138: God Emperor of Time and Space, Peerless Immortal Emperor

In the endless Void Realm, two figures stood facing each other, surrounded by Supreme Heavenly Mandates as brilliant as a galaxy.

Time-Space God Emperor's long hair fluttered, his eyes reflecting the Reincarnation of life and death across countless worlds. He slowly raised his right hand, condensing a crystal-clear Time-Space Crystal at his fingertips.

"Time-Space Imprisonment."

As the incantation fell, the entire Void Realm suddenly rippled like water.

Countless transparent Time Chains emerged from the Void Realm, each inscribed with ancient time-space runes.

The stardust beneath Peerless Immortal Emperor's feet began to solidify at a visible rate, even the drifting cosmic dust freezing into brilliant points of light.

"A mere trick." Peerless Immortal Emperor stepped on a twelve-grade golden lotus, its petals blooming layer by layer, each manifesting golden scriptures.

The Golden Wheel of Merit rotated slowly behind his head, the falling golden light actually scorching the Time Chains with charred marks. He pressed his palms together and suddenly shouted, "Break!"

Billions of feet of radiant light burst from the center of the golden lotus, forcibly tearing a twisted passage through the frozen time-space.

Broken time-space fragments scattered like colored glass, tracing magnificent paths through the Void Realm.

Time-Space God Emperor's pupils constricted slightly; he saw countless images of the past and future reflected in those fragments.

"Time-Space Overlap."

The Eleven Supreme Heavenly Fates suddenly turned into flowing light, weaving into a massive phantom of a clock behind Time-Space God Emperor.

The moment the clock hand reversed, the scattered time-space fragments flew back, re-condensing into a time-space cage that blotted out the sky.

Peerless Immortal Emperor suddenly found his movements slowing down, even his thoughts beginning to stagnate.

"What a fine Time Reversal." Peerless Immortal Emperor was secretly alarmed, and the mark of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown suddenly lit up on his forehead.

The Golden Wheel of Merit expanded violently, the Twelve-Grade Lotus Pedestal emitted clear Sanskrit chants, and countless golden Swastikas gushed out from the lotus's heart.

These Buddhist mantras collided fiercely with the time-space Laws, exploding into countless brilliant balls of light in the Void Realm.

Both retreated ten million miles simultaneously, confronting each other across the Void Realm.

Peerless Immortal Emperor was surrounded by eleven Supreme Heavenly Mandates, each emitting a pressure no less than that of Time-Space God Emperor.

He pressed his palms together, and a Golden Dharma Body billions of feet tall appeared behind him, holding a demon-subduing pestle with eyes like torches.

The Golden Dharma Body brandished the demon-subduing pestle, causing the entire Void Realm to tremble.

Time-Space God Emperor did not dare to be careless, drawing a perfect circle in front of his chest with both hands, where time-space Laws circulated.

"Mirror of Eternity." The mirror reflected scenes from countless parallel time-spaces, each containing a Time-Space God Emperor performing a different Divine Ability.

"Rumble—" The moment the demon-subduing pestle collided with the Mirror of Eternity, the resulting energy fluctuation swept through the entire Void Realm.

Nearby stars exploded under this power, turning into magnificent nebulae. The Void Realm beneath their feet began to collapse, revealing a deeper layer of Chaos space.

A trace of golden blood leaked from the corner of Peerless Immortal Emperor's mouth, but the Battle Intent in his eyes grew even more intense.

His hands quickly formed seals, and the Twelve-Grade Lotus Pedestal decomposed into twelve petals, each transforming into an Innate Supreme Treasure surrounding his body.

"Lotus Flower Destroys the World."

A flash of solemnity appeared in Time-Space God Emperor's eyes as the Eleven Supreme Heavenly Fates wove into a massive time-space net above his head.

"Time-Space Return to Ruins." Wherever the net covered, even the Laws began to disintegrate.

The two world-destroying forces collided once more, and countless pitch-black cracks appeared in the Void Realm, as if the entire world was about to fall apart under this blow.

Time-Space God Emperor stepped on the River of Time, each step landing on a different point in time.

His left hand guided the past and his right hand manipulated the future, causing terrifying time faults to appear throughout the Void Realm.

Peerless Immortal Emperor's robes suddenly ignited without wind—that was the Karmic Fire from the future; while his hair tips froze—that was the Cold Poison from the past.

"Time-Space Chaos."

Peerless Immortal Emperor suddenly let out a long roar, the Eleven Supreme Heavenly Fates transforming into golden Dragons coiling around his body. He formed the Acala Seal with his hands, and the golden lotus suddenly shrank to the size of a mustard seed, then instantly expanded like a star.

Extreme spatial expansion triggered a terrifying energy storm, crushing all the twisted timelines.

The Void Realm between them began to cave in, forming a black hole that swallowed everything.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate." Peerless Immortal Emperor suddenly sacrificed his Lifebound Treasure—the Peerless Immortal Bottle.

Within the Chaos Qi pouring from the bottle's mouth, scenes of the creation of heaven and earth were faintly visible.

Time-Space God Emperor hurriedly summoned the Time-Space Mirror for defense.

"Break!"

As Peerless Immortal Emperor pointed a finger, the Chaos Qi transformed into a giant world-opening axe and struck down.

The time barriers around Time-Space God Emperor shattered layer by layer. He coughed up blood but suddenly revealed a mysterious smile. The Eleven Supreme Heavenly Fates suddenly fused, condensing into a Time Hourglass in his palm.

"Eternal Banishment."

The moment the hourglass flipped, the space where Peerless Immortal Emperor stood was sliced into countless time fragments.

Each fragment became an independent world, scattering the traces of his existence across eternal time and space.

The golden lotus began to wither, and the light of the Golden Wheel of Merit gradually dimmed.

At the critical moment, Peerless Immortal Emperor suddenly bit the tip of his tongue and spat out his Lifebound Essence Blood. A phantom of the Grandmist's first division appeared in the blood mist, forcibly re-bonding all the time slices.

He grasped the nearly dissipating golden lotus, transforming it into a Wisdom Sword that could sever Karma.

"Severing Time-Space."

Wherever the sword light passed, the River of Time was cut off.

Time-Space God Emperor realized with alarm that his connection with the Supreme Heavenly Mandates was disappearing, and his methods of controlling time and space suddenly failed.

Both retreated a hundred million miles simultaneously, with broken traces of the Great Dao remaining in the Void Realm.

Time-Space God Emperor waved his hand, and the Time-Space Great Dao manifested, turning into chains that filled the sky and coiled toward his opponent.

Those chains were inscribed with ancient time-space runes, and wherever they passed, even the Void Realm was distorted and deformed.

The Golden Wheel of Merit rotated slowly behind Peerless Immortal Emperor's head, shedding thousands of rays of light.

He stepped on the lotus pedestal, leaving golden ripples in the Void Realm with every step.

Facing the incoming Time Chains, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and a Sword Qi that traversed heaven and earth slashed out, cutting all the chains.

Time-Space God Emperor traced profound paths with his hands. In an instant, the Sword Qi Peerless Immortal Emperor had slashed out actually swirled back, and even the lotus pedestal beneath his feet began to rotate counter-clockwise, as if to bring him back to his state before the attack.

The light in Peerless Immortal Emperor's eyes surged as the golden wheel behind his head suddenly accelerated: "Inviolable by All Laws."

The golden light transformed into a physical barrier, isolating the reversal force. He pressed his palms together and chanted ancient incantations. Three thousand golden lotuses suddenly appeared in the Void Realm, each containing the mighty power of creation.

Seeing this, Time-Space God Emperor reached out and actually drew a transparent longsword from the River of Time.

The sword blade flowed with light and shadows of the past and future, and every swing brought about time-space turbulence.

The two exchanged blows millions of times in an instant. The aftershocks from the collision of sword light and golden lotuses annihilated all stars within a hundred million miles.

"Time-Space Annihilation." Time-Space God Emperor suddenly changed his move, the longsword turning into a beam of light aimed directly at Peerless Immortal Emperor's forehead. This strike contained the terrifying power to erase the opponent from all timelines.

Peerless Immortal Emperor did not dodge. A golden Dao pattern suddenly appeared on his forehead: "Eternal Indestructibility." In the light blooming from the golden pattern, projections of countless parallel worlds were faintly visible. The Time-Space Sword pierced into the light, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to advance another inch.

Both retreated a hundred million miles simultaneously, and the Void Realm began to collapse, unable to withstand their power.

Time-Space God Emperor's long hair danced wildly as he formed a hand seal: "Let it end, Time-Space Return to Ruins."

The entire Void Realm began to collapse inward, intending to bury him and his opponent together.

Peerless Immortal Emperor let out a long roar, and the Twelve-Grade Lotus Pedestal suddenly disassembled, turning into twelve golden lights that circled his body: "Lotus Blooms in Myriad Worlds."

Wherever the golden light passed, the collapsing Void Realm was forcibly stilled, and then shattered into pieces like a mirror.

When the last fragment of the Void Realm dissipated, the two figures still stood tall in the nothingness.

In this battle, neither had been able to defeat the other.

Time-Space God Emperor gave his opponent a deep look, and his figure gradually faded into the River of Time.
