Eternal Tale

Next to him stood a tall silver-haired man, his gaze still fierce and intense, but blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Above the sky, a giant black lotus hovered, seemingly forcibly sustaining his life.

His black robe was torn, and there was a terrifying hole through his chest, a result of the massive backlash and ambush when the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth were severed. He finally understood the power of a Dao artifact.

”Ugh...”

Chen Xun’s forehead veins bulged as he forcibly swallowed the blood he was about to spit out. He took a step forward, his gaze arrogantly surveying the vast land.

”Bull...!”

”...Moo!”

Not far away, Black Bull emerged shakily from a pit, holding the remaining three Five Elements Array Flags. With each step, he exhaled a hot breath, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

Both of his horns were completely broken, yet Black Bull continued to walk towards Chen Xun with unyielding determination.

In the silence of the battlefield, only Black Bull’s footsteps could be heard, each step seeming to shake the heavens and earth.His divine sense swept across the surroundings, revealing the ruins of grand Dharma Aspects, etched into the world.

Over two hundred Tribulation Crossing cultivators from the Star Sea had joined forces to besiege him and his elder brother, and they were all defeated!

None of the Star Sea Venerables who later joined the battle were spared, but now they seemed exhausted, with no strength left for another fight, having used up all their trump cards.

Chen Xun took a deep breath, revealing a faint smile, and patted Black Bull on the back.

Black Bull managed a difficult grin, ”Moo...”

Man and bull looked at each other on the desolate land, both letting out a quiet chuckle at their own sorry states.

They simultaneously reached for their storage rings, intending to retrieve the Image Stone, but neither the man’s ring nor the bull’s ring was with them...

Chen Xun and Black Bull were both taken aback, then laughed.

They slowly sat on the ground, their expressions gradually becoming calm, their auras weak, and they said no more.

In the Wild Star Sea.

The alien spirit Zhenbo reverted to his original form, his two arms resembling wolf heads, and his head simple, with fanged lips taking up half his face.

He squinted slightly, having not missed a moment of this earth-shattering battle, where two faced two hundred Tribulation Crossing Venerables, including ancient Great Venerables. It was both admirable and lamentable.

He had once incited the lingering hostility in the hearts of various Venerables, sparing no cost to battle them, and now it was time to reap the rewards.

”Two Fellow Daoists of Destruction, regardless of whether immortals are behind you, your immortal essence is something I must claim.”

Zhenbo smiled slightly, but his eyes still held a wary look, ”Ah, that terrifying Dao resonance was finally dispersed by the Dao artifact. It’s impossible to gather it back now.”

With a wave of his hand, he vanished from the scene.

Deep within the Star Sea, a few ancient beings shook their heads slightly, unwilling to get involved with this person.

Three Great Venerables of the Star Sea had their Dao resonance shattered, ten Great Venerables had their Dao artifacts broken, their Dharma Aspects forever etched into the world, requiring them to cultivate anew.

Even though the World-Destroying Elder and Black Bull of Destruction were on the brink of life and death, their lingering might was enough to intimidate them, comparable to immortals, inspiring only awe, not enmity.

At the center of the Wild Battlefield.

The alien spirit Zhenbo approached respectfully, his eyes filled with reverence, even using human etiquette to bow, ”Alien spirit Zhenbo, greets the two fellow Daoists.”

Chen Xun slowly raised his eyes, calm and profound, without speaking.

Black Bull’s eyes emitted a trace of killing intent and madness, standing in front of Chen Xun, ready to defend him to the death.

”I have a talent that can trace the immortal essence, allowing it to completely hide.”

Zhenbo’s face was full of caution, not daring to be careless, still probing, ”Outside the Wild Heaven Region, those creatures are cunning. The two fellow Daoists might not be able to leave safely.”

He finished speaking and glanced at the horizon, solemnly saying, ”There is obvious chaos there too, with Venerables heading this way. I hold great respect for the two fellow Daoists and can ensure your safety.”

”What should we do?” Chen Xun’s eyes were deep, his silver hair fluttering.

”Just separate a wisp of your divine soul.”

Zhenbo bowed, appealing with emotion and reason, ”The Dao resonance of the two fellow Daoists has temporarily dissipated. Now, the only way to preserve the immortal essence is for me to help you, merely to gain a favor. Your future achievements in the immortal path will not be low!”

”Alright.”

”Truly worthy of being Fellow Daoists of Destruction, decisive in word and deed!”

Zhenbo’s eyes lit up, speaking in a deep voice, ”The immortal essence is a taboo of heaven and earth. As fellow cultivators, I dare not touch it recklessly.”

”Come here,” Chen Xun’s voice carried a cold command.

”Alright.”

Zhenbo’s gaze sharpened, cautiously stepping forward. The World-Destroying Elder’s demeanor clearly showed distrust, leaving him with no choice but to kill them and forcibly extract their divine souls...

Step—

The sound of footsteps was like the chirping of insects as Zhenbo gradually approached, a strange smile appearing on his face.

However, his eyes gradually turned cold, no longer hiding his murderous intent, and Chen Xun and Black Bull were the same, their seriousness evident.

”Fellow Daoists of Destruction,” Zhenbo revealed a mysterious smile, raising one hand, ”I will definitely ensure your safety.”

”Moo!”

”Black Bull Daoist, you should focus on healing, haha,” Zhenbo said with a smile, glancing at the trembling Black Bull standing up, ”I won’t take advantage of others’ misfortune.”

Chen Xun slowly raised both palms, revealing a mysterious smile, ”I once said, I will kill you.”

Zhenbo’s expression suddenly changed, an indescribable sense of crisis surged in his heart, a feeling that made his heart pound with fear, something was wrong!

”Yin and Yang in chaos, mastering life and death, overturning the Five Elements!”

Chen Xun’s voice rose from low to high, like rolling thunder spreading across the heavens, like a giant wave stirring, shaking the very foundation of the world.

Behind him, a massive Yin-Yang wheel appeared, with the sun and moon constantly rotating within!

The convergence of Yin and Yang in the world was inescapable, and around him, the power of the reversed Five Elements surged like a tide, roaring like thunder.

At this moment, the entire sky seemed to be torn apart, the reversed five-colored divine light converging, weaving an incomparably grand pattern, like a vast sea of laws!

The entire battlefield was instantly enveloped by this chaotic force, time seemed to stand still.

Boom!

The earth began to tremble, everything within the area around Chen Xun collapsed and restructured, as if to completely overturn all the order of heaven and earth.

The qi of the Five Elements on this battlefield inexplicably began to flow, an unparalleled pressure emanated from Chen Xun, leaving Zhenbo dumbfounded, and all this happened in the blink of an eye.

Boom! Buzz—

A world-shaking light suddenly burst from Chen Xun’s palms, a brilliant sun, its light scorching like fire, containing the power of destruction.

At the same time, his other hand gathered a pitch-black moon, exuding a mysterious, chilling aura.

Yang and Yin, heaven and earth, Yin and Yang reversed, overturning the Five Elements!

At this moment, his power of laws seemed to transcend the limits of time and space, gathering the essence of heaven and earth, and blasted towards the nearby Zhenbo.

The world seemed to be split in two, Zhenbo engulfed in this dazzling light, all sounds and means of resistance drowned out.

He felt as if his divine soul was being blasted out of his body, his immortal essence being torn from the grand world by this earth-shattering strike.

He felt as if he had turned to ashes, yet could see this ascension process in excruciating slowness... His thoughts were withdrawing, stagnating, everything dissipating into smoke.

……

The world-shaking rainbow light illuminated all directions, outside the wilderness, Yin Tianshou rushed madly, shouting, ”Chen Xun!!!”

”Elder!!!” Meng Sheng’s eyes were bloodshot, letting out a thunderous roar, charging towards them without hesitation.

In the sky above the battlefield, a massive chaotic array disk slowly descended from the sky, emitting a giant beam of light that enveloped everything below.

Chen Xun and Black Bull’s bodies trembled violently, turning their heads in disbelief...

”Yin... Old Yin, young, young man.”

Chen Xun’s voice trembled, his pupils quivering with his words, ”Why are you here... How have you been all these years?”
