After Chen Yi broke out of the encirclement, the System Hosts lost track of him.
The Rank 7 and Subordinate Rank 7 beings originally scattered throughout this region all headed toward the battlefield to surround Chen Yi.
The near-certain deathtrap thus revealed a turning point.
Huangfu Deyi sat atop a Black Dog.
The eye between the Black Dog's brows opened, searching for Chen Yi's location.
But it could not find him at all.
No aura remained.
No causality could be seen.
Unrestricted prophecy was basically unreliable against Celestials.
Using luck-based methods only invited backlash.
It gave them no chance whatsoever.
Huangfu Deyi stroked the dog beneath him. "Still haven't found him?"
The Black Dog, with a single eye between its brows, closed its eyes tiredly and nodded.
Its eyes could see the past and the future.
For the Black Dog, checking the past had always been as easy as eating and drinking, yet it was now extraordinarily difficult.
Even when it did not act directly upon Chen Yi.
This was not because Chen Yi had transcended the River of Time.
The true reason was precisely the opposite.
As everyone knew, those who entered Rank 7 through time could travel along the River of Time, heading upstream or downstream to reach the past and future.
But there was one prerequisite: there could be no other Rank 7 beings in the world you occupied.
Otherwise, one had to cross those boulders, increasing the difficulty by an unknown number of times.
And Chen Yi was even more domineering than an ordinary Rank 7.
Chen Yi's existence was so immense that it burdened even the River of Time.
With a casual grasp, he could seize time itself.
The River of Time, which stood at a higher level than time itself, could greatly influence ordinary
