Chapter 2135 - 2134: One Slash Retraces to Origin, the Inheritance Appears

Located within the Divine Continent, Xu Zimei received perfect protection.

However, there was also a problem; although the Power of Time couldn't harm him, he seemed unable to leave.

The entire Sea of Time was targeting him.

The Power of Time around him, although isolated, was still pressing in from all sides, trying to trap Xu Zimei here, and slowly take him down.

"Which presence is here? Could it be the Time Ancient God?" Xu Zimei shouted.

After a moment of silence, a deep voice resonated.

"Time and space has long died. I have no title; I am merely the consciousness born from this Sea of Time."

"I am Time itself, and Time is I."

"As expected, the Sea of Time has birthed a consciousness," Xu Zimei realized to himself.

Then he said, "I have no enmity with you. I came here only for the legacy of the Time Ancient God, so why trap me?"

"The Sea of Time is based on inheritance. You seized the inheritance, causing the God of Time's resentful thoughts to disperse. Then, this Sea of Time would cease to exist."

The voice continued.

"And I rely on the Sea of Time. Without it, I will also disappear into nothingness.

Through the years, countless people entered the Sea of Time seeking inheritance, but all perished—including you!"

Hearing these words, Xu Zimei knew there was no room for negotiation.

After all, the inheritance is linked with another's life, and neither side would yield.

Xu Zimei looked around, as an endless flow of the Power of Time continued to gather.

"You are, until now, the strongest person I've seen to come here.

No one withstands the erosion of time, but you have done so."

The hidden voice responded.

"But it's fine, even if it takes time, I can wear you down."

Xu Zimei ceased dialogue with the entity, sitting cross-legged—he wasn't afraid in the short term.

He intended to continue comprehending the Great Dao. As long as his strength was sufficiently powerful, no form of the Power of Time could restrain him.

Ultimately, if he could harness a stronger Power of the Great Dao, he could break through the Sea of Time directly.

Xu Zimei placed the Tyrant Shadow on his knees, calming himself to earnestly comprehend.

But the surrounding Power of Time kept trying to disrupt Xu Zimei, which was somewhat irritating to him.

He frowned slightly, suddenly having another new idea.

Why not comprehend time?

He had always had the habit of creating his own blade techniques, from his studies and experiences, grasping his own Great Dao, creating his blade technique.

But for a long time, he hadn't created any blade techniques due to insufficient enlightenment.

What if he could truly incorporate time into creation? Could he break through the current situation?

To use time to oppose time.

Putting thought into action, this time facing the erosion of the Power of Time, Xu Zimei did not resist, but slowly went to understand time.

What is time?

There's no need to think deeply; every minute and second you experience is time.

Some have mastered time, thus gaining abilities like reversing the world, fast-forwarding time, and freezing time.

And if these abilities are expanded upon, the concept of time travel emerges.

However, only the Time Ancient God might achieve this level; others simply cannot.

Then what is the end of time?

Xu Zimei continued contemplating, continually grasping enlightenment.

He felt he was in a strange loop: if he couldn't truly understand time, how could he truly comprehend it?

Thus, he sat cross-legged, within the Sea of Time, as more and more Power of Time poured into his body.

Xu Zimei sometimes reverted to childhood, appearing as a child, and sometimes aged, looking like an elderly man at twilight.

He experimented on himself, continuously seeking understanding.

Xu Zimei did not know how long time had passed, for within time, there was no concept of time.

When you comprehend time, you will thoroughly forget about time.

Then one day, Xu Zimei suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had realized something.

His eyes pierced through layers of the Power of Time, able to see deep into the Sea of Time.

"The end of time is origin," Xu Zimei murmured to himself.

But his eyes were lively and bright!

Yes, it's origin.

When something does not exist, it naturally does not need to experience time.

But from the day you were born, even when you were still in your mother's womb, the concept of time already existed.

With origin, time exists.

A murderous weapon, what is its origin?

Maybe iron formed in the world, then forged into a weapon—its origin is the beginning of time.

At this moment, Xu Zimei seemingly opened Pandora's box, and the Power of Time around him began to reverse flow.

The Tyrant Shadow in his hand seemed to sense something, trembling continuously.

"Boom, boom, boom."

At this moment, the Divine Continent behind Xu Zimei had disappeared; without relying on the Divine Continent, Xu Zimei no longer feared the Power of Time.

"What's happening?" The hidden voice was somewhat confused.

It seemed it had never encountered such a situation before.

At this moment, Xu Zimei slowly stood up.

His whole body's Blade Intent had surprisingly fused perfectly with the Power of Time, seemingly well-matched, completely uncontrolled.

Xu Zimei looked up, gazing at the top of the Sea of Time.

Calmly raising his blade, he lightly said: "This blade is named Retracing Origin, a cut to sever origin."

At this moment, with the raised blade, he needed no other power; the entire Sea of Time seemed to be under his control.

Of course, it wasn't real control.

Rather, the power of the entire Sea of Time was being drawn to him—this cut could return to the most primitive time.

The present of time is the origin of things.

"No... you can't defeat time," the birthed consciousness was still unwilling to believe.

Since its birth, it had never seen anyone capable of surviving beneath time, so it was very arrogant within him.

But now, it realized things had gone beyond its anticipation.

The entire power of the Sea of Time mobilized, yet Xu Zimei couldn't be affected. Instead, it felt like the whole Sea of Time was brewing Xu Zimei's blade momentum.

"Slash," Xu Zimei proclaimed softly.

A powerful Blade Qi burst forth, the power continually surging, while in the past, Blade Qi would be eroded by time.

But this time, time became an aid.

When the Blade Qi came upon it, the consciousness that was birthed could not resist at all and was directly annihilated.

Meanwhile, a massive vortex appeared deep within the Sea of Time.

This vortex swirled continuously, as if something was about to appear.

"Is it the inheritance?" Xu Zimei murmured.

He stepped into the air in the Sea of Time, unaffected, directly heading toward that vortex.

As Xu Zimei touched the vortex, as if all power had found an outlet.

The next moment, the entire Sea of Time turned into a Torrent, surging directly into Xu Zimei's body.
