Chapter 2576: Chapter 530: The River of Time
Suddenly, one by one, the human cultivators originally flying in front looked at the aliens pursuing from behind, abruptly turning around and flying backward while shouting, "You go first! I’ve lived long enough, and I’m satisfied. You’re still young; hurry and escape!"
"That’s right, I’ve lived long enough, too. For so many years, I’ve been unable to progress an inch. Even if I survive, I won’t be of much use to our Great Teaching or to our Human Clan. But you are different, you are young, you are the hope of our Human Clan. Run quickly!"
"Disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, make sure to safely escort Sect Leader Cao away!"
"Why are the people of the Hundred Peaks Sect staying behind? Didn’t you hear? You’re supposed to go first! Do you want our sacrifices to be in vain?"
"You are all Heavenly Pride; you can become the pillars of our Human Clan in the future. Go quickly! Do not make unnecessary sacrifices!"
One after another, the human cultivators shouted as they charged toward the aliens, accompanied by deafening explosions of fearsome power.
The disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, even Ruo Yun who had reincarnated, all had reddened eyes at this moment. These cultivators could clearly survive, yet for the sake of the entire Human Clan, they chose to return and self-destruct, exchanging their lives to buy time.
Li Ke and her group also wanted to stay and fight for the Human Clan, but they knew that if they stayed, more people would sacrifice themselves for them. They could only flee; the faster they escaped, the fewer would perish!
But even with many from the Human Clan helping them, they were still hunted one by one by the aliens.
It wasn’t just them; the entire Eastern Province, and even the other three states, had been breached by aliens. Alien races hunted the human cultivators crazily; once they annihilate the cultivators, they would turn to the ordinary people.
Thankfully, the Evil Clan, due to their Great Thousand World being breached, hastily left the Human Clan’s Great Thousand World; otherwise, the situation for the Human Clan would have been much more dangerous.
However, after the Evil Clan departed, there remained the traitors from within the Human Clan.
Various great teachings acted as guides, leading the aliens to break through the Human Clan’s sacred teachings. These aliens weren’t foolish. Not only did the sixth prince of the Sky Clan use deceit to win over cowardly humans, but other members of the Sky Clan thought of similar tactics.
As the lines of defense in the states and Central Continent were breached, they transformed into living hell, where cultivators died tragically by alien hands, and some even at the hands of their peers.
Especially with these aliens emerging from major perilous grounds, attacking from different locations in each state, leaving everyone with nowhere to hide.
Some cultivators still resisted desperately, yet many, though not surrendering, displayed expressions of despair.
"Is our Human Clan truly doomed to extinction?"
"Even now, we have nowhere to escape!"
"These aliens want to exterminate us completely!"
"There are so many aliens; how can we possibly resist!"
While many cultivators had fallen into complete despair.
Suddenly, the void ripped open, revealing a long river in the sky.
The moment the river appeared, all cultivators’ eyes were irresistibly drawn to it.
The broad and majestic river flowed clearly and peacefully, with the scenery along its banks constantly changing.
It seemed to be the far ancient Primordial Era, where heaven and earth unfolded, birthing various life races, including those known to cultivators, the Chaos Clan, Mystic Clan, Immortal Tribe, many unknown races, and also the Human Clan...
This river appeared to encapsulate the entire world’s history, magnificent, grand, spectacular, and mysterious, deeply enticing every cultivator to explore and ponder.
At the same time, the river imparted a feeling of time’s irreversible passage to the cultivators.
This river, heavy and profound, carried endless history and civilization.
"The River of Time!"
Some cultivators suddenly realized.
"It’s the legendary River of Time!"
"Why would the River of Time suddenly appear in the void?"
In the next moment, a blurred figure emerged within the River of Time.
Human and alien True Immortal Realm experts alike widened their eyes, filled with shock as they looked at the figure. Although blurred, they could still discern.
"Grand Preceptor?"
"The Human Clan’s Grand Preceptor?"
"Town Immortal Grand Preceptor?"
The Grand Preceptor wandered the River of Time as if searching for something; then he suddenly extended a hand. In an instant, the giant hand expanded through the River of Time, reaching for a specific location.
The hand seemed composed of darkness, carrying infinite power and a mysterious aura.
As it extended, the surface of the River of Time began to tremble, emitting a hissing sound, as if foreshadowing something terrifying about to happen.
With the hand’s extension, the center of the River of Time gradually split open, forming a vast gap. On either side of the gap was pitch-black space, obscure and blurry, seemingly hiding boundless secrets and unknown power.
