"When things reach their peak, they decline; when they decline, they rise again. This is a cycle," he said with a sense of realization.
He gained immense benefits; with each blink of his eyes, he grasped the principles of the Dharma-ending Age, explored its origins, and felt all things rise and fall within his heart. He truly experienced a rare and profound understanding.
In the era of the fallen emperors, the purge had just begun, and the world was desolate. Immortal kings retreated from the world, and true immortals did not venture out, fearing to fall into the mortal realm and incur great karmic consequences. But Yunhua went against the grain, entering the mortal world to cultivate at this very moment.
One could vaguely see six orbs of light rotating and glowing within his body, exuding auspicious energy and an aura of immortality, radiating a rich vitality.
Between heaven and earth, amidst the myriad phenomena of the mortal world, countless forces of cause and effect converged and surged towards him, attempting to imprison his body.
"Even the immense calamities of the mortal world can only be used by me," he murmured.
Not only did he not use his magic to sever or shatter the many causes and effects, but instead, the Six Paths of Reincarnation devoured everything like a whale drinking water, trying to turn them into his own nourishment.
Chapter 556 The Return of the True Self
If other immortal kings saw this, they would surely tremble. They try their best to avoid cause and effect and sever their karma in order to avoid falling into the mortal world and achieve immortality. But Yunhua's actions are undoubtedly a path to death for them!
Gradually, tens of thousands of years passed, and Yun Hua's cultivation level rose steadily, eventually reaching the limit of the Emperor Light Immortal King realm. Her strength became increasingly terrifying, and she seemed poised to step into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm at any moment.
"It's about time, it's almost time to investigate all the causes and effects!" he murmured, his eyes shining brightly.
His origins and the many mysteries surrounding him have always troubled him, but today he feels he has enough power and wants to uncover some of the truth about himself.
He began to wield great power, traversing the long river of time, observing its rise and fall, reversing the flow of time, or gazing upon history.
Now, his cultivation is astonishing, and he has a profound grasp of the Dao of Time and Reincarnation. If he does not touch upon matters of cause and effect, he can calmly walk on the river of time, observing the great cycles of the world and the rise and fall of the years.
He moved forward step by step, each step seemingly marking an era, as time shifted and the stars moved on.
The void was shattering, the chaos was dissipating, and patches of light rain appeared, as the endless chaos collapsed.
The river of time flows mightily, surging endlessly, rushing for thousands of miles.
At this moment, he belongs neither to the present nor to the past, treading on the river of time, bathed in the light and rain of immortals, surrounded by endless chaotic energy.
As he traveled along the long river, an endless chaos descended behind him, the scenery darkened, and the heavens, like a painting, were stained with mottled colors. It seemed that everything in the past had frozen, and many things gradually became blurred and darkened.
"What happened... why is this happening!" Yun Hua was slightly startled. He had only come to explore the river of time and observe his own trajectory from ancient times to the present, but it seemed that he had been unexpectedly lost and disappeared into the ancient history of the fallen emperor.
"Could it be, like the Origin Era?"
He pondered silently, observing the flow of time, and soon, someone caught his attention.
He stepped upstream, looked down, and saw a tall, imposing creature moving forward in the downstream area.
He strode with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, stepping through the long river of time, his hands propelling the stars of the heavens, traversing countless realms, his majesty as imposing as a prison, like an unparalleled monarch, his divine might overwhelming.
A Celestial King! This was a figure like a monarch, overlooking the world with unparalleled majesty. At this moment, however, he was unaware of Yun Hua's arrival.
And that person was also staring intently at the area downstream of where he was standing, their eyes gleaming with an astonishing light.
He was a handsome young man, tall and straight, with bright eyes, gradually moving upstream against the current of time.
"That is..." Yun Hua, Tong Kong contracted, his heart filled with horror, a huge wave of shock surged up, that boy looked exactly like him!
At this moment, his mind was in chaos, with many fragments of memory being reassembled and continuously merged, and the power transforming into a complete whole.
“A variable has appeared…” The king-like man sighed softly, his cold gaze like a sharp sword, or a gleaming blade, unbreakable, staring at the boy with murderous intent, as if he wanted to make a move.
"Boom!" At this moment, Yun Hua's eyes suddenly blazed with light, the beam of light splitting the universe, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crack, the world to lose its color, reaching far and wide.
In that instant, the stars around him all fell in a flurry, turning into fireworks of light, and finally turning to ashes.
This power was unparalleled; heaven and earth cracked open, dark rifts spread out, and black holes connected one after another, gushing forth like whales and gushing like cattle, dimming the starlight in the sky.
A terrifying aura surged against the flow of time, stirring up towering waves and causing stars to fall from the sky. Its upward movement triggered a chain reaction, changing the expressions of countless people from all eras who gazed upon the river of time!
Downstream in the river of time, the man, as majestic as a king, was horrified. A chill ran down his spine as he sensed a chilling killing intent.
"The great cause and effect..." The man was extremely shocked, his mind trembled. At this moment, he dared not stay in the River of Time and hurriedly left, otherwise, he might face a life-or-death crisis.
In the instant she left after cursing, Yun Hua's eyes suddenly cleared, and boundless memories flooded in, completely merging with the events of the meeting.
"I... am Yun Hua, and also the Heavenly Emperor Yun! I'm back!"
At that moment, he awakened and looked at the boy who had come against the current. A flash of wisdom filled his mind, and all his memories surfaced.
His eyes were bright and sharp. The events of the Origin Era and the Fall of the Emperor seemed like a dream, making him feel somewhat unreal.
"So that was my World Tree avatar, seemingly reborn from the ashes!" Yunhua looked at the young man, who had vanished into the river of time, and remained silent.
Previously, that man was none other than the Crimson King, who intended to attack the young World Tree avatar, but was startled away by his past self flowing upstream in the River of Time and did not make a move.
He looked down at his younger self from there, while he looked down at him from upstream. It was like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. All of this seemed like a circle, a grand cycle.
The river of history flows on and on, with wave after wave rising and falling, each ancient realm rising and falling.
He looked back and saw that the once bright world had gradually turned gray, like an immortal painting that had been frozen in time.
Time flies, and years pass by. He finds that he can no longer return to the era of the fallen emperor. Now, it seems that he can only move forward, and there is only one way.
“Origin, Emperor’s Fall, Human Emperor, Emperor Yuan, Yu Hong…” One event after another, one unforgettable memory after another, were imprinted in his mind, impossible to erase.
He also misses his friends and family from the chaotic ancient era. At this moment, he is eager to return. The dream of eternity is about to end.
He kept moving forward, trying to escape the river of time, but it was like going around in circles, like being trapped in a maze.
"Reverse the Ages!" he roared suddenly, his eyes shining brightly, runes surging, and intense light overwhelming the heavens and earth. This was Chong Tong's astonishing secret technique, and he was about to clash with it.
Of course, it's not about breaking through the passage; even a Celestial King couldn't do that. Instead, it's about touching a certain point, tearing open a crack, and using that opportunity to escape.
At the same time, six intense lights emanated from his body, and six portals opened up, emanating the aura of reincarnation that enveloped his body.
Otherwise, if a massive explosion were to occur here, the power of countless rules and orders would pierce through his body, causing severe damage!
In the long river of time, the need to wield power is terrifying; one careless move can easily lead to a great calamity. Therefore, he must make thorough preparations.
Finally, the long river changed, as if it had hit a certain point and undergone a mutation, stirring up towering waves, turning into whirlpools, and spreading chaotic energy.
Chapter 557 Pacifying the Rebellion in the Boundary Sea
In a daze, Yunhua felt her body crack open, her soul disintegrate, and her whole being split into many pieces.
A black hole appeared, spinning, and swallowed him up. He was absorbed into it, and finally, he broke free of the river's surface and flew out from the whirlpool's mouth.
He felt himself transform into a rain of light, becoming a mass of light particles.
I can't quite grasp how much time has passed; it seems like a fleeting moment, yet also like countless epochs have gone by. Countless figures of him are gradually returning and merging into my being.
A Primordial Wheel appeared behind Yunhua's head, pulling up and gathering countless images of Yunhua from the Origin and Emperor's Fall eras from the river of time, while Yunhua's body also exuded an indestructible supreme aura.
Yunhua's primordial body is about to advance to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but he cannot leave now. He needs to sweep away the Boundary Sea and try to take a Quasi-Immortal Emperor with him. Otherwise, once he becomes a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, he will return to his original body protected by the Gate of the Other Shore in the River of Time.
If you go back to the past, how can you not try to change it and salvage the grief and pain of the past?
Yunhua fell out of the river of time and returned to a previous point in time, which was also the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths after a great calamity.
He realized what era this was; the origins had passed, and it was now the end of the Emperor's Fall Era!
*Whoosh!* At the same time, a wisp of mist drifted down from the sky, covering everything. Completely unexpected!
However, Yunhua's reaction was nothing short of a resounding cry, like the beginning of the universe, which pierced through heaven and earth and struck the black mist, producing an astonishing tremor!
The black mist dissipated, exploded, and then reformed, transforming into a humanoid black shadow. After missing his attack, he actually chose to flee far away at an incredible speed, far exceeding that of many Immortal Kings!
Chase after him! Yun Hua strode forward, a strange feeling rising in his heart. If he didn't get rid of him, things would get very bad.
Not long after, he passed by a beautiful ancient place.
This place boasts beautiful mountains, where spirit birds fly and dance, with red cliffs and strange rocks, waterfalls cascading like ribbons, and lingzhi mushrooms growing on the steep cliffs and at the foot of the precipice, surrounded by rosy clouds and auspicious clouds, like a Taoist temple of immortals!
This place is not very vast, and it seems that there are not many people cultivating here, but it is quite extraordinary and can be called a beautiful and divine land.
In a distant pavilion, a young man dressed in white sat, exuding composure and possessing a handsome face, drinking tea.
"Fellow Daoist, it seems rather impolite of me to come uninvited,"
The young man in white smiled faintly, holding a jade cup in his hand, and looked up at the clouds in the sky. At this moment, the clouds slowed their pace slightly and looked at the man.
Dao Yin, the master of the forbidden zone!
It was indeed the beginning of the Immortal Ancient Era; he hadn't expected to encounter such a situation, which left him stunned.
"I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, there's no time to explain," Yun Hua said, passing by the Daoist temple and continuing on his way, chasing the ominous black shadow.
He gave chase, heading straight for the dark figure, which was actually heading towards the Boundary Sea.
Before he could even exchange a few words with Dao Yin, he galloped away. What puzzled him was that Dao Yin seemed not to have noticed the strange black shadow.
"The Boundary Sea!" Dao Yin exclaimed in astonishment, gazing at the distant spot where the human race had departed.
This seemingly reckless human powerhouse actually entered the Boundary Sea.
"Ten deaths and no chance of survival." Dao Yin sighed softly, watching the young man enter the Boundary Sea, and simply shook his head in regret.
Yunhua traveled swiftly, a path of clear, hazy light appearing beneath his feet, which he followed all the way to the boundary of the dam.
The boundless Boundary Sea exists in opposition to the Immortal Realm.
The immortal realm on the right is shrouded in immortal energy, while the boundary sea on the other side is shrouded in dark mist.
In the pitch-black fog, pairs of blood-red eyes could be faintly seen.
They are sharp and bloodthirsty, exuding an aura of destruction.
At the boundary between the Boundary Sea and the Immortal Realm, countless waves crashed against each other.
The barrier of the Immortal Realm was extremely strong, and to a large extent, it did not allow the dark creatures at the Boundary Sea to break through.
But one place is different. This place is home to many powerful beings from the Boundary Sea!
They kept crashing into the barrier of the immortal realm, making a rumbling sound that caused the surrounding area to tremble.
Fortunately, all of this was discovered by ten Immortal King-level powerhouses from the Immortal Realm.
They gathered together, continuously casting spells to repel the dark creatures that had broken in.
As the number of dark creatures in the Boundary Sea increased, the impact that could originally be easily suppressed began to become more difficult.
In the dim, dark mist, the simple blood-red eyes were no longer there, but began to take on some shapes.
The mere aura emanating from these forms caused even supreme beings at the Immortal King level to tremble.
Among the ten Celestial Kings on the shore, one who had witnessed the last Dark Reckoning said in a trembling voice, "Is darkness coming, the end of an era, and another great cycle about to begin?"
Without realizing it, he recalled the scene from the last major purge.
Darkness engulfed, the sky collapsed, black water poured in, and the mist that swallowed all living things still seemed to exist in his mind.
His prized talent was terribly weak in the face of that power.
If it weren't for the mastermind behind the Great Purge intentionally sparing a few lives to prolong the next one, allowing the next purge to proceed.
This Celestial King will surely perish!
An unprecedentedly powerful impact erupted at the edge of the boundary sea!
The hearts of more than a dozen Immortal Kings surged at this moment, feeling a powerful impact!
One of the young immortal kings was caught off guard and coughed up a mouthful of blood!
"Recover quickly! Join us in resisting the darkness!" shouted one of the Celestial Kings.
"Wen Dao" is the name of the aged immortal king who had lost his senses.
Even the calls of other Celestial Kings could not bring Wen Dao back to his senses.
The great suffering he had endured in the past caused him to lose his composure and focus.
Hiss! A gap appeared in the dam between the Boundary Sea and the Immortal Realm.
Wisps of black mist flowed out! Mixed within the black mist was a viscous, dark substance!
The closest Celestial King's body trembled uncontrollably!
The other Celestial Kings nearby also felt a sense of dread upon seeing this black mist. It seemed to be capable of eroding their very being!
"This is... dark matter! They're coming!" a Celestial King roared in anger!
He unleashed a series of magical seals, continuously bombarding the dark matter, attempting to force it back into the breach.
However, the effect was minimal. The dark matter continued to pour in, widening the breach.
The howls of the creatures on the other side of the boundary sea grew louder!
