Colonial Suit

His body instantly transformed into a flowing wind, but the voice of Heck flashed through Xue Tong's mind. ﹛ (～ o ～)y﹜

“The reason why Planetary ranks are powerful is because we possess Source Cores, which are Source Points. Through Source Points, we can influence energy and create many unimaginable effects. So don't blindly believe in normal physical laws. From the beginning, you must learn how to fight under the influence of a Planetary rank.”

“First, you must break the '势' (Shì - roughly translated as 'momentum' or 'influence') of a Planetary rank.”

“This '势' is different from the Battle '势' you once mastered. It is a kind of integration and modification of the environment. A good Planetary rank can silently envelop the battlefield with '势', forming a unique home-field advantage. The most common manifestation is 'Phase Shift.' This is an extremely simple yet effective trick. By integrating into the sub-space, the Planetary rank cannot be perceived, nor can it be directly attacked. It is almost an unsolvable problem for those below the Planetary rank.” (Note: A common method Heck uses to deal with Xue Tong)

“But almost unsolvable does not mean truly unsolvable. Most people cannot break the Phase Shift because this trick involves the use of sub-space and anti-space. Before you can physically penetrate the sub-space, even if you know how to break it, you can't. So, to break this '势', the first thing you must do is tear open the space barrier and transmit your mental perception into the sub-space. Only in this way can you truly capture his position and attack.”

“Secondly, you must learn to distinguish between truth and falsehood.”

“Because of the influence of '势', most Planetary ranks have abnormal physical laws around them during combat. Some of them are real modifications, and some are methods to confuse the enemy. You must learn to shield your eyes and ears, and your senses of touch and smell, and fight only with intuition. Don't panic when faced with incomprehensible phenomena. Accurately find the point that is real and attack. As long as you interfere with the spatial energy, his '势' will be full of flaws and eventually be torn apart.”

“Again… and most importantly. You must improve the quality of your energy to reach the Planetary energy level.”

“I know this is very dangerous for you, but you must remember that the Planetary energy level is the most famous symbol of a Planetary rank, and it is also the essence that distinguishes us from ordinary warriors. Absolute Planetary energy will suppress all warriors below the Planetary rank. In other words, if you can't reach the Planetary energy level, you don't even have the qualifications to hurt him. And the vital Source Core of a Planetary rank can only be captured and damaged by Planetary energy. This is the prerequisite for you to fight him. If you can't achieve this, you will have absolutely no hope of victory.”

“Finally… I want to congratulate you. Your luck is good. Kells is a rare manipulation-type mercenary. His strength among the Nine Star Shattering Kings is both the weakest and the strongest. It mainly depends on whether he has time to build his Underworld Channel. So at the beginning of the battle, when he asks you to choose to weaken his strength, you must not choose to weaken it. Instead, give him a 100% strength quota. Because only in this way will his abilities be restricted by the Inter-Core Examination, and he will not be able to use destruction techniques and weaken all ability effects. This part is a law set by the Star level, and even he cannot break it.”

“Remember… you must choose 100%, because for Kells, his 100% is 50%!!”

Heck's words were still ringing in his ears when Xue Tong appeared behind Kells like a storm. His short hair fluttered wildly as he suddenly lowered his waist and threw a punch.

Chaotic Wind!!

With a loud bang, countless shockwaves suddenly erupted. A series of sonic booms echoed through the sky, as dense as a rainstorm. This was the speed of breaking the sound barrier, causing Xue Tong's fist wind to even stir up a ground storm, blowing everything around him away. In almost an instant, the building closest to them caved in, a large pit blown out by Xue Tong's fist wind.

But this was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that, along with Xue Tong's Chaotic Wind, his body even became blurred, and there were faint spatial distortions. An unprecedented aura burst out from his body, like a monster descending into the void.

What a terrifying aura… even a mere touch would be enough to instantly collapse a Meteor rank! Its power and majesty were like those of a demon in mythology, cruel and ruthless.

“Huh!?” Kells's expression changed slightly, but he didn't panic. He took a step and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already on the roof of a building a thousand meters away.

Phase Shift!!

This technique of using sub-space is unsolvable before one can penetrate sub-space. In fact, Planetary ranks are best at using sub-space to accomplish many unimaginable feats. Kells was no exception.

In just a moment, Xue Tong's Chaotic Wind passed through his original location and attacked a building opposite. With a series of loud bangs, the building was blown apart in the middle, countless fragments mixed with half of the building being blown away by the fist wind, the momentum was extremely terrifying!

At the same time, Kells said in surprise, “Unexpectedly… you've already ignited?”

“You have indeed entered the Meteor rank! But at your speed, how long will it take to ignite to the Planetary energy level? How long can you last? You are courting death!!”

Before he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and pointed to the sky.

“In the name of the great Lord of the Underworld, Kells! Connect the false and the real space, release the spirits of blood and flesh, soul and spirit! Gate of Another Dimension… open for me!!”

Gate of Another Dimension!!!

Hearing these words, Xue Tong's heart sank, and he felt the hairs on his body stand on end. This was not fear, but a sense of impending danger. As Kells pointed, the sky above his head suddenly twisted, and a barely perceptible black dot appeared. The black dot quickly expanded and rotated, spreading like a living thing, and in less than two seconds, it had expanded into a huge, unparalleled hole. Black mist spread from it, and a fishy smell permeated the air.

This was the Gate of Another Dimension, Kells's most famous ability. He could create a space channel in sub-space to connect himself to his Underworld Star, releasing countless combat puppets and blood spirits! In just a few breaths, he could submerge a country or even a planet! The weakest of these combat puppets were also of the Meteor rank, and when tens of thousands of them gathered together, it was simply a nightmare for any enemy.

It could be said that this was why Kells was called the weakest and the strongest! If he was given time, his combat puppet army would even make Heck feel棘手(jíshǒu - troublesome). This shows how overbearing this ability was. Unfortunately, because Xue Tong chose 100% unconstrained, the space channel that he could originally open in an instant was forcibly extended to more than five seconds.

“Hmph!!”

In a flash of lightning, Xue Tong disappeared from his original location again. Because his speed was too fast, a sonic boom actually exploded in place. His figure could no longer be captured.

With his speed, he wouldn't even need a fraction of a second to cover a thousand meters. Xue Tong was confident that he could stop the other party.

But at this moment, the most surprising thing happened to Xue Tong.

He was clearly lunging forward. But as soon as he moved, the huge black hole moved further away from him. It was as if he was moving backward. This diametrically opposed feeling drove Xue Tong crazy. Moreover, not only that, but in this ten-thousandth of a second, he even felt that the whole world was beginning to become huge, while he was becoming tiny.

This is!?

Xue Tong was shocked. This was '势' (Shì - influence)!! Kells's '势'! Could it be that he had been unknowingly affected by him?

His body suddenly stopped in mid-air. When Xue Tong looked around again, everything had indeed changed. It was not that the surroundings had become larger, but that his body had been reduced to the size of an ant. He was almost imperceptible in this incredibly complex city. A gust of wind came, almost blowing Xue Tong into the air.

What a bizarre environment this was! At first, Xue Tong thought it was an illusion, but after he touched a flight of stairs, he realized that this was not an illusion, but that he had really become smaller. Everything around him was so huge and indestructible to him.

Then, he felt a dizzying sensation, and the whole world turned upside down. He was suspended in the air, with the huge Gate of Another Dimension below him, and the city was upside down above his head. That eerie feeling was like he had arrived in a world without laws.

In an instant, Heck's words came to Xue Tong's mind. “You must remember that in Planetary rank battles, the surrounding physical laws are abnormal. You must learn to distinguish between truth and falsehood.”

Distinguish… truth and falsehood?

Xue Tong thought silently, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. At the same time, he closed his eyes, shielding all his senses.

Vision, shielded.

Hearing, shielded.

Touch, shielded.

Smell, shielded.

In just one-thousandth of a second, Xue Tong had turned himself into a blind and deaf person, plunging into an absolutely dark vacuum. In this state, all his senses were closed, leaving only his beast-like intuition. Unconsciously, Xue Tong could no longer perceive the strangeness of the outside world, but instead saw things that looked like threads.

Those were the energy trajectories changed by Kells!! Only those at the Planetary rank could perceive this level, and only Xue Tong's keen intuition could understand it slightly. Those threads appeared and disappeared, impossible to capture, let alone destroy. But that was no longer important to Xue Tong. What was important was that, in that instant, he had found what he wanted.

Truth!!

“Hiyah…” Lowering his head, Xue Tong took a deep breath and let out a low roar that even he couldn't control. In an instant, rolling black flames erupted from his entire body, expanding wildly into the surrounding space.

Silently, black lines appeared on his exposed skin, like inexplicable symbols or tattoos.

When he opened his eyes again, Xue Tong's pupils had completely turned purplish-red!!

Terrible purplish-red!!

The next moment, he suddenly rushed forward, gathering the strength of his whole body, carrying the raging black flames. He threw a punch!!

“Get out of my way!!”

Only a thunderous sound was heard, and everything in front of him shattered, with countless dense cracks appearing. Then, as if breaking through the most solid barrier between heaven and earth, he rushed into the void.

Fist force… penetrates…

Sub-space!! (To be continued…)
