Chapter 342: Terrifying Future

Within the broken Cave Heaven left behind by the Tianming Organization.

Xuantianji's remnant phantom stood in the Void, his gaze cast toward the Center Land of the Present World, his expression complex; this aura of the future had finally appeared once again.

He had perceived this aura three times before.

The first time, it stirred no waves in the Present World, yet the Sunset Organization appeared inexplicably. The second time, the Great Clans appeared, changing the landscape of the Present World.

And the third time was when he perceived that a variable had emerged.

He had perceived that reborn one.

He felt a sense of lament in his heart.

Back then, he had invested in that variable reborn one, but now that variable was like mud that could not be plastered onto a wall; his current strength, potential, and everything else were being crushed by this Li Jushi, this fellow Daoist Li.

Let alone the current him, even at his peak, he would not be a match for this fellow Daoist Li in a single exchange. If he had known it would come to this, he would have been better off gambling and investing in this fellow Daoist Li instead.

So now, should he abandon his original plan?

"The future, ah, the future..."

He murmured to himself.

As an existence who cultivates the Heavenly Secret Path and involves the River of Time, he could faintly glimpse a corner of the future—it was a desperate World destined to slide into ruin, yet also a grand carnival.

If this destined future is not resolved.

Even if this fellow Daoist Li takes another step forward.

It would be of no avail.

But the problem is that the future is ethereal and possesses Infinite possibilities; this destined future is hidden among the many possibilities of the future, so let alone resolving it, it is difficult even to find.

Unless...

He fell into deep thought, and soon let out a sigh.

Forget it, let me move these old bones of mine once more.

The Center Land.

Li Heng noticed the actions of the Great Clans but did not act immediately.

He was also quite curious: what would the Great Clans summon with such a ritual? The so-called ancestors do not come from the past, but from the future? That would truly be very interesting.

This also seemed to explain the words of the ancient sages from before.

There were no Great Clans in the ancient era.

Yet the Great Clans suddenly popped up.

Could it be that the origin of the Great Clans stems from the future?

The future projecting back into the past?

Li Heng could not help but think of what that Immortal God figure had said back then.

This World has a future destined to slide into ruin, destined for despair, and because this future has already become fate, even if it has not happened, it is already destined to come true; it is no longer ethereal, and things from the future are fully capable of interfering with the present and the past.

The appearance of the Great Clans, or even the Sunset Organization, and that future reborn one—are they all the handiwork of certain things in the future?

Judging from the current situation.

The Great Clans and the Sunset Organization are of no benefit to Heaven and Earth; the existence of these two things will instead cause Heaven and Earth to further deteriorate, leading the future toward an unfathomable Abyss.

And that future reborn one.

Currently, there is no harm, nor is there any benefit.

Perhaps there are two factions involved in this matter?

Li Heng pondered secretly, and the fog in his heart gradually dissipated.

He also roughly understood why the future wanted to interfere with the past and the present; it was nothing more than to ensure the destined future proceeds smoothly and to resolve some variables that block the destined future, such as himself.

After all, the future is only the future; once it is not destined, it is merely an Illusion, which would be equivalent to everything in that future era turning back into something fake. How could those beings of the future endure that?

Moreover, he also suspected that this was related to the Disaster and Pollution.

At the thought of this, Li Heng's scalp went numb again.

The past has been eroded and fallen, and the future has been destined.

Only a faint glimmer of hope remains in the present.

What kind of hell-difficulty World is this?

No wonder that Immortal God figure wanted to give up so badly.

If he didn't have a cheat, he would give up too and just run away.

In fact, the Great Clans were a bit foolish.

This is not to say that the summoning ritual was not going smoothly—everything was going very smoothly—but before their summoning ritual could be completed, the blood-colored figure that had been suppressing Li Heng was directly defeated and killed.

That was a disaster.

This peerless fierce person would surely take advantage of them performing the summoning ritual to strike while they were vulnerable; he would never give them the chance to summon their ancestors, so many experts were already in despair.

But they waited for a long time.

They did not wait for Li Heng to strike, and they remained safe and sound.

Suddenly, they were stunned.

Could it be that the peerless fierce person did not notice?

That is impossible.

Unless...

Suddenly, they thought of a certain possibility, and as they faintly sensed the gaze Li Heng cast their way, a feeling of grief and indignation rose in their hearts instantly; they felt as if they were monkeys trapped under the Five Elements Mountain.

This peerless fierce person did not take them seriously at all; he knew they were holding a summoning ritual, yet he allowed them to proceed, treating them as ants. Did he really think he had already won!

The many experts looked at each other, what should be done?

But in the end, they chose to continue, to keep summoning; this was their last hope for a comeback, and they also felt that their chances of winning were high.

This fierce man simply does not understand the Terror of their ancestors!

At this moment, the other powerhouses of the Present World finally recovered from the lingering shock of Li Heng blowing up the blood-colored figure with a single punch; they sobered up, and one after another, they gasped, no longer knowing how to imagine this.

If their senses were not wrong, this fierce man was a realm lower than that blood-colored figure before, so why, after breaking free from the suppression, could he blow up the blood-colored figure with one punch?

Is this Reasonable?

Those ten ancient sages also looked at Li Heng with eyes like they were looking at a monster. They suddenly felt, did they come to this current era for nothing?

Sensing the gazes of the sages, Li Heng smiled and spoke.

"Just an occasional breakthrough, no need to be surprised."

The sages nodded numbly.

What is meant by an occasional breakthrough?

Having reached their level, taking one more step upward is extremely difficult, and you tell me it's an occasional breakthrough? This should be called ascending to the heavens in one step, directly breaking through a major realm!

"Fellow Daoist Li, what these aristocratic families are doing is very dangerous."

At this time, the leading Kong Sheng took a deep breath and warned.

Li Heng nodded.

"I know this; they are likely summoning beings from the future, and the future is ethereal and uncertain, with Infinite possibilities; it is even possible for an existence stronger than me to suddenly pop out."

"Then why do you..."

Before Kong Sheng could finish saying the words "not stop them," Li Heng spoke again to interrupt Kong Sheng. "No matter, no matter, I have already considered it and have a strategy to deal with it."

He smiled slightly.

Could he say this was because he had ten million Source Power?

It was not that he couldn't say it, just that there was no need.

After all, even the Immortal God figure of the World Creation Realm did not know what Source Power was, let alone the ancient sages of the Void Heaven Realm.

"The future should have been ethereal and void, without True Reality. Yet, this aura gives me a feeling that is so vivid; how strange."

Han Sheng of Legalism frowned.

Li Heng shook his head.

"You all do not know, this is because the future is already destined, and thus, in the dark, it has already transformed into True Reality, capable of interfering with the present and the past in a truly real and non-void manner."

He spoke the desperate truth of this World.

The ancient sages were shaken upon hearing this and fell into silence.

They had thought of this possibility, but in the end, it was only a thought.

But now, it had been confirmed.

What kind of terrifying Disaster is this?

At this time, the wind and clouds between Heaven and Earth changed suddenly.

The River of Time, which was originally ethereal and flowed between all things in Heaven and Earth, actually manifested in reality, and at the downstream end of that river, a touch of black appeared.

Murmuring sounds and squirming sounds came from the black end.

"All trash, it still requires this deity to strike across eras."

The indifferent voice crossed the River of Time.

It resounded throughout Xianshi Tiandi!
