Chapter 956 - Illusory Arts (2/2)

“Humans have never really been able to come into contact with and grasping the present.”

“What are you trying to say?” Fang Xingjian’s brows furrowed, and his palm exerted strength again. The heavenly river seemed to have contracted to a size that was 10% of what it had been before.

“Just like how it is for us now, what you see is never reality.”

As Ulpian spoke, a rumble seemed to ring out in void space. Fang Xingjian’s palm shattered, and the silver river expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a cube that was several ten kilometers long in length, width, and height.

Outside the cube, there was only a stretch of darkness. It seemed to be absolute darkness and was even more empty than the vacuum and dark areas in the universe.

The heavenly river that Ulpian had turned into was trapped within this cube that was formed from voidness.

‘So that’s how it is… Did he directly transfer me into a small world when I was performing Spatial Translocation…?

‘It’s a small world that was created in the earlier detonations—a place called the Sword Realm.’

The heavenly river crashed fiercely with an impact that could overturn mountains and rivers, shattering the land. A power that instantly broke the Alps and Himalayas erupted explosively from the heavenly rivers.

However, such terrifying powers were still unable to break through the void in the surroundings. It was as if the surrounding void could not be moved at all.

“It’s useless. This is the barrier between both worlds. Even for you, who have grasped space, won’t be able to break through it with brute force,” Fang Xingjian said calmly. “And I can slowly wear you out here.”

Ulpian did not reply to Fang Xingjian directly. Instead, he turned into the silver river, crashing into the surrounding void time and time again. Each collision was like an asteroid crashing into the small world. The continental shelves broke, and seething powers trembled to and fro, stirring up the entire heavenly river into great chaos.

The Immortality Saint looked at this scene with a grim countenance, feeling astonished at Ulpian’s powers. ‘There probably hasn’t been many people with such strong foundations as him since lands were first created.

‘However, by the looks of it, it is true that he has been trapped by Fang Xingjian’s illusory arts. Is Fang Xingjian going to win?

‘As expected, in terms of illusory arts, Fang Xingjian is still stronger.’

Simultaneously, a tsunami with a scale of over 30 kept on appearing within in the heavenly river. Even if the strongest aircraft carrier in the world was here, it would probably still be torn up into dust instantly.

As the heavenly river rammed against the void time and time again, the tsunami got increasingly stronger. Ulpian’s voice rang out once again, “I said this before. What humans can see is merely the past. Only by grasping the present will one be able to grasp the past and the future.”

At the next moment, the void and darkness in the surroundings started to shatter gradually. Many cracks appeared in the darkness, and a piercing light shot out from the cracks.

Then a loud rumble rang out! All the darkness was instantly shattered, and piercing sunlight came gushing over.

There was no longer any endless darkness or small worlds, only endless light and heat. The entire place had a high temperature of over 100,000 degrees Celsius, and every inch of space was filled up by plasma.

The location of the two people was astonishingly inside the Sun.

The Immortality Saint who was in Fang Xingjian’s body was stunned for a moment. ‘In the Sun… So that’s how it is… Everything was just an illusion from the very beginning? Fang Xingjian tapped into the Sun’s powers to fight against Ulpian’s powers.

‘Does this mean that Fang Xingjian’s illusory arts are still above Ulpian’s and that he still has the advantage?

‘If that’s the case, then Ulpian, who is being encompassed by the illusory arts, would still be unable to break through the situation.’
