The End of All Roads
"I have traversed the vast wilderness, crossed the Star River, and reigned supreme and invincible in the White Mist Era!"
"Throughout the ninety million years of history, who is my enemy? Loneliness, oh loneliness, woof woof woof!"
At that moment, the big black dog was incredibly arrogant.
Full of vigor and high spirits!
But then, the Ancient Desolate giant dog, seemingly born from the passage of time, suddenly slapped the big black dog on the head with its paw, its eyes gleaming, and said:
"Woof! This Emperor 'm here to help you fight, and you're stealing my thunder?"
The big black dog suddenly felt indignant. Damn it, yesterday's version of itself was stronger than its current version...
I guess I'll just have to put up with it!
"Stop talking, this this Emperor's Flame won't burn for long. Hurry up and kill this little caterpillar."
The big black dog spoke.
The Ancient Desolate giant dog then looked at the gray mist Spacetime Worm, its dog eyes filled with disdain, and said:
"Too weak."
After saying that, it raised its paw, and the yellow smoke around the big black dog suddenly drifted gently past the gray mist insect.
"Come, come, don't say this Emperor bullying you. This Emperor 'll choose your strongest realm and kill you!"
The Ancient Desolate, gigantic dog exudes an imposing aura.
Upon hearing this, the gray mist insect paused for a moment, then grinned maliciously:
"You're asking for it!"
Its antennae suddenly twitched.
Instantly, countless time-space scenes appeared around the gray mist Spacetime Worm.
That was the life of Spacetime Worm.
It was born in the gray fog.
It feeds on the gray fog and continues to grow.
It once reached its peak amidst the endless gray fog, becoming one of the strongest beings in the Gray Mist World!
It participated in a fierce battle, breaching a city shrouded in white mist and engulfing everything in its gray fog.
It once annihilated countless galaxies and participated in a horrific assassination.
Finally, the gray fog worm's antennae twitched.
This moment.
It was as if another time and space were descending, as if another world was reappearing, carrying an even more terrifying secret power, with thick gray fog emerging from the phantom of time and space.
"Not good!"
The big black dog was startled and said:
"This blister beetle... what it plucked from the years was not a shadow... but a piece of time and space?"
It looked rather ugly in the dog's eyes.
I was careless...
"I am one of the progenitors of the Spacetime Worm, wielding the Dao of Time and Space..."
The Gray Mist Spacetime Worm let out a ferocious laugh and said:
"Let you lowly white mist creatures experience the darkest moment in prehistoric times!"
"So what if it's just a dog? All the creatures of the gray mist in this spacetime are extremely powerful. Even if all ten White Mist Venerables Ten Spirits came... they would only perish!"
As it spoke, that space-time finally emerged.
This is a world of gray fog, vast as the sea, with undulating waves. In the gray fog, countless gray-brown stone chairs stand between heaven and earth.
On each of those gray-brown stone chairs sat a creature shrouded in gray mist.
Even shrouded in gray mist, that terrifying aura almost crushed the entire universe!
"Downstream of time... that's interesting..."
A being of gray mist slowly spoke.
"It's actually this dog. Five Ancestral-level beings hunted it back then, and it killed three of them... It has actually reached this level."
"As time flows downstream, why do I sense an irreversible cause and effect, an ineffable trend...? What is orchestrating this?"
Many of the gray mist creatures spoke up.
One of the gray mist creatures stood up from the stone chair, the gray mist dissipated, revealing its true form.
It was a gigantic Spacetime Worm, its tentacles seemingly piercing through countless worlds, utterly terrifying.
It looked at the Spacetime Worm in the Yellow Springs Land.
"My future self was actually killed like this?!"
This Spacetime Worm was extremely alarmed and enraged.
It was none other than the peak state of this Spacetime Worm from the Yellow Springs Land.
Ancestor of Insects!
"Gentlemen... lend me your strength, annihilate this formidable enemy, and I will return!"
The Spacetime Worm in the Yellow Springs Land cried out.
"We must take action, regardless of the cause and effect, to annihilate the white mist; this is our mission."
Within that Gray Mist World, countless powerful figures spoke, rising to their feet amidst a dense, towering gray fog.
"Can you handle it?...?"
The big black dog got a little scared when it saw this!
This Spacetime Worm is practically cheating; it actually chose a different spacetime!
In the prehistoric era, during the peak of the Spacetime Worm, how many supreme beings must have existed in that spacetime?
It should be known that those supreme powerhouses were all incredibly terrifying. They had created the Era of Calamity, fought fiercely against the Ten Spirits, the Ten Venerables, Ten Medicines, and even the Vermilion Bird, the Pegasus, the Nine Revolutions Treasure Bamboo, and the Heavenly Wolf had all perished in battle.
Now, they are coming in at their peak.
Of the Ten Spirits, only the Ancient Desolate giant dog stood against it.
"Woof! You have no Martial Virtue... this Emperor 'll bite you to death!"
The Ancient Desolate giant dog barked loudly and pounced on the group of gray mist creatures.
A great war broke out.
Annihilation, explosion, spacetime distortion, cataclysm.
It was a battle beyond dimensions, transcending the mortal realm. Jiang Li, Lin Jiuzheng, and the others could barely discern the trajectory of the battle.
However, they could see that the number of gray fog creatures in that spacetime was increasing.
Endless.
The Ancient Desolate giant dog was incredibly ferocious, managing to kill four or five Ancestral-level Gray Mist creatures in succession. However, it was only one dog, yet it was facing the entire Gray Mist World of that space-time.
"This Emperor is about to crash... woof woof!"
The Ancient Desolate giant dog immediately prepared to retreat.
Upon seeing this, the big black dog in the Yellow Springs Land became anxious. It gritted its teeth and said:
"Let's give it our all!"
With a flick of its claws, yellow smoke instantly enveloped Jiang Li, Lin Jiuzheng, Wu Dade, Hei Heibai, the tortoise, and others!
In an instant!
Lin Jiuzheng he had fallen into a time warp.
A series of images rushed towards me.
A young boy, holding Peachwood Sword, is learning to draw talismans.
A young man, all alone, charged into the ghostly mist, wiping out everything in his path!
A celestial master, using the sun, moon, and stars as his brush and the endless universe as his ink, drew an unparalleled talisman to suppress an entire era!
A peerless master embarked on a blood-stained path, using blood as a talisman to bombard a strange burial pit, only to fall into it in the end...
Lin Jiuzheng something and a thought arose in his mind.
In an instant, a supreme celestial master walked out of time and space.
He treads upon the stars, his black robes flutter in the wind, and his brows seem to hold boundless brilliance.
Upon entering this space-time, he merely glanced at it, then seemed lost in thought. Suddenly, a Peachwood Sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed into the endless gray mist space-time.
That single sword strike unleashed a tremendous force!
The Ancient Desolate giant hound, besieged by endless gray mist creatures, was instantly relieved!
"Woof... The Divine Stick are here! Quick, kill them!"
The Ancient Desolate giant dog spoke to the celestial master.
The Celestial Master has already joined the fray!
In a daze, Wu Dade seemed to see another version of himself...
It was a chubby little boy who came out of some primitive, ancient tribe.
He was a determined young man who endured countless hardships, even being rolled on mountains of knives and plunged into boiling oil, yet his body remained undefeated!
That was a powerful being who could crush the heavens; wherever his fist struck, he shattered Star River. His physical body was invincible, unparalleled in the universe!
That was an unparalleled Supreme, standing tall in the heavens, facing the leak in the sky, using his physical body as stone to plug it, suppressing a generation of chaos!
"Is this the style of the Butt Emperor?"
Wu Dade was immediately excited and selected a particular shadow.
In the vastness of space and time, a Supreme, as large as a mountain, suddenly emerged, radiating an incomparably terrifying aura.
The Supreme had just stepped out when he looked up at the Gray Mist World.
At this moment, the Celestial Master and the Ancient Desolate Giant Dog were besieged by the entire Gray Mist World.
"You dare hit my dog?"
"Die!"
Enraged, the Supreme being plopped down on that world.
He was like a giant seal, crashing down and instantly obliterating several ancestral-level gray mist beings!
Seeing this, Wu Dade became even more excited and said with delight:
"Beneath my buttocks, I will suppress all enemies in the world!!"
Jiang Li seemed to have stepped into a world belonging to the game of chess.
The first scene depicts a chess prodigy playing against dozens of unparalleled chess masters in the Chaotic Ancient City, defeating the ultimate chess master in a single game, making him unmatched in the world!
The second image shows a young man sitting cross-legged under a precious tree, cultivating and evolving the endless way of chess!
The third image depicts a legendary chess Great Venerable, in an extremely ancient era, riding a giant tortoise and disappearing into a vast sea of white mist...
The fourth scene, however, is tainted with eeriness and misfortune, making it impossible to see clearly. All that can be seen are countless shattered chess pieces, tortoise shells collapsing between heaven and earth, and gray bloodstains wreaking havoc on the world...
"Return... to fight again!"
Jiang Li gave a low shout.
The shadow of time and space reappears; a powerful figure arrives riding a giant Xuanwu tortoise, with chess pieces gleaming across the sky!
"The entire spacetime... perfect!"
With a single thought, this chess master unleashed an endless chess domain upon the giant tortoise beneath his feet, seemingly enveloping the entire Gray Mist World.
In an instant, tens of thousands of gray mist creatures perished, slaughtered by the chess formation!
"Damn, in this timeline, is Senior Brother Jiang Li really that inhuman...?"
Even Lin Jiuzheng, watching this scene from the Yellow Springs Land, couldn't help but speak up.
"So... so you are the reincarnations of the Ten Venerables and Ten Spirits of the White Mist..."
In the Yellow Springs Land, the eyes of the gray-mist Spacetime Worm were filled with shock and rage.
These are the illusory images these people have plucked from the past; they are terrifying.
"In that life, you all perished. What can you do now?"
"You few think you can withstand an entire era? How laughable!"
It roared in anger!
In fact, it is not an exaggeration.
In that Gray Mist World, the Celestial Master, the Chess Venerable, the Buttocks Venerable, the Black Tortoise, and the Ancient Desolate Giant Dog were fighting fiercely, all displaying invincible prowess.
However, that was a time and space, an era.
Over a hundred Ancestral-level Gray Mist creatures appeared directly.
Moreover, the number is increasing.
"Even the lingering shadows of time dare to wreak havoc in the gray fog..."
Within the Gray Mist World, a terrifying giant claw emerged from some unknown secret place, pressing down!
That giant claw... seemed to be even stronger than the Celestial Master and the others.
However, at that very moment, a large Heibai hand reached directly into the Gray Mist World and struck the giant gray mist claw, which was instantly shattered.
In that Gray Mist World, a towering, upright man has emerged.
Beneath his feet Heibai intertwine, yin and yang transform, and life and death cycle endlessly!
"A powerful figure who has reached the end of the road... How dare you show your face? Aren't you afraid of causing a catastrophe?"
A voice shouted angrily.
But the man whose feet were on the Heibai lines said softly:
"Is that so? A catastrophe... I'm looking forward to it."
He raised his hand, dominating an entire era!
The entire Gray Mist World trembled.
One person can truly suppress an entire era!
However, in that Gray Mist World, endless gray roads suddenly appeared, stretching out from who-knows-where.
"You powerful one who has reached the end of the road, you have brought great calamity upon yourself... The creatures at the end of the Gray Mist Path will return!"
"You are all alone; you are destined to perish!"
A roaring voice could be heard!
The gray road trembled slightly, as if an invincible powerhouse was about to appear!
But the man with Heibai feet remained remarkably calm and said:
You will never know what lies at the end of every road.
His Heibai eyes seemed to be filled with a sense of wistfulness and admiration.
In the gray road, it seemed as if supreme beings were about to appear.
Those... were all beings that had reached the end of their lives.
The Gray Mist World trembled, as if it were about to collapse!
Every wisp of energy is no weaker than Heibai!
"These things... are they all coming out?"
Even the big black dog in the Yellow Springs Land was shocked by what it saw and said:
"This is getting out of hand... Should I try to extinguish the yellow smoke first...? The appearance of these things... could have a significant impact on the world!"
It chickened out!
However, the gray fog creatures that had reached the end of the road had just emerged.
Suddenly, all the gray roads collapsed at once!
Even the gray mist creatures that reached the end of the road were instantly annihilated!
At the end of all roads, a voice seemed to softly resound:
"A lifetime spent contemplating the path of worldly desires..."
The entire Gray Mist World was deathly silent.
Upon hearing this voice in the Yellow Springs Land, the big black dog was instantly overjoyed!
Lin Jiuzheng, Jiang Li, Wu Dade, and others were also shocked...
That sound...
And at this moment.
The Forty-Ninth Star Domain, the Great Ruin Realm, the Burial God Great Wilderness, Small Mountain Village.
In the Small Courtyard, under the peach tree, Li Fan calmly put down the ancient book in his hand, savoring the meaning of the poem.
"Throughout my life I've pondered the path of worldly desires, my sword hidden in my humble abode, my whereabouts concealed in mystery."
Wan Zhan claims he never wields a blade, for he was born with eyes that scorn all heroes...
... Originally, it was a realm of nothingness, with nothingness above and nothing below.
"No one comforts me, my heart is as cold as frost."
He raised his glass and took a small sip.
