100: Chapter 100 The Source of the River of Time

As soon as these words were spoken.

The sound of sharp intakes of breath immediately echoed through the quiet hall.

Even Kong Xuan found it somewhat hard to believe.

To kill a Supreme!

This meant he would have to at least reach that Realm; otherwise, how could he hope to kill one?

But from the Taichu Era until now.

There have perhaps been no more than twenty existences in the Supreme Realm, and that is counting both eras combined.

Xing Mu was also momentarily stunned upon hearing Ye Xiu's words.

Kill a Supreme?

She frowned slightly, a hint of playfulness appearing in her eyes as she looked at Ye Xiu: "Do you have the confidence to kill a Supreme?"

"Give me time, and what difficulty is there in killing a Supreme?"

Ye Xiu's tone remained calm. With absolute strength, he didn't feel much awe toward the Xing Mu before him.

Even though she was a legendary existence.

"You might have some misunderstanding regarding the Supreme Realm."

"Whatever. I'm leaving."

Ye Xiu did not continue the conversation on this topic.

For his future cultivation, he would likely need to find treasures similar to purple qi to make further progress.

However, for now.

This strength was entirely sufficient.

Although he had never seen an Immortal, there was a Heavenly Venerable present in the hall.

Kong Xuan.

This fellow was also a powerhouse who had recovered from ancient times.

Succeeding in opening a path within Chaos qualifies one for the Heavenly Venerable range. Completely mastering the Dao of Heaven and Earth is the Dao Lord Realm.

Both belong to the Limit Supreme Realm.

Both are capable of fully exerting the entire power of a specific Great Dao.

In terms of combat power.

A Heavenly Venerable might be even stronger than some T1-level Dao Lords.

But compared to a T0-level Dao Lord, their combat power is difficult to compare.

However, a Dao Lord is the limit for ordinary Cultivators; the Dao of Heaven and Earth cannot be used to attain Immortality.

Thus, anyone with peerless talent would basically choose to abandon the Dao of Heaven and Earth, opting instead to open their own Rule Dao within Chaos.

To take that further step.

Therefore, his current state should be somewhere between a Heavenly Venerable and an Immortal.

After all, he was one who used his own body as the Dao.

Withdrawing his thoughts.

Ye Xiu glanced at Xing Mu in the hall and was about to step away.

Then he heard Xing Mu speak again.

"In another three hundred years, this world will fully recover. At that time, besides Immortals, there will be existences in the Supreme Realm. Are you sure you want to kill one for this palace?"

"Three hundred years? Then three hundred years it is."

"Hehe... Confidence is a good thing, but this palace fears you might mess things up. I'll give you some news: the Heavenly Emperor Sutra comes from the source of the River of Time."

"The source of the River of Time?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Ye Xiu's eyes.

The lineage of Ancient Heavenly Arts did not belong to this world.

Could that terrifying River of Time, besides connecting eras, also cross this world to reach another?

His expression carried a trace of suspicion.

Seeing this, Xing Mu gave a light laugh.

She continued: "Back then, Sword Lord Li Si and I went together to the source of the River of Time. That is the ancestral home of the Immortal Race, and perhaps the Origin of the war."

Ye Xiu was stunned.

Immortal!

Yes, an Immortal.

Now, he was already qualified to discuss such existences with Xing Mu.

After a long while.

He finally asked, "What exactly is an 'Immortal'? A Realm? Or a race?"

A dozen seconds after his voice fell.

Xing Mu slowly spoke: "Back then, when I reached the limit of the Supreme Realm and found no way to break through, I broke the Human Emperor's blockade and stepped into the River of Time."

"Originally, I only wanted to trace back to the world's Origin and see the scenes of the world's creation."

"But as I crossed the Taichu Era and killed a group of obstructors, I discovered a Domain that was different from the Myriad Realms of the Heavens."

"That Domain was rooted at the source of the River of Time. Although the creatures inside weren't very strong, their lifespans were extremely long. They only needed to reach the Supreme Realm to live forever in the world."

"I was curious, so I forcibly seized that world and merged it into the Myriad Realms of the Heavens."

"Later, the creatures of that Domain were called the Immortal Race, and their essence blood could prolong life."

"The matter should have ended there."

"But only five hundred years passed before the River of Time shook. At the source of the River of Time, where that Domain originally was, a sea area composed of broken Domains actually appeared."

"Li Si and I once went to investigate. After exploring the Boundary Sea for several years, we finally encountered a creature."

"It called itself an Immortal and came from the other side of the Boundary Sea."

Hearing this, a look of solemnity flashed through Ye Xiu's eyes.

The Boundary Sea!

Immortal...

So that was their Origin.

Xing Mu sighed: "Inmortals are very strong, equal to the Supreme. Back then, we didn't break out into conflict because they were also looking for a chance to break through."

"A Realm above the Supreme?"

"Yes. In our world, such an existence has never appeared, but in the words of the Immortals, there were legends of Emperors."

"Immortal Emperor?"

"No, the Taboo Emperor."

Ye Xiu's eyes held an unconcealable shock.

He pondered for a moment before asking, "Do the Ancient Heavenly Arts come from the world where the Immortals reside?"

"Yes. The other side of the Boundary Sea is the home of the Immortals, where a vast and boundless world also exists."

"Then they cross the Boundary Sea simply because they want to find an opportunity for a Breakthrough?"

"Most likely. In their legends, to break through the Domain of an Immortal, one must reach the shore on the other side of the Boundary Sea."

"The other side of the Boundary Sea..."

"The Immortals are very strong. The destruction of my Imperial Court should be related to them. Perhaps because they couldn't find the other side of the Boundary Sea, they treated this place as the shore."

When Xing Mu mentioned the destruction of the Imperial Court, there was an intense killing intent in her eyes.

"So, techniques like the Ancient Heavenly Arts were all obtained from the Immortals?"

Although Ye Xiu was curious about why Xing Mu had suddenly perished in ancient times, compared to those matters, he was more curious about the Heavenly Emperor Sutra.

Such a scripture.

Its creator likely reached the strength of a Taboo Emperor.

"There will always be people who don't follow the rules in any world, and the world of the Immortals is no exception."

"Have you seen the Immortal who cultivated the Heavenly Emperor Sutra?"

"No. The Heavenly Emperor Sutra was brought back by the Human Emperor. For this scripture, he suffered very heavy injuries back then and almost died. I nearly became the second Human Emperor myself."

Xing Mu suddenly gave a charming smile.

As if she had thought of something interesting.

"Was it that strong?"

"As the strongest among the four of us, the Human Emperor never mentioned the Origin of this scripture after he was heavily injured. The significance of this should be understood without asking."

Hearing this, Ye Xiu sighed in his heart.

After a silence of a dozen seconds.

He shook his head slightly and took a step forward, instantly disappearing from this world.

Whether it was the Immortals or the so-called Taboo Emperor, for him, now was not the time to delve deep into such knowledge.

Improving his strength was the only priority.

Perhaps at the source of the River of Time, a great war was still raging.

The Human Emperor was not dead.

He was still within the River of Time.

The River of Time that opened a hundred years ago was the best proof.

He had to enter the Domain of the Immortals in the shortest possible time.
