<h4>Chapter 1168: Through the mes</h4>
Fang Yi''s spear thrust into the zing mes. The Star Devourer had looked massive to begin with, almost half the size of a small world on its own, but it was only when he pushed through the mes did he discover whaty within.
Its internal space wasrger than its external, and it was almost asrge as a superior world from within.
Advancing through the mes, through the heart of a superior world, was an arduous task. By the time the spear was almost about to touch the petals, they suddenly moved aside, so quickly they were somewhere else in the blink of an eye.
mes were chasing Fang Yi from behind, and he knew that he wouldn''t be able to remain in the Star Devourer''s body for long. Otherwise, he would quickly burn to a crisp.
Fang Yi didn''t hesitate. He headed straight through the mes on the other side as the mes behind him pounced on him like demons.
"[Born of Lightning, Swallowed by the Wind]!" As Fang Yi shouted, his spear traced a half-moon in the air, surrounded by an aura of time. Light and shadow shed by its tip, just like the wind and lightning that made up the core of Fang Yi''s techniques. The attack consisted of two different types of energy, one to speed up time, and the other to elerate decay.
The two disparate sources of energy revolved around the spear, spawning a ck hole in the area and turning the surroundings gray. Everything was frozen in time for a moment—the blowing wind, the scintiting lightning, the scorching me. The only color in the space came from Fang Yi and his crackling spear.
Of course, neither Zhang Lie nor the king of chaos were affected by the stopped time, either.
.
Zhang Lie was temporarily in a pale gray state. His consciousness was alert and unaffected by the time stop; he watched Fang Yi''s actions quietly.
If he wanted to, he would likely be able to break out of the temporal stasis, but Zhang Lie would never do so. Disrupting Fang Yi''s skill now would break his concentration and might even lose him the match.
Meanwhile, the king of chaos seemedpletely unaffected, as though he were immune to temporal shifts or locks.
The Star Devourer''s mes were moments away from invading the gray world of stasis. Fang Yi would only be able to halt time for a few moments longer. He whirled around and thrust his spear out to defend against the mes chasing after him. The next moment, the gray world copsed.
With Fang Yi at the center, cracks propagated throughout the world of stopped time. The world unfroze with the sound of ss shattering.
Fang Yi thrust forward with his spear as the Star Devourer''s mes exploded into a brilliant burst of light throughout the air. Fang Yi defended with his spear.
"[Stormwind Kick]!" His leg, crackling with lightning, sent multiple fireballs flying.
The fire suffused the entirety of the space. Fang Yi was almost overwhelmed and temporarily suppressed.
The mes manifested in the form of two gigantic palms that closed in on Fang Yi from the left and from the right.
"[Wheel of Time]!" Fang Yi''s spear took on the aspects of time and age. Temporal winds buffeted the spear, and a mysterious light began to circle the spear like lightning.
A wheel of light appeared behind Fang Yi, taking on the form of a clock.
Fang Yi thrust his spear forward so quickly it left dozens of afterimages in all directions. He kicked at one palm, then used the momentum to somersault in the air to avoid the other.
A second wheel of time manifested by his back, elerating him. Heunched his spear, crackling with wind and lightning, with incredible force. It sent wind howling and lightning shing through the sky.
It left thousands of artificial images behind as a third wheel of time appeared, countering the disaster of fire that threatened to envelop him.
Wind and lightning surged around his spear in quantities farrger than seemed possible. Fang Yibined that energy with temporal energy, causing the light around his spear to sh a dazzling array of colors, blue and ck and purple, as though he had cracked open a tunnel through time.
Light wrapped around the spear. Temporal energy that sped up time and age swirled around it, like wind and lightning.
"[Born of Lightning, Swallowed by the Wind], [Tiger''s Howl, Dragon''s Bellow], [Heaven''s Judgment]!" Fang Yi broke through the constraints of time and returned to the frozen world of gray, with him the only spot of color within.
The wheels of time that spawned around Fang Yi''s back weren''t just to strengthen his own abilities, but were a necessary prerequisite for unleashing this skill.
Wind and stormbined and crackled at the tip of Fang Yi''s spear, imbuing it with sharpness and prating strength beyond measure. The Star Devourer''s mes were sucked into the wind that revolved around him, turning them into ming meteors.
Fang Yipressed that energy again and again, until even the space around the spear started getting sucked in. The tip of the spear punched through space as though it were nothing more than paper.
Even the eighteenthyer of space was insufficient to suppress Fang Yi''s overwhelming strength.
Fang Yi''s maniption of spatial force was no subtle affair—he used strength, brute strength, topel the space around him into motion.
This might have been difficult for others to achieve, but Fang Yi was perfectly capable of such a feat. In the face of brute strength, all else paled inparison.
Thebination of elemental, temporal, and spatial energy at the tip of the spear multiplied the strength of Fang Yi''s attack beyond what should have been possible.
Hebined [Born of Lightning, Swallowed by the Wind], [Tiger''s Howl, Dragon''s Bellow], and [Heaven''s Judgment]—elements, time, and space.
All these sources of energy were stacked together, like buff after buff. Even the eighteenthyer of space was meaningless against such strength.
A dragon of purple lightning and tiger of green wind, shielded by a barrier of time and shrouded by ck spatial energy, slowly began to manifest. Storm winds were sucked into the mix.
Wind and stormbined with space and time, a whole newbination. A spatial rift began to form where Fang Yi was standing…
