C64 (1/2)

”Past and future?” Hong Ling stared at the two figures within the tenth stage of the World Barrier, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

To break through the barrier of Destiny's Gate, one had to first break through the first nine stages of the World Barrier, defeat and engulf the two great clones of the past and the future, so that they could grasp both the past and the future in their own hands.

He clenched his fist and punched fiercely at the ten-layered barrier in front of him. Crack crack crack.

Now that things had progressed to this point, after fusing with his own fated star, Hong Ling's Authentic Qi s, divine sense, dragon's power, and blood energy could no longer be differentiated from each other. This saved him a lot of trouble and saved him the need to mobilize his own energy.

As long as he willed it, Authentic Qi would enter the Reverse Scale s, then enter the Divine Hall, then it would be his consciousness. After entering his body, it would be his blood energy, and this was the use of the Heavenly fated star s.

His divine sense spread out into the air and carefully sensed his past and future body. His past body had his past strength and memories. Boom. A moment ago, when he walked out of the barrier of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, an ancient aura gushed forth from him.

Hong Ling felt that everything he had experienced, under the influence of the aura of the past, seemed to be going through a reversal of time, and was constantly regressing.

”Time Reversal!” Hong Ling focused his gaze as he stared intently at his body, sensing the changes in his aura. As expected, the aura on his body became stronger and stronger as his aura weakened.

Hong Ling knew he could not continue like this. In the past, his strongest point of power was that he could let his power continuously weaken while not being affected in the first place.

With a tap of his foot, his figure shot forward, a fist viciously flying towards his body. However, the boundless aura coming from his fist was rapidly decaying before it could reach his body.

When Hong Ling's fist truly arrived in front of his body, there was no longer any form of energy left on it, and only pure physical strength remained. The past body did not say a single word as he casually raised his fist.

His body already possessed such a tyrannical power, and now that he had merged with the power of Hong Ling's punch, his power instantly rushed towards a peak level that he could not reach. His fist, which contained a monstrous air, ruthlessly collided with the youth's single fist, which no longer had a single thread of Authentic Qi enveloping it.

Bang! The youth was ruthlessly sent flying backwards, and smashed into the thick palace walls of the palace. Hong Ling felt his internal organs continuously shake, completely messing up all of the blood and energy in his body. He struggled to stand up, and looked at the figure in front of him who was identical to him.

At the end of the day, this body of his was merely a clone. Yet, he actually possessed such tyrannical strength that it caused him to cough up blood. This made him feel extremely unhappy.

If he wanted to defeat this previous body, Hong Ling knew that he could not use the Authentic Qi s at all. Otherwise, the strength of his previous body would only become more and more powerful, and the energy that he had lost would be completely sucked into the body of the past, which was a dead end.

If Hong Ling wanted to break through, he would have to use the strength of his fleshly body. Boom, he stomped on the ground fiercely, and the figure flashed out once again, throwing out another punch, this time without using Qi. This was a pure punch without using any Qi, the expression of his body did not change, and he also threw out a punch, releasing an incomparably majestic Qi.

Hong Ling's expression instantly changed. This entire time, he was using the strongest power in his body, and it was not like what he had imagined. He was using the same power as himself, but it was as if he had stopped at a certain point in time.

”Dammit, how could this guy be so strong!?” Hong Ling was about to go crazy, the power he had displayed in his previous life was far from what he could handle, but he had no way out.

Bang, the two fists fiercely clashed again. Without question, Hong Ling's original body was sent flying once again, and suffered a heavy injury. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with a cold light.

The Authentic Qi quickly rushed into the Divine Hall and turned into pure consciousness. With a thought, a Primordial Spirit quickly formed inside the Divine Hall. This was not the Primordial Spirit Clone from before, but rather the real body of the Primordial Spirit.

After fusing with the fated star, the main Primordial Spirit that was previously sealed within Hong Ling's body had already perfectly fused with his flesh, and could no longer be considered as a clone. This was also the reason why the Primordial Spirit he condensed now could no longer be considered as a clone, but the true body of the Primordial Spirit, which could carry all of his consciousness.

He was able to clearly see the trajectory of the flow of the energy in his body in the past. In the past, his body was still in the space and time of the past, after all, he was unable to truly synchronize his consciousness with Hong Ling's.

Hong Ling quickly caught onto the trajectory of the flow of the Qi in his body, casually throwing a punch at his weak point.

Bang, his body was finally pushed back by Hong Ling's punch. Although the youth had also received a punch, his face was filled with unconcealable joy, as long as he could rely on the Primordial Spirit Clone to find the flaw of the clone, then the previous body would not pose any threat to him.

His body was still extremely calm in the past, and there were no changes in his expression at all. He was just like a calm machine, constantly battling with Hong Ling, but following that, with the help of the Primordial Spirit s in the Divine Palace, the youth's attacks became even sharper.

All of these pieces turned into streaks of flowing light that entered into his four limbs. Like numerous symbols, they were imprinted on his meridians and acupoints, imprinted on every drop of blood, every bone, every muscle.

Hong Ling could feel his strength suddenly increase by a large amount, and was incomparable to the realm of Qi Refinement into Spirit. However, he knew that this was still not enough.
