In the endless void of the Beyond Lands, an illusory river of time spread out from the emptiness. Eternal ages rushed past, and boundless traces of the time law suffused heaven and earth. Amid that endless aura of the space-time law, Daoist Shichen slowly emerged, walking upon the river of ages.
He traveled backward through countless ages.
It was as though he had returned from the very creation of heaven and earth.
A dense aura of the time law flowed around him.
With black hair, white eyes, and a Daoist robe, he bore the sun, moon, and stars upon his back. An illusory Time Compass hovered silently above his head.
It was not the sort of Time Compass Daochen had replicated with the time law, but the true Time Compass.
A chaos spirit treasure!
It was the companion supreme treasure of the Time Demon God, one of the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods.
Though it could not compare to Pangu's World-Creation Divine Axe, Creation Green Lotus, or the complete Jade Butterfly of Creation, it was far, far mightier than a Xiantian Supreme Treasure.
"Congratulations on your return, fellow Daoist!"
As he watched Daoist Shichen regain his form as a Chaos God and Demon, a strange gleam flashed through Great Immortal Yangmei's eyes.
This was the time law!
His true body lay hidden in the past, present, and future. Even if one incarnation of his true self was destroyed, he could summon his past self from the river of time!
When it came to preserving his life, even the space law Yangmei commanded could not compare!
The space law possessed unparalleled killing power, but its ability to preserve life was somewhat lacking.
The time law, however, was uncanny beyond measure.
So long as time endured, his true body would endure.
