521: Fair fight

However, Day Tiger surely knew this as well; it was just unknown what methods he possessed to dare to be so arrogant in front of Lin Tianwei.

Facing Lin Tianwei’s refusal, Day Tiger showed no surprise.

He could be said to know Lin Tianwei like the back of his hand, as they were, in essence, the same existence.

For this fair battle, Day Tiger had waited for an immensely long time, even preparing for it since countless years ago.

So, the moment Lin Tianwei questioned him, Day Tiger produced a bargaining chip, one sufficient to move Lin Tianwei.

The aura of the Law of Time!

Day Tiger pulled out some black sand that looked ordinary but shimmered with faint silver divine light.

Upon careful perception, Lin Tianwei actually felt a strong aura of the Law of Time from the black sand in Day Tiger’s hand.

Without beating around the bush, Day Tiger directly explained the function of the black sand, saying:

"This is the sand of time, originating from the River of Time, a supreme treasure of heaven and earth capable of controlling time."

"The usage of the sand of time is also extremely simple; using just a little can buy oneself tens of thousands, even hundreds of millions of times more time."

Although it was just a simple two-sentence explanation, it crudely and directly clarified the function of the sand of time, making Lin Tianwei realize its terrifying power.

This was definitely a supreme treasure that could buy him more time!

And for Lin Tianwei, time had always been the most lacking thing.

It was precisely because of too little time that Lin Tianwei’s strength had stagnated, stuck at the Universe Master level, unable to advance an inch.

If he could possess infinite time like those God-Kings, relying on Lin Tianwei’s Talent potential, he might have long ago achieved the status of a true God-King.

Rather than, as he was now, only being able to obtain power comparable to a God-King through manipulating the remnants of the Mechanical God-King, in this extremely unconventional manner.

Most importantly, Day Tiger produced an enormous amount of sand of time, so much that it made Lin Tianwei’s eyes burn with desire.

With Day Tiger adding so much sand of time to the stakes, the chips on both sides seemed to begin to equalize.

As if afraid Lin Tianwei wouldn’t agree, Day Tiger continued to persuade him:

"Time is very cheap for other Cosmic Beasts, as what they love to do most is waste time."

"But for you, time is more important than any other resource."

"Because you are simply too young, excessively young."

"Furthermore, the Origin Universe doesn't have much time left for you to continue developing peacefully."

"You might not know, but the Origin Universe is about to end."

Day Tiger was indeed an existence who had lived for hundreds of millions of years; in an instant, he revealed another great secret.

Seeing that Lin Tianwei seemed somewhat interested, Day Tiger continued to explain:

"The relationship between the Origin Universe and the Chaos Universe is like the black and white in a Tai Chi Eight Trigrams, opposing each other, yet complementary and mutually fulfilling."

"Under normal circumstances, the two could coexist harmoniously for a very long time through this symbiotic relationship."

"It’s just a pity that the two great universes have existed for too long; what appears calm now has actually long entered a period of decline."

"Unless one can completely devour the other and gain a large replenishment of the Universe’s Origin, otherwise, only destruction awaits the two great universes."

At this point, Day Tiger let out another silent sigh, saying, "Those Cosmic Beasts are still too foolish, so foolish as to give up a Chance for their own universe to survive for some petty gains."

"Even if you broke the balance of the Alien Battlefield, they could, under the guise of 'the bigger picture,' hand the scales of victory back from their own hands; they are truly as stupid as pigs."

"Therefore, the final battle will inevitably be a battle between God-Kings; at that time, the destruction of the universe and the changing of heaven and earth will be a very normal occurrence."

"At that time, if you want to find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion, comprehend what you’ve gained throughout your life, and break through to the true God-King level, you will no longer have such an opportunity."

As he said this, Day Tiger’s eyes suddenly looked into the infinite distance, as if he had already foreseen that distant and unknown battle, and sighed:

"The God-Kings have already begun preparations; in ten years at most, this battle will erupt."

"Which means, under normal circumstances, you only have ten years!"

Ten years!

This keyword made Lin Tianwei unable to help but take it seriously; even for Lin Tianwei, ten years was but a fleeting moment, not worth mentioning.

Although he prided himself on his intelligence and Talent surpassing beasts, it was impossible for him to complete the transformation from a Body of Talents to a Law Body within ten years.

He must obtain the sand of time in Day Tiger’s hand!

Thinking this, the mecha on Lin Tianwei’s body actually began to peel away on its own, revealing his true form, a true form with only the peak strength of a Universe Master, and he said:

"Clearly, you have presented a bargaining chip I cannot refuse."

"Since that is the case, I am willing to have a fair fight with you."

"Our strengths are both Universe Masters, so this cannot be considered me bullying the weak, or bullying an old senior who is trillions of years old."

"Come on, fight me."

"Since you are so eager to die, let me mercifully satisfy this peculiar habit of yours."

Even with equal strength, even if the opponent was an old monster trillions of years old, Lin Tianwei did not think he would lose in the slightest.

Lin Tianwei, possessing the Heart of the Beast, had long since gained the confidence to defeat anything!

No sooner had he spoken than a golden light, representing the Beast King Domain, was released from Lin Tianwei’s body, covering the entire Day Tiger’s palace.

Day Tiger was right; time was incredibly important to Lin Tianwei, and he had to act quickly!

Facing Lin Tianwei’s already expanded Beast King Domain, Day Tiger showed no fear, letting out an incredibly majestic tiger roar:

Roar~~~~~~~~~~

Accompanying the tiger roar was a pitch-black domain, an extremely terrifying Destruction Domain, as if it could destroy all things in time.

Although both could be considered the same Siberian Tiger, different encounters meant that their comprehensions were completely different.

Under these circumstances, having completely different domains was also very normal.

Driven by both sides, the two incomparably overbearing domains instantly collided, sparking the most violent flames.

Evenly matched!

On one side was Lin Tianwei, with heaven-defying Talent, and on the other was Day Tiger, who had lived for countless years; in the confrontation of domains, the two were actually evenly matched.

Evidently, Day Tiger was not a mediocre Universe Master like Fritz; he was a truly powerful Universe Master, and if he hadn’t been missing that final push, he might have already been promoted to a God-King.

This also meant that this battle might be even more troublesome than Lin Tianwei had imagined.

A glint flashed in his eyes; almost at the same moment, both sides realized that fighting in this manner of opposing domains was just a waste of time, as neither had the power to completely crush the other.

It was time for a hearty hand-to-hand combat!

Lin Tianwei and Day Tiger almost instantly vanished from their original positions, reappearing at the boundary between gold and black.

Clang, clang, clang, accompanied by a few crisp sounds, the two tigers’ claws met and collided.

Although both were Siberian Tigers, with their current powerful strength and mastery of energy, their battle could not possibly be like that of ordinary Siberian Tigers.

At the very least, their necks would absolutely not be their weak point; a throat lock would be utterly useless.

Furthermore, they seemed to have other ideas, wanting to completely subdue the other through their own immense power.

This was a pure contest of strength, a collision of energy, a collision of flesh.

The slightest oversight could lead to being crushed to death by the opponent’s immense power... This battle lasted much longer than the two tigers had imagined; both sides were evenly matched, and every collision sparked huge flames.

However, even in such high-intensity combat, neither side made a single mistake, showing their rich combat experience.

It was precisely through this battle that Lin Tianwei felt numerous traces of Talent and Law from Day Tiger.

This clone, which had inherited some of his characteristics, had, after countless years of tempering, ultimately grown strong in a way completely different from Lin Tianwei.

It was just unknown how much help his insights would provide Lin Tianwei after he completely absorbed the other party.

Even the longest battle eventually comes to an end; with a crisp clang, this time, in the clash of tiger claws, Lin Tianwei gained a slight advantage.

However, this slight advantage, like a snowball, instantly crushed Day Tiger into dust.

Several sharp tiger claws were torn off by Lin Tianwei; Day Tiger, having lost his important weapons, could only passively take a beating in front of Lin Tianwei.

Although the opponent could regenerate his tiger claws with his strength, once Lin Tianwei had gained the advantage, how could he possibly give the opponent another Chance?

Black Tiger Digs the Heart!

Even with his current peak Universe Master level strength, Lin Tianwei still retained some of the Siberian Tiger’s habits in his attack patterns.

His massive tiger claw directly penetrated Day Tiger’s body, passing straight through him.

A vibrant, furiously beating tiger heart, however, had already fallen into Lin Tianwei’s palm, becoming Lin Tianwei’s trophy.

It was precisely at this moment, as Lin Tianwei gained the advantage, that Day Tiger gasped for breath, hastily saying:

"Stop, stop, stop! The victor has been decided; there’s no need for this battle to continue."

Facing Day Tiger’s request for a truce, Lin Tianwei showed no intention of stopping the fight.

Not tearing the enemy completely into pieces was simply not Lin Tianwei’s fighting style; he immediately provoked:

"Are you afraid of death?"

"I never imagined that my clone would be such a coward who fears death; you’ve completely disgraced me!"

Facing Lin Tianwei’s mockery, Day Tiger was filled with helplessness, saying:

"The victor has been decided; there’s no need for the battle to continue."

"The reason for stopping the fight is not because I fear death, but because there are some things I must tell you."

At this point, Day Tiger was clearly still somewhat shaken; he never imagined that his hundreds of millions of years of cultivation could not compare to Lin Tianwei’s mere hundred years of growth.

Even as the same beast, the gap between him and Lin Tianwei was simply too vast.

This gap was something that time could simply not bridge.

Thinking this, Day Tiger subconsciously looked towards Lin Tianwei’s position, thinking to himself, if Lin Tianwei could use the sand of time to gain more time, how terrifying would he become? Just thinking about it filled him with dread.

But then a hint of pleasure flashed in Day Tiger’s eyes; how could such a monstrous Talent be borne by him alone? It was time for his friends and enemies to taste the fear Lin Tianwei brought.

Then they would know how terrifying this 'regrettable existence' they spoke of truly was.

Day Tiger had long been tired of their regretful expressions; it was time to give them a taste of Lin-style shock.

Watching Lin Tianwei, who was gradually growing impatient, Day Tiger didn't hesitate, directly throwing the scroll representing the ownership of Blue Star to Lin Tianwei, considering it a voluntary surrender.

He then said, "I concede. You can absorb me as you wish, but before I die, I must tell you a secret."

"However, this secret is somewhat unspeakable, and it’s only a guess of mine; you can only comprehend it yourself."

"Use Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical). Use this Talent, which you obtained by defeating the Star Devouring Beast Avatar, to devour me. Perhaps then you will know the greatest secret of the two great universes."

"After verifying this secret, I can finally retire successfully."

"It’s sad to think that for the vast majority of Cosmic Beasts in the two great universes, they desperately upgrade, striving to carve out a bright future for themselves through hard work, only to ultimately serve as a stepping stone for other existences."

"As for other things, I believe you will naturally understand after absorbing my memories."

"After all, we have always been the same existence, merely separated by some Chance coincidence."

Although he tightly held the scroll representing the ownership of Blue Star, the goal of his trip, Lin Tianwei was clearly more concerned with Day Tiger’s words.

A secret, the greatest secret of the two great universes?

Combining Day Tiger’s words, Lin Tianwei felt that he seemed to have already understood; he didn’t even need to devour Day Tiger to get the answer to this question.

A certain existence had truly set up a super grand scheme, a super grand scheme concerning the life and death of the two great universes.

The life-and-death struggle of these two great universes might be the opportunity that the other party had long awaited.

An opportunity to swallow both great universes in one gulp.

In fact, after realizing that most Cosmic Beasts in the Chaos Universe also cultivated the Star Refining Art, Lin Tianwei had already formed a simple guess.

Verifying this guess was also extremely simple: Lin Tianwei only needed to use Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical) on those Cosmic Beasts who cultivated the Star Refining Art.

Unfortunately, from Lin Tianwei’s past experiences, he had only encountered geniuses of various races, never mediocrities who cultivated common goods like the Star Refining Art, thus he had no opportunity to experimentally prove his guess.
