The youth looked back, golden blood qi surging into the heavens like a true dragon descending upon the world. Ten thousand Daos followed him, and his every movement connected with the supreme Great Dao, as though he were the Son of the Heavens.
Every one of these traits proclaimed his identity.
"An innate sacred body dao embryo!" Qin Tian pronounced the name of that constitution word by word.
The innate sacred body dao embryo ranked among the universe's highest-tier constitutions, a supreme physique capable of rivaling the chaos body.
And in the present world, only one person possessed this supreme constitution.
"The young Wushi?!"
"This is truly unbelievable!"
Once again, Qin Tian experienced how extraordinary these eyes were. They could actually span tens of thousands of years and pierce the barrier of time-even when that Heavenly Emperor was involved.
"It seems my cheat has extremely high privileges when it comes to time," Qin Tian said thoughtfully.
It could capture the concept of a past self and see through the ages. Although its scant essence meant he could only perform such operations a few times, at least he could use them without suffering much backlash.
That alone showed how extraordinary the Temporal-Spatial Eyes were.
If he could replenish their essence in the future, these Temporal Eyes would possess truly heaven-defying power. Surpassing double pupils would be only a matter of time.
"It seems the power of time and space clinging to these eyes is of an extremely high order!" Qin Tian touched the corner of his eye.
Ever since his transformation at the other shore, the potential of the Temporal-Spatial Eyes had been unleashed. They had grown increasingly powerful, and many things that had once been impossible could now be accomplished with ease.
On the other side, countless ages in the past, the young Wushi rose to his full height. A vast, unfathomable surge of blood qi emerged, its escaping wisps powerful enough to crush mountains.
The instincts of his dao embryo were awakening. Traces of the Dao manifested across the heavens, becoming clearly visible to the world. Qin Tian's eyes widened involuntarily as he gazed longingly at the Dao marks gradually filling the sky.
The terrifying nature of the innate sacred body dao embryo began to reveal itself. As he cultivated, ten thousand Daos awakened, drawing close to his dao embryo and resonating with him. Dao marks filled heaven and earth, rumbling thunderously.
The golden blood qi pouring from his body was powerful enough to shake heaven and earth. Even a wisp escaping from him could slay any Great Power.
The young Wushi stood proudly, moving both hands as he began to develop a terrifying Dao and art. In an instant, heaven and earth wailed, and a strange immortal radiance faintly shimmered.
Qin Tian said hesitantly, "Is he... demonstrating an art?!"
As this secret art emerged, heaven and earth trembled. The river of time flickered in and out of sight, and all the Daos throughout the heavens resonated with it, moving at the youth's will.
Without question, this was a supreme art, peerless beneath the heavens. Even its nascent form caused the river of time to show signs of manifesting. Once perfected, its power would be inconceivable.
It was precisely this art that stirred a ripple in the river of time, connecting with the Temporal Eyes and allowing Qin Tian to glimpse the scenery of countless ages past.
Qin Tian's gaze burned. "Could this be..."
"The Wushi Technique!"
"This is the young Wushi developing the Wushi Technique!"
"This is Great Emperor Wushi creating his art."
Qin Tian watched, utterly entranced. Those Dao marks and that demonstration were both opportunities of the highest order!
Fragments of the Great Dao's laws entwined the young Wushi as he worked through one variation after another, unleashing all manner of secret arts at will, whatever felt most natural.
One Life-Killing Great Art after another unfolded in his hands.
Wisps of Dao resonance emerged from empty space and clung to the young Wushi's fingertips. The paths his fingers traced were also traces of the Dao, unleashing boundless Dao power. This was a great art from the Western Emperor Scripture.
The young Wushi changed his movements again, bringing his hands together as though embracing a mountain. A black mountain took shape between them.
This was the Mountain-Embracing Seal, an ancient art whose legacy dated back to the desolate ancient era. As he hurled it out, it seemed capable of crushing a sky full of stars.
The next moment, the young Wushi changed his seal. Mountains exploded, his blood qi vast and his force surging, supremely hard and supremely yang.
He unleashed the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist inherited from a great accomplishment sacred body. It transformed into six ancient universes, evolving all things and encompassing every living being in the cosmos, terrifying beyond measure.
Next, the young Wushi began developing his own art. Time flowed endlessly, and the ages dissolved into emptiness. Its name was-Passing Years.
Every move the young Wushi performed was broken down. He drew out the fruits of creation best suited to himself, turning them into runes of the most fundamental kind.
One art, one rune. He dissected them, unfolded them, refined his own art, and comprehended his own Dao. He was seeking to create an even more terrifying great art.
The young Wushi's movements grew slower and slower, yet also increasingly profound and intricate. Their trajectories were complex. Though clearly slow, they dazzled the eye, making their rhythm impossible to follow.
A Dao pulsed within them, possessing both a vigorous grandeur and an abyssal unfathomability, all contained in the movements of his hands.
Both of Qin Tian's eyes were bleeding, yet he still strained to keep them wide open.
"There it is-the Wushi Technique!" Qin Tian murmured.
The young Wushi's movements suddenly quickened. The river of time coiled around him and slowly flowed backward. Everything returned to its origin; everything returned to a state without beginning.
The young Wushi stopped, his back turned to Qin Tian. His black hair was thick, and the light of wisdom shone in his eyes.
"The Wushi Technique?"
"Not bad. That is an excellent name, perfectly aligned with my Great Dao. The Wushi Technique it shall be."
Qin Tian was stunned!
Is he talking to me?!!!
Did I just speak with the young Wushi across countless ages?!
The young Wushi nodded to himself, seemingly enjoying Qin Tian's astonished expression. "Don't be surprised. Since you can see me, naturally I can hear your voice."
"Crossing the ages isn't difficult for me. After all... I am Wushi!" The young Wushi was rather proud of himself.
Rumble!
Lightning blazed. Forbidden thunder interrupted the young Wushi, seeking to sever the exchange between past and future.
The next instant, the young Wushi's aura soared. He stepped into a forbidden domain and unleashed the newly comprehended Wushi Technique with all his strength against the tribulation lightning, seeking to reduce it to nothing.
"Hmm, it seems communicating across the ages carries risks after all." The young Wushi called out:
"Until fate brings us together again!"
The river of time dimmed, and that youth of peerless splendor faded from sight.
Who stood as the pinnacle at the immortal road's end? One glimpse of Wushi, and all other Daos came to naught!
Even before attaining his Dao, his peerless brilliance had already begun to show.
Qin Tian scratched his head, puzzled. "This Wushi is very different from the Great Emperor Wushi I remember!"
"Is it because he's still young?"
"No, perhaps this is his true nature." Qin Tian reconsidered. "How could the master who raised a dog like Black Emperor possibly be a well-behaved boy?"
"Ugh!"
Qin Tian let out a groan and covered his eyes. Both had turned ashen white, a clear sign that their essence was nearly exhausted.
The Temporal-Spatial Eyes were extraordinary, their intrinsic nature of an exceedingly high order, but their scant essence posed a major problem.
"Still, what I gained this time was worth it!"
Qin Tian grinned. The Wushi Technique had been created right before his eyes.
It was as good as a demonstration performed specifically for him. How every symbol was formed, how every thread of divine power circulated, and how its Great Dao principles worked-all had been laid out before Qin Tian's eyes.
