The Time Master unleashes the powerful Destiny Decree Manual to bind Qiuqiu in a web of fatal futures. Defying the overwhelming pressure, Qiuqiu demonstrates a mastery of the past path of time, forcing the Time Master into a defensive struggle as the very timeline shifts. Having successfully countered the assault, Qiuqiu turns the tide and prepares a lethal strike while the Time Master realizes the true extent of its opponent's temporal prowess.

An aggressive killing intent surged forth behind the long blade, immediately mirroring the distinct river of time characteristic of the Time Master.

If the general river of time inhabited by all living beings could be likened to a vast sea, then the personal time river of the Time Master was merely a shallow brook.

For the average creature, the scale of their own time river is almost certainly beyond description and infinitesimally small.

Within the stream unfolding at the feet of the Time Master, every singular droplet seemed to contain a vision specific to the Time Master's existence.

While scenes within the upstream flow remained static and well-defined, the visions downstream became increasingly distorted and fluid.

These segments serve to represent the immutable past, the fluid present, and the mysterious, unwritten future.

In the subsequent moment, as the Time Master revealed its temporal domain, the long blade unleashed an overwhelming, lethal force, slowly cleaving toward the downstream portion of the river.

It was as if the strike intended to sever the Time Master's river and, in doing so, eradicate its future entirely!

Qiuqiu’s Talent Skill: Time Gap Judgment!

“Impossible!”

Shock and fury flickered across the countenance of the Time Master, and promptly, a surge of chaotic rules emanated from its surroundings.

The sharp outline of its physical form blurred into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

It resembled golden mist wrapping around its essence, or perhaps a dozen versions of itself layered together in an inexplicable fashion.

As its form shifted, the protocols of the Time Master acted upon its personal river, causing countless new tributaries to sprout downstream from beneath its feet.

Although the long blade possessed the power to shatter the downstream river, it could only realistically strike through a single timeline.

Once one doppelganger on that specific timeline was annihilated, the potency of the Time Gap Judgment quietly faded back into the void.

The Time Master surged forward once more toward Qiuqiu.

Having witnessed the true extent of Qiuqiu’s capabilities, the Time Master dared not show any negligence, adopting an even more aggressive posture for the next exchange.

An unprecedented, terrifying radiance coalesced within its vertical pupil, erupting suddenly as it swept toward Qiuqiu.

The Cosmic Division Light, significantly more potent than the initial strike, locked its gaze onto Qiuqiu once again!

While channeling the Cosmic Division Light, the Time Master did not cease its advance.

A malevolent killing intent manifested on its face as it raised a massive claw, slashing toward Qiuqiu with brutal enthusiasm.

In stark contrast to the surrounding haze, the area around its palm and claw became crystalline and sharp the moment the blow began to descend, accompanied by an aura that made Qiuqiu feel an immense sense of dread!

Time Master’s Talent Skill: Time Extinction!

By activating this ability, the Time Master could condense the entirety of its power across every timeline, channelling it directly into its physical vessel.

Even though these avatars were fragments, the Time Master, having mastered the Cosmic Path, could force each to erupt with strength nearly rivaling its prime self.

When these immense forces are layered upon one another, the resultant strike vastly eclipses the standard power of the main body!

While this explosive state cannot be sustained due to the constraints of borrowing from the future, the Time Master inevitably pays a heavy price for such a feat.

Nevertheless, there is no denying that this sudden, enhanced strike presented a lethal threat to Qiuqiu!

At the same time, the Time Master’s vast temporal influence washed over the area, chaoticizing the past, present, and future, which effectively stripped Qiuqiu of the ability to reuse its previous countermeasures.

Through the simultaneous application of these tactics, the Time Master firmly reclaimed the momentum of the battle.

Should Qiuqiu choose to dissipate the Cosmic Division Light as it had before, it would be forced to withstand the Time Master’s claw using only its own physical fortitude.

The extinction power housed within that claw had already crossed the threshold of what Qiuqiu could safely endure.

Direct impact would surely result in near-instant, grievous injury!

Of course, there was a way to negate the power of that claw.

One could simply cease resistance and allow the Cosmic Division Light to fragment oneself into countless pieces as well.

By doing so, the death of a self on that specific timeline would minimize the overall trauma dealt to Qiuqiu.

However, once Qiuqiu is entangled within the Cosmic Path, the Time Master undoubtedly holds further methods of suppression at the ready!

Facing the sheer intensity of this crisis, a sharp, fierce gleam ignited in the depths of Qiuqiu’s eyes.

A choice?

It would choose neither!

In the final heartbeat before the destruction arrived, it spoke.

“I have visited the Time Pavilion.”

A subtle flicker of surprise crossed the Time Master's eyes, yet it remained silent, its killing intent merely intensifying until the sweeping offensive grew so overwhelming that the entire river of time lashed out with incomprehensible waves.

“Therefore…” Just before the strikes collided with its body, Qiuqiu remarked with calm composure, “I have thoroughly studied your path.”

In that very instant, as both assaults descended upon Qiuqiu, its aura suddenly flared, climbing to a level of terrifying magnitude.

An explosive growth of power surged forth from one timeline after another, manifesting from the seemingly empty air.

Within those swirling timeline rivers, Qiuqiu’s form became manifest; however, unlike the Time Master’s method, the river under Qiuqiu’s feet did not fracture. Instead, the timelines extending from the void began to converge toward Qiuqiu.

They were drawing power from the endless timelines of the past!

“Boom!”
