Chapter 206: Eternal Flux of Time

In the vast cosmos, the rise and fall of an entire galaxy is nothing more than a fleeting display of mottled starlight. Gazing at the sky, one can’t help but feel a sorrowful certainty that our fate is sealed. In centuries to come, where will we be? Nations, civilizations, the glow of Earth—it is all but a speck of dust in the deep void. A moment in the stars, a millennium on Earth; the chirp of insects lasts but an autumn, and we all struggle against the current. What lies at the end of the endless void? In Li Hao’s eyes, life and death are mere matters of strength.

He turned his gaze toward Chaos.

At this moment, Chaos had slain several Ninth-Stage clones and eliminated many Eighth-Stage experts. As he fought on, his power only grew, clearly gaining the upper hand—demonstrating just how formidable this Ninth-Stage original was when combined with the force of Time.

Yet Li Hao sighed inwardly.

Oh, Time!

Oh, Time!

Sometimes, it can be terribly cruel.

Just like when he first encountered Time—a sensation so intoxicating it was impossible to resist. He had relied on Time to defeat countless foes, yet the price was four cycles of life and death.

Had it not been for these cycles, Li Hao would have perished—lost within the currents of Time itself.

“Chaos, you’re no longer young!”

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

They are far from youth now!

Time relentlessly drives forward, unstoppable and mighty, annihilating one Ninth-Stage clone after another. But tell me, do you really believe your lifespan is infinite?

He pushed the force of Time nearly to the Eighth Stage level.

Each surge came at an enormous cost.

Yet Chaos felt little strain. Only those who have wielded Time know the sensation of drifting along its endless river, almost as if one were immortal.

Earlier, Li Hao had dipped into Time a few times—each use depleting a cycle of his lifespan.

Until he reached the end of his life.

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

If you can’t keep up this fierce battle, how long can you really last?

How long can your Ninth-Stage power sustain you?

Two million years?

Three million years?

Or even longer?

Time blocks both heaven and earth, scattering those Ninth-Stage clones one by one. Though formidable, haven’t you noticed your hair has turned white?

How many can resist the allure of Time?

In truth, Li Hao never could.

In his early days, he tapped into Time repeatedly—drawing strength from both the future and the past.

When did he finally come to his senses?

It was only after he had faced death multiple times!

When his lifespan was severed, his memories eroded, his emotions faded—only then, when he had almost lost all desire,

did he understand that Time had lured him into the abyss.

Even a mighty King of Men would dare not embrace Time, for he knew he would likely be overwhelmed by its allure.

And Li Hao, strong as he was, simply decided to forgo it.

He knew he couldn’t resist, so he chose to abandon it.

At first, Li Hao lacked that capital; later, when he became lucid, he relinquished it entirely—thus, Chaos now wields Time. Perhaps this is the most glorious moment in Chaos’s life!

Over twenty Ninth-Stage clones and dozens of Eighth-Stage Sovereigns. At this moment, aside from a few taken down by Dragon War, Chaos had already slain seven or eight of them!

This pinnacle even surpasses the moment he once stepped into the Ninth Stage.

“Ha ha ha!”

A booming laugh and a resounding crash as Chaos struck down another Ninth-Stage Sovereign clone. Gasping for breath and laughing heartily, he had truly reached a zenith.

Invincible!

Surrounded by so many foes—each once arrogant and powerful in their own right, even if merely clones—they all represented their masters.

Yet now, one by one, Chaos had cleaved them apart!

So many attackers, capable of slaying even a true Ninth-Stage being, but now their numbers dwindled, all butchered by him!

Time is just too overwhelming!

He doesn’t need many techniques—only two will suffice.

First: Freeze Time and Space.

Second: Traverse the Long River.

The former immobilizes foes, while the latter boosts his speed to its peak. Killing enemies, exterminating the mighty—it’s surprisingly simple.

At this moment, Chaos seemed to understand why Li Hao remained undefeated through countless battles!

With such power, who can stand against him?

Almost every peer is being taken down in a single strike!

Phew!

The sound of exhalation echoed all around.

Each formidable opponent, bloodied from head to toe, now wore a grave expression.

Though merely a clone, each possessed flesh and blood.

Powered by the force of Time, Chaos continued to slice through them. When he first arrived, there were over twenty Ninth-Stage clones; now, only half remain.

Even the reinforcing Eighth-Stages were decimated by Chaos.

At this juncture, if not for Hun Tian accompanied by the Ninefold Guard cutting through Chaos, he might have broken through already!

However…

Every Ninth-Stage expert seemed to see something—they exchanged glances that betrayed a subtle change.

Chaos’s once-black hair had almost turned white!

A faint aura of decay was beginning to seep from him.

A murmur ran through the onlookers—with some glancing back at Li Hao, their minds racing with new thoughts.

This…

Chaos may wield Time with immense strength, but why does he seem to be degrading?

Some turned their eyes toward the Tianfang Lord.

At this moment, the Tianfang Lord seemed to have long expected this. With just one glance at Li Hao, he remained silent.

Time can kill.

Time cultivators traverse the past and future, freezing time and space. Using someone else’s Time always brings trouble, draining vast amounts of lifespan. Later on, Li Hao rarely used Time in battle.

Most of the time, it served only as an auxiliary tool.

In his early days… Li Hao cycled through life and death multiple times.

But Chaos doesn’t tread the path of life and death.

Even if he could, he never truly embraced the resolve of life and death. So whether he can reverse life and death is beside the point—could he even muster enough energy to endure another cycle?

After all, he is a Ninth-Stage Sovereign!

The Tianfang Lord’s gaze shifted to Li Hao, a flicker of change in his eyes. This guy must be aware of Time’s drawbacks, yet Li Hao had never mentioned any of it. At this moment, with Chaos surrounded and fighting his way out…

In the vast cosmos, the rise and fall of an entire galaxy is nothing more than a fleeting display of mottled starlight. As you gaze upon the heavens, there lingers a preordained melancholy. In centuries to come, where will we be? Nations, the glow of civilization, Earth—all are but a speck of dust in the infinite void. A moment in the stars, a millennium among mortals. The chirp of insects lasts but an autumn—yet we all battle against destiny. What truly lies at the end of this endless expanse?
