"So they came after all!"
Chen Cuo was not the least bit surprised by the oncoming light. He had even guessed something of his attackers' identities!
First, the Cultivation Way's Dao Lord forced his way across realms, only to be held back by Emperor Zhuanxu. Now that I'm going home, I'm bound to face the others. Qingxu is the Cult Leader of the Creation Great Cult, while the Jade Void Cult Leader wields the Heavenly Dao Authority of the Primordial Beginning Way. Both landed in the Nine Hells long ago. Where the River of Time stands frozen makes a perfect Dao Mark—an anchor for those two Dao Lords to project their wills here!
Even as the thought flashed through his mind, his hands kept moving. He swept them apart, Starlight flashing across his body, and the power of the Heavenly Dao of Rise and Fall surged from his palms into a barrier before him!
Boom! Boom!
The forces collided!
As the powers of the Heavenly Dao clashed head-on, their myriad strange and wondrous laws canceled one another out, leaving only the purest violence!
A furious blast of air roared toward the River of Time, seeping into several eras and throwing the Celestial Phenomena into chaos. Cultivators looked on in terror!
"The power of the Heavenly Dao? You still have some left?" An astonished voice rang out from the Violet Light, full of bewilderment.
The Azure Light faltered slightly as well. A thought like wind and thunder stirred turbulent currents in the void: "Could his earlier battle with Guang Chengzi, when he traveled upstream, have brought this Anomaly some other gain—enough to condense the power of the Heavenly Dao anew?"
Chen Cuo did not answer. Riding the force of the collision, he drifted backward and slipped straight into the Pitch-Black Barrier.
