Baize Calls on the Three Pure Ones for Help, Forming a Pincer Movement

Deep in the River of Time, spacetime turbulence churned like boiling water. Five-colored Dao Rhyme, pitch-black demonic qi, and Jimie Buddha Light wildly intertwined and tore at one another in the void. Deafening roars echoed across the ages, and even the spacetime crystals left behind from the World Creation era trembled under the impact of that immense power, threatening to shatter and vanish at any moment.

Lin Yue wielded the Heaven Opening Axe Shadow, green-gold Power of Five Ways surging around him. Fine cracks covered his Chaos Dao Body, and nearly half of his Sage Origin had been spent. His desperate battle against the leader of the Chaos Remnants had already pushed him to his limits. That leader was the remnant soul of the Nightmare Demon God, who had commanded the Yin Demonic Great Dao among the Three Thousand Demon Gods. Though only thirty percent as powerful as in the Chaos era, he excelled at sinister illusions and concealing himself through spacetime. The Nightmare Soul-Eater Blade in his hand had been stained with the origins of countless Chaos Creatures. It could corrode souls and throw the Great Dao into disarray. Its repeated ambushes had nearly shattered Lin Yue's Sea of Consciousness. Without the Innate Soul Stabilizing Pearl firmly protecting his soul, he would likely have met his end already.

Su Qingyan, clad in a pale-gold gown woven from time, had spread her pale-gold Time Dao Rhyme into a thousand-zhang domain of temporal stillness. Yet she, too, was at the end of her strength. Five Peak Quasi-Saints from the Western Teachings watched for an opening nearby, holding the Jimie Lotus Platforms personally bestowed by Jieyin and Zhunti. They continuously unleashed Jimie Buddha Light against the temporal domain. Wherever the light passed, the Time Dao Rhyme crumbled, and the domain steadily shrank.
