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

"I personally killed one of the two Forbidden Zone Lords. The other one, the one from the Heavenly Demon Pit, escaped into the boundless starry sky beyond the heavens. The eight supreme True Monarchs of the four major lineages went to besiege him, but they were ambushed by the Immortal Clan and other Forbidden Zone Lords. A total of 5 people died and 3 were seriously injured."

Jiang Mo briefly recounted what had happened that day.

"!"

The speaker was intentionally giving a warning, which made the listener even more terrified. In the blink of an eye, the master of the River of Time felt a bone-chilling cold, as if he had just brushed past death.

In an instant, it understood everything. During that day's hunt, Li Yan Mountain was a piece of fat meat, and it was probably also a piece of fat meat that the Immortal Clan had their eyes on. The giant of the Heavenly Demon Pit was the fishhook that had locked it up.

Fortunately.

It was cautious enough and afraid of death that it did not start a full-scale war with Jiang Mo and others from Liyan Mountain at that time; otherwise, it would have been the mastermind behind the scenes who would have benefited from the conflict.

Thinking of this, the master of the River of Time frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that the Heavenly Demon Pit and the Immortal Clan would join forces. You should know that the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Pit was transformed from the remains of someone who was seriously injured and almost killed by the Immortal Clan. Logically speaking, the two should never have gone together.

"Heh, looks like I'm lucky; I've escaped unscathed."

The master of the River of Time remained silent for a long time before uttering a self-deprecating remark, his fear replaced by a lingering palpitation.

"So, fellow Daoist, you've come here to drag me into this mess and fight the Immortal Clan together?"

"I mainly came to see the scenery of the River of Time. I was just curious. I heard it's a unique sight in the Immortal Realm, and it seems the trip was worthwhile. As for trying to win you over? That's secondary."

Jiang Mo spoke casually, his gaze sweeping across the sky, looking at the vast sea and river hanging upside down on the horizon. It was truly beautiful and magnificent to the extreme, which made him feel much better.

"The Immortal Clan..."

Faced with Jiang Mo's invitation, the master of the River of Time was slightly moved, but the fleeting thought was quickly extinguished by reason, and it slowly declined:

“I am happy to see fellow Daoist wage war against them. However, their power is too great, so great that I can hardly look them in the eye. If it weren’t for the natural advantage of the River of Time, I wouldn’t even have the courage to emerge into the world. I’m ashamed to say that I may not be a match for the Immortal Kings. In fact, I may not be confident in defeating the other forbidden zone giants who are driven by them.”

"I am willing but unable to do so. Please forgive me."

The master of the River of Time made it clear that he would not participate in this war. With his cultivation and abilities, he was not capable of influencing the course of the battle. If he rashly joined, he would mostly be cannon fodder. It would be better for him to stay in the restricted area and watch the fire burn from the sidelines.

"Since you're not going to participate, how about I borrow some weapons?"

Jiang Mo asked with a smile, not being polite at all, and directly asked the other party for it:

"Ideally, I'd like to bring you a few innate magical artifacts. I'll return them after I've used them, and I'll smash the immortal race for you, along with the head of a celestial demon giant."

"......"

The master of the River of Time had a black line appear on his forehead, truly speechless.

Do you need my innate magical artifacts, or several?

How could I dare lend that out!

If you lend it out, you might not get it back alive!

Just as the Master of the River of Time was inwardly grumbling and about to refuse, Jiang Mo spoke as if he had anticipated it:

“If I lose, it will not benefit you in any way. This operation will fail, and the Immortal Clan will become your enemy. Do you think you will have any chance to get out after the Immortal Clan wins this war? The Immortal Clan will imprison everything here and prevent you from ever escaping. Since you cannot obtain the River of Time, it is fine to give it up.”

"You can only pray that I win, and all those trump cards and magical artifacts you have in your hands, are you going to save them for the immortals to use later?"

"..."

These incisive words struck a nerve with the owner of the River of Time.

If its cultivation were unparalleled in the Immortal Realm, and it were also protected by the River of Time, it would be perfect. However, its abilities are not yet unparalleled in the Immortal Realm, thus limiting it greatly in this era.

Whether it's Jiang Mo's side or the Immortal Clan's side, they can block the River of Time from the outside if they want, causing endless trouble.

"How do you want me to believe you?"

"I could just leave right now!"

"What can you do about it!"

Suddenly, the master of the River of Time's tone turned cold and domineering, and his overwhelming aura instantly went out of control, causing the surrounding River of Time to surge with towering waves.

"Believe in me, and you will have peace for many lifetimes, ten lifetimes, a hundred lifetimes, or even a thousand lifetimes. If you don't believe me, that's fine too. I'll turn around and leave."

Jiang Mo smiled indifferently, acknowledging its statement:

“Yes, you can go back into the forbidden zone right now, and no one can threaten you. At worst, you can come out again in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, perfectly avoiding this war. But you may also lose the only chance in eternity, a chance for the creatures of the River of Time to see the light of day again and have their own territory.”

"I can't do anything to you. I'm just a brute with limited abilities. Even my pride in my martial prowess seems pale and weak before your vast river. So... there's nothing more to say."

After speaking, Jiang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that everything was fine.

He respected the wishes of the River of Time and would never force or threaten him. With his current cultivation level, he was too lazy to scheme, too lazy to threaten, and even more too lazy to plot and scheme. At worst, he would just push through with a single sword strike.

The master of the River of Time fell silent, lost in thought, its gaze growing ever deeper, a struggle between ambition and fear raging within it. Its reason gradually crumbled, and it could not offer a response for a long time.

About two minutes passed, and it remained motionless. Jiang Mo understood, and said nothing more, simply offering a slight bow and bidding farewell:

"I apologize for the intrusion. Let's talk again another day."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked away. With each step, void patterns gathered beneath his feet, creating dense ripples, and his entire body seemed to teleport to another space.

"and many more!"

Just then, a sharp shout came from behind. The master of the River of Time wavered, hesitated repeatedly, and finally made up his mind, gritting his teeth and saying:

"I can help you, but not much. Innate magic artifacts aren't like cabbages growing on the roadside. You want three, but I don't have any yet!"

"Those two are fine too. Having one more gives us a better chance of success." Jiang Mo turned around, revealing a satisfied smile.

As expected, he guessed right; the master of the River of Time would not let go of this excellent opportunity for cooperation.

"Nonsense! I only have one thing."

The owner of the River of Time cursed and swore:

"What you saw before was the barrier that blocked your killing moves."

As it spoke, it raised its hand and created a phantom image, in which a light ink-colored bead floated, covered with dense patterns that were very obscure and difficult to understand.

"What is this?" Jiang Mo narrowed his eyes, a hint of curiosity rising within him.

"The Divine Life Bead is a relic left by a powerful being from ancient times. It can release a barrier that protects the wearer and even all living beings. It can absorb all attacks and turn them into power to continuously strengthen the protective barrier. It will consume the wearer's spiritual energy, flesh and blood, soul and so on. The price paid is quite high, but the defense obtained is almost the best in the Immortal Realm, if not the best."

The master of the River of Time raised his right hand and grasped at a spot in the river. A white light flashed like lightning within it.

Immediately afterwards, with a splash of water, a light black bead was retrieved from the depths of the forbidden zone, carrying a strong sense of time and an air of antiquity.

"It contains hundreds of supernatural powers, which do not require deliberate refinement; the wearer can control them with just a thought."

The owner of the River of Time reluctantly handed over the bead, repeatedly instructing:

"Remember, it's a loan, a loan, and you have to pay it back! I hope that within a hundred years after the war between you and the Immortal Clan ends, you will return it to me."

"No need to wait that long, I'll give it to you as soon as it's over," Jiang Mo said confidently.

"Go ahead and activate it. If it breaks in the war, I won't blame you. Everything has its limits. It's perfectly normal that this bead can't withstand the power of many Immortal Kings."

At this point, it found it funny itself, and then let out a cold laugh:

"After all, what I'm giving you is a primordial magic weapon, while you're betting your life, fellow Daoist."

"I will try my best to take good care of it."

Jiang Mo took the Divine Fate Pearl. As he gently grasped the pearl with his five fingers, a large amount of information flooded his mind during the refining process, allowing him to analyze it.

In about ten minutes, Jiang Mo finished refining the Divine Life Pearl and gained a general understanding of its abilities. It could indeed provide him with a lot of help, like having an extra layer of incredibly thick armor.

"Anything else? Your River of Time is a notorious forbidden zone in Central Continent, you can't be so pathetic, accumulating for millions of years and ending up with just one innate magic artifact, can you?"

"What can I do? I was born at the wrong time. This kind of weapon is rare and hard to come by. Where am I supposed to find it?"

The master of the River of Time was also helpless. Almost every generation of giants of the River of Time was born, and the Dao lineage of that generation was terrifyingly strong. There were also supreme Dao Lords and extreme martial gods who could compete with them. Hunting down targets and seizing innate magic weapons was not easy. It was almost as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"However, don't worry, I won't let you die for nothing. I have other methods to deal with the kings of the Immortal Clan and those rulers of the forbidden zones. They are not innate magic artifacts, but their effects are no less than those of innate magic artifacts."

The master of the River of Time muttered incoherently while chanting ancient and complex incantations.

In an instant, the entire world trembled slightly, the ground shook violently, and the giant river in the sky flowed slowly, dropping one gray spherical bubble after another. From its initial enormous size that blotted out the sun, it shrank continuously, its color becoming deeper and deeper, until finally, it completely transformed from gray into a black hole, only the size of a palm.

"Time Amber, a product of the river, is so rare that only one might be found every few hundred thousand years. It has the strongest sealing effect in the Immortal Realm, capable of holding a ten-thousand-foot mountain or sea inside. Once sealed, time inside will almost freeze. No matter if it is the Nine Palaces Ruler or the Supreme Dao Lord, none of them can get out. They can only watch helplessly as they achieve immortality and live as long as the heavens in the form of a living dead."

"The internal and external structures are very sturdy, able to withstand the bombardment of two innate magic weapons without collapsing. However, if it breaks, the contents inside will also be lost. The power of tens of thousands of years will wash over it and completely obliterate the remains."

"There are five of these in total. I'm giving them all to you. If you have the ability, you can capture the Immortal Kings and the giants of the forbidden zones. These things can make them die in despair as time passes by numbly."

"At the same time, these amber pieces can only be opened and closed once. If this is exceeded, they will disintegrate on their own."

"How do I activate it?"

Jiang Mo lowered his eyes, looking at a black sphere in his palm. Inside, it was like a pitch-black world, where the passage of time was completely imperceptible, and everything was deathly still.

"Beat the target until he is half-paralyzed, and when he has no power to resist, just throw him in. There are no other requirements. It will imprison the prey on its own, and it will be done in one go. The prey will transform from pitch black to scarlet red, and the trapped prey will sense the passage of hundreds of thousands of years in an instant, becoming numb and mechanical, almost like a living dead."

"The master of the River of Time said coldly."

Chapter 671 Chasing Yue

According to it, the moment the prey is thrown in, its life will be eroded by hundreds of thousands of years, and the longer it is imprisoned, the more severe the erosion will be.

Moreover, this Time Amber has no mass or physical form, existing in a state where it cannot be attacked or penetrated, making its defenses even more impenetrable than most innate magical artifacts.

Once prey is caught, even a minute of imprisonment can feel like eighteen million years, which is extremely torturous for any living creature in the cage.

This sense of being robbed by time is unavoidable. Unlike seclusion or slumber, which can lessen the impact, it completely adds eighteen million years of erosion to the consciousness, enough to make even a perfectly mentally sound Dao Lord of the Extreme Realm lose all power to struggle.

In theory, the flow of time inside and outside the Time Amber is different. If ten years have passed outside, it would be an astronomical number of days of imprisonment inside. However, when the prisoner is released, his physical body still retains the passage of ten years. From this point of view, it is an excellent weapon for murder and possession.

However, at first glance, the Time Amber does seem perfect, even surpassing some innate magical artifacts. In reality, it has two fatal flaws.

1. Can only be used once. When in black state, it can be preserved forever. When it transforms into scarlet state, it can exist for a maximum of 20,000 years.

2; The opening and closing speeds are relatively slow, with each process requiring about ten breaths, making it useless in actual combat.

Apart from these two points, the Time Amber has no other flaws.

Jiang Mo gazed thoughtfully at the black sphere in his palm, and murmured:

"The upper limit is over 630 billion years, which is 45 times older than the entire universe. Even a Dao Lord at the pinnacle of cultivation would be worn down and die inside..."

"Fellow Daoist, what impressive skills!"

Jiang Mo instantly felt a chill creep up his neck. Fortunately, his cultivation was strong enough. Otherwise, if he had been attacked by the three forbidden zone masters, the eight supreme peak Dao Lords, and other ultimate beings lurking behind the scenes that day, they might have suppressed him and stuffed him into this Time Amber.

At that point, he will only be able to struggle in vain, with no chance of turning the tide.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo made no attempt to conceal his killing intent, which silently overflowed. He stared at the master of the River of Time with a gaze as sharp as a blade, making the latter tremble with fear.

"Mysterious Venerable One, are you not satisfied with this item?"

The owner of the River of Time asked the question knowingly, meeting his gaze calmly and composedly. Its true form was hidden deep within the River of Time, safe from danger, so it naturally felt more confident when facing Jiang Mo.

"satisfy."

"It seems that your Immortal Realm has a lot of tricks and supernatural powers. I almost got killed by you. Fortunately, I was in a good mood that day and let you go. Now it seems that my unintentional act was a brilliant move in the game. Tell me, who was the lucky one, me or you?"

Jiang Mo accepted the five Time Ambers and sighed leisurely, his killing intent gradually dissipating.

"They're all lucky."

The master of the River of Time spread his hands and said, his face filled with anticipation:

"With the help of the Divine Life Pearl and the Time Amber, I wish you a great victory, fellow Daoist."

"..."

Jiang Mo didn't say anything more, just smiled slightly, and his thoughts drifted into the distance.

That day, he lingered outside the River of Time for a long time, chatting idly with the local tycoons. Most of the time, he gazed up at the magnificent view of the inverted sky.

As dusk fell and the setting sun dipped below the horizon, Jiang Mo bid farewell to the Master of the River of Time and returned to Liyan Mountain first.

"Wow!"

A streak of silver-gray light tore through the void, traveling millions of miles in an instant before disappearing at the ends of the earth, yet it had no effect whatsoever on the real world. It was eerily silent, as if it did not exist, a testament to the ultimate control over power.

Outside the River of Time, the giant gazed at the dazzling silver-gray streaks stretching across the sky, watching Jiang Mo depart. His heartstrings twitched, and he couldn't help but feel tense.

"Can the Immortal Clan really be defeated? Oh well, it would be enough to tear a piece of flesh from them."

"Ugh......"

A slightly pessimistic sigh echoed in this world. Ultimately, the master of the River of Time was still not confident in Jiang Mo's methods, but the coercion of fate forced it to make such a choice.

If they don't offer help now, it's unlikely that another powerful figure capable of challenging the immortals will appear in the hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of years to come. Therefore, the master of the River of Time seized this fleeting opportunity and placed a crazy bet, hoping that neither he nor that person would lose too badly.
