In that moment of sudden enlightenment that determined life and death, he had seen a glimmer of the true essence of the origin of time.
Time is not a river that flows one way, but rather like a web that can be folded, cut, and covered. The so-called slowing down, speeding up, or even reversing time are just various forms of manipulation of this “net”.
The burly man’s time reversal is basically the forced addition of a certain point in the “network” to the previous state at that particular node.
David was unable to fight back because his “net” was made of a different material than the opponent’s “net”, and he was unable to withstand that type of defense.
But now, he understood.
By synchronizing and resonating, he ensures that his “network” is in sync with the other party’s “network” at that time, thereby avoiding overwriting.
Moreover, he realized how to proactively “speed up” the flow of time in his own “network”!
“Right time!”
David shouted, and facing a blow that was powerful enough to distort time and space and destroy mountains and rivers, he did not dodge or dodge, but even took the initiative to face it!
However, the way he fought back made everyone’s hearts stop beating!
He did not release any powerful sword techniques, nor did he gather any extraordinary spiritual power. He simply raised his left hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together to form a sword finger gesture.
The moment he raised his sword finger, the flow of time around him suddenly changed!
In the eyes of Yan Nantian, Liu Xue, and everyone in the audience, David’s movements suddenly became blurred, as if accelerated, so fast that it exceeded the limits of their divine sense!
They could only see a blurry shadow!
No, that doesn’t mean David got faster, but rather his own time sped up!
“Time acceleration!”
David recited the mantra in his heart.
Just a split second before the burly man’s fist, which was filled with time ripples and seemed capable of overturning the universe, was about to strike—in a gap in time that almost didn’t exist for ordinary people—David’s sword finger struck first, arriving albeit too late!
Instead of facing the terrifying fist force head-on, he transformed his spiritual power, which was imbued with a new understanding of time, into an extremely subtle and sophisticated “time needle”, which he aimed precisely at the area around the burly man’s fist.
The core point where the law of time fluctuates most violently, and will soon begin “coverage” and “reversal”!
“puff!”
A sound so faint that it was almost inaudible.
It’s like a needle poking a blister.
The wave of time wrapped around the burly man’s fist, which was strong enough to make any attack ineffective, vanished like a leaking balloon when it came into contact with David’s “Time Needle” which had the power to speed up time!
Those profound law fluctuations instantly became chaotic and out of control!
“What?”
The burly man’s anger was instantly replaced by unimaginable horror!
He felt like his control over time had been forcefully disrupted by the other party’s seemingly meaningless flick of a finger!
