Chapter 182

Di Jun and Zhu Jiuyin, at this moment, also had solemn expressions.

The Ten Great Ancestral Witches all suffered defeat; now all hope rests upon the two of them.

"It seems we have indeed underestimated Daoist Chen Ku."

"Second brother, we must not be careless."

Di Jun glanced at Zhu Jiuyin beside him and could not help reminding him.

No need for many words; the next move will naturally be Zhu Jiuyin's.

As the leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jun is the final bulwark.

Hearing this, Zhu Jiuyin solemnly nodded.

However, he did not rush to act directly.

Instead, he looked at Chen Ku and spoke:

"Daoist Chen Ku, having consecutively defeated our ten brothers, must have expended greatly."

"I can wait for Daoist to adjust his breath before we continue the contest."

Zhu Jiuyin's consideration is quite thorough.

Of course, he perhaps also fears gaining a reputation of winning dishonorably.

But upon hearing his words, Chen Ku smiled indifferently.

"Haha, no need!"

"A quick battle and swift decision will do!"

Although he had consecutively defeated the Ten Great Ancestral Witches, Chen Ku showed no trace of fatigue.

On the contrary, his state was unprecedentedly vigorous; his eyes burst with brilliant light, shining brightly, full of oppressive pressure.

Exhilarating!

Today's contest was truly refreshing and satisfying, exhilarating to the utmost.

Within a short day, he successively comprehended the power of ten laws.

What an extraordinary, heaven-defying opportunity!

One must know that for an ordinary cultivator of the Primordial Era, even a lifetime might not suffice to grasp ten percent of a single law.

This harvest truly exceeds imagination.

Once this matter concludes, returning to the West to ponder deeply, there is great hope of achieving the Three-Life Buddha Body United.

By then, he will be equivalent to other mighty beings' Three Corpses United, and even stronger than the Way of the Three Corpses, unmatched.

One must know that, looking across heaven and earth, among the countless innate great powers, those able to behead all Three Corpses are not many.

Perhaps only the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, and Di Jun and the like.

Even Nüwa, who has already become a sage, has not taken that step.

Before attaining the Dao and becoming a sage, her cultivation was only mid-stage quasi-sage, evidently she had not beheaded the Self Corpse.

But the merit of creating humanity was immense enough, which allowed Nüwa to directly surpass the step of beheading the Self Corpse and in one leap reach sage cultivation.

"Perhaps only the future Taishang Laojun alone realized the flaw in beheading the Three Corpses."

"Thus, he created the method of transforming one qi into the Three Pure Ones."

Chen Ku's heart stirred greatly, making such a conjecture.

In later ages, Laozi became the strongest among the Six Saints, very likely being the Three Corpses United.

From this, one can see how astonishing the effect of the Three Corpses United is, and how immense its difficulty.

In short, today's comprehension of fully ten laws will surely accelerate Chen Ku's progress toward the Three-Life Buddha Body United, enhancing it tremendously.

He secretly sighed, and Chen Ku did not think further.

Gazing at Zhu Jiuyin opposite, without need for many words, their contest began once again.

Unlike before with Zhurong, Gonggong, and the others.

When Zhu Jiuyin made his move, there was no fierce or violent aura around him.

But vast streams of lawful order circulated, mysterious and unparalleled, profound and unfathomable.

This was the manifestation of the Time Law's power.

Chen Ku's expression grew solemn, his gaze stern.

Zhu Jiuyin's ranking as second among the Twelve Ancestral Witches means his strength is absolutely not to be underestimated.

Moreover, the saying 'Time is supreme, space is king' circulates, which sufficiently shows the supreme terror of the Time Law.

The two immediately engaged in battle, heavenly sounds booming incessantly, deafening.

Even the void of space was completely torn apart by their attacks.

However, relying on his indestructible flesh and partial support from the Law of Force, Chen Ku remained dominant.

Facing Zhu Jiuyin, he also did not fall into a disadvantage.

However, at a certain moment, an abrupt change occurred!

Chen Ku keenly sensed that everything around him seemed to be collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, the Dao's qi flow reversed, as if suddenly turning back, regressing.

Immediately after, Zhu Jiuyin's form instantly descended beside Chen Ku.

"Haha, Daoist Chen Ku, take this move!"

Before his words finished, Zhu Jiuyin already threw a punch.

A vast, abyss-like power surged forth, heavily striking Chen Ku's body.

This blow made his body shudder violently, forcing him to retreat dozens of steps uncontrollably.

"Huh?"

"Is this... time reversal, seeking the flaw in my attack?"

"Not bad!"

He clearly realized that Zhu Jiuyin had actually reversed their battle, and at the critical moment, found the sole flaw in his own strike.

Only then could he repel Chen Ku with a single punch.

Of course, that blow didn't injure Chen Ku at all.

But he felt greatly astonished, gaining an even clearer understanding of the mysterious profundity of the time law.

"What a miraculous ability."

"So speaking, each reversal seeks the opponent's weakness."

"That would mean having infinite possibilities, wouldn't it?"

Chen Ku realized the tremendous marvelous use of the time law.

After all, in clashes between top experts, victory or defeat often hinges on an instant.

Any single time reversal might be enough to change the outcome of a great battle.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen Ku's perception is indeed sharp."

"Next, I'll see how Fellow Daoist breaks the situation."

Zhu Jiuyin laughed loudly, proudly self-satisfied, full of confidence in his time law.

Afterward, the offensive resumed.

Although it was merely a sparring match, the momentum remained astonishing.

Wave after wave of mighty power swept forth, shaking the ten directions, shattering the void; the sight was truly terrifying.

Under time reversal, Zhu Jiuyin's offense was virtually indefensible, extremely troublesome.

Helpless, Chen Ku had no choice but to focus his mind.

"Law of Fire!"

"Law of Water!"

"Law of Thunder!"

"Law of Earth!"

All the laws he had previously comprehended manifested fully, swirling around Chen Ku, reflecting each other, brilliant and dazzling.

With the laws upon him, myriad laws cannot invade.

For a moment, even Zhu Jiuyin found it hard to approach, let alone break Chen Ku's defense.

Watching this, the Ancestral Witches stared agape, shocked and lamenting.

"How... Fellow Daoist Chen Ku, how can you comprehend so many laws?"

"Moreover, each is profound and exquisite, with deep attainment."

"Hiss... This is too monstrous."

Everyone marveled without end.

But they didn't know that these laws were merely what Chen Ku had comprehended in the earlier sparring.

If they knew, they'd surely be shocked enough to drop their jaws.

Di Jiang's face showed a contemplative expression.

"Could it also be because of the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique? That would let him master many laws, complementing each other!"

The Ancestral Witches only knew that Chen Ku cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique, and to them, this art was profound and miraculous enough.

Thus, Di Jiang naturally made such a speculation.

As the words fell, Zhu Rong, Qiang Liang, and others nodded in agreement.

"Not bad, not bad, this must be the reason!"

"In that case, it makes sense."

"Ultimately, it must be the Father God's created technique that yields such an ancient-modern shocking effect."

In just a few words, everyone shifted their speculation to awe of the ancient Pangu Great God.

They inherit Pangu's essence blood and call themselves the Pangu Orthodoxy.

The greater Pangu's might, the more his influence spans the ages, letting the Ancestral Witches share in the glory, gazing proudly.

In the arena.

Chen Ku rolled his eyes at Di Jiang and the others' words.

These Ancestral Witches sure know how to give themselves a golden face.

He didn't say much, merely continuing to resist Zhu Jiuyin's might head-on.

Meanwhile, his heaven-defying comprehension operated at the extreme, observing the trajectories and fluctuations of the time laws, carefully sensing their subtleties.

The difficulty of comprehending the time law is obviously not comparable to the previous few laws.

Thus, Chen Ku's sparring match with Zhu Jiuyin also proved unprecedentedly lengthy.

No one knew how long had passed.

At a certain moment, Chen Ku's expression suddenly shifted.

Just then, the previously obscure time law suddenly became clear.

【You, in battle against Zhu Jiuyin, have painstakingly comprehended and gained 5% understanding of the time law!】

【You, taking the time law as basis, have instantaneously enlightened and deduced the Great Divine Ability of Time Reversal!】

Obtained!

Chen Ku rejoiced greatly!

This time, though he had only grasped five percent of the time law, Chen Ku did not feel discouraged.

This instead better demonstrates the overwhelming, unparalleled power of the law of time.

Hehe, what comes next......

Now it's my turn to reverse time.

Chen Ku gave a light chuckle, without hesitation directly employing the same great divine ability of time reversal.

Immediately, a rolling surge of mighty power struck Zhu Jiuyin, sending him tumbling away.

At this moment, the entire crowd was shocked.
