364: Zhu Jiuyin appears!

"Little Friend, shall we chat?"

Boom!

The Heavenly Abyss vortex shook violently, with countless dead spirits roaring frantically within. The power of thousands of worlds from the Eastern Profound Star Domain descended from the vortex in an overwhelming torrent. That was the sole order of the Universe, the power of the Law of the Eastern Profound Heavenly Dao. It was deterring the Immortal King An Huang, who sought to step into the Heavenly Abyss!

However!

At that very moment, a calm voice resonated between the heavens and earth of the Heavenly Abyss. It seemed to possess infinite power, causing even the Heavenly Abyss to fall silent.

Meanwhile, the time and space of this world froze, and all things fell silent. Below, whether it was the victorious Human Race army or the frantically retreating Heavenly Demon Realm army, all were frozen in place. The churning sea of Chaos clouds, the shattered stardust of the galaxy, and the intertwined blood-red light of slaughter between the Human Race and the Yao Race were all fixed in that moment, maintaining their final postures of attack.

Of the entire Human Race, only five people retained the ability to think.

Besides Shen Nian, who was completely unaffected, there were Old Man Tianji and Shen Min, who still had the ability to think, as well as Ning Fuyao of White Jade Capital and the old monk from the Buddhist sect.

Shen Min, who had already refined Mo Luo to death in the starry sky, displayed an unprecedented look of gravity—a look he had not even shown when facing an Immortal King. The divine talisman in his heart pulsed, and it seemed he had used all his strength to shout the three words: "Wang Xuanzhi!"

In the distance, Old Man Tianji revealed a look of determination. The time-space wheel on his back slowly began to rotate, and with it, the entire Human Emperor Hall of the Central Divine Continent began to turn. If viewed from the sky, the entire Human Emperor Hall looked like an enlarged version of a time-space wheel, covered with various star charts...

Suddenly, a phantom slowly walked out from the endless deep space. It did not tear through the Void Realm, nor did it condense; it seemed to walk out from the past.

The figure was extremely faint, as if pieced together from fragments of light in the river of time.

He wore no imperial crown or imperial robe, only a tattered white robe that hung down into the Void Realm. His hair and beard were white but groomed extremely neatly, loosely tied behind his neck with a faded blue silk ribbon. His brows and eyes were long and thin, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes resembled the creases of an ancient scroll. His eyes were not black or white, but a strange gray. He exuded no aura fluctuations at all, looking just like an extremely ordinary old gentleman.

"Retreat..."

A faint voice sounded. The Immortal King An Huang, who was the most arrogant in the Heavenly Demon Palace, actually bowed slightly at this moment. Without asking a single question and without the slightest hesitation, his Immortal Realm dharma body dissipated in the blink of an eye, and he turned and left.

The two phantoms of the Immortal Kings also gradually disappeared...

With just one word, three Immortal Kings retreated. His identity, naturally, went without saying.

Shen Nian had Chaos Qi coiling around him like a Dragon, his hundred-million-zhang dharma body standing in the Void Realm. His eyes shot out immortal light, and his brows were slightly furrowed as he stared at the old man who had suddenly appeared. He was not affected at all; the Innate Chaos Body was impervious to all Daos, and the power of any Dao was ineffective against him.

"Little Friend seems to have guessed that I would appear?"

"I am becoming increasingly interested in you, Little Friend..."

Candle Nine Nethers chuckled, his voice hoarse like wind blowing through old silk, showing a hint of slight surprise.

Shen Nian's calmness seemed to far exceed his expectations, as if the other party had calculated that he could do nothing to him now.

Was it Luo Li who told him?

That should be impossible. He had long ago cut off the connection between the Chaos Universe and the Fourth Star. With Luo Li outside, it was impossible for her to inform Shen Nian of his current situation.

Besides, I am afraid even Luo Li could not calculate to what extent he had recovered at this moment.

The most important point was that he had just deduced that Shen Nian might be the Reincarnation of some former opponent, but there was not a trace of Reincarnation aura on the other party, which was enough to prove that he was not...

That is why he called him Little Friend, rather than Fellow Daoist...

Shen Nian did not answer but asked directly: "Is the person who trapped you named Luo Li?"

Since this Candle Nine Nethers himself had come, he might as well ask him directly. As for the truth, he had Mo Luo's Divine Soul to verify it.

In fact, from the beginning, Shen Nian had a premonition that Candle Nine Nethers would appear. After all, the entire Fourth Star was inside his belly. With such a huge commotion, if he still could not detect it, then this big boss would be too incompetent.

But Shen Nian was not afraid at this moment. According to the hints of his own fate, Candle Nine Nethers absolutely could not possess the power of the Ancient Realm at this moment; otherwise, why would he need to wait a thousand years?

It was even less possible for it to be the Heavenly Net; that could kill the Ancient, and it had not even appeared in the entire Universe yet.

Then, Candle Nine Nethers' current combat power was at most in the Immortal Realm. Even if it was at the Immortal Emperor level, Shen Nian had achieved Minor Achievement in the Innate Chaos Body, and the Immortal Realm could hardly kill him. The strength of the Innate Chaos Body was his confidence!

Boom!

The Heavenly Abyss emitted the most terrifying fluctuation in history. The firmament at the very top of the starry sky exploded directly, turning into a waterfall of the sea of Laws formed by red order. This was all the power after the shattering of thousands of worlds, vast and mighty, about to descend!

"Freeze."

Candle Nine Nethers raised his hand slightly, and the entire firmament was instantly imprisoned. A doomsday-like scene evolved in the firmament, but it was frozen. The scene was extremely spectacular!

Immediately, Candle Nine Nethers did not answer Shen Nian's question first, but looked at Shen Min, who was covered in blood and had already broken through the shackles of his Law, a hint of appreciation appearing in his eyes.

"Worthy of being his descendant, truly remarkable. Cultivating the body with Talismans, drawing oneself as a seal to suppress the heavens, suppress the earth, and suppress oneself—I acknowledge this courage."

"Even if placed in the former Immortal Talisman Sect, you would be a top-tier Prodigy. If this realm had not been cut off by me, your Immortal Ascension would at least be at the Heavenly Immortal level..."

"However, there is no need to use that talisman now. I did not appear today with the intention of fighting. Besides, although that talisman is extraordinary, it is not enough..."

Having finished speaking, his gaze turned again, looking toward Old Man Tianji.

"Did Tianji Zi not tell you that a replica of the time-space wheel cannot reverse anything above the Immortal level, let alone me, who is most adept at time and space?"

Candle Nine Nethers revealed a faint smile. There was no mockery or arrogance; he was just calmly stating a fact.

If the real Innate Supreme Treasure time-space wheel were here, he would probably turn around and leave without looking back!

It was not because of that Innate Supreme Treasure!

But because of its owner, the Ancestor of the Time-Space Immortal Hall, the Dao Venerable!

As his words were spoken, the look of determination in Shen Min's eyes did not change. It was a resolve that viewed death as a return home. Even though the other party had seen through all of his Talisman Dao, he did not feel the slightest surprise.

"Old Ghost Shen, we are going to fail this time..."

"Calculated wrong..."

"I didn't expect this old monster to have recovered to the strength of the Immortal Emperor level. Even if you and I both act, we cannot seal him..."

Old Man Tianji said via voice transmission, his face pale. He had already used some kind of trump card to break through the shackles; clearly, the pressure at this moment was immense.

Shen Min, however, spoke up: "The matter of Candle Nine Nethers is not just our business!"
