Eternal Immortal Clan: It All Started When I Married My Junior Sister!

199: Swallowing up millennia, ascending to heaven in a single step!That gaze was no longer cold as before, but filled with extreme greed and ecstasy.

Like a traveler who had been thirsty for countless years.

Suddenly seeing a clear spring.

”Good! Good! Good!”

The voice repeated the word ’good’ three times, its tone filled with unconcealable excitement: ”Taiyin Demonic Physique! It’s actually an ancestral Taiyin Demonic Physique! Heaven has not forsaken my Netherworld, heaven has not forsaken me!”

Ye Youluo knelt on the ground, initially feeling a surge of joy upon hearing her ancestor’s praise.

Just as she was about to ask about the Legacy, she suddenly felt a chill run through her entire body.

The sensation of being stared at like prey made the hairs on her body stand on end.

”Ancestor... you...”

Ye Youluo looked up and met those eyes burning with the flames of greed.

”Little girl, since you are also named Ye Youluo, it must be fate.”

The voice became somewhat hurried: ”A wisp of this Emperor’s remnant Soul has lingered in this dark, godforsaken place for ten thousand years. My Physical Body has long since decayed, leaving only this Divine Thought undying.”

”I was almost in despair and planned to just possess any trash from outside, but I didn’t expect you to deliver such a perfect vessel to me.”

”The Taiyin Demonic Physique is just right to carry this Emperor’s Netherworld Ghost Dao. With the reversal of Yin and Yang, I shall live another life!”

Before the voice could fade, two beams of red light shot out from the statue’s eyes, transforming into a hideous blood-colored ghost face.

It pounced directly toward Ye Youluo, who was kneeling on the ground.

”Possession?!”

Ye Youluo’s face instantly turned pale. She never imagined that the ancestor she had yearned to worship...

...would want to swallow her the moment they met!

She wanted to resist, she wanted to flee, but under the absolute suppression coming from the source of her Bloodline...

...she couldn’t even move a single finger.

She could only watch helplessly as that terrifying ghost face drew closer and closer.

”This old thing is truly shameless!”

Ba Dao roared, raising his blade to charge forward.

But before he could take a step, a terrifying Spiritual Pressure pinned him directly to the spot.

He couldn’t even open his mouth.

Peak Late Stage Body Integration!

Even if it was just a wisp of a remnant Soul, here, in this lair he had managed for ten thousand years...

...he was an absolute god!

Just as the ghost face was about to drill into Ye Youluo’s forehead...

...Gu Xu’s palm suddenly shot in from the side.

Snap.

A light sound echoed.

That palm firmly gripped the blood-colored ghost face by the throat, as if pinching a dead rat.

”Old man, touching my person right in front of me—are you perhaps showing too little respect for your new master?”

Chen Xu had appeared in front of Ye Youluo at some unknown point.

With one hand raised to the sky, his expression was indifferent.

The blood-colored ghost face, held in Chen Xu’s grip, struggled frantically, letting out ear-piercing shrieks as it tried to break through Chen Xu’s confinement.

But Chen Xu’s palm was covered in a faint purple-gold glow. No matter how the ghost face lunged left and right, it could not cross the threshold by even half a step.

”Bastard!”

A furious roar erupted from the statue: ”A mere Human Race ant dares to obstruct this Emperor? Though your body is formidable, before this Emperor, you are nothing but a clay chicken or a pottery dog!”

”Remove your hand! Otherwise, this Emperor will ensure your Divine Soul is extinguished, never to be reincarnated!”

With that roar, the Devilish Qi within the entire hall completely boiled over.

The Deep Sea Demonic Jade covering the floor suddenly began to seep black liquid.

It transformed into countless black chains, coiling toward Chen Xu like venomous snakes.

Every chain was inscribed with curse runes; it was the ’Netherworld Soul-Binding Curse’ that the Demon Emperor had been most proud of during his life.

Once entangled, even the Divine Soul of a Body Integration Stage Cultivator would be corroded to nothing in an instant.

”Noisy.”

Chen Xu frowned slightly, and his five fingers suddenly exerted force.

Boom!

The blood-colored ghost face, condensed from the power of the remnant Soul, was actually crushed directly by him.

It turned into spots of red light and dissipated into the air.

”Ah—!”

A pained grunt came from the statue. Clearly, this blow had caused him a hidden injury.

”Since you’re already dead, stay in your coffin properly.”

Chen Xu casually flicked away the residual Devilish Qi on his hand and gave a light wave with his other hand.

An emerald-green sword light appeared out of thin air.

Myriad Ages Evergreen Sword!

The sword light, like water, rippled outward with Chen Xu as the center.

When those hideous and terrifying black chains came into contact with this layer of green sword light filled with vitality, they were like snow meeting a scorching sun, rapidly melting and disintegrating.

They turned back into black water on the ground.

”Hmm? This Aura...”

For the first time, a hint of gravity and suspicion appeared in the statue’s voice: ”This is no ordinary Divine Ability... This Law power that can reverse prosperity and decay... Are you holding an Imperial Weapon?!”

”At least you have some vision.”

Chen Xu held the longsword, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground, his posture as upright as a pine tree: ”Now, can we speak properly?”

Only then did Ye Youluo feel the suppression on her body loosen slightly. She struggled to stand up and hid behind Chen Xu, looking at the statue she once revered so deeply.

Her eyes held only fear and disgust.

”Speak properly? Hahahaha!”

The statue suddenly erupted into a fit of crazed laughter, the sound shaking the hall’s dome so much that debris began to fall: ”What an arrogant junior! Even if you have an Imperial Weapon, so what? Do you think you’re the only one?”

”This Emperor traversed the Upper Realm for tens of thousands of years and slew countless experts. How could a brat like you possibly comprehend my depth!”

Rumble—

The massive statue suddenly moved.

The small black tower that had always been held in its palm suddenly flew out.

The black tower, originally only the size of a palm, grew as it met the wind.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a terrifying giant tower thousands of feet tall, directly bursting through the dome of the hall.

The tower body was divided into nine levels, each burning with a different colored demonic fire.

Countless vengeful Souls circled around the tower, wailing in agony.

A pressure ten times more terrifying than before instantly enveloped the entire space.

Even the surrounding space began to show fine cracks.

As if it could not bear the weight of this massive object.

Wait—the Demonic Path Imperial Weapon, purgatory tower!”

Ye Youluo cried out in shock: ”This is the legendary divine object that can suppress the Luck of an entire world! Although it looks somewhat damaged, this Aura... there’s absolutely no mistake!”

It was indeed a damaged Imperial Weapon.

The tower body was covered in mottled blade marks and sword holes; even one corner had collapsed.

But this did not at all diminish the world-destroying power it radiated.

”To force this Emperor to use the purgatory tower, you have earned the right to be proud!”

The voice of the Demon Emperor’s remnant Soul became incredibly cold: ”Die! Hand over that sword in your hand and the body of the woman behind you!”

Boom!

The purgatory tower, carrying overwhelming demonic flames like a demonic mountain, came crashing down toward Chen Xu’s head.

This strike was not just a crushing of power, but a collision of rules.

The space beneath the tower was directly locked down, and gravity increased a thousandfold, ten thousandfold in an instant, even compressing the air into a liquid state.

Even standing at a distance, Ba Dao and Lan Shuyao were shaken by the aftershock until they spat blood, pinned to the ground and unable to move.

Only Chen Xu remained standing.

He looked up at the giant tower that blotted out the sun, and the Battle Intent in his eyes was completely ignited.

This was the first time he would face an Imperial Weapon of the same level head-on!

”Good timing!”

Chen Xu let out a long roar. The Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul within him shone brightly, and streams of Primordial Violet Qi, refined to the extreme, flooded into the Myriad Ages Evergreen Sword.

The originally emerald-green longsword now began to show a mysterious purple pattern.

”Myriad Ages Evergreen Art—One Sword to Open the Heavens!”

Chen Xu did not retreat a single step. Gripping the sword with both hands, he slashed upward against the descending giant tower!

There were no fancy sword technique variations, just the purest upward stroke.

But the moment this sword was swung, it was as if a phantom of a green lotus that connected heaven and earth bloomed behind him.

The green lotus swayed, brimming with vitality.

It was life’s declaration of war against death, the struggle of the new against the decayed.

Clang—!!!

An indescribable loud bang exploded throughout the entire Secret Realm.

Two Imperial Weapons containing the Laws of the Great Dao had collided without any trickery.

The green sword light and the black tower shadow intertwined and devoured each other frantically.

The entire hall was instantly turned to dust, and even the Secret Realm, which existed as a space fragment, began to tremble violently.

As if it would collapse at any moment.

A terrifying energy storm swept the surroundings, scraping away layer after layer of the ground.

The stalemate lasted for a full three breaths.

”Get back!”

Veins bulged on Chen Xu’s forehead as he let out a roar, his arms suddenly exerting massive force.

The sword light containing Primordial Qi suddenly surged, forcefully pushing against the purgatory tower.

It flipped the tower over and sent it flying backward!

”What?!”

The Demon Emperor’s remnant Soul let out an unbelievable cry of shock.

The massive purgatory tower tumbled through the air as it was knocked back.

It crashed heavily into the giant metal statue.

Boom!

The statue was smashed to pieces by its own weapon, and the wisp of remnant Soul residing within it was shaken so hard it almost dissipated.

”This is impossible! Why can your Law... restrain this Emperor’s Netherworld Death Qi?!”

A hint of fear finally entered the voice of the Demon Emperor’s remnant Soul.

He felt it—at the moment of the collision just now.

The power on the opponent’s sword was actually ’eating’ his Devilish Qi!

Chen Xu sheathed his sword and stood, his chest heaving slightly. Though his face was a bit pale, his eyes were startlingly bright.

”Nothing is impossible.”

Chen Xu walked step by step toward the ruins, the longsword in his hand still flickering with cold light: ”Your era ended long ago.”

”For this purgatory tower to follow a remnant Soul with only one breath left is truly a waste of a heavenly treasure.”

”Why don’t I take care of it for you instead?”

With every step Chen Xu took, his Aura rose another level, his overbearing arrogance...

...completely overwhelming the majesty of the Demon Emperor’s remnant Soul.

This was not just a fight to the death, but a handover between the old era and the new.

In Chen Xu’s eyes, which burned with ambition, this once-invincible Netherworld Demon Emperor...

...had become a piece of meat waiting to be slaughtered.

Above the ruins, the dust had not yet settled. Beside the collapsed giant metal statue, the purgatory tower was like a furious Vicious Beast.

Spewing black fire that made heaven and earth change color.

Though the Demon Emperor’s remnant Soul was only a wisp of Divine Thought, by relying on this natal Imperial Weapon...

...he had forcefully turned the tide of his original decline.

”Die! Die! Die!”

The remnant Soul hissed.

The purgatory tower rose into the air again, the bells on its nine levels shaking frantically, each impact sending out a ripple of visible sound waves.

This sonic wave was not aimed at the Physical Body, but pierced directly into the Divine Soul; the surrounding space shattered under its force like a fragile mirror.

It was covered in fine, spiderweb-like cracks.

Chen Xu held the Myriad Ages Evergreen Sword; though his face remained cold, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

To head-on resist a ten-thousand-year-old monster wielding an Imperial Weapon with only an Early Stage Body Integration cultivation—even if the opponent was merely a remnant Soul—the pressure involved was enough to cause the Physical Body of an ordinary Cultivator to disintegrate.

With every collision, Chen Xu felt as if he were being struck head-on by a divine mountain, his internal organs trembling violently.

But he did not retreat.

Not only did he not retreat, but the purple glow in his eyes grew increasingly fiery.

“Again!”

Chen Xu shattered the Void Realm with a step, his figure advancing instead of retreating.

The Myriad Ages Evergreen Sword in his hand transformed into a green beam that pierced through heaven and earth.

It collided fiercely once more with the crashing black tower.

Boom—!

A terrifying airwave scraped three feet off the ground, revealing the deep black Foundation beneath.

Chen Xu was sent flying backward by the impact, his feet plowing two deep furrows into the ground before he barely managed to steady himself.

The web between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand holding the sword split open, blood dripping down the hilt.

It was instantly sucked dry by the vitality of the sword blade.

“Still not dead? Just what is your Physical Body made of?!”

The voice of the remnant Soul of the Demon Emperor was laced with exasperation.

He could feel that with every collision, the power of his remnant Soul was being consumed significantly.

He was like a dying lamp about to run out of oil.

While the young man before him was like a pile of dry firewood burning brighter and brighter.

“Old man, you’re getting anxious.”

Chen Xu casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as the Primordial Chaos Dao Body within him operated frantically.

The dense Devilish Qi around him was no longer poison, but a continuous supply of replenishment.

The Meridians damaged by the shock were repaired in the span of a breath, becoming even tougher than before.

This was Chen Xu’s confidence.

In this Secret Realm overflowing with Devilish Qi, the Demon Emperor was exhausting his limited reserves, while he, Chen Xu, had the backing of a vast ocean.

“As long as we drag this out, the one who dies first will definitely be you.”

Chen Xu sneered and raised his sword again.

“You want to outlast this Emperor? Dream on!”

The remnant Soul of the Demon Emperor clearly realized this as well, and his high-and-mighty composure vanished instantly.

It was replaced by a desperate madness: “Since you want to die, this Emperor shall fulfill your wish! Even if it means this strand of Divine Soul dissipates, I will suppress and kill you here today!”

Buzz—!

The purgatory tower suddenly stopped spinning, hovering a thousand feet high in the sky.

A gate at the bottom of the tower, which had been tightly closed, swung open with a bang.

An extremely evil suction force erupted from within.

It wasn’t simple gravity, but a devouring force at the level of rules.

The space within a hundred-mile radius collapsed instantly; countless rocks, broken walls, and even the light in the air...

Were all forcibly pulled into the tower by that suction force.

“Purgatory Furnace, take him!”

Chen Xu felt his entire body tighten as he flew uncontrollably toward the bottom of the tower.

At that moment, he felt as if he had become a tiny ant facing a giant maw capable of devouring the starry sky.

In the distance, Ye Youluo’s face turned pale at the sight: “No! That is the core Divine Ability of the purgatory tower; once sucked in, one will be refined into bloody water!”

“Family Head!”

Ba Dao wanted to rush over, but he was knocked back repeatedly by the aftershocks of the suction force, unable to get close at all.

At the center of the storm, Chen Xu’s hair flew wildly and his clothes whipped loudly.

But his eyes remained terrifyingly calm.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the moment this old fellow staked everything on one throw.

Just as Chen Xu was about to be sucked into the tower’s mouth, his left hand, which had been behind his back, suddenly moved.

“I’ve been waiting for this move.”

The purple intent in Chen Xu’s eyes intensified to the extreme at this moment; he didn’t try to break free from the suction, but instead went with the flow, pushing out his left palm.

This seemingly ordinary palm strike contained a certain extremely obscure Spatial Law.

Within the palm, it was as if a miniature Universe was being born and destroyed.

“Divine Ability—One Palm, One World!”

Buzz!

The purgatory tower, which had been frantically devouring everything, suddenly seemed to have its throat stuck.

In front of Chen Xu’s left palm, space twisted and folded strangely. The entrance to the purgatory tower, which was enough to swallow heaven and earth, was actually wrapped up by this folded space.

It wasn’t that Chen Xu had sealed the purgatory tower, but rather that he had taken the space surrounding it...

And ’peeled’ it away from this world.

It was like taking an insect on a piece of paper and covering it with a glass cup.

“What?! How is this possible?!”

The remnant Soul of the Demon Emperor discovered in horror that his connection with the external world had been severed.

His Imperial Weapon was actually trapped within an independent space no more than ten feet wide.

No matter how it lunged and crashed, it felt like hitting cotton, unable to use its strength.

“Now, it’s my turn.”

Chen Xu’s figure flashed, directly penetrating that layer of spatial barrier and appearing at the top of the purgatory tower.

He sat cross-legged and formed hand Seals, and the phantom of the Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul suddenly emerged behind him.

It was an infant completely purple-gold in color, surrounded by Chaos Qi.

Though its eyes were tightly closed, when it opened its mouth, it had the momentum to swallow mountains and rivers.

“What are you trying to do?!”

The remnant Soul of the Demon Emperor looked at that never-before-seen Nascent Soul, and a sense of trembling arose spontaneously.

“I’ll borrow your Soul to help me break through to the next stage.”

Chen Xu’s voice was as cold as ice.

The next moment, the Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul snapped its eyes open and took a deep breath.

This time, it was no longer the purgatory tower devouring Chen Xu, but Chen Xu’s inch-high Nascent Soul...

Devouring this remnant Soul of the Demon Emperor who had lived for tens of thousands of years!

“No—! I am the Netherworld Demon Emperor! I am... Aaaaah!”

Piercing screams echoed within that small independent space.

The remnant Soul that had originally resided in the purgatory tower was forcibly peeled away by an irresistible supreme rule.

It was like scraping meat from bone.

That kind of pain surpassed all the tortures in the world.

The mass of blood-colored remnant Soul, as dazzling as a scorching sun, was pulled by the Primordial Qi, constantly deforming and stretching.

Finally, it turned into a blood-colored torrent, continuously pouring into the space between Chen Xu’s eyebrows.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, winds surged and clouds roiled.

This was originally the most fragile core Forbidden Ground for a Cultivator; the slightest mistake would result in the complete destruction of the Divine Soul.

But at this moment, Chen Xu’s Sea of Consciousness had turned into a furnace.

The moment the remnant Soul of the Demon Emperor was pulled into the Sea of Consciousness, it immediately transformed into a blood-colored demonic shadow that stood between heaven and earth.

“Arrogant brat! You dare to pull this Emperor into your Sea of Consciousness? You’re simply seeking death!”

Although the remnant Soul had been peeled out of his body, in his view, this was a god-given opportunity.

A starved camel is still bigger than a horse; in a pure competition of Divine Soul strength, he was confident he could easily crush this junior who was only at the Early Stage of Body Integration and perform Possession to take over.

“As long as I swallow your Divine Soul, this perfect Physical Body will be this Emperor’s!”

The blood-colored demonic shadow laughed wildly, opening its mouth to pounce toward the center of the Sea of Consciousness.

However, when he broke through the mist and saw the existence presiding over the center of the Sea of Consciousness, his laughter stopped abruptly.

There was no ordinary Primordial Spirit there, only a Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul sitting cross-legged atop a purple Qi lotus platform.

Though the Nascent Soul was small, the Aura it emitted was higher than the heavens and thicker than the earth.

It was the Aura of the Origin of all things, the end point of all Laws.

Before this Nascent Soul, the once-unrivaled Netherworld Demon Emperor felt as tiny as a grain of dust.

“This... what is this thing? This is definitely not a Nascent Soul that the Human Race should have!”

The voice of the remnant Soul of the Demon Emperor trembled; he wanted to flee, but this was Chen Xu’s home ground.

“Since you’ve come, don’t leave.”

Chen Xu’s grand voice echoed in the Sea of Consciousness.

The seated Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul slowly raised its hand; there were no earth-shattering Spells, merely a gentle clenching of its fist.

The previously calm Sea of Consciousness instantly turned into a purple raging tide.

Countless chains condensed from Primordial Violet Qi emerged from the void, instantly binding the blood-colored demonic shadow hand and foot.

“I am an Emperor! You cannot kill me! I have supreme secret arts, I have...”

“I don’t need you to give them to me, I’ll take them myself.”

The Nascent Soul opened its mouth and took a light breath.

Poof.

That once-unrivaled remnant Soul of the Demon Emperor completely shattered at this moment.

It turned into Soul Origin and countless memory light dots like fragments.

Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, these powers merged into the Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul without reservation.

In the hall, Chen Xu, who was sitting cross-legged on top of the purgatory tower, gave a violent jolt.

Boom!

A terrifying Aura erupted with him as the center.

The rocks and debris that had been sucked into the tower were instantly crushed into powder by this Aura.

A large number of memory fragments flooded into his mind.

That was the life of the Netherworld Demon Emperor.

Rising from insignificance, killing brothers and father, fighting in all directions, founding an Imperial Dynasty... and even more precious cultivation insights.

The essence of the Netherworld Ghost Dao, the application of Spatial Law, the control methods of the purgatory tower... these were things that, if placed in the outside world, would be enough to make any Holy Land fight to the death.

At this moment, like force-feeding a duck, all of it was stuffed into Chen Xu’s brain.

“Phew—”

Chen Xu exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

His cultivation Bottleneck had loosened.

The barrier that had been stuck at the Early Stage of Body Integration was like paper under the infusion of such a massive Soul Origin, shattering instantly.

Peak Early Stage Body Integration... Middle Stage Body Integration... Peak Middle Stage Body Integration... his Aura soared all the way until it barely touched the threshold of the Late Stage before slowly stopping.

It wasn’t for lack of power, but because Chen Xu had actively suppressed it.

If he forced a breakthrough, his Foundation would be unstable, leading to hidden dangers in the future.

He stored most of the remaining energy within the Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul, saving it for a steady flow in the future.

Even so, the current Chen Xu was worlds apart from how he was half an incense stick ago.

His Soul power had increased several times over; now, as his Divine Sense spread out...

It could easily penetrate the layers of mist in the core of Dragon Burial Valley, covering a thousand-mile radius.

Chen Xu slowly opened his eyes.

In his left eye was a purple scorching sun; in his right eye was a blood-colored crescent moon.

The purple Qi represented Grandmist, and the blood moon represented the Netherworld.

Two completely different powers merged perfectly within his body without the slightest repulsion.
