Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 769 - 426: Clearing Tactics! When the Enemy Advances, I Retreat; When the Enemy Pauses, I Harass; When the Enemy Tires, I Attack; When the Enemy Retreats, I Pursue (Part 2)
Thus, allowing his Space Dao Embryo to progress further!
Perhaps, this is the key for him to clear the Fifth Floor of the Eternal Tower!
"Indeed, joining the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance was an extremely correct choice. If I had stayed in the outer circle, even if I had obtained the 'Great Void Heart Scripture', comprehending it would probably take hundreds or even thousands of years."
"Now, with Luo Venerable's guidance and the time flow of the Eternal Tower, before reaching the Forget Realm, my cultivation in the Star Ruins Realm should be smooth sailing."
"The comprehension of the Space Dao should temporarily halt here."
Feeling himself hitting another bottleneck, Jiang Shu actively stopped his comprehension. In his mind, various Great Dao Embryos were constantly interweaving.
With a flip of his palm, a Blood Crystal appeared.
Fusion!
Jiang Shu closed his eyes, sensing the enhancement brought by the Blood Crystal. He could feel fragments of various Blood Essence Dao Prototypes revolving around the Blood Essence Dao Prototype.
As the Blood Crystal continuously fused, these fragments became more abundant, merging into the Blood Essence Dao Prototype.
One month... Three months...
Three years... Six years...
In the Fourth Floor of the Eternal Tower, where the time flow is sixteen to one, Jiang Shu had been cultivating for six years, while only less than five months passed in the outside world.
During these five months, through numerous sparring sessions, Yuan Tai gradually understood some issues with himself, and finally, during his third encounter with the Third Floor clone, he successfully elevated his combat consciousness, defeating the clone that had twenty percent more power than him.
He later surpassed other super geniuses.
In five months, two more inner circle geniuses passed the fourth round.
In this span of five months, every genius grew and progressed.
The three supreme geniuses in the Business Association, even though they only cleared the Third Floor, benefited from its eight-to-one time flow, allowing them three full years of cultivation.
Their understanding of the Original Law also advanced a step.
In five months, Jiang Shu's achievements began to spread from the 103rd base to other bases.
Clearing the Fourth Floor would count as a true genius even within the Inner Ring of Star Ruins Realm.
And at this time, completely unaware of the outside changes, Jiang Shu rose from the Fourth Floor and stepped into the Fifth Floor.
During his comprehension and cultivation on the Fourth Floor, he deliberately did not integrate some of the law fragments into the Great Dao Embryo, allowing them to disperse, just waiting to see if this time he could clear the Fifth Floor.
"Space Dao Embryo... Power Dao Primordial Form..."
Jiang Shu murmured as he saw the clone taking shape, striking decisively.
His 365 acupoints trembled, the One Power Innate Chaotic Qi spiraled upward, forming a massive axe handle in his palm.
Jiang Shu stood proudly in the cosmos, his body manifesting the Law of Heaven and Earth. The formidable Blood Essence Dao Prototype interwove beyond his body, and with great power, the axe blade came crashing down.
Panwu Heaven Opening Axe!
On the Fourth Floor, Jiang Shu didn't deliberately comprehend the "Panwu Great Strength Dao Book", but it must be noted that among the many Great Daos, space is king, and time is revered.
While continuously comprehending the Space Dao, Jiang Shu's understanding of the Great Dao advanced a step further, essentially enhancing his comprehension abilities. When it came to comprehending the Power Dao, it was twice the result with half the effort.
Jiang Shu struck with unparalleled power, intending to ascertain right away just how exaggerated the combat power of the Fifth Floor was.
The last time, the Fifth Floor clone had crushed him with no room for resistance.
This time, he wanted to see if, after his dedicated cultivation, Blood Crystal fusion, and guidance from Luo Venerable, he could clear the Fifth Floor!
"Boom!"
The space shook, the clone's fist light dazzling, Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist.
Various Great Dao Embryos interwove within, with a terrifying aura, and a forty percent power increase. This punch's force even subtly suppressed the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe.
The formidable power of the Great Dao Embryos surged like a massive wave toward Jiang Shu.
The terrifying shockwave caused a nearby planet to tremble, with mountains on the planet collapsing.
"Forty percent power... Whew... I really don't know how those geniuses manage to pass the Sixth Floor."
Even with preparation, Jiang Shu was startled by the Fifth Floor clone's punch, slipping away.
Though unable to gain an upper hand in confrontation, simply enduring the successive onslaughts from the Fifth Floor clone would be a victory!
The key to defeating the clone lay in whether the cultivation genius could breakthrough during the battle on this floor!
The Undying Spring Eye, which Jiang Shu carried with him, quickly healed his injuries.
The Kunpeng Demon Wings appeared at the critical moment, swiftly carrying Jiang Shu out of the most dangerous offensive range.
Time after time of fleeing, time and again needle-threading cultivation.
Every instant that passed was incredibly tough.
Yet every instant seemed to bring new progress!
The feeling of progress that came from arduous cultivation in the Fourth Floor was imperceptible.
The notes on Space Law from Luo Venerable's guidance were further comprehended by Jiang Shu.
Through the Blood Essence Dao Prototype, he also saw new directions for the Power Dao Primordial Form.
Jiang Shu's wielding of the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe became increasingly adept. Various divine skills reached the pinnacle in these successive clashes.
His form occasionally displayed the Law of Heaven and Earth.
Sometimes transforming into a dragon shape, roaring amidst thunder.
Sometimes with earth-shattering power, seemingly able to split the heavens.
Sometimes breaking open space, traversing the void, evading the clone's attacks with a higher understanding of space.
Jiang Shu's strength ushered in a new transformation during the battle.
From initially being at a disadvantage to repeatedly exchanging blows.
One month!
Three months!
A year!
Jiang Shu controlled the shifts in his Primordial Power and spiritual power, escaping immediately whenever lacking, replenishing through various elixirs or treasures.
Even though by doing so, the clone would also instantly replenish.
But he could still improve himself through the continuous battles.
The clone, after all, was just a clone, replicating only the state when he entered the Fifth Floor.
On a lifeless planet, Jiang Shu was gravely injured. Even with the combined restorative effects of the Undying Spring Eye and the Immortal Acupoint Technique, he couldn't swiftly recover his full status.
He swallowed elixir after elixir.
In the distance, the clone was also recuperating; its injuries were no lighter than Jiang Shu's!
"Just one more step... I need to drag it out a bit longer, hopefully settling this within two years. The Ancient Demon Sect relics, I should revisit those as well."
"Though those old monsters lack strength, their information on the relics was tremendously helpful, saving me a lot of exploration time and energy. Besides the Blood Mist Deserted Mountain and Soul-shaking Mountain, there are several other places beneficial to me. Once I clear the Fifth Floor, I should go back and seize any remaining opportunities."
"It's just a pity that the depths of the relics are so perilous. Even though I now have few rivals in the Nirvana Realm, I still can't venture too deep and will have to leave it for the future."
Taking a deep breath, he merely restored his state to thirty percent.
Jiang Shu's figure darted, and the Panwu Heaven Opening Axe came crashing down in his hand.
In the Eternal Tower's battle.
Beyond power and realm advancements, tactics are also crucial.
Counter the advance by retreating; disrupt when the enemy halts; strike when the enemy is weary; pursue when the enemy withdraws!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
On the earthy-yellow planet, two figures battled fiercely, shaking the stars, until Jiang Shu's internal Primordial Power and spiritual power depleted to ten percent again, urging him to swiftly exit the battlefield and consume elixirs.
Kunpeng Demon Wings manifested behind him, retreating while comprehending the Space and Devouring Dao Embryos within the Kunpeng Demon Wings.
The bottleneck he once felt finally began to loosen during this period of combat.
Jiang Shu turned back, swallowed an elixir, and his eyes shone brilliantly.
