Chapter 663: The Change of Eras

The sandstorm flowed through the monster’s body.

It silently stood still with a mocking smirk on its face.

At the very next moment.

The corners of its mouth flattened as its tone became violent:

「Get out here, do you only dare to hide in the darkness and attack when I’m not careful?」

「You can’t kill me like that!」

The Blade came from all directions, as gentle as the wind within the rolling sand, suddenly converged into a towering Blade phantom that slammed downwards — — -

Boom!

The sound of impact only lasted for a split second before it was drowned out by the howling sandstorm.

Liu Ping put his Blade away and quickly retreated.

He didn’t even bother to look at the result of this attack and continued to run away from the sandstorm.

A few dozen breaths later.

He finally made it through the layers of sandstorm and landed in front of a barren graveyard.

Someone had already been waiting here.

That person crouched on the ground, carefully observing the tombstones of the female world-class life forms one after another, then asked without turning around:

"You’re here?"

"I couldn’t not come." Liu Ping replied.

"How is it?" the person asked.

Liu Ping thought for a bit: "When my Blade pierced through its throat for the first time, I felt that something wasn’t right and immediately realized ..."

"And then?" the person continued to ask.

"That Blade strike just now was very skillful, borrowing the power of the sandstorm to slam it into the sand. That place leads to the depths of the desert, so it won’t be that easy to get out, so we were able to talk for a while." Liu Ping replied.

The person smiled and stood up: "What did you discover?"

"It was also hesitating — — should it go all out to kill me, or think of something else?" Liu Ping replied.

"So you can continue fighting it?" the person asked.

"That’s right, this is the end. In truth, I don’t need to win against it, I only need to trap it here until the future — — - its fate in the future is to be sealed away, that is the truth." Liu Ping replied.

The person slowly turned around and smiled: "As expected of me."

— — -He was also Liu Ping.

"You were worried, so you used the Warden Blade’s power to rush here from the future to take a look?" Liu Ping asked.

"That’s right, I’ve always had a deep suspicion — —" the other Liu Ping replied.

"About what?" Liu Ping asked.

"As the era that is about to end, how would we have the power to seal away an entity from the next era?

Evil Spirit should be stronger than all existences." Said Liu Ping.

"Now you know the reason?" Liu Ping asked.

"I know. It’s because at this moment in the past, I learned the knowledge of the next era and created that armor to seal it." Liu Ping said.

"Will there still be any changes?"

"Who knows? Right now, the fish is still swimming towards the future. The present determines the past and the future."

"Then, I won’t think of a way to kill it."

"Of course I won’t kill it. If it dies at this moment, it won’t exist in the future. That’s a good thing —"

Liu Ping continued, "But the entire space-time line will immediately cease to exist. The Four Great Laws will kill me."

The future him nodded and said, "That’s right, that’s why it was hesitating just now, wondering if it should take you down with it."

"That’s why I didn’t kill it. That’s the correct way to win this battle." Liu Ping said.

The future him looked around and muttered: "Only in a completely forbidden world like this can we not kill it, but also prevent it from retaliating. This is the only way."

Liu Ping said: "But — —"

"It definitely won’t be willing to be sealed in this forbidden world." the future him said.

"That’s why things will definitely change." Liu Ping added.

As soon as he said that.

Boom — —

The sound of an earthquake resounded from the desert.

The two Liu Pings held their breaths and looked over.

A figure slowly appeared.

— — it was the Evil Spirit!

It had retracted its original body and appearance, once again revealing the appearance of a woman.

She walked through the sandstorm and slowly approached.

"You’re out so quickly? Impressive indeed. "Liu Ping said sincerely.

The woman stood in front of the two Liu Pings, tilted her head to look at them, and spoke: 「I suddenly realized something.」

"Please speak." the future Liu Ping said.

「I can’t be trapped here, otherwise, I’ll be sealed forever in the future, and the change of the era will take forever.」 the woman said.

The two Liu Pings exchanged glances.

"Will it be this smart in the future?" Liu Ping asked.

"Oh no, it became smart." the future Liu Ping sighed.

The two of them drew their Blades at the same time.

The woman spoke without changing her expression: 「The battle that happened here is actually a false proposition. Because of the existence of [Absolute Prohibition], even if we fight until the end of time, the future won’t change, I’ll still be sealed in the future.」

Liu Ping spoke with a comforting tone: "How regretful, I originally wanted to keep up the act with you, but I didn’t think you’d already seen through it ... Why do you need to think so much? Seeing too clearly will only cause you pain, how about I treat you to a drink and you stay here for a while, how about that? "

One of the woman’s hands turned into a sharp bone blade.

「Although you’ve found a technique from our era that can seal my power, but ... you don’t understand us at all.」 she slowly spoke.

"That’s right, we don’t know anything about you, can you tell us a bit?" Liu Ping sincerely asked.

The woman suddenly showed a faint smile on her face.

「In the future era, we do have a technique that can seal everything, but that’s as far as you can go, because what comes next is a secret — —」

She stabbed the sharp bone blade into her chest.

Black blood immediately flowed out, while the woman also started coughing up blood.

Seeing that, Liu Ping whispered: "If it chooses to kill itself ..."

"Then, it’s the one who destroyed the space-time continuum, it has nothing to do with us." the future Liu Ping continued.

Within the sandstorm.

The woman abruptly raised the sharp bone blade and cut out a long, pale white bone from her body.

Black blood continuously oozed out of the long bone.

But the blood didn’t drip down, only circled around the bone before finally turning into a black blood flag.

"Oh no, it’s a flag bearer, this must be some kind of power that we don’t know about." the future Liu Ping said.

His figure suddenly blurred and retreated from the current space-time.

Only Liu Ping himself was left.

Liu Ping wanted to attack with his blade, but found that space-time had become as viscous as ink, unable to move at all.

The woman spoke: 「There is a power that can surpass your era, or even our era, no power can seal it — —」

「That is the change of the era!」

The woman raised the black bone flag high up and loudly declared: 「I am the flag bearer of the new era!」

Waves of fluctuations radiated from the flag, spreading across the entire world.

Liu Ping tried again, but found that he still couldn’t move at all.

This power didn’t belong to either era, it was the essence of all Laws.

The era will definitely change!

Even the [Absolute Seal] of the next era wouldn’t be able to stop this power!

Liu Ping sighed and seemed to have calmed down.

"Oi, you’re so mean, if you had such a sure-kill method, you should’ve used it earlier. You made me run all over the timeline for nothing in the end."

He complained in dissatisfaction.

The woman showed a strange expression and looked at Liu Ping: 「I didn’t want to use it, but at this point ... neither you nor I can escape!」

Liu Ping raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about?"

At the very next moment.

The flag that was completely manifested from the black blood began to give off an unstoppable power that surpassed the restraints of all Laws in the void of space and landed on Liu Ping and the woman.

"This is ..." Liu Ping muttered.

Lines of burning text quickly appeared in the void of space.

[Current world main attribute:]

[Absolute Prohibation]

[This power seals all powers of the current era and the next era]

[There is only one power that isn’t restricted by this attribute]

[— — The power of the era’s change]

[After foreseeing the current and future results, your opponent had no choice but to unleash this only power]

[Within the power of the era’s change, no existence can escape]

[The current ’change’ has begun]

[There are only two existences in this world, one of them is you, and the other is the Flag Bearer]

[This power of ’change’ will be used on both of you]

[Your races will be replaced by each other]

All the text remained still in the void of space for a while before slowly vanishing.

The woman in front of him coldly laughed and said: 「The new era will definitely surpass everything of the old era, so when I become a living being of the old era, my desire for the new era will become even stronger.」

"Then what about you?"

「When you become one of us, are you still willing to fight for the eras of the past that are about to be eliminated?」

「No, when new life and eternity surround you, no one will be reluctant to part with the past!」

「Liu Ping, welcome.」

「From now on, you are one of us.」
