"It seems even with increased speed, I can hardly bridge the gap in realms; it only narrows it slightly."
Yi Tianyun's heart sank. Three hundred times sounded terrifying. In reality, it was indeed terrifying, but only when the gap in cultivation wasn't so large. If the gap was too big, it was utterly useless, leading to a crushing defeat.
For example, suppose his speed was five points, multiplied by three hundred, making it fifteen hundred points. But for a seventh-level God Monarch, their base speed might be two or three thousand points. How could he be faster than them?
However, this only narrowed the gap slightly, preventing him from being instantly killed. Yet, he had already "died" once.
The effect of Rebirth from the Ashes had disappeared. The cooldown time was considerable, and even if it could be cooled down, it would require many cooldown divine stones, which were very expensive.
Seeing that he wasn't dead, the Thunder God rushed towards him again, wielding a lightning spear. It didn't use any flashy moves, just straightforwardly charged and stabbed. Simple, yet terrifying, executing the principles of speed, accuracy, and power to perfection. These basic moves were deadly enough.
Yi Tianyun had assumed the Thunder God would only attack from afar. Who knew it would charge directly for close combat, meaning he had to survive against a super-strong seventh-level God Monarch?
"It's only at eighty-five percent, still fifteen percent to go," Yi Tianyun squinted, realizing he had a long time to endure.
Dodging attacks from a seventh-level God Monarch was terrifyingly difficult. If it came to running, there was no way he could escape. The opponent was faster, even with the enhancement of Rebirth from the Ashes, he was still outpaced.
"Swish…"
The Thunder God turned into a streak of lightning, rushing towards him again.
This time, Yi Tianyun didn't dodge. His eyes flashed with a brilliant light.
"Crazy Damage Mode, activate!"
"Dual Planetary Power, activate!"
"Heaven Shaking Divine Art, activate!"
All his abilities activated, stacking all his powers together. Instantly, his combat strength skyrocketed!
Five million star power!
Six million star power!
...
Ten million star power!
...
Twenty million star power!
...
Thirty million star power!
...
Fifty-six million star power!
Stacking everything together, his star power exploded to fifty-six million points. This was not only from the bloodline boosts but also from the weapon's power.
The Star God Spear in his hand emitted a dazzling light as he swung it fiercely, cutting through the air like a radiant moon.
"Boom!"
The ferocious attack clashed with the incoming Thunder God. The strongest offense was the best defense. Instead of running, he chose to attack head-on.
As the two ultimate forces collided, Yi Tianyun was blasted away by the violent force. Countless lightning bolts flowed along the Star God Spear, scorching his arm black, and filling the air with the smell of burnt flesh.
"So powerful!"
Yi Tianyun's heart trembled. The power was immense, mixed with fierce lightning. Even with his tough resistance, he was getting burnt.
The Eye of Insight is continuously analyzed. The Thunder God's combat strength had soared to over seventy million star power, far surpassing his fifty-six million.
"Swish!"
The pale blue figure of the Thunder God twisted in the air again, wielding the lightning spear and thrusting at him once more. As long as Yi Tianyun wasn't dead, it wouldn't stop.
"Come on!"
Yi Tianyun roared the Star God Spear in his hand, emitting light flashes as the Divine Imprints activated.
"Strength Divine Imprint, activate!"
"Speed Divine Imprint, activate!"
"Damage Divine Imprint, activate!"
"Ice Divine Imprint, activate!"
All four Divine Imprints activated, making the previously dark Star God Spear shine brightly. Now, the spear truly looked like a Star God Spear, with starry light dots gathered on it, like holding a galaxy!
"Starry Vast Art—Galactic Snowfall!"
Besides activating the Divine Imprints, he also activated the divine art given by the Vast Heaven Venerable, utilizing it to its fullest extent. With all boosts combined, his combat strength soared again.
Sixty million star power!
Sixty-three million star power!
Sixty-eight million star power!
Seventy-three million star power!
The increase was wild, bridging the gap of over ten million star power. However, his whole body began to bleed, the layers of outbursts overloading his body.
Even with the maxed-out Dragon God Bloodline, his power was almost beyond his limit. Without it, he couldn't unleash this level of power.
"Not even the heavens can stop me!"
Yi Tianyun roared, fiercely swinging the Star God Spear, unleashing countless streams of starlight to clash with the incoming Thunder God.
"Boom boom boom!"
The violent explosion rippled outwards, obliterating any rocks or planets it touched. The collision was terrifying, comparable to a battle between invincible God Monarchs!
Moreover, this Thunder God was stronger than a normal seventh-level God Monarch.
The explosion blew away a figure—it was Yi Tianyun, not the Thunder God.
His dragon scales were blasted off in large patches, leaving his body badly injured. Fortunately, his strong defense prevented total destruction, only damaging the surface.
Thanks to his dual bloodlines, his body rapidly healed. On the other hand, despite the massive blow, the Thunder God quickly regenerated the damage with surrounding lightning, restoring it completely.
The Thunder God wasn't a living being but an energy construct of lightning, healing as long as the realm existed.
In the end, it was about enduring the time limit. Defeating the Thunder God was nearly impossible. It would heal regardless of the damage.
If destroyed, it would reform. To end this, there were two ways: endure the time or destroy the tribulation clouds.
But attempting the latter was too risky. Angering the tribulation would multiply its power, making it unplayable.
