Eternal Tale

”Who?! Help!! Help!!!”

A Unity-level evil spirit roared, its body covered in dozens of eyes oozing black blood, unable to discern illusion from reality. ”Cultivators, how dare you invade this place?!”

On the distant mountain peak, Chen Xun stood with a calm and indifferent expression, his cold voice echoing throughout the fragmented starry sky. ”The path of cultivating immortality is short and bitter. Let this Dao Ancestor personally see you off, to experience the ultimate mystery of ascension.”

As he finished speaking, Chen Xun’s gaze grew profound, and he spoke slowly, ”Ascension Style, like a great dream from the start, fix its original form, return to the chaotic void!”

Chen Xun’s figure gradually blurred, emanating a powerful rule power. An invisible giant hand manipulated the fragmented starry sky, as if the heavens and earth were under his control, and his words became law!

The incense burner in the sky spun rapidly, streams of purple qi madly piercing into the bodies of these evil spirits, even their immortal origins couldn’t escape.

As his words fell, the black blood of the evil spirits began to boil, their bodies swelling, emitting a thick black aura. Their originally twisted faces became even more ferocious, their eyes filled with pain and despair.

However, a rule power as ancient as the sea emerged, and suddenly the faces of these evil spirits turned serene. Their frenzied eyes became devout, as if they saw a gateway, an immortal sect!

They were about to knock on the immortal sect’s door and ascend to immortality!!

On the ground, a giant ship swiftly traversed the land, with Little Crane standing on the Boundary-breaking Ship. Wherever it passed, thousands of evil spirits had their lifespans reaped instantly.Even as these evil spirits fell, their eyes still held hope... as if they wore peaceful smiles, truly ascending to immortality...

On the mountain peak, Chen Xun began harvesting the fresh blood of these evil spirits, while Black Bull set up an array, lifting the entire starry fragment. Little Chi continued to destroy the corpses, leaving no trace behind.

”What a treasure.” Chen Xun smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming as he overlooked the earth, raising his hand to grasp the void, a boundless rule power gathering in his palm, enhanced by the system’s power!

He lifted his arm, pointing towards the void, a beam of light emanating from his fingertip, like a Milky Way crossing the sky.

The starry fragments gradually emitted an enchanting glow, as if sensing the powerful rule power from Chen Xun.

Chen Xun’s gaze grew deeper, the rule power in his palm continuously merging into the starry fragments, fusing with the chaotic void power within.

The starry fragments began to change shape, emitting an even more dazzling brilliance. With a low hum, the starry fragments in Chen Xun’s hand gradually melted, transforming into a powerful rule power.

This power burst forth with dazzling light, like a blazing star, radiating endless energy and pressure.

”Heaven and Earth’s Five Elements Rule, refine the stars!”

With Chen Xun’s shout, the starry fragments completely melted, transforming into a massive pillar of light that shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds, and cutting across the firmament, emitting an unparalleled brilliance.

”Moo!!” Black Bull roared towards the sky, the Five Elements Array Flag emanating a thick rule power to suppress the heavens and earth, preventing any aura from leaking out, keeping the entire world within its illusion.

Buzz, rumble—

A piercing screech spread like ripples, and the entire starry fragment instantly turned to nothingness. A gathering place that the evil spirits had cultivated for tens of thousands of years became nourishment for Chen Xun’s rule power.

Little Chi was dumbfounded by the sight... as if in a great dream, like witnessing Li Chen Island being crushed by a peerless strongman, the visual impact almost made its eyes pop!

Little Crane stood on the Boundary-breaking Ship, equally stunned, even the Filthy Longevity Turtle, still enjoying itself, let out a strange, terrified screech at the surrounding emptiness and darkness.

”Brother Xun?!!”

”Eldest brother?!”

”A hundred strands of rule power, haha, not bad, this Dao Ancestor gladly accepts.” Chen Xun spoke with satisfaction, his bandit mask revealing only a pair of cold eyes. ”We can’t stay here long, let’s run.”

”Moo moo~~”

”Right!”

”Eldest brother, quickly get on the Boundary-breaking Ship.”

Little Crane also shouted, such a commotion would surely alert the powerful evil spirits from beyond the boundary. The front lines were still at war, and causing such a disturbance on the flank would attract endless trouble from those strong beings.

”Hahaha, let’s go!” Chen Xun laughed heartily, carrying the Five Elements Yin-Yang Axe, descending from the sky. ”Brothers, let’s run.”

As his words fell, three figures simultaneously landed on the Boundary-breaking Ship, all with excited expressions. This haul was massive, they had plundered the enemy’s entire base!

Buzz—

The Boundary-breaking Ship instantly turned into a stream of light and vanished, leaving no trace behind. They were no longer the ignorant natives of a small boundary, easily tracked by strong beings.

The anomaly here was finally discovered five days later.

The starry fragments outside the great array still floated in the air, but inside, it was too quiet, as if everything had died.

No kin emerged from there, and those who entered in the past five days seemed lost inside, unable to send any message... Such an anomaly alarmed the frontline evil spirit warlords.

They rode war artifacts, quickly coming to investigate.

The starry fragments were not as simple as they appeared. These things were crucial to the evil spirits’ grand plan, brought back from the chaotic void by the evil spirit Venerable!

But when they arrived, they were dumbfounded, empty and void, with nothing left, not even a trace of blood.

”Where are our kin?! Where are our starry fragments?!”

The evil spirit warlord roared, glaring in all directions, a terrifying aura erupting instantly, his voice echoing everywhere. ”Who can tell me how such a vast land disappeared, did you eat it?!”

”......”

At these words, the evil spirits exchanged glances, still unable to comprehend.

If the cultivators had shattered it, there would at least be some commotion, right?! Moreover, they had watched the starry fragments disappear before their eyes, with no cultivators in sight...

”This must be the work of those cultivators.”

The evil spirit warlord laughed in anger, quickly calming down. ”Do not spread this, it will cause chaos on the battlefield, we must report back first...”

”Report... report...!”

”How dare you interrupt me?!”

”General!!!”

The evil spirit let out a tragic howl, as if its entire family had been slaughtered. ”Our camp’s starry fragments are gone, the base was stolen right before our eyes!!”

”What?!”

The evil spirit warlord roared, instantly flying to the scout’s face, eyes wide with rage. ”What?! Say that again!”

”General, the starry fragment base was stolen by those cultivator dogs!”

Pfft!

The evil spirit warlord spat out old blood, feeling the world spin. This was a capital offense, no kin could save him...

He burned with anger, feeling ants crawling all over his body, yet his heart was filled with absolute horror. Who could possess such vast power to steal the starry fragments?!

Even if the Tribulation Crossing Venerable acted, it wouldn’t be possible, they wouldn’t have the time.
