Chapter 210: Eternal Currents of Time

In the vast cosmos, the rise and fall of a star system is nothing more than a fleeting glimmer. Gazing at the night sky always carries a hint of destined tragedy—where will we be in centuries to come? Nations, civilizations, even Earth, are mere specks of dust adrift in the endless void. A moment of starlight, a thousand years of human struggle. The chirp of an insect lasts but an autumn, and yet we all fight against the current. What lies at the farthest edge of deep space? To Li Hao, facing foes of fate, it’s simply about who wields the mightiest fist.

He turned to look at Chaos.

At this moment, Chaos had decimated multiple Ninth-Level clones and slain several Eighth-Level experts. Growing ever more ruthless, he even seemed to seize the advantage. Clearly, the true Ninth-Level presence accompanied by the force of time is exceedingly formidable.

Yet Li Hao could only sigh inwardly.

Oh, time!

Oh, time!

Sometimes, it truly is too cruel.

Just as when he first encountered time—the sensation was intoxicating, impossible to escape. He had used time to conquer countless enemies, but at the cost of enduring four cycles of life and death!

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

“Chaos, you’re not as young as you once were!”

A million years ago, these beings were already Ninth-Level.

They’re far from young now!

Time relentlessly drives forward, invincible and overwhelming, slashing through clone after clone of Ninth-Level warriors. But do you really believe your lifespan is endless?

He had nearly pushed time’s power to the Eighth-Level.

Each activation drained an immense amount.

Yet in truth, Chaos seemed almost unaffected. Only those who have wielded time understand that floating along its current can feel like eternal life.

In his early days, Li Hao used time sparingly—each usage costing a cycle of lifespan.

And once that lifespan was exhausted, he reached the end of his mortal journey.

“Chaos, can you truly reverse life and death?”

If you can’t continue this relentless battle, how long could you last?

How long can your Ninth-Level power sustain you?

Two hundred million years?

Three hundred million years?

Or perhaps even longer?

Time sealed the heavens and earth, scattering those Ninth-Level clones one by one. They appeared fearsome indeed, but have you noticed your hair turning white?

How many can truly resist time’s allure?

Li Hao himself eventually succumbed to its pull.

In his early days, repeatedly wielding time, borrowing power from the future and journeying to the past…

When did he finally awaken?

Only after dying several times in succession!

After his lifespan was halved, his memories erased, and his emotions dulled—when he was nearly devoid of desire…

That was when he realized time had lured him into the abyss.

Even a king among men wouldn’t dare to embrace time, for deep down, he knew he’d likely be overwhelmed by its seduction.

He was strong enough—so he simply chose not to fight it.

“I know I can’t resist, so I choose not to.”

Li Hao initially lacked that luxury, but later clarity set in. And so, Chaos came to command time. Perhaps this very moment marks the pinnacle of Chaos’s existence!

Over twenty Ninth-Level clones and dozens of Eighth-Level Emperors surrounded him. At this moment, aside from a few slayed by Dragon War, he had already eliminated seven or eight himself!

This peak even surpassed the moment he first ascended to the Ninth Level.

“Ha ha ha!”

A booming laugh and a mighty blow later, Chaos smashed a Ninth-Level Emperor clone once more. Panting and laughing, he had truly reached his zenith.

Invincible!

Once, countless warriors had rampaged before him; even their clones embodied their own might.

But now, one by one, he had cut them down!

Though surrounded by enough opponents to slay a true Ninth-Level expert, their numbers dwindled, reduced to nearly nothing!

“Time is just too formidable!”

He didn’t need myriad techniques—just two were sufficient.

First, Freeze Time and Space.

Second, Traverse the Long River.

The first left his foes immobilized; the second cranked his speed to its maximum. Dispatching enemies and overpowering the strong—it turned out to be that simple.

Now, Chaos seemed to grasp why Li Hao never lost a battle!

With such power, who could possibly challenge him?

Almost every peer was at risk of being obliterated in an instant!

Huff!

The sound of his breath echoed all around.

Every warrior, drenched in blood, bore a grim expression.

Though merely clones, they possessed flesh and blood.

Harnessing time’s might, Chaos continued his ruthless slaughter. When he first arrived, there were over twenty Ninth-Level clones; now, only half remain.

Even the incoming Eighth-Level reinforcements were cut down by Chaos.

At this moment, if not for Hun Tian leading the Ninefold Guard to trap Chaos, he might have broken through!

But then…

Each Ninth-Level expert seemed to witness something, their eyes shifting in expression.

Chaos’s once jet-black hair was now almost entirely streaked with white!

A subtle aura of decay began to emerge around him.

A murmur rippled through the crowd as some turned to look at Li Hao, their thoughts suddenly stirred.

This…

Despite wielding mighty time power, why did Chaos seem to be deteriorating?

Someone glanced toward the Tianfang Lord.

At that very moment, the Tianfang Lord appeared to have foreseen it all, offering Li Hao but a silent look.

“Time can kill.”

Time cultivators who traverse the past and future, who immobilize time—using someone else’s time always entangles trouble and drains their lifespan. In later days, Li Hao rarely used time in combat.

Most of his usage became auxiliary.

In his early days… Li Hao underwent countless cycles of life and death.

But Chaos did not walk the path of life and death.

Even if he could, he never truly mustered the will to defy life and death. Such a Chaos—whether he can reverse life and death—is he even capable of enduring another cycle?

After all, he is a Ninth-Level Emperor!

The Tianfang Lord eyed Li Hao with shifting emotions. This guy surely knows the flaws of time, though Li Hao never discussed them. At this moment, Chaos, surrounded by foes, was breaking through.

In the vast cosmos, the rise and fall of a star system is nothing more than a fleeting glimmer. Gazing at the night sky brings the sorrow of inevitable endings—where will we be in centuries? Nations, civilizations, Earth; all are mere dust in deep space. A moment of starlight, a thousand years of human strife. The chirp of an insect lasts an autumn, and yet we all row against the current. What truly lies at the end of the cosmic void?
