Eternal Tale

He charged into the center of the three armies alone, battling a hundred immortals by himself.

On this battlefield, even the laws of heaven and earth had been ground to dust, and the terrifying aura overshadowed the entire field, even spreading beyond the Milky Way.

”Immortal friend, you are esteemed as a Dao Ancestor, why lower yourself to this?!!” An immortal’s Dao artifact was shattered by a world-shaking axe, and he roared in anger.

”The Five Elements immortal path!! The qi of the Five Elements of heaven and earth cannot be severed!” An immortal howled, feeling his scalp tingle for the first time since becoming immortal, ”The immortal power of world destruction...”

Boom!!!

The intensity of the battle had reached a point where heaven and earth lost their light. The downstream of the Human Clan’s Milky Way, forged over generations, was forcibly cut off, and the roaring river seemed to wail in lament...

Chen Xun’s expression was indifferent. His Five Elements Immortal Body was constantly shaken by the myriad clan immortals, but so what?!

His thunder law enveloped the heavens and earth, endless lightning pouring down the Milky Way. Even so, he still had spare immortal power to watch over his comrades.

This was the first time in over twenty thousand years that he led an army into battle, charging at the forefront. Not even on the Boundary Battlefield had he done so, yet the slaughter continued unabated.

”Burial Word Technique...” Chen Xun murmured softly, and a world-shaking change suddenly arose. The central battlefield shifted, and a vast Heavenly Origin star slowly descended from the void.Life and death immortal power intertwined within the Heavenly Origin star. Though immortals could not be slain, today’s battle would show the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds that immortals could indeed be killed!

Chen Xun’s divine sense surged across millions of miles, wielding his axe to repel dozens of immortals, all retreating tens of thousands of feet. In that instant, the atmosphere turned deadly, and everyone felt an extraordinarily terrifying aura.

All immortals sensed that Chen Xun was unleashing a formidable Immortal Art, and the heavens echoed with cold shouts: ”Fellow immortals, do not give him time to prepare!”

”Kill!”

The Boundless Immortals attacked in unison, boundless and powerful immortal force shaking the universe, all converging on Chen Xun. This region had long become a dead zone, with the laws of heaven and earth obliterated.

Immortal light and power surged at the center, drowning Chen Xun’s voice in endless mist of immortal light, even shattering time and space...

This world-shaking battle swept across the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds like a storm, startling the myriad races of the Boundless Great World, their shocked gazes turning toward the Human Clan’s Milky Way.

Whether it was the insignificant boundary openers, the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan dormant for an era, the revived generals of the era of great slaughter, or the present-day Ancient Immortal Court...

Rumors even spread that the longevity families and ancient beasts had joined the battle at the Milky Way...

One after another, the battle reports shook the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds, even spreading to the battlefield beyond the boundary, where the endless cultivators and chaotic clan were left dumbfounded.

Especially the immortals stationed there, who couldn’t help but show shock, as if they had traversed time, wondering how someone could lead them?!

Such a world-shaking chaotic battle could only be seen in the era of great slaughter among the myriad clans in immortal history... Several great worlds already had Milky Way phenomena reflecting across the heavens.

A year later.

Immortal blood dripped from the void into the great world from the Human Clan’s Milky Way. Upon hearing this news, myriad clans and billions of cultivators rejoiced, setting out to find the path of immortal blood and embark on the journey of immortality.

When immortals fight, it truly benefits the myriad clan cultivators!!!

But as the years passed, ten years later...

The Great World of Taihua witnessed the phenomenon of heavenly weeping, the sky darkening, and a terrifying light descending from the clouds, revealing an immortal corpse!

Whoosh—

The immortal corpse traversed several heavenly domains, with the laws of heaven and earth paving its way. All beings were stunned, and at that moment, heaven and earth fell silent, an immortal had fallen...

In this era, the phenomenon of an immortal’s fall appeared, causing countless beings to feel a chill in their Dao hearts, all watching as the immortal corpse crossed the skies, its destination unknown.

At this moment, the upper echelons of the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds realized that the situation was spiraling out of control, and immortals were heading toward the Milky Way!

This battle could not continue any longer. The ancient immortal mountain, Human Emperor Hall, and other strongest clans’ old monsters had personally set out. This immortal’s fall was like a massive signal, urging an end to the chaos.

This era was no longer the era of great slaughter among the myriad clans, and they did not wish to return to the precarious era of seeking immortality.

...

Outside the myriad clans’ bridge in the Boundless Great World.

Two weathered figures gradually appeared on a cliff, with no road ahead, only a Void Land woven with chaotic laws.

”Junior, Ji Yan.”

”Junior, Tian Li.”

”Requesting an audience with the immortal.”

The two respectfully cupped their hands, their words neither humble nor arrogant.

No response...

Ji Yan’s expression remained calm, and Tian Li’s was equally composed, as they had maintained this posture for five years, speaking the same words daily for five years.

Whoosh~~~

In the Void Land ahead, the chaotic laws surged like ocean waves, suddenly rippling outward, and a majestic immortal force that blotted out the sky descended.

Hiss...

Ji Yan and Tian Li both groaned softly but remained unmoved.

”Seekers of immortality from the Great World of Taiyi, what is your purpose?” An ancient voice spread out, solemn and heavy, conveyed in a manner they could not comprehend.

Ji Yan bowed his head, his eyes devoid of joy: ”We come for the matter of the Immortal Alliance, for the stability of the grand world order, for the elevation of the Boundless True Immortal Realm. As a creature of the boundary, Ji Yan is willing to serve the immortal.”

Upon hearing this, Tian Li gritted his teeth but continued to bow his head, not daring to speak.

Yet Ji Yan’s words received no response, only endless silence...

A month later.

Buzz—

An endless bridge extended forth, its immortal light dazzling, reflecting the myriad beings of the myriad clans, ancient and eternal. Just a glance evoked a sense of time’s vicissitudes spanning millennia.

But Ji Yan’s expression was as dark as water, for the bridge did not extend to the cliff, only halfway, leaving no path ahead.

Deep within, there was no voice, no guidance whatsoever.

”Ji Yan.” Tian Li looked up at the road woven with chaotic laws, speaking coldly, ”The Blood-Clothed Immortal King once taught me that the path of immortals is forged through battle, not walked.”

He stepped forward, a long blade in hand, his ugly face resolute: ”Follow me, I’ll protect you, but don’t show weakness before the immortals. Lord Crossing the World is still fighting in the Milky Way.”

Ji Yan looked at the tall figure, gave him a deep look, and said no more: ”Let’s go.”

Tian Li turned his head with a sinister grin, stepping into the rippling void of laws.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Boom!

Like a great bell of heaven and earth crashing down, the moment Tian Li stepped forward, his eyes turned blood-red, slicing through the surrounding chaotic laws with a roar: ”Ji Yan, go!!”

Ji Yan remained calm, silently nodding as he took a step.

Outside the myriad clans’ bridge, two small figures advanced one after the other, a silent splash of blood, the leading figure pausing only slightly before fearlessly moving forward.

Roar!!

Tian Li roared to the heavens, continuously severing the chaotic laws of the void, bearing all the pressure himself, his wounds growing more numerous, his divine sense and primordial spirit suffering damage.

And this journey... lasted several months.

Beneath the bridge, Tian Li’s robes were tattered, having used the Blood-Clothed Immortal King’s Blood Slaughter Nine Revolutions, ultimately succeeding in opening the path, but he was also exhausted, blood flowing over his body.

”Tian Li.” Ji Yan, unscathed, looked at him with deep eyes, ”...Thank you.”

”Cough...” Tian Li was about to speak but was choked, his face pale, forcing a smile with a bloodied mouth, ”We said back on Trash Island, I’d protect you.”

With that, Tian Li collapsed, caught by Ji Yan, who expressionlessly said, ”Rest here and heal, I’ll be back soon.”

Ji Yan carefully placed Tian Li on the bridge, where the terrifying chaotic laws did not encroach.

A barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes, and he respectfully said, ”Junior Ji Yan, requesting an audience with the immortal.”

”Granted.”
