After Lu Ning used the Soul Weapon, he sacrificed his flesh and blood, and his power surged.

He then gripped the crimson sword tightly and thrust it heavily into the bronze ground with its gear-like patterns.

As a high-risk soul weapon, the Crimson Sword was directly plunged into the ground with Lu Ning's power.

As the needle pierced through, a stream of black viscous liquid gushed from the ground, and Lu Ning clearly felt a burst of power erupt from it.

Following the crimson sword, it entered Lu Ning's body.

That was an extremely powerful form of mental pollution.

This mental pollution manifested as a phantom in Lu Ning's mind—a giant worm.

The worm's back is covered with bronze-colored hourglass-shaped scales, while its abdomen and front have patterns formed by interlocking gears.

His head was ferocious, with a row of compound eyes, in which the patterns of hourglasses and gears shimmered.

And from its tail extended countless translucent tentacles.

These tentacles probe into the void, and one can vaguely see overlapping, ethereal worm-like figures.

These phantoms are all Him.

He in different timelines.

As Lu Ning observed the giant worm, its compound eyes also reflected his image.

The next moment, the tentacles at the tail of the giant worm danced, and the worm's phantom images from different timelines hissed.

The moment Lu Ning saw the giant worm, its name immediately came to mind.

Disordered Time Worm - Kronos.

He is the cause and effect of paradox, the destroyer of time, and a symbol of the disorder of time.

A terrifying wave descended upon Lu Ning from a distant time and space.

Lu Ning's mind gradually became younger, but his body grew older.

When Lu Ning's head turned into the shape of an infant, his body was already extremely hunched over and as thin as a rake.

Lu Ning's baby-like head neither cried nor made a fuss, but it continued to shrink. When it became a lump of flesh, Lu Ning's body could no longer support the head, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
