Chapter 585: Spatial Transposition
Xiao Ze's gaze settled on an inconspicuous bolt of lightning in the Void Thunder Pool. The next instant, his figure appeared exactly where the lightning had been, and the bolt of lightning appeared where he had been standing. This forceful exchange of their spatial positions, known as spatial transposition, is an ability possessed by a Six-Star Dou Saint.
Xiao Ze's soul power instantly spread out, extending forward and instantly reaching beyond the Void Thunder Pool. His soul power locked onto an ordinary piece of void stone. The power of space twisted, and Xiao Ze's figure vanished, replaced by an ordinary black stone that submerged under the overwhelming power of the thunder.
This spatial exchange brightened Xiao Ze's prospects. This method had transcended ordinary movement speeds. No matter how fast you are, you cannot catch a Dou Saint who possesses spatial transposition. Against a Dou Saint who masters spatial transposition, the chances of an ordinary Dou Saint winning are extremely low. Even if they possess high-tier Dou techniques, it's useless if they can't hit their target.
Afterward, as Xiao Ze traveled back to the Ancient Dragon Island, he continuously tested the effects of spatial transposition. Undoubtedly, as a space ability that only a Six-Star Dou Saint could master, its power was self-evident. With soul power locked in, one could leverage the power of space to instantly swap positions with another.
With Xiao Ze's current soul power at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, he could easily extend it thousands of miles away. For a Dou Saint who has mastered spatial transposition, the vastness of the Dou Qi continent could be traversed at will. Even those Dou Saints without soul power at the Great Perfection level of the Heavenly Realm cannot spread their power instantaneously over thousands of miles, but distance still means little to them. However, as distances increase, the consumption of spatial power also increases, and the power level of the entities being transposed also affects the consumption of spatial power.
Xiao Ze once tried to switch places with a mountain in the void. Under the same distance, the spatial power required was much more than what was needed to switch with a piece of space stone. Xiao Ze guessed that if Dou Saints who also mastered spatial transposition were to fight, what would likely be compared is the control over spatial power.
"Fortunately, my control over spatial power should be one of the best on the Dou Qi continent," he thought. "Does this mean I could forcibly move an opponent of the same level during a fight?"
As these thoughts passed through Xiao Ze's mind, he had already traveled half the distance. Suddenly, his gaze landed on a chaotic energy flow. With his current knowledge, he could tell at a glance that this chaotic flow was naturally formed by a void depression, where the immense battle energies on the Dou Qi continent were drawn into the void, naturally gathering at this depression. Over time, this formed a dangerous area in the endless void.
Even a Dou Zun entering this energy flow would be shredded into pieces in an instant. Xiao Ze was interested in this chaotic energy flow. His vast soul power spread out, enveloping the energy flow, attempting to lock it down. However, being a chaotic flow, it was naturally disorderly and chaotic. The difficulty of locking it down as a whole was imaginable. Even with Xiao Ze's current soul power, it was somewhat challenging. After a moment, he relaxed his furrowed brows.
"It was tough, but I managed it." His figure, imbued with vast spatial power, next appeared right in the middle of the void depression. The space around him displayed a peculiar indentation, fascinating Xiao Ze. It was his first time entering a void depression, which he had only read about in ancient texts before.
Meanwhile, the energy flow that Xiao Ze had moved away, lacking the constraints of the void depression, immediately began to spread out. Part of it started to reconverge towards the void depression, while another part collided with itself, rippling outwards and shooting far away.
"I really can do it. The potential of spatial transposition is higher than I imagined," Xiao Ze sensed the gradually returning energy flow and did not linger. He moved away towards the distance.
After another transposition, a massive island appeared before Xiao Ze. Surprisingly, compared to the Ancient Dragon Island he remembered, the current island's area had more than doubled. Xiao Ze speculated on the origin of this additional part of the island. Previously, he had killed the West Dragon King, and the West Dragon Island was left leaderless. Ziyan must have taken this opportunity to take over West Dragon Island.
Xiao Ze looked at the protective barrier over Ancient Dragon Island and did not force his way through. Instead, he communicated with Ziyan through the Origin Tree. Just after speaking with Ziyan, a stream of purple-gold light shot out from within Ancient Dragon Island. The light passed through the protective barrier, its energy rippling out. Before the sound could reach him, a figure had already stopped in front of Xiao Ze. The figure was standing elegantly, clad in a purple-gold battle armor that outlined perfect curves, with dragon patterns and phoenix feathers engraved on it, emitting extremely powerful fluctuations.
"Xiao Ze, you're finally back. If you hadn't returned, I would have been tempted to look for you in the Void Thunder Pool," said the figure.
Xiao Ze smiled slightly and patted Ziyan's head. "This trip to the Void Thunder Pool was quite fortunate. I stayed a bit longer and even encountered the legendary Nine Mystical Golden Thunder."
"Nine Mystical Golden Thunder?" Ziyan was momentarily taken aback. "Recorded in ancient texts, it's a powerful thunder that can only be summoned by refining a Nine-Rank Golden Elixir."
"It can be said to be one of the top thunder powers on the Dou Qi continent, not seen on the continent for thousands of years."
Ziyan's eyes widened in shock. "That really is a great opportunity." The Nine Mystical Golden Thunder, which could only be attracted by the birth of a Nine-Rank Golden Elixir, was unexpectedly nurtured in the Void Thunder Pool. Nature truly was miraculous.
"By the way, Ziyan, where are Xiaoxian and Qinglin?"
"They have obtained some inheritances in the Dragon Hall and have achieved some gains. They are currently in seclusion."
"If things go smoothly, they might also be able to improve their strength by a small stage."
Xiao Ze nodded. At the Dou Saint level, improving by a small stage was already considered a tremendous opportunity. After all, not every opportunity could compare to the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
"Ziyan, the changes to Ancient Dragon Island, is that your doing?"
Pride flashed in Ziyan's eyes as she nodded slightly. "Yes, although the situation on the other two Dragon Islands was unclear, West Dragon Island was leaderless, so I took the opportunity to take it down and reclaim one of the Dragon Islands."
"Actually, I was in a hurry to find you because of the matter of unifying the Dragon Islands."
Ziyan spoke as she led Xiao Ze back into Ancient Dragon Island. Hearing Ziyan's words, Xiao Ze's eyebrows raised slightly.
"Tell me in detail."
