Chapter 977: Intense Battle
The battle between the duo created a huge commotion. Huge numbers of saints and saint lords were killed by the shockwaves from the battle.
“Split!” Making use of an opportunity, Li Fuchen slashed the Time Sand Heaven Lord and split him into two.
However, the wound didn’t burst out with blood, it was sand.
The sprayed sand was shot at Li Fuchen’s eyes.
Li Fuchen might not be worried about getting injured, but it didn’t mean that he should get hit. With a glare from his eyes, two sword lights flew out from his eyes and turned the sand into void.
“Billion Incarnation!”
Countless Time Sand Heaven Lords attacked Li Fuchen from all directions.
This move was unavoidable and impossible to hide from.
The countless Time Sand Heaven Lords came from different time layers, therefore, even with a broad-ranged attack, it wasn’t possible to attack all the Time Sand Heaven Lords. It was useless even if there was an incredible defense cardinal artifact, as there would definitely be a certain time layer where the defense cardinal artifact wouldn’t be effective.
“Interesting, but unfortunately, it is ineffective against me.” Li Fuchen grinned.
The Time Sand Heaven Lord had also realized that this move was ineffective against Li Fuchen. When a billion of the Time Sand Heaven Lord’s incarnations touched Li Fuchen, they were all fused back into one.
It was much easier to deal with just a single Time Sand Heaven Lord. Li Fuchen sent the Time Sand Heaven Lord flying with a single sword.
“How is it possible? He is immune to time.” The Time Sand Heaven Lord had an awful expression.
In this move, he was attaching Li Fuchen from three time layers, past, present, and future. Each time layer was then further split into countless sub-layers.
After becoming a heaven lord, one already controlled a portion of the primal state, but was ultimately unable to have full control. As long as one didn’t have full control of the primal state, it wasn’t possible to be immune against time.
However, Li Fuchen happened to be immune.
How could the Time Sand Heaven Lord know that Li Fuchen possessed the Calamity Immortal Body? Unless it was an elite star domain-level heaven lord or someone superior to star domain-level heaven lords, no attacks would be effective against him.
“Origin Return Sword Phase!” To return the favor, Li Fuchen used his sword move too.
Pfff!
Multiple sword phases pierced through the Time Sand Heaven Lord’s body and one of them produced a small burst of blood.
Li Fuchen knew that the Time Sand Heaven Lord was injured. However, such injuries were similar to a small break of skin.
The duo fought for half a day and were still unable to deal with each other.
The two of them had just become star domain-level heaven lords recently and didn’t have a huge disparity in strength. It was truly difficult to decide who was stronger.
“I do not have any grudges with you. It is fine if you simply rescued your friend, but why are you finding trouble with me?” The Time Sand Heaven Lord stopped attacking and used sharp eyes to stare at Li Fuchen.
Li Fuchen replied, “I think that most of the people here don’t have any grudges with you too right? Isn’t it immoral for you to torment them like this?”
“Immoral? It seems like you are a person who likes to stand up for justice. Do you know that people like you would normally die early?” The Time Sand Heaven Lord frowned.
Heaven lords were normally cold and indifferent, they wouldn’t offend another heaven lord for some small matter. Even if one’s strength was extremely powerful, one wouldn’t have time to meddle with such trivial affairs. After all, there were too many things happening in the universe. If every matter had to be attended to, there was no time for cultivation. Furthermore, it was very easy to offend someone who would be far superior.
“I believe that my life is rather stubborn, therefore, you don’t need to worry.” Li Fuchen let out a faint smile.
As long as Li Fuchen was competent enough, he wouldn’t mind doing some good. Otherwise, there was no meaning to grow stronger. In Li Fuchen’s opinion, those selfish and indifferent individuals had already lost their humanity and lost a lot of happiness.
“Do you think I can’t deal with you?”
It was unknown when the duo had arrived above the Time Sand City. The Time Sand Heaven Lord raised both his hands. The seven layers of arrays that surrounded the Time Sand City started to move like seven giant gears. (TL note: Previous chapter’s Ancient Stone City is actually referring to Time Sand City)
“Three mid-grade supreme rate arrays, and four low-grade supreme rate arrays.” Li Fuchen’s heart felt a chill and he identified the grades of the seven arrays.
Generally speaking, a mid-grade supreme rate array wasn’t enough to block a star domain-level heaven lord, but three mid-grade supreme rate arrays were enough. With the compliments from four low-grade supreme rate arrays, any star domain-level heaven lord would have a hard time.
Furthermore, Li Fuchen could see that three of the seven arrays were seal arrays. In normal situations, a seal array’s objective was to seal up someone who couldn’t be killed.
“If you make an oath to serve me for 1 million years, I can spare you life.”
The Time Sand Heaven Lord was very confident with the Time Sand City’s arrays. The Time Prison was merely for him to research on time dao, the Time Sand City was his real trump.
“1 million years huh?” Li Fuchen raised his brows.
The Time Sand Heaven Lord said, “1 million years isn’t considered long. You and I are both star domain-level heaven lords and as long as we don’t die of accidents, our lifespan is endless. A mere 1 million years will pass by quickly.”
An individual with extremely tough defense was very useful to the Time Sand Heaven Lord. Whenever he met with any elite star domain-level heaven lord, he could only escape. But with Li Fuchen, he could contest with them.
“It is true that 1 million years isn’t too long, but that is if you can seal me. If you cannot seal me, why do I even have to serve you for 1 million years?” As Li Fuchen spoke, the calamity power spread out.
Bang Boom!
Anything that made contact with the calamity power was turned into dust.
“Alright, I will let you witness my power.” With a wave of the hand, a boundless seal power surged towards Li Fuchen.
After close to five days, Li Fuchen’s calamity power was severely exhausted.
His Hand of Calamity was only at the initial state which was corresponding with city lord-level heaven lord. Therefore, even if the Hand of Calamity was mystical and domineering enough to neutralize everything, it was still insufficient because of the gap.
If Li Fuchen’s Hand of Calamity was in the middle state, he would be able to break this seal array with no time.
“Everyone has a limit, do you really think you can contest with the arrays?” The Time Sand Heaven Lord sneered.
“I shall put up a contest for you to see.”
The seal arrays were indeed not easy to deal with. Even if Li Fuchen’s spirit soul power could see through them, it was impossible to break them within a short period of time. But with close to five days of observation, Li Fuchen had 90% confidence.
Clang!
Drawing out the Joint-Heaven Sword, Li Fuchen slashed at the void with Origin Return Sword Phase.
That place was the seven array’s fusion point and it was fleeting. With each fusion, the next fusion would happen seven times longer than the previous time. The first time was 2 hours, the second time was 14 hours, while the third time was 98 hours later. If he didn’t see through the arrays, the chances of breaking the arrays would be slimmer. If he wasn’t careful enough, he might really be sealed for life.
Crackle!
In between the gears, there seemed to be a piece of metal. The seven arrays stopped for a moment and that moment was enough for Li Fuchen to fly out of the arrays.
“I thank you for the guidance.”
Li Fuchen admitted that he underestimated the Time Sand Heaven Lord. Be it his strength or foundation, he was superior to the Divine Leaf City Lord. Back then the Divine Leaf City Lord was only able to resist the Blood Ax Imperial Lord for a short period of time.
“Hmph, next time you will not have a chance.” The Time Sand Heaven Lord didn’t know what went wrong, but he was going to remember this grudge.
