Zhu Yi noticed a person approaching and looked over. The person coming seemed young, but based on his cultivation level he was far from it.
"You are Zhu Yi, correct? The Sect Master's student from a lower world?"
Zhu Yi nodded. "I am. Are you here to fight?"
The person once again nodded. "I am the strongest soul formation realm cultivator of the Heavenly Phoenix sect's sword sect disciples.
Zhu Yi had been able to tell he was part of the Heavenly Phoenix sect just from his clothes
"Can you fight a soul formation realm Chaos Beast alone?" Zhu Yi asked.
The person in front of him was clearly at the tenth level of the soul formation realm.
"Not quite." The person said, shaking his head.
Zhu Yi agreed. "In that case, I'm willing. I've never fought someone from one of the four sects."
Zhu Yi pulled out his sword, as did the person across from him. There was no need for any sort of official duel. One just had to beat the other up.
Fire wrapped around his opponent's sword as he slashed upward. A wave of fire Qi shot towards Zhu Yi. As someone both from this higher world and at the tenth level of soul formation realm, Zhu Yi would struggle to win. He decided to make a statement here in order to avoid more difficult fights in the future.
Instant completion. Since every powerful person was currently fighting, there was no need for Zhu Yi to hide it at all. Even if it was found out he was using time Qi, he was the Sect Masters student. Even in the absolute worst case scenario, he would probably be taken to the world tree and examined by someone more powerful. Perhaps that person would even be able to see and recognize his master.
Zhu Yi instantly appeared behind his opponent and used a powerful sword wave. His opponent was not even able to react. It was as if he had teleported.
He was hit in the back and sent flying. The duel was over. Zhu Yi could have easily killed him there, but obviously didn't.
The person was shocked beyond words. He eventually got up and walked away without saying anything. Even if he knew it was going to happen, he didn't have any confidence in winning. Nobody challenged Zhu Yi after seeing the result of the previous battle.
Zhu Yi simply waited for the fight up there to be over.
As a year passed, cultivators slowly returned. First was the space shattering realm cultivators. Elder Chit came down at this time.
He set up a much larger camp for the Sword Sect disciples. He also heard of Zhu Yi's victory in the duel and gave him a thumbs up.
After the space shattering realm cultivators were the lesser dao creation realm cultivators. Much less people came down, but with everyone combined there were a good few. Zhu Yi saw High Elder Jue descend at this time. He nodded in Zhu Yi's direction.
Finally, at the end of the year, the sect master and the other inner world realm cultivators returned. Although none had any injuries, it was only because they healed fast. They were all clearly exhausted.
The sword sect finally returned to the sect. The sect master's sword was once again used as the base of it all.
Zhu Yi returned to his cultivation room and began cultivating within the time bubble once again.
Now with god rank meridians, he was countless times faster. After 125 years within the time bubble and only 12.5 outside, Zhu Yi reached the 3rd level of the soul formation realm.
10,000 years passed within the time bubble. Almost exactly as Zhu Yi broke into the 8th level of the soul formation realm, it was time to fight Chaos Beasts again.
This time, Zhu Yi decided to go big. He would attempt to fight a Soul Formation realm Chaos beast.
Luckily for him, the thousand years it took for Chaos Beasts to come was merely an estimate. This time, they took around 1001 years, giving Zhu Yi enough time to become even stronger.
Zhu Yi met with the sect master. This time, the sect master seemed to be pleased with his cultivation speed. It was unknown what the sect master was thinking. Zhu Yi was not exactly as fast as the maximum cultivation speed when using the time bubble, but it was a great improvement from before.
The Sect Master's thoughts were unknown, but he seemed to believe in Zhu Yi a bit.
The same scene as before appeared. Zhu Yi rode with the Sect Master to the predicted battlefield. Zhu Yi still had no idea how they predicted the location.
He was so curious that he asked. "How does everyone get information on the location of Chaos Beasts?"
Even in his birth world, they had been able to predict it.
"It's all information from the World Tree. Even I'm not sure how it's done. They give out information to every single world that suffers from the attacks of Chaos Beasts."
Zhu Yi understood. It was probably some sort of special method. It didn't matter to him anyway. He was only curious.
As they flew towards the battlefield, the Sect Master turned to Zhu Yi. "Are you one hundred percent sure you want to do this? Fighting a soul formation realm Chaos Beast on the same level is extremely rare even in our world."
Zhu Yi nodded. "I'm sure. If I can't do it now, then I'll never be able to do it."
The Sect Master agreed and let him fight a soul formation realm Chaos Beast. They waited in the air once again. Around them were familiar faces.
After waiting for a month, the sect master looked up. "Take care of yourself. Don't die."
Along with some others, he flew up. As time passed, more and more people flew into space. When the strongest people left on the world were void traversing realm cultivators, space broke.
