Eternal Tale

Time flies like a fleeting horse, a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye. In the depths of the forest, peach blossoms smile, and by the clear pond, the water’s murmur makes the night seem long. Yet, only that calmness is forever etched in the heart.

Chen Xun and Black Bull silently watched over the boundless Destruction Ridge, letting the desolate winds blow and time pass peacefully. Eventually, the Destruction Stones would disperse, leaving only the unchanging flow of the Five Elements Law.

Once the force that suppressed a corner of the immortal ancient forbidden lands, Destruction Ridge had become somewhat desolate, half of it disappearing in just a century!

Buzz—

Today, the ancient domain and heavenly region underwent a massive change. The great formation imprisoning Destruction Ridge loosened, and a terrifying Destruction Windstorm swept across the sky.

Dark gray tribulation clouds rolled above, with bolts of lightning striking down, all converging towards a rift halfway up the mountain!

In this rift, Chen Xun’s attribute-less primordial spirit sat cross-legged, its aura continuously strengthening, every move accompanied by a vast and refined Destruction Windstorm.

It had no mouth, no nose, only a pair of Five Elements Immortal Eyes, sharp as knives, seeing through the transformations of life and death, yet its form resembled that of a young boy.

The primordial spirit’s hands formed seals, causing the world’s energy to surge, instantly shattering the ancient mountain rocks beneath its feet!

A continuous flow of five-colored law halos emanated from its body, illuminating the dark valley.”Whoosh—” Its body suddenly trembled, the sound echoing to every corner of the ancient domain, causing the mountains and rivers to tremble.

In the next moment, countless sharp dark rays burst from the primordial spirit, scattering the tribulation clouds in an instant, unable to withstand even a moment, coming and going in a hurry, appearing extremely embarrassed and fearful.

”From this day forth, no one in this world can question the tribulation of this Dao Ancestor!”

Chen Xun’s true body stood with hands behind his back atop the mountain peak, his robes fluttering, his voice carrying an irresistible dominance, slowly echoing in the immortal ancient forbidden lands.

”Moo moo~~!”

On another distant mountain peak, Black Bull raised its head and let out an ancient roar that echoed through the immortal ancient forbidden lands, like rolling thunder.

The immortal essence was newly formed!

Rumble—

The earth-shaking sound of the heavens startled all the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan members still guarding the Slaying Immortal Ancient Domain.

Di Si rose from the divine hall, gazing at the Destruction Ridge where the formation had been broken. His face twitched, and he instinctively shouted, ”Where is our clan’s Destruction Ridge?!”

”Great Elder, it’s indeed that direction.” A Three-Eyed Celestial Venerable looked grim, even harboring a trace of self-doubt.

That place contained the world’s destruction laws, forming a formation base, absorbing such a massive amount of Destruction Stones—how could nothing have happened to them?!

”...How is this possible!” Di Si’s eyes nearly bulged out, his deep voice resonating, ”Half of Destruction Ridge has been devoured!”

”What?!”

Several Three-Eyed Celestial Venerables approached, eyes filled with disbelief, ”Great Elder, Destruction Ridge spans tens of millions of miles, even an immortal couldn’t devour so much!”

”This is one of our clan’s foundations, formed over endless ages, the bane of immortal cultivators...”

A Three-Eyed Celestial Venerable trembled, staring in shock towards Destruction Ridge.

The area was full of deep celestial pits, as if dug three thousand feet deep! Such madness?!

Divine sense is like the eyes of a cultivator, and while Destruction Stones restrain divine sense, they shouldn’t be absorbed by cultivators like this! No matter how strong the divine sense, it has its limits!

Di Si kept swallowing nervously, wondering how many primordial spirits it would take to bear such a vast amount of Destruction Stones...

At this moment, all sounds in the world ceased.

Several Three-Eyed Celestial Venerables exchanged glances... What kind of immortal essence could this be, and why did the aura of tribulation pierce through the world only to vanish so quickly?

Now, many three-eyed creatures looked up in shock at the sky, where they saw a massive vortex slowly forming, with turbulent air currents pressing towards Destruction Ridge, its might grand and imposing.

Di Si’s pupils shook as he gazed into the depths of the vortex—

At this moment, a closed-eyed immortal child descended unhurriedly from the vortex, its side surrounded by Dao essence manifesting from void to reality, like a dragon always accompanying it, intimidating throughout the ages!

Its gaze was indifferent and merciless, penetrating all space, sweeping across in an instant.

In that moment, Di Si and the other strong ones felt a shock in their hearts, their expressions turning extremely unsightly, as if faced with an irresistible force!

On that youthful face was a majestic aura surpassing the Tribulation Crossing stage, suffocating and impossible to look at directly.

In that fleeting glance, they almost bowed under the pressure, but the vortex suddenly dissipated, the world instantly clear, the pressure gone, leaving only two figures standing.

”Great Elder, everyone, I apologize for the offense.”

”Moo moo~”

Chen Xun and Black Bull stood in the distant sky, sincerely cupping their hands, their expressions somewhat awkward, struggling to control their power!

”Chen Xun Daoist, Ximen Daoist, how are you now?!”

Di Si exhaled heavily, unconcerned, but a cold sweat appeared on his back, having been suppressed by that Dao essence-encircled immortal essence... He was a half-immortal realm cultivator!

He forced himself to remain calm, glancing again at the half-devoured Destruction Ridge... Heh heh...

Chen Xun Daoist and Ximen Daoist had gifted so many boxes of Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruit, this little loss... Damn, Di Si’s features twisted slightly, our clan won’t feel the pain!

In the distant sky.

Chen Xun didn’t laugh, his expression unusually serious, ”Fellow Daoists, Bull and I wish to return to the Wild Heaven Region, time waits for no one, so we’ll spare the formalities.”

”Moo moo~~” Black Bull snorted a hot breath, eager to seize the Ancient Immortal Realm!

Di Si’s gaze sharpened, ”Chen Xun Daoist, in such a hurry?”

”The loss to the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan, Chen Xun will surely make up for it, thank you this time!”

”No need, this is the Emperor’s promise! And our clan’s promise!”

”Heh heh, don’t worry.”

Chen Xun chuckled lightly, knowing the consumption this time was excessive, possibly wiping out others’ accumulations of several hundred generations, ”I heard Di Tian hasn’t returned yet.”

At these words, Di Si’s heart tightened, his expression growing much more solemn.

The ancestor Di Tian was likely trapped in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Time Sand, but this was a trial all geniuses had to endure, and their clan had not intervened, believing he could find his own way out.

”Yes,” Di Si said in a deep voice, ”Chen Xun Daoist, don’t worry, the ancestor Di Tian is merely trapped for a hundred years, not yet at the brink of life and death.”

”If the Ten Thousand Tribulations Time Sand contains Destruction Stones, they will surely be gifted to our Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan in the future.”

”Moo moo!”

Black Bull glanced at Chen Xun, nodding affirmatively, in the unclaimed lands, according to the rounding-off method of the cultivation world, they were theirs, as was that Ancient Immortal Realm.

Chen Xun once again bid farewell to all the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan, once immortal, all would be at rest.

Buzz—

Black Bull raised its hoof, tearing the sky, spreading a chaotic void, their gazes solemn as they turned and stepped into it.
