Chapter 568 Nine Great Dao Kings!

It was a complete deprivation at the very root!

No matter how overwhelming the World Honored One’s Buddha Power was, or how unparalleled his Daoist skills were, as long as the root of his power remained connected to Profound Yellow, and as long as his Dao Fruit had not truly and completely transcended to form a completely independent “New Profound Yellow” of its own—

Then, at this very moment, in front of Qi Yun—who had merged with the Profound Yellow Origin, controlled the myriad Daos of All Marvelous Heaven, harmonized his body with Profound Yellow, and ascended to the status of Profound Yellow Lord—it didn’t matter how thick those roots had grown or how vastly they covered.

With a single thought, the mother tree could sever his foundation and take back his nourishment!

“Let go!”

The World Honored One let out his first uncharacteristic roar of rage since the battle began. On his golden Buddha face, the trace of dark gold had already spread across more than half.

He could clearly feel that the Buddha Power he had painstakingly accumulated bit by bit over eternal ages, his comprehension of the Daoist Laws, and even the origin of his Dao Fruit were all irreversibly draining away!

It was the collapse of his Dao path; it was the dissolution of his very existence!

“Stop him! Attack together! This child has only just taken control of Profound Yellow, and his status is unstable. We absolutely cannot let him complete the deprivation!”

From within the pitch-black rift, the sharp shout of the Ultimate Dao King rang out once more.

He could tell that although Qi Yun’s status as Profound Yellow Lord was terrifying, it had seemingly just been achieved. His fusion with the Profound Yellow Origin Realm might not be flawlessly perfect, and his use of the ‘retracting’ power was still somewhat unfamiliar. This was their only chance!

“He wants to pick us off one by one! We absolutely cannot let him succeed!” In the dark red Blood Sea, the blood-colored Demon Deity that had been shattered and reformed let out a roar. All three of its heads turned toward Qi Yun simultaneously, and its six eyes shot out bursts of filthy blood light.

However, it did not rashly attack Qi Yun again. The invisible, oppressive domain of the Profound Yellow Lord still existed, filling it with dread.

Right at this moment!

RUMBLE!!!

An indescribably loud noise echoed from the depths of nothingness—endlessly high and far away, yet seemingly right at hand!

It was not the sound of space; it was the sound of time!

Above the entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm, the Celestial Vault, which was already broken and battered from the descent of the Dao Kings and the great battle, suddenly became blurry.

It was as if separated by a flowing, transparent water curtain carrying endless light and shadows.

Within the water curtain, one could faintly see the birth and annihilation of stars, the opening of realms and heavens and their collapse into the Returning Ruins, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the growth and withering of all living things…

Immediately after, a point of light lit up from the depths of that blurry water curtain.

The light rapidly expanded and spread, transforming into a mighty river whose magnificence, boundlessness, and greatness could not be described with words!

It was formed by the convergence of endless, constantly appearing and disappearing fragments of time, historical scrolls, tributaries of fate, and Cause and Effect Threads!

The river water presented a chaotic color. At times, it was crystal clear, reflecting the scenery of some ancient realm that had long been annihilated; at times, it was unbearably murky, churning with unknown fog and future variables; at times, it churned up dazzling waves, capturing the frozen moment of a glorious civilization; and at times, it spun into deep whirlpools, heralding the fall of a powerful existence.

The long river was silent, yet it contained all the sounds since the creation of heaven and earth.

It was formless and immaterial, yet it seemed heavier than any Divine Gold or immortal iron. The mere manifestation of its phantom alone caused the flow of time throughout the entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm to become chaotic and distorted!

In some areas, vegetation grew wildly and withered in an instant. In other areas, Cultivators suddenly aged and then reverted to their youth. Space itself let out overwhelmed groans under the washing of time!

The River of Heaven and Earth Years!

“The River of… Time…” In the distance, Desolate Halberd Splitting Sky True Monarch looked up at the chaotic long river spanning heaven and earth. Even with his untamed and arrogant disposition, he felt a tremor originating from his very soul at this moment.

In front of that long river, an individual’s power, even one as strong as a True Monarch, appeared so insignificant.

It was the ultimate mighty power that could wash away and bury everything.

“They’re crazy… Drawing out this river, even if they can suppress Qi Yun, they themselves will inevitably suffer the backlash of the years, and their Dao Fruits will become flawed…” True Monarch of No Dao Extreme Law muttered. The Dao Rhyme in his eyes fluctuated violently, as if he were deducing something.

“No, they aren’t crazy. This is the only, and the last, opportunity.” Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch tightened his grip on the Ancient Sword in his hand, his knuckles turning white.

He could feel that the Sword Dao he had painstakingly cultivated for eons exposed a sense of fragility in front of the phantom of the river of time, as if it could be washed away and forgotten at any moment.

His gaze was tightly locked onto the figure in the profound robe.

Now, all hope rested solely on Qi Yun.

“This bunch of lunatics…” Nine Revolutions Undying True Monarch parted his lips, wanting to laugh, only to find that it was difficult to even twitch the corners of his mouth.

The coercion of that river of years made his proud Undying Golden Body creak loudly, as if it had endured the rusting of eternal ages.

“It’s not enough!”

Just as the seven Dao Kings disregarded everything to Guide the River of Heaven and Earth Years, and the terrifyingly extreme mighty power of time slowly began to pour down and wash toward Qi Yun, the chaotic pillar of light, and the entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm…

A cold and resolute female voice suddenly rang out!

It was True Monarch Feng Xi!

At some unknown point, she had already broken free from part of the oppressive restraints of the Profound Yellow Lord. Although the flames around her body were still dim and her face was pale, there was a starlight-like gleam in her eyes—a desperate, all-or-nothing madness!

“Shen Yi! What are you still waiting for?! If you don’t return to your position now, then when?!

“Are you going to wait until his status is completely stabilized, reducing you and me, our every scheme, and all our waiting, into nothingness?!” True Monarch Feng Xi shouted sharply at True Monarch Shen Yi, her voice piercing.

True Monarch Shen Yi, who had been silent all this time with a constantly shifting expression, shuddered violently upon hearing this.
