Chapter 1719 The River of Time Stops Flowing

As soon as the power of light disappeared, Taoist Gu Yao knew what happened. He slightly grinned, revealing a very strange smile, and glanced at the twelfth-grade golden lotus of merit. In the end, he decided to temporarily give up the fight for this treasure, sacrificed the Desolate Heaven Chariot, and fled in the direction of the Light Tree.

The Devouring Demon Lord, the Northern Dipper Sword Lord, the Fighting Heaven Saint Lord, and the Three Pure Ones and others stood by the Time Pond without moving. The other powerful people who were qualified to compete for the Golden Lotus of Merit also did not move.

However, the faces of the Devouring Demon Lord and others were faintly showing a trace of anxiety.

The clones and the Hongmeng Sacred Artifacts they sent to the Bright Heavenly Dao World to take the treasure are now trapped in the River of Time and have not been able to escape. At this time, the River of Time is flowing slowly under the influence of the Golden Lotus of Merit.

Being in the River of Time, whether it is the power of Heaven or the life span, it will be affected by the speed of the River of Time, and will be constantly reduced and consumed. As time goes by, even the Hongmeng Sacred Artifact may be completely consumed by the power of Heaven and there is no possibility of taking it back.

However, they are unwilling to leave here now and go to take back their clones and sacred artifacts. If the other few people take the Merit Golden Lotus by force while they are away, once they succeed, they will regret it.

After several attempts before, they have tested the stunning lady in purple palace dress and the big man in yellow robe, and their strength is equal to theirs.

Especially the big man in yellow robe, who is even stronger than the Devouring Demon Lord and is at the same level as the Fighting Heaven Saint Lord.

The old Taoist with one horn on the other side is even more weird. After several attempts, they have not been able to test his true details, which makes several people full of fear of him.

They were no match for the Taoist Gu Yao, so they needed to take out their own Hongmeng sacred artifacts from it, so they naturally didn't need to go there in person.

The departure of Taoist Gu Yao did not break the balance between the few people, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.

In fact, the big man in yellow robe, the beautiful lady in purple palace dress, and the old Taoist with white hair and beard were allies, and the three of them seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

More importantly, the Devouring Demon Lord and others did not know that there were three opponents with the same cultivation strength as them in the world of Bitter Sea.

They seemed to have suddenly appeared in the Hongmeng Heavenly Lord, which surprised and puzzled the five people including the Devouring Demon Lord.

Taoist Gu Yao had previously asked about the origins of the three people in a roundabout way, but unfortunately he failed.

There were four Hongmeng Heavenly Lords on their side, and three Hongmeng Heavenly Lords on the opposite side. In terms of overall strength, the Devouring Demon Lord and his side naturally had the advantage. However, in the previous attempts, the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord and his men also saw that the three people on the opposite side seemed to be very good at fighting in this environment, allowing them to take advantage of the terrain, and the two sides were temporarily evenly matched.

However, when the Taoist Gu Yao left, the three people on the opposite side saw an opportunity.

After the three looked at each other, they quietly approached the Merit Golden Lotus. Their little movements naturally could not be hidden from the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord and the other four people, and the four people also approached the Merit Golden Lotus.

"Everyone, this treasure is useless to you, but it is indispensable to me. Why don't you let me take it? If you agree, I will go to the Ancient Holy Land to get the treasure later. I am willing to lend a hand. What do you think?"

The yellow-robed man looked at the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord and the others and said with a slight smile.

"What a joke, you are hiding your head and showing your tail, and you dare not even reveal your true identity, and you also want to possess such a treasure?" The Three Pure Ones sneered and sneered.

Doutian Shengzun and Beidou Jianzun looked cold, as if they didn't even bother to answer the yellow-robed man's words, and Tuntian Mozun also sneered and said nothing, which was very obvious, and it was impossible for him to give in.

"I am not from the Three Realms, and you may not have heard of my name. It doesn't matter whether I say it or not. If you insist on not giving it up, don't blame me for not getting any benefits when I take it, which is a big loss."

The yellow-robed man seemed to be determined to seize the Merit Golden Lotus, and he was full of confidence. There was an indescribable calmness in his words.

However, he was not without reason to be so confident.

Everyone could sense that he could absorb the power of merit from the Merit Golden Lotus!

Although everyone couldn't see how he absorbed the power of merit, they could sense it. And except for him, everyone else, including the gorgeous lady in purple palace dress and the one-horned old Taoist, could not absorb the power of merit.

This also made the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord and others feel a little anxious and uneasy. They already believed that it was just as the yellow-robed man said, that this treasure was destined for him, and he would get it in the end.

The yellow-robed man walked to a place about a few hundred feet away from the twelfth-grade golden lotus of merit, and did not approach it anymore. Instead, he absorbed the power of merit there with a very enjoyable look.

His behavior made the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord and others feel embarrassed. It was not right to stop him, but it was also not right not to stop him. Several people looked at each other, not knowing how to start.

The one-horned old Taoist and the lady in palace dress seemed to have expected this, so they were on guard near the yellow-robed man to prevent him from suddenly attacking.

The two sides were deadlocked, and no one took action for a while.

The other part of the Tianzun who rushed towards the Light God Tree had already rushed to the side of the deep pit. When they saw clearly that there was a pool of time next to the deep pit, everyone was stunned.

Looking up again, I saw that the River of Time had lost its source at some point!

Half of the river water, like a streamer, was suspended in the air, slowly flowing towards the Pool of Time. It would not be long before the floating river without a source would completely disappear.

"How could this tributary of the River of Time be cut off? Is it because the Tree of Light disappeared?"

Seeing this scene, a Heavenly Venerable could not help but mutter to himself in surprise, obviously shocked that the River of Time suddenly stopped flowing.

There were thirteen Heavenly Venerables who flew over, and all of them appeared beside the Pool of Time. Some of them were looking at the River of Time in the air, some were looking at the Pool of Time, and some were looking at the treasures floating in the River of Time.

At this time, most of the treasures floating in the River of Time had fallen into the Pool of Time, and no one knew where they flowed to, but there were still two treasures that did not fall into the Pool of Time and were still slowly floating down.

The two treasures were the Yuantu Sword and the Abi Sword. At this time, next to the two holy swords, two people were trying to seize the two holy swords.

One of them, wearing a blood-stained robe and stepping on a slightly lower-level holy sword, was trying his best to collect the two holy swords, but the bone-white holy light emitted from the two holy swords made it impossible for him to get close.

The other person was sitting cross-legged in a cauldron, floating on the river of time, constantly wandering outside the two holy swords. Whenever the bone-white holy light approached, he would emit a faint starlight, eliminating the bone-white holy light in the five elements.

It can be seen that the blood-stained young man was also quite surprised at this time, as if he had never expected that the young man in the cauldron could actually resist the bone-white holy light.

The two were in the River of Time, and it was impossible for them to notice someone approaching from outside. But at this moment, the young man in the cauldron seemed to notice something and looked outside, and then continued to wander around the two holy swords as if nothing had happened.

This person was naturally none other than Wu Yan, who had just made up his mind and sacrificed the Xuanhuang furnace to enter the River of Time again.

The Yuantu Sword and the Abi Sword were very important to him, and he didn't want to miss them. Especially if the treasure was taken by Beidou Sword Master, then he would never get it again. In this case, he needed to get the two swords before Beidou Sword Master's Blood God Son.

As for whether Beidou Sword Master would threaten him with his immortal consciousness clone and the lives of his friends and fellow disciples in the lower world, Wu Yan was not too worried.

What he needed was the killing way contained in the two holy swords, and as for the two holy swords, they were not the most important to him.

I believe that with the Great Wilderness Yuan Ding, it is fully capable of extracting the killing path from the two holy swords, just like extracting the Bright Heavenly Dao World from the Bright God Tree before.

When Wu Yan was observing the Bright Heavenly Dao World before, he vaguely realized that one of the other seven undeveloped Heavenly Dao Worlds was filled with terrifying killing aura.

The killing aura even broke through the fog and rushed into the Great Wilderness Yuan Ding, forming a series of killing Asuras that seemed real and illusory above that Heavenly Dao World.

It is obvious that the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao in that area should be related to the killing path, and it is even very likely to be the killing Heavenly Dao that is the same as the two holy swords.

But Wu Yan did not expect that the commotion caused by the disappearance of the Bright God Tree would attract the attention of the various Heavenly Lords so quickly.

He knew that his every move in the River of Time was under the observation of those Heavenly Lords, so he did not rashly collect the two holy swords, but used his own universe to continuously absorb the bone-white holy light leaking from the two holy swords into the Great Wilderness Yuan Ding.

As soon as these absorbed bone-white holy lights entered the Hongmeng world, they really turned into a series of Asura phantoms and rushed towards the area where the Killing Heavenly Dao was located.

After those Asura phantoms fell into the Killing Heavenly Dao world, they really broke through the strands of Killing Heavenly Dao fog, revealing a little bit of the world below.

However, these auras were too weak after all, and were not enough to break through the large fog. Moreover, the Killing Asuras floating in the air seemed to be extremely repelled by the rushing Asura phantoms, and actually went up to fight with them, splitting them apart and preventing them from falling into the fog.

Judging from the situation, in order to completely split the fog, the two holy swords' bodies need to come to this world.

However, Wu Yan could sense that the two holy swords were getting closer and closer to the Pool of Time. He was not sure what would happen after entering the Pool of Time, so he hesitated as to whether he should take the two holy swords away before they fell into the Pool of Time.
