Chapter 1097 417: Then Let the Heavens Shatter
Li Boyang transformed into a stream of light, chasing the Gold Coin at a speed that exceeded the limits of human vision, seeming to vanish into thin air from sight.
Li Xiu's speed was equally fast, Hua Mei Demon Armor erupted with terrifying light explosion, instantly disappearing from its original place, stubbornly blocking in front of Li Boyang.
The two faced each other, clashing fists directly without any fancy moves, yet Li Boyang's fist seemed to hit nothing but cotton, with no forceful point at all.
In the blink of an eye, instead of retracting his strength, Li Boyang erupted even more violently, intending to break through Li Xiu's body to continue pursuing the Gold Coin.
However, at the moment of impact, Li Xiu's soft fist transformed into a palm, grabbing Li Boyang's arm, pulling and guiding with tremendous force, twisting his waist to deflect Li Boyang's terrifying momentum to another side.
Li Boyang's body was swung in a circle by Li Xiu, and after this rotation, Li Xiu suddenly felt Li Boyang's momentum becoming even fiercer, using his pulling force to accelerate, making the impact even more terrifying. Li Xiu could no longer control his momentum, almost letting go as Li Boyang flew out at faster speeds toward the Gold Coin.
Li Xiu's response was nearly instantaneous, pushing with all his might as Li Boyang slipped out of his palm's control.
With Li Xiu's full force push, Li Boyang's original momentum veered off, unable to reach the Gold Coin, missing its flight path diagonally.
Everything happened too fast, spectators couldn't see anything, even those at Divine Position Level couldn't discern what happened in that flash of a moment as the battle between the two concluded in an instant.
Bang!
Li Boyang's body collided with the Jade Wall of the Time Tunnel, crashing down a large segment of the emerald wall. By the time he got up to give chase again, the Gold Coin had already passed through a platform, flying into the mist beyond the station.
Li Boyang stepped out of the ruins, staring coldly at Li Xiu, saying, "After practicing Yin Yang Daoism for so many years, I still can't beat you in the Path of Yin Yang Void. You're indeed the greatest talent I've seen in my life, even those undefeated through the ages may not surpass your skill in techniques."
"Now, you have to gamble with me," Li Xiu said calmly, looking at the platform.
The Life Theater Station was why Li Xiu came to the Time Tunnel.
The Life Theater Station is a Future Illusion Realm projected by the Time Tunnel, but it's not a mere illusion. Li Xiu had tossed the Gold Coin into the Life Theater. If the Life Theater is directly destroyed, the Gold Coin might be eternally lost in the Future Illusion Realm, and Li Boyang would never find it again.
To retrieve the Gold Coin, Li Boyang must enter the Future Illusion of the Life Theater; he dare not destroy the Life Theater before he finds the Gold Coin. This sets the premise for Li Xiu to battle with Li Boyang.
Li Boyang cannot destroy the Life Theater, so he must restrain himself, providing Li Xiu an opportunity to fight him.
Without a word, Li Boyang charged into the Life Theater Station, determined to find the Gold Coin before Li Xiu. Finding the Gold Coin would mean Li Xiu's defeat without a fight, losing any chance to compete against him.
Li Xiu did not stop Li Boyang but followed him into the Life Theater.
When Li Xiu entered the Life Theater, the scene made him frown slightly.
The last time he came to the Life Theater's world, though it was already shattered, humanity still had a corner of the broken world to barely survive.
Now, the future derived by the Life Theater was different from before, with broken stars everywhere.
Among the stars, some appeared like apples bitten several times, others shattered into meteorite clusters, and energy-releasing star explosions scattered across the cosmos.
Li Xiu stood on what was once Earth, now split into two halves, the two hemispheres were heaps of ruin, plunging like a tomb of stars towards the sea of stars.
Li Boyang was already in the cosmic sky, his eyes reflecting the spiritual light of the universe's stars, like two small universes swirling in his eyes.
His Spiritual Sense fully expanded, covering the vast broken starlit sky, searching for the trace of the Gold Coin.
But the Gold Coin, which entered the Future Illusion Realm just before him, seemed to have vanished into thin air. Even though his Spiritual Sense enveloped the entire cosmos, he found no trace of the Gold Coin.
"Now, can we truly battle?" Li Xiu appeared across from Li Boyang, his Light Energy rising like resplendent Holy Light.
All around was void of external images, even the Sixteen Ancestral Spirits couldn't create spiritual light images outside, nor dared enter the Life Illusion Realm.
Not for fear of not escaping, but fear that upon entering, Li Xiu would eliminate them first.
After all, even a fool would know they are pressuring Li Xiu to sacrifice himself for the universe's living beings.
"Boy, you might have miscalculated, that Gold Coin isn't of this universe. Even if the Future Illusion Realm is destroyed, it won't be lost within it," Li Boyang said.
"No, as long as the Life Illusion is destroyed, it will certainly be lost in the Future Illusion Realm," Li Xiu said calmly.
