Chapter 5676The roar of the sound waves shook the entire dilapidated hall, causing many lower-level disciples of the Yama Heavenly Sect to bleed from their ears and noses and faint.His tattered bronze armor creaked and groaned, and beneath his bronze skin, veins bulged like writhing dragons.A power even more violent, chaotic, and imbued with the aura of time than before erupted!“Ant! I… I’ll kill you!”he roared, his voice hoarse and stiff, as if he hadn’t spoken in a long time. But the killing intent within it was almost tangible!He was enraged!To be repelled by a mere ant, a mere Human Immortal Realm brat he could crush with a flick of his wrist, was an unbearable humiliation!“Boom!”The burly man held back, slamming his feet into the ground, creating a massive crater as if it were tofu.noveldramaHe transformed into a bronze streak of light, his speed more than twice as fast as before!The profound fluctuations of the laws of time on his fist trembled violently. This time, it wasn’t a simple localized time reversal, but rather the formation of visible, distorted, and blurred ripples of time, coiling around his fist!He intended to completely annihilate David and the space around him, plunging them into the turbulent currents of time!Facing this terrifying, furious attack, David’s eyes remained calmer than ever before.In that life-or-death moment of enlightenment, he had glimpsed a sliver of the true essence of time.Time is not a one-way flowing river, but rather more like a net that can be folded, cut, and covered… The so-called slowing, acceleration, and even reversal are merely different forms of manipulation of this “net.”The burly man’s time reversal was essentially forcibly covering a small node of the “net” with the state of a previous moment.David couldn’t resist before because his “net” was of a different texture than the opponent’s, making it impossible to withstand the covering effect.But now, he understands.Through synchronized vibration, he made his “net” match the frequency of the opponent’s “net” at that moment, avoiding being covered.Furthermore, he grasped how to actively “accelerate” the flow of time within his own “net”!“Good timing!” David let out a shout, facing a punch powerful enough to distort spacetime and destroy mountains and rivers. He neither dodged nor evaded, but instead met it head-on!But the way he met the punch made everyone’s hearts stop!He didn’t use any powerful sword techniques, nor did he gather a vast amount of spiritual power. He simply raised his left hand, his index and middle fingers together, forming a sword finger.And the instant he raised his sword finger, the flow of time around him suddenly changed!In the eyes of Yan Nantian, Liu Xue, and all the onlookers, David’s movements suddenly became blurry, as if they had been pressed on fast forward, faster than their divine sense could perceive!They could only see a blur!No, it wasn’t that David had become faster, but that his own time had been accelerated!“Time accelerated!”David silently chanted in his heart.Just a split second before the burly man’s fist, wreathed in ripples of time and seemingly capable of reversing the universe, was about to strike—in that time rift that was practically nonexistent for ordinary people—David’s sword finger arrived first!He didn’t directly confront the terrifying fist force, but instead transformed his spiritual power, imbued with a new understanding of time, into an extremely fine and condensed “time needle,” precisely targeting thecore node around the burly man’s fist—the area where the fluctuations of the laws of time were most intense, about to unleash their “coverage” and “reversal”!“Pfft!”A sound so faint it was almost negligible,like a needle puncturing a bubble.The ripples of time wrapped around the burly man’s fist, powerful enough to render any attack ineffective, dissipated instantly upon contact with David’s “time needle,” which contained the power of time acceleration, like a punctured balloon!The profound fluctuations of the laws of time instantly became chaotic and out of control!“What?”The burly man’s anger was instantly replaced by incredulous horror!He felt his control over time had been forcibly interrupted by that seemingly insignificant flick of the other’s finger?!How could this be?!
