Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 412: Chapter 315: Farewell, Master Baitian—Imperial Authority Manifests! (Double-Length)

But there are still few people who can help him.

”Afraid another life will be wasted...”

Song Changming felt a surge of anger, thinking once he achieved Nirvana Rebirth, he would simply hide away and cultivate for decades or centuries, emerging invincible, to eliminate this so-called Great Demon as revenge!

Wang Tianshuang saw the old man ignoring him, treating him as if he were invisible, his face growing even darker.

The Three-Pointed Saber in his hand buzzed, Gang Qi surrounding him extending straight into the sky.

”What’s the matter, little one, are you trying to stop me?” Master Baitian glanced at Wang Tianshuang, snorting coldly.

”Master Baitian you’d better think carefully, today if you take anyone from our army, you will be an enemy of imperial authority! An enemy of the Human Race!” Wang Tianshuang shouted angrily.

”Neither you nor he can represent imperial authority, much less the entire Human Race.” Master Baitian said disdainfully, not taking Song Changming or even Wang Tianshuang seriously.

Just as he was about to grab someone, waves of noise suddenly came from afar, stirring up a huge storm that blew away the dark clouds in the sky.

”He cannot represent imperial authority, but what about me!”

The voice seemed to come from the heavens, carrying a tremendous divine might, vast and majestic, making Master Baitian’s face suddenly change from his previous disdain.

A man dressed in splendid clothing, exuding an aura of the imperial family, suddenly appeared in the sky.

”Dare to trespass on my territory, leave without returning!” The majestic man wasted no words, raising his hand and unleashing a palm strike.

A Great Palm Seal, extending over a hundred meters, immediately struck Master Baitian.

The next moment, the previously arrogant Master Baitian was sent flying out of sight by this giant palm seal, leaving only a thunderous roar!

And it seemed that the majestic man in the sky did not intend to let Master Baitian go just like that, transforming into a stream of light to chase him instantly.

Faintly in the distance, one could hear sounds resembling the collapse of heaven and earth.

”This...” All the soldiers were stunned, the situation had changed instantaneously.

In a blink, it seemed to be over...

”Who, who was that, so terrifying...” A young soldier couldn’t help but ask.

”Fool, that’s our Great King! Do not speak nonsense!” Tang Qicheng suddenly cursed softly.

The soldier, having not been in the army long, was even more startled upon hearing this.

”It was, it was Lord Prince Cui...”

”I didn’t expect this to alarm the Great King!” Xing Tiexin also exclaimed.

Fu Yuan was overjoyed, looking at Song Changming, and said: ”Changming, today the Great King himself came, we’re saved!”

Song Changming was also somewhat stunned, looking in the direction where the majestic man disappeared.

He had been in the army for only over two years and had not seen the legendary Prince Cui Bai.

Today was the first time!

The palm strike delivered upon his entrance was immensely satisfying and displayed the unmatched strength of this Great King.

”So strong!” Song Changming thought to himself.

The Great Demon level Master Baitian was sent flying with a single strike.

If the Thirty Six Kings of Yun Province each had such power to preside over their territory, no wonder they could defend the vast territory of Yun Province from being devoured by the Demon Race.

Today with Prince Cui appearing for him, it should have turned the danger into safety.

”Changming, come with me to see the Grand Marshal.” Yang Zhen turned and said to Song Changming.

Song Changming nodded in agreement.

Approaching him, Wang Tianshuang and several other Little Flag Masters all cast their eyes on him.

They were all familiar with Song Changming, the Deputy General under Xing Tiexin.

Not only had he shined during the previous military martial arts competition, but also the achievements of Song Changming in killing demons were indeed remarkable, matching the performance of those commanders in the army!

It was hard for them to ignore such a figure in the military.

”Speak up.” Wang Tianshuang said directly.

Song Changming immediately recounted the past enmity with the old master, saying he once escaped death from him.

So many years have passed and unexpectedly that Master Baitian suddenly came looking for him again.

”Hm! How outrageous, that white-haired worm is truly contemptible!” Wang Tianshuang, already irritated by the previous events, struck the ground with the handle of his Three-Pointed Saber, causing a quake around them.

”Rest assured, this is Yunzhou Cui Bai Dao Territory, you are an officer in our army, and also under the Great King. Today, he won’t be able to take you away!”

”Thanks to the Grand Marshal, and also to the Great King...” Song Changming bowed his hands in gratitude upon hearing this.

The army remained stationed there, waiting.

About half an incense stick later, a stream of light swiftly approached from afar, stopping in front of the soldiers.

It was Prince Cui Bai who had just sent Master Baitian flying.

”Pay respects to the Great King!”

”Pay respects to the Great King!”

”...”

Everyone immediately bowed and greeted, not daring to show any slack, even Wang Tianshuang was no exception.

”No need for formality, Tianshuang, tell me what happened.” Prince Cui stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, his attire immaculate, without a single crease.

He showed no signs of having just fought a battle, as if he had merely lifted a hand to brush away a trivial insect.

Wang Tianshuang immediately ascended to the sky, summarily reporting the events that just occurred, along with what Song Changming had said.

At some point, Song Changming noticed a faint gaze fall upon him, making him feel quite exposed.

”Hmm, let that boy be cautious when traveling in the future.” Prince Cui listened and nodded, without saying much or intending to pursue the matter further.

”Did you go out today for this matter specifically, Great King?” Wang Tianshuang couldn’t help but ask.

”Hmm, something happened at West Valley Road, I need to go there, you all continue to guard the west and exterminate demons until this demon crisis is completely resolved.” Prince Cui instructed.

”Yes!” Wang Tianshuang complied.

After speaking briefly, Prince Cui didn’t linger any longer and vanished into the sky.

On the other side, Thirty Six Grotto Heavens of Nanzhou, Baitian Temple.

A comet-like light fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the temple’s main hall.

With a loud crash, the once solid hall collapsed into ruins.

A group of Demon Commanders and Alchemists hurriedly arrived, staring at the ruins in shock.

”This...”

”It’s the Celestial Master!”

On the ruins, a white-haired worm resembling a sea cucumber slowly wriggled.

Covered in spiky sections and possessing four bloodshot eyes.

”Outrageous! If I could open two more eyes, I would turn Cui Bai Dao into a grave!” A strange muffled sound emanated from the worm, like a human voice.

From the shattered parts of its body, large amounts of fluid flowed out, its energy severely weakened.

”Celestial Master, your body...” A Demon Commander asked cautiously, not daring to speak much.

”I must retreat for silent cultivation, go find Ming and have him manage Baitian Temple for me during this period.” Master Baitian buzzed.

”Yes.” The Demon Commander quickly complied, he could tell his celestial master was gravely injured, although he didn’t know who caused it, but whoever could wound the celestial master so severely must possess unimaginable power!

”Moreover, bring me a hundred Human Race children every month as my blood food!”

”Yes.”

The worm’s face, with eyes rotating, became increasingly fierce.

”This matter is far from over!”

...

Evening, Mingju City.

Now heavily fortified, Mingju City was no longer troubled by monster disturbances.

After receiving a large number of refugees, the city’s population reached a new peak since its founding.

Military encampment.

Song Changming cultivated under the moon for a long time, until exhaustion overtook him, only then did he rest.

Reflecting on the day’s events, the appearance of Master Baitian left him with a heightened sense of crisis.

If not for his place in the army, having the military and imperial authority as a backdrop, drawing Prince Cui Bai to appear and protect him, today’s crisis he feared would have been difficult to survive.

Of course, part of it was due to the old master’s excessive recklessness, openly damaging the image of the imperial military in Cui Bai Dao Human Race’s territory.

If he had been alone outside today, the outcome would have been different.

”Strength! Greater strength!” Song Changming murmured to himself, gazing at the bright moon in the sky.

He had been especially pleased and satisfied with the explosive progress in Body Refinement over these days.

Yet now, he felt it was far from enough.

Rather than rely on others, he desired his own strength to be strong enough to protect himself anytime, anywhere!

Midnight had passed, the status refreshed.
