Chapter 1374

"Lu Xuan, why won't you speak? Why have you never spoken?"

Xiao Qing's heart was already overwhelmed by a towering wave.

Her feelings were indescribable.

This is only what the Strange Hall knows; as for the things they don't know, how much more has Lu Xuan done behind her back?

Wuuu...

Xiao Qing had already cried herself into a tearful mess.

The Strange Hall knows only one thing, not the other; they only know she has the Primordial Original Seed on her, but they don't realize that it is the Primordial Original Seed itself.

But she has also lost her past memories.

At this moment, countless Everlasting Army soldiers were also utterly shocked.

Are they beings that evolved within the World Tree, meaning everything originates from Lord Lu, right?

Then are they beings that came into existence after the World Tree?

Countless doubts arose in everyone's hearts.

At this moment, the Ancestor of Gloomy Slaughter continued, "If I remember correctly, when Lu Xuan descended back then, he indeed came with a River of Time. That River of Time contains great karma."

"Therefore, you beings may not all have been evolved from the World Tree; you could also be beings from that River of Time."

"With Lu Xuan's methods, only a thread of will and a breath of qi are needed to revive you!"

Everyone was slightly stunned.

The past has already been obscured in endless mist, while the future has arrived!

The Ancestor of Gloomy Slaughter also said, "As for why Lu Xuan, among myriad great worlds, chose this upstream River of Time, perhaps because this place was once a great world itself, with endless ages before it, flourishing like flowers, but it also underwent drastic changes, countless worlds were scattered, thus becoming what it is now."

Having said that, he paused and looked outward from the World Tree, where five Two-Star Dao Lord Realm experts strode toward the World Tree, and nearly ten One-Star Dao Lord Realm experts!

They were drawing ever closer.

Behind them, an even more powerful aura!

Three-Star Dao Lord Realm experts were also crossing the river, sending up endless snow-white spray.

Hahaha!

The Ancestor of Gloomy Slaughter shifted tone and burst into laughter, "Lu Xuan, you idiot, do you know why I'm telling you all this? It's merely to buy time. Now handing it over to the Little Heavenly Dao is useless! The Longevity Clan came here to destroy the World Tree, and they seek to draw upon this place's temporal power!"

Suddenly.

Boom—

Boom—

At the end of the upstream River of Time, endless waves surged; five Longevity Clan experts unleashed their Heaven-Earth Dharma Forms, their massive bodies like heavenly pillars thrust into the river, the water submerging them up to their chests, yet their forms remained with enormously huge heads, hairless and utterly smooth.

With each step they took, huge amounts of river water splashed.

The power of time continually swirled around them, forming vortex after vortex.

Moreover, they brought countless Longevity Clan juveniles; these dense masses of white worms continuously excreted from their Heaven-Earth Dharma Forms, like spawning, all invading the World Tree.

The leader, clad in gray robes, bellowed, "Zhang Chang comes to aid the Strange Hall with all his strength!"

Behind him, several voices rang out, "Wang Luo descends! Aid the Strange Hall with all his strength!"

"Xu Kun descends! Aid the Strange Hall with all his strength..."

In an instant, the World Tree of endless time standing in the upstream River of Time began to violently shake, as if it would topple into the river.

The impact from the Dao Lord Realm was too powerful!

Everyone felt utterly astonished.

This is merely the aura pressure of a Two-Star Dao Lord Realm!

And behind them are two Three-Star Dao Lord Realm experts!

Crack!

Crack!

Beyond the Strange Hall's Star Sea, the endless starry sky began to shatter, revealing the myriad seals hidden within the World Tree's trunk—dark light of death, black mist, the brilliant starry sky instantly becoming utterly lifeless and dim.

"Lu Xuan! Today I, Wang Hai, will surely avenge the grudge of years past!"

Within the upstream River of Time, that Three-Star Dao Lord Realm Longevity Clan man let out a frenzied roar; around him, the power of time manifested myriad phenomena, within which lay the heavens and earth, mountains and rivers, endless stars, and the vast past ages continually flowing.

"Back then, you slaughtered tens of thousands of my tribesmen in this upstream River of Time; today I shall surely kill you!"

Upon his enormous head, his facial features were twisted together, becoming utterly hideous.

Beside him was another Three-Star Dao Lord Realm expert!

His face was likewise filled with endless hatred and killing intent, "I am Lin Tian; remember my name! What damned Dao Lord, today you are no better than a stray dog!"

Back then, their tribe, stationed at the end of the upstream River of Time, had been ordered to annihilate Lu Xuan, but Lu Xuan flicked his finger and slew many of their strong ones, leaving them never to recover.

In an instant, over a dozen Dao Lord Realm experts, along with a vast tide of Longevity Clan juveniles, surged toward the World Tree.

Their power had already surpassed the World Tree!

The World Tree let out a desperate wail, continuously calling out for help to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan calmly soothed, "Don't be afraid."

Splash! Splash! Splash!

At the end of the upstream River of Time, the water surged heavenward; myriad defiant temporal forces surged, raising waves tens of thousands of feet high, within which faint fragments of time could be seen floating.

Within those temporal fragments, myriad images flickered.

An ancient palace, resplendent with gold and azure, its walls flowing with myriad brilliant Dao patterns; that palace was even more terrifying than the Dark Hall, yet in a breath it shattered into endless dust.

There was also an immeasurably vast starfield, boundless, even surpassing several heavenly domains like the Everlasting Heaven combined; within that starfield, the silhouettes of myriad powerful beings appeared, but soon the ages shifted, the starfield withered and vanished, and all living beings perished.

There was also an incredibly terrifying dynasty, wherein its many grandees paid homage to the Heavenly Gate; they bore the azure nether, and even merely turning their backs on everyone leaked a hint of awe-inspiring tyranny.

……

Each fragment represents the destruction of a star field.

Everyone was utterly shocked; just how many powerful forces have been buried in this Reverse Flow Long River? How many powerful civilizations?

It's simply terrifying!

These fragments have already had their Dao Resonance absorbed by these Longevity Clan Dao Sovereigns, becoming part of them.

Soon.

Wang Hai and Lin Tian, two Three-Star Dao Sovereigns whose steps pierce the heavens, have already arrived at the edge of the World Tree; they are about to act when a voice heavy with vicissitudes comes from the endless distance.

"Destroying the World Tree is permissible, but one must not stir up the waves of the Reverse Flow Long River!"

Upon hearing these words, Wang Hai and Lin Tian looked toward the endless distance and vaguely saw a blurry gray-robed figure sitting cross-legged, bearing the Azure Abyss, with an inscrutable aura circulating around them.

Having merely glanced at it, tears streamed down their faces, and they quickly averted their gaze in fright.

That gray-robed figure is far too powerful!

If they took another look, their very bodies would explode!

Three words appeared in their minds: "Past Sect!"
