Chapter 2548

At that moment, instead of the Spacetime Rifts getting smaller, they got bigger! 

"You!" Red Lotus stared in shock, "You've managed to take control of my Killer Move!" 

A smug grin was plastered on Reputation Gu's face, "Precisely." 

More accurately, would be that Reputation Gu had seized the Dao Marks that Red Lotus used to open up Hyperspace Fury. She substituted Red Lotus's Immortal Essence with her own.

Dao Killer Move ---------I Am The Supreme Being Of Heaven And Earth: Dominate! 

By replacing the Immortal Essence of a Killer Move, the ownership of the Move changes, allowing the wielder to turn the tides on any opponent, the downside being that it is only possible to do so if the user has reached at least the Great-grandmaster attainment in the path they're trying to dominate.

Further attainments help retain control better and allow for higher Rank Killer Moves to be controlled. 

The second downside was the cost. 

"Since the original Killer Move is filled with the Immortal Essence of the owner, one would have to use twice that amount to take control,"

Star Constellation was analysing everything from a safe distance, "She can't endlessly dominate your Killer Moves, its only practical use was taking over Hyperspace Fury!" 

Star Constellation was indeed the number 1 Wisdom Path cultivator in the world, in just 1 look she managed to come up with many flaws and weaknesses of a seemingly terrifying unknown Killer Move. 

"Hmph," having gained new information Red Lotus stopped being cautious, "Since, I know Space Path is less researched than Time Path, I'll take a wager that your Space Path isn't long enough to take control of Rank 9 Killer Moves." 

Rank 9 Killer Move------------ Shattering Void! 

Rank 9 Killer Move ----------- Crushing Hollows! 

Rank 9 Killer Move ----------- Spatial Rend! 

The Shattering Void specifically targeted a weakness in their temporal space, causing a section to crumble in on itself, causing all the pursuing Killer Moves, including Reputation Gu's, to be destroyed. 

Crushing Hollows did the same thing, but on the Hyperspace Fury, this caused an imbalance in Space that was not sustainable and thus, that section also caved in on itself, leaving Red Lotus alone. 

"Hmm?" as all the Hyperspace Fury portals collapsed all at once, Reputation Gu was unable to see Red Lotus anymore, "I have a bad feeling…" 

Just then, right before her eyes, 

A rift was torn open and Spatial Rend came charging through, prepared to cut her thoroughly in half! 

There was no time to react and activate I Am The Supreme Being Of Heaven And Earth: Defend, and even if she could, her defences against Space Path were more limited than Time Path.

"O shi-" in the form of I Am The Supreme Being Of Heaven And Earth, one was rooted in place, because once they were in tune with all the Dao Marks in a surrounding area they could not easily move from that location. 

Like the saying that Heaven and Earth are immovable, so would one become immovable, both figuratively and physically speaking, this was something Start Constellation had managed to deduce, based on all her previous encounters with Fang Yuan. 

A collapsed blade of pure Space was about to tear right through Reputation Gu, 

"Well…I guess this is the limit of what I can accomplish without Master," Reputation Gu closed her eyes in preparation for her inevitable end. 

"O my o my, you're certainly a cute little thing,"

!!!

From within the endless Space, Red Lotus witnessed a sight that shocked and stunned him to his core. 

"That's Impossible!" his mind raced to form those thoughts, but his lips had barely even pursed together to form the first syllable, and yet standing right next to Reputation Gu, a woman was moving in normal time.

"Oh?" her eyes, lustrous and crafty, seemed to pierce through the veil in space and lock onto him, "To think you would be able to not only witness but hear me in this frozen world…what a pity, you're a man tainted by Love." 

The lady wore a thin veil, covering everything but her eyes, yet the contours of her face were easy to imagine, there was a sharpness to her nose, and a slim and exquisite jawline, all hidden beneath the veil. 

"Trying to imagine what I look like behind the mask?" her expression was hidden, but Red Lotus knew she was smirking behind her veil, "Too bad, only the one who is capable enough to remove my veil can see behind this mask." 

Red Lotus's mind was still running, but his mouth had barely gotten the word 'Tha-' out. 

"Hmm," the lady tried to pinch the Spatial Rend that was, seemingly, caught dead in its track, her fingers sizzled upon contact, "O dear."

Her slender arms recoiled away from contact with the Spatial Rend, "You certainly are capable man, if I wasn't lost in Time I would probably not be your match." 

"No matter," with a gentle kiss on Reputation Gu's cheek, her form immediately dispelled back into that of her Gu Worm form, which the lady coupled carefully and placed in between her bountiful bosoms. 

She turned to Red Lotus, 

"You can call me the Madam, I am the bearer of Lust Gu," the Madam performed a curtsy towards Red Lotus, just as he was about halfway through the word 'impose-' 

"Your mind can perceive fractured Time, this means you're on the cusp of reaching the Dao Emperor Realm. Good Luck." as her words faded, Time seemed to gradually resume. 

!!!

"-sible!" Red Lotus's words finally made it out of his mouth, but his mind was still reeling from what he had just encountered. 

"*Huff*"

 Sweat was forming around his forehead.

"Red Lotus! Reputation Gu has disappeared into thin Air!" Star Constellation's voice was frantic, "I didn't even see what had-" 

Red Lotus exited the Endless space and appeared in front of her, "There's nothing more we can do, let's turn our attention to the others." 

Star Constellation was slightly taken aback until he showed her what he had encountered in the Frozen Time. 

"...Is that even possible?" Star Constellation asked, "This Madam, sounds like a truly difficult opponent if she could even freeze your time." 

Red Lotus shook his head, "I've had some time to think about it, and it's not that she has frozen my time, but that Time itself freezes around her, she's like a natural repellent of Time." 

"I don't know how she got to such a state, but I can tell you this, it must be a very lonely life."
