Chapter 345: Spacetime Coordinate

The ten ancient sages and Xuantianji were all stunned.

Just when they thought everything was beyond saving and that Reality was doomed to fall, Li Heng, whom they had deemed a failure and already dead, suddenly popped back out.

And then, he blew up that Terror figure with a single punch?

What was this supposed to be?

They felt somewhat disheveled in the wind.

"Why, are you all surprised that I'm still alive?"

Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Both sides exchanged a glance, then nodded blankly.

That's right, they were indeed very surprised.

They even felt a bit frantic inside.

Especially Xuantianji; if he weren't already near death himself, he would have had the urge to commit suicide. Had he known Li Heng was this powerful, he wouldn't have jumped out.

He had exhausted all his essence, energy, and spirit, burned his own spacetime traces, and intended to stake his life for a final glimmer of hope, only to fail in the end.

Failure was failure; at least he had tried, and it could be considered his final contribution to protecting the Present World; he hadn't lived in vain.

But now?

Li Heng suddenly popped out and, with a light punch, resolved the crisis he had risked his life to solve, allowing the Present World to return to peace and no longer face the calamity of world destruction.

He couldn't say this was bad.

In fact, he even had to be grateful to Li Heng.

After all, if Li Heng hadn't acted at the final moment, the Present World would certainly have fallen, and once it fell, there would be no hope left.

But, since that was the case.

Why didn't you, old man, act sooner!

Xuantianji felt so depressed he could vomit blood; his mind was so disordered that he even addressed Li Heng as an old man. He now felt that his act of risking his life to jump out had no meaning at all, and he had thrown his life away for nothing.

Are you happy now?

His own essence, energy, spirit, and spacetime traces were completely burned.

He had to die whether he wanted to or not.

"Alright, alright, don't be so surprised."

Seeing both sides silent, Li Heng shook his head and continued to focus his main attention on Xuantianji. "Speaking of which, what exactly are you trying to do, old man? Burning yourself up—planning to commit suicide?"

Xuantianji no longer had the strength to answer and nodded blankly.

He was going to die anyway.

"You really want to commit suicide? If that's really the case, I won't stop you." Li Heng said with a subtle tone and a smile.

"Li Jushi does not need to stop me."

Xuantianji snorted coldly.

This Li Jushi was too long-winded.

Although Li Heng's realm was higher than his now, logically he should be more respectful, but thinking that he was about to die, he couldn't be bothered to care about so much. It was a case of "when a man is dying, his words are not kind."

Of course, he didn't resent Li Heng.

After all, it was he himself who had foolishly jumped out.

However, after thinking about it, he felt he had to explain things, so he softened his tone, speaking like an old man with one foot in the grave, "I have some things to tell you here."

"Then hurry up and say it, lest you die before you finish and leave people hanging." Li Heng waved his hand, urging him ruthlessly.

Xuantianji fell into a brief silence.

But he felt as if his lungs were about to explode with anger.

He wondered if he shouldn't have said so much?

Sigh, forget it, for the sake of all living beings in the Present World.

Finding an excuse to ignore Li Heng's words, he sighed in his heart and continued to speak.

"That Terror figure comes from the future. I cultivate the Heavenly Secret Path and once caught a glimpse of the future; it is a future destined for despair, but for the Terror figure and those things already infected and distorted, it is a grand carnival."

"If things continue to develop toward that future, then although all things and living beings in the Present World will not be completely extinct, they will slowly be infected to adapt to Heaven and Earth, turning into brand new species, brand new monsters, completely branded by that power."

"This kind of future is even more terrifying than pure destruction."

"Therefore, do not expect those brand new species and races to be of one mind with the current living beings of the Present World, even if their forms are normal, like the human race."

Xuantianji's words carried a strange infectious power, making the listener feel as if they could truly witness that crazy, Weird, and desperate future, feeling it as if it were their own.

"Old man, get to the point; what should be done?"

Li Heng spoke indifferently, very ruthlessly.

Xuantianji's heart twitched.

He pretended not to hear and continued.

"To avoid that kind of future, one must destroy that kind of future. However, you also know that the future is ethereal and uncertain, with Infinite possibilities; unless one can obtain the accurate spacetime coordinate, it is impossible to lock onto that desperate future."

"If you cannot lock onto it, you cannot talk about destroying or changing it."

"So you have the coordinate?"

Kong Sheng, the leader among the sages, spoke up.

He had to speak; if Li Heng interrupted again, he seriously suspected that this junior who had burned everything to protect the Present World would be angered to the point of exploding by Fellow Daoist Li.

Although the man was about to leave, he couldn't leave like this.

It would be a disgrace to civility.

"I do not have the coordinate, but when I was confronting that Terror figure just now, I captured a wisp of his aura; perhaps I can use that aura to lock onto the spacetime coordinate of that future."

Xuantianji extended his palm, within which a wisp of yin energy swirled.

This wisp of yin energy seemed to possess intelligence, darting about incessantly as if trying to escape the range of Xuantianji's palm, but each time it neared the edge, it was bounced back.

It was just like a monkey on the palm of the Tathagata.

Li Heng nodded, lost in thought.

"This matter is actually quite interesting."

He remarked.

Because he discovered that after so long, he still hadn't received a notification of Source Power being credited, which clearly meant the main body of that Terror figure had not been destroyed.

Even though he had just beaten that main body until it wailed.

It seems these things are truly hard to kill.

He might really have to make a trip to that future to thoroughly put an end to this so-called destined and locked-in future. Anyway, as long as he found the accurate spacetime coordinates, it wouldn't be a difficult task.

A future full of monsters, full of all sorts of bizarre things.

That was an excellent hunting ground, teeming with Source Power!

Li Heng suddenly became interested.

He also thought of the future reincarnator he had encountered before. Perhaps he could use this wisp of aura in Xuantianji's hand, then use that future reincarnator as a guide to pierce through the fog of the Infinite future, obtain the accurate spacetime coordinates, and arrive in the future.

The monsters of the future dare to kill their way to the Present World.

Then it is only reasonable for him in the present to kill his way to the future, right?

"You are not bad."

Connecting everything together, Li Heng nodded in satisfaction, feeling that this plan was feasible, and immediately patted Xuantianji on the shoulder to show he was very pleased.

"Hand it over!"

Li Heng waved his large hand and snatched the aura from Xuantianji's palm. Then, with a thought, his divine sense searched the entire Heaven and Earth of the Present World, and he quickly locked onto the information of that future reincarnator, Xiao Hao.

He did not delay any further.

He took a step out, striding into the Void, intending to have a chat with this aristocratic family young master. He left only this sentence behind:

"Leave the rest to you all; resolve the aristocratic families cleanly. Oh, right, there are a few people who don't need to be resolved; although they are people of the aristocratic families, they can be considered my friends and family..."

Seeing Li Heng be so impolite, not only snatching the aura from his hand directly but also leaving behind such a long string of instructions for them to do his bidding, Xuantianji was instantly hopping mad.

He didn't care anymore; he was going to die anyway.

He hurriedly began to curse Li Heng!

Only after cursing enough for eighty-one times did he feel his mood lighten; he turned his head to look at the ten Ancient Sages and began to talk to himself, settling his final affairs.

"In the future, the Present World will still need to rely on you fellow Daoists. As for Fellow Daoist Li, I have no intention of resenting him; in the end, it was my own doing."

"Fellow Daoist Li's attitude just now might have been because he was displeased with me being so radical and resolute, not waiting for him to act and adding meaningless casualties."

Xuantianji shook his head, sighing with disappointment.

Suddenly, he realized something was wrong. So much time had passed, and he had cursed a full eighty-one times, so why hadn't he been burned away?

Xuantianji looked at the Ancient Sages.

Seeing the Ancient Sages casting strange gazes at him, he subconsciously looked at his own body and was instantly stunned.

Wait, why were the flames gone?

He was dumbfounded.
