Immortal, is related to a blood-stained future!
This was the sole piece of important information that the Taboo Immortal Lightning, which had clashed with him, had sent into Ye Chen's sea of consciousness.
It was important information from the future Supreme One.
Ye Chen deeply remembered it, engraved it in his heart, even though he himself did not understand whether the meaning was that the Immortal caused the blood-stained future, or if there was another implication.
Moreover, the "Immortal" referred to in this glimmer of insight—did it point to an Immortal who could stand shoulder to shoulder with an Emperor, or the most mysterious Primordial Immortal Realm, or perhaps some existence with a significant connection to Immortals.
This was truly difficult to predict, because the obstruction of causality allowed for too little information to be obtained, only that single character.
However, Ye Chen always believed that one day, he would come to understand everything.
The River of Time gradually calmed down, everything dissipated, and all things drew their curtains.
Everything seemed to have ended.
The Samsara Black Hole dissipated, and Ye Chen as well as Yi Wu appeared on the River of Time. At the same time, Ye Chen's Heavenly King Tribulation had also dissipated, and within it had even appeared a special Samsara Tribulation.
It was precisely the Samsara Black Hole, which not only did not harm Ye Chen, but on the contrary was utilized by him, using Samsara to summon his future self, the supreme Supreme One.
With the tribulation complete, Ye Chen had thoroughly stepped into the Heavenly King Realm, truly becoming a supreme Heavenly King expert.
His aura was truly powerful, far surpassing ordinary Heavenly Kings, even the alien race Heaven's Pride he had slain could not compare.
Yet, Ye Chen frowned. Although strong, it fell short of his expectations.
But he understood—it was not that he was not strong enough, but that he was injured, not at his peak condition.
Because summoning his future self, the meeting of two lifetimes, and being too close, ultimately incurred a certain backlash from the heavens and earth.
Although the vast majority was borne by the future Supreme One who received it, a trace of backlash still affected him, causing him to suffer severe wounds.
Now, he was in an injured state, his essence, energy, and spirit greatly depleted, urgently needing recovery, still far from his peak condition.
At this moment, Ye Chen sat alone on the River of Time to heal his wounds. Within it were mysterious stars that had fallen during the Emperor battle, containing fragments of time laws and extraordinary energy.
He condensed a black hole with his Ten Heavens light rings, devouring the power of these stars, absorbing it into his body, to a great extent replenishing his immense depletion.
Moreover, on the River of Time, he also found parts of the flesh and blood of slain alien race experts, even a piece of true Sovereign flesh, about the size of a fist, which Ye Chen collected.
It seemed not much, but one must know this was Sovereign flesh, not ordinary flesh and blood. Every inch of such an existence's body contained divine energy as vast as an ocean, incredibly potent. A fist-sized amount of divine energy was enough to cause even a Heavenly King to explode.
This was a remnant piece of flesh left behind after the three Sovereigns used their Emperor's origin to dissipate into the Dao, containing intense alien race energy.
However, Ye Chen controlled chaos and had also cultivated alien race laws, allowing him to assimilate it. Using his Primordial Battle Body-like recovery, he refined the killing intent within the alien race Sovereign flesh, proceeding to refine it.
Immediately, surging great Dao divine energy was generated, replenishing himself. Ye Chen's aura gradually grew powerful again.
What made Ye Chen regretful was the lack of alien race Emperor blood. Otherwise, a single drop of Emperor blood would be like an ocean; that level of divine energy was simply unimaginable.
However, Emperor blood could not endure long, containing peerless killing intent. A single drop could likely annihilate an ancient Great Power. The future Supreme One, unwilling for Emperor blood to affect the River of Time, had completely refined it.
Beside him, Yi Wu had lost this portion of her memories, looking somewhat bewildered at everything, even unclear why she had come here.
Moreover, invisible rules swept through the world, affecting even ancient Great Sages, erasing memories related to the future Yi Wu, though memories of the Emperor battle remained unaffected.
Only the three Sovereigns were powerful enough that the world's rules did not completely erase them. They looked at Yi Wu with suspicion, their eyes flickering.
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord was clearly special as well, his gaze profound, saying nothing.
The most intense Emperor battle of ancient and modern times had concluded, leaving many unforgettable and incomparably shocked.
This could likely be called the first Supreme Emperor battle since the Mythical Epoch, truly beyond imagination, capable of affecting time. Sovereigns were not enough to watch, and Great Power battles were like children playing house, far from comparable.
It also made everyone more determined in their hearts to prove the Dao and become an Emperor.
Only by reaching that level of existence could one truly look down upon ancient and modern times, overlooking the ages.
The three Sovereigns were the first to step onto the River of Time, observing, also to prevent any other unforeseen events.
But everything had concluded. The past was severed, the future likewise, unseen. Only the River of Time endured eternally, flowing unchanged through the ages, everlasting.
Finally, under the leadership of the three Sovereigns, the Great Powers of all realms stepped onto the River of Time, their target the Tongxuan Realm at the very top.
That Tongxuan Realm floated above the River of Time, hailed as connecting to heaven, connecting to spirits, connecting to the profound, connecting to ancient and modern times. All this was proven true, not false, by the alien race Emperor's entry.
The alien race Emperor's entry proved that the Tongxuan Realm could connect to ancient and modern times. But whether it held eternal and immortal opportunities, whether it possessed heaven-defying opportunities to revive the dead, or whether there was a passage to the mysterious other world—all remained unknown, requiring their exploration.
An eternity of waiting, even burying the entire Age of Gods, seeking the immense fortune to reach heaven, all for the purpose of heading to the Tongxuan Realm.
Now, the goal lay ahead, everything foreseeable.
This excited everyone. Even the five Divine Kings of the Divine World stepped onto the River of Time, wanting to witness the mysteries of the Tongxuan Realm.
"Wait a moment, you all. The three of us will go investigate first," the Primordial Sovereign spoke. This was not to seize the opportunities first, because the three of them could easily annihilate the Great Powers of all realms.
As the Primordial Sovereign said, it was to investigate further, unsure if there were dangers within.
The Ruins Sovereign and the Jialuo Female Sovereign did not stop them, because the opening of the Profound Ancient Gate indeed owed credit to these Great Powers of all realms. Otherwise, it would not have been opened so easily. By reason and propriety, these Great Powers should be allowed to enter the Tongxuan Realm.
Of course, in the end, how much opportunity each obtained depended on their own means.
The three Sovereigns, skilled and bold, were the first to ascend to the Tongxuan Realm, disappearing into it as if completely vanished, different from when the alien race Emperor was present.
However, the Great Powers of all realms followed. They believed the three Sovereigns would not come to harm. Even the three Great Powers from the Undying Great Power, the Sun God Dynasty, and the Dark Night Ancient Hall appeared. They had also taken miraculous elixirs, recovering most of their injuries.
Only, they kept a sufficient distance from the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, harboring great wariness, even a trace of... terror!
Yes, terror. Through the previous events, they fully understood the true strength of the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord. The three of them joining forces were no match, even having their blood stain the Profound Ancient Gate.
Just as they passed by Ye Chen's side, they suddenly struck, taking advantage of Ye Chen still being deep in recovery. Three great hands descended together, accompanied by destructive Great Power laws.
