On the surface of Jia Yanâs body, a wave-like force instantly transformed the surrounding subspace into a stable area, allowing him to stabilize his figure and no longer be pulled out of subspace by Wu Daâs power.
"This... this is... the power of the Divine Kingdom? Jia Yan, I underestimated you. You can actually master this power!"
Outside the subspace, Wu Da stared at Jia Yan as he unleashed this force, causing the surrounding space to stabilize rapidly, leaving him almost completely stunned.
Why do the cosmic strongman system and the deity system have so much friction, so many wars?
To put it bluntly, it is because the two systems have no possibility of integration at all. The differences in power, traditional customs, biological bloodlines, or interstellar forms are all excuses.
At least Wu Da believes the fundamental reason for the conflicts between the cosmic strongman system and the deity system is that their systems cannot fully integrate, lacking even the slightest possibility of borrowing each otherâs traits, leading to inevitable conflicts.
After all, those of different clans must have different hearts.
But now he actually saw a being who mastered the cosmic strongman system and even reached stellar-level strength, simultaneously mastering the Divine Kingdom power of the deity system, which only âDivine Spiritsâ might grasp.
The Divine Kingdom power Jia Yan exhibited, though still extremely weakâeven weak enough to explode with a casual touch from any stellar-level strongman presentâis still a Divine Kingdom.
The characteristic of the Divine Kingdom is that it can easily assimilate the surrounding environment. The so-called Divine Kingdom signifies the place where âDivine Spiritsâ settle, meaning it is entirely the Divine Kingdom.
And in this subspace, there is no exception; Jia Yan instantly transformed the area of distorted explosion into a calm Divine Kingdom force, resembling a domain, yet akin to the power of the Divine Kingdomâsomething even he himself could not quite ascertain.
In fact, Wu Da outside believes it is a Divine Kingdom, but Jia Yan, the user, knows itâs not truly a Divine Kingdom because it vastly differs from the Divine Kingdom he researched, yet has fundamental differences.
The difference being that this force is driven by his inherent power, unlike the Divine Kingdom power of divine spirits, which is driven by the Crystal of God, entirely distinct.
But now is not the time to think so much.
"What of the Divine Kingdom? Youâre still going to die for me!"
Seeing Jia Yan use the Divine Kingdom power to resist his subspace interference skill, Wu Daâs demeanor slightly darkened and without pause, executed another claw strike.
Now with no barrier of distorted space between them, his attack could instantly reach Jia Yanâs body.
Originally separated by subspace, the disruption by Wu Daâs subspace interference skill seemed to instantly render it ineffective, dramatically shortening the distance.
This is the first time Jia Yan faces head-on against this middle-order powerhouse âWu Da,â who has been pursuing him.
"Die."
Wu Da swung his claw out, the terrifying beast claw appearing to possess the power to disregard space and distance, instantly arriving before Jia Yan.
Even before the claw reached him, Jia Yan felt a force that seemed inappropriate to resist.
This force was so astounding that even the recently strengthened Jia Yan felt a thread of despair.
But in that instant, he forced his mind to awaken.
"Terrifying, is this the natural intimidation from the difference in stronger levels? Despite my strength, simply from this momentum, I almost gave in to despair and stopped resisting."
Jia Yanâs heart was heavy, but as he snapped back to reality, the despair vanished completely.
This sense of despair is the feeling that naturally arises in a creature when facing a stronger being of a higher life level, just like Jia Yan now, standing before a semi-permanent star level powerhouseâeven if that powerhouse possesses immense powerâyet still overwhelmed by Jia Yanâs terrifying stellar-level aura.
This is unrelated to power levels, it is suppression caused by differences in life level.
Fortunately, Jia Yan reacted instantly.
And the attack had already arrived in front of him.
The giant claw, reaching a kilometer in length, was nearly equivalent to Jia Yanâs current body length. For Jia Yan, accustomed to his massive size, he had not experienced such a feeling of smallness in a long time.
The giant claw emitted an extremely astonishing domain force, and Jia Yan knew that upon reaching stellar middle-order, a domain no longer only served to trap enemies around the body but could be minimized, used as an auxiliary attack tool.
Of course, Wu Da could try to trap Jia Yan within the domain and then kill him, but he predicted that the domainâs confinement effect on Jia Yan would be limited, so he abandoned this approach.
Before being touched, Jia Yan already felt the immense intimidating force drawing near. Fortunately, this time he was prepared and swiftly retreated backward.
He had no intention of engaging in a direct clash with a stellar middle-order creature.
However, Wu Da evidently would not let Jia Yan go easily. Just as Jia Yan retreated, that giant claw also followed into the subspace, with Wu Daâs body surprisingly squeezing in, plunging into the subspace in an instant.
Where he squeezed into the space, the distortion power had already been cleared, and with his entry, an astonishing momentum rose around him, dispersing the surrounding distortions again. Although it consumed a lot, it also gave him a brief possibility to fight within the subspace.
"It turns out it can still be like this, canât escape now!"
Under that giant claw, Jia Yan couldnât evade at all, and he had no choice but to brace himself and use all his strength to stab toward the probing giant claw.
The size difference between the two is immense. After all, the gap between a baby and an adult is only four or five times in height, but the actual weight and combat power differ much more. The current Jia Yan and Wu Da are like comparing a baby with an adult.
Itâs not just in height, even in strength.
Regardless, Jia Yan is still a Stellar Class Junior being.
Of course, his strength is not entirely about the surface combat power; even the non-surface combat power is the reason he dares to stay and fight with an intermediate Stellar Strongman.
The giant claw and forefoot collided directly without a hint of embellishment.
In the subspace, there is no sound, not even much vibration, only at the place of mutual attack, a wave of brainwave power is brewing like before a nova explosion, ready to burst completely.
After one second of strength contention between the two, their colliding brainwave power finally exploded completely.
In a place of silence, a scene of complete explosion different from sound appears.
An extremely bright white light first exploded from the contact point of their battle, then spread around, illuminating and then tearing apart all distortions and darkness, exploding into a piece of void...
This is the ripple caused by the clash between two powerhouses greater than ordinary Stellar Junior Strongmen.
Evidently, Jia Yan is completely weaker than the opponent in such a straightforward clash.
In the second breathing of the confrontation, Jia Longâs black Giant Mosquito figure instantly flew out, the fluctuations within his body looking like sustaining huge damage, and his momentum waned.
"Where to run!"
Wu Da was overjoyed in his expression, about to pull out of the subspace to pursue.
He was very glad that Jia Yan didnât evade but fought with him head-on, because if Jia Yan kept escaping, with his speed and mind, Wu Da would be troubled and itâs impossible to heavily injure Jia Yan with just one strike.
Of course, this heavy injury is his own thought, whether Jia Yan is gravely injured, asking him doesnât count.
However, Wu Da clearly couldnât see whether Jia Yan was gravely injured now, because in the direction Jia Yan flew out, a vast flying device had already started its engines, waiting at that place.
And when Jia Yan arrived, he instantly shot into the interior of the device.
Then when Wu Da accelerated to reach the side of the flying device, this device unexpectedly exploded with a burst of engine power, as if the entire body jumped up, quickly transitioning into a very deep place of subspace.
This speed, not to mention Wu Da, even another creature possessing subspace talent, would hardly keep up.
"This... such a fast device, no wonder we couldnât catch up with Jia Yan before, the device he possesses can enter the subspace so rapidly."
Wu Da felt a wave of regret in his mind, his stay in the subspace shouldnât be too long, coupled with a burst of power, it was a massive consumption for him, so after seeing Jia Yan escape in the nick of time, he helplessly withdrew from the subspace.
"Lord, what happened to Jia Yan? Did you kill him?"
Shortly after exiting, several Stellar Academy Strongmen gathered around, looking at Wu Da filled with hope.
"No, Jia Yan surprisingly has a flying device capable of entering deep subspace, I wonât be able to chase into deep subspace." Wu Daâs answer made several Stellar Strongmen show disappointment in their eyes.
They certainly wouldnât say Wu Da should chase into deep subspace.
Know that deep subspace is a very dangerous area even to Galaxy-level Strongmen around, they donât dare act and fight deeply. Of course, how deep Galaxy-level Strongmen consider âtoo deepâ is unknown.
All in all, Wu Da is not a subspace-talented Strongman, daring to chase into subspace to kill Jia Yan is already impressive.
They felt Wu Da didnât have major accomplishments, but Wu Daâs next words shocked them, drawing micro-joy to their expressions.
"Although I didnât annihilate Jia Yan, he suffered quite significant injuries fighting with me. Letâs go, use the detector to track his escape direction, this time we will extinguish him once and for all."
"Jia Yan is gravely injured? Indeed, an intermediate Stellar Strongman personally acting, itâs impossible not to have achieved a kill."
