Chapter 668: Reputation
"The fourth level involves the creation of a virtual universe, or a miniature universe, rooted in one's own understanding and mastery of power. This miniature universe simulates all transformations of matter, energy, time, and space within the cosmos."
Li Pin observed the intricate workings of these laws under the illumination of the Great Dao Radiance.
If the first level of the Supreme Technique allowed cultivators to grasp the four fundamental forces, the second level enabled them to coordinate and wield these forces with flawless precision. The third level involved compressing and refining these forces into a singular point.
Upon reaching the fourth level, these forces gained the capacity to evolve and expand indefinitely.
Their manifestations were no longer fixed or followed any discernible patterns.
Beyond mere matter and energy, time and space themselves became tools of immense power.
Cultivators at this level could distort space, bridging distances of billions of kilometers in an instant.
They could also manipulate time, causing events perceived by others as yet to occur to transpire immediately.
This manipulation transcended reaction speed—against those who could not access such power, an attack existed in only two states: it had either already happened or it had not.
No matter how swift one's reflexes or how acute one's perception, how could one evade something that had not yet occurred?
Yet, in the eyes of those who wielded this power, the event had already taken place, even if the target remained unaware.
Ultimately, those who mastered time and space held an insurmountable advantage over adversaries still confined to the realms of matter and energy. Battles were reduced to a state where an attack was an inevitable hit, and discovery meant destruction.
