Chapter 526: Chapter 527: 3 Years Later
“Ye Hua, I’m very pleased with your recent hard work. Your progress is impressive, and I believe it won’t be long before you advance to the World King level,”
His voice sounded like the grating of tal, extrely harsh to the ear.
Ye Hua raised his head, looking at his father, the chanical World King.
The chanical World King only had one son, Ye Hua, who he fathered over eighty years ago. In his quest to reach the ultimate in battle prowess, the chanical World King had abandoned his original body and replaced it with a chanical one.
At first, it was only an ultimate-quality Artifact tal fist, but when he found the tal fist very useful, he replaced both his hands with high-quality Artifacts.
Later, unsatisfied with the lethality of his feet, he replaced them with tal Artifact replacents.
Not long after, feeling that his body’s protective defenses were lacking, he began a major transformation. His skeleton, veins, skin, and internals were all replaced with the best materials.
Finally, even his teeth and skull were replaced. Now, only his brain, Spiritual Consciousness Sea, and Dantian were truly his; the rest of him was machine.
As a result, he even lost his ability to reproduce, and so Ye Hua remained his only child.
However, due to his superior physical form, he surpassed most other World Kings to rank among the powerful ones.
His body was practically a chanical construct, and while he looked human on the outside, he was essentially a robot with only a brain consciousness.
Although he ranks among the powerful ones as a World King, he realized that while this imposing body afforded him imnse combat power, it also lost him the opportunity to continue advancing.
Hence, the chanical World King poured all his energy into Ye Hua, giving him the best training and resources from a young age.
If a World King-level expert devoted all effort to a single person, it would be extrely terrifying. No other World Kings could do this, for in the vast universe, each World King has a long life, many wives, and a large family.
They had so many sons they could hardly rember them all. Only the ones who stood out were worth their attention. The rest of their sons weren’t much different from ordinary children.
As for grandchildren and great-grandchildren, they were lucky if they could rember their nas. Once a family had many branches, it could easily comprise tens or hundreds of thousands of people, given their long lives.
In this context, Ye Hua was extraordinarily lucky!
Ye Hua looked respectfully at the chanical World King. “Father, it’s only right that I work hard. Otherwise, I would be letting your efforts go to waste.”
The chanical World King laughed, his voice grating. “Hehe! Don’t try to flatter . I know all about you. Isn’t it just that you’re feeling pressured by your romantic rival and sensed a crisis? But I don’t necessarily think this is a bad thing. Under my care, you’ve never faced any setbacks from a young age. Although you’re smart, you lack experience. This is not good for your growth.”
“Yes, Father. This Lin Zhen… is putting a lot of pressure on . I find him incredibly threatening. I an, he hasn’t even reached the Black Hole Device yet, but his combat power is already near the Star System Middle Stage. Deep down, I’m sowhat intimidated by him… I’m afraid that if he breaks through this ti, he’ll certainly co back for his revenge.”
The chanical World King nodded. “This Lin Zhen you speak of is indeed impressive. He must have so secret, otherwise it would be impossible for a Constant Star Stage to challenge a Star System Stage, let alone the middle stage.”
“But you must not be overly self-deprecating. You are only eighty years old, yet you’ve already reached the Tier Nine Star System. Under my guidance, you definitely have a chance to advance to the World King level before you turn one hundred. This would be unprecedented in the history of our Fire Kirin family.”
“As for Lin Zhen, consider him your first real opponent. You had feelings for Feng Qingluan, but Lin Zhen defeated you in that aspect, which left a shadow in your heart. If you want to resolve this, you must defeat Lin Zhen in future battles. Then, I’m sure you’ll soar to new heights.”
Ye Hua nodded. “Yes, Father, I feel that whether I can advance to the Star Domain Realm or not depends on Lin Zhen. I have a strong desire to kill him in my heart. But I don’t know if he can survive this bout with the Insect Clan?”
“If you feel like doing it, then do it. If he can’t get past the Insect Clan, then he isn’t worthy of being your opponent. Always rember, you have your father with you. As my only son, there is no one in the entire Empire that your father wouldn’t dare to provoke. This is your advantage, and you should be aware of it!”
Ye Hua nodded, feeling his heart pulse with strength. With a father like this, he need not fear anyone!
It had almost been four years since he entered the Suspended Island.
Lin Zhen hadn’t expected comprehending the Ti Law to be so challenging.
This was particularly noticeable when he entered the ninth row. Lin Zhen experienced firsthand the difficulty of comprehending the Ti Law.
Ti acceleration, Ti Deceleration, Ti Stillness, and Ti Retrogradation were the four stages of the Ti Law.
Previously, Lin Zhen had seen a fair number of people passing the Ti Law Heaven Stele, leading him to think initially that it wasn’t particularly difficult. However, upon reaching the ninth row, Lin Zhen understood the reality.
Those who had passed within a year definitely hadn’t grasped the true essence of Ti Stillness!
To harness Ti Stillness, one first needed to comprehend the essence of Ti Deceleration by a hundredfold!
In order to understand Ti Deceleration by a hundredfold, one first needs to understand Ti Acceleration by a hundredfold. Without eting these preliminary conditions, you can still ascend to the tenth row, but the Ti Stillness you’d command wouldn’t be truly still, but a super slow-motion effect that is less than a hundredfold decelerated ti.
When a second of ti stretches to a minute, human movents approach a standstill. It’s like watching a movie in slow motion, eight tis slower, sixteen tis slower; it’s super slow.
But sixty to seventy tis, even eighty to ninety tis slower, would bring you almost to a standstill.
In such a situation, nimble individuals could easily catch bullets, and the rest of the environnt would be almost at a standstill.
However, this is still a deceleration of ti, not a true standstill.
Once you do this, you will never have the possibility to comprehend standstill, aning, you won’t be able to make ti flow backwards later.
It could be said that the successes of predecessors were mostly false. To truly master ti standstill is undoubtedly not sothing that can be achieved in a year or two of pondering.
Lin Zhen entered the ninth row in ten months, but after two years, he was still in the ninth row.
He even forgot about night and day, pouring all his body and mind into understanding the Ti Law. Accelerating ti a hundred tis is not an easy task, and to et this goal, Lin Zhen spent a year and a half!
This is under the condition of being aided by the Ti Stone, without it, this goal would probably take eight or ten years to complete.
It took Lin Zhen a solid year and a half to achieve this goal.
To accelerate and decelerate ti, you need the support of Star Power. Star Power is like the engine of a Martial Artist, the source of all ans.
Currently, Lin Zhen’s Star Power level is barely able to achieve a hundredfold acceleration in a small space. This is, of course, a severely energy-draining skill. A hundredfold acceleration requires the support of a thousand Star Power, so it can’t be used lightly unless it’s a critical mont.
The comprehension of ti deceleration consud another year and a half. rely fully understanding the hundredfold deceleration did not an he could easily execute it.
Compared with ti acceleration, the Star Power consumption of deceleration is double. Lin Zhen’s current strength is not even enough to decelerate ti a hundredfold. After several years of ascetic practice, his Star Power has improved, reaching one thousand five hundred, but it can only slow ti down seventy-fivefold at most.
A hundredfold deceleration would consu two thousand Star Power at once!
In regular battles, achieving a twenty to thirty tis deceleration is already very useful.
Having comprehended the essence of hundredfold acceleration and hundredfold deceleration, Lin Zhen’s understanding of ti standstill has finally reached a flawless achievent.
“I understand!”
Lin Zhen gently closed his eyes.
“The so-called standstill of ti is to accelerate ti a hundredfold first and then suddenly decelerate, by one hundred and onefold!”
“After applying these two laws one after another, a short-term force field is ford within your domain of Star Power, specifically within your sphere of influence. Since the deceleration effect is one more ti than acceleration, ti flow ceases, creating a field of standstill.”
“Within this range, ti is at a standstill!”
“So having mastered a hundredfold deceleration is not enough, you need to master one hundred and onefold!”
Lin Zhen showed a relieved smile. He finally understood. Now, he had two things to do: one was to continue pondering to comprehend the essence of one hundred and onefold deceleration; the other was to ensure his Star Power was at least sufficient.
To stop ti, you must first accelerate and then decelerate, requiring a Martial Artist’s Star Power level to at least reach three thousand.
And three thousand is just enough, after using ti standstill, there wouldn’t be enough power left to unleash other deadly moves.
So, it must at least be over three thousand to make this move effective.
Lin Zhen’s current Star Power level is one thousand five hundred and one, and he needs to double it.
Leaving the stone pillar of the ninth row, Lin Zhen ascended the final pillar.
He would stand here to comprehend the one hundred and onefold ti acceleration, and try to make further breakthroughs to increase his Star Power nature.
As for his realm, it has already reached the Peak of Level Nine at the Constant Star stage; there is hardly any room for improvent. Dark Star is still in the middle phase of the sozoic Era, even if it enters the late phase, it won’t give him three thousand Star Power.
The only way is to try breaking through to the Black Hole Stage!
Black Hole Stage is a major realm leap, and only this could allow Lin Zhen’s Star Power to have a significant increase. Lin Zhen has always been reluctant to attempt the breakthrough because he felt his strength was insufficient.
However, now, Lin Zhen feels it’s about ti to give it a shot.
