Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1663: Chapter 773: Forbidden Immortal Technique: River of Time, Human Race Forbidden Zone (2)

Therefore, he didn’t even need to use the Teleportation Array to reach every corner of the Human Race territory.

In just an instant, Jiang Fan arrived at the edge of the 777 Area, which marked the outskirts of the Human Race domain.

"Is this the River of Time that safeguards the Human Race?"

Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted.

He was seeing the Human Race’s Time Forbidden Area so clearly for the first time.

Before his eyes was a boundless grey fog, enveloping an endless region without a visible end.

The entire land was tightly wrapped in thick, lead-like time fog, amidst which floated chaotic fragments of time; one moment showing shadowy ancient ancestors running, the next moment flashing images of future cultivators’ downfall. A touch could lead to the Divine Soul being torn apart by turbulence, with the flesh instantly aging and withering.

The fog layered outward, transformed into an immense barrier, completely isolating the forbidden area from the outside world. Any human or cultivator venturing within a hundred feet of the fog would become lost between past and future, never to return.

Surrounding the forbidden area was the endless River of Time. The water was not ordinary, but shimmering with silvery glaze of the Origin of Temporal Sequence, flowing turbulently from the ancient past to the boundless future, with tiny waves upon which fragments of disappeared years were sealed.

The river encircled the entire forbidden area, its flow possessed the might to devour time itself, any life form attempting to cross would have their body and Lifespan instantly drained, and even their Divine Soul would become fine dust at the riverbed.

On the river surface floated the remnants of broken bridges of years and decayed imperial shipwrecks, relics of past adventurers trying to breach the forbidden area, drifting quietly in the never-ceasing temporal torrent.

The land beneath had no grass, no signs of life, as far as the eye could see was covered with layers and layers, endless bones.

There were skeletons of the Human Race, relics of Ten Thousand Races’ beasts, demon bones, corpses of Immortal Race, small as fingertip fragments or as large as mountain-sized dragon bones, half bodies of Golden Immortal skeletons intermingled, deeply buried beneath the cracked grey-black earth, with many exposed on the surface.

All bones were eroded by time to a grey-white faded glow, interwoven with pale golden temporal patterns within the cracks, with many skeletons half-weathered into pieces, leaving only incomplete frames embedded in the earth’s crevices, each inch of white bone engraved with time-swept desolation.

Undoubtedly, this forbidden area has become the burial ground of the Immortal Race, burying countless invaders.

Rashly entering would lead to certain death.

The stones on the ground would rapidly weather and fracture upon touch, the flow of time was chaotic and unpredictable; in one place a hundred years could pass in a blink, while a moment could feel like a millennium at a close distance.

The void above was never clear, with a dim bleak sky, millions of intricate time Dao Patterns appeared out of nowhere, crisscrossing, covering the entire sky.

The patterns shifted in silvery, dark gold, and azure grey colors, some twisted like flowing water around the void, some engraved as Heaven and Earth Laws, countless minute patterns constantly birthed, extinguished, and reformed, each carrying the power of Temporal Sequence Origin.

Sometimes the patterns shed tiny strands of light, sweeping past ground bones, causing the touched white bones briefly to display shadows of their owner’s previous battles, enlightenment, and aging.

When patterns collided, they stirred space-time ripples, tearing countless instant space-time fissures, revealing fragmented scenes of different epochs deep within the rifts.

The River of Time roared incessantly, the fog churned endlessly, the void Dao Patterns flowed non-stop, silent bones scattered around sing ancient tragic tales.

This place isolated past, present, and future, the laws of time formed a closed loop, creating a man-made time forbidden land, the bleakest and most perilous boundary of Human Race territory; any who set foot here would become nothing more than a handful of dissipated bones within the River of Time.

"Too powerful, is this the strength of the Time Abyss Immortal King?"

"It’s practically creating a river of time within the Immortal Realm."

"Forcing this area to become a time forbidden area."

Jiang Fan felt deeply awed inside.

This was a terrifying power beyond Immortal Golden Immortal, an immense force towering above all immortals.

He considered himself quite powerful now.

But compared to a true Immortal King, he was far from reaching that level.

No wonder only by becoming an Immortal King could one truly be considered a magnate in the Immortal Realm, a true sovereign.

This was an unparalleled power that no Golden Immortal could compare to.

Of course, the Time Abyss Immortal King was not an ordinary Immortal King, even among many Immortal Kings, he was an extremely terrifying existence.

Thus, he could achieve this feat.

Thinking of this, he anticipated even more to become an Immortal King.

Only by becoming an Immortal King can one truly grasp their destiny in the Immortal Realm; otherwise, one is merely a slightly larger ant, unworthy of mention.

"This River of Time is like a natural moat, isolating the Human Race from the outside."

"Any life form stepping into the River of Time is virtually destined for death."

"Moreover, the power of time in this area is surging, extremely violent."

"The more violent the area, the more terrifying the flow of time; perhaps billions of years could pass in a single breath."

"Unless one possesses eternal Lifespan, there’s no way to withstand such a rapid time flow."

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes.

His Divine Sense spread out, carefully perceiving the vast river of time.

This is the time forbidden land created by the Time Abyss Immortal King, like a protective wall safeguarding the Human Race’s safety.

Though it also hindered the Human Race’s movement, equating to mere struggling on the brink of death, it couldn’t be helped.

The Immortal Race was simply too powerful.

The Human Race simply couldn’t compare.

Without relying on such a forbidden area, it’s feared within a few days the Human Race would disappear in the Immortal Realm.

Erased entirely by the Immortal Race, leaving no trace.

"Turns out those Immortal Race have found the rhythm of the River of Time."

"So they could quietly sneak over during the river’s tranquil moments."

"This way, the flow of time wouldn’t be overly violent, and they could endure it."

"Once crossing this time forbidden area, nothing can stop them."

Jiang Fan suddenly understood the Immortal Race’s plan.

But even if he understood, there’s no way to stop it.

Because the Human Race domain and boundary were incredibly vast, if the enemy chose a random place to invade, the Human Race was helpless.

The Human Race couldn’t monitor every single spot on the boundary all the time.

Immortal Race immortals would constantly sneak over.

These smugglers couldn’t be stopped.

Fortunately, the Immortal Race couldn’t smuggle in large numbers.

So occasionally causing heavy casualties to the Human Race, but unable to damage the fundamental.

Moreover, once they appear, they would be besieged by Human Race Legions.

Thus for them, venturing into the Human Race domain wasn’t really beneficial.

Presumably, those Immortal Race immortals were sent by high-level entities as expendable fodder.

Intending to hinder the Human Race’s progress.

"Fortunately, I possess the power of Destiny’s hint, already having foresight of their landing spots."

"With this, I can strike them halfway."

"As soon as attacking them from afar could trigger the river’s violent reaction."

"At that time, just the violent reaction of time’s force alone would be enough to annihilate this massive army completely."

"They probably have no idea I’m lying in ambush here."

"For me, this is a great opportunity to ambush and kill the Immortal Race Golden Immortal."

Jiang Fan clenched his fist with excitement.

Such opportunities are rare.

After all, most of the time the Immortal Race sends only a few scattered immortals over.

These immortals disperse and hide, making them difficult to handle.

Even if it flared up, those who’d be killed were just a handful of immortals.

Unlike now, where it could potentially destroy an entire Immortal Race legion.

If missed this chance, who knows when the next one would come.

Thinking of this, he stayed put, concealed deep within the void, quietly waiting.

......

As time flew by, five days later.

In another area of the Human Race territory, where the Immortal Race’s vast domain lay.

From a distance were massive cities inhabited by innumerable immortals, shrouded in eerie dark aura, seemingly intending to engulf all the laws of the Immortal Realm.

As they gradually spread, the black fog seemed to come alive, extending across each area, eroding every law, while weakening every bit of the Immortal Realm Celestial Dao’s power.

This is the terror of the Immortal Race; they’re eroding and assimilating the Immortal Realm’s Celestial Dao.
