Chapter 1216, Breaking Through Space Principles

Translator: Silavin

 

What the Shadow Dragon King had said was not difficult for Lu Fan to grasp.

 

Indeed, when he or his Pet Dragons unleashed Skills that contain enough power, it was possible to pierce through Space Principles and cause space to briefly collapse.

 

Directly piercing Space Principles could deliver an effect akin to dealing True Damage upon an enemy. No matter how powerful an opponent’s Defences might be, they would still sustain enormous Damage.

 

After all, the force of such a blow was no longer confined to targeting the opponent’s body. It also shattered the Principles of Space itself, and the collapse of Space Principles was a lethal existence to anything dwelling within that space.

 

It was like each person being a painting. No matter how powerful the figure within the painting might be, so long as the paper was torn, for the figure inside the painting, it was lethal Damage with no way to avoid it.

 

Previously, Lu Fan had indeed been capable of unleashing force strong enough to shatter Space Principles. For a High Level Player of his tier, going all out to achieve this was not particularly difficult.

 

However, according to what the Shadow Dragon King had said, the Bronze Dragon King’s power was no longer merely limited to piercing through Space Principles. Even Time Principles had been influenced by her as well.

 

This could roughly be understood as her speed had simply been too extreme, so fast that the time required for her to strike had fallen below time’s smallest unit.

 

And so, time had no choice but to slow itself down, in order to absorb the Bronze Dragon King’s speed.

 

The reason Lu Fan had felt the passage of time slow earlier was because of this phenomenon.

 

This reminded Lu Fan of the many superhero films he had watched back on Blue Star before Transmigrating.

 

For certain superheroes whose speed could surpass all limits, the passage of time in their eyes would indeed grow slow.

 

This kind of power and speed capable of influencing time was something Lu Fan was currently incapable of achieving.

 

In both power and speed, the Bronze Dragon King was genuinely at a level that defied all reason.

 

Lu Fan did not know what method he could possibly employ to deal with a Bronze Dragon King who could surpass time and pierce through space.

 

This sort of existence, truly, was better kept off his list of enemies.

 

Even so, Lu Fan remained deeply curious, and asked the Shadow Dragon King, “Can Senior Zhan Chui maintain this ability to shatter Space Principles and Time Principles in sustained combat? If she can, wouldn’t that make her virtually invincible?”

 

Because of Ye Sha’s presence, the Shadow Dragon King’s attitude towards Lu Fan had shifted somewhat, becoming a little more patient and amicable.

 

Seeing that Lu Fan had this question, the Shadow Dragon King explained, “Of course she can’t. The Principles of Time and Space are the mightiest of Principles in existence, far surpassing any Elemental Principles. Did you really think they could be commanded so easily? When Zhan Chui goes all out, she can briefly pierce through the Principles of Time, allowing herself a short passage through time. As for piercing the Space Principles, that is relatively easier. So long as she is serious, she can essentially shatter the void with every blow, dealing True Damage to her enemy.”

 

“I see…” Lu Fan nodded, feeling somewhat reassured.

 

Indeed, even the Bronze Dragon King, formidable as she was, could not simply toy with Time Principles as she pleased…

 

Consider that the difficulty for the Bronze Dragon King to overcome Time Principles was roughly equivalent to his own difficulty in overcoming Space Principles.

 

Under ordinary circumstances it was not easy to overcome, but the moment true intent was brought to bear and full power unleashed, it was still possible to briefly overcome them and achieve what he had witnessed just now.

 

Though unable to pierce through Time Principles at Will, the ability to shatter Space Principles at Will was already horrifying enough.

 

Even if Lu Fan were to transform into his Golden Dragon King Form, he would not wish to take a punch from the Bronze Dragon King.

 

After all, that Life Dragon King Carcass had just been hammered nearly to the point of complete annihilation. How terrifying the Bronze Dragon King’s full force punch truly was could be imagined!

 

At this point, both Life Dragon King Carcasses had been dealt with entirely by the Bronze Dragon King, and the path into the Valley of Life stood completely unobstructed.

 

Lu Fan beckoned the group forward into the Valley of Life. After all, guided by Ouyang Bai Ge’s Void Insect, the Desolate Ancient God’s True Body was without question somewhere within the Valley of Life at this moment.

 

The Bronze Dragon King’s temper had settled somewhat by now, and she followed behind Lu Fan and the others, entering the Valley of Life in turn.

 

Returning to the Valley of Life, Lu Fan discovered it was considerably more filthy and rotten than when he had last visited.

 

Putrid mud stretched in every direction, and a purplish-grey mist permeated the land and sky, lingering and refusing to disperse, thick with a foul stench.

 

Within that stench, there was even an extremely potent Poison Debuff. Ordinary Players who set foot here would find their statuses quickly deteriorating and if they did not promptly leave, they would likely simply drop dead on the spot.

 

Those present were either Dragons or Ancient Gods. Whether it was the Resistance granted by their Dragon Bloodline or the Ancient God Power cancelling out the Poison Debuff, all of them could move through this place freely without worrying that the poison would affect their Combat Power.

 

Even so, the wretched environment was still uncomforting to everyone.

 

Particularly the Flame Dragon and the Two Headed Dragon. They had not even been able to recognise, at first glance, that this was the Valley of Life where they had dwelt for tens of thousands of years.

 

Seeing their homeland reduced to such a state, both Dragons were beside themselves with fury. They longed to find the Desolate Ancient God this very instant and cut it down.

 

Seeing the two Dragons in such a volatile state, Lu Fan spoke up to caution them, “This is already the Valley of Life, which is basically the Desolate Ancient God’s lair. It has already placed Life Dragon King Carcasses at the entrance to stand guard. Inside the Valley of Life, there are definitely going to be even more powerful enemies. Do not be impulsive. Follow us steadily all the whole way through. Otherwise, you may not even reach the Desolate Ancient God before dying here.”

 

The Flame Dragon and the Two Headed Dragon understood. Even though this expedition had the two mightiest experts, the Shadow Dragon King and the Bronze Dragon King, accompanying them, they still could not afford to be overly relaxed.

 

If their emotions ran high and they blundered into the Desolate Ancient God’s trap, their own deaths would be of no great consequence, but if they dragged Lu Fan and the others into harm’s way, a hundred deaths would not be enough to atone.

 

“Brother Lu, rest assured, we will not cause trouble!” The Two Headed Dragon was first to declare. “We know perfectly well, coming here this time is to assist you all in dealing with the Desolate Ancient God, not to add to the chaos. No matter what happens, we will keep our tempers in check. We will not recklessly charge in.”

 

Lu Fan trusted the two of them well enough. Hearing the Two Headed Dragon speak this way, he did not press any further, simply nodding and saying, “Good.”

 

“Let us continue moving. The Life Dragon King Carcasses are dead, and the Desolate Ancient God definitely knows we are here.”
