"Past and future?" Hong Ling stared at the two figures within the tenth stage of the World Barrier, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

To break through the barrier of Destiny's Gate, one had to first break through the first nine stages of the World Barrier, defeat and engulf the two great clones of the past and the future, so that they could grasp both the past and the future in their own hands.

He clenched his fist and punched fiercely at the ten-layered barrier in front of him. Crack crack crack.

Now that things had progressed to this point, after fusing with his own fated star, Hong Ling's Authentic Qi s, divine sense, dragon's power, and blood energy could no longer be differentiated from each other. This saved him a lot of trouble and saved him the need to mobilize his own energy.

As long as he willed it, Authentic Qi would enter the Reverse Scale s, then enter the Divine Hall, then it would be his consciousness. After entering his body, it would be his blood energy, and this was the use of the Heavenly fated star s.

His divine sense spread out into the air and carefully sensed his past and future body. His past body had his past strength and memories. Boom. A moment ago, when he walked out of the barrier of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, an ancient aura gushed forth from him.

Hong Ling felt that everything he had experienced, under the influence of the aura of the past, seemed to be going through a reversal of time, and was constantly regressing.

"Time Reversal!" Hong Ling focused his gaze as he stared intently at his body, sensing the changes in his aura. As expected, the aura on his body became stronger and stronger as his aura weakened.

Hong Ling knew he could not continue like this. In the past, his strongest point of power was that he could let his power continuously weaken while not being affected in the first place.

With a tap of his foot, his figure shot forward, a fist viciously flying towards his body. However, the boundless aura coming from his fist was rapidly decaying before it could reach his body.

When Hong Ling's fist truly arrived in front of his body, there was no longer any form of energy left on it, and only pure physical strength remained. The past body did not say a single word as he casually raised his fist.

His body already possessed such a tyrannical power, and now that he had merged with the power of Hong Ling's punch, his power instantly rushed towards a peak level that he could not reach. His fist, which contained a monstrous air, ruthlessly collided with the youth's single fist, which no longer had a single thread of Authentic Qi enveloping it.

Bang! The youth was ruthlessly sent flying backwards, and smashed into the thick palace walls of the palace. Hong Ling felt his internal organs continuously shake, completely messing up all of the blood and energy in his body. He struggled to stand up, and looked at the figure in front of him who was identical to him.

At the end of the day, this body of his was merely a clone. Yet, he actually possessed such tyrannical strength that it caused him to cough up blood. This made him feel extremely unhappy.

If he wanted to defeat this previous body, Hong Ling knew that he could not use the Authentic Qi s at all. Otherwise, the strength of his previous body would only become more and more powerful, and the energy that he had lost would be completely sucked into the body of the past, which was a dead end.

If Hong Ling wanted to break through, he would have to use the strength of his fleshly body. Boom, he stomped on the ground fiercely, and the figure flashed out once again, throwing out another punch, this time without using Qi. This was a pure punch without using any Qi, the expression of his body did not change, and he also threw out a punch, releasing an incomparably majestic Qi.

Hong Ling's expression instantly changed. This entire time, he was using the strongest power in his body, and it was not like what he had imagined. He was using the same power as himself, but it was as if he had stopped at a certain point in time.

"Dammit, how could this guy be so strong!?" Hong Ling was about to go crazy, the power he had displayed in his previous life was far from what he could handle, but he had no way out.

Bang, the two fists fiercely clashed again. Without question, Hong Ling's original body was sent flying once again, and suffered a heavy injury. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with a cold light.

The Authentic Qi quickly rushed into the Divine Hall and turned into pure consciousness. With a thought, a Primordial Spirit quickly formed inside the Divine Hall. This was not the Primordial Spirit Clone from before, but rather the real body of the Primordial Spirit.

After fusing with the fated star, the main Primordial Spirit that was previously sealed within Hong Ling's body had already perfectly fused with his flesh, and could no longer be considered as a clone. This was also the reason why the Primordial Spirit he condensed now could no longer be considered as a clone, but the true body of the Primordial Spirit, which could carry all of his consciousness.

He was able to clearly see the trajectory of the flow of the energy in his body in the past. In the past, his body was still in the space and time of the past, after all, he was unable to truly synchronize his consciousness with Hong Ling's.

Hong Ling quickly caught onto the trajectory of the flow of the Qi in his body, casually throwing a punch at his weak point.

Bang, his body was finally pushed back by Hong Ling's punch. Although the youth had also received a punch, his face was filled with unconcealable joy, as long as he could rely on the Primordial Spirit Clone to find the flaw of the clone, then the previous body would not pose any threat to him.

His body was still extremely calm in the past, and there were no changes in his expression at all. He was just like a calm machine, constantly battling with Hong Ling, but following that, with the help of the Primordial Spirit s in the Divine Palace, the youth's attacks became even sharper.

All of these pieces turned into streaks of flowing light that entered into his four limbs. Like numerous symbols, they were imprinted on his meridians and acupoints, imprinted on every drop of blood, every bone, every muscle.

Hong Ling could feel his strength suddenly increase by a large amount, and was incomparable to the realm of Qi Refinement into Spirit. However, he knew that this was still not enough.

BOOM! After Hong Ling had finished devouring his past body, his future body suddenly erupted with an indescribable energy. It was energy that completely surpassed the complete perfection of the Essence Refinement into Qi that this noble one was currently at.

Hong Ling could sense that the strength of his future body had already completely stepped into the early stages of Qi Refinement into Spirit.

Inside the Divine Hall, Hong Ling's Primordial Spirit s suddenly opened their eyes, wanting to see what their future bodies looked like. However, in between their brows, a huge dark golden Primordial Spirit s surged out, and fiercely punched at the Primordial Spirit s in the Divine Hall.

Boom, an indescribable fist intent rushed into Hong Ling's Divine Palace, directly shattering his Primordial Spirit. The youth's consciousness was in a mess, and with a flash, his figure had already arrived in front of him, as a fist ruthlessly smashed into his chest.

Bang! Once again, Hong Ling was sent flying as he continuously spat out a few mouthfuls of scarlet blood in the air. He landed heavily on the ground, and just as he was about to struggle to stand up, his body flashed before he ruthlessly kicked his lower abdomen, dispersing the Authentic Qi that he had gathered with a kick.

If it was a normal person, such a kick would have been enough to cripple his Dantian. However, Hong Ling's recovery rate was astonishing, and his body was extremely strong, so naturally he would not be crippled. However, it was normal for the Authentic Qi to have been kicked to pieces.

Hong Ling's figure slid across the ground, fiercely smashing into the palace walls. His entire body of aura had already been kicked without a trace.

The future standing in place, expressionlessly looking at him, but just as Hong Ling was about to circulate the blood and energy in his body, his body moved, and he fiercely punched out the energy that he had gathered.

"He can predict my thoughts!" Hong Ling understood clearly in his heart what he was thinking about, and what he was thinking about in the time and space of the future.

The youth closed his eyes. There was no happiness or sadness in his mind as he suppressed all of his thoughts. At this moment, he was only relying on his instincts to gather his strength. As expected, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes in the future.

However, he was able to quickly grasp Hong Ling's intentions, and once again dispersed the young man's gathered power.

"Why is this happening?" Hong Ling was puzzled, he had already completely sealed off his consciousness, but his future body could still sense everything.

He looked at Lian Chengyue, and realised that the young girl had already defeated her previous body, and was currently fighting with her future body. However, her situation, was not much better than Hong Ling's.

Phew, Hong Ling let out a long sigh of relief and looked at his future body once again. His eyes were filled with seriousness, and although his future body had caught his ultimate goal the moment he completely isolated himself from the rest of his consciousness, he was still hesitating.

In other words, as long as he could seize this moment of hesitation in his future, and be able to catch everyone off guard, he could still defeat his future self.

Once again, he sealed off his thoughts, and as expected, a look of hesitation appeared on his face. Hong Ling's body moved, and he threw out a punch ruthlessly.

"Sure enough!" Hong Ling grinned, the moment he repelled the future, he immediately stopped thinking.

Bang bang bang, the young man continuously grabbed onto the gap that he hesitated for in the future, and continuously pushed him back. However, the strength of his future body had already surpassed the scope of Essence Refinement into Qi, so no matter what, Hong Ling was unable to completely injure him heavily.

"It seems like I can only use that dark golden lightning!" Hong Ling sighed, his hands slowly gathering traces of dark golden lightning. After he had swallowed the fated star, he had become much more familiar with the control of lightning.

His fist was covered in a dark golden halo of light. If one looked closely, they would see dark golden lightning pulsing within the halo of light.

The pupils of his future body congealed, as he stared unwaveringly at the lightning on Hong Ling's fist. His eyes were filled with seriousness, and lightning started to gather on his fist as well. However, how could the youth allow him to do so?

"In the end, you will still be in the future. Although you can sense my thoughts, your reaction is still slower than mine!" Hong Ling laughed sinisterly, his figure flashed, and a fist flew towards his future body.

In the future, he would not have enough time to gather all of the lightning in his body and would rush out once again. With a layer of thin lightning on his fist, he fiercely collided with Hong Ling.

BOOM! The extremely violent lightning directly destroyed the fist of that was half full of lightning, and even destroyed his body. With a bang, his body turned into numerous bright halos, and continuously poured into Hong Ling's body.

Countless symbols once again appeared within the youth's body. They imprinted themselves onto Hong Ling's soul and body, causing his aura to rise yet again.

Hong Ling's cultivation, in an instant, had rushed to a new peak, and he was only one step away from Qi Refinement into Spirit. When he arrived here, the youth knew that he had already reached the end of the Essence Refinement into Qi realm, and other than increasing his own strength, there was no other way to increase it.

He looked at the tenth layer of the barrier in front of him and grinned. His fist once again gathered dark golden thunder and lightning and smashed down ruthlessly at the barrier.
