Not Tide of the Ages, but Song of the Ages. However, there was definitely an intimate relations.h.i.+p between these two celestial techniques. Moreover, one of the mystical symbols caused Ling Han to feel a strong sense of familiarity. If he comprehended this symbol under the Reincarnation Tree, he would be able to completely understand it after comprehending it for 100 years of real-time.
‘This celestial technique is more powerful!’
The Tide of the Ages only possessed a single ability—to age the attacks of the opponent. However, Song of the Ages could do even more than that. It could reverse the pa.s.sage of time, allowing one to look into the past. In fact, this ability could even allow one to predict the future!
This was the complete version of the celestial technique. The Ding Clan had most likely raided the Hu Clan and obtained a copy of this celestial technique. Afterward, with the pa.s.sing of time, this celestial technique had eventually become the bloodline inheritance of the Ding Clan—the Tide of the Ages. This also revealed that Ding Zizhen had most likely died far after the destruction of the Hu Clan.
Powerful celestial techniques could be fused into one’s bloodline and pa.s.sed down onto future generations. However, following the destruction of the Hu Clan, the Song of the Ages had eventually become an ultimate technique of the Ding Clan. This was truly a twist of fate that would make one sigh with pity.
The Nine Heavens Flame took root inside Ling Han’s body, becoming his source flame. During this process, his cultivation naturally advanced as well. This was because the ancestral flame was far too powerful and high-level. Even though it was only fusing with Ling Han, it still brought him boundless and immeasurable benefits.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, the king tiers in the second stage were still bathed in the sweet dew and the blessings of heaven and earth.
In fact, this blessing of heaven and earth was bestowed by the Sun Stone. This was a rare treasure of the Celestial Realm, so even an iota of its power was enough to bring great benefits to the cultivators of the Immortal Realm and allow them to undergo astonis.h.i.+ng transformations.
“It’s already been half a month, so why has it still not concluded yet?”
“In the past, it would have concluded after a maximum of 10 days!”
“Could it be because someone ascended that gigantic golden boulder?”
“These people are so fortunate!”
“Heh, some people are also incredibly unfortunate!”
The incredibly unfortunate people naturally included Zi Chenfeng, Long Xiangyue, Second in the World, and the other rank three king tiers. In stark contrast to them, Gu Daoyi was able to receive the blessings of heaven and earth because he had been locked in an intense battle with Empress Luan Xing at the time. His Divine Fetus was profoundly mysterious, and it was as if he were about to hover away with the wind and directly ascend into the Celestial Realm.
One month, two months, six months… The blessings of heaven and earth continued to shower the prodigies in the second stage of the valley. In fact, this mysterious event even astonished a Saint, who personally traveled over to check on the situation. Only after confirming that there was no harm being done to the prodigies did he leave the Sunken Abyss Valley.
One year, three years, five years!
Time slowly crept by. Most people had already left, yet their shock still had yet to dissipate. The blessings of heaven and earth were far too astonis.h.i.+ng this time. Those who had reached the second stage of the compet.i.tion were destined to soar far above all other prodigies.
This was already the case with the prodigies in the second stage, so what about Ling Han?
10 years slowly crept by.
Humans were forgetful beings, and thus there was already very little attention on what was going on in the Sunken Abyss Valley. Even though such astounding events had occurred there 10 years ago, even astonis.h.i.+ng a Saint, many people had already become accustomed to its current state.
The cultivators who had successfully reached the second stage were still bathing in the blessing of heaven and earth that was exuded by the Sun Stone, tempering their bodies. The most evident sign of this was their physique, where a sheen of light was continuously pulsating.
It was possible that they could master the legendary Sun Physique, a physique that could unleash a dazzling glow when they were battling against their opponents. Not only could this glow affect their opponent’s vision, but it could even trick their divine sense. This was an incredibly powerful physique.
Moreover, physiques that were mastered later in life and not naturally possessed wouldn’t affect one’s original bloodline or physique. In other words, they could be viewed as a Mystical Power. Thus, this would bring huge benefits to all of the cultivators in the second stage. However, one person was different.
Gu Daoyi.
This was because he had already mastered a Mystical Power, Dazzle the Heavens, in his first life. This Mystical Power had similar effects to the Sun Physique. Thus, even though he had now combined the two Mystical Powers, elevating the might of the former, the benefit that he had received from this was far inferior to that of the other cultivators. After all, they had learned a new Mystical Power, whereas he had simply seen some slight improvement in his own Mystical Power.
This was still better than nothing though, just that his improvement was far too minute.
Weng!
At this moment, the light that was enveloping the valley suddenly vanished. Everyone opened their eyes at the same time.
The blessings of heaven and earth had finally come to an end.
“I think I’ve mastered an incredible Mystical Power!”
“Gasp! I actually advanced from the early stage of the medium extreme to the middle stage of the medium extreme!”
“Me too! I advanced from the middle stage of the high extreme to the late stage of the high extreme!”
“My physique has grown stronger, and it seems like I can absorb Spiritual Qi and sense the existence of heaven and earth with far more ease.”
The cultivators all shouted in delight and astonishment. After absorbing the blessings of heaven and earth for 10 years, all of them had experienced tremendous improvements.
Gu Daoyi was slightly baffled at first. However, killing intent quickly spread across his face as he looked at the gigantic golden boulder in the sky.
He felt like his great opportunity had been stolen from him.
His Divine Fetus had indeed advanced slightly, yet this improvement wasn’t especially great. Moreover, receiving the Sun Physique was completely negligible for him. In addition, he had already reached the barrier of the peak stage of the Heavenly Body Tier, so unless he advanced to the Eternal River Tier, he would barely see any improvements in his cultivation.
If the benefits received by the others were given a score of 10 out of 10, then the benefits that he had received would only score a maximum of one out of 10!
More detestable was the fact that Ling Han might have received benefits that scored 100 out of 10!
He was seething with killing intent. Regardless of what benefits Ling Han had received, he would definitely steal them away from him! This great fortune could only belong to him!
Boom!
He soared into the sky. The Sunken Abyss Valley had already returned to normal at this moment, so he could naturally use the ability of flight. In his eyes, a distance of 3000 meters was nothing, and he covered this distance in the blink of an eye. He then ruthlessly lashed out, swiping his palm at the gigantic golden boulder.
At that time, he had clearly seen Ling Han being absorbed into the gigantic golden boulder. Moreover, he believed that Ling Han was still inside. Now that he was attacking an unprepared Ling Han, he was convinced that he could severely injure or even kill him.
After all, he wasn’t at the low extreme of the Heavenly Body Tier anymore. Rather, he had already regained his normal cultivation!
He was at the peak stage of the pinnacle level, and he possessed the ability to kill even elites at the low extreme of the Eternal River Tier!
“You dare?!” Empress Luan Xing dashed over to block him.
“Stop!” The Rain Emperor also lashed out.
“You dare to disrespect my master?!” Ding Ping and Jiuyao also charged over.
Although Xu Ran, the Notionless Saint, and the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden didn’t speak, they also launched attacks toward Gu Daoyi.
“Do you think ants like you can stop me?” Gu Daoyi said with a sneer. He had already regained his power now, and he more so possessed a Divine Fetus and 10 lifetimes of Mystical Power. Who in the Heavenly Body Tier could stop him?
He simply made a pressing motion with his left hand to defend against their attacks. Meanwhile, his right hand continued to slap toward the gigantic golden boulder.
He was exuding a mighty aura as he battled against seven king tiers alone.
Peng!
There was a deafening rumble as Gu Daoyi’s palm struck the gigantic golden boulder. At the same time, the gigantic golden boulder also started to crumble, disintegrating into millions upon billions of broken pieces. In fact, these disintegrating shards of rock were so small that they were invisible to the naked eye.
The attacks of Empress Luan Xing and the others arrived immediately afterward. However, Gu Daoyi’s left hand transformed into a gigantic black demonic palm that blocked all of their ferocious attacks.
However, Gu Daoyi frowned slightly as he raised his left hand. To his surprise, there were three fractures on his palm.
One was caused by Empress Luan Xing, one by the Rain Emperor, and one by the Notionless Saint.
He couldn’t help but feel astonished. There were actually three people who could wound him?
He had underestimated them!
