Chapter 185 - 145: Sky Collapsing

In a world where the second law of thermodynamics holds, overall entropy increase is an inevitability. The universe's progression towards thermal death is the big trend. Yet life is the most common negative entropy phenomenon to arise within the cosmos; the mere existence of life itself is a local entropy reduction in the universe. Therefore, whether the Heavenly Entropy Technique is used regularly or in reverse, it aligns with the Heavenly Dao and can draw upon the big trend of the Heaven and Earth to fight! Used normally, entropy increases and order totally dissolves, leaving Heaven and Earth to perish under intense heat; used in reverse, entropy decreases and all is restored to order, leaving no trace of heat dissipation, thus freezing all things solid! Ai Changyuan, looking at the slightly glowing red blade in Wang Qi's hand, the entirety of the Heavenly Entropy Technique's information surfaced in his mind. He dared not treat the situation lightly and placed his hands behind his back, striking a peculiar starting pose. Ai Changyuan's spirit suddenly turned noble and profound. Leveraging the mysterious mental method as ethereal as nihility, he connected himself to the very ground beneath his feet. The gravity he was manipulating actually came from the planet itself! Although his mana was weak and he couldn't borrow much strength, the Shenzhou People Clan had lived for millions of years under a constant gravitational constant; the moment it altered around them, Wang Qi felt a wave of discomfort. With his heartbeat unchanged, his blood circulation sped up, showing signs of going out of control. Too much blood rushing to his brain caused Wang Qi a headache, while the muscles close to his trunk felt weak. "The gravitational constant of this planet is determined by its mass; it cannot decrease suddenly... Has he 'Borrowed' some of the gravity from this area? What principle is this?" Wang Qi's mind raced, pondering the secrets of Wanxiang Heavenly Attraction. However, Ai Changyuan wouldn't give him the time. The descendant of the Yuanli Master lightly said, "It's too late to think now!" and threw a punch. No fist wind, no explosion of sound. The "borrowed" strength wrapped around Ai Changyuan's fist, making it incredibly heavy. All matter began to flow towards the boy's fist, including the air, and even—Wang Qi's blood. Such a fist didn't raise any gust of fist wind, but it was more terrifying than the most vigorous fist technique! Because all the blood in his body had been disrupted, Wang Qi felt dizzy. It seemed to him that he wasn't facing the small fist of a fourteen-year-old boy, but rather a celestial body with a mass comparable to Shenzhou's planet! The tremendous gravity pulled at him, driving him towards Ai Changyuan's fist. Wanxiang Heavenly Attraction, the imitation of a celestial body, linked all things through gravity! Ai Changyuan watched Wang Qi stumbling towards Ze Ji's fist without any sign of pleasure on his face. An opponent he valued couldn't possibly fail to catch even his exploratory moves! Just at that moment, a stroke of bright red sword light turned into a comet, aiming for Ai Changyuan's face. Unlike ordinary sword techniques that blaze brilliantly, this sweeping comet showed no sign of spreading out, instead, it began to converge. Converging killing intent, sword aura, spirit... In the end, the swordstroke twisted into a strange angle. Ai Changyuan's pupils sharply contracted. He saw the terror of this move. Human's subjective spatial concepts all conform to Euclidean geometry, but what if one stepped outside the confines of Euclidean geometry to view this move? In the eyes of Ai Changyuan, who had specifically studied Riemannian Geometry because the basic skills he practiced were gravity-related, this sword was dazzling! The sword's radiance on a curved surface transcended space, cutting through gravity, swearing to fell him beneath its blade! The disorderly air of entropy increase made Ai Changyuan sense danger—he could not take this move head on! The disciple of Ai Family quickly changed his move, his right hand lifting, adopting the starting pose of the Sky-Collapsing Palm! Wang Qi suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness; in that instant, the gravity beneath his feet was completely negated. Without a foundation underfoot, the transcendental sword veered off, brushing past Ai Changyuan's scalp. How terrifying is thermal death if the strike does not hit? A missed technique holds no meaning! Following this, Ai Changyuan forcefully slapped downward with his left hand, as if to shatter Wang Qi's heavenly spirit. The loss of weight immediately became an inversion of heaven and earth; the gravity assaulting him from above lifted Wang Qi, along with the bricks beneath his feet, into mid-air to meet Ai Changyuan's fleshly palm. This palm, Earth Splitting! The blood rushing into his head made Wang Qi's headache nearly unbearable. The small blood vessels in his nostrils could no longer withstand the pressure; two streams of blood burst forth from his nostrils, then curling upwards. Wang Qi paid no mind to this. His eyes, turned red from the rupturing of capillaries, opened wide as he swung his sword to meet the attack. You think I would prepare only a single sword move? Utilizing the essence of space derived from surface geometry, a stroke that transcended gravity and struck as fast as lightning managed to withstand Ai Changyuan's palm. Ai Changyuan suddenly retracted his hand, expelling his forceful energy, barely dispersing the sword attack with his exquisite martial skill. Seizing this opportunity, Wang Qi stepped forward, maneuvering to Ai Changyuan's right hand side, using the rebounding force to swing his sword in a counter slash. We are both stronger in offense than defense, but your combat skills are superior to mine, so you probably didn't plan on defending against my close-range sword technique! How will you handle the mightiest few slashes I have deduced over the course of a day! This slash was fierce and exposed, forcing Ai Changyuan to meet it directly! Ai Changyuan's right hand formed a strange boxing print with his middle and ring fingers bent, twisting his body to strike at Wang Qi's chest and abdomen. Halfway through his sword strike, Wang Qi hastily changed direction. Ai Changyuan's palm struck the spine of Wang Qi's sword, his strength both hard and clever, sending Wang Qi flying. "Worthy indeed of the descendant of the founder of mechanics..." Wang Qi forcefully expelled the remaining blood in his nostrils, used his spiritual power to seal off his blood vessels but ignored wiping the blood away. The recent exchange seemed perilous, but for these two scholarly fighters, it was merely a probing attack. "It's a pity," Ai Changyuan said with a slightly regretful voice as both sides adjusted their stance and gathered their momentum. "It's a pity that the Absolute Skill you chose wasn't the All Laws Annihilation Old Cultivator Ke's Silent Annihilation Sky Burning Palm. This hand technique is the matching martial art for the Heavenly Entropy Technique. When enacted, not a trace of life can be found within a hundred miles, and all things reduce to chaos. Only then can it contend with my combination of Wanxiang Heavenly Attraction and Sky Collapsing Palm." "Haven't you heard, 'From one law comes all laws'?" "Bai Ze True Formation Slash and Thunder Sound Chord Saber Technique indeed are fine martial arts that can complement any mental method in the world, but they ultimately fall short of the perfect union between Silent Annihilation Sky Burning Palm and the Heavenly Entropy Technique," Ai Changyuan sighed. "If you have not managed to link surface geometry with either the Bai Ze True Formation Slash or Thunder Sound Chord Saber Technique, then you will definitely be unable to withstand my next move." Wang Qi raised an eyebrow: "Then let's give it a try." Having said that, the two once again charged toward each other. Ai Changyuan moved as if dancing, his hands drawing circles, and then, in the palm of his hands, he condensed a gravity group collapsing into a spherical form. The nature of gravity is the curvature of space. In that instant, Ai Changyuan, carrying with him a twist of space, smashed it down upon Wang Qi. This palm, Sky Collapsing! ———————————————————————————————————— This week, I will surely produce a three-chapter release, so everyone please rest assured. In this week, as someone who still hasn't managed to secure a contract, I continue to sorely seek everyone's votes of warmth!
