Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Roar!!!"

The body of the source of the plague was covered with dense, blood-red light patterns. Its aura surged several times over, almost causing it to lose control of its power. When it roared, the area around Flame Mountain and tens of thousands of miles around it trembled and the stars in the sky shook as if they were about to fall.

Ruler of the Seven Palaces.

The ruler of the eight palaces.

The ruler of the Nine Palaces.

In just a few minutes, the cultivation of the root of the plague completely reached its peak before its death, and even underwent several changes in form, with a transformation in temperament that can be described as earth-shattering.

The Seven Palaces, Eight Palaces, and Nine Palaces are the three great realms of dominance, each with a terrifying chasm that is difficult to cross.

When the medicine's effects wore off, the source of the plague revealed a wicked smile, and emitted a chilling sound that echoed through the void.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

"Hahaha!!!"

At this point, the root of the plague had recovered to its peak strength, its body crimson inside and out, like a god forged from the blood of countless beings, exuding an aura of evil and brutality.

"........"

The Crimson Lotus Mountain Lord, who witnessed this scene, didn't say anything, but was somewhat surprised. This ancient emperor was indeed powerful in life, and now that his injuries have healed, he is even more advanced than it, which continues to devour the primordial fire.

"Congratulations, Ancient Emperor," Chi Lian flattered.

"No need for that. Finally, finally, this day has come. This is all my strength. It feels like a lifetime ago, like a dream. It's an unprecedentedly exhilarating experience."

The root of the epidemic sighed deeply, its hands reaching back and forth to touch the void, stretching out its arms, grasping or releasing its five fingers, carefully experiencing the surging of every inch of flesh and blood, and feeling particularly joyful.

"Remember to keep your promise and keep those two forbidden zone masters occupied for me." Jiang Mo smiled calmly, not forgetting to remind Wan'er of what he needed to do.

"Restrain them? I might even kill them!"

"Humph!"

The root of the epidemic was calm and composed. When it regained all its strength, it was no longer as cautious and timid as before, but its arrogance remained unchanged.

"Better so."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Mo gave one Battle Saint Pill each to the Root Plague and the Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain, and explained their specific functions.

"We've stockpiled them all. When we go to war with the Immortal Clan, we'll fight them without holding back."

"Yes!!!"

.......

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Mo set off for the Beast Taming Qingcang Sect. With a thought, he cast a spell, and a faint portal suddenly appeared in the void before him. Inside the portal was a beautiful and sacred landscape.

With a "whoosh!", Jiang Mo decisively crossed the threshold, traversing countless miles in an instant, and arrived outside the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect.

Upon arrival, one is greeted by a majestic divine peak, resembling a celestial palace. Spiritual beasts and celestial birds roam freely, and there are numerous palaces, buildings, and towers. Many disciples of the Beast Taming Sect are practicing sword flying techniques and engaging in daily training with their spiritual beasts.

As Jiang Mo gazed at the scene before him, ripples spread through the void, revealing a middle-aged man with masculine features, a cold expression, and dark gold eyes. The demonic aura emanating from him seemed endless; he was none other than Kunpeng, the strongest being in the Beast Taming Sect.

"please."

The man, sparing with words, stepped aside to make way for a jade-colored passage leading directly to the sacred ground of the Beast Taming Sect, the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"Ah."

Jiang Mo strode forward and soon arrived at the hall, where he was greeted by several transformed great demons, the elders of the Beast Taming Sect, Liu Qing, and the elderly Supreme Peak Dao Lord.

"Mysterious Venerable, how have you been? We meet again."

Among the seats, an elderly man who had met Jiang Mo before took the initiative to greet him with a kind smile. He was the master of the Chen surname Daoist who had previously been stationed in Jianzhou.

"Nothing's wrong."

Jiang Mo smiled in response. Then, he looked at Liu Qing, who was in the position of sect leader, and opened his left hand, revealing a jade box.

"As agreed, I have brought the items. I just wonder if Sect Leader Liu and the seniors present have truly thought this through?"

"Hmm...it's decided. We agree to your request..."

An elderly man sat listlessly on a stone chair, his throat bobbing as he uttered a few hoarse words, broken and weak.

He held a cane, his face was quite pale, and he looked like he was on his last legs. Compared with the Kunpeng Ancestor who was accompanying him, one was full of blood and energy like a furnace, while the other was about to die, with one foot in the coffin.

"Wow!"

Jiang Mo said no more. With a casual wave of his hand, the jade box flew out and landed in front of the old man. Kunpeng Ancestor grabbed it, opened it, looked at it warily, examined it for a moment, and finally dispelled his doubts before handing the pill to his old friend.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xuanzun. Your things are here."

Liu Qing returned a storage ring and slowly spoke:

"The essence blood of the twenty spirit beasts of my sect's twelve elders is all in there, as well as the essence blood of eight past sages and seniors Mo Long and Kunpeng, totaling thirty kinds."

"Oh?"

"Let me see."

Upon learning that there were thirty kinds of Sovereign Blood Essence, Jiang Mo was very pleased. He scanned his storage ring with his divine sense and found that, as Liu Qing had said, there were indeed several kinds of Sovereign Blood Essence that could rival the demon blood that the Crimson Lotus Mountain Lord had given him before.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you today. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

As Jiang Mo was about to take his leave, an aged voice rang out from somewhere in the hall:

"Young man, since you're already here, why not sit down and have a cup of hot tea?"

The one who persuaded Jiang Mo to stay was undoubtedly the strongest guardian beast of the Beast Taming Sect, the Ink Dragon Sword Turtle, the ruler of the Nine Palaces and Eight Stars. Although it was old and frail, its power was still extraordinary.

“I appreciate your kindness, senior, but I wish to make a trip to Zhongzhou to witness the grandeur of the River of Time. If we have another opportunity, we can sit down and discuss the Dao, drink tea, and enjoy music. If you have any important matters to discuss, senior, please feel free to speak frankly without any hesitation.”

Jiang Mo politely declined and explained the reasons.

"Is it important? I guess so."

The aged voice inside the hall chuckled slowly, then cut to the chase:

"If I may ask, young man, do you have a suitable spouse? Our sect leader has been cultivating for over 1,400 years and has yet to find a devoted partner. Young friend, are you interested in marrying her?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing, who was sitting in the superior position, couldn't help but blush slightly. The sect's elders had informed her about this matter beforehand, and she had no objections. However, now that it had been said directly, her heart still trembled slightly. She felt both nervous and expectant, but she dared not raise her eyes to look directly at Jiang Mo, who was not far away.

"Marriage? I have no feelings for men and women, but I do have a family when I was in Tianyuan. I thank you for your kindness, senior. As for Sect Leader Liu, she is indeed a near-perfect woman. I wish you find a good match soon."

Jiang Mo rejected the marriage proposal, and the atmosphere in the hall fell silent for a moment. Liu Qing felt slightly disappointed but not surprised. Instead, she smiled and felt relieved.

"Fellow Daoist, since you have a family, let's drop this matter."

"Well, I'll go now. Goodbye."

Jiang Mo turned around, vanished into the void, and instantly left the Beast Taming Qingcang Sect, locking onto a new coordinate: Central Continent Life Forbidden Zone - River of Time!

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

Jiang Mo traversed the chaotic and pitch-black space, breaking through numerous obstacles. In about 12 seconds, he reached the destination, emerged from the void, and fell into the real world.

The river of time has flowed on, and we've arrived!

Located in the northwest of Zhongzhou, the forbidden zone of life is particularly large, almost the same size as Feixian County.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

Between heaven and earth, all the movements of all things were submerged in the surging waves of the river. Jiang Mo was located on a vast plain, while the so-called River of Time hung upside down in the air, winding and shrinking inward in layers. The central area was the depths of the forbidden zone, shrouded in mist and impossible to see. For millions of years, no one knew what was inside except for the creatures that came out of it.

The river of time resembles a vast, grayish-white python, lying across the void, its waves surging, and each inward-collapsing vortex is filled with an inviolable power.

"amazing."

Feeling the fragments of the outermost river of time, each erosion could potentially take away a thousand years of lifespan, a touch of nostalgia rose in Jiang Mo's eyes. This was somewhat similar to the magic array he had set up outside the sect many years ago.

However, the biggest difference between the two is that the formations in the mortal realm accelerate the changes of matter through the Qi formation to create the effect of the passage of time, thereby suppressing and killing those who venture into the mountain.

The river here truly possesses a power called 'time,' which points directly to the source. Time corrodes all things equally, and those that cannot resist its power can only decay.

Jiang Mo stared intently and observed that the river channel had twisted inward more than ten thousand times, and each whirlpool created was of equal strength.

Even he felt a chill run down his spine at the thought.

This means that to truly traverse the river of time and reach the end, the physical body and soul would need to endure the baptism of time for tens of millions of years. Such a transformation of the world might be able to withstand the divine crystals of ancient life-bearing stars, but it would be unbearable for sentient beings with thoughts and consciousness.

Next, Jiang Mo looked at the river water. It was a whitish-gray liquid, almost vaporized, and very light.

"Wow!"

Jiang Mo flicked his finger and unleashed a divine power. The golden, bladeless, blazing light was extremely sharp and instantly struck towards the end of the River of Time. The moment it entered the river, the corrosion of a thousand years followed it like a shadow. The divine power could not escape and was severely affected, its power being cut in half.

"boom!"

"boom!"

After creating six waves, the Blazing Light without a Blade completely disappeared, submerged in the surging river.

Seeing this, Jiang Mo had no hope. Like his predecessors in the Immortal Realm, he could not break through this absolute barrier that had spanned millions of years and could dismantle all his killing moves into nothing more than ordinary dust.

"Now that I have come in person, why don't you come out and have a chat?"

Jiang Mo stood on the ground and shouted towards the River of Time in the void. His voice was not loud, even insignificant, and was drowned out by the sound of the surging water. But he firmly believed that the ruler inside had definitely noticed his arrival!

"Buzz!"

As expected, a projection, seemingly real yet fake, appeared from the end of the River of Time. It slowly walked over; it was just a projection, dressed in a black robe, exactly like the Lord of the Forbidden Zone whom we had seen before at Liyan Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist, didn't we agree that I would back down and not get involved in your feud? What brings you to my cave now?"

The old man, hidden in a black robe, spoke with a hint of helplessness, trying his best to communicate peacefully. Even with the river of time as a barrier, he still dared not act recklessly.

Because the river of time is both a barrier and a prison.

If Jiang Mo were to be angered, he could set up an array and a killing move on the outer perimeter of the River of Time, and then the creatures inside the forbidden zone would never be able to leave. Therefore, the old man was very sensible and communicated with Jiang Mo in an equal, even slightly humble, manner, asking him about his purpose in coming here.

Chapter 670 Time Amber

"You've offended me, and you think you can get away unscathed?"

Jiang Mo smiled coldly and said without any hesitation, "One thing at a time. I let you leave that day because I was kind. Now that I'm going to make trouble for you, can't I?"

"Found it, found it."

The master of the River of Time responded with utmost deference, adopting a humble attitude:

"However, it's not worth it for you to travel thousands of miles just to cause me trouble. To be honest, the River of Time has its own rules. Otherwise, since you are a guest, I should have invited you in for a chat."

"Let's speak frankly. If Fellow Daoist Jiang really wants to cause me trouble, it will only be in vain. You can see the limitations of the River of Time clearly. From its inception to the present day, no one in all eternity has been able to cross it. Forgive my rudeness, but even if you are a Xuanzun, you are no match for it."

"Thinking about it, I think it's more meaningful for us to make peace and resolve our differences. Otherwise, if we damage our harmony and I become a thousand or ten thousand years old tortoise, which would displease you, fellow Daoist, that would not be my intention at all. It would just be a matter of valuing my life."

The master of the River of Time spoke several times in a hushed tone, his meaning implying that he did not want to antagonize Jiang Mo.

Seeing that it had such awareness, Jiang Mo changed the subject and asked:

"I want to know, was it the King of the Immortal Clan who approached you, or were it the other two Lords of the Forbidden Zones who sought you out?"

"......"

Without hesitation, the master of the River of Time said, "The ruler of the Heavenly Demon Pit and I had a conflict in a certain era, which is why we became acquainted. A few days ago, it and another master of the forbidden zone descended upon the River of Time, explained their purpose, and afterwards promised me one-third of the treasures and the corpse. I weighed the pros and cons and felt it was worth a try, so I came into this world."

"I never expected to run into you. I immediately knew I was no match for you, so I feigned weakness and fled."

"As for the Immortal Clan, they have never contacted me from beginning to end, and of course, I will not give them the opportunity to contact me."

"Oh? So you have quite a grudge against the Immortal Clan? That's why you're deliberately avoiding them?" Jiang Mo pressed on, taking the opportunity to probe.

"Everything inside is rejecting them."

The master of the River of Time raised his left hand, casually pointed behind him, and then added:

"Over the past millions of years, one after another ultimate powerhouse born from the Immortal Clan has visited this place, attempting to force their way in and seize the creation. We have intercepted them all. Over time, in order to avoid the outbreak of war, we deliberately avoid them."

"In short, all of it is just disgusting."

Listening to the description from the master of the River of Time, Jiang Mo secretly observed with his Eye of Truth and, relying on his keenest intuition, finally determined that the man was not lying.

"Then guess what happened after you left?" Jiang Mo asked.

"You won?"

The master of the River of Time frowned. In its view, after Jiang Mo displayed the terrifying ability to destroy the forbidden zone with a single blow, none of the eight Dao Lords present dared to continue to be defiant. As for the remaining two masters of the forbidden zone, it was probably unrealistic for them to run away in front of everyone.

"Can't talk about it."
