The Immortal Dragon Divine Beast in the Thousand Demon Cave received the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp.
In an instant, a surge of pure energy erupted, feeding back to the main body, rushing towards the 360th acupoint for the final sprint.
Suddenly, a powerful energy surge burst forth from Xu Zhou’s body.
The 360th acupoint opened without any surprises.
With a thunderous roar, overwhelming power from the acupoint surged out of that portal, engulfing Xu Zhou’s entire body, undergoing a comprehensive cleansing.
This cleansing came with a hint of pain.
But Xu Zhou could withstand it!
Inside Xu Zhou, beams of light erupted, and all 360 acupoints lit up simultaneously.
A pure white lotus of the Dao blossomed gently, like the first snow of the world, pure and without a trace of impurity.
Upon the Dao lotus, twelve petals intertwined, each petal resembling flawless white jade, emitting a gentle and holy radiance, transcendent and unsullied.
Among the twelve Dao flowers, one petal had been dim, but as the 360th acupoint lit up, that dim Dao flower suddenly brightened.
It was like the final missing piece being completed, the Dao lotus trembled violently, bursting with light.
The twelve petals swayed, subtly forming the pattern of the Twelve Earthly Branches.
At the central stamen portion, the Yin Yang Fish Diagram seemed to come to life, with the Yin and Yang fish swimming.
A beam of light shot into the sky, resembling a great river.
At the same time, Xu Zhou’s consciousness suddenly burst out of his body and merged into that heavenly river, as if it were soaring to the nine heavens beyond.
“What’s happening, is my soul leaving my body??”
Xu Zhou’s consciousness floated upward constantly, looking at the rapidly receding ground, a look of confusion in his eyes.
Beneath his feet was a dazzling river, devoid of water, with an unknown composition, carrying Xu Zhou upwards.
The height grew ever higher.
Suddenly, like breaking through a thin membrane, the scenery before Xu Zhou changed abruptly.
A blood-red sea appeared in the sky, with ghastly and terrifying corpses floating, each body stretching thousands of meters long.
The most striking feature was the broken Moon floating above the sea surface.
The Moon was not the usual moon known, it was more akin to a gigantic eyeball, filled with blood veins, obscuring the sun and sky, floating over the blood sea.
“Is this the true sky?”
Xu Zhou had no time to be amazed as his consciousness, accompanied by the river, continued to soar into the sky.
Reaching ever higher.
Soon, Blue Star appeared beneath his feet.
He saw the entire expanse of Blue Star.
A colossal hand held Blue Star, and behind the hand, a vague, immense figure loomed.
Xu Zhou’s heart shook: “What is that?”
Blue Star was actually being held by a hand; how immense must the owner of that hand be?
What was called the Moon seemed to be the eyeball of that figure.
The floating sea of blood also belonged to that figure.
That figure seemed already dead, in a semi-kneeling posture, still holding up Blue Star even in death, with endless darkness behind it.
Xu Zhou was somewhat dazed, this scene was overwhelmingly awe-inspiring.
To hold up Blue Star in death, kneeling in this cold universe, who was that person and what had they gone through?
The height continued to rise.
The river shimmered brilliantly, and whether it was an illusion or not, worlds seemed to rise and fall within it, as Xu Zhou ascended along the river.
The speed grew faster and faster.
In the blink of an eye, the solar system appeared before him.
But Xu Zhou did not admire this beautiful sight; instead, he looked incredulously in a certain direction.
A gigantic and unimaginable finger seemed to transcend endless time and space, emanating an endless aura of darkness, pressing downward.
Without any sound, a planet on the edge of the solar system was pierced and plunged into oblivion.
The dark finger continued to press downward, this time targeting the sun, as if to pierce it.
Xu Zhou’s heart climbed into his throat; if the sun was pierced, what would become of Blue Star?
But before he could see more, the river’s speed suddenly increased, rapidly propelling him away from the solar system.
The speed grew faster and faster, blurring the surroundings.
He was traversing the universe, heading to some mysterious unknown.
Xu Zhou’s heart was unsettled, would the solar system really be destroyed?
Where did that dark finger come from?
Could he ever return?
Xu Zhou did not know why he saw these scenes, but the previous one was so realistically shocking, it felt as if it were happening right before his eyes.
At that moment, the river beneath him suddenly slowed down.
And Xu Zhou finally saw his surroundings clearly.
In the next instant, he was abruptly stunned.
Before him was a planet strikingly similar to Earth.
But Xu Zhou quickly realized, this was not Earth, there were still some differences.
Rather than Earth, it was more like…
Blue Star before extraordinary mutations!
“Why am I still on Blue Star?” Xu Zhou was bewildered.
He distinctly remembered that the river carried him very far, how was he still in the solar system now?
“This river…” Xu Zhou looked at the shimmering river beneath him, suddenly realizing something.
Could this be the River of Time?
He had read in some ancient texts about the River of Time.
In this world, there is a river that traverses not space, but time.
Of course, no one has seen this river, it exists only in fantasy.
