Chapter 2094: Demon (IV)

Heaven’s Stratagem finally broke under Long Zhan’s barrage!

It fell apart with a rumble, whereas Li Hao flew out backwards. All of his bones were breaking, his body was a mangled mess of flesh and blood. Order was collapsing.

At the same time!

A large surge of disorder erupted close by. The Disorder master cursed under his breath!

The fuck?!

Heaven’s Stratagem broke?!

Order is collapsing??

Why is everything happening so quickly?!

Order and disorder were opposing daos. When order collapsed, the entire western region reeled, like the wind had been taken out of its sails. It seemed to lose all strength of order. The dao of disorder ballooned in its absence!

The spirit of disorder materialized, forcing the Disorder master’s presence out of hiding.

An immensely majestic presence manifested from the gloom, revealing a skittish Disorder in the distance.

“I’m just passing by...” he called out. “I have no desire to be involved in your struggle...”

He awkwardly turned to leave. Damn it, he didn’t want to be involved in this! His effort would just go to benefiting others!

He’d detonated even his spirit to break free from the other ninth ranks last time. He was no fool—he wouldn’t let Li Hao use him as bait and a shield!

The kid’s got a lot of schemes cooking in his head, but I’m not falling for them!

I’ve got to get away before anything else. With this recovery of my spirit... I won’t be able to avoid those ninth ranks as easily. There’s pros and cons to everything. At least I’ve recovered to the level when I last faced Chaos Sky.

Once the two sides limp away from their fight, I’ll be the strongest in the chaos!

......

Chaos Sky’s face grew increasingly dark. Damn it! He’d almost forgotten about Disorder. But there hadn’t been a choice just now.

If he didn’t break order, then it was only a matter of time before Li Hao established his chaos. Once order was shattered, disorder would revitalize. If he had to choose...

He would rather Disorder come back strong than for Li Hao to continue down his path.

And now, Disorder really had revived.

Chaos Sky was irritated by this development too, but at this stage, it would be worth the cost so long as Disorder didn’t involve himself or interfere with the battle.

Disorder was clearly a smart person and wouldn’t get in the way now!

“Li Hao, you’re dreaming if you’re betting on Disorder helping you!” Chaos Sky growled. Dream on!

I would rather see Disorder restored to full strength and leave, becoming a huge lurking threat, than let a bastard like you off the hook!

Order within the west continued to collapse. Disorder’s presence built, but it also rapidly grew further away!

“Li Hao!” Spring Autumn couldn’t hold it in anymore. I’ve had enough!

Chaos Sky isn’t dead, Long Zhan isn’t dead, you’ve nearly put yourself out of commission, and now shitstirrer Disorder is hopping around again. The only thing this whole ordeal is accomplishing is creating more enemies in the chaos.

I’m the one with shit for brains in choosing to team up with you. We’re in big trouble now!

The Human King was yet to declare a withdrawal, but she was throwing her hands up!

You can just be beaten to death for all I care!

With the destruction of Heaven’s Stratagem, Li Hao suffered a grave blow and coughed up copious amounts of blood. Although he was yet to fully complete his integration with order, he was part of it nonetheless.

That created an opening for Long Zhan to charge over!

So what if you’ve revitalized Disorder? No one here’s a fool, we won’t suffer being controlled by you!

Li Hao, you overestimate yourself and underestimate everyone else.

Boom!

Half of the young man’s body nearly exploded in the air. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, scattering through the void.

“Heh...” Li Hao smirked sarcastically.

Just as Long Zhan prepared to take another step forward and completely obliterate this guy, Li Hao’s eyes locked onto Disorder fleeing in the distance.

You’re part of the battlefield and have gained something from being present. Now you want to leave? Do you really think this is how the world works?

Nope!

There’s nothing free in life!

“My spirit isn’t so easily devoured...” Li Hao murmured. His body was breaking apart, blood was spraying everywhere. All of the spirit that he’d gathered had become the spirit of disorder.

The light of a myriad daos sparkled!

The Disorder master also sensed something amiss in the middle of his mad dash to safety. He thought it was enormous trouble coming from him and was just about to repress the light from flashing more...

He blinked with astonishment, dazed.

It wasn’t that he’d come under Li Hao’s control, but that... the faint spirit of a myriad daos in the dao of disorder he controlled suddenly became emitting light.

The spirit... was gathering into a star.

A faint hint of time developed around Disorder!

Someone hummed with surprise and even the Skyward master’s eyes widened.

“No!” gasped multiple ninth ranks.

Fuck! Li Hao... is completely crazy!

He’s split the spirit of time into the light of a myriad daos and gathered it in the spirit of disorder. That means the Disorder master is forming the dao of time right now!

Disorder had been prepared to squash this change. But now... he hesitated for a second... then two... then couldn’t resist anymore.

The temptation was too great!

“Are you crazy, Li Hao?!” he couldn’t help but roar.

Li Hao was dissolving his own control of time and transferring its strength to the spirit of disorder. That would make the Disorder master the successor of time, appointed by the second generation cultivator himself!

And time... wasn’t rejecting the change!

It really did gather around Disorder. If this continued, his identity would change from that of the master of disorder to... the master of time!

And he would be a ninth rank master of time!

“You’re welcome!” Li Hao’s laughter rang through the void. “Clear out of the passageway, Ling Yue...”

The queen promptly evacuated the divine nation from the passage. While she didn’t understand what this lunatic wanted, she knew that she needed to follow Li Hao’s instructions. If not, she would die a grisly death!

As expected, figures appeared in the passageway as soon as she was clear. They froze upon entry. Although these weren’t primary bodies, all of the ninth ranks had spontaneously coalesced their replicas. Even the Skyward master had done so.

It didn’t matter how weak or strong they were, what their battle strength was, how much they’d lost after losing...

None of the ninth ranks could contain themselves at the moment!

They wanted to descend upon the chaos even if they had to kill one hundred billion humans or be tainted by faith for it. It was fine when Li Hao wielded time. They could tolerate it since he wasn’t that strong.

But if Disorder was the wielder... He was a ninth rank to begin with and rapidly growing stronger given the collapse of order. If this continued... the rest of the ninth ranks might lose all of their opportunities!

They would be unable to return, yet again!

Figures appeared, extracting endless dao strength in the blink of an eye and swiftly enhancing their replicas. Two dozen ninth rank replicas stood in the void!!

The Skyward master bellowed with some fury and incredulity, “How dare you Li Hao, you madman...”

“You absolute bastard!”

“So the third generation cultivator of time is Disorder??”

“We can’t let him succeed! Seize time and kill Disorder!”

“......” Jaws dropped among Long Zhan and the rest! They watched as immense shadows appeared overhead. One, two, three...

None of the ninth ranks measured up to modern day cultivators of the chaos in terms of one dao, but when two dozen of them were here at the same time, each with seven to eight thousand dao rules...

This kind of existence and in these numbers was sufficient to rewrite the chaos!

Disorder laughed wryly and looked at Li Hao in the distance. He couldn’t help but sigh, “Fuck! I just... couldn’t help myself!”

He really couldn’t.

The coalescence of time meant that he would become the third gen master of time. He was also a ninth rank!

I would not be human if I could abstain from all of that. Oh Li Hao!

You madman, you’ve forced me down a path I can’t return from!

It wasn’t just the ninth ranks that were in a frenzy, but so were Chaos Sky and Spring Autumn. Even Long Zhan was beside himself!

This was bad!

Once Disorder exercised control over time, the sky would cave in. The entire chaos would fall under Disorder’s control!

“Li Hao... you are a sinner. You are the sinner of the chaos!” Long Zhan howled.

“You damned thing!” Chaos Sky snarled as well. “We could’ve discussed establishing your chaos if you’d handed the dao of time to me. Why him?!”

He fumed with rage and couldn’t maintain his composure anymore. If you’d said that you were willing to give up time, I would’ve let you establish that chaos!

The hell!

What’s with giving it to Disorder and fighting us about it?! What are you even thinking??

the Human King clucked his tongue. How... lively!

It was really a party now.

He’d said before that no human was able to resist the allure of time. Li Hao was apparently not human, but Disorder was. He couldn’t give up the opportunity despite knowing full well the dangers involved and that people would try to stop him.

There was a show to be had now!

Fang Ping grinned widely.

Two dozen formidable eighth rank presences had suddenly appeared around them. In the distance, Disorder’s presence also billowed commandingly as it marched inexorably toward the peak he had a million years ago.

“Everyone, stop fighting!” Skyward’s replica snapped out. “Kill Disorder! We cannot let him become the master of time!”

Long Zhan gnashed his teeth and wanted to focus on killing Li Hao first.

“But I can’t die,” the young man said with a meaningful smirk. “If I die, Disorder will fully control time. If I die, no one will be able to inherit it even if you guys kill Disorder. Time will fully disappear from the chaos!”
