Eternal Tale

Beyond the boundary battlefield, in front of the portal.

”Hah.” Chen Xun’s lips curled into a cold smile as he slowly donned the bandit mask. Turning his head, he said, ”Bull, these evil spirits are nothing compared to Filthy Longevity.”

”Moo!” Black Bull’s eyes were incredibly sharp as he began to equip his bandit suit. These evil spirits from beyond the boundary were actually cultivating the devouring laws of darkness from the chaotic void.

No wonder they could use cultivators for cultivation, and even after death, their bodies would produce life essences like Evil Marrow Crystals. Truly, the environment shapes the cultivators it breeds.

Little Crane’s eyes flickered as a vast aura enveloped the area, causing the void to tremble instantly.

A terrifying phantom slowly descended and took root, yet its presence did not leak out at all. The charging cultivators of various races around them didn’t notice anything amiss.

However, her tightly pressed lips betrayed her inner turmoil. Little Crane was incredibly tense at this moment.

She had never experienced such a terrifying frontline battlefield, where the constant surge of bloodthirsty energy relentlessly assaulted her mind.

Unintentionally, Little Crane glanced at her eldest and second brothers. They were calm, seemingly just searching for opponents, completely unaffected by the battlefield beyond the boundary.

Little Chi let out a low growl, having already put away his tattered blanket. His entire body had become only slightly smaller than Black Bull.A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he used his divine sense to search for Nascent Soul evil spirits. In the battlefield, there’s no room for games; pick the soft targets to crush!

”Stinky Turtle.” Chen Xun looked at the Filthy Longevity Turtle on Little Crane’s shoulder and said calmly, ”The stones we brought from the Boundary Battlefield have all been consumed by you for cultivation. From today, it’s time for you to show your worth.”

The Filthy Longevity Turtle gave Chen Xun a lazy look, slowly revealing a slight smile. Its turtle mouth stretched wider and wider, showing its excitement.

”Are you going to respond?!” Chen Xun frowned, ”What are you smiling at?”

”Eldest brother, don’t scold it. It just woke up from the Tree Realm, its mind might still be a bit muddled.” Little Crane exclaimed, quickly pulling Chen Xun back, as he was about to raise his axe.

The Filthy Longevity Turtle remained dazed, unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

It continued to smile slowly at Chen Xun, showing a crescent moon-like grin, as if thanking Chen Xun for letting it act.

”Moo moo!” Black Bull hurriedly used his hoof to pull back the nearly defensive-breaking Chen Xun. This Filthy Longevity Turtle clearly didn’t understand yet!

”Forget it.” Chen Xun waved his hand, casually putting away his axe, and snorted coldly, ”I’m in a good mood today, I won’t stoop to the level of this stinky turtle.”

The Filthy Longevity Turtle still had a look of indifference, smiling faintly and slowly at Chen Xun.

”......”

Chen Xun took a deep breath, and for some reason, suddenly burst into laughter, nodding a few times before turning away, no longer looking at the Filthy Longevity Turtle.

”Brother Xun, Brother Bull, Sister Crane, what do we do now?!”

Little Chi looked warily at the sky, afraid something might suddenly fall, paying no attention to the Filthy Longevity Turtle. ”This battlefield beyond the boundary is too vast, each fighting their own battles, mana artillery everywhere. We must be careful.”

”Bull, third sister, Little Chi, follow me.” A hint of excitement flashed in Chen Xun’s eyes as he summoned a Sitting Forget Talisman in his hand. ”Let me show you what it means to be a master of the immortal path.”

”Moo~~!” Black Bull’s eyes lit up, giving Chen Xun a pat on the shoulder with a look of approval.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

...

Four figures vanished instantly, speeding towards a certain area of the battlefield beyond the boundary, completely blending into the vast battlefield, leaving no trace.

...

A month later, in a fragment of a star on the barren and desolate land of the battlefield beyond the boundary, the remnants of mountains lay scattered.

Within the mountains, over a hundred evil spirits gathered, including those with Void Refinement phase cultivation. They held magical artifacts that imprisoned the Nascent Souls of cultivators, wearing mocking and terrifying smiles.

”The fodder is increasing. This time, these grand world cultivators dared to send so many cultivators into the battlefield beyond the boundary. How foolish...”

”Heh, cultivators are nothing but blood food.”

”I wonder which one to savor first... Ah, they all look so delicious.”

...

Terrifying whispers echoed, and the imprisoned Nascent Souls of the cultivators let out anguished screams. No one could bear to watch themselves being devoured alive, the torment driving them to despair.

The imprisoning magical artifact gradually floated in the air, containing over a hundred Nascent Souls!

Their eyes were filled with absolute terror, while the Void Refinement evil spirit, with dozens of eyes, stared at them bloodthirstily, gradually revealing a cruel smile.

Behind the mountain.

Four figures hid within a formation. Little Chi let out a low growl, excitement flashing in his eyes, ”Brother Xun, the goods have arrived!”

”This place is one of their gathering spots. These evil spirits from beyond the boundary love to stay on star fragments.”

Chen Xun spoke unhurriedly, confident and proud, with two fingers pressed against his chest, ”After half a month of laying talismans, it’s finally time to close the net. Talismans rise, goods arrive!”

Boom—

As Chen Xun’s words fell, the air within the mountain instantly solidified, as if time had stopped. A mysterious power surged from the talisman, permeating the entire valley.

The sky above the mountain seemed to be affected by the Sitting Forget Talisman, gathering scarlet streams.

A strong aura of filthy blood spread out like a torrential flood, sweeping through the entire valley, stirring the once silent air into a frenzy!

”Enemy attack, grand world cultivators!”

”Who?! Who?!”

”Hahaha... Turns out I’m a grand world cultivator, I want to kill evil spirits!!”

”Huh... Who am I? Who are you?!”

...

The panicked cries of over a hundred evil spirits turned into bewilderment in an instant. They even began to dance around foolishly, grinning stupidly, and even the blood spurting from their mouths couldn’t stop them.

The imprisoned Nascent Souls of the cultivators were shocked. What was happening?! What kind of spell was this?!

Their minds plunged into confusion, with no powerful aura attacking them, not even a trace of a cultivator’s presence. Why did these evil spirits suddenly go mad, even the Void Refinement evil spirit was affected!

The imprisoned Nascent Souls felt a chill run up their spines, fear spreading in their hearts, utterly despairing. Such methods were even more sinister than the evil spirits!

Suddenly, they too seemed to be enveloped by the Sitting Forget Talisman, their eyes gradually becoming dazed.

In their last moment of clarity, they seemed to see the figure of a peerless woman, weaving through the evil spirits, her sword gleaming like ghostly fire.

Her eyes were cold and merciless, without a trace of compassion, reaping the lives of the evil spirits from beyond the boundary. This was the last scene they saw in their blurred vision.

This woman was Nangong Heling, and the Filthy Longevity Turtle on her shoulder had blood-red eyes. Its filthy blood magical artifact was its eyes, and wherever its gaze fell, life was reaped.

One by one, the evil spirits fell powerless, their pupils contracting violently, as if witnessing the greatest terror of this world in their final moments—life being cut right before their eyes!

Above their heads, a phantom of a black jade flower gradually formed, as the blood of the fallen evil spirits was rapidly drawn away, forming a stream rushing into the sky.

Nangong Heling smiled faintly, her sword light flashing like a meteor streaking across the night sky, piercing through the bodies of the evil spirits in an instant!

Fist-sized Evil Marrow Crystals were forcibly extracted from their bodies, utilizing the evil spirits to the fullest extent. Blood, life, and essence were not wasted, leaving no room for any waste.

”Moo~~”

A cow’s call echoed, and the entire mountain environment changed completely, identical to before.

Yet these evil spirits never knew... they had already entered a real environment, dying in an illusion identical to the outside world!

Little Chi stood atop the mountain, grinning slyly, as he began to use Brother Bull’s incense burner to destroy the bodies, turning them into incense ash to cut off any means of tracking or investigation. This burner, he heard from Brother Bull, had been blessed by the heavens.

But all this happened within a dozen breaths, each task clearly defined, without the slightest delay, not even attracting a hint of outside attention, as there was another group of evil spirits gathered on the neighboring mountain.

What these evil spirits didn’t know was that the entire star fragment had been laid with... Sitting Forget Talismans by Chen Xun!

Behind the mountain.

Black Bull rested on Chen Xun’s shoulder, his eyes fixed on their Merit Ledger, adding another entry.

”Eldest brother~”

”Brother Xun, it’s done!”

”Moo moo!”

”Third sister, fourth brother, stinky turtle, well done. This is the battlefield beyond the boundary, we cannot afford any carelessness.”

Chen Xun solemnly put away the Merit Ledger, his deep and cold gaze slowly turning towards another mountain, ”This star fragment, this Dao Ancestor claims it, cleanse this place of evil spirits.”
