270: Chapter 131 Armillary Sphere Shadow (2/3) 270: Chapter 131 Armillary Sphere Shadow (2/3) At the mont An Jing made up his mind, the swirl of ti that resembled a clock face in the center of his Divine Sea began speeding up faster and faster until the vortex vanished, turning into a funnel that led straight to the core of his Soul and Spirit.
But this was just the beginning.
Soon, the continuously rotating vortex began to coalesce, bringing together his Soul and Spirit, Inner Breath, Spirit Qi, and even a thread of the Power of Heavenly Destiny Seven Fiends, culminating in a vague shadow of an Armillary Sphere at the core of his Soul and Spirit.
“It’s done!” An Jing knew at that mont that he had crossed the most difficult hurdle.
As Spirit Qi and the power of Soul and Spirit continued to pour in, the shadow beca clearer and began to revolve as well.
Humm.
When the Armillary Sphere was actualized, An Jing briefly exited the “Heavenly Timing” state.
Then, the next instant.
As Inner Breath and Spirit Qi circulated within his body and poured into the slots, the Sphere began to rotate, and he entered the accelerated thought state of Heavenly Timing once again!
An Jing’s Divine Sea.
In what was originally the formless center of his Soul and Spirit, an Armillary Sphere appeared, situated right in the middle, slowly transforming the entire Purple Mansion Divine Sea into an image reminiscent of a starry sky Formation Map.
Even the broken sword, ford by the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit, joyously transford into a grand star, anchoring itself in the Taibai Star Position, rotating along with the turn of the Armillary Sphere.
Both Emperor’s Blood and Heavenly Profound True Talisman, though reluctant at first, were forced to follow the sword’s lead and rotate along.
Reality.
An Jing stood up and looked around.
The doubled thought speed made what was usually a swift action of standing seem exceedingly slow; yet the slowness he felt did not match the energy consumption his body was experiencing.
This odd discrepancy intrigued him.
Whooo…
The sound of the wind outside the window also slowed down, like a song being stretched out.
An Jing rotated his eyeballs, and the flickering of the candlelight hanging in front of his desk also beca slow, as if it was almost coming to a standstill.
“Interesting…”
An Jing spoke, his voice coming out drawn-out and slow.
The clear vibration of his vocal cords and the trembling sound even made him aware that his accent was not quite standard, carrying a Northern Border intonation, even when he wasn’t mimicking the speech of the people of Dust Li.
Ha ha, he laughed softly and raised his hand, intending to touch his throat—his hand moved just as slowly…
unless he activated the explosive state of the Imperial Heaven and Houtu thod.
With Spirit Qi rapidly circulating within him, An Jing felt the sluggishness in his body dissipate.
Now, he could move at a ‘normal’ pace, as if the whole world had slowed down.
Walking to the door, opening it, An Jing stepped into the courtyard of the Siheyuan.
If soone saw him, in their eyes, An Jing would appear like a specter, moving through the courtyard with fluidity that was too smooth, almost as if on fast forward.
An Jing realized that his physical quality had not improved too much; after all, Grasping Heavenly Mont was a Divine Abnormality of the Soul and Spirit, which made his soul incredibly resolute, and his physical strength only increased a bit due to the unity of Body and Spirit.
But!
Under the Heavenly Timing state, his control over his body, and the precision of its operations, had all improved significantly!
With the sa physical quality, his combat abilities had once again undergone a qualitative improvent!
Just accelerated thinking alone would be manageable, but with the body also accelerated, even An Jing, despite the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, could not endure for long.
“Ten monts.”
An Jing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the sounds of the wind and the light of the fire returned to normal.
The state of Heavenly Timing had ended, “Ten monts are the absolute limit of my full strength.”
“If it exceeds ten monts, even if I can continue to maintain the state of Heavenly Timing for a while, I won’t be able to control the precision of the strength.
For those true masters, it would just be an unnecessary flaw.”
Ten monts, not long but also not short.
In a full-force Martial Arts duel, even a single mont could be enough to determine life and death.
In fact, ten monts were nearly the limit for soone in the Inner Strength realm.
Even for a Martial Artist specializing in Body Refinent with naturally abundant Inner Breath, fortified by four kinds of Divine Abnormality, the maximum duration would be around ten or so monts.
If one only had the Grasping Heavenly Mont skill, being able to maintain acceleration for a few monts would already be considered an extraordinary talent.
But An Jing could maintain it for ten monts the very first ti, not only because he too was exceptionally talented, but also because of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban.
At this mont, An Jing had an epiphany, “My Martial Arts Divine Abnormality could focus on the Internal Clan like my master!
And the Immortal Path could specialize in Body Refinent!”
“This is a bit like going against the Heavenly Gang,” Subdue Evil Sword Spirit comnted, “But considering you are one of the Seven Fiends, it’s not unacceptable.”
“This is the Inner Strength realm…”
An Jing slowly raised his right hand, his fingers coming together, palm slightly retracted, and a crimson firelight manifested in his palm.
It danced and burned, confined to that spot within his palm, continuously contracting from the initial flickering fire into a molten, boiling mass of Fiend Fla.
Mars Blood Fiend.
Without using a Divine Skill, An Jing used to rely on the technique of Coalescing Qi into Soldiers to harness Blood Fiend.
Now, he could control Blood Fiend at will, using it to better strengthen his body and launch attacks, just like Lu Jin did to block the Sword Box, and like the Wine Fla Demon did to cast fire and water at will.
An Jing waved his hand, and the strand of Mars Blood Fiend shot out like an arrow, slamming into a pine tree in the courtyard.
In just a mont, the invisible fla burnt out all life from within, and as An Jing approached to examine it, all the evergreen needles of the pine turned yellow and drooped, still hanging on the branches, but it was evident that the tree was dead.
“In terms of purely killing living beings, Taibai Fiend Qi is not as powerful as Blood Fiend,” An Jing reflected.
After reaching the Inner Strength realm, he felt a new power surging within him, which was the energy of the Spiritual Fiend Qi born from the union of his Fate Pattern force and Inner Breath.
Unlike Qi Refinent in the Immortal Path, as long as Martial Artists with a Fate Pattern followed it, their Fate Pattern power could rge with their Inner Breath to form Spirit Qi.
As long as the Fate Pattern remained active, they could continuously gather surrounding Spirit Qi, refining it into unique Mysterious True Evil Spirits, allowing Martial Artists to cultivate without needing to find corresponding Spirit Vein nodes.
This was the basis for Martial Artists’ existence in the world: they really could cultivate among people, rather than being trapped in remote, uninhabited mountains and forests for the sake of Qi Refinent.
Of course, if An Jing found a special Blood Fiend and Fla Fiend Earth Vein, his cultivation speed during seclusion there would definitely be faster.
This was also why Da Chen only built large cities on Earth Pulse Nodes.
But in terms of adapting to the environnt, Fate Pattern Martial Artists were indeed far superior to Qi Refinent cultivators.
What made An Jing particularly special was his Heavenly Mandate, and he had already awakened two stars.
After pondering for a mont, An Jing raised his other hand — and this ti, the Spirit Qi in his hand was no longer the aggressive and murderous Blood Fiend, but the ice-cold and decisive Taibai Fiend Qi.
One hand fla, one hand tal…
An Jing could indeed control two different kinds of Fiend Qi simultaneously!
