Chapter 139 A Drop of Blood on the River of Time
"You can't even scratch him. Didn't that person leave you any protective measures?"

Shi Hao immediately changed the subject; Ye Qingxian's gaze made him temporarily put aside his memories.

"I don't know. Maybe it will be triggered when there is a life-threatening situation, but as your boss, I hate facing danger the most."

Ye Qingxian glanced at the opposite side of Tianyuan and said calmly.

Upon hearing her words, Shi Hao felt a surge of anger and wanted to suppress this unreliable leader. He said with some dissatisfaction, "You don't want to face danger, but I do, right?"

“You are different. Only in desperate situations like this can your potential be unleashed, allowing you to make rapid progress on your path of cultivation.”

Just as Ye Qingxian and Shi Hao were locked in a fierce struggle, several immortal kings from another realm completely carved out a passage in the Heavenly Abyss. While resisting the blood-red curse of the Heavenly Abyss, the dozen or so immortals and supreme beings behind them instantly rushed towards the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, heading towards the Imperial Pass.

At the Imperial Pass, supreme beings from all directions, such as Wang Changsheng, Qin Changsheng, and the Great Elder Meng Tianzheng, rushed forward and briefly blocked the leading immortal with the help of the power of the Primordial Imperial City.

"You two, stop chatting and get out of here!"

Meng Tianzheng transmitted his voice to Ye Qingxian and Shi Hao.

"No, I won't leave. I came to the Imperial Pass to hone myself in blood and fire."

Instead of retreating, Shi Hao took a step forward and rushed into the passage to the otherworld. Boundless runes spread beneath his feet, transforming into patterns of the Great Dao that surged forward. The power of time danced, stirring up the forces of the years, causing a supreme figure in the otherworld to age instantly.

"Hmm, the aura of the Xingzi Secret Technique?"

Ye Qingxian sensed traces of a secret technique from later generations in the precious technique he used, and glanced at Shi Hao with some surprise.

"Could this guy really be the future Desolate Heavenly Emperor? The Empress once said that when the Heavenly Emperor went to the Chaotic Ancient Era, he might go to find the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. Could it be that he has met the Heavenly Emperor?"

Ye Qingxian was somewhat surprised, but she also started walking forward.

A celestial bell mark was summoned above her head, and countless chains of divine order descended, transforming into a protective barrier of laws.

"Boom..."

The celestial bell trembled slightly, causing the entire world to shake. The origins of all things were shattered, and the sea of ​​laws boiled. In an instant, among the dozen or so people who had crossed over from other realms, one immortal and several supreme beings had their physical bodies and primordial spirits shattered by the bell's waves, resulting in their deaths and the dissipation of their Dao.

"The Immortal Bell Mark of Endless Time? No, it seems to far surpass the Great Dao of Endless Time, having reached the very end."

Before the interdimensional passage, when the bell rang, the Immortal King Yu Tuo's eyes burst forth with endless divine light, and countless strange phenomena appeared in his eyes. He looked at the immortal bell mark on Ye Qingxian's head and said in surprise.

Within the Immortal Bell's imprint, he saw the destruction of the universe, the end of civilization, and the demise of the Great Dao.

"Immortal King of another realm, retreat! You cannot take me away."

Dressed in white, with a celestial bell above her head and the order of the immortal path intertwined around her, Ye Qingxian, like an unparalleled female war goddess, calmly spoke towards the direction of the foreign land.

Before the Imperial Pass.

Both the foreign lands and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were quiet at this moment. Ye Qingxian's backup plan was somewhat unexpected by everyone.

The divine power displayed by the celestial weapon mark even made the Immortal King take notice; it shattered a celestial-level powerhouse simply by reviving on its own.

"Continue!" The Immortal King An Lan said calmly, and at the same time, the rules and order of the Great Dao in his hand intertwined into a golden spear, which fell into the hands of an immortal from another realm.

Although his peerless immortal royal weapon was reduced to scrap metal, it was easy for An Lan to condense the laws of order that made the immortal royal weapon.

As the warrior spirit wielding the golden spear reassembled by An Lan crossed the Heavenly Abyss Pass, a bloody battle erupted, staining the front of the Imperial Pass with the blood of countless living beings.

……

In the endless expanse of time and space, He Lang also encountered some trouble. His actions across the river of time almost rewrote ancient history, and even he could not completely quell the resulting impact.

The power of great cause and effect could not backfire on him, but it created a cause and effect that echoed through the ages, brewing a power that could settle accounts with him.

Soon after, He Lang sensed that downstream of the River of Time, a force was responding to the power of the Great Cause and Effect, seemingly wanting to settle accounts with him, the one who had disrupted ancient history, and was moving upstream against the flow of time.

"Purge me? Interesting. Could it be that the power of cause and effect can create something that can restrain me?"

With his control over time and space, if he wanted, he could change the course of the river of time in an instant, turning real history into an illusion and grafting it onto another timeline, allowing the reversed flow of time to trace back to the past, and letting the beings who responded to the call of the Great Cause and Effect be lost in the past. However, He Lang did not choose to do so. He wanted to see what kind of strength the people summoned by the Great Cause and Effect were.

He Lang stood on the long river of time, looking downstream, the light of the Great Dao accompanied by overwhelming blood energy shaking the long river of time.

Just as he was about to sweep across the river of time and strike down his enemy, he stopped swinging his fist, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

It was only because what crossed the lower reaches of the long river of time was a drop of blood, and the symbols of the Great Dao intertwined within the blood, transforming into a dazzling ball of light.

When the blood descended upon the point in time where he stood, that drop of blood instantly ignited, and the symbols of the Great Dao within the blood were imprinted on the upper reaches of the river of time, severing cause and effect, erasing time, and cutting off the path forward of the river of time.

At the same time, a hazy, illusory figure was projected onto the river of time, suppressing all heavenly secrets.

A drop of blood that permeates the past and future—the Dharma of Other-Transformation!

Is this a drop of Quasi-Immortal Emperor blood from Shi Hao in the future?

He Lang could tell the origin of the blood just by looking at the Dao patterns within it. What surprised him was what Shi Hao meant by this and why he would manifest a drop of blood to block his path.

He Lang stared at the drop of blood from a quasi-immortal emperor, traces of the Great Dao appearing in his eyes, evolving into complex symbols of the Great Dao. After a moment, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Apart from the Dao symbols at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, there was no consciousness within this drop of blood, which puzzled He Lang. It seemed that this drop of Emperor Blood had been summoned unconsciously.

He Lang looked thoughtful, thinking of a future timeline where Shi Hao was shown a powerful Immortal Emperor technique by the Corpse Immortal Emperor, who intervened across time and space, allowing Shi Hao to exist freely in endless time and space, ultimately merging the past and future to achieve the Immortal Emperor realm.

"Is this a way of telling me not to go any further? I'm going to go anyway!"

After He Lang finished comprehending the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao runes in the drop of blood, he directly unleashed the Dao Venerable's ultimate technique, Dao Bu Ke Lun, annihilating the illusory figure blocking his way. In just a few steps, he fell into the River of Time and disappeared.

Beyond this space-time, a peerless figure, whose magnificence caused even the Great Dao to weep, watched this scene with a mixture of amusement and disbelief, enveloped in the boundless radiance of the Great Dao.

"So, the story about encountering an unparalleled demon in the river was referring to me?"

Shi Hao, outside of time and space, said somewhat dejectedly.
