Dark clouds blanketed the sky.
A streak of white light pierced the heavens.
In an instant, it crossed from one end of the horizon to the other.
Within the third layer of space, Jiang Ning's gaze was cold and fierce.
Just then.
The woman within the white light felt her brow twitch for no reason.
"This is bad!!" Alarm surged through her heart.
The wind ceased, and the clouds stilled.
Heaven and earth froze solid.
A golden rainbow suddenly emerged from the void.
Within that golden radiance, phantom waves could be seen surging.
"That's...!!!" Her heart lurched, and her pupils abruptly contracted.
In that instant, she clearly saw the phantom waves half-hidden within the golden rainbow.
It was a phantom of the River of Time.
Within those surging waves, every crest was a span of time.
Countless golden grains rose and sank within them, bearing the greatest power in the world.
At that moment, she understood.
The Prince of Luoshui had discerned her intentions ahead of time and moved to intercept and kill her.
Watching the golden rainbow ahead, seemingly slow yet impossibly fast.
Traces of regret welled up in her heart.
She regretted agreeing to that Immortal Lord's request and leaving her grotto-heaven.
The next moment.
She struggled with all her strength, trying to flee, trying to summon the supreme treasure that carried the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
But at that moment, in a world where space and time had all but stopped.
Every movement, every action, even the thoughts flowing through her mind became unbearably sluggish.
The phantom river unfurled, instantly stilling the wind and clouds across this stretch of heaven and earth. Even light halted in midair.
At that moment, the White-Robed Woman stared blankly at the golden rainbow spanning the void, watching the figure within it
