Chapter 1076 The Immortal King's Edict
In the void of the Nine Immortal Realms, the furious voice of the Burning Heaven Golden Immortal exploded through his divine sense, carrying scorching heat: "Two...twofold phenomenon! This brat Lie Xuan can actually trigger twofold phenomenon!"
As he spoke, the flames around him swayed violently due to the impact of this strange phenomenon. His originally crystal-clear flame robes began to ripple, like a lake of fire with a stone thrown in, ready to be torn apart at any moment by the pressure that spanned billions of years.
The double phenomenon is a resonance between heaven and earth that can only be triggered when exceptionally talented and profoundly gifted geniuses attain immortality. Such prodigies are destined for achievements far beyond those of ordinary Golden Immortals—provided they don't perish prematurely, they will at least become a fifth-grade Golden Immortal, and may even have the potential to reach the level of an Immortal King. Unlike himself, who has been trapped at the peak of the first grade for hundreds of thousands of cosmic eras, his immortal power stagnant like still water, his future prospects—let alone a fifth-grade Golden Immortal—are bleak, even his chances of breaking through to the third grade are as slim as a candle flickering in the wind.
Almost simultaneously, the expressions of the eight immortal golden immortals, including Xuanzhen Golden Immortal, became extremely solemn. The fluctuations of their immortal power became sluggish, as if they were bound by invisible shackles. The four words "Double Phenomenon" were like four ancient divine mountains that suppressed eternity, pressing heavily on their hearts and giving them a suffocating feeling as if their lungs were blocked.
“Once that brat Lie Xuan grows up and becomes a fifth-grade Golden Immortal…” The voice of the Golden Immortal of the Cave Netherworld came from the black mist, with a slight tremor that was hard to detect. The black mist surged due to his emotional fluctuations, revealing a faint skeleton phantom within it. “I’m afraid we will all die without a burial place.”
Even with the geographical advantages of the various immortal realms and the support of the realm array, they were no match for a fifth-grade Golden Immortal. Such an existence could overturn the foundation of their immortal realm with a flick of a finger and annihilate everything they had painstakingly built with a wave of their hand. They didn't even have the right to make the other party pay any price and could only become fish on the chopping block.
"No, we must not let that brat Lie Xuan grow up, otherwise, we will be in grave danger!" The Yin-Yang Taiji diagram in Xuanzhen Golden Immortal's eyes spun rapidly, and the black and white energies almost flew out of his eye sockets. A chilling killing intent rolled and steamed from his body, causing the surrounding void to condense into faint frost flowers.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen is absolutely right!" The Golden Immortal of the Nine Heavens shattered the illusory star map beneath his feet, stardust falling like tears, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent. "We must not allow that brat Lie Xuan to grow up. We must nip him in the bud before his foundation is stable!"
"This time, no matter the cost, we must eliminate this scourge!" The Azure Cloud Golden Immortal and the Emerald Azure Dragon nodded in unison. The Azure Dragon let out a deep roar, its claws carving deep claw marks in the void, from which golden blood of law seeped. The other five Immortal Golden Immortals also chimed in, their divine senses intertwining, their killing intent condensing into a tangible black wind that raged through the surrounding void, as if to tear that strange land into chaotic fragments.
"Since that's the case, let's use the Immortal Origin to deduce the exact location of those two thieves, and eliminate them in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles!" The Purple Origin Golden Immortal, who had been silent all along, took a deep breath, and the star runes on his robe suddenly lit up, like a burning starry sky, as if he had made some kind of heart-wrenching decision.
Damaging one's immortal origin is tantamount to damaging one's own foundation. At best, it would cause one's cultivation to regress; at worst, it would prevent any further progress. But at this moment, they were already on the verge of disaster and had no choice but to act. Otherwise, if they allowed that brat Lie Xuan to grow up, they would only face an even more tragic end.
"Alright! We'll do as Fellow Daoist Ziyuan says!" The eight Immortal Golden Immortals, including Xuanzhen Golden Immortal, gritted their teeth, a resolute glint in their eyes. While the Immortal Origin was precious, related to their very foundation and lifeline, they couldn't afford to worry about that now—the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. Once that brat Liexuan broke through to the Second-Rank Golden Immortal realm, dealing with him would be nothing but a pipe dream.
Zi Yuan Jin Xian nodded, his divine sense carrying an unquestionable command: "Then, everyone, we shall meet on the Nine Domains Continent. At that time, we will use our origins as a guide to jointly trace its path!"
"We will definitely be there!"
The voices of the eight immortals rang out simultaneously, carrying a resolute determination to burn one's bridges.
"Then I will await the arrival of all fellow Daoists in the Nine Domains Continent." As the voice of the Purple Origin Golden Immortal fell, the star orbit array around him suddenly contracted, transforming into a purple light that pierced through the void and sped toward the Nine Domains Continent. Where the star light passed, it left behind a string of shimmering star orbit afterimages.
......
The Immortal Vision Center.
The terrifying pressure that Su Mo possessed, which even made a First-Rank Golden Immortal tremble, rapidly receded like a tide, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye, returning him to his former simplicity—as if he were merely a mortal spirit unaware of any cultivation methods, standing in chaos, without a trace of superfluous aura around him. If it weren't for the occasional wisp of immortal Daoist charm, carrying the majesty of suppressing the void, no one would have imagined that this body concealed a terrifying power capable of frightening even an Immortal Golden Immortal.
The next second...
Su Mo slowly opened his tightly closed eyes. Two deep streaks of light flashed across his pupils, and upon closer inspection, two miniature immortal realms flickered in his vision. Feeling the surging power within his body, Su Mo flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of primordial immortal light shot out. The light traced an eternal path in the void, lingering for a long time, and his face once again showed a touch of intoxication and confidence.
With the cultivation level of a first-grade perfect Golden Immortal, combined with the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body, his combat power is definitely not below that of some second-grade Golden Immortals, and in some aspects, it is even far superior to ordinary second-grade Golden Immortals.
Once the Thousand Gods Formation is set up, the 1,500 illusory spirit bodies with synchronized cultivation levels will be able to fight and defeat even a fourth-grade immortal golden immortal. Even against a fifth-grade golden immortal, they can hold their own and retreat unscathed.
At this moment, in this ancient immortal realm where powerful beings abound, he finally had a foothold.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a flash of light appeared before Su Mo's eyes, and a light screen that only he could see quietly emerged.
Immortal Golden Immortals transcend the river of time and space, possessing endless lifespans. Unless they die an unnatural death, they are immortal. If one could capture an Immortal Golden Immortal and plunder their endless lifespan, would it mean being able to quickly break through to a higher realm?
However, Su Mo's expression quickly froze, then turned into a wry smile.
"Indeed, there's no such thing as a free lunch. It's not that easy to rise to the top in one step."
Below the light screen, after the breakthrough conditions of the "Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Scripture" and the "Primordial Void Ultimate Immortal Scripture", the words "lifespan" have been replaced with "immortal true spirit".
After a few breaths.
Su Mo seemed to have thought of something, let out a soft sigh, and smiled with relief. "Changing to this Immortal True Spirit isn't entirely without its advantages. At least I can finally be free from long periods of seclusion!"
His years of seclusion had almost driven him nauseous. Now that he had become an Immortal True Spirit, future breakthroughs would only require suppressing other Immortal Golden Immortals and extracting their true spirits. He no longer needed to spend countless years sitting in arduous cultivation as before, which saved him a lot of effort.
"I wonder if, with my current level of cultivation, I'm even capable of seeing through the true nature of that cheat system?"
A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Su Mo's eyes. With a thought, a condensed, almost tangible spiritual power probed into the depths of his sea of consciousness, carrying the immortal Daoist charm. Like a golden river, it slowly enveloped the hazy divine light that had accompanied him from beginning to end.
......
One day later.
Su Mo opened his eyes again, a hint of regret flashing in them, and muttered to himself, "Sigh! Still a little short!"
Although the hazy mist surrounding the divine light dissipated considerably under the mental power of a first-grade perfected Golden Immortal, he could roughly see the outline of the divine light—it was a ball of light about the size of a fist, flowing with chaotic energy, with countless runes seemingly flowing on its surface. However, at its core, a thin layer of mist stubbornly blocked his mind, and no matter how much he urged his divine soul, he could not penetrate it.
"I'm afraid I'll need to break through another level before I can completely see through that fog."
Su Mo frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed – the golden finger was right there in his sea of consciousness, connected to his soul, and couldn't escape. It was only a matter of time before he saw it clearly, so why be so fixated on it now?
Immediately afterwards, Su Mo looked up at the void and saw that the immortal phenomenon that had been churning for so long was now like a candle flickering in the wind, its light gradually dimming, the roar of the purple-gold divine thunder becoming weak, and the petals of the Primordial Golden Lotus beginning to wither.
"The Immortal Phenomenon is about to end!"
As if confirming his judgment, in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the remaining purple-gold divine lightning in the void turned into specks of light and dissipated. The petals of the twenty-four-petaled Primordial Golden Lotus withered one by one, turning into pure Daoist rhyme and merging into chaos. Even those ancient and immortal phantoms gradually faded away and eventually disappeared without a trace.
The surrounding void returned to its former chaotic state. Only the area where the immortal spiritual energy had been drained still retained faint traces of immortality, like an invisible scroll, proving that the breakthrough that shook the universe not long ago was not an illusion.
at this time......
A voice devoid of emotion yet exuding supreme majesty suddenly boomed within Su Mo's sea of consciousness, like a thunderclap from the heavens, causing his very soul to tremble slightly, as if his entire sea of consciousness resonated with it: "Immortal King Yuan Jin's decree: The newly ascended Immortal King shall, within one hundred Chaos Eras, journey to the Void Star Abyss to establish an Immortal Realm. There shall be no failure! Those who disobey this order shall be stripped of their Immortal authority and cast into the Cycle of Reincarnation, never to be reborn!"
