Mythical Three Kingdoms: Martial Arts Reach Divine Ranks, I Alone Rule the World

"The City Gate of Time?"

Zhang Jiao repeated the name in a low voice. Even though he had experienced countless storms, he didn't know how to describe his thoughts at this moment.

His gaze kept sweeping towards the City of Time, trying to see it clearly, not for any other reason than that he sensed countless powerful auras within the City of Time.

Each of these auras is no weaker than him now, and several of them even surpass him.

But as I watched...

Zhang Jiao's eyes were moved.

Because he noticed that in the chaotic void where the City of Time was located, which did not exist in time and space, a river of time had been born for no reason.

Once that river of time appeared, it stretched out and flowed into the distance, just like the source of the river of time where he was now.

Zhang Jiao didn't know where this brand-new river of time would flow, but he saw a completely new world emerging as the river of time flowed by.

"Is this how the river of time came to be?"

Zhang Jiao was utterly shocked, and a bitter feeling arose in his heart that only those who had reached the Dao Ancestor Realm and the Immortal Emperor Realm were qualified to explore even a corner of the world.

You're wrong!

In response to Zhang Jiao's words, this time it was not the terrifying being that had previously manipulated the tribulation lightning creatures to target him, but the being that tried to point a finger at him.

"This river of time was born because you, Zhang Jiao, stepped into the realm of Dao Ancestor."

"Only when you have the ability to incorporate this river of time into yourself and gather the different destinies that belong to you within it can you be considered to have reached the perfection of the Dao Ancestor realm and have the opportunity and qualification to look up to a higher realm."

"Of course, it's only a matter of having the opportunity and the qualification!"

"If you can't achieve that, the Dao Ancestor realm will be the end of your cultivation!"

After pointing his finger at Zhang Jiao and giving him a warning, he resolutely left the source of the River of Time and strode towards the dark God Ranking downstream of the River of Time.

During this time, his finger, which was originally aimed at Zhang Jiao and remained in the river of time, changed direction and went straight for the dark God Ranking and the illusory images of gods around it.

It's true that this being wanted to teach Zhang Jiao a lesson for "inviting the great man to his death," but compared to the threat of the Dark God Ranking, that little grudge was nothing.

This being, who is heading downstream in the long river of time, can still distinguish right from wrong when it comes to matters of principle.

after all.

If this dark divine list, which has transformed into the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man and is hidden beside Zhang Jiao, is not properly dealt with, the entire river of time in which the divine list is located will be tainted by the aura of decay, and the living beings within it will also fall into depravity, ultimately driving the entire river of time toward destruction and end.

As an immortal being born and transcended in this current river of time, the being who pointed at Zhang Jiao with his finger would certainly not allow such a thing to happen in the "Mother Realm".

Zhang Jiao watched the departing figure, then glanced at the being remaining at the source of the River of Time beside him, and hesitated in his heart whether he should follow.

Standing at the source of the river of time, Zhang Jiao clearly felt the restlessness and unease emanating from the dark divine list.

"You don't need to worry about that!"

"The Dark God Ranking will be dealt with by your prospective son-in-law and Guangwu. Their combined strength is sufficient, and even if they cannot resolve it..."

The being that had previously manipulated the tribulation lightning creatures turned its head to look at Zhang Jiao, its eyes revealing purple double pupils, and said, "At that point in time, with the Qin Emperor and the contingency plans I left behind, nothing could have gone wrong."

Listening to the comforting words of the person beside him, Zhang Jiao was not surprised at all when this person mentioned that the departed Emperor Realm Immortal was named Guangwu.

He had already guessed this.

Now it's simply been verified.

What truly surprised Zhang Jiao was the identity of the person beside him. He couldn't help but ask, "Could you perhaps be the legendary Hegemon Xiang Yu, who is said to have already perished?!"

Zhang Jiao asked the question, but his tone was very confident, especially when he looked into the eyes of the person speaking and saw the obvious double pupils, which made his guess even more certain.

"I am Xiang Yu, not Xiang Ji!"

"Zhang Jiao, the overlord Xiang Ji you know is dead. Or rather, after Xiang Ji broke through to the Overlord Realm and entered the Immortal Emperor Realm, he was surrounded and killed by nine powerful enemies comparable to the Immortal Emperor Realm during the great battle to defend the City of Time."

The being who called himself Xiang Yu responded to Zhang Jiao. As he spoke, he swept his palm across the void, and instantly a light and shadow appeared at the source of the river of time.

Amidst the light and shadow, an invincible emperor with double pupils bathes in blood and fights furiously in the chaos.

Behind this person who respected the Emperor of the Pupil Realm, the outline of the City of Time appeared faintly in the chaos, and all around him were terrifying creatures that were either humanoid, beast-like, beast-headed and human-bodied, or human-headed and beast-bodied.

They are hunting down the Double-Pupil Emperor Realm, attempting to cause him to bleed through the Chaos.

However, the individual combat power of the Double Pupil Emperor Realm in the scene was incomparably strong. The nine terrifying creatures did not dare to fight against it alone. In the end, they killed the Double Pupil Emperor Realm only after eight of the terrifying creatures were killed and one was seriously injured.

When the scene freezes, all Zhang Jiao sees is half an imperial weapon supporting the broken and tattered imperial realm with its double pupils, lamenting as it returns to the city gate of time.

After struggling to process what he was seeing, Zhang Jiao stared in shock at the person beside him who claimed to be Xiang Yu, not Xiang Ji, his confusion deepening.

Just as Zhang Jiao was wondering if the person in front of him might be in a similar situation to his two Dao Corpses, Yu Ji and Zuo Ci, existing for a long time as the Dao Corpses of Xiang Ji, the person who introduced himself as Xiang Yu immediately shattered Zhang Jiao's thoughts with his next sentence.

"I have never practiced Taoist arts, much less am I some kind of Taoist corpse!"

"I am who I am!"

"It could be Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu, but it could never be the Xiang Ji you know."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiao abandoned his speculation and asked directly, "Then who exactly are you?"

"Could it be that there is another Hegemon-King of Western Chu in this world?"

"Hahahaha!" The being with double pupils, who claimed to be Xiang Yu, not Xiang Ji, suddenly burst into loud laughter. "Only one Hegemon-King of Western Chu can be born in any given world!"

"But there was more than one Hegemon-King of Western Chu born beyond this realm!"

"Beyond Heaven and Earth?" Before Zhang Jiao could understand the meaning of these four words, he already felt himself being swept away by the being who claimed to be Xiang Yu, from the source of the River of Time to the River of Time that Guangwu had mentioned earlier, which appeared simultaneously with Zhang Jiao's entry into the Dao Ancestor realm.

He gazed at the surface of the river of time...

Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment.

As far as the eye can see, every drop of water in the river of time beneath his feet is like a small world, and in each small world, there is a Zhang Jiao living within, experiencing different lives.

Some of those Zhang Jiaos did not embark on the path of preaching and spreading the gospel. Some died young in the secular world, some served as Han officials, and some lived peaceful and uneventful lives.

However, most of Zhang Jiao's followers embarked on the path of missionary work, just as he had done before, and launched a rebellion to invite the Han Dynasty to their deaths.

But what was the result?

Zhang Jiao gazed upon a small world within the river of time, where "himself" had died of illness in Julu, and the Yellow Turban Army had disintegrated...

He shook his head speechlessly.

With his profound cultivation, how could he possibly die from a mere illness?

Then Zhang Jiao turned his gaze to another small world in the river of time. He noticed that in that world, not only did they successfully overthrow the corrupt Han Dynasty, but they also embarked on the path to immortality with the help of the faith of countless believers.

However, the path to immortality is difficult!

Finally, Zhang Jiao noticed that he had lived a difficult life of ten thousand years in the mortal world in that small world. Before passing away, he uttered an angry roar, "Does anyone know if there are immortals in this world? I regret that I cannot use my blood to offer sacrifices to the immortals," and then passed away with regret on the top of a high mountain.

Watching the entire life of "Zhang Jiao the Immortal Seeker," Zhang Jiao wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that "Zhang Jiao the Immortal Seeker" seemed to have sensed something before his death, and glanced subtly at the sky.

Is it a coincidence?

still is……

Zhang Jiao had no answer for the moment, but he knew one thing: the strength of the "Zhang Jiao who inquired about immortality" in the long river of time might not be inferior to his own before he entered the realm of Dao Ancestor.

However, it seems that the path to immortality in that world has been severed, preventing "Zhang Jiao, the Immortal Inquirer" from transcending further.

"May I ask if there are immortals in this world? I wish I could sacrifice my blood to them. You're quite interesting!" The voice of the being who called himself Xiang Yu rang in Zhang Jiao's ears.

The next moment, what he said made Zhang Jiao's hair stand on end.

"If you, like Xiang Ji, were to perish in the chaos of the future, the one who will inherit your will and come to this world from your river of time will most likely be him!"

"The old Taoist is dead, and Zhang Jiao, the Immortal Seeker, has come out?" Zhang Jiao looked at the person beside him in disbelief.

"Will the old Taoist still be himself then?"

Zhang Jiao felt both incredulous and deeply disturbed, realizing that he had already guessed why Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, had come.

Unexpectedly, faced with his concerns, the being who called himself Xiang Yu laughed nonchalantly and said, "Don't harbor too much malice towards your other self or me!"

"If I weren't here to maintain things, the river of time that originated from Xiang Ji's breakthrough into the Emperor Realm would have eventually disappeared into chaos."

"As long as I live, there's still a possibility he might return in the future!"

"If I die, and no one continues to control this world in the long river of time, then the original Xiang Ji will truly be dead!"

"and!"

"How can you be so sure?"

"Couldn't each version of yourself in the long river of time be a part of the real you?"
