Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 242 - 236: Behind Huang, Toward Huang’s Future
........
Thus, Ye Fan, the Emperor of Non-Beginning, and the Fierce People began battling the Seven Emperors, buying precious time for Huang to recover.
At this moment, on the edges of the battlefield, Huang’s followers, dragging their broken bodies, were filled with emotions, and some women burst into tears.
Ah, Huang, mighty Huang, you finally have your old friends again, finally someone to fight by your side once more....
These onlookers, with broken bodies and serious injuries, devoid of any combat ability, were all followers of Huang. Each of them was a formidable figure in the world, leaving behind stunning legends throughout history....
Yet, even so, they were neither qualified nor capable of fighting alongside Huang to the end.
So, when they saw Ye Fan and the others defying the River of Time to aid the solitary Huang, they couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.
For Huang was extremely strong, but also very burdened, and such immense strength brought profound loneliness.
Throughout his life, he always led in the forefront. No one could stand by his side, fight alongside him, and truly assist him.
He was the pathfinder, whereas all others were merely followers. That’s why when Ye Fan and the others made their formidable entrance, they were moved to tears.
....
Ye Fan, Emperor of Non-Beginning, and the Fierce People waged an earth-shattering battle with the Seven Emperors, causing the void to shatter again and again.
Even though they were reversing the River of Time and their powers were somewhat suppressed by time and space, they still fought the Seven Emperors to a stalemate, and even slightly had the upper hand, showing just how powerful Ye Fan and the others truly were!
Huang seized every second won by Ye Fan and the others to constantly heal and recover from his injuries.
Besieged by the Seven Emperors for centuries, none of his internal organs remaining intact, having shattered and regenerated countless times; if not for his powerful physique and healing capabilities, he would’ve long been besieged to death.
Bang—
A golden fist imprint burst forth from the battlefield, breaking the stalemate.
Huang, reborn from the flames, emerged from the divine golden light.
Seeing this, the Seven Emperors were filled with trepidation, and even a hint of panic rose within them.
These seven had besieged Huang for hundreds of years without letting him catch a breath, inflicting innumerable wounds upon him.
Yet, in just three hours, he completely recovered, and his aura even became more formidable!
Huang’s strength made them feel fear once again.
The three Golden Armor figures, upon witnessing Huang reborn from the flames, recalled some terrifying memories of the future, and fear unavoidably grew in their hearts.
Even reversing the River of Time and cooperating with the Elder of Destruction, the Four Emperors couldn’t kill Huang!
This was a still-growing Huang, not yet completely powerful!
Could it be that this meticulously planned assassination layout was destined to fail just like this?
If they failed this time, there would be no opportunities later, for this time had already involved too many causes and effects.
The future Huang and those supreme beings who follow him should have all taken notice, and they would be prepared. There would be no chance like this again.
Cause and effect are such that a small trigger can lead to massive changes.
With Huang’s powerful entry, the entire battle was thoroughly reversed.
Initially, Huang, battling the Elder of Destruction and the others, was at only a slight disadvantage.
Now, even though three helpers had arrived on the opponent’s side, there was still a gap compared to Ye Fan, Non-Beginning, and Fierce People.
Moreover, with Huang emerging strong after his setback, his aura grew even stronger, growing more valiant as he fought, forcing the Seven Emperors to retreat steadily.
At this moment, the Golden Armor Empress recalled something significant.
With a wave of her jade hand, a pitch-black coffin shot out from her sleeve.
Suddenly, a shattering sound emerged from the void within the black coffin, shaking the entire battlefield.
All on the battlefield halted their attacks, looking up towards the void above.
The next moment, a massive shadowy figure, whose face could not be discerned, slowly stood up from the coffin.
Instantly, the shadowy figure stood atop the Black Coffin, appearing in the void, overlooking everyone on the battlefield.
The Golden Armor woman, the silver-haired man, and the others displayed excitement upon witnessing the emergence of the shadowy figure.
Facing the shadowy figure, they knelt on one knee, respectfully addressing, "Master."
... 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
At this moment, they understood why the "Master" went to such great lengths to have the three of them carry the Black Coffin, reverse the River of Time, and come here to kill Huang.
Moreover, the Master specifically emphasized that as long as the Black Coffin was brought here, nothing else needed to be worried about; everything was under control.
Turns out, the Master’s shadowy avatar was hidden within the Black Coffin.
Upon seeing this shadowy avatar, Huang and the others also assumed a grave expression.
Though it was merely a shadowy avatar, its strength surpassed the terrifying Quasi-Immortal Emperor, a complete dominance!
Furthermore, should this shadowy figure join the battle, it would completely reverse the situation, making victory impossible.
The Fierce Emperor gazed at the shadowy figure, finally revealing a change in her beautiful eyes. She had calculated every possible scenario but hadn’t expected the opponent had such a move.
How they managed to painstakingly bring such an existence directly here remains a mystery...
Did the strong ones ahead not notice?
Did the future Huang not realize?
At this critical moment, the Fierce Empress was at a loss, unsure of how to deal with the current situation.
The power above that of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor was a domination against them.
The Emperor of Non-Beginning held the Timeless Bell tightly, determination filling his eyes as he realized this might be a life-or-death battle.
Ye Fan also understood that only by fighting to the death could they hope for survival.
The Fierce Emperor looked into the void, gazing at the River of Time, whispering to herself, "Will anyone else come...."
She didn’t know whom to ask, or who could answer this question....
For in that distant future, at that eerie origin, if a supreme eerie existence was unleashed, even as a shadow, it would be an undeniable dominance against them, beyond their capability to resist....
So, will there be anyone coming in the future?
It’s unknown....
...
The black shadowy figure looked down at Huang, and a drifting, hoarse voice echoed: "So, it turns out you’re already this formidable."
"But still, despite numerous people rescuing you, following you, and all your future strategies..."
"In the end, you still miscalculated this move of mine."
After saying this, the shadowy figure paused and continued, "No more expectations needed, no more waiting."
"Everyone capable of saving you and yours in the future has been entirely tied up; they can’t come."
"Therefore, you’re all in a deadlock."
"Yet, I discovered a delightful surprise; I didn’t expect it to be you three coming to rescue Huang."
"All of you three will die here with Huang."
The shadowy figure grinned as he spoke to Ye Fan and the others.
