Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1559: 435: Prisoner of Xixuan
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
“Whew~”
From the heart of the clash, a boundless gale exploded outward, scattering every speck of debris and exposing a lone human and beast standing in the battleground.
The Abyssal Spear of the Extreme Martial Emperor, gripped by the Martial Emperor, quivered without end. The fortune energy that had once cloaked its keen edge had vanished amid the fierce impact moments ago, and now a fissure marred the weapon's surface.
Fueled by the Martial Emperor's seemingly boundless martial energy, that fissure vanished swiftly, yet the ferocity of that blow had clearly diminished the weapon's overwhelming presence.
In the same instant, the Martial Emperor's hair turned silver-white, as though years had piled upon him in a flash.
With martial energy surging through him, his youthful look began to return gradually.
Still, the profound wounds inflicted by the Time Master's temporal laws proved far from simple to erase.
Across the field, the Time Master fared no better.
Though it seemed untouched by harm, streams of the time river at its base started to fade into shadow.
Those represented its alternate forms from parallel timelines, destroyed by the Martial Emperor's assault in the prior exchange.
For even a legendary Time Master, restoring those lost versions across timelines wasn't feasible in a heartbeat, making the Martial Emperor's hit a heavy toll on it too.
The partially healed human and beast locked gazes once more, their stares brimming with savage murderous urge.
“The luck of humanity, you can’t use it anymore!”
The Time Master bellowed, its talon-shaped grip like a force to erase eras, laden with horrifying law energies, lunging savagely toward the Martial Emperor.
“Right back at you!”
The Martial Emperor gave a cold huff and pulled back the Extreme Martial Emperor’s Abyssal Spear for a second, unsheathing the Soul Suppressing Sword in its place.
“Clang!”
A crisp, piercing ring of the blade echoed as dark, profound sword rays stretched over the heavens, accompanied by eerie spectral cries, daring to confront the Time Master’s onslaught head-on.
A sharp glint flashed in the Time Master’s gaze, its talons dispersing the sword rays while immense time-law forces burst from the Time Divine Ring hovering behind its skull, blanketing the area.
The flowing time stream beneath it contracted sharply to a tiny sliver, as if severed clean.
This marked the temporal lockdown, now deployed by the fabled Time Master, which pinned the Martial Emperor within a tiny time fragment in a flash, forcing him into endless loops.
All the while, the Time Master lingered beyond the trap, shifting its offensive tactics with every cycle.
With strategy clashing against surprise, the Martial Emperor quickly slipped into a dire position.
“What a clever move!”
The Martial Emperor bellowed in rage, his sword rays growing wilder, like a force to shatter realms, merging into a single torrent before hurtling toward the Time Master.
The inky sword ray, enriched by devouring myriad spirits, held an uncanny essence; though the blow didn't strike the physical plane, it sent the isolated time sliver into perilous instability.
That was the Sword of Annihilation!
In the chaotic surge of forces, the Martial Emperor’s battle gear flared with primordial aura, and he abandoned the blade, syncing with his armor to unleash a raw, bodily strike.
That fist rattled the cosmos!
Amid a cataclysmic boom, the time-law barrier shattered utterly.
Liberated from time's chains, the Martial Emperor surged forward in blazing wrath, stowing his blade and diving into brutal melee with the Time Master, armored and unrelenting!
“Roar!”
The Time Master let out a furious howl.
As a creature of myth, it surprisingly lagged in sheer brawling against the human Martial Emperor.
After the short clash of flesh and fury, ugly gashes marred its form.
While hastening its mending through time laws, a savage gleam ignited in the Time Master’s eyes.
It repeated the ploy, ensnaring the Martial Emperor with temporal might before darting away swiftly.
Grand radiance gathered in the Time Divine Ring at its nape, its dread slaughter aura quaking the lands.
The instant the Martial Emperor escaped the hold, the Time Master unleashed a devastating holy glow anew, slamming downward upon him.
The Martial Emperor’s face twisted in alarm, and with a mighty cry, he triggered the Luck Power Armor without delay.
Awe-inspiring force surged from the gear, unyielding as a peak, the fearsome strength wrapping the Martial Emperor in an instant.
Upon entering the Luck Power Armor's domain, the holy glow's fall halted abruptly, bogged down like in thick mud.
Moreover, the armor's essence seemed to wield erasure and nullification, dimming the holy glow at a visible rate.
Witnessing the Martial Emperor resist its Cosmic Division Light sans human fortune, a cold fury reignited in the Time Master’s stare.
Yet in the following beat, that cold fury shifted to triumph.
Beneath the relentless holy glow's assault, the Luck Power Armor quivered faintly.
Though it held off the Time Master’s blow to some degree, the strain was evident.
Ultimately, a thread of holy glow, spared from erasure, struck the Martial Emperor true.
The Martial Emperor let out a grunt, his form blurring on contact with the light, as if layered with phantom echoes.
Despite scattering some of the force, the leftover holy glow fractured the Martial Emperor across scores of timelines right away.
In the very next instant, the Time Master, ready to pounce, bared its lethal resolve and barreled toward the Martial Emperor.
“Trickery!”
The Martial Emperor’s look turned grave, and with a profound yell, his martial energy tore through the emptiness, obliterating the Destruction Rule's essence.
