Chapter 1133: Genocide
Chapter 1133: Genocide
A cold, icy voice came from the spatial rift, devoid of any human warmth. Each word seemed to be carved from ancient ice, carrying a bone-chilling coldness, as if stating an established fact that had long been etched into the path of the Great Dao, allowing no room for doubt.
Before the words were even finished, the colossal hand that blotted out the sky had already crushed down with unstoppable force. Before the five fingers even touched the Flame Ancestor Yanming's protective shield, the chaotic energy swirling around the fingertips had already caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the surface of the shield, emitting a sizzling sound—the strange noise of rules being forcibly crushed.
In less than a breath, the flame shield that could withstand the full force of a seventh-grade Golden Immortal's attack shattered completely. Sparks flew everywhere like falling meteors, tracing tragic arcs in the air before extinguishing. As the five fingers descended, they transformed into five colossal pillars supporting the sky, like five coiled black dragons, firmly gripping him in their palms. Each palm line was like a bottomless abyss, pressing down on his immortal bones, causing them to creak.
"Crack! Click!"
The sound of bones cracking was exceptionally clear in the deathly silent space, as if it were hammering at the soul of Ancestor Yanming. He felt his entire body groaning in agony under immense force, and his immortal power within him was collapsing wildly like a flood breaking through a dam. His natal immortal domain was collapsing and annihilating in large swathes at a visible speed.
At this moment, he was like an ant being pinched, his limbs and bones locked by immense force. Even turning his eyes was exhausting. He could only watch helplessly as he was lifted up by a giant hand and dragged towards the dark spatial rift that swallowed light. The chaotic aura emanating from within made his immortal soul tremble, and the shadow of death completely enveloped him.
Almost simultaneously, similar roars echoed throughout the Fiery Prison Immortal Realm, like the prelude to the collapse of heaven and earth.
Just as Ancestor Yan Lie, one of the three Seventh-Rank Golden Immortals responsible for guarding the core of the clan's territory, unleashed his natal immortal weapon, the "Burning Heaven Divine Sword," its blade blazing with flames of immense length as he attempted to detect the disturbance, the space above his head shattered with a deafening roar. A similarly colossal hand, ignoring the scorching flames, grabbed him and his weapon, capturing them both. The Burning Heaven Divine Sword let out a mournful cry, its light dimming like a dying candle. Meanwhile, Ancestor Yan Li, another Seventh-Rank Golden Immortal who was inventorying resources in the clan's treasury, hadn't even reacted before a massive hand erupted from the ground, pressing down on him. That hand carried the heavy power of earth-elemental rules. They pressed her firmly to the floor of the treasure vault, instantly suppressing her. Countless immortal materials inside the vault rolled to the ground, and the shimmering immortal light appeared even more desolate in the deathly silence, ignored by everyone. Even the sixth-rank, fifth-rank, and lower-rank Golden Immortal ancestors who were scattered throughout the Immortal Realm and even traveling in other star abysses were not spared. One after another, huge hands that suddenly appeared and covered the sky were like precise hunters, penetrating the spatial barrier and crossing endless distances to capture all the immortal Golden Immortals of the Yan Yu clan. Not one of them could escape, not even those hiding in secret treasures that could shield divine sense.
In less than a day, all of the hundreds of Immortal Golden Immortals of the Yanyu Clan were captured without exception. Those large hands, carrying the prisoners, slowly retreated into the collapsing spatial rift, leaving behind only a devastated Yanyu Immortal Realm.
......
Three days later.
The sea of magma gradually subsided, the spatial rift slowly closed, and the chaotic air currents at the edges stabilized, as if everything that had just happened was merely a nightmare. However, the empty Burning Heaven Secret Realm and the disappearance of all the immortal golden immortal auras in the clan's territory silently proclaimed: the Yan Yu clan was now merely a name in name only.
......
Crimson Phoenix Immortal Boat, Phoenix Immortal Palace.
Su Mo sat cross-legged on the purple cloud futon. A flash of fire appeared in his palm, revealing hundreds of tiny figures as densely packed as ants. They were all wearing tattered flame immortal armor, their bodies compressed by an invisible force, and their faces frozen in fear and pain. They were none other than the hundreds of immortal golden immortals of the Yan Yu clan.
The next second...
"Whoosh..."
With a wave of his hand, Su Mo unleashed a gentle yet irresistible suction force from his palm, drawing in the Yan Yu Ancestor along with the hundreds of Immortal Golden Immortals under his grasp. They were then absorbed into the empty Chaos Cage within his Natal Immortal Domain. Soon after, the chaotic runes on the cage began to glow, like golden chains that firmly locked their auras, preventing even the slightest fluctuation from leaking out.
Then, Su Mo withdrew his gaze and ignored them, as if they were insignificant objects to be casually placed aside. To him, these people were merely tools for accumulating cultivation; their fear and despair were completely unworthy of his attention, just as mortals would not care about the life or death of ants.
The next second...
Su Mo's gaze shifted, landing on Yun Shu, the only female Golden Immortal bound by the net of rules. At this moment, Yun Shu had lost her former aloofness and nobility. Her palace dress, now dimly lit, was stained with dust and blood, and several tears revealed her pale skin. Her hair was disheveled and stuck to her cheeks, stained with sweat and dust. Her face was as pale as paper, and her lips trembled slightly, devoid of any color.
Upon seeing Su Mo's gaze, Fairy Yun Shu's body trembled uncontrollably, as if enveloped by an invisible chill. Her eyes, once as clear as the starry sky, were now filled with intense fear; her pupils contracted in extreme horror, reflecting Su Mo's indifferent figure.
She instinctively tried to back away, but the net of rules around her ankles suddenly tightened. The pale golden threads dug into her fair skin, causing fine beads of blood to appear, binding her firmly in place. She could only watch helplessly as that cold gaze fell upon her, with an indifferent indifference as if examining an object.
"Next up is your Nebula Immortal Clan."
Su Mo's voice was calm and even, yet it carried an undeniable determination.
As he spoke, he pointed his fingers like a sword and gently touched the space between Yun Shu Fairy's eyebrows. A golden light, even more refined than when he collected the lifeblood of Ancestor Yan Yu, shot out and precisely pierced the star mark between her eyebrows. Yun Shu Fairy let out a muffled groan, her delicate body trembling violently. A drop of silver blood, as brilliant as a star, was forced from between her eyebrows, condensing in the air into a blood bead the size of a lotus seed, flowing with the pure aura of stellar origin, and slowly falling into Su Mo's palm.
The moment this drop of primordial essence entered my hands, it emitted a faint, clear glow, as if I were holding a condensed galaxy. The stellar laws contained within it were even more profound than those of the Flame Ancestor, carrying a vast and timeless charm, much like the antiquity and mystery one feels when gazing at the starry sky.
Holding the silver blood bead, Su Mo once again formed profound hand seals, his fingertips swirling with primordial divine light, outlining a blood-red array plate in the air that was similar to the previous one but also bore star patterns. The edges of the array plate were engraved with star chart symbols such as the Big Dipper and the Purple Palace Enclosure, flowing with faint starlight, mysterious and profound.
Then, the drop of primordial blood slowly turned and transformed into a ray of starlight, falling into the central groove of the blood-red array plate. It perfectly matched the array plate, and the star symbols on the array plate instantly lit up, as if they had come to life. They began to slowly rotate according to a certain pattern, emitting a faint hum.
"Using blood as the guide and soul as the medium, through the primordial evolution, we seek the traces and clues..."
The ancient and obscure incantation rang out from Su Mo's mouth once more. This time, the incantation had a rhythmic quality reminiscent of the movement of stars. Each syllable seemed to transform into a twinkling star, swirling and dancing within the Phoenix Immortal Palace, trailing a faint tail of light, and finally merging into the blood-red array plate, making the star patterns on the array plate even brighter.
As the incantation ended, the star patterns on the array plate gradually lit up, and the silver blood bead began to tremble violently. A phantom image of Fairy Yun Shu appeared on its surface, dressed in a star-studded palace dress, her expression indifferent. With a wave of her hand, billions of stars flowed across the surface of the blood bead, forming a miniature star map. Then, the blood bead transformed into slender silver rays, spreading along the array plate's patterns like flowing starlight, plunging into the void. It began to traverse endless distances, searching for those connected to Fairy Yun Shu by blood. No matter where they were, they would ultimately be precisely locked onto by these rays.
"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless, and the celestial orbits were connected, revealing themselves!"
......
Nine Flames Star Abyss, Black Flame Immortal Realm.
This place is the lair of the Black Flame Immortal Clan, one of the nine great immortal clans of the Nine Flames Star Abyss. Unlike the raging crimson of the Flame Prison Immortal Domain, the Black Flame Immortal Domain is shrouded in dense black mist year-round, within which cold black flames roll, burning silently yet capable of devouring light and life. Even the chaotic air currents flowing through this place are tainted with a deathly aura, exuding a chilling eeriness.
In the heart of the Black Flame Immortal Realm, a magnificent building called the "Obsidian Temple" floats above the black mist. The temple is entirely constructed from Chaos Origin Stone, a fourth-grade immortal treasure. The stone is warm yet incredibly hard, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a fifth-grade Golden Immortal. The roof is inlaid with countless dark purple star stones, which emit an eerie light in the black mist, making the temple appear like a ghostly palace. The pillars are carved with coiled black fire dragons, lifelike, their eyes flashing with ghostly fire, as if they might burst forth at any moment and spew out world-destroying black flames.
Inside the temple, Hei Jue, the current patriarch of the Black Flame Immortal Clan, sat high on the throne at the head of the table. He wore a dark, scaled immortal armor, from which wisps of black flame seeped, casting flickering light on his face. He was surrounded by the immortal pressure of a sixth-grade perfected Golden Immortal, a pressure carrying the domineering power to incinerate all things, filling the entire temple with a chilling atmosphere. He held a jade slip burning with black flames between his fingers, his eyes closed as he reviewed clan affairs, his expression indifferent, as if nothing in the world concerned him.
A hundred feet below him stood a man standing respectfully, reporting in a low voice. This man was also dressed in black armor, but the patterns on his armor were simpler, and the black flames swirling around him were much sparser. His aura was much weaker than that of the Black-Headed Golden Immortal, barely reaching the late stage of the fifth-grade Golden Immortal realm. He appeared quite reserved in front of the Black-Headed Golden Immortal.
"Kurosawa, what did you say? Over a hundred Immortal Golden Immortals of the Yanyu Clan, including the Yanyu Ancestor, have all disappeared?"
