This spear strike reached the pinnacle of speed, powerful divine astral power converging at the tip to form a golden spear light, directly aimed at Su Mu's head.

With this blow, he intended to cripple Su Mu.

Because this place was the River of Time, An Nan dared not unleash his full power. If it were his own Exotic Realm or anywhere else, he could have just used a single pressure to make a mere Earth Immortal beg for mercy.

The terrifying spear light reached his eyes in an instant, and due to its incredible speed, Su Mu could only dodge.

He operated the ninth layer of the "Holy Abyss Technique," leaving an afterimage the second before, granting him a brief moment of invincible evasion.

The spear light pierced through Su Mu's neck instantly. Seeing this, An Nan showed a disappointed expression, not expecting that even one move couldn't be taken. There was no talk of enjoyment, not even the qualification to pique his interest.

In the next second, his back went cold, and An Nan's pupils contracted sharply as he turned his hand to block behind him.

Crash—

A collision sound echoed as An Nan nearly had the golden spear in his hand knocked away, retreating several meters before stabilizing himself.

At that moment, An Nan realized he had only struck an afterimage just now, and in that brief moment, the opponent had already reached his back. Luckily, he realized in time, or he would have been caught off guard.

"Such fast body technique!"

Even An Nan couldn't help but admire the power of his cultivation technique. Although in this River of Time his strength was suppressed, his strike shouldn't have been dodged by a mere Earth Immortal, let alone a Celestial Immortal Perfection.

Su Mu's "Holy Abyss Technique" was indeed extraordinary; it was something he found under a stone while patrolling one day, discovered the characters on the scroll, and found it to be remarkably good. After that, he used favor points to constantly enhance it to the tenth layer.

The recent Holy Abyss Ninth Layer, a normal Earth Immortal cultivator could use at most three times in one battle, because the consumption was too enormous.

But even three times were absurdly ample, equivalent to three forgivings for being hit.

However, Su Mu himself tested, he could use it ten times in an hour, meaning that the enemy must kill him eleven times in an hour to defeat him; otherwise... Su Mu would stand undefeated!

...

"It seems... you have many secrets hidden within you."

Said An Nan as he waved his hand, ancient golden characters swirling around himself and the spear point, the pressure several times stronger than before.

He planned to cripple Su Mu, then capture him back to the Exotic Realm, using soul search to seize all of his fortunes.

Thus, collision sounds echoed one after another.

Due to the vast power difference, in the next half an hour, Su Mu was hit six times, each time evading with Su Mu's Nine Techniques of the Holy Abyss.

However, through consecutive battles, Su Mu also gained new insights, vaguely touching the threshold of the Celestial Immortal Realm.

The more he fought, the more unrest filled An Nan's heart. What kind of cultivation technique was he practicing that allowed him to dodge his six sure-kill moves?

Since this area was the River of Time, he couldn't deploy a domain, otherwise, once he did, no matter how refined his body technique, within the domain, death would be inevitable.

After An Nan hit Su Mu for the ninth time, almost an hour had passed.

He understood clearly that he couldn't delay any longer.

The time flow on the River of Time was different from the Exotic Realm, and the longer he stayed here, the more likely something could go wrong in his own Exotic Realm later.

Suddenly, Su Mu's aura exploded, countless immortal charms swirling around him, the powerful impact sending the unguarded An Nan retreating several meters.

At this moment, Su Mu felt every inch of his cells in his body were sublimating, his entire being transforming, this mystical sensation as if roaming the nine heavens, ethereal and sacred.

Celestial Immortal Realm!

Su Mu gained insight during the battle, breaking through that bottleneck directly to enter the Celestial Immortal Realm!

Only upon truly breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm did Su Mu comprehend the vast difference between a Celestial Immortal and an Earth Immortal, an insurmountable chasm would be an understatement!

Seeing this, a solemn expression finally appeared on An Nan's face.

He did not expect the opponent to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm in such a short period. To know, it took him five thousand years to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, which was already considered quite fast.

Ordinary Earth Immortal Perfection cultivators, unless encountering a heaven-defying fortune, would never touch the Celestial Immortal Realm in their lifetime.

Celestial Immortal, Earth Immortal, one is heaven, one is earth, the difference is a whole world apart!

After the breakthrough, Su Mu started his counterattack.

An Nan, perhaps disoriented, was briefly suppressed by Su Mu's momentum, retreating step by step.

At this moment, fog suddenly appeared on the river surface.

Feeling the fog spreading continuously, An Nan finally panicked, realizing he could not continue entangling like this.

Instinctively planning to leave the River of Time first, returning to the Exotic Realm.

However, to An Nan's incredulity, this man seemed unaffected by the time mist, growing more courageous as the battle progressed.

At this moment, he decided not to drag things further, a powerful golden primordial celestial force accompanied a thrust with his spear.

Seeing this, Su Mu waved his hand, a silver dagger appeared in his hand, meeting the long spear.

Crash—

At the moment of collision, An Nan realized something, staring wide-eyed.

Crack—

A cracking sound echoed, the golden spear in his hand instantly fractured!

As it fractured, the shield in An Nan's left hand came up to block.

After cutting through An Nan's golden spear, the silver dagger thrust towards the shield.

Thud—

The immortal shield he prided in shattered instantly into pieces.

Shattering the golden spear, piercing through the immortal shield, heading towards An Nan's chest!

Seeing this, An Nan's pupils contracted sharply, utterly flustered.

What level of weapon was the dagger in his hand?!

His immortal shield was an Immortal King level ancient shield, having accompanied him through battles for tens of thousands of years without any damage,

Yet now, with just a single blow, it shattered completely.

An Nan's spiritual power burst forth, instantly shifting a position, missing his strike, An Nan turned to leave.

His natal weapon already damaged, the mist on the river thickening, if the stalemate continued, something might go wrong, retreat to the Exotic Realm, recover, and then return to kill!

With An Nan's cultivation realm, if he wanted to escape, even an Immortal King at great success couldn't catch up.

Within a single breath, An Nan had reached the end of the river, about to vanish into the mist.

Witnessing this, how could Su Mu let him escape like that?

He slowly raised his right hand, employing the Water Control Divine Technique, the waters in An Nan's region, immediately froze.

At this moment, An Nan looked down at the frozen waters of the River of Time beneath his feet, pupils contracting sharply, looking up again at the silhouette in the mist at the end of the river, a strong sense of unease grew within!
