Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 426 - 343: Shattering Destiny

Chapter 426: Chapter 343: Shattering Destiny

"I’m Lin Xing."

"A man who can travel through time, imprisoned in an endless cycle of time loops."

"And this formidable power of mine has attracted the attention of countless scum, bringing endless tragedy upon me."

"My foster father was nothing more than a puppet under control, all his teachings were merely to brainwash me."

"My sworn brother coveted my abilities, deceiving and tormenting me life after life to study them."

"My life was a complete fraud, with my memories washed away and my future planned out from the very first day I came into this world."

"My master was the mastermind behind all this, the culprit who brainwashed me over and over again."

"I was abused, tortured, betrayed, my body sliced apart countless times, my brain flayed open, all human emotions gradually fading from me... until at last, all that remained was hatred, my eyes saw no humans, only pigs and dogs."

"To take revenge on them, to eradicate them, to utterly humiliate and trample them from body to soul, I pursued the ultimate power unceasingly."

"Whether it was the powerful martial arts from various sects, the lost cultivation techniques buried in history, or those masters in hiding... I relentlessly scoured for any method to make me stronger and assimilated it into my cultivation."

"I grew stronger and more terrifying, more invincible, trampling my enemies underfoot time and time again."

"But in the end, I still failed, defeated by that inescapable destiny decreed for me time and time again."

"And now, I am even forced to share a body with Bai Hai Liu, the person I most despise, most hate, and least want to encounter."

"Why! Why must this damn fate force me to share a body with this lowlife?"

"Why must the Heavenly Dao mock me like this?"

...

"I am Xingxiao."

"I am a superpower who possesses the ability to be reborn, to return to the world ten years before its apocalypse over and over again."

"But this ability of mine actually stems from the source of that apocalypse, from that mad dog known as Lin Xing."

"To stop the world’s destruction, to break the cycle of time, to completely kill that mad dog Lin Xing, so he can no longer wreak havoc upon this world."

"I constantly studied his martial arts, pondered day and night the loopholes in his moves, took great pains to gather more intelligence about his power, endured his torment, all while waiting for the day to completely defeat him."

"I told myself I had completely surpassed him, decoded all his martial arts, yet I still lost to that damned future destiny."

"And at this very moment, two mad dogs are tearing each other apart before me, yet regardless of who wins or loses, it only heralds more terrible disasters for the world."

"Is this truly the fate of our world? To be tormented by this mad dog again and again, to become a playground he ceaselessly toys with?"

"No, I will not let this mad dog Lin Xing do as he pleases."

"I, Xingxiao, cannot tolerate this scum gaining the final victory."

"If destiny destines Lin Xing to become the strongest in this world, to become the master of time, then today, I, Xingxiao, will screw that damn fate!"

...

When Little Lin Xing tried to awaken both sets of memories within him at the same time, trying to integrate the memories from life after life, the first thing he felt was the intense conflict between these two memories, two personalities, two identities.

It’s as if he was Lin Xing one moment and Xingxiao the next, his body feeling as though it were being torn in half, wanting to split into two entities to fight and struggle against each other.

The two different memories erupted in unprecedented conflict.

But Little Lin Xing noticed something they had in common.

That was the utmost hatred, loathing, and murderous intent.

These two extreme emotions locked onto each other, dead set on unleashing the same murderous intent.

"Do you both want to kill each other?"

"Ha ha ha, but you are him, and he is you."

"You are both this very body!"

He guided and amplified these identical emotions, aiming them at the body he currently represented, to suppress the negative influence from the other memories.

At that moment, Little Lin Xing’s spirit and consciousness seemed to reach a peculiar equilibrium.

But the side effect that followed was a strong impulse for self-destruction, a desire to kill this very body, to kill ’me.’

And what method in the world could possibly be more dangerous, more self-destructive, than fighting the Lin Xing before me?

Little Lin Xing: "You hypocritical thing, do you really think they will be grateful to you..."

Lin Xing: "Mad dog, you just don’t get it, don’t understand..."

"If you want to stop me, then try to resist me with your power after breaking through..."

At this moment, the fighting spirit in Little Lin Xing could no longer be restrained, his intense urge to kill and hate, driving him to squeeze out every last bit of strength in his body.

"Then I’ll use this newfound strength to defeat you."

White Gang Qi rushed in to fill the gaps in his flesh, encasing his body in an impenetrable armor-like layer.

Roar!

A tangible frenzy of fighting spirit burst forth, sweeping across the outer reaches of space with his will, even disrupting solar radiation and casting bursts of aurora-like brilliance.

Little Lin Xing, Mad Lin Xing, Xingxiao—their triple personalities and traits all erupted simultaneously! Erupted! Erupted!

Blood spurted continuously from his wounds, staining the Gang Qi red and shrouding his body in a mist of blood.

As the Gang Qi churned, it looked like blood-colored flames burning upon him, making Little Lin Xing resemble a terrifying and ferocious god or demon at that moment.

"Hypocrite! Come catch my world’s strongest, most perfect technique!"

His left and right arms each unleashed different sets of swordsmanship.

Having inherited the memories of Mad Lin Xing, who tormented the world in his era, Little Lin Xing could fully execute all his martial arts.

Inheriting the memories of Xingxiao, who sought to unravel Lin Xing’s martial arts, Little Lin Xing could also employ his martial arts and uncover all of Mad Lin Xing’s weaknesses.

Both the breaking and counter-breaking martial arts now merged seamlessly, complementing one another, and were simultaneously performed by Little Lin Xing.

A martial art with all flaws rectified and absolute perfection was born from Little Lin Xing’s hands.

In an instant, intense sword light shot up into the sky, releasing its brilliance recklessly upon the world.

Absolutely powerful, ferocious, and perfect—the sword light shook countless onlookers of this battle to their core.

"Shattering Star Annihilation Sword!"

He propelled the technique with all his emotions, killing intent, and cultivation.

With no flaws or imperfections, when Little Lin Xing launched the attack, he felt an unprecedented sense of completion.

Unable to dodge, unable to guard, when Lin Xing faced this technique, he felt its absolute terror.

Countless sword lights ravaged Lin Xing’s physical body, instantly shredding him to pieces.

But in the next moment, another figure leaped from the sea of blood, trailing a long arc of rainbow and erupting with earth-shaking force towards Little Lin Xing.

It was Lin Xing, inhabiting a new corpse.

"Again!"

Yet it was futile, for under the radiance of the sword light, Lin Xing’s controlled bodies melted away like snow under the sun, vanishing.

Body after body was continuously generated and reformed, and Lin Xing kept propelling them towards his adversary, but none could withstand even a single strike of the sword.

Unable to avoid, each of his opponent’s strikes seemed to anticipate his movements, slicing through his inevitable path.

Unable to withstand, each connecting strike shattered the vital parts of his physique, and no martial arts—be it fist techniques, palm techniques, swordsmanship—could resist.

Even... regeneration became difficult.

For the Shattering Star Annihilation Sword his opponent now wielded seemed to harbor a strange power, continually absorbing the life force from each of Lin Xing’s physical bodies.

The number of corpses rapidly decreased, while the power of the adversary’s swordsmanship grew ever more alarming.

Lin Xing recalled the Salvation Sword from Xingxiao’s memories, which similarly could absorb the life force of others to increase its power.

"Hypocrite, my cultivation has almost thoroughly learned and overcome every martial art in the world."

"Any movement technique or maneuver before me is full of flaws."

"And my strike, no one can evade, no one can defend against."

"You will fall to this technique!"

Boom!

Another one of Lin Xing’s heads burst open, turning into a mist of blood that drifted in the outer space.

The punches he threw were dismembered and crushed by the opponent.

The blood light of his Spiritual Manipulation was cut off by the opponent and evaporated bit by bit.

The life force from countless corpses was absorbed and transferred.

But at this moment, Lin Xing, clearly at a disadvantage, showed not a trace of fear or tension; instead, he smiled with utter satisfaction.

"Perfect!"

"Just as you said, this is indeed the most perfect and powerful technique in the world!"

"Mad dog, even after your breakthrough, you’ve not disappointed me."

"Only you are worthy of being suppressed by me, defeating you like this would give me... true satisfaction, the true conquest of that damned future!"
