Chapter 1692: Time Guards
“Prisoners? What?” Lu Yun paused, whereas Haidong Lin was already reacting. He flung his hand upward and sent two chains reeling back with a surge of waves.
“Even if there are prisoners here, it’s not us!” The Sea Lord jumped up and kicked at a certain part in the void. A ripple oscillated through space and threw him back down.
A man in uniform and a mask walked out of the void. The mask was both laughing and crying—the face of an akasha ghost! But Lu Yun knew that it was the other way around. The akasha ghosts’ laughing and crying expressions came from this mask.
Haidong Lin seemed to be well acquainted with the man; he sneered as soon as the other appeared.
“Aren’t you supposed to be part of the Time Guards? Since when did you become a warden?” he snorted.
“It’s you!” Lu Yun suddenly remembered where he’d seen the face before. His future self had originally planned to keep observing the loops, but had been stopped at the thirty-fourth. It was this ghostly face that’d stopped him.
When his future self returned to his time, he’d used the Brush of Three Reincarnations to draw the face he’d seen. As it tangled with his future self’s resentment, the combined product slowly became the akasha ghosts.
Time Guards?
Ah, so this was what Mo Yi had been afraid of. This guard, or his colleagues, had captured Mo Yi’s senior sister and sent her back.
“Perhaps…” Lu Yun’s eyes lit up; he thought of another possibility. He’d known that something had blocked him in the thirty-fourth loop, but his future self’s memories of that time had been erased. All he recalled was that ghostly face.
If it wasn’t for Lu Yun’s primary body possessing the Tome of Life and Death and affecting his future self with the treasure, his memories of the thirty-three loops probably would’ve all been deleted. If Lu Yun’s guess was right, the versions of him in those loops didn’t remember meeting his future self either.
The guard stared coldly at Lu Yun and Haidong Lin, his piercing gaze landing on the young man. Plainly, he remembered Lu Yun.
“I wanted to eliminate the aberration that you were, but never found the chance to. Since you’ve come to the edge of this world, don’t mind if I do!”
Clatter!
Chains shot out from his body and churned toward Lu Yun. The terrifying presence had locked onto him—the guard didn’t care about Haidong Lin at all. The Sea Lord was just a toy; he’d seen this toy too many times in each of the loops and restarts. Their downfall was always the same.
It was Lu Yun that was different. He’d broken free of the repeating cycle and was impacting every person he met. He was changing their trajectories to proceed in ways they never had before.
Boom!
A fearsome wave of air exploded from Lu Yun’s body. Close at hand, the Abyssal Hell roared to life and countless paths of hell dao burst free to drape down over Lu Yun.
This Abyssal Hell didn’t have an owner!
Though Lu Yun couldn’t control or direct it, he could borrow its hell dao! That was why he’d dared make this trip. The gray flame of the Abyssal Hell ignited on his body, blasting back the chains drawing close to him. Lu Yun threw himself at the boundary outside of the hell.
Bam!
He spat out a large mouthful of blood. He was still too insignificant compared to the Time Guard, even with his borrowed power.
Off to the side, Haidong Lin released his sequence of water to its utmost and manifested an enormous ocean that crashed down on the guard. Every drop of water in it was a combat art under sea dao. The entire ocean was a boundless collection of combat arts!
A dim world bloomed over the guard’s head and swallowed the ocean.
“Haidong Lin, I’ll take care of you after I finish off the accident.”
Clatter!
Chains stretched out of the dim world and slapped Haidong Lin away.
“The sequence of darkness!” he gasped. “That’s a world of dark sequence!”
The dao of darkness!
A world of sequence that answered to darkness!
He’d never imagined that the Time Guards could access such a sequence. It wasn’t one of objective darkness, but a subjective great dao! How was it possible for someone to create such a world of sequence??
“A world of dark sequence?” Lu Yun wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. He opened his arms and released rays of purple light, summoning a purple world over his head.
The sequence of time!
He operated the method of nothing from the overlord of Ice and accessed the sequence of time. Purple chains of sequence stretched out from the sequence of time and clashed with the black chains.
Since Lu Yun could see sequence, he could access the one of time at any moment if he so wished. All the same, he knew that his dao wasn’t one of time. If he accessed that sequence, his dao would reach its end.
As for the Time Guard, what the hell was he? He was only a first level sequence expert, but he’d sent the twelfth level Haidong Lin flying with one hit.
While the chains of time temporarily held off the guard, Lu Yun used the opening to bring out the withered wood. Black hellfire immediately seared the void and combined with the Abyssal Hell. Lu Yun turned pure black.
“No wonder the tree god destroyed its form and ignited boundless resentment. It was all for you!” the guard gasped when he saw the wood.
Hell dao had flowered and the Abyssal Hell fully came to Lu Yun’s side when it sensed the summons from the hellfire on the withered wood. Lu Yun now commanded terrifying power with every twitch of his fingers.
“You probably know the truth behind the endless cycles and repeats!” Lu Yun reached a hand for the Time Guard. “So c’mere!”
Haidong Lin shuddered when he saw the young man in his current state. Lu Yun had once built a world of immortal dao in Fairylands and lit hellfire there to kill him. Though the young man didn’t have that world now, he had an even bigger and stronger hell.

I suddenly feel like fights between sequence experts are ones in trading card games. What we thinking, Hearthstone?
