Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 240 - 234: Who Can Save Him—Are There Old Friends Ahead in the River of Time?

Chapter 240: Chapter 234: Who Can Save Him—Are There Old Friends Ahead in the River of Time?

The voice of the Elder of Destruction, although hoarse, contained terrifying divine power, shaking this world and even stirring up the fragments of the void that had shattered ages ago, rushing toward that majestic figure.

Behind the Elder of Destruction stood three powerful figures. Just by standing there, they caused space to collapse and the law to evade them.

One of them, with a pair of golden, translucent blood wings growing from his back, when unfolded, could encompass a whole void. Each slight flap sent ripples through space. The man with golden wings was known as Emperor Yu, a legend among legends, the supreme forbidden legend.

Another, tall and robust, with broad shoulders, seemed to carry celestial bodies upon his back, continuously emitting dazzling starlight, so bright that the bloodied observers on the battlefield’s edge could not look directly. This man was Emperor Hong, also a forbidden legend, standing at the apex of the pyramid alongside Emperor Yu.

The last one, although not physically imposing, stood there commanding the fragments of law to gather around him in clusters. His name was Emperor Cang.

The Elder of Destruction, Emperor Yu, Emperor Hong, and Emperor Cang—these four were the highest and most powerful figures in this ancient history, yet they appeared together and stood on the same side, all to kill the broken yet majestic figure in the void ahead.

...

The perspective pulls forward to show the figure standing against the four.

Though his body bore large and small horrifying injuries and was somewhat broken, he still stood firmly in place, never faltering, never falling.

His black hair was like molten gold, his frame majestic, his shoulders broad, standing as straight as a pillar. There was a divine fire dancing in his pupils, not extinguished, constantly circulating. From his body, one could see scars and damage but not a trace of fear or retreat, only invincibility, tragedy, and resolve.

He is named Huang, the Celestial Emperor Huang!

Invincible and bitter in life, he had come to this point, undergoing transformation after transformation, while those around him continued to fall.

Neither in front of him nor behind him were there followers or comrades anymore, for all had fallen in battle, leaving only him.

Remembering his friends, his family, his brothers, Huang felt a touch of sorrow in his heart, but more so, determination, for he knew well that he could not afford sorrow, could not be sad. More importantly, he could not fall. He had to fight; otherwise, if he fell in battle, everything would lose meaning; all sacrifices would be in vain.

The sorrow in his heart was for his eyes only, allowing only himself to see.

Huang raised his head and looked at the Elder of Destruction. Facing his question, the Celestial Emperor Huang did not answer but instead held up the Desolate Tower, his thunderous voice shaking the Celestial Emperor: "If you want to fight, then fight!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the intent to kill and fight was reignited.

"Attack together, kill him!" Emperor Yu took the lead. He knew well that it was necessary to kill Huang as fast as possible, giving him no chance to breathe.

Once, he had given Huang too many opportunities to breathe and develop, allowing him to grow step by step to this point, so this time, he had to spare no effort, to strike Huang down in one blow!

Emperor Hong and Emperor Cang, nearby, were also preparing to attack with full force.

Only the Elder of Destruction slowly raised his head, looking up into the void, focusing his gaze on that mysterious River of Time.

He knew well that causality was descending. They wanted to kill Huang, but it wasn’t that simple.

There was nothing in this ancient history worth fearing anymore; everything was under control. But the only variable lay within this River of Time.

Because within the River of Time, concerning the past and the future, if a creature were to reverse the current and come from the future to participate in the battle, that would be an enormously significant factor.

Although they were the strongest in this piece of ancient history, beyond.... in that distant future, in subsequent other pieces of ancient history, even stronger existences might exist—Immortal Emperors above Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and even terrifying beings above Immortal Emperors, are all possible.

Thus, the Elder of Destruction was staring intently at the River of Time, making no move.

The next second, a tremor came from the River of Time, and in the void above, the shadow of a river flashed by.

Soon after, three powerful Immortal Shadows were rushing out of the River of Time.

Very quickly, the might of the three descended from the void, standing proudly on the battlefield.

The three supreme beings who arrived—two men and one woman—each emitted an incredibly powerful aura, not inferior to the Three Emperors of Yu, Cang, and Hong at all.

The entire battlefield fell entirely silent with the arrival of these three.

Everyone, including Huang, turned their gaze toward these three.

The Elder of Destruction, looking at the three, felt anxious, not knowing whether these three from the future were foes or allies.

The next second, the woman among them, upon seeing Huang, broke into a surprising smile, murmuring, "Finally found you!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Upon hearing this, the Elder of Destruction’s face darkened suddenly, indeed, they had come to rescue Huang!

However, this was also a good thing.

Because with someone coming to rescue Huang, it meant their slaying today would undoubtedly succeed; otherwise, in the future, no one would come to save Huang.

Thus..... it meant today Huang was in for a dire fate.

Huang, looking at the three who appeared suddenly, also remained composed, not responding, as he did not know these three and was unsure whether they were foes or allies.

The next second, the woman suddenly attacked Huang, gathering a powerful Dharma Seal into a terrifying holy light, attacking Huang.

Seeing this, the Celestial Emperor Huang waved his large hand, directly receiving the strike without sustaining any damage, the light on his body shining brightly.

Seeing Huang so easily receiving the attack, the woman laughed, "It is indeed you, still so strong!"

Seeing the three attacking Huang, the four of the Elder of Destruction were stunned.

It turned out..... these three did not come to help Huang but to kill him!

The Three Emperors of Yu, Cang, and Hong were also overjoyed. With the support of these three powerful future beings, Huang had no chance of survival!

However, the Elder of Destruction was furrowing his brow.

He would rather these three were here to support the Celestial Emperor Huang, as it would mean they were victorious today!

Yet the three were here to kill Huang.....

Realizing this, the Elder of Destruction’s heart trembled slightly.

Since the three came to kill Huang, it implied they did not triumph in this battle but perished at Huang’s hands, allowing Huang to survive into the future.... otherwise, no one would come from the future to kill Huang!

At this moment, the Elder of Destruction, who had the obvious advantage, felt a chill down his spine.....

....

"Attack together, kill him!"

The Elder of Destruction took the lead in attacking Huang.

The remaining six, too, charged towards the Celestial Emperor Huang!

Thus, Huang confronted the Seven Emperors, alone!

This battle shattered the heavens and earth, creating a dark void. Witnessing this, some followers standing at the battlefield’s edge, deeply injured, shed tears at the sight of Huang battling the Seven Emperors alone.....

Who can come to the aid of the Celestial Emperor Huang, who can help....

No one responded to the incessant pleas; they could only watch helplessly as Huang was besieged by the Seven Emperors, powerless, a growing despair....

And so, this battle lasted for centuries.

The powerful Huang, battling the Seven Emperors alone, fought for centuries without being completely killed!

However.... even the mighty Huang could not withstand such prolonged exhaustion and the wheel of battle; he had already suffered incredibly severe injuries.

"Now’s the time, kill him!"

Finally, the Elder of Destruction seized upon the Celestial Emperor Huang’s weakest flaw, shouting aloud.

The seven attacked simultaneously, to slay the Celestial Emperor Huang, at this moment!

Just then.

Clang—

A bell and drum sound emanated from the void.

The River of Time appeared in the void, and faintly, three more powerful figures were hurrying forth!
