Eternal Tale

Deep within the chaos, at the center of an ancient star hundreds of times larger than an ordinary one.

Hiss!

The chaotic Great Venerable suddenly awoke, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. As the blood hit the ground, the earth began to tremble, cracks rapidly spreading, torn apart by an invisible force.

A strange aura spread out, powerful energy surged beneath the surface, forming a massive energy vortex, like a black hole, devouring everything around it.

The once lush ancient forest quickly withered, trees shriveled, flowers and grass wilted, filled with a chaotic and disorderly aura.

The sky also turned eerie, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed continuously, as if foretelling an impending disaster.

The blood slowly seeped into the ground, triggering changes deep underground, magma erupted, the crust shattered, volcanoes erupted, creating a hellish scene.

He had long cultivated the Body of Chaos Rules, each drop of blood exuding boundless strength, enough to crush mountains and rivers for ten thousand miles, a single hair could sever the spine of a small boundary.

Yet he still couldn’t withstand the world-ending tribulation, his immortal dao origin damaged, his realm plummeting, now his strength barely at the early Tribulation Crossing stage, and it would take thousands of years just to heal...

One could say, falling to such a state had completely cut off his path to the battlefield beyond the boundary, by the time the decisive battle arrived, he might still be recovering.For the entire chaotic clan, this was a significant loss, the Tribulation Crossing Great Venerable was a cornerstone of their lineage, the last immortal dao barrier of the chaotic clan.

”Madman...” the chaotic Great Venerable spoke with a heart-pounding anger, ”Such a world-shaking figure, to recklessly throw away his life like this, the tribulation directly striking the immortal dao origin, no means could resurrect him, madman.”

His brows furrowed deeply, inexplicably drawn into this great tribulation, even if the tribulation wasn’t aimed at him, it wasn’t something he could contend with.

The stronger one’s power, the more terrifying the tribulation, let alone two of them, and more importantly, they dared to undergo tribulation in the chaotic void!

The chaotic void, an unbounded heaven and earth before the world opened, with incomplete laws, a realm of disorder.

To dare undergo tribulation here meant facing the world-ending pressure of the entire chaos, something no living being could withstand.

This was common knowledge for those at the Great Ascension stage of the immortal dao, just to destroy their unformed immortal bodies... was it worth it?!

The chaotic Great Venerable felt a pang of regret at this thought, he had believed such people would cherish their lives immensely, even if they sought revenge later, he had prepared to guide and plan.

As long as they could become part of the chaotic clan, even if his own immortal dao perished, it would be worth it, for the battlefield beyond the boundary left them little time, this was already a war of extermination.

But no matter how much he calculated, he never expected them to be fearless madmen! Madmen who would destroy their own future as supreme Immortal Venerables!

”Gu Wanjun.”

”Gu Jiu, have you found anything?”

The chaotic Great Venerable’s face was calm as he looked at the figure in the chaotic mist in the distance, ”Under the chaotic Nine Heavens Immortal Thunder, they had to abandon the immortal bodies they had been refining for ten thousand years, unable to care for anything else.”

”The immortal dao origin perished, unable to resurrect, even if they could deceive us, they couldn’t deceive this world-ending tribulation, as long as their aura remains, the tribulation won’t cease.”

Gu Jiu’s pupils flickered with chaotic starlight, his voice carrying a deep and merciless aura, ”You killed two future Immortal Venerables of the immortal realm, a deserved honor, but that Crane Spirit Tree woman, her extinction was well-deserved.”

Their action this time wasn’t just Gu Wanjun going alone, but another chaotic Great Venerable hidden in the shadows, ready to handle any unexpected events, even able to trace their immortal dao origin aura.

”Heh.” Gu Wanjun sighed, still feeling regret for their fall, ”Let this matter not spread, only you and I need to know, if the immortals of the Three Thousand Great Worlds find out, the chaotic clan will have no chance of survival.”

That human Chen Xun, ultimately a being of the grand world, the cause and effect couldn’t be severed, such a figure falling at his hands, this cause and effect he couldn’t bear...

”You are injured, severely.” Gu Jiu frowned, sparing words like gold, ”You can no longer participate in the battle, do you want to join the destruction plan?”

”...What do they say?”

”Only one lineage, either the Ancient Saint Clan or our chaotic clan, the immortal realm’s territory must be paved with the essence of our clan’s life, our clan is excluded from the Three Thousand Great Worlds, when the Heavenly dao forms, there will be no more opportunities.”

”No other choice?”

”Opportunities are fleeting, you have already killed the opportunity, the knife our clan handed over need not be looked back upon.”

Gu Jiu spoke coldly, without a trace of warmth, ”Such a figure would rather die than submit, the heavenly secrets are not with our clan, at least two terrifying figures of the future immortal realm have been severed, such a painful loss, I will tell them before I die.”

”Gu Jiu, does this mean our chaotic clan has no chance of becoming immortals?!”

”There is, the Ancient Saint Clan.”

”I’m unwilling!”

”In the Three Thousand Great Worlds, during the era of great slaughter among the myriad clans, great clans still perished in the river of time, we are no different.”

Gu Jiu’s cold eyes stared at Gu Wanjun, speaking indifferently, ”Just keep going, even if it’s the end, there won’t be such emotions, I only regret not being able to destroy the Crane Spirit Tree here.”

Gu Wanjun gave Gu Jiu a deep look, the latter’s words had another meaning, could it be that the chaotic clan still had some turnaround, he asked, ”Who planned to capture the human Chen Xun, why let Tuo She tell him the great secret of the cycle of heaven and earth, why go to such lengths to guide him?”

”The plan has failed, today I can tell you.”

”Oh?”

”Near the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom’s heavenly domain, the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance that governs the nine great worlds, the deputy leader, Ye Qingyou, behind today’s grand world Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, you naturally know who it is.”

”...The Ancient Saint Clan!” Gu Wanjun’s eyes became sharp in an instant, ”That ’Shi Rong Immortal’s’ aide, during the Heaven Slaying Battle, the Ancient Saint Clan stood against all opposition to help him quell the pressure from all the major clans of Boundless.”

”Ye Qingyou, wise and ancient, a peerless genius who suppressed the rebellion of the myriad clans in the nine great worlds after the Heaven Slaying Battle, so it was her...”

A trace of dread flashed in Gu Wanjun’s eyes, he hadn’t expected she had already extended her hand to the battlefield beyond the boundary.

What did this human woman want to do, or perhaps the Ancient Saint Clan intended to help their chaotic clan from behind?!

”The specific purpose is unknown, but this person has always been watching the figures on her list, the human Chen Xun was just one of them, but since it has failed, such a major matter will naturally not be told to them again.”

Gu Jiu’s voice was without a ripple, as calm as deathly silence, ”The chips are lost, the cooperation ends, our clan will proceed alone.”

”Hmm.” Gu Wanjun’s pupils were deep, looking at Gu Jiu, he spoke firmly, ”Our clan’s fortune will not perish, we will surely live to the next cycle of heaven and earth, or perhaps the True Immortal Realm.”

”Take care of your injuries.”

Gu Jiu looked at the chaotic sky, his voice finally had a slight fluctuation, ”Eldest brother, I, Gu Jiu, will not let your immortal dao perish, live on.”

Whoosh!

With those words, Gu Jiu soared into the sky, a river of chaos appeared in the sky, he strode forward, stepping in without hesitation.

Only the sound of ”eldest brother” lingered above the ancient star, echoing endlessly...

In the depths of Gu Wanjun’s deep eyes was full of shock, his gaze uncertain where it fell.

Only that call of ”eldest brother” was like an ancient bell striking heavily into his dao heart, he had already forgotten how long it had been since Gu Jiu had called him ”eldest brother,” it was more unfamiliar than a stranger.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Gu Wanjun’s mouth, even though he was severely injured, it no longer mattered, it seemed very much worth it.

The entire chaotic ancient star began to be sealed by a great formation, filled with an ancient aura, slowly retreating into the void, completely disappearing.
