Chapter 829: Epoch Invincible!

But at this moment, the ominous master had to consider whether to employ that move.

It wasn't because of Ye Zhetian's oppression, nor because of the stalemate, but because of Ye Wuque.

Because Ye Wuque's defying talent had already made him feel an unprecedented fear.

At the Dao Void Realm Peak, a single strike can annihilate over twenty Ultimate Leaps; once he completes his breakthrough, what level will he reach?

Now sacrificing his own life to crush this threat might also remove a major menace from the No Return Path;

If he hesitates further and waits for Ye Wuque's breakthrough, even using that move might not be enough to kill the opponent.

However, just as the ominous master was engaged in the Heaven-Human War,

At the moment when Zhutian Wanjie and the No Return Path reached the most delicate balance,

a terrifying turn of events that none of the existences could anticipate arrived without any warning.

……

Beyond the true infinite far end of the No Return Path lies a mysterious region.

It belongs neither to Zhutian Wanjie nor to the No Return Path.

It is... the Unknowable Land.

Located outside Zhutian Wanjie, independent of all space-time universes of Zhutian Wanjie.

Here there is no concept of time, no bounds of space, and no law can define the shape or mode of existence of this area.

It exists both within Zhutian Wanjie and outside Zhutian Wanjie;

It exists in this Epoch yet transcends any Epoch.

Within the Void of this Unknowable Land stretches a jet‑black long river.

The river spans endlessly, everywhere, with no distant limit.

Each drop of its water carries space-time more vast than the entire Zhutian Wanjie, and each wave swirls with the rise and fall of countless Epochs.

Hundreds of billions of stars in this black river are as insignificant as grains of sand, circling the river slowly like subjects paying homage to an emperor.

Above the river, a peerless gray figure sits cross‑legged, surrounded by an infinitely transcendent aura.

It is unknown how long that figure has been seated there.

Perhaps it has been here since the birth of Zhutian Wanjie, or perhaps it is even older than Zhutian Wanjie.

His body towers endlessly, too immense to be measured by any scale.

With each breath of his, countless universes are born and perish in the inhalation and exhalation.

With each heartbeat of his, countless Epochs cycle in the rhythm of his pulse.

And at the moment Ye Wuque's surrounding breakthrough aura rose to its peak—

the peerless figure suddenly opened those terrifying eyes that had been sealed for ages!

It is indescribable what kind of eyes those are.

The instant it opened, hundreds of billions of stars across the Unknowable Land dimmed for an instant, and the entire black river ceased flowing at that very moment.

Within those eyes, countless space-times rose and fell.

Not an illusion, not a phenomenon, but real, complete countless space-times!

Each fragment of space-time contains realms more vast than Zhutian Wanjie.

Moreover, hundreds of billions of black holes are evolving.

Those black holes do not merely devour everything; they crush all laws and all existence into the ultimate form of primordial Chaos!

Endless stars are being born and perished.

Each birth and death is the rise and fall of a complete Epoch, from Singularity to expansion to contraction to Jiemie!

Those are eyes that have witnessed the rise and fall of countless Epochs, countless universes, countless civilizations.

There is no emotion in those eyes.

No pity for life, no excitement for destruction, no yearning for battle.

Only an absolute, extreme indifference, like the merciless Heavenly Dao.

As if the survival of Zhutian Wanjie, the rise and fall of the No Return Path, the half‑step transcendental battles of twenty beings, the lives of hundreds of billions of beings, all appear to those eyes as no different from ants struggling.

Then, the peerless figure slowly turned its gaze toward Zhutian Wanjie.

That gaze pierced the endless Space-Time Barrier between the Unknowable Land and Zhutian Wanjie, pierced the cataclysmic wave stirred by the chaotic half‑step transcendental clash of twenty beings on the Space-Time River, pierced the protective shield laid by Ye Zhetian and Ye Beichen risking their lives, and finally… fell upon Ye Wuque.

"Eh…"

A voice of extreme indifference whispered from the Unknowable Land.

The sound carried no deliberate pressure, it was exceedingly light and faint.

Yet this ultra‑light whisper resonated like a supreme tone that transcended all space, time, and laws, echoing throughout Zhutian Wanjie, the No Return Path, and the Unknowable Land.

Even the twenty half‑step transcendental beings battling deep within the Space-Time River felt, at that instant, a terrifying aura that made their souls tremble.

"This aura… another little dragon is about to breakthrough? Not yet a thousand years… Dao Void Realm Peak… a single strike can annihilate over twenty Ultimate Leaps… Four Sacred Method Origins… Ten Thousand Heads Billion Arms… This child is odd. Cannot be kept."

Immediately, the terrifying figure, toward Zhutian Wanjie, casually extended a hand.

It was a colossal, jet‑black, terrifyingly massive hand!

The hand was so huge it could grasp the entire Nine Heavens Ten Earths and the whole Zhutian Wanjie within its palm!

There were no Dao markings, no runes, no trace of any law on the palm.

Because before it, all Dao Rules, all laws, all origins have been surpassed by that pure power, losing meaning.

The great palm shattered the Space-Time River.

The Space-Time River, spanning countless Epochs of Zhutian Wanjie and bearing the memories of countless worlds, appeared before that massive palm like an insignificant creek.

Where the palm touched, vast stretches of the Space-Time River were erased from their source—not shattered, not evaporated, but completely removed, as if those fragments had never existed.

The massive palm covered Zhutian Wanjie, descending boldly from the uncharted region beyond the End of the Road of No Return… the Unknowable Land… and slammed down!

At this moment, the entire Zhutian Wanjie trembled.

This giant hand is too vast, too towering.

It cut off the endless Star Domain, cut off the trillions of realms.

Along the way it shattered countless regions of the Space‑Time River, and innumerable worlds and universes turned to dust in an instant.

The beings in those worlds and universes did not even have time to feel fear, to realize what was happening, before they were swept into eternal void together with their worlds.

On the Supreme Battlefield, all the half‑step transcendences engaged in the great war, whether from the Zhutian Wanjie side or the No Return Path side, all turned pale in unison.

They halted their ongoing slaughter, their gazes inevitably all turning toward the Defying Heaven Giant Hand spanning the universe.

The pressure that hand exerted on them was more terrifying than the pressure they imposed on each other.

It was a completely different tier of power that towered above half‑step transcendence!

"This… this aura… could it be…"

For the first time, Ye Zhetian's voice contained unmistakable shock and a trace of uncontrollable fear.

The Heavenly Emperor Cauldron above his head began to tremble slightly under the hand's pressure, not from a clash of forces but because the Cauldron itself was terrified.

Ye Beichen's Dark Eyes, which regarded life and death lightly, narrowed sharply, and even his voice became hoarse:

"How could this be? This kind of Dark Being… a supreme Dark Being of this rank… how could it act personally? How is this possible! Haven't they always been aloof, never intervening in mortal conflicts?"

"Who on earth is this? How could the No Return Path clan possess such depth? No! That's wrong!"

Honghuang Longzu's ancient Dragon Chant was filled with horror, and its Dragon Dark Eyes fixed rigidly on the source direction of that giant hand.

"This great Dark Being—he comes from the Unknowable Land! That aura that transcends everything must be from beyond the No Return Path, the Unknowable Land! Damn! Such a Dark Being… shouldn't it stay out of Zhutian Wanjie affairs? How can it arbitrarily intervene? How could it?!"

The Dust Emperor's Red Dust Dao Diagram fluctuated violently under the hand's pressure, and the ten‑thousand‑zhang Red Dust phenomenon flickered like a candle in a gale.

He gritted his teeth and said, "This… is truly an invincible Dark Being that has already ascended to that tier!"

"Each Epoch has only one! The absolute Era Invincible! Overlooking the Zhutian Wanjie through the ages! Since antiquity, there have only ever been that tiny handful!"
