Eternal Tale

”Nine Heavens Shadow Clan.”

Chen Xun’s eyes were indifferent, devoid of any emotion, as he spoke slowly, ”I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, and finally, you’ve come.”

As he finished speaking, his once drowsy gaze suddenly turned deep and sharp. In mid-air, the black jade blood flower seemed to swirl and bloom, as the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth grew increasingly dense.

At this moment, the injuries of the heavily wounded sinners were visibly healing, their flesh and blood rapidly regaining vitality and life.

Their eyes filled with deep respect, which was the main reason they followed him!

In the Immortal Prison, there was no presence of heaven and earth’s aura, yet the Old Man Crossing the World could create something from nothing, transcending the rules of the Immortal Prison, and this innate spiritual energy could even nourish their bodies!

But the most crucial point was that they were genuinely subdued. After cultivating immortality for thousands of years, they were considered formidable in their realm.

However, facing such a monster, it was beyond comprehension.

The Old Man Crossing the World seemed to be possessed by some ancient monstrous being, completely on a different level from them.

His physical attacks landed on them without any resistance, and his terrifying speed left no chance for escape.They genuinely admired him from the bottom of their hearts, without a trace of resentment. Perhaps only the prodigies on the Chaos Immortal Spirit List of the grand world could truly contend with him, far beyond the prodigies of the heavenly domain.

But what they didn’t know was that Chen Xun would avoid such people if he could, never intending to challenge his lifespan!

Nor did he want to clash with those renowned prodigies of the grand world...

From the beginning, he only sought to pursue his own immortal path, and along the way, eliminate the old villain who issued commands.

Even if you were unrivaled across the Three Thousand Great Worlds, it had nothing to do with him. Perhaps at that time, he might be running a tavern in some mundane place, cooking dishes.

They had no ambition to compete in the immortal path, just seeking a peaceful life.

”Old Man Crossing the World...”

Immortal Absolute’s eyes were filled with determination, his giant-like body facing the white bone remains, ”Dare to fight me? I heard you’re collecting essence blood, so am I. If I lose, you can take all my essence blood!”

His final words were a roar of defiance and unyielding spirit, his body standing even taller.

If he were to fall in the Immortal Prison, if he were to cower before a strong opponent, it would prove that Immortal Absolute was nothing more than that.

”Moo~”

Black Bull snorted, quietly taking out a small booklet, beginning to compare information on the Nine Heavens Shadow Clan.

If someone from this clan overcame the tribulation and ascended to the position of Heavenly Venerable, their true form would begin to grow, towering into the clouds, holding stars in their hands, stepping on ancient fierce beasts, possessing extraordinary vitality and recovery abilities.

Their features were deep, with light blue pupils, vast and profound like the sky, and their thick black hair fluttered in the wind.

Their muscles were bulging, their body lines extremely smooth, with mana contained within their flesh.

They had no golden core, no nascent soul, only the primordial spirit; their muscles and bones were their treasures, a highly gifted race.

Moreover, once they broke through to the Transformation God stage, they could awaken innate divine abilities.

Legend has it that in endless ages, when this clan appeared in the world, they could walk the heavens with their physical bodies, traversing the Nine Heavens, and even with such a strong physique, they could move swiftly like shadows.

The name Nine Heavens Shadow Clan came from this, an ancient race.

During the era of great slaughter among all races, this clan was friendly with the human race, as there was no inherent enmity between them, the former fed on fierce beasts.

They could also refine the essence blood of various races into their bodies, the stronger the clansmen, the fiercer their battle intent.

Countless beings had fallen under them, a race with a particularly hard head, somewhat detached from the immortal path.

But such was the grand world of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, with countless immortal paths, all flourishing, never having one path dominate.

The first generation ruler of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance was from the Nine Heavens Shadow Clan, but as time passed, the influence of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance grew, and this clan began to retreat into the background, no longer participating in much planning and development.

They did not follow the ’Bright Heart and Heavenly Wisdom’ immortal path, their vision somewhat lagging behind.

However, every thousand years, the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance still offered a large amount of cultivating immortality resources to the Nine Heavens Shadow Clan, out of respect for the pioneering sages, not to kick them aside.

The grand world of cultivating immortality had never disrespected the sages, nor casually slandered them, these etiquettes were also part of the grand world’s legacies.

Black Bull’s eyes lit up, this clan matched exactly with the descriptions in the books, finally encountering a race in the Immortal Prison that completely corresponded.

The races they encountered over the past few hundred years, to be honest, the books seemed to exaggerate... they were not living up to their names.

Upon hearing Chen Xun’s words, the suppressed power of Immortal Absolute’s blood and energy was struggling to recover, his eyes fearless: ”Old Man Crossing the World, make your move, I will not flee.”

Chen Xun’s expression was as calm as water, he merely lifted his hand lightly, and the black jade blood flower enveloped him.

At this moment, the land of law patterns exploded with a bang, as one Earth Spirit Essence after another was absorbed from the White Bone Land.

Immortal Absolute’s eyes were filled with shock as he looked around, the ground trembled with dust, and the air was filled with Earth Spirit Essences accumulated over countless years, his eyes gradually bloodshot, his bones creaking.

”Wow...”

Immortal Absolute’s knees bent slightly as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his forehead, arms, every inch of his skin bulging.

He felt as if the power of blood and energy within him was being manipulated, no longer belonging to him, the black jade blood flower like a dark abyss gazing down from above...

”What is this... thing...”

Immortal Absolute roared under the suppression, struggling to lift his foot, but the lifted foot refused to fall, the feeling akin to facing a force suppressing the origin within his body, but...

Wasn’t this the power of the world rules that only a Great Ascension Venerable could wield?!!!

He was merely in the late Void Refinement stage, how could he possibly withstand such power that reached the origin of his body, to cultivate a Body of Rules, at least the Unity realm was needed for even a slight possibility!

Buzz—

A buzzing sound that pierced the primordial spirit echoed in the air, the black jade blood flower, a deep blood-red color, its petals full and round, with a diameter of about ten zhang.

Each petal surface had slight ripples, as if trembling gently, the black jade blood flower transforming and erupting with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with every breath.

Each time, the entire flower would tremble violently, and blood-red light would gush from between the petals, like a surging sea of blood, refined from the essence blood of countless races.

But according to the iron rules of the grand world of cultivating immortality, the essence blood of different races was absolutely repulsive, and forcibly merging them would have unpredictable consequences.

It could not be used for cultivation, unless perhaps by evil cultivators, but it was not the righteous path, unable to go far on the immortal path.

Yet this black jade blood flower seemed to transcend the rules of the grand world of immortality, accomplishing the impossible, a terrifying aura piercing through the void of the Immortal Prison, locking onto Immortal Absolute!

The battle intent in Immortal Absolute’s eyes gradually turned to shock, as two fist-sized masses of dense essence blood were forcibly extracted from his body.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he watched his essence blood merge into the black jade blood flower...

On the White Bone Land, countless sinners bowed their heads, every small gesture expressing respect for the strong, they would never doubt the power of the Old Man Crossing the World beyond the prison, believing it was not just in his physical body.

Such a person would only grow stronger after leaving the prison, until they were beyond reach, completely transcending the restraints of the Void Refinement Realm on him.
