Chapter 973 The third run

( Rudra's POV )

Rudra started his attempts with the goal to use the seed of knowledge and figure out a way to utilise karmic essence in a more effective way, however, his research brought him to a completely different direction where he realised that he was not even using 10% of what the aligned seeds of power were capable of.

Speed in itself was an ability that was inherently dependent on the flow of time and with the time seed under his control, if he utilised its power to not create a time loop for safety but rather alter the flow of time around himself, then he could automatically achieve the speed he required to threaten the perfect warrior.

Not only did he have seven of the universe's most powerful seeds in his body, but he also had a constitution that could support its usage, yet because he never faced a challenge within the controlled universe, he never got the opportunity to truly explore its powers in depth.

Once Rudra realised this fact, he understood that he could make massive strides forward as a warrior if only he learnt how to hone the power of the seeds as he changed his complete approach to fighting the perfect warrior once he delved deeper into this train of thought. novE(lb.In

( The martial arena on-top of the celestial peak belonging to the perfect warrior )

A month after exploring a completely new style of fighting dependent on the power of the seeds, Rudra approached the perfect warrior yet again for a fight.

As usual, the perfect warrior stood at the centre of the arena with the sun at his back as he had a confident smile on his face.

" Nope" Rudra mouthed, as he used the power of the space seed to tail the perfect warrior and resume from the exact same position as they were a second ago as he felt his sword make contact with his opponent's body.

*Shua*

Since the perfect warrior had no blood, when his body was pierced it only made a sound akin to when wind was being pierced by a powerful spear thrust.

However, while Rudra was sure that he had made contact with his opponent's body, definitely piercing his side abdomen, the damage notification never came.

" Agh, sweet summer child, such petty tricks don't work on me" the perfect warrior said as his eyes gleamed with bloodlust as he landed a palm technique straight on Rudra's chest and sent him flying off the martial arena.

As Rudra was sent flying, he could feel how his entire body was thrown into disarray by a single strike from the perfect warrior as he felt trouble circulating mana within his veins as if something had blocked it's flow.

He crashed horribly onto his own celestial peak as he could not even begin to fathom where he went wrong with this run? As even though he did everything right and managed to land a strike on his opponent, it seemed like it was useless in the end as he could not even understand why he did not receive damage.

" How?" Rudra wondered as for a good two hours he laid flat on his back staring at the celestial sky feeling disheartened and disarrayed.

He wondered if it was even possible to defeat an opponent like the perfect warrior?

He wondered if his opponent even had any weaknesses that he could exploit?

In terms of seconds, he lasted a full seven seconds this time around against the perfect warrior which was a record in itself, however, just like every other run before this one it turned out to be an absolute failure as he gained no insight on how to defeat his opponent despite the third run.
