Eternal Tale

Beyond the ancient star, darkness reigned.

Tuo She’s eyes were vacant, his four pairs of arms spread wide, drifting aimlessly in the chaotic void, still feeling as though he were trapped in a dream.

It wasn’t until two dark shadows appeared before him, accompanied by the eerie sound of bells, that he was jolted back to reality.

But when he saw Chen Xun’s black hood up close, his injuries suddenly worsened, his expression shifting dramatically... It was as if a thousand words were stuck in his throat, yearning to be spoken.

Yet in such circumstances, none of it mattered anymore, and his mind gradually calmed.

Tuo She managed a difficult smile and said softly, ”All my resurrection methods are hidden within this ancient star. It seems I can’t escape this calamity. To duel with you before I die is truly an honor for Tuo She.”

The stars that blotted out the sky had already destroyed his backup plans for resurrection; everything was meaningless now. They had long set their sights on this ancient star, well-prepared.

His body remained motionless, still drifting, his eyes filled with a sense of resignation and acceptance of the end of his immortal path.

Chen Xun’s gaze sharpened, and he smiled faintly, ”I didn’t come here to kill you.”

”Oh?” Tuo She, covered in blood, trembled slightly as he spoke in a low voice, ”May I ask what the Immortal Venerable seeks... Tuo She will speak without reservation.”Immortal Venerable?!

Chen Xun’s heart skipped a beat, a glimmer appeared in his indifferent eyes, and he couldn’t help but smile. This old guy from the chaotic clan was quite perceptive...

”Moo?!” Black Bull glanced at Chen Xun’s sly smile in surprise. It believed it again! Chen Xun was indeed the Immortal Venerable!

Chen Xun slightly tilted his head back, hands behind his back, looking profound, ”In fact, we have been observing you and this ancient star for two years, only acting today.”

”What?!” Tuo She almost sat up in shock from his deathbed. With such strength, you’re telling me you’ve been lurking outside the ancient star for two years?!!

Veins bulged on his forehead as he struggled to look at them with his peripheral vision. No wonder they could cultivate to such terrifying power; who could capture and kill such beings?

”Hehe, naturally, we had to avoid the detection of some tribulation-crossing evil spirits. We could afford to wait.”

Chen Xun’s face was kind, his words unusually calm, ”These ancient stars seem to be guarded by your lineage, right? Would you be willing to work for me?”

”...Tuo She is willing to have my clan follow you, but not just because of your strength.”

Tuo She’s breath was weak, but he managed a feeble smile, ”Willing to guide the Immortal Venerable, the chaotic void’s ancient stars can fall into your hands, providing all information on ’evil spirits from beyond the boundary.’”

”What do you need?”

”The major clans of the chaotic void have lost their momentum. The ancient immortal kingdoms of the grand world are jointly mobilizing. My clan doesn’t want to disappear into the river of time. After meeting the Immortal Venerable, we just want to survive.”

Tuo She’s posture was exceptionally humble, his tired eyes flashing with brilliance, ”The Immortal Venerable bears no immortal kingdom’s fortune, a grand world cultivator not bound by any forces. Tuo She is willing to stake the fortune of this chaotic clan lineage!”

”Hahaha...”

As Tuo She finished speaking, a thunderous laugh echoed from the void, cold and indifferent eyes fixed on Tuo She, ”Tuo She, harboring evil spirits from beyond the boundary is a capital offense.”

”The Immortal Venerable’s words will be the holy decree of heaven and earth in the future. If you let my clan live, we can live; if you let my clan exist, we can exist.”

Tuo She took a deep breath, his words neither humble nor arrogant, ”My clan guards the chaotic ancient stars, with little entanglement with the grand world’s beings. I hope the Immortal Venerable will... consider carefully.”

After speaking, his throat rolled continuously, his thoughts drifting far away, the grand actions of the ancient immortal kingdoms, opening territories towards the chaotic void.

The legends of the Boundless True Immortal Realm... The truly golden and prosperous era seems to be descending, and he actually encountered such a world-shaking figure as the Immortal Venerable.

If he didn’t board this immeasurable warship now, he could only follow the chaotic clan to eternal extinction in the river of time, becoming a topic of history for others.

Great opportunities flash by in an instant, and one must grasp them tightly.

The hatred between their chaotic clan and the grand world cultivators has lasted countless millennia, a never-ending cycle, likely leading to mutual destruction in the end.

Chen Xun’s Five Elements Immortal Eyes looked down at him coldly, the vast and deep pupils revealing no emotion, yet suddenly showing a hint of interest.

”Since you know the times, come aboard.” Chen Xun said calmly, his tone revealing no joy or anger.

Buzz—

As Tuo She slowly raised his head, his heart trembled.

Above him, a massive black giant turtle slowly emerged from the void, its body enormous, like a moving immortal mountain!

The giant turtle opened its massive mouth, letting out a deafening roar that reverberated through the chaotic void.

Its black eyes revealed a hint of laziness and bloodthirst, now slowly staring at Tuo She drifting in the void.

The corners of the giant turtle’s mouth cracked open like a slowly splitting chasm in the earth, as if it had seen prey... the scent of life.

On its back grew a magnificent ancient tree, its branches like the heavenly stems, its leaves like black and white stars, exuding vitality and a vast Five Elements aura.

Behind the giant turtle, formations glowing with formation Dao patterns appeared out of thin air.

They formed a powerful array, protecting the giant turtle’s massive body as it roamed the chaotic void.

And if one looked closely, they could see a treasure ship seemingly docked at the center of the turtle’s back.

On it, a woman dangled her feet at the bow, and a lion dog covered with a tattered quilt sat beside her.

”What kind of creature is this... what kind of strange combination of grand world beings?!”

Tuo She was speechless, his heart churning, staring in shock at the scene above.

Too many things beyond his understanding had happened today, and even his calm heart was stirred into a storm.

Yet his expression remained serene, his eyes flashing with brilliance, not worrying about his life or death, as he was suddenly enveloped by a stream of light and rushed upwards.

The world changed, and in the blink of an eye, they returned to the sky beyond the ancient star.

Chen Xun’s eyes were endlessly calm, one hand covering the sky, while Black Bull was setting up formations on the ancient star’s ground.

The entire ancient star was manipulated in their hands, pure rule power surged towards them, and the treasure land cultivated by the grand world’s evil spirits for years became their nourishment in just one day.

Tuo She’s eyes were calm, but his brow twitched uncontrollably. What kind of heavenly laws were these, refining stars with a wave, turning them to one’s use, even more terrifying than the devouring laws...

”Tuo She, lead the way and keep watch. Some things will be discussed on the road. If you do well, I will naturally reward you, and preserving your lineage is not impossible.”

”Thank you, Immortal Venerable!!” Tuo She almost knelt before Chen Xun, the impact of those words on his Dao heart was more intense than meeting any world-shaking Immortal Venerable.

Step...

The massive giant turtle carried them away, gradually disappearing into the silent chaotic void.

In the days that followed, with Tuo She as an insider, ancient stars in the chaotic void were mysteriously harvested, and even hundreds of Great Ascension Venerables among the evil spirits inexplicably fell!

A terrifying title gradually echoed among the evil spirits from beyond the boundary, and hunters of stars had appeared in the chaotic void, requiring Tribulation Crossing Venerables to guard!

However, the entire battlefield beyond the boundary had already turned into chaos, with cultivators from the Three Thousand Great Worlds continuously pouring into the battlefield, and the evil spirits from beyond the boundary also giving their all, leaving no room for other concerns.

Two hundred years later, the terrifying legend of the hunters of stars had gradually spread into the battlefield beyond the boundary, with the military courts of various immortal kingdoms listing this person as a key figure of interest, unsure if they were friend or foe, and unaware of their whereabouts.

In the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom, the Blood-Clothed Immortal King personally set out, leaving only a faint message: ”I will personally seek this person out for an important matter.”

However, a hundred years after the Blood-Clothed Immortal King left, there was no news, and only a corpse collector emerged.

Not only the evil spirits and cultivators, but even ancient spirit beasts like the cloud kun and heavenly roc were within its scope of collection...

In the deep space of the chaotic void, the eerie sound of bells and suonas echoed through the river of war, the deep space filled with the tombs of various grand world clans, a sight that made one’s scalp tingle and soul tremble!

Yet these events could not halt the advance of the war beyond the boundary, with seas of blood and countless bones, no one could predict when this world-shaking battle would end.

Another century of war quietly passed, and the vast and boundless battlefield beyond the boundary had even forcibly created some mysterious realms, incomparably mysterious...

A terrifying grand world cultivator known as the Old Man Crossing the World emerged, astonishing a region of the battlefield beyond the boundary!
