Chapter 5674“Ugh!”David coughed up blood, his ribs shattered in countless places. His body flew backward like a tattered sack, carving a deep furrow in the ground before finally crashing into the wall at the far end of the hall.His aura instantly weakened drastically, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword fell from his hand, landing nearby with a mournful hum.“It’s over…”Yan Nantian’s heart sank, his face filled with despair.Even David had been defeated, defeated so utterly. Who could stop the Soul Devourer?Was the Yama Heavenly Sect truly destined for destruction today?The disciples of the Yama Heavenly Sect were even more pale, many collapsing to the ground, trembling.The Soul Devourer nodded in satisfaction and ordered the burly man, “Alright, you’ve had your fun. Give him a quick death.”The burly man obeyed, taking heavy steps towards the fallen David.He raised his foot, his foot radiating terrifying power and strange time fluctuations, preparing to crush David’s head with a single blow.The shadow of death loomed over him.David lay in the cold ruins, his consciousness somewhat blurred, excruciating pain sweeping through his body. But deep within his mind, every detail of the previous exchanges was frantically replaying, especially the extremely brief reversal of time!“Reversal…not acceleration, nor deceleration…it’s going back…it’s reversal…”“My time slowing is exerting influence, changing the flow rate…while his is direct interference, covering, resetting…”“What is the essence of time…? Is it a flowing river? A string that can be plucked? Or…a membrane that can be folded, spliced, covered…?”All his past insights into the origin of time, and the impact of this higher law of time that he was personally experiencing betweenthe past present, and future.”Slowing downnow…all of it collided, intertwined, and merged wildly in his desperate consciousness! He seemed to see the surging river of time, the branches and convergences of countless timelines, the subtle and inseparable connection… only slows down the flow of a certain section of the river… while flowing backwards… forcibly makes a small section of the river flow upstream…”noveldrama“To achieve this, the power required, the understanding of the origin, far surpasses mine… but… all laws share the same origin… their essence is the same…”“He covered my laws, reset a local point in time… so… if I could see through that ‘point’ he reset, and intervene in advance at the moment that ‘point’ was reset, or… make my laws also uncoverable…”The burly man’s foot, capable of shattering mountains, carrying the aura of death, was already raised, about to fall!Yan Nantian closed his eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.Liu Xue struggled to get up, but collapsed helplessly, her beautiful eyes filled with despair and tears.At this critical moment!David’s previously somewhat unfocused eyes suddenly burst forth with a light as brilliant as stars!It was a light that had seen through some truth, seen through illusion!He saw it!As power gathered at the burly man’s feet, and the laws of time began to fluctuate, preparing to unleash the partial time reversal once more, David clearly “saw” the “time node” about to be reset!“So that’s it!”A profound and mysterious understanding surged into David’s mind.His understanding of the origin of time broke through its bottleneck at this moment, reaching a completely new level!Simultaneously, within David’s primordial space, a star erupted with dazzling light.David no longer tried to “slow down” or “resist” the opponent’s time reversal, but instead… merged, synchronized!Just as the burly man’s foot was about to strike, just a split second before the time reversal law was activated!David mobilized all the remaining spiritual power within his body, as well as the transformed power of the origin of time, not releasing it outwards, but contracting it inwards, tightly enveloping himself, especially the small space where his head was located.
