At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 652 Annihilation of Stars
Luo's punches were wide and sweeping, as if each swing drew upon the bloodthirsty aura of countless battlefields throughout history, and his moves were exquisitely refined.

Gu's response was pure to the extreme; every punch and kick was devoid of any harshness, yet it followed a fundamental principle—the great way is simple, returning to the original state.

The exchange of dozens of rounds was so swift and rapid that Jun, standing to the side, could barely keep up with its movements.

However, as time went by, a storm was brewing in Luo's heart.

He is the master of war, the embodiment of the concept of "struggle".

Even if what has descended at this moment is merely an avatar, without using any extraordinary power, his understanding of the realm of "battle" alone should make him virtually invincible throughout the entire prehistoric continent.

Everyone has their own expertise, and in the art of fighting and combat, he is the insurmountable peak.

But the young man in front of me is an anomaly.

Gu's every move was spontaneous, frighteningly simple, yet breathtakingly perfect.

In contrast to Luo Yue's growing shock, Gu's tense expression gradually eased.

His mind is as clear as a mirror, able to reflect the opponent's true state.

Although the man's fist was incredibly powerful, the killing intent that permeated the entire fight was only ever around him; it never truly locked onto him, nor did it leak out in the slightest to his unconscious compatriots.

He got it.

This seemingly dangerous battle was never about life or death from the very beginning.

Upon realizing this, Gu's figure suddenly stopped after the collision, all movement ceased, and he simply stood there calmly.

Luo's punch, which was poised to strike, came to an abrupt halt, stopping less than three inches from Gu's face, the force of the punch causing Gu's hair to dance wildly.

He was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, which then turned into understanding and a helpless feeling of being both amused and exasperated.

He slowly withdrew his fist and shook his head with a sense of helplessness.

"What an interesting lad."

He spoke in a low voice, then reached out to Gu with a hand large enough to crush stars, his face more solemn than ever before:
"Luo."

Gu looked at him silently, then reached out and shook his hand.

The three did not linger in the village.

After taking the villagers, who were terrified but had slowly regained consciousness, to a large, human-dominated tribe nearby, they embarked on a new journey together.

……

In another time and space, or rather, at the origin of this time and space.

Zhang Qi stood quietly in the void, his gaze piercing through the layers of world barriers, looking towards the seemingly unchanging starry sky.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly.

A distant star, without warning... disappeared.

It is not that it fades away, nor that it is swallowed by darkness, but that it is completely erased from the material world.

It's like an artist erasing a bit of ink from a painting with an eraser, leaving no trace.

Then came the second one, the third one...

Vast swathes of stars are being annihilated in a way that violates the fundamental laws of the universe.

Matter and energy can be interconverted; this is an ironclad rule of the multiverse, and it applies even in this world filled with extraordinary power.

The collapse of a star will inevitably release terrifying energy enough to illuminate an entire galaxy.

However, Zhang Qi didn't sense anything.

There were no violent fluctuations of energy, no ripples in space and time, only a deathly silence spreading across the canvas of the starry sky.

This strange phenomenon itself signifies the greatest abnormality.

"snake……"

Zhang Qi uttered the name softly.

The only explanation is that the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes has begun a new operation. It is accumulating power, draining the entire universe of matter in an incomprehensible way, all for the sake of descending in the most perfect form during the final battle.

Almost at the same moment, Wu Ming also discovered this through the rift between the underworld and the lower dimensions, and looked up at the sky in surprise.

"He is preparing for the final battle. We must strike first!"

Wu Ming took a deep breath. While doing so would allow him to quickly recover his energy, it would also attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao of this world.

The snake's actions indicate that the other party has also sensed the danger...

That's why I had no choice but to do this.

With Zhang Qi's return, Wu Ming felt that his incomplete essence had also reclaimed some of its power, and his once dormant [God] authority began to respond again.

"If needed..."

“I can summon future powers, such as the Heavenly Court’s cultivation army, directly into this era by consuming ‘possibilities’.”

Wu Ming continued, saying that Hao and the human city were gathering resistance forces to prepare for a decisive battle against all races.

But this process is still too slow; if needed, he could bring out his existing fighting force.

Kunpeng is the ultimate weapon created by humans in previous reincarnations, using all their technological power and fragments of the tower as raw materials.

It possesses a transcendent quality, allowing it to exist outside of time and make changes to the past and future; it is a man-made remedy for regret.

It was through the power of the Kunpeng that the serpent was able to act in this era and transform the entire multiverse into what it is today.

It could even create a world-ending scenario, where all races wipe out humanity...

His potential is essentially the manifestation of transcendent abilities.

What Kunpeng can do, he can do too.

It's not impossible to directly bring over the future cultivation army.

However, Zhang Qi simply shook his head.

“No.” His voice was calm and even. “You can’t do that anymore.”

He was stating a fact, not speculating.

“This timeline has been fixed ever since you summoned me, consuming the possibility.”

"No one can interfere with this timeline anymore, including yourself..."

Wu Ming was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

He subconsciously activated his powers, trying to touch the ever-flowing river of time and pluck the string called "possibility".

However, he failed.

His will was like a clay ox sinking into the sea; his previously invincible transcendence was repelled by a more immense and absolute force the moment it touched the river of time.

This timeline, it seems, has transformed from a rushing river into an indestructible, eternal crystal.

"how come……"

Wu Ming looked at Zhang Qi in disbelief; his potential was a transcendent ability.

Previously, because of the preciousness of the possibility, he had kept it unused after summoning Zhang Qi, never expecting it to turn out like this now.

"This is your own choice..."

Zhang Qi shook his head and continued.

There are two possibilities that led to this current situation. One is that Wu Ming himself consumed a large amount of potential at once, causing him to appear in the entire multiverse.

The second estimate is the impact he, or rather his future self, will have...

The reason for this change is, of course, to deal with Kunpeng...
