Eternal Tale

Chen Xun’s expression turned sharp and solemn as he gazed into the distant sky with his hands behind his back.

The oppressive force of the chaotic laws of the Great Venerable weighed heavily, causing the powers of the world’s rules he had refined to fall into disarray. Only the power of the Five Elements within him continued to operate steadily. Yet, his demeanor remained calm, as if he had foreseen this moment long ago.

”Chen Xun, with the potential to become a supreme Immortal Venerable in the future, join my chaotic clan, and I promise you will remain unscathed through countless tribulations.”

The grand voice of the chaotic Great Venerable echoed in all directions, like rolling heavenly thunder spreading across the sky. ”Refining hundreds of ancient stars is a gift from our clan to you, as well as a bond between you and the chaotic clan.”

His words were cold and indifferent, looking down on the young Immortal Venerable who had yet to rise. This young man was destined to be a world-changing figure, forcing even him to treat the situation with caution.

However, this young Immortal Venerable’s nature was too suspicious, and it hadn’t changed him much over time. It even forced the Great Venerable to reveal himself, something he hadn’t anticipated.

Boom—

Suddenly, the sky erupted with chaotic thunder, like roars from ancient times. The world fell silent, as if only one person remained!

Chen Xun took a deep breath, his deep gaze piercing through the chaotic space like a beam of light. He calmly said, ”Thank you for the gift, Great Venerable of Chaos, but joining the chaotic clan... is impossible!”

”Your third sister is the incarnation of the Crane Spirit Tree, an ominous being of heaven and earth. The Flaming Red Ancient Lion is a descendant guarding the remnants of the grand world, an inauspicious creature. Only my chaotic clan can coexist with them.”The chaotic Great Venerable spoke coldly, his words carrying an absolute warning and threat. ”Speaking with you here is out of respect for your future, not your present. Can you protect them?”

”Anyone who dares to harm them, I will kill. Even if heaven itself comes, it won’t save them, nor you, nor any immortal, nor any creature in the world!”

Chen Xun’s voice was loud and powerful, like an overwhelming thunderbolt, penetrating the fragments of stars and shaking the entire deep space. ”What of the Tribulation Crossing Great Venerable? As long as they are cultivators, they will face extinction, right...”

As his words fell, his aura surged like a tidal wave, instantly breaking free from the oppressive force of the tribulation laws, impacting the entire chaotic fragments of stars above.

Terrifying powers of rules awakened within him like ancient beasts, devouring the endless chaotic void’s energy, and his realm continued to rise!

A terrifying and absolute pressure caused the entire fragments of stars to tremble, as the vast power of rules enveloped the world.

Every breath and every movement he made was accompanied by the release of boundless rule power.

Chen Xun’s posture grew more upright, standing like an unyielding mountain, confronting the Tribulation Crossing Great Venerable above!

Tuo She stood not far away, his scalp tingling, his blood and energy reversing, his body weak and powerless, with an indelible fear in the depths of his pupils. Chen Xun had never revealed his true strength before!

At this moment, his immortal path origin unknowingly tainted with a wisp of death energy, Tuo She’s face turned pale, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth. His realm and cultivation were unmistakable; he was at the late stage of Great Ascension!

Tuo She’s Dao heart felt like it had fallen into an abyss, his hair standing on end. They intended to use Chen Xun’s immortal path, yet the latter was also using them... a mutual calculation spanning hundreds of years.

The sky.

The chaotic Great Venerable’s gaze gradually revealed a hint of astonishment, but it soon turned to satisfaction. He calmly said, ”It seems your Dao heart is too deeply entangled. Let me sever it for you.”

No matter how powerful the Great Ascension stage is, it’s still just the Great Ascension stage. Being able to break through his oppression is already an extraordinary feat, but... that’s all it is.

Boom—

A pair of massive hands stretched out from the chaotic heavenly thunder, the chaotic Great Venerable’s palms filled with the vast chaotic laws, like a world that had never opened.

His fingers flowed with the power of chaotic heavenly lightning, flashing with dazzling electric light, as if capable of tearing the world apart. And the place he reached for was precisely where Little Crane and the others were in seclusion!

As his palm touched the ground, the entire space shook violently, powerful energy surged, and endless chaotic laws raged, as if to return everything to the chaotic void.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and under his palm, everything became insignificant.

The earth trembled, mountains collapsed, rivers reversed, fragments of stars crumbled, all dissipating with his laws.

His palm released the chaotic laws, merging into the earth, plunging the entire world into a state of chaos.

The power of rules gathered like a torrent, surging endlessly, swallowing everything, returning all to the void.

”Big Brother!!”

”Brother Xun!!!”

”Moo!!!~~”

Several heart-wrenching cries echoed through the heavens and earth. The place touched by the chaotic Great Venerable’s palm instantly turned into a chaotic ocean, devoid of light, order, only endless chaotic power churning.

Their place of seclusion was wiped out in an instant, even Black Bull’s protective formation collapsed in a moment, Little Crane, Little Chi, and the Filthy Longevity Turtle were instantly obliterated, their presence erased from the world...

Black Bull’s pupils trembled violently, snorting continuously, only it could resist, but it couldn’t save them. Under the chaotic laws of the Tribulation Crossing Great Venerable, everything was an illusion.

”Moo~~!!!”

Black Bull let out a deep, mournful cry to the sky, its terrifying aura spreading in all directions. Its honest eyes gradually turned blood-red, and a towering bull’s Dharma Aspect rose from the ground.

The Dharma Aspect was shrouded in vast rule power, like an endless ocean.

This rule power exuded a terrifying aura that made one’s heart palpitate, freezing the aura of the deep space in an instant.

At this moment, boundless death energy erupted like a black sea, enveloping everything, causing even the chaotic laws to stagnate in an instant.

”There’s actually another... a being with the rules of death energy. It seems the chaotic clan’s fortune hasn’t ended. You two will not regret joining the chaotic clan.”

The chaotic Great Venerable had completely torn off his facade, speaking calmly, ”Since the situation has changed, I have no choice but to use such means. It’s not my fault, Chen Xun, don’t you agree?”

His gaze looked down at the human man on the mountain peak, whose eyes were as dark as the abyss, knowing that the extinction of his Dao heart’s entanglement was just beginning. ”Since you don’t want to wait, I will naturally fulfill your wish.”

Though the chaotic Great Venerable appeared calm on the surface, his heart was filled with indescribable shock.

This terrifying rule power that enveloped the world was unprecedented. If he didn’t take action to suppress it today, there might be no chance in the future.

But if they had refined more ancient stars, they wouldn’t have reached the point of tearing off all pretenses today. There would have been gentler means to make them willingly join.

”Only by capturing them first and taking them to the chaotic ancestral land.” The chaotic Great Venerable thought to himself, his gaze fixed on the two somewhat crazed figures.

The mountain peak.

”...Hahaha.” Chen Xun laughed deeply, his whole body trembling with rhythm, his laughter echoing in the deep space, growing louder and louder, even his eyes flickered with lightning. Suddenly, he roared in fury, ”Old Bull!!”

”Moo!!!”

”Enter Tribulation Crossing! At all costs, use the heavenly tribulation to kill this person!”

Boom—

Chen Xun and Black Bull’s eyes were filled with madness, the power of the system fully empowering them, four hundred forty thousand powers of the world’s rules resonated, and the entire fragments of stars shattered into dust in an instant!

The chaotic Great Venerable’s expression changed dramatically, his pupils contracted as if suddenly locked by some great terror from the void.

Boom—

Boom—

Ancient and aged thunder echoed slowly in the chaotic deep space, very slowly, like the heartbeat of a living being accelerating. The chaotic Great Venerable looked up at the deep space in disbelief.

Lightning tore through the boundless darkness, illuminating the entire deep space. At this moment, the entire deep space seemed to be ripped apart, the sound shaking the nine heavens, breaking through the boundless chaos.

Black clouds emerged from the rift, like a surging ocean, enveloping the vast deep space.

Lightning interwove, like ten thousand sharp swords piercing the sky, powerful thunder roared in the void, sounding like the wrath of heaven and earth.

Amidst the crisscrossing lightning, even the slightest trace of thunder exuded destructive power, instantly piercing and destroying all chaotic void.

That was the aura of the thunder laws...

Mighty thunder danced wildly within the tribulation clouds, forming countless terrifying arcs and pillars of lightning, like giant pillars of light supporting the entire deep space!

It rampaged mercilessly in the chaotic deep space, turning everything to ashes, vast and grand.

”...The Great Tribulation of the Chaos Nine Heavens Immortal Thunder, this is the world-ending tribulation!!”

The chaotic Great Venerable’s voice trembled, a hint of fear appearing in the depths of his eyes. He looked down suddenly, roaring, ”Are you crazy?! How dare you cross the tribulation in the chaotic void!! Seeking death!!”

His grand voice hadn’t even spread before it was instantly shattered by the aura of the world-ending heavenly tribulation. The Chaos Nine Heavens Immortal Thunder Great Tribulation... the legendary world-ending thunder tribulation, the great tribulation of all beings’ extinction!

”Chaotic Great Venerable, I, the Dao Ancestor, said that if you dare to harm them in the slightest... even if heaven comes, it won’t save you!”

Chen Xun laughed maniacally, his black hair dancing wildly, his gaze fixed on the sky. ”Even if it means mutual destruction, it’s worth it. After all, old thief, you’ve entered the tribulation!”

”You dare to scheme against me?!!” The chaotic Great Venerable’s eyes showed unprecedented shock, erupting in rage, ”Junior, how dare you!!”

Boom!

Accompanied by a boundless echo in the deep space, countless immortal thunders spanned the heavens and earth, crashing down below!

The endless storm of immortal thunder raged and surged, the thunderous roar composing a terrifying scene of annihilation, even turning the chaotic void to ashes. The aura and sound of all living beings vanished at this moment.

Only the endless roar echoed in the deep space, at this moment, all beings were equal, all would turn to tribulation ash, with no escape, no refuge!

An hour later.

The Chaos Nine Heavens Immortal Thunder Great Tribulation gradually faded, leaving the space twisted and collapsed, slowly swallowed by the surrounding chaotic void, erasing all traces of what once was.

The chaotic Great Venerable, fallen.

Tuo She, fallen.

Chen Xun, fallen.

Ximen Black Bull, fallen.

Nangong Heling, fallen.

Beiming Red Lion, fallen.

Filthy Longevity Turtle, fallen.

...

The names of four from the Longevity Clan all perished on the endless immortal path, and even the chaotic clan found no trace, unable to retrieve any information, all obliterated by the world-ending tribulation.
