<h4>Chapter 2094 (Raw 2199): The Cycle Appears Again</h4>


    The Three Life Mirror.


    When Xiao Chen saw the Three Life Mirror, he felt stunned for a long time. He had already forgotten about this treasure.


    After the Item Spirit Little Three forcibly paused time in the Kunlun Realm, she had fallen asleep.


    The Three Life Mirror could look at the past and the future and control the time of the present. It was legendary Immortal Equipment. The treasure that the dragon spirit spoke about should be this Three Life Mirror.


    The Three Life Mirror can see the past and the future and control time. It is perfectlypatible with the state of cycle.


    However...


    Even the Item Spirit Little Three found it extremely difficult to bring out these effects. Right now, Little Three is still asleep. Can I rely on this treasure?


    Xiao Chen frowned slightly and sent a strand of Spiritual Sense into the Three Life Mirror, entering the world within the mirror.


    Little Three quietlyy among the clouds in what looked like an Immortal realm.


    Xiao Chen could use this ancient mirror. Before Little Three fell asleep, she had handed the controlling rights of the ancient mirror to him.


    However, Xiao Chen could barely make use of the mirror’s functions.


    The Time Dao was extremely dangerous. Xiao Chen had experienced it for himself before. Little Three was a perfect example of this.


    Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense came out, and the Three Life Mirror remained floating before him. Then, he pondered it.


    It was not realistic to bring out the functions of the Three Life Mirror directly. However, he could use the Three Life Mirror as an aid for executing the state of cycle. Nevertheless, he had to consider the risks carefully.


    Xiao Chen paced the room in deep thought.


    It would be very significant if he could bring out his strongest state of cycle in the Great Thousand Realms. It would be even scarier than practicing the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Vition Saber Technique.


    After all, no matter how strong the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Vition Saber Technique, it was a Martial Technique created by someone else.


    On the other hand, Xiao Chenprehended the state of cycle himself. The two werepletely different.


    However, once Xiao Chen failed, the consequences...


    Just the power of space could tear Xiao Chen’s once-awakened Divine Body apart, what more the power of time.


    Should I try or not?


    I should try it!


    Xiao Chen reached out and grabbed the Three Life Mirror. For many years, he had explored ande up with his own path by himself.


    He had experienced life-and-death situations several times already and gotten ustomed to them. His heart did not fear a challenge.


    Xiao Chen did not hesitate after deciding.


    Master, let me out to y.


    Just at this moment, the Demon Blood Vulture’s voice rang out in Xiao Chen’s mind.


    Like Xiao Chen, the Demon Blood Vulture had been trapped in thend of the blood moon for four years.


    However, unlike Xiao Chen, the Demon Blood Vulture had not met with many fortuitous encounters.


    On the other hand, thend of the blood moon remained dark all year round and was replete with boundless and endless demonic cold Qi.


    Hence, the Demon Blood Vulture’s cultivation had reached Great Perfection Sovereign Personage, even stronger than Xiao Chen’s.


    Thend of the blood moon abounded with sinister energies butcked Spiritual Energy. As Xiao Chen did not have much resources, he could only remain stuck as a Small Perfection Sovereign Personage.


    Xiao Chen let the Demon Blood Vulture out, then started experimenting in the courtyard.


    “Whoosh!”


    The Three Life Mirror turned into a spot of bright light and entered Xiao Chen’s body. Then, his flesh, soul, and Veritable Essence Energy began to merge with the Immortal Equipment.


    The merger process went rtively smoothly.


    Time and space turned illusory around Xiao Chen. Many things that happened in the past manifested as countless paintings in the surroundings.


    The memories converged, and time started flowing like water past Xiao Chen’s eyes.


    The prior experiences representing Xiao Chen’s past turned into a flowing light that entered his body.


    Time was merciless. Back then, Xiao Chen was young and inexperienced. In the blink of an eye, so many years had psed.


    The past already happened, and the future was unpredictable. Paintings representing Xiao Chen’s future appeared. They were all hazy and unclear, unfathomable.


    Xiao Chen did not want to look at them. He always believed that human will trumped fate. The future abounded with infinite possibilities.


    When the light that represented the future entered Xiao Chen’s body, the past, present, and future intersected. The Three Life Mirrorpletely merged with him.


    Then, seven lights appeared behind Xiao Chen—the seven lights that represented the state of cycle.


    This was the moment of truth, when he would see whether he could merge them and bring out the true state of cycle.


    “ Merge!” Xiao Chen shouted, and the nebulous lights started to merge slowly. He felt incredibly colossal resistance.


    The structure of time and space in the Great Thousand Realms was on apletely different level from the one in the Kunlun Realm.


    It was not that Xiao Chen had not tried before. When he tried, nothing happened at all, so he gave up.


    Now that the Three Life Mirror had merged into Xiao Chen, if he still failed after trying, there would be no hope of the state of cycle resurfacing.


    In Xiao Chen’s body, the Three Life Mirror gave off a bright light, which silently radiated from his body.


    On the surface, it looked like there was no change. However, he felt the resistance to the merger of the seven lights lessen significantly.


    Xiao Chen immediately put in a burst of energy as he gave a war cry.


    The seven lights instantly merged into one. He took this opportunity to use his Soul Energy and Veritable Essence Energy to drive the state of cycle.


    State of cycle, reversing time!


    Immediately, an even stronger resistance—one stronger than any before—appeared before Xiao Chen.


    It was like the world was working against Xiao Chen, making it extremely challenging to take even one step forward.


    “Crack! Crack!”


    Xiao Chen had only moved his foot half a step forward when cracks appeared on his skin. Blood seeped out of these cracks.


    This was the price the physical body had to endure to force time to reverse. The danger that Xiao Chen faced was countless timesrger than what he faced in the Kunlun Realm.


    He already moved his foot forward; he could no longer withdraw it. He could not do anything besides enduring the pressure and continuing.


    The world before him was blurry. Half his body had already entered a time tunnel.


    Space-time storms filled the surroundings. A tiny mistake could crush his body and scatter his soul.


    I’ll fight it to the end!


    Just as Xiao Chen’s physical body was on the verge of copse, a sh of spiritual light encased him. It was the Three Life Mirror.


    The Three Life Mirror shows three lives, seeing through cause and effect. The spinning cycles of life and death illuminate my heart. The past and the future can be changed.


    A faintly discernible Immortal mantra sounded in Xiao Chen’s mind as the world before him slowly turned clearer.


    Then, the courtyard he previously stood on reappeared before him.


    “It’s done!”


    However, Xiao Chen faced an infinite repulsive force. His physical body immediately started immaterializing.


    In the time it took for a spark to fly, he drew his saber and chopped the tree in the courtyard in half.


    Xiao Chen’s bodypletely immaterialized, and he returned to the present. Something knocked him into the air as he vomited a mouthful of blood.


    “Whoosh!”


    “Did I really seed?”


    Nothing had changed before Xiao Chen. However, his physical body’s injuries were real. Fortunately, the Three Life Mirror protected his soul as space and time flowed.


    His skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs showed tears and cracks, but his soul remained intact.


    Just as he looked around in doubt, the tree before him silently split in half without any warning.


    Xiao Chen felt stunned for a moment, then burst intoughter. I seeded! I really seeded!


    He managed to execute the state of cycle in the Great Thousand Realms.


    The dragon spirit had not lied to Xiao Chen. The Three Life Mirror could indeed help him execute the state of cycle.


    Although the effects before him were not huge, this was just the first attempt. As long as he slowly cultivated it further, he would eventually achieve the same efficiency as in the Kunlun Realm.


    If he could change time, remaining just for one second in the past or the future, he could reverse a life-or-death situation.


    Who would not rejoice at such a heaven-defying skill?


    After rejoicing, Xiao Chen quickly calmed his heart. “This is just the beginning.”


    After his physical injuries had recovered, he started practicing this heaven-defying killing move. Once he executed it, he could change the battle situation at any time.


    Ten dayster, Xiao Chen finally could familiarly execute the Cycle Chop by relying on the Three Life Mirror.


    He could stay in the future for one second and send out a peak saber strike.


    It was nowhere close to the three seconds Xiao Chen could manage in the Kunlun Realm. However, it was a significant improvement.


    After all, he could not even bring out the state of cycle before this.


    On this day, Sang and Qin Zhuolin came to look for Xiao Chen just as he was about to continue practicing.


    “The Eighth Prince ising.”


    “Which Eighth Prince?” Xiao Chen asked, feeling confused.


    Qin Zhuolin asked helplessly, “What have you been doing recently for you to forget such an important matter? It’s the Xuewu Dynasty’s Eighth Prince.”


    Xiao Chen let out a soft cry of surprise as he recalled that he had a Xuewu Dynasty’s royal court trash in his hand.


    “When is he arriving?”


    “We received the information seven days ago. If nothing unexpected happens, he should arrive tomorrow or the day after,” Qin Zhuolin replied with a slightly nervous expression.


    After all, this was a prince from the strongest dynasty of the Central Great Realm. He had to treat this seriously.


    No matter what the group did, this matter would not be easy to settle.


    Xiao Chen pondered this, then said, “He is reallying. I believe his primary purpose is Qing Chen.”


    However, it did not matter. Xiao Chen had already received word regarding his own arrangements.


    Sang asked seriously, “What should we do?”


    “It would be best if we can make him give up peacefully. If we cannot, we still do not need to fear him.”
