High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

"Run! Run! Run!"

Without a moment's hesitation, and without even uttering a harsh word, all the pride and ruthlessness in the Black-Clad Immortal King's heart shattered completely at this moment.

He gritted his teeth and even burned his own immortal king essence and origin, transforming into a blinding black light that tore through the void behind him as he frantically fled into the depths of the Time Realm!

Fast! It was incredibly fast!

The black-clad immortal king wished his parents had given him two fewer legs. At this moment, he unleashed the fastest escape speed he had ever achieved, causing the space behind him to collapse and crumble continuously!

Seeing the Black-Clad Immortal King, who had been so arrogant just moments before, now running away like a stray dog, the future version of himself in the sky smiled faintly.

He shook his head slightly, a relaxed, almost theatrical expression on his handsome face, and smiled leisurely.

"Now you're thinking about running away? Do you think... you can even escape?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Future Body grasped both ends of the scroll with both hands and gently pulled it to the sides with light and skillful movements.

"Splash—"

With a crisp, unfurling sound, the golden scroll woven from rare ancient immortal plants slowly unfolded in the high sky of the Time Realm.

Lin Hanzhou, standing in the distance, held his breath, staring intently at the unfurling scroll, his heart filled with curiosity and awe.

What kind of amazing masterpiece was painted on the scroll that could terrify a Celestial King?

Is it an ancient, world-destroying formation? Or a lifelike image of an immortal emperor?

However, when the scroll was fully unrolled, the scene that unfolded between heaven and earth took everyone, including his future self, somewhat by surprise.

On that golden scroll, which was over ten feet long, there was no magnificent landscape of myriad spirits, no mysterious and complex killing formations, and no awe-inspiring celestial emperor's image.

The entire vast painting is filled with large, unreserved blank spaces.

Only in the very center of the scroll, in extremely thick and rich gold ink, is written a single character, flowing and elegant yet carrying an endless sense of killing intent.

"Destroy!"

Apart from this enormous, perfectly formed character “灭” (destroy), the entire huge scroll is empty and clean, without even the slightest trace of ink!

The scroll unfolds, and the world stands still.

High in the sky, the future version of himself looked down at the "scroll" in his hand that had nothing but a single word, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably a few times.

Although this wasn't the first time he had come across the handwriting of the Immortal Emperor Mo Yuan, upon seeing this so-called "Immortal Emperor's Scroll," his future self couldn't help but mentally rant and rave.

"Wow... I'm absolutely blown away!"

The future self's lips twitched, and the strange emotions in his heart were simply indescribable.

"This is such a large, top-tier painting meticulously crafted using ancient imperial plants, and you left 99% of it blank, then just scribbled the character 'Extinction' wildly in the very center?"

"You call this painting? Are you even skilled at it? Did you use all your painting skills to practice calligraphy?!"

At this moment, the future self even had a deep doubt: how exactly did the Mo Yuan Immortal Emperor, who was renowned in the Eternal Immortal Realm and revered as the supreme master of painting, prove his Dao through "painting" back then?

The same was true of the several scrolls of paintings by the Immortal Emperor Mo Yuan that he had obtained before; they were basically not related to the Dao of Painting, and most of them contained only one or a few words.

If I hadn't witnessed the terrifying strength of that scholar in blue robes firsthand, my future self would have seriously doubted whether he had bought his title of "Painting Emperor"!

However, complaints aside.

Although the painting only has the word "destroy" written on it in a very perfunctory manner, the power condensed on it is the genuine supreme immortal emperor law!

Just half a second after the painting was fully unfurled.

"Buzz—!"

With a clear, resounding sound, the golden character "灭" (extinction) written in the center of the scroll suddenly seemed to possess an independent life and soul, slowly floating up from the golden paper!

"Boom!"

As the character "灭" (annihilate) left the scroll, an indescribable, terrifying imperial might suddenly exploded!

The golden character "灭" (extinguish) suddenly magnified in mid-air, transforming into an eternal stream of light stretching across the sky.

Every stroke of the characters carries the laws of the Immortal Emperor, powerful enough to crush all the heavens and myriad worlds, and carries an ultimate domineering power that surpasses all living beings and erases all existence in the world!

"go."

The future self flicked a finger lightly.

"stop--!"

The golden light formed from the character "灭" (extinguish) instantly tore through the horizontal line of the realm of time!

Its speed has completely surpassed light, space, and even the definition of time itself!

Tens of thousands of miles away, the black-clad immortal king was frantically burning his life force to escape, and in an instant he had already covered hundreds of millions of miles.

Before he could even turn around to check the situation, a terrifying sense of crisis, so deadly that it seemed to freeze his very soul, descended upon his mind!

"No—! Immortal Emperor, save me!!"

The black-clad Immortal King felt the overwhelming, all-consuming imperial might closing in from behind, and let out a desolate roar filled with utter despair. He

The strange Immortal Emperor's essence within his body surged out wildly, transforming into countless layers of black defensive barriers that stood firmly behind him.

However, in the face of that golden "annihilation" character, all resistance seemed so ridiculous and powerless.

"puff!"

The golden "Extinction" character streaked across the sky without a deafening roar or an explosion of blood.

Even the multiple layers of black barriers formed from the Immortal Emperor's essence vanished without a trace the moment they came into contact with the word "annihilation," like ice blocks falling into scorching lava.

A golden light flashed by, striking the black-clad Immortal King precisely on the back.

The next moment, a scene that shocked the world unfolded.

The indestructible body of the black-clad immortal king suddenly stopped in mid-air the moment it was pierced by the word "annihilation".

The despair and panic on his face were frozen in that one second.

There was no splattering of blood, no flying bones, and no escape of souls.

Starting from the black-clad immortal king's toes, his legs, his torso, his arms, his hideous face...

The whole person was like ink stains on a traditional Chinese ink painting being washed away by a downpour, or like thick fog hanging on a branch in the early morning being exposed to the scorching sun.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Realm of Time, the Black-Clad Immortal King began to fade, become transparent, and dissipate little by little.

That's a complete physical disappearance!

Not only were his physical body and soul destroyed, but all the traces he left in this world, all the Immortal King laws flowing through his body, and even that incomparably tenacious and strange Immortal Emperor origin, were wiped out from the conceptual level by the law of destruction represented by the word "annihilation"!

The black-clad immortal king vanished like a mirage with a gust of wind, as if he had never existed at all!

silence.

A deathly silence enveloped the entire realm of time.

High in the sky, the golden light that filled the sky slowly receded and disappeared after obliterating the black-clad Immortal King.

Only the mournful sound of the wind blowing across the river remained between heaven and earth.

On the wooden boat below, Lin Hanzhou was filled with astonishment as he watched a powerful Immortal King who held the trump card of an Immortal Emperor suddenly "disappear." An indescribable tidal wave surged in his heart.

Is this the true power of the Celestial Emperor?

With a single word, the Celestial King was annihilated! Not even ashes remained!

High in the sky, the future version of himself gently shook the golden scroll in his hand.

The place where the word "annihilation" was originally written has now become a clean blank. The entire scroll no longer contains any trace of the Immortal Emperor's laws and Dao essence, and has completely become an ordinary piece of paper.

"Tsk, although the drawing is really not that great, its destructive power is just as strong as it used to be."

The future self muttered something under his breath, then shook his head, rolled up the discarded imperial paper again, and stuffed it back into the arms of his tattered raincoat.

As the Black-Clad Immortal King perished, the terrifying aura remaining within the Realm of Time began to dissipate rapidly.

The enormous wound in the sky was completely healed under the operation of the laws, the azure sky reappeared, and the soft sunlight once again cascaded down, covering the clear and wide river.

On the flat riverbanks, the ancient trees and exotic flowers destroyed by the aftermath of the battle were also nourished by the magical laws of time in the realm of time, and they sprouted again at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing branches and leaves, and blooming with vitality.

If you ignore the faint traces of battle still lingering in the air, this place has returned to its original tranquility, peace, and idyllic paradise, much like a secluded haven in the Jiangnan region.

The future self stood high in the sky, slightly lowered his head, and glanced at the unharmed wooden boat below and Lin Hanzhou on the boat.

His lips, hidden beneath his straw hat, curled slightly as he slowly stepped down from the sky.

With each step he took, the distance between heaven and earth seemed to fold and shrink beneath his feet.

In just a few steps, the future version of himself, dressed in a tattered raincoat and holding a wooden oar, returned to the slightly swaying wooden boat and stood quietly at the bow.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling his raincoat and bamboo hat.

The future version of himself still had his back to Lin Hanzhou, quietly watching the vast river of time flowing beneath his feet, his tone as calm as if he had just casually swatted a nasty fly.

"The problem is solved."
