Chapter 552 287: The End of the Cosmos, Transcendence

Wang Xiao memorized all the information transmitted by the Book of Space-Time, then swam towards the depths of the River of Time.

This search for the Tai Sui didn't involve much skill; one could only rely on the information provided by the Book of Space-Time and a bit of luck to find it.

This time, with the Book of Space-Time's guidance, Wang Xiao didn't waste much time.

After only about a year, he finally reached the depths of the River of Time.

BUZZ!

An intense ripple suddenly surged toward him.

In Wang Xiao's field of vision, creatures resembling strands of algae appeared one after another.

A glint flashed in his eyes, revealing a hint of joy:

'According to the information from the Book of Space-Time, if Time Algae appears, then a Tai Sui must be nearby!'

Wang Xiao delayed no further and swam toward the Time Algae.

The moment he neared the Time Algae, the strands of algae reached for him like grasping arms.

It was as if they wanted to keep him in the depths of the River of Time forever.

He was already prepared for this. The Power of Transcendence in his body surged violently.

Tens of billions of layers of the Power of Transcendence, like a scythe, swung toward the Time Algae.

Under Wang Xiao's Power of Transcendence, the Time Algae instantly crumbled and dissipated.

Wang Xiao immediately activated the Chaos Cyan Lotus, increasing his speed by another huge margin.

He was suddenly like a fish returned to the sea, his movements becoming incredibly agile.

In what seemed like an instant, he swam through an unknown measure of time.

The Time Algae became formless scenes of light, swirling around Wang Xiao's body.

「A few days later.」

Wang Xiao blasted through a patch of Time Algae, and a Sea of Light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

In the center of the Sea of Light, a mushroom-shaped plant bobbed up and down.

Ripples bloomed in circles around it, filled with a Power of Time even more profound than that of the River of Time itself!

'I've found it, the Tai Sui!'

Wang Xiao's eyes lit up as he stared at the plant before him.

He knew that this Tai Sui had gathered all the temporal essence of the River of Time since its birth.

By finding the Tai Sui, he could comprehend the mysteries of the River of Time.

This would in turn help him master the River of Time and become a Tier Thirteen Life!

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Xiao activated the Chaos Cyan Lotus and swam fiercely toward the Tai Sui.

The Tai Sui seemed close enough to touch, but was in reality a world away.

It took Wang Xiao a full year to finally get close to the Tai Sui.

SHH-SHH-SHH—

As Wang Xiao raised his hand and touched the Tai Sui, he heard the sound of a surging torrent from within it.

It was like a River of Time from antiquity, piercing through infinite ages, pouring into his body!

In that instant, he felt the entire world change.

Everything—past, present, and future—appeared before his eyes like a slideshow.

He could travel up the River of Time against its current, or travel down it with the flow.

The River of Time seemed to have become a part of his very body.

'The Tai Sui holds the deepest mysteries of the River of Time. As long as I can completely refine it, I will be able to fully master the River of Time and break through to become a Tier Thirteen Life!'

Wang Xiao felt the vast information and endless energy hidden within the Tai Sui, and his Heart Spirit became completely immersed.

The number of starry skies for his Dimensional Strike grew at a visible rate.

The seemingly endless River of Time also began to merge into Wang Xiao's body, bit by bit.

It was as if it was being infinitely compressed.

For the first time, Time itself had graduations, a scale, before Wang Xiao!

Wang Xiao was completely immersed, utterly forgetting the passage of time.

An unknown amount of time passed.

RUMBLE—

Suddenly, a sound that reverberated throughout the entire cosmos reached Wang Xiao's ears.

The sound was deafening, and his Heart Spirit wavered as he was jolted from his state of comprehension.

An aura of eternal time flowed around him.

The River of Time seemed to have become the very blood in his veins, flowing into his every cell.

At this moment, he had truly gained mastery over the River of Time!

In other words, he had broken through to become a Tier Thirteen Life!

There wasn't a huge difference between Tier Twelve and Tier Thirteen in and of themselves.

The main difference lay in one's mastery over the River of Time.

'I didn't expect this breakthrough to be so surprisingly smooth. It's as if some unseen force was helping me break through to become a Tier Thirteen Life.'

Wang Xiao circulated the Power of Time through his body once, his eyes flickering slightly.

He had already discovered that the power of the cosmic Silent Extinction had spread, destroying everything in the vicinity.

Everything had turned into Chaos Silent Extinction Energy Groups!

'My work here is done. Perhaps it's time to pay a visit to the Unobservable Cosmos!'

Wang Xiao had now broken through to become a Tier Thirteen Life.

With the cosmic Silent Extinction imminent, he naturally couldn't remain in this part of the starry sky.

After all—

If he didn't reach the Transcendence Realm of a Tier Fourteen Life, he would be powerless to resist the cosmic Silent Extinction!

RUMBLE!

The violent sound came again.

Wang Xiao could already feel the aura of time being annihilated by that immense power.

Without a word, he took out the Star Crystal he had obtained from the Cosmic Star and immediately activated it.

BUZZ!

Endless Power of Silent Extinction suddenly surged into the Cosmic Star Crystal.

This Power of Silent Extinction was so immense that it instantly caused the Cosmic Star Crystal to erupt in brilliant light.

With his previous experience, Wang Xiao activated the Cosmic Star Crystal with practiced ease this time.

RUMBLE—

In an instant, a gateway suddenly appeared before him.
