Stepping into the God Realm, Instantly Killing Niu Tian!

["Afraid of you? Not a chance."]

[You sneer, pushing aside Di Qiu'er as she tries to mediate, and take a step forward, unleashing your full aura!]

[If you can go toe-to-toe with the Deep Sea Demon Emperor, what is a mere black dragon to you?]

[BOOM--!]

[The great battle is on the verge of erupting!]

[Di Tian grips the Black Dragon Sword, every strike imbued with the ultimate power of darkness and space.]

[As for you, King Crimson follows like a shadow, and Epitaph predicts everything!]

[Your figures collide frantically above the Lake of Life, shattering space and causing the lake water to surge upward!]

["Dragon God Claw!"]

[Unable to secure a victory after a long assault, Di Tian is thoroughly enraged, unleashing the god-tier skill that has caused even Limit Douluos to meet their end!]

[A massive phantom of a dragon claw descends with a god-level aura, as if intending to crush the entire world.]

["Time Erasure!"]

[With a crazed expression, you push King Crimson to its limit, forcibly erasing the second in which the Dragon God Claw would have struck!]

[Hundreds of rounds later.]

[Your clothes are slightly disheveled, but your breathing remains steady.]

[Opposite you, Di Tian retracts the Dragon God Claw, the killing intent in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a look of incredulous gravity.]

[A draw!]

[A human under twenty years old has actually stood firm against the Beast God without being defeated!]

["Human, you win."]

[Di Tian gives you a deep look; although he is extremely displeased, he has to admit—]

[You are qualified to stand beside the Auspicious Beast, and you are qualified for the Star Dou Great Forest to provide you with sanctuary.]

[Although he is extremely unhappy with you—a human who abducted the Auspicious Beast and wants to break through in the core area—he does not move to drive you away.]

[As the world's strongest, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King has his own pride.]

[If he is to win, he will win fair and square; stabbing someone in the back while they are breaking through? He disdains such acts!]

[You choose a spot with excellent geomancy and sit cross-legged.]

[To your left is the stunningly beautiful Di Qiu'er (Auspicious Beast) in human form, and to your right is the protective Limit Douluo Du Busi.]

[With these two guarding you, you focus your mind and begin to assault the theoretical forbidden zone of soul masters—the Third Soul Core!]

[Common sense dictates that two soul cores are the human limit. But what you intend to do is shatter common sense and, with a mortal body, stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the gods!]

[Three months pass in the blink of an eye.]

[During these three months, the energy fluctuations within your body are like a volcano about to erupt, each pulse causing the surrounding space to shatter into pieces.]

[Finally, with a crisp sound that seems to come from the depths of your soul—]

[The third soul core is formed!]

[The three cores resonate, endless and perpetual!]

[Your soul power, like a breached dam, instantly shatters the shackles of level 98 and reaches level 99, the Limit Douluo realm!]

[Seventeen years old! Three soul cores! Limit Douluo!]

[Looking at you now, with an aura as deep as the sea, Du Busi hangs his jaw, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.]

["Old man... am I dreaming? Or has this world gone mad?"]

[The cultivation common sense he took such pride in has been ground to dust before you.]

[However, you can no longer perceive the shock of the outside world.]

[The moment the third soul core formed, your consciousness was pulled by an irresistible force, transcending your physical body and entering a mysterious dimension.]

[Before you lies a rushing silver river with no beginning and no end.]

[The River of Time!]

[Here, you see the past, the future, and the birth and death of countless parallel universes.]

[You discover that what flows in this river is not water, but the purest origin of time!]

[Like a dried-up sponge thrown into the ocean, you begin to greedily devour this power of time.]

[This meditation lasts for half a year.]

[When you open your eyes again, it is as if galaxies are rotating within your pupils, a single glance spanning ten thousand years.]

[Your second martial soul, Epitaph, has undergone a qualitative transformation.]

[It is no longer just a martial soul or a soul skill; it has condensed into a physical form, becoming a book of time and space exuding an ancient and weathered aura, hovering by your side.]

[Divine Artifact—Epitaph!]

[The you of now no longer merely foresees the future, but... writes it!]

[With the increase in your strength, your second martial soul, Epitaph, has finally awakened its true ultimate mystery—Erasure of Causality!]

[Any existence recorded by Epitaph, whether mortal, soul beast, or a god high above, will have their fate trajectory reflected within your River of Time.]

[You can step into this river, sever the target's causal threads, and completely erase their "past" or "future"!]

[The cost is: each use consumes a portion of your lifespan to fill the void of causality; the more you use it, the heavier the karmic burden you bear.]

[Sounds like a heavy price? No!]

[The most broken aspect is: the life energy of the erased is absorbed by the River of Time and fed back to you! This means that as long as the people you kill are strong enough, not only will you not lose lifespan, but you will live even longer!]

[This is, in the truest sense—killing gods without a scratch!]

[As for the so-called causality?]

[A sentence suddenly surfaced in your mind.]

[All causality shall be borne by me!]

[The time has come, and you feel it is time to settle some old scores.]

[You bid farewell to the reluctant Di Qiu'er (the Auspicious Beast in human form) and left the Star Dou Great Forest with Du Busi, heading straight for the hidden location of the Clear Sky Sect.]

[Target: Da Ming (Niu Tian), Er Ming (Titan)!]

[Through the positioning of Epitaph, you easily locked onto Da Ming's location.]

[The top floor of Clear Sky Castle.]

[Da Ming seemed to sense your arrival; he stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes grave. As a powerhouse at the god official level, his intuition told him that the visitor was ill-intentioned.]

[However, before he could even react, the surrounding scenery changed instantly.]

[Clear Sky Castle vanished, and the sea of clouds disappeared.]

[In their place was a gray, void space. There was no sky, no earth, only a mysterious river flowing endlessly, yet making not a single sound.]

[The River of Time!]

["Playing god!"]

[Da Ming let out a cold snort. Just as he reached out to touch the eerie river water, your figure appeared out of thin air.]

["Die!"]

[Da Ming did not hesitate. The pressure of a god-level powerhouse erupted, transforming into a cyan thunderbolt as he charged toward you!]

[You stood where you were, motionless, a curve of pity tugging at the corner of your mouth.]

[Just as Da Ming reached the halfway point of his charge, an image suddenly appeared in the void before him.]

[It was the Star Dou Great Forest from ten thousand years ago, and it was... him in his Azure Bull Python form!]

["This is... my past?" Da Ming's pupils shrank, and an inexplicable chill surged into his heart.]

[In the image, another "you" appeared abruptly.]

[King Crimson emerged. Without any flashy movements, it was merely a simple, unadorned hand blade that instantly pierced the heart of that Azure Bull Python!]

[The image shattered.]

[In reality, Da Ming's charging figure came to an abrupt halt.]

[He looked down in horror to find that a massive hole had appeared in his chest out of thin air! No blood flowed out, because his body was disintegrating bit by bit like weathered sand.]

["You... you severed my... past?!"]

[Da Ming's voice was filled with despair and disbelief. The past was dead; the current him was a tree without roots, water without a source.]

[You walked slowly to his front, extended a finger, and tapped it lightly on his forehead.]

["Goodbye."]

[Whoosh—!]

[Da Ming's body completely crumbled, turning into countless specks of light that merged into the River of Time beneath your feet.]

[At the same time, a surging force of life poured into your body, instantly replenishing the hundred years of lifespan you had consumed and even making you look a few years younger.]

[Thus, the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, the god official Niu Tian, has fallen!]
