Chapter 1260: Chapter 539 In Heaven and Earth, Unrivaled in the World! (Grand Finale)_3 Chapter 1260: Chapter 539 In Heaven and Earth, Unrivaled in the World! (Grand Finale)_3 That was an existence on the same level as him.

“Since he’s not qualified, then let me do it!” the Black Xuan Emperor said coldly.

The next moment.

He stepped on the surface of the water on the deck, his figure shifted, and he swept towards Jiang Yuan.

…

A moment later.

Jiang Yuan continued to move forward.

The battleship behind him slowly sank into the Time River.

As for the creatures on the battleship, all had been executed.

Jiang Yuan felt the energy inside his body surge significantly and nodded in satisfaction.

“A Half-step Transcender really does have the energy of a small world!” Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

At this moment, his heart was completely at ease.

After the exchange of blows just now, he had gauged the strength of the so-called Half-step Transcenders.

Compared to his current strength, they were nothing worth mentioning, easily suppressed with a lift of his hand.

This huge gap could not be bridged simply by numbers.

He also knew he was truly invincible now!

Looking down the main and tributary currents of the Time River, upstream and downstream, he was now truly unrivaled in the world.

This was somewhat unexpected for him, yet it was within his expectations.

Because he had just reviewed the Black Xuan Emperor’s panel.

The Black Xuan Emperor had only four golden Innate Energy Luck strands and no red Innate Energy Luck strands.

While he himself now possessed a full sixteen red Innate Energy Luck strands.

This was a state of absolute domination.

Such a huge gap in talent and potential made it seem like he was on the same level with the Black Xuan Emperor in terms of Cultivation Realm and life, but in reality, they were worlds apart.

Thinking this, he felt that it was only natural for him to be able to suppress the Black Xuan Emperor with a hand’s move.

If he could not do this, that would actually be the strange thing.

…

After a short while.

Jiang Yuan also saw the Imperial Pass, the checkpoint standing at the entrance of the river.

Walking on the Emperor’s Pass, hidden under the river’s surface.

Jiang Yuan also discovered an existence that still had a trace of breath.

“Who?”

A weak voice reached Jiang Yuan’s ears.

Jiang Yuan heard this and did not speak, but continued walking forward.

He was not unfamiliar with this Imperial Pass because he had seen all the memories of the Heavenly Emperor.

Naturally, he knew the Imperial Pass.

After the Heavenly Emperor built the dam, he also constructed this Imperial Pass, leaving behind the Heavenly Court and all the subordinates who had followed him into battle.

The dam was established to prevent Half-step Transcenders from entering this tributary of the Time River; beings below Half-step Transcenders could still enter this tributary.

Such potential threats also required defenses, thus the Imperial Pass was created.

All those subordinates left by Heaven and Earth were tasked with defending this place, not allowing any enemies to flow downstream into the lower realms of Heaven and Earth.

As Jiang Yuan drew near.

The dying Three-eyed Divine General slowly opened his eyes.

The next moment.

The barely open eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the approaching Jiang Yuan with a look of surprise and joy.

“Is… is that the Heavenly Emperor?”

Jiang Yuan came to his side without saying a word.

His palm lightly touched the injured spot, and his brows slightly furrowed.

The Three-eyed Divine General, looking at the Jiang Yuan’s face close at hand, was instantly moved and sorrowful.

“Heavenly Emperor, all brothers have died in battle!!”

“I have failed the Emperor’s decree, failing to protect the Imperial Pass, letting the enemy go downstream!”

As he spoke, the Three-eyed Divine General lifted his hand, struggling to reach towards Jiang Yuan.

“Is it the Heavenly Emperor?” he asked again.

Jiang Yuan, wordless, watched him for several breaths, observed his grieving gaze, then slowly reached out and grasped his extended right hand.

“I have arrived!”

“So the Heavenly Emperor really did come, it wasn’t my illusion!”

“Heavenly Emperor, all brothers have died in battle!” the Three-eyed Divine General repeated that phrase, his expression filled with sorrow.

Jiang Yuan held his hand and nodded slowly, “You did well! It’s just that I arrived late!”

“I have failed the Emperor’s decree, failing to protect the Imperial Pass, letting the enemy go downstream!”

Jiang Yuan said, “Don’t worry! I have avenged you, the one who inflicted the severe injury on you has already been dispatched by me ahead of you!”

“That’s good! That’s good!!” the Three-eyed Divine General muttered to himself.

As he spoke, his breath grew weaker and weaker, and the third eye on his forehead slowly closed.

Watching this scene, with the life thread of the Three-eyed Divine General in front of him growing faint, Jiang Yuan felt a tinge of complexity in his heart.

He knew this Three-eyed Divine General well; he was known as the strongest divine general in the Heavenly Court.

During the era of the Heavenly Court, he was also a powerhouse who stepped into the Forbidden Domain and was ranked among the Heavenly Lords.

This man was the most trusted and heavily relied upon confidant of the Heavenly Emperor.

When constructing the Imperial Pass, the Heavenly Emperor also entrusted the heavy responsibility of its defense to this Three-eyed Divine General.

From what he had seen now, this Three-eyed Divine General had taken on the Heavenly Emperor’s charge and had been defending the Imperial Pass ever since.

Until earlier, with the fall of that Heavenly Emperor and the collapse of the dam he had built, beings of the Immortal Emperor level entered this tributary, and the Imperial Pass was declared breached.

This Three-eyed Divine General also died in battle here, and his injuries, as Jiang Yuan had just examined, were beyond recovery.

After more than ten breaths had passed.

The life fire of the Three-eyed Divine General flickered tenuously before suddenly extinguishing.

“Sigh–”
Jiang Yuan sighed lightly and slowly stood up.

Looking around, the entire Imperial Pass was covered with the marks of blades and axes.

These traces left by swords and various weapons were filled with the sediment of time.

At his feet, rubble tumbled and walls collapsed, and the ground was stained with blood, showing all the signs of a fierce battle that had taken place.
