Chapter 203: The Abyss of Time

In the vast cosmos, the rise and fall of a galaxy is nothing more than a fleeting flash of mottled light. Gazing at the stars, a preordained melancholy lingers—where will you and I be in hundreds of years? Nations, the glow of civilizations, Earth—all are mere specks of dust in deep space. In a single moment the heavens shine, yet human lifetimes span millennia. Insect chirps mark an autumnal lifetime, and we all struggle against the current. At the end of the void, what truly awaits? In Li Hao’s eyes, in battles of the Way, life and death are natural—it’s all about the strength of one’s fist.

He turned his head to look at Chaos.

At this moment, Chaos had slain several Ninth-stage clones and numerous Eighth-stage strong foes. With each battle he grew fiercer, apparently gaining the upper hand. Clearly, this Ninth-stage original, empowered by Time, is immensely formidable.

Yet Li Hao could only sigh inwardly.

Time!

Time!

Sometimes, it inflicts far too much suffering.

Just like when he first encountered Time—the sensation was utterly intoxicating, impossible to escape. With Time at his command, he vanquished countless foes, but the price was enduring four full cycles of life and death!

Without those cycles, Li Hao would have long perished—lost to Time itself.

Chaos, you’re not young anymore!

Millions of years ago, these beings were already at the Ninth stage.

They’re not exactly known for their youth!

Time surges relentlessly, obliterating one Ninth-stage clone after another. But seriously—do you really have an infinite lifespan?

He pushed Time to nearly an Eighth-stage level.

Every use drains an enormous amount.

In truth, Chaos hardly seems to feel the strain. Only those who have wielded Time understand the sensation of drifting along its endless river, almost as if one were immortal.

Early on, Li Hao casually tapped into Time a few times—each use costing him an entire life cycle.

That depletion brought him to the very edge of life.

Chaos, can you reverse life and death?

If you can’t keep fighting like this, how long can you endure?

How long can your Ninth-stage power last?

Two million years?

Three million years?

Or even longer?

Time sealed the heavens and earth, shattering those Ninth-stage clones one after another. They were indeed ruthless—but have you noticed? Your hair has turned white!

How many can truly resist Time’s allure?

Even Li Hao eventually couldn’t hold out.

In his early days, he repeatedly unleashed Time, borrowing strength from the future and soaring into the past…

When did he finally come to his senses?

Only after dying several times in succession!

After his lifespan was abruptly cut short, memories erased and emotions dulled—only when he had nearly nothing left…

did he realize that Time had lured him into an abyss.

Even a man-king wouldn’t dare confront Time, for he knows he’d most likely succumb to its seduction.

He excels in one thing—so he chooses not to engage at all!

I know I can’t resist, so I refuse.

Initially, Li Hao lacked the capital to fight back; later, his clarity grew, and so he refused. Thus, today we witness Chaos mastering Time—perhaps the most glorious moment of his life!

Over twenty Ninth-stage clones and dozens of Eighth-stage Emperors were in play; aside from a few slain by Dragon War, he had eliminated seven or eight more!

This peak even surpassed the moment he first broke into the Ninth stage.

“Hahaha!”

A booming laugh and a resounding crash as Emperor Chaos smashed down yet another Ninth-stage Emperor clone, panting and laughing—at this moment, he had truly reached his pinnacle.

Invincible!

Surrounded by foes—once, arrogant powerhouses would storm in his presence, even if only as clones—each represented a shard of their former might.

But now, he had slain them one by one!

Even when massed foes were capable of taking down a true Ninth-stage, their numbers dwindled, utterly decimated by him!

Time is simply too powerful!

He employs just two techniques—no more.

First, Freeze Time and Space.

Second, Traverse the Long River.

The first immobilizes his enemies; the second propels him to blinding speeds. Killing and overpowering formidable adversaries—it’s as simple as that.

At this moment, Chaos appeared to understand why Li Hao had never been defeated!

With such abilities at his disposal, who could possibly stand against him?

Those of equal rank were practically obliterated in seconds!

Phew!

A heavy sigh echoed around.

Every powerful foe, bloodied and bruised, wore a grim expression.

Though merely a clone, he still possessed flesh and blood.

Harnessing the power of Time, Chaos continued to slaughter his opponents. When he first descended, over twenty Ninth-stage clones were present; now, only half remain.

Even the arriving Eighth-stage warriors were cut down by Chaos.

At this moment, had not Hun Tian, backed by the Ninefold Guard, been surrounding Chaos, he might have broken free!

However…

One by one, the Ninth-stage strong ones seemed to glimpse something; their eyes shifted subtly.

Chaos’s jet-black hair was nearly turning white!

A faint aura of decay began to surface around him.

Faces around him tensed—someone even glanced at Li Hao as new thoughts stirred within.

This…

Though Chaos wields formidable Time power, why does it seem as though he’s succumbing to decay?

Someone looked toward the Tianfang Lord.

At this moment, the Tianfang Lord seemed to have anticipated it; he merely glanced at Li Hao without a word.

Time takes lives.

Time cultivators, as they traverse past and future and freeze time, must bear the cost—each use of non-self Time drags down their lifespan. In later battles, Li Hao rarely relied on Time for combat.

Mostly, it served only as support.

In his early days… Li Hao suffered multiple life-death cycles.

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

Even if he could reverse life and death, he never mustered the will for it. A Chaos like him—whether or not he could reverse life and death—does he truly have enough energy for endless cycles?

He is, after all, a Ninth-stage Emperor!

The Tianfang Lord’s gaze shifted as he looked at Li Hao—this fellow surely understands Time’s pitfalls, yet Li Hao has never mentioned them. Now, with Chaos surrounded by enemies, he is breaking through.

In the vast cosmos, the rise and fall of a galaxy is but a fleeting flash of mottled light. Gazing at the stars, a preordained melancholy lingers—where will you and I be in hundreds of years? Nations, the glow of civilizations, Earth—all are mere specks of dust in the expanse of space. A moment of starlight, while human history spans millennia. A lifetime of insect chirps is just an autumn, as we all struggle against the current. At the end of the void—what truly awaits?
