Chapter 395: Chapter 394: Ten Seconds of Energy (Additional Update)

The Sect Hierarch finally seized this opportunity, using his power of absorption as if he saw the dawn of victory.

Whether it was eating, dressing, residing, or traveling – all had become part of Jiang Li’s cultivation. After Jiang Li entered the Mahayana Realm, he was constantly training and becoming stronger at every moment.

But now, Jiang Li had ceased to become stronger.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

As the time passed second by second, a shocked Jiang Li realized that ever since he was hit by the Sect Hierarch’s power of absorption, he had ceased becoming stronger!

He wasn’t getting stronger for a full ten seconds!

Jiang Li was just amazed, but the Sect Hierarch was terrified.

In the past, when he used his power of absorption, draining others’ energy and abilities felt like inserting a straw into a glass of water and sipping the water out effortlessly.

However, absorbing from Jiang Li felt like inserting a straw into a concrete floor, and despite nearly suffocating due to the lack of oxygen, all he managed to absorb were a few dust particles scattered on the concrete.

What was even scarier was that while others’ energy was only the size of a glass of water, Jiang Li’s energy was bottomless, deeper than the ocean.

After his split personality fully recovered, the Sect Hierarch started suffering from several psychological conditions, like depression and deep-sea phobia.

When he was absorbing from Jiang Li, he nearly had a deep-sea phobia attack!

As the Sect Hierarch absorbed Jiang Li’s energy, a peculiar equilibrium was achieved – Jiang Li was becoming stronger, while the Sect Hierarch was sucking out the part that was making Jiang Li stronger, which resulted in Jiang Li not getting stronger.

The Sect Hierarch couldn’t completely absorb Jiang Li. After ten seconds passed, he had reached his limit of absorption and stopped.

He was overjoyed. The energy gained in those ten seconds was enough to upgrade all of his abilities to the seventh level!

However, the Hierarch soon realized that he was too greedy; he couldn’t absorb the energy from those ten seconds!

His body turned red and swelled, as disorderly and brutal energy battered his body. He used all his healing abilities to mend his body, but he realized it was futile. This experience was like a pedestrian being run over by a truck, resurrected, then run over again, an endless cycle.

A massive energy spewed out from the mouth of the Hierarch.

Initially, the Hierarch wanted to use this energy to attack Jiang Li, but the energy burst out from his body uncontrollably, forcing the Hierarch to open his mouth and throw his head back.

A sky-blue beam, full of life, sprayed out into the starry sky.

Even though it was still daytime, the radiance of the sky-blue light was brighter than the sun.

Just like the brilliance of the sun obscures the stars during the day, the energy blocked out the sunlight, casting everything in its shadow.

The entirety of the Weigu Continent was captivated by this extraordinary sight, causing numerous people to look up in awe, take pictures, and leaving countless astronomers wishing they could gouge their eyes out, disregarding this phenomenon that violated the laws of nature.

This phenomenon could overturn the entire field of astronomy!

If someone were to publicly use their abilities, the director’s first reaction would always be how to cover it up. But at this moment, his first reaction was to curse in shock.

He didn’t have to worry about hiding anything.

Firstly, this phenomenon was too outrageous. Anyone with eyes could see it; hiding it was pointless.

Secondly, even if they admitted that this phenomenon was caused by supernatural abilities, the public wouldn’t believe it.

“Is the Hierarch this powerful?!” The director was shivering with fear. He saw that it was the Hierarch who was emitting the beam, and thought that this was the Hierarch’s ultimate ability.

Even scarier was what happened next. After the blue light beam penetrated the atmosphere, its power did not diminish at all. Any passing stars would explode upon contact.

Astronomers wanted to bang their heads and forget the spectacle they were witnessing.

How would they explain this? A linear black hole?

The most unlucky person was a certain graduate student whose thesis was about the trajectory of a specific planet.

He had tirelessly collected data and observed astronomical phenomena night after night for over a year and was finally about to defend his thesis.

The planet had now vanished.

After the Hierarch completely spent the ten-second energy, the blue light beam transformed from a straight line into a line segment, continuing on its original path.

Coincidentally, the Weigu Continent was beside the boundary wall. The blue light beam did not travel for long before it collided with and broke through the wall, persisting even amidst the tempest of the Void before it finally dissipated.

This scene was observed by astronomers and marked the first time the border of the universe had been observed from the world of Weigu. It was of enormous significance.

However, this scene contradicted existing theories, leaving astronomers scratching their heads and contemplating new theories.

Bai Hongtu realized he needed to devise a new plan to defeat Jiang Li.

He doubted that not even his Heart Link could block such a preposterous attack. “Could it be possible that I can’t even break Jiang Li’s defense?”

Upon seeing Jiang Li, the only thing left in the Hierarch’s eyes was not the desire to fight, but a deep-seated fear.

What kind of person would have such an immense amount of energy.

Even if the energy he just experienced was only one-tenth of his, it was horrifying enough.

“Monster…Monster…” The Hierarch trembled as he stared at Jiang Li.

He finally realized that while he was toying with the director, Jiang Li, too, was merely toying with him.

There was only one way to deal with such a person.

“Exile into the Void!”

This was the first time the Hierarch was using this ability since acquiring it, and he was unsure of the outcome.

Jiang Li felt everything around him slowing down and instantly understood what was happening.

Someone was employing the power of time to enter the River of Time.

Exile into the Void was not a spatial ability, but a temporal one.

“Where is the entrance?” Jiang Li released his Divine Sense, searching all around. If there was an opportunity to enter the River of Time, he would definitely take it.

Eventually, he found a small gap nearby, the size of a needle’s eye.

The Hierarch didn’t know how to make use of this ability and couldn’t see the process of opening the entrance to the River of Time. All he did was release as much energy as he could to make Jiang Li disappear.

He drained all his energy to expand the small gap into the size of a fist.

If he were absorbing from an ordinary person, he could casually use this ability to open a large gap. The gap had a suction force that could pull people into it. However, this time he was absorbing from Jiang Li.

“This gap is a bit small.” Jiang Li was in a predicament. Tentatively, he stretched out one hand and pried the slot wider.

“You can really pry it open.” Jiang Li was pleased. With both hands, he pried the gap open until it was big enough for a person to pass through, then stepped inside.

As Jiang Li entered the River of Time, the gap closed.

“Hahahaha!” The Hierarch laughed loudly. No matter how powerful Jiang Li was, he had still been banished to the Void by him. Without his permission, Jiang Li would not be able to return.

When the Hierarch was using his ability, only Jiang Li retained his consciousness. Everyone else didn’t see what Jiang Li had done. They only knew that the Hierarch had activated an ability and Jiang Li had disappeared.

“Damn it, it was the power of time!” Although Bai Hongtu hadn’t seen the process, he had witnessed the members of the Great Zhou Dynasty Family use the power of time several times before. He was all too familiar with this sensation.

“Jiang Li, you damned dog, why didn’t you bring me along for such a fun activity!”

At least Jiang Li had visited the River of Time once. Him, Bai Hongtu, hadn’t even visited once.

Bai Hongtu was resentful, demanding that the Hierarch use his ability to banish him to the Void as well.

“You want to save him? Stop dreaming. I consumed all of my energy and used the ability to banish him to the Void, which I can no longer use, as the price to imprison him in there. No one will be able to open the Void again!”

The Hierarch burst out into laughter, fell backward and died.

To banish Jiang Li, he did not just use all his energy, but drained every ounce of his life force as well.
