The Sword of Time

He Luo’s tactic was to restrain Duan Ling Tian with the law of death before delivering a heavy blow. However, his plan failed when Duan Ling Tian broke free and teleported away.

Swoosh!

The powerful knife ray descended and cut a towering glacier in half. When the upper half of the glacier tumbled down, it set off an avalanche that shook the ground while a small spatial tear in the sky began to mend itself.

“Use your bloodline power. Otherwise, I’ll be able to defeat you in three moves.”

Duan Ling Tian’s nonchalant voice echoed in the sky, but he was nowhere to be seen.

He Luo’s expression darkened when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

“How confident! I’ll show you how powerful my bloodline power is!”

As soon as his voice fell, He Luo cast his bloodline power. As blood qi rose from his body, his strength rose significantly and his knife turned red.

At this moment, the contempt in He Luo’s heart had completely disappeared. After Duan Ling Tian broke free from his law of death, he finally realized how strong Duan Ling Tian was. After all, 90% of powerhouses who comprehended the law of death to the perfect form were not capable of using it the way he had used it earlier. It was a technique that his great-great-grandfather had helped him develop. It was thanks to this technique that he was able to easily defeat opponents with the same cultivation base. However, Duan Ling Tian managed to free himself without using his doppelgangers or bloodline power. This alone showed how strong Duan Ling Tian was. Under such circumstances, how could he dare to be careless at this moment?

“Do you think I won’t be able to find you if you hide?” He Luo asked as his eyes flashed. At the same time, his Divine Consciousness swept through his surroundings. In the next moment, a knife ray shot out.

When the knife ray shot out, Duan Ling Tian suddenly appeared in front of it. Then, he quickly disappeared again, dodging the knife ray before charging toward He Luo with the sword in his hand.

‘Wait, something’s not right!’

He Luo very quickly noticed that the person in front of him lacked vitality even if he resembled Duan Ling Tian. Even the seven-colored sword in Duan Ling Tian was the same. Since he comprehended the law of death, he was very sensitive to vitality energy, unlike ordinary people.

‘It’s his doppelganger!’

It did not take long for He Luo to figure it out. He launched a knife ray toward the doppelganger before he flew away.

Swoosh!

As soon as He Luo flew away, another figure appeared where he originally stood as a grey sword ray shot out of a spatial tear. Duan Ling Tian had teleported away and attacked while He Luo was distracted, but He Luo reacted quickly and managed to escape.

Meanwhile, the two supreme powerhouses watched the fight with bright eyes.

As for Hu Fei Yan and Tan Xiu Teng, they were shocked and felt anxious for He Luo. They did not think they would be able to react in time if they were in He Luo’s shoes.

‘Although I’m no match for the young master and Deputy Commander Hu, I thought I was on par with Lord Ku Mu’s descendant… However, after watching this, I don’t think I’d be able to withstand more than a dozen moves from him,’ Tan Xiu Teng thought to himself, feeling disheartened.

Tan Xiu Teng was considered a genius in the Divine Sand Realm, and he took pride in this. However, after witnessing how monstrous He Luo and Duan Ling Tian were despite being younger than 10,000 years old, he felt embarrassed to call himself a genius.

“He Luo’s reaction time is amazing. He’s able to detect Li Feng’s doppelganger so quickly and dodge Li Feng’s attack,” Han Wang said as he looked at Ku Mu.

“That’s because he comprehends the law of death. Those who comprehend the law of death can quickly sense the lack of vitality in doppelgangers in just a moment,” Ku Mu said with a smile, “If he didn’t comprehend the law of death, he might have been minorly injured by Li Feng earlier.”

A hint of excitement could be seen in Ku Mu’s eyes, amazed by Duan Ling Tian’s strength. Duan Ling Tian was younger than He Luo, but he was so powerful. Duan Ling Tian was undoubtedly a monster among monsters.

Han Wang shook his head and said, “Brother Ku Mu, based on the current situation, He Luo might not be able to withstand more than ten moves from Li Feng.”

Meanwhile, after He Luo dodged the attack, Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger flew toward He Luo. With just two moves, they managed to suppress He Luo and gained the upper hand.

‘The difference in their strength is too great…’ Ku Mu thought to himself in shock. Then, he said with a sigh, “His Sword Dao is too terrifying… I don’t think any supreme powerhouses in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds, excluding World Supreme Powerhouses, have comprehended the Sword Dao to such a high level!”

Han Wang nodded in agreement as he said, “Indeed… It’s difficult to think of anyone, excluding World Supreme Powerhouses, who can rival his Sword Dao in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. Perhaps, only the Sword Dao of the Sword of Time from the God Defying World was stronger than that of Li Feng…”

Ku Mu turned pensive upon hearing Han Wang’s words.

The Sword of Time was a genius from the same generation as Yuan He, Ku Mu’s father. Just like Yuan He, he was an imminent World Supreme Powerhouse. In the past, Yuan He was defeated by the Sword of Time. Unfortunately, the Sword of Time offended a World Supreme Powerhouse in the past and was killed. Otherwise, he would have become a World Supreme Powerhouse by now. According to Yuan He, Ku Mu also learned that the Sword of Time’s law of time became stagnant after reaching the perfect form, and it was thanks to his Sword Dao that he became an imminent World Supreme Powerhouse. Without his Sword Dao, he would be ranked at the bottom among the supreme powerhouses in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds.

“Even among World Supreme Powerhouses, the Sword of Time’s Sword Dao was unrivaled…” Ku Mu muttered under his breath.

…

If Duan Ling Tian overheard this conversation between Ku Mu and Han Wang, he would have been shocked to learn that the God Defying World, where he had come from, had such a monstrous sword expert in the past. If his master, Feng Qing Yang, had heard it, he would have recognized the Sword of Time that the duo mentioned. After all, he had inherited his sword skills from the Sword of Time. The Sword of Time could be considered Feng Qing Yan’s master and Duan Ling Tian’s grandmaster. Alas, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that Feng Qing Yang had inherited his sword skills from the Sword of Time.

…

Meanwhile, Hu Fei Yan shook her head and murmured to herself, “He’s lost the fight…”

As soon as Hu Fei Yan’s voice fell, a loud explosion rang in the air.

He Luo fell to the ground after Duan Ling Tian’s attack landed. A huge hole appeared in the thick layer of ice, and he was nowhere to be seen. After a few moments, he emerged from the freezing water. His face was pale as he exclaimed, “H-how’s this possible?! He’s so much younger than me, but he’s so much stronger! Impossible!”

He Luo did not suffer any serious injuries, but he seemed to be suffering from a mental breakdown at this moment.
