The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

"Your true form sat cross-legged countless ages ago, yet before it manifested in this life, you sent down divine power and possessed the stone statue?" the woman said slowly, revealing this terrifying truth.

A king-like man, acting across countless ages, intends to prematurely annihilate future prodigies—what a terrifying thing that is!

The stone statue did not answer. It stood high above, overlooking the past, present, and future. In its eyes, Shi Yi was already a dead man.

He has already killed several promising young talents like Shi Yi.

However, compared to Shi Yi, this "big fish," the others can only be considered small fish.

"Is it really necessary? Across countless ages, risking immense karmic retribution and even the possibility of death, to eliminate an insignificant junior?" the woman sighed.

She was merely a remnant of a mark, possessing little power whatsoever. Even if she wanted to protect Shi Yi, she was powerless to do so.

"For you ants, time is like a rushing river, flowing away and never to return, irreversible, for fear of being tainted by karma. But for me, it is merely a cycle. Even if I have to pay a certain price, it is not irreversible." The stone statue spoke, without anger, very calm, with an indescribable majesty that shook the past, present, and future.

"Are you afraid? To do something so annihilating, it seems you're not as powerful as we thought."

"It's not out of fear, but simply going with the flow. Since I had some premonitions from countless ages ago, why not just erase them?" the stone statue replied calmly.

Shi Yi didn't believe it. The Crimson King was obviously overacting. It was definitely not just him communicating with the future; it was all the kings from other realms working together, but he was the one who took action.

The next moment, the woman sneered, ruthlessly exposing the Red King's words.

"That sounds nice, but it's actually the result of a group of people's deductions. How could it be just you alone?"

"Heh, going with the flow, wiping out ants in the long river of time—it's not just one of them already. Though their lives are short, they are as brilliant as fireworks." The statue sneered.

Countless chains of divine order, composed of the power of time and the power of cause and effect, appeared around him, locking the stone statue layer by layer.

Sitting cross-legged before the ages, with divine consciousness possessing the stone statue of this era, preparing to make a move, how could it be so smooth? There must be many obstacles.

However, the owner of the stone statue was too powerful, and these chains could not restrain him at all.

"boom!"

The endless chains snapped, and the stone statue smashed through all obstacles with unparalleled force. Now, he had no more scruples and could make his move.

The woman felt a sense of despair; the way the other side was acting was giving this world absolutely no chance to turn the tide.

But she still held onto a glimmer of hope.

"Aren't you afraid of being devoured by the great karmic consequences of your actions and being buried in the long river of time?"

"It's not the first one." The stone statue said indifferently, reaching its large hand out from the pile of rubble.

"You attacked him countless ages ago. Aren't you afraid that people connected to him in the future will sense it and come to kill you from the future?"

"Is it possible? If so, we can just use one to suppress it," the stone statue said arrogantly.

"You are too confident. How could a creature that deserves such targeting be simple? There must be only one way to survive."

"Heh, is that so? Then let me see if such a being truly exists." The stone statue chuckled coldly, then reached out its large hand toward Shi Yi.

Five fingers that blot out the sky and sun, though made of stone, give one an invincible feeling; all the heavens and myriad worlds, the endless sea of ​​stars, are but dust in his palm.

Shi Yi felt his whole body stiffen, his soul tremble, and he was unable to control himself. Never before had he been so close to death. Was this the killing intent of the Immortal King? Even across countless ages, it was still so terrifying.

"It's over."

The mysterious woman sighed inwardly. Her previous words were merely her last effort. Whether any future beings connected to Shi Yi would actually come to her rescue, she didn't know.

At the critical moment, an indescribable wave spread from the lower reaches of the river of time, transforming into invisible and intangible ripples that have swept across eternity.

The imposing and arrogant Crimson King statue was swept by the ripples and froze on the spot. Then, to the astonishment of Shi Yi and the woman, it disintegrated, shattering into endless sand and dust, and vanished.

"What? This is..."

The woman was utterly shocked. There really were beings connected to Shi Yi in the future who were alerted and then intervened to resolve this great calamity. However, their methods were so powerful that it was unbelievable; a single ripple swept everything away.

Shi Yi was also somewhat surprised. He had originally thought it would be one of Ruthless Man, Ye Fan, or Wu Shi, since in the future, only these three would be capable of fighting.

But judging from this, it's not like that at all.

"That's right, I told Ye Qingxian that there's no need to force the power of karma to travel through time. I imagine she must have conveyed that message after she went back, and..." A flash of inspiration struck Shi Yi, and he realized the key point.

Among the piles of rubble formed by the shattered statues, the Crimson King statue crumbled into dust, along with those statues that still retained parts of their bodies. All remnants were completely swept away, and no living being could ever reach this place through them again.

"Is it over?" the woman murmured to herself.

Logically speaking, the stone statue, the medium through which the Immortal King made his move, has been destroyed, meaning that his plan to eliminate Shi Yi has failed.

However, he is the Beast of Time, a ruler of all ages, and has kings from other lands supporting him. How could he possibly accept defeat?

The next moment, the void exploded, chaos collapsed, time dissipated, and endless rain of light emerged. At the end of heaven and earth, a blurry shadow stood out, so abrupt, ancient and terrifying, that it did not belong to this era at all.

He was moving forward, propelling the sun, moon, and stars, carrying the chaotic power of the heavens and earth, traversing the river of time, erasing the shackles of cause and effect, and was incredibly terrifying.

"It's not over yet." The woman felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that this being was serious and had directly sent out an avatar, crossing the river of time to make a powerful and domineering move.

Shi Yi remained calm, even though the aura emanating from the Crimson King's avatar was aimed at him, almost causing his body to shatter.

However, the earlier scene of the stone statue being shattered and obliterated proved that a future being was behind it all. In that case, no matter what the Crimson King did, it was all in vain.

He activated his Yin-Yang Double Pupil, attempting to make out the blurry figure, but failed. It was, after all, a giant among the Immortal Kings, tall and imposing, waving his hands to propel the stars of the heavens, moving with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, like an unparalleled emperor on a journey. His aura was terrifying; mountains and seas dried up, the sun fell, and the stars of the heavens vanished.

At this moment, the Crimson King was very surprised. He did not expect that a mere ant would actually be rescued by a living being from the lower reaches of the River of Time. Moreover, a ripple could extinguish his divine sense. This made the Crimson King, who was bursting with confidence, lose face. You must know that he had just boasted that he would also annihilate the living beings of the future.

Now, he is urging his avatar to stride through the river of time, to put into practice what he said. He does not believe that any being in the future will be able to rival him.

Suddenly, the Crimson King's incarnation let out a chilling laugh that sent shivers down everyone's spines.

"Hehe, if someone hadn't destroyed my divine sense, I would have almost missed a big fish. Now it's perfect, let's catch both fish at the same time and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Two fish?"

The woman was surprised. Was there another creature that this man had his eye on?

The vertical eye between her brows blinked as she gazed at the vast, rushing river of time. Not far downstream from where they were, in a pavilion, "her future self" and another young man stood, being watched by that terrifying being from countless ages ago.

Shi Yi also witnessed this scene. For some reason, he felt his gaze becoming increasingly sharp, and he saw things that a minor Venerable should not have seen.

Even the blurry avatar of the Crimson King gradually became clearer. It was a red-haired spirit wearing a ferocious suit of armor, with a tail on its back covered in spikes, and an aura of menace was spreading from it.

"Shi Hao?"

Shi Yi's gaze, piercing through the power of time and dispelling the fog of cause and effect, revealed Shi Hao as he picked up the wine jug.

Although the two stones were not picked up at the same time, in the eyes of the Crimson King from countless ages ago, they were the same; time was nothing more than a cycle in his eyes.

"You previously descended with divine power, intending to commit annihilation, but were obliterated by a ripple. This was already a warning. Now you have sent out an avatar, going a step further by personally descending into this world. If future beings have any knowledge, your avatar will not escape death," the mysterious woman said.

"Hehe, haha, it's surprising that someone dares to block my might. I'd like to see who it is." The Crimson King, whose divine sense had been destroyed, showed no fear. Instead, it aroused his curiosity. He wanted to see what kind of adversary would emerge in the future. If possible, he would directly take action and destroy the opponent.

The Crimson King from countless ages ago, along with the kings from other realms behind him, had just destroyed the Primordial Ancient Realm and killed dozens of Immortal Kings, including many giants who were unparalleled throughout history. Such a great victory naturally boosted their confidence to the extreme.

It was because of this battle that the kings of foreign lands began to call themselves imperial clans, using the title of immortal emperor to signify their great achievements.

Therefore, at this time, the Crimson King was unstoppable, killing gods and Buddhas alike, and he dared to fight anyone who came.

Just as the Crimson King was about to reign supreme in this world and forcefully annihilate two insignificant little fish, endless chaotic mist suddenly rose from the lower reaches of the River of Time. This was very strange; it would not be possible under normal circumstances. Clearly, this was man-made.

The Crimson King's avatar paused, sensing a chill emanating from the chaotic mist. This was a feeling the Crimson King had never experienced before, not even when facing the giants of the Primordial Ancient Realm.

"Interesting. I haven't felt this way in a long time. I'm getting more and more curious about who you are." His face lit up with excitement, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens, shaking the entire world.

Shi Yi, Shi Hao, and the mysterious woman could only resign themselves to fate. They stared at the churning chaotic mist, pondering who was standing in the future, making a move against the past.

However, after waiting for a long time, no creatures from the future appeared, but the aura grew stronger and stronger, causing the Crimson King to show a solemn expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Show yourself now? You're too arrogant. No one can stop me across countless ages." The Crimson King was slightly angry, his eyes turning extremely cold, feeling that he had been slighted.

He went straight for the point, attacking the space-time continuum of Shi Yi and Shi Hao. It was a thick arm covered in ferocious armor, and wherever it passed, the void shattered, time turned to dust, and the past and present were reversed.

This method is beyond the imagination of the world. Who would dare to wage war like this in the long river of time?

The Crimson King dared, and without hesitation, acted with unparalleled force.

However, with future beings present, he was destined to fail.

With just a single glance, he pierced through the chaotic mist and traversed countless ages, landing on the Crimson King's arm. Instantly, the armor crumbled layer by layer, and his entire arm twisted and bled.

The Crimson King was shocked. Who was he? He was the Crimson King who had slain countless Immortal Kings and destroyed the Nine Heavens. Who could have injured him to this extent with just a glance?
The damage caused by that gaze didn't stop there; his arm continued to wither and decay, like a maggot clinging to a bone, spreading towards the Crimson King's torso.

He hurriedly used unimaginable supernatural powers to isolate that great force, but unfortunately, the effect was minimal, and it did not immediately stop the trend of decay as he had imagined.

"what?"

The Crimson King looked incredulous. He couldn't believe that he would be forced into such a situation by a being from the future. Although it was just an avatar, the other party didn't even activate the avatar. He simply stood at the lower reaches of the River of Time and released his gaze, which injured him.

"Who do you think I am? Anyone who dares to be so arrogant in front of me is already dead!" the Crimson King roared.

The next moment, he revealed his true form, a colossal and boundless beast of time, whose terrifying aura swept across the heavens and the earth, shaking the past, present, and future.

The Crimson King, having gone this far, launched a powerful attack on the lower reaches of the river. As a giant, he would never suffer a loss for nothing.

"Boom!"

A ripple swept over from behind the chaotic mist, originating from a vertical eye, instantly shattering the Crimson King's attack, and then crashing into the body of the Crimson King's avatar.

"puff!"

This terrifying behemoth, which was not afraid of even the power of time or the backlash of cause and effect, flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the long river and stirring up endless waves.

The Crimson King's avatar struggled to his feet. His armor had vanished, and his hard shell was decaying, heading towards decline and becoming unsustainable.

His only achievement was seeing a vertical eye of a future being.

It was an indescribable eye; the moment it opened, endless chaotic mist overflowed, spreading across the river of time, drifting through the past, present, and future, cold and ruthless, high above, looking down upon the past and present...

In his eyes, the Crimson King looked down on him, which he found hard to accept. He was the victor of the War of the Epochs, so who could look down on him?
However, as the facts show, he could not stop his own demise. Under the watchful eyes of Shi Yi and others, he vanished into thin air and fell into the long river of time.
