"Bluffing."
The future He Li looked at the old man beside the Lord of Time and said with a sneer.
"Are you questioning me?"
The old man, identical to the Lord of Time, asked coldly, then said, "You, who are so self-righteous, when have you ever looked down on others? Arrogance is your weakness. My return is destiny itself. Go back with me!"
He made a move, simply flashing to the future He Li and reaching out to grab his shoulder.
Although it was just a simple grab of He Li's shoulder, it carried the power of vast temporal laws.
The future He Li did not resist, but allowed him to grab his shoulder, turned to look at He Li, grinned, and said, "As you can see, I have some things to do, I can't help you anymore, I'm leaving."
He Li nodded.
Immediately,
The two guys from the future fell from the sky together, smashing a large area of void and disappearing.
At this moment.
The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and all engaged battlefields entered the temporal nodes of the river of time.
He Li and the Lord of Time.
All their past selves had submerged into the river of time. In other words, they were fighting in countless moments of the past, their battles transcended time and returned to the past.
"As you can see, I also have a future, I haven't lost, and you can't kill me," the Lord of Time said to He Li with a smile, then continued, "The result is already apparent, are you not giving up yet?"
He Li sneered, "Are you playing me for a fool? That wasn't your future self at all. My future self comes from two epochs later, while that you only came from the next moment.
The you of the next second is also your future self. You split it, sent it downstream in the river of time, and then killed your way back upstream against the current. To make me believe, to disrupt my mind, you even destroyed a temporal node after yourself, severing yourself from a future moment of yourself.
Old man, you are truly willing to pay a heavy price."
He Li looked at the Lord of Time, whose expression was gradually darkening, and chuckled, "It's strange, isn't it? How would I know?"
"Old man! Don't forget, I have already broken through to the Supreme Divine Venerable realm, controlling the laws of time, observing the river of time, splitting the past, and communicating with the future. I stand on the same peak as you. How dare you look down on me!"
His tone suddenly turned chilling and sharp, like frost shaking ice.
He Li was truly enraged. To win, to survive, fighting and killing knew no bounds. Any despicable means were allowed. But the Lord of Time actually played such tricks, almost insulting him, right in front of his eyes, under his nose. It was truly hateful.
What did he take himself for?
An idiot?
He himself possessed the power of temporal laws, traversed the past and future, observed the river of time at will, and split temporal nodes with a wave of his hand. How could he dare to do this?
The divine might of a collapsing heaven pressed down and swept out with He Li's anger, almost instantly covering the entire river of time, filling this still space.
"In your eyes, are our wars, our struggles, nothing but a game?"
He Li, in the Supreme Divine Venerable realm, questioned, his voice like heavenly punishment, like rolling thunder.
"The path I've walked, I've endured hardships and tribulations, life and death hanging by a thread. Schemes, betrayals, battles, games – this bloody path was forged by me step by step. Now I stand in the same sky as you, and you still look down on me from on high."
"No one can look down on me!"
"Sever!"
Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom...
Bang!
The surrounding space shattered completely, falling apart like broken mirrors.
He Li suddenly appeared before the Lord of Time, grabbed the Lord of Time's head with one hand, and smashed him backward fiercely.
Thud!
Ripples spread out from beneath the Lord of Time.
At this moment,
The Lord of Time spoke, "Rewind."
Time began to flow backward. The space shattered by He Li quickly returned to its original state along the fragmented trajectories, becoming intact in an instant.
Bang!
The Lord of Time extended his withered hand, grabbed He Li's forehead, and slowly stood up. Immense power pushed He Li down.
He Li resisted with all his might. The laws of time and his star divine power surged like a torrent against the Lord of Time's body, but it was futile. He could only be suppressed by the Lord of Time powerlessly.
"He Li, like you, I have never underestimated anyone. Even the most minuscule life in the universe, on a planet, I face them with an equal attitude.
You, and Cheng Xilin, I treated with extreme caution.
You are the Son of Destiny, Cheng Xilin is the Body of Chaos. How could I dare to underestimate you?"
He Li was greatly shocked. Indeed, Cheng Xilin's primordial power was chaos, possessing extremely powerful energy without consciousness. More importantly, Cheng Xilin was the Body of Chaos.
He was different from He Li. He Li was immune to time's erosion and disregarded time.
He, however, could destroy time and devour time. No wonder the Lord of Time wanted to confine Cheng Xilin under his surveillance and bestow upon him immense power to suppress his most primordial chaotic power.
"Do you understand?" The Lord of Time tightened his grip on He Li's head and said, "For you and me who have mastered the laws of time, Cheng Xilin is the greatest enemy. His primordial power is our greatest enemy. Kid, your enemy has never been me."
Over there, Cheng Xilin slowly raised his head. His black eyes beneath his white hair were as calm as water. Hearing their conversation, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
Innocence invites crime.
He never expected this to happen to him.
He looked at He Li, wanting to know what choice He Li would make.
As the Lord of Time's words fell, time froze for a moment.
Then,
"Clang."
"Chii!"
After a crisp sound of drawing a saber, a gleaming long saber pierced the Lord of Time's chest, its tip protruding from his back.
Not only was the Lord of Time astonished by He Li, but even Cheng Xilin was immensely shocked. He was surprised by He Li's choice. Could someone like He Li not fear him? Moreover, when they had locked eyes earlier, he could clearly see the pure killing intent in He Li's eyes.
He Li grabbed the Lord of Time's wrist, slowly pried it off, kicked the Lord of Time away, and the blood-stained blade looked tragically beautiful.
He Li flicked the blood off the saber, raised it, with the back of the blade facing down, tucked it into the crook of his left arm, wiped off the blood, and said with a cold expression:
"I'll kill you first, then him."
