Chapter 493: It Belongs to Si La Mu!

At the same time, in the Remnant Universe.

A powerful figure, covered in countless eyes and wrapped in various melodic mysteries, resonated with distinctive sounds as he settled in the highest core area of the Remnant Universe.

Only the true kings of the clan had the right to reside here.

And in this place, they referred to themselves as Immortals!

"Mm?"

King Si Mu slowly opened his eyes, and at that moment, radiant light filled the surroundings, turning the scenes within the Remnant Universe into bright daylight.

"What is happening in the clan?"

"Why do I suddenly feel a surge of astonishment?"

Just as King Si Mu pondered this, a Time and Space Arrow crossed through the barriers of time and space, instantly appearing before him.

With King Si Mu’s powerful perception, under normal circumstances, he could sense any means of attack from a distance and take measures to stop it.

But this arrow seemed to possess an innate undetectable quality, arriving directly in front of King Si Mu’s watchful gaze, and he barely felt its presence.

Even after detecting it, the arrow’s speed and penetrating power surpassed everything, and King Si Mu could only watch helplessly as the Time and Space Arrow pierced into his body.

"Ah!!!"

King Si Mu roared, his energy aura instantly reaching its peak.

At that moment, he hid nothing.

All his strength, all his means, including some backup plans he had refined in recent years, were released outward in a frenzy.

Such strange power!

The speed that tore through time and space!

The archer’s strength exceeded his imagination!

Facing such a powerful being, hiding his strength would surely lead to death!

"Boom!"

The aura of the universe’s most powerful being surged around, and in an instant, the violent power completely shattered all matter within a billion-mile radius into dust.

But when everything settled, the Time and Space Arrow seemed unaffected, hovering in front of him, as if quietly watching his performance.

Even though the arrow was an inanimate object, at that moment, King Si Mu sensed a mocking emotion emanating from it.

His opponent!

Was watching a show!

“No injuries?”

“No!”

“Such strange power must be hiding some backup plans within it!”

“……”

In a split second, countless thoughts raced through King Si Mu’s mind.

But before he could even think of a counter-strategy, the Time and Space Arrow in front of him suddenly morphed into a hand.

In the next moment, the hand, formless and shadowless, moved through Time and Space and delivered a solid slap to King Si Mu.

"Smack!"

The sharp sound echoed around, lingering in the air.

All the eyes on King Si Mu flickered with a blank and confused expression, filled with incomprehension.

Normally, he was formless and shadowless.

Especially when he unleashed all his combat power, with nothing held back; even an attack at the level of a True King wouldn’t produce such a sharp sound on him.

In fact, it would pass through his body without any reaction.

Yet this strange hand could ignore all his mystical abilities and deliver a solid slap.

From the moment he started on the path of cultivation to standing at the pinnacle of the universe today,

Whenever he felt down, he would venture out of the universe and battle ferocious beasts in the chaos, honing his combat skills.

But today, he was slapped like this?

“Smack!”

“Smack!”

“Smack!”

“……”

The hand ignored King Si Mu’s stunned gaze, giving him no time to react, continuously slapping him, inflicting a mental wound that would take a long time to heal.

“Madman!”

“So arrogant!”

King Si Mu’s aura stirred the clouds, and he directly invoked the power of rules within the universe as a True King.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh……”

In an instant, countless chains of rules gathered, forming a dense iron net of rules around him before retracting instantly.

However, this iron net, composed of the chains of rules with world-ending powers, seemed to lack any trace of the hand’s existence, passing right through without causing any effect.

As if the hand, transformed from the arrow, did not exist in this realm at all.

“If it doesn’t exist, then why can it slap me so firmly?”

King Si Mu felt he was about to go mad. He had risen since ancient times, and time had lost its meaning before him.

But after all these years and so many experiences, even after fighting against the Divine Fate Universe for so long, he had never witnessed such strange and illogical events.

Which chaotic powerful being was it?

That they would toy with him like this?

“Damn it!”

“Damn it!”

“Who’s there! If you don’t back off, I swear I’ll hunt you down relentlessly once I break free!”

“……”

At that moment, furious roars reverberated across the Remnant Universe.

It was clear that King Si Mu wasn’t the only one facing this “misfortune.”

“Slarmu’s curse!”

In an instant, King Si Mu let out a curse unique to the Remnant Clan.

If this had happened during a battle, warriors familiar with the Remnant Clan’s language would have surely fired back with their own insults.

After all, this phrase carried the same weight as the most vulgar curses in the Divine Fate Universe.

After a while, King Si Mu suddenly exhaled in relief.

He had thoroughly checked every part of his body and found nothing unusual or out of place.

It seemed that the slap was just a way to mock them, to humiliate them, and to insult their pride.

At first, he had been absolutely livid.

But when he realized that all the True Kings of the Remnant Clan were being treated the same way, he calmed down a bit.

Just moments ago, the Leader of the Immortal Clan had also unleashed a powerful aura.

Clearly, the Leader had experienced the same thing.

So, in that moment, he let it go.

Maybe the damage from that slap would surface someday in the future.

But since there was no way to detect it now, and no one had any means to figure it out,

all they could do was wait and see.

……

At the same time, in the Time and Space Retrieval area.

Su Wen was manipulating the Time and Space Arrow, transforming it into slaps, stinky feet, socks, and other insulting objects to humiliate the top-level combatants of the Remnant Clan.

However, he also realized that the Time and Space Arrow had no offensive capabilities.

“Is this really the level of the Divine Bow of Time and Space?”

Su Wen couldn’t help but mutter. He had initially hoped to use the arrows from the river of time to influence the sub-timelines.

But without any real damage, aside from messing with their heads at crucial moments, what good was it?

Still, since his observational range had been vastly expanded,

he had managed to gather a lot of intel about the Remnant Clan’s top-level combatants, regional layouts, and distinctive features through the power of the river of time.

From that perspective, it wasn’t all bad.
