Ye Xuan confronts the Time Elder, confiscating his Time Record and suspecting him of having ulterior motives. The Time Elder flees into the Yellow Dragon Realm, but Ye Xuan follows, revealing the Elder's true identity as the ancient "Butcher of All Ages." Despite the Elder's attempt to destroy a city and escape, Ye Xuan restores it and pursues him. The Elder's escape is ultimately cut off by massive Bronze Giant Gates and a terrifying Emperor Shadow.

"This is..."

The Old Man of Time saw that Emperor’s Shadow and instantly felt his scalp tingle.

That is...

The terrifying aura of the Undying Night Emperor.

At this very moment, it completely enveloped him, making the Old Man of Time feel the breath of death.

"How is this possible?"

The Old Man of Time couldn’t comprehend.

He clearly believed he had already escaped from that guy, so when did the opponent lay the ambush?

Could it have been before he entered the Yellow Dragon Realm, predicting he would appear here and setting a trap in advance?

That must be the only possibility!

Boom!

While the Old Man of Time was pondering, Ye Xuan’s Emperor’s Shadow descended with the force that could suppress All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, striking down with a palm.

The Old Man of Time felt tumultuous waves in his heart, leaving him no time to ponder why the Undying Night Emperor had inexplicably trapped him here.

"Time River!"

The Old Man of Time let out a low roar, spreading his arms wide.

The next moment.

A phantom Time River appeared out of thin air behind him, flowing quietly, carrying the essence of time.

History is often heavy.

And that heavy aura slowly emanated from the Time River.

All around, the Dao Laws began to slowly crumble at this moment.

Before the Time River.

It seemed that nothing could stop it.

Any attempt to block it would only lead to death.

This was the power of the Time River.

Those who go against time can only face death!

The wheel of history can’t be stopped by anyone!

That fearsome Time River unbelievably blocked the Emperor’s Shadow of the Undying Night Emperor.

The terrifying palm of the Emperor’s Shadow caused the heavens to collapse, the cosmos to shatter.

Yet, it couldn’t cross the Time River!

Seeing this, the Old Man of Time felt a bit relieved.

Although this guy was indeed the Undying Night Emperor, he was no longer the reckless and unrestrained Undying Night Emperor of the past.

The current Undying Night Emperor was merely someone who hadn’t proven himself as an Emperor.

If not for the presence of Heavenly Dao Suppression, he could crush this guy with just a finger!

Why would he be pushed to such extents?

In the end, this guy was merely basking in the glory of the era!

The fear in his heart stemmed from the terror of the Undying Night Emperor of the past!

Now...

Why fear him!?

Thinking of this, the Old Man of Time dispelled the fear in his heart, fully facing the enemy, unleashing terrifying strength.

The Time River bestowed the Old Man of Time with infinite power.

In every gesture and movement, the heavens shattered, time and space quaked!

And the Emperor’s Shadow’s actions were even more terrifying, every move seemingly a simple attack, but carried the power to destroy the heavens and earth, as if creating a world in the chaos!

Their battle was an epitome of shock!

If a Quasi-Emperor were present now, they would undoubtedly be shocked beyond measure by this battle.

Unfortunately, this battle was sealed by countless Bronze Giant Gates.

No one could witness the unprecedented battle inside, and not even a bit of Dao aura leaked out.

This battle seemed endless.

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed since the two began their duel.

The Emperor’s Shadow couldn’t contend with the Time River, naturally unable to deal with the Old Man of Time.

Despite the Old Man of Time’s fierce offensive, he was helpless before the invincible Emperor’s Shadow of Ye Xuan.

The situation seemed to have reached a stalemate.

During this period, the Old Man of Time attempted to reason with the Emperor’s Shadow.

But discovered that Ye Xuan simply ignored him.

This made the Old Man of Time somewhat suspicious.

What exactly was this guy up to?

The Old Man of Time also attempted to attack the Bronze Giant Gates.

But whenever a Bronze Giant Gate was broken, another would rise immediately.

After repeated attempts, the Old Man of Time could only give up.

However, the Old Man of Time knew that only by eliminating Ye Xuan could he possibly break through this bizarre Bronze Giant Gate.

Thus, he focused entirely on dealing with Ye Xuan’s Emperor’s Shadow.

Time continued to tick away.

Bronze Giant Gates sealed all in the void.

However, if one were to pull back their view, they would find that these Bronze Giant Gates all existed within an incomparably gigantic Bronze Giant Gate.

And this enormity stood alone amidst a vast chaos.

This is...

Chaotic Infinite Heaven!

One of Ye Xuan’s Three Thousand Heavenly Phenomena!

Existing within Ye Xuan’s world!

Panning out further, it was clear that this was entirely Ye Xuan’s world.

At this very moment.

Ye Xuan himself was sitting cross-legged in the dark cosmos, watching the Bronze Giant Gate in his world.

He was probing for the secrets of the Old Man of Time.

In fact.

The Old Man of Time’s escape.

And the Bronze Giant Gate and Emperor’s Shadow.

All were orchestrated by Ye Xuan.

After Ye Xuan acquired the Time Record made from the skin of the Old Man of Time, he began laying out his plans.

Unbeknownst to him, the Old Man of Time had already fallen into Ye Xuan’s scheme.

Back then, the Old Man of Time unknowingly found himself trapped in Ye Xuan’s world.

Although Ye Xuan’s world wasn’t inhabited by living beings, the presence of formidable sacred artifacts like the World Tree made Ye Xuan’s world far surpass those of other cultivators.

No one’s world could compare to Ye Xuan’s.

With just a thought, he could unfold his world.

And within the Primal Hongmeng Heaven, he evolved All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, naturally including the Yellow Dragon Realm.

Every act of the Old Man of Time was within Ye Xuan’s calculations.

When the Bronze Giant Gate descended, Ye Xuan used the Time Disk to accelerate the flow of time and space.

While it looked like the battle between Ye Xuan’s Emperor’s Shadow and the Old Man of Time had already lasted ten years.

In reality, only the time of one incense stick had passed in the outside world.

But the longer the Old Man of Time stayed inside, the more Ye Xuan could see.

He now had an answer.

Yet he wondered if there was more behind this answer.

"Is it the Black Sky Ancient Nether again..."

Ye Xuan’s black eyes were calm, as he murmured quietly.

He sensed the presence of the Black Sky Clan from the Old Man of Time.

Indeed.

Only the Black Sky Clan would love to meddle with causality.

The things recorded by the Old Man of Time in the Time Record from the Heavenly Dragon Era onwards were indeed rewriting the causality of the era.

But Ye Xuan was curious, as the Old Man of Time was an ancient being from Long River Hall, how could he be influenced by the Black Sky Clan?

Could the one intervening be the Governor of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, Black Sky Ancient Nether?

Perhaps only this person could wield such power.

What was the guy from Long River Hall doing?

To have someone under him interfered by the Black Sky Ancient Nether without knowing?

Or perhaps once the Old Man of Time started from the Heavenly Dragon Era, he never returned to Long River Hall?

Ye Xuan believed more in the latter.

Otherwise, there’s no explanation.

After all, that one from Long River Hall was quite extraordinary!

After watching for a while, Ye Xuan reached out his hand and wiped, the world before him vanished.

It was uncertain for now how deeply the Old Man of Time was affected by the Black Sky Ancient Nether, or if he had already become a seed planted by the Dou Tian Divine Domain in this realm.

These couldn’t be judged at the moment.

Might as well wait.

Wait for the Luotian Grand Jiao to officially begin.

He wanted to see the commotion from the Main World of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.

This time in the Luotian Grand Jiao, those who couldn’t resist showing themselves would surely be cut down.
