Living in the deep palace

"However, this is also a good opportunity to hone my 'Great Dao of Taiyi'."

A glint of light flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

Instead of simply resisting with his "Primordial Dao Body", he began to actively integrate his "Great Dao of Taiyi" into the torrent of time!
He began to try to understand the "order" of time and to appreciate the "cycle" of years.

Step by step, he went against the rushing river, heading towards the distant past that had long been buried by history... upstream!

His speed was not fast, but his determination was unwavering.

With each step he took, he could clearly feel his understanding of "time" deepening. His already bottlenecked half-step Taiyi Golden Immortal realm had once again shown a barely perceptible... improvement!
This journey against the current is dangerous, but also an unprecedented and tremendous opportunity!
Su Chen's mind was completely immersed in this understanding of the "Great Dao".

His figure continues to move through the long river of time.

He saw that the great war between the Heavenly Palace and the Divine Court was not, as later records described, a simple struggle between good and evil. It involved too much: the rise and fall of races, the clash of civilizations, and the conflict of different ideologies regarding the "Great Dao."

He saw how, after he left, his old friends fought bravely and relentlessly to protect the immortal path he had created during that catastrophe that lasted for 100,000 years, ultimately burning out their last bit of light and heat.

He even saw how, in the far more distant, barbaric era before even the Heavenly Palace was established, humanity struggled to survive amidst the chaos of demons and monsters, ultimately igniting the first spark of civilization belonging to the "immortals"...

These are all historical facts that actually happened.

Indeed, it was another side of his homeland that he had never known before.

However, the river of time is not a safe tourist corridor.

It is also full of deadly temptations and dangers!

When Su Chen reversed the flow to a certain point in time, his calm and unwavering Dao heart suddenly trembled!
He saw familiar figures smiling and waving at him from the phantoms on the riverbank.

There was free time, snow, Yu Le, Qing Que, Zhang Gui, Xu Han, and so many of his close friends who had fought alongside him...

They are all still alive.

They were all waiting for his return.

An emotion called "longing" that originated from the depths of the soul began to grow wildly!

All he needed to do was take a step toward that phantom.

He could then return to the era he missed the most.

He can make up for all the regrets!

"roll!"

However, just as that temptation was about to erode his Dao heart!

A terrifying light suddenly burst forth from Su Chen's eyes!

He roared, and his indestructible "Taiyi Dao Heart" trembled violently!
All illusions, all temptations, shattered in an instant!
What's past is past.

"My path lies ahead, not...behind me!"

Su Chen's eyes regained their clarity and became even more determined than before!

He knew that if he had wavered even slightly just now, his will would have been forever trapped in that fragment of "past" time, turning into an insignificant speck of dust in the long river of time!

Having severed the last "inner demon," Su Chen's speed suddenly increased!
He transformed into a streak of light, rushing against the current of time, frantically heading towards the source that connected to the "main road"!
After an unknown amount of time, he passed through an ancient region filled with an aura of "chaos" and "primordial chaos".

The view ahead suddenly opened up!
He finally arrived at the...end of this "tributary of time"!
What appeared before him was a scene of cosmic apocalypse that would shock and despair even the most powerful immortal!
In the endless dark void ahead, a chaotic, stormy river, immeasurable by any scale, more vast than any star river and more magnificent than any universe, was roaring and surging wildly!
That is the main road of the "river of time"!

Countless vast worlds, under its scouring, are constantly born and destroyed like fragile bubbles!

Giant stars, comparable to the sun, were swept into it, but before they could even cause a ripple, they were completely decomposed and obliterated by that terrifying power of time!
Thick, star-like tornadoes, composed entirely of the purest "time storms," ​​raged across the river! Writhing upon them were black "time rifts" powerful enough to tear apart even the Great Luo Dao Body!
This is a true forbidden zone for life! A death trap of despair!

"Is this... the road to the 'end of time'?"

Even with Su Chen's current state of mind, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine the moment he saw this scene!
He finally understood why, since ancient times, no one had dared to set foot in this place!
This is not a realm that living beings can even enter!

However, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back!

He has no way out!

Su Chen's gaze was fixed on the raging storm river, his powerful divine sense calculating frantically.

He is waiting!
As Xuan Yuan Jin Xian described, that once-in-a-millennium "gap in the eruption of the time turbulence"!
at last!

I do not know how long it has been!

In the instant that the two enormous "time storm" tornadoes, each capable of swallowing up a star field, crossed paths!
A brief but relatively smooth "safe passage" has appeared!
"It's now!"

An unprecedented glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes!
He pushed his "Primordial Dao Body" and "Great Dao of Taiyi" to their limits!

Without any further hesitation, his figure transformed into a chaotic streak of light that pierced the darkness, leaping powerfully from the end of the "tributary"!
It crashed headlong into that main thoroughfare of time, which represented ultimate terror and supreme opportunity!
……

……

boom--!!!!!!!!

When Su Chen's figure, like a comet that had taken no hesitation, leaped from the relatively calm "tributary" into the violent and chaotic "main road," a terrifying pressure a thousand times stronger than before instantly descended!

This is no longer a simple squeeze caused by the flow of time, but a kind of suppression at the conceptual level that originates from "infinite spacetime" itself!

At this moment, Su Chen felt as if he was no longer an independent individual, but had become a lone boat that could capsize at any moment, thrown into a boundless, chaotic, raging sea formed by the epic of birth and death of billions of universes!

Past, present, future... all concepts of time are completely disrupted, distorted, and crushed here!
In the previous instant, he could feel a "primordial chaos" aura from the beginning of the universe, attempting to break him down into the most fundamental particles.

The next instant, he seemed to be pulled to the "end" point where all things end and return to deathly silence, and an absolute "nothingness" that was enough to make even a Great Luo Golden Immortal's Dao heart collapse was frantically eroding his existence!

"Humph!"

Su Chen let out a cold snort, his body violently shaking in the raging torrent of time, but his upright figure was like the Primordial Divine Mountain rooted in the depths of chaos, never bending in the slightest!
"The Primordial Dao Body is impervious to all laws!"

Buzz—! ! ! !

A layer of dense, chaotic light burst forth from his body, transforming a hundred-foot radius around him into an absolute "domain"!
Within this realm, on one side lies the nine-colored divine light containing endless creation, evolving the wondrous scene of the birth of the universe and the beginning of all things.

On the other side, there is the deathly blackness that represents absolute end, devouring all light and laws, as if it were the final destination of all existence.

Creation and end, order and chaos, life and death...

These two diametrically opposed yet common supreme powers, under Su-Chen's will, intertwine and cycle perfectly, forming an absolute "present moment" independent of the river of time!
No matter how turbulent the torrent of time may be, no matter how the forces of the past and the future may tear and erode, they cannot shake this realm shrouded by the "Primordial Beginning" in the slightest!
"What a magnificent main thoroughfare of the River of Time!"

Su Chen steadied himself, feeling the terrifying power that was constantly impacting his domain, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He knew this was just the beginning.

The real danger is yet to come!

as predicted!

Just as he had adapted to the terrifying pressure, waves of malice, filled with resentment, madness, and chaos, suddenly locked onto him from all directions in the surging torrent of time!
"More...food...has arrived..."

“Fresh… 'existence'…”

"Swallow him...swallow him...and then we can...remember...who we are..."

Broken and chaotic wills, like ghostly whispers, echoed in Su Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

Then, in the surging, chaotic river, illusory and distorted "ghosts" made of pure fragments of time and lingering obsessions slowly emerged!

They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are ancient celestial generals wearing tattered immortal armor and wielding broken divine weapons; some are ancient demon gods with enormous bodies and a savage aura; and some are extraterrestrial demons from beyond the realm, with strange shapes and an ominous aura!
Without exception, they all exuded a dense, decaying aura, corroded by time! Their eyes were empty and crazed, filled only with the most primal desire for "existence" and... the instinct to devour!

"The Soul of Time!"

The name instantly popped into Su Chen's mind.

He immediately understood the origin of these monsters!
They are those who, since ancient times, overestimated themselves and tried to break into the river of time, only to be completely torn apart by that terrifying power of time, with even their true spirits unable to escape... the losers!
Their physical bodies have long been obliterated, their Dao fruits have long been decomposed, leaving only the deepest obsession and a fragment of memories. These have been assimilated and imprisoned by this merciless river, transforming them into these pathetic monsters that exist between "existence" and "non-existence," forever unable to be reborn!

Su Chen, this vibrant intruder from the "present," is undoubtedly the most dazzling and alluring beacon in the darkness for them!
"kill--!!!!!"

There was no communication, and no probing whatsoever!

The moment they saw Su Chen, the dozens of "Time Remnants" simultaneously let out a silent roar from the depths of their souls, transforming into streaks of twisted light that rushed madly towards Su Chen's "Primordial Domain" from all directions!
Their attack methods are extremely bizarre!

It is not a traditional supernatural power or law, but a more difficult-to-defend attack targeting the "timeline" itself!

The leader, a celestial general's remnant clad in tattered celestial armor, suddenly grabbed at Su Chen with its illusory hand!
In an instant, Su Chen felt that the causal thread between himself and the distant "past," and his homeland called "Mountain and Sea Realm," was being pulled violently by an invisible force, as if it would be forcibly severed at any moment!
Once this causal link is severed, the "root" of his existence as "Su Chen" will be completely erased! He will become water without a source, a rootless duckweed, and ultimately, he will be completely assimilated by this long river!

On the other side, the remnant soul of that ancient demon god opened its illusory, enormous maw, which seemed capable of devouring stars, and suddenly inhaled!
Su Chen could clearly feel that his "possibilities" leading to the "future," which should have been full of infinite possibilities, were forcibly swallowed and stripped away under this one breath!
His future was rapidly becoming... bleak! So bleak! Even... headed towards its end!
They are devouring his past! They are gnawing away at his future!

We must completely dismantle and devour his complete "existence"!
"What a bizarre method!"

Even with Su Chen's extensive experience, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill when faced with such an unprecedented attack method.

This has transcended a simple contest of strength; it is a conceptual war about "existence" and "nothingness"!

"Unfortunately, before my 'Primordial Beginning,' your so-called 'Time' is nothing but a joke!"

A terrifying divine light erupted from Su Chen's eyes!

At this moment, his "Primordial Domain" that enveloped his entire body began to operate with a roar!

"Wherever I am, that is the 'present moment'!"

"Taiyi Reincarnation Disc - Suppress!"

Buzz—! ! ! !

A massive, chaotic stone disc, large enough to cover an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, suddenly appeared behind Su Chen!
On that stone disc, it was no longer simply a matter of "life" and "death," but had evolved into profound Dao patterns representing "past," "present," and "future"!

With Su Chen's command!
The enormous wheel of reincarnation suddenly trembled!
An indescribable, supreme power, seemingly representing the ultimate mystery of "time" itself, suddenly spread out!
*Snap!*

The illusory hand that attempted to sever Su Chen's "past" was instantly obliterated by the "power of time" that was wrapped around it the moment it came into contact with this power!

The illusory maw that had been trying to devour Su Chen's "future" let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, and was forcibly... burst apart by the supreme will originating from "reincarnation"!
"ah--!!!!!"

"No...impossible..."

"What kind of power is this?!"

All the "Remnants of Time" emitted screams filled with pain and disbelief under the suppression of the "Taiyi Reincarnation Disc"!
They felt that their proud "timeline" attack, which was enough to give any Golden Immortal a headache, was like child's play in front of the other party, and was easily crushed!
The essence of the other party's "Tao" seems to transcend "time"!
"A group of pitiful creatures imprisoned by time."

Su Chen looked at the souls struggling in agony under the power of reincarnation, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.

"Very well, I will grant you a true... liberation." (End of Chapter)
