The annihilation of the Sky Pillar Zong Family didn't cause much of a stir in Immortal Cave Mountain.
After all, Immortal Cave Mountain was enormous. If they didn't deliberately spread the news, almost no one would know about it.
Many people were running around for their fortunes and inheritances, while others were trapped in dangerous places, waiting to be rescued.
At the same time, people died in Immortal Cave Mountain every day. It was just that no one knew about it.
Of course, this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from the great clans.
The yao and dark vampires were the first to receive the news.
They didn't even need to guess to know that Fang Chen was behind it.
"We can't let him continue to grow, or he'll become a great enemy of ours."
This was the news of the dark vampires. They wanted to kill Fang Chen as soon as possible.
The latter's growth speed was beyond their imagination.
"It's urgent to seize the Yao-Sealing Tower."
The yao also spread the news. Even Yao Yan felt uneasy.
The two great clans pursued Fang Chen with all their might.
At that moment, Fang Chen ran into someone unexpected.
Xu Zichen, a young genius of the Void Race.
"Xu Zichen."
Xu Zichen cupped his hands at Fang Chen and smiled.
"Fang Chen."
The two of them looked at each other, then smiled.
"I could tell that Brother Fang was extraordinary when we fought back then. Now that I see it, it's true," Xu Zichen said politely.
Xu Zichen replied politely, "How long has it been? Brother Fang, you've already stepped into the Profound Star Realm. I'm afraid you're already on par with me, right?"
Fang Chen shrugged and said, "The Void Race's Dao of the Void can shake the entire primal chaos. You, Xu Zichen, are ranked first on the Profound Ranking. I know my limits."
Despite his words, Fang Chen didn't feel the slightest bit of fear.
"Haha."
Xu Zichen smiled. "Since we've met, it must be fate.
How about we have a little competition? "
"Oh?"
When Fang Chen heard that, he exclaimed softly and looked at Xu Zichen.
Xu Zichen's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, but no malice.
"Brother Fang, in your battle with Black Wind, your Dao of Space and Time shone brightly. I'm itching to compete with Brother Fang," said Xu Zichen.
"Alright."
Fang Chen readily agreed. In fact, after cultivating the Spacetime Collapse Art to this point, he knew very well where his limits were.
… …
Asura Universe, Mortal World.
Fang Chen's avatar and Bone Progenitor's's.......... com
......
"Hahaha, I still have to thank you this time. If not for you letting me watch the creation of this Mortal World, I don't know when I would have been able to comprehend this final step."
Ancestor Bone laughed excitedly.
Although his cultivation was inferior to Fang Chen's, no one could compare to his comprehension of the Space-Time Dao.
He told Fang Chen the general framework in his mind.
.......
"Wonderful!"
When Fang Chen heard that, he slapped the table in praise.
Then he closed his eyes and began to comprehend..
. On Immortal Cave Mountain, the main body and Xu Zichen had already begun to compete.
"Brother Fang, let's begin."
Xu Zichen smiled.
Fang Chen nodded, then the two of them turned into afterimages and shot forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
From the start, Xu Zichen had the absolute upper hand and pulled Fang Chen far ahead of him.
"Xu Zichen lives up to his reputation as a Void Race genius. He can borrow the power of the wind to escape."
Fang Chen sighed inwardly.
Xu Zichen's control of the void had already reached perfection.
When he thought about how some people had said that Black Wind's speed was comparable to Xu Zichen's, Fang Chen found it laughable.
Black Wind probably couldn't even touch Xu Zichen's clothes.
They weren't on the same level at all.
"Brother Fang, this isn't your style."
Xu Zichen's voice rang out from up ahead.
Fang Chen grinned, then activated the Spacetime Collapse Technique at full power. He instantly closed in on Xu Zichen.
"Now this is the Fang Chen I know," said Xu Zichen with a smile.
At the same time, he fully unleashed the void race's innate divine ability.
Wherever the two of them passed, space would distort, and violent energy would sweep over.
Time passed, bit by bit. Fang Chen pursued Xu Zichen relentlessly.
This made Xu Zichen sigh. Fang Chen's mastery of spacetime was even greater than he'd imagined.
Finally, after fighting for a period of time, a vast ocean appeared in front of the two of them.
"Brother Fang, let's use that vast ocean as our destination. What do you think?" said Xu Zichen.
"Alright." Fang Chen nodded.
Buzz!
With that, Xu Zichen's speed soared. In the blink of an eye, he'd pulled away from Fang Chen.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! As they neared the ocean, Xu Zichen turned and glanced at Fang Chen.
He saw that Fang Chen was still the same as before; he hadn't accelerated at all.
"Could this be his limit?"
When he considered this, Xu Zichen shook his head.
Although Xu Zichen's potential was great, in the end, he wasn't a member of the void race. For him to reach this limit was already incredible.
Even so, he couldn't threaten Xu Zichen.
As he considered this, Xu Zichen took a step forward and pushed his speed to the limit.
At the same time, Fang Chen sped up as well.
Dong!
His mind suddenly shook. Fang Chen sensed that his Spacetime Collapse Technique had reached a whole new level.
"Charge."
He spat out a single word, then his speed suddenly increased by dozens of times. In the blink of an eye, he'd caught up to Xu Zichen.
His sudden burst of speed caused Xu Zichen to tremble.
"How could this be?"
Xu Zichen was stunned. He gritted his teeth and charged forward with all his might.
However, to his shock, he discovered that Fang Chen's speed was still soaring.
He watched helplessly as Fang Chen whizzed past him. In the end, Fang Chen landed on the vast ocean before him.
"This …."
Xu Zichen's eyes widened in disbelief.
He'd clearly sensed that Fang Chen had already reached his limit.
How could Xu Zichen's speed increase by dozens of times at the last moment? How could he overtake him in one fell swoop?
Even some of the void race's elders couldn't possibly be that fast.
"Could it be that he's been hiding all this time?"
That thought popped into Xu Zichen's mind.
When he considered this, Xu Zichen's expression grew grave. When he looked at Fang Chen, his eyes were filled with reverence.
The void race was best at speed. On the Profound Ranking, he was known as the fastest. Even Hei Feng was no match for him.
And yet, he'd lost to a nobody.
"Freak."
Xu Zichen spat out two words.
Fang Chen's speed had already surpassed the limits of Xu Zichen's imagination.
Even if he went all out, there was no way he could beat him in speed.
When he thought of this, Xu Zichen sighed and walked up to Fang Chen.
Meanwhile, in the distant Asura Universe, Fang Chen's clone and the Bone Progenitor cheered excitedly.
"Hahaha, so that's how it is," said the Bone Progenitor.
"That's right. We've been on the wrong path all this time. The Dao of Space-Time should've developed in this direction," said Fang Chen.
The Bone Progenitor nodded.
"The Dao of Space-Time is one of the ways to escape. All this time, we've focused on increasing our speed while simultaneously increasing our attack power. Now that I think about it, we were gravely mistaken."
"Focus. Only by focusing on speed can we achieve success."
The two of them had benefited greatly from this epiphany. At the same time, they'd gained a clear understanding of the Dao of Space-Time's cultivation path.
To them, this was more important than anything else.
Mount Immortal Cave, in front of the vast ocean.
Fang Chen looked at Xu Zichen and grinned.
It went without saying that Xu Zichen was incredibly fast. If it weren't for the fact that his clone in the Asura Universe had comprehended something at a critical moment and refined the Space-Time Collapse Technique to a higher level, it would've been absolutely impossible for him to catch up.
"Brother Xu's speed is truly breathtaking. You were just lucky this time," said Fang Chen.
Xu Zichen waved his hand. "In a way, I've already lost."
The Void Race's many resources, as well as some heaven-defying space-type cultivation techniques, had created Xu Zichen's monstrous genius.
In comparison, Fang Chen was just a wandering cultivator. He'd reached his current level entirely on his own.
That was why Xu Zichen accepted his loss wholeheartedly.
"If you have time, Brother Fang, please come to the Void Race and we can discuss things together." Xu Zichen extended his hand. When Fang Chen saw this, he reached out and shook hands with him.
"I couldn't ask for more."
The growth of the Space-Time Cultivation System couldn't solely rely on him and the Bone Progenitor. It required many external factors.
If he could get some pointers from the Void Race, he'd definitely be able to avoid many detours.
Furthermore, Xu Zichen was trying to befriend him. Fang Chen naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to refuse.
"Hahaha! All this time, none of the experts on the Profound Ranking have been able to surpass me in speed. Today, I got to spar with Brother Fang. It's truly delightful." Xu Zichen released all the pent-up emotions he'd suppressed for so long.
