The Chase: Merit Points, Don't Run Away

Bai Qianqian glanced at Liu Yi standing on the arena in the past timeline, then stared intently at the three Devil Lord who repeatedly tried to kill her.

She knew that with the Devil Lord's power, it would be difficult to truly interfere with the past, but she still dared not be careless.

No one could be sure whether the opponent's seemingly ordinary attack concealed a deadly move that could threaten Liu Yi.

More importantly, the location of that forbidden artifact remains unknown, and it is still believed to be hidden on the body of a Devil Lord.

The situation is beyond delay; if the other side uses prohibited weapons, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Once the decision was made, Bai Qianqian's eyes flashed with a cold light as she activated 536 Divine Aperture.

The special avatar formed from the Great Dao Dharma Manifestation Image within the Divine Aperture surged forth with boundless Law Power, its aura increasing dramatically.

The power of the Great Dao of Slaughter is fully concentrated in a single sword strike!

She raised her hand and unleashed this unparalleled strike. Countless killing sword lights merged into Return to Unity, transforming into a vast river of slaughter that swept across the Long River of Time, crashing down with overwhelming force.

The surrounding surging waves of time were forcibly cleaved apart, and the massive power of time was continuously evaporated and annihilated under the extreme destructive force.

All paths Destruction, and the order of the heavens collapsed.

Faced with this devastating blow, the three Devil Lord, Nether, Blood Bone, and Annihilation, instantly turned deathly pale, their hearts filled with terror.

This power far exceeded their limits of endurance. Even if the Devil Lord possessed Immortal Body and Immortal Divine Soul, he might still perish if hit head-on.

"Oh no! This move is too terrifying! Everyone, do everything in your power to stop it!"

At the critical moment, the Nether Devil Lord activated the Nether Devil Diagram, and billions of feet of demonic light soared into the sky, using the Great Dao of Nether to desperately resist the killing invasion;

Blood Bone Devil Lord activated his natal Blood Bone, unleashing a surge of crimson Dao power that exploded and crashed fiercely into the River of Slaughter;

The Annihilation Devil Lord unleashed countless Annihilation blades, desperately trying to block this overwhelming attack.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The earth-shattering collision resounded throughout the ages, and a violent torrent of energy swept across all directions, stirring up billions of feet of turbulent waves in the calmly flowing Long River of Time, causing endless turmoil in spacetime.

The River of Slaughter was unparalleled in its power; after being blocked for only a moment, it broke through all obstacles and directly struck the three Devil Lord.

The terrifying killing power instantly crushed and tore the three Devil Lord into a sky full of blood mist, and many of the Great Dao origins were wiped out on the spot!

"Aaaaaah--!"

The piercing screams echoed through the Long River of Time.

As the power of the River of Slaughter gradually dissipated, the remaining blood mist struggled to reassemble, transforming into the true forms of the three Devil Lord.

Their faces were deathly pale, their breaths weak, and they glanced at Bai Qianqian in terror. With no will to fight left, they turned and fled frantically downstream along the Long River of Time.

"Run! This man's combat power is terrifying; we are no match for him! The mission to kill Liu Yi has failed utterly!"

Bai Qianqian watched the three Devil Lord flee, glanced at Liu Yi across time and space, and then flashed away, following behind the three Devil Lord in full pursuit.

Liu Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he understood.

Bai Qianqian actually condensed all the Great Dao Dharma Manifestation into clones, and even allowed these clones to cultivate Cultivation Method, which was equivalent to having 536 special clones.

Although these special clones are not as strong individually as the main body, once they combine their powers, their overall strength will surge, and almost no one in the same realm can contend with them.

That sword strike just now unleashed the power of the clone, which is why it possessed such terrifying power, severely injuring the three Devil Lord in one fell swoop.

"The path of innovation that has been taken Qianqian is indeed full of potential, and its future is limitless."

He sighed inwardly, then his gaze hardened. "My physical body and soul are almost fully reconstructed; it's time to prepare for my attempt to break through to the Ruler Realm."

At this moment, within the Long River of Time, the Nether Devil Lord, the Blood Bone Devil Lord, and the Annihilation Devil Lord are fleeing in panic.

Looking across the entire Long River of Time, the battles continue to be fierce, and the overall situation has become one-sided.

As Human Race Immortal King arrived in droves, the Devil Race's original numerical advantage vanished, and they were instead completely crushed by the Human Race.

Countless Devil King had their demonic bodies shattered in succession, and many Devil King were suppressed;

The other Devil Lord were also forced into retreat, their demonic bodies repeatedly cracking. If not for their Immortal Body and Immortal Divine Soul, they would have perished long ago. If the stalemate continued, they would surely be wiped out.

"Monsters, they're all monsters! My Devil Race is no match for Human Race in the same realm. We only have a fighting chance because of our numerical advantage; otherwise, we have no chance of winning."

The Nether Devil Lord was filled with horror, and immediately issued a stern command, his voice resounding throughout the Long River of Time:

"Mission failed, everyone retreat immediately!"

The Devil King were horrified to see that the three great Devil Lord, Nether, Blood Bone, Annihilation, were severely injured and being chased by Bai Qianqian.

Already no match for the Human Race's powerful warriors, and now even the Devil Lord has met such a fate, the demons' fighting spirit instantly collapsed, and they all turned and fled for their lives.

"Damn it, even the Devil Lord is being hunted down! We need to retreat!"

"My God, the Human Race's fighting power is terrifying! Even three Devil Lord couldn't withstand them! If we don't run now, it'll be too late!"

"Hurry, hurry! Many fellow cultivators have already been suppressed; if we linger any longer, we'll suffer the same fate."

Suddenly, a brutal manhunt ensued along the Long River of Time.

The system host's morale soared, and they pressed their advantage, launching a massive attack to wipe out the fleeing demon Devil King.

The Devil Race, now all dead, had lost their will to fight and were only concerned with fleeing for their lives.

Unfortunately, no matter how strong the system host is, it is difficult to stop all cultivators of the same realm who are determined to escape.

Star Space.

Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow, who had just stepped out of the spatial portal, were utterly astonished upon hearing the news that the Devil Lord and Devil King had entered the Long River of Time in an attempt to kill Liu Yi when he was weak.

Others may not know Liu Yi's true strength, but they know perfectly well that Liu Yi has already become Martial Emperor, achieving a unity of past, present, and future.

The power of a mere Devil Lord or Devil King is utterly incapable of harming him in the slightest; such an act is tantamount to walking into a trap and courting his own destruction.

"Holy crap, these Devil Race are incredibly audacious! They actually dared to kill Brother Yi; they're practically asking for death!"

"Damn it, these Devil Race dared to kill my master."

Regardless of whether they can harm their owner, they must die.

Today, I, the Heaven-Devouring Divine Lord, will surely slay several Devil King.

Duoduo, let's quickly enter the Long River of Time and kill the Devil Race!

Just as Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow were about to enter the Long River of Time, a violent fluctuation in time suddenly appeared in front of them.

A large number of defeated Devil King rushed out of the Long River of Time and fled in panic towards the outside world.

A large number of system hosts followed closely behind, bursting out of the Long River of Time and relentlessly pursuing the defeated Devil Race, shouting loudly:

"The Devil Race are trying to escape! Everyone, let's hunt them down! We can't let them get away!"

Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow were startled by the sound. They never expected that the Devil Race would be completely defeated just as they arrived. If they lingered any longer, they might not even get a single Merit Points.

The man and dog immediately gave chase to the fleeing Devil Race, shouting:

"Don't run, you demons! If you escape, where am I supposed to kill Devil Race and earn Merit Points?"

"Don't run away! My Merit Points depend on you guys!"

They chased the demons out of the world's crystal wall only to discover that the Extraterrestrial Battlefield had already completely collapsed, and the Devil Race army had fled for their lives.

Watching the fleeing Devil Race, Qian Duoduo cried out in distress, his face contorted with pain:

"Damn it! I was only a step late, how come they all ran away? If you all escape, won't I lose all my Merit Points?!"

Little Yellow looked around.

The system hosts, numbering in the billions of Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal, are currently besieging the Devil Race army and Devil Beast, while millions of Immortal King are hunting down a group of Devil King. They quickly issued a warning:

"Let's rush up there! The Devil Race haven't completely escaped yet."

"Immediately activate your Money Asks the Way Divine Ability to stop a Devil King, and we'll join forces to kill it. Any later and we won't get a single hair."
