What is this opportunity? Nobody knows; we just have to try them one by one.
Yunhua came to this ultimate ancient site because she wanted to give it a try.
Unexpectedly, they found a way to enter, but the prerequisite was that three quasi-immortal emperors launched a great purge, which they stopped, and that all living beings in the myriad realms had faith in them.
The fact that the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors abandoned everything, voluntarily fell into darkness, and launched a great purge is exactly the opposite of these three conditions.
Yunhua's hair danced wildly, its sound reverberating through the ages, emanating a powerful and terrifying aura that swept across all realms, as if it were undergoing a sublimation.
"What? Is it about to break through?!" Emperor Yu was shocked. Could it be that refining his and Emperor Cang's two Dao Fruits, along with the power of faith, had truly broken the shackles?
This is terrifying!
"He can't break through. He's trying to undergo Nirvana and is about to give birth to a celestial embryo. Perhaps he'll become even more perfect, or you could say he's taken a step forward and can vaguely see that realm. But in the end, it's all in vain, just like what happened to me back then," the old man said.
Upon hearing this, the two fallen emperors felt a slight sense of relief. The reason they were so respectful was because they knew how terrifying this old man was, and they knew that he had almost become an Immortal Emperor. At the same time, this old man was also their guide. In order to achieve the status of an Immortal Emperor, they resolutely ventured into the darkness, hoping to find a breakthrough here.
Just then, as if something was touched, a mysterious fluctuation unfolded, causing the seven emperors to turn around and sense something in their hearts. They looked towards the downstream of the river of time, where a dazzling existence that seemed no less brilliant than themselves manifested, illuminating reality.
Then, everyone was shocked. Someone was going against time, treading through the years, approaching the dark land of that era, about to descend upon this place!
Chapter 589 Arriving Through Time
There, creatures were also fighting, stirring up various nodes and triggering the imprints of ancient powerful figures. Going against the tides of time, along the river of history, they marched upwards from the distant future, charging towards this side.
However, they are all shrouded in mystery, enveloped by time, their true forms obscured, only their general outlines visible, yet even so, they are still awe-inspiring.
"Stop him! We can't give him a chance! Otherwise, we're all doomed!" Emperor Hong gasped for breath, his eyes bloodshot.
"Kill!" Emperor Yu acted decisively, raising his spear and shooting it at Yun Hua!
Yun Hua's eyes opened and closed, encompassing the vast universe, where Dao fruits merged. He suddenly unleashed a sword strike, surrounded by primordial light, conveying a faint, primordial sound of the creation of all heavens.
The sword light was obscure and profound, rushing straight through. In an instant, the boundary sea shattered, and a large area of the sea was swallowed up and sacrificed, turning into part of the sword light.
A single wave, a fragment of a world, vanished completely, returning to the sword light—a truly chilling technique!
Both Emperor Hong and Emperor Yu were shocked. This power was completely different from before, which made them terrified and unable to resist it.
Yunhua's sword struck the Feather Emperor, severing and shattering his left forearm. A beam of sword light pierced through his abdomen, and one of the Feather Emperor's wings was also severed, with blood gushing forth.
Even half of his chin was cut open.
However, Hongdi was also in bad shape. His chest was shattered, and his entire body was covered in cracks, which contained the power of time, causing his body to almost dry up.
The Feather Emperor roared, his back covered in blood. One of his wings had been torn off, leaving a horrific wound with exposed bone fragments and blood gushing out uncontrollably.
After Yunhua touched upon a trace of the Immortal Emperor realm, he could no longer see any hope of victory.
Let alone three Quasi-Immortal Emperors, even thirty or three hundred Quasi-Immortal Emperors probably wouldn't be able to kill Yun Hua.
"Young man, don't be so arrogant. Let me show you the path I took back then. I went as far as you, but it ultimately led to my death." The old man in black shook his head and said, with a loud boom, he struck out with his palm, as black as ink, blocking the sword light.
Within these palms and fingers lies his Dao, his Dharma, and his unparalleled combat power; with a mere flick of his wrist, the heavens themselves would crumble!
There are scenes there, recounting past events, depicting the transformation of the old man in black, intertwining and colliding with the path of Yunhua's Great Dao.
"Is it really a dead end? That's because you don't have the courage to go on. If you're afraid, how can you possibly succeed!"
Yunhua denied it, stating that the collision of the Great Dao trajectories reflected the transformation of the Old Man of Annihilation, and therefore did not agree with it.
This sublimation is like the birth of a new body, with an inexplicable power nurturing it within its origin, like the embryo of an immortal emperor, transcendent and supreme.
With a flick of his finger, the three great sword techniques of Chaos Ancient Times, the Sword Technique of the End of Calamity, and the Sword Technique of Creation manifested one by one, traversing the world. Each sword technique was terrifying, containing unfathomable power, a manifestation of the trajectory of the Great Dao, transcending the years, and manifesting the past and the future.
"If you want to verify it yourself, that's perfectly fine."
With a loud hum, the power of darkness surged forth. The old man in black made his move, using a power as unparalleled as his own. His old skin was cracking, and he was about to shed his dark embryo anew.
This is a terrifying change, symbolizing that his former realm was close to that of a true immortal emperor!
The moment the two clashed, the Boundary Sea was completely annihilated, turning it into nothingness. This connection with the Chaos Beyond the World caused a violent collision that echoed through the ages, stirring up the long river of time and making the coordinates even clearer.
At their center, countless universes overlapped, transforming into parallel universes and forging a multiverse. All definitions within were altered, and the two occupied all of the past and future, standing at the beginning of creation and the end of the end.
All the manifestations are of two people, merely fighting and battling over the trajectory of the Great Dao, yet they possess unimaginable power. From this point, countless threads have emerged, revealing various different endings.
An old man in black gained the upper hand and returned to the realm of the Emperor Embryo; Yunhua cleaved with a single sword strike, ascending to immortality and forging the Emperor Embryo.
Images flashed and ripples surged, eventually fading into nothingness, revealing the figures of the two emperors.
Just like at the beginning, it seems as if he never made a move at all; everything was just fleeting smoke, an illusion of the past that never reflected in the present.
"My name is the Old Man of Annihilation, and I have ruled over countless realms of annihilation. Fellow Daoist, you should turn back in time and look up at the light in the darkness, for it will be easier that way," the Old Man of Annihilation said calmly.
"Looking up at the light in the darkness? What a pitiful form of self-consolation. You have even abandoned your own path. If you rely on external things, even if you truly attain enlightenment, it will not be your true fruit. You have personally extinguished the hope of moving forward."
Yunhua gazed at the true reflection of the Great Dao's trajectory, the road shrouded in black mist. The other party was already deeply trapped within it, unable to extricate himself. Even at the end of his road, he might not still be himself; who knows what kind of being he would become.
"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. We're not on the same path, so let me lend you a hand and help you destroy this body. The new body that will be born in the darkness will surely advance further, and then you'll acknowledge me."
The Old Man of Annihilation slowly spoke, turning to look at the two emperors and saying, "This is the Emperor Pill I refined with my life's blood. You should take it quickly to recover your health, lest you truly perish at the hands of this junior."
He offered up two pills, which were like dark immortal gold, emitting a dark light and carrying an alluring fragrance, and flew towards Emperor Hong.
"Thank you, senior." Emperor Hong and Emperor Yu's eyes shone brightly. They broke free with a powerful strike, crossed the timeline, and appeared beside the Old Man of Annihilation. After receiving the Emperor Pill, they swallowed it directly, regaining their strength. Their aura surged and their killing intent boiled.
"Hmm, someone's coming, approaching here!" Just then, the River of Time surged even more violently, and the Old Man of Annihilation suddenly turned around, looking downstream, and couldn't help but reveal a strange expression!
For powerhouses at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, there are few things that would give them pause, unless time is involved. If a creature were to emerge from the river of time, it might be quite extraordinary, an unpredictable variable.
Once it involves Quasi-Immortal Emperors, even they cannot deduce the reversal of time.
In an instant, the river of time churned and shook violently. There was a hazy scene there, and three streaks of light, as if being chased, came rapidly from downstream.
Downstream, in the far distance, it seemed as if an unparalleled celestial emperor was crossing over, his chaotic imperial light impacting all directions, his might overwhelming the past and present!
"Three Emperors?"
The old man's expression finally changed. He sensed that there were three Quasi-Immortal Emperors rushing towards this point in time at the same time, as if they had locked onto this node. It was quite terrifying.
You must know, how many Quasi-Immortal Emperors have there been throughout history? All of them are alive here!
Including him, there are only six here, one of whom is an Emperor Luo. One of them, the Azure Emperor, has also perished and was sacrificed by Yun Hua.
However, now, three more have suddenly arrived from the lower reaches of the river of time, all at once. This is quite terrifying. The combined strength of these three is enough to overturn many things, and at the very least, enough to change the current battle situation.
Wow!
At this moment, continuous waves surged, instinctively stirring the imprints left by the powerful figures of the past. Power emerged, hindering them, as fine, hair-like threads of cause and effect coiled around them—marks of various eras.
Clearly, traveling along the river of time is not an easy task; it can easily trigger major causal events and lead to crises.
Chapter 590 Future Enemy
Most strong people are unwilling to do this.
Even quasi-immortal emperors would not easily form karmic ties. They could roam the river of time, but they would try their best to avoid it and would generally never interfere with anything, for fear of suffering calamity themselves. The stronger one's strength, the greater the karmic ties!
Furthermore, it's impossible to confirm what kind of being was born during that period. Perhaps touching that line would have resulted in a direct backlash and death; it was too terrifying for anyone to predict.
Otherwise, without restraint, they would act recklessly and arbitrarily, altering everything, wouldn't the world fall into chaos? Then there would be no point in their existence!
"What brings this emperor from the future here? Does he intend to interfere in this battle?"
The emperor of the fallen era whispered, the pagoda in his hand trembling slightly, as if in response.
Those who go against the current and those who go with the flow will both be subject to the spontaneous constraints of the river of time, and there will be relative entities that will hinder them; this is what is meant by entanglement.
Finally, they were getting closer. They could vaguely see the arrival of three powerful figures, enveloped in supreme divine light. The symbols of the Great Dao were extremely dazzling and awe-inspiring.
The three beings, two men and one woman, all transformed into human form. The aura they exuded was unparalleled, suffocating to behold.
Brilliant runes swirled around their bodies, the dense patterns indicating that their Daoist techniques were extremely profound, making them powerful individuals with invincible potential.
The three great beings advanced together, surveying the world with disdain, their gazes fixed on the Boundary Sea, observing every powerful figure present. Yet, inexplicably, they seemed hurried and hesitant, frequently glancing downstream in the River of Time, as if seeking refuge.
"Wait, we're too early!"
"The journey was fraught with difficulties, and unfortunately, all our efforts were in vain."
"It's just a pity for the guide; he'll most likely perish at the hands of those ruthless people."
At this moment, the three emperors stared at the four emperors. Upon seeing them, their tone was disappointed. Then, when they looked at Yun Hua, they were shocked and speechless.
"How could this be? He's from the past?!"
"Wait, how come he's in another dimension? What's going on? Could he have shaken the river of time? That's impossible!"
"Just who is he? His presence is felt in the past and the future!"
The three Quasi-Immortal Emperors who were going against the current were stunned, muttering to themselves. They seemed to recognize Yun Hua, and their expressions showed horror. Clearly, it wasn't a good experience for them.
At this moment, the four emperors fighting in the arena all looked over, the oppressive feeling intensifying, as if they were also sizing up the three emperors who had suddenly appeared.
"Fellow Daoists have come from afar. Although we do not belong to the same time and space, we are still destined to meet. However, as we travel along the long river of time, if we act rashly, the world will collapse."
The Immortal Elder warned him that he was very worried, as the consequences would be unpredictable if these three masters were to attack.
It's still unclear which side these three are here to help, so we shouldn't act rashly.
Perhaps this battle was of such great importance that it led to a series of major events in later generations. Some people, in order to change things, were willing to travel back to the past, even if it meant suffering enormous karmic repercussions, in order to rewrite the ending.
"Those who go against the tide will inevitably be restrained; if they participate in this battle, they will only perish."
Yun Hua's gaze deepened, revealing a cold smile, tinged with a chilling killing intent.
"We can't worry about that now. This person looks a lot like him, but his aura is weaker. There are differences. Don't forget our important business."
This is a man dressed in celestial gold armor, carrying a large halberd, with a full head of silver hair. He possesses a commanding presence, and his pupils are as sharp as blades.
"Heavenly Emperor, the great changes to come are caused by you. You must be destroyed... You are already annihilated... and are destined to perish. Why struggle like this!"
The dazzling avenue symbols faded, revealing her true appearance. She was a beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed in a long golden dress that resembled armor, exuding an air of nobility and possessing a captivating gaze.
She possessed outstanding beauty and, as a quasi-Immortal Emperor, naturally exuded a unique aura. Coupled with her extraordinary appearance, she appeared exceptionally refined.
"It would be better to follow the right path, just like these three fellow Daoists."
The third person was an old man who spoke in a sinister tone. He had red hair, a robust physique, and held a snow-white measuring ruler in his hand. He possessed an invincible aura, as if he could measure the heavens and destroy all enemies.
Upon hearing this, everyone's brows furrowed slightly. It now seemed that the three emperors who had arrived were not there to help, but rather to intercept and kill Yun Hua!
They triggered a great upheaval in the future, involving too many things, and some people want to erase them!
"Why do you do this? Aren't you afraid of your own demise?" Emperor Yu asked suspiciously. As a quasi-Immortal Emperor, he naturally knew the unpredictability of cause and effect over time. If an invincible powerhouse was truly born during this period, the backlash would inevitably lead to his own demise.
"Don't delay any longer! Those two people in the arena are having too much influence. They must be eliminated no matter what! They reflect the Great Sacrifice to the Heavens!"
The old man holding the measuring ruler spoke, and as he said this, thunderbolts struck down from the sky, lightning flashing and thunder roaring, hitting him violently.
However, the lightning did not harm him, serving as a warning. But as he uttered the words "reflection" and "great sacrifice," another mysterious and unpredictable force appeared, striking his body and silencing his words. That was the power of cause and effect.
The secrets he was about to reveal might have a huge impact, and he would suffer a backlash on the spot!
puff!
The old man coughed up blood, and his gaze toward Yunhua grew increasingly fearful, as if they were about to do something that would shake the entire universe.
"Quickly, let's attack together! We don't have much time left. We came here with the intention of dying. Now the situation is bad. Our guide may be in danger. That villain is really catching up!"
The silver-haired man wielding the halberd roared, and he attacked directly. The halberd blade shattered everything in its path, and he aimed it at Yun Hua, determined to eliminate him!
He was urging the World-Destroying Elder, the Feather Emperor, and the Hong Emperor, as if he were in a great hurry, to kill this person together.
Rumble!
At that very moment, from the era they had traversed, from that direction, came screams of agony, black blood splattered, limbs flailed wildly, piercing through countless worlds and scattering across time and space.
"Not good, make your move!"
The woman among the three powerful figures let out a soft shout, clearly sensing something. A deep look of surprise appeared in her eyes. She stretched out a snow-white, crystal-clear palm and struck out towards the battlefield.
The power of this palm strike was terrifying, unleashing a torrent of Dao symbols that swept across the heavens and earth, shaking the past, present, and future.
"To act against the flow of time is to court death!"
Yunhua casually slashed down, shattering everything in its path. The sword light condensed annihilation and eternity into a single beam of light, directly cleaving the palm and sending the woman staggering backward. Blood seeped from her palm as it split open.
The river of time trembled more violently than before, as if a terrifying force had stepped in, tearing apart all obstacles and pushing forward relentlessly.
