Chapter 1170: Square and Circle

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The figure of the Fourth True Lord had already streaked across the sky, tearing the void apart.

Its speed was so fast that it was like a spear that could break through the heavens and earth. With a momentum that could topple mountains and overturn seas, it swept up endless lightning …

It came with a crushing force!

Amidst the rumbling, he pierced through the barrier of the sword furnace. Accompanied by the cracking sounds of the barrier shattering, his figure … stood alone in the wind and rain.

He stood beside the sword furnace!

He stood in front of Xu Qing!

The surging aura swept out in all directions like a storm.

Xu Qing's clothes and long hair fluttered in the wind, but his figure was like a mountain and he didn't retreat even half a step.

His expression was the same as usual as he calmly looked at the fourth True Lord who had appeared before him and calmly spoke.

"Fourth Senior Brother, you're in a good mood tonight."

"It really is you!"

A hoarse voice, filled with complicated thoughts, slowly came out of his mouth.

As he finished speaking, a large amount of lightning moved through his body. Eventually, it spread through his legs and spread out in all directions.

His eyes instantly … locked onto Xu Qing. However, the last bit of hope in his heart had already been shattered.

As his thoughts churned, the Fourth True Lord's expression was extremely gloomy, and the killing intent in his eyes was unprecedented.

"In terms of concealment, you have indeed surprised me greatly …"

The Fourth True Lord raised his foot and took a step towards Xu Qing.

"You were the one who spread the rumors!"

"After that, I used Xie Lingzi to set up a trap to lure you out, but you threw out the fox beauty."

The Fourth True Lord took another step forward.

"And I arranged for Yuanshan Su to take action, but you relied on your alliance with Xie Lingzi to obtain an identity for the fox beauty, causing me to fail."

"After that, I uncovered everything and successfully made Xie Lingzi rebel. As for you … you made Yuanshansu bow her head, made Zhong Chi succeed, made Xie Lingzi commit suicide, and made Li Tianjiao intercept me."

"I admit that your methods are indeed ingenious!"

"After all, the identity that was impossible to obtain has been overturned. This also means that I no longer have the possibility of winning this battle."

"In fact, if I appear here right now, so long as I make a move … it will be a huge wave!"

"Come to think of it, this is also within your calculations."

The Fourth True Lord took the third step.

He knew very well that with his status in the fourth level and the other party's status, it was impossible for them to kill each other in normal history. Hence, once he attacked, great waves would be stirred up.

Moreover, as the battle continued and injuries appeared, the waves would become greater.

"But … I also have a choice to not lose this round!"

The moment the Fourth True Lord took his fourth step, his energy roared and thunder exploded in all directions. A terrifying energy rose.

Killing intent burst out from his eyes as he charged toward Xu Qing!

His only option was to drive Xu Qing's consciousness away!

As long as he could do this, even if he failed in keeping order, even if the other party was expelled, he still wouldn't lose.

Moreover, it wasn't like there wasn't any possibility of turning the situation around!

After all, the focus of the fourth level was the wedding day!

At this moment, as his voice echoed, his aura rose, and his figure rushed out. Iron chains formed by his Constitution of Order appeared out of thin air between heaven and earth.

There were tens of thousands of chains densely packed together.

It filled the world and emitted a resplendent light, causing the night sky where the Sword Furnace was located to become even brighter. The lightning also dimmed. Everything seemed to be overshadowed by order.

Not only that, but layers of formations were also forming behind the Fourth True Lord.

There were a total of nine layers, and each layer was more complex and vast than the last, shining with light of different colors.

Seven colors were included, and so were black and white.

The nine formations of nine colors rotated together, emitting a terrifying pressure that shook the heavens and the earth.

Together with the tens of thousands of chains and the Fourth True Lord's own power, they all pressed down on Xu Qing.

Attacking … meant going all out!

At the same time, inside the sword furnace, Qian Jun Bi Yi, who was shocked by Xu Qing's words, clearly sensed the change in the outside world.

"It doesn't matter if the Young Master is an outsider like us …"

"Right now, this is our last and best chance!"

"While they're fighting, let's go all out and activate the Immortal Sword!"

"From now on, everything that happens here has nothing to do with us. Even if they shatter spacetime and wreak havoc on each other, it has nothing to do with us!"

"We're about to obtain the good fortune of the Fourth World!"

Inside the Sword Furnace, Qian Jun Bi Yi's Divine Sense fluctuated. Then, he seized the opportunity and unleashed all of his strength. He spared no expense in activating the Immortal Swords, causing the speed at which they were taking shape to suddenly multiply.

In an instant, the sword furnace rumbled. The sword energy within it overflowed into the heavens and faintly connected with the heavens.

The immortal sword was about to be born!

Xu Qing's eyes flashed. He naturally saw the changes in the sword furnace and understood that the other party wanted to take advantage of his battle with Xing Huanzi to form in advance to avoid karma.

At the same time, he knew that if he were to fight Xing Huanzi in the outside world, he would be no match for him.

His opponent was the first star, and he had comprehended the constitution on his own. Moreover, his constitution's might was profound, and he was a peak Sovereign half-step Great Emperor.

He even had the battle record of defeating an Emperor …

However, this was the fourth level.

The host's physical body could make up for his lack of cultivation.

Even if Xu Qing was residing in the body of the Fourth True Lord, he could still unleash power beyond his own. However, the space-time ripples around him were also Xu Qing's weapon.

Being inside was also the most suitable battlefield for him.

Furthermore … the identity of the host was a weapon.

Thus, Xu Qing raised his right hand and waved it in the face of the incoming Fourth True Lord. A formless space-time storm immediately exploded in front of him.

It caused the whistling chains to become blurry.

At the same time, Xu Qing waved his right hand. Immediately, Spacetime Sand floated in front of him and enveloped his entire body, causing his existence to fuse into the spacetime.

It became blurry.

"Your plan is indeed exquisite, but your shortcoming … is that you are too weak!"

The Fourth True Lord stared at Xu Qing and pointed at the sky.

Suddenly, the nine layers of formations began to rotate even faster, forming a vortex. An ancient aura came from the vortex.

Then, a green stele was pulled out from the vortex.

The moment he appeared, the feeling of time was strong, and the feeling of vastness was intense.

It could be seen that there were unknown characters flowing on the stone tablet like runes, and it was extremely mysterious.

The Chains of Order in the surroundings began to vibrate. At this moment, the power of Order began to surge.

It was as if this stone tablet was one of the origins of order!

At that moment, the Fourth True Lord pulled it out and made it the core of the spell formation. Then, he pushed it toward Xu Qing.

"Order is the order, drive them away!"

Heaven and Earth changed colors, winds rose, and clouds surged. The green stone stele rumbled, swirling with the vortex formation, carrying the might of order, and emanating a will of expulsion as it pressed down on Xu Qing.

Even the ripples of space-time showed signs of collapsing before him.

Even if Xu Qing merged into space-time, he still couldn't hide.

He was about to be completely suppressed.

Xu Qing lifted his head in relief and said softly.

"Fourth Senior Brother, you've done too much …. You've already entered my chaotic sea of space-time."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it forward.

He fiddled with the sand of time that permeated the surroundings, causing the sand to scatter between heaven and earth.

They collided and swayed, forming different timelines one after another.

That was the chaotic timeline.

Time didn't just speed up, reverse time, or freeze time.

There was an even deeper level of display.

It was like a long river of nothingness, omnipresent.

However, it was not fixed. Whether it was the influence of external forces or some other changes, it could cause different changes.

Just like the Time Desert formed by Immortal Lord Aurora's wife's natal treasure.

What was displayed was a branch of time.

"Those who enter my Chaotic Sea will have to bear the power of time. Every action you make will create a chaotic timeline. You will be immersed in the chaos of countless timelines. You will either die or go insane!"

Xu Qing's eyes turned cold.

"Entering the sea is full of bitterness and suffering. There is no end to time, so it is called … Seamless!

“

The moment his voice echoed, every chain in the area, every rune in the array, every green stone tablet, and even the body of the fourth True Lord appeared.

At this moment … as the space-time sand spread and collided, countless threads of time appeared.

They were all entangled within, causing the chains, the array formation, the green stone, and the fourth True Lord to distort, blur, and eventually overlap.

The chaotic sea of spacetime suddenly erupted.

Chaos against order!

The Fourth True Lord, who was surrounded by countless timelines, stared at Xu Qing with a sharp glare in his eyes as he faced the disorderly ocean.

"Such a method of breaking order …"

"If it was in the outside world, it would indeed cause me some trouble."

"But do you know why I'm in the body of the fourth True Lord?"

The Fourth True Lord raised his foot and took a step forward. With a boom, ripples appeared in the chaotic sea of time and space.

There was no order in the Chaotic Sea, but the ripples that appeared were all orderly!

"That's because the Fourth True Lord is the original creator of the Star Ring Tower!"

"Although he perished in the tribulation of the Immortal Palace, the Tower of Order he created exists outside of the Immortal Palace to this day. It's just that its name has been changed to Starrings!

“

"Since I inherited Xing Huan's name, my comprehension is also order. Therefore … in this place, my order is the same as the Fourth True Lord's, and I can display the Fourth True Lord's origin of order!"

The Fourth True Lord raised his head with starlight in his eyes.

At this moment, two seas of stars appeared in his eyes!

Within each sea of stars, there were billions of stars. They shone and lined up …

There was also a vast voice that reverberated throughout the world.

"Order is the rule."

"If you don't follow the rules, you can't do it."

"A rule is a compass, and a moment is a square."

"As the saying goes, even moment is used to straighten the rope, silly moment is used to look up to the height, overturning moment is used to measure the depth, lying moment is used to know the distance, circular moment is used to think the circle, and combined moment is used to think the square."

Every word of his voice became the sound of the Dao. The moment it echoed, the stars in the sea of stars in the Fourth True Lord's left eye lined up to form a square ruler!

His right eye spun, forming a circle of heaven and earth!

It was … using the square to determine life and death, and the circle to draw the cycle of reincarnation!
