Chapter 417: Slaying the Primordial Old Man

Only a corner of the Primordial Tower was visible, and the defective Primordial Old Man walked out smiling.

The complete Primordial Old Man let out a low roar: "Why haven't you dissipated yet? And how did you hide yourself?"

In this Primordial Tower, it is the complete Primordial Old Man's home turf; his command of temporal power is flawless. If the defective Primordial Old Man used temporal power to hide, he would surely not escape detection.

The complete Primordial Old Man racked his brains in vain, and just then Shen Qing's laughter rang out.

"Of course it's because of me."

Although the stored temporal power would indeed not escape detection, what if we add Shen Qing's Heaven-Covering Dust?

The Primordial Old Man's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, recalling the Supreme Lotus Shen Qing had at the beginning, which had also been concealed by a special power, only noticed when that lotus appeared before his eyes.

The Primordial Old Man felt somewhat numb now; extreme physical strength, extreme learning speed, means to conceal and break free from temporal power, plus that terrifying six-colour lotus—in just a brief exchange, Shen Qing had already displayed so many methods.

He looked at Shen Qing, somewhat anxious: "Just how many tricks do you still have?!"

Shen Qing spoke jokingly: "Not many left, but killing you is more than enough!"

The defective Primordial Old Man also shouted excitedly: "Shen Qing! Let's go!"

As his words fell, Shen Qing surged forth; temporal power condensed, and dozens of past afterimages coalesced in the air, shooting toward the Primordial Old Man.

Shen Qing had successfully replicated the Primordial Old Man's technique; although he couldn't yet produce a hundred afterimages at once, it was sufficient.

The complete Primordial Old Man let out a hoarse roar, condensing past afterimages to collide with Shen Qing's afterimages.

Meanwhile, Shen Qing himself stepped forward, closing in to the front of the complete Primordial Old Man.

The Primordial Old Man again used temporal deceleration to try to escape, but Shen Qing's speed now could completely keep up with him; using the temporal deceleration technique grew ever more facile for Shen Qing, and combined with Instant Eternity, his speed was now on par with the complete Primordial Old Man.

One ahead, one behind, Shen Qing kept tightly pursuing the complete Primordial Old Man.

But just then, the complete Primordial Old Man's temporal power stalled for a moment, his speed faltered, and Shen Qing's Dragon Slash pierced straight through, giving him a chilling stab.

Although the next instant the temporal power recovered, the Primordial Old Man immediately dissipated and recondensed elsewhere; he lifted his head to look at the defective Primordial Old Man.

"As the saying goes, one fears the betrayal of one's bedside companion, for the bedside companion often knows you best and is clear about all your weaknesses."

"Yet for the complete Primordial Old Man, the defective Primordial Old Man is more terrifying than a bedside companion, because he himself knows everything about him."

The complete Primordial Old Man bellowed: "What are you doing? We are one entity!"

"Why are you helping an outsider?"

The defective Primordial Old Man's face turned ashen, his body nearing dissipation—after all, little power remained, and he had twice blocked the Primordial Old Man—yet the smile on his face was extraordinarily carefree.

"Who says we are one? Drop dead, you!"

Suddenly, the complete Primordial Old Man's legs went weak, and he knelt mid‑air, a wave of weakness washing over him.

Only then did he notice that the wound just pierced in his chest had not healed, and at its edge a mysterious energy was blocking the regeneration of temporal power.

Gradually, a look of disbelief appeared in the complete Primordial Old Man's eyes, his voice trembling somewhat.

"This is... Chaos Power?"

"But... how could this be possible? Why would any living being master Chaos Power?"

"Even the Creator God, when alive, never mastered Chaos Power..."

"How could this be?"

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes, catching the key point in the words: the Creator God also had not mastered Chaos Power.

To be frank, these words are important, but Shen Qing will not miss this chance while the complete Primordial Old Man is weak.

His motto: strike while you're sick to take your life!

Shen Qing quickly formed a Five-Colour Supreme Lotus; though its power is not as great as the six‑coloured version, it is quick to conjure.

In an instant, each hand held a Five-Colour Lotus.

Shen Qing flashed to the front of the complete Primordial Old Man and shoved the two Five-Colour Lotuses into his mouth.

Boom!

Boom!

Two explosion sounds rang out; the complete Primordial Old Man's figure vanished into the light, and when the light dissipated.

The complete Primordial Old Man had already been lifted by Shen Qing with one hand gripping his neck; his limbs had completely vanished and could not regenerate, because Chaos Power wholly blocked temporal power.

The complete Primordial Old Man's voice grew hoarse: "Lord Creator God... give me one more chance... I will serve you wholeheartedly..."

Shen Qing shook his head: "Don't rush; first explain things clearly—who is the Creator God, and why do you call me the Creator God?"

And how much do you know about Chaos Power?

Promise me first you won't kill me, then I'll speak. The complete Primordial Old Man clenched his jaws; he understood this information was his only chance to survive.

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes; at that moment the defective Primordial Old Man came to his side.

Shen Qing, feel free to kill him; we share the same origin, so I can extract his memories and tell you the information you want.

You can also rest assured; I myself will not be altered, for this fragment of my life is destined to dissipate.

The defective Primordial Old Man spoke sincerely, his eyes full of desolation.

Shen Qing smiled as he looked at the complete Primordial Old Man, who then panicked completely: "No! You cannot..."

His voice cut off abruptly; Shen Qing's Chaos Power turned into a blade, directly slicing the air into a thousand sword‑lights that utterly minced the complete Primordial Old Man.
