Chapter 496: Ace in Hand!

The genuine top-rank path of time!

Even the Undying Lifeform would find it challenging to comprehend Time Stop, but Wang Ye had just begun.

The enhancements from his time talent and the top-ranked internal world were secondary.

The primary factor was his sufficiently high attainment in the realm of time. With a foundation of nine stages of Time Control, he progressed to the full six stages of the path of time and reached the advanced rank with all five stages!

This level of mastery over time was quite astonishing, even among Undying Lifeforms.

Purely to grasp this, one would need an exceptionally remarkable time talent.

Especially for the advanced path of time, one had to reach a sufficiently high level in the progressive path of time to even begin. And advancement became increasingly difficult.

The comprehension of the Great Path emphasized gradual progression.

For instance, if he desired to continue comprehending Time Stop, the difficulty would increase.

As the advanced path of time was only at the fifth stage, the time before Time Stop was an instant, and his comprehension was insufficient.

But that was for ordinary talents.

He was exceptional!

[Do you wish to spend 500 million potential points to upgrade the Time Stop stage?]

[Yes!]

[Do you wish to spend 40 billion potential points to upgrade the Time Stop stage?]

[Yes!]

Three consecutive upgrades!

In the space of consciousness, Wang Ye found himself immersed in the river of time, comprehending its true essence.

Countless epochs of insight flooded into his mind, a process that felt incredibly lengthy.

It was as if he had truly roamed the ocean of time and undergone cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, he had a profound realization.

[Time Stop: 3rd stage to 4th stage!]

As he opened his eyes, it felt like ages had passed.

Wang Ye let out a deep breath.

At this moment, his advancement in understanding time felt like turning a new page, an entirely different comprehension.

He had taken a significant step forward in the path of time.

A confident smile played on Wang Ye’s lips.

His trump card came at precisely the right time.

In the past, when he temporarily abandoned the path of space in favor of the path of time, it seemed somewhat risky.

After all, mastering the path of time was more challenging than the path of space.

However, the reality proved that his decision was correct.

His utilization of the path of time in the first round had secured him a place in the top 100.

In the subsequent round, his comprehension of the Time Stop at the fourth stage, even without employing supreme treasures, remained an incredibly potent support technique.

Especially against competitors with average attainments in time, it would be even more effective.

Now, he finally had a longboard that was longer than all the contestants of the Supernova Prodigy Tournament!

Perhaps some of the chosen ones of the eternal nation had already mastered the top-ranked path of time.

However, there would not be anyone who had reached the fourth stage.

Only himself!

“Static World.” Wang Ye took out the high-grade time supreme treasure that he had obtained from the Red River Supreme Treasure Vault.

The Static World was a treasure that looked like an ancient bell.

He had chosen it to push the limits.

Now that he had successfully comprehended Time Stop, this high-grade supreme treasure was undoubtedly a huge gain!

The third layer of cosmic secrets lit up!

The clear sound of the ancient bell contained the mysteries of time with every strike.

The sub-origin of time rippled in the bell. Along with the explosion of energy, the complicated patterns hidden in the cosmic secrets appeared.

Time Shift to Time Twinkle then to Time Stop.

It was the same path of time.

Each of the three layers of cosmic secrets explained one of them.

However, to be able to unleash an outstanding effect, one had to be perfectly compatible with the treasure and comprehend Time Stop.

Now, it was easy.

“Attack, Support, Domain.” Wang Ye switched back and forth, performing it freely.

The Static World was the supreme treasure he had the highest compatibility with after the Hellfire Devil Blade.

It was still too early to say that it was perfect. After all, he had not cultivated the three paths of time to the ninth stage.

However, it was already quite good to be able to control and use it freely.

The power of the Static World would surpass the Blue Lightning Cage, the Golden Soul Devour Arrow, and the Time Halo. It would become his strongest time treasure!

It would become his strongest trump card!

He didn’t continue to cultivate other top-ranked paths of time.

There wasn’t enough time.

At this stage, it was impossible for him to spend at least ten cosmic years to comprehend it.

In terms of combat effectiveness, Time Stop was already the strongest among those of the same level.

To fill in the gaps!

After comprehending Time Stop, the clone prepared to comprehend the advanced path of space.

Out of the three paths of space, only Space Dislocated was at stage five.

Spatial Resonance and dimensional turbulence were still not at the beginner stage.

Among the Super Star level experts in the Taishi Starfield, this kind of spatial attainment was already at the top.

However, in the competition for the Supernova Prodigy Tournament, such spatial skills would be a hindrance to the chosen of the eternal nation.

In the Arena, asura arena, and even in the challenge space, facing the Undying of the sky race had become his wealmess.

Fortunately, his extremely high mastery of time protected him, so he didn’t suffer significant losses.

With time available, he naturally had to make up for it.

Furthermore, the path of space was easier to comprehend than the path of time.

Before the second round began, he would be able to comprehend at least one of them.

“Spatial Resonance.” Wang Ye began his cultivation.

This was a prerequisite for Space Roaming.

The third cosmic secret of the devilish blade was Space Roaming.

If he could master Spatial Resonance and Space Roaming, not only would he be able to reach the peak of compatibility with the devilish blade, but he would also be able to move freely in dimensional turbulence.

In the low-dimensional cosmic, there was nowhere he couldn’t go.

Thirty cosmic days later, Wang Ye received a notice from Luo Erhan and headed to the Red River Supreme Treasure Vault.

The supreme treasures had arrived.

“You’re quite efficient.” Wang Ye laughed.

“For your sake, the 13 imperial families negotiated with the Divine Weapon Heavenly Armory and obtained a saber and a defensive supreme treasure,” Luo Erhan said.

“Oh? Both for me?” Wang Ye was surprised.

“You wish!” Luo Erhan glanced at him. “This is a priceless top-grade cosmic supreme treasure. The Red River Cosmic Nation exchanged it with an equivalent top-grade supreme treasure and Divine Weapon Heavenly Armory, plus a hefty price difference.”

“I can sense the intentions of the higher-ups.” Wang Ye nodded seriously.

“So, you must perform well in the second round. Don’t disappoint the higher-ups’ expectations,” Luo Erhan said softly.

“I’ll do my best.” Wang Ye smiled.

“If you can’t do your best, you must win!” Luo Erhan clenched her fists and looked at Wang Ye. “Just like your performance in the first round. Excellent! All your decisions were meticulous, and you gave your all in every battle. Even when you lost to Wen Rou and Chi Xuan, you still performed admirably!”

“You watched the whole thing?” Wang Ye said softly, smiling at Luo Erhan.

He didn’t expect her to be a tsundere fan.

“No, I haven’t.” Luo Erhan avoided Wang Ye’s gaze and blushed. “I heard it from someone else!”

She would never admit it!

This guy was always bullying her, and it was so annoying!

“Is that so? That’s a pity.” Wang Ye stared at her beautiful side profile and suddenly said softly, “If you’re cheering for me, I’ll perform better in the second round.”

“I, I…” Luo Erhan’s voice grew softer and softer, her breathing slightly hurried, not knowing how to answer.

As a princess of the royal family, she had many servile pursuers.

However, this was the first time he had made such a straightforward proposal.

“Do you want to give me some motivation?”

“What?1

‘ll

“If I can still enter the top 100 in the second round, let’s go on a date.”

“Ah!”

At the Red River Supreme Treasure Vault.

“Hey, I’m here again!” Wang Ye smiled and greeted the guards.

The guards were speechless.

“Is your supreme-grade treasure vault empty?” Wang Ye curiously looked at the supreme-grade treasure vault.

“Please come in.” the guard didn’t answer. He opened the top-grade cosmic supreme treasure vault and stepped inside.

“You’re so tight-lipped.” Wang Ye smiled and didn’t mind.

If he didn’t want to say it, then so be it. Hanhan would naturally say it in the future.

Wang Ye took another look at the supreme-grade treasure vault and entered the top-grade cosmic supreme treasure vault.

Whoosh…

A world within a world with completely different energy intensity.

Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.

Five top-grade supreme treasures!

According to Hanhan, three of them were already there, and the other two were borrowed from the Divine Weapon Heavenly Armory.

The Red River Cosmic Nation was truly poor.

“War saber.”

“Armor.”

Wang Ye saw the two top-grade supreme treasures at a glance.

One was shining with white light, while the other was dazzling with golden light.

He was not picky.

He would choose whichever one was more compatible.

“The blade’s compatibility is stronger,” Wang Ye glanced at the top-grade treasure armor.

Its defense was indeed extraordinary, but it demanded extremely high standards for the physical body and innate abilities, making it potentially challenging for him to achieve compatibility.

His physical prowess was still somewhat distant from the level of being indestructible.

However, the war saber was a different story.

Having fully cultivated the Reincarnation Slash Saber Technique, both his saber heart and saber intent had reached the level of indestructibility, making compatibility relatively easier!

“A time-aligned war saber,” Wang Ye grasped the saber’s hilt and smiled.

The 13 imperial family had done their research.

They knew him all too well.

Containing the secrets of the path of time and merging with dark power, it boasted considerable strength in both spiritual sense and energy!

This was a top-grade supreme treasure!

If he could achieve compatibility with it, the assistance it would provide at this stage would far surpass that of the Hellfire Devil Blade, which had yet to fully recover!

Swoosh!

Wang Ye’s willpower was immersed into it.

In an instant, his mind was greatly shaken as the saber transformed into a streak of light, hurtling forward from the front!

Straightforward!

Wang Ye’s eyes glinted with intensity. He deployed Time Stop, capable of breaking through anything!

The flowing light erupted into endless blade light, accompanied by a surge of dark power!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His willpower endured the intense pressure as Wang Ye concentrated his mind.

Clang! The Hellfire Devil Blade emitted a resounding cry and instantly landed in his hand, its flames burning with a deadly silence.

Clang! Clang! His left and right hands collided violently, the black flames and white light clashing fiercely!

The powerful energy explosion caused the guards to grunt as they were forcefully pushed back.

“Whoosh!” Wang Ye employed the Sole Will Spell.

His willpower drove the fused Hellfire Devil Blade, directly targeting the powerful spiritual sense of the war saber!

The collision of the two sabers was fierce. Wang Ye’s willpower erupted, and the pressure of the top-ranked internal world descended!

The pressure from all three sides converged!

The saber, emanating a radiant white light, hummed, gradually quieting amidst the vibrations.

Soon, it was tamed like a wild steed.

The surging dark power and the vanishing white light gave Wang Ye a sense of connection.

The white-feathered saber fell into his left hand, its thin layer of light gleaming like the sharpest edge in the world.

The surging dark power condensed, infused with the cosmic secret of time, brimming with potent energy!

While its compatibility wasn’t as strong as the Hellfire Devil Blade’s, the might of a top-grade supreme treasure far surpassed that of the still-recovering Hellfire Devil Blade!

With the dual sabers in hand, Wang Ye’s battle intent was boundless!

His close-quarters combat prowess surged!

The acquisition of the first genuine top-grade cosmic supreme treasure was accomplished!

The saber was named Flowing Light Wing Blade!
