I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Therefore, the greater the intensity of motion in the object she focused on, the shorter the duration of its stillness would become.

If she were to use this ability on the planet beneath her feet, then Earth Star would indeed fall into stillness, stopping its rotation and revolution for a moment... for a span of time only slightly longer than Planck time, after which Xu Wenkui would collapse on the spot, her consciousness shattering from the excessive burden.

But at this moment, the object of her gaze was not a grand celestial body, but a mere human, an underage human at that!

She had also taken the Leader of Dragon Sect's advice and hadn't used an inhibitor for several hours, her physical mutation had soared, and the compatibility with her eyes had increased, allowing her to tap into a much higher limit of their potential.

Even if this youth was powerful and exaggerated, she should be able to halt him for at least ten or twenty seconds, right?

All that was needed next was for everyone to launch an attack together, and then she would release her ability just before the attack was about to reach the youth. He would die on the spot or, at the very least, be seriously injured and unable to move for some time—

That's how it should have been.

"Hm?"

Having regained his ability to think in less than a second of stillness, Xue Jing immediately noticed a rather abrupt change in the positions of everyone around him, with many people now very close to him.

His thought process was incredibly fast, and having read many stories with huge 'brain holes', he immediately realized that this could be a capability akin to 'erased time'.

Considering only the people around him had moved and not himself, it likely meant that he was the only one who experienced 'erased time'.

The inexplicable prompt that popped up on his panel, along with the sudden addition of 23 points of Divinity, left him somewhat confused, but a guess began to form in his mind.

But there was no time to verify it, as he immediately circulated his Power and swung the Zhao Ye Blade in his hand with a backhand stroke.

"Swoosh—!!"

A giant blade light of platinum color slashed forth, instantly bisecting more than a dozen people who were close to him at the waist, their blood and organs spilling into the air, turning into a rain of blood and flesh, with piercing screams unceasing to the ear.

How powerful he was at this moment, wielding a blade, a casual swing was an attack of the magnitude of a big move, and the advantage in numbers was as laughable as ants charging at an elephant.

Xu Wenkui's expression changed drastically, "What is going on!?"

Her spirit had not suffered backlash, and it didn't feel like her stillness was forcibly broken by a powerful force; it felt more like... the sensation of a phone call being disconnected, as if her ability was abruptly interrupted, losing connection.

"Miss Xu!?"

The Sect Hierarch of the Dragon Cult revealed a puzzled look.

Xu Wenkui ignored him and instead, her gaze sharpened as she glared at Xue Jing, continuing to activate the Eye of Silent Netherworld Nest.

However, the result was the same as before, in less than a second, Xue Jing broke free from the stillness, reacted swiftly, and unleashed two blade lights that killed dozens.

The stench of blood under the shine of the sun cast numerous shadows upon each other.

Countless black streams of energy were drawn from the shadows, converging upon him, forming the Shadowflame Wrap Armor that was as black as a black hole around his body, blocking numerous bullets fired at him.

The only part of his body visibly exposed, his silver-white pupils, shifted slightly. Seeing another 20 or so points of Divinity suddenly added to his panel, Xue Jing had a moment of realization.

This must be a special attack that contained Divinity, which Ban had just happened to counter!

Ban... had manifested!

"It doesn't work... The Eye of Silent Netherworld Nest doesn't affect him."

Xu Wenkui spoke quickly.

"Change to combat mode B!"

The Sect Hierarch of the Dragon Cult nodded solemnly.

He stretched out his hands toward Xue Jing.

Then, from the wide sleeves on both sides of him, suddenly numerous serpents of various shapes shot out.

All the serpents grew longer and larger, almost in the blink of an eye they became as thick as water buckets and tens of meters long, with their mouths open, biting towards Xue Jing.

Xue Jing remained unmoved, floating in place, his indifferent gaze fixed on the attacking giant snakes, simply extending the index finger of his left hand to point.

Six meters in front of him, in the void, a rift split open, numerous thick black tendrils extended from the crack, colliding with the charging giant snakes.

"Bang bang bang bang—"

Wood chips flew about, snake blood spilled everywhere, and countless snake scales scattered in all directions.

"What is this ability!?"

The youth named Xu Muchun widened his eyes and exclaimed in shock.

An ancient giant sword, amidst chaos, flew out from an invisible gap.

Xue Jing extended his hand as if forming a sword gesture, pointing at Xu Wenkui.

The Forgotten Greatsword immediately accelerated, emitting a roar close to a sonic boom, and shot towards her at high speed.

"Impossible!"

Xu Muchun immediately stepped forward, opened his arms, and blocked between the Giant Sword and Xu Wenkui.

Xue Jing looked indifferent. Just as the Forgotten Greatsword was about to hit Xu Muchun, with a flick of his sword gesture, the Forgotten Greatsword, with agility that completely betrayed its cumbersome appearance, swiftly curved around him and attacked Xu Wenkui.

"What!?"

The tip of the Giant Sword fiercely stabbed into Xu Wenkui's neck. With over two thousand kilograms of mass and near-sonic speed, the terrifying kinetic energy should have crushed her like tofu.

But when the Forgotten Greatsword hit her, it was as if it had struck an incomparably hard and heavily divine iron, being directly knocked back over a hundred meters away.

"Hmm?"

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

In that instant, he saw it clearly... just as the Forgotten Greatsword was about to hit Xu Wenkui, her entire body instantly froze in place, without a millimeter of tremor.

After the Forgotten Greatsword hit her, it too didn't tremble in the slightest and was directly repelled... This was physically impossible.

Even if a mountain were compressed to human size and stood there, the Forgotten Greatsword hitting it would not leave it without even the slightest tremor.

'Self time freeze? Invincible state?'

Xue Jing was thinking about going over to test what was happening when six figures in black robes attacked him simultaneously from all around.

He didn't take them too seriously, and with a swing of his Zhao Ye Blade, he intended to kill all six at once.

But when the blade struck the first figure, an extremely huge reactive force came upon him, bouncing the blade off.

And that person was unscathed, not even their clothes were torn.

"I see... a troublesome ability."

Xue Jing slightly frowned as he faced the simultaneous attacks from six figures. His long blade constantly parried and hacked but was repelled every time it struck an opponent, as if they had all activated invincibility.

He understood that Xu Wenkui's eyes possessed an ability akin to 'Time Freeze', capable of locking all material movement of a targeted individual in a static state by mere gaze.

Objects in a static state maintained absolute constancy, similar to The Blade That Never Dulls' characteristic of Eternal Indestructibility, beyond external interference, essentially amounting to invincibility. Therefore, any level of attack was futile.

The result was that, although they were merely six fodder that Xue Jing could have killed with a single slash, they were fighting him to a standstill with invincible physiques as if equals.

"Then, how about this?"

Xue Jing thought for a while, then snapped his fingers.

Black streams of air converged in the air, transformed into dark Shadow Flame, and spread into a wide, black wall, cutting off Xu Wenkui's line of sight.

Xu Wenkui's gaze shifted slightly.

"Very clever... but useless."

As the long blade was repelled again, Xue Jing realized that those eyes had a rather special field of vision, either an unstoppable x-ray vision or a 'God's eye view' that overlooked everything.

Considering that she could also use her ability on herself, it was probably closer to a 'God's eye view'.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for not fighting fair."

Xue Jing flung his Zhao Ye Blade away, reverting to unarmed combat.

Then, he threw a punch at one of the figures in front of him.

Just as he was about to hit the target, his gaze flashed, seeing the figure's body enter a state of stasis; he immediately spread his fist into an open palm and pressed it onto the figure's shoulder.

[Divinity detected, absorbing...]

[Divine Absorption complete]

Looking at the confused fodder who had exited the static state, Xue Jing smiled.
