Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Thousand Threads Infinite

GUSH...

In the surging River of Time, the Time Elder appeared to have countless avatars, like innumerable phantoms flickering in the flowing waters.

”You, a cultivator of the Divine Monarch Realm, must be from the Divine Land, right?” innumerable voices asked simultaneously, their sound thrilling and thunderous.

Accompanied by the roar of the river, the atmosphere was astonishingly intense.

”You also know about the Divine Land?” Ye Yun remained calm and slowly asked.

The Time Elder before him could identify the Five Great Heavenly Demon Clans and recognize the Ruyi Jade Spider. This ability alone proved his background was far from simple. Cultivators from the Divine Land, even those as esteemed as Divine King Realm experts, might not know about events from an epoch ago. After all, it was too long ago. How could a Divine King possibly live that long? Perhaps only some true old relics in the Divine Land might possess some fragmented knowledge about what happened an epoch ago. In Ye Yun’s view, an epoch is an era. The end of an epoch marks the beginning of another. Finding the civilization of the previous epoch in the current one is extremely rare. After all, few creatures could survive the brutal end of an epoch. The Time Elder before him, even if he wasn’t one who survived the last epoch, must have a significant background; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly know about the Five Great Heavenly Demon Clans.

Countless avatars of the Time Elder said with gloomy faces, ”A cultivator from the Divine Land actually found the Changhe Immortal Palace. It seems this place has attracted attention...”

”Are you scared?” Ye Yun asked with a smile.

”Scared? How could I be scared?” The Time Elder glared, sneering arrogantly. ”The Dragon Hidden Continent is permeated with the power of the Curse. Any cultivator from the Divine Land who enters will be cursed, their cultivation base stagnating forever. Only a fool like you would enter the Changhe Immortal Palace at the cost of your cultivation base stagnating! HAHA!”

The Time Elder burst into rampant laughter. As he laughed, the River of Time surged even more fiercely, its momentum astonishing.

”Time Elder, you are indeed arrogant. Do you think that just because you have countless avatars, I can do nothing to you?” Ye Yun’s eyelids drooped as he spoke indifferently.

”What can you do to me?” The Time Elder looked up and laughed heartily. ”This River of Time flows endlessly, and my avatars are everywhere within it. Never mind you with your Divine Monarch Realm cultivation base; even if ten Divine Kings came, they would also be hamstrung in this River of Time!”

”Alright then, I’ll play with you properly!” Ye Yun grinned.

”HAHA, such big words! Let me see what gives you the confidence to say such things!” the Time Elder laughed, a hint of savagery in his eyes.

At that moment, he looked as if he had transformed into an Unparalleled Fierce Beast; that savage gaze was nothing a human could possess.

”Thousand Threads!” Ye Yun uttered a low command.

Behind him, a silver ball of light suddenly appeared. This ball of silver light, only about one zhang in size, bloomed with dazzling radiance.

TSS! TSS!

The silver light orb rotated constantly, shooting out countless fine silver threads, like strands of hair. The silver threads that shot out were innumerable, beyond measure.

TSS...

Endless silver threads, possessing an incredible spirituality, constantly extended, entering the vast River of Time. The overwhelming power of the River of Time, when faced with these silver threads, was unable to grind them into particles.

”This Divine Skill is somewhat interesting, but it’s far from enough to deal with my limitless avatars...” the Time Elder sneered.

”Limitless!” Ye Yun formed a hand seal and shouted once more.

TSS...

The silver orb, while rotating rapidly, suddenly expanded, growing from one zhang in size to one hundred zhang. A gigantic light orb, one hundred zhang in size, emanated dazzling radiance as it rotated at high speed, shooting out even more silver threads. The silver threads appeared to be infinitely long, seemingly without end.

These resilient silver threads entered the River of Time. Some surged upstream, some flowed downstream, some charged headlong, and others danced up and down. Amidst the churning waters, they launched a frenzied assault on the Time Elder’s countless avatars.

POP! POP!

With a series of soft popping sounds, some of the Time Elder’s avatars, pierced or sliced by the silver threads, vanished instantly.

Ye Yun’s expression remained calm, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

The Time Elder’s avatars seemed countless, but in reality, many of them possessed relatively weak cultivation bases. This was true for ninety percent of them. To put it bluntly, those avatars were mere window dressing.

Previously, inside the Cloud Mark Cave, Ye Yun had used this Thousand Threads Divine Skill to force out the true body of the Immortal Divine Silkworm. Now, in the River of Time, Ye Yun once again employed the Thousand Threads Divine Skill. And this time, he unleashed Thousand Threads Infinite. Thousand Threads Infinite is one of the most formidable killing moves within the Thousand Threads Divine Skill. Once this Divine Skill was unleashed, countless silver threads could permeate every corner of the universe, leaving no place for anyone to hide. Ye Yun generally didn’t use the Thousand Threads Divine Skill. The issue was that its destructive power was too immense. Its area of effect was also seemingly boundless and overwhelmingly terrifying. Each thread of the Thousand Threads Divine Skill was extremely resilient and sharp, possessing not only formidable cutting power but also potent piercing strength. If not fatal, a hit would result in critical injuries.

”This...” Staring at the endless silver threads rapidly surging out from the one-hundred-zhang-high light orb, the Time Elder was stunned.

He had lived for so long. He knew of countless Divine Techniques, yet he had never witnessed such a terrifying Divine Skill.

Watching his avatars being annihilated one after another by the silver threads within the River of Time, the Time Elder’s heart bled.

”Changhe Immortal Palace!” the Time Elder roared in anger.

The enormous Changhe Immortal Palace erupted with brilliant light, charging towards the silver light orb behind Ye Yun to suppress it.

”Immobilize!” Ye Yun uttered, pointing a finger.

The colossal Changhe Immortal Palace was frozen in place.

Is this fellow still in the Divine Monarch Realm? How does he possess so many bizarre Divine Skills? Seeing the Changhe Immortal Palace immobilized, the Time Elder began to panic.

His true body was fleeing upstream along the River of Time.

Instinctively, the Time Elder felt that was the safest place.

TSS! TSS!

The endless silver threads surged with a mighty momentum, in no way inferior to the vast River of Time itself. It seemed as though every corner of the River of Time was now filled with silver threads. One avatar after another was severed or punctured by the silver threads, then vanished into thin air.

Within Ye Yun’s gaze, minuscule, star-like runes continually flickered. He looked around, searching for the Time Elder’s true body.

Fleeing upstream in the River of Time? Ye Yun murmured softly to himself.

He saw one avatar swiftly fleeing upstream in the River of Time, on the verge of disappearing from his sight in the blink of an eye. As for the other avatars, most had already been obliterated by Ye Yun.

Ye Yun deduced that this avatar, nine times out of ten, had to be the Time Elder’s true body.

”Where do you think you’re going?” Ye Yun sneered coldly. He strode upon the surging, tumultuous River of Time, giving chase directly.

Behind him, the one-hundred-zhang silver light orb rotated at high speed, ejecting one silver thread after another. These innumerable threads, faster even than Ye Yun, shot towards the Time Elder to ensnare him.
