Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1560 - 435: Prisoner of the Western Profound Realm
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Though it was his first encounter with such a strange occurrence, the Martial Emperor remained true to his title. He swiftly regained his composure and started striving to summon his counterparts from alternate timelines.
Yet, the task proved challenging.
Differing from the Time Master's other abilities, the Cosmic Division Light stood as its fundamental technique.
Since his early years, the Time Master had wielded this ability repeatedly in battles, executing it innumerable times.
Therefore, after the Cosmic Division Light activated, dispelling it was no simple feat.
Had the Martial Emperor been akin to Qiuqiu, armed with an eternal rule that countered this effectively, the situation might have differed.
Still, his martial arts prowess wasn't suited for such a challenge, and as the Time Master assaulted from various timelines to hinder his recall, the Martial Emperor found himself unable to break free.
Then let's battle!
As the Time Master advanced from multiple timelines, the Martial Emperor resolutely abandoned his efforts, with a brilliant battle intent igniting in his gaze.
In the instant that followed, his versions across timelines sprang into motion, some brandishing massive spears, others clutching lengthy blades, and some relying on fists alone.
Every incarnation of him employed utterly distinct martial arts moves, each bursting with astonishing force, ascending to a fearsome degree near the Dao, carrying overwhelming power in every strike.
"You!"
Following a short exchange, the Time Master displayed an expression of astonishment and doubt.
Previously, it had employed the Cosmic Division Light to split foes into separate timelines, then had its avatars in each timeline use varied tactics to wipe out the enemy's versions sequentially, thus amplifying its dominance progressively.
However, right now, once separated, the Martial Emperor battled with the comfort of his own territory.
Since each of his timeline avatars adopted unique approaches, the Time Master confronted Martial Emperors wielding diverse skills in every timeline, swiftly eroding its edge.
The rate at which both sides' avatars fell was roughly equal.
How could this human possess such a vast array of techniques?
The Time Master felt profound astonishment.
A piercing gleam sparked in the main timeline Martial Emperor's eyes.
Who was he?
He stood as the pinnacle of the martial path, the unchallenged supreme authority.
Beyond just the Emperor Martial Palace in the West Profound Domain, he had even devised numerous martial arts skills in the Eastern Extreme Domain and Northern Divine Domain!
Moreover, throughout those years of dormancy via hidden methods, the Martial Emperor had persistently dwelled in soul illumination.
Even without the ability to act, resembling a corpse entombed in a sarcophagus, he drew on his unmatched genius to invent countless martial arts techniques anew.
Regarding techniques, he held no fear whatsoever toward the Time Master!
With the flow of time, the vigor of both the Martial Emperor and the Time Master visibly diminished.
Realizing it had clashed with the Martial Emperor through numerous exchanges without gaining victory, the Time Master at last grew restless.
"Martial Emperor, you're forcing my hand!"
It bellowed, as a profound thumping of a heartbeat echoed relentlessly from the emptiness.
A heart formed purely from Time Rules materialized out of the void.
That heart appeared vibrant and pulsing, unleashing immense rule energy with every throb.
"It's Time’s Heart!"
Within the Immortal Phoenix Sect, Qiuqiu's expression shifted dramatically at the sight.
Unlike its own Time’s Heart, the Time Master's version proved far more potent, seeming on the verge of integrating into its very body.
That heart had been cultivated and empowered by mythic-rank Divine Rules, forming the ultimate Time’s Heart.
Earlier, Lin Su and Qiuqiu had guessed that the Time Master's Heavenly Rank Secret Realm was probably the Time Pavilion.
Yet now, with the Time Master unveiling a Time’s Heart achievable only through the Time Pavilion's inheritance, this suspicion was thoroughly verified.
"This isn't good!" Recalling a particular entry from the Time Scripture, Qiuqiu's countenance grew ever more somber, "It's preparing to detonate the Time’s Heart!"
This represented the ultimate explosive forbidden art of the Time Pavilion heritage.
By offering up the Time’s Heart, it could compel a forced alteration of the foe's destiny!
Without the enemy's strength vastly surpassing its own, resisting this desperate forbidden method was exceedingly tough!
While the Martial Emperor's might was impressive, it obviously didn't outstrip the Time Master's by a wide margin.
"Lanlan, attempt to alert the Martial Emperor." Lin Su urged without delay.
Despite harboring no affection for the Martial Emperor, the Time Master's danger loomed far larger.
The choice of ally in this instant was obvious.
Lanlan gave a nod, and the view ahead vanished in a flash.
At the edge where the West Profound Domain met the Endless Sea, a belief avatar of pristine water essence soared skyward, plunging straight into the West Profound Domain, its vast energy swelling to form a resounding call.
"Martial Emperor, be careful!"
Although a clash between mythic rank and Martial God Realm lay beyond the belief avatar's reach to influence, relaying a message remained within its capabilities.
The following instant, a strand of Time system's Rule Power raced over and annihilated that belief avatar.
Back in the Immortal Phoenix Sect, Lanlan conjured a fresh belief avatar with a gesture, resuming their observation.
It had no shortage save for belief avatars.
The Martial Emperor's features altered subtly. Catching that unfamiliar cautionary tone, he also detected a chilling peril via his soul sense.
In the very next second, he firmly seized the Extreme Martial Emperor’s Abyssal Spear with one hand while unsheathing the Soul Suppressing Sword in the other.
The Martial World’s Heaven Armor surged with unmatched ferocity, hurling the Martial Emperor away at once.
"Too late!"
The Time Master's bellow, entwined with a horrifying blast.
