Yu Chen experienced countless repetition. He also experienced countless death...
This time around, he swore to himself not to die he also swore not to be defeated by the time mist.
In fact, today is the day that he succeeds.
The river of time was real, but most people believed it to be a mirage. The horror desert just happened to harbor one of the parts of the river of time which is, the time mists.
Now that Yu Chen had almost absorbed the mist, some parts of the desert was becoming stable...
Some creatures that was unable to cross that area was starting to explore. All of the distortion caused by time was eased at some parts of the desert...
Yu Chen's eyes flashed with determination.
...
Yu Chen waited for a moment...
The last moment he was going to wait here. Today is the day that he finally absorbs the time mist.
Yu Chen immediately unleashed the voidless zone...
The Voidless zone seem to have transformed too... There was another canvas created through space which separated the endless sea of blades from the infinite time mist.
Around the time mist canvas, space started to expand rapidly...
At this moment, the time mist started to boil within the Voidless zone, it transformed into many shapes finally stopping at the river of time... However Yu Chen paid it no heed.
It seem to be ready to attack back the moment Yu Chen uses the power of time.
Inside the boundary, Yu Chen looked at the broken hollow and smiled brightly.
"You," he pointed at the skyless hollow. "I'll take you with me!"
The mists seem to take offense and descended. This time, it's descent was strange...
The earth shook and trembled rhetorically.
The physical power of time...
Time had converged the strength that had been unleashed all of these years within the range of the desert of horror into one full powered attack.
Yu Chen's expression suddenly changed drastically...
The moon fairy's Senlou's Light of Annihilation was merged, the power of countless decuple fletched arrows that he had unleashed was also incorporated...
Yu Chen's expression sank and his face seem to pale...
He had been confident.
Just the moon fairy's Senlou's Light of Annihilation is capable of causing him to despair, let alone his decuple fletched arrows...
They were powerful.
And added to that were other powers... Who knew how strong the owners were. But merging them together meant that the entire desert of horror was about to be annihilated.
Just right about then, Yu Chen felt an invincible power which caused all of the hairs to stand on end...
Yu Chen was filled with apprehension...
Space seem to part.
Reality was pierced through...
Non-reality was uncovered and existence shifted.
The fabric of space collapsed and the empty sky trembled.
There was an annihilating beam in the air...
Senlou's Light of Annihilation was the strongest attack there so, it actually took the form of one of it's killer beam.
Yu Chen saw the terrifying surge of power as the beam started to plummet.
The universe cracked.
Existence was riddled in chaos.
Space was torn asunder.
Reality shifted...
Yu Chen would not survive. He would also not be repeated which means— permanent death.
His mind searched frantically for ideas.
His brain was raked, but there was nothing he could do other than watch the beam descend and be swallowed within it.
Besides, death was inevitable. He was the one true heir of the Death God...
Yu Chen smiled and uttered:
"God of Death, I wish there's another path to life through death."
The moment the beam reached half towards the ground, everything began to evaporate... humans, creatures...
However, Yu Chen did not disappear.
He was surrounded by swirling white mist...
Time.
Time kept his presence.
Normally, Yu Chen was supposed to die but when he used time it erased his existence from this timeline and kept it somewhere in the past or the future, but not in the present. Which is the reason why he did not die yet.
But that was for the moment...
The annihilating beam dropped down further and Yu Chen's body was starting to glitch. Once he loses focus, he would be denied by time and erased from existence. Once his energy runs out, he would have to return back to the present and face the crushing pressure of death.
Immediately, the canvas that stored up the endless sea of time mist broke out of the voidless zone...
The power of Yu Chen's will.
A Necromancer's greatest lifesaving power is the power of will. It is also the strongest attacking power if harnessed to the max. He had temporarily disconnected the canvas from the expanse, almost like tearing half part of existence completely.
The sea of time mist opened up and Yu Chen controlled the power it gave off.
The mist transformed into the river of time and crashed upon the beam, causing the heavens to rumble and shake.
At the same time, Yu Chen received the same attack from it that caused his face to be drained of all color.
The power of time was truly terrifying.
Yu Chen focused on the white mist, they opened up like a flower and the river flowed backwards...
Yu Chen's pupils shrank.
The beam of Annihilation reverted instantly to when it had been merging random powers in order to create a full powered attack.
The river of time flowed forward and most of the powers were instantly broken down.
Yu Chen's face was becoming much pale.
Obviously, using powers came with a price. Yu Chen understood this, but wasn't the price too much.
He saw the river of time move again and transformed into an encour...
The sharp tip flashed in the starlight... It instantly pierced through the heavens, the earth, the universe, all of existence...
Yu Chen felt the same attack. Although he did not take damage, he felt the pain of it and he spat out blood on occasions.
But he actually survived...
Yu Chen's eyes flashed with relief when the power was dispersed and the remaining time mist were absorbed completely.
Yu Chen had finally found a way to use the power of time... Time abyss!
Time abyss actually disconnects the time canvas from the Voidless zone and makes it an independent attack...
Yu Chen could control it, but he would always deal with the backlash for using the power of time.
Yu Chen sighed in exasperation. He had succeeded.
