Even if Yi Shuihan himself went in, he wouldn't be able to break the time loop easily unless he used the power of the system. It can be said to be an extremely powerful ultimate move.
Of course, it's not without its weaknesses. When using the Time Loop, Yi Shuihan needs to maintain a hand seal posture and devote most of his energy to maintaining the Time Loop. Therefore, the Time Loop is not so suitable when facing multiple enemies.
The flaw is obvious, but it is impossible to use this flaw to deal with Yi Shuihan. He can interrupt the time loop at any time, and the cost of interruption is not great, with almost no backlash.
In the blink of an eye, the scene in the time loop has been repeated hundreds of times. However, the Hundred Battles Emperor is very strong, and hundreds of times of consumption have only weakened him slightly. Judging from the situation, the Hundred Battles Emperor will not be significantly weakened without tens of thousands of times.
After watching the short film so many times, Yi Shuihan felt a bit aesthetically fatigued and wanted to vomit from the repetition. So he simply looked away and gazed at the Emperor of Fate not far away.
Emperor Dianming was now completely astonished. From the moment he arrived until now, Yi Shuihan had given him far too many shocks. First, there was the strength that far surpassed that of a newly promoted Daoist, and then there was the unfair recovery ability. He knew very well how powerful that battle fist was. Even if he himself had taken it, he would have been seriously injured. Yet Yi Shuihan had recovered quickly thanks to his recovery ability.
That's not all. The understanding of the Dao of Time displayed by the Time Loop technique surprised and even frightened Dianming Emperor. If it were him, what would he do in the face of this move? There is only one answer: he would also fall into the same situation as Baizhan Emperor. Even if he now knows that Yi Shuihan has this move, he is completely unable to defend against it. All he can do is avoid contact with Yi Shuihan, and in that case, he will basically be unable to defeat Yi Shuihan.
"I never expected you to be the strongest among us."
An expression that says, "You've been hiding this so well."
"I never said I was the weakest."
Yi Shuihan said calmly.
"Looks like we got lucky by accident, and that guy Anyang got a good deal."
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe I can defeat him too?"
Emperor Dianming didn't quite believe what Yi Shuihan said. In his opinion, Yi Shuihan might be the strongest among the representatives who came this time, but his strength wouldn't be strong enough to take on the other cultivators in a series of battles. Emperor Baizhan was likely to lose, and Yi Shuihan wouldn't be able to avoid any losses.
Emperor Dianming believed that if he fought Yi Shuihan again after Emperor Baizhan's defeat, he would still have a chance to win.
Seeing the Hundred Battles Emperor's aura weakening, the Fate Emperor had a momentary urge to interfere with Yi Shuihan and cause the time loop to fail.
Ultimately, Emperor Ming did not do that. It wasn't that he felt he couldn't succeed, but he had other considerations. Even if he succeeded, what would it matter? He would completely offend Yi Shuihan. Even if they could defeat Yi Shuihan in the end, they would definitely not be able to kill him. If Yi Shuihan wanted to run away, they couldn't stop him.
He has only recently advanced to the Path of Creation and already possesses such strength. In the future, he will definitely far surpass him, and it would be normal for him to reach the third rank of combat power. When that time comes, Yi Shuihan will seek revenge on him, and Dianming Emperor will be in a tragic situation.
Offending Yi Shui Han for the sake of a world spanning seven immeasurable kalpas would be fine if one had absolute certainty, but right now, Emperor Dianming needs to think it over carefully.
Time passed slowly, and Yi Shuihan lost count of how many times the time loop had occurred; it had certainly exceeded one million.
The aura emanating from the Hundred Battles Emperor was now only about half of what it was at the beginning.
Compared to the weakening of the Hundred Battles Emperor, Yi Shuihan's consumption was much less. At least according to the perception of the Fate Emperor, Yi Shuihan's aura was almost unchanged from before.
This discovery made Emperor Dianming somewhat glad that he hadn't made the decision to use underhanded tactics in the first place; Yi Shuihan's strength had once again exceeded his expectations.
With a flick of his eyeballs, Yi Shuihan's magic spell suddenly dissipated, and at the same time, the time loop collapsed. It wasn't that he couldn't maintain it, but that he felt it was enough, and there was no need to weaken the Hundred Battles Emperor to the point where he couldn't fight.
With only half his power remaining, the Hundred Battles Emperor was no match for him at all. Even if the Hundred Battles Emperor unleashed his battle fist, it would not be able to threaten him.
"what happened!"
Upon escaping the time loop, the Hundred Battles Emperor immediately noticed his own weakness and was greatly alarmed. When he saw Yi Shuihan calmly watching him, his heart was filled with turmoil.
As a veteran cultivator, he immediately deduced the consequences of his actions based on his own experience, realizing that he had fallen victim to Yi Shuihan's trick.
Looking at Yi Shuihan with an extremely complicated expression, Bai Zhanhuang had the thought of admitting defeat immediately.
"I don't mind if you admit defeat; admitting defeat also takes courage."
Yi Shuihan said very sincerely, and it was this one sentence that made Bai Zhanhuang give up his intention to admit defeat, as he also had his pride.
"war!"
With a roar, the Hundred Battles Emperor launched another attack. His surging battle intent actually allowed him to recover some of his strength.
However, the fact that the Hundred Battles Emperor was weak could not be changed. No matter how high his aura was, his strength and speed had obviously decreased, posing no threat to Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan did not defeat Hundred Battles Emperor directly with absolute power, but instead observed Hundred Battles Emperor's fighting style during the battle, as he needed to learn from it.
"It seems the time loop has had a significant impact on him."
He felt somewhat disappointed because at this point, the Hundred Battles Emperor had lost his composure and there was nothing left for Yi Shuihan to learn from him.
With a tremendous impact, the Hundred Battles Emperor was knocked down by Yi Shuihan for the first time, followed by a crushing defeat.
Chapter 1455, Destroying the Black Hole
The Hundred Battles Emperor's body lay undignifiedly on the ground, head down, covered in dust, motionless, looking as if he had truly fainted.
However, would someone who has created a path faint? Of course not. For them, even if their soul is on the verge of collapse, as long as they don't want to faint, they definitely won't. They can control everything.
The reason he acted as if he had fainted was simply because Hundred Battles Emperor wanted to faint. You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
After glancing at Hundred Battles Emperor, Yi Shuihan's gaze shifted away from him. He swung his arm and waved it casually a few times.
"Alright, let's begin the second round! I think you've been ready for a while, haven't you?"
These words were naturally directed at Emperor Dianming. Now the initiative had returned to his hands, and Emperor Dianming had no choice but to fight.
Emperor Dianming did not reply, but expressed his will through his actions.
The surrounding environment suddenly transformed into the cosmos, and the Emperor of Fate was the brightest star.
Billions of stars fell, carrying world-destroying flames as they hurtled towards Yi Shuihan.
"A very clever trick!"
Yi Shuihan was merely manipulating time, placing himself in an absolute time-safe zone, where the stars couldn't even touch his edge.
"The star of destiny awakens and ignites."
The falling stars burned rapidly, turning into nothingness in the blink of an eye. Each star was reduced to a single point, a point countless times smaller than an atom.
bang
The star exploded, and then a small black hole appeared—one, two, three…
Countless black holes surrounded Yi Shuihan, and the powerful attraction made the time-safe domain no longer safe, forcing Yi Shuihan to step outside.
Even a single Dao Creator could not create so many black holes. These are all pseudo-black holes, but when added together, they are more terrifying than a real black hole.
All matter is being consumed, including space and time. Of course, the consumption of matter by black holes is not obvious, but it was enough to move Yi Shuihan.
"Compared to the Hundred Battles Emperor, this one seems to be even more troublesome."
Yi Shuihan tried to resist these black holes. He succeeded and failed. He succeeded because the black holes could not harm him in a short time. He failed because he discovered that these black holes were constantly strengthening, and the source of their strengthening came from himself. Something he possessed was drawn to them and turned into fuel for the black holes.
It was a very strange feeling. Yi Shuihan tried to see what kind of power it was, and was surprised to find that it was a power similar to the power of fortune in the Great World of Destiny.
"What is fate, so-called fate? Destiny, destiny?"
Yi Shuihan could sense that power; it was something very ethereal and intangible, but now it had been materialized by Dianming Huang and used in battle.
Yi Shuihan tried to stop their power, but to little avail.
The black hole blocked Yi Shuihan's path; to attack Dianming Emperor, he had to pass through the black hole.
Faced with this terrifying celestial body, Yi Shuihan revealed a complex smile, and then resolutely rushed into the nearest black hole.
Yi Shuihan, having given up resisting the suction, plunged into the embrace of the black hole.
Before you lies a chaotic space, where everything is reduced to nothingness, and there is no concept of time. One moment you are here, and the next you are there, making it difficult to control.
As an individual, Yi Shuihan possesses energy greater than that of a black hole. If this energy source does not have direct consciousness, it will be slowly absorbed and assimilated by the black hole.
When Yi Shuihan demonstrated his ability to manipulate the internal workings of the black hole, the interior became even more chaotic, with frequent spatial shifts making Yi Shuihan feel as if he were inside a constantly spinning washing machine; those with poor balance would feel dizzy.
After wandering around for an unknown amount of time, Yi Shuihan found a light and crashed into it. When he reappeared, he was already outside the black hole.
The black hole outside this one is not the one Yi Shuihan initially entered, but another one.
So, are all these black holes actually connected?
Confirming this hypothesis is easy: plunge into the black hole once again.
The process repeated itself; when Yi Shuihan emerged, she was outside another black hole.
Unfortunately, the two attempts did not allow Yi Shuihan to go very far; he advanced less than a hundred black holes' worth of distance.
If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal. If you go a few more times, you'll eventually get close to the Emperor of Fate, provided that the Emperor of Fate can't increase the number of black holes.
The truth is that Dianminghuang really cannot increase the number of black holes. In fact, he is now in the same situation as Yi Shuihan when he used the time loop, and he cannot move.
Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan's idea of closing the distance by visiting the black hole more often failed. It wasn't that Dianminghuang could move the black hole, but rather that entering and exiting the black hole didn't always close the distance.
When Yi Shuihan entered for the fourth time and reappeared at the same spot where he first entered the black hole, he realized this.
"It seems I need to be more direct."
Realizing that traveling through black holes wouldn't solve the problem, Yi Shuihan gathered his strength and threw it with all his might towards a black hole.
"Let me see if a black hole can be blown up!"
The attacked black hole trembled for a moment, then shrank in size, and finally shattered when the second attack came; it was truly destroyed.
A black hole was blown up? Can you believe it? But it's true.
Once there is one, there will be two; once there is two, there will be three. With fists paving the way, one black hole after another was shattered. Yi Shuihan approached the Emperor of Fate with slow but firm steps.
A few days later, Yi Shuihan opened a straight passage through the billion-black hole, and the black hole could no longer stop him from attacking the Emperor of Fate.
Of course, Dianming Huang wouldn't let Yi Shuihan beat him up, and began his next move.
“Fate returns to nothingness, appears and disappears, and is real; the point lies between reality and illusion; the point of fate controls illusion and truth.”
Yi Shuihan felt the absorbed power within him materialize, and then this power began to spiral out of control, backfiring on him.
"So you say the Hundred Battles Emperor is a melee fighter, and you're an AP fighter? Heh, whatever you are, under absolute power, everything is insignificant. Defeat him!"
Chapter 1456, The Dust Settles Down
The intense feeling of being bound even stirred up violent emotions in Yi Shuihan. This was not simple; anyone who had created a Dao could easily control their emotions, but now it was somewhat out of control.
The concept of "fate" was manifested, and involuntarily at that. Yi Shuihan's body and soul were filled with rage. This rage made Yi Shuihan want to simply use the power of the system to kill the Fate Emperor and end it all.
Yi Shuihan had no doubt that he had the strength to kill the Fate Emperor directly. However, he needed to consider more. If he did so, the so-called second-generation competition would turn into a massacre, and the external forces might not recognize this competition. In that case, Yi Shuihan's efforts throughout the world would be in vain.
He does not yet possess the ability to stand alone. The existence of the Great Dao Emperor is like a tight band binding Yi Shuihan, preventing him from being free.
Of course, Yi Shuihan was powerful. He ultimately held back and did not fully unleash his power, but he did unleash a portion of it. When the system's power descended, the restraints were easily torn apart like paper. In the astonished and even horrified gaze of Dianminghuang, Yi Shuihan's fist struck his face.
"You were having a lot of fun just now, weren't you? You thought you could stop me and make me stop? Now I'll show you with my fists that it's all bullshit!"
Bang, bang...
In this photo album of space, Yi Shuihan thoroughly embodied the truth that when you hit someone, you have to hit them in the face, with every punch landing squarely on the face of the Emperor of Fate.
"Look! Your nose is so cute, isn't it firm? Even though it's a bit flattened and rotten now, and your eyes, they were small before, and now they're even smaller. I think you should be very happy with my help."
"Hmm...quite thin (stops)...listen to me (stops)..."
Enduring tens of thousands of blows per second, Emperor Dianming was unable to use any other method to transmit his voice. He was completely unable to concentrate, and like an ordinary person who had been beaten into a mental state, he could only repeat the same few sentences over and over, and his pronunciation was not standard.
"What did you say? I can't hear you, speak louder."
Yi Shuihan's movements did not stop, and even became faster. He had a smile on his face, and the influence of the materialized "fate" gradually subsided after the venting.
Logically, he should have stopped, believing that Emperor Dianming would have been more than willing to admit defeat. However, he suddenly discovered that beating someone felt quite good, especially since the person he was beating was a Dao Creator.
The Hundred Battles Emperor had somehow managed to stand up again. He looked at the beating not far away with a strange expression, hesitant to speak. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief. Compared to being defeated by Yi Shuihan, a newly promoted Daoist, the Fate Emperor's plight was obviously more pitiful. From his perspective, he was happy to have such a companion who shared the same fate. However, despite his happiness, he dared not stop Yi Shuihan. It would be quite bad if he became the one being pitied.
Human nature, even in non-human beings, has similar aspects. Those scientists concluded it well: when a person encounters misfortune, he suffers, but if someone else encounters greater misfortune, his suffering will be lessened.
The beating lasted for a full half hour before Yi Shuihan stopped swinging his fists. By then, Dianminghuang's once handsome face was a complete mess.
Because he was beaten so badly, Dianminghuang will need at least a few days to recover from this facial injury. I believe he will be much quieter in the next few days and at least won't show his face in public.
"click, click"
With a wicked grin, Yi Shuihan took out a special camera and started snapping photos of Dianming Emperor.
"What are you doing? Taking pictures? No, stop right now."
After recovering slightly, Dianming Huang was stunned when he saw Yi Shuihan's actions. Then, he rushed over in terror to snatch the "camera" from Yi Shuihan's hand.
As long as the feeling of shame exists, no one wants to be seen in a pathetic state. Unfortunately, Emperor Dianming did not follow the ruthless path of detachment; he still cared a lot about his reputation.
But how could Yi Shuihan let Dianminghuang succeed? After easily dodging a few times, he put the "camera" away.
"Don't worry, I'll only enjoy these things with my best friends. You've decorated the scenery and made everyone happy, so you should be happy. Relax."
"Go to hell with your happiness!"
That's what Dianming Huang's eyes were telling Yi Shuihan, but he didn't dare say it out loud. He was terrified of being beaten and afraid that Yi Shuihan would hit him a few more times. The physical pain had disappeared, but the shadow in his heart was hard to erase.
"Battle King, do you admit defeat? If not, we can continue our battle."
Let's not provoke the Emperor of Fate for now; he seems to have a low tolerance for stress.
