Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

She saw Jiang Hao, across countless ages and endless time and space, she saw him.

The Empress's empty eyes suddenly brightened, sparkling with surprise.

Although her specific expression was obscured by the special bronze mask she was wearing, Jiang Hao could sense that she was smiling.

You can feel that joy, like seeing a loved one, like a lost person finding their way home.

"I...finally...no..."

She tried desperately to say something, but Jiang Hao couldn't hear her at all.

The river of time has swallowed all sounds.

"Um?"

Jiang Hao's heart tightened, and he quickly took a step forward, wanting to hear clearly, as this was a major event concerning the future.

She must want to tell Jiang Hao something important, maybe about the future, maybe about the enemy.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the river of time suddenly erupted into chaos.

A dazzling array of seven-colored light surged in from all directions, filled with an eeriness and an ominous atmosphere.

The enemy is coming, and there's more than one!

Two terrifying, eerie, and ominous figures suddenly appeared in the river of time and space.

They were surrounded by a seven-colored mist, obscuring their faces. Only two pairs of eyes peeked out from the mist, cold and ruthless, looking down on everything as if they were ants.

"These are Immortal Emperors... and there are two of them!"

Seeing these two figures appear, Jiang Hao's heart sank. He had captured one empress, but the other side had sent out two immortal emperors.

What does this mean? It means that the opposing side has more than two Celestial Emperors, and possibly even more.

A deep chill rose from the bottom of Jiang Hao's heart.

The enemy's strength was terrifying, far exceeding his expectations.

"Is this eerie and ominous aura surrounding them the reason that caused the supreme holy realm, the enemy of the Nine Heavens, to fall?"

Jiang Hao felt heavy-hearted as he looked at the ominous aura emanating from the two of them.

This aura was so unsettling, more terrifying than any demon; it was something ancient and twisted.

Looking at this ominous aura, Jiang Hao seemed to see countless civilizations destroyed, all living beings withered, and everything returning to nothingness.

"How many civilizations have they destroyed...?"

Jiang Hao then looked at the Empress, who was alone, severely injured, her white clothes stained with blood, facing two enemies of equal strength.

Can she escape? If she is truly the only one left in all the myriad realms in the future, or if she is gone too, then our side will truly have no one left to lead the charge.

Jiang Hao's heart clenched, but unfortunately, there was nothing he could do or help with.

This is a battle between Immortal Emperors. In the presence of Immortal Emperors, Jiang Hao is now just an ant!

Jiang Hao couldn't back down either, because if he did, the River of Time would attract the other party's attention. If the Strange Immortal Emperor made a move at that time, he and the Three Realms would be instantly wiped out!

At this moment, one of the eerie Immortal Emperors spoke, his voice indifferent, as if it came from the depths of the netherworld: "Found you, ruthless one, you can't escape!"

The two men looked in the direction of the Empress, their killing intent soaring to the heavens!

However, the Empress merely glanced at them indifferently before looking away, appearing completely unconcerned.

"you……"

The two strange immortal emperors were furious. The other one was just a lonely, homeless dog. What was he pretending for?

Just as the two were about to make their move, the river of time itself surged with enormous waves, shattering countless ancient histories.

This is the power of a Celestial Emperor; with a casual gesture, he can cause the destruction of countless worlds.

But the two suddenly stopped, as if they had discovered something.

His gaze shifted, extending towards Jiang Hao.

At that moment, Jiang Hao's hair stood on end, like a small fish being stared at face-to-face by a shark.

This aura was terrifying. Even across endless time and countless ages, just being swept by that gaze made Jiang Hao feel like he was about to be crushed.

This is no joke; I genuinely felt my body collapsing, from my bones to my flesh, from my meridians to my spirit, all trembling under that invisible pressure.

Jiang Hao wanted to move, but he couldn't move at all.

Like a fish nailed to a chopping board, with the knife already raised, its life or death is out of its own hands.

He was still conscious, but his body was no longer his.

Even his heartbeat slowed down, as if someone was squeezing his heart and tightening it slowly.

"Is this what an Immortal Emperor is? Just the aura he casually releases is enough to render me completely powerless to resist across countless ages."

At this moment, Jiang Hao directly experienced the power of the Immortal Emperor.

It can truly suppress everything; it is omnipotent!

The Immortal Emperor is too powerful, far beyond Jiang Hao's current understanding.

The gaze drew closer and closer, about to fall upon Jiang Hao.

This was a kind of despair he had never experienced before.

Jiang Hao had encountered formidable enemies and faced life-or-death situations before, but at least back then he could fight back, fight desperately, and grit his teeth to persevere in dire circumstances.

But this time it was completely different; he didn't even have the right to resist.

More importantly, if these two strange immortal emperors discover him, not only will he die, but the Three Realms will also cease to exist instantly.

His family, his friends, his heavenly realm—all will vanish.

This is a Celestial Emperor, a being capable of intervening across the river of time.

At this moment, Jiang Hao experienced what it meant to be powerless and what it meant to be desperate.

"Is this how it ends? No, I absolutely refuse to accept this ending!"

Jiang Hao roared inwardly, urging his divine power to move and resist.

He was unwilling to accept this fate; he was not afraid of death, but he could not die here.

Behind him lies countless years of hard work, and countless people who trusted him, followed him, and entrusted their fates to him.

Jiang Hao's primordial spirit was burning. He used his own life force as firewood, his Dao fruit as fuel, and all the foundation he had accumulated over seven lifetimes.

He was determined to fight his way out of this desperate situation; he was determined to fight to the death and he would not admit defeat!

Jiang Hao's body was constantly cracking open, blood was flowing freely, and his primordial spirit was shattering.

But it was all in vain, it had no effect whatsoever.

The power of the Immortal Emperor was too great. With just a glance, Jiang Hao's efforts were rendered futile.

"Still can't do it...?"

Jiang Hao was in despair; he couldn't bear to see the world behind him being destroyed.

Those places he has protected for countless years, those people he knows, will all disappear because of him.

Just then, the bronze bell finally responded, and the patterns on its surface lit up one by one, like a sleeping dragon opening its eyes.

Then, red light surged from deep within the bell, like the first rays of dawn breaking across the sky.

This red light is holy and sacred, as if it can dispel all darkness and purify all misfortune.

The moment the red light touched the seven-colored mist, the mist melted away silently, like ice and snow meeting fire, and ceased to exist!

A red light instantly enveloped Jiang Hao's entire body.

Jiang Hao felt his body being supported by a warm force, like a drowning person being pulled ashore, or a lost person seeing a light.

The oppressive force that had been suffocating him dissipated, the surrounding sense of oppression vanished, and the waves of time calmed down.

Everything fell silent!

"Huff...huff"

Jiang Hao took a step back abruptly, his heart pounding, finally able to move again.

He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, and cold sweat streaming down his face.

At that moment, two pairs of eyes simultaneously fell on the spot where he had just been standing.

Jiang Hao could feel the waves of the river of time exploding beneath his feet, with countless ancient histories and future events scattering like snowflakes.
