Chapter 2780 Time Slash
Encouraged, Bega's army immediately launched a new round of fierce attacks in the middle!
At this moment, the vanguard of the army was less than 120 zhang away from the wall of Mingshalin Village. Judging from the current situation, if they launched one or two more charges, the Bega army might be able to reach the base of the wall!
Once they reach the wall, the breach in the wall will still be large, and the repair speed will be much slower than before. A strong monster can jump in with a single leap!
This further proves that Panlong's Yuan Power is scarce, and even the Yuan Power used to repair the village walls has been withheld!
Since it concerns the life and death of Panlong, as long as Zhong Shengguang still has some Yuan energy left, he will definitely fill this huge hole as soon as possible.
At this point, Bai Zhantian finally felt relieved and turned to look to the northwest.
He Lingchuan stood there.
At the last possible moment, he dodged and was not swallowed by the black hole.
Although his back was still ramrod straight, Bai Zhantian was certain that this fellow was also nearing his end, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed himself to attack the walls of Mingshalin Village—Baizhantian's previous attacks had all been stopped by General Huyi.
This time, if we don't stop them, we can't stop them.
Bai Zhantian sneered at He Lingchuan, then pressed his arm down, causing the handle of the Blood Blade Flying Axe to suddenly lengthen, transforming it from a short-handled hand axe into a long-handled battle axe. Then, he separated his hands, actually breaking the axe into two, holding one in each hand.
The axe was not much different from before, except that the blade had become thinner, and it had changed from being heavy to being sharp.
He grabbed the two axes, twirled them, and lightly pushed off the ground with his toes. With a whoosh, the twenty-foot distance was covered in an instant. Another metallic clang rang out as the two clashed again, their movements still so fast that onlookers could only see a blur.
He Lingchuan remained agile, but Bai Zhantian noticed that his ability to parry attacks had weakened significantly, even less than half of what it used to be. Several times in succession, Bai Zhantian unleashed a straight axe strike, but He Lingchuan no longer met the blow head-on, instead choosing to dodge.
That way, he would have a better understanding of the situation.
Bai Zhantian gave a cold laugh, retreated several feet, raised his battle axe with both hands, crossed them slightly, and then swung it in an arc to the sides.
This seemingly ordinary movement was extremely difficult for Bai Zhantian, as if he were facing a completely solidified cement block that he had to pry open. Not only were his eyes bulging outwards and veins popping out on his forehead, but even the base of his thumb was turning white from pressing so hard.
The divine body he was attached to, namely the body of True Lord Cangxi, had its exposed skin, such as the neck, the back of the hands, and the part of the hair, cracked and bled.
With his first axe stroke, he cleaved open the wall of Mingshalin Village.
The second axe blow required Hundred Battles Heaven to exert far more effort than the first.
The axe shone brightly, radiating golden light. The soldiers on both sides instinctively turned their heads away, unable to look directly at it. He Lingchuan, standing opposite him, saw that the axe looked as if it had just been taken out of a high-temperature furnace, its entire body radiating a blazing orange-white light.
The light was so intense that no one could even see the axe's original shape.
However, the two axe blows did not strike He Lingchuan directly. Instead, they created an arc that completely isolated the space within seven zhang around him from the outside world. From a distance, He Lingchuan appeared to be entirely enveloped in this orange sphere of light.
This is the second move of the Three-Strike Combo of the Hundred Battles Heaven: Time Cage.
Also known as "Time Amber".
Before he could form his own divine essence, Bai Zhantian once traveled through the celestial realm in search of a breakthrough in his cultivation.
At that time, he encountered another god who was also about to condense a godhood, and it was an extremely rare time godhood.
In the celestial realm, occasionally different deities will coalesce into similar divine essences. This is because different celestial beings may have different insights and understandings of a certain type of law.
For example, in the Celestial Realm, there are at least three Celestial Gods who possess the Divine Spark of Life. The most powerful and undisputed is naturally the Holy Venerable Lingxu, who inherited the Divine Spark of Life from the Ancient God. However, besides him, there are two other Celestial Gods who have also condensed the Divine Spark of Life, but their manifestations and effects are somewhat different from the Holy Venerable's.
Similarly, there were several gods who possessed the divine title of Time. Bai Zhantian and that god didn't get along at all, and a fierce battle quickly broke out. In the end, Bai Zhantian naturally won, and the opponent's divine title became his spoils of war.
The so-called divine status is both the understanding and mastery of the rules by the gods, and also contains a part of their own divine power.
After obtaining this divine spark, Bai Zhantian pondered it for many years and finally integrated it with his own laws.
This second axe strike is a prime example of his fusion of his power with the divine essence of time, its core being only one thing:
With enough force, nothing is impossible to break, including time!
As the saying goes, "You can't cut water with a knife." But if you slow down the process, it's easy to see that at the very moment the knife is swung, the water is indeed completely severed by the blade!
That frozen moment is the power of time.
In that instant, time stood still, and the flowing water froze.
This is the effect that the combination of power and time has on the target.
This principle still applies to today's battlefield.
If time is likened to flowing water, He Lingchuan's flow of time is consistent with that of everyone else present. However, Bai Zhantian's Time Slash used the power of the Time Godhood to isolate He Lingchuan from the long flow of time, like cutting water with a knife.
However, this time, Bai Zhantian severed the flow of time, not the flow of water.
In that instant, this short, isolated segment of time, with its beginning and end cut off, forms a time prison.
The prey trapped in the cage of time is in a state of near stagnation, with a slight time difference between itself and the operation of things in the outside world.
For ordinary people, and even for ordinary practitioners, this time difference is just a blink of an eye, not even enough time to sneeze.
This is what is meant by "time flies like an arrow."
But for a Great Heavenly Demon of Hundred Battles' caliber, that's enough to make ten moves.
The opponent, trapped in the cage of time, is aware of the situation but cannot move, remaining essentially still.
This is why Bai Zhantian calls it "Time Amber." Aren't the little insects encased in amber also in this state? Helpless, helpless, and awaiting their fate.
What in this world could be more exhilarating than dominating the life of a powerful individual?
So after Bai Zhantian unleashed the Time Slash, he immediately followed up with a flurry of activity, intending to finely chop He Lingchuan from the amber into minced meat.
Although this series of actions had its reasons and sequence, to most bystanders it was actually a seamless process.
As they saw it, Bai Zhantian first drew an arc to surround Tiger Wing General, and then grabbed his axe and unleashed a barrage of attacks without pausing.
