Chapter 706: The Strange Movement in the Boundless Chaos Sea, The Sun on the River of Time (2)
706 The Strange Movement in the Boundless Chaos Sea, The Sun on the River of Time (2) “As long as a Quasi Immortal Emperor or Heaven’s Will who has grasped the power of Heaven Heart Light takes action, they will definitely not be able to escape the surveillance of the Lost Water Treasure Mirror. At that time, it will be obvious if the laws of the Boundless Chaos Sea have weakened.” “Master is far-sighted.” Yan Qing cupped his hands and smiled. “Junior Brother Feng also has an important mission this time.”
“When he returns, I’ll reward him well.” Emperor Wu smiled.
While the two of them were discussing happily, they had no idea that Feng Sheng had already fallen to the Dao Heaven Realm, from an Invincible Immortal King to an ordinary Immortal Monarch.
….
In fact, just as Emperor Wu and Yan Qing were about to monitor the changes in the laws and River of Time in the Boundless Chaos Sea, Cui Heng had already begun to pry into Feng Sheng’s past.
In Cui Heng’s eyes, all of Feng Sheng’s experiences in this life had turned into a series of images.
Feng Sheng’s background, growth, apprenticeship, cultivation, travel, and other series of experiences were all clearly visible.
Every detail he experienced during this process was completely reflected in these images.
At this moment, as long as he used his Dharmic powers to compress these images to the physical level and distorted the material form of Feng Sheng, he could turn Feng Sheng’s material form into a “Legend of Feng Sheng”.
Back then, the Yellow-scarved Strongman had used this method to compress Hao Jun into the Legend of Hao Jun.
Using this method to investigate a person’s past was very fast.
Therefore, not long after, the images of Feng Sheng’s life reached a critical time from Cui Heng’s perspective—he met a Quasi Immortal Emperor called Emperor Wu.
“This is a Quasi Immortal Emperor?” Cui Heng was now investigating from the perspective of the River of Time, so the version of Emperor Wu that he saw was naturally based on the spectrum of time.
Unlike Early-stage Return to Void realm cultivators who had their legs submerged in the River of Time, Quasi Immortal Emperors seemed to have half of their body submerged in the River of Time.
Moreover, their body was extremely huge and had a huge impact on the flow of the River of Time.
This also caused the power of time entangled on the body of Quasi Immortal Emperors to become even denser.
The dense power of time would allow a Quasi Immortal Emperor to exert stronger influence on the spectrum of time. This meant that a Quasi Immortal Emperor could have powerful time-type techniques.
Cui Heng roughly estimated that from the power of time that he could mobilize, Emperor Wu was stronger than his current self. There was no need to mention his Dharmic powers and body. Clearly, he was countless times stronger than him.
Of course, there were gains and losses. The power of time entangled in his body was too dense, and there were more negative effects.
If one was immersed in the River of Time too much, they would be affected by the power of time.
This caused the Quasi Immortal Emperors to be almost unable to defend against time-type spells and could only trade attacks equally.
When the same time-type attack landed on a Quasi Immortal Emperor, the damage and effect would also increase exponentially.
To put it simply, a Quasi Immortal Emperor was considered to be a type of high offensive and brittle defense character on the spectrum of time. Due to the different states of the River of Time, Early-stage Return to Void cultivators were relatively balanced.
Moreover, the grasp of time power by Return to Void cultivators did not depend on how much time power they were entangled with. Instead, it was affected by the depth of their investigation of time and the time-type spells they cultivated.
If Cui Heng cultivated a few more high-level time-type spells now, the amount of time power he could mobilize would almost be the same as a Quasi Immortal Emperor.
In addition, because Quasi Immortal Emperors were washed by the currents of the River of Time too much, they would be corroded more by the power of time and usher in their final death faster.
“In about 30 billion years, or five Primeval Eras, Emperor Wu will completely perish.” Cui Heng had sensed it in his heart and saw through the lifespan of Emperor Wu at a glance.
Then, he saw other Quasi Immortal Emperors in Feng Sheng’s past experiences. They were all close to Emperor Wu and could even be called good friends.
Without exception, half of these Quasi Immortal Emperors’ bodies were submerged in the River of Time and were corroded by the power of the River of Time. They would face the end result of an early death.
Among them, the one with the longest lifespan was about seven Primeval Eras.
Calculating according to the Chaos Calamity that happened once every 12 to 18 Primeval Eras, they would not have a chance to participate in the next Chaos Calamity.
How did the Quasi Immortal Emperors of the Primordial World die so quickly?
Cui Heng was a little puzzled.
However, he quickly found the answer from the memory of these Quasi Immortal Emperors.
The Primordial World had long found a solution to this situation of being corroded by the power of time.
As long as one participated in the process of the Primordial World annexing the universe to expand, they could use the various changes caused by the expansion of the Primordial World to wear down a portion of the time corrosion in their body and recover a large amount of their lifespan.
Letting the Primordial World annex a desolate universe could roughly recover the lifespan of one Primeval Era. A higher level universe could recover two Primeval Eras of lifespan.
The closer the level of the universe was to the core universe of the Boundless Chaos Sea, the more lifespan they could recover.
If the Primordial World could absorb the universes around the core of the Chaos Sea, they could even recover a lifespan of hundreds of Primeval Eras in one go.
If they absorbed the universe in the core of the Chaos Sea… That was just a thought for a Quasi Immortal Emperor. No one had ever let the Primordial World succeed in absorbing that kind of universe, not even an Immortal Emperor.
At this moment, Cui Heng came to a realization. The reason why the Primordial World and the Boundless Chaos Sea became mortal enemies was not purely because the Primordial World wanted to expand.
Instead, it was because the higher-ups of the Primordial World needed to let the original world expand. If they did not expand, they would die step by step.
“This is a fight to the death.” Cui Heng could not help but sigh with emotion.
Then, he continued to investigate Feng Sheng’s past.
After screening through the images one after another, he suddenly saw an incomparably dazzling light in front of him. A bright silver light of time was actually floating above the River of Time, emitting endless light like a sun.
Such a situation really shocked Cui Heng. He almost left the perspective of the River of Time and completely hid his aura.
The power of time contained in the “sun” in front of him was too terrifying.
Just looking at that “sun” made one feel that time had been distorted, and the past, present, and future would be affected.
However, Cui Heng quickly realized that although the light of this “sun” was strong, it could not shine on him.
Under the influence of the Eon Light Evasion spell, he had already fused with the River of Time. When the light of the “sun” shone over, it was as if it was shining on an ordinary stretch of the River of Time, unable to affect him at all.
After confirming this, Cui Heng began to observe more carefully.
Then, he realized that this “sun” was actually not floating in the sky above the River of Time. Instead, a pillar of light connected this “sun” to the River of Time.
From the form, Immortal Emperors were like a “lighthouse” in the River of Time. The light they released affected the past, present, and future at the same time.
“This is an Immortal Emperor?!” Cui Heng was rather surprised. “The cultivation path from the Quasi Immortal Emperor realm is to gather as much time power as possible and integrate it into their body?”
At this moment, he could clearly feel that the Immortal Emperor’s body was intertwined with the power of time that was far stronger than a Quasi Immortal Emperor.
This was clearly not the path to transcend time like Return to Void realm cultivators.
Instead, he gathered the power of time on himself and constantly increased his influence on time.
If he took such a path, what was the ultimate realm of this path?
Could it be that he was gathering all the power of time?
Was it really possible to reach that level?
Or could it be that this path might not reach a higher level at all?
Cui Heng looked at the vast River of Time and fell into deep thought.
He could see that the “sun” was gathering a huge amount of the power of time, affecting the past, present, and future. At the same time, the River of Time stirred up tidal waves around it.
It was as if it wanted to judge the pillar of light that supported the “sun” and let it fall back into the River of Time.
