Cataclysm King

Chapter 628: The Clown Returns
Old Man Xu appeared at the door of the house.

In fact, if we talk about who has the highest rank in the card master plane today, almost everyone agrees that it is the upper dragon god Malodius.

But if we really have to say who has the most mysterious and unsolvable method, Ji Xun would definitely think it is Old Man Xu from the [Plum Blossom 10-Hermit] sequence.

Almost no one has ever seen him take action.

But the fact is, Lanlingster mentioned the old man's strength in his last words left on the Forbidden Ruins Stele.

This guy is one of the founders of the Priory of the Illuminati, a group of guys who secretly change the course of history.

You know, the direction of civilization is actually the law of the operation of the universe.

Almost all the ascension ceremonies of card masters follow this historical trend.

Just like in order to condense the [Godhood of War], one needs to glimpse the mystery of the laws of war in a war that is powerful enough to change the direction of civilization.

But Old Man Xu can change the course of history.

This is a violation of the rules of the universe.

This kind of cause and effect is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Its strength is evident.

Ji Xun felt that Old Man Xu’s current strength was even greater than that of the Dragon God Maraudis.

At this moment, the old man with gaping front teeth was standing on the street, his old eyes looking at the young man with golden patterns in front of him without any ripples.

The young man with golden patterns looked at Old Man Xu who suddenly appeared with a slightly solemn expression.

But he didn't seem surprised at all, and his expression seemed to be mocking: Are you not hiding anymore?!

He certainly knew that he had used the Book of Dimensionality Reduction too frequently and had exposed his tracks.

but,

Since the other party came to find Him,
He may not have been waiting for the deepest threat hidden in this card master's plane.

Looking at the divine domain of time lingering around Old Man Xu's body, the young man with golden patterns was not careless at all. The moment he realized he was exposed, his figure collapsed on the spot.

It turned out that he used an extremely advanced spatial shifting ability to escape.

This is a race of superior gods who have been proficient in the "higher laws of space" since their birth.

The fifty-two mysterious magic techniques of the Kashi civilization, "Attracting the Fall of the Gods", are actually magic techniques created based on the blood talents of the Titans.

The moment the young man with golden patterns disappeared, violent spatial fluctuations erupted with a delay.

In an instant, the entire house was destroyed by the spreading space ripples and turned into dust in an instant.

Old man Xu stood still, not affected at all.

He watched the target in front of him disappear without any sign of anxiety.

A sense of vicissitudes emerged in those turbid eyes, as if hiding the mystery of time.

If there is any means that can restrain the laws of space, then it is only the law of time.

The old man Xu's whole body was filled with divine power, and he shouted in a low voice: "Unlock the Thirteen Steles!"

The shadows of thirteen forbidden stone tablets appeared behind him, the seal was released, and countless memories flooded into his sea of ​​consciousness.

After lying dormant for hundreds of thousands of years, on this day, countless selves walked out from the long river of time.

In an instant, it was as if a terrifying will descended upon that old body, and an indescribable divine power burst out from this plain-looking old man.

Lower God, Middle God, Upper God
Almost instantly, the terrifying aura of a superior god reappeared in the shattered royal capital of Acheron.

And unlike the previous dead dragon Malodius and the two orc higher gods, this newly appeared aura has a sense of mystery that hits you in the face.

Old man Xu flipped a black card in his hand and cast a spell instantly: "Divine Spell: Time Reversal!"

In the blink of an eye, a magical scene took place.

The scene around was like a movie played in reverse. The powder that had spread across the sky from the explosion quickly gathered and turned back into bricks and stones. In the blink of an eye, the small building reappeared in its original position intact.

Not only Xiaolou, but even the escaped young man with golden patterns also appeared in front of him.

And not just once.

Time and space collided several times at that moment, and the boy's entire body flickered.

After all, he is a true God. Soon he seemed to notice the strange flow of time and his expression changed.

He realized that he could not escape by teleporting, and even though he had escaped many times in a certain timeline, he was always brought back.

At this moment, his face turned grim and he picked up the ancient notebook in his hand again.

[The Artifact of Creation·Book of Dimensionality Reduction] is indeed very powerful, and even Old Man Xu cannot resist the rules of dimensionality reduction.

If he didn't know the function of this artifact, he would indeed be fooled.

It's a pity that Ji Xun has now discovered it, so Old Man Xu will certainly not give the enemy the opportunity to use this artifact.

Seeing the young man with golden patterns come up with an idea, the black card in Old Man Xu's hand glowed with divine light again, and the spell was instantly cast: "Divine Spell: Time Prison."

At that moment, the young man with golden patterns was trapped in time, standing there in a daze.

The surroundings are a time cage that cannot be escaped no matter what.

Previously, Ji Xun had not wanted to let this "firewood gatherer" who continued the civilization's flame participate in this battle, thinking that at least after he was defeated, there would still be someone who could continue the civilization of the card master.

But later, after he comprehended the "world" from the reduced-dimensional world, he realized that the torch of civilization might not live until the next era.

The resurrection of the Titan God Baal is inevitable.

Although Old Man Xu used his forgotten memories to evade surveillance, those "plane monitors" of the Titans did not seem to find his existence.

But it doesn't mean that no clues were found.

After Ji Xun comprehended the "world", he discovered that everything that existed in the universe would inevitably leave traces.

No matter how hidden it is.

"The World" allows people to glimpse all the causes and effects in the low-dimensional universe.

It's like reading a mystery novel.

If you read it a few more times, you will eventually be able to see some foreshadowing laid out in the previous text.

Old man Xu has been hiding all this time, so it is indeed difficult to find him.

But the traces left by the intervention in history cannot be erased.

From the establishment of the Talen Empire to its collapse, over the past tens of thousands of years, he has taken action many times to ensure the continuation of civilization.

Even Ji Xun used the ability of "World" to deduce from those traces that a mysterious force interfered with the continuation of the Card Master civilization.

The Kronos Titans are a race of high-level gods, so of course there is more than one true god.

There are even higher beings that Ji Xun cannot understand.

Must have noticed it.

The reason why they didn't try to find Old Man Xu was probably because they felt that the prey trapped in the trap posed no threat; also, the Titan god Baal needed more "mediums".

Only a strong human civilization can accelerate its recovery.

What Old Man Xu did was to make civilization stronger and stronger.

The result is a situation that both parties agree to.

The Kashi civilization rises again.

After several epochs of dormancy, Baal has accumulated enough power to revive.

Therefore, in Ji Xun's deduction, the revival of the true God is a foregone conclusion.

If he fails this time, the Card Master's plane will surely collapse, and he won't be able to wait until the next [JOKER] grows up.

Moreover, in this decisive battle for the survival of the entire Card Master plane, Ji Xun also needs a helper who is powerful enough to elicit the enemy's last resort.

Only Old Man Xu can play this role.

When Old Man Xu took action, the entire royal capital, Acheron City, was covered in an invisible divine domain.

That divine domain was very special. It completely ignored the exclusion of other divine domains, embraced everything and could not be stopped. It soon enveloped the entire city.

Like a dreamlike rainbow bubble, everything became unreal.

Ordinary people cannot see the special features of Old Man Xu’s divine domain, but the twelve god-level orcs of the cosmic wanderers can see it clearly.

"How come another High God has appeared? How can such a powerful High God appear in a plane with such broken laws?"

"Oh no, Boss, that seems to be the 'Divine Realm of Time'!"

"Damn it, why is there so much weirdness in this dimension? Stay away and don't touch that divine realm."

"."

The orcs sensed the invasion of the Time Realm and were so frightened that they didn't care about anything else and quickly retreated.

The law of time is one of the supreme laws of the universe. It restrains almost all means and cannot be restrained by anything.

The series of incidents made these space wanderers realize the difficulty of this commission.

On the other hand, everyone in the New Tarun Empire was also confused by the ups and downs before their eyes.

At first, they were shocked by the dead dragon Marodis and the fallen angels. Later, the two top fighters disappeared, and the pressure surged. Before the group of foreign gods could wreak havoc, the high priest Nan Jing stood up again, stabilized the situation with infinite spiritual communication, and then disappeared again. Until now, it seems that a mysterious strong man has appeared to control the situation, and the orcs retreated instantly.
Three broken angel armors, two scarred lower-level dragon gods, and a group of New Tarun's masters finally had a chance to catch their breath under the coverage of the rainbow divine domain.

However, others did not know what was going on, but the top leaders of the Talen Empire knew something.

"Did Senior Xu take action?"

At this moment, in the ruins of the imperial palace, Chujiu looked at the rainbow in the sky with a solemn expression on his face.

She is one of the few senior executives who knows the mysterious origins of Old Man Xu.

In order to avoid detection by certain mysterious powers, there was no plan that could be spoken out loud for this decisive battle, and everything depended on tacit understanding.

Before, Chujiu watched Ji Xun die on the altar and Nan Jing was sealed. Although she was also extremely shocked, she knew that things were far from the most difficult time.

Because she knew this was Ji Xun's plan.

However, now seeing the emergence of the Time Realm, she realized that the situation had become very bad.

Being able to force Old Man Xu to take action means that the Kashi civilization has reached its final crisis moment.

The tacit understanding as the closest partners made Chujiu suddenly think of the things he had talked about with Ji Xun before.

Although she didn't know what Ji Xun was going to do, the tacit understanding made her realize that it was time for her to take action.

When Old Man Xu takes action, someone will hold back those foreign god-level warriors. This is the best time to take action.

Thinking of this, Chujiu took out the [4 of Clubs] Curse Card that Ji Xun had given her before.

Before, I couldn’t see what was on this Curse God Card that had the spell sealed again.

She wasn't curious enough to delve deeper.

Now that it was taken out, a pattern of a black coffin appeared on it.

The divine pattern engraved on the card points to a divine-level "psychic magic".

When Chujiu saw this, a thought flashed through her mind, and she seemed to hear Ji Xun saying something in her ear.

Without any hesitation, the shadow of the demon god appeared behind him, and the lingering power of the [Sismak Holy Grail] overflowed wildly.

The next second, the Snow Queen arrived.

Chujiu guided the surging divine power to activate the spell on the card.

At the same time, a nine-pointed star spiritual formation lit up under her feet.

The outline of a coffin as black as ink slowly emerged from the nine-pointed star formation.

at the same time,

Qin Rushi, Katrina, and Xie Guozhong, who were not far away, saw Chujiu's action and immediately understood something. Because Ji Xun also gave each of them a Curse God Card!

The three of them took out the Curse Cards in perfect harmony and infused their divine power into them together.

Qin Rushi had previously relied on wars and rituals to assassinate the Pope, and now he has been promoted to [Diamond K-Regicide]; Catalina has hundreds of millions of Silver Moon believers in the Eastern Wilderness, and after the canonization, the fate of [Club Q-Moon Queen] has long been stable; the law is to weave order out of chaos, and during the twenty years since Xie Guozhong was canonized as the Grand Justice of the Empire, he found order in chaos and has successfully been promoted to [Club K-Pope].

The four of them were all on an extraordinary path blessed by the empire's fortune.

Today's New Tarun Empire is so powerful that they have already ignited the divine fire and are qualified to condense the godhood.

However, because they knew that once they condensed the godhood they would be noticed by the "Plane Monitor", they had been suppressing their realm over the years.

Therefore, they were ignored by certain "supervisors" from the beginning of the battle.

And this neglect is an opportunity.

At this moment, the four of them no longer suppressed themselves, and the cursed power turned into divine power, overflowing.

[Sismak Holy Grail], [Sword of Olympus], [Crown of Thorns], [Orb of Thrones].
The four royal artifacts sparkled brightly in the hands of four card masters who also possessed royal destinies, and divine power surged out crazily.

"Spiritual Communication: The Coffin of the God of Creation!"

Under the feet of the four people, four huge black iron coffins slowly emerged.

This is the first time that the four coffins of the God of Creation have descended on the same scene since the Great Collapse Era.

Four coffins fully emerged from the spiritual formation, and four pillars of light reached the sky, like four pillars supporting the world.

Time, space, flesh and blood, soul.
As soon as the coffin came out, it seemed to resonate with the whole world.

Do not!
It's as if they are one world.

Everything around became blurred, and reality was being reconstructed by some mysterious force from a higher dimension.

The feeling is familiar yet strange, like the omnipresent laws of the universe, a high-dimensional mystery that can be seen but not fully understood.

The whistling wind is like the whisper of ancient times, the trembling earth seems to show its awe for the coffin, the dimming sunlight shows the interweaving of death and life, and the mist is the mysterious veil covering the ultimate mystery.
These four coffins seem to have once buried an ancient god.

It is mysterious, ancient and full of endless mysteries.

The black air on the coffin does not simply indicate the breath of death, but contains the supreme law of the universe that contains the cycle of life. Every time a mysterious divine pattern lights up, it is a distant echo of the past and the future; every time the black coffin vibrates, it redefines the boundary between life and death.

It was like a funeral for a god.

It's like a mysterious reincarnation ceremony.

Chujiu, Qin Rushi, Catalina, and Xie Guozhong looked at the coffin that appeared in front of them. As coffin bearers, they vaguely sensed something.

Just as Old Man Xu had predicted for Ji Xun, the end he could see was a grand ceremony - "Poker Game: Four Kings Carrying the Coffin".

This is the promotion ceremony for the JOKER sequence.

With the appearance of four coffins, the origin of the plane continuously gathered on the altar.

The twelve orc gods had already retreated far away because they were afraid of Old Man Xu's time domain.

Although they sensed that the origin of the planes was converging at an abnormal speed and guessed that something major was going to happen, no one dared to rush into that strange time realm.

Can't go either.

Because it was tried just now, even the orc leader of the upper god was rapidly eroded by time in the time field and aged rapidly.

These space wanderers came here for the high commissions, not to die.

Faced with an unbreakable divine domain, they chose to retreat.

However, there is another side.

In the royal capital of Acheron.

The standoff continues in front of the inconspicuous residential building in Dongcheng.

The battles between high-level gods are either world-destroying or involve scenes that are simply beyond human cognition.

And now it is the latter.

The pupils of the young man with golden patterns had turned from metal to a dazzling golden color like the sun, and the divine patterns on his skin also lit up with a golden glow.

In the collision between the laws of time and space, the houses around the small building were broken and restored, restored and broken again.
Old man Xu, whose face was pale, had already unlocked the memory of the last seal: "Fifty-three seals, unlock!"

I have lived too long and forgotten too much of the past.

At this moment, Old Man Xu finally found his complete self again from time.

It turns out that the years I have lived are longer than I can remember.

He is one of the first gods born in the Card Master plane.

It was also the Great Collapse Era, and he was one of the rebels who fought against the coming of the Titans together with King JOKER.

He is also the only god who has not truly died among the fifty-two demons pointed to by the demon mark of the card master sequence.

Because of the protection of the [Coffin of the God of Creation], he has been able to survive in the shadows until now.

But the old friends are no longer here.

Looking at the young man with golden patterns in front of him, a sigh appeared on Old Man Xu's face.

Counting it all, this is the second time I have fought against this Titan God.

The battle scene that led to the destruction of the world in the Great Collapse Era now appeared before his eyes like a slide show.

Even after countless years, he still felt the despair he once felt.

The true God cannot be killed.

This is still the case.

When Old Man Xu thought of this, he looked at the four black pillars that appeared in the sky again, and a hint of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I seemed to hear the last words that old friend who also wore a clown mask said to me: "Old friend, I leave the rest of my life to you."

Now, he seemed to see a little fire light up in the ashes of the burnt-out campfire.

The little flame of hope lit up under the protection of my old friend.

Old Man Xu was wandering in time. At this moment, the young man with golden tattoos across from him seemed to have finally recognized the identity of the old man in front of him. He said in surprise and coldly, "It's you!"

At this moment the boy seemed to understand something.

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he no longer hesitated.

He didn't care about trying to preserve the divine power that he had accumulated with great difficulty for revival, nor did he care about the origin of the plane that he had not yet swallowed.
Because He suddenly realized a familiar sense of crisis.

Suddenly, a breath of destruction emanated from the young man with golden patterns.

Although he is not tall, his aura is like that of an ancient giant buried deep underground awakening.

It flipped over and in an instant the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

The entire earth began to shake violently. The sound of rocks cracking was like the roar of an ancient beast awakening, and also the wail of the earth.

Almost in the blink of an eye, that terrifying energy had reached a point that even the Divine Realm of Time could not control.

Invisibly to the naked eye, the original divine power condensed into a giant hand that covered half of the city. It violently broke the invisible chains created by the Divine Realm of Time, and then slammed down on the ground.

Like a scorching sun, falling from the sky to the ground.

Old man Xu's expression changed drastically. The familiar scene made him feel as if he was seeing the scene of the world's collapse.

Without any hesitation, he gathered his divine domain and instantly completed the spell: "Divine Spell: River of Time."

Time can return everything to its original state, including divine power!

It was like an invisible net wrapped around the fist in the sky. It seemed as if countless years had passed in the sky. The "sun" in the sky went out and lit up again, then went out again and lit up again.
After a moment of stalemate, the power of time was finally exhausted.

The scorching "sun" suddenly slammed down towards the ground.

That guy used his original divine power!
Old Man Xu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of golden blood. Realizing something, he mobilized all his divine power at the same time.

This time he could still continue to escape through time, but he knew that if he retreated now, he would have no chance!
"Oh!"

The entire earth was cracked by this palm.

If someone goes to explore, they may even find that this crack almost splits the entire southern continent into two.

The terrifying pressure from the True God also left the people of the New Tarun Empire on the altar in the center of the city with no room to resist.

I originally thought they were all dead.

But then he saw an old figure appear on the altar.

At the same time, the black light from the four coffins poured into him.

Chujiu, Catalina, Qin Rushi, Xie Guozhong and others looked at Old Man Xu's back, and their expressions instantly became solemn.

However, before they could say anything, Old Man Xu looked at the giant hand in the sky, faced it fearlessly, and grinned miserably.

There was a hint of ruthlessness and determination in his eyes.

At the same time, cracks appeared everywhere on the old skin, and the divine power leaked out uncontrollably, emitting a terrifying light that represented destruction.

All signs indicate that a superior god has detonated his own divine power, intending to die together with his enemies.

Seeing this scene, the giant hand in the sky seemed to sense the crisis.

But now the situation is clear.

Although it would not cause the death of a true god, the self-destruction of a super-powerful upper-level god would foreseeably cause the plane, which was already full of cracks, to collapse again, and the origin of the plane would also dissipate and disappear.

Now that I have used the original divine power, I don't mind using more.

So before the beam of destruction from the self-explosion of Old Man Xu bloomed, a passage automatically appeared on the [Book of Dimensionality Reduction]: "In the Seven Gods' World, the explosion in the universe caused the stars to fall to the earth, the destructive energy impact, and a world-destroying crisis is about to come."

The Titan god Baal used his own creation artifact to divert Old Man Xu's self-destruction.

The damaged artifacts can be repaired. The Kronos Titans are good at forging. Although the loss is huge, it is not unacceptable.
But if his own origin is damaged, it would take who knows how many epochs it would take for him, who has already been seriously injured, to revive.

On the altar.

Old man Xu, who was about to self-destruct, disappeared.

Chujiu and the others were stunned, and a feeling of total despair popped up in their minds: Failure?
The giant hand in the sky felt the same way.

The terrifying aura gathered again, as if it was about to wipe out all the humans in front of it.

Waiting for the next era, the humans in this plane will grow like weeds and will be able to revive themselves.

However, unexpectedly, at this time, something happened that no one expected.

Old man Xu disappeared.

People strangely discovered that his shadow was still there where he had just stood.

Just when the big hand in the sky was about to fall again, the shadow suddenly stood up and turned into an old man with gaping front teeth.

Although his face was a little pale, it was obvious that he was the real Old Man Xu.

Seeing this scene, Chujiu and the others who were closest to him glared again.

The question immediately arises: Since the person in front of us is Old Man Xu, then who was the one who just disappeared?

There was no time to figure out what was going on.

But the Titan God Baal understood!
Because at this moment, the plot in His [Book of Dimensionality] began to be written uncontrollably again: "A meteor fell from the sky, accompanied by colorful auspicious clouds. The brilliant light and shadow illuminated the entire world as if it was the most grand stage ceremony. Under the attention of the whole world, a grinning clown ascended to the world of the Seven Gods."

Titanbal looked at the words on the artifact and was so shocked that the surrounding space began to tremble.

Since He obtained this artifact of creation, there have only been two times when the plot got out of control.

Except this time.

Just last time!

That guy from last time!
