#489 - Across time and space
Jun Wuxie sensed a mysterious aura on the metal tag. After all, it was something left behind by the Xuanyuan Emperor, so he didn't think much about it and casually put it into his storage ring.
“How did that old coffin dodderer live to this day?”
Learning that the old man in the straw cloak was possibly someone arranged by the Xuanyuan Emperor back then, he was very shocked.
The time was too long ago.
A Half-Saint only has a lifespan of about twenty thousand years, and it's impossible to live for such a long time. Even if they use spirit crystal stones to seal themselves and fall into dormancy, they can only survive for hundreds of thousands of years at most.
“Wuxie, what should we do with these medicinal liquids?”
Mu Yunxi pointed to the liquid gradually cooling in the medicinal furnace.
Since most of the liquid inside was wrapped by Jun Wuxie's blood energy sphere, it wasn't dried up.
These liquids contained the essence of various Half-Saint and Saint-level great medicines.
Its effect can be used to heal injuries, even stronger than the Life Spring with a purity of six percent.
“Its effect is very good and can be used as a recovery resource.”
As Jun Wuxie spoke, he directly took out two spatial containers and filled them with the medicinal liquid, half for him and half for Mu Yunxi.
After Mu Yunxi accepted the medicinal liquid, her face turned slightly red, and she said, “You can only use it yourself, you're not allowed to give it to anyone else!”
“Why?”
Jun Wuxie was stunned.
“What do you think!” Mu Yunxi said with some shyness and annoyance, “We soaked in it for a full seven days. Even if it's not our bathwater, it's probably close to it…”
Jun Wuxie: … …
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Mu Yunxi was right, this spiritual liquid really couldn't be given to others; only they could use it themselves.
Boom!
Suddenly, the wooden boat shook violently, and the sound of turbulent waves came from outside.
He and Mu Yunxi hurriedly walked out of the cabin. Instantly, a strong wind blew, causing their clothes to flutter, their long hair to dance, and the muscles on their faces to slightly distort.
The gray-black river had thousands of layers of waves, tumbling endlessly, lifting the small boat to the crest of the waves, and then rapidly falling with the waves, shaking frantically, as if it would be annihilated in the raging waves at any moment.
“We can't see anything on either side of the river…”
Mu Yunxi exclaimed, her face not looking too good.
After the old man in the straw cloak died, everything returned to normal, and the scenery on both sides of the river was clearly visible.
But at this moment, suddenly, they couldn't see anything.
In the great river, for some unknown reason, such terrible giant waves appeared.
“We're probably in big trouble…”
Jun Wuxie's mood was heavy as he pulled Mu Yunxi behind him.
The scenery on both sides of the great river was no longer visible, turning into a blurry void.
At the end of the sky, the golden light that had always existed was now gone.
Only this great river with its raging winds and waves was flowing and roaring.
Jun Wuxie suddenly had a strange feeling.
Standing at the bow of the boat, facing the strong wind, it was as if he was walking in the river of time. The strong wind blowing on his body was like the breath of the years caressing his face, taking him into that bygone space-time.
Rumble!
Those river waters stirred up tens of millions of waves.
At the moment they bloomed, blurry images presented themselves like a revolving lantern.
He saw the vicissitudes of life, saw the passage of time, saw the rise and fall of civilizations, saw the evolution of history, saw many, many things, all the existences that had been annihilated in the river of time.
Gradually, Jun Wuxie felt as if he was about to disappear.
It was as if a mysterious force was erasing him from the years.
It seemed that no matter which space-time he existed in, that mysterious force would obliterate everything about him cleanly.
“Wuxie, what's wrong with you?”
Mu Yunxi's face was full of horror. The man in front of her, his body was gradually becoming transparent, becoming illusory.
It was as if he was just an illusion, never truly existing in this world.
“Wuxie!”
Mu Yunxi reached out to hug him, but his body was no longer substantial, and she hugged empty air.
She panicked, watching him become more and more illusory, at a loss.
Ding!
Suddenly, Jun Wuxie, who was about to disappear, had a flash of light on his finger.
A metal tag emitted a crisp sound, rushed out of his storage ring, and floated in front of him.
Instantly, his illusory body solidified a lot.
Rumble!
At the end of the great river ahead, the entire world seemed to crack open, and a boundless sea appeared in sight.
“Hmph, Xuanyuan, is that your expectation for the future?”
A cold voice came from the other side of the sea at the end.
Ding!
The metal tag trembled, and the two words “Xuanyuan” on it bloomed with dazzling divine light, shooting straight into that vast sea.
“Just a tag you left behind, and you want to stop this Emperor?”
That voice was full of confidence. Immediately, a finger pierced through the endless sea and sky, shattering that beam of light.
The finger pierced through, pierced through the waves of the great river, and pointed towards that tag.
Mu Yunxi was already unable to move. The supreme pressure made her soul almost collapse.
Jun Wuxie, whose body was in a special state, felt even more turbulent waves in his heart.
He had no doubt that even with the Xuanyuan Emperor's tag protecting him, that finger pointing at him would be enough to make him vanish into ashes!
“You don't know whether to live or die, daring to cross the river of time and space to kill a small cultivator!” A woman in white, whose clothes were whiter than snow, appeared out of thin air in front of Jun Wuxie, standing proudly at the bow of the boat.
The raging wind blew her black hair and skirt, constantly fluttering.
“Ye Qingxue!”
Jun Wuxie shouted.
This time, he wasn't as confident in her as he had been in the past.
The enemy he was facing this time was beyond recognition and imagination. It was an existence at the Emperor Realm!
His heart trembled slightly, afraid that she would be injured because of this.
“Military Saint?”
Mu Yunxi was dazed. Although she didn't know what kind of enemy she was facing,
she could be sure that it was an existence far beyond the Half-Saint Realm.
Military Saint, what does it mean that she suddenly appeared here?
Could it be that she is also an existence far beyond the Half-Saint Realm?
“Hmm?” A surprised voice came from the other side of the sea at the end of the long river: “An Emperor Realm that has almost exhausted its origin?”
Immediately, that voice laughed coldly: “Even you in your prime would have difficulty stopping this Emperor, let alone in such a incomplete state. Overestimating yourself!”
That finger continued to point forward.
“Even if only a trace of the origin remains, if you don't run, it's easy to kill a Great Emperor.”
Ye Qingxue said indifferently, confidently and forcefully.
She went towards that finger, and the military talismans that jumped around her body gathered into a long river of military talismans, like a sharp sword, rushing forward.
With a bang!
The sword's edge collided with the fingertip. In an instant, a drop of blood fell.
That finger seemed to be frightened and instantly retracted.
Emperor-level existences are indestructible. The initial confrontation resulted in bloodshed, which was no small matter for people of this level.
“Today, since you dare to cross the river of time and space to attack, I will definitely make you regret it!”
Ye Qingxue's voice was cold and decisive. With a wave of her hand, the blood that dripped from that finger instantly flew to Jun Wuxie and settled in the void.
Jun Wuxie looked at the blood in front of him, and his pupils shrank violently.
The blood was crimson and crystal clear, and it seemed to contain endless universes evolving within it. The energy contained within was so terrifying that it made people tremble.
Although Ye Qingxue had sealed all the energy, it still made him feel frightened.
Rumble!
In the long river, on the giant waves, Ye Qingxue's white clothes were whiter than snow, and her crystal-clear jade feet stepped on the waves, and she quickly arrived at the end of the long river.
She stepped into that space-time, standing above the vast ocean, and the military talismans that formed the sword river rushed towards the other side of the sea.
A earth-shattering roar erupted on the opposite side, as well as a sound of shock and anger.
Jun Wuxie saw a bloody body rushing out, shattering the ancient space-time with one punch and cutting off the years.
That person took the opportunity to plunge into the vast ocean.
Clang!
The military talismans buzzed, slashing out the light of order, stabilizing the ancient space-time and continuing the traces of the broken years.
Ye Qingxue overlooked that ocean and said coldly, “Do you think you can survive by hiding in the endless sea of universes?”
“Who are you? Could it be a character who appeared only in later generations? Impossible, how could such a level of existence appear in later generations! You are very strong. If it were you in your prime, killing me would be just a snap of your fingers, but it is a pity that you are very weak now, and it may not be so easy to kill me!”
“I am in the endless sea of universes, you can come if you want! You must be clear that every drop of water here contains an endless universe. How many living beings will our battle aftermath destroy, hahahaha!”
Ding!
Thousands of military talismans trembled, condensing frantically, turning into a sword, and then the sword condensed into a ray of light, and swished into the sea of universes.
Immediately, a scream came from the depths of the sea of universes, extremely shrill, causing the sea of universes to set off monstrous waves.
“You dare to cut off my origin, damn you! When this Emperor recovers, I will definitely settle the score with you! And that ant you are protecting, when this Emperor wakes up from his slumber, it will be his death!”
That voice was weak and full of anger.
Ye Qingxue stood above the sea of universes, and the sword condensed by the military talisman flew back, dripping with a lot of blood.
She swept all the blood with her bare hands and collected it all.
She overlooked the sea of universes and watched for a long time before turning to leave.
The moment she stepped out of that space, the sea of universes disappeared, and that space-time disappeared with it.
In the long river, the waves subsided.
She came stepping on the river surface, as beautiful as Luoshen, making people suffocate.
No.
Jun Wuxie immediately denied such an idea. Although Luoshen was beautiful, she was far from being comparable to her and was not at the same level at all.
At that moment, he realized that his body had somehow returned to its normal state, no longer ethereal.
"Wuxie!"
Mu Yunxi, still shaken, tightly grasped his hand.
But Jun Wuxie's thoughts were entirely on Ye Qingxue.
Waiting for her to return to the bow of the boat, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but ask, "Are you alright?"
Ye Qingxue shook her head, put away the drop of blood, and looked coldly at the metal牌子 floating in front of Jun Wuxie, saying, "You actually used me."
Her voice was very cold.
Ah?
Jun Wuxie was a little confused, thinking she was talking about him, but then he immediately realized.
She seemed to be talking to the牌子?
"It was a last resort."
The majestic voice of Emperor Xuanyuan came from inside the metal牌子, but this time, it sounded somewhat guilty.
"There's no need to waste words. Since you predicted that I would take action to severely injure that person today in the future, you must have seen something back then. I want to know what exactly you saw, about my affairs."
After she finished speaking, she grabbed the metal牌子 in her hand, and then disappeared from Jun Wuxie and Mu Yunxi's sight.
"Wuxie, Martial Sage she..."
Mu Yunxi stared blankly at Jun Wuxie.
Jun Wuxie gently shook his head and said, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Also, don't mention how strong she is to others. Just treat her as the Martial Sage you previously knew."
"I won't tell anyone. Tell me, why did that guy who was seriously injured by the Martial Sage want to kill you?"
Mu Yunxi was completely bewildered by what she had seen and heard today.
"I'm afraid I have to ask Xuanyuan, the坑帝! He and that person are enemies, and they are both watching each other. That person might have thought that I was the successor that Xuanyuan, the坑帝, was looking for in the future, in order to join forces against him in the future, so he ran to the future to kill me?"
Jun Wuxie said this, but he vaguely felt that things were not that simple.
Did that Emperor-level powerhouse really take action just because he mistakenly thought that he was the successor of Xuanyuan, the坑帝?
"Fortunately, that person is seriously injured and I don't know how long he will be asleep. He shouldn't have woken up in this era, otherwise he would have attacked you long ago..."
Mu Yunxi felt terrified when she thought about it. That kind of existence was too terrifying, there was nowhere to hide and no way to resist.
"It shouldn't be that simple. If he could attack casually, I'm afraid he wouldn't have waited until we were on this river to take action."
Jun Wuxie didn't agree. Although that was an Emperor-level powerhouse, it shouldn't be so easy to take action.
Although the level of the universe he lived in was low, it had produced a figure like Xuanyuan, the坑帝.
This universe must have the Emperor-level order he laid down.
