After Shen Tang and Shen Nianxing disappeared, Zhou Xuanji's confidence was hit hard.

After Shen Tang and Shen Nianxing's disappearance, Zhou Xuanji hadn't spoken a single word. Little Sovereign tried to comfort him but it was to no avail.

​​

Right now, Zhou Xuanji could only charge straight ahead, without thinking about anything else.

As for Little Sovereign, he already couldn't tell what they would encounter next.

"How troublesome! I guess you, brat, are more talented than me. Otherwise, how could you encounter that crazy Time-Space Chaotic Tide?" Little Sovereign stated with a sigh. His eyes were looking forward with a solemn look in them.

The same old starry sky was still there. But underneath this beauty laid endless murderous intent.

Zhou Xuanji didn't respond to anything. His eyes were burning like a torch as he coldly gazed toward the front.

From now on, he would be facing the tribulations alone.

Without Shen Tang and Shen Nianxing, he was feeling lonely.

In the past, the sisters duo would constantly whisper to him, reminding him that there was someone with him.

Little Sovereign often went to sleep and couldn't accompany him most of the time.

Over time, all kinds of tribulations like wind tribulation, fire tribulation, snow tribulation, and so forth, as well as, the Time-Space Chaotic Tide appeared one after another. Each tribulation, sharpening Zhou Xuanji's will.

Zhou Xuanji barely held on, using the Inverse Chaos divine ability, however his cultivation was slowly but steadily improving.

Not only that, even his physique was also undergoing a qualitative change.

For him, bearing all these tribulations was just a process of tempering his body.

Time had lost all meaning here. Zhou Xuanji only felt that a long time had passed.

So much time had passed that he had almost forgotten everything that had ever happened before.

Finally, he broke through to the Nine Vast Heavens Realm.

A step further, he would become an Origin Fusion Divine Lord.

But he wasn't the least bit excited by this improvement.

His consciousness was already becoming a little fuzzy.

He felt as if he would slip into a permanent sleep at any moment.

Right then, Little Sovereign flew out of the sword and cried, "Smelly Kid, hold on!"

Seeing Zhou Xuanji's heavy eyelids, he became anxious. But he was at his wits ends.

Even his past self would not have been able to survive this journey.

"I... want to... go back..." Zhou Xuanji said with difficulty. His breath was weak. He was completely out of energy.

He tried his best to open his eyes wide to keep himself awake.

But an endless lethargy drowned his heart and soul.

He had never been so lethargic in his life.

A voice kept ringing in his subconsciousness, persuading him.

As long as he relaxed, all of this will be over.

He would no longer have to endure the loneliness and suffering.

"Dammit..." Suddenly, intense flames of fury erupted from the depths of Zhou Xuanji's heart. He raised his right hand as thousands of swords appeared out of thin air. All the swords merged together into the Multiverse Slasher.

The Multiverse Slasher bloomed with a dazzling bright light, shining the passage of the two worlds.

This was his last stand.

If it didn't work, it would be really over.

Zhou Xuanji forcefully opened his eyes. His purple eyes flickered with a cold gleam as the Soul Source Orb emerged from his glabella.

Suppressing the Universe!

The passage of the two worlds was frozen!

Immediately after, he fired the Multiverse Slasher with the Void Instant Kill.

The next moment, his attack tore through time and space, shooting straight ahead. It was completely unstoppable.

Zhou Xuanji immediately felt the pressure becoming lighter. He promptly increasedd his speed as he flew forward.

Under the lead of the Multiverse Slash, his speed had been pushed to the extreme.

But along with the passing of his Vital Energy, his consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

An endless darkness soon engulfed his soul.

Is this the end!?

Did I fail!?

These were Zhou Xuanji's last thoughts.

...

Zhou Xuanji had a dream. He was dreaming that he was wandering in the peach blossom forest with Jiang Xue, Xian Xianghua, Shen Tang, Shen Nianxiang, Chang Xiyan, and Huang Lianxin.

Zhou Xiaoxuan and Zhou Tanhua were fighting with each other not too far away from them. Whereas Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, and the others were practicing swords all over the peach forest. This harmonious picture, along with the fragrance of flowers and chirping of birds left Zhou Xuanji intoxicated.

Shen Nianxing suddenly leaned toward him and asked, "Why did you leave me?"

Zhou Xuanji was stunned before he asked, smiling, "When did I leave you? Didn't you follow me here?"

Shen Nianxing's eyes instantly turned red as she folded her arms and shook in fear.

"You abandoned me... you promised to take my sister and I out... you promised..." She choked on her words as she spoke.

Hearing this, Zhou Xuanji's heart skipped a beat.

His eyes widened in shock. Just as he was about to speak, everything around him suddenly shattered.

He woke up from his nightmare and sat up straight. He was panting, recovering his breath.

He was sweating buckets but he was so cold as if the was cold air coming from everywhere around him.

He looked around and found himself hovering on a road of ice.

"Where am I..." His eyes widened as he tried to remember.

Thousands of legendary swords floating around him flew toward him, merging into his body, gradually sobering him up.

I'm still alive!

Did my last attack succeed!?

He quickly summoned Little Sovereign and asked, "Where am I?"

Little Sovereign was in a daze. His eyes widened in shock when he saw the surroundings.

"Absolute Time Realm!? You actually were able to get here!" He cried aloud in surprise as if he was seeing something incredible.

Zhou Xuanji frowned, wondering whether this place was good or bad for him.

Suddenly, he found that his purple sky stardust robe had shattered into pieces, leaving bits and pieces of purple material on his body, barely covering him.

Also, his skin was glowing blue.

"This..." Zhou Xuanji muttered to himself in confusion, checking his body from top to bottom.

Little Sovereign's eyes, on the other hand, grew wider at the sight of this as he gasp a breath of cold air.

"I'll be damned... Am I dreaming?" He muttered to himself in a trembling voice.

Zhou Xuanji immediately looked at him and asked, "Quickly tell me everything you know."

Why is this guy trying to annoy me even now?

Little Sovereign took a deep breath as he tried to calm himself. Then, he said, "Your physique has transformed into Impenetrable Sovereign Physique. It's almost impossible to train this kind of divine physique. Since ancient times, the Impenetrable Sovereign Physique had been just a legend. I have only seen one person succeed in practicing it. He could travel through time and space freely. No one could catch him, including me. Later, he disappeared. After him, the Impenetrable Sovereign Physique never appeared again."

"And this place is the Absolute Time Realm. This place is the end of time. There is no danger here. But there aren't any opportunities either because you can't escape from this place. If you want to escape the Absolute Time Realm, you need to practice..."

Little Sovereign abruptly stopped speaking. He slapped himself and said loudly, "Dammit, I'm so stupid! You got the Impenetrable Sovereign Physique! You can escape from this place!"

He immediately grew excited. He said in a trembling voice, "Smelly Kid, as long as you break out of this place, no one can compete with you for the Sovereign's position. This is a huge opportunity that most people will never encounter in their lifetime!"

"Impenetrable Sovereign Physique can prevent the invasion of any principle. Only absolute strength and energy can suppress you. And most people neglect this very point. As their cultivation grows higher, they tend to use Great Dao principles and divine abilities."

Zhou Xuanji raised his brows. Am I really that powerful?

But why don't I feel that different from before?

It just feels like my body has grown lighter.

He waved his hands and suddenly realized that he could feel the existence of time and space.

It felt as if invisible objects were all around him. When he lightly moved, he felt as if he was maneuvering through cotton. This feeling was incredibly marvelous.
