Eternal Tale

Chen Xun stared at the mountain and let out a low growl, his storage ring trembling slightly in his hand. He gave Black Bull a hard slap. ”This thing starts at top-grade spirit stones. We’ve been broke for so long, our first pot of gold is finally coming.”

”Moo~”

Black Bull’s eyes sparkled with excitement, its breath unusually hot. The Wild Heaven Region was indeed great; they preferred such an environment for cultivating immortality!

Chen Xun squinted slightly, his expression returning to calm. Just top-grade spirit stones, nothing he hadn’t seen before, but they could be exchanged for many treasures in the Ancient City of True Spirits.

He observed in secret, realizing that this reddish-brown mountain was the source of all the mist.

More importantly, along the way, they confirmed that the energy from this mist could aid their cultivation, further stimulating the sublimation of the Five Elements Law...

Moreover, the Tianhang Jade Stone was one of the materials Chen Xun planned to use to craft an immortal puppet.

Now, obtaining top-quality ore could enhance the quality and power of the immortal puppet.

”Bull, take it down hard.”

”Mount Wanshou is an ownerless land, and the depths of this mine are a source of calamity. Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life; how can we leave it here?””Don’t leave a speck of dust behind, take it all back, and we’ll refine it slowly. We have nothing now but plenty of storage rings, so move!”

”Moo moo moo!”

In the eyes of Chen Xun and Black Bull, every inch of land and stone here was a future pass, top-grade spirit stones, the absolute hard currency of the grand world.

Even if they didn’t need them for cultivation, what they planned to do in the future would depend on these things. They were the true foundation of cultivating immortality.

Most importantly, these ores were essentially free. If Little Chi saw this, who knows how happy he would be. Chen Xun’s thoughts suddenly flashed, and his brow furrowed slightly.

But this expression was quickly hidden by Chen Xun, even Black Bull didn’t notice.

”Moo moo~!”

Hearing Chen Xun’s command, Black Bull immediately sprang into action.

After so many years of experience, it had become adept at treasure hunting. However, with Little Chi not around, it suddenly felt a bit unaccustomed.

Without that noisy little lion, it was much quieter now...

It quickly stopped thinking about it, raised its hoof, and a vast power of the Five Elements Law surged out, soaring into the sky, enveloping the entire region in an instant.

Formation Dao patterns spread densely, divine light dazzling, and a massive amount of rule power condensed into a formation, descending from the void, merging with every inch of soil and stone.

A vortex formed in the void.

Everything in the space lifted from the ground, swallowed by the vortex.

Just as Black Bull was feeling relaxed, thinking everything was going according to plan, the towering mountain in the center of the secret realm remained unmoved.

The mountain suddenly erupted with a brilliant crimson light, evolving into a rule power that seemed like the power of the Five Elements but wasn’t, shooting into the sky, piercing the heavens.

This mass of crimson rule power was like a sun, dazzling to the extreme.

With a loud ”boom.”

Before Chen Xun could react, it shattered the vortex Black Bull had created.

The secret realm trembled, the heavens and earth seemed on the verge of collapse, with violent energy everywhere.

”What the heck is this?!”

One man and one bull were completely stunned, utterly bewildered.

Chen Xun knew Black Bull’s strength. With its power, the technique it just used could have slain a Great Ascension Venerable on the spot!

Let alone being shattered in an instant!

The mist here was composed of the power of the Five Elements, but now it seemed they had misjudged something.

Besides the power of the Five Elements, there must be something else contained here that could suppress Black Bull’s Five Elements formation.

”Moo moo~~!”

Seeing the formation destroyed, Black Bull was momentarily stunned, its stubborn streak rising again, almost ready to charge with a Black Bull Rush, followed by a Black Bull Topple, and finally a Black Bull Coffin Lift.

Boom—

A large black coffin was hoisted by Black Bull, slamming heavily onto the ground, thick death energy spreading out, an eerie aura emanating.

It waved its hoof slightly, and the black coffin transformed into a black light, surging toward the mountain, death energy spilling out like a black sea of surging death energy laws.

The black sea of death energy filled the entire void, its rippling range compared to the towering mountain was not smaller, as it moved, the entire secret realm buzzed like a roaring sea.

Chen Xun squinted, watching quietly, lost in thought.

With a loud ”boom.”

The large black coffin suddenly fell from the sky, the heavens and earth trembled, the void shook, if not for Black Bull’s control, the secret realm might have collapsed directly.

Just as the black sea of death energy fiercely impacted the towering mountain, an unexpected event occurred again!

The mountain shone brilliantly, like a divine mountain, exuding an even more majestic rule power, enveloping the entire mountain.

Under Black Bull’s powerful attack, the two forces of heaven and earth clashed intensely, emitting dazzling light, dividing the world into two colors.

As the light faded, the mountain remained unmoved, not a single stone shattered, while the black sea formed by the death energy laws suddenly collapsed.

Everything seemed evenly matched, but Chen Xun knew their incarnation was still lacking something, not as strong as the Five Elements primordial spirit to truly carry their power.

This made Black Bull’s hooves paw the ground, seemingly ready to ram the mountain with its true form.

It bore the laws of heaven and earth’s strength, determined to shatter this mountain no matter what!

”Bull, it seems you’re still three points short of this Dao Ancestor.”

Watching Black Bull’s setback, Chen Xun’s lips curled slightly, reaching into the void, a large axe appearing in his hand as if cutting through time.

His eyes flowed with the divine light of the Five Elements, ready to strike, but unexpectedly, Black Bull mooed and charged directly at the towering mountain!

The Black Bull before him, though an incarnation, had extraordinary strength.

This charge, seemingly ordinary, actually fused all the rule power within its body, concentrating it on its horns.

But as the horns struck the mountain, that refined crimson rule power surged again, forming a barrier, blocking Black Bull outside.

But this time, the mountain trembled slightly, its light flickering, showing some reaction.

”Moo~”

Seeing this, Black Bull was shocked, roaring to the sky, like a relentless pile driver, mustering all its strength, continuing its frenzied assault.

Boom boom boom—

Boom boom boom!

……

In just a moment, Black Bull seemed to have charged only once, but in reality, it was enough for tens of thousands of times.

Each charge was empowered by the remaining rule power of its incarnation, the secret realm’s heaven and earth resounded with unusual noise, filled with rumbling sounds.

Under Black Bull’s relentless assault, the mountain trembled more and more violently.

That peculiar rule power also dimmed.

Black Bull charged for a whole day and night, with a cracking sound, like glass shattering, the mountain’s rule power completely collapsed.

”Alright, Bull, stop now!”

Just as Black Bull was about to completely crush the mountain, witnessing the scene of destruction, Chen Xun’s mouth twitched, calling out to stop it, seemingly having discerned something.

In an instant, Black Bull’s body came to an abrupt halt.

”Moo?”
