Chapter 534 279: Breaking Through to Tier 12 Life

'Reverse the past, face the future... What does that mean?!'

Wang Xiao's eyes glinted faintly.

He knew that after obtaining a Time Flower, everyone received different information based on their own experiences.

By using this information after coming into contact with the River of Time, one could grasp its true meaning.

This would allow them to transcend the River of Time and achieve the state of a Tier Twelve Life.

It was a trial that must be overcome.

'Now that I have the Time Flower, I can go to the Boundary Land and make contact with the true River of Time!'

Wang Xiao mused internally.

The River of Time he was currently in contact with inside the Microcosm was the vanished River of Time from the previous cosmos.

It could not help him achieve the state of a Tier Twelve Life.

Only by truly coming into contact with the River of Time of the current cosmos in the Boundary Land could he grasp its true meaning.

And, by doing so, transcend the River of Time.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, is there anything I can help you with?!"

Anvira couldn't help but ask, seeing Wang Xiao's dazed expression.

Since she had already lost the Time Flower, her natural course of action was to build a good relationship with Wang Xiao.

After all, she knew that Wang Xiao could easily kill two experts of the same tier, even while being only at Tier Eleven himself.

Barring any accidents, he had a very high chance of breaking through to become a Tier Twelve Life.

Wang Xiao said calmly,

"That won't be necessary. I am grateful for the Time Flower. Let's meet again another day!"

Sensing Wang Xiao's goodwill, joy bloomed in Anvira's heart.

"In that case, I wish Fellow Daoist Wang a smooth breakthrough to become a Tier Twelve Life."

Wang Xiao nodded.

"I hope your good wishes come true."

He didn't linger. With a flash, his figure shot toward the Boundary Land.

The so-called Boundary Land was a place where countless Rivers of Time converged.

The entire cosmos did not contain just a single River of Time.

Rather, there were countless different Rivers of Time, spreading across innumerable starry skies.

This was why the flow of time varied between the different starry skies and Great Dao Relics.

However, although there were thousands of Rivers of Time, they were all fundamentally the same.

As long as one could make contact with one of them and grasp its essence, they could transcend the River of Time and become a Tier Twelve Life.

This was because every River of Time was intertwined with the past, present, and future, making them essentially no different from one another.

It was like cars—though each one is different, their basic function remains the same.

WHOOSH!

Wang Xiao's figure transformed into a streak of light, flying toward the Boundary Land at an incredible speed.

His speed was so immense that he crossed one starry sky after another in the blink of an eye.

Along the way, he encountered several more 'Wandering Souls' like the ones clad in Golden Armor he'd seen before.

However, these 'Wandering Souls' were naturally no match for him and were easily defeated.

Once a 'Wandering Soul' was defeated, its lingering obsession would dissipate, and it would merge completely into the vanished River of Time, never to appear again.

In a way, Wang Xiao had helped them find true release.

And so, after a journey that had its share of thrills but no real danger, Wang Xiao finally arrived at the Boundary Land a month later.

This Boundary Land was said to be the place where countless Rivers of Time converged.

In reality, however, it stretched for thousands of light-years, resembling a galaxy that pulsed with waves of light.

Without the Time Flower, one could not touch the River of Time even after entering the Boundary Land.

Instead, they would be randomly transported to another starry sky.

Gazing at the galaxy-like River of Time before him, Wang Xiao circulated the Power of Qi within his body and directly activated the Time Flower.

The next moment, the Time Flower began to emit a faint light that completely enveloped Wang Xiao.

Then, this light continuously spread outward, forming a bridge that connected to the River of Time ahead.

The next moment, Wang Xiao saw countless Rivers of Time appearing before him like streams of flowing light.

These Rivers of Time converged, forming what looked like a vortex at their center.

The vortex spanned several light-years and seemed capable of devouring everything.

Anything caught within it would be dissolved and disintegrated.

Not even a Tier Eleven Life would be spared.

'So this is the power of time... It's truly terrifying!'

Enveloped by the Time Flower, Wang Xiao clearly saw the River of Time manifest before his very eyes for the first time.

Though it was an unknown number of light-years away, it felt as if it were right before him.

Or perhaps, in the face of the River of Time, concepts like Time and Space had lost all meaning.

If you could touch it and feel it, then that time was real.

'Reverse the past, face the future... Only by entering this Boundary Land of the River of Time can I understand what it means.'

'At the same time, this is my chance to break through and become a Tier Twelve Life!'

Wang Xiao let out a breath. The River of Destiny within him surged once more, connecting to the Time Flower.

The next moment, Wang Xiao felt himself uncontrollably step onto the bridge formed by the Time Flower's light.

The bridge carried him across infinite space and time, past countless invisible barriers, and brought him before the River of Time.

Wang Xiao could clearly see a stream of images flowing within the River of Time.

Within the River of Time, these images formed into countless grains of sand, each emitting a faint light.

Immediately after, Wang Xiao felt the innumerable grains of sand begin to churn, forming a vortex that pulled him right in.

He felt as if he were drowning; he could no longer use any of the power in his body.

He could only follow the vortex, spinning endlessly.

Then, his entire body became weightless, and his consciousness began to fade.

At that moment, Wang Xiao couldn't even connect to the Book of Space-Time to enter the Cultivation Land.
