Reaching the Pinnacle, at This Moment, I Am a Complete Being! Beginning the Reckoning!

["A mere projection, and you dare to dream of killing me?"]

Looking at the arrogant blue figure in the sky, a mocking curve tugs at the corner of your mouth.

Facing the world-destroying divine skill of Tang San, you do not feel the slightest panic.

Because all of this is within your script.

The opening you deliberately exposed was meant to lure this high-and-mighty God King into making a move!

["Sea God's Light, purge the sin!"]

Tang San's voice rolls like thunder, and a brilliant, extreme golden divine light descends from the sky, instantly submerging the location where you and Du Busi stand.

Just the moment before destruction arrives—

King Crimson, Time Erasure!

The world fades once more, entering the crimson domain that belongs only to you.

In this erased time, Tang San's lethal strike is like slow-motion playback; you easily sidestep it, even finding the leisure to use Epitaph to fully analyze and record the energy fluctuations of this projection of Tang San.

You suppress the urge to counter-kill.

Although you are fully capable of erasing this projection right now, it is meaningless.

Restricted by the rules of the God Realm, Tang San's true body cannot descend. If you alert the enemy now, it will only make him wary.

The one you want to kill is his true self!

["Teacher, let's go."]

The moment before the time erasure ends, you grab Du Busi, tear through the spatial barrier, and step directly into the mysterious and unpredictable—River of Time!

Boom—!

Outside, time resumes its flow.

Tang San's attack slams fiercely into the earth, instantly turning a hundred-mile radius into scorched earth, the terrifying shockwave sweeping across the entire Clear Sky Sect battlefield.

As the dust settles, the spot is empty.

["Hmph, reduced to nothingness?"]

Tang San looks at the empty ruins, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.

In his view, mortals are mortals after all; in the face of divine power, they have no end but to be wiped out.

Without another thought, he grabs the heavily wounded and dying Er Ming and transforms into a golden light, returning to the God Realm.

God Realm, Sea God Temple.

Tang San confidently attempts to heal Er Ming's wounds.

However, the next second, his expression changes.

No matter how much divine power he pours in, the wounds on Er Ming's body not only fail to heal but continue to deteriorate!

That is not ordinary physical damage; that is—the decay of time!

Er Ming's life force is slipping away at an eerie speed, as if he has experienced ten thousand years of erosion in an instant.

["What... what kind of power is this?!"]

Even as a God King, Tang San feels a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment. Time is irreversible; this is the supreme law of the universe, which even he cannot defy.

In the end, he can only watch helplessly as Er Ming gasps his last breath in agony, his body turning into a pile of withered bones that scatter with the wind.

Meanwhile, inside the River of Time.

Here, light flows in splendor; there is no up, down, left, or right, only endless fragments of time drifting by.

One day outside is one year here!

Through the mist of the River of Time, you watch the events in the God Realm with cold indifference, witnessing Er Ming's miserable death.

["Tsk, what a pity."]

You shake your head, your eyes devoid of mercy, holding only pure regret.

["That was a million-year spirit ring and spirit bone... If I could have absorbed them, my strength would have surged once more."]

["But it doesn't matter, Tang San. The next time we meet, you will be the one to die..."]

You withdraw your gaze, sit cross-legged, and begin your long and frenzied cultivation.

When you emerge from the River of Time again, it will be the day the God Realm is stained with blood!

In the blink of an eye, perhaps only an instant has passed outside, but you have spent ten full years of bitter cultivation in the River of Time!

These ten years are the years of your rebirth!

The three spirit cores within your body have undergone a qualitative leap under the scouring of the vast time, completely transforming into brilliant—God Cores!

Your martial soul, King Crimson, has absorbed endless laws of time, breaking through the boundaries of the mortal and evolving into a true—Super Divine Artifact!

Now, although you have not yet officially ascended to the God Realm, your combat power already surpasses that of a First-Class God!

Even if the five high-and-mighty God Kings of the God Realm were to descend in person, you are confident that you could kill them on the spot with the terrifying burst of Time Erasure and King Crimson!

[Invincibility, how lonely it is!]

[The moment you released your martial soul, the entire River of Time trembled in response.]

[Relying on the power of the River of Time, you filled in your remaining soul rings. Not only that, but you also achieved a true sublimation of your soul ring configuration!]

[King Crimson: Nine-colored, nine-colored, nine-colored... a full ten nine-colored ten-million-year soul rings!]

[Epitaph: Also ten nine-colored ten-million-year soul rings!]

[Twenty ten-million-year god-level soul rings! Each one radiates a terrifying divine might capable of crushing the void!]

[Is this even a soul master's configuration? This is practically the configuration of a God of Creation!]

[Beside you, Du Busi watches you, his expression shifting from initial shock to current numbness.]

["A freak... this kid is no longer human..."]

[He mutters to himself, feeling as though his worldview has been shattered into pieces.]

[Of course, as a beneficiary of the saying "when one man attains the Dao, his pets ascend to heaven," Du Busi hasn't been idle these past ten years.]

[Bathed in the afterglow of the River of Time, his physical body and soul power have been tempered like never before.]

[Today, he is no longer just a level 99 Limit Douluo, but a genuine—demigod!]

[Feeling the power surging like an ocean within his body, Du Busi clenches his fists, a savage and wild smile appearing on his face.]

["Limit Douluo? Mu En? Long Xiaoyao?"]

["Hmph! Now, I could smash them into dust with a single punch!"]

[Everything is ready; all that is missing is the spark.]

[Watching your strength skyrocket, the combative instincts within Du Busi can no longer be suppressed!]

[The sect master of the Body Sect is now like a peerless, bloodthirsty weapon drawn from its sheath, radiating a suffocating and terrifying killing intent.]

[Du Busi rubs his hands together, itching to charge into the Sea God Pavilion right now and drag that old man Mu En out for a beating.]

[Faced with Du Busi's fanaticism, you remain exceptionally calm and gently shake your head.]

["Although I have a god core and have achieved sublimation, I am still one final step away from true invincibility."]

["The final step?"]

[Du Busi is stunned. With your current configuration, what more could you possibly need?]

[You lift your head, your gaze piercing through layers of clouds as if staring into the ethereal River of Time.]

[You intend to rely on the River of Time to create your own godhood!]

[You say these four words softly, but to Du Busi, they sound like a thunderclap from the heavens!]

[Create your own godhood?!]

[He's crazy! He's absolutely insane!]

[Since ancient times, the path to godhood has been nothing more than seeking a divine inheritance and inheriting a godhood through divine trials.]

[But creating one's own godhood means starting from nothing, forcibly carving out a path of one's own outside the rules of heaven and earth!]

["Inheriting someone else's godhood is, in the end, living under someone else's roof and being subject to their control."]

[A wild, arrogant arc curls at the corner of your mouth, and the flames of ambition flicker in your eyes.]

[Since you possess King Crimson and Epitaph, and since you can peer into the past and the future, why shouldn't you be able to control time?]

[You intend to use the most mysterious and irreversible 'River of Time' in this world to condense your own divinity!]

[What you are doing is not becoming the successor of the God of Time, but—the Master of Time!]

[At this moment, the aura around you changes.]

[It is no longer a fluctuation of soul power, but a profound and mysterious "presence" that seems to tower above all living beings.]

[Du Busi looks at the seventeen-year-old youth before him, his throat feeling dry.]

[He originally thought he had overestimated this disciple, but he never expected that the boy's ambition was to pierce the very heavens!]

[In the mountains, there is no counting of days; one does not notice the passing of the years.]

[This seclusion lasts for a full hundred years.]

[To the outside world, it is a century of great change; but to you, immersed in the ocean of laws, it is but a fleeting moment.]

[On this day, a massive rift tears open above the River of Time without warning.]

[There is no lightning tribulation, no dark clouds.]

[Only a surging, endless river, with no visible source or end, flows out from the void.]

[That is—the River of Time!]

[You have finally taken that final step!]

[Not relying on the God Realm, not inheriting an old god.]

[You use yourself as a furnace and the laws of time as fuel, forcibly carving out an entirely new path within the rules of the universe!]

[Self-created God Position!]

[At this moment, your appearance remains that of a youth, yet your eyes seem to contain the birth and death of billions of stars.]

[Du Busi stands trembling in the distance.]

[Even as a demigod, Du Busi feels a suffocating sense of being an ant looking up at the firmament as he gazes at you!]

[It is not a suppression of soul power, but an absolute crushing of life hierarchy!]

["Di... disciple?" Du Busi's voice is dry; he does not even dare to look you in the eye.]

[You smile slightly, your aura circulating around you.]

[Your original Epitaph and King Crimson martial souls have completely merged, transforming into a sacred phantom that defies description.]

[Immediately after, twelve halos slowly emerge behind you.]

[They are no longer soul rings, but God Rings condensed from the pure laws of time!]

[Inside each God Ring, a miniature River of Time seems to flow, recording the past, the present, and the future.]

[Twelve rings! Surpassing the God King!]

[The God position you have created is named—God of Creation!]

[To control time is to control the origin and end of all things.]

[You look up at the sky, your gaze seemingly piercing through the plane barrier to see the high and mighty God Realm.]

["One hundred years have passed; it is time to emerge and settle everything."]

[You whisper softly, and though your voice is faint, the entire River of Time trembles in response.]
