Chapter 1718: Chapter 1718

1718: Chapter 1714: Time Hunter 1718: Chapter 1714: Time Hunter Lu Ping’an looked out, twisted spatial rifts and warped time were everywhere.

The sense of reality was entirely disordered.

This monster’s use of the Power of Time was simple and crude, yet it made Lu Ping’an feel genuine joy deep within his heart.

Time and space are inseparable, but spatial system abilities are at least a hundred times more significant than those of the time series.

This is partly because the Power of Time is controlled by a certain “apex,” which makes it almost impossible for mortals to grasp.

Even if they manage to grasp it, it often leads to dire consequences.

“It’s just too difficult.

Time, as the keystone of all universes, is truly too hard to master…”

It’s a straightforward path—if you’ve mastered the ability to reverse time, how does the world perceive you?

And if there were multiple time series ability users who all attempted a ‘time freeze’ simultaneously, would time freeze, or wouldn’t it?

Because of this, even the rare time series abilities in the world are often tied to “time within a specific spatial limit,” similar to the Time Stele in Lu Ping’an’s courtyard.

As for Lu himself, he obtained the Time Divine Power from an ancient artifact.

So, the question arises: even with an ancient artifact , how do you enhance it…

“…Is this the good fortune of the Son of Destiny?

I’ve been searching for time abilities for so long, and now I’ve encountered them here, and they’re even so ‘delicious.'”

Looking at the chaotic, surging mass of flesh before him, Lu Ping’an’s mouth nearly watered.

The overwhelming Life Force radiating from it stirred a primal hunger within him.

The ‘Famine Curse’ doubled its effects on life system users like Lu Ping’an, and more importantly, the “Power of Time” offered his courtyard the opportunity for evolution.

Low-level basic life demands survival; higher tiers pursue development, and further up, it naturally leads to evolution (including ethnic group evolution).

At this moment, Lu Ping’an, perhaps influenced by the “Famine” from the God Above Gods, acted with serious intent.

Calm words, emotionless snow-white pupils, locking onto the surrounding space.

And when the fiery words fell, the Hell of Flames he “named” descended into the mortal world.

Displaying both mercy and cruelty, salvation and hellish punishment, the sky suddenly produced four shifting walls, instantly transforming into a spiraling purgatory.

An eighth-tier extraordinary professional became nothing more than a footnote to Lu Ping’an.

His core essence had undergone monumental changes compared to three years ago.

Having mastered “the ability to control the world,” rewriting the world was merely a natural extension of his capabilities.

Black flames spread across the sky and clouds, enveloping the Oblivion Snake, which recoiled in terror before erupting in retaliation—only to be slammed back against the walls, fire coating its limbs.

The violently spinning Great Flame Hell resembled a rotating roasting cage.

The burning blaze carried the scent of roasted meat.

No gaps, no blind spots.

If you can use time abilities to evade, then here’s damage you cannot evade.

Standing atop the cage, Lu Ping’an’s snow-white eyes locked on the creature beneath.

Unable to resist the desire within him, his lips curved into a smile.

Lu Ping’an stomped with force.

Metallic armor shimmered around him, but the truly fatal attack was the “Shock Wave” he unleashed.

The Three Extreme Skills of the Wave Battle Axe were already fully mastered.

Spatial rifts materialized one after another inside the cage.

The monster trapped in the cage saw countless windows form as chunks of flesh were torn apart and scattered.

It howled, trying to absorb more “time” to reverse its flow and restore itself.

But the spatial storm of the Flame Hell blocked its vision and disrupted its abilities, allowing its legion to escape by a narrow margin.

Although spatial ruptures and instability might not fatally injure the Oblivion Snake, space and time are inseparable, and the scrambled space from Lu Ping’an’s Extinguish Void disturbed its time-based powers as well.

The monster suddenly erupted in desperation.

Numerous “heads” burst apart instantly.

Pale radiance swept across the world, and for a moment, the entire realm seemed to shift to black and white, transformed into a surreal illusion.

The next instant, everything returned to calm.

The monster remained standing on the city walls, though its countless shattered heads and the black blood seeping from them made it clear this was no mere dream.

Hovering before it, Lu Ping’an found himself thoroughly intrigued.

The forced reversal of time made him appreciate this rare beast even more.

“Peace… retreat… treasure… yours…”

The creature that seemed to step out of nightmares surprisingly managed to utter friendly words.

It even produced a treasure chest overflowing with colorful treasures, a sign of its “kindness.” Such a beast, defeated and unable to fight, resorting to begging?

But Lu Ping’an merely smiled lightly and shook his head with calm rejection.

Even disregarding your “value,” for all those human heads and skulls on your body, you dare suggest this ends here?

The red bracelet around Lu Ping’an’s wrist shattered instantly.

[Lu Ping’an’s Hell Divine Fire Shield (Lower Gold, damaged)]

It seemed this specially designed weapon had reached its end.

Lu Ping’an casually procured five more bracelets, red, blue, yellow, white, and purple.

For this day, he had long prepared himself abundantly.

Just as he had once advised his newest apprentice, for us life system users, victory in war comes down to stockpiling and logistics.

Over years of frenzied dividend collection through his courtyard, even Lu Ping’an himself had lost count of how many weapons he had stockpiled.

“My reserves are plentiful, little snake.

Let’s see if your ‘time’ can hold out…”

The malicious Life Demon God gazed at the Time Demon God with a grin that resembled the smirk of a hellish judge.

This time, the Oblivion Snake—reputed as an all-powerful being—had encountered an unyielding wall.

Its hunter understood the intricate connections between space and time better than anyone, erecting endless spatial barriers to disrupt its time-twisting power.

Lu Ping’an would never allow any Time Holder to turn him into their prey.

Unlike the past, the current Lu Ping’an fully embodied the form a true Life Controller should take.

That said, compared to a normally progressing Quasi-God, he had accelerated by three to five hundred years.

“This isn’t war; this is hunting…”

The calm words were a declaration of truth, not sentiment.

Even though both were eighth-tier, the gap between them was insurmountable.

The once-pivotal advantage of time had been thoroughly disrupted, reducing the monster to prey rather than a rival.

In the rear, Zhu Xinran stood dumbfounded.

She had understood how powerful that monster was and had even prepared for sacrifices.

Many of her companions had already been reduced to “materials” for the creature.

She had made ample preparations in terms of resources and intel.

Precisely because she comprehended the monster’s bizarre and overwhelming strength, she was utterly baffled by the scene unfolding before her.

“It’s practically a natural predator’s dominance, almost like a father disciplining his child…”

One by one, the bracelets were transformed into cages, spatial barriers, urns, and traps, giving her an eye-opening experience.

She better understood the statement from her overly young mentor.

“…The outcome of war is fundamentally determined outside of war.

Only those with painstaking daily accumulation, whether of ‘Life’ or resources, can secure ultimate victory.”
