going from a mere mortal blacksmith to this point was truly unbelievable, truly unimaginable...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Di voluntarily introduced his background, and Su Mu also reciprocated with a simple introduction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no special identity; I am the River Guardian here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guard this river.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Wu Di’s eyes widened, his gaze towards Su Mu filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this the River of Time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the guardian here, which means he is the Time River Guardian?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he understood why Su Mu gave him such a strong sense of oppression, why he could appear in his residence unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that this River of Time was guarded by him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder every Magical Treasure he took out was astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a thought that had never occurred to Wu Di before emerged in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned the silver dagger to Su Mu and said very seriously, \"Brother Su, I wish to spar with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Su Mu was stunned and asked in response, \"Spar with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope Brother Su can give it your all;

now that Wu Di had requested it, it suited him perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stood on an open ground, facing each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent too wide a spread, Su Mu waved his large hand, and a golden seal flew out from his sleeve, floating above the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, the seal emitted Immortal Light, enveloping the surroundings, and the scenery around began to change as they entered an independent Different Dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this Different Dimension, the space was infinitely large, unrestricted by space, allowing them to fully showcase their skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Di looked up, observing that the Space Rules were very sturdy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, this space will not enhance me in any way, nor will it affect you in any way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu said to Wu Di.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Di looked at Su Mu, flames of battle intent igniting in his pupils. As his pupils contracted, a powerful aura instantly enveloped the space, his Vital Blood Force so strong it materialized, with thick golden blood mist filling the space, spreading beyond his sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was merely Wu Di’s blood qi overflowing, yet to such an extent, demonstrating his powerful physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu still stood in place, without any movements or use of Cultivation Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to clash physically with Wu Di, as he had long desired to test the limits of his own body.\u003C\u002Fp>",1172,"2026-05-29T18:57:29.945Z","2026-06-01T04:30:00.195Z",1,"novelbin.me","4d691d065a62df3fc48c7bddc0df0ab73dbd61eabf9046370ec2482f628bae6f","guarding-the-river-of-time-chapter-573","guarding-the-river-of-time-chapter-571",583,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fguarding-the-river-of-time-cover.jpg"]
