Chapter 880: Space-Time Ring

“Extinguish!”
The hexagram star blasted at Li Fuchen.
Bang!
Li Fuchen was sent flying backwards.
In terms of strength, Li Fuchen was already inferior to the silver-browed man, let alone the comparison with the hexagram star.
Li Fuchen looked down and realized a hexagram star brand on his chest which appeared out of nowhere.
If it was other wounds, Li Fuchen would already be healed from it.
But the hexagram star brand seemed to be a part of Li Fuchen’s body. Li Fuchen took much more time to eliminate the hexagram star energy.
As a result, Li Fuchen’s vitality was naturally depleted by much more.
It might be unassuming, but it must not be underestimated.
“Even the Hexagram Radiant Star Battle Formation…” The silver-browed man admitted that he underestimated Li Fuchen.
Li Fuchen was simply a monster, an undying monster.
As of now, among all the saint lords the silver-browed man knew, in terms of recovery, only the Undying Saint Lord could compare with Li Fuchen. But the Undying Saint Lord didn’t have such tough defenses like Li Fuchen.
Furthermore, the Undying Saint Lord had such terrifying recovery because he joined the Undying Legion.
Before joining the Undying Legion, the Undying Saint Lord already had the undying power, but after joining, the undying power became even stronger. Regular heaven lords wouldn’t be able to kill him in a short period of time.
“Extinguishing Hexagram Radiant Star!”
A powerful light illuminated the universe and engulfed Li Fuchen.
Once the powerful light faded, Li Fuchen was left with a deep hexagram star brand and it nearly reached his bones.
“Sky World Solipsis Sword.”
Ignoring the hexagram star brand, Li Fuchen brandished his sword. A sword light broke through the space-time restriction and slashed on the weak point of the hexagram star.
Crackle!
The hexagram star appeared with a crack.
“Impossible!” One of the archbishops’ voices slipped.
The Hexagram Radiant Star Battle Formation was one of the strongest battle formations in the universe. Not even a heaven lord could break it in a single attack. With Li Fuchen’s attack power, it shouldn’t be possible to deal with the Hexagram Radiant Star Battle Formation.
How could the archbishop know that Li Fuchen had heaven-defying spirit soul power and could immediately find the flaw within the structure of the Hexagram Radiant Star Battle Formation?
Gritting his teeth, the silver-browed man continued to blast attacks at Li Fuchen while controlling the Hexagram Radiant Star Battle Formation.
Li Fuchen simply ignored the attacks and pointed his Joint-Heaven Sword at the hexagram star’s weak spot.
Bang!
Without any surprise, the hexagram star was the first to fall and had exploded. As for Li Fuchen, he only suffered some loss of vitality.
“If you still have anything left, use them now.”
Against the current Li Fuchen, there weren’t many who could deal with him apart from heaven lods.
“Kill!
After the hexagram star exploded, the silver-browed man and five archbishops charged at Li Fuchen together.
Half a day later, two of the archbishops had perished while Li Fuchen was still unscathed.
This made the silver-browed man extremely furious. He clearly knew that they weren’t able to deal with Li Fuchen, at least another white-cloth archbishop was required.
“Spread out, let me deal with him alone.” The silver-browed man was planning to stall Li Fuchen and wait for reinforcements.
“Trying to stall me? Good idea.”
Li Fuchen’s sword art was getting sharper and the fearsome sword qi was slicing multiple sword wounds on the silver-browed man’s body.
“Damn it.”
The silver-browed man lowered his head and looked at the sword wounds on his body.
These sword wounds felt as though they were alive and were squirming on his body.
If the sword intent weren’t removed, his vitality would continue to decline.
One day, two days…
In a blink of the eye, one week passed by.
The distance between universe cities was too far and one week wasn’t enough for the other white-cloth archbishops to travel across.
In just one week, the silver-browed man’s vitality had already been reduced by more than 50%.
As for Li Fuchen who had an inferior strength, his vitality had only been reduced by less than 30%.
“Thank you for helping me reach the next level in my sword dao. Sword Sea Horizon.”
Li Fuchen’s perception was heaven-defying, seven whole days of combat allowed his sword dao to reach an extremely deep state. With all the conditions right, the 1st move of the Primary Extreme Sword Art, Sword Sea Horizon, reached the top rate apex state.
Once the sword move was executed, a raging sword sea immediately engulfed the silver-browed man.
Once the sword sea dispersed, the silver-browed man’s vitality aura was obviously weakened.
“His sword art attack power has increased by at least ten times?” The silver-browed man gasped for cold air.
Before Li Fuchen executed this move, seven days of combat had already exhausted more than half of his vitality. With the sword art attack power increased by ten times, wouldn’t it take less than a day to completely deplete the rest of his vitality?
“I have already captured his qi presence. It is best to retreat for now.” With a turn of the hand, the silver-browed man’s hand appeared with a water droplet.
The water droplet expanded and turned into a bubble which enveloped the silver-browed man and the three other archbishops.
Pfff!
When Li Fuchen slashed on the water droplet, it merely produced some splashes.
It was evident that this water bubble was a top rate apex defense cardinal artifact. Within a short period of time, Li Fuchen wouldn’t be able to break the water bubble.
Swash!
The water bubble broke open the void and vanished in a split second.
“Friend, you have been watching the show for a long time. Isn’t it time to show yourself?” Li Fuchen didn’t give chase, instead, he turned to the right and spoke.
Clap, clap, clap…
An applause could be heard as a tall figure with an ox mask walked out from the void.
“You are actually able to detect me. You are one of the rare few who could do that among the saint lords.” The ox-masked man laughed and said.
“Who are you and what do you want?” Li Fuchen queried.
“I am Chou Ox and I passed by this place unintentionally. Young brother, you shouldn’t be more than 2000 years old right?”
(Note: I chose not to translate the word 醜 as clown or ugly because this word signifies the twelve earthly branches in Chinese astrology, zodiacs, etc. Therefore, I feel that this Chou Ox will likely take a huge role in the origin of things)
To reach the peak level saint lord below the age of 2000 years old was definitely an extraordinary prodigy even in the entire universe.
“So what if I am?”
Li Fuchen raised his brows. Since the Deep Blue Sword Saint Lord mentioned to Li Fuchen about his age, Li Fuchen researched for a long time and finally created a secret technique to slightly alter his vitality aura.
After all, having an age of less than 100 was too appalling and Li Fuchen didn’t know if it would invite any troubles.
Seeing that Li Fuchen had admitted, Chou Ox grinned and said, “Nothing, just giving you a fateful opportunity. This ring is a space-time ring and when the day you encounter a desperate situation, you can choose to activate this ring.”
Chou Ox tossed a ring to Li Fuchen which was embedded with a colorful crystal.
“Space-time ring?” Li Fuchen’s eyes flashed with brilliance.
The space-time ring was extremely valuable and rare. The main component was the space-time crystal and it was countless times more precious than the spatial crystal. It contained the universe’s space-time power.
If the spatial crystal allowed you to traverse through spatial zones, then the space-time crystal allowed you to traverse through space-time.
But be it speed or efficiency, the spatial crystal was far inferior to the space-time crystal.
“What exactly is the fateful opportunity? Could you make it clearer?”
Li Fuchen didn’t understand what Chou Ox was thinking, he didn’t believe that Chou Ox would be so bored to casually give him the space-time ring, unless Chou Ox was a fool.
“Follow the teacher’s footsteps and go beyond this universe. When the day comes, you will understand.”
The ox-masked man flashed and vanished without a trace. Not even Li Fuchen’s spiritual awareness and spirit soul power could detect how Chou Ox left.
