His body exploded with a bang, then reformed.
Then it exploded and then coalesced again.
The terrifying force of cause and effect shattered his body ten times before he could barely stabilize himself.
"Was that King of Immortality killed?" Shi Hao asked curiously.
"No, how could he die so easily!"
"What came here was not his true form, but merely a manifestation of his Dharma body. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to eliminate it so easily," Xiao Ping'an said.
To be honest, Xiao Ping'an was very happy cultivating in this River of Time, and he didn't want to be forced to leave this River of Time because of the Red King.
He was very comfortable practicing in this place, and he was also very comfortable at this point in time.
The thought that attacking the Red King might cause fluctuations in the River of Time, forcing him to leave this era and return to reality, only to search for a suitable time point again in the River of Time, made him feel somewhat uneasy.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ping'an even considered simply killing the Red King completely.
The Red King is an King of Immortality at the level of a Immortal King Giant, and his strength ranks among the top among Immortal King Giant.
Back when the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were at war with the Foreign Realm, a Immortal King Giant died at the hands of the Red King.
His primordial spirit and physical body were forcibly refined to death by the Red King, and then refined away.
For a powerhouse like Immortal King, defeating them is relatively easy.
If you want to kill it completely, that will be difficult.
The Red King's ability to kill a Immortal King Giant is worthy of praise above all else.
That's true, at least in this day and age.
An Lan, Yu Tuo, and Wu Shang are all quite strong, no weaker than the Red King.
Even stronger than the Red King.
This further strengthened Xiao Ping'an's resolve to kill the Red King completely.
I might as well do this one job here and then go back, and wait until the Ash Jar is completely obliterated by the power of cause and effect before making any further moves.
Shi Hao was very curious when he heard that the Red King had wanted to kill him long ago.
Shi Hao simply cannot comprehend this kind of combat style at the Immortal King level.
"Can the past, present, and future really be changed at will?" Shi Hao was extremely surprised that the wings had killed his present self in the past.
"Generally speaking, it cannot be easily changed; at least, even a Immortal King doesn't have the power to change it," Xiao Ping'an said.
"Generally speaking, those who can be killed are definitely destined to die in the future."
"If one is not destined to die, one will not be killed. Even if one were to force an attack from a different era, the final result would not be the enemy being killed, but one's own demise."
"The person who can kill you is someone who exists in the same spacetime dimension as you."
"Of course, this might only be limited by strength. If someone's strength transcends all the heavens and myriad realms, then it is possible to kill people from the past and future." Xiao Ping'an thought for a moment, thinking of the Sacrificial Dao and the beings Above Sacrificial Dao, and then added a sentence.
"If the Red King lost a Dharma Body, and it happened in the same era, then he would only suffer a severe blow to his vitality and would recover quickly after a period of time."
"But he entered the River of Time, forcibly entering after triggering a backlash from the power of cause and effect."
"Then the Red King will suffer a great loss."
"As for the injuries he suffered, they could be minor or major, and could last for a very long time."
"If he had suffered such severe damage countless ages ago, he would likely still be in a state of slumber by now, perhaps even already asleep."
"So, after you leave here, you don't need to worry at all that he will attack you again."
"The causal forces involved here are not so easily resolved."
Xiao Ping'an looked at Shi Hao, who seemed a little worried, and patiently explained a few things to him.
"So that's how it is..." Shi Hao immediately felt relieved.
The person in front of him was powerful and willing to guide him, which made Shi Hao feel inexplicably at ease.
Moreover, I have a vague feeling that I am somewhat familiar with this person, but I can't remember when I saw him before.
With this person shielding me from the Red King's attack, it seems I can now focus on my cultivation.
With such a powerful King of Immortality eyeing him, Shi Hao was genuinely worried that he would be cursed to death.
After all, I am far too weak, and I simply cannot withstand the Immortal King's covetousness.
Just as Xiao Ping'an was thinking of explaining the Thunder Emperor Precious Technique to Shi Hao and then sending him away, a deafening roar suddenly came from the upper reaches of the River of Time.
That was an even more magnificent and terrifying aura.
The murderous aura, like smoke and mist, surged and roared, flowing towards this place like a cascading Milky Way.
The violent fluctuations of the Great Dao were truly terrifying; the River of Time trembled violently, unleashing towering waves.
Xiao Ping'an saw that a Divine Temple had actually appeared in the River of Time.
Seated there was a figure as still as a stone statue—the Red King.
This time, it was actually the Red King in his true form that came.
Xiao Ping'an was somewhat surprised. Was this Red King really courting death?
He actually dared to send his true form into the River of Time.
Aren't you worried about being completely destroyed?
Don't they realize that anyone capable of killing his Dharma Form must be far weaker than him?
After all, that Dharma form can unleash the same power as the original body for a short period of time.
Shi Hao was also shocked.
Is this person truly willing to risk everything to kill me?
Would he rather perish than kill himself?
Shi Hao couldn't understand why this person harbored such malice towards him.
The Red King had not yet rushed over from the River of Time, but his cold and ruthless gaze was already fixed on this place like a blade.
At this moment, his whole body was engulfed in raging flames, and he was chanting some inexplicable incantation.
In a daze, he seemed to become the center of this River of Time, with the River of Time swirling and revolving around his body, like a huge black hole, causing everything to revolve around it while being constantly swallowed up.
Looking at the Red King was fighting desperately, Xiao Ping'an seemed to understand what was going on in a daze.
The fact that the Red King's true form dared to come here suggests that he must have something to rely on.
He was even certain that he would not perish here, which is why he simply entered the River of Time.
Thinking of the Ash Jar, Xiao Ping'an suddenly wondered if the Red King might also have some kind of trump card up his sleeve.
Has he found some precious treasure?
Rumble.
Just then, a chilling aura suddenly emanated from the air.
Xiao Ping'an instantly felt as if his soul and body were about to shatter.
This feeling was as if a great calamity was about to befall them; it was so real.
Suddenly, wisps of pitch-black mist appeared.
The source of that black mist was actually an enormous bone club.
Yes, it looked like the leg bone of a powerful being, emanating an endless stream of Dark Weird Substance.
The place where the Red King was located turned into a dark place, and even Xiao Ping'an could not see the true scene.
Xiao Ping'an was surprised to discover that the jet-black bone was very likely the leg bone of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and moreover, the leg bone of a Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor or a corrupted Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
This is something that doesn't seem to have appeared in the original text.
It's unknown how it fell into the hands of the Red King.
Or perhaps the black Quasi-Immortal Emperor leg bone in the original text originally fell into the hands of the Red King, but he secretly changed it so that others didn't notice, which is why it wasn't recorded in the original text.
As Xiao Ping'an watched, the Red King began to frantically devour the black mist, transforming in the blink of an eye into an enormous demon. Yes, the Red King became more ferocious and terrifying than ever before, too ugly to describe using Cthulhu; just call him a demon.
The Red King's body swelled infinitely, as if it were about to tear a hole in the sky above the River of Time.
That enormous body was truly unbelievably huge.
Xiao Ping'an's entire focus was fixed on the black bone.
The Red King is nothing to worry about; the real danger lies with that black bone.
His heart was filled with turmoil, his eyes flashed with light, and his body erupted with endless thunder.
He was enveloped in a terrifying bolt of lightning.
He stood up, his demeanor completely different from his calm and composed self just moments before.
Because he genuinely felt threatened by that black bone club.
Upstream in the River of Time, the black fog grows ever thicker, and the aura it exudes becomes increasingly terrifying.
The Red King, wielding a black bone club, charged forward along the River of Time.
That terrifying aura and pressure had surpassed the Immortal King realm; it was practically the aura of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Although he didn't possess the strength of a quasi- Quasi-Immortal Emperor Quasi-Immortal Emperor, his aura of that level was undeniable.
This aura of world-destroying destruction is truly terrifying.
This was the first time Xiao Ping'an had felt the power of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
He dared not be careless, his expression was solemn.
Rumble.
As if his body had been freed from its shackles, an unparalleled power emanated from Xiao Ping'an's body.
Shi Hao, who was being protected behind him, was also filled with shock. He hadn't expected that this so-called Thunder Emperor would still be holding back his strength.
Is this his true fighting strength?
Young Shi Hao was very envious.
Countless halos of lightning appeared around Xiao Ping'an's body, evolving into countless worlds that floated and sank around him.
The phantoms of gods and demons inside became increasingly solid, and the myriad things in heaven and earth also multiplied.
A mysterious and terrifying aura emanated from it.
Xiao Ping'an continuously drew and formed hand seals, and all the figures that looked exactly like Xiao Ping'an were also forming the same hand seals.
At this point, he was no longer limited to the Thunder Emperor Precious Technique.
Time, space, and reincarnation—the three Supreme laws are unleashed at full power.
Now that the decisive battle has begun, there's no need to hide anything.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
A sword of reincarnation appeared in Xiao Ping'an's hand, and he swung it, colliding with the figure.
The Ash Jar was thrown out immediately afterward.
With a deafening roar, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, River of Time flowed in all directions like an out-of-control flood.
Amidst the waves, scenes of annihilation unfolded one after another.
Spacetime is disordered; space itself is disordered.
It took a long time for things to calm down.
Under Xiao Ping'an's all-out attack, which combined millions of techniques into one move, an astonishing power was unleashed.
The wings and the terrifying black bone club disappeared, and everything returned to calm.
Xiao Ping'an was not injured, but he felt an extremely strong force of cause and effect coming towards him.
Even with Ash Jar, his body still cracked several times, splattering blood everywhere.
He looked like he was seriously injured.
"What's wrong with you?"
How are you feeling?
Shi Hao mistakenly believed that he was injured in the battle, not understanding that it was caused by being entangled by the power of cause and effect.
"It's nothing, just a little bit of causal energy."
"My actions this time, made in the River of Time, completely killing the Red King, may have had a significant impact."
"But you don't need to worry. I will take full responsibility for all the consequences. You can continue with your original cultivation methods and lifestyle without worrying about attacks from the Red King."
After Xiao Ping'an finished speaking, he closed his eyes, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment.
He was carefully trying to understand this force of cause and effect.
This magical power.
He had mastered the laws of time, space, and reincarnation, and had also cultivated the Thunder Emperor Precious Technique.
This was the first time Xiao Ping'an had experienced such a wondrous power of cause and effect.
Because previously, the causal force had been neutralized by the Ash Jar.
This time, for some unknown reason, perhaps because so many changes have occurred, the power of cause and effect is exceptionally strong.
Since the Ash Jar couldn't be erased in time, Xiao Ping'an was forced to bear part of the burden.
That black bone stick had been completely worn away by the Ash Jar.
Xiao Ping'an had originally been wondering if he could forge it into a weapon.
After all, even Xiao Ping'an felt threatened by this bone, which shows how outstanding its quality is. It should be no problem to forge it into a Immortal King Weapon.
However, the strong, Weird Substance emanating from it seemed to activate something on the Ash Jar.
The result was that it crumbled at the slightest touch; the black bone club completely turned to ashes, and the Weird Substance on it was also wiped away.
Xiao Ping'an had originally wanted to see this Weird Substance at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.
As for the Red King, under Xiao Ping'an's all-out attack, the Ash Jar's first target was the Red King, which was completely obliterated in an instant.
If it were any other attack method, it would be one thing, but Ash Jar is truly inconceivable and beyond the Red King's imagination.
Therefore, his death was not unjust.
To die from an attack by Ash Jar is a stroke of good luck.
After all, this Ash Jar was personally crafted by that supreme being.
After carefully comprehending the power of cause and effect, Xiao Ping'an felt he had gained a great deal.
I believe it can be compared to tens of thousands of years of ascetic practice.
The power of cause and effect is truly wondrous, containing mysterious laws of the Dao.
The Red King's true form, seemingly starting strong but ending weakly, had actually forced Xiao Ping'an to unleash his full power.
Xiao Ping'an also sensed the unique aura of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Perhaps this is one of Xiao Ping'an's greatest gains.
In addition, Xiao Ping'an also obtained wisps of Dark Weird Substance at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level from the Ash Jar.
This surprised and delighted him.
He is already immune to the Dark Weird Substance at the Immortal King level.
Perhaps these Dark Weird Substance at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level are the key to his immunity to this level of Weird Substance.
When their strength increases in the future, they won't be caught off guard when facing a dark powerhouse at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.
While Xiao Ping'an was comprehending the Dao, Shi Hao stared blankly at the River of Time.
Although he was also cultivating his spiritual practice, he still felt that his experiences during this period were truly extraordinary.
I never imagined that I would be hunted down by the King of Immortality; no one would believe it if I told them.
Little did he know that this so-called imposter Thunder Emperor was actually secretly protecting him?
Seeing that the so-called Thunder Emperor had entered a state of enlightenment, Shi Hao picked up the wine pot without hesitation and continued drinking.
Countless Great Dao Runes burst forth within his body; the more he drank, the weaker the taste of the wine became.
Because he has already gained a lot of insights, there is less and less new information he can gain from them.
He drank more and more, until finally he could no longer taste anything new.
He only put down the wine pot after it seemed to have no effect on him anymore.
Then he silently pondered the Dao again, waiting for Xiao Ping'an to wake up.
When Xiao Ping'an woke up, he was also greatly surprised.
I originally thought this pot of wine contained a lot more wine than mentioned in the original text.
I can at least get half of it myself.
Unexpectedly, Shi Hao really didn't consider himself an outsider, drinking at least 90% of the amount by himself.
It looks like it was ultimately useless, and quite a bit of it was consumed; what a waste.
" Shi Hao, Shi Hao, this pot of wine is the result of countless ages of aging; it's not just for you to drink alone."
"You almost wiped out the whole group by yourself."
"After drinking so much, is it still effective?" Xiao Ping'an couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing Xiao Ping'an's words, Shi Hao showed no shame whatsoever.
On the contrary, he felt that his ability to drink so much alcohol was due to his own superior skill.
He changed the subject.
"Senior, are you aware that a tremendous crisis has arisen in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? Darkness has begun to invade, just like that incredibly dense black mist that appeared earlier, filled with an eerie and deathly aura."
"I hope that you, senior, can return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and Nine Heavens and Ten Earths." Shi Hao said to Xiao Ping'an with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
Xiao Ping'an was not unaware of the current state of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but he felt it was not the right time to intervene.
When I first started using the Ash Jar to defy the River of Time, I even dreamed of dominating the world during the Perfect Era.
But what if you kill him? The resulting massive karmic backlash might change something.
It would be better to silently cultivate oneself in the River of Time with the Ash Jar, reaping all the benefits of the era, and having a greater chance of advancing to a higher level in the future to fight against those Dark Weird forces.
Xiao Ping'an looked at Shi Hao, at his sincere and solemn expression, and finally shook his head.
"Is it possible that you, senior, cannot leave this place?"
"Is there anything I can help you with? Please feel free to ask, senior," Shi Hao said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"You're still too weak. What I can't do, you certainly can't do either."
"You just need to continue your cultivation now, and we will meet again in the future," Xiao Ping'an said with a smile, shaking his head.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but that I don't belong to this era. I'm just a passerby in time. You'll understand in the future..."
