Explosions continue endlessly.
Such a scene is grand and magnificent.
In the next instant, Champa, wrapped in dense God of Destruction power, breaks through the flames of the explosion and rushes toward Lin Chuan.
That heavy punch condensed with fierce destructive power swings viciously toward Lin Chuan.
The sudden attack happens in but a fleeting moment.
Yet in the eyes of certain beings, this fleeting moment is still extremely long.
Feeling the terrifying power of this strike, Lin Chuan grins as the power of Super Five surges.
Flames of battle intent ignite in his eyes, gathering strength as he unleashes a destructive strike!
'Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!'
The moment their fists collide, the God of Destruction Realm trembles.
Tenth dimension level · Gou unit.
Without the reinforcement of angel power, this small world would have already shattered.
The shockwaves surge, dispersing all smoke and flames as spatial ripples continue.
Lin Chuan and Champa are both pushed back by the impact.
Feeling the pain in his fist, Lin Chuan only feels his blood boiling, his entire body filled with endless strength.
This is completely different from fighting Champa with full strength before.
The body of Super Saiyan Fifth Stage is too powerful. If it were the battle two years ago, how could it only be a slight pain?
Continuing the battle, his strength keeps increasing through combat.
It is not that his base is increasing, but that the power of Super Saiyan Fifth Stage is gradually being unleashed, deepening his understanding and causing the multiplier to surge.
If he had achieved Super Five earlier, he might not feel this strongly.
But Lin Chuan has experienced much, whether in control or experience, both are unparalleled.
He is simply applying all of it to the Super Saiyan Fifth Stage form.
"It's been so long since I've fought this freely! Since the last battle until now, I almost forgot what it feels like to go all out." Lin Chuan's battle intent rises as excitement fills his face.
"Hmph! You brat… you're really treating me as your sparring partner!" Champa immediately understands and feels displeased.
Yet he must admit that Super Saiyan Fifth Stage Lin Chuan is indeed strong.
This white-haired monkey form is already comparable to Lin Chuan's full strength two years ago.
And even now, this is definitely not his full power.
Even he must get serious, or he will lose!
"Now that you mention it, that's true. But not just anyone can be my sparring partner, right? After all, you're the strongest opponent I've ever met! Come, let's make this fight more intense!!" Lin Chuan's battle intent surges.
Pure bloodline power turns into a violent storm sweeping the sky.
Champa, caught in it, feels a tremendous force pushing him back.
"Hmph!! Your energy increased again, brat!!" Champa snorts as his destructive power grows.
The enhanced God of Destruction power turns into a purple radiance that devours everything.
Soon, dozens or even hundreds of destruction energy spheres fill the sky.
"Destruction!!" With a wave of his hand, Champa launches another wave.
Controlling them, he bombards Lin Chuan again.
Lin Chuan is not anxious, having already foreseen this with future prediction enhanced by time power.
With a thought, golden energy spheres rotating in reverse are formed.
"Go!!!" He sends them forward.
Mortal power collides with destruction power, yet no massive explosion occurs.
Each golden sphere contains a reverse vortex, pulling in the destruction energy and erasing it at the cost of itself.
"What?! You can erase my destruction?!" Champa is shocked.
Lin Chuan has grown to this level without even using divine power.
Annoyed, Champa clasps his hands, releasing overwhelming destructive power.
The entire realm turns purple under his aura.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan becomes serious.
Champa is now truly getting serious.
A terrifying destruction sphere forms in Champa's hand.
Purple lightning crackles around it.
"If you dare, take this attack!!" Champa throws it.
Though small, its power is vastly different.
"Why wouldn't I?!" Lin Chuan responds, pressing it with his aura.
The sphere slows, but suddenly expands thousands of times.
Its power reaches late tenth-dimension level.
"Hmm?!" Lin Chuan senses danger but cannot escape in time.
The sphere engulfs him completely.
His body suffers under the destruction power, pain spreading.
He cries out in pain.
Hearing this, Champa smiles widely.
"Serves you right. If you beg, I might spare you." he says arrogantly.
But he celebrates too early.
"Got you." Lin Chuan suddenly grins.
"You were pretending?!" Champa rages.
He realizes he was fooled.
Lin Chuan's strength is far deeper than expected.
Lin Chuan stabilizes himself.
His bloodline power surges violently.
An ancient power awakens within him.
"Champa, I'm not the same as before! Let me show you the power of Super Saiyan Fifth Stage!!"
"HAAAAAAA!!!!"
His energy explodes.
White energy floods outward, reversing the situation and suppressing destruction power.
"What?!" Champa feels uneasy.
His destructive power is completely shattered into particles.
"How does it feel, Champa?" Lin Chuan crosses his arms, smiling confidently.
Thanks to Champa's pressure, his mastery of Super Saiyan Fifth Stage has improved further.
He has a premonition that if the fight continues, the power of Super Saiyan Fifth Stage will be further stimulated, reaching a realm beyond his imagination.
"Tch! You've only neutralized a small part of my destruction, don't get carried away!!" Champa grits his teeth, unwilling to accept it, determined to regain face from Lin Chuan.
"You'll know soon whether I'm bluffing or not!" Lin Chuan clenches his fists, a sharp glint flashing through his crimson eyes.
In an instant, his aura surges, his bloodline power is activated again, pale-white energy shoots into the sky, and the energy fluctuations grow stronger.
The God of Destruction Realm is split into two completely different domains by their energies.
In an instant, winds surge and clouds churn, even the universe seems to tremble.
As if everything is about to be destroyed, terrifying to the extreme.
Just as both push their power to the limit and prepare to attack again.
Vados, knowing the consequences of continuing, immediately uses teleportation to appear between them, interrupting their energy buildup.
"That's enough, Little Lin Chuan, Lord Champa. This is only a sparring test, there's no need to get this serious."
"Besides, if you continue, even if the God of Destruction Realm is fine, the lower universe will be disturbed by your energy."
Vados's voice is serious yet teasing.
After all, she was the one who initiated this, suggesting Champa and Lin Chuan fight to test Super Saiyan Fifth Stage.
Now that they are in full swing, she is the one stopping it.
Lin Chuan shakes his head helplessly.
Champa regains his senses, looks at Vados, and his mouth twitches: "You've already said everything, what else can I say? Tch! I don't care anyway, I wasn't even serious. It depends on the brat."
His tone is full of arrogance.
Clearly, he agrees to stop, but not because he wants to, and not because he cannot defeat Lin Chuan.
Vados understands and looks at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan mutters inwardly, then withdraws his power and returns to normal, saying: "Then let's end it. I've tested Super Saiyan Fifth Stage enough."
Giving Champa face.
After all, there is still a long future ahead, no need to escalate things.
"In that case, everyone is satisfied. But I didn't expect that just after breaking through Super Saiyan Fifth Stage, you already made a small breakthrough within this realm." Vados smiles.
Lin Chuan rolls his eyes: "I know you're amazing, you can see it, but don't expose everything."
"Ara ara~! Lord Champa isn't an outsider, hehehe~~!" Vados laughs even more brightly.
She enjoys seeing Lin Chuan unable to deal with her.
Thus, under Vados's intervention, the sparring ends.
Without the raging energy, the realm returns to calm.
One hour later.
Champa is enjoying food taken from Lin Chuan's storage space.
Lin Chuan and Vados walk by the lake chatting.
A man and a woman—if not for their identities, others might think they are a couple.
In reality, they are simply familiar with each other.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Chuan asks Vados questions.
Though she cannot directly guide his cultivation, answering questions is not considered guidance.
Their agreement is not absolute.
Lin Chuan has asked her many questions before.
This time, it is about the power of time.
What happens when one masters time?
And what can this power achieve?
Vados already knows Lin Chuan has grasped time laws.
Though still shallow, she explains some basics and tells him one sentence:
"While playing with time, be careful not to be played by time."
Leaving Universe 6, Lin Chuan still does not fully understand her words.
She does not reveal forbidden knowledge or teach him methods.
The meaning is clear—he must rely on himself.
Only self-earned power cannot be taken away.
From her gaze, Lin Chuan understands one more thing:
If he fails to transcend by the deadline, becoming an Angel trainee will reveal the truth.
...
Returning to Universe 7.
Lin Chuan does not go to Earth, but instead goes to the Supreme Kai Realm to find Old Supreme Kai.
Having cultivated alone, he now needs more information.
Only Old Supreme Kai can provide it.
After all, Supreme Kais are the only ones who can travel through time using Time Rings.
Gods of Destruction cannot.
Except the Supreme Kai of Time, Chronoa, who freely travels time to protect it.
"I'm glad you came, but unfortunately even I don't know much about time."
"We can use Time Rings, but compared to the Supreme Kai of Time, we are far inferior."
Old Supreme Kai says.
"In that case, I'll take my leave. Visit Earth sometime." Lin Chuan leaves.
Watching him leave, Old Supreme Kai shows a thoughtful look.
Shin and Kibito notice.
"Ancestor, you seem worried," Shin says.
"You're worried he'll misuse time?" Kibito asks.
Old Supreme Kai sighs: "No, that's all I know. But I can tell he hid something. He may already be able to travel through time."
"What?!" Shin and Kibito are shocked.
If true, Lin Chuan has surpassed universal rules.
...
Earth.
Lin Chuan returns but first visits Kami's Lookout to see Piccolo.
He does not share his breakthrough.
Keeping secrets has proven useful before.
Now that many know his limits, Super Saiyan Fifth Stage will remain hidden.
Like Ultra Instinct, only Champa and Vados know.
Even Whis should preferably not know.
At this level, one must have hidden trump cards.
