The "speed" was so great that even the River of Time changed. The river that had originally flowed like water directly transformed into a river of light.
Endless streams of light flashed past, a spectacle millions upon millions of times more breathtaking than a vast river of stars.
Unfortunately, in the entire dimensional spacetime, there were scarcely any living beings capable of witnessing such a sight.
Not even Immortals could.
To enter this state of extreme speed within the River of Time required, at the very least, the fruition of an Eternal One.
If Immortals beneath Eternity forcibly entered this extreme-speed state, they would not perish on the spot, but the structure of their Dao Fruit would, in an instant, be scoured into the most primordial "immortal substance"—the most basic material used to construct an immortal Dao Fruit.
Once a Dao Fruit had been scoured into such a state, the time required to restore it was beyond imagination.
Only the Crown of the Supreme Saint, whose structure was incomparably resilient, could withstand such scouring even when only partially unfolded.
Although Zhao Cheng had obtained such a divine artifact long ago, his own power had been limited, and he had never been able to bring out its true effects.
Aside from its usual +1 special attack against the apocalypse, the only other time had been long ago, when he had used the Crown of the Supreme Saint to set Wuluo up, nearly causing Wuluo to die on the spot.
Only now, after perfecting the Ten Pillars and finally, more or less, taking his place upon the stage of dimensional spacetime, was he truly able to draw out even a fraction of this divine artifact's effects.
"Zhao Cheng, what do you think would happen if one day, all this light disappeared?!"
