Star Gate

Chapter 2028: Descend (I)

A massive explosion rocked the river, reaching the past and future. The youngster on the water furiously backed away, spraying blood everywhere. The book of civilization broke and he coughed up blood with a look of anger!

“Fucking hell!”

The tribulation was so strong!

Damn it, master of time, I’ll remember you! You tricked me good!

Meanwhile, the Human King and others blinked with surprise. Hot damn! The guy was still alive after that?

“It’s only five thousand dao rules, but the dao rules have become daos of their own.” Long Zhan realized solemnly. “They infinitely approach eight thousand dao rules and their strength is on par with eight thousand dao rules... He rivals the daos in Li Hao’s worlds!”

One dao was the equivalent of at least 1.5 times the great dao in modern times. This person only possessed five thousand daos, but his strength infinitely neared seventy-five hundred dao rules!

A person from the future??

Where had Li Hao gotten such an existence from?!

They’d seen the person before, but the blow delivered through the air then had not been too strong. Now that he walked out of the future, he was frighteningly strong!

......

Having been thrown back, Su Yu wore an ugly expression on his face. It’d taken only one blow to defeat him!

Damn it! Is this era that dangerous?? I’m badly injured on my first foray! This is too much! Is there a need for this?! Do you guys have to be this way??

“It’s all ninth ranks in this era, a huge bunch of them. And this is only eighth rank strength... It’s already proving too much for me!” The young emperor was immensely resigned by the circumstances.

I’ve already reached the ultimate extreme of the chaos and possess forty-nine dao rules. This should’ve been the level of strength that the master of time was at when he created the chaos. Maybe he was a tiny bit stronger.

So this means... I’m nothing in this chaos??

No wonder Firmament says that there were powerhouses everywhere back in the day! That really was the case! I’ve learned something new today!

Su Yu regained his spirits. Hmm, I think I can wear away at this thing!

“Civilization!”

Countless supernatural characters appeared and transformed into great dao, trapping the thunder and lightning. There were supernatural characters to suppress, wear away, extract...

The strength behind the thunder tribulations dwindled somewhat!

More tribulation energy was extracted from Thunder Region. Clearly, the tribulations felt that they couldn’t suppress their foe and needed more strength.

Li Hao was fully part of the past now. Skyward was revitalizing!

He materialized without a word and struck with his sword, killing dozens of cultivators!

BOOM!

The river of time swung madly!

Exalted emperors exchanging blows with the Human King and others abruptly spat blood. Shock dawned in their eyes as something new appeared in their memories. A sword mark appeared on many bodies. Blood streamed out of their wounds!

“Li Hao!” screamed many powerhouses. He was killing them in the past, which was being reflected in the present!

......

Thunder Region.

“Li Hao!!” yelled the heavyweights in Thunder Region. Endless energy had been extracted from the area, which sent their own strength in a free fall.

Li Hao was crazy!

Thunder Region had accumulated energy for countless eons, but he was stealing all of it. It bled out of the area at a furious pace. They would all die at this rate!

......

At the end of the chaos.

The Calamity master’s eyes shot open and he growled, “Li Hao!”

Rage sparkled within them! Damn the kid to hell!

He’s using my own dao rules against me! This is going to be the end of Thunder Region if it continues!

He didn’t care about Skyward’s survival, but he’d paid such an enormous price and even offended Skyward to send his own people back. He might suffer a great loss this time!

This can’t be allowed to happen, he must be stopped right now!

But the Calamity master wasn’t in the chaos at the moment, and he’d also established that rule back in the day. He couldn’t immediately reverse it on the spot!

“DAMN IT!” he howled. You deserve death, Li Hao!

I will have your head for this!

......

The chaos was raging! Countless powerhouses shrieked wrathfully!

Li Hao had reversed time, charged into the past, netted the future, and fished out the emperor of the future false chaos...

The past, present, and future were together as one!

The young man was utilizing time to such a maximum that the star of time began buckling. It threatened to fall apart!

The chaos tribulations balefully absorbed energy from around them and Thunder Region. They wanted to kill this group of people!

Killing the cultivator of time was a rule that the master of Calamity himself had set a million years ago. Writing it was easy, erasing it was hard. The Calamity master wasn’t even in the chaos for now, not to mention that there wasn’t enough spirit in the modern chaos. It was a far cry from what it’d been a million years ago.

That made it so that dao rules were unable to be changed at will for the moment. A ninth rank had made the rules, but they were now being furiously taken advantage of by another.

Within Thunder Region.

The Exalted Thunder Emperor screamed with fury. The dao chess and others brightened with joy and let loose with a crazed barrage.

Dao domains materialized. Thousands of poisonous spikes shot out! A divine punch of six daos manifested. Thunder and lightning raged.

Even Myriad Changes brought forth endless mirage realms over the world. Fog Mountain strummed the threads of destiny. What had been pitch black before now blossomed with light.

Li Hao had reversed the tide!

The Skyward cultivators fighting the Human King spat blood and howled with outrage.

“Li Hao!”

“Stop!”

“You owe favors to Skyward!” screamed the light envoy.

Li Hao was killing them in the past! Although they wouldn’t really die from it, injuries suffered in the past would reflect in the present. And how were the Human King and the rest easy opponents to deal with?

They promptly took advantage of the opportunity!

Off to the side, the shocked supreme smiled faintly. The New Martial supreme had always been a calm and collected person. He seemed quite different from the Human King’s berserk fervor.

But seeing that the yin and yang envoys he faced were heavily injured, the supreme laughed. A book of dao manifested and a portion of the thunder tribulations within the river were taken away!

A replica manifested, like calamity descending upon the mortal world.

The dao of calamity!

General surprise registered throughout the battlefield. So... the New Martial supreme also knew the dao of calamity?

Countless thunderbolts swept the area as the supreme smiled coldly. Killing his opponents had been a difficult task at first, but now with them injured and a chaos tribulation overhead...

It would be an affront to his allies if he didn’t make use of it.

The instructor’s rod in his hand suddenly became a long blade. The rod bore hints of teaching others, but a blade was filled with violence. He wasn’t really called Supreme Zhang. His moniker was... the Martial King!

He was the king of martial dao, New Martial’s king!

Replicas walked out of his book and became one. The supreme’s presence billowed commandingly.

The Human King’s face tightened with shock in the distance. The fuck?!

When did you steal another batch of energy? How come I don’t know about it? Where did you get it from??

The supreme wouldn’t be able to gain more replicas without energy. He’d only had one thousand of them when he first entered eighth rank. But now he had two thousand, almost double the number from before!

Not even an eighth rank world would possess sufficient energy for this purpose.

Where did you steal this from?!

“Old Zhang, where did you get that energy from??” the Human King couldn’t help but howl.

I don’t believe it! I know full well how rich New Martial is!

Where do you get an eighth rank world to perfect your dao with, and not a regular major world at that??

How come I don’t know anything?!

The supreme turned back with a mysterious smirk. Do you really think that New Martial is in your grasp?

You’re so wrong! I’m the boss of New Martial!

“He stole all of my fish...” mumbled a cat.

The Human King bristled with rage!

Now that’s too much! You steal a cat’s fish?? And the key was, Big Cat didn’t say anything! Why didn’t you tell me, idiot cat??

But you still shouldn’t have enough even after stealing the fish. Big Cat has a lot of fish, but all of them together don’t measure up to a premier eighth rank world. Ole Zhang must have other sources of income too!

The Human King didn’t have time to ask. Supreme Zhang’s presence mounted commandingly.

He’d only been initial eighth rank before and barely maintained eighth rank strength after handing over New Martial. But as the number of his replicas built, the integration of two thousand replicas brought him to nearly four thousand daos.

That placed him on par with one of the yin and yang envoys.

But at this time, the Sun God growled and looked above the river. He was a veteran exalted emperor and the first among New Martial exalted emperors to set foot into seventh rank. He’d even done so before the Human King.

The emperor from the future, paused from defending against the tribulations and suddenly looked down with wide eyes. He saw the middle-aged man looking back at him!

There was... a slight sense of familiarity. Su Yu blinked. He’d never met this man before, but it seemed that they knew each other.

Why was that?
