Chapter 895: Emperor’s Soul
There was an explosion. This time, both Long Chen and Zhao Kongming were thrown back. With a dull thud, both of them landed and retreated ten steps, forming craters beneath their feet.
If this were in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, they would not have just formed craters—the whole piece of land would have been destroyed!
This exchange had ended in a draw.
Oh no! This was not a good thing for Long Chen. He had less essence than his opponent, and the Emperor’s Arrival technique had almost exhausted all of it. But his opponent still could use his trump car again!
Long Chen stabilized his feet with slightly furrowed brows. Not even ten breaths of time had passed yet, but he would not let himself be at a disadvantage. Therefore, he chose to use Rewind to restore his strength to the way it was before he used the Emperor’s Manual.
Under the ancestral dragon’s control over the law of time, huge amounts of essence appeared in his body, as if out of thin air.
Long Chen once had a curious idea. He wondered if he could use Rewind on Blood Sacrifice. The activation of that technique required about three to four breaths of time. Then he would use the remaining six breaths’ time to unleash at least one attack. With the help of Blood Sacrifice, his attack would be boosted. Not caring if his attack injured his opponent, he could use Rewind to return his body to its state ten breaths ago. Could he avoid the regression in cultivation level and prevent injuring his Martial Soul that way?
He had asked Little Cat before, to which he replied, “In your dreams! You cannot break universal laws. The ancestral dragon may control certain laws, but it is also bound by even higher-level laws, which is the boundless universe itself. The ancestral dragon’s powers have a ceiling too. For example, Blood Sacrifice is a very powerful technique. The more powerful the user is, the more impressive the technique will be. If the user didn’t end up injured afterwards, wouldn’t the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon far surpass the other ancestral dragons? Therefore, the world had to place limits on the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon so that it could not use Blood Sacrifice so casually. This is the law of the world. No being can break it, not even the other ancestral dragons. That includes the dragon of time, the Primordial Time Dragon!
“If your logic was correct, you could recover from anything using Rewind. However, even the Primordial Time Dragon was unable to break the laws of this world, so you will need to accept the regression of your cultivation level.”
