Chapter 1719: Chapter 1719
1719: Chapter 1715: Skyflame 1719: Chapter 1715: Skyflame Facing the demon before him, Lu Ping’an didn’t seem as casual as others imagined.
His gaze remained locked on his opponent.
Every time the opponent attempted to unleash a burst…
Lu Ping’an waved his hand, causing the starlit sky to shimmer, and this strike landed directly on the opponent’s waist.
Against such a colossal adversary, the extent of damage was hard to estimate, but the time vortex the opponent tried to create abruptly came to an end.
What was once an absolute skill in the past, Lu Ping’an had refined into a mere Flat A (basic attack).
The shattered space directly disrupted the time stability in the affected region.
Lu Ping’an had already noticed that his opponent’s method of exerting force involved using excessive spiritual power to interfere with space, and then using space to interfere with time.
Therefore, with space shattered, it could naturally accomplish nothing!
Zhu Xinran’s perspective wasn’t wrong.
This was a case of natural enemies countering each other—a complete suppression akin to a father spanking his son.
The formidable Time-Space Snake had encountered its ultimate counter.
The battlefield quickly shifted to the hunter’s initiative phase.
This turn is my turn, the next turn will still be my turn…
All the way until the game ends, every turn will belong to me, Lu Ping’an!
The Eye of Truth constantly tracked its every movement.
What had once been its advantage—the massive size—now made its actions impossible to conceal.
Whenever the opponent attempted a burst of power, the highly agile Lu Ping’an would easily shatter the surrounding space, depriving its Time Power of the foundation needed for activation.
The anguished screams of countless heads echoed in the air.
It was deeply frustrated but utterly powerless.
A renewed Flame Cage wrapped around it once more.
This artifact was outrageously expensive, enough to serve as a cornerstone Divine Artifact for any major power.
Yet here, it was being casually used as a consumable, showcasing Lu Ping’an’s ruthless generosity.
Wars between top-tier extraordinary beings often devolve into battles of attrition, where one party evades and the other chases.
Unless the weaker side loses all rationality and fights to the death, it’s rare for true death to occur.
Yet this time, even though the Oblivion Snake tried to escape repeatedly, even sacrificing parts of itself, its attempts invariably ended in failure time and time again.
The Black Flames employed by Lu Ping’an, which burned away life itself, persistently absorbed and annihilated its life force…
In fact, this was far more vicious than killing it outright.
Within this incinerating prison, its physical body had already been destroyed repeatedly.
It seemed to have drawn upon the darkest curse from the minds of East Country victims, and through its boiling Time Power, transformed this malice into the most venomous curse.
[Time Curse obtained: Barren Forever (Mid-Level Gold): You will struggle to have time belonging to your descendants…]
Lu Ping’an was a little stunned, staring at the visibly weakened Oblivion Snake before him.
Scratching his head, he wasn’t quite sure what to say.
“…You don’t understand…
Lu Ping’an had no habit of explaining abilities and weaknesses to his opponents on the battlefield.
High-level extraordinary battles often involved intelligence warfare—the less said, the better.
But he could tell that the opponent’s heads probably weren’t functioning all that well…
Uh, could it be the Dumbing Aura?
Otherwise, it really wouldn’t be this stupid.
Lu Ping’an glanced at the new disciple outside the battlefield, leaving her utterly confused.
Now, in the wake of the “Divine Power Curse” that even Lu Ping’an couldn’t fully evade, the Oblivion Snake’s aura visibly weakened.
The piercing hatred, along with countless despairing eyes fixed on Lu Ping’an, made him grasp the entirety of the situation.
To resort to such a move at this point…
You too have seen through time.”
It was no wonder it seemed so confident—even possessing not only Time series combat abilities but also a degree of precognitive capacity.
This indeed enabled it to remain undefeated in most battles.
But against Lu Ping’an, a hunter adept at severing spatial connections and armed with an arsenal of strategic reserve abilities, it no longer possessed any future in which it could escape.
At the very least, among the various possibilities it foresaw, it could only choose between dying sooner and dying later.
Its desperate Time Curse was a divine lament uttered just before death.
Once released, the creature visibly wilted, while the cruel hunter opposing it merely gazed at it with a faintly mocking smile.
Fate seemed to have hammered home the final outcome.
curse…” Numerous heads stared at Lu Ping’an, their resentment unabated, with venomous words poised at their lips.
This time, however, Lu Ping’an wasn’t about to let it unleash another deathbed curse.
This time, a full-force Space Shock erupted, accompanied by black flames that surged with at least double the intensity.
The amplified black flames continued their assault, engaging in an endless war of attrition over “existence.”
One side was trapped in a cage, with both energy and body reduced to ashes, while the other conserved resources, able to disrupt any resistance with minimal effort.
Ultimately, Lu Ping’an’s inexhaustible black flames dominated the battlefield.
On this battlefield, the tide had clearly turned in Lu Ping’an’s favor.
Lives were being harvested en masse, countless “players” ascended to lv3 and lv4 transformations, and during this process, Lu Ping’an naturally replenished his inexhaustible “life energy.”
One side grew while the other diminished; one had limits while the other was infinite.
Even delving into future possibilities with every ounce of strength it had left, the Oblivion Snake saw only various forms of its demise.
A creature born of resentment and curses, it tried to expend its life force to launch one final curse against the hunter.
But after its first curse took effect, the opponent offered no further openings.
The black flames of curse, the golden flames of purification, and the crumbling spatial rifts—when Lu Ping’an began throwing Rule-level taboo items as consumables, the outcome was already sealed.
Sixteen minutes and forty-two seconds—this Overlord-level entity, the Oblivion Snake, was headed for its end.
As its final lament echoed across the space, there were hardly any surviving Fishmen left on the battlefield.
In contrast, more black flame creatures had joined a new legion.
Lu Ping’an’s ever-maturing Burning Legion didn’t reject enemy recruits, but they wouldn’t twist the souls of their foes either.
Most of the life energy instead became nutrition for the black flames, which strengthened those black flame creatures once loyal to Lu Ping’an beyond their former selves.
In truth, across the Multi-universe, the Burning Legion initially unleashed by Lu Ping’an had yet to extinguish.
Like other legions, they recruited newcomers while remaining nearly impossible to eradicate completely.
This time, the universal calamity that had already gained some notoriety across the Multi-universe once again displayed its destructive power on Earth.
It might take a long time for anyone to learn the true source of the disaster.
Perhaps by then, the title “King of Black Flame” might overshadow the epithet “King of Mercy.”
Watching his master casually summon the scorched carcass of a lord-level being—the legendary Time Poison Snake that had reportedly ascended into the Divine Realm and surpassed most Quasi-Gods—only to make it vanish, Zhu Xinran couldn’t help but ask.
“Uh, what’s strange about that?
This isn’t even the first Overlord I’ve killed.
Honestly, this one is among the weaker ones.”
Thinking back to the Snake King and the Beast King he’d fought in the past, along with that ill-fated unlucky soul from another world who was killed indirectly, this creature truly didn’t measure up—it was definitively bottom-tier.
Lu Ping’an pulled out his tablet and quickly typed out a message.
Meanwhile, in the nearby command center, a staff member stood up with a look of elation.
the King of Mercy just conquered a medium-sized city and killed the eighth-tier lord, the Oblivion Snake!!
That Time Poison Snake!”
Lu Ping’an remained oblivious to the fact that the ‘little prey’ and ‘little snake’ he saw had already earned a notorious reputation.
With its mastery of time and precognition, the creature was sly and far-sighted, long regarded as one of humanity’s most challenging foes to slay.
“Defeating top-tier combat power within twenty minutes?
This undoubtedly marked the first kill in the battle—a swift and record-setting achievement.
