The colossal bell exuded an aura of chaos, each reverberation sending ripples of time cascading outward. It draped countless strands of immortal radiance, enveloping a towering figure who surged forward with incredible speed.
Another powerhouse had broken free from the river of time.
He emerged from the downstream, bearing boundless battle intent and peerless cultivation. Without a doubt, this was a quasi-Immortal Emperor-level expert.
“Who are you?!” Cang Di roared.
“I am Wu Shi!” the newcomer bellowed, immediately launching his attack. Having caught sight of Huang—the legendary figure—he wasted no time, charging forward to suppress the enemy.
His target was the trio from the future, aiming to block their advance.
**Dong!**
The bell tolled, resonating through the ages. Even with the river of time surging nearby, he showed no fear of its erosion. He directly manipulated the power of time, sweeping it toward all three adversaries.
The name “Wu Shi” shook the Boundary Sea, its echoes rolling through the immortal realms.
The mighty of the Immortal Domain had been watching the battle unfold in the Boundary Sea. Their hearts had turned cold moments ago—Huang, alone, faced seven quasi-Immortal Emperors. It was tragic, with no one able to aid him, no one to fight by his side. He had to endure it all himself.
But now, at last, a powerhouse had arrived. His domineering entrance, the tolling of his bell, and the declaration of his name sent shockwaves through the battlefield.
At this moment, even the most hardened warriors of the Immortal Domain felt their noses sting with emotion. Finally, someone had come to stand with Huang.
Some young women burst into tears, overwhelmed by the sorrow of Huang Tian Di’s plight. He had sacrificed too much in this war—his brothers fallen, his own child choosing blood sacrifice, leaving him to fight alone, bearing unimaginable burdens. Now, at last, an ally had arrived to fight alongside him. How could they not be moved?
Tears welled in many eyes. The battle had raged for so long, their hearts lodged in their throats. Fear and worry gnawed at them—what if Huang Tian Di fell? What if he perished in the Boundary Sea?
Everyone by Huang’s side had already died. If even he were to vanish, it would be a tragedy beyond measure for his lineage.
**Dong!**
Wu Shi summoned his weapon, clashing with the elder wielding the Ruler of Heaven. The bell’s impact shattered chaos, its temporal force surging forward with unmatched ferocity.
Simultaneously, he engaged the silver-haired man wielding a halberd bare-handed, striving to lighten Shi Hao’s burden.
Upon witnessing Huang Tian Di of this era firsthand, Wu Shi was deeply shaken. Seeing him single-handedly battle seven quasi-Immortal Emperors, enduring the darkest of times, stirred immense waves in his heart.
“Wu Shi, you cannot stop us!” the elder with the Ruler of Heaven shouted.
“You do not belong here—not even in our world. You emerged from a sealed ancient passage. Return to where you came from!” Wu Shi roared.
With those words, he revealed fragments of their origins.
Hearing this, Shi Hao’s eyes blazed as he scrutinized them.
Even the Annihilation Elder’s gaze sharpened, his mind racing with connections and implications.
Yu Di, Hong Di, and Cang Di were visibly shaken. Was the future truly so terrifying and complex? It seemed there were wars and flames beyond their understanding.
“Fellow Daoists, do not be distracted. Slay Huang, and all will be resolved—everything will turn to nothing!” the golden-armored woman from the future shouted, her battle robes fluttering.
They were wary, unable to unleash their full strength against Shi Hao.
They had prepared to die here—but only if they could deliver a fatal blow to Shi Hao. Yet, no such opportunity had presented itself. They were still waiting.
They needed Yu Di, Hong Di, and the others to engage Huang Tian Di in bloody combat. Then, at the critical moment, they would unleash their killing move to eliminate the terrifying human powerhouse.
“Kill!”
The Annihilation Elder seemed to awaken, roaring with a fury unlike his previous calm demeanor. Gone was any pretense of kinship with Shi Hao.
His aura was utterly terrifying, dark clouds of primordial darkness rolling from him, cracking the very depths of the Boundary Sea.
Even the dam trembled, a testament to his overwhelming might.
Shi Hao was in dire straits, besieged by seven experts intent on his life.
**Dong!**
The toll of Wu Shi’s bell shattered heaven and earth, temporal power enveloping all living beings.
**Pfft!**
But Wu Shi himself coughed up blood. Striking beings not of his era had invoked backlash.
“You need not face them. Leave them to me,” Shi Hao told Wu Shi, urging him not to engage Yu Di, Cang Di, Hong Di, or the Annihilation Elder.
These four were his to handle. Forcing interference would only harm Wu Shi gravely.
“Kill him first!”
The golden-armored woman commanded, deciding the trio would unite to suppress Wu Shi.
Though not of the same world, they had once coexisted in the same era, clashing before. They could fight without invoking the great karmic repercussions of the river of time.
“Kill!”
The silver-haired man roared, his halberd cleaving toward Wu Shi with imperial might. His silver hair cascaded like a waterfall, slicing through the Boundary Sea.
“You dare act so arrogantly?!”
At that moment, radiant light burst from the river of time. A massive cauldron emerged, exuding the aura of nine-colored immortal metal and the essence of all creation.
Beneath it stood a man—tall, his brows sharp, eyes cold as lightning. He swung an emperor’s fist, charging into battle.
**Dong!**
The cauldron above him trembled, intercepting the halberd in a dazzling clash of runes.
Then, bare-handed, he struck the Ruler of Heaven, sending it flying with earth-shaking force!
Yet, as he arrived, his form grew indistinct, shrouded by temporal power.
“Hmph. You share immense karma with someone here, hence this phenomenon. Existing in the same era, your body is drowned by time,” the golden-armored woman observed.
Her robes fluttered, the metallic chime of her armor woven from immortal metal threads ringing in the wind.
“Kill!”
The man beneath the cauldron bellowed, his fist hurtling toward the woman’s torso.
Her expression twisted. She knew his fist’s power all too well—having suffered from it before—and dared not take it head-on. Instead, she summoned her artifact.
A celestial spear manifested. For a woman to wield such a weapon was rare, yet it unleashed boundless slaughterous force!
**Clang!**
The newcomer’s fist met the spear, his strike unbroken.
**Clang! Clang! Clang!**
Now freed, Wu Shi joined the fray, his bell tolling as he suppressed the elder with the Ruler of Heaven, staggering him.
“No matter what, Huang must die today. We’ve already cast aside our lives—this ends now!” the golden-armored woman shrieked, her beautiful face now twisted with desperation.
She broke free, seeking to aid Yu Di, Hong Di, and Cang Di.
To her, slaying Huang was the sole priority—the most urgent matter shaping the future’s most critical events!
**Boom!**
The river of time quaked, waves crashing skyward as a woman emerged—clad in snow-white robes, her black hair flowing. Her beauty was peerless, her grace transcendent as she strode upon the waves.
She struck, intercepting the golden-armored woman.
“None may disrupt the river of time. Those who stir chaos will find their efforts futile. You do not belong here—you cannot change anything.”
Her voice was calm, her hand lifting in a blaze of immortal light, blocking the celestial spear and halting the golden-armored woman in her tracks.
Her words were truth. Those who recklessly altered major events in the river of time inevitably perished.
Only minor disturbances—those not affecting the grand tapestry of time—might be endured at great personal cost.
“Against Huang Tian Di, you are insufficient. In the end, all your efforts will be in vain,” the white-robed woman declared with certainty.
In the distance, Shi Hao’s gaze sharpened as he looked over, recognizing the familiar cauldron and the white-robed woman. His heart stirred.
He had seen her before—across different eras.
Now, the most intense battle erupted.
Quasi-Immortal Emperors clashed in the Boundary Sea.
The battle raged for two full days, shaking heaven and earth, drawing wails from ghosts and gods alike.
**Pfft!**
The first decisive outcome came between the white-robed woman and the golden-armored woman. In their duel, the former’s flawless techniques overwhelmed her opponent, sending her flying with a spray of blood.
Ever peerless, ever dominant—just as she had risen in legend, the White-Robed Female Emperor crushed her foe, leaving her coughing blood.
The golden-armored woman’s cultivation was formidable, but her combat instincts paled before the Female Emperor’s.
“Kill! Even if it means blood sacrifice in this era, Huang must die!” The golden-armored woman, disheveled and frantic, prepared to fight with her life.
She sought extreme measures to join the assault on Shi Hao.
“Seeing your desperation to kill Huang Tian Di, I no longer despair for the future. There is still hope,” the White-Robed Female Emperor said.
“Indeed!” The man beneath the cauldron nodded, his relentless assault forcing the silver-haired halberd wielder back, his hands splitting from the force.
**Dong!**
Elsewhere, Wu Shi’s bell tolled, its temporal power withering the elder’s beard and hair, aging him rapidly.
The Ruler of Heaven nearly slipped from his grasp.
“Perhaps the future still holds life, not utter despair,” Wu Shi said.
These words struck Shi Hao deeply. If even quasi-Immortal Emperors neared despair, what horrors awaited the future? What enemies would emerge?
He thought of Cao Yousheng’s warnings, the glimpses of a terrifying future.
Yet now, assassins had come for him. It was bizarre.
The fiercest battle was Shi Hao’s. Alone against four emperors, he bore immense pressure, his body bloodied yet his spirit only fiercer.
“Even if it means invoking great karma, even if we must blood sacrifice ourselves and die here—Huang must perish!”
The silver-haired halberd wielder, the elder with the Ruler of Heaven, and the golden-armored woman now fought with their lives.
Breaking free from their opponents, they ascended together, burning their most precious heart’s blood to unleash forbidden arts against Shi Hao.
**Boom!**
Wu Shi, the White-Robed Female Emperor, and the man beneath the cauldron shot upward like three immortal beams, intercepting the trio with relentless force.
The bloodshed intensified.
The river of time itself trembled, its flow threatening to shift.
“Fools! The river of time cannot be altered. None may change the great events of other eras!” the man beneath the cauldron roared, striking with overwhelming might.
Meanwhile, Shi Hao, encircled by four emperors, grew colder in demeanor. Thunderous fury gathered within him—it was time for a quasi-Immortal Emperor to fall.
