Chapter 2880 - 580:

Cao Zhen had just been about to continue attacking the opponent when, in the distance, that Thunderbolt Monk’s strike had already descended.

Boundless thunder kept slamming down out of the Void.

Cao Zhen suddenly swung his sword, stabbing toward the Void.

At once, the surrounding Void was affected and began to shift, and at the same time the time of this patch of Void underwent a faint change.

Space began incessantly folding. Strands of Void fell, some seeming to plunge into another time-space the moment they touched the folded Void, while other folds of Void gave rise to terrifying power, which met the thunder and mutually canceled it out.

Just as he was fending off the Thunderbolt Monk’s attack, Time-Net Immortal Lord had already withdrawn that fishing net, and now, facing the Mantis Clan opposite him, he suddenly flung out the net in his hand.

In a flash, the net spread open, blocking Heaven and covering the sun, like a boundless dark shadow shrouding the surrounding space.

Every mesh in the net emanated a powerful suction and binding force, as though it could draw everything into itself.

The Mantis Cultivator, gritting his teeth against his wounds, swung his pair of scythes again and again.

But that pair of scythes that could easily split mountains and cleave peaks, when they touched this net, did not tear it apart.

In the next instant, the time around the net suddenly accelerated, and the net itself abruptly shrank.

It seemed like in a single instant it plastered itself onto his body, and then the net tightened.

Immediately, the Mantis Cultivator felt his entire body firmly locked down by this net.

It was not only his body; even the Qi within him seemed to be affected by the net.

The net was like an enormous shackle of confinement, like a sealing lock, firmly sealing him within.

At the same time, Time-Net Immortal Lord’s voice rang out.

"Quick, kill him. I can’t hold him for long."

Hearing this, Cao Zhen suddenly turned, no longer paying any attention to the thunder falling in the Void. Instead he condensed the Void Reincarnation Power within his body onto both hands, then thrust his Sharp Sword fiercely toward the direction of the net.

Sharp Sword Qi blasted forth, hammering heavily onto the wounds the Mantis Cultivator had suffered before.

This time, because the Mantis Cultivator was trapped by the net, he was utterly unable to defend against the Sword Qi and took the terrifying Sword Qi head-on.

The Sword Qi poured in along his previous wounds and then exploded with a thunderous boom.

This time, all the meridians in his body snapped, and even his Soul was invaded by this Sword Qi.

At the same time, that Sword Qi carried strands of temporal power, causing his injuries to worsen at a frantic pace.

Time-Net Immortal Lord simultaneously unleashed the Power of Reincarnation. Currents of Time Reincarnation Qi surged through the net, likewise rapidly aggravating the Mantis Cultivator’s injuries.

In the next moment, terrifying explosions rang out within the Mantis Cultivator’s body. Under the acceleration of time reincarnation from Cao Zhen and Time-Net Immortal Lord, his entire body exploded with a roar.

And at the very same time, strands of thunder also fell, crashing down onto Cao Zhen and Time-Net Immortal Lord.

Cao Zhen felt his whole body go numb. Under the thunder’s bombardment, the divine light on his body suddenly burst apart, and his clothes exploded along with it.

At the same time, a faint scorched smell drifted up.

Inside his body, his blood and Qi were violently churned, and clear cracks appeared all over him.

This was the attack of a Taichi Golden Immortal. Even if his fleshly body was strong, it was impossible to block the opponent’s strike relying on flesh alone.

By his side, Time-Net Immortal Lord’s face had gone deathly pale, and his injuries looked even worse than Cao Zhen’s.

Though his Protective Body Divine Light was stronger, his body was far weaker than Cao Zhen’s.

In the distance, the Thunderbolt Monk looked at the two who had been injured, a glint of joy flashing across his face. Although that Mantis Cultivator was already dead and he now faced two Cultivators alone, both of them had been wounded by him, so his chances of winning were not nonexistent.

If he killed them, then all these people’s treasures would belong to him.

Suddenly, in the next instant, his eyes flew wide open.

Cao Zhen and Time-Net Immortal Lord both simultaneously surged with Time Reincarnation Qi. Under the cycle of time, their injuries rapidly healed, and the pallor on Time-Net Immortal Lord’s face completely vanished.

He froze. The Dao of time reincarnation could be used like this?

He had seen Cultivators who possessed the Dao of time reincarnation, but this was the first time he had seen Cultivators use the Dao of time reincarnation to treat wounds.

Though their injuries did not instantly recover completely, they could lighten their wounds. In that state, how was he supposed to deal with these two?

Run!

Without hesitation, he spun around and fled.

Time-Net Immortal Lord, however, stared in shock at this Cultivator who had suddenly struck to help him, and cried out softly, "What is your relationship with the Reincarnation Palace of the Indistinct Sect? Or rather, I should ask: what is your relationship with that little lass Heaven Wheel?

Many cultivate the Dao of time reincarnation, yet in all my encounters, only our Skyeye Clan’s Cultivators—especially the Reincarnation Palace lineage of the Indistinct Sect—use time reincarnation in this manner.

And your Time Reincarnation Qi is extremely similar to that little lass Heaven Wheel’s."

As he spoke, he himself fell into doubt. "No, that little lass Heaven Wheel is still in the Golden Immortal Realm; she hasn’t entered the Primeval Realm. You couldn’t possibly have met her.

Unless you entered our Skyeye Clan’s world.

No, no—that’s impossible. How could a Taichi Golden Immortal like you enter our Skyeye Clan’s world?"

Cao Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart. Sure enough, he had been right to intervene. The other indeed had a deep connection with Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch; otherwise, he couldn’t have so easily sensed Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch’s style from the time reincarnation he’d used.

But precisely because their relationship ran so deep, he had to hurry and come up with some explanation.

Cao Zhen’s thoughts flashed and he spoke: "I did indeed enter your Skyeye Clan’s world, through the Primeval Realm.

When I entered, I was still in the Golden Immortal Realm. After I left, I broke through again to the Golden Immortal Realm and then came here.

As for Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch, I once discussed the Dao with her.

She is more adept at the Dao of time reincarnation, and I am more adept at the Void Reincarnation Path. The two of us discussed the Dao and complemented one another."

He did not speak of Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch being his martial aunt. If such matters spread, it would not be good for Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch or the Indistinct Sect.

After all, he was an outsider, and he had carried away the Void Tribe’s inheritance.
