Yang Huai glanced at Yan Ju in the distance from the corner of his eye.
An inexplicable joy rose in his heart as well.
Taiwei Daoist had occupied the Heavenly Emperor Grand Dao and attained the Other Shore—certainly good news.
But the even greater news was that Yan Ju had once again traversed the Boundless Grand Dao in the Barbaric Lands and was on the verge of attaining the Other Shore through the boundless path.
This carried far greater significance than Taiwei Daoist's breakthrough.
With this as a foundation, they would surely gain a firm foothold in the Barbaric Lands in the future and perfect this Dao.
Boom!
At that moment, a phenomenon manifested between heaven and earth. Above the void, a stream of chaos qi abruptly shattered a universe-sized sword formation formed of termination qi, shooting out and burrowing into the depths of the River of Time. Just as it seemed about to escape, a dazzling azure sword gleam appeared in the void, blocking the chaos qi before the River of Time.
Great swathes of the River of Time collapsed, and a slightly plump figure clad in a chaos-colored robe manifested his true form within.
His face was smooth yet as large as a bright moon. His eyes were a pure black, and a vertical golden-patterned eye emerged upon his forehead. Yet this Chaos Emperor appeared rather bedraggled.
The River of Time slowly dissipated before him, and Supreme Clarity Daoist condensed into form within it, bearing Supreme Clarity immortal light.
The intense power of finality surrounding him condensed amid the Supreme Clarity immortal light, as though it represented the great tide of ending within the Barbaric Lands.
At that moment, he glanced in Yang Huai's direction, a faint ripple surfacing in his gaze, but he paid it no heed.
