Chapter 1991 - 1252: Pangu Makes His Move (Part 2)
CHAPTER 1991: CHAPTER 1252: PANGU MAKES HIS MOVE (PART 2)
Under the entanglement of the Destiny Demon, the Space-Time Demon was powerless to strike at Jiang Chen.
Afterwards, even the Chaos Demigod discovered Jiang Chen, but by then, he was too caught up in his own affairs and even less likely to target Jiang Chen.
Finally, the Pangu Great God also noticed Jiang Chen. He was momentarily stunned, following which he emitted a surprised exclamation. Then came the destruction of Primordial Chaos, engulfing him once more.
Time continued to move forward, bringing the past to the present, allowing Jiang Chen to witness the changes in the Primordial World from the perspective of an observer. This led to many insights forming in his heart, raising his level of enlightenment slightly.
Afterwards, the River of Space-Time carried Jiang Chen away from the present, flowing towards the future.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Chen, a light from an axe, crossing the vast spacetime, was following his steps from behind, i.e., from the past.
"Hmm?"
"The future belonging to the Prehistoric World is gone?"
"It seems the River of Space-Time is incomplete and cannot deduce all futures."
Upon arriving in the future, Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the future of the Primordial World was gradually becoming obscure, as though shrouded by a mysterious mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
This is understandable, as after all, the Primordial World is of a half-step Eternal level world. If the Space-Time Demon successfully attains the Dao, then the River of Space-Time could naturally unfold the future of the Primordial World.
Yet, the current River of Space-Time is merely a half-finished product, its power limited, and it is normal to be inadequate in the face of the high-level Primordial World.
The future is boundless, and almost all areas are shrouded by a mysterious mist. The only thing Jiang Chen can see is the continuously expanding Chaos.
Indeed, from the moment of its birth, Chaos has been expanding relentlessly, and even in the future it does not stop. It becomes larger and more vast.
However, Chaos is not an eternal existence; its power has limits. In this unrestrained expansion, Chaos finally meets its zenith.
At the very start, where Hongmeng and the Great Dao were born, Chaos suddenly collapsed, transforming entirely into nothingness.
This is the Epoch Catastrophe, the calamity meant to destroy Chaos, returning everything to void.
The Epoch Catastrophe erupted, with Chaos collapsing from the central region and rapidly spreading outward.
Yet, even under such circumstances, Chaos continued to expand. The inner part collapsed, while the outer continued expanding.
"This..."
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Chen was stunned.
He clearly saw that although the speed of Chaos’s collapse was accelerating, the speed of its expansion was also increasing. If this trend continued, the speed of destruction would at most be equal to the speed of expansion.
Meaning, one could avoid the Epoch Catastrophe as long as they stayed at the edge of Chaos?
Jiang Chen couldn’t comprehend that the Epoch Catastrophe was breaking Chaos in this manner. He always thought that once Chaos reached its limit, it would suddenly disintegrate as a whole, leading to simultaneous destruction.
"No, it’s just a matter of time. Without achieving Eternal, the concept of limit doesn’t exist. Chaos’s power is exhausted; it cannot expand limitlessly."
Jiang Chen long denied his idea, and indeed, as he anticipated, Chaos’s expansion did not last much longer. One day, it suddenly stopped. Then, the entire Chaos faced its destruction.
At this moment, Jiang Chen felt a profound despair from the heart; the concept of his existence was vanishing, turning him gradually into nothingness.
With Chaos collapsing, naturally being brought here by the River of Space-Time meant he would also return to nothingness with Chaos.
This was the second deadly strike of the Time and Space Demons, sending Jiang Chen to the end of Chaos to perish with it.
"There is great opportunity between life and death; this saying hasn’t deceived me. Though caught by the Space-Time Demon’s divine ability, risking annihilation, I also witnessed the transition from nothingness to existence, and from existence to nothingness."
"This experience is the greatest opportunity; so long as I live, it can surely transform into the foundation of my attainment of Eternal."
Jiang Chen sprang up resolutely, channeling all his accumulated power into the Reincarnation Wheel, fully reviving its might, preparing to break the binding of space-time and establish contact with Thunder Marsh.
As Chaos is destroying, the River of Space-Time naturally is not an exception. This can be said to be the weakest moment for the River of Space-Time.
Whether it is a disaster or a blessing depends entirely on this moment!
BOOM!
A dragon-like snake mark filled the entire void, with terrifying reincarnation power surging, assimilating all the surrounding space-time power, thus spreading outward.
But at this moment, the phantoms of the Time and Space Demons emerged, giving Jiang Chen a cold smile: "We were prepared for you!"
How could the two not know that the moment Chaos collapses is when the River of Space-Time is weakest? Hence, they had long left behind contingencies to prevent Jiang Chen from escaping.
BOOM!
By unknown means, the two caused the destruction speed of the River of Space-Time to suddenly increase, and the surrounding power of reincarnation, influenced by it, also began to extinguish.
"You all!"
Divine ability broken, Jiang Chen’s path to survival was cut, and at this moment, he was also affected by the Epoch Catastrophe, making his body completely transparent.
"Haha, Jiang Chen, go to your death in peace. Without you, the Primordial Chaos is ours to control."
Seeing Jiang Chen’s transformation, the Time Storm God couldn’t help but let out a satisfied laugh. He knew Jiang Chen was doomed, that the time would not be long, maybe even the next moment.
"Dream on if you want me dead."
The situation was dire, but Jiang Chen did not despair, for he still had a means of escape. However, the cost of this method was enormous, originally he did not intend to use it, but now, at such a desperate junction, he had no choice.
"Reincarnation Wheel, explode for me!"
At the last moment, Jiang Chen hardened his heart, preparing to self-destruct the Reincarnation Wheel.
No matter how strong the Space-Time Demon is, it has not reached the Eternal Level. Yet the Reincarnation Wheel is the strongest Chaos Treasure, and if it explodes, even the peak-time Space-Time Demon would be severely injured, let alone a broken River of Space-Time.
Only by self-destructing the Reincarnation Wheel, Jiang Chen could immediately escape, and heavily injure, or even kill the two Demons of Time and Space.
However, the Reincarnation Wheel is Jiang Chen’s Dao-Bearing instrument, his most powerful means. Destroying it would cost Jiang Chen so dearly it would feel like death itself, no less than being killed.
"If I can obtain the Fallen Land of the Space-Time Demon and Destiny Demon, destroying the Reincarnation Wheel would be within an acceptable range."
Constantly consoling himself, Jiang Chen ignited the core of the Reincarnation Wheel. Yet at this moment, the unexpected occurred; a bright beam of light burst forth, abruptly severing the River of Space-Time!
"This..."
The Time Storm God’s laughter abruptly halted, and Jiang Chen’s action to self-destruct the Reincarnation Wheel also stopped; he was saved.
Under his feet, the dazzling beam of light erupted, isolating him from the Epoch Catastrophe. Yes, this axe light came down, severing the River of Space-Time on the eve of the Epoch Catastrophe’s eruption.
In front of Jiang Chen, the Epoch Catastrophe was still rising, but it could no longer harm him.
"Pangu!"
The Space Devil roared in anger.
This ray of light was indeed emitted by the Pangu Great God, or rather, by the Pangu Great God of the past.
Pangu Great God, infinitely powerful, discerned Jiang Chen’s relationship with him and his plight the moment he saw him.
For this reason, he let out an exclamation of surprise. Then, without hesitation, he slashed out an axe.
Even to Pangu Great God, Jiang Chen was special. No matter what one says, no other time had the opening of the Prehistoric World touched upon the Eternal level until under Jiang Chen’s reign.
This uniqueness allowed the Pangu Great God to see the possibility of achieving eternity through him. So, he sought to protect Jiang Chen and even offer him some aid.
What Jiang Chen could see, the Pangu Great God could also perceive. Whether it was the Space-Time Demon or the Destiny Demon, they were akin to his existence. If the Primordial World could devour this power, significant changes would inevitably occur, propelling his transformation.
Having seen this, the Pangu Great God had no reason to miss these two powers. Therefore, he had to take action. Whether to save Jiang Chen or to seize these powers.
