Chapter 526 - 275: Old Acquaintances Have Passed Away, The Starry Sky War

’Dimensional Strike!’

Wang Xiao carefully sensed the transformative power within him.

At this moment, his River of Destiny had already turned the highest-grade purple.

The instant his River of Destiny turned purple, he felt as though he had completely and utterly grasped the power of the entire Starry Sky.

Furthermore, he could sense the existence of the elusive River of Time with even greater clarity.

This River of Time crisscrossed the entire Starry Sky, omnipresent and all-encompassing.

Even his River of Destiny was contained within this River of Time.

With the boon from his purple River of Destiny, Wang Xiao could temporarily break free from the shackles of the River of Time and transcend the Starry Sky!

It was precisely this power of transcendence that granted him the ability to momentarily crush the entire Starry Sky.

The most direct application was a Dimensional Strike!

He could stand in a dimension beyond the Starry Sky and crush it from all directions.

This would force the Starry Sky to become two-dimensional!

In other words, it would lose its meaning of existence in reality.

It would become a painting, a memory, or any form of matter incapable of existing in this space-time!

In a way, this was to make the Starry Sky break free from the constraints of time and space itself!

This kind of Dimensional Strike was nearly impossible to resist for anyone unable to transcend the River of Time.

Unless one possessed a treasure like the Chaos Cyan Lotus, which could rival or even surpass a Tier Twelve Life.

’Unfortunately, I can only transcend for a short time. I don’t have the power to permanently transcend the River of Time and use Dimensional Strikes at will!’

Wang Xiao couldn’t help but shake his head.

He relied on his purple River of Destiny to transcend the River of Time that existed within the Starry Sky.

It was like a fish leaping out of the water; sooner or later, it had to fall back in.

Unless it could grow wings!

The breakthrough from Tier Eleven to Tier Twelve was the process of a fish growing wings!

To grow ’wings,’ one must understand the mysteries of the River of Time.

Why it could bind someone in the first place.

Otherwise, if you didn’t even understand the power that constrained you, how could you possibly talk about growing ’wings’ to break free from it?

’My River of Destiny has reached its limit. It’s time to go back and prepare for the upcoming Grand Trial of the Myriad Realms!’

With a flash, Wang Xiao flew off in the direction of Wuji Mountain.

In the past five hundred years, he had traveled through various starscapes undergoing Silent Extinction, using the power of the Book of Space-Time to absorb a great deal of fortune from the Chaos Silent Extinction Energy Groups!

That was how he managed to elevate his River of Destiny to its highest grade in less than a thousand years.

Otherwise, even after a billion or even ten billion years, he might not have been able to accomplish such a feat.

If Wang Xiao were to go all out now, especially with the Chaos Cyan Lotus, even a Tier Twelve Life might not be his match.

With his current strength, as long as he didn’t encounter a Tier Thirteen Life, he could pretty much do as he pleased in this Cosmos.

Tier Thirteen Life forms were among the most supreme powers, even within the Cosmos.

According to intelligence from Wuji Mountain, there were estimated to be no more than ten Tier Thirteen Life forms in the entire Cosmos.

Furthermore, Tier Thirteen was the highest Life Tier achievable within the Cosmos.

According to the old ancestor of Wuji Mountain, becoming a Tier Fourteen Life was only possible by entering the Unobservable Cosmos.

And the Unobservable Cosmos possessed a mysterious, great power.

Anyone who entered and later came out would forget everything about what was inside.

Therefore, to this day, no one had ever broken through to become a Tier Fourteen Life.

WHOOSH—

After his River of Destiny transformed, Wang Xiao’s speed increased by another huge margin.

In what felt like a single instant, he crossed a thousand starry skies!

He had already discovered that some starry skies shared a single River of Time.

Thus, the flow of time in these starry skies was the same.

As for starry skies with different rates of time, their Rivers of Time were not interconnected.

Within the Cosmos existed countless intersecting Rivers of Time.

However, the essence of these Rivers of Time was all the same.

As long as one could transcend one River of Time, they could easily transcend all the others as well.

This was also why Tier Twelve Life forms could roam freely across the Cosmos.

Because they already existed above the Rivers of Time.

Aside from a cosmic Grand Silent Extinction, nothing could trap or destroy them!

「Ten years later.」

Wang Xiao finally returned to the Starry Sky Sea governed by Wuji Mountain.

’I’ve been away from this part of the Starry Sky for eight hundred years. I wonder how Earth is doing.’

With a single step, Wang Xiao returned to the starry expanse containing Earth.

His Divine Thought surged, and he quickly located Earth within one of the star systems.

Now, Earth had been transformed into something else entirely.

Its exterior was covered by a defensive shield capable of repelling a Tier Ten Life.

Inside, there were swathes of high-tech buildings, various Grand Arrays, and puppets.

It looked nothing like it used to!

’Eight hundred years... so much has changed.’

Wang Xiao let out a breath.

He knew he had spent over eight hundred years in the Outer Starry Sky.

The flow of time in this region of space was no different from where he had been.

Eight hundred years had passed here as well.

Many of Wang Xiao’s relatives had already passed away!

Only some of their descendants remained.

Out of respect for Wang Xiao, the Supreme Federation took rather good care of these descendants.

Almost all of them held high-ranking positions in the Federation.

Even those with mediocre talents were guaranteed a comfortable life.

Wang Xiao didn’t have much to say about it.

Nor did he have any intention of meeting these descendants.
