Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

The birth and death of ordinary eras and the collapse of heaven and earth cannot erase it.

What surprised Jiang Hao even more was that he could now clearly perceive the slowly flowing river of time, meaning he could now step into the river of time without the Golden Bell.

A look of astonishment flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes: "Outrageous!"

"This level of influence over the river of time is something that even many Immortal Kings haven't achieved, yet I've already reached this level before even becoming an Immortal King. The Dao Fruit Method is truly a strange mechanism."

The mechanism of the Dao Fruit Method once again satisfied Jiang Hao.

"Unfortunately, it is only the perfected legend, not the Creation Realm. It cannot drastically alter the past and future, nor can it deeply interfere with spacetime."

Despite this, Jiang Hao felt no disappointment. The path of cultivation has its own layers of barriers, and the realm itself has its limits.

If the perfection of the legend allows one to manipulate time and space at will and alter the past and present, then what is the point of the later Creation Realm and Immortal King Realm?

Jiang Hao's eyes gleamed slightly, and boundless anticipation arose in his heart: when he one day ascended to the Immortal King realm and further developed the Dao Fruit Technique to the Creation Realm, he would be able to truly roam through time and space. This was very likely to be realized, after all, even at the peak of the Legendary Realm, one already possessed the ability to defy realms. With the unique mechanism of the Dao Fruit Technique, how powerful would one become if one reached the Creation Realm?

"Could this be the reason why I might be able to travel between the past and the future?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao couldn't help but feel a strong sense of anticipation. He was very interested in the past, especially the Chaotic Ancient Era and the so-called Era of the Fall of the Emperors.

He wanted to visit and experience those eras, and he wanted to see the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Emperor when he was a child, that adorable little baby.

Moreover, Jiang Hao's primordial spirit has also undergone a transformation. At this moment, his primordial spirit is capable of carrying the entire information flow of a universe from its birth, evolution to its end, with countless causal threads clearly defined and thoroughly understood.

With a single glance, he could see countless parallel universes and their selves, clearly distinguishing between myriad avatars and his one true self. His Dao heart was steadfast and flawless, never losing its way; Jiang Hao's mind and spirit were crystal clear.

"Now that it is perfected, the Dao heart is without flaws, the cause and effect are without doubts, and the self is without loss. From now on, no illusions can invade, no cause and effect can be disordered, the true self is unique, eternally fixed and immortal."

"This is the true fulfillment of the legend."

"Break free from the shackles of active seeking, become your own source, your projection will never fade, and your true self will be eternal."

Jiang Hao was in a great mood and couldn't help but recite a poem.

"To evade fate and avoid cause and effect, all kinds of shackles bind the true self."

"Following the will of Heaven and accepting the consequences of karma, I finally know who I am today."

"Once you attain enlightenment and see your true self, what fear is there of the old shackles?"

"The shackles of this world are but a dream, formless, shapeless, and without self."

Having adapted to the perfect transformation of the legendary attributes, Jiang Hao slowly stretched out his true spirit and looked down.

At this moment, Jiang Hao's vision was different from any other time. His vision seemed boundless and could extend infinitely, as if it had transcended all limitations.

Jiang Hao lowered his gaze slightly, first seeing the vast mountains and rivers of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, then crossing the barriers of time and space to see the Supreme Holy Realm floating in the chaos, and then spreading outwards, taking in the layers of the Great Thousand Worlds and the boundless myriad realms.

Countless worlds appeared clearly in his eyes. Places that used to require traversing vast amounts of time and space to reach were now laid out before him, as if they were within reach. This feeling of overlooking all realms and having all living beings and the world at his fingertips was indescribable.

Not only that, Jiang Hao even saw the Boundary Sea. It was not an ordinary body of water, but a vast ocean formed by the remnants of countless eras after their destruction.

Within each wave lies a shattered ancient realm, carrying endless traces of time, raging gales, and lurking killing intent.

"Is this the Boundary Sea?"

Jiang Hao gazed at this vast and boundless sea, a deep interest stirring within him.

The Boundary Sea is not actually a sea; it's just that the area is so vast that even a large world would feel insignificant here, like a drop of water compared to the ocean. That's why it's called the Boundary Sea.

Jiang Hao had always heard that the Boundary Sea was an extremely unique region among all the heavens, a place where powerful beings from all the heavens gathered, and also the final resting place of countless powerful beings.

Even though the Boundary Sea is fraught with danger, and even Immortal Kings could perish if they stepped into it, generation after generation of powerful individuals still flock there without hesitation.

Because it is rumored that the ultimate opportunity to break through to the realm and become an emperor is hidden deep in the Boundary Sea, countless powerful people want to cross the Boundary Sea to pursue a higher level of the Great Dao.

Jiang Hao sighed softly, "The Boundary Sea is truly vast and unique, hiding endless secrets."

Jiang Hao continued, his perspective constantly expanding, slowly reaching beyond the heavens and arriving at the mysterious place—above the heavens.

"Huh? It's actually possible to see this far?"

Jiang Hao was quite surprised, for this was something beyond the heavens, a being that transcended all other realms.

Above the heavens, above all realms, transcending the cycle of time and existence, eternally existing, it is said that even a speck of dust falling from the heavens can evolve into a complete universe.

The laws governing this realm are far more advanced than those of the heavens below.

The first thing Jiang Hao noticed when he saw the Heavenly Realm was its vastness and power; the Heavenly Realm was truly boundless and far surpassed all other heavens.

Then there is strength. Jiang Hao saw many strong individuals whose quality far surpassed that of all the other realms.

Jiang Hao gazed intently at this transcendent place, muttering to himself, "This is the ultimate realm above all heavens, truly living up to its name."

The second thing you see is ruin. Yes, the so-called heaven above, the so-called supreme holy land of cultivation, is now in ruins.

The outline of heaven and earth is vast and boundless. Countless ancient sacred mountains are broken and standing on the earth. Giant remnants of Taoist platforms are crisscrossed. Dried-up blood-red rivers and crumbling immortal temples can be seen everywhere.

Ancient Dao patterns floated in the air, and the aura of the Great Dao left behind by the most powerful beings lingered for a long time.

The laws here are far more advanced than those of the heavens below; even a wisp of Daoist aura is enough to crush an ordinary Immortal King.

This land, which should have been a supreme and pure land, is now filled with the ruins left by war. A sense of desolation and ominous unease are intertwined. It may seem vast and boundless, but there are undercurrents surging within, and an unimaginable crisis is lurking beneath.

Jiang Hao gazed at the desolate scene above, tainted by ominous undercurrents, and his heart sank. He let out a long, soft sigh.

"Could it be that even the supreme holy land above the heavens, rumored to be the highest place in all the realms, has completely fallen? This strange race is far too powerful!"

Jiang Hao's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed with a heavy weight, and an unprecedented pressure swept over his entire body.

Previously, his understanding of the strange race always left room for estimation, but now, seeing the desolation and death of the heavens with his own eyes, he finally realized that he had far underestimated the terrifying potential of this race.

This is the highest heaven, the source of all heavens since ancient times. Throughout the vast ages, more than one supreme immortal emperor must have been born here to oversee it.

Even the Celestial Realm, which boasts at least several Immortal Emperors, ultimately could not withstand the invasion of the strange race, and its land was ravaged and destroyed.

"Even the heavens, guarded by multiple Immortal Emperors, couldn't stop them. Just how powerful and heaven-defying is this strange race? No wonder the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Emperor never appeared again after severing eternity with a single sword strike. This group of people is truly terrifying."

After a long while, Jiang Hao suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and his gaze became increasingly firm and sharp.

"It seems that my journey is still long and arduous."

"My current cultivation speed is still too slow, and my strength is still too weak. I must be faster and stronger!"

Jiang Hao decided that he would work even harder and speed things up from now on.

If others knew Jiang Hao's thoughts, they would be furious. You, who walk the path of immortality in the mortal world, on such a difficult and time-consuming path of cultivation, not only succeeded in your cultivation but also reached the pinnacle of immortality that no one has ever reached before.

It's only been a few hundred thousand years to become a Celestial King, and you still think it's too slow? Since ancient times, every Celestial King has taken at least a million years to become one. This is already far beyond the record, and you still think it's too slow?

After calming down, Jiang Hao continued to rapidly expand his field of vision, and then his gaze landed on a mysterious place in the heavens, a place filled with an aura of deathly silence and ominousness.

"This...this couldn't be the ancestral home of the strange race, could it?"
