Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

The pillar of light pierced through heaven and earth; it could be seen easily from a great distance.

Qin Chuan's expression instantly became intense upon seeing this.

He thought they could remain hidden for a while after making their appearance.

To his surprise, the Second Rank turned out to be such a pitfall.

"Retreat!" Qin Chuan shouted in a low voice, grabbing Lin Yue without hesitation and sprinting towards a certain direction. However, before they had gone far, a series of terrifying presences swiftly soared towards them.

"Human Race! You've got some nerve!"

Accompanying a roar, a figure that Qin Chuan and Lin Yue had never seen before made its appearance directly in front of them, blocking their way.

It was a Great Demon God the two had never encountered, but from the extreme dread of the opposition's presence, Qin Chuan vaguely guessed its identity.

"Punishment Demon God·Aganier?" Qin Chuan spoke solemnly, "You dare obstruct me?"

"Such arrogance, if I were you, Aganier, I wouldn't tolerate it," a creepy voice spoke up, and the next moment, a figure shrouded in shadows stepped out from the darkness.

The aura emanating from his body was as immense as that of Aganier.

"Envoy of Mist·Fen Ge'er." Qin Chuan slowly spoke the name of this strongest being of the Second Realm from the Dead Ghost Clan.

Following the successive arrival of these two, other powerhouses of the Second Realm also arrived one after another, forming a siege and surrounding Qin Chuan and Lin Yue completely.

Looking at the dozen or so Second Realm powerhouses who had arrived, Qin Chuan instead calmed down.

"Is it just you?" he asked calmly. "If it's only you, then it's probably not enough to stop us."

"What about adding me?"

With a cold voice, a power capable of crushing all the Second Realm presences explosively descended.

A fearsome, indescribable figure slowly emerged from the void, its blood-red eyes locking onto Qin Chuan immediately, cold and filled with undisguised intent to kill.

"Ancestor of the Dead Ghost?" Sensing the terror emanating from the other, almost equivalent to death itself, Qin Chuan's eyebrows lifted. "I thought the one descending would be the Half-demon Ancestor."

"But, this will suffice."

As his words fell, everything around them came to an absolute halt.

Time Stop, activated!

Qin Chuan converted all attributes to attack power, drawing from the severe cold a blade of ice, and immediately launched an attack on the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost.

"Clang—"

The long blade struck the indescribable body of the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost beneath the black mist, letting out a muffled sound of metal clashing, echoing for a long time in the silent Time Freeze Space.

Qin Chuan's pupils slightly constricted.

This guy, can't be cut even under Time Stop?!

Was it due to the authority of the Third Rank?

Qin Chuan's brows furrowed slightly, he abandoned the long blade in his hand, his hands transforming into claws, the Blood Fury modifier activated, instantly activating the Blood Dragon Scale.

One claw... two claws... countless.

With a sudden increase in attack speed, Qin Chuan unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks on the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost, combining multiple modifiers and Skill effects, and completed hundreds of attacks in an instant.

In his hands converged a pair of silver-white blades, carving a cross-moon arc across the void and striking heavily onto the body of the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost, leaving behind a silver-white Cross Blade Mark. Then, gathering up a Frost Long Blade, he shouted lowly and fiercely slashed at the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost.

Red Eyes Characteristic: Absolute Edge!

Red Eyes Skill: Sun·Dual Moon Slash!

With the overlay of the two, Qin Chuan's next attack's Damage would be a hundred percent Absolute Damage!

An attack reaching thirty million in power, the final Damage enhancement from hundreds of Eternal Winter Marks, the Damage increase from hundreds of Shattering Marks, plus the high attack boost from all Skills and modifiers being activated—all of it combined into a world-shaking strike at that moment.

"Slit!"

With a roar, Qin Chuan's long blade in hand instantly slashed across the colossal body of the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost.

Just one strike, and the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost's body was cleanly severed in two.

Taking a breath, Qin Chuan in the midst of Time Stop couldn't help but crack a smile.

Even with the unknown authority of the Third Realm, in the face of absolute power and the inability to resist under Time Stop, death was still certain.

And incidentally, it was time to pull someone else down with him.

Qin Chuan glanced towards the dozen or so Second Realm powerhouses frozen in the Time Stop, his eyes flickering briefly before he struck out with his blade again.

Everything around him resumed from the stillness, and the just-arrived Ancestor of the Dead Ghost let out an astonished and furious scream.

"What have you done?!"

Thereafter, under the watchful and terrified eyes of everyone present, his huge and indescribable body split in two, the scent of death spiraling out of control, consuming him completely.

"Ancestor!"

The Wraith Envoy·Fen Ge'er let out a roar, and only then did he feel his own essence rapidly deteriorating. His intangible form showed an expression of disbelief before he perished on the spot, accompanied by the dissipation of the black mist.

In just an instant, the descended form of the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost was slain, and the mightiest of the Second Realm were as good as reset.

"If the ancestors of the other Clans put up a bit of a fight, the Dead Ghost Clan should be able to exit the Clan Wars ahead of schedule," Qin Chuan said with a chuckle.

With the descended form killed, the true form of the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost would surely be severely injured, no longer possessing the ability to contend with the other ancestors for some time.

And Fen Ge'er, the strongest in the Second Realm of the Dead Ghost Clan, should have been the candidate for Ancestor. His fall preceding the Ancestor's meant that once the Ancestor fell, the Dead Ghost Clan would shortly find itself in the awkward position of having no one in the Third Realm.

By then, they would be lambs to the slaughter.

As Qin Chuan's voice fell, absolute silence enveloped the scene.

The Second Realm powerhouses who hadn't been attacked remained dazed.

Just now... who had descended?

It was the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost, right?

Even among the six ancestral powerhouses, the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost, who was upper-middle in strength, just like that... gone?

This was the Third Realm!

Not only overwhelmingly more powerful than the Second Realm but also possessing greater authority than the Second Realm, was now obliterated?

Realizing what this implied, all Second Realm powerhouses looked at Qin Chuan as if they had seen a ghost.

Before Qin Chuan could speak again, they scattered and fled faster than when they had arrived, as arrogantly as they came, as wretchedly they ran.

"Ah, this..." Qin Chuan blinked, then spread his hands, "I really didn't mean to kill them."

If he had wanted, he could have annihilated all of them just now.

Now was not yet the time to roll out fully; the Human Race still needed to build up strength. Not to mention, filling all eight slots in the Heavenly Dome Rank of the Second Rank was imperative.

Thus, Qin Chuan's initial plan was merely to kill an arriving Ancestor as a warning to the others, and if possible, taking out any lucky Clan in one sweep would be best.

Now, the Dead Ghost became that fortunate one.

"Pfft~" Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh, "You just killed the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost; of course, they wouldn't believe you."

"Alright then." Qin Chuan looked innocent, "Do you think those in the Third Rank will make a move against the Dead Ghost Clan?"

"I don't think so." Lin Yue pondered for a moment, then shook her head slightly, "You've now shown the power to kill those in the Third Realm, which to other ancestors, makes the Human Race's threat far greater than the other Clans."

"At this time, what they can do is to unite all forces that can be united, against us."

"The Ancestor of the Dead Ghost, although severely injured, is not dead after all, and moreover, the Dead Ghost Clan still has a multitude of powerful members."

"Allowing the Dead Ghost Clan to exit the stage early at this time is also a form of weakening for other Clans, making them more vulnerable when facing the Human Race," Lin Yue paused, "So I think, not only will they not take advantage of the situation, but they might even help the Ancestor of the Dead Ghost to recover."

"That makes sense." Qin Chuan nodded.

Having heard Lin Yue's words, he also realized the intricacies.

While it was a pity that he couldn't annihilate the Dead Ghost Clan right now, the effect of killing a chicken to warn the monkeys was still...

"BOOM!!!"

A loud explosion suddenly erupted in the sky above, causing the entire Second Realm of the Heavenly Dome to tremble violently.

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue were both startled.

A line of text quietly appeared before their eyes.

[The Ancestor of the Dead Ghost·Lauterlein has fallen.]

The two exchanged looks, unable to conceal the astonishment in their hearts.

The Ancestor of the Dead Ghost... dead?!
