Chapter 1259: Chapter 539 In Heaven and Earth, Unequaled Anywhere! (Grand Finale)_2 Chapter 1259: Chapter 539 In Heaven and Earth, Unequaled Anywhere! (Grand Finale)_2 “Agreed!” The voice that returned was devoid of emotion and icy cold.

Upon hearing these two words, Jiang Yuan also instantly abandoned the thoughts in his heart.

In making a transaction with the world’s will, rather than cling to his previous efforts, He preferred to break off the deal.

There was no way to continue the negotiation.

The next moment.

Jiang Yuan’s gaze turned towards the source of the Time River.

“Since this is the case, then I can only set my sights on them!”

“Just as well, it will also let me see what the so-called upstream cultivation civilizations are truly capable of!”

Having made his decision, Jiang Yuan no longer hesitated.

His whole body was already atop the surface of the river and nearly entirely free from the Time River’s constraints.

Now he was only bound by the invisible fetters of the Time River.

The only thing separating him from transcendence was the final step.

Also, he had mastered all of the Three Thousand Great Dao by now.

His mastery in both Time and Space had reached unprecedented levels, achieving full control.

Should the need arise, he felt that at any moment, he could completely break free from this Time River and venture into the greater Heaven and Earth outside.

Because at this moment, his mastery of the Time Great Dao had reached one hundred percent–a level of proficiency that met the requirements for transcendence.

He could clearly feel that the Time River’s restraint on him was almost non-existent.

With a slight leap, he could break free from the Time River’s constraints entirely.

But he was not in a rush to take this step; he did not know what would happen after transcendence, whether he could still remain in this world, or whether he would be repelled by it.

At Jiang Yuan’s level, flowing against the Time River posed no pressure for him.

Looking down, he saw the past history of this realm regressing rapidly in his eyes, while he continued to approach upstream relentlessly.

…

Upstream of the Time River.

The Emperor’s Barrier.

This was a grand barrier located beneath the river’s surface and was once a part of the Heavenly Court.

“Cough cough!”

A Three-eyed Divine General coughed out golden blood, a dark spear completely puncturing through his body, pinning him to a stone pillar.

Watching the large boat flowing downstream, endless sorrow filled the eyes of the Three-eyed Divine General.

“Heavenly Emperor, I am sorry!”

“I failed to meet your expectations!”

“I couldn’t stop them!”

He muttered, golden blood flowing from his mouth.

His armor was already shattered, smeared red with dark bloodstains.

The spear that impaled him had strands of black blood flowing down its length.

The black blood gathered at the base of the spear, falling drop by drop onto the black and white tiled floor from the cold luminescent spear-tip.

At the end of his sight.

A massive battleship, half-submerged in the river’s surface, was slowly making its way downstream.

On the body of the battleship was a pattern of a black great sun.

This black great sun pattern emitted wisps and threads of great sun aura, sinister and cold, completely lacking the great sun’s magnanimous energy–it seemed to be the insignia of a certain power.

On the deck of the ship, a man in a purple robe with a sinister face stood with his hands behind his back, calmly gazing downstream of the Time River.

Behind the sinister-faced, purple-robed man stood a somewhat hunched, middle-aged elder.

“Black Xuan Emperor, I think it’s safer to report back to the alliance! That powerful being clashed with three Emperors back then! Whether he is alive or dead now is still an unknown!” said the hunched elder.

“The dam has actually collapsed; that powerful being must have encountered a great issue! Otherwise, how could the dam he built suddenly collapse?” the purple-robed Black Xuan Emperor responded coldly.

He then added, “Don’t worry, with me here, nothing will go wrong! That small tributary actually produced such a terrifying powerhouse; perhaps there are grand opportunities from the outer realms worth gambling for!”

“Alright then!” Seeing the Black Xuan Emperor so determined, the hunched elder could only nod in agreement.

For the person before him was an Immortal Emperor, standing at the pinnacle of numerous worlds.

Suddenly.

The Black Xuan Emperor’s gaze became sharp.

At that moment, the hunched elder behind him also became alert.

“Someone is coming!”

The Black Xuan Emperor heard this and gave a slight nod in agreement.

“The comer seems to bear ill will!” the hunched elder spoke again.

“You’re not wrong!” said the Black Xuan Emperor, looking at Jiang Yuan approaching unhurriedly and speaking slowly.

“Shall I go test him out first?” asked the hunched elder.

“Very well!” The Black Xuan Emperor nodded in consent.

Just then.

“No need for that!”

Before they could move, Jiang Yuan’s voice calmly reached both of their ears; his figure had not arrived, but the sound was already there.

Hearing this voice beside their own ears, the Black Xuan Emperor’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

Anticipating the arrival of Jiang Yuan, he was fully alert.

For at that moment, he noticed that Jiang Yuan’s figure loomed over the surface of the river.

This fact revealed one thing: the newcomer was of the same level as himself, also an existence of the Immortal Emperor.

Only those who had reached this point and achieved unbelievable mastery of Time, merely half-step away from transcendence, could make their whole body loom above the river’s surface and be subject only to the invisible chains of the Time River.

At such a level, no matter which world one is in, one is among the top powerhouses, a half-step Transcender, and an Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse in their cultivation civilization.

Therefore, he quite agreed with Jiang Yuan’s earlier statement: indeed, there was no need to test him.

A half-step Transcender, an Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse, was not something that the middle-aged elder behind him was qualified to probe.
