Chapter 1455: Chapter 899: Not Existing in the Sea of Time

“It’s good to take a look at the past. Although our abilities… are limited, if the Master of Liu Village truly encounters some mishap… we may not be able to provide much support… But the Master of Liu Village is a person of great talent and strategy, who shares common goals with us and has helped Emperor Huang Tian many times…”

The Cruel Man let out a sigh. Her entire life had been unparalleled in brilliance, bowing to no one.

Throughout her journey, she devoured all she faced, dominated with peerless determination, standing shoulder to shoulder with the heavens, the sun, and the moon as a mere mortal, viewing those so-called Heavenly Prides as mere ants. Yet, when confronted by Jiang Hui, she felt an unprecedented, immense gap.

It seemed that every time she saw him, his power steadily increased. She especially remembered their first meeting–though she couldn’t fully grasp his capabilities, the pressure he exerted then was far less exaggerated compared to now. The last time they met, he was already capable of overpowering Immortal Emperor-level strange creatures.

But precisely because of this, he had been targeted, bringing unforeseen calamities upon himself.

These are turbulent times. That’s just the way of things.

As time ebbs and flows, the battles here have become fiercer and more intense. Even though they’ve only recently returned, they can clearly sense it.

The Bizarre Clan lurking in the darkness has intensified their attacks. While strange beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level were rare before, now Immortal Emperor-level beings have appeared more than once.

Though those Immortal Emperor-level beings have yet to act, it’s not because they lack the will–it’s because they’re constrained by the overwhelming karma above the Upper Heaven, unable to immediately reveal themselves, drifting in the chaotic currents of time.

But this phenomenon won’t last much longer.

Immortal Emperors, equal to the Tao, will inevitably descend one day. When that time comes, it will be the pivotal moment to decide the life and death of Above the Upper Heaven.

This is a foreseeable future. In the not-too-distant future, the situation Above the Upper Heaven will only grow more brutal.

The sole hope is awaiting the rise of Emperor Huang Tian.

Of course, if the Master of Liu Village could join them, it would be even better.

It’s just a pity–a will as resolute as an Immortal Emperor’s won’t change simply due to a few of their earnest pleas, and moreover, he may already be facing unimaginable tribulation.

“Let’s make this quick!”

The group exchanged glances with one another, without hesitation. Their decision made, they immediately tore open the fabric of the void with their hands.

In the faint distance, the sound of flowing water echoed continuously. Suddenly, a massive river surged in from the unknown end.

Time, silent and unspoken, revealed itself as a great river.

The river of time roared beneath their feet; each wave carried the weight of history’s vicissitudes and transformations.

The three mounted upon it, as if riding an immense vessel traversing through the river of time and space.

Mere moments later, the surrounding scenery began to change.

The stars and galaxies that were once clear and tangible gradually blurred, replaced by endless chaos and emptiness.

This was the intersection of time and space.

Up ahead,

The noise of turbulent waves crashing grew increasingly intense, almost deafening.

Ye Fan furrowed his brow slightly, a trace of surprise flickering across his face. This journey across time was different from before–it had never been like this.

Just as the trio was puzzling over the anomaly,

A magnificent and breathtaking scene slowly unfolded before them, like the most dazzling picture scroll in all creation.

Countless rivers of time surged forward like immense silver pythons, rushing in from unknown and distant places, with an unstoppable momentum that surged from all directions and converged into a colossal and uncontrollable torrent.

It was a splendorous ocean beyond imagination.

An ocean boundless and shimmering, as though it embraced the entirety of existence.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure; the shifting seas and mulberry fields; the erosion of stones over eons–all were contained within it.

The ocean’s waters stretched forth, transforming the space around the trio into wild, roaring tides. The oppressive force of the ocean overwhelmed everything.

“It’s the Time Ocean…”

Ye Fan spoke in a low voice, his eyes gleaming with golden light as he recognized this boundless sea.

The Time Ocean–even for Quasi-Immortal Emperors–was a legendary existence.

It was said to be the beginning and end of time.

Flowing endlessly, all rivers of time meet here, witnessing prosperity and decline, carrying both hope and dreams.

Every drop of seawater carried an unfathomable historical chapter within it.

More importantly, the Time Ocean exists above karma.

“Could it be due to the Guiding Stones?” The Cruel Man’s gaze shifted as she glanced at her own left hand thoughtfully.

At this moment, shimmering light seeped through the slender gaps between her fingers, glowing faintly from her hand, smooth and delicate like silk.

She wasn’t the only one.

Ye Fan and Wushi also shared the same phenomenon.

They each held Guiding Stones in their hands.

Both of them, being Quasi-Immortal Emperors, had just momentarily been stunned by the existence of the Time Ocean. Now, prompted by the Cruel Man’s remark, they quickly detected the strange anomaly.

“Three Guiding Stones crossing through time together and actually summoning the Time Ocean?” Wushi said incredulously.

“That’s not certain, but as far as I know, Guiding Stones have never caused such an event before…” This wasn’t the Cruel Man’s first trip to Liu Village, and she could keenly sense something had changed.

“It’s said that the Time Ocean exists above karma–as one gazes through it, it’s possible to glimpse things beyond what karma reveals. Gentlemen, I have an idea.” With his long black hair cascading over his shoulders, Ye Fan strode like a dragon and a tiger, heading toward the core of the Time Ocean, speaking aloud as he moved.

The trio had fought side by side for so long that their mutual understanding was seamless. Words didn’t need to be explicit; just by observing Ye Fan’s actions, the Cruel Man and Wushi already knew what he intended to do.

“Whatever the reason, if the Bizarre Clan truly targets the Master of Liu Village, we can use the Time Ocean to uncover the true outcome.”
