Earth Yang was overjoyed when he finally managed to dart into his dao universe. His chance of escaping was at hand!

Li Hao smiled as well.

Transport was very quick through a dao universe. Wherever its dao strength touched was a possible destination. Travel speed was frightfully quick. This was the most convenient way to travel throughout the entire chaos, and it was very safe.

Those such as the Dragon master that could smack someone out of the dao universe were few and far in between. Li Hao naturally wasn’t one of them.

However, he did have one more skill, and that was to summon chaos tribulations. The power of time materialized, Earth Yang felt time reverse around him. His eyes widened as a chaos tribulation appeared over his head.

Li Hao didn’t dawdle. He permitted the thunderbolts to land instead of further manipulating them as he wasn’t out to kill Earth Yang. He couldn’t kill the man, even if he wished to. The same chaos tribulation would fall and strike him.

Even if he could disperse some, a tribulation that could kill Earth Yang would surely kill him too.

A river of time appeared in front of Li Hao. He set foot into it. The dao chess and Number Two appeared in front of him as well.

“Become part of the river of time...” Li Hao said calmly to the dao chess.

The dao chess blinked and subconsciously followed orders, despite not understanding the reason for them. It was only a moment before the previously illusory river seemed to... solidify and become equipped with the ability to transport through space. This was because the dao chess possessed that capability.

Three powerhouses followed Li Hao’s guidance and seemed to immediately arrive in front of Gemini. There was one seventh rank inside the world gates and one outside. Both of them trembled from fear.

They were immensely conflicted and struggled for what to do! Everything was going wrong! How should they react?

A startling sight developed before they could come to an agreement. A long river seemed to pierce through the void, depositing three people—no, one human, one cat, and one treasure in front of them.

It took only the blink of an eye for this to be complete. When the power of time operated in coordination with space, the result was power beyond the imagination. They were able to travel from the seventh to the eighth layer in the blink of an eye.

A seventh rank was in sight!

A sword was unsheathed! Devouring force swept out. Suppression energy came down!

The three powerhouses spontaneously grew accustomed to working together. A sword flashed out and a thousand worlds manifested. In the distance, the Human King’s outraged yell shook the void.

“Screw you, you little asshole!”

That damned brat was really too devious! Drifting Life was half dead after one of the Human King’s blows, but Earth Yang was suddenly pulled back to the battlefield. That caused Fog Mountain and Void to disengage from fighting Drifting Life and run off to Earth Yang instead!

With that opening, Drifting Life quickly stabilized himself and avoided the second blow. The Human King nearly threw out his back from the change

And that wasn’t the worst of all!

The worst was that the second blow hadn’t been able to kill his opponent with the second blow, but the Dragon master was able to send the Reincarnation master reeling with another punch.

The dragon then turned to attack the other eighth rank preoccupied by Red Moon. With the Dragon master’s strength, he might kill that eighth rank ahead of time...

This was infuriating!

You little jerk, are you not willing to let me have the spotlight since you can’t have it?? What use is there in you going off to kill a seventh rank? Even if you kill all of the remaining seventh ranks, that still doesn’t make them eighth ranks!

Do you get it??

Don’t you know that you should respect your elders?! Is it so hard to fulfill an elder’s wish? What are you running off for??

It’s just Gemini! If you want it, I’ll give it to you after I hack this guy apart! Does it really require your personal attention?

You’ll be the death of me!!

......

The Gemini dao universe.

Li Hao heartily ignored the Human King’s indignation and broke through the firmament with his sword. Tribulation clouds gathered and the sword of calamity descended like a tribulation itself. That made an opening for thunderbolts to pour into the world.

RUMBLE!

Explosions crackled. The seventh rank outside the world gate didn’t even have time to grunt before he was cut into two. He wasn’t fully dead from the opening salvo, but that was quickly remedied by Number Two and the dao chess. The two worked together in great tandem.

Another rumble tore through the air, marking the demise of the seventh rank. The remaining seventh rank shot back through the world gate as quickly as he had come to investigate. Shock marked his face!

How had the enemy suddenly appeared on their doorstep?? They’d come so quickly! The world master was not yet back, but these three were!

Each of the enemy brimmed with killing intent, completely intimidating the seventh rank from staying behind. He only wished that he could run faster!

Seventh rank was normally an invincible existence, but they died in droves today. Earth Yang’s world originally possessed eight seventh ranks. Only one was left now.

The Dragon master had killed two of them before this, four died today. Another had just been struck down in front of him. Earth Yang seethed in the distance and also panicked immensely. How had he suddenly ended up where he’d started??

This was... the power of time!

Yes, that had to be it!

Silver Moon King Li Hao wielded the power of time!

Li Hao’s presence at his home also indicated great trouble. If Earth Yang returned too slowly, he might be setting foot in a death trap.

A grisly wail sounded through the void. The last seventh rank of Gemini major world had been surrounded by Li Hao’s trio. Countless mid and low rank exalted emperors flooded out to help their brethren, but Li Hao cut them down with each stab of his sword!

The sword of calamity struck continuously. After multiple blows, the last remaining seventh rank was dispatched outside the world gates. Most of the mid and low ranks decided to flee. What else could they do??

Li Hao vanished in the next moment.

When he reappeared, he was in another pocket of space. There was an object like a heart that beat there. This was the origin of the world, the source of its life.

The young man stabbed his sword into the beating heart. The world origin sensed the danger, but there was nothing it could do to protect itself!

The world stilled in that moment. It had died.

While a world might continue to remain after its world origin broke, the world itself was dead and would nurture no more life. The dao universe connected to it would be affected as well.

The Gemini dao universe started shaking violently. Earth Yang felt it all as he fought Fog Mountain!

He’d known what these people were plotting and how Li Hao planned to force him into severing his connection with the dao universe. That would ensure that the world’s death wouldn’t affect him too much.

Strictly speaking, this would turn Earth Yang into a wandering cultivator like Red Moon. But if he did so on this battlefield, then today would mark his doom.

And yet, if he didn’t want to become a wandering cultivator, he also didn’t have sufficient energy to suppress the unrest in the dao universe after losing six seventh ranks in quick succession, as well as the world origin.

He would die all the same then.

You bastard!

The river of time was still undulating and Li Hao’s trio... seemed to be returning to the battle zone. Clearly, they were forcing his hand. Would he sever his connection to his dao universe and become a wandering cultivator? Or would he refuse and be dragged to his doom as the dao universe raged out of control?

The end would be the same, regardless.

Earth Yang’s expression shifted immensely!

Meanwhile, the Human King set his jaw and raised his blade, bringing it down on the heavily injured Drifting Life. “How are you still not dead?? Self detonate already!”

Stop hanging on for dear life! Just blow yourself up! You’re so heavily injured that you’re not coming back from this AND you’ll embarrass the hell out of me if Earth Yang dies first!

Die, now!

Clearly, the Human King felt that a win was a win, even if it was the result of his opponent self detonating.

Li Hao picked up speed, accelerating for all his worth!

I need to kill Earth Yang before the Human King succeeds... I’ll lose face if I don’t!

......

All sides were fighting for supremacy. The Dragon master could sense it too. He delivered punch after punch, making Red Moon’s opponent vomit blood. At the same time, he prevented Red Moon’s opponent from going anywhere, so the man couldn’t even fly backward to get out of range.

The Reincarnation master shot over once more, stopping the enemy from killing one of his powerhouses. “Send six seventh ranks!” he bellowed.

He’d been defeated by the Dragon master!

His dao universe rippled as six more seventh ranks set forth from Reincarnation. There was no time to spare for Drifting Life at the moment. The slightest hint of carelessness would mean that they would lose everything today!

......

At the same time, Arctic Frost major world.

“Hot damn, I was too timid. I definitely miscalculated this time!” sighed the supreme from the shadows.

“......” Light stared speechlessly at him.

Indeed, instead of loitering near Reincarnation, they were near Arctic Frost. Based on what the supreme said, Reincarnation was too prominent as a target. Even if a fight broke out, the world master would be too cautious to open his world gates.

But if the second most powerful of the eastern region possessed a bit more ambition, then its three eighth ranks might march into battle with its seventh ranks. That would be New Martial’s chance to conquer Arctic Frost then!

Supreme Zhang, Light, and the Ash Emperor, as well as large sums of seventh ranks were lying in wait here. They waited for the three eighth ranks to leave so that they had a clear shot at Arctic Frost.

But...

The supreme was not considering where he’d gone wrong. How had he miscalculated?

The strongest world of the region is under attack. Whether you go to help them or scavenge for pickings, shouldn’t you be out there? Why are you just watching from here? Why aren’t you sending a single eighth rank to them?

Are you guys idiots?!

He wanted to start yelling at them from the void. Anyone with the slightest hint of brains to them wouldn’t be sitting on the sidelines, watching the show!

The supreme dearly wished for the eighth ranks to grow some brains. He could devise the most foolproof schemes, but they were useless if the enemy lacked wits!
