It wasn't until long after entering here that it was discovered this was the small world of the Wanxiang Realm.
The Wanxiang Realm demon looked at Lu Yu, unable to ascertain this human's true cultivation level as his realm was indistinct.
Sometimes it felt that Lu Yu was at the Divine Realm, for the Power of Laws of Heaven and Earth he wielded could not cause him effective harm.
At other times it felt he was at the Wanxiang Realm, because he possessed a small world.
A small world is an exclusive capability of Martial Cultivators at the Wanxiang Realm.
Much like the true form of Wanxiang, unique to Martial Cultivators of the Wanxiang Realm.
To perfect a small world into a complete world, or gradually integrate it into the true world, could break through the Wanxiang Realm to a higher level.
The Wanxiang Realm demon recalled the instructions of the Holy Ancestor to seek out all possible threats and eliminate the source of threats.
No specific traits of threats were outlined; the demon was instructed to kill all potential threats.
Putting Lu Yu at a critical threat level, the Wanxiang Realm demon attempted to upload Lu Yu's existence to the demon cave just as Lu Yu had gathered his power.
Fire poison had permeated over half of the Wanxiang true form's body, and the lower half of the Wanxiang true form faintly glowed with fire.
Lu Yu sensed the soul fluctuations of the Wanxiang Realm demon, knowing what it was trying to communicate to the outside world, he immediately sealed this world.
No force could leave this world.
Tangible or intangible, even time and space were sealed, isolated from the God-Martial World space-time.
Under Lu Yu's feet, a star system unfolded, with lava-like fiery red stars occupying two-thirds of the area.
The star river gradually climbed onto Lu Yu's body, a new silver flame star river robe appeared on Lu Yu, shining with fire light.
Many red flame patterns were added to the original silver star river robe, and Lu Yu's aura seemed wilder, more violent.
In his strongest state, Lu Yu struck with all his might.
Star River Cutting Flow Slash!
Man and blade became one, transformed into a knife light of a burning star river, sweeping across the sky and earth, splitting the Wanxiang true form in two.
The corrosive fire poison exploded like a chain nuclear reaction, the power hidden within the fire poison rapidly exploded, impossible to stop.
In an instant, flames erupted, enveloping the Wanxiang true form.
The power of the Wanxiang true form sustained these flames; as long as it did not perish, the flames would eternally endure.
The two halves of the flame-engulfed Wanxiang true form fell to each side, Lu Yu, who swept across the world, locked onto the Wanxiang Realm demon's true body in one glance and made a sharp 180-degree turn, sweeping past the Wanxiang Realm demon again.
Crack~ Time and space shattered, Lu Yu's silhouette froze in front of the Wanxiang Realm demon, with the blade only an inch away from the demon's body.
Tick tock tick tock~ Time reversed, Lu Yu's figure swiftly retreated, time returned to the moment he made the sharp turn and counter-attacked.
Lu Yu's silhouette once again turned into a stream of light, cutting through the position of the Wanxiang Realm demon's true body.
This time, however, he struck empty air.
Lu Yu carved a bottomless fissure in the ground, but did not see the figure of the Wanxiang Realm demon.
As he quickly turned to look around, he saw a light wave rapidly enlarging in his eyes.
Boom! Lu Yu was engulfed in the sky full of demon light, which pierced through the earth and ultimately collided with the time-space boundary of the small world, shattering into countless light fragments.
Lu Yu looked up at the distant Wanxiang Realm demon, finding the recent events to be very bizarre.
Before turning back, he had clearly locked onto the opponent's position, yet when attacking, the opponent vanished into thin air.
Time Acceleration: Lu Yu's injuries healed in an instant, and he attacked the Wanxiang Realm demon again.
The Wanxiang Realm demon stared at the approaching Lu Yu, with his pitch-black pupils reflecting Lu Yu's figure. Through the dark pupils, one could see a clock-like dial deep in its eyes.
Tick tock tick tock~ The clock turned, Lu Yu's figure was pulled back to the point before he launched an attack, the wounds on the Wanxiang Realm demon rapidly recovering.
Crack~ Time resumed normal flow, Lu Yu's silhouette flashed by, hitting nothing but air once more.
After missing, Lu Yu hesitated not for a moment, quickly sidestepping as a wave of magic light brushed past him, piercing through the ground.
Turning around, Lu Yu looked heavily at the Wanxiang Realm demon, seemingly having understood the opponent's ability.
Time Reversal.
Time Reversal was far more formidable than the Time Acceleration and Time Deceleration he had mastered.
What he could control was just individual time; the power of time the Wanxiang Realm demon employed controlled the time of this entire world.
Every time Lu Yu was about to hit, the Wanxiang Realm demon would trigger Time Reversal, thus flawlessly evading Lu Yu's attacks and counterattacking at the first opportunity.
Truth be told, Lu Yu had no good way to counter the Wanxiang Realm demon's Time Reversal ability.
During the period of Time Reversal, he couldn't move, and the crucial point was that after Time Reversal, his memory of the attack would disappear.
In other words, he wouldn't even realize that a Time Reversal had occurred.
If he hadn't grasped a portion of the Time Law, he might never have understood why until death.
Comprehending some Time Laws only allowed him to realize what had happened; it was not enough to alter the current situation.
Soon, Lu Yu thought of a countermeasure.
He couldn't deal with Time Reversal, but he could exhaust the Wanxiang Realm demon's power.
In this world, the Wanxiang Realm demon's power couldn't recover.
Using such a powerful ability as Time Reversal certainly consumed a massive amount of energy; Lu Yu doubted it could use it indefinitely. Once its energy was depleted and it could no longer use Time Reversal, Lu Yu could hit it.
It was a rather stupid method, but it was also highly effective.
Lu Yu immediately set off to attack again, not giving the Wanxiang Realm demon a moment's respite, each attack executed with full force even if he knew it couldn't hit the target.
If not performed with full force, the attack wouldn't pose a threat to the Wanxiang Realm demon, and it wouldn't trigger the use of the energy-draining Time Reversal ability.
Now, it was a contest of who could endure longer.
When Lu Yu couldn't unleash an attack strong enough to threaten the Wanxiang Realm demon, it would be his defeat.
If before that, the Wanxiang Realm demon's power was exhausted first, it would be Lu Yu's victory.
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~ The earth was ravaged, whether by Lu Yu's attacks or the Wanxiang Realm demon's strikes, leaving bottomless grooves and deep pits on the ground.
Tick tock~ Tick tock~ Tick tock~ Lu Yu constantly heard the sound of time, and after using the Time Laws, he could always hear the sound of time resuming its flow after a Time Reversal.
Hearing the tick-tock sound meant that a Time Reversal had just occurred.
This was Lu Yu's crucial basis for judging his current situation.
Lu Yu left no room for the opponent to breathe, launching another attack even before his injuries recovered.
Tick tock tick tock~ The sound of time flowing rang in Lu Yu's ears, he hesitated for a moment and found himself before the demon.
Instinctively, Lu Yu unleashed his most potent power, blasting the demon's body.
The Wanxiang Realm demon's body shattered into fragments, barely avoiding being blown apart.
Lu Yu realized, a smile appearing on his face, its energy was depleted!
Time Reversal had shrunk to only revert to the moment before his attack reached it, indicating the Wanxiang Realm demon had utterly exhausted its power.
"Die for me!"
Lu Yu pursued the Wanxiang Realm demon's figure as it was blasted away.
Star River Cutting Flow Slash!
Time and space fractured, the star river severed, leaving only a peerless blade light.
At this moment, it was as if time itself had stopped.
Crack crack crack~ Time resumed its flow, beneath Lu Yu lay the dying Wanxiang Realm demon, surrounded by a nearly collapsing world.
This small world almost faced destruction in their fight.
Instead of killing the Wanxiang Realm demon, Lu Yu forcibly pried open its small world and entered.
Lu Yu intended to enter his small world, leaving the Wanxiang Realm demon somewhat stunned, immediately allowing him to enter.
It also hadn't expected, after defeating it, that Lu Yu still sought to die.
If so, it would just have to oblige him.
