Chapter 292 Time Waits For No Man (2/2)
Shen Lian felt a strong sense of pressure as the rays of moonlight hit him; it almost felt like his whole body was being slashed by a knife. As the moonlight shined on him, Shen Lian felt the sensation of a thousand knives.
This was the very first time Shen Lian encountered a person of Powang level fighting in full force and at the same time, he had a new found sense of admiration towards Bai Suhuan. This man had used his entire mind to practice and cultivate the Code of Bright Moon without any greedy thoughts and had refined his skills to a breathtaking level.
Although Shen Lian had previously experienced the space and realized the five elements of Dao, everything he has learned was not as refined as Bai Suhuan's hundred years of cultivation of the Code of Bright Moon.
He needed just one more step to attain Powang and it was not something Bai Suhuan could provide. It had to come from the five elements of Dao of the Taixu Strategy that would be really hard to find.
Shen Lian's Qi kept rising; under the attack of the moonlight, he finally displayed what he had learned for his entire life.
Countless of secret methods came together to form the fundamentals of the five elements of the Qi of essence that was constantly evolving to form endless layers.
Every offensive tactic came in handy as it builds up the Taixu Strategy's state of Interpromotion and Interrestraint of the five elements. He could apply the Piercing Flying Punches, the Mark of Mountains and Rivers, Shapeless Sword Aura, Beaming Red Flame, as well as many other different techniques simultaneously to engulf the moonlight.
This was the ultimate battle between the art of spells - Bai Suhuan's extremely refined Code of Bright Moon versus Shen Lian's art of million techniques at will.
The moonlight gradually dimmed as they collide each other for countless times; Shen Lian slowly gained the upper hand.

Up to this stage, Bai Suhuan realized that Shen Lian was a class above him. Even if he had yet to see Shen Lian's true form, he knew that Shen Lian was only millimeters away from achieving Powang to become a Primordial Spirit and obtain immortality. It was totally possible and absolutely not far beyond reach for Shen Lian.
He had a sense of hatred, why was God so unfair as some people like Ziling and Shen Lian had so much potential. To them, one year of cultivation was equivalent to other people's ten years of hard work. Why was it that he put in so much effort in cultivating, cut off all desires, did not take in any disciples and yet, had to face such a tragic ending.
All these hatreds fuelled his determination to fight Shen Lian.
He held the incantation as a boundless stream of breath appeared and aimed towards Shen Lian.
This incantation was known as 'Time Waits for No Man' and it was second to the Ultimate Knife of Taiyin from the Code of the Bright Moon. The Ultimate Knife of Taiyin required immortality in order to cultivate it. In other words, it was the one and only technique that Bai Suhuan had yet to master.
Time Waits for No Man was the ultimate abstruse technique of the Code of Bright Moon and it actually involved time travel.
Shen Lian had briefly read about Time Wait for No Man at the Taiwei Pavillion. He had to experience it in order to tell how powerful it was.
True warriors die in the field.
Time Waits for No Man was not an offensive tactic but a Dao method that weakens the opponent. No matter how strong the opponent's method was, it would weaken over time.
In other words, no matter how strong one's methods were, under the influence of Time Waits for No Man, even the most earth-shattering power would become an ordinary force.
Bai Suhuan's method was effective in reducing the power of Shen Lian's mixed technique.
However, Bai Suhuan too, took a toll on it as his expression turned dull. The moon has lost its power and moonlight too has lost its fieriness.
Shen Lian, on the other hand, looked relaxed and composed. After all, Bai Suhuan was a Powang expert with hundreds of years of experience. It would not make sense to defeat him so effortlessly.
His lips curved slightly, giving a light smile as he released the ray of light and pierce through the void. Every methods and spell that he had learned was played out and it came out more and more affluently.
