Chapter 2614: Divine Step

“What is the fastest speed in the universe?” the Lord of Nephilim Island asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “The speed of light, of course.”

The Lord of Nephilim Island pondered for a moment and did not comment. He said, “In this case, the speed of your 10,000 times Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light is almost 1% of the speed of light. It is already the top speed below the divinity. How can it be considered slow?”

Zhang Ruochen was confused. “Isn’t the speed of light the fastest speed?”

“The speed of light is the fastest at your current level. It’s not the fastest speed to escape, but space is!”

Zhang Ruochen fell into deep thought.

The Lord of Nephilim Island said, “You’re a Master of Space, but you asked me to teach you a secret life-saving technique. It’s really not right!”

“Although I am a Master of space, I only have Secret Tome of Time and Space to practice. Moreover, I explore it by myself. My understanding of the Path of Dimension is still very shallow.”

In front of a Grand Supreme Master, Zhang Ruochen did not dare to say how great his attainment of dimension was.

The Lord of Nephilim Island agreed with Zhang Ruochen’s modest words. He nodded slightly and said, “Space is mysterious and unpredictable. It is indeed difficult to explore it by yourself. Look carefully!”

Whoosh!

The Lord of Nephilim Island stretched out a wrinkled finger and pointed at the void space.

The surrounding space trembled slightly.

The Lord of Nephilim Island asked, “What do you see?”

The Light of Truth flowed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He said, “There seem to be some rivers and mountains in the space. They rise and fall. They seem to flow, but they also seem to be unmoving. What is this?”

“This is the Spatial Vein!”

The Lord of Nephilim Island retracted his finger. He said, “You have the Canon of Truth. It can indeed make your path of practice easier. But you are the Master of Space. Why don’t you use the Canon of Dimension to sense it? How can your space attainments improve if you don’t use your Power of Dimensions?”

Zhang Ruochen was a little embarrassed. He said, “Grand Master, please show me again!”

The Lord of Nephilim Island put his hand back into his sleeve. He shook his head and said, “I could give three chances, ten chances, or even more if it were another cultivator. But I would only give a chance for you. You have talent and comprehension but don’t know how to use it. I have to force you. Next, you should feel the Spatial Vein yourself.”

It seemed...

Unreasonable.

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and stopped using the Power of Truth. Instead, he used the Canon of Dimension to feel the subtle changes in the space. noVeLb1n

The voice of the Lord of Nephilim Island rang in his ears, “Space is not a flat piece of white paper, nor unchanging. It has countless veins and folds. There are signs of distortion, collapse, fracture, and void transformation.”

Space is indestructible in some places, but some can easily tear it apart by a Supreme Saint cultivator.

As a Master of Space, you need to know how to tear or jump in space and why you can do it smoothly.

You also need to know how to protect and control space. You need to make it stable until the gods can’t tear it apart. You need to make space entirely under your control. No one can stop it.

The Lord of Nephilim Island explained many mysteries of the Path of Dimension. Some of them even subverted Zhang Ruochen’s understanding of space.

Zhang Ruochen entered the state of enlightenment. Sometimes, he released the Spatial Domain and Profound Spatial Dimension to shake the surrounding space and look for traces of veins.

After an unknown amount of time, it was as if a pair of eyes had appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s body. The moment the Profound Spatial Dimension was released and the space was shaken, he could faintly see the existence of the Spatial Vein.

He pounced forward and felt weightlessness. He found he was hundreds of miles away when he opened his eyes.

“This is... Great Dimensional Shift?”

The Lord of Nephilim Island laughed from afar, “Great Dimensional Shift is done by opening the Spatial Vein and passing through the Spatial Shield.”

It had to be said that Zhang Ruochen’s comprehension and talent had indeed made the Lord of Nephilim Island, who had been depressed for 100,000 years, much happier.

The Lord of Nephilim Island said, “Logically speaking, only gods can sense the

Spatial Vein when they use their divine souls. You’re brilliant and can use the Canon of Dimension to do this in Supreme Saint!”

Blackie would be shocked if it was here.

It thought it was also a peerless genius, but it had never been praised by the island lord when it practiced on the Nephilim Island. It had always felt that the island lord’s standard was too high. No matter how outstanding a cultivator was, they would not be able to meet his standard.

The Lord of Nephilim Island continued, “In divinity, the god can use Divine Qi to infill the Spatial Vein and open up the Star Path of Spatial. This was a path that only the god could walk. Every step it took was 129,600 miles. And it was only at the level of the most ordinary gods. This is called the Divine Step.”

With that, the Lord of Nephilim Island took a small step.

“Grand Master just escaped from the Fane of Destiny. He must have a lot of important things to do in Kunlun and Celestial Court. I’m afraid that all the gods want to meet him. But now he’s spending his energy on me. He obviously has high expectations for me. How can I let him down?”

The Lord of Nephilim Island had taken seven or eight steps in a moment. He was a million miles away. Zhang Ruochen couldn’t see him even with the Eye of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen quickly chased after him.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Zhang Ruochen had almost used up all the Saint Qi in his body in just three steps.

However, he didn’t stop. He grabbed a Godstone with each hand and absorbed the energy from the Godstone to recover the Saint Qi in his body. At the same time, he used his spiritual power to mobilize the Spiritual Qi and Saint Qi between heaven and earth and continuously absorbed them into his body.

He still could not meet the consumption. Zhang Ruochen had to take out the sacred medicine and put it in his mouth.

Although he could barely maintain the consumption of Saint Qi, the demigod’s body could not bear the continuous pressure of space. It was showing signs of collapse after only dozens of steps.

Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen’s body recovered quickly. He still bit the bullet and persevered even if his skin was cracked and his organs were shattered.

Finally, he caught up with the Lord of Nephilim Island.

Zhang Ruochen immediately stopped and tried his best to circulate the practices to recover the Saint Qi in his body. He also swallowed the Spring of Life to recover from his injuries.

The Lord of Nephilim Island was already a million miles away before his injuries recovered. Zhang Ruochen had to continue to chase after him. His body was once again in a cycle of collapse and recovery.

The Saint Qi in his body was on the verge of being exhausted at any moment.

Gradually, Zhang Ruochen learned some tricks. He learned techniques to reduce the consumption of Saint Qi as much as possible and ways to avoid the squeezing of space.

Of course, these techniques and methods only made it easier for him.

After more than 200 steps, Zhang Ruochen reached his limit. His body was covered in blood. He fell into the void space. All his strength seemed to have been exhausted.

The Lord of Nephilim Island stopped and said, “215 steps. It’s not bad to reach this level in Hundred-Shackle Realm. If your spiritual power reaches the 69th level and breaks through Thousand-Koan Realm, you should be able to increase your limit to more than 500 steps. Then, you have a chance to escape even if you meet a pseudo god.”

Whoosh.

The Lord of Nephilim Island didn’t do anything. The heaven and earth Spiritual Qi and Saint Qi quickly gathered toward Zhang Ruochen. It was like spring water entering a desert, nourishing him.

In an instant, Zhang Ruochen’s injuries recovered completely. The Saint Qi in his body reached its peak.

“Do you want to continue?” The Lord of Nephilim Island asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Yes, I want to continue.”

“Okay.”

Zhang Ruochen reached his limit and fell to the ground every 200 steps.

The path to Saint Monk Xumi’s place of death was unprecedentedly difficult, but Zhang Ruochen was full of fighting spirit and never tired of it. As he could clearly feel that his understanding of space was increasing.

His control over the demigod’s body became more exquisite.

His spiritual power was also constantly challenging its limits. Step by step, it grew stronger and closer to the 69th level.

He didn’t know how long he had walked, but he had left Kunlun entirely. He came to a dark and silent starry sky. There wasn’t a single star here. It was as if he had returned to the Triangular Starfield of Darkness.

Zhang Ruochen knew that it wasn’t the stars that had disappeared. It was just that the space here was too unique. He couldn’t see the stars.

Zhang Ruochen looked at the Lord of Nephilim Island, who had stopped and said, “Saint Monk Xumi’s place of death is in this space?”

Although he was the descendant of Saint Monk Xumi, Zhang Ruochen had never met him. He had never called him “Master” for a day, so he was used to calling him a saint monk.

The Lord of Nephilim Island looked around and nodded.

The Lord of Nephilim Island had already been locked in the Fane of Destiny when Saint Monk Xumi passed away. Naturally, he didn’t know the exact location where Saint Monk Xumi passed away.

However, the Empress of Thousand Bones had been there before and had received a large amount of Canon of Time inheritance.

The Lord of Nephilim Island waved his sleeve. In the darkness, the chaotic Spatial Vein became clear. It could be seen with the naked eye.

Then, the space in front of him suddenly collapsed like a black cloth torn off. A magnificent and dilapidated ancient fane appeared.

Although Zhang Ruochen could clearly see the ancient fane, he sensed that it was located in a very far place.

It was within sight but not within reach.

It was as if it was in a void space.

The Lord of Nephilim Island was about to step forward. Suddenly, he showed a strange look. He smiled and said, “Your friend chased me here!”

“My friend? Here?” Zhang Ruochen was surprised.

Who could find this place?
