Eternal Tale

Sikong was extremely tense, with several alien Venerables by his side, yet the two of them chatted away without any concern. Of course, outsiders couldn’t hear what they were discussing.

In the depths of the abyss.

Jade Bone Heavenly Sovereign’s pupils were filled with bloodshot veins, his eyes still carrying a sense of fear and shock. Just a moment ago... the intrusion into his bone Dao laws directly targeted the immortal essence!

All Dao techniques seemed to lose their effect in front of that person, as if facing a true supreme of the bone Dao, suppressed to an extremely miserable state.

”What kind of monster is this...” Jade Bone Heavenly Sovereign murmured hoarsely, his entire skeleton creaking, his own laws suppressed by that immense pressure, unable to move, ”And it was just a single strike...!”

He had cultivated in the Immortal Cang Plains for over twenty thousand years, encountering countless prodigies and powerful figures from various races. Even when facing this Immortal Absolute with a formidable background, his Dao heart felt no fear.

But after seeing that monster today, a trace of fear crept into his Dao heart. He was absolutely no match for this person, who was likely not a Venerable of the Wild Heaven Region, but an unknown outsider!

Over the years, many foreign powerhouses and great forces had settled in the Wild Heaven Region, and even with his vast knowledge, there were too many strong figures he didn’t recognize.

His features twisted slightly; this person was definitely not a Great Venerable, not yet at that level, so he still had a chance to escape.

Jade Bone Heavenly Sovereign moved two fingers slightly, and a spirit body quietly slipped out from within him. This was the embodiment of his cultivated laws, able to merge into the world, going with the flow, a life-saving technique he hadn’t used in thousands of years.It was once the Great Venerable of the Phoenix clan that forced him to use this technique, a humiliation he had always remembered, the Great Venerable of the Blazing Phoenix!

But—

Just as he was about to escape, a sudden change occurred!

Above.

Even with Yuanming’s return, Immortal Absolute’s divine sense never left Jade Bone. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

The Five Elements Dao technique was driven like a divine dragon, swiftly sealing Jade Bone Heavenly Sovereign’s escape route. The five-colored halo condensed, weaving into an indestructible barrier, sealing the heavens and locking the earth!

In an instant, Jade Bone’s spirit body was trapped in place. The Five Elements Dao technique could directly target the spirit veins of living beings, an absolute nemesis of countless immortal paths, considered a taboo of heaven and earth...

Jade Bone’s heart trembled, feeling unprecedented pressure. It was as expected, but he was prepared. This person bore the Five Elements Sacred Body, known to all.

His main body continued to move two fingers, the spirit body transforming into a stream of void light, attempting to break through the Five Elements barrier set by Immortal Absolute.

But the Five Elements Dao technique entangled his law embodiment like iron chains, blocking the way. Jade Bone couldn’t help but feel an unprecedented oppression, as if the entire world was rejecting his escape.

Boom!

His main body forcibly broke through Yuanming’s suppression, blood and energy surging wildly, blood spurting from his seven orifices, the abyss quaking, sinking continuously, the blood of a Venerable creating all things!

Jade Bone’s immense law power surged continuously, the law embodiment emitting a faint ghostly light, struggling to break free!

Yet the power of the Five Elements was like a solid wall, unmoving, while Immortal Absolute merely looked down coldly, Yuanming watching with a spectator’s demeanor, not intervening further.

Jade Bone felt his law embodiment becoming extremely heavy at this moment, as if burdened by the entire world’s obstruction.

”Curse it all!” Jade Bone growled lowly, an indescribable sense of defeat rising within him. To break through this Five Elements barrier would require a tremendous price.

In the moment of struggle, Jade Bone felt the mana within him surging, blood gradually seeping from his arms and legs, his life essence blood dissipating!

Every inch forward came with heart-wrenching pain, his spirit body embodiment seemingly tormented, yet he still refused to give up, ready for a desperate fight.

At this moment, the power of the Five Elements seemed to have gained life, continuously counterattacking, the qi of the Five Elements of heaven and earth rolling in, dazzling, attempting to erode his spirit body embodiment completely.

Veins bulged on Jade Bone’s forehead, cold sweat trickling down his face, freezing into ice in the abyss. In the blink of an eye, a glacier hundreds of miles long gradually appeared in the abyss...

Roar!!!

A thunderous roar erupted from the abyss, the law power he had cultivated and comprehended burning furiously, emitting a scorching light, changing the color of heaven and earth, even heralding a premonition of heavenly tears!

At this time, a meaningful smile appeared on Yuanming’s lips, silently watching him bravely escape.

Rumble...

The spirit body surged like a tide, the law power incredibly strong, even making Immortal Absolute’s expression change slightly. Indeed, the means of the older generation were endless.

The spirit body crashed towards the barrier sealing the heavens and earth, forcibly blasting open a huge hole, disappearing into the void in an instant, without a pause or stop.

Watching Jade Bone Heavenly Sovereign escape, Immortal Absolute frowned secretly. His methods were still far inferior to those of the Chen family, and the Five Elements Dao technique he comprehended was worlds apart from the Dao Ancestor and Ancestor Bull...

Like a castrated version?!

Immortal Absolute let out a low growl, falling into contemplation. This battle seemed to have provided some insight, forcing this Venerable into such a state was not bad. The next meeting would surely be a deadly strike against this old thief!

His eyes suddenly widened, as if thinking of something, and he growled, ”Yuanming, why are you just watching? Gang up on him!”

”Haha...” Yuanming’s laughter was somewhat eerie, a bit piercing, ”I didn’t expect you to learn Lord Crossing the World’s Dao heart. I remember you always fought alone, so I didn’t dare intervene.”

Back in the Immortal Prison, they had been ganged up on by Lord Crossing the World and Senior Black Bull, a memorable experience. Immortal Absolute hadn’t even reached those two before being beaten to exhaustion.

”Heh.” Immortal Absolute chuckled foolishly, ”It’s a pity to let this old thief escape.”

”It’s not a pity.”

Yuanming said calmly, his gaze on the abyss below, ”I need his jade bones and body. A Venerable’s body is hard to come by, even in the Star Pivot, priceless.”

”Besides, he has someone backing him. If he falls now, it would be troublesome.”

”Now that his strength is weakened, his status will naturally decline. And while he recuperates, you can cultivate well. When the time comes to kill him, it will be not only safe but also free of extra trouble.”

”In the Wild Heaven Region, strength is paramount. They won’t be nostalgic like Lord Crossing the World, so rest easy.”

Yuanming explained patiently to Immortal Absolute, knowing that his old brother’s temperament might not consider too much, so it was best to clarify.

”Leave the storage ring to me. After being outside for so long, if I don’t bring back some things to visit the Dao Ancestor, I might not even be able to enter the mountain gate.”

Immortal Absolute spoke seriously, without any jest, adding, ”Even adding me to the gatekeepers isn’t impossible, still owe a debt.”

He didn’t pay much attention to Yuanming’s other words. Anyway, revenge for revenge, settling karma, what’s the point of overthinking in cultivating immortality? Better to think about how to improve cultivation.
