Chapter 1971: From The Future (1/2)

“Old friend, if you were at your peak state, then you could persevere and I won’t be able to do anything to you. Unfortunately, that’s not the case right now.” Samsara said as the darkness was gaining grounds.

“As long as one light strand is left, the darkness will never take over the epoch completely.” Saint remained calm despite losing and continued to protect his dao heart. He needed the light to stimulate the origin of this heart and bring it back to the light. That’s the only way for him to oppose the seed of darkness planted by Samsara.

At this moment, amazing techniques, dao comprehension, and further fighting were useless. This was a cycle between light and dark; victory relied solely on protecting one’s dao heart and true nature. Losing would turn one into a dark overlord, all would be too late then.

“So what?” Samsara shook his head: “Maybe I can’t destroy you completely and all the light strands completely, but don’t forget, I’ve sealed all the lights in this epoch underground already. Alas, this is all meaningless. Our epoch is no longer around. After this defeat, you won’t be able to ever turn the tide. This might be our final meeting, old friend.”

The terrifying embodiment of darkness, Samsara, was actually cordial right now to his mortal enemy.

“Buzz.” Though Saint continued to protect the light, the situation was quite grim. His demise was certainly inevitable if this continued.

The emperors were shaking as well. Even someone like Saint couldn’t handle this, what about them. Under this reversal to the origin caused by the samsaric gaze, how many of them could remain strong? The only end for them was either suicide or succ.u.mbing to the darkness.

Saint had fought against Samsara for an epoch. If he couldn’t win, no one else could.

“Gentlemen, lend me your power so I can understand time enough to get there.” Li Qiye told the seventeen emperors.

“Very well!” The emperors roared as their wills became resplendent and full of power.

“Rumble!” The world was torn asunder; all thirteen continents were trembling. This power from their wills was enough to turn all of Pure into ashes in a split second.

With loud explosions, Li Qiye’s position in time and s.p.a.ce became unstable via melting. He was in the past, the present, and in the future at the same time.

“Boom!” Finally, another Li Qiye came out but the same one was still standing there with the seventeen emperors behind him.

However, this second Li Qiye was not an illusion or an avatar. It was his real body.

This second Li Qiye was different. How? That’s too difficult to describe but he seemed to be even more powerful and monstrous despite lacking a boost in aura and divinity.

Nevertheless, intuition told the watching emperors that this monstrous being didn’t belong to the present.

“Buzz.” He stepped into the river of time and immediately headed for the ancient epoch.

This was a very difficult matter. Even the twelve-will emperors might not be able to do so. Li Qiye with the help of the seventeen emperors and his grand formation prepared earlier allowed him to travel far to the past.

He finally reached the position of Saint and Samsara’s epoch on the river of time.

On one side was Saint and the other Samsara. The gap between them was a temporal one, not spatial.

Li Qiye didn’t belong to this place, seemingly peeled out of the spatial fabric like a guest, not part of the epoch.

“Fellow Daoist, you should know that divining into the future is not a good thing.” Samsara wasn’t surprised to see this and flatly stated.

“That’s true.” Li Qiye nodded.
