Eternal Tale

Black Bull nodded upon hearing this, and a Five Elements Array Flag was already buried. The entire star fragment was their harvesting ground.

Little Crane’s eyes shone brightly, devoid of any distinction between good and evil in her heart.

Whoever her eldest brother wanted her to kill, she would do so without hesitation, even if it meant turning against the Immortal Kingdom’s coalition forces.

The Filthy Longevity Turtle’s eyes flickered with a sinister light, its entire body beginning to shine with a dark luster. As long as it had a breath left, the lifespan of those evil spirits could be used for its cultivation!

”Stinky Turtle, can you withstand the backlash from the Immortal Dao’s essence?”

Chen Xun spoke thoughtfully, still unable to fully comprehend, ”Back then, I thought that the Filthy Longevity’s act of killing living beings might also reduce its lifespan, but just less than when living beings kill the Filthy Longevity.”

The Filthy Longevity Turtle looked confused, not understanding what Chen Xun meant.

Its innate Life Severance ability wasn’t about severing the Immortal Dao’s essence of living beings, nor did it reduce its own lifespan. Moreover, killing these evil spirits from beyond the boundary hadn’t caused any backlash...

It glanced at Little Crane and let out a few strange cries, explaining to her.

Little Crane instantly understood its meaning and began explaining to Chen Xun.The latter listened, his brow furrowing deeply. Now he could see that the deepest layer was that this Filthy Longevity had no Immortal Dao essence.

This thing couldn’t even be called a living being; it was entirely a monster. Even the evil spirits from beyond the boundary were much more normal than this Filthy Longevity, as the latter had its own cultivating civilization and even various races.

But this Filthy Longevity, aside from severing the lifespan of living beings, had no other thoughts, its heart filled with immense hatred for everything created by the essence of heaven and earth, such as mountains and rivers, living beings, and so on.

However, the Filthy Longevity Turtle claimed that severing the lifespan of these evil spirits didn’t cause any backlash to its own lifespan, which made Chen Xun ponder deeply.

Could it be that these evil spirits from beyond the boundary weren’t born from the essence of the grand world or the boundary’s essence...?!

Filthy Longevity was an evil spirit born from the negative essence, one yin and one yang, always producing mutual restraint.

But these evil spirits from beyond the boundary clearly didn’t fall within this range. Chen Xun looked at the stinky Filthy Longevity Turtle with a slight daze, realizing that this thing was practically invincible on the battlefield beyond the boundary!

Of course, the premise was the presence of their group of elder brothers and sisters, allowing this low-level Filthy Longevity Turtle to survive in the grand world and sever the lifespan of evil spirits without any loss.

Otherwise, if a blast of Evil God Light from the sky struck, it would instantly turn to dust... possibly without even seeing what the evil spirits looked like.

”Interesting,” Chen Xun said in a deep voice, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. ”Stinky Turtle, if you ever rise to prominence, remember the kindness of this Dao Ancestor...”

”Moo moo!” Black Bull suddenly nudged the Filthy Longevity Turtle, which responded with a silly smile, looking not too bright.

Black Bull was taken aback, and at that moment, Chen Xun pulled him aside to whisper, ”Bull, do you remember when the Filthy Longevity wasn’t too bright, and I said I was their father, and these Filthy Longevity actually responded seriously?”

”Moo moo!”

Black Bull nodded repeatedly, understanding, and secretly glanced back at the Filthy Longevity Turtle, then chatted with Chen Xun about it, speaking with vivid detail.

The Filthy Longevity Turtle was quite lazy, digesting the lifespan of these evil spirits, not quite understanding the look Black Bull gave it earlier. Its mind was only focused on severing the lifespan of those evil spirits.

Little Crane covered her mouth, stifling a laugh. Eldest brother and second brother definitely thought of the little turtle as a dim-witted fool.

Little Chi was lurking not far from them, digging a hole like a dog, eyes darting around, extremely vigilant, keeping watch.

It didn’t dare touch the cultivators’ storage rings, all sealed with the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal, unable to be moved, unable to spit out spirit stones.

It felt quite unlucky, but it did manage to collect the storage rings of those evil spirits. The storage rings of the latter were different from those of the grand world’s cultivators, filled with Evil Marrow Crystals, spirit vein minerals born from the chaotic void.

Although it couldn’t use these Evil Marrow Crystals for cultivation, they contained pure Chaotic Path power, the opposite of top-grade spirit stones. Brother Xun and Brother Bull said they had a way to extract it!

”Heh heh, the battlefield beyond the boundary is truly a good place.”

Little Chi chuckled slyly, having acquired quite a few good things for free, weighing an Evil Marrow Crystal in its hand, mocking, ”These evil spirits from beyond the boundary seem to have no All-Heaven Myriad Realms Spirit Bank, such a backward cultivating civilization. No wonder sending out the ancient immortal kingdom was enough to suppress you beyond the boundary.”

It shook its head in some lament, wondering how many transcendent forces in the Great World of Taiyi hadn’t even mobilized, yet these evil spirits dared to covet the territories of the Three Thousand Great Worlds. It really didn’t know what they were thinking.

These evil spirits couldn’t even compare to the Filthy Longevity, which had once required the combined strength of the entire boundary’s cultivating world to guard against.

If the transcendent forces from all sides of the Three Thousand Great Worlds collectively mobilized, it might not even take a month to make these evil spirits cry for their parents.

Not to mention the Boundless Great World, where the strongest myriad clans were said to gather. They probably didn’t even consider these evil spirits from beyond the boundary a threat... just respecting the decision of the Immortal Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Little Chi turned to look behind, growling in a low voice, ”Brother Xun, when are we heading to the next place?”

Behind the mountain.

Chen Xun looked over at the sound and calmly replied, ”No rush, my divine sense is still spread over this star fragment. It’s tainted with chaotic aura, and I need to refine it with the power of the Five Elements.”

Hiss...

Little Chi gasped, heart trembling. This was the might of a Great Ascension Venerable, wasn’t it? Such a vast star fragment like the land of Li Chen Island, and Brother Xun said he wanted to refine it!

It instantly fell silent, shivering all over, unable to compare.

Black Bull nudged Chen Xun, giving him a knowing look, everything was ready, and the entire star fragment was under its control, every move of these evil spirits was within its grasp.

”Heh, Bull, so quick.”

Chen Xun held an Evil Marrow Crystal between two fingers, his eyes reflecting a hint of sinister light from the crystal, speaking softly, ”This thing is like the embodiment of the chaotic void, no wonder it can evolve into a star pivot... and even create strange things like the Immortal Puppet.”

”Moo moo~~” Black Bull’s eyes also showed interest. If the Evil Marrow Crystal’s quality was from a Void Refinement phase evil spirit, wouldn’t it be possible to use it in formations to evolve like a star pivot!

”Let’s go.”

Chen Xun waved his robe and vanished from the spot, with Black Bull and the others following closely behind. The most eager was the Filthy Longevity Turtle, its lazy demeanor turning to excitement.

This was the first time in so many years it had tasted the flavor of lifespan, making it indulge in it, unable to extricate itself.

And where they went, no one knew, and the evil spirits here couldn’t even realize that the base here had long been infiltrated by the grand world’s cultivators!

...

Another month passed.

The star fragment was filled with a peaceful aura, with over a hundred thousand evil spirits from beyond the boundary coming and going on the star fragment, without the slightest abnormality, just like usual.

Buzz—

Suddenly, the entire star fragment was enveloped in vast starlight, the starlight weaving together, a powerful force of heaven and earth’s rules surged within the starlight, forming a grand formation.

The formation covered the star fragment like a celestial curtain, completely enclosing it. The edges of the formation shimmered with starlight, like a giant light pattern encircling the fragment, resembling the trajectory of a meteor in the starry sky.

At this moment, on the ground, talismans were instantly activated, flowing like rivers, blood-red spreading across the land, rushing into the bodies of the evil spirits from all directions.

Above the sky, one hundred and eight incense burners emitted purple qi like true dragons patrolling the heavens, standing atop the star fragment.

Such a massive commotion alarmed the evil spirits on the star fragment, especially those at the Unity stage, who instantly reacted, roaring, ”Cultivator attack!!”

”What are you shouting for?! You scoundrel, I must kill you!!”

”Hahaha... With heaven and earth as the furnace, with myself as the evil material, I shall refine an evil Dao pill with my body!!!”

”That’s right, I am an evil immortal! Why don’t you all kneel down and welcome me?!”

...

In an instant, the evil spirits from all sides went mad, wailing and howling, laughter and cries intertwining, several Unity stage evil spirits spewing large mouthfuls of foul blood, looking at the sky in disbelief.

On a mountain peak, three dark figures stood, their faces unclear, seemingly with a strange smile hanging at the corners of their mouths.
