Chapter 136 At the Pinnacle of Immortality, Supreme in the World!
As the power of time flowed, He Lang crossed the long river of time, leaving the era of "Covering the Sky" and heading upstream.

In that era, the Empress, the Great Emperor Wushi, and the Azure Emperor watched his departing figure with expressions of surprise.

Because beneath He Lang's feet, a bronze coffin appeared. It was not a real object, but a manifestation of the Dao and its rules, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes-filled aura of immortality, carrying He Lang across the long river of time upstream.

"That bronze coffin seems to have an even more astonishing origin than we know. The Heavenly Emperor is using the cause and effect of the bronze coffin in the vast universe as a guiding light to pinpoint the correct time in the long river of time."

When the Azure Emperor saw the bronze coffin, his eyes flickered, revealing an expression of surprise.

At the same time, the three of them discovered that as He Lang traversed upstream along the river of time, a series of footprints were imprinted on the river of time behind him, sparkling and indestructible.

He Lang's footprints left in the long river of time radiate a hazy light of the Great Dao, and no matter how turbulent the power of time is, it cannot erase a single trace of his imprint.

"When your cultivation reaches its limit in the future, you can follow the footprints I left on the river of time and go to the chaotic ancient era to hone yourselves."

Throughout the long river of time, He Lang's voice echoed across the river of time. The voice of the Heavenly Emperor boomed and roared, causing time to stand still. All the heavens throughout the ages trembled under the sound of the Dao.

"So the figure I saw crossing the river of time from the lower reaches of the river was actually him!"

The Azure Emperor sensed He Lang moving against the flow of time and suddenly spoke.

Ten thousand years ago, when he was deducing the path to immortality and gazing into the future, he saw a supreme being shrouded in the light of the Great Dao in the long river of time. Only after clearing away the fog of time today did he recall this event.

Not only the Azure Emperor, but also the Empress and the Great Emperor Wushi recalled some past events at this moment.

The story of the era of "Covering the Sky" continues to unfold, but for the time being, it has nothing to do with He Lang. He travels upstream along the river of time, witnessing the events of one era after another with a calm and detached attitude.

The waves of time could not shake his existence. The backlash from the river of time was directly obliterated by the light of the Great Dao on his body. He was unaffected by any of the myriad Daos. His supreme and invincible Immortal King Body directly obliterated the spreading power of cause and effect and suppressed the trajectory of time.

The ancient era, the primordial era, the mythological era—the mists of time that shrouded each era were pierced by He Lang, leading him to the even more distant chaotic ancient era.

The light of the Great Dao emanating from He Lang's body illuminated countless ages, almost causing the river of time to change course. With each step, he entered an era, directly stepping into the mysterious Chaotic Ancient Era.

"In the chaotic ancient era, the past, present, and future were reversed, and time was in complete chaos. No wonder Ye Fan and the Empress were unable to reach the correct point in time when they crossed time and space time and time again in the original work."

After crossing into the chaotic ancient era, the river of time turned into a state of chaos. The disordered laws of time disrupted all the secrets of heaven, blurring the distinction between past and future. This caused He Lang to stop his journey across time and deduce the cause and effect of this period of time. He wanted to dispel the fog of cause and effect and find the time point he wanted to reach.

The reason he sought to find the Desolate Emperor Shi Hao was because it involved the greatest cause and effect throughout history, and all traces of the Desolate Emperor had been obscured by time and could not be seen clearly.

This is also a major feature of the trilogy universe. Powerful beings who have reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm are shrouded in the mists of time, making it impossible for people to deduce the secrets and causes related to such beings, let alone Shi Hao, who has reached the Immortal Emperor realm or even surpassed the Immortal Emperor realm.

If He Lang hadn't cultivated the system of a supreme being, possessing unique and profound understanding of the application of laws and the Great Dao, he would never have even considered deduce the secrets of heaven related to Shi Hao, let alone do so.

When someone at the Immortal Emperor realm recites his true name, he will sense it, just as when someone in the myriad realms recites his name after he breaks through to the Immortal King realm, it will trigger anomalies that he will perceive.

The light of the Great Dao emanating from He Lang's body illuminated the years, as if creating the world. A phantom river of time appeared around him, overlapping with the real river of time.

Under his control, the originally disordered time was restored to order, and the endless ancient history that had been concealed was unveiled from the mists of time. In the endless cause and effect, He Lang locked onto a time node in the upper reaches of the river of time.

It was a vast, untamed wilderness, where a young couple, carrying a young child, crossed the endless expanse, leaving the child behind. Just as He Lang had deduced the correct timeline and was about to take his first step, a wave suddenly appeared on the river of time, halting his progress.

The power of great cause and effect?
He Lang sensed a powerful force of cause and effect emanating from the waves of time, which seemed to be closely related to him. This caused He Lang, who was originally preparing to destroy all obstacles with the supreme Dao, to pause for a moment.

He had a feeling that if he did not respond to the pull of the great causal force, a huge wave would emerge, the river of time might change course, and unpredictable changes would occur in the future, affecting countless eras to come.

This made He Lang, who had originally planned to continue his journey upstream along the river of time, stop in his tracks and begin to deduce why he had this feeling.

With a thought, He Lang's mind instantly traversed countless eras, gaining insight into endless causes and destinies, and grasping the connection that resonated with him.

A vast and wondrous vision appeared before his eyes, and he locked onto destiny and cause and effect. Finally, an incomparably majestic pass appeared before his eyes. On the city wall of the pass, some children and old people looked down at the countless living beings below with tragic expressions.

On the opposite side of this formidable pass, many other creatures, exuding murderous intent, gazed at the pass.

In their midst lay a vast abyss, where the rules of the heavens intertwined, and endless symbols of order shone with dazzling celestial light, blocking everything.

At this moment, a being at the level of a Celestial King was attacking the majestic pass. Its crystalline palm obliterated the boundless order runes within the Abyss of Order, causing all the myriad paths of heaven and earth to become unstable.

The source of He Lang's feeling was a young man on the Imperial Pass who looked very similar to Ye Fan.

"The Imperial Pass, the Heavenly Abyss, so that's how it is." In an instant, He Lang understood the reason.

In the original story, Ye Fan should be fighting his enemy at this moment, resonating with the Chaotic Ancient Battlefield in time and space, allowing Ye Fan to cross the river of time and arrive at this point in time. However, this time and space is now peaceful, so it is clear that Ye Fan and the Empress from the future did not go back to the past to seek help from Shi Hao.

At this moment, a powerful figure was destined to intervene to prevent certain events or maintain the course of history, and thus, the mysterious force of cause and effect came to him.

"Interesting. Since you're asking for my help, why don't you disperse your backlash?"

Having grasped the cause and effect, He Lang then rebuked the immense causal power that was constantly backfiring on him from the darkness!
As he finished speaking, the resistance on the river of time paused for a moment, then dissipated into the flow of time, and the causal power that clung to his body also briefly subsided.

Seeing this, He Lang knew that his moment to shine had arrived!
They directly entered the timeline of the Imperial Pass battlefield and calmly emerged from the river of time.

As He Lang entered this space-time, all the beings on that majestic pass, as well as the immortal king from another realm who was attacking Tianyuan, all turned their attention to him.

"What do you want, future immortal king who doesn't belong to this time and space?"

Opposite to the original imperial city.

From within the ancient golden chariot pulled by a golden bull, the whispers of An Lan, the immortal king of another realm, emanated.

Then, a young man wielding a golden spear, holding an immortal shield, and clad in armor emerged from the ancient chariot. The golden spear pointed at He Lang, who had emerged from the long river of time, overlooking the past and present, and standing proudly on the battlefield, displaying his heroic and majestic figure.

Seeing the future powerhouse emerge from the void, whose mere wisp of aura caused the endless sea of ​​orderly runes in the Heavenly Abyss to fall into stillness, both the beings on this side of the Heavenly Abyss and the alien beings on the other side were extremely wary.

"At the pinnacle of immortality, I reign supreme! Where there is the Heavenly Emperor, there is heaven. I am the Heavenly Emperor, invincible throughout the ages, traversing the ages, seeking the path to becoming an emperor and breaking through the ranks of kings!"
