The Fall and the Rise

Amidst the jarring cheers of the crowd, the fight between the two characters continued on the stage without a hint of affection.

They were like two machines that didn't know how to stop. Now and then, the regressor, the 'ex-vegetable guy' would face another few punches while being distracted by the creative insults being thrown his way.

The elder managing the fight didn't have the authority to shut all the spectators up. They could have set up noise cancellation, but who would be willing to spend spirit stones without any personal interest? He wasn't from the sword cultivation sect anyway.

This tournament was supposed to be an easy victory for him. Just how much did he change the world by traveling back in time? He was panicking a little inwardly.

"MOLEST THIS VIOLENT CHILD~~"

Moreover, cheers like these weren't helping him either.

As a powerful and authoritative figure in his previous life, if he admitted his defeat here, it would no doubt cause a crack in his dao heart, which would prove to be problematic for his future cultivation.

He had already used all the low-level skills and moves that he knew of, now only one trump card was left that could help him secure victory, his secret treasure, a bead that he had found while exploring the demon lord's temple in his previous life.

The treasure that had helped his soul complete a journey to the past without any repercussions, the 'Origin Bead'.

After his journey was complete, he found that the treasure had fused with his soul, and was using his lifeforce to regain its functions.

After probing it for a long time, he was only able to extract a mysterious skill, that he planned to use right now, to beat this nasty opponent of his.

When the reincarnator, the 'violent guy' saw the aura gathering on his opponent, he knew it was time to use his ultimate skill as well.

At his level, he could only bring out less than a millionth power of the ultimate move recorded in 'Supreme Temporal Assassin Art', but it would be enough for his opponent, he concluded.

Both of them glared into each other's eyes and shouted their ultimate moves,

"THE ORIGIN PALM,"

It was an ominous palm from the future, where he would be far stronger than he currently was. This was the reason why this skill was forbidden and ultimate. It utilized the power of the Origin Qi of the universe to distort the bindings of the river of time which was connected to that origin.

"SUPREME TEMPORAL SPLIT,"

This was the ultimate move of the art that originated from the river of time itself. It would tear a hole in the surrounding space which would lead to their past body, which would result in their current body being affected as well due to the laws of space-time.

The aura of their ultimate moves was enough to shut the crowd up, their power was even stronger than a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator right now without even establishing their foundations.

In addition, their Qi might be insufficient, but they were using the power of the grand laws of Space and Time. How could normal people perceive it with their eyes?

All they saw was a glimmer of light originating from the participant they were 'cheering' for and then the crowd's favorite just... disappeared.

This was the worst possible ending the regressor had hoped for, his move had worked, a palm strike was sent from an incarnation of his future stronger self, far stronger than he currently was.

But unfortunately, his opponent's sneaky move had worked as well, and so, the lethal strike of his future self ended up hitting his past vegetable self, effectively deleting his existence.

A glistening golden bead was dropped on the ground where he stood, the only reminder of his existence.

The violent reincarnator panted with bloodshot eyes and shivering legs. He was heavily injured and completely drained of spiritual qi.

He gaped at the little crystal ball that fell after he killed his opponent. A part of his heart was urging him to grab and consume it, while another part was suspicious of the unknown origin of this thing.

In the end, he decided to pocket it and leave the decision for later. After that, he looked at the source of some of his opponent's misery trying to hide within the crowd. Even if that guy wanted to act as his subordinate, he wasn't going to allow it. After all, who allowed him to enter his sight?

But before he could point him out, he had to deal with something else. The 'helpless' miserable servant of his ex-alive opponent was now bawling in the spectator stands and causing a ruckus.

The sword cultivation sect disciples were also about to jump up from their seats and chase him. The elder managing their fight was also being punished by the other organizers for allowing the death of a legacy disciple within the tournament.

He was feeling helpless about this as well, but he couldn't prove that the moves of both the fighters were far too strange, and weren't affected by his Qi at all. He could only watch it happen.

The new managing elder was called up. The violent reincarnator had still not left the stage. As soon as he saw the elder appearing, he bowed and said, "Elder, this fight was interrupted by that guy in the spectators stand. If it were not for that, my opponent wouldn't have used such a forbidden move. He's also from my sect, therefore, as his senior, can I challenge him here?"

The elder furrowed his brows and looked in the direction this dangerous participant's finger was pointing at. It was a normal Grade-5 disciple with no specialty that he could see.

He also remembered that this guy was the first to shout, 'Child Molester' at the dead legacy disciple.

He turned towards the organizers again. Usually, they wouldn't have allowed such a thing to happen, but the sect leader of the sect both of the guys were in allowed that and everyone else wanted that guy to entertain them more, especially the sword cultivation sect, that wanted him to die for spouting slanderous remarks against their legacy disciple and contributing to his death.

Hence, after receiving the approval of the authorities, the elder came back smiling and announced that there was going to be a special challenge event in half an hour.
