They hid within the roots, borrowing the World Tree to preserve their lives. If only those stowaways could convert matter and energy and steal the mass-energy of a future universe, they might seize the chance to escape the great calamity of annihilation and win rebirth!
Yet by Shen Mu's reckoning, the World Tree at this moment was tottering, hard pressed to save itself! He also saw a giant of towering stature swinging an axe, hewing at the World Tree!
That giant's form was hazy and dim, like a phantom; it must be Tai Yi of a future universe felling this precious tree that had endured sixteen cosmic epochs, cutting it down to sever the hopes of those stowaways!
And those prehistoric mighty ones who had already clambered onto the precious tree's roots wailed and cried to the heavens, cursing the giant's phantom; no doubt Tai Yi had gathered upon himself every kind of vicious curse. "Tai Yi is truly fierce!
" Shen Mu could not help exclaiming in admiration, and drew back his gaze.
He had no sure confidence of crossing this Chaos River.
He saw that in the river were many powerful beings — some with nothing left but bones, some with nothing but souls, some with nothing but dao fruits — all stirring restlessly, seeking to seize those who crossed and drag them down into the water so as to get themselves ashore.
To fall into the river is certain death!
"So how did the Ten Heavenly Venerables cross? " Shen Mu peered into the river, and suddenly, faintly, through the qi of chaos, made out the figure of Heavenly Venerable Xiao — Heavenly Venerable Xiao stood upon a dao tree, using the dao tree as a boat, sailing toward the far bank!
His gaze traveled farther still, and his heart gave a leap: the Ten Heavenly Venerables were, at this very moment, all within the river!
