"Damn it!"
"Where did this guy come from?"
"How can he have so much divine power?"
"Is this guy really a human?"
At this moment, the Thousand-Hand King was extremely irritated.
Because he had already lost a considerable amount of divine power.
And a large portion of it had been burned by himself.
The Thousand-Hand King belonged to the Thousand-Tentacle Race, and his divine body was considered quite large even among the demon race.
It measured over a thousand meters.
Such a divine body was already enormous among ordinary lifeforms.
Yet even so, the Thousand-Hand King had already lost nearly ten percent of his divine power.
And still, he could not sense even the slightest sign of Luo Fan's aura weakening.
Generally speaking, human divine bodies were relatively small.
That was why the Thousand-Hand King had chosen to burn divine power and clash head-on with Luo Fan in the first place.
After all, the Thousand-Hand King's divine body was millions of times larger than that of an ordinary human.
He was not afraid of competing in divine power consumption with a human at all.
He could even burn portions of divine power without restraint.
As long as his divine power remained above ninety percent, the recovery speed would not be too slow.
For a Monarch-level Immortal, that amount of recovery time was negligible. (TL/N: Monarch is immortal realm King Tier if you're wondering.)
But now, he discovered something horrifying.
His divine power seemed to be less than that of the human in front of him.
In his view, Luo Fan had to be constantly burning divine power.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to unleash such terrifying strength.
At this moment, the Thousand-Hand King had already developed thoughts of retreat.
If this continued, he might truly end up capsizing in a gutter.
The next instant, the flow of time around Luo Fan suddenly changed drastically.
He discovered that time deceleration had been applied to the left side of his body, while time acceleration had been applied to the right side.
The differing time flows on both sides of his body immediately gave him the sensation that he was about to be torn apart.
In fact, his physical body was indeed being continuously damaged.
Because this was environmental damage inflicted upon the body.
Even the Myriad Star Flower could not completely block it.
If this were a true Monarch-level Immortal, it would basically have no effect.
At most, they would feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But Luo Fan was, after all, only a World Master.
At this moment, the Myriad Star Flower immediately activated its second innate talent ability, Healing.
As soon as Luo Fan's body was damaged, the Myriad Star Flower healed it at once.
Just then, the flow of time around him changed once again.
This time, it was even more terrifying than before.
The space around him was divided into many small regions.
Each region had a different flow of time.
And all of these regions were extremely small.
Luo Fan felt as though his body was being torn apart.
Immediately afterward, the Thousand-Hand King directly unleashed his strongest secret art.
Countless tentacles wielding longswords swung wildly.
Streams of sword light shot toward Luo Fan.
Luo Fan unleashed the Sea of Blade Light, attempting to neutralize the Thousand-Hand King's attacks.
At that moment, he discovered that those sword lights suddenly accelerated and arrived in front of him.
The flow of time around him continued to change.
The sword lights alternated between fast and slow.
Defending against them became extremely difficult.
At times, it looked as though the sword light on the left would reach him first.
But just before reaching him, it would suddenly slow down.
Meanwhile, the sword light on the other side would slice through space and strike Luo Fan ahead of time.
At this point, Luo Fan had no time to release the Sea of Blade Light outward.
He could only condense the blade light onto the Whale Fin Blade, crushing part of the incoming sword lights.
Deep blue blade light gathered around the Whale Fin Blade.
Terrifying law fluctuations radiated outward.
It looked extremely powerful.
But in reality, the Sea of Blade Light was mainly used to restrain enemies and grind down their divine power.
When it was not released outward, it could not achieve its greatest effect.
At this moment, Luo Fan felt extremely stifled.
Fortunately, he still had the Myriad Star Flower, which could block the sword lights that slipped through.
In the distance, the Thousand-Hand King was filled with shock.
At first, seeing his secret art strike Luo Fan had made him excited.
Even if Luo Fan was burning divine power and blocking part of the sword lights,
the remaining sword lights should still have been able to erase a significant amount of the opponent's divine power.
But he discovered that although many sword lights struck Luo Fan,
Luo Fan's aura still did not weaken by even the slightest amount.
At this moment, the Thousand-Hand King felt fear.
One had to know that this move had consumed a great deal of his divine power.
And he was still in a state of burning divine power.
Maintaining the constantly changing flow of time around Luo Fan also consumed a large amount of divine power.
Yet these attacks had achieved very little.
The Thousand-Hand King no longer hesitated and turned to flee immediately.
Seeing this, Luo Fan wanted to chase him down and kill him.
Although this battle had been extremely uncomfortable,
it had also given him a great deal of inspiration.
Combat truly was the best way to test secret arts.
He wanted to fight more experts like the Thousand-Hand King, who comprehended the Time Origin Law.
Such opponents were not easy to find.
However, Luo Fan quickly discovered that he could not catch up to the Thousand-Hand King at all.
Within the Spatial Lock Forbidden Zone, teleportation and divine kingdom transfer were indeed unusable.
To leave, one could only fly slowly.
Or directly enter the Dark Universe to travel.
For Monarch-level experts, entering the Dark Universe was not difficult.
Exceeding the speed of light was also not particularly hard.
But at this moment, Luo Fan suddenly realized something.
The Thousand-Hand King could use time acceleration to speed up the flow of time around himself.
In that case, his relative speed would also increase.
After time acceleration, while one minute passed for Luo Fan, several minutes had already passed for the Thousand-Hand King.
If their speeds were the same, the distance the Thousand-Hand King traveled would be several times that of Luo Fan.
This meant that the Thousand-Hand King's relative speed could completely exceed the speed of light without entering the Dark Universe.
For Luo Fan to catch up to him was basically impossible.
Unless he mastered spatial lockdown or time suspension.
"Sigh."
"Damn it."
Luo Fan sighed and finally stopped.
At that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
Although he could not teleport, he could use wormholes to intercept the opponent in advance.
He took out the Thousand-Mile Eye and began detecting the opponent's position.
Even though the Thousand-Hand King was flying extremely fast, as long as he did not enter the Dark Universe, he could not escape the detection range of the Thousand-Mile Eye.
"Found you."
A smile appeared at the corner of Luo Fan's mouth.
The next instant, a wormhole appeared in front of him.
He stepped through it and arrived in a stretch of empty space.
One second later, a figure appeared within his perception.
Luo Fan did not hesitate at all and directly unleashed Whale Fin Slash.
A terrifying giant whale appeared, and numerous spatial rifts instantly formed around it.
"How is that possible!"
"How can you be this fast!"
Luo Fan did not answer the Thousand-Hand King's question.
What greeted the Thousand-Hand King was the terrifying giant whale.
Boom.
The Thousand-Hand King, already in a state of time acceleration and high-speed flight, had no way to dodge.
Caught off guard, he lost a significant amount of divine power.
Luo Fan could clearly sense that the Thousand-Hand King's aura had weakened.
His eyes lit up.
This meant that the opponent had already lost more than ten percent of his divine power.
Luo Fan did not hesitate and immediately pressed the advantage.
This time, the Thousand-Hand King had no intention of continuing the fight.
After sacrificing several tentacles, he escaped once again.
At this point, Luo Fan was no longer in a hurry.
A wormhole appeared in front of him once more.
He arrived again in front of the Thousand-Hand King.
"Damn it!"
"Even if I die, I will make you pay a price!"
At this moment, the Thousand-Hand King finally understood.
Luo Fan possessed a method of rapid movement within the Spatial Lock Forbidden Zone.
He knew that now, there were only three possible outcomes.
Either he killed Luo Fan.
Or Luo Fan killed him.
Or Luo Fan gave up on his own initiative.
Other than that, there was basically no other possibility.
Because in his current state, he simply could not escape.
Unless he could enter the Dark Universe.
And then shake off Luo Fan at the instant of entry.
But that was basically impossible.
Even for him, reaching the speed of light required a period of acceleration.
Under normal circumstances, that time might be short.
But in this environment, it was more than enough for Luo Fan to appear in front of him again.
The Thousand-Hand King did not hesitate and directly began burning divine power.
Large numbers of tentacles wielding swords slashed toward Luo Fan.
The flow of time around each sword was different.
At the same time, lightning, light, and wind coiled around the blades.
Powerful law fluctuations spread through the void.
Luo Fan also sensed the strength of these attacks.
Although he resisted with all his might,
he still failed to block many of them.
After all, the Thousand-Hand King had far too many tentacles.
He simply could not defend against them all.
Now he could only barely rely on the Myriad Star Flower to block these attacks.
However, he could clearly feel that the Thousand-Hand King's aura was beginning to decline.
The Thousand-Hand King's divine power loss had long exceeded ten percent.
As time went on, the opponent's strength would only continue to weaken.
A war of attrition was extremely favorable for Luo Fan.
After all, it was completely impossible for the Thousand-Hand King to kill the Myriad Star Flower.
As long as the Myriad Star Flower did not die, Luo Fan would basically not be injured.
Unless the opponent used soul or will attacks.
But the Thousand-Hand King was not proficient in soul attacks to begin with.
As for will attacks, in the Primordial Universe, aside from Sitting Mountain Guest and Luo Fan, no one else possessed will-based secret arts.
Before long, as time passed, the Thousand-Hand King's aura grew weaker and weaker.
Yet he discovered that Luo Fan's aura had not weakened at all.
All of his attacks were blocked by the opponent's plant lifeform.
And the Thousand-Hand King was shocked to discover that the opponent's plant lifeform was actually only a World Master–level plant lifeform.
The difference between World Master and Immortal was enormous.
When an Immortal-level plant lifeform was attacked, its shattered vines were formed from divine power.
But World Master–level vines showed no signs of divine power transformation.
Thus, the Thousand-Hand King could easily tell that the Myriad Star Flower was merely a World Master–level plant lifeform.
"How can there be such a monstrous plant lifeform!"
"What exactly is this human's identity!"
He knew that today, he was basically finished.
He did not hesitate and immediately sent Luo Fan's detailed information back to the demon race.
At the same time, he sent it to all demon race powerhouses he knew on the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
He had called for help earlier.
But within the Spatial Lock Forbidden Zone, reinforcements required time to arrive.
The Thousand-Hand King did not believe he could survive until help came.
After sending out Luo Fan's information, madness filled his heart.
The next instant, he charged straight toward Luo Fan, preparing to self-destruct.
