a Supreme Body. Once you enter the True Dragon Nest, you must be wary of that person."

Patting his chest, Xiao Yun said confidently, "Master, do you have so little faith in your disciple? Before long, I will possess seven hundred thousand jin of strength. Even if he is a Supreme Body, I am confident I can defeat him."

Di Tian shook his head. "You underestimate the capabilities of a Supreme Body. A Supreme Body not only represents tremendous talent, but also special abilities bestowed by that physique. Take this Lightning Body, for instance. You have already tasted the might of its 'lightning,' have you not?"

Xiao Yun's expression grew slightly grave at those words. He said in a low voice, "Indeed. Xie Yulong's Lightning Body was truly formidable. Every move carried the added attack of lightning, and his speed was incredibly fast. Had he not possessed only three hundred thousand jin of strength while I had five hundred thousand jin, defeating him would not have been so easy."

Di Tian nodded. His expression then became incomparably grave as he said solemnly, "Exactly. That Xie Yulong only possesses a Lightning Body. But the Space-Time Body is far more powerful than a Lightning Body. As far as I know, those with a Space-Time Body are born wielding the powers of time and space."

"What kind of powers are time and space? I am sure you know. Before him, the speed of a Lightning Body is nothing but a joke. His speed is far greater than yours. At the same time, he can manipulate time and slow you down."

Di Tian looked at Xiao Yun, his face full of gravity.

Xiao Yun was stunned, then said in astonishment, "Even if he possesses a Space-Time Body, he is still only in the Body Refining Realm. It is impossible for him to possess the power to manipulate time and space, isn't it?"

Time and space were powerful forces of law that only Saints could touch upon. Xiao Yun did not believe that a Body Refining Realm cultivator could master those two powers.

"Heh, it seems you still do not understand Supreme Bodies!"

Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Di Tian could not help shaking his head with a bitter smile. "The reason Supreme Bodies are called Supreme Bodies is precisely because these special physiques are too terrifying. Those who possess them are born able to control certain dreadful abilities."

"Of course, that Space-Time Body from the Primordial Sacred Land cannot possibly control powerful forces of time and space yet. But even if he can control only the slightest trace of time and space, it will be enough for him to sweep aside every enemy in the Body Refining Realm."

Xiao Yun fell silent for a moment. The powers of time and space—this was simply unsolvable.

As the saying went, space was king, and time was emperor.

What was more, the Space-Time Body combined both of those powers. It was practically invincible.

"Master, then what should I do? Is there any way for me to withstand his powers of time and space?" After a long while, Xiao Yun raised his head and asked Di Tian with a solemn expression.

He believed that since Di Tian had come, he could not have come merely to frighten him. He would surely teach him a way to contend against a Supreme Body.

Sure enough, Di Tian smiled and said, "It is difficult to oppose a Space-Time Body, but he is ultimately only in the Body Refining Realm. The powers of time and space he can control must be weak, and that gives us a chance to contend with him."

"Oh? Please instruct me, Master!" Xiao Yun's eyes immediately lit up.

Di Tian smiled. "Time has three most fundamental abilities: Time Acceleration, Time Deceleration, and time stop. However, by my estimation, he has only barely mastered Time Acceleration, and can only accelerate himself."

"But even so, combined with his talent in space, it is enough to grant him the most terrifying speed. Therefore, if you wish to contend with him, you must first restrict his speed."

Xiao Yun nodded, feeling that Di Tian's words made sense. Yet he asked doubtfully, "Restrict his speed? But Master, I have already mastered Divine Wind Step. Even if I deduce Divine Wind Step to the realm of Ultimate Combat Techniques, my speed will likely only be comparable to that Lightning Body's. It would still fall far short of the Space-Time Body's, would it not?"

"Not merely fall short—it would be nowhere close!" Di Tian shook his head. "At the same realm, a Space-Time Body is a hundred times faster than a Lightning Body."

"Hiss!" Xiao Yun's eyes widened at those words, his face full of disbelief. "The gap is actually that enormous?"

How was he supposed to fight that?

Xiao Yun had already witnessed the speed of Xie Yulong's Lightning Body. A hundred times faster than that—would he not be unable to see even a shadow? It would be like teleportation. How could he fight that?

By then, he would probably not even have the strength to strike back. He could only defend passively.

"Otherwise, why would it be called a Supreme Body?" Di Tian sighed. "Whether it is the acceleration of time or space's Inch-by-Inch Earth, both are powers that can increase speed. With the two stacked together, the Space-Time Body naturally possesses peerless speed. Within the same realm, almost no one can contend against him."

Xiao Yun said speechlessly, "Then how am I supposed to fight him? How can I restrict him?"

Di Tian smiled faintly. "Disciple, do not panic. Since I said there is a way, then there is naturally a way. There are actually many methods to restrict his speed. The first is long-range attacks. Strengthen your long-range attack power. Before he can approach you, attack him first and prevent him from getting close."

"The second is to increase your defense. As long as your defense is strong enough, you can temporarily block his attacks. Then you will have time to pull away from him and deal with him using long-range attacks."

"The third is formations. Use spirit stones to set up formations. Whether offensive formations, defensive formations, or trapping formations, all can effectively restrict the Space-Time Body's speed. But formations have one flaw: they need to be arranged in advance. You must remember that."

"The fourth is sonic attacks! This is a method that combines sound and power to intimidate and strike enemies, causing their minds to tremble and their strength to greatly diminish. Naturally, their speed will be weakened as well."

After Di Tian finished, he looked at the dumbfounded Xiao Yun before him and said with a smile, "As long as you possess all these methods, you will be able to contend against that Space-Time Body."

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly. "That is far too much. Why not just tell me directly what I should do, Elder?"

Di Tian burst into laughter. Then, with a wave of his hand, he tossed over several books and said with a smile, "I prepared these things for you long ago: three Super Combat Techniques and three formations. As long as you have the ability to learn them all, you will be able to contend against the Space-Time Body."

Xiao Yun immediately looked toward the six books before him.
