579: Chapter 579 The Neurotic Space Dao Ancestor

"Hahaha, this familiar air! This familiar world! This Venerable One has finally returned!"

From within the rift, Wu Xuchuan erupted with immense excitement, much like a prisoner sentenced to life who had finally succeeded in breaking out of jail.

That giant eye was constantly surveying the outside world through the rift, showing not the slightest remorse for killing its savior, nor did it place the ant behind it in its eyes.

Feng Xu watched that rift and slightly raised his head.

"A creature from the Immortal Realm? Why is its aura so strange?"

After watching for a while, Wu Xuchuan finally took action once he was certain there were truly no Immortals present.

The giant eye within the rift retreated slightly, and four fingers hooked onto the top and bottom, pulling gently. The already immensely huge rift instantly stretched into a circle.

"Ruby, hurry out! We are about to be free!"

After the rift was pried open, Wu Xuchuan did not emerge immediately; what came out first was a pure white beagle.

The white beagle ran out from the rift in an upright, human-like posture; its tiny body created a strong sense of dissonance against the massive gap.

Seeing this scene, Feng Xu was stunned for a moment, and upon confirming that its aura was merely that of an ordinary dog, he was even more stunned.

What is this thing?

The moment the beagle named Ruby emerged, it dashed toward Dream City below.

But just as it struck a diving pose, it was as if it had hit a solid ground. The whole dog bounced up like a spring, then seemed to switch to vibrate mode, shaking for a long while before closing its eyes and falling straight down.

"Ruby!"

In his anxiety, Wu Xuchuan also rushed out, but what emerged was not the giant people imagined, but a young man with medium-length hair and dark circles under his eyes.

He wore a loose white robe draped sloppily over his body, and his whole demeanor gave off an eccentric vibe.

Without a word, Wu Xuchuan gave Ruby CPR, and before long, Ruby was inflated like a balloon.

The moment the CPR stopped, Ruby flew into the river of time like a deflating balloon, spun around a few times, and landed back down.

Watching Ruby, who had just opened its eyes, rubbed its head, and seemed confused about the situation, Wu Xuchuan gave it a big hug.

"Ruby, it's so good that you're okay!"

After saying this, he also touched the invisible wall in front of them.

Dream City was right below at this moment, but they simply couldn't go down.

Ruby broke free from Wu Xuchuan's embrace, stood up straight, dusted off its chest, then placed its hands behind its back and said with composure.

"Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out for a short while."

"I just tried to go down, but there is no space there. If my guess is correct, we should be in the river of time right now."

"Below should be the future, a future that has not yet happened, so it doesn't exist yet, and we can't go down."

Wu Xuchuan clutched his head, his eyes widening.

"Doesn't that mean This Venerable One just changed locations for imprisonment?"

"I don't know the Dao of Time!"

Ruby gave him a dead-fish stare and pointed at Feng Xu, who was approaching.

"Of course we won't be trapped forever. Since we have already come out, it means we possess infinite possibilities."

"Moreover, that man—I can feel that it was his footsteps that extended this path."

"So he must have power related to time on him. Can't we just absorb his power into our Dao path?"

"That's right! This Venerable One has already come out, so doesn't that mean This Venerable One can do whatever This Venerable One wants?"

Wu Xuchuan stood up, bent his head backward as if it had snapped, and stared straight at Feng Xu behind him.

"You little ant over there, you've been listening to This Venerable One talk for a long time, haven't you?"

"If you don't want to be exploded on the spot like that smaller ant from just a moment ago, give me all your power."

"Once This Venerable One returns, if I'm in a good mood, I might even introduce you to the Time Dao Ancestor."

Feng Xu had witnessed the entire scene, only seeing Wu Xuchuan talking to himself as if he were crazy.

He looked at the madman in front of him, then turned to look at the path he had come from.

"There is still plenty of time; let's just treat this as a warm-up."

Feng Xu raised a hand, his eyes locked firmly onto Wu Xuchuan, and he softly uttered two words.

"Dao Struggle."

Wu Xuchuan, who had been grinning wildly, had his expression change, his eyes instantly becoming sharp.

"Ruby, you go first. This opponent is tough!"

Ruby was pushed away by Wu Xuchuan. It wanted to return but didn't want to make things difficult for him, so it could only grit its teeth and say.

"Master, be careful!"

Wu Xuchuan nodded and said with a determined look:

"This Venerable One will take you away today. Let's see who dares to stop me!"

In Feng Xu's eyes, Wu Xuchuan had simply slapped the dog, followed by a spatial fluctuation that teleported it far away.

In just a few breaths, Wu Xuchuan had babbled on and on, adding a whole lot of drama for himself.

Regarding this, Feng Xu had only one evaluation.

"Psychotic."

As he spoke, Feng Xu's Law of Wind had already covered the opponent, connecting to his Foundation. As soon as the connection was established, Feng Xu understood his origin.

"The Dao of Space, is it?"

"I haven't actually seen this before, but... I can win."

Wu Xuchuan turned his body around, snapped his broken head straight from behind, and revealed a sinister grin.

"What kind of ghost thing did you put on me? Forget it, you must die today. I had originally intended to spare your life!"

"Take this, ant!"

Below the battlefield where the great battle had erupted, the crowd, having just witnessed Zhou Yan's death, cried out one after another.

"Zhou Yan!" × n

"Ace!"

"Boss!"

Seeing that incredibly shocking scene above Dream City, everyone thought Zhou Yan had sacrificed himself to buy an opportunity to confront Feng Xu.

For a moment, there were those sighing, those grieving, and those feeling a hint of relief. But just then, a voice came from behind them.

"Why are you ghosts howling? I'm still alive."

Amidst Yuan Chenling's wailing, Zhou Yan walked out from behind the crowd with his arms crossed.

"You... aren't you dead?"

"Clearly your life force was..."

Cen Xiu covered her mouth with one hand, while pointing a trembling finger at Zhou Yan.

She didn't care about Zhou Yan's death, but a person who had clearly died just now walking out from behind her—this was too wrong.

Although his appearance had changed, she had long since seen this look on the Butian Pavilion website; it was Zhou Yan's original appearance.

So the other party really didn't die, and even on a battlefield of that level, he didn't die. This was too incredible.

This feeling was not shared only by Cen Xiu; even the steady and prudent Su Yao was somewhat surprised.

Zhou Yan didn't intend to explain, just looked at Yuan Chenling somewhat strangely.

"It's one thing for others to be surprised, but why are you surprised, you guy? Can't you sense whether I'm okay or not? Or are you, you bastard, Ma Hao in disguise again?"

Zhou Yan approached Yuan Chenling and fiercely pulled his face to the sides, wanting to see if he was still holding something in his mouth that he shouldn't be.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, Boss, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"I'll never dare do it again next time, please let go."

The crowd ignored Yuan Chenling's screams and instead asked Zhou Yan another question.

"They are fighting up there. We won't be in danger, will we? In a battle of that level, even if we are far away, it doesn't make any difference, right?"

"Rest assured, I threw him directly into the river of time. If they can truly shatter the river of time, then our deaths would be the least of our concerns."

After kneading Yuan Chenling for a while, Zhou Yan felt much better.

Of course, he knew this wasn't Yuan Chenling's fault; it was truly that old bastard Ma Hao who was too sinister. But this kid had contributed an assist, so he couldn't let him off the hook so easily.

"Wait until we get out, then see how I deal with you!"

Yuan Chenling rubbed his face and apologized with a grievance-filled look.

At the same time, he knew in his heart that this was his Boss giving him a way out.

No matter how innocent he was, this last move was ultimately delivered by him. If they really got out later, he would have to take the blame for this.

And now that his Boss had shouldered the matter and even solved it, naturally, it was no longer his business.

Rubbing his face, Yuan Chenling raised his head and, seeing the two opposing figures about to start a war, transmitted his voice somewhat cautiously.

Divine Sense Transmission: "Boss, can that guy you summoned win? If he really wins, given the other guy's strange appearance, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"

Zhou Yan's expression didn't change, his demeanor remaining relaxed, but his responding transmission made Yuan Chenling startle.

Divine Sense Transmission: "I don't know. Right now, the only thing we can hope for is that the Old Ancestors might take action."

Seeing Yuan Chenling about to shake, fearing he would reveal something and cause unease among the crowd, Zhou Yan put his hand on his head first, then changed the subject and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, where did Lv Yang go?"

Yuan Chenling only then realized that he couldn't show fear now, so he swallowed his saliva and regained his composure.

Bai Ling heard this and looked at Zhou Yan, saying.

"We had originally intended to come down to pursue Ma Hao, but Fellow Daoist Lv said his strength was low and he wouldn't come, so we separated from him."

"At that time, the barrier had already disappeared, and he flew directly outside Dream City. He shouldn't be in any danger now."

Hearing Bai Ling's words, Xie Bian clenched his fist as if wanting to say something, but then thought of the time Lv Yang had mentioned; he just glanced at Zhou Yan and then raised his head back toward the sky.
