Chapter 112: Mysterious Power, Power of the Immortal Emperor

His originally rosy complexion turned exceptionally pale, devoid of any color; his eyes were bloodshot, his gaze dim, and his overall mental state was extremely poor, as if he could collapse at any moment.

Looking around, all he could see were surging, rolling Space-Time waves, churning like a raging sea, emitting roars that shook the heavens.

Besides this, there was also an endless force of Space-Time erosion sweeping in from all directions, like thousands of incomparably sharp blades, constantly consuming his primordial energy.

Moreover, here, the surrounding environment presented a monotonous and oppressive color; everywhere he looked was the same hue, making it impossible to distinguish direction and location.

Even the riverbanks, which were once vaguely visible, had long since vanished, leaving only a vast, chaotic scene.

At this moment, they were already in the deepest part of the Time River, an unknown distance from the shore.

For the past ten days, he and Chu Xi had never stopped, searching for the Space-Time Dark River mentioned by the system every moment.

However, everything was in vain; they found nothing.

He now felt like he was about to reach his limit of endurance.

The deeper they went, the stronger the Space-Time power became! By now, it was more than ten times stronger than before.

Fortunately, this power did not increase explosively but rather gradually at a relatively slow pace.

It was precisely because of this that he had the opportunity to temporarily resist this terrifying erosive force by exchanging 7.5 million cultivation points for Space-Time Sand from the system, thus preventing both of them from dying on the spot.

It wasn't that he didn't want to exchange for more.

It was just that, regrettably, the effect that Space-Time Sand could exert had already reached its limit.

As for other ordinary Space-Time treasures, their effect was negligible, almost ignorable.

And those truly valuable treasures that could help them required an astonishing amount of cultivation points, which he currently could not afford to exchange for.

At this moment, the situation had already reached its extreme limit!

Every short half an hour, they had no choice but to stop and rest for a while.

If not, their last trace of energy would quickly dissipate, making it impossible to continue.

Beside him, Chu Xi's face was filled with anxiety, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Yu, her gaze full of tenderness.

If Lin Yu hadn't held her tightly and repeatedly warned her not to leave, she would have probably been unable to restrain her impulse and rushed out regardless of the consequences.

After all, for ten whole days, she had been like a heavy burden, causing Lin Yu to grow weaker and more exhausted day by day.

For a cultivator to be sweating cold, it was evident how weak Lin Yu had become at this moment.

Apart from the first day, when they drifted into the depths of the Time River, they spent the remaining nine days searching for the Space-Time Dark River.

But her divine sense was interfered with by a special power in the river, preventing her from probing too far.

This was also why they hadn't found it yet.

“Xiao Yu, it’s all my fault. If only I were stronger, perhaps I could have found it!”

When Chu Xi and Lin Yu had to stop to rest once again, Chu Xi embraced Lin Yu tightly, her heart aching. With trembling hands, she gently stroked Lin Yu’s face, as if wanting to convey her endless guilt and self-reproach through this action.

She murmured to herself while transferring life force to Lin Yu.

Two lines of clear tears slowly traced down her stunning face, then dripped onto Lin Yu's chapped and bloodless lips.

They still hadn't found a way to survive after all.

Instead, she even implicated Lin Yu to accompany her...

She was unwilling, yet helpless.

If the space-time boundary marker were still in her hands at this moment, the two of them could certainly leave safely.

She knew the level of the space-time boundary marker.

It was more than sufficient to deal with the branches of the Time River.

But, there was no 'if' anymore.

If time could be rewound, she would absolutely never leave the space-time boundary marker behind again...

However.

Lin Yu had no response.

Although he was exhausted at this moment, it wasn't yet time for despair.

Taking advantage of the brief rest, he focused all his energy on communicating with the system to find a way to the Space-Time Dark River.

If he truly couldn't get out, not only would he perish, but the system would also dissipate.

At this time, outside of the mandatory rules, everything could be communicated.

“System, these past few days, Chu Xi and I have tried several areas. All our divine sense power was blocked by an unknown force. There is no ‘weak force area’ as you mentioned.”

Lin Yu spoke of the past few days' situation, his expression grave.

He hadn't been flying around like a headless chicken these past few days; instead, he had been searching for the 'weak force area' that the system mentioned.

According to the system, that unknown force was the power of Immortal Kings, seeping into the river from the two individuals fighting to the death upstream in the main channel of the Time River.

It was normal for divine sense not to penetrate.

But no matter how strong they were, they wouldn't be strong enough to affect the Space-Time Dark River.

Therefore, a 'weak force area' would appear above the Space-Time Dark River. As long as they found this area, it would be equivalent to finding the Space-Time Dark River.

But now, his primordial energy was severely over-consumed, and even the Main Star and the nine Purple Stars within his body had dimmed considerably.

Recovery had become very difficult; his entire body felt like an old machine.

If they couldn't find it soon, they truly wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

And the so-called ‘weak force area’ still hadn’t been found.

He even suspected that the system might have made a mistake.

【That shouldn't be, the Immortal King's strength isn't that... Wait, no!】

“What’s wrong? Did you find something?”

Hearing the system's sudden exclamations, Lin Yu's heart also rose and fell.

This guy never acted like this before; he used to be so calm, as if everything was under his control.

Why was he acting so mysteriously now?

【Damn it, these two old schemers actually hid their cultivation. This is the Power of the Immortal Emperor, not Immortal King at all!】

Suddenly, the system cursed directly, as if being deceived made it extremely angry.

Uh...

What in the world is an Immortal Emperor?

Immortal King had already far exceeded his comprehension, and now there was an Immortal Emperor.

And it seemed that an Immortal Emperor was even more formidable than an Immortal King.

Lin Yu was a bit speechless.

This guy was acting all surprised and didn't hurry to think of a solution; what was there to be angry about?

“Hurry up, I don’t understand any of that stuff you’re talking about. Just tell me if there’s a solution?”

He had no time to waste with this guy here and immediately urged him.

This truly touched upon his blind spot of knowledge; he could only rely on the system for advice.

【Immortal Emperor is another level of power, far beyond Immortal King. That kind of power can already affect the Space-Time Dark River.】
