Chapter 1693: Soybean

The tree god had sacrificed itself and ignited boundless resentment to create the withered wood. Hellfire blazed in full on the scorched remains, bestowing Lu Yun with the strength of the Abyssal Hell. However, his weak body couldn’t contain such momentous power. He wouldn’t be able to maintain this state for long, but just a few breaths was enough for his goals.

His body was wrapped by black flames. The withered wood, his nascent spirit, and the Tome of Life and Death resonated with each other, unleashing hellfire’s complete might. A projection of the Abyssal Hell appeared as well, hovering behind Lu Yun.

“Die!!” The Time Guard didn’t hesitate when he saw this situation develop. He materialized a generic broadsword and hacked at Lu Yun with a simple stroke. The purest simplicity of dao!

The blow encompassed the strength of space. The blade itself was still off in the distance, but its attack had already arrived. Space was nonexistent before this move.

Lu Yun jerked with shock, thinking back to the Dao Tree that’d once leeched off of the immortal dao. A certain black, long-haired monster had been born from it. They wielded sharp axes and attacked with the same move that spoke of the basic fundamentals of dao.

He’d derived the combat arts of space reincarnation and time reincarnation from them, and here was another employing the power of space! Where the Time Guard differed was that his attack far outstripped the long-haired monsters’, both in terms of cultivation level and achievement of skill.

Lu Yun subconsciously tightened his hand into a fist and hit back with a punch. A combat art of the six paths of hell dao—Abyssal Punch!

It felt like he was swinging back with the Abyssal Hell itself. A variety of hellish phenomena flashed through the void, crashing into the terrible blade light as if ten thousand ghoulish demons themselves.

Rumble—

The void trembled. Hellfire rampaged through space and the Abyssal Hell shivered, once. Having been vaporized, the guard left behind a ghostly mask hovering in the air.

“It’s over?” Haidong Lin paused and stared blankly at the scene; he’d already retreated a hundred million kilometers away. He hadn’t thought that Lu Yun would defeat the Time Guard so easily!

Lu Yun’s expression snapped with alarm and he quickly backed away.

KABOOM!

The area where he’d just been standing in collapsed and the Time Guard walked out of the void. He vanished the instant he appeared; when he stepped into public eye once more, he was reaching for Lu Yun’s head.

The young man was prepared. He called upon the Tome of Life and Death and deployed Spatial Reincarnation, vanishing into the void as well. The two continuously flashed into being, disappeared, flashed into being, and disappeared through this part of the void.

Neither of them could get the upper hand.

The space around them collapsed and fractured without pause. Haidong Lin kept running away until he made it into a major world.

“Curse King!” He saw the Curse King as soon as he set foot into the world. The latter flicked a glance at him and ignored the man, keeping his attention focused on Lu Yun and the Time Guard.

“What kind of monster is Lu Yun that he can dominate the Spacetime King’s man like this??” he murmured to himself.

The Spacetime King.

Haidong Lin didn’t know who that was, but some things clicked into place when he heard the Curse King’s tones and his words.

“You’re not a creature of the dark, you’re from the same place as the Time Guards!” he cried out impulsively.

The Curse King flicked another glance at him. “So what? Bite me.”

“Nope.” Haidong Lin retracted his shocked expression and snorted, “You’ve eaten Jian Bu’er’s spit, you’re disgusting.”

“I’ll kill you!” the Curse King shrieked and clawed at Haidong Lin’s face. The man jumped with surprise and ran off in abject fear.

Rumble!

The major world shuddered, like something had rammed it. The jagged darkness above it shattered from the impact and tongues of hellfire burrowed out from it, burning the endarkened alive. Lu Yun and the Time Guard appeared in the sky over the world.

The guard inclined his head at the Curse King when he noticed the latter, but the Curse King ignored him. Reaching out with his hand, the Time Guard grabbed his mask and repositioned it on his face. Two beams of black light shot out from Lu Yun’s eyes—the Spectral Eye captured the guard’s true appearance in that split second of change.

“So he’s actually female,” Lu Yun murmured. “That’s a helluva mask. Not only does it conceal your true features, but it also changes the presence of your soul.”

“Female?” the Curse King blinked. “When did that Time Guard turn into a female?”

Lu Yun ignored him. Although he could kill the Curse King with one palm strike at this moment, he didn’t do so. Likewise, the Curse King didn’t seem concerned that Lu Yun would suddenly switch focus and kill him.

“Lu Yun, I know your name is Lu Yun,” the Time Guard suddenly said. She didn’t mind that Lu Yun had seen her true appearance. “You’re just a Nihil World Sovereign, so how long do you think you can maintain this condition? Your body will fall apart even without my doing, so there’s nothing you can do to me.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Lu Yun grinned. “One of my greatest hobbies is to carry soybeans wherever I go.”

“Soybeans?!” Haidong Lin and the Curse King shuddered in unison. Plainly, they’d suffered some trauma from the notion of soybeans. As they expected, a soybean appeared in Lu Yun’s hand and a streak of golden light flashed through the air when he flicked it outward.

A golden-armored warrior with the same strength as Lu Yun appeared behind the guard. A second, third, fourth… thirty-six warriors with the same strength materialized and petrified the world with their domineering aura.

Whether it was Haidong Lin or the Curse King, both were flies caught in amber. The Time Guard trembled at the sight of her new opponents and a hint of incredulity appeared in her emotions.

Lu Yun waved a hand and opened the door to the Disordered Hell, making a welcoming gesture. “Will you walk in yourself or be thrown in after I beat you up? A delicate little thing like you shouldn’t be smashed into the ground before the Curse King and Haidong Lin, wouldn’t you say so?”

The guard seemed to glare at Lu Yun before stomping her foot, then walked into the Disordered Hell.

“Hehehe, here comes someone new after the Dao King and Mo Yi left!” The disordered spirit bounced into the air when it saw the Time Guard enter.

The guard sent it flying with a single kick.

Lu Yun dismissed the Abyssal Hell’s power with a wave of his hand and fell to the ground like all energy had been drained from him.

“Heh, Lu Yun, you refused the road to heaven and hacked a path to hell. You die here today!” crowed the Curse King as he barrelled toward the young man.

Who wants to bet the Curse King is developing an internal demon from the word "spit"?
