79: Chapter 79: The Ancient Double-Pupiled Woman and the Ruthless Great Emperor Both Come to Seize the Treasure?

This was an old antique who had survived from the Ancient Era, wandering the lower realm in a state of madness.

But no one dared to underestimate her strength, for when she went mad, she even dared to kill deities!

"It's you?"

Wang Teng recognized the newcomer, a playful arc curling at the corner of his mouth. "What? You want a piece of the pie too?"

The Ancient Double-Pupil Woman ignored Wang Teng's teasing.

Her grey, lifeless eyes stared fixedly at the Purple-Gold Fruit in Wang Teng's hand, a hint of desire and clarity actually surfacing in her gaze.

"Give it to me... I want it... to save someone..."

Her voice was raspy and intermittent, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time.

"To save someone?"

Wang Teng sneered, tucked the fruit into his robes, and held the tianhuang great halberd across his chest.

"Who you want to save is none of my damn business."

"Since this thing has fallen into my hands, it's mine."

"You want it? Trade your life for it!"

"Then... you... die..."

The clarity in the Heavy-Pupilled Woman's eyes instantly vanished, replaced by an even more violent madness.

Her hands formed seals, and the surrounding grey mist instantly boiled, transforming into countless hideous ghosts that lunged toward Wang Teng.

Simultaneously, two grey beams of light shot out from her heavy pupils.

"Heavy Pupil Origin: Heaven Opening!!"

These two light beams were too terrifying; everywhere they passed, the void was directly annihilated, as if erased by an eraser!

This was an attack involving the Law of Causality!

"Think I'm afraid of you?!"

Wang Teng roared, and the nine demonic tails behind him instantly spread out like a peacock's tail.

"Samsara: Chaos!!"

Nine-colored divine light erupted, clashing violently with the grey heavy pupil beams!

"Rumble!!"

Luofeng Slope completely collapsed.

Two forces capable of destroying the Eight Regions collided here, directly blasting open a bottomless black hole.

Those upper realm geniuses who hadn't had time to run far were incredibly unlucky.

Swept by the aftershocks, they didn't even let out a groan before being turned directly into fly ash.

Just as Wang Teng and the Heavy-Pupilled Woman were fighting tooth and nail, and even the true form of the Nine-Nether Ao was about to manifest.

"Splash..."

An extremely abrupt sound of water suddenly rang out across the chaotic battlefield. This water sound seemed distant, yet also as if it were right by one's ear.

Immediately after, whether it was Wang Teng, the maddened Heavy-Pupilled Woman, or even Shi Hao, who was scavenging nearby, all of their movements froze.

Because they saw a sight that made their very souls tremble.

The sky above their heads split open.

It wasn't a black void crack, but a... surging river, flowing out from that rift!

The river water was turbid; every spray of water represented the rise and fall of an era, and every droplet was the tears and blood of countless heroes.

The River of Time!

Above this long river, a blurry, indistinct figure was treading upon the waves.

She wore white clothes and a Bronze Mask on her face that looked both like it was crying and smiling.

Her figure was slender, her black hair like a waterfall; though her face could not be seen clearly.

But that aura of eternal talent and solitary dominance over the heavens made all things in heaven and earth pale in comparison.

With every step she took, the River of Time trembled; countless karmic ties tried to entangle her, only to be instantly severed by the Light of Flying Immortals swirling around her.

Empress Ruthless! (Or rather, the Empress from Ye Fan's era, crossing through time and space!)

"Who... who is this?!"

Shi Hao was stunned.

He could feel that the aura on this white-clothed woman was even more terrifying than the Willow Deity sister's in her prime!

That was truly... indescribable!

The Heavy-Pupilled Woman also stopped her attack.

Her grey eyes looked at the white-clothed woman, and her body was actually trembling instinctively, as if she had encountered the greatest natural enemy of her life.

The white-clothed woman did not look at the Heavy-Pupilled Woman, nor did she look at that first spiritual root.

Her gaze pierced through the endless mists of time and fixed upon... Wang Teng.

Specifically, it was fixed on the World-Destroying Mark on Wang Teng's forehead and the wisp of her Flying Immortal Obsession within his body.

"You..."

A cold, slightly puzzled, yet incredibly beautiful voice came from behind the Bronze Mask:

"Why is there... a similar flower?"

"No... not just a flower."

"On you, there is the scent of that old man... and also... the scent of my brother?"

The white-clothed woman reached out a hand.

That hand was crystal clear, as if crossing through eternal time and space, gently reaching out toward Wang Teng.

There was no killing intent in this grasp.

But Wang Teng felt as if his entire being was frozen in place!

That was the absolute suppression of time and space!

"Crap! I've played it too big!"

Alarm bells rang in Wang Teng's heart. Although he had Empress Ruthless's obsession on him, he hadn't expected to actually draw the real person here!

This one was a famously "brother-protecting demon"!

If she thought I was a fake, or felt that I had desecrated her brother's aura and slapped me casually...

Then forget the Dunyi Realm, even an Immortal King would have to kneel!

"Senior! Sister! Empress!!"

Wang Teng thought quickly and, disregarding any loss of face, shouted loudly:

"I'm an ally!! I'm your brother's... uh... cross-time-and-space little fanboy!!"

The white-clothed woman's hand stopped three inches from Wang Teng's forehead.

Within her eyes hidden behind the mask, a flicker of emotion seemed to pass.

"Fanboy?"

She seemed to be pondering the meaning of this word.

Right then.

The wisp of Flying Immortal Obsession that had been dormant in Wang Teng's body was suddenly summoned and flew out automatically.

It turned into a faint light, circling around the white-clothed woman's fingertips, as if it were relaying something.

After a long time.

The white-clothed woman withdrew her hand.

She took a deep look at Wang Teng, then glanced at the dazed Shi Hao beside him.

"So that's how it is."

"Karma intertwines; the Chaotic Era... is also the starting point."

She sighed softly.

This sigh seemed to make the eternal ages mourn.

"This tree."

The white-clothed woman pointed at the first spiritual root: "It is useful to that child (Shi Hao).

In the future... he will need to use it as a foundation to evolve a world."

"As for you..."

The white-clothed woman looked at Wang Teng and lightly tapped her finger.

A beam of incredibly brilliant Light of Flying Immortals shot from her fingertip, instantly sinking into Wang Teng's forehead and merging with the World-Destroying Mark.

"I lend you a portion of my power."

"If you encounter an invincible foe... call upon my undying true name."

"I grant you—One Thought Blooms, Monarch Overlooks the World."

After saying this.

The white-clothed woman's figure began to fade.

The surging River of Time also began to recede rapidly, as if it had never appeared.

Only that incomparably overbearing phrase remained, echoing in Wang Teng's mind for a long time.

The wind stopped. The grey mist dissipated.

The Heavy-Pupilled Woman had long since vanished.

The moment she saw the white-clothed woman, she had been scared away by that terrifying power of karma.

Only Wang Teng and Shi Hao remained on the scene.

Wang Teng touched his forehead; next to the originally grey World-Destroying Mark, there was now a lifelike Great Dao Flower.

Though he hadn't tested its power yet, he could feel that the strength contained within this flower was enough for him to walk tall in this lower realm...

Even in the upper realm!

"Brother-in-law... who... who was that beautiful sister just now?"

Shi Hao swallowed hard, still immersed in that aura of eternal supremacy, unable to extricate himself.

"That person..."

A mysterious smile curled on Wang Teng's lips:

"That was your Brother-in-law's... other 'creditor'."

"Creditor?"

Shi Hao scratched his head, indicating he didn't understand.

"Don't worry about it."

Wang Teng tossed the Purple-Gold Fruit in his hand, then looked at the first spiritual root that the Empress had specifically mentioned leaving for Shi Hao.

"It seems this fruit belongs to me, and this tree belongs to you."

Wang Teng generously pulled the small tree out by its roots and threw it to Shi Hao.
