Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 124: The Unkillable Taboo and the Shift of Great Karma


At this moment, they all noticed that the Reincarnation Zero Ring on his finger had disappeared without their knowledge.

After he had been trapped here by them for a hundred thousand years, nothing could escape, let alone his Lifebound Artifact.

It should be known that the most mysterious and terrifying Magical Treasure he possessed was the Reincarnation Zero Ring in his hand.

It is said that he was able to grow step by step to his current level because of the Stone Ring in his possession. When he was still weak, it was also because of this ring that he managed to escape time and time again.

But... clearly, when he was trapped, he still wore the ring on his hand, so why is it missing now?

During these hundred thousand years of his entrapment, the five of them had been watching him, always keeping an eye on the Stone Ring on his hand. How could it have disappeared?

However, his true body was always here and never left.

Moreover, in order to prevent external factors, the five of them directly shattered all the laws within the world where he was trapped, grinding even the space to powder, so even if anyone from the outside wanted to save him, there was no medium to approach him.

The world he was in was just chaos, with nothing at all.

In addition, with the five of them constantly watching, it was absolutely impossible for anyone from the outside to approach him, much less take the Ancient Ring from his hand.

So, where did the problem occur?

....

The five fell into silence. No matter how they deduced, having explored countless possibilities, they couldn't find even a single possible existence.

If this is the case, even if they completely killed him but did not obtain the Reincarnation Zero Ring, their five clans would have suffered heavy losses.....

At this time, a voice sounded: "Is there a possibility that those two juniors successfully beheaded his past body and have already snatched the Reincarnation Zero Ring, leading to the current ring he had no longer existing?"

Once this was said, the other four suddenly understood.

"This is the only possibility."

"It seems, it has already succeeded."

The five of them visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't deduce this possibility earlier because I didn't think he would have gotten the Reincarnation Zero Ring when he was only a teenager."

"Moreover, he obtained the Reincarnation Zero Ring in an utterly low-level small world."

....

"This is fortune; he himself is a forbidden existence accumulating the fortune of heaven and earth. If he hadn't obtained the Reincarnation Zero Ring in his teens, it would be stranger."

"Indeed, only with such fortune could he grow to this level."

The five sighed with emotion.

The five of them had laid out a plan for a million years, exhausted countless trump cards, and could only trap him temporarily, but to kill him, they had to start by killing his past body. From this point alone, one could see how strong he was.

....

"But... if it has indeed succeeded, why hasn't his physical body disappeared?"

The question returned to this issue.

The past body had already been slain, and the Reincarnation Zero Ring had been seized, yet his physical body had not disappeared.

When everything is reasonable, the only unreasonable part gets infinitely magnified.

...

At this moment.

One of the figures sensed something, their body shuddered in surprise, "The two juniors from our clan have returned!"

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the other four stirred, and rare, wildly joyful expressions appeared on their faces,

The return of the two juniors meant that they had succeeded because if he really had a backhand strategy, they would definitely not have survived to return.

When this day finally came, the five even felt a hint of disbelief that they had truly succeeded in killing him!

The unkillable forbidden existence had indeed died at their hands.

"He should be completely dead now; as for why his physical body hasn't dissipated... there's no need to delve further."

"Perhaps his physical body has been cultivated to a certain height, evaded the laws, and was preserved. In any case, anything impossible happening to him is normal."

"Let's take his body back first."

At this moment, the five prepared to take action and remove the corpse of the elder sitting at the Chaos Center. Obtaining his physical body is indeed a great fortune and treasure for the five clans.

Just as they were about to act.

Suddenly, the Chaotic World became static, and those law fragments floating in the void also froze in place, as if they had become a static painting.

And in the center of the painting, the elder slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and became the only figure in the painting.

When they saw the elder stand up, the five were instantly frozen, their minds blank, unable to believe the scene before them.

However, they sensed that although he had revived, his Cultivation Realm had fallen by a level, and he was in a very poor state, weak.

At this critical juncture, they didn't have time to think too much, simultaneously taking action, directly crushing the void, and advancing to annihilate the elder.

The next second, their attacks missed, and by the time they came to their senses, the elder's figure had disappeared.

Suddenly, the five sensed something and sharply raised their heads, finding him already standing above the Realm Sea, high in the sky before them.

Now facing him at close range, an uncontrolled fear grew within the five.....

At this moment, they realized the gap, even though his Cultivation Realm had dropped by a level and he was incredibly weak, they still couldn't kill him!

"Your past body has been slain, and the Reincarnation Zero Ring has been taken; why are you still here!"

At this moment, one of the figures angrily questioned the elder.

The elder exhaled heavily, reorganizing the new memories in his mind.

Then slowly lowered his head, looking down at the five, his hoarse voice echoed: "Who told you.... my past body was killed?..."

"To satisfy your curiosity and let you die knowing clearly, it doesn't matter to tell you.."

"Your two useless juniors didn't kill my past."

"My Stone Ring isn't missing because it was taken, but because I gave it away."

The elder had anticipated from the start that his younger self would undoubtedly give away the Stone Ring due to a life-saving grace.

From his new memories, he knew that his teenage self had been rescued by him in the River of Time, giving away the ring, leaving himself with the old ring, which disappeared after leaving the River of Time.

Because that old ring was originally given to the past by his future body, only one Reincarnation Ancient Ring could exist.

However, losing the Reincarnation Zero Ring's enhancement at a young age, today's cultivation has only dropped by one level, which is an acceptable result.

...

At this time, one of the five received a transmission from far away at home, their eyes widening.

"Failed..."

"The two juniors from my clan said the mission failed; they chased him to the River of Time and were rescued by a River Guardian...."

Once this was said, the remaining four also showed incredulous expressions,

A River Guardian above the River of Time?!
