Chapter 200: Fleeting Dance of Time

In the vast cosmos, the rise and fall of a galaxy is nothing more than a fleeting dance of light and shadow. Gazing at the stars evokes a melancholy of destined endings—where will we be in a thousand years? Nations, the glow of civilization, Earth—merely a speck of dust adrift in the void. A moment in the stars; a millennium on Earth. Like the transient chirp of insects in autumn, we all struggle to forge our path. What truly lies at the edge of the abyss? For Li Hao, life and death were routine; only the strength of one’s fists truly mattered.

He turned to look at Chaos.

At this moment, Chaos had slain several Nine-tier clones and many eight-tier elites. Growing ever fiercer in battle, he now held the advantage. Clearly, the arrival of this prime Nine-tier entity, empowered by the force of time, showcased his extraordinary might.

Yet Li Hao could only sigh inwardly.

Time, oh Time!

Time, oh Time!

Sometimes, it can be so cruel.

Just as when he first encountered it—the sensation was intoxicating, dragging him in with no escape. He had relied on time to defeat countless foes, but the price was four life cycles.

Without those cycles, Li Hao would have long perished—lost within time itself.

Chaos, you’re not getting any younger!

A million years ago, these warriors were already at the Nine-tier level.

There’s no way they’re still young!

Time presses on relentlessly, unstoppable and mighty, decimating one Nine-tier clone after another. But do you really have an infinite lifespan?

He pushed time’s force nearly to an eight-tier magnitude.

Each use drained an enormous amount of lifeforce.

Yet Chaos felt little strain—as only those who have harnessed time can understand, drifting along its endless river can make one feel immortal.

In his early days, Li Hao had only tapped into time a few times, each costing him one cycle.

Each use pushed him closer to the edge of life.

Chaos, can you reverse life and death?

If you can’t sustain such fierce battles, how long can you really last?

How long can your Nine-tier strength endure?

Two million years?

Three million years?

Or even longer?

Time sealed the heavens and earth, shattering the Nine-tier clones one after another. Though they initially appeared formidable, haven’t you noticed your hair turning white?

How many can resist the lure of time?

In truth, Li Hao couldn’t escape its pull.

Early on, he repeatedly tapped into time, borrowed power from the future, and journeyed into the past.

When did he finally awaken?

Only after experiencing multiple deaths!

After his lifespan was cut short, his memories erased, his emotions dulled—only when he almost lost all desire…

Did he realize that time had lured him into the abyss?

Even mighty kings dare not embrace time, for they know they’d likely crumble beneath its seduction.

He was resolute—he chose to opt out completely!

I knew I couldn’t resist, so I refused.

Initially lacking the means, Li Hao eventually became lucid and opted out. Thus, Chaos now commands time. Perhaps this is the most glorious moment of his life!

Over twenty Nine-tier clones and dozens of eight-tier emperors fell—apart from a few slain by Dragon War, he had already cut down seven or eight more!

This peak moment even surpassed the time when he first ascended to the Nine-tier.

“Hahaha!”

A booming laugh and crashing sound heralded as Chaos, the Emperor, struck down another Nine-tier emperor clone. Gasping and laughing, he had truly reached his pinnacle.

Invincible!

Surrounded by countless foes—once arrogant warriors, even if merely clones, each representing their own might…

Now, he slashed them down one by one!

Though encircled by enemies capable of slaying a true Nine-tier, their numbers dwindled as he obliterated them.

Time, you are unbeatable!

Chaos employed only two techniques, and that was enough.

First, Freeze Time and Space.

Second, Traverse the Long River.

The first immobilizes his enemies, and the second propels his speed to the extreme. Slaying foes and elites was shockingly simple.

At this moment, Chaos seemed to grasp why Li Hao never lost a battle.

Who could possibly stand against such power?

Warriors of the same tier were nearly all dispatchable in a matter of seconds!

Phew!

His breath echoed all around.

Every mighty warrior, blood-soaked and battered, now wore grim expressions.

Though they were merely clones, they still possessed flesh and blood.

Chaos, wielding the power of time, continued his relentless onslaught. When he first arrived, there were over twenty Nine-tier clones; now, only half remained.

Even the eight-tier warriors coming to reinforce were decimated by Chaos.

At this point, had it not been for Hun Tian leading the Ninefold Guard to pounce on Chaos, he might have already broken through!

However…

Every Nine-tier elite seemed to have sensed something, their eyes betraying a change.

That mass of black hair atop Chaos was now almost turning white!

A faint aura of decay began to seep over him.

Faces grew tense, and some turned to look at Li Hao as thoughts stirred within.

This…

Chaos wields time with formidable might, but why does he now seem to be falling into decay?

Some cast their eyes toward the Tianfang Lord.

In that moment, the Tianfang Lord, as if having anticipated this, merely glanced at Li Hao and remained silent.

Time can kill.

Temporal cultivators traverse the past and future, freezing time and space—but each time, borrowing external time brings immense trouble and drains vast lifeforce. In later battles, Li Hao rarely relied on time.

Mostly, he used it as an auxiliary force.

In his early days… Li Hao endured numerous life cycles.

And yet, Chaos is not bound by the cycle of life and death.

Even if he could, he never truly mustered the will to challenge life and death. So, whether Chaos can reverse life and death, does he even have the energy for another cycle?

After all, he is a Nine-tier Emperor!

The Tianfang Lord fixed his shifting gaze on Li Hao. This guy must know the pitfalls of time, yet Li Hao never mentioned them. At this moment, as Chaos was encircled and fighting his way out…

In the vast cosmos, the rise and fall of a galaxy is nothing more than a fleeting dance of light and shadow.
