578: Chapter 597: Reversing the River of Time, Breaking the Ancient and Modern Heaven and Earth (Four Updates) 578: Chapter 597: Reversing the River of Time, Breaking the Ancient and Modern Heaven and Earth (Four Updates) “Heavenly Dao revolves, bringing life and death,” Nuwa spoke calmly, void of any intention to intervene and save him.

“If Ye Xuan truly perishes and his Dao dissolves, that too would be his own destiny.”

“Master!”

Upon hearing Nuwa’s words, tears streamed down from the eyes of the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden.

But before she could continue pleading, she was already immobilized at Nuwa’s side, unable to utter even a whisper of entreaty.

“Ye Xuan, are you truly the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint?” Nuwa murmured, her eyes flickering with a hint of doubt.

In truth, from beginning to end, the so-called grand gathering at the Nuwa Palace was less of a celebration and more of a trial by the Saint Nuwa for Ye Xuan.

Nuwa had long suspected that Ye Xuan might be the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint.

If he were indeed so, then surely he would survive the ordeal of a Quasi-Saint.

For Heavenly Dao would not allow him to die in vain at the hands of a Quasi-Saint and would instead leave him with a sliver of hope for life.

But if Ye Xuan was not the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint, then his annihilation at the hands of a Quasi-Saint would just be that, which could also be interpreted as Saint Nuwa using someone else’s hand to carry out a killing.

The thoughts of a Saint are unfathomable, and no one knows Nuwa’s true intentions.

However, Nuwa continuously sensed the changes in Heavenly Dao, for only if Heavenly Dao presented a thread of life could Ye Xuan survive the hands of a Quasi-Saint.

This thread of life could be the calamity of a Quasi-Saint, the thunder of divine punishment, or perhaps, mysteriously, another Quasi-Saint might be arranged to appear, saving Ye Xuan.

Any of these would be the Heavenly Dao’s thread of life for Ye Xuan and would indirectly prove that he is the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint.

Regrettably, as Nuwa sensed the fluctuations of Heavenly Dao, she felt no change in it, let alone any life-saving opportunity for Ye Xuan.

“Alas!”

A touch of disappointment crossed Nuwa’s eyes as she let out a profound and long sigh.

In the Chaos Arena, the Ancestral Master of All Poisons had already struck a palm towards Ye Xuan, and yet, even at the moment of Ye Xuan’s impending perishment, Heavenly Dao did not manifest any thread of life for him.

This let Nuwa understand that Ye Xuan was not the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint.

If not a Saint, then an ant.

Since Heavenly Dao had not manifested life, Ye Xuan’s fate was no different from that of an ant in the eyes of Nuwa, and she returned once more to a state of tranquil impassivity.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Nuwa uttered a sound of astonishment.

The Ancestral Master of All Poisons had not struck down Ye Xuan, but had instead inexplicably frozen on the spot as if turned into a clay puppet.

“What’s going on?”

Nuwa’s expression shifted subtly.

She extended her delicate fingers and continuously calculated the shifts in Heavenly fate, but Heavenly Dao showed no change, everything was running on its normal course.

“Something is wrong, this is odd!”

All Method Immunity, impervious to all calamities, Nuwa was one of the six Great Saints between Heaven and Earth, known as the mightiest being.

Yet no matter how she speculated on the changes in Heavenly Dao, there was not the slightest response.

Why then had the Ancestral Master of All Poisons suddenly ceased his attack, not killing Ye Xuan?

In the midst of her doubts, her Saint Heart wavered.

Nuwa stopped her calculations and instead looked towards the Chaos Arena, hoping to discover the reason why the Ancestral Master of All Poisons had not killed Ye Xuan.

Inside the Chaos Arena.

The Ancestral Master of All Poisons stood as if made of clay, his eyes immovable, and droplets of cold sweat continuously emerged on his forehead.

It was not that he did not want to exterminate Ye Xuan, but at the moment when he was about to do so, an indescribable fear emerged in his mind, freezing him in place as though a great terror, timeless as the heavens, was looking down upon him from beyond the Chaos, rendering him completely incapable of any rash action.

Thump!

Suddenly, high above the Nine Heavens Starry Sky, perhaps Nuwa had noticed something.

With a delicate flick of her jade-like fingers, a beam of Holy Light fell directly upon the body of the venomous elder, lightening her entire being as her body returned to its normal state.

“Die!”

The venomous elder was not foolish—upon sensing the will of the Saint Nuwa, her face twisted into a fearsome and terrible snarl as she slapped her palm down towards Ye Xuan’s forehead.

Had this strike been true, Ye Xuan’s soul would certainly have scattered to oblivion.

Thump——Thump——Thump.

Suddenly, across the Taihao Starry Sky, the eight directions of Heaven and Earth, the faint sound of footsteps echoed, instantly freezing the venomous elder in her tracks, as even the fabric of space and time seemed to halt utterly.

It wasn’t just the venomous elder who was frozen; all the Great Divine Power wielders too found their movements and thoughts abruptly suspended.

Wrong, it wasn’t these individuals who were fixed in place, but the time of the entire Heaven and Earth that had stopped.

Look, even the usually ceaseless rotation of the great stars had halted, and the waves of the Hanhai Star River also stood still, clearly indicating that the flow of time in this realm had ceased.

If there was anyone unaffected by this, it was only the Saint Nuwa, who resided above the Nine Heavens Starry Sky!

However, at that moment, the visage of Saint Nuwa dramatically changed.

Her form, which remained unchanging through the eons, now abruptly stood up, her gaze piercing through the stagnant starry sky in all directions, her eyes revealing a shade of extreme horror and an indescribable tension.

Time was at a standstill, the Great Dao unseen, Nuwa herself, although a Saint, had never heard of such a technique; it was beyond her wildest imagination and caused her great terror.

Woosh woosh woosh!

Like the flow of the River of Time through eternal ages, as if reversing the eras of the Eternal Times, the sound of time’s surging waves echoed through the eight directions of Heaven and Earth.

A River of Time manifested itself within the Taihao Starry Sky, and a blurred figure seemed to reverse the River of Time, walking from the future into the present.

Crossing the barriers of time, upending the River of Time, this solitary and desolate figure strode forward, the waves of Time beneath his feet propelling him directly into the Chaos Arena and standing beside Ye Xuan.

“Who art thou, Daoist?”

Nuwa uttered in shock, attempting to contain her panic, but her trembling voice betrayed her anxious state of mind.

“Through the ages, the Dao walks alone.

The cause and effect of today have arisen; tomorrow, he will surely come to settle accounts with you.”

The mysterious shadow spoke with an ancient voice, casting an indifferent glance at Nuwa before silently regarding the unconscious Ye Xuan with a touch of melancholy in his eyes.

“The Heavenly path is arduous, all things face extinction; you and I originate from the same source, can we transcend?”

The mysterious figure murmured forlornly, and without any discernible movement, the venomous elder was scattered into ash, vanishing into the void as if this individual had never existed in this world.

“Reversed the flow of the River of Time, shattered the ancient and modern Heaven and Earth, I am to face a dire calamity in the future, can you of today change what is to come?”

The mysterious figure smiled sadly, never once looking back at Saint Nuwa from beginning to end, as if the so-called Saints were of no consequence in his eyes.

When he rose once again to tread the heavens, the reversed River of Time started flowing once more, the mysterious figure dissipated amidst Heaven and Earth.

Boom boom boom!

In the Taihao Starry Sky and the Hanhai Star River, the great stars resumed their revolution, the boundless Star Sea churned once more, and the thoughts of the Great Divine Power wielders suddenly snapped back as this realm of Heaven and Earth resumed its course, with only the Saint Nuwa standing motionless in the depths of the starry void, her entire being as if turned to clay, silent and motionless.
