Chapter 723: The Terror of Time, An Opponent

After his Breakthrough to Level 14 Perfection, Wu Li's strength received a near-monstrous boost.

The Cursed Spear Evil Tiger in front of him clearly realized something was wrong, so the moment Wu Li's strength increased, the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger turned to flee.

However, it was intercepted by Wu Li. After all, having unleashed such means, how could Wu Li possibly allow the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger to leave?

With a wave of Wu Li's hand, a terrifying Time Power instantly surged from his body and rushed toward the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger. Although the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger's Physique could immunize it against most Laws of the Great Dao, that was only when their strengths were similar. If their Ranks were not on the same level at all, then no matter how powerful the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger was, it could not resist.

Thus, as the Time Power fell upon the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger, it was frozen in place by Wu Li in the next second.

Wu Li walked unhurriedly, step by step, to the front of the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger. The tiger's expression was filled with terror; it never expected that by targeting a mere Level 12 Perfection forbidden existence, it would encounter something so terrifying. Who could tell it why a tiny Level 12 Perfection forbidden being could be so horrifying?

"Spare me, I'm willing to do anything you ask."

Straining with all its might, the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger finally broke free from the control of time and begged for mercy in extreme pain.

But clearly, Wu Li had no intention of sparing it. With another wave of his hand, the terrifying Time Power acted directly on the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger, and its aura began to weaken at a frightening speed—Level 13, Level 12, Level 11, Level 10.

Before long, it dropped to Level 1, and as time continued to flow, it turned into a pile of dust and dissipated.

As for the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger's own terrifying Forbidden Power, it was all absorbed by Wu Li. However, Wu Li did not plan to achieve a Breakthrough within the Fēngmó Forbidden Realm; he intended to wait until he left to do so.

After killing the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger, his own aura slowly returned to Level 12 Perfection, seemingly unaffected.

"However, I probably need to be a bit more careful from now on and not use this move again."

Wu Li thought to himself. The cost of this move was immense; only someone with his profound foundation could withstand it. Anyone else would, at best, suffer a severe blow to their Origin Qi, or at worst, perish instantly.

After dealing with the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger, Wu Li planned to turn and leave, seeking a quiet place to wait until the Fēngmó Forbidden Realm closed.

Just as Wu Li was about to leave, he sensed several powerful auras heading his way, arriving before him shortly after.

They were all Level 12 beings who had sensed the aura of the battle between Wu Li and the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger from afar and had come hoping to get a share of the spoils.

However, upon arrival, they failed to perceive the existence of the Cursed Spear Evil Tiger or any other powerhouse; they only saw Wu Li, and immediately, all eyes turned toward him.

In the next second, one of the Level 12 Perfection forbidden existences stepped forward, looked at Wu Li, and asked, "Do you know where the two great experts who were fighting here are?"

Wu Li didn't want to bother with them, so he said coldly, "I don't know. I'm leaving now."

With that, Wu Li intended to leave, but they clearly had no intention of letting him go.

They exchanged glances and, with tacit understanding, surrounded Wu Li. The figure from before looked at Wu Li and asked, "Kid, could it be that you came to scavenge and took the opportunity to absorb them? Now, hand over their Forbidden Power so we can divide it equally. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Although they suspected Wu Li had absorbed the energy of the two great experts who had been fighting, they weren't certain, so they could only question him.

Furthermore, even if Wu Li had indeed absorbed the Forbidden Power of those two experts, they wouldn't believe he was the one who killed them. After all, his aura was clear to them: Level 12 Perfection.

There were over thirty Level 12 Perfection experts present. If they attacked together, they could even briefly stall a Level 13 Early Stage expert, let alone a mere Level 12 Perfection.

If Wu Li had absorbed the Forbidden Power of those two experts, he might have stored it in his body to be refined later, as absorbing such a massive amount of power couldn't be done in a short time.

Seeing their aggressive stance, Wu Li frowned slightly. Because his Cousin was with someone from the Forbidden Clan, he wouldn't normally take the initiative to attack them, provided they didn't provoke him.

"You forced my hand."

Wu Li said, his expression cold.

The aura emanating from him caused the hearts of the forbidden beings present to tremble, but they quickly recovered. The person before them was only at Level 12 Perfection; what was there to fear?

The leader of the forbidden beings gave the order: "Attack together!"

In the next second, all the forbidden beings charged toward Wu Li. In their eyes, Wu Li's behavior suggested he really had absorbed the two powerhouses from the earlier battle.

If they could obtain that power, it would likely be enough to easily allow a Level 12 Perfection to Breakthrough to Level 13.

Seeing them strike, Wu Li couldn't help but sigh. Along with his sigh, an invisible force spread out from him, but none of the forbidden beings noticed. By the time they realized, they were frozen in place by the Time Power emanating from Wu Li, unable to move.

The moment they were frozen, their faces were filled with terror. Clearly, none of them expected that despite being at Level 12 Perfection like them, Wu Li would possess such overwhelming and terrifying strength.

Looking at their terrified expressions, Wu Li spoke calmly, "Is it possible that the powerhouse you were looking for is me? I know what you're thinking, so… be on your way."

Wu Li gently waved his hand, as if brushing away non-existent dust. The cultivation of the frozen forbidden beings rapidly plummeted, and they were soon ravaged by time, turning into a cloud of ash and dissipating.

Having finished this, Wu Li turned to leave. However, just as he was departing, he sensed something and looked toward the center of the Fēngmó Forbidden Realm. With a contemplative expression, he pondered for a long time before deciding to change direction and head toward the center of the Fēngmó Forbidden Realm.

On the other side, within the Five Sects Boundary.

Looking at the extremely solemn expressions of Senior Apprentice Brother Chun Liang and the others, Wu Yifan felt a faint sense of unease. He asked, "The three of you, what's wrong? Why do you have those expressions?"

After a sigh, the three of them exchanged glances. Then, Dust World stepped forward, looked at Wu Yifan, and spoke in an extremely serious tone, "Junior Brother Huang Yuan, it seems you have an opponent this time."
