Chapter 207: Eternal Shadows of Time

In the vast cosmos, the birth and death of a galaxy are merely fleeting shards of light. Gazing at the starry expanse fills one with a melancholy sense of destined ends—where will we, our nations, and our civilizations stand in centuries to come? Earth is nothing but a speck of dust in the deep void, a mere moment in the stars compared to a thousand years on Earth. The chirping of insects lasts only for an autumn, and yet we all struggle to keep afloat. What lies at the end of deep space? In Li Hao’s eyes, when it comes to adversaries of the Dao of Strife, life and death are commonplace; it’s solely a matter of whose fists are stronger.

He turned his head toward Chaos.

At this moment, Chaos had slain several nine-stage clones and numerous eight-stage experts. Growing fiercer with every battle, he now even held the advantage. Clearly, this nine-stage original, combined with the power of time, is overwhelmingly formidable.

Yet Li Hao could only sigh inwardly.

Time!

Time!

Sometimes, it truly is a curse.

Just like when he first encountered time—the sensation was intoxicating, drawing him in until escape was impossible. He had relied on time to vanquish countless foes, but it cost him four cycles of life and death!

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

Chaos, you’re no longer young!

A million years ago, these warriors had already reached nine-stage.

Where is youth now?

Time relentlessly drives forward, unbeatable and mighty, slaying one nine-stage clone after another. But is your lifespan truly limitless?

He had almost pushed time’s power to the level of eight-stage.

Each use drained an enormous amount of energy.

Yet in truth, Chaos felt little impact. Only those who have harnessed time understand that drifting in its endless river makes one feel nearly immortal.

In his early days, Li Hao exhausted an entire cycle of his lifespan with just a few uses of time.

That exhaustion brought him to the very brink of death.

Chaos, can you reverse life and death?

If you continue this relentless battle, how long can you sustain it?

How long can your nine-stage strength keep you alive?

Two million years?

Three million years?

Or even longer?

Time has locked down the heavens and the earth, reducing those nine-stage clones to a crumbling heap one after the other. Though they seemed fearsome, haven’t you noticed your hair turning white?

How many can really resist time’s lure?

Li Hao, in truth, never could.

In the early days, he repeatedly invoked time, borrowing power from the future and venturing into the past…

When did he finally awaken?

It was only after dying several consecutive times!

When his lifespan was halved, his memories erased, his emotions dulled—when he nearly lost all desire…

Only then did he realize that time had lured him into an abyss.

Even a sovereign wouldn’t dare to embrace time, for a true king knows he’d likely crumble under its allure.

He had one conviction: he would simply refuse it!

I know I can’t resist, so I choose nothing.

At first, Li Hao didn’t have the luxury. Later, when he gained clarity, he too rejected it, leading to today’s Chaos wielding time. Perhaps this moment marks Chaos’s most brilliant hour!

More than twenty nine-stage clones and dozens of eight-stage emperors—though Dragon War had slain a few—he had already cut down seven or eight more!

Such a peak even surpasses the moment he first ascended to nine-stage.

“Hahaha!”

A booming laugh and a resounding crash as Chaos once again pounded a nine-stage emperor clone into submission, gasping and laughing. In this moment, he had truly reached a pinnacle.

Unstoppable!

Surrounded by a throng of foes, once proud warriors who roamed boldly before him—each clone a representation of their master…

Now, he has decimated them one by one!

So many attackers, even capable of slaying a true nine-stage warrior, yet now their numbers dwindle, utterly massacred!

Time is just too powerful!

He uses only two techniques—nothing more.

First: Freeze Time and Space.

Second: Traverse the Long River.

The former immobilizes enemies, while the latter boosts his speed to incredible levels. Killing foes and overpowering the mighty—it’s shockingly simple.

In this moment, Chaos seemed to grasp why Li Hao had never been defeated!

With such ability, who can possibly stand against him?

Those of his own rank are almost obliterated in seconds!

Phew!

A heavy exhale resonated all around.

Each battle-hardened warrior, bloodied and battered, now bore solemn expressions.

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

Harnessing the power of time, Chaos continued to cut them down. When he arrived, there were over twenty nine-stage clones; now, only half remain.

The assisting eight-stage warriors have also suffered heavy casualties at Chaos’s hand.

At this moment, if not for Hun Tian, who, along with the Ninefold Guard, was encircling Chaos, perhaps he would have already broken free!

However…

Some nine-stage experts appeared to have seen something; their eyes shifted noticeably.

The cascade of dark hair on Chaos was now nearly white!

A faint aura of decay began to surface on him.

Murmurs rippled through the crowd! Some looked back toward Li Hao as unsettling thoughts formed.

This…

Chaos wields time’s power with formidable strength, yet why does it seem to be driving him toward decay?

Someone turned their gaze toward the Tianfang Lord.

At that moment, the Tianfang Lord seemed to have anticipated it. With a single glance at Li Hao, he remained silent.

Time can kill.

Time cultivators, traversing past and future, immobilizing time—each use of another’s time inevitably invites trouble and drains vast lifespans. In his later years, Li Hao rarely used time in battle.

It was mostly employed for support.

Earlier… Li Hao had undergone multiple cycles of life and death.

But Chaos did not understand the Dao of Life and Death.

Even if he could, he never truly mustered the will to defy life and death. With such Chaos, whether he could reverse life and death is doubtful—even if he could, does he have the energy for another cycle?

After all, he’s a nine-stage emperor!

The Tianfang Lord glanced at Li Hao with shifting expressions. This guy must know well the pitfalls of time; yet Li Hao had never mentioned them. Now, as Chaos is encircled by enemies, he is breaking through.
