Yang Ze had laid a trap for the Lord of Dimensions when it next approached his body.
"You bastard!" The Lord of Dimensions was outraged. It was a master of phasing through space, dodging its opponents' attacks readily before counterattacking with its own, which would always land. In the end, fatigued by a thousand bites and never having landed a single attack, its opponents would fall and perish in agony.
This time, however, the Lord of Dimensions was being forced back in its own domain of expertise. Its rage was incredible.
"[The Boundless Blade: Dragonwhale]!" The lapping of waves echoed through the hall. They grew and grew, reaching a crescendo and rising into the sky like a tsunami, manifesting in the form of a huge whale.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Ze was surrounded by a patch of ocean.
The lapping of waves echoed through the hall. They grew and grew, reaching a crescendo and rising into the sky like a tsunami, manifesting in the form of a huge whale.
The Lord of Dimensions, ignoring the whale, phased through space and made to strike at Yang Ze, spatial force gathering over its sharp fangs as it sought to tear Yang Ze's attack apart.
The whale's body was long and streamlined, with long whiskers and scales patterning its body. As it flipped, concentrated water-attuned genetic energy exploded around itself, smashing into the Lord of Dimensions and sending it tumbling back the moment it tried to strike.
The most turbulent of chaotic energies, sufficient to swallow up even a sun, formed a barrier around the energy so as to prevent the explosion from affecting any of the guests.
The king of chaos protected his audience once again.
The Lord of Dimensions flipped through the air several times before smashing down onto the arena, quite a few of its teeth having been knocked loose in the aftermath of the attack. Its body shimmered with cracks as it looked toward Yang Ze with disbelief.
Its teeth had been imbued with concentrated spatial force, which should have torn apart the space around Yang Ze, and hence his body. However, Yang Ze seemed wholly unaffected.
Yang Ze widened his arms. "Don't look at me like that, will you?"
The Lord of Dimensions couldn't help but ask, "Are you truly a human?"
"Indeed I am."
As though it had just thought of something, the Lord of Dimensions continued, "No, even if your body is ethereal, I should be able to attack you. Have you been fighting me all this time with an illusion?!"
Yang Ze couldn't help but smile. "I would hardly reveal all my secrets to you in public."
Yang Ze's karmic power, which he had recently awakened, was an inversion of heaven's might. In combination with his skilled illusions, Yang Ze could come up with all manner of ridiculous techniques.
"Regardless, it's immaterial to you now."
Upon hearing Yang Ze's voice, the Lord of Dimensions belatedly realized that it had been surrounded by thick white fog. All the excess water-attuned genetic energy from Yang Ze's attacks had dispersed into the environment and was now being transformed into white fog, so thick that his hand would be obscured if he extended his arm.
Pale blue sharks swam through the fog, and a horde surrounded him protectively.
Yang Ze was never one for brute force.
Despite being faced with a dense sea of pale blue sharks, the Lord of Dimensions didn't seem worried. It roared dramatically, "Man, avatar, or spirit—I, Mh'ithrha, shall kill you!"
The Lord of Dimensions phased through space and appeared directly before Yang Ze. It bit down, but its teeth passed straight through him.
Yang Ze's illusion was purely that; he hadn't invoked any spatial authority or karmic strength.
However, the enraged Lord of Dimensions could no longer tell illusion from reality. The reason Yang Ze had enraged the Lord of Dimensions with his crystalline lotuses was to cause it to lose its rationality.
At that moment, Yang Ze was standing not far from the illusion. Water-attuned genetic energy surged forth from him like a roaring sea.
"[The Boundless Blade: Sea Serpent]!" With a wave of Yang Ze's sword, water-attuned genetic energy manifested in the form of a giant serpent, pale blue in color, with gills on either side of its body, its scales like crystalline shards of ice. It surged forward, swiping its claws. The Lord of Dimensions phased through space to avoid it, but the dragon was so large, and Yang Ze's attack so opportune, that the Lord of Dimensions couldn't escape unscathed.
The Lord of Dimensions counterattacked by opening its maw wide, shooting out a cannonball of compressed space that tore through the sea serpent. Before it could roar in pride, however, the sea serpent exploded and sent another wave of genetic energy surging through the arena, heavily wounding the Lord of Dimensions.
"The victor is clear," the king of chaos announced.
The king of chaos dispelled the barrier of chaos and healed the Lord of Dimensions before asking Yang Ze what he wanted. contemporary romance
Rather than give it up like Li Feng, or defer it like Sun Xiaowu, Yang Ze calmly stated,
"I'd like to glean further understanding of higher-dimensional space."
The king of chaos commented, "Your mastery over space must be quite refined for you to be able to invoke spatial authority in the eighteenth layer of space so quickly."
"And yet it could always be improved, I'm sure," Yang Ze replied.
The king of chaos stated, "I have two methods of granting your wish. The first is to accept my knowledge and intuition. I have a particular understanding of space, far beyond what you possess, but it won't be something you can emulate completely."
"What side effects are there?" Yang Ze asked.
"None," the king of chaos replied. "If you insist, I suppose one drawback is that the intuition and understanding is wholly mine. Before you digest it completely, the growth of your spatial mastery will slow to a halt. Furthermore, there wouldn't be the accomplishment and struggle that your companion spoke of."
"This seems acceptable to me."
"Even so, I recommend the second approach. I'll send you directly to the twenty-fourth layer of space and allow you to develop your own intuition and mastery. The drawback is that it's rather dangerous, and you might perish. Given your talent, however, I doubt this would be a problem. From what I've learned of all of you, you would surely pick the second option."
Yang Ze narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "Give me a moment to think it through, please."
The first method was clearly simpler...
