Chapter 330 Ye Fan, a ruthless man, comes against the tide of time!
Poseidon paced back and forth around the round table, his face contorted with excessive excitement.
He recalled his chosen successor, Tang San, who was forced to degenerate into a monster in a foreign land.
He attributed all of this to the emergence of the Primordial Immortal Court, and to that kid named Xiao Yan stealing the limelight that should have belonged to Douluo Continent.
"Those three supreme beings who emerged from the River of Time are clearly targeting Xiao Yan and that brat named Shi Hao!" The Sea God slammed his hand on the table, making the wine glasses on it clang loudly.
"They're trying to set things right! They want to completely eliminate these two anomalies that shouldn't exist!"
The evil god sitting opposite him picked up a cup of scarlet divine brew, held it to his nose, and gently smelled it.
He looked at Xiao Yan, who was locked onto the flying boat in the light screen, and a hint of undisguised schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.
"The tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind."
"This principle applies to any world." The God of Evil leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and spoke with a sour, sarcastic tone.
"That Xiao Yan was just a Great Dou Master in the lower realm."
"Once you go to that world, you can ignite a divine fire just by taking a bath, and you can easily send the successor of a great sect flying by throwing a ruler."
"Who does he think he is? The chosen one?
The evil god sneered, tilted his head back, and drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp.
"The power gained from forcing growth is ultimately illusory."
"Now look what's happened, we've provoked the true giants of the future."
"I want to see how he'll turn the tables this time with that damn ruler."
"Faced with power surpassing that of a Celestial King, he is not even worth a bug."
The atmosphere in the main hall became more relaxed.
The water god and the wind god exchanged a glance and then revealed relieved smiles.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, those three future powerhouses took action to maintain the peace of all the heavens and myriad realms." The Water God smoothed his long blue hair, his tone carrying a self-righteous sense of compassion.
"If those two children are allowed to grow up, who knows how much bloodshed they will cause in the future."
"Now that we've suppressed them, we've eliminated a major hidden danger for all realms."
The goddess of life sits on her green throne.
She frowned slightly, looking at the little Shi Hao in the light screen who was protecting Zi Yan behind him.
That's clearly still a child who hasn't grown up.
"But…they are still just children." The goddess of life sighed.
"Isn't it a bit too cruel to just go for the kill?"
"Cruel? Life, you're too soft-hearted." The sea god turned his head and looked at her coldly.
"What do you know about the big picture? Xiao Yan and Shi Hao are just pawns used by the Primordial Immortal Court to break the balance of power among the myriad realms."
"If they don't die, when will there ever be peace in this universe?"
After saying this, Poseidon walked back to his seat, sat down, crossed his hands on the table, and looked gloomy.
"I would even love if those three supreme experts could crush those two little beasts in the process and then travel down the river of time to the main camp of the Primordial Immortal Court!"
"Isn't that guy Li Changsheng very arrogant? He creates a million clones all the time."
"What are his clones compared to a power surpassing that of a Celestial King?"
"They're just a million lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
The evil god clapped his hands and laughed.
"The Sea God is right. It would be best to uproot that so-called Immortal Lord as well."
"This lineage that attempts to supersede all gods should not exist at all!"
Inside the main hall, the main gods chatted amongst themselves, echoing each other's sentiments.
They regarded those three mysterious, murderous futuristic monsters as saviors who maintained order;
They denigrated the Primordial Celestial Court, a behemoth that they felt threatened, as a malignant tumor that was disrupting the universe.
Only in this way can they regain even a tiny bit of fragile psychological balance.
"Come!"
Poseidon raised a full cup of divine brew high.
"Let's celebrate in advance that Douluo Continent has one less potential threat!"
"And may the Primordial Celestial Court be reduced to ashes soon!"
The evil god, the water god, the wind god, and others all raised their glasses.
The crisp sound of glasses clinking echoed in the main hall of the Divine Realm Committee.
They savored the sweet divine brew, leaning comfortably back in their chairs, their eyes fixed intently on the light screen.
They couldn't wait to see the bloody scene of the young man carrying the black ruler and the bratty kid who loved barbecue being crushed into a pile of mud by those three supreme figures in the next second.
...
Perfect World.
The dilapidated ancient boundary at the edge of the border sea.
Time is as sticky as swamp.
Li Changsheng exerted all his strength and finally pressed a rune onto the array hub of the flying boat with his fingertip.
That was his emergency communication talisman to contact the Immortal Lord.
However, the runes had just begun to glow faintly.
Above the river of time, the blurry figure standing in the very center slowly raised a hand.
It was a pale, bloodless hand.
He gently pressed his palm down towards the direction of the Azure Wood Flying Boat.
There was no wind, nor any energy fluctuation.
But Xiao Yan clearly felt that the space around him was collapsing in an incomprehensible way.
His once-proud, perfect physique began to crack under the strain of this invisible force.
The gap was so large that even the thought of resistance couldn't be conceived.
Just as that palm was about to fall completely, crushing the airship and everyone on it.
A soft sigh suddenly came from the void.
"well."
The sigh was soft, yet in an instant, it shattered the time-locking barrier set up by the three figures.
That soft sigh was like a spring breeze, dispelling the gloom that filled the sky.
The pale hand paused in mid-air.
A tender green willow branch emerges from nothingness.
The willow branch looked very delicate, with two newly sprouted buds on it, yet in an instant it crossed the distance of space and gently touched the back of that hand.
"Smack."
A crisp sound.
The hand that could crush the airship along with space itself suddenly retracted into the river of time as if electrocuted.
The surface of the long river rippled violently.
Immediately afterwards, a golden avenue paved with dazzling immortal light stretched out from the distant Primordial Immortal Court, directly spanning the sky above this dark red wasteland.
Jiang Chen walked in, bathed in golden light.
He was still wearing that loose white robe, his hands behind his back, walking as casually as if he were strolling in his own backyard.
Beside him was a woman of unparalleled beauty.
The woman was dressed in a green robe, surrounded by three thousand hazy orbs of light.
Within each ball of light, there seemed to be an ancient world being worshipped.
Willow Goddess.
Behind the two were three elderly men.
The man on the far left was wearing a worn-out Taoist robe, with white hair and a youthful face, exuding an ancient aura that seemed to live as long as heaven and earth.
This is the previous ruler of the Primordial Immortal Court, Jiang Chen's master, the Primordial Immortal Ancestor.
The middle-aged man was burly, with several faint purple-gold dragon scales visible on his neck, and his eyes were arrogant and unruly.
This was once a peerless immortal king who had earned a formidable reputation in this world, second only to the most powerful in the land.
The old man on the right was extremely thin, with skin that had a dark golden metallic sheen. Standing there, he resembled a peerless immortal sword that had been drawn from its sheath.
Immortal Golden Taoist.
Five supreme giants at the Immortal King level arrived together.
"Master!" Li Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put away the iron sword in his hand, and bowed respectfully.
Jiang Chen nodded slightly, his gaze passing over Li Changsheng and landing on the turbulent river of time ahead.
In the long river, three blurry figures stood side by side.
The mist of laws surrounding them gradually dissipated, revealing pairs of cold and ruthless eyes.
The three men didn't linger on Jiang Chen and Liu Shen for long before bypassing the crowd and locking onto Xiao Shihao and Xiao Yan, who were hiding on the flying boat.
"Two variables have appeared on one timeline."
The figure standing in the middle slowly spoke.
His voice sounded like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing against each other, sending chills down one's spine.
He raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Shihao.
"This sapling will grow into a towering tree in the future, blocking our way."
"We went to great lengths to go against the current, just to uproot this tree before it grew up."
Then, his finger slowly moved and pointed at Xiao Yan beside him.
A rare hint of doubt flashed in those cold eyes.
"However, this timeline has clearly been analyzed countless times by us, and originally there was only one variable."
"This ant carrying a ruler is tainted with a completely unfamiliar cause and effect."
"He didn't originally belong to this period, but he forced his way in and became the second variable."
The figure let out a cold laugh, and the surrounding waves of time surged violently with his emotions.
"That's enough."
"Since there's one extra, let's eliminate it as well."
"Any threat that could affect our grand plan must die."
Hearing this condescending verdict, Jiang Chen's expression remained unchanged.
He even took a closer look at the long river in front of him.
"You want to kill my disciple? Did you ask me?" Jiang Chen's voice was soft, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
The figure standing on the left let out a disdainful snort.
"The Immortal Lord of the Primordial Immortal Court, and the Sacrificial Spirit in the Great Wilderness."
The figure stepped forward, and a terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from his body.
This oppressive aura transcends the realm of Immortal Kings, carrying an aura of imperial dominance that suppresses all ages and asserts absolute supremacy.
The moment the oppressive force descended, the entire wasteland's ground shattered wildly like a spider web.
The ancient corpses and skeletons that were originally lying on the ground turned into dust under this aura.
"You two are indeed amazing." The figure looked down at Jiang Chen and Liu Shen.
"In the predictions of future generations, your talents will be enough to illuminate several eras."
"Unfortunately, you haven't taken that final step yet."
The figure on the right also sneered.
"Below the Emperor's realm, all are but ants."
"If you two have truly reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, the three of us will turn around and leave today, without getting involved in any karma whatsoever."
"Even if you are only one step apart, just a tiny difference, it will make all the difference!"
"Today, you can't protect these two variables."
"If you dare to obstruct us, the Primordial Immortal Court will be wiped out right now!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them stepped out of the river of time.
The three quasi-Immortal Emperor-level pressures converged, transforming into a destructive storm that swept across the entire ancient realm.
The spatial barrier of the ancient realm was torn apart as if it were made of paper.
This imperial aura surged wildly into the immortal realm outside the crack.
...
At the same time, in the vast and boundless immortal realm.
Countless ancient beings, slumbering deep within famous mountains and rivers, were awakened by this aura.
Deep within Panwang City, an ancient peach tree, its canopy shading the sky, shook violently, and Panwang emerged from its trunk.
He stared in the direction of the Boundary Sea, his face filled with terror.
"This aura... surpasses the King Realm? Could someone be about to become an Emperor?"
The Chaos Immortal King, the Creation Immortal King, and other powerful figures stepped into the starry sky, their gazes filled with horror as they looked at the dilapidated ancient realm.
"No! This aura carries a strong sense of the karmic consequences of time! This is a powerful being from the future crossing the river of time!"
"They went to the territory of the Primordial Celestial Court! What exactly happened there?"
All the Celestial Kings felt a pang of fear.
In battles of that level, they wouldn't even be qualified to get close; a mere aftershock could kill them.
...
Within the ancient realm.
Faced with the combined pressure from three quasi-immortal emperors, Jiang Chen and Liu Shen did not back down at all.
Liu Shen stepped forward, and the three thousand orbs of light behind her shone brightly.
Thousands of willow branches, like chains of divine order, intertwined in mid-air to form a massive green net of light, forcefully withstanding the destructive storm.
Jiang Chen then pulled with both hands, and a celestial sword exuding the aura of primordial origin condensed in his palms.
He swung his sword, and the sword energy transformed into a rushing river, colliding with the three figures.
"boom!"
The entire ancient realm collapsed by more than half under this attack.
Upon seeing this, the Primordial Immortal Ancestor, the Second in the World, and the Immortal Golden Daoist immediately stood in a triangular formation.
They activated their Immortal King Dao Fruits to the fullest extent, forming a solid protective shield that firmly protected Li Changsheng, Xiao Yan, and Shi Hao on the flying boat.
"Hold on! The Immortal Lord and Willow God are bearing all the pressure!" The Primordial Immortal Ancestor gritted his teeth, his beard flying wildly in the strong wind.
In mid-air, Jiang Chen's white robe was cut in several places.
Cracks began to appear in the green light net that Liu Shen had created.
The gap in levels of understanding is ultimately an insurmountable chasm.
Although the two of them stood at the very peak of the Immortal King realm, and even had one foot already in that realm, they still seemed somewhat strained when facing three genuine Quasi-Immortal Emperors.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
The Quasi-Immortal Emperor in the middle looked at Jiang Chen indifferently.
He raised his hand, and a black sun condensed in his palm.
The sun emanated a deathly law that devoured everything, slowly pressing down on Jiang Chen's head.
"No matter how talented you are, you will perish here today."
"The course of history must never be changed."
The black sun drew ever closer.
Jiang Chen felt that the space around him was completely sealed off, and even the immortal power in his body began to circulate slowly.
Xiao Yan stood on the flying boat, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
He clenched his fists, deeply feeling the powerlessness in the face of absolute power.
He wanted to help, but he wasn't even qualified to get close to a fight of that level.
At this critical moment.
Downstream of the River of Time, in the direction from which these three Quasi-Immortal Emperors came.
The river water churned violently once again.
This commotion was much greater than when the three of them appeared earlier.
Those waves, representing the future of history, were directly lifted into the air by an extremely domineering force.
"when!"
A melodious and resonant bell tolled, echoing through the river of time from the distant future.
The sound of this bell carries an invincible aura that suppresses all ages and turns its back on all living beings!
The three Quasi-Immortal Emperors' expressions changed drastically, and they turned around abruptly.
Amidst the churning waves of time, a broken clock is the first to emerge.
Immediately afterwards, a massive divine cauldron forged from the primordial energy of all things, and a ghostly mask radiating boundless devouring power, burst forth one after the other from the mist downstream of the long river.
Three figures of unparalleled elegance, so striking that one couldn't help but want to bow down in reverence, are stepping into the present time and space, riding the waves of the future.
