Chapter 709: Frontline Battlefield

"So that's how it is."

Li Heng nodded; although he said this, there was no meaning on his face, because he had already guessed it from the very beginning, or one might even say he had seen it.

This person had an extremely strong connection of Causality with this Tianxian Guan.

"Are you not surprised, Daoist friend?"

This Tianxian Guan City Lord asked in astonishment.

"Why should I be surprised?" Li Heng countered.

The Tianxian Guan City Lord thought for a moment, "What you say also makes some sense, Daoist friend; indeed, there is no need to be surprised, but this attitude is mostly used by the strong—it seems you are no ordinary strong person."

His words held deep meaning.

He had just received a message from a Guard saying that a hotheaded youth wouldn't pay the toll, which had annoyed him, so he came over to take a look, only to find that he could not see through this person, who appeared mysterious and unfathomable.

He muttered in his heart.

Unless this person truly had the confidence to cross the Space-Time Abyss?

Thinking this way... he fell into deep thought.

However, Li Heng did not care about him; whether it was the master of Tianxian Guan, the Tianxian Guan City Lord, or even the Space-Time Abyss before him, he did not care, and he could still manage to cross it all the same.

To him, the Future Road was not a road, but rather a landmark, a kind of guide; even if there were no road and ahead lay the endless Space-Time Abyss, he could still cross it.

Li Heng took a step forward, but heard the Tianxian Guan City Lord shout from behind, "Daoist friend, wait! I have a deal here that you might be interested in; it can help you reach the Frontline Battlefield of the Future Road without spending time traversing this long, long path."

"With your confidence and mystery, Daoist friend, surely you are stepping onto the Future Road now and heading straight forward without stopping because you also want to get involved in the Frontline Battlefield and contend for that opportunity to reach the end of the Time-Space Mother River, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Heng withdrew his step and turned to look at this City Lord.

"What is this deal?"

He had to admit that he was indeed interested in this deal.

According to the Route Map in his hand, his destination should also be at the front of the Future Road. If he could cross this terrifying distance without spending time and arrive at the front of the Future Road...

That was not impossible!

"This Daoist friend, you should have heard from my words just now that although I am the City Lord of this Tianxuan Guan, my attitude toward the true master behind the Tianxuan Official is very poor."

Li Heng nodded, "And then?"

He was not interested in what was going on between the two of them.

"I was originally a supreme prodigy at the front of the Future Road, but I was defeated by the master of Tianxian Guan and humiliated by him; he said I was not qualified to explore the future anymore and could only remain in one place, at one moment, forever, and then he exiled me here to become the so-called Tianxian Guan City Lord, specifically to help him collect tolls."

"But I am not resigned, yet I cannot beat him."

"Until now, I met you, Daoist friend. I observe that your bearing is extraordinary, and you are shrouded in mist, incomparably mysterious and impossible to see clearly; you must also be a peerless great power."

"So I implore you, Daoist friend, to help me regain this face, to stop the master of Tianxian Guan from obtaining the opportunity to reach the end of the Time-Space Mother River in that Frontline Battlefield, and to vent my anger for me!"

"As long as you agree, Daoist friend, I will immediately activate the frontline as City Lord, sacrifice the Great Void Power I have been accumulating, and open the Array to let you arrive at the front of the Future Road immediately."

The Tianxian Guan City Lord said this.

"You choose me because of this? And you want me to deal with the master of Tianxian Guan, with whom I have no grudge—why should I do that?" Li Heng said with a half-smile.

The Tianxian Guan City Lord sighed.

"It is all because time is too late. The Frontline Battlefield of the Future Road has already entered a white-hot stage; the casualties are extremely tragic, which also means that the outcome is about to be decided, and the master of Tianxian Guan is the side with the advantage on the battlefield."

"If you choose to honestly traverse the Future Road, Daoist friend, you will definitely run out of time; by then, the war at the Frontline Battlefield will be over, the fruits of victory will be swallowed by others, and you will have no chance."

"That is not necessarily true."

Li Heng said with a smile, then spoke again, "However, I agree to your deal; I will help you deal with that master of Tianxian Guan. Of course, the extent to which I do so will depend on my own ability."

The Tianxian Guan City Lord was overjoyed.

"In that case, I am deeply grateful."

"We are just taking what we need."

This Tianxian Guan City Lord was a bit like someone sick grabbing at any doctor, treating a dead horse as if it were alive; he actually trusted a stranger he had just met! How should one put it—it felt a bit strange.

But let it be strange; as long as it did not affect his progress, it was fine.

Many possibilities surfaced in his mind...

After a while, the two arrived at the center of the Tianxian Guan city, where a Nine-Colored Altar stood; it looked colorful and brilliant, as if it were not of the same style as Reality at all.

"Please stand in the center of the altar, Daoist friend, and I will activate the teleportation."

The Tianxian Guan City Lord said.

Li Heng nodded, said nothing more, and stood in the center of the altar; he had already used Source Power to foresee it just now, and this was indeed a teleportation Array to the front of the Future Road.

Otherwise, he would not have agreed to this deal just now.

To him, all conspiracies and schemes had nowhere to hide.

Soon, as the Tianxian Guan City Lord used Great Void Power and continuously injected it into the Nine-Colored Altar, nine-colored light rose from the altar, shooting straight into the Void above, causing the endless Great Dao to roar.

Li Heng observed the changes within and nodded; so that was it.

He had said so—what kind of space-time method could cross such a terrifying distance? It turned out that the essence of the teleportation Array was to operate on the level of the Great Void; no wonder it required Great Void Power, and it was only by using Great Void Power that such an operation could be guaranteed to be legitimate and not cause a backlash from the Great Void.

As the nine-colored light flickered, the altar trembled violently.

Li Heng disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Seeing Li Heng completely gone, the Tianxian Guan City Lord breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to look toward the front of the Future Road, as if he could glimpse that incomparably tragic battlefield from his eyes; his gaze was deep and held a hint of coldness, and one could not tell what he was thinking.

Here is the front of the Future Road.

An extremely terrifying Zhanchang; everything—World, Great Dao, Heaven and Earth, space-time—had been smashed to pieces, and apart from fragments, there was nothing else; one could not see anything complete.

"You are all crazy, you even dare to smash the main road of the Future Road!"

"Haha, what do we not dare to do? It is for the sake of opportunity, after all; besides, he is still at the very front of the Future Road, and he is very far from us, so he cannot detect the movement here at all."

"How pitiful; he worked hard to open up the road, hoping to lead to the end of the Time-Space Mother River, but in the end, it is said that we who are not at the very front have a better chance of reaching the end."

At this moment, on this vast Zhanchang, more than a dozen powerful existences, each displaying their own Great Dao visions, surrounded a powerhouse whose back was full of blood and killing intent, and laughed like this.

At this moment, nine-colored radiance descended from above the Great Void.

Li Heng suddenly appeared within the encirclement of these experts.
