Chapter 657: The White‑Clothed Dark Shadow That Envelops the Universe

At the same time—

A region deep within the Space-Time River, infinitely radiant and brilliant.

Here, light blazes in ten thousand rays, dazzlingly bright.

A towering, mighty man who treads the Space-Time River, with Fate Current above his head, law‑filled oceans around his waist, and grasps the Tiandao River with his hand—

Suddenly he opened those deep Dark Eyes!

Upon him draped a dark robe woven from tens of trillions of ancient stars!

Standing proudly at leisure—

Yet the Space-Time River of this entire region flickers with brilliance with each of his breaths!

Like a beating heart!

Like a pulsing rhythm!

This person—

Sword‑shaped brows, bright eyes, a lofty bearing, and extraordinary demeanor!

At this moment, he spoke, his voice carrying a faint magnetism, like the sound of Tiandao:

"Eh…"

"Nine Heavens Ten Lands are in danger…"

He paused, his Dark Eye light piercing the Eternal Time and Space, seeing the scene of the Border Wilderness World:

"It seems, this day has finally arrived…"

He let out a slight sigh, a hint of helplessness and relief within it:

"It seems—"

"I must go…"

If the Great Thousand Divine Universe Universe Lord were here and saw this being—

He would be utterly shocked and excited!

Because this person is, unmistakably, the most mysterious—

the First-generation Universe Lord of the Great Thousand Divine Universe!

and also the true founder of the Great Thousand Divine Universe!

At this moment—

The First-generation Universe Lord has already made up his mind!

To return to Nine Heavens Ten Lands!

To confront that man in an imperial robe—

in a battle!

He still cannot let go of that Great Thousand Divine Universe…

Cannot abandon those juniors…

Cannot abandon the land that nurtured him…

……

However—

And right at this moment!

A certain mysterious, terrifying, ancient region.

Here—

No Time!

No Space!

No Causality!

No law!

No order!

No void!

No Tiandao!

There is nothing!

Even concepts and logic have been lost!

This place is a bizarre realm where even Fate's trajectory, years and Reincarnation, Tiandao and rules cannot reach…

Only one thing can be known—

That is, this place is the legendary—

Before the Ancient Ages!

Even further back than the Ancient Ages, into endless ages!

Ancient and unfathomable beyond description!

This Terrifying Area—

Not even the Supreme!

Even an Ultimate Leap‑ranked defying Dark Being—

Has no right whatsoever to come here!!

But here—

Yet there exists a white‑clothed Dark Shadow!

Standing proudly in the Void!

Unparalleled elegance!

Aura blankets the universe!

That figure, merely standing there at leisure, seemed as if it were the center of the entire universe!

It is the ruler of all things!

It is the source of Tiandao!

At this moment—

This white‑clothed figure seemed to sense something.

Then—

A faint sigh escaped.

The sigh was light and faint.

Yet it seemed able to pierce Eternal Time and Space!

It could cut through endless ages!

"Alas…"

His voice, ethereal and distant, as if from the moment Chaos first opened:

"That little thing on the Other Shore."

He paused, his tone carrying a faint trace of helplessness and indifference:

"Just the ninety‑ninth Extinction Sequence."

"Only the cultivation realm of the Ultimate Leap."

"Not even having set foot in the realm of Transcendence…"

"And yet dares to impatiently launch this Ultimate Battle…"

"Hehe."

He let out a light laugh.

In that laugh there was no mockery, no contempt.

Only one—

A calm as if overlooking ants.

Then—

This man in white suddenly made a move!

No!

To be precise—

It doesn't even count as making a move!

It is only—

A faint white light drifted casually from the body of this man in white!

Just that casual!

Just that nonchalant!

As if a speck of dust had settled on him, lightly brushed away!

But—

It is at the very instant this faint white light appears!

Rumble—!!!

This bizarre region—

All seemed to tremble!

Wailing!

Submitting!

Bowing in worship!

That endless void, that eternal Darkness, that existence that has lost all concepts—

All before this faint light—

Tremble in fear!

Then—

This white light burst forth at an unimaginable speed!

Piercing through Infinite Void!

Piercing through one Epoch after another!

Piercing through endless years and Reincarnation!

Piercing through the barriers of Eternal Time and Space and Zhutian!

Almost at the very moment the white light appeared—

It suddenly arrived before the imperial‑robe man on the Other Shore!

At this moment—

The imperial‑robe man's massive hand hadn't even descended!

…

Border Wilderness World.

The imperial‑robe man was about to unleash that destructive strike!

Suddenly—

His expression changed abruptly!

An indescribable wave of fear suddenly surged to his heart!

He suddenly looked up!

He saw—

A beam of pure white light!

The light was gentle, warm, and holy!

As if it could Purify everything!

But—

In his eyes—

That was death!

It was Destruction!

It was an unstoppable Ultimate Great Power!

"What?!"

He was horrified into silence!

Instinctively he sensed an indescribable Great Terror, great crisis, and great threat!

He only felt—

An indescribable, irresistible, world‑defying supreme power—

Crashing down upon him!

No way to dodge!

No way to evade!

No way to escape!

The light transformed into a massive hand surging with endless white radiance!

Toward him—

It barreled forward recklessly!

"No—!!!"

The man in the imperial robe let out a desperate roar!

He turned pale with horror!

His pupils contracted sharply!

His spirit roared infinitely!

He actually—

On this pure white palm, he felt an unprecedented death crisis!

He realized—

Himself—

Would die beneath this hand!

He is the true source of the Other Shore World!

He is an supreme being who has already entered the Ultimate Leap!

He is a defiant powerhouse who has lived for Endless Era!

The dangers and predicaments he has endured are countless!

Not one of them he hasn't narrowly survived!

But at this moment—

He felt true fear for the first time!

It is fear of death!

It is fear of an incomprehensible existence!

He immediately let out a long howl!

He began to exert all his strength to resist!

"Roar—!!!"

His breath surged wildly!

The terrifying cultivation of the Ultimate Leap was driven to its limit!

He fell into complete madness!

The Other Shore World's Endless Dead Silence and Darkness continuously supplied him with energy!

Around him, an endless Dark Kingdom manifested!

That is his Dao Fruit!

That is his Primordial!

That is his everything!

That Nine Nether beast also emitted a terrifying, ultimate roar!

Divine might erupted!

He also struck!

It transformed into its true form, its massive body swelling again, nine python‑like tails wildly thrashing toward the pure white hand—

Recklessly bombarding!

However—

But it doesn't even have the right to block!

In an instant—

That pristine white hand brushed by like a gust of fresh wind!

Lightly and nonchalantly!

Carelessly!

But—

After the great hand passed—

In place—

Nothing remains!

Nine Nether Badger—

has vanished!

Imperial-robe man—

has vanished!

Everything in this Space—

Space‑time, Causality, Fate, Reincarnation—

has been completely obliterated by this palm!

Completely!

Spotlessly clean!

Not even a speck of dust was left!

……

That universe‑covering, peerless white‑clothed Dark Shadow—

across endless ages!

A casual strike!

Instantly killed the Nine Nether Badger of Supreme Boundless Great Perfection!

And—

the imperial-robe man of the Ultimate One Jump Tier!
