Chapter 1663: Chapter 223: Journey Against Fate

"..."

Uncertain how long passed.

Xie Xuanyi opened his eyes to find darkness in every direction.

However, this darkness was not the same as the "darkness" he had seen at the end breakpoint of the River of Destiny.

Thud!

He extended his palm, as he had predicted, touching the flat, hard plank of the coffin.

He exerted force to push it.

The coffin board was lifted open.

Xie Xuanyi sat up, and a familiar lazy voice sounded beside his ear.

"I suggest you put the coffin lid back, lying down is better."

Turning his head.

He unsurprisingly saw that persistent face.

"You’re still here?"

Xie Xuanyi involuntarily sneered.

Looking closely, he paused.

Lu Yuzhen at this moment was sitting not far from the coffin, covered in blood, looking extremely miserable, even the paper snow swirling around was tinged with red. Who would have thought that the unyielding Paperman Taoist would end up in such a plight? However, Lu Yuzhen’s expression remained calm, sitting on the ground, letting the blood flow.

"What’s going on?" Xie Xuanyi frowned.

Leaping into the River of Destiny’s end, Xie Xuanyi did not think much.

Like when he leaped into the North Sea in the past, he followed the "intuition" of his Heart Lake and took the plunge.

He knew he wouldn’t die.

He also knew Lu Yuzhen would follow.

But he never expected... the first scene he’d see after opening his eyes would be like this.

"As you see."

Lu Yuzhen softly coughed.

He calmly said, "I was beaten terribly, nearly dying... You’re almost the same..."

"...?"

Xie Xuanyi paused again.

Lowering his head.

Only then did he realize that his black robe was also soaked in blood, his Primordial Lake was shattered, and the Undying Spring Eye had completely vanished, leaving the Dantian hollow.

Was this a side effect of crossing the River of Destiny?

Was the Undying Spring completely worn out within the River of Destiny?

"Kill!"

"Dao Yi is inside!"

"Attack together!"

A deafening shout echoed from outside, a stream of light collided, causing the earth to tremble.

Only then did Xie Xuanyi realize.

He was sheltering within a mountain’s belly, the scenery somewhat familiar, he had seen it in the South Border.

Was it... Pure White Mountain?

"Pure White Mountain is soon to be breached."

Lu Yuzhen lowered his eyes, his voice weak but still calm: "When can your broken coffin activate again... I can’t hold on for long..."

Xie Xuanyi silently stared at Lu Yuzhen.

Though he did not understand what had happened.

It was evident.

The relationship between him and Lu Yuzhen had undergone a "subtle" change. Not long ago, they were fiercely battling, trying to decide life or death. Now, they had returned together a thousand years ago and become allies confronting "pursuit."

The assaults outside carried exceedingly powerful Taoist Intent.

Xie Xuanyi could sense it.

These Taoist Intents...

Some already surpassed the Yang God, staunchly at the Heavenly Human Realm.

Yet at this moment, the Heavenly People seemed not so terrifying.

Xie Xuanyi lowered his head, checking the condition of this body.

Though the Dantian was void of Primordial Energy, the Primordial Lake was several times stronger than when exiting closure—

It appeared he not only crossed the River of Destiny.

But also, in the reverse flow, broke the Yang God’s Limit, reaching the legendary Heavenly Human Realm.

"What is Dao Yi?"

Xie Xuanyi looked at the close distance, asking seriously: "Who are the people outside?"

"..."

Lu Yuzhen cast a complex gaze at the person before him.

"Now you remember nothing."

He rubbed his brow, murmuring: "Unfortunately, the Time Scroll is shattered."

Speaking.

Lu Yuzhen wobbly stood up.

"Too many messy matters, I can’t explain."

Approaching Xie Xuanyi, Lu Yuzhen helplessly smiled: "In short, you just need to remember... if you hear someone shout ’Dao Yi’, just start fighting."

Having said that.

He reached out and pushed.

Xie Xuanyi wanted to resist, but this body was in such poor state that even breaking through the Heavenly Human’s Limit couldn’t support it, thoroughly in a "burnt-out" condition.

Powerless to ward off, he was heavily pushed down.

The next moment.

The coffin was closed, darkness returned.

Pinned inside the coffin, Xie Xuanyi felt the familiar Dao Domain aura descend—

The snow began to fall.

That was Lu Yuzhen executing the Space-Time Dao Realm.

...

...

"Bang!"

Still uncertain how long had passed.

Still shrouded in darkness.

But this time, when Xie Xuanyi awoke, he wasted no time, immediately using his palm to lift the coffin lid.

Sitting up, he felt a slight rocking beneath him.

It turned out the Golden Coffin was floating on the sea, swaying with the water, like a small boat.

"What just happened?"

Xie Xuanyi furrowed his brows, striving to recall.

This time, the Divine Sea did not experience any pain, the memory of leaping into the River of Destiny did not have any break points, after being forcefully sealed in the coffin by Lu Yuzhen, he fell into slumber, upon waking again, he found himself on this unknown sea.

Supporting the Golden Coffin, Xie Xuanyi gazed below, the sea waves gently rippling, reflecting a young and spirited face, compared to the previous fragility and misery, this time the "resurgence" clearly was in a much better state.

Strong gusts of wind stirred, his black robe flapping.

No trace of blood, vital energy abundant.

Primordial Lake full, realm Heavenly Human.

His condition was unprecedentedly fine, Divine Sea immensely powerful, a Divine Thought swiftly extending tens of miles away.

"Has that Lu disappeared, dead?"

Xie Xuanyi’s brows tightly knitted.

His last recollection, several Heavenly People were besieging Pure White Mountain, aside from Heavenly People, there should’ve been numerous Yang Gods as well.

A thousand years ago, truly a Golden Era.
