Chapter 369: Formless Breaks the Void Self
“You will never reach a future where you can kill me, but I can easily end you!”
Li Xiang’s body trembled slightly, and black material detached, transforming into dozens of long spears aimed menacingly at Zhou Tong.
“You don’t need to dodge, because you can’t escape; your future has already been chosen by me!”
As soon as the words fell, those long spears shot out, radiating an incredibly sharp killing intent.
“Eighty-One Seals, Void Breaking Barrier!”
Zhou Tong unfolded his barrier, but just as it appeared, he heard Li Xiang’s voice again.
“I saw in the future that those barriers will shatter one by one!”
As the words fell, there was a cracking sound, and the Void Breaking Barrier was penetrated. The pitch-black spears were within arm’s reach of Zhou Tong, about to strike his body.
“Roar!!”
At that moment, Xiao Bai suddenly jumped out, her fists moving like the wind, breaking each of those spears!
The Formless Realm faced the Void Self Realm; it was a confrontation of equal levels, resisting each other’s attacks.
“Heh… indeed a bit tricky, but that’s what makes it interesting. If it ended in an instant, it would be too boring.”
Li Xiang stepped forward and instantly vanished from Zhou Tong’s sight.
Zhou Tong’s pupils trembled slightly; he was sure this was definitely not a result of speed.
Just a moment ago, his spiritual power had firmly locked onto the opponent, but in the next instant, Li Xiang had escaped his lock as if he had slipped into another space-time.
“I’m right here!”
The voice rang behind him, accompanied by a sharp aura that struck heavily at Zhou Tong’s back.
With a loud bang, Zhou Tong was sent flying, tumbling for dozens of feet before finally halting.
“Great defense, huh? You weren’t hurt at all, but next time you won’t be so lucky!”
Li Xiang spoke with a playful tone, clearly enjoying the feeling of teasing his prey.
“Just now, there was a ripple in time…”
Zhou Tong said faintly, causing his expression to change.
“So what?”
“In the moment you vanished, the entire world couldn’t trace your aura; you must have truly disappeared.”
“And the Void Self Realm can interfere with the past. I guess you must have slipped into the past through the river of time, thus circling around to my back!”
As soon as he said this, the smile on Li Xiang’s face vanished completely.
“You truly are a nuisance, but you still can’t escape death!”
“Heh heh… that sounds very scary, but why didn’t you kill me in the past just now?”
Zhou Tong sneered, “Because you can’t launch an attack while in the river of time; you can only act when you resurface and return to the present!”
“So what?”
Before he could finish his words, heavy power ripples erupted from Zhou Tong’s body. The small world within him trembled and roared, frantically expelling light, gathering into a handprint.
“Omniverse Illusion Seal, Double Seal Overlay!”
It was enough to thwart a sage’s attack, but only received Li Xiang’s disdain.
“I already told you, this kind of trick is useless against me. How many times do you have to try before you learn to give up?”
In the next moment, he vanished again, diving back into the river of time.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Tong relaxed, even beginning to close his eyes to rest, showing no signs of tension.
“Oh, have you already given up? That’s fine, less resistance means less pain for you!”
Li Xiang arrived behind him again, and without hesitation, reached for his heart. However, unexpectedly, he pressed against the light seal—the previously used Omniverse Illusion Seal!
“This is Reflections on Water and Flowers; do you understand?”
Zhou Tong turned to look at him. “It seems you cannot grasp the future at all times; is it because your spiritual power is insufficient?”
“You!!”
Just as Li Xiang wanted to respond, the Omniverse Illusion Seal exploded, and terrifying power devoured one of his arms, knocking him back while he spat blood.
“Damn it, how dare you hurt the omniscient and omnipotent me!”
He roared, with his severed arm growing back, intent on trying the same trick again to slip into the past.
“Don’t you know that repeating such tricks in front of me will completely fail?”
Zhou Tong’s expression remained cold, and behind him, Xiao Bai’s figure resurfaced.
“You’re not the only one who can control time!”
“Roar!”
Xiao Bai extended a finger, easily freezing time, interrupting Li Xiang’s spell cast.
One second passed, two seconds passed…
Zhou Tong stepped closer, and when he was at a sufficiently close distance, Xiao Bai suddenly rushed out, unleashing a torrential barrage of attacks.
“Roar roar roar… roar roar roar!”
In just a few seconds, he unleashed thousands of punches, and as it seemed to be reaching its end, he reached for Li Xiang’s face and directly plucked out one of his eyeballs.
“Time resumes!”
“Ahhhhhh…”
Li Xiang suddenly let out a piercing scream, his entire being exploded, splattering blood across the walls and floor.
But Zhou Tong knew this was far from over. The opponent had absorbed the power of the Holy King and could not die so easily.
Sure enough, those black substances, resembling blood, instantly began to writhe and ultimately coalesced again, reforming Li Xiang’s figure.
“Give me back my eye.”
Li Xiang extended his hand toward Zhou Tong, speaking imperiously.
“Return it to you? That seems inappropriate.”
Zhou Tong smiled and said, “Why don’t you use your Eye of the Lost Self to grasp the future? Can’t you do that?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the opponent fell silent.
“Hahaha… even if you can grasp the future and turn low-probability events into reality, it won’t allow things that were never meant to happen to become real, like how you will never possess that eye again!”
With a loud bang, Xiao Bai crushed the eye and then used the Breath of Annihilation to burn it to ashes.
“Ahhhh!!!”
Suddenly, Li Xiang became completely insane.
“He has fallen into chaos, unable to maintain his self. It seems that the eye represents his true self.”
Zhou Tong murmured, staring at him: “In the end, it’s not his own power, and it’s only natural for it to be easily taken away!”
“Shut up!!”
Li Xiang’s voice became hoarse and low, but his aura grew even more violent.
With a swift movement, a wave of black ripples appeared out of nowhere, crossing the space to envelop Zhou Tong from all directions.
“Art of Arms!”
The Three-pronged Double-edged Saber appeared in Zhou Tong’s hand, radiating astonishing power!
“Slash!!”
With a gentle sweep, Zhou Tong dispelled the opponent’s attack, then activated the Movement Art, resembling a flash of lightning, he reached Li Xiang’s front.
“Just borrowing it for a moment!”
The Three-pronged Double-edged Saber cut through the void with unstoppable force!
However, Li Xiang did not evade; he simply reached out a hand, attempting to block the blade’s edge.
“I saw in the future that your weapon will break!”
As soon as the words fell, a crack formed on the blade of the Three-pronged Double-edged Saber and quickly spread!
“Crack…”
