Transforming into a stunningly beautiful fox spirit, leaving a scar on the heart of a prodigy.

The spatial rift closed rapidly behind them, erasing all spatial coordinates.

Su Chang'an slowly turned around, facing the entrance to the River of Time that was completely sealed off by the dark blue frost.

Above the heavens, the Nine Heavens Tribulation was enraged. The Heavenly Dao's will, which had originally targeted Gu Xiang and the others, missed its target. The churning, dark tribulation clouds then focused all their destructive power on Su Chang'an alone.

The terrifying pressure of the thunderstorm materialized and crashed down. The remaining obsidian ruins inside the cave, under this silent pressure, were completely annihilated into fine dust without even a sound of cracking. A suffocating smell of burning filled the air.

Facing the wrath of Heaven pouring down from the dome, Su Chang'an's eyes remained unmoved, only filled with extreme coldness and resolve.

She held the Taiyin Magic Sword upside down in one hand, her tattered white robe fluttering in the stormy wind. Stepping through the dust and debris, she walked step by step toward the Taiyin Ice Net that she had laid out herself.

Li Changgeng had already led that extremely malevolent aura deep into the River of Time. Every moment of delay increased the risk of the karmic consequences from three thousand years ago collapsing completely.

She doesn't have time to waste here.

Just as Su Chang'an raised the Taiyin Sword, preparing to cleave through the ice net, the will of Heaven intervened. It would not allow this anomaly to violate the taboos of time once more.

The clouds of tribulation suddenly exploded, and dozens of chaotic divine lightning bolts, even more terrifying than before, struck down. These bolts did not explode in mid-air, but instead strangely elongated, transforming into thick chains of lightning.

The chains tightly bound the Taiyin Sword, then extended upwards, strangling Su Chang'an's arms and waist. Heaven was determined to pin her to the spot, completely sealing her off.

The lightning chains, imbued with the ultimate laws of destruction, relentlessly eroded Su Chang'an's defenses. The Taiyin Protective Aurora emitted cracking sounds under the strain, instantly becoming covered in countless fissures. Fine beads of blood, ripped from his fair skin by the lightning's power, were instantly frozen by the extreme cold of the Taiyin energy, solidifying into dazzling crimson ice crystals.

outside world.

Central Continent.

Deep within the Wang family compound, the Supreme Ancestor stared intently at the sea of ​​lightning through the remaining energy of heaven and earth. His withered lips trembled violently: "Chaotic Divine Lightning Locking... This is the ultimate method of Heaven's Dao to seal the origin!"

In the ancestral land of the Ji family, several powerful figures with profound backgrounds looked ashen-faced. They were all too aware of the terror of such suppression from the limits of heaven and earth.

One of them shook his head and sighed, his voice hoarse: "Under such annihilation, even if this woman has extraordinary abilities, she can only be obliterated. There is absolutely no possibility of breaking this deadlock."

Inside the cave.

The terrifying pressure of the Chaos Divine Lightning caused Su Chang'an's bones to grind together with a teeth-grinding sound. It was a pressure powerful enough to crush a Great Saint's body into mincemeat. Her knees were bent slightly under the pressure, as if she would kneel down under this divine might at any moment.

But she did not kneel.

Su Chang'an clenched her teeth, a cold, extremely contemptuous smile curling at the corners of her lips. Her fingers, gripping the sword hilt, were deathly pale from excessive force. In her clear, cold eyes, arrogance, far from being crushed by the will of heaven, burned brightly.

The laws of Heaven are always strict and unyielding; any unresolved issues must be settled with lives at stake. This thunderstorm is its way of settling scores, showing no mercy.

But she insisted on tearing up the ledger.

Su Chang'an held nothing back. She forcefully clashed and fused the newly reconstructed Heavenly Fox essence within her body with the Yin-Yang chilling power through her meridians. The Yin Moon Amber at her brow erupted with a piercing, dark blue light.

A solid phantom of a nine-tailed fire fox rose up again behind her.

The fire fox let out a fierce and domineering roar. It opened its enormous maw, large enough to devour the sun and moon, and bit down hard on the chaotic lightning chains binding Su Chang'an.

The tyranny of the Celestial Fox's origin, combined with the absolute zero of the Yin, revealed a power that transcended the laws of nature at this moment.

Click!

With a crisp snap, the lightning chains, representing the absolute shackles of Heaven, were shattered by the fire fox's bite.

The moment the shackles shattered, Su Chang'an gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands. She poured all her strength into the Taiyin Magic Sword, and facing the dissipating lightning, she fiercely slashed at the Taiyin Ice Net that was sealing the crack.

Boom!

A deafening roar shattered eardrums. The eternally solid, deep blue ice exploded, turning into countless ice shards.

The long-suppressed river of time finally revealed its terrifying true form once more. Grayish-white mist surged wildly from the cracks.

Those powerful figures outside who had predicted Su Chang'an's certain death were shocked to see the absolute suppression of the Heavenly Dao chains being bitten apart and the Taiyin Ice Net shattered. They all gasped in astonishment.

The Wang family patriarch felt his scalp tingle and collapsed to the ground. They were completely stunned by this violent method that disregarded the might of heaven, and for a moment the entire Central Continent cultivation world fell into a deathly silence.

The moment the ice net shattered, the Heavenly Dao descended into utter madness.

Above the dome, a thousand bolts of lightning struck simultaneously. A waterfall of purplish-black lightning, carrying the aura of annihilation, poured down upon Su Chang'an.

Su Chang'an didn't even glance at the world-destroying thunderstorm overhead. With a flick of her wrist, she sheathed the Taiyin Magic Sword. Facing the surging, erupting gray-white waves of time, she suddenly exerted force with her feet.

He transformed into a dazzling red and blue streak of light and leaped without hesitation into the rift in the river of time that Li Changgeng had torn open.

The moment she leaped into the crevice, the grey river of time instantly swallowed her up.

The power of time is already deadly to mortals, and in this long river of time, it can instantly turn bones into dust, leaving not even a trace of soul behind.

The terrifying law that anyone below the Emperor who touches the river will turn into sand immediately takes effect at this moment.

The tattered white robe on Su Chang'an turned to ashes in less than half a breath. Fine cracks began to appear on her fair skin. The sandification was spreading rapidly.

At the critical moment of life and death, the Taiyin Moon Amber between her brows erupted with absolute zero cold, which, combined with the powerful vitality of the Heavenly Fox Heart Blood, forcibly erected a red and blue law shield on her body.

The shield rubbed violently against the grayish-white River of Time, emitting an extremely piercing hiss. But this sandification trend, which was enough to obliterate the Great Sage, was forcefully suppressed by this red and blue shield.

The powerful beings outside sensed through the remaining energy of heaven and earth that Su Chang'an's aura had not been assimilated or obliterated after it entered the long river.

Everyone was so shocked they were completely speechless.

Defying the river of time and withstanding the erosion of the ages with their physical bodies—such a feat unfolded right before their eyes. The cultivation world of Central Continent was deathly silent.

Within a long river of time.

Su Chang'an steadied herself in the greyish-white river. Protected by the essence of the Heavenly Fox and the power of Taiyin, she cleaved through the thick, chaotic fog before her and completely disappeared into the torrent of history.

As her figure completely disappeared, the spacetime rift within the cave collapsed with a deafening roar in the final, destructive lightning bolt descended from the heavens.

The turbulent atmosphere of bygone eras has been completely severed.

The nine heavenly tribulations in the sky above the Central Continent, having lost all their targets, gradually weakened with thunder and could only dissipate into the world with resentment.

The underground caverns have returned to their deathly silence.

All that remained on the ground were unrecognizable obsidian fragments and ice shards. And in the depths of that spacetime where the coordinates had been completely erased, Su Chang'an officially began that fateful pursuit spanning three thousand years.
