However, as soon as he stepped into the river, the water surged and the power of all the Dao Strengths rushed about to block his path. He had to pause outside the river instead.
It looked as if Mo was stuck outside the river as endless waves crashed down upon him, but he was still slowly making his way forward.
Mo could not be stopped!
Yang Kai’s expression hardened. He had refined quite a lot of the Dao Strengths from Mu’s Space-Time River in a short span of time and strengthened his own Space-Time River greatly. He was even able to use a bit of the strength from Mu’s river itself; but even so, it was not his strength so he could not wield it freely.
He had no way of keeping Mo out if the latter chose to force his way in.
Soon, Yang Kai made up his mind. Since he could not keep Mo out, he was not going to even try. The Space-Time River was a mysterious place made up of the solidified Grand Daos with Space-Time Dao Strength as its foundation.
Even if Mo entered the river, it would not be easy for him to locate Yang Kai.
The only thing Yang Kai could do now was to avoid Mo’s attacks while doing his best to refine the river and strengthen himself.
As long as he could grow powerful enough, he could put up a fight against Mo.
Just as Yang Kai prepared himself for this final gambit, Mo, who was busy pushing his way into the river, abruptly turned his head around and looked over his shoulder.
He had sensed something strange…
A brief moment later, a spark of white light appeared in the distance where countless Masters from the Black Ink Clan were stationed. The white light shrouded a figure which was travelling at astonishing speed.
Everywhere this figure passed, all of the Black Ink Clansmen turned into a sea of black blood, be they simple soldiers or Royal Lords.
In just a flash, the white light arrived at the Space-Time River and Zhang Ruo Xi’s figure appeared.
She looked around and immediately established the situation, her eyes flashing darkly as they fixed on Mo.
When their eyes met, Mo froze in place.
He did not expect a Master like her to exist! Based on the information he had, the strongest Humans were only the Ninth-Order Masters, and even among their other allies, the strongest were merely Giant Spirit Gods.
Yet, the woman who just arrived… had an aura that seemed even stronger than that of a Giant Spirit God.
When Mo sensed the clean and pure strength of the new arrival, his expression suddenly contorted as he roared, “It’s you!”
He recognised the source of that strength!
Zhang Ruo Xi understood what Mo meant. When the Burning Light and Serene Glimmer’s strength finally harmonized in the Chaotic Dead Territory, the memories of her Heavens Order Bloodline began awakening, so she was not completely clueless about the events of the ancient past.
Thus, when she heard what Mo said, she cooly replied, “Yes… and no!”
“It is! It’s you!” Mo’s expression had changed rather drastically. Even when Yang Kai suppressed and sealed over 30% of his Source, he took everything in stride and could even thank the latter; however, when Mo saw Zhang Ruo Xi, the darkness hidden deep within him overtook everything else. He leapt out of the Space-Time River and murderously flew over to Zhang Ruo Xi, but all of a sudden, he stopped and shook his head as he muttered, “No. That can’t be!”
Black Ink Strength continued to surge through him before he suddenly lifted his head and levelled a vicious glare at Zhang Ruo Xi and bellowed, “No, it is you!”
Mo behaved as if he had lost his mind and he began to mumble and contradict himself, seemingly completely out of sorts.
All of a sudden, he flashed forwards and reappeared in front of Zhang Ruo Xi, sending his fist flying as he roared, “Why!?”
