Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 718
Chapter 716: Attack from the Future
Jiang Li was truly grateful to Yuanzu for allowing him three more years of training.
His request for Yuanzu to perform a few more uses came from the bottom of his heart, and he meant it sincerely. Jiang Li was repaying the favor; he had just saved Yuanzu’s life.
Yuanzu’s move didn’t change the law of conservation of energy. Jiang Li’s extra three years of energy should have been drawn from Yuanzu. Yuanzu’s own energy was insufficient, and he would surely die. So Jiang Li kindly provided his own energy, not asking Yuanzu for it.
But Yuanzu’s words didn’t make the same sense. “
I risked vomiting blood to perform a powerful magical power, and not only are you fine, you’ve benefited from it?
” Yuanzu had used the “Age of Ageing” technique on many people, but he had never seen it produce the same effect as “Age of Ageing.”
Hou Tuhuang, watching from below, laughed so hard her stomach hurt; she knew this would be the outcome. “
You deserve my hair turning gray.”
“I know you’re powerful, but no matter how strong you are, you have your limits. You can only show off your prowess in the myriad realms of the universe. If you’re brave enough, let’s battle it out in the River of Time!”
Yuanzu couldn’t force someone of his level into the River of Time, so he resorted to provocation, urging Jiang Li to go there
on his own initiative. Yuanzu, a supreme being himself, understood the mindset of the strongest.
The strongest seek to prove their strength, to prove they are the strongest at all times and in all places.
Just as Hou Tuhuang, who only mastered the rules of reincarnation, was the strongest in the underworld, facing souls, Yuanzu was the
same. He mastered the ways of time, and within the River of Time, he was the strongest.
He would use his home-field advantage to defeat Jiang Li!
What was the characteristic of the River of Time? Those who didn’t understand the ways of time would find it difficult to navigate it. In this situation, how could Jiang Li fight him?
“Okay.” Jiang Li had no reason to disagree.
Yuanzu was confident of victory. The Dao of Time converged between his arms. Listening closely, one could hear the crashing of waves, like the sound of the River of Time.
Yuanzu’s hands felt as if they were filled with lead, making it difficult to swing them. He used the Dao of Time to form seals, one after another, overlapping and densely packed. As the seals grew, the Dao of Time in his arms diminished.
“Open!”
Yuanzu shouted, and with a powerful thrust of his hands, a rift opened in the space containing the River of Time.
Yuanzu had experience and was prepared for Emperor Shun to intervene.
Emperor Shun was only capable of sneak attacks; his true cultivation was far inferior to his own.
If Emperor Shun dared to appear, Yuanzu would capture him.
This time, Emperor Shun did not appear. Yuanzu and Jiang Li simultaneously entered the River of Time.
Two figures, spanning time and present, stood atop the chaotic aura of time, gazing at each other.
Yuanzu took a deep breath of the chaotic mist, feeling a sense of familiarity. This was the place where he had attained enlightenment and proven his Dao.
In his childhood, a fortuitous encounter led him straying into the River of Time, unlocking his gift for the ways of time. His cultivation subsequently soared, surpassing his peers.
He steadily ascended to prominence, achieving enlightenment within the River of Time and becoming the fifth Hunyuan Wuji Immortal, commanding a vast universe.
“Let me see how you act!”
Only he could act within the River of Time.
Strange visions appeared behind Yuanzu. The Huanglü Bell, as massive as a mountain, roared with a deafening roar, symbolizing time and fate. Its hands swiftly ticked, as if proclaiming the greatness of Yuanzu, a powerful being who could manipulate time at will. Inexplicable voices of praise echoed from Yuanzu’s followers across the heavens and universes, wishing for time to slow down, for time to turn back, for them to return to their childhood and begin anew.
The shadowy image of the Immortal Ladder also appeared around Yuanzu. The time-related aspects of the Ladder were Yuanzu’s creation, and Luo Ying and Yu Feng’s ability to restart their lives were inextricably linked to him.
Yuanzu struck, and visions imbued with myriad principles shifted, creating an offensive effect.
Even a Hunyuan Wuji Immortal witnessing this move would be as if facing a formidable foe, employing every possible means of defense!
Without a word, Jiang Li grasped Yuanzu’s head and slammed it to the ground.
“What a gimmick!”
“How can you even move within the River of Time?” Yuanzu shuddered, instantly understanding the reason.
This man was so powerful that the chaotic mists of the River of Time couldn’t hold him back!
How could such a powerful being exist?
Jiang Li grasped his head, unable to break free, so he severed his own head, pulled away from Jiang Li, and sprouted a new one.
“The past, present, and future are all within my grasp!” Yuanzu considered Jiang Li his greatest foe, and he was determined to unleash his most powerful techniques.
He would summon both his past and future selves to aid him.
Facing the combined attacks of Hou Tu Huangzhi and Buddha, he refused to summon his future self.
Summoning his future self would be like overdrawing his essence!
Two figures appeared again on the long river of time, one from the upper reaches of the long river of time, and the other from the lower reaches of the long river of time.
Ji Zhi once said that the long river of time can only see one self, and cannot see the past and future selves. Yuanzu’s action went against Ji Zhi’s cognition.
The way of time of Hunyuan Wujixian cannot be guessed!
The Yuanzu of the past appeared with an expressionless face, waiting for the order of the Yuanzu of the present. The Yuanzu of the future came up and slapped the Yuanzu.
“Fuck you, surrender quickly.”
After saying that, the Yuanzu of the future swam back to the future.
Yuanzu was stunned. He had never been beaten by himself before.
Which side are you on?
Jiang Li felt that Yuanzu had a hard time too, so he decided to give him a ride.
“I’ll throw a punch. Will you be shattered like the Immortal Emperor, or will you keep your soul like the Buddha? It all depends on fate.”
Jiang Li clenched his fist and punched straight.
“Huanglu Bell!”
“Time Corona!”
“Seal of Extreme Cold Time!”
The two Primordial Ancestors unleashed one life-saving magical power after another, attempting to block Jiang Li’s blow.
The Huanglü Bell,
which vibrated the River of Time, was pierced. The Time Corona, which could modify time with a flick of its hands, was pierced. The
Seal of Extreme Cold Time, so cold it froze the years and stopped time, was pierced.
Any magical power, any weapon, was as shattered as paper before Jiang Li’s punch.
The same went for the Primordial Ancestor’s body.
The past Primordial Ancestor was blown back by the blast of the fist, while the present Primordial Ancestor’s soul was torn from his body, his flesh shattering.
Jiang Li had experience fighting the Hunyuan Wuji Immortal. While this punch might seem ordinary, it actually contained the magical power Jiang Li had researched, and it would not allow the Primordial Ancestor’s body to recover.
In other words, the Primordial Ancestor was truly dead.
Jiang Li threw the Primordial Ancestor’s soul into the River of Time and back to reality. Only his spirit remained, and in the realm of the underworld, Hou Tu Huang and the Buddha were the only ones capable of dealing with him.
He chose to remain in the River of Time.
He had a vague feeling that someone was waiting for him upstream in the River of Time, but the fog was thick and he couldn’t see through it, so he could only walk over to see.
Jiang Li arrived upstream and saw Emperor Shun holding a banner.
The banner read: Welcome Emperor Jiang Ren to the River of Time for an inspection.
Countless small white fish were blowing bubbles in the River of Time, as if welcoming Jiang Li’s arrival.
