Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 717

Chapter 715: The Power of “Time Makes People Grow Old”

“Who are you?” Yuanzu didn’t dare to be careless in the face of Jiang Li.

Only Hou Tu Huang and Buddha dared to openly cede their position to this person. This person must have a background, which only Hou Tu Huang and Buddha could trust.

Considering the previously mentioned destruction of the immortal world, it’s hard not to wonder if this person has a connection to that destruction.

“My name is Jiang Li, and I’m from Jiuzhou.”

“Why Jiuzhou again?” Yuanzu had a love-hate relationship with Jiuzhou. His most prized subordinate, Zhan Xian, hailed from Jiuzhou, and his most hated rival, Emperor Shun, also ascended from Jiuzhou.

Now, the unfathomable Jiang Li has emerged, also with connections to Jiuzhou.

“Let’s all save our energy. You admit defeat, and I’ll save the trouble. How do you think?” Jiang Li suggested, ignoring Yuanzu’s claim that he had no talent for the Way of Time.

How could he not have talent? The Way of Time could be accomplished with just a few words.

Yuan Zu laughed heartily, “To have a Primordial Wuji Immortal surrender so directly, young man, you’re far too arrogant!”

With that, Yuan Zu attacked, unleashing the Dao of Time.

With a piercing gaze, Yuan Zu saw Jiang Li’s next move.

“I saw it coming. You’ll throw a punch. Knowing your moves, how could I possibly be hit… Puff!”

Then, Yuan Zu took a solid punch from Jiang Li and flew backward.

Yuan Zu saw Jiang Li’s next move: a kick, and he was actually kicked.

…

“Yuan Zu is truly amazing! He can even foresee how he’ll be beaten.” Hou Tu Huang applauded from below, withdrawing from the battle and returning to her Celestial Dao state.

Watching Jiang Li’s one-sided battle was a true delight. Jiang Li was unstoppable, his fighting style simple and unpretentious, requiring no thought at all.

Hou Tu Huang gradually understood Dao Zu’s thinking.

With someone like him charging ahead, they, the Primordial Wuji Immortals, had nothing to worry about.

“What’s the point of watching the ten of you fighting? Is there any other outcome? Stop watching. Have you finished your work? Go back to work.” Hou Tuhuang only expelled the Ten Kings of Hell.

A higher-ranking official could crush someone to death, so the Ten Kings of Hell had no choice but to go back to their work.

Zhan Xian said, “This is not right. How can the leader rest while his subordinates work?”

Hou Tu Huang’s expression suddenly changed. It was no longer kind, but filled with a terrifying murderous aura. She threatened Zhan Xian in a cold tone, “Are you Zhan Xian? How dare you talk to Hunyuan Wujixian like that? Aren’t you afraid of death?!”

Zhan Xian shook his head, “No.”

“Why?”

Zhan Xian said honestly, “Because everyone present here is dead except me. You look much better than the people in the immortal world.”

Hou Tu Huang stopped pretending to be scary and returned to her usual expression, “Then let me ask you another question. If you were in charge of the Book of Life and Death, and there was a pitiful person who cried and begged you to resurrect him, what would you do?”

Zhan Xian was puzzled, “My job is to be in charge of the Book of Life and Death. What does his crying and begging me have to do with me?”

Hou Tu Huang laughed, “Yam Luo, how much Yin De has he done?”

“To answer your Majesty, it’s barely enough for reincarnation.”

Hou Tu Huang simply waved his hand. “Don’t let him reincarnate. After death, let him stay in the underworld as a ghost messenger. Depending on the situation, he can be promoted to a substitute for Yama. If he performs even better, he can become the real Yama, replacing you, so you can have a chance to rest.” Tears

welled up in the eyes of the Ten Yama Kings.

Zhan Xian frowned, “But I want to fight.”

The Ten Yama Kings patted their chests and said, “Don’t worry, if you become Yama, you can challenge any of us you want, and we promise to fight!”

Zhan Xian’s eyes lit up. The underworld was truly a wonderful place. He had fought all over the world in the Nine Provinces and was unbeatable. Feeling lonely in the world, he ascended to the Immortal Realm, looking for opponents. At first, there were immortals willing to fight him, but later, as his cultivation level increased, his combat power was rare even among the Golden Immortals. No one in the Immortal Realm was willing to fight him, only the three corpses of Daozu were willing to fight him.

When Venerable Shenzang ruled, everyone was busy destroying the world to gain merit and improve their cultivation. He didn’t like using merit to improve his cultivation, nor would he destroy the world; he only wanted to fight.

But everyone was busy at the time, and no one fought him. His only opponents were his past and future selves, both of whom were found for him by Yuanzu.

He never expected the long-awaited fighting opportunity to be in the underworld.

Zhanxian immediately killed himself and officially joined the underworld.

The Buddha watched from the sidelines, saying nothing.

He wanted to see how the underworld usually recruited people.

…

Down below, the underworld was holding a welcome ceremony for new members, while Yuanzu was being beaten above, and it was a lively scene.

Yuanzu realized that even if he could see Jiang Li’s movements, it would be useless; he couldn’t avoid them.

“You forced me to do this!” Yuanzu changed his tactics and once again displayed his great supernatural powers, trying to turn Jiang Li into a sluggish old man.

“Time makes us grow old!”

The essence of this magical power is to isolate the opponent’s time from the outside world. While the outside world’s time remains constant, the opponent’s time flows rapidly. Even the most powerful cannot resist the passage of time and can only sigh in fear. Even the powerful Hou Tu Huang and Buddha had to be attacked before they could break through, rather than evade it.

This is one of Yuan Zu’s most powerful magical powers, and it can only be used once against a single opponent.

Facing the enigmatic Jiang Li, Yuan Zu held nothing back, and once he had taken enough, he immediately struck back!

Jiang Li, unflinching, delivered a punch that collided with Yuan Zu’s, meeting the blow head-on. The mark of time struck him, and his time rapidly slipped away.

Simultaneously, Yuan Zu was sent flying backwards again.

Yuan Zu laughed while coughing up blood, his clothes stained with it. “Hahaha, even if you’re strong now, what can you do? Since ancient times, countless heroes have died in the long river of time without even raising a ripple.”

“I admit that you are very strong now. I believe you are at the peak of your power, just like Hou Tu Huangzhi and Buddha. Being at your peak now means that you will be weaker in the future!”

Jiang Li did not refute Yuan Zu, but closed his eyes and savored the feeling. This feeling was marvelous. He could feel his body changing, becoming different from before.

“The way of time is truly marvelous.”

One year, two years, three years… three years!

In the outside world, it was just a few breaths, but in Jiang Li’s body, three full years had passed!

Yuan Zu and Jiang Li both discovered that allowing Jiang Li’s body to pass three years was the limit of this magical power.

“Grow old!” Yuan Zu shouted, continuing to inject immortal power into the Mark of Time.

Cracks appeared on the Mark of Time, and before Yuan Zu could withdraw his power, the Mark of Time collapsed on its own.

Jiang Li stretched his body and discovered that Yuan Zu’s magical power was equivalent to three years of rapid cultivation.

Jiang Li clasped his fists uncertainly and asked politely, “How about a few more blows?”

Yuan Zu: “…”

What kind of opponent had he encountered?
