After Cave Era was defeated, no Guardian challenged Ya again. Time ticked by until there was only one second left in the ranking battle's countdown. Finally, another Guardian challenged Ya.
"Indeed, a half-human like Ya won't easily obtain first place." Zhang Chunqiu looked at the cube and sighed.
"Even Cave Era, which has the power of time, was defeated. Are there any Guardians with powers stronger than time?" Zhang Yuzhi asked in puzzlement.
Zhang Chunqiu smiled and said, "Time is indeed a very powerful attribute. In theory, time and space should be considered top powers among the various attributes. However, at that realm, attributes aren't the most important. The strength of skills is no longer an important criterion for determining combat strength. "
"Then how do we tell who's strong and who's weak?" Zhang Yuzhi asked.
"It depends on whose willpower is stronger, whose intelligence is deeper, and whose on-the-spot performance is better. At that stage, there are only weak people and no weak abilities. Any ability, even if it looks weak, can become the key to victory as long as it's used properly. " Zhang Chunqiu paused for a moment before adding, "Of course, this is when the difference in strength isn't too great. If the difference in strength is too great, it's another matter. However, Ya's strength and abilities should be at the top on Earth. It's impossible for a power that can suppress him to appear on Earth. "
"Why can't it appear? Didn't you say that there's a stronger Calamity-grade above the Terror-grade?" Zhang Yuzhi remained puzzled.
"A Calamity-grade can naturally crush a Terror-grade, but there are only two possibilities for a Calamity-grade to appear on Earth. One is the descent of a Calamity-grade expert from a dimension. However, when a Calamity-grade expert from a dimension descends, they will be restricted by Earth's laws. It's impossible for them to unleash Calamity-grade strength. If they forcefully use Calamity-grade strength, they might even be struck down to the Mythical stage by the laws. "
Zhang Chunqiu organized his words and continued, "There's another possibility. After a Guardian contracts with a human, they can borrow the human's body to advance to the Calamity-grade. The Guardians born in this era have had too little time. Not to mention advancing to the Calamity grade, there aren't even a few at the Terror grade. Therefore, if a calamity appears on Earth, the only possibility is that a Calamity-grade Guardian has survived the previous war. "
"Like the one in our Fiend Tomb?" Zhang Yuzhi asked.
Zhang Chunqiu didn't answer and continued, "However, although the Guardians who were lucky enough to survive the war in the past were extremely powerful, the humans who contracted them couldn't live that long. After leaving the humans, their strength was once again suppressed by Earth's rules. Even if they have Calamity-grade strength, it's impossible for them to use it on Earth unless they contract with humans again."
"There are so many humans on Earth. It shouldn't be difficult to find a contractor, right?" Zhang Yuzhi said after thinking about it.
"It's not that easy. There must be some kind of restriction. Otherwise, do you think that the one in our family doesn't want to come out?" Zhang Chunqiu smiled and said, "In short, from the looks of it, Ya still has a chance. As long as he can survive the next single-dimensional challenge, he might become the final victor."
"Brother, do you wish for Ya to win or for him to lose?" Zhang Yuzhi blinked and asked.
"From my standpoint, I hope he wins, but his chances aren't high," Zhang Chunqiu answered strangely.
The person challenging Ya was a Guardian named Jiuyue. It was a very unfamiliar name. He hadn't appeared on the rankings before, so no one knew what abilities he had.
After the battle began, they immediately knew what ability he had because the characteristics of his ability were too obvious.
Teleportation. He constantly teleported. Ya's continuous attacks failed to touch a corner of Jiuyue's clothes.
However, Jiuyue had no intention of counterattacking. When Ya attacked, he would teleport and dodge. When Ya didn't attack, he wouldn't move. Instead of saying that he was fighting, it looked more like he was stalling for time.
Ya didn't launch any meaningless attacks as he directly entered his Terror form. His body transformed into a shadow of light, but Jiuyue could also transform into his Terror form. After his Terror form, he vanished even more decisively than Ya.
However, Jiuyue, who had transformed into his Terror form, still had no intention of counterattacking. He continued dodging. Now, everyone could tell that Jiuyue was stalling for time, but they didn't understand why he was stalling for time.
"What is Jiuyue trying to do? It doesn't make sense if he wants to expend Ya's Essence Energy. His teleportation consumes more Essence Energy than Ya's, "Xia Xuanyue said in thought as she looked at the cube's screen.
Xia Liuchuan looked at the screen and said with a frown, "I have an ominous feeling. I'm afraid this battle for first place won't end so easily."
"Why do you say that?" Xia Xuanyue asked in puzzlement.
"I don't know. It's just a feeling." Xia Liuchuan shook his head slightly, but his expression was somewhat solemn.
Just as Xia Xuanyue had said, Jiuyue's constant teleportation in his Terror form drained him much more than Ya's. If the battle continued, Ya would definitely win.
However, Ya didn't continue attacking. He stopped and left his Terror form. He sat down in the arena and placed Primordial Immortal Sword on his lap.
"Why aren't you fighting?" Jiuyue also left his Terror form and asked Ya in puzzlement.
"Don't you need time to prepare to deal with me? I'll give you time, "Ya said indifferently.
Jiuyue looked at Ya with a complicated expression. "You know that I need time to deal with you. Why don't you defeat me as soon as possible? If you are fast enough, you might be able to avoid a lot of trouble. "
"Trouble will always come. Besides, I'm not afraid of trouble," Ya said.
"You won't regret it?" Jiuyue asked Ya.
"People aren't born to regret, but to do what they want to do," Ya answered.
Jiuyue looked at Ya and sighed. "If I had met you earlier, perhaps we could have become friends."
"We won't be friends. I've long stopped making friends," Ya said.
"Why?" Jiuyue asked Ya in a daze.
"Because I only have one life. I have too many friends to share," Ya answered.
Jiuyue didn't say another word when he heard that. All he did was look at Ya silently. After a moment, Jiuyue said, "If you attack now and can defeat me in fifteen minutes, you will still have a chance."
Ya had no intention of moving. He continued sitting there with his eyes closed. Jiuyue looked at him and asked, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"No, I believe you are telling the truth," Ya said with certainty.
"Then why aren't you fighting?" Jiuyue asked curiously.
"Because I don't want to have you as a friend, so I won't take anything that belongs to you," Ya said.
Jiuyue looked at Ya with a strange expression. After a while, he wanted to say something, but his expression suddenly changed. He glanced at the void and sighed. "It's too late now."
In the void, a beam of light descended and illuminated the entire cube arena.
