A gentle evening breeze blew over the battlefield. Numerous stars shined over the horizon as well as over the entirety of the Dragon-Tiger Mountain. Among the shiniest was the Conqueror Star, which used to be an immortal’s star in ancient times.
The third move of the Conqueror’s Finger was called ‘Third Finger – Shattering Space and Time’, which could puncture through time and space with a finger strike.
Qingfeng Li channeled the chant of the technique, exuding emerald lights, which shaped a lot of talisman scriptures.
These were the seal scriptures of the Conqueror’s Finger, forming a sphere shaped exactly like the Conqueror Star in the sky.
The star was in the depths of outer space, shining brilliant light dozens of light years away.
It would take forever to get there via space shuttles; self-cultivators would never be able to reach the Conqueror Star unless they were able to reach the immortal level.
But at this moment, an emerald light shone from the Conqueror Star over Qingfeng Li’s body and was taken in by him.
Qingfeng Li bathed in the lights, with all the stars shining for him.
The surrounding self-cultivators were all amazed by this scene, since it was their first time seeing this.
In the legends from the ancient era, there once were some incredibly powerful saints that were bathed in star lights. It only happened once in a few millenniums, but each time, they would become the conqueror of Earth and an overlord of the self-cultivators’ world.
Nicholas was deeply shocked, realizing Qingfeng Li was practicing some profound techniques which could absorb the star lights from the universe.
The starlight was no normal energy. The star energy was much purer and more powerful than vital essence.
“Qingfeng Li, you want to practice new techniques now? See how I’ll beat you.” Nicholas smiled coldly and smashed his giant palm infused with vital essence at Qingfeng, intending to shatter the starlight around him.
Hong-Long!
But upon touching Qingfeng Li, Nicholas was bounced back by the star lights. He was knocked away by a few dozens of meters, with his palm shocked numb.
The western self-cultivators were startled seeing their leader Nicholas at a disadvantage.
“What’s happening? The Sky God’s Emissary is in the Ninth Level of the Spirit Emperor Realm. Why can’t he break the starlight?”
“I just saw that he was defeated by Qingfeng Li. But Nicholas can’t even break the thin layer of starlight now. How could it be?”
“Are you blind? Don’t you see the starlight that comes from the Conqueror Star? It was a superstar from the ancient era. Some saints used to live there.”
“No wonder Qingfeng Li is powerful enough to become the lord of the eastern self-cultivation world.”
Over ten thousand Western self-cultivators discussed with concerns about their leader’s ability to win the fight.
After all, Qingfeng Li’s techniques were too powerful, guiding the starlight to shroud and empower him.
Of course, Nicholas wouldn’t let Qingfeng Li stay there cultivating. He kept swinging his palm and smashing at Qingfeng Li.
After his palm and fist techniques failed, Nicholas took out the Sky God’s Spear and pierced toward Qingfeng Li.
But even the Sky God’s Spear couldn’t harm Qingfeng Li. He was surrounded by a formless barrier of starlight, which protected him from any harm.
Others might not know why Qingfeng Li was this powerful, but he knew the reason. His father was the Conqueror, the saint of the Celestial-Conqueror Sect. That was why he could absorb the starlight energy from the Conqueror Star.
Qingfeng Li didn’t take this energy into his dantian, rather he was using it to practice the Conqueror’s Finger.
He had only learned the first two moves of the Conqueror’s Finger. The first move was called One Finger Splits All and the second one was called Second Finger Shocking Heart. He was practicing the third technique at this moment, which was called Third Finger Ceasing Time.
Though Qingfeng Li was extremely powerful, he didn’t master the techniques of Conqueror’s Finger very well.
That was because of his lack of practicing. He seldom practiced under the night sky, and the Conqueror Star was hidden until this moment.
The Conqueror Star only showed up irregularly every one or two months and hid in the depths of outer space for the rest of the time.
This was because it was a superstar of the Grand Worlds, one of the three thousand prime stars among the billions.
Qingfeng Li bathed in the starlight, absorbing the energy from the Conqueror Star into his body.
The starlight ran in his meridians, creating giant sounds inside his veins, like a tempestuous river.
Qingfeng Li exuded powerful energy all over his body. It was the power from the starlight of the Conqueror Star.
He deposited this energy into his dantian, then spread the mystic and profound power through his body.
One must say, the third technique of the Conqueror’s Finger was very hard to comprehend, because it involved time.
There were two types of powers that were the most difficult to understand in this universe. One was time, and the other was space. Time involved every second, every minute, hour, day, month, and year, relating to the four seasons, life, and death.
Space involved the sky and the earth, the land and the ocean, from two dimensions to four dimensions, and was implicated in everything within the entire universe.
Qingfeng Li had learned some knowledge of space and talisman scriptures, but this was the first time he got in touch with time knowledge.
It was obviously more difficult to comprehend than other knowledge; Qingfeng Li was well-aware of this.
But he had keen perception and was very clever. He had already seen through the law of the time, and vaguely understood the practice method of the third technique of the Conqueror’s Finger.
The trick was to put the opponent in a paralleled space and then stop the time. Time and space were all relative to each other with the frame of reference. He could make the opponent slower by being faster himself.
If Qingfeng Li wanted to cease Nicholas’s actions, he must be much faster than the latter. He could break through the restriction of time and space when he was faster than the other’s reflexes.
