Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 43: Space-Time Kun Beast? It's Just Spicy Fish Head!


Su Mu took a step back, and with a strong tug, he pulled a massive carp instantly out of the water.

The carp, with its deep blue eyes, had tightly packed purplish-golden scales arranged in neat rows on its body. Especially its tail, which unlike a normal fish tail, resembled a pair of scissors, glistening with a faint light.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu's eyes lit up.

This was indeed a Treasure Fish!

After days of fishing, he finally caught a big one.

With a powerful swing of his arm, Su Mu flipped the massive carp onto the riverbank in an instant.

He put down the fishing rod and quickly approached the carp, pinching its gills firmly with his thumb and forefinger. As he lifted it up, he weighed it and realized this fish was unusually heavy, explaining why it had given him such a hard time.

Su Mu was no longer surprised by the weight of these Treasure Fish since he gradually sensed the extraordinariness of this river; there were indeed many Treasure Fish!

.....

At the same time, in another world.

It had been ten years since Xiao Huo arrived in this world, and in his twenties, he had already become a major figure.

On this day, following the guidance of the grandfather in his ring, he, along with other seniors, arrived at the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm.

At this moment, an epic battle was unfolding at the center stone plain of the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm, with major figures from all sides vying for the treasure in the sky above the stone plain.

The treasure's appearance was unclear, shrouded in a halo of Immortal Light. Just the powerful aura it emitted revealed it to be one of the most precious Secret Treasures in the Secret Realm!

Even though Xiao Huo was a major figure, he clearly lacked the qualifications to participate in such a battle, and could only watch from afar.

"Master, can you see what kind of treasure this is?"

Xiao Huo transmitted a question to the Space Ring on his finger.

This wasn't just his golden finger; no, it wasn't just a golden finger—this was his master, his benefactor, who helped him rise step by step to where he was today.

The soul within the Space Ring remained silent for a long while before transmitting a message: "I can't see it clearly, but I suggest you don't get involved. Although I can't discern what this treasure is, I have a feeling... something's not right."

Hearing this, Xiao Huo chuckled, saying, "Master, you overestimate me. Even if I wanted to get involved, I don't have the strength to do so."

"With your current strength, for sure you can't, but if I possess you, it's possible to snatch it. However, I feel there's something peculiar, so it's best for us to just observe this time."

Hearing this, Xiao Huo nodded in agreement: "I'll follow your instructions, Master."

.....

At this moment, four powerful entities in this vast domain were fiercely engaged in battle. Just the aftermath of their fight caused the earth to crack, deterring other cultivators from approaching.

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

Unknown when, dark clouds appeared above the stone plain, spreading to the horizon, covering the entire Secret Realm.

Immediately after, a tremendous oppressive force descended from the dark clouds. In an instant, everyone under this oppressive force found themselves unable to move, as if petrified.

They struggled to look up at the dark clouds in the void. Weaker cultivators, overwhelmed by this immense oppressive force, fainted on the spot.

.....

Xiao Huo too stared in horror at the dark clouds above, his pupils constricting, a look of fear on his face.

In the next second, a massive beast's shadow appeared within the dark clouds.

The beast's shadow was so enormous that it nearly filled the entire dark cloud. Only part of its tail could be seen, shaped like two Divine Scissors, with a slight snip directly cutting open a spatial rift!

Everyone held their breath, staring at this terrifying beast's shadow.

At this point, the four powerful entities, upon seeing the beast's shadow's scissor-like tail, recalled something.

It wasn't just them; many other cultivators also remembered an ancient legend!

Legend has it that at the southern end of the continent, in the Sea of Nanshu, there is a Space-Time Kun Beast that possesses the ability to slice through space, roaming through spatial rifts, traversing ancient Secret Realms across the continent, devouring humans and Secret Treasures.

Nobody knows what level of power the Space-Time Kun Beast possesses.

But they knew that eight hundred years ago, an Elder Sword God ventured into the Sea of Nanshu to slay the Space-Time Kun Beast, only to be devoured before even setting foot in the Sea of Nanshu. He didn't even have the strength to face it. It was that battle that cemented the Space-Time Kun Beast's legendary status, after which no one dared approach the Sea of Nanshu again.

Unexpectedly, after eight hundred years, they once again witnessed the Space-Time Kun Beast!

They dared not move, and couldn't if they wanted to, as a powerful sense of despair spread in their hearts.

.....

"Disciple, be ready!"

At this point, a Divine Thought from the Space Ring reached Xiao Huo's mind.

Xiao Huo activated his Cultivation Technique, adjusting to his optimal state, ready at any moment for his master to possess him.

He knew very well that if the Space-Time Kun Beast attacked, with his power, there was no chance of escape. He must rely on his master's possession,

.....

Just when everyone was bracing for death, the Space-Time Kun Beast suddenly turned its direction towards the treasure enveloped in Immortal Light above the stone plain, swallowing it in one gulp!

With this single gulp, space was immediately shattered, swallowing the treasure they had been vying for completely.

Subsequently, a terrifying scene occurred.

The moment the Space-Time Kun Beast swallowed the treasure, a beam of Immortal Light shot up from its body, like a line, the end of which disappeared into the void above.

The Space-Time Kun Beast let out a painful howl, its powerful aura distorting the space around it.

Within less than three seconds, the massive body of the Space-Time Kun Beast suddenly lost balance.

In almost an instant, it was drawn into the void by that Immortal Light and vanished into the void, disappearing without a trace!

The entire process took only a single breath!

Some people hadn't even reacted when the Space-Time Kun Beast was already gone.

This sense of déjà vu was as if it had been fished away by someone!

...

It wasn't until half a stick of incense time after the Space-Time Kun Beast was dragged into the void that people slowly came to their senses and madly fled the Secret Realm!

Because, above the void, there exists an entity even more powerful than the Space-Time Kun Beast!

Xiao Huo, without the slightest hesitation, took off running, running for a full three hours before finally escaping the Secret Realm.

.....

"Thankfully, Master had the foresight!"

Xiao Huo said, gasping for breath.

Thinking back to just now, it was indeed thrilling. If his master had possessed him, even if they managed to snatch that treasure, the outcome would surely have been the same as that of the Space-Time Kun Beast!

That wasn't a treasure at all—more like bait!

Using a treasure as bait to directly fish away the Space-Time Kun Beast, what kind of powerful entity could that be!

.....

After a long while, a voice from his master came from the Space Ring: "Disciple, I feel that perhaps the dream you once told me about might not be just a dream."
