Chapter 208: Fate Woven in Time and Space

In the vast cosmos, the rise and fall of a galaxy is merely a fleeting mosaic of light. Gazing at the stars, one cannot shake the melancholy that destiny is sealed—centuries later, where will we be? Nations, civilization’s sparks, Earth—they are but specks of dust adrift in the deep void. A moment in the starry sky, a millennium on Earth. Like the fleeting chirp of an insect in autumn, we are all desperately struggling against the current. What awaits at the end of the cosmic abyss? In Li Hao’s eyes, the clash of Dao is natural; life and death, victory or defeat, are simply a matter of one’s might.

He turned his head to look at Chaos.

At that moment, Chaos had obliterated several Ninth-tier clones and even slain many Eighth-tier powerhouses. With every battle, his strength surged, clearly seizing the upper hand—proving just how formidable this Ninth-tier original was, especially with the power of Time Force at his side.

Yet Li Hao sighed inwardly.

Oh, Time!

Oh, Time!

Sometimes, it can be unbearably cruel.

Just as when he first encountered Time, an addictive sensation that ensnared him completely. He had triumphed over countless foes by harnessing Time, yet the price was four cycles of life and death.

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

“Chaos, you’re not young anymore!”

A million years ago, these beings were already at the Ninth-tier.

Youth is long gone!

Time relentlessly pushes forward, unstoppable and mighty. Though it has decimated countless Ninth-tier clones, can your lifespan really be limitless?

He had nearly driven Time’s force to the Eighth-tier level.

Each surge drained an enormous amount of life force.

In truth, Chaos hardly felt a thing. Only those who had danced with Time could understand the illusion of immortality amid its endless currents.

Earlier, Li Hao had merely invoked Time a few times—each use sapping his life force to its limit.

And with each depletion, he edged closer to the end of his existence.

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

Without such relentless battles, how long could you really endure?

How long can your Ninth-tier power sustain you?

Two million years?

Three million years?

Or even longer?

Time has locked the heavens and earth, shattering those Ninth-tier clones into panic-stricken pieces. They appeared ferocious indeed, but have you noticed? Your hair has turned white.

How many can truly resist Time’s lure?

Li Hao, in truth, never could.

In the early days, invoking Time repeatedly, borrowing power from the future and wandering the past…

When did he begin to awaken?

Only after dying several times in succession!

When his lifespan was cut short, his memories eroded, his emotions faded, and when he had almost reached a state of desirelessness…

Only then did he realize that Time had seduced him into the abyss.

Even a man as mighty as an emperor dares not take on Time, for he knows there’s little chance of withstanding its temptation.

He only has one option—refuse it altogether!

I know I cannot resist, so I choose not to.

Li Hao initially lacked the strength. Later, when he came to his senses, he still refused—thus paving the way for today’s Chaos to command Time. Perhaps this is the most glorious moment of his life!

Over twenty Ninth-tier clones and scores of Eighth-tier emperors were present. At this moment, apart from a few slain by Dragon War, he had already eradicated seven or eight of them!

This peak even surpassed the moment he first transcended into the Ninth-tier.

“Ha ha ha!”

A roar of laughter accompanied a massive boom as Chaos smote another Ninth-tier emperor clone, panting and laughing heartily. At this moment, he had truly reached his pinnacle.

Invincible!

Despite being surrounded by so many, the formidable warriors who once flaunted their might before him—though merely clones—represented their true selves.

Now, one by one, they fell under his blade!

So many besieging him could have even taken down a true Ninth-tier, yet now their numbers dwindled, almost entirely butchered!

Time is overwhelming!

He doesn’t need to employ many tricks—two methods suffice.

First, Freeze Time and Space.

Second, Traverse the Long River.

The first method immobilizes enemies, while the second boosts his speed to its limit. Killing and overpowering the strong—it turns out to be so simple.

At that moment, Chaos seemed to understand why Li Hao had never lost a battle!

With such abilities, who could stand against him?

Almost every peer was being dispatched in a single blow!

Huff!

The sound of his breath echoed all around.

Each warrior, drenched in blood, now bore a grim expression.

Although merely a clone, it still possessed a flesh-and-blood body.

Harnessing the power of Time, Chaos continued his relentless onslaught. When he descended, over twenty Ninth-tier clones existed; now, only half remain.

Even the reinforcements from the Eighth-tier were decimated by Chaos.

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

However…

Each Ninth-tier powerhouse seemed to have witnessed something, their eyes shifting in recognition.

Chaos’s once jet-black hair had nearly turned white!

A faint scent of decay began to emanate from him.

A murmur swept over the crowd! Some turned to look at Li Hao, thoughts stirring in their minds.

This is…

Despite Chaos wielding the formidable force of Time, why does it seem as though he is decaying?

One looked toward the Tianfang Lord.

At that moment, the Tianfang Lord seemed to have long anticipated this. He merely glanced at Li Hao without uttering a word.

Time can kill.

Time cultivators traverse the past and future, freeze space, but using one’s own time always brings complications and drains enormous life force. In later battles, Li Hao rarely relied on Time for combat.

Its use was mostly for support.

In the early days… Li Hao endured multiple cycles of life and death.

But Chaos follows no cycle of life and death.

Even if he could, he never truly gathered the resolve for life and death. With Chaos, whether he can reverse life and death is moot—even if he could, does he even possess enough energy to undergo another cycle?

Remember, he is a Ninth-tier emperor!

The Tianfang Lord eyed Li Hao, his expression shifting. This fellow must be aware of Time’s pitfalls, yet Li Hao never mentioned them. At this moment, as Chaos fought his way out of the encirclement…
