"Boom!"
Chen Qingyu's fist strike broke through the dark airflow and slammed straight upwards.
To his surprise, the Lord of Time neither dodged nor avoided the punch, letting it land on him.
"Um?"
Chen Qingyu's eyes flashed, and he became wary.
But nothing happened.
Everything happened according to normal logic:
Chen Qingyu's punch unleashed a devastating force capable of shattering the heavens and destroying the earth.
The Lord of Time was blasted away like a cannonball, crashing through layers of dark energy and slamming into the walls of the underground palace.
"Cough cough..."
He coughed up blood, his body developed shocking cracks, and his breath suddenly weakened.
But the next moment:
All his injuries vanished without a trace, even the blood at the corner of his mouth disappeared.
"This..."
Chen Qingyu paused for a moment, then unleashed his divine sense to explore the changes in spacetime with all his might:
"What kind of Daoist technique is this?"
He circulated the Power of Myriad Calamities, mastered the Law of Space-Time, and keenly sensed a faint, almost imperceptible change in spacetime.
But this slight change was so minute that it vanished in an instant, making it difficult for him to catch.
"Boom!"
Before Chen Qingyu could make any further changes, the Lord of Time charged forward again.
"Bang!" "Thump!" "Boom!"...
The two engaged in a fierce battle, the aftershocks of which spread far and wide, completely destroying the underground palace. Broken bricks and stones, mixed with dark currents, rose everywhere.
In a direct confrontation, without the blessing of " Kaiyuan of Myriad Ages ", the Lord of Time was clearly at a disadvantage and was suppressed by Chen Qingyu.
But what's frightening is—
No matter how severe the injury, whether it is a wound on the Dao Path, damage to the soul, or physical injury, the Lord of Time ignores it all!
No matter how horrific the injury, it could not linger on his body; it vanished instantly, as if washed away by the river of time.
"What kind of Daoist magic is this?!"
Chen Qingyu was shocked, and a change appeared in his eyes.
Unlike " Kaiyuan of Myriad Ages ", even he couldn't discern the slightest secret of the Lord of Time's trump card.
No matter how hard he tried to investigate the tiny, faint fluctuations in spacetime, he could not detect the true movement and was helpless in the face of it.
"No, we have to think of a way!"
Thoughts flashed rapidly through Chen Qingyu's mind.
If they keep fighting like this for another ten thousand years, they might not be able to determine a winner.
However, the Lord of Time's strongest trump card is definitely not simply invincible protection without the ability to kill.
He must be gathering strength, waiting for the moment to counterattack. We must not let our guard down!
"However, when he counterattacks, he will reveal his weakness, which will be the best opportunity to observe him."
"I understand this, and so does the Lord of Time. Therefore, if he doesn't act, all will be well; but once he does, his counterattack will be earth-shattering and decisive."
"I need to be prepared for this, lest I end up making a mess of things..."
Upon realizing this, Chen Qingyu's Inner Heaven and Earth's Dao of Myriad Calamities began to operate rapidly once again.
The epic battle between the two continues.
Watching from afar, Danyang Ju saw the Lord of Time fall into a disadvantageous position and be brutally beaten by Chen Qingyu, but he showed no joy. Instead, he became increasingly uneasy.
How could the Lord of Time, the most senior and powerful Heavenly Lord, be defeated so easily?
After an unknown amount of time:
"Boom!"
Chen Qingyu's latest outburst sent the Lord of Time flying once more, nearly crashing through the walls of the underground palace.
This time, however, after the Lord of Time fully recovered, he did not rush forward.
He's about to make his move!
Chen Qingyu immediately realized what was happening and stared at him as if facing a formidable enemy.
Chen Qingyu.
The Lord of Time smiled slightly and said casually:
"I have to admit, you are the strongest opponent I've ever encountered."
"Your Dao of Myriad Calamities Calamity is incredibly powerful, and you wield far too many laws, enough to restrain almost every Heavenly Lord. Even I suffered a great loss because of it."
"But unfortunately, this time, I won my gamble!"
As soon as he finished speaking:
He raised his hand, pointed lightly at Chen Qingyu, and said calmly:
"Daoist Technique - Space-Time Mirror Reversal!"
"Boom!"
An indescribable, terrifying torrent roared forth.
This torrent was thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger than Chen Qingyu's full-force attack, and it was already infinitely close to the power of a supreme being in the Immeasurable Realm.
Before Chen Qingyu could even react, he was struck by this torrent. He resisted for less than a fraction of a second before being blasted to pieces, his spiritual light scattering everywhere, and he exploded like a firework.
" Qingyu!!"
Danyang Ju cried out, but could only watch helplessly as Chen Qingyu's aura vanished completely!
Chen Qingyu's second true form has perished just like that!
"Rumble..."
After killing Chen Qingyu, the torrent swept away the entire underground palace, causing nearby passageways and burial chambers to collapse as well.
The power of this attack was truly terrifying; even if hundreds or thousands of Third Step powerhouses joined forces, they couldn't withstand it!
Even the seemingly indestructible tomb itself was extensively damaged!
"Oh..."
The Lord of Time smiled slightly and said leisurely:
"I won."
" The Primordial Spring is finally mine!" said Meow Meow.
As he finished speaking:
Danyang Ju and the Mystery Lord fell silent.
"Yeah?"
But then, an untimely voice rang out:
"I'm afraid that's not necessarily true!"
The Lord of Time's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in shock:
" Chen Qingyu, you're not dead?!"
"That's impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible..."
Streams of light converged, and time and space seemed to flow backward, piecing together Chen Qingyu's true form.
His aura was still at its peak, and he was completely unharmed.
" Lord of Time."
He raised his head, looked at the Lord of Time in mid-air, and smiled slightly:
"You have ways to save your life, and so do I."
"This time, you miscalculated."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Time clenched his teeth.
He was very clear:
Ordinary life-saving trump cards, even resurrection techniques similar to those of the previous Dao Lord, would not be effective against this level of power.
The only explanation is that Chen Qingyu temporarily created a life-saving technique specifically for him.
Because no matter how he tries to retaliate, he will always be bound by the principles of time and space. With time and space as the foundation, he can naturally counter all of his methods!
"Call..."
Having figured this out, the Lord of Time took a deep breath and looked at him with a complex expression:
" Chen Qingyu... you're really amazing!"
Chen Qingyu smiled and said slowly:
"What a pity, you were one step behind."
"The same trick won't work on me a second time."
Since the Lord of Time's counterattack failed to kill him, he naturally seized the opportunity to truly glimpse the profound mysteries of the Lord of Time's Daoist arts.
That is to cut through time, shift space, and ultimately merge them!
Simply put:
The Lord of Time divided the flow of time in which he lived into the smallest units of time, and then formed these units of time into a complete cycle.
After he activated his Daoist magic, his true form circulated through the smallest units of time, which meant that he was dying and being reborn at every moment.
Even if you injure him or even kill him, you are only killing the him of the previous time unit, not the him of the present.
This unit of time is extremely small; even a single instant can be divided into hundreds of billions of units of time.
It can be said that:
The Lord of Time, possessing such Daoist arts, is truly invincible; as long as his Daoist arts remain unbroken, he will not die.
Even more impressively, he can utilize the offensive power of his opponents, using time and space shifting to gather external power and unleash another Daoist technique, " Space-Time Mirror Reversal," to use their own methods against them.
When thousands or tens of thousands of times more power are combined, who can withstand it?
Even Chen Qingyu, if he hadn't taken precautions beforehand and created a life-saving technique targeting time and space, would probably have truly perished!
" Lord of Time!"
He raised his head, looked at the Lord of Time, and said calmly:
Should we continue fighting?
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Time's expression became complicated, and he fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.
He was fully aware of Chen Qingyu's abilities, but he was betting that Chen Qingyu's magic wouldn't be broken before he could use " Space-Time Mirror Reversal," thus eliminating him in one strike.
But unfortunately:
He thought he had won the bet, but in reality, he had lost.
Now that Chen Qingyu is still alive, he has most likely glimpsed the secret, and it would not be difficult for him to create another technique to counter it.
His defeat was inevitable, and there was no way to turn the tide.
"... You win."
The Lord of Time slowly closed his eyes, a bitter feeling welling up inside him:
"From this day forward, you shall be the First Heavenly Lord."
" The Primordial Spring... is yours now."
