Chapter 1678 - 235: Black and White

Chapter 1678: Chapter 235: Black and White

The end of the River of Destiny.

Outside the dark zone named "Destruction," a faint golden light shimmered.

Three figures stood not far away.

Zhao Chunyang, Xiao Yaozi, Zen Master.

These three could be said to be the strongest Seekers naturally born in this world after the Great Tribulation!

Even with the obstruction of the Annihilation Tribulation, they still comprehended the power of "Origin," reaching the deepest part of this River of Destiny.

However, at this moment, the three of them stopped in their tracks.

"Rumble."

Within the dark zone, two immense forces intertwined, forming a mass of shadows.

The shadow seemed to be a towering giant tree.

Every shake of its branches released a large amount of pure white vapor.

This is the true Heavenly Human Power!

At the junction of the two Rivers of Destiny...

Xie Xuanyi and Lu Yuzhen broke through the shackles together, completing the final ascent, both reaching the "Heavenly Human Realm."

Currently, these two forces are entangled and inseparable, and the pressure they release surpasses the Rule Power of the River of Destiny.

Even these three cannot get close, only able to watch silently.

"Xuanyi..."

Zhao Chunyang gazed at the scene, looking worried.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

From the moment he entered the River of Destiny, he started the long pursuit of Lu Yuzhen... In this world, the Paper Taoist is not suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, able to traverse freely, which means he can appear at different points in the River of Destiny.

Zhao Chunyang, Xiao Yaozi, Zen Master, other strongest individuals in this river.

All are fighting against this Paperman Taoist!

It was just that, "just now," Lu Yuzhen suddenly disappeared.

At all time points, his figure was gone.

Zhao Chunyang knew.

This scene is not a good sign.

This means... Lu Yuzhen has escaped "chaotic crossing," appearing uniquely in this river.

...

...

"Mr. Xie is fighting with him."

The Zen Master observed the scene, speaking with a complex expression: "Indeed... There is only one way to transcend the Yang God."

For a thousand years,

Countless geniuses and heroes have tried every possible method.

All ended in failure.

To become a Heavenly Human, one must break through the heavens and earth.

Engaging in combat with the strongest is not enough.

Finding the end of the River of Destiny and breaking this river... this is the true way to break through.

Xie Xuanyi did it.

Lu Yuzhen did it too.

The moment the two jumped into the river, the Yang God was no longer the limit.

Only by throwing oneself into the Annihilation Tribulation, fearless of death and Dao disappearing, can there be a chance to break through the great limitation, reaching the pinnacle of sublimation!

"The battle between these Heavenly Humans seems more peaceful than I imagined."

Xiao Yaozi squinted his eyes.

He strained to see, only finding shadows, seeing no other movements.

"Some battles create a thunderous presence in the silence."

The Zen Master spoke softly: "Perhaps they have already gone a thousand years back, attacking each other on the level of causality."

"Is this why you asked me to borrow the talisman?"

Xiao Yaozi said with hands behind his back.

Before the tribulation descended, the Zen Master had a feeling, leaving behind instructions.

He returned to the Taoist sect, purposefully borrowing a talisman from Deng Baiyi... In truth, Xiao Yaozi also didn’t quite understand what role the most basic "Purity Talisman" of the Taoist sect would have in this level of battle. But he trusted the Zen Master, so he did as told.

Just moments before,

He cast this talisman into the River of Destiny, and the talisman paper was instantly swallowed and torn apart by the shadows.

Of course...

What was cast into the end of the river was not just a talisman.

The three Sect Leaders all cast their Divine Skills into the forbidden zone.

In that river named "Destruction."

Divine Skills or items, all turn to ashes.

Like a clay ox entering the sea, swallowed up in an instant.

In the Zen Master’s words,

These things are all related to "causality," just cast them, that’s sowing the cause, and next... we must wait for the "effect."

"What will happen next?"

Xiao Yaozi looked serious.

"I don’t know either,"

The Zen Master chuckled bitterly, placing his palms together in front of his chest: "Before passing, Junior Brother Tanluan, through Karma Dao, predicted a revelation... I saw a golden ship accompanied by a green scroll drifting, wandering above the North Sea. The cause of this golden ship, intertwined with the effect of the green scroll, indistinguishably relates to this scene."

The Dao in this world is always thus.

With Yin, there is Yang.

With birth, there is destruction.

Causality interlocks, with no clear distinction.

Lu Yuzhen wishes to achieve Heavenly Human; he needs Xie Xuanyi... Likewise, Xie Xuanyi wants to break through, and he cannot do it without Lu Yuzhen.

Both are now in the forbidden zone of the River of Destiny.

Dao and Dao fused, difficult to separate, hard to abandon.

After a pause.

The Zen Master earnestly declared: "I think this battle between Mr. Xie and Lu Yuzhen is likely a battle of causality. What we outsiders can do is nothing more than using outside tricks to provide a reminder or two. If Mr. Xie gets lost in this sea of suffering lasting millions of years, being able to see a glimmer of enlightenment is like grasping an anchor point."

"An anchor point..."

Zhao Chunyang suddenly spoke, asking a critical question: "So, are they still in the state of Divine Travel?"

"Naturally."

The Zen Master pondered for a moment and said: "Since they are within the River, it counts as Divine Travel."

If they cross into the past, it is considered Divine Travel.

Then traveling to a thousand years ago, proving the Great Dao, is naturally also Divine Travel.

"A Divine Traveler should only have the soul."

Zhao Chunyang asked again: "Why do I sense the presence of the Flesh Body?"

Upon hearing this.

The Zen Master was startled.

"This..."

The Zen Master focused his gaze, and within the pitch-black gloom covering the River of Destiny, a Flesh Body unexpectedly appeared!

However.

It was the Flesh Body of the Paper Taoist.

Countless drifting Paper Snow, under a mysterious power, slowly gathered in the darkness and condensed into flesh and blood within the River of Destruction!

"Lu Yuzhen has transcended!"

Xiao Yaozi exclaimed in shock.

Divine Travelers’ flesh bodies retreat to the void, while their souls wander the River.

But... once transcendence is achieved, the Rules of the Great Dao of this world can no longer restrain them.

Xiao Yaozi’s expression became exceedingly grim: "Can this realm even be considered Heavenly Human?"

For this era’s Great Divine Ability Users.

The biggest trouble in suppressing realms is the Heavenly Dao.

If there wasn’t the Heavenly Dao’s suppression.

The three of them would all be Heavenly Humans and quite top-tier at that.

But now—

Lu Yuzhen has clearly surpassed the three of them.

Once he breaks through the limits in the Annihilation Tribulation, could he not touch... Above Heavenly Human?

"..."

Zhao Chunyang remained silent.

"Great Tribulation."

The Zen Master said heavily, murmuring: "It truly is the Great Tribulation."

In his view.

For both Xie Xuanyi and Lu Yuzhen to achieve Heavenly Human is already a miracle.

Should Lu Yuzhen advance further to reach Above Heavenly Human...

Then Mr. Xie would be in grave danger.

At this moment.

The shadow-like tree gradually unfolded.

"Immortal Tree."

Xiao Yaozi gritted his teeth, recognized the shadow sheltering the two people.

An Immortal Tree spread its shade in the Annihilation Tribulation.

Furthermore.

Every tremor of the tree’s shade emanated a strong life force with pure white vapor.

"...And the Undying Spring."

These are the world’s top two Supreme Treasures, nearly vanished after the Great Tribulation.

These two treasures were originally Xie Xuanyi’s Creation.

But at this moment, the Immortal Tree and the Undying Spring were shrouded in Paper Snow.

"Rustling."

The tree shade swayed.

Lu Yuzhen’s figure was condensing under the Immortal Tree.

"This is bad."

The Zen Master murmured: "Mr. Xie’s ’Undying Spring’ and ’Immortal Tree’... how did they end up in Lu Yuzhen’s possession..."

He did not know what happened during the Annihilation Tribulation.

But anyone with keen eyes could see that the Immortal Tree and the Undying Spring... are now under the control of the Paperman Taoist!

With this vast infusion of life force.

Lu Yuzhen’s form became clearer bit by bit.

He gradually formed flesh and blood, transcending the River.

"Swish!"

Zhao Chunyang suddenly moved.

Without saying a word, he directly activated the Sword Origin River, preparing to charge into the Annihilation Forbidden Zone with a stern expression.

"Brother Chunyang... What are you planning to do?"

Xiao Yaozi hurriedly stepped in front, blocking him.

"Naturally, I’m going to risk my life!"

Zhao Chunyang’s face was expressionless, without hesitation: "How can I sit idly by and watch Xuanyi suffer calamity?"

He did not care if stepping into this forbidden zone would lead to his soul’s annihilation.

Nor did he care that Lu Yuzhen had already reached Above Heavenly Human.

He cared only about one thing.

Whether his disciple could survive.

"Master Zhao."

At that moment, the Zen Master spoke again.

He stared at the end of the River, his voice raspy: "Things seem... different from what we imagined."

Looking on.

Within the dark River, a second Flesh Body gradually emerged...

Lu Yuzhen is white.

That figure is black.
