saint of humanity

The river of time is turbulent and unpredictable, sometimes calm and still, like a stagnant pool, and sometimes turbulent and surging like a tsunami.

This is the origin and the end of time, containing everything from the past to the present and even the future. There are even rumors that if one can cultivate the power of time to its extreme, one can travel freely through it and go to any point in time, whether in the past or the future.

But this is just a rumor. Even among all the Dragon Lords throughout history, none of them has ever been able to do something so incredible.

As soon as Lu Ye entered this place, he felt an inexplicable power surrounding him. Under the erosion of that power, he couldn't help but feel a great sense of crisis.

That is undoubtedly the power of time.

Entering the river of time in this way is extremely dangerous for anyone; one wrong step and you could be completely lost within it, even more so than getting lost in the cracks of the void.

Lu Ye quickly activated the power of the Fruit of Time, and the power of time wrapped around his body, which gave him a slight resistance.

Even with his dragon bloodline and the power of past dragon lords through the Fruit of Time, his resistance is still somewhat strained.

He knew he had to act quickly, otherwise, if he lingered in this long river of time for too long, something bad would happen sooner or later.

He must find the Tower of Time and enter it before he becomes too weak to continue.

For outsiders, searching for the Tower of Time in such a continuous river is as difficult as climbing to heaven, because no one knows where this treasure is hidden.

But Lu Ye had his own way.

The Fruit of Time connects him with the Dragon Lords of all ages, so by following the source of the power of time, he can find the exact location of the Tower of Time.

However, just as he was about to do so, he suddenly sensed something amiss. He raised his eyes slightly and looked in one direction, only to see the long river surging with waves, as if some terrifying ferocious creature was rapidly approaching from below, disturbing the river's tranquility.

Lu Ye was startled. He had never heard of anything in the River of Time, but the situation was far from optimistic.

In a panic, he hurriedly rushed in the opposite direction, but the thing behind him was extremely fast and quickly closed in within moments.

"Hmm?" Lu Ye suddenly realized something, slowly stopped, and turned around to look back.

A moment later, a giant wave swept in, but suddenly disappeared not far in front of Lu Ye. Then, a small tower slowly emerged from the calm river.

The tower was only about a foot tall and looked unremarkable at first glance, but it clearly contained extremely mysterious and precious power.

Tower of Time!

Sure enough, it is this thing. No wonder there are other things in the long river of time.

After a moment's thought, Lu Ye looked down at the dragon scale in his hand and understood.

These dragon scales were left behind by the dragon and phoenix ancestors, and the Tower of Time was also left behind by the dragon and phoenix ancestors. It must have been that the spirit of the Tower of Time sensed the aura of these scales, which is why it took the initiative to appear before us.

That's a good thing; now we don't have to go through the trouble of searching for anything.

"Tower Spirit, I want to enter!" Lu Ye said softly to the Tower of Time, holding the ancestral dragon scale.

As Lu Ye finished speaking, the Tower of Time trembled slightly, and a beam of mysterious light shot out, enveloping it.

Lu Ye did not resist. In a moment of confusion, his vision was reversed and everything around him had changed drastically.

He turned around and looked around, realizing that he had entered the Tower of Time and was on the first floor.

He was delighted; the trip had gone quite smoothly. Now that he had entered the Tower of Time, he naturally had to hurry up and cultivate, striving to raise his strength to its limit.

However, this first floor is clearly not a suitable location. Inside the Tower of Time, the higher the floor, the greater the ratio of time flow to the outside world. Even if Lu Ye wanted to cultivate, he could not do so here.

It's not even the highest level, because there's another location within this Tower of Time where the rate of time flow relative to the outside world is even more terrifying than the highest level. Since time is precious these days, he naturally needs to cultivate in the most suitable place to ensure his maximum benefit.

"Tower Spirit, I want to enter the lowest level!" Lu Ye looked up and spoke slowly.

The last time he entered the lowest level, it was with the Dragon Lord and the Phoenix Lord who led him in. The method of entering was known only to the Dragon Lords of each generation, and Lu Ye naturally did not know it.

But it doesn't matter. Since the tower spirit is willing to accept him, letting him enter the lowest level shouldn't be a problem.

Lu Yeyuan thought so, but after he spoke, the surroundings became completely silent, with no response from the tower spirit and no other changes.

Lu Ye frowned slightly and said again, "Tower Spirit, send me to the lowest level!"

Still no response.

Since the tower spirit is present, it's impossible that it couldn't hear this. The fact that it's not responding now clearly indicates some kind of restriction, or that the tower spirit is unwilling to do so.

At the very bottom is the Ancestral Abyss Restriction, a method secretly left behind by the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors, a place where the Dragon Lords of all generations are imprisoned. All those Dragon Lords have been corrupted by the Star Abyss aura, so whenever a Dragon Lord reaches his limit, he will voluntarily enter the Ancestral Abyss.

The tower spirit undoubtedly possesses its own intelligence, and given the current situation, it is highly likely that it is unwilling to send Lu Ye inside.

Lu Ye scratched his head, unsure of what to do if the tower spirit was unwilling.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Tower Spirit, when Dragon Lord and I came in last time, you should have seen clearly that I can repair the Ancestral Abyss Restriction, so it is impossible for me to harm the Ancestral Abyss Restriction by entering. I only want to cultivate inside for a while, so please be accommodating."

As he said this, he raised the ancestral dragon scale in his hand to show his sincerity.

In Lu Ye's view, the Tower Spirit was willing to accept him in entirely because of the ancestral dragon scale, which should be a token to it.

If that's the case, the token should still be able to function.

However, this was not the case. Even when Lu Ye took out the ancestral dragon scales again, the tower spirit still did not react.

Lu Ye immediately understood that the Tower Spirit valued the Ancestral Abyss Restriction more than he had expected. It would not allow any unexpected situations to occur, so even if he had the token, it wouldn't work.

Unless the Dragon Lord himself arrives!

This made Lu Ye sigh. The plan had changed. Since he couldn't get to the bottom level, he could only go to the top level, where the flow of time would probably meet his needs.

As he was thinking this, Lu Ye suddenly had another thought and activated his Dragon Vein Body.

In an instant, a pure dragon's breath spread out, and amidst the golden light, a high-pitched dragon roar could be heard.

Almost at the same moment the high-pitched dragon roar resounded, a point of golden light suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ye, and from within that golden light, a surprised voice came out: "The aura of the master!"

Lu Ye gazed at the golden light and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Tower Spirit?"

The golden light, as small as a bean, trembled slightly before speaking, "So that's how it is. You have obtained the master's true blood." After a moment of silence, the tower spirit continued, "Since you have obtained the master's true blood, you are a trustworthy person. Go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light suddenly vanished.

Before Lu Ye could ask anything more, he suddenly felt as if he were sinking into a quagmire. Looking down, he saw a dark pit under his feet, and his body slowly sank into it.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had finally activated the Dragon Vein Body; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to achieve his goal.

Just a few breaths later, Lu Ye was plunged into an endless darkness. This place seemed to be an extremely vast and spacious space, and he could clearly feel that not far away, there were dense streams of temporal power that were closely connected to the temporal fruit on his talent tree!

Those were the many dragon lords of past generations who had sealed themselves within the ancestral abyss's restrictions.

Actually, Lu Ye had doubts when he first came here.

When the Dragon Lords of each generation were about to reach their limits, they sealed themselves here. Their perseverance and courage are admirable. However, instead of being sealed here, they could have chosen to enter the Hehe Realm to hide, because the Hehe Realm is a pure land.

At that time, Lu Ye wondered why the Dragon Lords didn't enter the Hehe Realm, but instead chose this method.

In retrospect, the Ancestral Abyss Restriction is the safest place. The Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors must have foreseen the changes in the Hehe Realm long ago. If the Dragon Lords of past generations had truly entered the Hehe Realm, they would most likely have become puppets of the Abyss.

It would be safer to seal oneself away in the ancestral abyss.

Looking up at the massive Ancestral Abyss Restriction, Lu Ye slowly calmed his mind, sat down cross-legged, and then took out a large number of Dao Jade, activating the power of the Talent Tree to refine them and replenish his own Dao Power reserves.

Cultivation is an extremely tedious thing, but fortunately, you can feel your own strength improving.

Nurturing the Panshan Blade is not a difficult task for him at the moment. He only needs to pour Dao power into the Panshan Blade step by step, although it consumes a lot of energy.

According to Ba Qiu's classification of supreme treasures, after devouring Shang and inheriting everything from Shang, Liao is now at least at the fourth or fifth grade level.

Its upper limit is very high now. Lu Ye has already nurtured it to 1,500 levels, but it still hasn't reached its limit.

It should be understood that it is extremely difficult for an ordinary Dao Integration cultivator to cultivate their foundation to this level. The current Panshan Blade alone is equivalent to a top-tier mid-level Dao Integration cultivator, which shows how powerful such a blessing is.

The Panshan Blade is still Lu Ye's Dao weapon. For a weapon cultivator, this is their own foundation and not an external force.

The secret techniques of the small world have given Lu Ye a foundation of eight or nine thousand strands of power.

If it weren't for Yuan's malice and curse, which made it difficult for Lu Ye to mobilize external forces, with his current terrifying foundation, even half-saints would probably not be able to withstand the power of his single strike. Only true saints could rival him.

However, precisely because it is difficult to mobilize external forces, Lu Ye can only rely on everything he has now.

He didn't care too much, because a long time ago he had realized that this method of cultivation that relied on external forces was not reliable.

If Yuan didn't have its own will, that wouldn't be a problem. But precisely because Yuan possesses its own will, all cultivators are now subject to its control to varying degrees. (End of Chapter)
