Chapter 773: Goddess of Time, Pursuit from the Upper Plane

Ye Xuan walked slowly toward Lin Xuan, her eyes flickering with complex light.

There was shock, admiration, and an indescribable, unclear sentiment.

"Great Emperor Lun Hui." Her voice was as pleasant as celestial music.

"Ye Xuan is willing to remain in the lower plane and follow in your footsteps."

These words rang out like a thunderclap, leaving everyone present stunned.

Emperor Xingchen widened his eyes even further, as if he had seen the most incredible thing.

"Ye Xuan! Have you lost your mind?" he hurriedly tried to stop her.

"You are the Starry Sky Empress of the Eternal Immortal Court; how can you stay in the lower plane?"

But Ye Xuan's determination was exceptionally firm; she slowly knelt and performed the highest-standard salute to Lin Xuan.

"Ye Xuan is willing, please accept me, Your Majesty."

As it turned out, Ye Xuan possessed the special ability to foresee the future.

The moment she saw Lin Xuan, countless fragments of the future flashed through her mind.

She saw the glory of Great Emperor Lun Hui unifying the heavens and the myriad worlds.

She saw the magnificent scene of him conquering the middle plane and achieving an unparalleled imperial legacy.

She even saw the important role she played within it.

Rather than being a restricted Starry Sky Empress in the middle plane, it was better to follow this man destined to make history.

Her intuition told her that this would be the best opportunity to change her fate.

Lin Xuan looked at Ye Xuan kneeling before him, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had not expected a powerhouse of the middle plane to take the initiative to defect; this was indeed unexpected.

However, since the other party was sincere, he would not refuse.

Having one more ally from the middle plane would only benefit the Lun Hui Empire, not harm it.

"Since you are willing, I naturally will not refuse."

Lin Xuan reached out his hand and helped Ye Xuan up.

"From this day forward, you are the Starry Sky Empress of the Lun Hui Empire."

The sudden betrayal of Starry Sky Empress Ye Xuan left Emperor Xingchen completely enraged.

His complexion was as gloomy as water, and dangerous light flickered in his eyes.

In the middle plane, no one had ever dared to ignore the majesty of the Eternal Immortal Court like this.

But facing the terrifying strength Lin Xuan had just displayed, he dared not act rashly.

That method of easily neutralizing the Star Annihilation caused deep apprehension to arise in his heart.

"Ye Xuan, you will pay the price for today's choice!"

Emperor Xingchen said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with threats.

"The Eternal Immortal Court will not let any traitor go!"

Ye Xuan's expression was calm, not shaken in the slightest by the threat.

"I will naturally bear the corresponding consequences for my choice."

"But I believe that following Great Emperor Lun Hui is the correct path."

Just as the two sides were in a tense standoff, an anomaly appeared in the sky once again.

The Void began to shake violently, becoming even more unstable than the previous spatial rift.

A brilliant space-time rift was violently torn open, containing chaotic space-time power within it.

From the rift came the sounds of intense fighting, as well as a woman's screams.

"Save me... someone wants to seize my Time Law..."

A voice, so weak it was almost impossible to hear clearly, came from the rift.

As soon as the words fell, a blood-soaked, beautiful figure fell from within.

This was a woman of indescribable beauty, with long, silver-white hair cascading like a waterfall.

Her eyes were as deep as the Xinghe, as if they contained the endless mysteries of the river of time.

Her body radiated strange fluctuations of the Time Law, causing the surrounding space-time to undergo subtle distortions.

But at this moment, she was severely wounded, and blood had stained her silver-white robes.

The Time Law had become chaotic and messy, unable to maintain a stable state.

"Time Goddess Kronos!"

Emperor Xingchen exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with awe and fear.

"How could she have escaped here from the upper plane?"

His voice was trembling; he clearly recognized the identity of this mysterious woman.

It turned out this woman came from an upper plane of a higher level than the middle plane.

She was a peerless powerhouse who governed the Time Law and enjoyed great fame throughout the entire universe.

But her current disheveled state clearly meant she had encountered some terrifying enemy.

An existence capable of making the Time Goddess flee in such a sorry state was definitely no simple character.

Sure enough, several black shadows soon appeared in the space-time rift.

These shadows radiated an extremely evil aura, making the surrounding space turn cold and gloomy.

Leading them was a Mysterious Person shrouded entirely in black mist.

His figure was tall, and his specific features could not be seen; one could only sense the terrifying killing intent contained within him.

"Kronos, you cannot escape!"

The voice of the Mysterious Person sounded as if it came from hell, filled with cruelty and evil.

"Obediently hand over the Origin of Time, and I can grant you a swift death!"

The aura exuded by this Mysterious Person was more than a hundred times stronger than that of the Star Sovereign.

Merely by standing there, the space of the entire Lun Hui Imperial Capital began to destabilize.

It was clearly a top-tier powerhouse from the Upper Plane, whose strength far exceeded the existence of the Middle Plane.

The Star Sovereign and the others felt this pressure, and their faces turned pale in an instant.

In front of such a powerhouse, they were as insignificant as ants.

The Goddess of Time, Kronos, raised her head with difficulty, a look of despair flashing in her eyes.

She had thought that by fleeing to the Lower Plane she could temporarily avoid the pursuit, but she had not expected to be found regardless.

In her current state, she was simply unable to resist these pursuers.

"I didn't expect that even in the Lower Plane, there would be someone who recognizes me."

Kronos gave a bitter smile, her voice filled with deep helplessness.

"It seems that this time, I truly cannot escape my fate."

Seeing this scene, a strong desire to protect surged in Lin Xuan's heart.

It was not only because of the Goddess of Time's peerless beauty, but even more so because of the stubbornness that persisted within her despair.

This unyielding will reminded him of the scene when the Great Emperor Lun Hui was besieged in his past life.

That spirit of facing powerful enemies alone, yet refusing to submit.

"On the territory of my Lun Hui Empire, it is not for others to run wild!"

Lin Xuan took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the Goddess of Time.

The Law of Lun Hui operated automatically, forming an indestructible barrier.

It completely protected Kronos within, isolating all malice and killing intent.

Seeing this, the black-fog Mysterious Person sneered: "Another ant who does not know the meaning of death."

"Since you want to meddle in other people's business, then die together!"

He raised his hand, and a ball of pitch-black energy condensed in his palm.

This ball of energy contained pure power of annihilation, enough to erase all existence.

Even a powerhouse of the Upper Plane would have their soul scattered if struck by this move.

"Divine Art of Annihilation: Return of All Things to Void!"

The Mysterious Person unleashed the terrifying Divine Art of Annihilation with all his might, intending to destroy Lin Xuan and the Goddess of Time together.

The black energy fluctuations swept over like a tsunami, and wherever it passed, even space began to collapse.

Seeing this move, the Star Sovereign and other Middle Plane powerhouses were scared out of their wits.

An attack of this level had already exceeded the scope of their understanding.

However, the moment the Divine Art of Annihilation touched the Law of Lun Hui, the Mysterious Person's expression changed.

The Law of Lun Hui not only completely neutralized his attack but even began to backlash against his power.

The moment that ball of annihilation energy touched the Lun Hui barrier, it began to reverse.

From a terrifying power that destroyed everything, it Zhuanghua into a gentle life force.
