He was invincible from the beginning of the Heaven-Covering Era.

Beside him, one after another blurry deities appeared between heaven and earth, as if the Great Dao had descended, exuding a majestic and ancient aura.

Zhou Qing seemed to be the source of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. His entire body was blurred, as if it had transformed into infinite planes, in which billions of living beings lived.

Faintly, one can hear a sacred celestial song echoing, as countless beings sing in the void, praising a great being, praising the infinite origin, creation, and truth.

Zhou Qing struck out with his palm, and the heavens and earth seemed to collapse. Chaos automatically parted to create a path, and indistinct deities chanted heavenly incantations, adding power.

This palm strike contains too many laws; even a half-saint would feel dizzy and overwhelmed by its complex principles at a glance.

This palm strike seemed to be the beginning of the Great Dao, the origin of the laws, containing the power to create the world.

However, the young Wushi on the other side did not dodge, not only because this palm strike locked onto the heaven and earth and spacetime, making it impossible to dodge, but also because he was not without a way to break it.

As the young Wushi moved his hands, strange rays of light appeared between his palms and fingers, containing the aura of time. Under the influence of this power, Zhou Qing's palm prints seemed to slow down.

"The Light of Time!" Zhou Qing's expression was solemn and serious.

Under such power, no one can remain calm; time is definitely one of the most defying laws of the world.

Since ancient times, time has been a law that has troubled many ancient emperors. No matter how beautiful and talented you are, in the end you will become nothing but a skeleton; no matter how great you are, and how you control a vast country, in the end you will turn into a handful of dust.

Whether it's the "Previous" Secret or the "Travel" Secret, reaching the highest level of mastery inevitably involves the laws of time.

In the original timeline, after the Celestial Venerable of Freedom reached his ultimate sublimation and unleashed the Light of Time, several supreme beings from forbidden zones couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, deeply moved.

This law is not something that even the Supreme Beings can use. Even just unleashing the Light of Time surpasses the understanding of many Supreme Beings regarding the Great Dao of Time.

Although the light of time emitted by the young Wushi was only a few strands, its essence remained unchanged. It was only due to insufficient cultivation that it could not emit more light of time.

With a soft shout, the young Wushi shook his hands, and the light of time between his fingers flew out, swirling in the air and surrounding Zhou Qing's palm print.

The breath of time flowed on, and Zhou Qing's palm print slowed down. Even with the blessing of the Great Dao God, it was difficult to break through the power of time.

It's not that the Great Dao God is incapable; it's just that Zhou Qing himself hasn't performed well enough. Ultimately, his cultivation level is too low, and the power of his physique cannot be truly manifested. Otherwise, if he truly cultivated to the extreme, time would only transform into one of his Great Dao Gods, and he wouldn't be blocked like this.

But that's a story for later. Right now, Zhou Qing is facing Wu Shi, who can unleash the Light of Time, and he really can't break through it for the time being.

"This divine restriction not only unsealed my power, but also unsealed the power of the young emperor," Zhou Qing sighed.

Zhou Qing believed that under normal circumstances, Wu Shi might not be able to unleash such power, but once the divine restriction was broken, there were truly no limitations. You could unleash as much power as you had, without being forcibly suppressed.

The light of time danced, a forbidden power. Zhou Qing's palm print seemed to freeze time, imprisoning the young Wushi without moving.

The two were locked in a stalemate, as Zhou Qing continued to exert his power, trying to break through the barrier of time, while the young Wu Shi kept sending out strands of light of time, forming a dazzling divine light that swirled around the palm print.

boom!

It was as if a world had been destroyed, and all things had returned to their origin. Everything was flowing backward. The light of time rushed into the palm print, breaking off large sections of the Dao patterns belonging to Zhou Qing, and manipulating the palm print to attack Zhou Qing in reverse.

This is not only the power of the light of time. Zhou Qing could see that the young Wushi's body was emitting patches of Dao light, increasing his sense of closeness to the Dao, which would allow him to better control this palm print.

This is a very strong statement. I not only want to block your attack, but I also want to hit your attack back, making you take the hit yourself.

Perhaps this is a response to Zhou Qing's previous physical confrontation, which is also full of confidence and exudes an invincible aura.

However, Zhou Qing's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. The physical body and the shortcut are different. The physical body is a very personal attribute. No matter how much stronger my physical body is than yours, I cannot affect the strength of your physical body.

However, the shortcut is different. It is a struggle between two people for control of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. When Zhou Qing is strong, Wu Shi is weak. Similarly, when Wu Shi is strong, Zhou Qing will become weak.

Young Wushi was probably used to being domineering, and coupled with Zhou Qing's forceful physical confrontation that ended in a draw, this also stirred up a sense of urgency in him.

The mentality of forcing a fight.

This kind of heavenly tribulation is truly unique. It even has the ability to learn and change its mindset. If it weren't for the fact that its expression remained unchanged and the blood that flew out would turn into lightning and dissipate, Zhou Qing would almost have thought it was a real person.

"Eternal eons may pass, but my Dao will endure forever!" Zhou Qing roared, as if he had transformed into a vast "Dao," possessing an unparalleled power.

Under the overwhelming force of the times, everything will be crushed.

This was a magnificent wave, rolling and crushing down, causing the heavens and earth to tremble, and everything to be reduced to ashes.

He is formless and without substance, without a specific size, and without a real body; He is supreme and unattainable.

Since ancient times, people have sought enlightenment by occasionally grasping a fragment of the Dao, believing that they have comprehended a Dao and understood a principle.

Therefore, artificial divisions have emerged, such as the Three Thousand Great Daos, the Myriad Daos, and the Forty-Nine Great Daos, all defined by cultivators according to their own understanding.

Some people see the Five Elements as one great path, while others see them as five great paths. Different human-made divisions lead to different numerical classifications.

The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the name of the mother of all things.

Now, Zhou Qing's body was somewhat illusory, like "nothingness" and "existence." His will was magnificent and great, like a supreme and holy god who instantly took over the control of the Great Dao of this world without encountering the slightest obstacle.

I said, disperse!

The Daoist voice resounded, echoing between heaven and earth, containing a supreme will.

The light of time within the palm print vanished instantly, transforming into the origin of heaven and earth, returning to nothingness, and merging into the river of time.

Furthermore, the Dao light emanating from the young Wushi quickly dimmed, becoming completely invisible, and no power could be emitted; it was completely suppressed.

"I said, 'Boom!'"

In an instant, a vast and terrifying power descended directly upon the young Wushi's body, appearing almost out of thin air, like a divine sea surging within him, its power immeasurable.

puff!

Young Wushi's body broke apart piece by piece, golden blood flowing everywhere, radiating brilliant light. This method was too bizarre to stop; one could only endure it.

Strands of light of time appeared around the young Wushi, giving the impression of time flowing backward. At the same time, a golden flame burned between his shattered body.

However, this attack was far more complex than it appeared. The Light of Time, combined with a supreme healing divine spell, made the reconstruction of the physical body extremely difficult. Although it was eventually reconstructed, there were still some problems with the body, which were forcibly suppressed.

It was obvious that Wu Shi's chest was heaving violently, and his vast blood and energy were waning. Clearly, this was a severe drain on his energy.

Zhou Qing's two attacks looked effortless, but in reality, they were quite difficult for him.

He has now returned from that state. If he weren't currently in a state of divine restriction, he wouldn't be able to perform those two attacks at his current level. Even if he managed to use them, it would be a huge drain on his energy.

However, compared to the young Wushi who had consumed a great deal of his essence and blood, he only suffered some loss of divine power, but it would be difficult for him to launch such an attack again.

After a brief rest, Wu Shi once again unleashed his golden blood energy, which surged forth like a vast ocean.

At the same time, all the strange phenomena were unleashed. The bright moon rising over the sea, the golden lotus growing in the sea of ​​suffering, the stars shining in the blue sky, the beautiful mountains and rivers, the immortal king descending to the nine heavens, and the Yin-Yang life and death diagram—each of these terrifying phenomena combined to form a chaotic and monstrous phenomenon that spread outwards and could practically freeze everything.

At the same time, strands of light of time danced, and the young Wushi let go of everything, fighting wildly, unleashing all kinds of forbidden imperial techniques, merging hundreds of moves together, wanting to decide the winner in just a few moves.

Chapter 187 Time and Fate

Zhou Qing's aura has reached its peak, his whole body radiating light that blots out the sky, dazzlingly bright, and the star field in his eyes is burning.

Although Wu Shi unleashed many moves, his true trump card was the Light of Time, a truly forbidden power that even Great Emperors and Ancient Kings had to be wary of, and which was extremely difficult to break. Not to mention that this was merely a Heavenly Tribulation of Severing the Dao, how could the geniuses of this era possibly come into contact with such power?

Anyone would be shocked at this moment. It's impossible to stop it. There's a reason why Wushi could sweep across the world. The only thing to do is to try to resist this move, to survive, and then rebuild your body to fight back.

However, Zhou Qing also possessed a forbidden Dao, which most supreme beings could hardly achieve. He had no fear of the forbidden Dao of Time, which was without beginning!

"Destiny is eternal, passed down through the ages." Zhou Qing clasped his hands together, and a loud chant resounded from his mouth, shaking heaven and earth.

"The power of fate is omnipresent, affecting all realms and all things. Everything is subject to the control of fate, and time is no exception!"

"Eternal time, the ever-flowing flow of time, will all perish under the power of fate!"

"Destiny is the rule, destiny is the order, destiny is the master of all things, the ruler of the heavens, without beginning or end. In the name of destiny, I cast all who resist destiny into eternal damnation and destruction!"

Zhou Qing's earth-shattering voice resounded, each word like a thunderclap from the river of fate, exploding directly between heaven and earth.

With each word uttered, the entire world trembled, as if in fear of such power. The young Wushi's body, rushing forward, faltered with each step, making progress extremely difficult.

The light of time was fading, various strange phenomena were fading, and the moves he made were shattered one after another. This was not his intention, but they dissipated involuntarily, beyond his control.

At the same time, an unimaginably mysterious force descended from the darkness, altering fate, distorting the future, and grafting cause and effect. This was a terrifying force that could fundamentally change a person, and even resisting it was impossible to know what methods to use to resist it; it was almost unsolvable.

"puff!"

The young Wushi's body stopped, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood. An incomprehensible power descended from nowhere, causing every cell in his body to either explode or mutate. A stream of black pus flowed from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

Suddenly, an incomparably dazzling golden flame erupted from the young Wushi's body, and he seemed to transform into a sun, filled with endless light. His physical condition improved somewhat, but he was still inevitably heading towards self-destruction.

A divine chain of order suddenly appeared on his body, flashing with silver light, locking him firmly in place. The aura of time flowed within him; he was trying to return to his origin and reverse his current state.

However, even after the chains of time order were formed, his body continued to deteriorate. The situation was greatly alleviated, but after a period of time, it would eventually deteriorate to the extreme, and he would eventually perish in the world, his body heading towards eternal destruction.

For the young Wushi, the only solution was...

The solution is to kill Zhou Qing before one's physical condition deteriorates to an irreversible stage. This might offer a sliver of hope for survival; otherwise, as time goes on, it will inevitably lead to irreversible consequences.

Therefore, the young Wushi had already set his sights on Zhou Qing. An aura that could suppress heaven and earth slowly rose from his body, and his combat power was boiling at its limit. He was going to make a final stand.

"Is this the prototype of the Beginningless Technique?" When Zhou Qing saw the young Beginningless's application of the Great Dao of Time, he immediately thought of the famous Beginningless Technique, which could return everything to its origin, as if time were reversed, and had a similar effect to the Heaven-Mending Technique of the Chaotic Ancient Era.

"However, to break through my Dao of Destiny, my Dao of Time is still too immature."

Zhou Qing did not allow the young Wu Shi to suppress the deterioration of his body, but continued to chant, aiming to directly establish a victorious situation.

"The power of destiny is all-powerful; all the great principles must operate under the order of destiny. In the name of destiny, I declare time over!"

In an instant, the Time Order Divine Chain on the young Wushi broke apart, scattering into countless Dao patterns that were imprinted on the four directions of heaven and earth, forming a time field. However, before it could last even a moment, these Dao patterns shattered one by one, turning into rain of light and dissipating into the world.

As soon as the power of time disappeared, the young and primordial body instantly collapsed, blood and flesh splattered, bone fragments flew everywhere, and a lot of golden blood scattered between heaven and earth, shining brightly.

Strands of light from time danced, trying to reunite the physical body, but these strands of light encountered immense resistance. The scattered flesh trembled incessantly, yet could not be brought together.

"The Great Dao of Time is truly a terrifying Dao. Only Wushi could have such an understanding of time at such a young age," Zhou Qing exclaimed.

There are indeed some great principles in this world that can be called taboos, because they are too difficult to comprehend and too difficult to break, and time is such a force.

Although the space in this world is easy to manipulate, basically the Four Extremes Secret Realm can open a void rift, so many people have some understanding of the laws of space. For some people who are good at the way of space, it is something that can be manipulated at will and kneaded at will.

However, the corresponding law of time is a taboo among taboos. Trying to see past or future events through time will encounter great resistance. Trying to manipulate the power of time is even more difficult. If you try to control time, even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor will die tragically, and an Immortal Emperor will suffer unknown karmic backlash.

Such forbidden paths are generally impossible to achieve in one's youth. Only those who have cultivated to a high level can barely comprehend them, and even then, it is very difficult to comprehend anything.

Even if a person cultivates both Yin and Yang in their youth, it is difficult to fuse the laws of chaos. At most, they can fuse a vague Yin-Yang fish. Only those with a unique physique of chaotic nature, who are naturally close to the Great Dao of Chaos, can use the power of the laws of chaos in the early stages.

If Zhou Qing didn't possess the Gate of Destiny, he couldn't have comprehended the Great Dao of Destiny to such a degree. Compared to the young Wu Shi's understanding of time, Zhou Qing's understanding of destiny has progressed far beyond that.

It is possible to suppress the young Wushi to such an extent.

However, Emperor Wushi's physique is not a time-related physique, so how was he able to embark on the Great Dao of Wushi, which is related to time? Zhou Qing could easily figure it out with a little thought that it must be related to the Immortal King Wuzhong during the Chaotic Ancient Era.

The Chaotic Body comprehended the Great Dao of Chaos through its physical constitution; Wushi comprehended the Great Dao of Time through unknown causes and effects; the Azure Emperor comprehended the Great Dao of Eternity through his physical constitution; and Zhou Qing comprehended the Great Dao of Destiny through the Gate of Destiny. To comprehend a forbidden Great Dao in the early stages of cultivation, one must have an opportunity beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Young Wushi's mastery of the Great Dao of Time at this stage was truly too strong, capable of unleashing the Light of Time, which surpassed far too many people. However, Zhou Qing's understanding of destiny was even more extraordinary, forcibly suppressing Young Wushi's laws of time.

There's nothing we can do about it. Although the opportunity of becoming the Immortal King of No End is incredibly heaven-defying, the Gate of Destiny is even more heaven-defying. Although Zhou Qing can't determine its specific rank, its infinitely lofty characteristics, its unique characteristics across all realms, and its magnificent epic feel are definitely beyond what an Immortal King artifact can compare to.
