NOVEL NEXT Chapter 683: 683. Victory
"My future self" just disappeared out of thin air, signifying nothing could be clearer.
Primordial flinched for a moment, then said to Lu Li with a wistful expression,
"It seems I have no future, I've only experienced the feeling of being alive for a day, I'm really not willing to let go..."
Although the Seven Emotions and Six Desires disturb the peace, even one minute is better than being a stone for billions of years.
However, Lu Li was in the state of "Supreme Forgetfulness"; he not only said nothing but also swung his sword to deliver a vertical slash before the other finished speaking.
The blade, wrapped in the annihilatory reaction of the colorful dawn light, shattered the space and fell onto Primordial's "old self's" head, ready to cleave it in two.
Thus maximizing the contact area and the damage, if there were a blood bar, it would likely reduce at least 40%.
But if there's no future, what good is the "past."
Primordial no longer cared and swung his sword in the same fashion, determined to cleave Lu Li in half.
Lu Li kept his motion unchanged, bisecting Primordial's "old self."
At the same time, his right hand reached into the void and drew out another "Black Hole Sword," blocking Primordial's attack.
The collision of the two dark blades erupted into a vast expanse of annihilation dawn light, tearing the surrounding space into a dense web of cracks.
And Primordial's "Black Hole Sword" rapidly turned white, beginning to become semi-transparent, unable to maintain the black hole form due to excessive consumption.
The Tai Chi Diagram behind Lu Li slowly turned, both in terms of total energy level and burst intensity; it was twice as high.
Without the enhancement of the "Triune," Primordial was no match at all.
It's better to break one of his fingers than to harm all ten; Lu Li aimed at Primordial's "old self" and fiercely delivered another sword strike.
The four-armed demon had been cut into eight pieces and with a pitiful howl, it faded away.
This was not a voluntary summoning back but a forced dispersal.
With the "past self" heavily damaged, the present Primordial should not be born.
Entangling time paradoxes, all the wives who were watching the battle were quite curious, all eyes were on Primordial to see what end he would meet.
However, Primordial was not affected and was wielding the "Black Hole Sword," struggling to fend off Lu Li's attacks.
"Could it really be just a projection, of no consequence?"
Xia Weiyun voiced the doubt in everyone's hearts, and Xiao Cha also shouted,
"If it's not affecting him, then let Lu Li quickly summon 'his future self' to help!"
Even without a future, Primordial still clenched his teeth and fought desperately.
With each collision of the Black Hole Swords, the cosmic spatial layers shattered like eggshells.
Large patches of pitch-black rifts spread out faster than the speed of light, devouring many still-intact star systems and turning them into nothingness.
Numerous space battleships urgently ascended, avoiding the temporal-spatial rifts, but were reduced to dust by the scattering dawn light of annihilation.
And Primordial's "Black Hole Sword" couldn't keep up with the consumption and quickly shattered.
She herself was cleaved in half by Lu Li's sword, letting out a shriek!
The cry was not out of pain but frustration and a hint of realization, as if she had just understood something?
Gong Xue's eyes lit up and she suddenly said,
"The consequences of the old self being severely damaged have already occurred! Don't you think Primordial awakened too slowly? Even waking up half a day earlier could have left Lu Li dead without a place to be buried!"
Indeed, because of today's battle, which injured his past self, Primordial woke up too late, leading to a total defeat.
Everyone suddenly realized and Primordial herself felt an overwhelming sense of absurdity, along with the will to survive.
At this moment, her facial features twisted, gone was her composure and calmness.
She didn't want to die, she wanted to live.
This is the most basic instinct of all living creatures, which only magnifies infinitely once self-consciousness emerges.
But Lu Li would not let his opponent go, two Black Hole Swords had already slashed down, decapitating the Primordial.
With a loud shout, the Primordial allowed the just-severed remnants of its body to coalesce into a new "Black Hole Sword," and then it slashed at itself?
The powerful gravity tore apart space-time, carving out a pitch-black rift.
The space here had long been in disarray; upon encountering this rift, it grew even larger and deeper, becoming a wormhole tunnel leading elsewhere.
This was exactly what the Primordial wanted, and it swiftly dove into it with its remaining head.
Lu Li was sure that this was the enemy's true self, the seat of its self-awareness. Naturally, he intended to eradicate it completely and thus immediately followed into the rift.
Upon arriving in the world behind, he found it disconcertingly familiar.
There was a blue planet, yet the Sun raged violently, already drastically expanding in preparation for a supernova explosion.
This was the original home of Xiao Cha and the others, the universe created by Shaohao.
The Primordial had clearly come here on purpose, intent on mutual destruction.
But Lu Li raised his hand and enveloped the entire Sun, thwarting its delusions.
"Hehe..."
The Primordial let out a bitter laugh, hoarsely saying, "You've been tricked!"
Lu Li's brows furrowed as he discovered that the "Black Hole Sword" the Primordial had left behind had opened up another wormhole tunnel. After plunging in, he arrived at... the Milky Way!
The expression on the remaining head of the Primordial finally calmed:
"If I threatened you with your homeland, you wouldn't care now, would you?"
Lu Li thrust out his sword and impaled the Primordial's head upon it, giving his answer through action.
"Hehe, as expected..."
The Primordial smiled, saying:
"Back when the universe was still chaotic, I already existed. The time of 13.8 billion years ends today. And to truly die is to be completely forgotten... So, my dearest master, I will make you remember me forever!"
Accompanying its words, the "Black Hole Sword" struck toward Blue Star!
There was no need to hit the mark; just entering the Solar Sphere would spell doom for the entire Solar System!
Lu Li, caught off guard, was too late to return. If he did, he would arrive just in time to witness the destruction of his mother star.
Moreover, the Primordial laughed wildly, unleashing its last ounce of strength to seal space-time and erase the last glimmer of hope.
But Lu Li had no intention of giving up. He fiercely slashed out three times, forcibly opening a wormhole back to his homeland, in search of a sliver of chance.
At this moment, the ones closest were his wives.
Qiu Sheng shouted at Gong Xue, "Let's go for it!"
The two female Yang Gods had a tacit understanding, channeling all their strength into the "Xuanyuan Sword."
Xiao Cha and the others also poured their True Qi and Immortal Will into it.
And then they sent this Neutron Star Divine Sword warping instantaneously, intercepting the Black Hole Sword.
The collision was sudden, and the "Xuanyuan Sword," being of a lower hierarchy, shattered into a meteor shower on the spot.
But the Primordial's "Black Hole Sword" was already nearing the end of its strength. Met by the Flying Sword infused with the combined power of all the women, it paused momentarily, and its speed dropped by thirty percent.
Just as the "Black Hole Sword" continued its advance, passing through the Ort Nebula, gliding by Lu Li's statue, and nearing the edge of the Solar Sphere...
A wormhole stretched open in time, an arm reached out from within, and grabbed the "Black Hole Sword," completely crushing it.
Lu Li stepped out and let out a long sigh of relief.
The Primordial still hung from the sword, her face now full of disappointment:
"I should have devoted myself to cultivating my own direct lineage... What a pity..."
Before her words even finished, Lu Li's Black Hole Sword stirred rapidly, pulverizing the newly born Black Hole Goddess from body to consciousness, obliterating her existence altogether.
