Burn life, borrow power from heaven and earth!

The more vigorous the life force, the longer the lifespan, the greater the power one could borrow!

Between heaven and earth, streams of pure cosmic energy, as Elder Shadowless began to burn his lifespan, madly infused into him.

In an instant, Elder Shadowless’s aura surged, vast and boundless mana gathered around his body, causing the surrounding air to tremble wildly.

The overflowing power created visible waves of energy, pushing outwards in all directions.

Cao Zhen stood beside Elder Shadowless, affected by the residual waves of power, he couldn’t even stand firm, involuntarily retreating backward.

For a time, Elder Shadowless’s entire being seemed connected as one with heaven and earth, his aura climbing higher and higher, making one feel that he had already surpassed the limits of the Longevity Period.

But as his own aura climbed, the life force emanating from his body grew weaker and weaker.

His hair and beard, glossy and black from his breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm, were visibly whitening at an alarming rate, his skin rapidly withered.

He looked as though he was on the brink of death.

But his spine remained rigidly straight.

Looking towards the Blood River, from which demonic beasts surged forth again, he didn’t wait for the powerful Formation to make its move, his body already soaring into the air, plunging headfirst into the Blood River.

“Heaven and Earth Ten Thousand Laws, Wu Ji…

Suppress!”

Elder Shadowless pushed out both hands, slamming fiercely upon the demonic beasts in the Blood River—his strength, fueled by the sacrifice of his life and power of heaven and earth, was terrifying.

With his full-force strike, the demonic beasts in the Blood River, not fully transmitted from the Boundless Bloody Hell, were pushed back into the Blood River by his power, retreating back into the Boundless Bloody Hell.

Yet Elder Shadowless’s body did not withdraw, continuing to charge into the Blood River.

In just a breath’s time, he had fully submerged into the Blood River.

The next moment, a thunderous, earth-shattering explosion rang out.

Suddenly, stars dimmed, the sky darkened.

The entire world, connecting to distant mountains, even further to Yong Feng City, trembled violently at that moment.

In the Blood River, all the waters, at that moment, surged upwards, thrusting towards the end of the sky, as if determined to knock all the stars and the moon from the heavens.

Elder Shadowless…

had self-destructed!

An Earth Immortal, after burning his own life, self-destructed!

Such might caused the surrounding earth to shatter and explode wildly.

And that Blood River, as the water was thrown into the air, evaporated by the horrific power of Elder Shadowless’s self-destruction, revealed a strange Formation below the Blood River.

And this Formation was utterly obliterated!

If one cannot break through the geomancy of this place, then block the Blood River!

The Blood River is very special; all Blood Rivers stem from the Boundless Bloody Hell, some naturally formed, some seemingly deliberately channeled.

But beneath all Blood Rivers, there is a Formation.

The Formation links the Boundless Bloody Hell with this world of Immortal Cultivation.

Once the Formation is destroyed, the connection between the Boundless Bloody Hell and this world of Immortal Cultivation is severed.

Shadowless, he blocked this connecting channel at the cost of his life!

With the channel blocked, all the water in the Blood River evaporated.

For a time, the Blood River was like a dried-up riverbed, only remaining traces of a blood scent, spreading throughout the surroundings.

In the distance among the mountains, endless angry roaring sounds emerged.

“To death!”

“Dare to sabotage our plans!”

“Shadowless, damn Shadowless!”

“Do you think that by dying, all will be settled?”

“Even if you die, your Sect is still there; the day we break free will be the doom of your Bright Heart Sect.”

“And those two youngsters from the Hundred Peaks Sect, you wait as well; without you, Shadowless wouldn’t have done this.

Wait and see; you and your Hundred Peaks Sect are doomed!”

Amidst these furious shouting, another voice came through.

This voice bore no anger and even carried traces of regret; not very loud, yet as it travelled, all other noises ceased, leaving only this voice echoing in the world.

“Shadowless, we are enemies.

But for what you did, I, Helian Baitian, deeply admire you.”

Helian Baitian!

Cao Zhen and Lan Pili both looked up towards the distant mountains, from where the voice emanated.

Helian Baitian, silent all this time, finally spoke, addressing the already self-destructed Elder Shadowless.

“I inform you, I will not use any tricks to reopen this Blood River.

This is out of respect for you.

You were a real man, just on the wrong path.

For the True Immortal Dynasty, for the Grand Preceptor, it’s not worth it.

As for the Blood River, even if I don’t use it, I, Helian Baitian, can still break through this seal.

In this world, no one can contain me.

Because I am Helian Baitian—and if Heaven can be defeated, what about mankind!”

With his words ending, Helian Baitian spoke no more, and from the surrounding coffins, no other sound was heard.

Cao Zhen’s gaze once again fell upon the Blood River, looking towards the now bloodless, completely dry river, he sighed deeply, “The ten Immortal Sects, this is what a true disciple of the Righteous Path is.

Even if Elder Shadowless has done wrong before, he acknowledged his mistakes.

Moreover, he has always sought to make amends, even willing to offer his very life without hesitation!”
