Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 600 - 590: An Unprecedented Crisis! Winds and Storms Loom!

The star sea was tranquil, and the Three Pure Ones Dharma Aspect stood tall before the Celestial Dao Stone Sect, providing a formidable visual impact.

Under the immense power of the Three Pristine Ones, tangible Law Fragments floated within the star sea.

In the next moment, a phantom of the Nine Dragon Imperial Chariot appeared under the feet of the Primordial Venerable, who held the Pangu Banner, surrounded by terrifying Dao rhyme and astral wind. Behind Sect Leader Tongtian, four swords resonated, splitting the heavens with extreme Sword Intent, seemingly tearing many particle voids. Above Taiqing the Celestial Lord of Tao and Virtue’s head hovered the Profound Yellow Tower Magical Treasure, and behind him, a Tai Chi Diagram emerged, evolving into an illusionary painting of the Yin-Yang purgatory.

For a moment, three extreme pressures simultaneously bore down on Su Mu, as the three released their full auras without reservation.

"For you to perish here is not a disgrace."

Sect Leader Tongtian looked down upon Su Mu from above, and then blood beads burst forth from his palm.

The blood beads rose, merging into the four Immortal Slaying Swords behind him.

Instantaneously, the four swords converged before Sect Leader Tongtian, transforming into four scarlet Long Rivers traversing the star sea, at the confluence of the sword rivers and star rivers emerged billions of fierce spirits, gnawing at the spatial veins, rushing to slaughter Su Mu.

Sect Leader Tongtian was the first to launch an attack, formidable battle intent blazing in his pupils.

Seeing this, Su Mu regarded the crimson Long River engulfing billions of fierce spirits charging toward him.

His expression was serene, his gaze sharp, and his aura erupted as powerful Spiritual Power swirled around him.

Beneath the colossal crimson Long River, Su Mu appeared particularly insignificant, like an ant on the verge of being devoured at any moment.

Su Mu slowly raised his right hand.

Just as the crimson Long River was about to engulf Su Mu, he used two fingers as a sword, slashing toward the crimson Long River teeming with billions of fierce spirits.

Zheng—

The sound of a sword’s resonance echoed throughout the star sea.

The crimson Long River was instantly split into two, the fierce spirits obliterated, and the sword river shattered into countless specks of dust.

In that instant, half of the four swords behind Sect Leader Tongtian shattered, and he staggered back several steps before stabilizing himself.

He was utterly shocked, never imagining that his strike could be so effortlessly nullified by Su Mu as if it were nothing!

The initial clash between Tongtian and Su Mu was also witnessed by the other two, causing massive waves of astonishment to surge within them.

They clearly understood that among the three, in terms of sheer destructive power and killing prowess, Sect Leader Tongtian was slightly stronger than the other two, yet he couldn’t even scratch Su Mu, highlighting the stark disparity.

....

In the next second, the Primordial Venerable wielded the Pangu Banner, behind him in the void of the star sea, opening immense eyes akin to a terrifying blood gaze of a primordial giant beast awakening from the depths of oblivion, its vast form looming faintly.

It was a primordial giant beast, formed by the resentment of three thousand great tribulations, every scale embedded with shattered Innate Spiritual Treasures, its gigantic body occupying nearly half of the star sea!

"Taiqing, let us strike together, leave no room for doubt."

With a roar from the Primordial Venerable.

The Supreme Laojun, holding the duster, unleashed strands of techniques from it, and behind him, the Tai Chi Diagram drew up an enormous Yin Yang Grinding Disc, reflecting the immense blood gaze behind the Primordial Venerable.

Beneath him, an illusion of Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite appeared, the tower body radiating myriad hues of Profound Yellow Qi, causing the entire star sea to surge instantly.

Su Mu stood firm at the center of the crumbling star sea, allowing his robe to be torn into vibrant streams by the Chaotic Astral Wind.

With a wave of his hand, a strand of Black and White Yin Yang Sacred Fire flickered and danced in his palm.

.....

"Die!"

As the Pangu Banner of the Primordial Venerable descended, the primordial giant beast behind him extended its formidable claw.

Just as the mighty claw was about to graze Su Mu, divine fire danced in Su Mu’s eyes, and the Black and White Yin Yang Sacred Fire at his fingertips transformed into a "brush."

Black and white Dao patterns spread from the brush’s tip in his hand, turning the primordial giant beast into an ink painting’s illusion, a static figure within a two-dimensional drawing.

The ferocious primordial giant beast became an object of play under Su Mu’s "pen."

With the final stroke of the Dao pattern completed, the apocalyptic beast let out a mournful cry, collapsing into a blank sheet of paper.

With a mere thought from Su Mu, the white paper depicting the primordial beast ignited, instantly turning to ashes!

The powerful backlash caused the Primordial Venerable’s lips to bleed, and the Pangu Banner in his hand bled profusely!

Seeing the Primordial Venerable’s strike easily neutralized.

The Tai Chi Yin Yang Grinding Disc of Taiqing descended swiftly upon Su Mu, allowing no respite.

Seeing this, Su Mu’s aura spread, and behind him loomed the image of a Black and White Divine Tree.

In the next second, the Black and White Divine Tree’s image rapidly expanded, growing into a towering tree, colliding with the descending Tai Chi Yin Yang Grinding Disc.

The entire star sea trembled instantaneously.

Crack—

A sound of shattering resonated.

In the instant of impact, the Tai Chi Yin Yang Grinding Disc shattered into myriad Dao rhyme particles, wholly absorbed by the Black and White Divine Tree behind Su Mu.

Taiqing’s face turned pale, with all his blood energy reversing, clearly having sustained significant internal damage.

He gazed at the Black and White Divine Tree behind Su Mu, his eyes filled with utter disbelief: "Is it?!"

......

Following the consecutive defeats of Taiqing and Yuan Shi.

After steadying himself once more, Sect Leader Tongtian launched a second assault.

The Immortal Slaying Sword Array behind him erupted with unfathomable blood light, the four swords evolving into the ultimate Sword Intents of birth, extinction, cycle, and return, Sword Qi interweaving to cover the whole star sea, intent on annihilating Su Mu.

In the next second, Su Mu, looking at Sect Leader Tongtian charging with reckless abandon, let out a faint sigh.

As the Sword Array crumbled, Su Mu waved his hand, his Power of Divine Sense splitting into nine thousand six hundred strands of Innate Spiritual Light, colliding at the moment with the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.

The Sword Array disintegrated, turning entirely into ashes, vanishing into thin air.

Sect Leader Tongtian spat blood, his whole being unsteady, nearly plummeting from the void into the star sea.

In just a few exchanges, the Three Pristine Ones were successively defeated, throughout the ordeal Su Mu remained in place, not moving a single step, not even taking the initiative to attack, merely passively dissolving the assaults, tipping the scale lopsidedly.

...

Meanwhile, as Su Mu was entangled with the Three Pristine Ones, a figure walked upon the Long River, swiftly approaching a certain direction...

At home, Nannan carried out a carefully made plate of sweet treats from the kitchen, placing it on the table.

Looking at the entire feast of eighteen dishes on the table, Nannan nodded in satisfaction.

Yesterday, father celebrated her birthday, taking her out for a whole day of fun, so today Nannan prepared a sumptuous dinner for her father.

After the meal was ready, Nannan dusted her hands off the flour and removed her apron.

Standing before the front door, she gazed at the Long River, waiting for her father’s return.

It’s almost dark, father should be returning soon....
