Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

"Spatial teleportation? No... did it predict the point at which my time accelerated?"

Zhu Kun was horrified.

Although his manipulation of time is only a preliminary application and he cannot truly control the flow of time, combined with spatial travel, it is enough to make attacks almost unsolvable!

However, Han Feng seemed to have seen through the trajectory of time, and had already completed the evasion when the "cause" before the attack was launched appeared!

"It's my turn."

Han Feng's calm voice rang out.

He pointed his fingers like a sword and gently touched Zhukun's massive dragon body.

"Emperor Flame - Boundary Breaking Finger".

A seemingly slender beam of seven-colored light, yet containing the aura to pierce through all realms and incinerate the laws of existence, shot out in an instant.

Wherever the beam of light passed, space was silently dissolved and annihilated, leaving behind a void passage.

Zhu Kun felt a deadly threat.

He roared, and his body shone with a brilliant purple-gold light, while the spacetime runes on his dragon scales flickered wildly.

"Space-time barrier!"

A distorted, strange barrier, seemingly a fusion of time stagnation and spatial folding, instantly formed in front of him.

boom--!

The seven-colored beam of light slammed into the barrier of spacetime!

The power of time attempted to slow the speed of the beam, while the power of space attempted to fold and transfer it.

However, the power contained in that seven-colored beam of light was too high.

The power containing the origin of the Emperor Flame and the will of a peak Dou Di forcefully broke through the layers of obstacles of the space-time barrier with overwhelming force!

puff!

The beam of light grazed the edge of Zhukun's dragon wing, bringing with it a burning purple-gold scale and a painful dragon roar!

If Zhu Kun hadn't twisted his body with all his might at the last moment, that finger would have been enough to pierce his vital points!

The outcome has been decided.

Zhu Kun's massive dragon body stabilized in the void, and the wounds on the edges of his dragon wings healed rapidly under the powerful dragon essence, but his eyes were filled with shock and a hint of defeat.

At the same time, he also felt a little puzzled.

That move just now almost seriously injured Han Feng. Was it intentional? Or accidental?

In the past, even if it was just a friendly spar, Han Feng would never have done something so dangerous.

Zhu Kun had some doubts, but he didn't delve into them.

After all, injuries and fatalities are normal in a contest.

"Young friend, your abilities are truly remarkable. I admire you, Zhukun."

His enormous dragon head bowed, showing complete submission.

The gap is too big.

Han Feng didn't even use his full strength. That final finger strike, even though it threatened Zhu Kun with death, was definitely not his full-force attack.

Han Feng withdrew his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, but his eyes were fixed on the spot on the Zhukun Dragon Wing that had just healed, where extremely subtle fluctuations of the laws of space and time remained.

"The spacetime laws of the senior are extremely profound."

Han Feng's voice carried a hint of solemnity, "If my soul power hadn't been strong enough to sense the disturbance in the timeline in advance, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed from that claw attack."

"The power of time... is indeed unpredictable."

Zhu Kun shook his head with a wry smile: "Young friend, you flatter me. Time is a forbidden realm. Even though my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is exceptionally talented, we have only reached the pinnacle of the Dao of Space. As for time, we can only say that we 'borrow' it, far from being able to control it."

After breaking through to the Dou Di realm, Zhu Kun's senses became more acute, allowing him to more flexibly guide time to accelerate or slow down himself, but this was already his limit for combat.

Want to truly control time and reverse cause and effect? ​​That's wishful thinking, beyond human capability.

Zhu Kun's enormous dragon eyes looked towards the direction of Ancient Dragon Island with a hint of anticipation: "Perhaps... that girl Zi Yan's bloodline has returned to its ancestral form more thoroughly, and in the future, she will be able to go further than me on the path of time and space. However, she is currently in seclusion, trying to break through her cultivation level."

Han Feng nodded, silently processing Zhu Kun's words.

"Senior Zhukun, do you have a more detailed understanding of the power of time? As far as I know, the secret technique you used on Ziyan back then also involved the laws of time, right?"

Han Feng asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun fell silent. After pondering for a while, he replied, "That is indeed related to the laws of time, but it was exchanged for her mother's life."

Han Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.

Zi Yan's mother?

It seems that some "sad" things happened during that exploration trip a thousand years ago.

Zhu Kun was suppressed, and Zi Yan was enveloped by the laws of time. Unexpectedly, Zi Yan's mother also had a role in this.

"Zi Yan's mother was a rare ancient dragon among the Taixu Ancient Dragons who awakened the Law of Time ahead of schedule. She was exceptionally talented. If she were still alive, her cultivation level would definitely not be weaker than mine, but..."

Disasters often strike too suddenly, leaving little time for rescue efforts.

Even the ancient dragons who possessed the talent to control time had their regrets.

"I will tell you everything I know about the laws of time, but the more profound the laws of time are, the more difficult they become. If you want to learn them, you should be prepared."

"Then it's Senior Lao."

The brief clash in the void had already made Zhu Kun realize just how unfathomable Han Feng's current strength was.

Faced with Han Feng's request for a deeper discussion on the laws of time, Zhu Kun had no reason to refuse.

"Young friend, please follow me."

Zhu Kun's enormous dragon body led the way, causing spatial ripples to spread, instantly bringing Han Feng back to the core area of ​​Ancient Dragon Island—the Ancient Dragon Palace, constructed from countless giant dragon bones, inscribed with ancient spatial runes, and exuding a vast and ancient aura.

Zhu Kun transformed into human form, becoming a middle-aged man dressed in a purple-gold dragon robe, with a dignified face and the vicissitudes of time between his brows.

With a wave of his hand, an ancient stone platform rose in the center of the hall. The platform was engraved with extremely complex spacetime runes, which were faintly connected to the spatial structure of the entire Ancient Dragon Hall and even the entire Ancient Dragon Island.

"This place is the ancestral land where my clan comprehended time and space. It connects with the origin of the void, which may help you understand it more deeply."

Zhu Kun gestured for Han Feng to sit down.

Han Feng didn't stand on ceremony and sat cross-legged on one side of the stone platform.

His gaze swept over the runes on the stone platform, and his Emperor-level soul power silently spread, analyzing the profound mysteries of the laws of space and time contained within them.

The discussion begins.

As the emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, Zhukun's explanation of the laws of space is exquisite and profound yet easy to understand.

From spatial folding, traversing, confinement, and cutting, to higher-level construction of void barriers and anchoring spatial coordinates, it even involves the composition and characteristics of dimensional barriers.

These are the essence of the bloodline inheritance of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan over tens of millions of years.

Han Feng, with his Emperor-level soul power and the vision of a peak Dou Di, verified, supplemented, and even put forward new insights from a higher dimension.

His application of spatial laws leans more towards absolute control and extreme compression of power, which differs from the approach of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, which emphasizes agility and change. Their interactions spark a dazzling display of talent.

When the conversation delved into Zhu Kun's concept of "borrowing time," the atmosphere became even more somber.

Zhu Kun's expression was solemn, and a wisp of extremely faint silver light, as if it might dissipate at any moment, condensed at his fingertips.

Around this stream of light, space exhibits a strange sense of distortion, as if time becomes viscous or accelerates under its influence.

"This is the 'flow' of time, formless and intangible, difficult to capture, and even more difficult to control." Zhu Kun's voice was filled with awe. "All I can do is use the power of my bloodline as a guide and a powerful soul will as a rudder to try to guide the direction and speed of this wisp of water."

He demonstrated how to accelerate the flow of time within a very small area to achieve an attack speed beyond perception; and how to slow down the flow of time around his body to create a "time shield" effect, delaying the arrival of enemy attacks.

With each demonstration, Zhu Kun's face grew paler, clearly indicating a significant physical exertion.

Han Feng listened and watched quietly, not paying particular attention to Zhu Kun's condition.

"Every step leaves a trace."

After finishing his demonstration of the secret technique, Zhu Kun changed the subject and looked at Han Feng with a piercing gaze, as if scrutinizing his very soul.

"Young friend Han Feng, the laws of time tell us that any existence, any experience, as long as it has happened, will inevitably leave an indelible mark in the river of time, engraved in the depths of the soul, and inscribed within the laws of heaven and earth."

"This is an iron law of time, and no one can truly be an exception."

Zhu Kun leaned forward slightly, his voice lowered, carrying the ancient wisdom and worry of the dragon race: "Power is the ladder to climb, but do not let it become a fog that blinds you. No matter how you change, please be sure... do not lose your way."

Chapter 517 Earthly Sovereign

Zhu Kun had clearly discovered something.

As a race favored by the talent of spacetime, the Zhukun also possess a portion of the authority to see the spacetime network.

Even though it wasn't as clear as the Azure Dragon, a clue could still be detected.

Neither of them spoke immediately, and the atmosphere remained silent.

Han Feng didn't feel too much burden in his heart. To put it more seriously, even if he was now abandoned by everyone, it wouldn't affect his status as the number one on the continent.

With strength in hand, no evil spirits or monsters are worth mentioning.

"I have gained a lot from this discussion."

With that, Han Feng changed the subject.

"Senior Zhukun should already know about the extraterrestrial evil race, right?"

Zhu Kun nodded.

After learning from Gu Yuan about the impending invasion by the extraterrestrial evil race, Zhu Kun was shocked. He was even more worried when he heard that even Han Feng claimed he couldn't defeat them.

However, this worry was greatly reduced after he broke through to the Dou Di realm.

Only after breaking through to the Dou Di realm did I realize how weak I had been.

A significant increase in strength can alleviate any anxiety.

Unfortunately, after calming down and thinking carefully, if the enemy is really that powerful, what can a Dou Di change?

"According to reliable intelligence analysis, the next invasion by the extraterrestrial evil race will take place in five years."

Han Feng said.

"These five years are the last chance for the Dou Qi Continent."

"Five years..."

Zhu Kun's pupils contracted slightly.

If given a hundred years, he's confident he can build upon his current achievements and even surpass them. Reaching an even higher level isn't impossible, but five years...

It's too short!

"Let's hurry. If you can make a breakthrough in the realm of time, senior, it may pose a significant threat to the extraterrestrial evil race."

Han Feng said.

Techniques in the realm of time are too rare. Unlike space, the power of space varies greatly across different planes. In the Dou Qi Continent, it can shatter the void, but in other planes, it might not even cause a ripple.

The laws of time are common to all planes of the universe.

Anything that can influence time is a remarkable technique in any dimension.

Zhu Kun nodded solemnly.

Time was of the essence, and the joy of breaking through to the Dou Di realm was suppressed.

The road ahead is fraught with peril.

Fortunately, Han Feng had found the source energy beforehand; otherwise, Zhu Kun thought, if he hadn't broken through to the Dou Di level, would he have just been waiting to die?

Having gained a profound understanding of the laws of time, Han Feng left Ancient Dragon Island.

His mind was focused, and the core of the Emperor Flame in his sea of ​​consciousness pulsated slightly, like the most precise compass, keenly capturing the faint yet shared fluctuations from the depths of the distant void—the unique rhythm of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.

The fluctuations were elusive and uncertain, as if they might dissipate into the turbulent currents of the void at any moment.

If he didn't possess the Emperor Flame, the supreme flame among all flames, and have a natural control and sensitivity to all the strange flames in the world, locking onto this strange flame that deliberately concealed itself and had already developed powerful intelligence in the endless void would be like finding a needle in a haystack, and it would not be possible to accomplish this in a short period of time.

Following that increasingly clear yet always mysteriously distant connection, Han Feng traversed between void faults and energy storms.
