Chapter 280 - 35: The River of Time, Appear!

Chapter 280: Chapter 35: The River of Time, Appear!

Liang Hui stood under the heavy snow, chuckled softly, and chose no longer to argue.

His gaze fixed on the woman, he posed the purpose of his visit.

"After the divine lineage, what is a Heavenly Human?"

"Heavenly Human?"

The woman fell silent, her eyes filled with haze as if recalling the past.

A moment later.

The woman reached out her hand, watching the snowflakes that fell through her palm to the earth, without immediately responding.

Instead, she spoke of something else.

"I have always been filled with regret and sorrow that during His Majesty’s conquest, I should have been by his side, rather than letting him face everything alone."

"The outcome wouldn’t have changed."

"I know, but going and not going are different to me."

The woman murmured, her eyes glistening with a trace of crystal clarity.

It was the companionship from insignificance to the peak, supporting each other as companions, confidants, and lovers.

Liang Hui fell silent, and the air too sank into quietude.

After a long while.

The woman spoke again, her voice filled with a chilling coldness.

"Indeed, you are not my Divine Emperor Your Majesty."

At the same time, petals composed of Taoism Principle descended from the starry sky.

The petals were crystal clear, carrying a strange fragrance that made the woman appear even more transcendent.

A domineering, majestic, and regal aura burst forth from the ethereal figure.

The one standing before Liang Hui was no longer a joking, powerless woman but an Imperial Consort who had shattered the heavens and demons and destroyed great realms.

"The so-called Heavenly Human is..."

Boom! The rumbling thunder!

The entire world was instantly filled with golden thunderbolts, an aura of destruction permeating heaven and earth.

Liang Hui’s expression turned grave, the content the woman was about to speak was evidently of extreme importance, so much so that even time and space could not tolerate it, attempting to stop her.

’Su Yao’ ignored the sky full of lightning, reached out her hand, and waved it lightly.

In an instant, all the thunderbolts disappeared, as if nothing had happened just before.

The woman parted her red lips and uttered a single word.

"Tai..."

Boom! The sound of crashing waves!

The sky and earth turned upside down, accompanied by roaring waves, as the figures of the two vanished.

A river emerged beneath them, boundless and endless, ethereal and real interwoven.

No matter how hard one tried to perceive it, they couldn’t fathom a single ’drop of sea water’!

Every wave that rose brought the silence and rebirth of entire worlds, as well as contained the lifetimes of outstanding figures.

"The River of Time!"

Liang Hui murmured, watching the black-dressed figure drifting downstream with the river.

The woman looked bewildered, as if the reaction of the River of Time exceeded her expectations.

But, the next moment, her eyes shone with a brilliant divine light, as if she had thought of something.

She made her move.

Boom! The rumbling thunder!

Patches and patches of the river turned into void, a stretch of time was nearly severed, moving toward Liang Hui’s position, wishing to return once again.

"Tai..."

The intermittent voice came through, but the content that followed was unclear to Liang Hui.

On the River of Time, bolts of lightning appeared, carrying an aura of destruction and Taoism Principle, striking down on that graceful figure.

Submerging it in the lightning.

"Tai!"

Liang Hui whispered to himself, what exactly did this word represent, and what was the content that followed, causing such an enormous reaction.

To make the River of Time appear, to prevent ’Su Yao’ from continuing to speak.

It happened with Song Xi who emerged from the lower stream of time, and now with Su Yao.

Related to the breakthrough of the Heavenly Human Realm? Or something else?

Liang Hui’s mind was filled with various thoughts.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Louder wave sounds came from downstream, unknown when the lightning had already solidified.

A figure in a black dress materialized from the lower stream of time, standing in the future, gazing at the young man.

This figure was solid and real, with an odd demonic quality, her eyes filled with extreme anger, as if ready to burn everything to ashes.

With snow-white bare feet, she stepped over the crystal-clear river water, approaching with each step.

Thunder may rage, time may flow, but none could halt her fleeting silhouette for even a moment.

Crack!

Bare feet split open, blood began to flow, scattering across the vast expanses of time and space.

Yet her steps never ceased.

Halfway there, her bare feet were soaked red, flesh blurred and bones chillingly exposed.

Crack upon crack spread across her body, as if it could fully splinter apart at any moment.

The slender silhouette, as if oblivious to her own injuries, continued upstream.

A jade hand emerged from her sleeve, catching a wisp of shadow.

Crack! Crack!

The fissures on her body grew larger.

"Enough," a soft whisper drifted across the River of Time.

At some point, a hazy silhouette appeared downstream, domineering and fervent, like a midday sun blazing across the sky.

"Pu!"

Amidst a sound of scornful laughter, her footsteps did not falter.

Crack! Crack! Bang!

Half of her body suddenly burst open, blood spread across the river, huge waves churning on the River of Time.

At this moment, the blood-covered silhouette was only a short distance away from Liang Hui.

"Enough, do you wish to fall?" Liang Hui pressed his palm against the hilt of his sword, his expression grave.

"Just a bit of wind and frost, I alone am enough," she said quietly, gazing at the youth in the blue robe, the anger in her eyes gradually fading, replaced by a misty haze.

...

In the glorious Divine Court, the youth clad in a blue robe, gazed upon the Vast Boundary Sea.

"Hui, you’re setting out to conquer again. Let’s do it together."

"Just a few foes, I alone am enough," said the youth, as he turned around, sweeping his hand over her dark silk hair, smiling as he spoke.

...

The confusion in her eyes dispersed, turning into determination.

At that moment, her body grew even more indistinct.

"I don’t know if you are him, but you’re all I can find."

She paused, and suddenly her body swelled up, blocking the vast flowing River.

Her voice drowned out the thunder, pierced through the years, and reached directly into the depths of the youth’s heart.

"Be careful, the Tai....."

"...ji..., heav..."

Boom! Thunderous roar!!

The woman’s body suddenly exploded, turning into a vast expanse of blood, swallowed up, ground to dust, and slashed into ashes.

And Liang Hui returned to the Divine Court in the very first instance.

The moon above remained the same, but minus one silhouette and a snowfall.

Gazing at the emptiness before him.

Liang Hui withdrew his hand from the sword hilt, looking up at the moon in the sky.

"Snow!"

With a thought, snowflakes began to fall once again in the Divine Court.

Feeling the coolness of the snow on his skin, his thoughts became clearer.

He walked over to the Coiling Dragon Column where ’she’ had once leaned and rested against it.

He pondered the information he had just received.

"Taiji, heav...."

His eyes grew more profound, the fog lifting partially.

The Heavenly Human Realm, the realm he created in the future memories during his cultivation, how could he not have speculated about it?

Especially after overcoming the world with his fists, he began contemplating this realm even more.

Combining the knowledge of the Three Realms—past life, present life, the Heavenly Demon Realm—he already had some ideas.

That was Taiji.

Tai, meaning great, ji, meaning extremity.

When things reach an extreme, they transform; transformation is the source, and that source is Taiji.

Taiji, which originated from Zhuangzi and later appeared in the I Ching, has nearly been perfected through generations of sages’ explanations.

Guided by this, opening the way of the Heavenly Human seemed feasible to him.

The path he might have forged in the future could very well be this way of the Heavenly Human.
