Chapter 2202: Spacetime Prison!

Wang Chong didn’t even need to use his full strength. All he did at the moment of impact was open a passage to the depths of spacetime. More than half of that terrifying ball of lightning was drained into the spacetime passage, and Wang Chong was able to disperse the rest of the energy.
A power that was intended to be used on mortal dynasties would not necessarily be effective on a Grotto Heaven expert.
Buzz!
In a flash of light, the Inextinguishable Lightning Talisman winked out of existence while it was still tens of thousands of feet from the ground.
That terrifying strike had come and gone so quickly that the battlefield was eerily silent for a few moments.
Bang!
A heaven-shaking cheer came from the Great Tang side.
“King of Foreign Lands!”
“King of Foreign Lands!”
The cheers resounded through the world.
Crown Prince’s Junior Guardian Wang Zhongsi, Tongluo Great General Abusi, former Andong Protector-General Zhang Shougui, and Sassanid Great General Bahram all sighed in relief.
Though they served under the same country as Wang Chong and had an extremely close relationship with him, not even they knew about this secret of his.
Although Wang Chong had several clones, only one had ever appeared before all of them, and they had only learned about the clones when they had appeared.
As for this last Wang Chong, though he had been in the fortress this whole time, none of them had ever noticed his existence.
Without Wang Chong, Genesis Supreme would have dealt unthinkable damage to the army.
“Brat, you’re seeking death!”
No one was more shocked than Genesis Supreme by the disappearance of the massive sphere of destructive lightning.
In the battle of the capital, Wang Chong’s strength had still been puny to a god like Genesis Supreme. Wang Chong had been able to destroy his physical body purely because of that Xiangliu Formation that Li Taiyi had left behind.
From a certain perspective, the one who had destroyed his physical body was not Wang Chong, but Li Taiyi.
But after a parting of three days, a gentleman had to be looked at in a new light. He had never imagined that Wang Chong would be able to comprehend the laws of spacetime and advance to the Grotto Heaven realm in the space of a few months.
But even so, Genesis Supreme was an existence who had lived for thousands of years, a god. He remained confident that Wang Chong, who had only recently broken into the Grotto Heaven realm, was no match for him.
Bang!
Genesis Supreme fiercely punched, and a moment later, golden-white Halos of Spacetime appeared, filling the air for tens of thousands of feet around him. These tens of thousands of Halos of Spacetime were packed with destructive spacetime energy that could strike fear into anyone.
Buzz!
His eyes coldly flashed as those dazzling Halos of Spacetime shot at Wang Chong as if they had lives of their own.
These almost tangible Halos of Spacetime constantly resonated with power, and they were constantly changing shape as they wrapped themselves around Wang Chong’s limbs and torso. With a single thought from Genesis Supreme, the golden-white Halos of Spacetime formed a three-dimensional formation with Wang Chong as its core.
“An apprentice trying to show off to a master!”
Although Wang Chong had achieved astonishing progress, he had only shown the most basic ability to control spacetime. There was a large gap between him and someone like Genesis Supreme, who had spent many years in the Grotto Heaven realm.
Spacetime Prison!
This was a ‘prison’ that Genesis Supreme had constructed from tens of thousands of Halos of Spacetime, a power unique to Genesis Supreme. Through the terrifying crushing and slicing properties of the Halo of Spacetime, he could tear his foes into tiny bits. This was one of the terrifying aspects of Genesis Supreme’s technique.
Those caught in Genesis Supreme’s Spacetime Prison would end up not leaving behind even the smallest sliver of flesh.
The Power of Spacetime was extremely complex, and it was no easy task to so precisely control Halos of Spacetime in such a small area. A great burden was placed on the user. Yet Genesis Supreme did it as easily as breathing.
This was one of the main reasons Genesis Supreme was ranked near the top of the Supremes.
Buzz!
But as those golden-white Halos of Spacetime converged on Wang Chong, he smiled and extended his right index finger, upon which an invisible energy began to radiate out from him.
Boom! Time seemed to stop as those Halos of Spacetime suddenly froze in the air, seemingly colliding with some invisible barrier.
“Genesis Supreme, you couldn’t kill me back then, let alone now!”
Wang Chong softly chuckled as he spoke to Genesis Supreme, and before Genesis Supreme could react, he fiercely punched.
“Mortal World Manifestation!”
As a thunderous voice bellowed, spacetime ripples on par with Genesis Supreme’s erupted from Wang Chong’s right fist.
With a mighty bang, countless images began to appear behind Wang Chong: houses, pavilions, livestock, villages, birds, stars… All of these images overlapped on Wang Chong’s right fist, transforming into countless dark golden Halos of Spacetime. These Halos of Spacetime took on a bizarre form that Genesis Supreme had never seen in all of his long life, and with one strike, they shattered Genesis Supreme’s Spacetime Prison.
The golden-white halos that were assaulting Wang Chong began to shatter in twos and threes before they could even get close.
“Impossible!”
Genesis Supreme trembled in shock. Not even Wang Chong’s obliteration of the Inextinguishable Lightning Talisman had shocked him this much.
“What technique is this?”
At Genesis Supreme’s level, one possessed an inextinguishable soul, and physical bodies became like sets of clothes. But never in his long, long life had he witnessed such a bizarre sight.
It was possible to trace the learning paths of all Grotto Heaven realm experts. No—to be more precise, the Celestial God Organization was the forebear of all martial arts. Even someone as strong and talented as Li Xuantu had been at a disadvantage against Genesis Supreme.
But Wang Chong’s ability had completely overturned his understanding of the world. It was completely unlike any of the numerous techniques of the Celestial God Organization. Houses, pavilions, livestock, villages… what were these?
Genesis Supreme had not seen any Grotto Heaven realm expert manifest these things when they were using their abilities. It would be different if this were some worthless ability, but he happened to sense enormous potential in Wang Chong, a potential that left him deeply apprehensive.
Wang Chong had been in the Grotto Heaven realm for two months at most. If he had this level of strength right after breaking through, then once he was able to more thoroughly study it, not even Genesis Supreme dared to imagine how strong he would turn out!
But Genesis Supreme quickly got ahold of himself.
“If he’s not killed now, he will be a major problem in the future!”
An unprecedented killing intent welled up in Genesis Supreme’s mind.
Mortal dynasties, from their lofty sovereigns to their meek subjects, were all nothing but ants in the eyes of ‘gods’.
‘Gods’ were able to control the people precisely because there had never been a mortal dynasty that could oppose the gods.
There had already been one Li Taiyi. A second could not be permitted.
“Seeking death!”
With a furious roar and a flash of light, Genesis Supreme stepped on a golden-white Halo of Spacetime and disappeared. A split-second later, Genesis Supreme appeared in his divine and majestic armor right in front of Wang Chong and punched at his face.
Bang!
The punch carried so much force that the fabric of spacetime crumbled. And this time, Genesis Supreme’s fist had been infused with formidable spacetime energy that sealed the surrounding spacetime.
Only Grotto Heaven experts could deal with Grotto Heaven experts!
No one understood this more than Genesis Supreme. Pure strength could not threaten Wang Chong.
But to Genesis Supreme’s surprise, Wang Chong made no attempt to dodge.
“You came at just the right time! Genesis Supreme, we will see which one of us is better on this day!”
Wang Chong’s voice rang out through the world.
Boom! Wang Chong harnessed all his strength and punched back, his fist colliding with Genesis Supreme’s.
At the moment of impact, Wang Chong felt like he had punched a steel mountain, but a moment later, he unleashed a strength that was just as terrifying.
Boomboomboom!
A massive shockwave rippled out from the point of impact, sending howling winds tearing through the battlefield. Hundreds of warhorses neighed in fright as they were swept off their feet and flung several hundred feet away.
After this exchange, Wang Chong and Genesis Supreme immediately broke away from each other.
“Twenty percent! No, only a gap of ten percent! This fight is winnable!”
Wang Chong’s eyes shone with a dazzling light.
Through this simple exchange of punches, Wang Chong had been immediately able to determine the gap between him and Genesis Supreme.
The Celestial God Organization had a long history and formidable strength. Trying to fight against an ancient existence at peak power like Genesis Supreme would not be easy, but Wang Chong estimated that the gap in power was very small, even almost negligible.
At the Grotto Heaven realm, where shifts in spacetime became involved, superior strength was no longer as effective.
Experts at this level already possessed godly levels of strength. Match-ups here were more about contests of laws.
