531: Chapter 531 Returning to the Past

"Pure Land of All Gods."

Lu Yuan whispered softly.

"Hum—"

A layer of holy, solemn Domain, radiating a faint golden glow, instantly expanded with him at its center.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang—!"

Those nine miniature suns, carrying world-destroying pressure, slammed fiercely against the light barrier of the Pure Land of All Gods.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the entire Bronze Hall shook violently.

But before that seemingly fragile golden radiance, the nine suns, capable of incinerating a Star Domain, were like mud oxen entering the sea; not only did they fail to break the defense, but under the transformation of the Pure Land, they were rapidly absorbed and assimilated.

"What?" Immortal Monarch Xuanyang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Swoosh—"

Just then, that undefendable, formless Sword Intent from Immortal Lord Taixu, weirdly pierced through the barrier of space and appeared an inch in front of Lu Yuan's brow.

"Die!" A flash of cruelty crossed Immortal Lord Taixu's eyes.

"Too slow."

Lu Yuan sneered; he did not dodge, but slowly raised his right hand.

In the instant before the sword light was about to pierce his brow, his two fingers, like iron pincers, firmly clamped onto the formless blade!

"Hum, hum, hum—"

The Formless Sword of Taixu trembled violently, erupting with the Law of Cutting, attempting to sever Lu Yuan's fingers.

But before the tyrannical Physical Body of Lu Yuan's Innate Chaos Immortal Body, it couldn't even leave a white mark.

"This sword of yours is too light."

Lu Yuan exerted force with his fingers.

"Crack!"

The Immortal Sword, condensed from pure Law, was actually cracked by him with just two fingers!

Immortal Lord Taixu felt as if struck by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face full of disbelief.

As for the colorful light ribbon winding in from Immortal Monarch Wanmiao.

"Get lost!"

Inside Lu Yuan's body, eight hundred million ancient Yuanxiang Particles simultaneously erupted with a heaven-shaking roar.

"Heavenly God Fist!"

He perfectly fused the Law of Reincarnation with the Chaos Law and threw a punch.

The fist imprint was like a purple-gold sun of judgment, carrying the supreme power to suppress all demons of the heavens, sweeping outwards.

"Bang—!"

The sky-filling Wanmiao Dao light, under this punch, was like a fragile spider web, instantly torn to shreds.

The fist's momentum did not diminish.

"Pfft!"

Immortal Monarch Xuanyang bore the brunt of it; without even a chance to react, half his body was directly blasted into blood mist by this domineering, unparalleled punch!

"Ah."

Immortal Monarch Xuanyang let out a shrill scream, desperately urging his Pure Yang Fire to reorganize his Physical Body, but the Law of Reincarnation attached to the wound was frantically stripping away his vitality, slowing his recovery speed.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword!"

Lu Yuan pointed backhand, manifesting six black holes in the Void Realm, carrying the Sword Intent of Reincarnation that stripped away everything, directly enveloping Immortal Lord Taixu, who was preparing to retreat.

"No!"

Immortal Lord Taixu waved his sword in terror to resist, but was forced back step by step by that power of Reincarnation, pushed back several tens of thousands of li, slamming heavily against the bronze wall of the hall, spitting blood, looking utterly disheveled.

Immortal Monarch Wanmiao was even worse off, swept by the fist wind; the whisk in his hand exploded into powder, his hair disheveled, no longer retaining even a shred of his immortal, graceful bearing.

Less than a hundred moves into the fight, the three veteran Immortal Lords—one heavily injured, two lightly injured—were completely defeated!

The Bronze Hall fell into a deathly silence.

The three looked at the young man, still dressed in snow-white robes, standing with his hands behind his back. Their hearts were churning with turbulent waves, and an emotion called "fear" was growing wildly.

"This... how is this possible?"

Immortal Monarch Xuanyang, while reshaping his Physical Body, roared in terror: "Why is his Physical Body so terrifying? My Nine Yang True Fire can't even burn him!"

"It's not just his Physical Body."

Immortal Lord Taixu's hand holding the sword was trembling slightly: "His understanding of Laws... is even above ours! This is Chaos! This is Reincarnation! What kind of monster is he?"

Immortal Monarch Wanmiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a flash of crazy determination in his eyes.

They finally realized that in the dimension of the "Present World", trying to compete with Lu Yuan directly in Laws and Physical Body was simply courting death!

This kid's Foundation was so deep it was despair-inducing.

"Two fellow Daoists, we cannot fight him head-on anymore!"

Immortal Monarch Wanmiao shouted sternly: "This child is almost invincible in the Present World! There is only one way to kill him!"

"Use the Immortal Lord Origin to reverse time! Go to his past before he had grown up, sever his Karma, and erase his Foundation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, both Immortal Monarch Xuanyang and Immortal Lord Taixu were shaken.

Killing by reversing time?

This was the most dangerous and cruelest form of gambling between Immortal Lords.

Once lost in the River of Time, or suffering from a spacetime backlash, it meant true eternal damnation, with not even a chance for Reincarnation and recultivation.

Moreover, performing such a forbidden technique required the cost of tens of thousands of years of Lifespan!

"Let's do it!"

Immortal Monarch Xuanyang looked at his half-body that still refused to recover, his eyes full of resentment: "As long as we can kill him and take back the Immortal King Legacy, what is losing a few tens of thousands of years of Lifespan?"

"Fine!" Immortal Lord Taixu also gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Form the array! Burn the Origin!"

The three did not hesitate, simultaneously biting their tongue tips and spitting out a large mouthful of Immortal Lord essence blood containing Immortal Golden Nature.

"Boom—!"

The three's essence blood converged in mid-air, and along with their crazily burning Lifespan, transformed into a terrifying power that twisted spacetime.

"Time flows backward, the River appears!"

Accompanied by their roars, above the space that originally didn't exist in the Bronze Hall, a huge spacetime rift was forcibly torn open.

A magnificent, surging phantom of a great river descended from the rift.

In that river water, there were no water droplets, only countless flickering images, reflecting countless historical fragments of the Daluo Heaven and even the Three Thousand Dao Domains.

The River of Time!

Lu Yuan stood below, quietly watching the three's crazy actions.

He actually had the full capability to interrupt them before they tore open spacetime.

But he did not do so, and didn't even have the intention to stop them.

Because he had just obtained the Wuzhong Ancient Scripture and the "three-life bronze coffin", his understanding of the River of Time was now much deeper than these three old guys.

"Want to go to the past to kill me?"

Lu Yuan looked at the three Immortal Lords preparing to escape into the River of Time, a playful smile curling on his lips: "Just right, I don't know yet if the defensive lines I left in the past are tough enough.

Since you want to scout the path, then go ahead; don't blame me for not warning you, that path... is not easy to walk."

He stood with his hands behind his back, just watching as the three's Divine Thoughts turned into three streams of light and plunged headfirst into the surging River of Time.

...

The River of Time, flowing upstream.

"Splash—"

All around were endless spacetime storms and turbulent Laws.

The Divine Thoughts of Xuanyang, Taixu, and Wanmiao were moving upstream in the river.

"Such great resistance!"

Immortal Monarch Xuanyang's Divine Thought emitted a painful fluctuation: "How short is the time since this kid rose to prominence? We have only gone upstream for less than a thousand years, why does it feel more strenuous than going upstream for a hundred thousand years?"
