You can become stronger by lying down

The void was still in a broken state. The power of Emperor Wu was too profound and unfathomable. Even time and space were vaguely changing. The long river of time was looming, and the roar of the waves hitting the shore spanned endless years and reached the present world.

Dai Yu's expression was moved, and his vision gradually became clear. Glass fragments of different sizes flew in front of his eyes. They were fragments of time, recording the past that was covered by history.

Emperor Wu raised his chin slightly, sitting high in the main seat, looking at Dai Yu indifferently, and said domineeringly: "I have heard countless jokes in my life, and yours is the most ridiculous."

He has been an immortal for a long time, transcending the secular world. He is a person standing on the top of the mountain. For countless years, he has only been accompanied by the lonely cold wind. Reading the past and present, there are very few people who can match him. He is one of the strongest people in ancient and modern times.

And what about Dai Yu? He is just a humble ant. Even if he is extremely talented and ranks first among his peers, he still cannot change the reality of being an ant.

The ant challenging the giant elephant is like a mantis trying to shake a tree. There is no so-called respectability, only laughter and ridicule.

Dai Yu stood in the center of the broken void. It was dark all around him, but there was some light there, which looked like a candle in the dark night, particularly dazzling.

"There are so many ridiculous things in the world, and I am not the only one who can make a fool of myself."

He said calmly, "What's more, I am not talking about a joke, but a dream, a dream to defeat you."

There was a sharp flash in Wu Huang's eyes, and he suddenly clapped his hands. The loud clapping sounded deafening, and he said in a magnificent voice: "Okay, very good, I will take on your challenge. I will give you time to grow. Then, I will tear your dream apart with my own hands! Let you know that some things cannot be violated."

Dai Yu's eardrums trembled, and his head was buzzing. He said fearlessly: "I hope that Lord Wu Huang will keep his word and never let my dream come true, otherwise I will laugh at you."

Wu Huang sneered. He has an endless life span, no disasters, and overlooks the long river of time. He is used to seeing the vicissitudes of life and the destruction of the era. Who can defeat him?

He snapped his fingers, and the collapsed void instantly recovered as before. The rocks that were ground into powder by the supreme power were reassembled together. Time seemed to have reversed and returned to the previous moment.

Dai Yu's turbulent heart calmed down, sweating, his chest heaving up and down, and his breathing was a little rapid.

To be honest, he was really scared just now. Don't look at his calm appearance, but he was actually panicking.

If he hadn't undergone rigorous Daoxin training since he was a child, and his father often warned him not to panic when encountering things, he would have knelt down long ago.

Keep smiling in the face of despair, this sentence is the most appropriate to describe him.

Throughout the ages, he may be the first younger generation who dared to talk to the Martial Emperor like this and was not killed.

The Martial Emperor put down his crossed legs, raised his hand into the dark void, took out a cup of steaming, fragrant tea, took a sip, and said: "You have discussed what you want, and now let's talk about business, about my inheritance."

Dai Yu looked serious, clasped his fists and said: "Please speak."

The inheritance of the immortal is a matter that cannot be bigger, and it cannot be played with.

Emperor Wu put down his teacup, stood up from the throne, and said, "It's very simple to get my inheritance. Defeat me. That's the only condition."

Dai Yu looked dazed. Defeat you? You must be kidding! You want me, who is only in the Soul Crossing Realm, to fight you. Isn't that nonsense?

Even if you want to fight, wait until the day I become an immortal.

Seeing Dai Yu's bewildered look, Emperor Wu said, "Why are you so flustered? I didn't ask you to fight me now, I asked you to fight me in the past."

He paused and added, "To be precise, it's me in the Soul Crossing Realm in the past. As long as you can succeed, the inheritance will be given to you."

Dai Yu suddenly realized that it was a fight between people of the same realm. He thought he was fighting Emperor Wu in the Immortal Realm!

Expectation appeared in his eyes. It was an interesting thing to fight Emperor Wu when he was young. He really wanted to know how powerful Emperor Wu was at that time.

"I can see that you are impatient, but I remind you that I was very strong when I was young, even stronger than I am now in some aspects."

The Emperor Wu drank the tea in one gulp and threw the teacup into the dark void.

Dai Yu's restless heart suddenly calmed down, pondering the meaning of Emperor Wu's words. What does it mean that I was stronger in the past than now?

The Emperor Wu pressed his palm against the void, and the hot golden runes appeared one by one from top to bottom. The runes burst into a soft halo, and the roaring sound of waves came again. A small section of the river appeared, and the river water was crystal clear, carrying the power of time.

That was a tributary of the long river of time. Emperor Wu used supreme means to intercept it.

But the intercepted time cannot be long. The long river of time runs through the entire ancient history and contains countless causes and effects. Even if you are as strong as Emperor Wu, you cannot get involved too much, otherwise it will bring unpredictable consequences.

The period of time that Emperor Wu intercepted is about himself personally, and it will not have much impact on his future self.

Dai Yu was shocked and had a new understanding of the power of the Martial Emperor. This man with a bad temper was a little too strong. He could even intervene in the past.

"I wonder if my father has such power."

He couldn't help but think of his father, the Demon Emperor, who was also a man of unknown power. He had never seen him fight since he was born. He only heard many elders briefly mention that the Demon Emperor was the strongest in the world and no one could compare to him.

The Emperor Wu's deep eyes penetrated the mist of time and saw his past self, a wild and uninhibited young man holding a giant axe, laughing while chasing a nine-orifice beast.

"I can't compare to my past self." Reminiscence appeared in his eyes, and he missed the past.

After going through so many hardships, he was no longer the young and energetic boy when he returned.

The Emperor Wu turned his head and looked at Dai Yu, saying, "I will send you back to the past and look forward to your performance."

"Don't worry, my performance will not disappoint you. I will take your inheritance." Dai Yu's blood boiled and he couldn't help but say something crazy.

The Emperor Wu rarely responded to him and said calmly, "I also want to see what my past self would look like if he was defeated."

After the communication, he opened the time node and sent Dai Yu back to the past.

…

“Stop, you can’t run away. If you run again, I’ll chop you into meat sauce and make dumplings for you.”

The young Wu Huang yelled and swung his axe. The sharp edge of the axe slashed across the ground, leaving a wide gully.

The strange beast was so scared that it ran away without even looking back. This man was too scary. It just glanced at him from a distance and was chased all the way. It was so miserable.

Suddenly, a meteor fell from the sky and hit the Wu Huang in front of him. Wu Huang had no choice but to stop. The strange beast took the opportunity to speed up and escape, getting rid of the pursuit.
