Time is like a vast river, surging and flowing through the boundless darkness.

Its source is untraceable, where not only the commencement of time begins but also everything else!

Every droplet of the River of Time is a unique age, with each wave carrying innumerable tales, closely linked yet distinct from one another.

This river churns and roils as if reenacting segments of history.

At times tumultuous, symbolizing an era of unrest, with indomitable lives pressing forward through hardships; at times tranquil and peaceful, symbolizing an era of harmony, with all creatures of the world thriving in warmth.

Time streams by like the river, relentlessly flowing, neither capable of pausing nor reversing course!

The River of Time flows silently, bearing witness to the rise and fall of everything.

A magnificent Chaotic Divine Light enveloped Yu Yuan, Bai Ze, and the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, entering the River of Time.

Yu Yuan was familiar with this feeling.

Moreover, this entry into the River of Time felt different from the last; he could clearly sense the existence of the Demon Emperor Hall and the three hundred and sixty-five Great Celestial Stars Banners.

Currently, these banners were under the control of the Golden Spirit Saint Mother.

Upon entering the River of Time, she finally reverted to her original form, much to Bai Ze Demon Saint's chagrin, as a hint of realization flickered in his eyes.

Yu Yuan paid no mind to whatever he was thinking.

After all, now that the Chaos Bell, Mixed Gold Hammer, and other such treasures had returned to normal, should Bai Ze make the slightest move, he could instantly annihilate him on the spot!

The multicolored Chaotic Divine Light enveloped him and the Golden Spirit Saint Mother as if they were surfing within the River of Time, rushing toward the temporal node he had previously identified.

Chaotic Bell above his head, Mixed Gold Hammer in hand, he carefully guarded the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, while holding Bai Ze with his other hand, Divine Power condensing between his fingers, ready but not unleashed—merely a precaution against any nefarious acts from Emperor Jun's faction so that he could instantly slay Bai Ze if necessary.

Perhaps for fear of exposing some secret within the Demon Emperor Hall, Emperor Jun had not spoken since surrendering control.

Within the River of Time, the concept of time is incredibly vague.

Yu Yuan and the others had no idea how long they had been traversing.

It might have been but a moment, or tens of thousands of years may have passed.

They were nearing the temporal node they had targeted.

This journey was about to conclude.

Just then, an asphyxiating presence abruptly appeared ahead.

Yu Yuan looked up only to see a huge shadow breaking through the waves of the River of Time; within the shadow, a pair of crimson, blood-red eyes burning with a ferocious flame, revealing endless cruelty and bloodlust.

"It's that Time Erosion Demon again!"

Yu Yuan's mind stirred, glancing at Bai Ze Demon Saint and communicated via Primordial Spirit Transmission, "Does this Time Erosion Demon have anything to do with your kind?"

Bai Ze Demon Saint gave him a look, replying unenthusiastically, "Though it's also called a demon, this Time Erosion Demon had already been tamed as a mount by the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Demon Sect during the era when the Three Clans coexisted. How could it be related to our Demon Clan?"

"Then it's you who have colluded with that evil being?" Yu Yuan mused, "It seems that the Demon Emperor you serve isn't really keen on saving you..."

"Heh~" Bai Ze Demon Saint chuckled nonchalantly, "If it results in you and your disciple's total destruction, what harm is there if I too perish here?"

As he spoke, the Time Erosion Demon had already turned into a massive vortex that swept towards them.

The Time Erosion Demon did not have a fixed form, constantly changing, even distorting the River of Time nearby.

Around the vortex-shaped shadow, timelines of the past, present, and future intersected, creating a chaotic tableau.

Then, a burst of multicolored Chaotic Divine Light surged out of the vortex, like a magical rainbow bridge spanning across the River of Time.

Without hesitation, Yu Yuan raised Bai Ze Demon Saint as a shield, placing him before the Golden Spirit Saint Mother.

"Pop~"

When the Chaotic Divine Light struck Bai Ze Demon Saint, aside from a strong shockwave spreading around, no significant force came through.

"Is that all?"

Yu Yuan was somewhat puzzled.

Given the Time Erosion Demon's momentum, it was at least at the level of a Quasi-Saint, and it wielded the mysterious and enigmatic Law of Time, which even he wouldn't dare to underestimate.

At that moment, he noticed subtle changes occurring in Bai Ze Demon Saint's body under the envelopment of the Chaotic Divine Light.

The Demon Saint's stature began to change, slimming slightly, while the wrinkles on his face gradually disappeared, as if time was reversing upon him.

But when the Chaotic Divine Light dissipated, Bai Ze Demon Saint's complexion turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with disappointment and agony. His cultivation, once-acquired strength and realm, vanished without a trace in an instant, as if devoured by the Chaotic Divine Light.

With quivering hands, he felt for the power inside his body, yet he couldn't sense his formerly powerful Divine Skills.

Decades of painstakingly accumulated cultivation and mana had shattered, vanished like bubbles.

Yu Yuan observed carefully.

That burst of Chaotic Divine Light clearly contained the power of the Time Law!

Just in the blink of an eye, it restored Bai Ze Demon Saint to his state from dozens of eons ago!

Should Bai Ze Demon Saint not be ancient enough, he might have been reduced to nothingness!

With this thought, Yu Yuan's heart shuddered, and at the same time, a bizarre idea emerged.

If that beam of Chaotic Divine Light had fallen on him just now, wouldn't he have gained mana from several dozen eons out of thin air?

Of course, this was just his speculation.

And he had no intention of trying it.

Firstly, he did not know whether Reverse Action would work within this river of time, and secondly, he was uncertain if the Time Law functioned as he had guessed.

Right now, all he wanted was to return to his original era to change that withering future.

He did not want any more complications.

However, the Time Erosion Demon clearly did not intend to let them off so easily.

Countless temporal illusions emerged, filling the river of time like bubbles, each displaying different eras and scenes.

They floated, collided, and dissipated in the river of time, forming a complex and ever-changing spectacle.

These illusions twisted within the ripples of time, as if they were the fluctuations and refractions of time itself.

The scenes within the temporal illusions shifted countless times; sometimes crossing hundreds of years, at other times leaping over thousands.

They disturbed the timeline, warping the river of years, making it hard for Yu Yuan and the others to discern the true from the false, and even the temporal nodes originally within reach were on the verge of being submerged.

"We must stop it!" Golden Spirit Saint Mother said with a frown: "If this continues, we'll get lost in the river of time!"

Yu Yuan nodded in agreement, as the most taboo thing when traversing the river of time was losing one's anchor point.

That would mean they would have a hard time returning.

But in this river of time, countless temporal illusions continued to appear like bubbles.

Although they could not bewilder them in a short time, they still disturbed their intended route.

"You won't escape!"

Bai Ze Demon Saint sneered, "Inside this river of time, no one can match this Time Erosion Demon... or perhaps you could forcibly break through a passage, escape the river of time, and randomly move to any temporal space... only that, in doing so, you will never be able to return!"

"What's there for you to be pleased about?" Yu Yuan glanced at him, "Aren't you in the same boat?"

Bai Ze Demon Saint choked for a moment, then sneered: "For years, I plotted against you, yet time and again you eluded me, but now I have the chance to see you perish in this river of time, of course, I am pleased."

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Then you won't have that chance."

With that, he no longer looked at Bai Ze Demon Saint's face, which had suddenly turned ashen, and directly kneaded him into a ball with both hands, then mobilized his long-accumulated strength and threw him out.

Accompanied by a dazzling golden light.

The round ball-shaped Bai Ze Demon Saint, with earth-shaking might, directly slammed into the vortex center transformed by the Time Erosion Demon.

"Boom!"

The entire river of time boiled.

Golden lights soared up, as intense as flames.

The Time Erosion Demon let out a miserable howl, its ugly face filled with pain and fury.

Yu Yuan's strike caught it off guard, inflicting unprecedented pain.

However, it did not pursue Yu Yuan but turned its attention to Bai Ze Demon Saint.

Because the latter was also a Quasi-Saint of great power and had already entered its "body," it was undoubtedly more dangerous than Yu Yuan.

Thus, it morphed into a nine-headed Jiao Dragon-like fierce beast and pounced towards Bai Ze Demon Saint.

At the same time, Yu Yuan and Golden Spirit Saint Mother seized the opportunity to break free from the temporal illusions laid by the Time Erosion Demon and rushed towards the nearby temporal node at high speed.

Just as they were about to leave the river of time and enter the Primordial Heaven and Earth, six immense wills cast their gaze upon them, as if six more ancient giants were looking down at two ants...

Vast, magnificent, towering...

At this moment, both Yu Yuan and Golden Spirit Saint Mother couldn't help but feel an urge to prostrate in worship!

It was the Six Saints!

A flash of realization came to Yu Yuan.

The Six Saints had sensed a disturbance in the river of time and thus cast their gaze over.

Under the watchful eyes of the six Saints, Yu Yuan felt goosebumps all over his skin.

He dared not delay any further, hurriedly departed from the river of time, and once again returned to the Primordial world.
