Eternal Tale

”Mo...” Black Bull stomped its hoof, causing the ground to tremble, a fierce glint flashing in its eyes.

Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance...

The river roared with turbulent waves, emitting a deep, rolling sound, as if it was holding back with great restraint, ready to erupt at any moment.

”Bull, let’s take a look first.”

Chen Xun’s expression turned exceptionally cold, even the surface of the river began to emit a chill, ”These tactics resemble the destruction of a small boundary, I really dislike these war artifacts.”

”Moo!” Black Bull nodded heavily, its vast divine sense already spreading out.

It lightly swung its hoof, sending a formation stone shooting into the sky, disappearing into the clouds. In the blink of an eye, a transparent light screen suddenly exploded in the Boundless Heaven Region, spreading in all directions.

...

In the mountains.

A group of black-robed individuals stood with stern expressions behind a massive war artifact, each holding a formation flag emitting white light. The surrounding rocks rolled, and the ground shook continuously.Someone spoke in a deep voice, ”Lin Xuanyou, over the years, the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance has been quite active in the Wild Heaven Region, even gaining the support of ancient clans. Are they targeting those longevity families?”

”We don’t need to concern ourselves with the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance’s affairs. Our Dark Heaven Alliance can’t yet engage with such a colossal force.”

Lin Xuanyou replied calmly, his gaze deep as he looked into the distance, holding a peculiar black orb that was locked onto the Xuanji Sacred Land’s mineral vein.

”But the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance has already sent people to the Dark Nether Sea in the Wild Heaven Region. It seems our Dark Heaven Alliance might have some connection with them.”

The person said cryptically, ”There are quite a few small boundary creatures within the Dark Heaven Alliance. The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance is never lenient with cultivators who violate the rules of the grand world, especially boundary creatures.”

”You’re talking too much. Just do your job.” Lin Xuanyou shot him a sideways glance, ”We are Unity stage cultivators. We should aim for Great Ascension and plan for the future. Don’t overthink.”

The black-robed man’s eyes narrowed slightly, nodding gently, and stopped discussing the matter, continuing to operate the war artifact.

The murderous aura of heaven and earth grew more intense, but their expressions remained unchanged, proceeding with practiced ease.

The Tianhang Jade Stone mineral vein of Xuanji Sacred Land had been destroyed by an ancient beast, almost completely dead, with no signs of activity.

But they arrived faster than the experts of Xuanji Sacred Land, having been lying in wait for a long time.

Even though it seemed risk-free, they still adhered to their usual style, not revealing a single flaw.

No matter if it’s dead or not, first cleanse it with war artifacts, then proceed to investigate.

The Dark Heaven Alliance was quite wealthy, and these war artifacts capable of leveraging the power of the Great Dao in the Wild Heaven Region consumed top-grade spirit stones right from the start.

And that’s just one of the materials, with even more meticulous plans in place, ensuring their people never fall into danger. Only by surviving can one become a strong expert!

This mineral vein indeed harbored treasures, even requiring the lives of cultivators to fill the earth’s energy, but Xuanji Sacred Land also had its pride. To avoid exposing the uniqueness of this place, they didn’t send even a single Great Ascension expert.

The Great Ascension experts of various factions were closely watched. Any movement would be detected by other forces, making it impossible to carry out big plans behind their backs without informing others.

However, with the merger of Tianxuan and Tianji Sacred Lands, some hidden troubles were inevitable, and Xuanji Sacred Land had a mole from the Dark Heaven Alliance.

Although the mole wasn’t of high status, they could still access matters related to the mineral vein, destroy the place, and take the treasure.

They didn’t know why the ancient beast left, but the timing was right, fleeting.

”Take action.” Lin Xuanyou’s gaze turned cold as he suddenly ordered, ”If anything goes wrong, use the Dayan teleportation talisman to escape without hesitation. The war artifacts are already set with self-destruct formations.”

”Understood.” The group nodded, their black robes fluttering, as rainbow lights of mana surged from within them!

Boom—

The sky instantly erupted with fierce winds, dark currents surged, the once-straight peaks swayed precariously, thick smoke billowed out, and the ground continuously collapsed and sank.

Hundreds of terrifying war artifacts, like giant beasts, were poised to strike, a grand and overwhelming killing intent pervading the heavens and earth, exuding a chilling murderous aura, as if from the Nine Nether Hell!

”Fire!” Lin Xuanyou’s expression was no longer stern, a trace of ferocity and excitement in his eyes. He loved witnessing the power of war artifacts in action.

This was far more dazzling than a duel between immortal experts, and even some prodigies of the Wild Heaven Region had fallen to them, a great honor for ordinary cultivators.

Boom—

The commotion grew louder, but... the cannons of the war artifacts remained motionless, as if stuck, the murderous atmosphere suddenly becoming somewhat eerie.

”Take action!” Lin Xuanyou frowned, what was going on?!

”Hmm?”

Everyone was momentarily stunned, continuously casting spells, but the war artifacts showed no sign of movement...

”The world’s energy is dissipating, the power of the Great Dao is being suppressed!” A black-robed man suddenly shouted in alarm, his pupils shrinking sharply.

”Not good!!”

Lin Xuanyou instantly realized, a powerful expert had intervened, he shouted without hesitation, ”Fellow Daoists, run!”

A group of black-robed individuals broke out in a cold sweat, quickly activating the Dayan teleportation talisman, not daring to be curious at all. Such methods were beyond their comprehension, escape was the only option!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

...

The piercing sound of explosions echoed continuously, yet the group of black-robed individuals stood in place, looking at each other, still holding a useless talisman, unable to run...

Lin Xuanyou’s face turned ugly, extremely awkward, the surrounding heaven and earth had been sealed by a grand formation, the energy long extinguished, making any spatial passage impossible to reach here instantly.

This is bad!

The group of black-robed individuals felt a chill in their hearts, their divine senses spreading in all directions, silent as death, no one spoke again.

”Which senior is here?!” Lin Xuanyou cupped his hands and called out, ”We are cultivators of the Dark Heaven Alliance, and there’s even a rumor that our alliance is connected with the Nine Heavens...”

Buzz—

Suddenly, before he could finish, a vast divine sense enveloped the sky, like the will of the heavens, descending upon the black-robed individuals!

All the cultivators present showed expressions of horror, their mana circulation halted, as if suppressed by an immortal mountain, their divine senses were instantly overwhelmed, their consciousness becoming muddled, completely unaware of what was happening.

Lin Xuanyou almost spat blood, his body trembling like a sieve, desperately using divine sense spells to resist the overwhelming divine sense suppression.

His heart was filled with terror, like a thousand horses galloping, never having witnessed such a terrifying divine sense, what level of expert’s pressure was this?!

Boom!

Before everyone could react, a thunderous explosion resounded, endless lightning converged in the sky.

One after another, the power of laws manifested, emitting divine radiance, illuminating the heavens and earth, merging with the lightning, evolving into thousands of thunder dragons.

Each thunder dragon was enormous, a thousand feet in size, vividly lifelike, roaring continuously, their mighty voices shaking the heavens, the earth trembling.

The cultivators of the Dark Heaven Alliance looked at the sky in terror, like ants, ready to be devoured by the thunder dragons at any moment.

Only Lin Xuanyou’s expression was grave, forcibly soaring into the sky, something had to be done now. If it was the experts of Xuanji Sacred Land, they would have already been dead, not just under pressure.
