Chapter 388: Slaying the Time Master, Scheming Against Legendary Strongmen!
Boom……
Boom……
Hiss…… Hiss……
In the void.
A fierce duel is in full swing.
One side is a level‑142 mid‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi called "Time Blade Master".
The other side is the "Steam Master" Ta Ke.
During their duel.
Time in the Time Blade Master's hand is like a void phantom, sometimes dispersing, sometimes coalescing.
The Time Blade Master's form also floats unpredictably, like a shadow following a shape, rapidly pursuing Ta Ke.
The time blade transforms into a torrent of time, continuously slashing toward Ta Ke.
Ta Ke, meanwhile, fully unleashes the Steam Light Feather Blade.
In the skirmish, the Light Feather Blade constantly turns into sharp light blades, striking at the Time Blade Master.
The Time Blade Master's "Time Old Shadow" technique is employed with great subtlety.
Time Old Shadow is a temporal method that condenses past time into a shadow of the body.
Each time it blocks Ta Ke's Light Feather Blade, it leaves behind a trace of Time Old Shadow.
When Ta Ke's Light Feather Blade shatters a Time Old Shadow, the Time Blade Master gains a brief temporal boost and then pursues Ta Ke.
Its time blade occasionally slashes Ta Ke's body.
But Ta Ke's forbidden curse "Crystal Wall Realm Armor" has already helped him block the time blade's strikes dozens of times.
At this moment, the number of spectators on both sides is also huge.
On the Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm ship, over thirty Chao Shen Da Shi are watching the battle from afar by various means.
These over thirty Chao Shen Da Shi include not only the Chao Shen Da Shi from Zi Yulan's side.
There are also the Chao Shen Da Shi from the Alumofu Half‑God World who have been supporting Zi Yulan's Chao Shen Da Shi realm for over a year.
And Mo Lei·Shen Ting and the Chao Shen Da Shi of the Foreign Divine Alliance number even more—well over a hundred.
They lurk near the outpost, observing remotely.
Some Chao Shen Da Shi who came out of curiosity scrutinize the distant battle, and for a moment confusion and doubt surge in their minds.
"I heard that on this battlefield, there are Chao Shen Da Shi engaged in life‑or‑death duels."
"That newly‑promoted Steam Master Ta Ke has already slashed eleven opponents, most of whom are mid‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi above level 140; lately his fame has skyrocketed."
"They claim he's unbeatable among his peers!"
"I even rushed over today to watch."
"From what I see, being chased and battered wildly doesn't look that great!"
A Chao Shen Da Shi, after watching for a moment, speaks with great confusion.
"Even this can be unbeatable among peers?"
Listening to this newly arrived mid‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi's commentary.
Many lower‑tier and mid‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi turn to look.
"Has Ta Ke been injured?" someone asks with a chuckle.
"Hmm… seems not yet; his forbidden‑curse shield hasn't been broken!"
"That's right then."
"What do you mean 'that's right'?"
"When that guy earns the right to break the Steam Master Ta Ke's shield, you'll understand what a caster truly is!"
"What does that mean?" the newly arrived Chao Shen Da Shi asks, slightly puzzled.
"The shield is about to break; watch closely and you'll get it!"
Immediately, the newcomer Chao Shen Da Shi scrutinizes the scene.
In the void.
The Time Blade Master, swiftly chasing upward, his hand gripping a transparent voidal legendary time sword, suddenly unleashes a sharp burst.
Five or six blade rays slash at Ta Ke's forbidden‑curse shield.
Finally!
The forbidden‑curse shield, lacking any subsequent source‑energy replenishment, shatters on the spot with a "Kacha!"
Many veteran spectators immediately hold their breath.
Shield shattered.
Only now does the Steam Master truly begin his technique.
"Die!"
The Time Blade Master growls low.
The time rune's profound art fully blossoms at this moment, his speed seeming to surpass the very trajectory of time.
The time blade further transforms into notes of death.
In the void, it plays a magnificent movement of death.
A strand of blade light, perfectly aligning with the trace of time, slashes toward the retreating Ta Ke.
This slash leaves many mid‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi staring fixedly.
After all, many of them might not be able to block this slash.
At the same time.
Buzz!
A deep, vast steam roar that makes every Chao Shen Da Shi state tremble slightly, bursts forth.
The entire spacetime shudders in this star‑like roaring echo.
Ta Ke's figure darts backward rapidly.
Sizzle!
That mid‑level Chao Shen Da Shi's ultimate time slash lands on Ta Ke's body, which shines like a burst of light.
Ta Ke's body shatters with a pop, like a bubble.
This scene makes many Chao Shen Da Shi's pupils contract sharply.
"Again, this move."
"Damn, he still dodged it."
"This marvelous light‑dark bubble is wielded by that guy far too skillfully."
"Exactly, this technique let that guy evade countless powerful moves."
"I really don't know how that guy intertwines such shadows and light together."
"Last time, a desperate death‑blow from some guy was all dodged by this Ta Ke."
"I saw that match; that Chao Shen Da Shi must have died of shock on the spot."
"Here it comes!"
"Hehe… the newcomer better watch closely!"
"The Steam Wizard's forbidden strike is coming."
The Time Blade on each side of the duel sees his own slash miss, and his eye corner twitches instantly.
He clearly locked onto the opponent using the time thread; it was a slash he was sure would hit.
But it missed.
"Cunning guy!"
The Time Blade curses angrily, yet understands that what's next is his flight.
If he can't escape, he'll die!
Ta Ke had fought fifteen rounds before.
Among them, eleven opponents didn't escape.
"Go!"
The Time Blade immediately retreats; at the same high‑speed flight, he pulls out a teleport scroll—this is a void area where spacetime teleport stones are unrestricted.
But as soon as it activates, the spacetime teleport scroll has no effect!
"This… damn, his recent steam roar is shaking and affecting this side of the world."
The Time Blade's complexion changes dramatically.
Immediately!
"Boom…"
The terrifying forbidden star explosion, with an extremely strong death‑push force, pierces the Time Master State and the Time Master Sequence Tree.
The time within the Time Master State is stirred into chaos.
Rattle‑rattle…
His body, inside and out, ignites with scorching heat.
Then a meteor shower falls.
Each strike smashes into the Time Master's body.
As the meteor shower falls.
"Sizzle!"
A flash of astonishing arrows instantly pierces the unguarded Time Master Sequence Tree.
"Rumble…"
The rumbling of the collapsing time world spreads through the surrounding void.
"Alas! Another one died."
"This must be… the twelfth Chao Shen Da Shi!"
"Yes, and also a mid‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi."
"Sixteen fights, twelve dead."
"Still that familiar forbidden triple combo."
"Everyone knows this forbidden triple combo, but it's hard to dodge."
"Someone had dodged before, yet Ta Ke didn't pursue a killing blow, evidently fearing the strong ones on his side."
With the fall of the Level‑142 Time Blade in the void, the strong on both sides chatter.
"Damned Ta Ke, is there no one who can subdue him?"
"A high‑level Chao Shen Da Shi could."
"Unfortunately, this Ta Ke only accepts challenges below Level 150; after all, he's only Level 112."
"When's the next match?"
"I don't know—maybe a week later, maybe half a month later."
"If only a Legendary Master could ambush that guy once."
"What we can think of, they can think of too."
"That guy named Ta Ke is still sharp!"
He was right near the Boundary Ship; the last time, an Insect Race tried to open a spacetime wormhole gate for support, but the portal just fluctuated, and he fled at once.
Did you see that shadow bubble he just made? That was called a proficiency.
A Legendary Strongman doesn't even get a chance to act.
Indeed, if there were a chance, would a Legendary Strongman let this guy be so arrogant?
All fights are over, disperse quickly!
At that moment, a senior Chao Shen Da Shi swiftly issued a warning to disperse.
Watch out for that shameless demigod ambush by A Lu Mo Fu.
Following the senior Chao Shen Da Shi's dispersal warning.
The many Chao Shen Da Shi of Mo Lei·Shen Ting then scattered.
In the void, as the Time Master's Master Sequence World collapsed.
Ta Ke silently jumped back to.
The Four-tusk Elephant within the Boundary Ship, amid the hazy gray mist.
Luo Mo Si was already waiting here.
Seeing Ta Ke arrive, Luo Mo Si immediately lowered his voice.
"How's it going?"
Ta Ke thought carefully for a moment and said.
"That guy has been secretly observing, many times already."
"Or is it that legendary warrior 'Ai Wen'?"
"Yes!"
"Can we pinpoint him?"
After a moment of thought, Ta Ke responded.
"I've sensed the Divine Power Scroll permeating for a long time; hitting that guy is no problem! But that guy wears demigod battle armor, so the Divine Power Scroll might not be able to kill him."
"Even if it can't kill him, at least it can severely wound that guy."
"And that... is enough!"
Luo Mo Si said earnestly.
"After all, such opportunities are few now."
"Currently, every front and battlefield is engaged in fierce clashes and sparring, a restless atmosphere."
"In the past year and a bit, the tide of the great counteroffensive has gradually risen."
"We need to seize this final chance."
Ta Ke thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Since that's the case, let's inform Demigod Lord A Lu Mo Fu, and in the next battle we use the Divine Power Scroll to snipe the Legendary one."
This has been coming in for half a year.
Ta Ke, Mo Lei·Shen Ting, and the Chao Shen Da Shi of the Foreign Divine Alliance fought sixteen consecutive matches.
It seemed like combat and slaughter, draining the opponent.
In reality, it was just looking for a chance against that Legendary Strongman.
After all, a Legendary Strongman won't just walk over and take Ta Ke's Divine Power Scroll attack head‑on.
Ta Ke, leaning near the Boundary Ship, isn't afraid of the Legendary Strongman coming over; he looks for any chance.
If he can't find one, Ta Ke can still likely slay a Chao Shen Da Shi.
With his powerful High-dimensional Matrix insight, Ta Ke, combined with the Master·Five-Star Avatar, radiates starlight across the cosmos, giving him the right to do so.
In fact, Ta Ke actually found the Legendary Strongman's thread.
And the next round of clashes.
Is the moment for that Legendary Strongman to receive a greeting from the Steam Master!
