Chapter 601: Prophet
In the depths of the long river of time and space, between the sparkling waves.
Suddenly, a different light appeared.
It was like a mist formed by countless fine Xiaoice crystals rising and converging, mixed with a different kind of silver light in a piece of light gold.
From the moment this "ice mist" appeared, it began to emit an imperceptible aura from ordinary creatures, quietly blending into the sparkling waves, and constantly transmitting towards the front of the long river of time and space.
The long river of time and space is still flowing slowly, with countless tributaries parting in front and gradually converging in the rear.
Erosion washes away everything, and it is deduced into the reincarnation of living in the void.
It was only when this silver ice mist manifested that there seemed to be a trace of stagnation in the sparkling waves.
This change is subtle, and perhaps only the eye of the Overseer can perceive it keenly and send the signal out at the first opportunity.
In this way, high-ranking watchers will be attracted to eliminate and clean up the source of change.
It is even possible to cut off a certain river of time and space, destroying and erasing all existence in it.
It is precisely because of this that every appearance of the Overseer brings destruction and killing, and is eternally feared by cultivators who are qualified to step into the long river of time and space.
In the depths of the sparkling waves, a ripple spread out silently.
It's like throwing a stone into the water, and the ripples continue to spread outward.
The next moment, a leaf boat quietly appeared.
From nothing to something, from virtual to real, it suddenly appeared in the long river of time and space.
Wei Tao slowly raised his head at this time, revealing his gaze blocked by the hat.
He looked at it, and a faint silver mist was reflected in his eyes, just in front of the bow of the ship.
"Along the way, it seems that I haven't traveled too far, but I have come to a completely unfamiliar area."
Wei Tao retracted his gaze, his expression thoughtful, and turned his head to look at the side of the ship.
"It's you, go over and deal with things."
He stretched out his hand, and he was still the petite, battle-robed female watchdog.
It's just that just as she turned to leave, Wei Tao suddenly asked her to stop.
After a moment, he looked down at the space under the ship, his gaze swept over Thousand Hands and Demon Yuan, and soon landed on the location of the group of dragon beasts.
"The Lord of the Universe, who has just broken through the realm, doesn't seem to need to use a genuine Overseer, and if there is such an opportunity, it is better to try the quality of these imposters.
Let's see how they differ from the real overseers, whether they can fully implement the instructions in place, and whether there is any value to continue to cultivate. ”
As soon as he thought of this, Wei Tao immediately changed his thinking, randomly pointed out a dragon beast, carried it to the side of the ship, and explained it carefully.
Soon after, the dragon beast quietly left the boat and disappeared into the river.
Inside the Ice Crystal Universe, Bei Qi is like a great enemy, holding his breath and concentrating on deep perception.
The woman in the palace costume on the side was terrified and dazed, and she didn't know what had happened until now.
I only know that these two great cultivators who are stronger than themselves seem to be planning something, and the introduction to opening all this is her, the Lord of the Universe who has just opened the barrier.
Thinking of what the illusory old man had said before, she suddenly fell into anxiety, and she lost her previous joy and joy.
"As we travel through the long river of time and space, we are constantly being washed and resisted by the passing waters, and as a result, we have had to develop many practices to oppose them.
But the Overseers who cruise the river are different, they seem to be never affected by the passing of time, and they can freely shuttle through the sparkling waves, do you know what the reason for this is hidden? ”
While waiting, the illusory old man didn't know what he thought, so he turned his head to Bei Rui on the side and asked.
Bei Rui said, "Back to the words of the predecessors of Yuyin, when the previous mask of the subordinates was not taken away, they once deeply sensed the aura of the Overseers, and it seems that they have a passage that we cannot enter, so they can travel freely in the long river of time and space. ”
The old man nodded, a smile on his face, "You're right, they hold the passage that we can't enter, and they can also be called a link, one end connects the long river of time and space, and the other end is behind the gate on the other side.
However, according to the information that the leaders received from the prophets, the Overseers, although they are high in our eyes, are not really omnipotent, and are subject to their own higher rules, with all kinds of imprisonment and shackles. ”
Speaking of this, he sighed lowly, "It's a pity that we have too few samples to really figure out what is hidden behind the Overseer, I hope this hunt can be successfully completed, and it will lay a more solid foundation for the follow-up plan........."
The old man was halfway through his words and suddenly kept silent.
After more than a dozen breaths, he opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a turbid breath, "The long river of time and space has changed, and it seems that the bait we have carefully arranged has finally waited for the arrival of the big fish of the Overseer.
Are the others ready, the whole plan has reached a critical moment here, don't let the leader and the prophet wait for a moment because of someone's mistake. ”
Bei Rui raised his hand to touch the mask, and his voice became cold and deep at this moment, "Back to Yuyin senior, all the links have been prepared, just wait for the VIP to come to the table before the table can be opened." ”
"Don't be careless in informing the others, although they have the treasure bestowed by the Prophet in their hands, after all, they are facing a high Overseer, so it is impossible to be too cautious."
"Senior Yuyin rest assured, after the last hunting operation, everyone has already memorized the operation of the formation, and as long as the judge who comes this time is not the judge who opens the door to the other side, there will never be any mistakes."
"Inquisitor, Bei Rui, you are thinking too much."
The old man only smiled slightly when he heard this, "It's just dealing with a new Lord of the Universe, how can it be possible to work on the mastery of the judge?" ”
"What's more, according to the Prophet's speculation, there seems to be a change behind the Gate on the other side, and those Inquisitors are afraid that it will be difficult for them to get out of the way and come to this remote tributary to deal with the situation.
So don't be nervous, and when you have enough time, you must put the finishing touches on it and leave nothing ......."
"Huh!?"
The old man was still talking, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
In the eyes that were like a secluded pool, there was a light of surprise and surprise.
"What's that?"
"What does this black-scaled monster do?"
"No, no, it's an overseer that roams the rivers of time and space."
"The extinguishing light can't be faked, and the unique aura of the gate on the other side is even more difficult to fake, so this thing is really an overseer who has descended."
His brow furrowed, and his tone was puzzled, "Neither the ancient taboo nor the prophet's dictation have mentioned the existence of the Overseer in this form, could it be that there are other systems that are completely different from the information we already have!?" ”
At this moment, Bei Rui's voice sounded, also with a strong tone of doubt, "Has the senior of Yuyin noticed that the strange supervisor who has descended this time seems to be a little weak?" ”
"A little weak?"
Yu Yin took a deep breath, "If compared to the two of our successful hunting, its strength level may not be a little weak, but weakness like falling off a cliff, at least in the old man's perception, I am afraid that even half of the other overseers can barely reach it." ”
After a pause, he changed his words abruptly, "Could it be that, as the Prophet said, it was the changes behind the Gate on the other side that caused such a situation that surprised us?" ”
"Senior Yuyin, it's already close to the edge of the circle."
Bei Rui's voice couldn't help but get nervous, "Then according to the original plan, it will be directly killed at any cost?" ”
Yu Yin had many thoughts in his heart, and made a decision in an instant.
"No, it's better to catch it alive this time."
His eyes sparkled, and his face was cloudy, "According to the strength level of the Overseer this time, it is better to capture it alive, presumably the leader and the Prophet will also be very interested in it, and it may even be possible to explore secrets that have not been expected before." ”
"Let them wait a little longer, wait until it enters the depths of the circle, and then do what the old man commands."
Bei Rui nodded, and was about to pass the order out, but the whole person was stunned in place without warning.
He looked out into the universe, staring into the depths of the waves, as if he had seen a ghost, and his face suddenly showed an expression of disbelief and surprise.
Not far away, Yu Yin squinted his eyes violently and subconsciously opened his mouth.
"Impossible, how is this possible?"
"It's an overseer that cruises the river, how can it do such a thing!?"
The corners of his eyes and mouth twitched slightly, "It's simply an unprecedentedly strange thing, a space-time monitor who has no intelligence and is not afraid of life and death can run away without looking back without completing the task of purging?" ”
Swish......
The next moment, the two figures disappeared abruptly.
Leave the Universal Barrier and come to the long river of time and space.
Looking at the dragon beast that was fleeing frantically, Yu Yin and Bei Rui looked at each other, and they both saw an incomprehensible puzzle in each other's eyes.
Bei Rui asked, "Senior Yuyin, what should we do next?" ”
"First of all, it must be made clear that it is a fake supervisor, but the level of strength seems to be a little weak."
Yu Yin exhaled heavily, and an excited expression suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, "Secondly, we have all discovered that although it looks a little stupid and clumsy, it seems to have a quality that other Overseers do not have, that is, it can judge the situation, and may even retain some of its own will and wisdom. ”
His mind raced, and the more he spoke, the faster he spoke, "As long as you can capture it, it will definitely be a great achievement for the Prophet."
Thinking about it further, if we can study the secrets behind it, it may be possible for all of us to break the boundaries and have the ability to be overseers without being erased from our own will, so that we can have greater confidence to cross the sea of suffering and reach the other side of the long river of true freedom. ”
Bei Rui stared at the back of the dragon beast that was getting farther and farther away, and a trace of throbbing flashed inexplicably in the depths of his consciousness.
He quickly gathered his thoughts, and then asked, "What does Yuyin Senpai mean by catching up and capturing this strange Overseer alive?" ”
"It must be captured alive and given to the Prophet for further study."
Yu Yin had already stepped on the waves as he spoke, speeding forward to catch up, "And the speed must be fast, let the others follow now, otherwise when it escapes into that passage, we will lose this great opportunity given by God!" ”
Rumble!!!
As his voice fell, outside the cosmological barrier composed of ice crystals and mist, the long river of time and space shimmered, and a large wave suddenly waved.
Eighteen cultivators with different figures and appearances, but emitting the same cold aura, emerged from their respective hidden positions, still maintaining the integrity of the formation, closely following behind Yu Yin, and hurriedly chased away in the direction that the dragon beast had left.
Stirring up the waves and stirring up ripples wherever they passed.
It was eliminated by the spell cast by Bei Rui who fell at the end, as if the long river was closed everywhere, and there was no trace left.
Only the woman in the palace costume was left standing in the void of the universe, watching the drastic changes outside the ice crystal barrier in a daze, and for a while she was like falling into a fog, not figuring out what the situation was at all.
Only the deepest fear quietly surged in the depths of consciousness, almost freezing the true soul and losing the ability to think normally.
There were so many great cultivators, and each of them had a strength realm far above her, bringing an incomparable sense of terrifying oppression.
But even so, they even had to hide, and even joined forces to set up a large array, just for the sake of an overseer who came from afar.
Such a fantastic and strange unfolding made her feel like falling into the abyss, and in addition to the fear of falling into the abyss, she also had an irrepressible curiosity, wanting to see what the Overseer really looked like, and what kind of energy it had, so that so many big people could be waiting for it.
Whoa!
The long river is sparkling and turbulent.
A drake ran frantically.
Behind them are the outer demons that have formed a formation, accelerating to catch up faster and faster.
And as time passed, Yu Yin's heart became more and more anxious.
After all, they were tracking an Overseer, and they had left aura fluctuations in the long river of time and space, and even if Bei Rui was working hard to eliminate them in the rear, there was still no guarantee that they would be able to empty them all.
If it escapes into that passage, it will be able to make contact with the Gate of the Other Shore, and if it attracts the gaze of a higher Inquisitor, they will face a great danger of life and death.
Fortunately, there were no traces of the manifestation of the bond on the other side of the strange overseer's escape route, which meant that they still had more time to spare......
Yu Yin thought silently, and his pupils like a secluded pool suddenly contracted.
As far as the eye could see, the dragon beast had disappeared without warning, and until this time it had not sensed the appearance of the passage link.
It seemed to have used a "stealth method", and it was out of his sight like this, and there was not even a trace of qi.
Yu Yin was surprised and puzzled, and couldn't help but slow down, cautiously and vigilantly moving forward, and ready to retreat and leave at any time.
At that moment, he suddenly saw a small boat.
One moment there was no trace, and the next moment it quietly appeared.
From nothing to something, from virtual to real, like an unfolding picture scroll, suddenly appeared in front of you.
A man on the boat, holding a wooden oar and wearing a robe, slowly raised his hat at this moment.
Yu Yin looked at that gentle gaze, and was a little stunned for a while.
At the same time, there is a calm and indifferent voice, which echoes in the ears through the waves.
"No wonder this stupid creature fled back in a panic, it turned out that in the place where the Lord of the Universe just appeared, you laid a big trap to wait there."
"Thanks to my early warning, let it pass and act according to the situation, if it can easily solve the problem, then directly complete this cleaning and erasure task.
If the new Lord of the Universe is strong and makes it feel dangerous, then turn around and flee without doing anything, and return to the space under the ship as soon as possible, so that at least it can come back alive and not waste a pet's life in vain. ”
The long river is surging and the picture scroll is still slowly unfolding.
Yu Yin listened in a daze, and finally saw the whole picture clearly, the whole person seemed to be drained of his spirit, and his mind became blank in an instant.
He couldn't have imagined that the strange Overseers they had set up to track down had dozens of them under this boat.
In addition, the seven people who stood silently on both sides of the ship's side exuded an icy and silent aura around them, and the sense of oppression brought by them seemed to freeze a large area of the long river.
The strength level of these seven men and women seems to be above that of ordinary space-time monitors.
Only the young man sitting in the boat, wearing a hat, did not show any strength, and felt like an ordinary person without cultivation, just leisurely boating and enjoying the beautiful waves of the long river.
However, Yu Yin can also know with his toes that this young man is by no means harmless to humans and animals, but terrifying and terrifying beyond prediction.
After all, the monster they thought was the Overseer, but he was raising it as a pet, and there was not just one, but at least thirty or forty, plus the seven figures on both sides of the ship, so even if it was a judge who could open the door to the other side, I am afraid that there would not be so many Overseers to drive.
It's simply a small army.
And it's an all-overseer battle formation.
Neither the ancient taboo nor the prophetic dictation ever mentions a terrible situation.
So, what is the identity of this person?
And for what?
It doesn't have to be because of that tiny bait.
Not even because of their hunting.
After all, with the terrifying strength revealed by this "battleship", if you want to clean up and erase these cultivators, the difficulty is basically equivalent to swatting a few flies to death, and there is no need to make such a big move, let such a big man personally come forward to solve it.
"Your hearts are full of confusion and need someone to show you the way forward."
Wei Tao gently swung the oars and quietly stirred the sparkling waves, "Maybe it was the favor of the god of fate that made you meet me here, and you don't have to hide and wander in the long river of time and space, I can promise you a brighter future." ”
As he said this, a more gentle smile appeared on his face, "Because I can give you the compilation, you must know that in the long river of time and space, this is a precious opportunity that all great cultivators cannot ask for.
Of course, if you want to join the editor, you also need to let me see your sincerity, for example, the dark and cold aura that lingers on you seems to have some connection with that space-time cliff, as long as anyone can tell it in detail, I will be the first to go through the entry procedures for him......"
Wei Tao spoke softly and slowly, but suddenly stopped after a while.
He raised his head slightly, his gaze shooting out from under his hat, past Yu Yin and the others, and cast it into the sparkling waves farther away.
There, the color of pale gold became much darker in silence.
There was also a more icy and cold aura, which also slowly dispersed with the change of the light of the long river.
At this moment, an ethereal voice quietly sounded, "You are very strange, this is the first time I have seen the existence of a judge who can have an independent will. ”
Yu Yin Spirit's spirit shuddered, and suddenly came back to his senses, "Lord Prophet, there are dozens of overseers under this person's command, you must ...... more"
"Noise!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was suddenly interrupted by a low shout.
The next moment, the sound of sharp chewing slowly sounded, and it sounded like it couldn't help but make everyone's scalp tingle, and their bodies were cold, and they didn't dare to make any abnormal movements.
Boom!
Wei Tao swallowed the last-minute food, with a look of disgust on his face.
"There is too little nutrition, and the taste is not good, so I can only give bad reviews."
He jerked his head up, his eyes fiery and burning gaze, "Lord Prophet, I hope you don't let me down. ”
Swish!!!
Suddenly, the cold light flickered, reflecting the surrounding large sparkles.
Wei Tao held the tip of the wooden oar, slowly drew his sword out of its sheath, and the whole person disappeared without warning.
The next moment, he combined his two swords and crossed the long river of time and space.
In the depths of the gradually darkening waves, a figure as black as ink stood still.
It was expressionless, looking at the sudden figure of the hat.
His eyes fell on the sword light that was cut horizontally left and right, and even with his state of mind, he couldn't help but be puzzled at this moment.
A sword is a good sword, and it can even cut through a long river.
But the swordsmanship practiced by this person ......
No, he doesn't seem to have any swordsmanship at all.
