Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Chapter 1206 Yuan Jin Immortal King

"Boom..."

The void trembled violently. Wherever that voice, filled with earth-shattering rage, passed, the chaotic energy surged back like a raging tide, forming chaotic vortexes with diameters exceeding a million eons. Even the seemingly impregnable Myriad Immortals Array shook violently. Countless Dao runes on the array walls shattered and disintegrated one after another, like glass struck by a heavy hammer, turning into specks of spiritual light that dissipated into the chaos. The entire array hummed uncontrollably under this overwhelming pressure, as if it would crumble at any moment.

"That voice...it's Father (His Majesty)! We're saved! We're saved!" Within the Myriad Immortals Formation, the thirteenth prince and the others, who were hurtling towards the illusory body of the spirit like shooting stars, were overjoyed. A ray of hope, like the dawn breaking, suddenly bloomed in their hearts, which had been completely shrouded in darkness. They could even feel the dragging force behind them slightly pause because of this angry shout, as if even the chaos itself trembled at the arrival of the Immortal King.

However, this glimmer of hope flickered for only a moment before being swallowed by a deeper darkness of despair. The illusory spirit seemed completely oblivious to the voice of the Immortal King Yuan Jin, indifferently raising his hand, a deep entrance to an immortal realm appearing in his palm. Before the thirteenth prince and the others could even scream, they were gripped tightly by an invisible force, transformed into seventeen terrified streaks of light, like dust being sucked into a vortex, all drawn into their natal immortal realms.

Immediately afterwards, the endless light of the Great Dao exploded in the Immortal Realm, transforming into countless chains of rules shimmering with profound runes and gleaming with a cold metallic luster. Like venomous snakes, they precisely pierced through the immortal bodies of the Thirteenth Prince and the others, binding them tightly to the chaotic stone pillar deep within the Immortal Realm. Even their immortal souls were nailed to the core of the pillar by the chains. No matter how much they struggled, they could not move an inch and could only let out desperate whimpers.

"Damn it, you wretched creature, how dare you!"

Another roar came from the eastern horizon, carrying boundless killing intent capable of freezing even immortal souls. Wherever it passed, chaotic energy condensed into layers of ice crystals, as if to completely freeze the surrounding chaos of billions of years into a desolate wasteland.

Before the words were even finished, a deafening boom, as if from the very beginning of the universe, echoed as a figure ten times more terrifying than the previous Yuan Jin Immortal King's avatar pierced through the void. He still wore the Nine Dragons Golden Robe, but now each dragon was entwined with countless imperial runes, its scales shimmering with an eternal, immortal luster, and its eyes blazing with true eternal fire, seemingly capable of incinerating all things in the heavens.

The newcomer's face was identical to that of the Yuan Jin Immortal King's Dharma Body, except that the vicissitudes between his brows were even more pronounced. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, like a primordial beast that had been provoked. He stared intently at the illusory body of Ling Xu in the center of the Ten Thousand Immortals Array. The dragon energy of the nation's fortune around him surged wildly like a tsunami, stirring up golden waves thousands of feet high. Behind him, the phantom of the Yuan Jin Immortal Kingdom's territory spanning trillions of eons could be vaguely seen. The faith power of countless immortal cities and trillions of people gathered into a tangible pillar of light, merging into his body, making his aura even more solid and heavy, as if the foundation of the entire immortal kingdom lay beneath his feet.

"Hand over my son and the others, and I will forgive everything that happened before and let you leave. Otherwise, this will be your burial ground!"

Immortal King Yuan Jin slowly spoke, each word carrying the terrifying weight of someone capable of crushing an entire immortal realm. As he spoke, his overwhelming pressure erupted without reservation, like countless immortal mountains crushing down upon Ling Xu's illusory form. In an instant, the chaotic energy solidified into golden crystals, and all light was distorted, forming eerie arcs.

......

The Primordial World, the Primordial Immortal Palace.

"This pressure... it seems this battle isn't entirely unwinnable." Su Mo sat upright on the enlightenment futon, feeling the overwhelming pressure emanating from the Yuan Jin Immortal King. His eyes brightened slightly, and his fingertips lightly tapped his knees, producing a crisp sound. Although the pressure unleashed by the Yuan Jin Immortal King was considerably stronger than that of the illusory spirit in the center of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation—like the difference between a towering mountain and a solitary peak—it wasn't insurmountable; there was still room for maneuver.

Even if Yuan Jin Immortal King still has some trump cards up his sleeve, he's not holding back completely. Even if he's no match for the next battle, it shouldn't be difficult for him to hold out for a while. And given some time, once he's completely annihilated Wu Wang, Yuan Jin Immortal King will be nothing more than a piece of meat on his chopping block, ready to be slaughtered at his mercy.

If one could seize the eternal true spirit of a true Eternal Immortal King, it wouldn't be enough to make him immediately attain the Dao of Immortal King, but it would be a sure thing to make the lotus flower of the Great Dao bloom into twelve petals and break through to the legendary twelve-petal Golden Immortal realm.

The next second...

Su Mo's mind stirred slightly, and the illusory body in the center of the Myriad Immortals Formation slowly raised its eyes. Its gaze was like two extremely refined primordial purple lightning bolts, accurately landing on Immortal King Yuan Jin. Without showing any weakness, it retorted sharply, "If you want them, then come and take them yourself!"

"You refused a toast only to have to drink a forfeit; you asked for it!"

As he spoke, the body of the Yuanjin Immortal King trembled violently, and the Yuanjin Immortal Banner, the national treasure of their Yuanjin Immortal Kingdom, appeared above his head. It was a giant banner engraved with the Nine Dragons Devouring the Heavens pattern, its surface fluttering and radiating an aura that suppressed eternity. The supreme will originating from the very source of the Immortal Kingdom descended from the sky once more, like a celestial river overflowing its banks, transforming into billions of golden streams of light that all merged into the body of the Yuanjin Immortal King. Instantly, his immortal body expanded rapidly at a visible speed, transforming into a terrifying colossus hundreds of billions of eons in size, his head seemingly supporting overlapping celestial spheres, his feet seemingly rooted in the abyss of chaos, each breath stirring up the chaotic tides within billions of miles around him. His aura surged more than tenfold, faintly showing a tendency to surpass the level of a first-tier Eternal Immortal King, causing the surrounding timeline to become chaotic and distorted, with fragments of the past and future appearing and disappearing around him.

"Boom..."

The chaotic phantom surrounding Lingxu's illusory body trembled violently under the surge of pressure from Immortal King Yuanjin, churning endlessly like boiling oil thrown into water. Countless mushroom-shaped energy clouds rose from around the Myriad Immortals Array, the aftershocks of the shattered array foundation. Each mushroom cloud contained terrifying power capable of destroying an entire immortal realm. One after another, the once stable and operating immortal arrays collapsed and shattered like dominoes, their array patterns breaking inch by inch, emitting a mournful wail like shattering glass. The light curtain of the entire Myriad Immortals Array flickered under this pressure, like a candle in the wind, on the verge of complete collapse.

Just then...

In the center of the Myriad Immortals Formation, countless immortal lights suddenly shone within the natal immortal domain of the Spiritual Illusionary Body, like billions of stars suddenly blooming in the night sky. These immortal lights were not chaotic, but flowed along some mysterious trajectory. Apart from the ten Spiritual Illusions that had left the Yuanjin Immortal Kingdom long ago as a backup plan, and the thirty-six Spiritual Illusions that Su Mo had deliberately left behind to continue to erode Ancestor Wuwang, the remaining 1,754 Spiritual Illusions were all sent here by Su Mo.

Immediately afterwards, 1,753 illusory spirit bodies arranged themselves in an unbelievable formation, quickly combining to form Su Mo's strongest killing formation—the Thousand Gods Formation.

As the grand formation took shape, countless primordial gods and demons, each spanning billions of eons, slowly emerged behind the 1,753 illusory spirit bodies: some had nine heads, each with a different face, spewing primordial divine fire capable of burning away the chaos itself; some had ten thousand arms, each hand holding a divine weapon born at the dawn of creation, axes, halberds, and spears all imbued with the rules of destruction; some had snake bodies and human faces, their upper bodies possessing exquisite beauty, while their lower bodies were giant snakes covered in black armor, their eyes reflecting the trajectory of the universe's birth and death, and the cycle of all things... These primordial gods and demons exuded the savage pressure of the beginning of chaos, as if they had crossed over from the source of the river of time, their auras intertwining with the illusory spirit bodies, forming a vast torrent of power like a starry sea.

"Om..."

Instantly, Lingxu Huan Shen's body grew wildly taller, transforming in the blink of an eye into a colossal god not much shorter than Yuan Jin Immortal King. His muscles were radiating primordial purple energy, and every inch of his skin seemed to be forged from chaotic refined gold, making it indestructible. Then, Lingxu Huan Shen's aura surged like a bursting dam, rising higher and higher, growing wildly.

The chaotic energy that originally surrounded him rapidly transformed under the impact of this power, turning into the more primordial Primordial Purple Qi. The foundations of the Myriad Immortals Array, which had collapsed due to the pressure of the Primordial Immortal King, were now rapidly repaired under the nourishment of the Primordial Purple Qi. The broken array patterns were reconnected, and the dim light screen regained its golden radiance, becoming even more stable than before, blocking the Primordial Immortal King's might outside the array.

"Damn it, this wretch actually had something hidden!"
