The battle was still going on.
However, everybody could tell that even though Six Lives Buddha's attacks were fast enough to completely suppress Luo Ying, he was actually getting weaker and weaker. His attacks didn't hit Luo Ying at all; they were just wasting his energy.
There would be an end to the exhaustion!
"Your weakness …"
Luo Ying narrowed his eyes and instantly noticed a weakness in the monk's attack; it was a moment of weakness between attacks. He moved and dived, but then stopped halfway and put on a weird smile. "I was just scaring you. I won't attack you."
Once he got close enough, his opponent would have a chance to attack him while he was attacking.
Six Lives Buddha's heart became heavy when he saw Luo Ying stop abruptly. He had intentionally exposed that weakness to lure his opponent closer, but the guy didn't fall for it.
His expression didn't change at all; he kept attacking, only giving Luo Ying a chance to attack.
However, Luo Ying seemed to be very patient. He wasn't in a hurry to prove himself, even though he seemed to be in a difficult situation.
He was still waiting for an opportunity.
"This kid is too cautious!"
Many Ascendant State experts were aware of the situation and where Luo Ying could turn the tables, as well as the risks of his failure. However, they didn't expect that Luo Ying would let go of all the weaknesses that could have allowed him to win.
Naturally, the Ascendants didn't believe that the kid couldn't see through his opponent's weaknesses; he was simply stalling and exhausting his opponent because he was too cautious.
He was trying to exhaust Six Lives Buddha to death!
However, there was no time limit in the rules of the competition. While there might be unexpected variables in a life-and-death battle, there were no unexpected factors in the competition. Therefore, the constant exhaustion would eventually tip the scales.
Smart and patient!
That was what many Ascendant State experts thought of Luo Ying. After all, there had been countless geniuses since ancient times, but only the truly smart ones had survived to the end. Most of the arrogant and overconfident ones died prematurely; even the strongest masters couldn't protect them.
Phew!
Suddenly, Six Lives Buddha's movements slowed down. His expression changed; it wasn't an opening he had intentionally exposed; his body was almost fully exhausted.
But to his relief, Luo Ying was still dodging and didn't take the opportunity to attack.
His thoughts turned, and he began to create opportunities to gradually slow down his attacks.
Luo Ying was also lowering his speed. He was under less pressure when Six Lives Buddha's attacks were slowed down, and he was able to focus more on probing attacks.
Six Lives Buddha had to use his power to resist Luo Ying's attacks. The two of them seemed to be evenly matched.
However, many people could tell that Six Lives Buddha was on the verge of losing; it was obvious that he was a caged animal that couldn't break free. Luo Ying, on the other hand, was the cruel hunter who was slowly draining the last bit of strength of his prey, before devouring him, including his skin and bones.
"What a pity."
Su Jin 'er couldn't help but shake her head. Six Lives Buddha couldn't do anything to Luo Ying, and could only be slowly devoured.
Su Ping, however, observed in silence. Six Lives Buddha was undoubtedly stronger than Luo Ying in terms of head-on combat ability, but it was also a fact that he would be exhausted to death. However, was the path of time and space really like that?
As time passed.
Soon, Six Lives Buddha couldn't maintain his future selves anymore; one of them faded away. His other future self gradually faded away, as if he couldn't stay in the present time any longer.
"You can't stop me with just one future self."
Luo Ying sneered after seeing that; naturally, he wouldn't give his opponent a chance to rest. His attacks were so powerful that his opponent had to summon two future selves to resist them.
Bang!
Luo Ying suddenly dashed forward and attacked like a flash of lightning.
Six Lives Buddha's expression changed; he quickly waved his saber and fought back. However, he was shaken the moment they clashed; he was suppressed by Luo Ying's attacks even though he was only a future self at the moment!
It had to be noted that his future self was at the peak of the Star State!
Even though it was incomplete and had all kinds of secret techniques and methods that couldn't be used due to the special nature of time and space, its immense astral power was definitely at the peak of the Star State. Together with his secret techniques, he could easily suppress any Fate State warrior. However, he was almost unable to resist Luo Ying's attacks.
Luo Ying was also the best in other aspects apart from speed!
Very soon, Six Lives Buddha was wounded and forced to retreat; he had to summon his second future self.
Luo Ying, however, quickly retreated and switched to remote attacks.
Six Lives Buddha had an awful look on his face. It was truly frustrating to kite someone with the fastest constitution in the universe.
He kept attacking with the strength of his two future selves, but he still couldn't touch Luo Ying. In the end, he withdrew his second future self.
However, Luo Ying dashed forward again.
Whoosh!
His second future self, which he had just withdrawn, suddenly appeared in front of him without any warning. Both Six Lives Buddhas looked at Luo Ying, who was charging at them, with intense killing intent on their faces.
Boom!
A violent power swept out; it was obviously the same as when he was in his prime; there was no sign of exhaustion at all!
Luo Ying narrowed his eyes and flashed, trying to dodge the attack, but he was still hit. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying. He only managed to dodge Six Lives Buddha's follow-up attack by flashing quickly.
"This is impossible!"
Luo Ying looked at him in shock. "How can you still be so strong?"
Six Lives Buddha looked at Luo Ying, who had escaped from his grasp. Now that his attack had failed, it would be even more difficult to bait Luo Ying again.
"You've got the wrong person to compete with me in terms of stamina."
Six Lives Buddha looked at Luo Ying; he couldn't do anything to the guy, but the guy couldn't do anything to him either. They were in a stalemate.
Luo Ying looked at Six Lives Buddha with glittering eyes. He suddenly realized something and said in a daze, "I get it now. You didn't withdraw your second future self; you simply moved it to the next second because you knew that I would attack you. So, it would automatically appear in the next second without having to summon it again, which saved me a lot of time.
"As for your power … You're constantly summoning your future selves in other spaces to replace them!"
Six Lives Buddha didn't comment on Luo Ying's words; it would have been strange if the guy hadn't realized that.
"If one second is a space and time, you can be in your peak state all the time. You were only pretending to be weak earlier …" Luo Ying murmured to himself.
Luo Ying muttered to himself. Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Stamina? Hunting?
No way.
He could have killed anyone else in the same way, but it just so happened that his opponent was the path of time and space.
But was he going to admit defeat just like that?
That was impossible.
He hadn't lost yet; Six Lives Buddha couldn't even touch him if he wanted to.
Everybody soon quieted down. The two of them faced each other in silence, thinking of a way to deal with the other.
Time went by slowly.
When the people outside heard Luo Ying's words, they all reacted in shock.
Is the path of time and space so unbelievable? Can he summon his future selves to replace him if he's in his peak state all the time?
Doesn't it mean that it doesn't matter even if he's injured?
"Of course, it's not that easy. If he's injured, the person in the future will be injured too; he'll have to summon his future self to heal him at another time. Otherwise, he'll really be injured in the future!"
An Ascendant State expert explained in a low voice.
This was equivalent to an advance payment and an overdraft.
However, it had to be said that such a method was quite powerful.
He could simply heal his future self when he wasn't in a battle, but it would be very useful in a battle.
"That's too unbelievable. He's the most shameless of shameless people!" some of the geniuses couldn't help but exclaim, both envious and eager.
Who wouldn't like such an invincible method?
Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult to comprehend the laws of time.
"I didn't expect him to be able to hold on …"
Su Jin 'er knew that she had misjudged him. She mumbled to herself, then suddenly looked at Su Ping in shock. "How did you defeat such an unbelievable guy?"
"He was defeated as we fought," said Su Ping.
Su Jin 'er rolled her eyes and heaved a sigh. The Ascendant State experts were probably the only ones who could see how Su Ping had defeated Six Lives Buddha; the others might not be able to.
Unfortunately, her reincarnation was too weak; she might have been able to see the reason if her original self had been there.
Su Ping didn't find Six Lives Buddha's ability to be unbelievable. After all, even if he could maintain his peak state all the time, he would still be defeated if he was hit by a power that he couldn't withstand. It was a simple logic.
Unfortunately, Luo Ying didn't seem to have such a power.
If attrition didn't work, what would happen next?
Su Ping was quite curious.
On the stage —
The two of them were still confronting each other; neither of them moved.
Time seemed to have stopped.
A long time later.
A few hours passed.
A few days passed.
A week passed.
Finally.
The Ascendant State expert appeared in the sky above the void battlefield and looked at them. He had already spoken to them telepathically and received the same answer.
"I declare that the battle is a draw!
"Six Lives Buddha and Luo Ying have reached a draw!"
The Ascendant State expert's announcement shocked everyone in the silent space. However, many of them had guessed the result after a week of waiting. They weren't too surprised, but they did have mixed feelings. After all, it was rare to reach a draw in such a peak battle.
"Tomorrow, Luo Ying and Su Ping will compete for the championship!"
The Ascendant State expert spoke again, "The winner will be the king! If Su Ping loses, he will be the runner-up, and Six Lives Buddha will be the runner-up! If Su Ping wins, Luo Ying and Six Lives Buddha will be tied for second place! "
He had obviously asked the Celestial experts to make the announcement.
"They're still going to fight?"
Many people were surprised. They had thought that Su Ping would be declared the champion, but they didn't expect that the competition would continue.
Hai Tuo, Ciro and Xingyue Shen 'er were the ones who resisted the most.
They were so happy that they were trembling in excitement after hearing the Ascendant State expert's announcement. They had thought that Su Ping would be declared the champion, but they didn't see that coming.
"Why?"
"Why?"
"They're already tied. Su Ping defeated Six Lives Buddha. Why should they fight again?"
Hai Tuo couldn't help but shout.
A lot of people were whispering in space.
The Ascendant State expert casually looked at Hai Tuo's warship and said indifferently, "Luo Ying and Six Lives Buddha are evenly matched. However, the same can't be said for Luo Ying and Su Ping. I don't need to explain the reason; you just need to understand it."
As soon as he said this, many people quieted down.
After all, the Ascendant State expert was a famous Heavenly Lord!
He was just that domineering. You had to fight when you were told to. Why?
Hai Tuo's face turned purple; he gritted his teeth, but he held back in the end.
He knew that it was the Celestials' decision. Otherwise, not even a Heavenly Lord would have the right to change the rules.
Besides, he also knew that Luo Ying and Six Lives Buddha were evenly matched. If Luo Ying were to fight Su Ping, the two of them would probably lose due to their different abilities!
It was even possible that Luo Ying could defeat Su Ping.
After all, some things were mutually restrained; Luo Ying might just be able to suppress Su Ping.
That was why he was unconvinced and worried.
"Are you confident?" Su Jin 'er instantly turned around and looked at Su Ping.
After all, his opponent was the fastest in the universe. Even though Su Ping had defeated Six Lives Buddha, it was hard to say if he would win against Luo Ying. That battle had also shown how horrifying Luo Ying was.
"I'm fine," said Su Ping ambiguously.
After all, being too straightforward would make him more hated. He couldn't say that he was basically fine, could he?
"…"
Su Jin 'er was at a loss for words. Su Ping was obviously very confident.
So, can he really do it?
She had a weird look in her eyes when she thought that the young man next to her would become the king of geniuses in the universe. It wouldn't take long for him to be on par with her original self once he grew up.
"Junior brother, it seems that you have another battle ahead of you. Do your best."
At that moment, You Long flew over and chuckled.
He didn't really care about such an outcome. After all, as a Heavenly Lord, he used to be a proud man; one more battle was nothing to him. He wouldn't be scared of any challenge if he was truly capable!
"Yes, I will." Su Ping nodded.
Su Ping instantly left with him and continued his training.
After a short day of training, Su Ping's small world was almost fully condensed. He then moved on to the second Astral Painting.
The second Astral Painting was named Eight Nine Astral Painting. Once it was condensed, he would be able to gather astral power inside his body, which would significantly improve his control over his body and allow him to change his limbs at will. His attacks would be even weirder and more unpredictable!
