Chapter 552: Eleven Pages of Heart Cultivation (4) The Experts Attracted by the Ordeal of Self-Loss!
Whose Loss of Self was the hardest to get through?
Of course it was Chen Ran's.
The River of Time was originally something that fundamentally didn't exist in Hell.
But it was materialized by the legendary 9th True Self Player.
It spanned across the entire nothingness, having no starting point and no ending point, being an endless river composed of countless starlights.
Because the 9th True Self Player abused time and space, it caused countless distributaries to appear in the River of Time. They gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered, making it impossible to discern the mainstream. But what could be certain was that the River of Time where the 10th True Self Player was located was the mainstream.
But even so, it couldn't be determined which one of the hundreds of millions of distributaries this mainstream flowed from.
On this mainstream, five figures sat cross-legged, three versus two, two camps.
The Trio: Two Youths with appearances seven or eight parts similar, and a woman of graceful bearing and peerless elegance, with a cold and clear countenance.
But if one observed carefully, one Youth in The Trio was very far away from the other two, or it could be said that those two were very far away from the Youth.
It seemed they were not a monolithic block among themselves either. Only because they had common interests did they join hands, spanning ancient, modern, and future times.
Dust-Ruins Transformation to God was sealed, Absolute Extinction became a Death Row inmate, and The Highest Goodness is Like Water oversaw The Eternal Land and rarely intervened in such matters. It looked like The Trio had more of an advantage.
However, right at this moment, someone upstream of the River of Time said in a clear voice: "Heaven and earth were born together with me, and all things and I are one."
Only to see a person treading the air to arrive, bypassing The Trio and sitting cross-legged by the side of The Duo.
"You came well." The Youth in The Trio who kept a distance from the other two slowly opened his eyes and looked at that person:
"Back then you ran the fastest; I didn't even have the chance to kill you. This time I'd like to see where you run to!"
"Benefactor Chen, you are attached to appearances." A compassionate voice came from upstream of the long river, seeming to have a certain magic that made the originally mutually hostile six people become peaceful. But it was only for an instant, and the six people broke free from the control.
Only to see a little monk following the River of Time down and sitting cross-legged by the side of The Duo.
Now it was: three versus four.
Except for Dust-Ruins Transformation to God, Absolute Extinction, and The Highest Goodness is Like Water, the three who couldn't be present, the remaining seven True Self Players had all arrived. They came from different times and spaces, yet were for the same person.
Just like how they stifled Dust-Ruins Transformation to God in the cradle back then, at this moment, they also wanted to resolve/save in advance...
The 10th True Self Player. Of course, it was the [One] on the true timeline.
Simply because this Skill, after being sublimated to the extreme, was truly too terrifying.
If it weren't for the fact that this place was reflected by the seven True Self Players using Distance-Free Technique, mutually eroding each other's Distance-Free Techniques, otherwise truly few people would dare to come.
Except for the three who couldn't come, the remaining True Self Players had all arrived.
The Trio was at a disadvantage.
But the configuration was luxurious.
One was a monster who possessed the ability to infinitely and eternally prohibit The Almighty's Skills, and had a spirit comparable to The All-Knowing.
One was an existence with a will of steel possessing a spirit intensity comparable to The All-Knowing.
One was a spatial Skill user possessing the most bizarre and most uncatchable abilities.
Even though it was three versus four, in a short time The Trio wouldn't be defeated, but the time on the true timeline was always moving forward.
As long as this Trio could stall until the [One] on the true timeline completed the Ego's Ordeal of Self-Loss, it would count as a victory.
However, right at this moment...
The sound of footsteps came from downstream of the River of Time.
Only to see a person shrouded in black mist going against the current. Their appearance couldn't be seen clearly, and it was unknown if they were male or female. They walked over step by step, and finally sat down not far from The All-Knowing and Almighty.
Judging from the spiritual fluctuations emanating from this person, they were also at the Half-Step True Self Mental State.
The woman in The Trio frowned, hurriedly closed her eyes, and after a moment said: "This person is not one of the three: The Highest Goodness is Like Water, Dust-Ruins Transformation to God, or Absolute Extinction."
In other words.
In Hell, there still existed an 11th player at the Half-Step True Self Mental State.
Among The Trio, the Youth who was farther away from the other two said faintly: "This is the outcome of abusing time and space Skills."
Saying this, he looked around at the seven people: "You'd better not let him repeat the same mistakes, otherwise don't even think about running away, any of you!"
Regarding this kind of words that were almost putting out ruthless talk, no one refuted. It wasn't because they were disdainful, but because this guy was the ultimate form of the 10th True Self Player. He could be said to be ridiculously strong, simply a monster.
If the him on the true timeline also repeated the same mistakes, then the remaining nine people wouldn't even have the chance to hide in other timelines.
The woman in ruqun looked at the three people opposite, stroked her beautiful hair, and said faintly: "I remember in Hell, a 12th player at the Half-Step True Self Mental State once appeared. It should be your final trump card, let him out."
As her words fell, the void by the side of the woman opposite seemed to be torn open a slit by someone.
A Youth walked out.
"Yo, worthy of being The All-Knowing. I just appeared for such a short while, and was still discovered by you. You, this All-Knowing, are much more powerful than me." The Youth's words were quite modest, but the spiritual fluctuations on his body were also an existence at the level of the Half-Step True Self Mental State.
The 12th Half-Step True Self Mental State!
"So to speak, the Lin Xuan on the true timeline is your foreshadowing?"
The Youth smiled: "Can't really call it a hidden move. It's just that on another timeline, I ruined his life, so on the true timeline I gave him some compensation."
Given the Youth's moral character, not a single person present believed this kind of words.
After speaking, the Youth looked at the person shrouded in darkness opposite, then looked at the [One] whose entire body was flooded with hostility, and shook his head helplessly.
"Sigh, it truly is, black hair in the morning, snow by evening. I didn't expect it would actually be this kind of ending. But you are all from other timelines. The you on the true timeline haven't developed to this step yet; there is still a chance."
Saying this, the Youth landed by the side of The Trio and said to the woman: "This story tells us that time and space Skills cannot be used recklessly, otherwise huge problems will occur. However, if you hadn't abused them, you wouldn't have lived until now. It doesn't matter, remember your promise to me."
Thus far.
The two camps, eight True Self Players totaling nine people, had all arrived.
Although they all came here via spiritual invasion, being powerful to their level, there was basically no difference between their spirits and True Forms anymore.
Usually, they adhered to the philosophy of Sovereign Exclusion before the final battle, rarely appearing at the same time. But at this moment, they were all attracted over by someone's Ordeal of Self-Loss.
However, those in the same camp were not necessarily in an alliance relationship either. It was just that they had the same view when facing this matter.
They waited quietly, waiting for the [One] on the true timeline to...
Lose his self!
At that time, it would be everyone showing their divine abilities. If The Trio lost, then the absolute defense they constructed in the past, future, and present would just be broken like this, and what would welcome them...
Was only a dead end!
If The Duo lost, they only lost a chance to end the opponent in advance.
This was an unfair war.
But in Hell, there fundamentally wasn't any so-called absolute fairness.
