Chapter 1126: The First One!

Deep within the River of Time, a world that had been desolate for an unknown number of years lay hidden, enveloped by billions of space-time imprints.

Suddenly, a crimson figure swept away the vast space-time imprints. His gaze scanned the sky above this world, revealing a hideous, sinister smile as he extended two massive, blood-red claws and forcefully tore the world open.

Rumble!

The originally desolate world was stimulated by the intruder and instantly began to pulse with life.

Deep within the world, a figure sitting cross-legged in slumber inside a celestial body suddenly opened his eyes, a terrifying light shooting from his pupils.

In an instant, the celestial body he occupied violently exploded, shattering into countless specks of dust.

"He's out… how can it be so fast…"

A look of shock appeared on the person's face, with a faint trace of fear lingering in his eyes.

"Finding this place means he can already traverse the River of Time at will; it can no longer trap him! He can even enter my Internal World as he pleases… just how powerful has he become?"

The person's voice trembled slightly, and an urge to flee even arose in the depths of his heart.

But the opponent had already come knocking and even invaded his Internal World. Leaving was impossible; there was simply no way out!

Even at the Origin Ancestor Realm, the Internal World remained his Origin.

With a flash, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared before the crimson figure.

"Chi!"

The man struggled to remain calm. Looking at the surrounding world that had been reduced to a wasteland, a flash of anger crossed his eyes. "What do you want?"

"What do I want? Ming, is there any point in asking such a childish question now?"

Chi grinned, his smile extremely terrifying. "Back then, several of you sealed me for countless years. Now that I've finally come out, I'm naturally here for revenge!"

Ming said in a low voice, "You've been contaminated by that thing. We only wanted to help you!"

"Help me?"

Chi raised a pair of blood-red claws, a sinister smile of pure ecstasy on his face. "I'm doing great right now. You can't imagine this feeling of being brimming with power. I've been stuck in this Realm for far too long. Only by taking this step can I find the meaning of existence."

He suddenly extended a claw toward Ming and cackled, "Since you're so kind-hearted, why don't you help me once more?"

Ming asked, filled with uncertainty, "How can I help you?"

Chi opened his mouth, his crimson tongue licking the corners of his lips. "It's simple. Come into my mouth, and we shall merge into one to witness a higher Realm together. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Ming was furious. "In your dreams!"

He suddenly froze, breaking into a cold sweat. "Could it be that the others have also been… by you?"

Chi chuckled. "Not quite. You're the first. Aren't you lucky?"

Lucky, my foot!

Ming knew that reasoning with this guy was definitely useless. If it had worked, things wouldn't have come to this.

He suddenly let out a sharp cry, his hands snapping together.

In an instant, the sky darkened and the earth grew dim. The world seemed to be suddenly flattened by a terrifying force. Ming's figure vanished abruptly, while Chi was directly slapped into the collapsing world.

Simultaneously, this world was twisting and deforming at an extreme speed, rapidly shrinking in a certain direction.

"Escape! I must escape!"

At this moment, Ming didn't have the slightest intention of facing Chi.

Years ago, before Chi was sealed, Ming was no match for him. Back then, it was eight against one, let alone now when he was all alone.

His current plan was to first find the other Origin Ancestors and regroup; perhaps that would make Chi hesitate.
