He Li exhaled heavily. Who would have thought that in this desolate galaxy, he would witness the second most powerful and majestic peak battle after Xia Kuduo?
Yan Li’s fierce and overbearing offense, and the woman’s effortless grace, both shocked He Li. Especially the woman, the temporal decree in her hand was like an indestructible barrier.
The Desolate Tribe’s army began to retreat. He Li considered it, but did not pursue. He stood at a distance and observed the battle. The woman’s use of temporal laws gave him profound insights. He put away the Corrupted Blood Forest and watched the battle intently.
Yan Li attacked the woman at close range, only to be blocked by the spacetime barrier. Yan Li swung his blood halberd and struck down with immense force. The surging divine power and bloody killing aura poured down like Mount Tai crushing down, like meteors striking.
The woman did not dodge. She steadily blocked Yan Li’s attack. The spacetime barrier vibrated intensely. Her eyes were filled with teasing mockery, and she sneered, “Survivors of the last epoch, your strength is so lacking.”
Yan Li pressed down his blood halberd fiercely, unleashing his divine power. The ripples that emanated cleared the surrounding battlefield. His face contorted in ferocity, and he said, “That Yan Li was looking for you, wasn’t he? I saw Yan Li make a move just now.
I just didn’t expect that someone of his stature would be looking for you arrogant fellows.”
The woman remained unmoved. The golden talisman paper she held emitted a faint glow. The woman shook her head dismissively, “The one you’re talking about, his name is Cheng Xilin, isn’t it? He’s also overestimating himself, wanting to find my master.”
Yan Li raised his blood halberd again and smashed it down heavily.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the spacetime barrier surrounding the woman, but in the next instant, it returned to its original state.
He Li, watching from afar, was startled. Just now, the woman had used temporal laws to rewind time at the moment the spacetime barrier shattered, moving the intact spacetime barrier from the previous moment to the current one.
This extremely precise temporal manipulation stunned He Li.
The profound artistic conception within that minute control was like a window blocking He Li’s path. It was right before his eyes, within reach, yet He Li could not grasp it.
Yan Li’s attacks were broad and powerful. Although he possessed immense divine power, his fighting style was that of a front-line combatant on the battlefield. A battle-hardened warrior who had fought on battlefields for a long time could tell at a glance that Yan Li’s all-out killing moves were honed through prolonged combat against multiple opponents.
This was only natural. In the Barbarian Ancient Epoch, it was the Yan Li and Yan Si brothers who fought valiantly in the end.
In fact, He Li’s fighting style, as seen in the battle of gods on Earth, still bore some resemblance to Yan Li’s, seeking speed and ruthlessness, with every move being a killing blow.
The myriad blood shadows converged into one, all gathering on Yan Li.
Yan Li leaped backward, then his figure flickered, appearing before the woman. His blood halberd thrust out, swift as lightning, with a sudden explosion. Then, the space of this desolate domain began to vibrate.
Cracks reappeared on the spacetime barrier around the woman, and the golden talisman paper was no longer as tough and stable as before, becoming precarious.
The woman was knocked back a thousand zhang by Yan Li’s strike. In the end, unable to use temporal laws, the woman could not repair the temporal decree. The golden talisman paper exploded with a bang, turning into golden powder and vanishing into nothingness.
Yan Li stood with his halberd, exuding a dense aura of blood and killing intent. He looked at the woman, his momentum reaching its peak. He took a step forward, intending to kill the woman with a single blow.
However, at the moment Yan Li struck, cosmic anomalies occurred. The star rivers flowed in reverse, and billions of stars began to evolve. The dim, dead galaxy became vibrant with life.
“Not good, time is rewinding!”
“Yan Li! Escape quickly!”
He Li’s heart sank. He roared at Yan Li, and at the same time, his figure turned sharply, heading towards the direction of the Fire Li Great Ming King.
But it was too late.
From a great distance, the entire galaxy looked as if it were being held up by a pair of enormous hands, enveloped in a mass of white mist.
Two realms,
Cheng Xilin suddenly stood up, looking towards the direction of He Li and Yan Li. His palm trembled, and he said with a quaver, “The old fellow has finally appeared.”
“Be careful.”
Cheng Xilin looked back in surprise at Tata, who had spoken to remind him to be careful. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry.”
Cheng Xilin’s figure vanished like a phantom.
The next moment,
Above the Qiuhuang Galaxy, on the pair of hands holding the Qiuhuang Galaxy, a colossal sword appeared, entirely dark gold, and slashed down heavily at the pair of giant hands.
Hum…
Not only the pair of giant hands, but the entire Qiuhuang Galaxy was split open by the sword.
“Time old thief, you’ve been hiding deep enough.” Cheng Xilin’s figure appeared in the higher void, his hands behind his back, standing on a dark gold great halberd.
In the boundless void, an ancient sigh emerged, “I have always been by your side, when have I ever hidden?”
Cheng Xilin did not wish to waste words. His objective was clear, and further talk was futile. White arcs of electricity burst from his shoulders. In an instant, a vast white net composed of arcs of electricity appeared behind him, truly covering the sky and earth.
Cheng Xilin moved sideways, his every action like the roaring of a great tide, as if he could pluck the stars from the heavens with his hand.
“Time old thief, rewind time for me, back to nineteen epochs ago!”
“A futile wish, Cheng Xilin, this is your fate!”
“What fate! If you refuse, then die for me, and let He Li become the Lord of Time!”
In the boundless void, the ancient voice was no more.
Cheng Xilin’s eyes narrowed coldly, and he charged into the sky alone, entering the boundless void. The vast net of electromagnetic force covered the void like the sky.
On the other side,
He Li found the Golden Crow and the Fire Li Great Ming King, and discovered that Zouwu had been knocked unconscious.
He Li felt speechless. Indeed, when it came to the actions of the demon race, there was no gentle persuasion, no perfect plan, only one word: action!
At this moment,
Yan Li flew from a distance to He Li’s side, looking He Li up and down. He looked into He Li’s eyes and for a moment didn’t know what to say. Finally, he pointed to the void on the left and stammered, “That damned woman was beaten and ran away.”
He Li looked at the nervous Yan Li, who had none of his previous dominance, his aura of blood and killing intent completely withdrawn. He nodded and smiled, “My name is He Li. Before, it was Xia Peishu. You can just call me He Li.”
“Ah! Okay, little Si… uh… He Li, are you… are you alright?” Yan Li asked hesitantly.
He Li found Yan Li somewhat endearingly clumsy. He didn’t answer Yan Li’s question but instead asked, “Do you have anything else to do? If there’s nothing, then come with me.”
“Alright, okay, I’ll go with you. In this epoch, I will never let you face war alone again.”
“Heh heh… It’s fine, I don’t have the memories of that time anyway.”
After speaking, He Li patted the shoulders of the Fire Li Great Ming King and the Golden Crow, and then looked at the severely beaten Zouwu, sighing softly.
However,
Thinking of the Time Envoy and combining it with the use of troublesome laws, He Li gritted his teeth. One day, he would be stronger than all of them.
