CHAPTER 1935: CHAPTER 1524: TRANS-TEMPORAL ANCHOR POINT

Although the upper half of his body had become a pool of flesh and blood, Li Fan could still "feel" the Reverse Wooden Boat gifted to him by Emperor Tai Tian quietly existing within his "Spirit Consciousness".

At this moment, as Li Fan’s desire for reverse flow intensified, the area surrounding the Reverse Boat began to emit a crystalline, gentle white light, with strands of green accompanying the white glow.

The scenery of the Real World seemed like a painting splashed with water, slowly dissolving and distorting.

A nearly unbearable pain appeared within Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness. It was as if billions of chains were simultaneously piercing through his skull, and then, as they rotated rapidly, these billions of chains churned tumultuously in Li Fan’s brain.

"Aaaaah!"

Even though he no longer had a head, the remaining flesh and tissues of Li Fan began to convulse and tremble due to the indescribable pain.

Although Emperor Tai Tian completely imparted his understanding of the Path of Reverse Flow, he never mentioned the horrifying side effects of activating the Reverse Boat.

Li Fan vaguely remembered that in past simulations, he had also suffered various tortures and pains, but all of them were far less than a tenth of what he was enduring now.

The pain synchronized with flesh, Divine Soul, will, memory.

It seemed to spread into the very core of Li Fan.

Faint sounds of wind and rain gradually came from the surroundings, with countless "water droplets" hitting him head-on.

Each drop was like the sharpest blade in the world, cutting into Li Fan.

Therefore, Li Fan felt even more pain.

But the immense invisible force from memory had already completely crushed the remaining body. With no flesh left, Li Fan, who wished to survive, had no retreat.

In the boundless pain, he barely maintained a trace of clear consciousness, continuing to uphold the power of the Reverse Boat.

The sounds of wind and rain grew louder.

The water droplets no longer came singly but connected in lines.

Amid continuous collisions, the Reverse Boat emitted booming sounds as if it might break apart at any moment.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the hidden green light bloomed, quickly repairing the damages on the boat.

He persisted for nine breaths of time.

The endless lines of water droplets finally converged into a river.

In an instant, Li Fan fell into it, and all the pain he felt vanished in that moment.

He seemed to detach from the entire world.

His perspective rose from the Da Xuan Minor World and Xuanhuang World, paused for a moment, then began to reverse.

Li Fan saw the scene of himself entering the closed village under the Mountain Sea Fishery, saw himself suppressing and subduing the Xuan Huang Ruo Mu, saw himself as the Grand Preceptor who dominated the world, saw himself just awakened to memory and forced to swallow the nauseating Talismanic Water...

The River of Time surged, and the Reverse Wooden Boat trembled as it moved upstream.

It seemed that a slight mistake could lead to capsizing.

However, precisely because of these experiences in past years, they served as Anchor Points, allowing Li Fan to "borrow strength" with each segment of reverse flow and stabilize his position in the river.

But when Li Fan had already retreated one year to the Anchor Point and wanted to flow further upstream, things changed.

The moment he passed this crucial time node, the River of Time’s currents suddenly became a thousand times more fierce.

It was as if moving from a clear, rapid river to a more turbulent, murky area. Li Fan could no longer see any scenes within the River of Time.

All around were lines of movement resembling the fusion of a million colors, concealing the perceptions of Li Fan, the reverse traveler.

The sudden eruption of terrifying power in the river nearly destroyed the unsuspecting Reverse Boat instantly. Compared to the turbulent river, the white light on the boat was extremely weak, not even as strong as any droplet in the river. Yet, it desperately maintained the white light to prevent the boat from being crushed.

Li Fan understood the consequences of failing to reverse.

It was not merely as simple as returning to reality.

He would completely disappear from history, with no trace of his existence left in the world.

Li Fan struggled to alter his own fate.

But compared to the vast River of Time, he was extremely insignificant. Even though he had understood the Path of Reverse Flow, now within the river, he was powerless, leaving everything to fate.

It seemed to be an utter dead end.

Yet Li Fan did not give up on survival, still adhering to the Path of Reverse Flow, desperately maneuvering the Reverse Boat.

While fighting for his life, Li Fan was filled with many puzzles.

According to Emperor Tai Tian’s legacy, the reverse journey should not be this difficult. At least when the time reversal is kept within the range of a thousand years, even a severely damaged and near-disintegrating Reverse Boat should be able to handle the waves within the river.

But now, Li Fan had merely ascended fifty years upstream, yet the sudden waves in the river were already comparable to a scale seen after reversing ten thousand years!

It must be noted, according to Emperor Tai Tian’s experience, the longer you attempt to rewind time into the past, the greater the pressure you would need to endure, almost increasing exponentially.

Yet now that Li Fan had just started, the resistance was already this massive...

It’s hard to imagine the magnitude of the waves he would encounter when attempting to reverse ten thousand, thirty thousand years!

"How could this be!"

Li Fan’s heart was full of wonder and doubt.

Suddenly, he recalled the images from earlier seen in the river belonging to his own experiences.

Those images were present, and the river behaved normally. But when the images vanished, the river waves suddenly surged with the intent to devour Li Fan!
