Chapter 774: Beyond All Loops

Chapter 774: Beyond All Loops

Again, time accelerated in a blur. They saw moments. The past Hui forged a silver mask and left it in the realm, found the ruins, absorbed the bits and pieces of the realm that the Golden Immortal rejected, and quietly existed. Much of his time he spent as the Elusive Ghost, only emerging as his usual form for brief moments.

It was hard to maintain my form. Neither Master nor the Golden Immortal could accept a full comprehension of time, so whenever I was inside the world, I spent much of my time in a half-state. For a while, I simply thought that was my future, to exist, and wait until that day.

Time flowed forward. He wandered the Immortal Realm, keeping to himself. Lightning flashed, and a familiar form appeared. Li Xiang stumbled through the forest, her robes tattered and burned.

Not Master or Ying Lin? white-robed Hui asked.

Blue-robed Hui shook his head. The Golden Immortal was paying too much attention to them. Back then, I would have lost to him. I couldnt risk revealing myself.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Back then? the Golden Immortal protested.

The blue-robed Hui looked at him.

The Golden Immortal crossed his arms and said nothing.

In the past, Hui approached Li Xiang. Elder Sister!

Li Xiang half turned. She frowned, squinting.

He ran up in front of her, excited. Li Xiang, youve finally ascended! I

She drew her sword. Begone, demon!

Eh? He looked at his hands. Rather than human hands, the Elusive Ghosts claws appeared in his vision.

The blue-robed Hui shook his head. Any time I tried to interact with someone I knew, the world rejected me. It was a struggle to appear before them, let alone speak.

But that didnt stop you, did it? You eventually wore a disguise to look like me, white-robed Hui pointed out.

But I still couldnt talk. And the more people who knew me in the Immortal Realm, the less I could interact with others, or even the world, blue-robed Hui replied. He held out his hand, showing the white-robed Hui a jade tile. Thank you for finding it. I carved it to attempt to communicate with Master. It didnt work for me, but for you

Shapeless white leapt out from where their hands met. It engulfed both of them.

Unhesitatingly, the Golden Immortal charged into it. He punched the white goo, bursting it to a thousand tiny bits.

Golden threads curled from each of the tiny white bits. Connecting one piece to another, they stitched themselves back together. Hui reappeared, wearing fine blue-and-white robes, a strand of gold in his hair. He shook his head. That isnt going to work.

The Golden Immortal landed and whirled around, slashing at Hui with his sword. Hui stood there, watching it come. The sword cut toward him.

At the last second, Hui vanished. He reappeared behind the Golden Immortal, his hands behind his back. You cant hurt me. Outside of your loops, you cannot touch me. Your comprehension of time was limited, wasnt it?

Shut up! the Golden Immortal snarled. He slashed at Hui again.

Hui reappeared across the Immortal Realm. You can only freely manipulate time within the loops. Even the loops themselves are you merely turning back the time of the Immortal Realm, rather than turning back the time of our entire world.

You dont know anything!

My comprehension of time is greater than yours. Accept it. Your defeat is inevitable.

I dont care! The Golden Immortal launched himself at Hui again.

Under their feet, the Immortal Realm crumbled away. Without dragon veins or cornerstones, nothing remained to ground the realm. The dirt tumbled into the abyss, converting into primordial energy.

Hui looked at the Golden Immortal. Your right as the Heavenly Emperor has been rescinded. You no longer even possess an Immortal Realm to call your own. Surrender.

No!

Hui nodded. Well, thats what I would say. It doesnt matter, though. At the end of the day, I wont let him prevent me from ending this. He stopped time and moved behind the Golden Immortal. He extended his hand. Lightning crackled in his palm.

It feels a little cheap, but

Wait!
