Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Chapter 1191 Rank 8

The Ancestor Wuwang gazed at the ever-deepening engravings on the light screen of the Book of Chaos, each one seeming to etch itself into his heart, a fierce resentment and despair flashing in his eyes. Burning his immortal origin was tantamount to severing his path to becoming an Immortal King; without a heaven-defying opportunity, attaining the Immortal King realm would be nothing but a mirage, leaving not even a sliver of hope. Yet, if he did not burn his immortal origin, under the terrifying power of the "Heavenly Eternity Immortal Lord," which nearly surpassed that of a ninth-tier Quasi-Immortal King, the possibility of breaking through the encirclement was almost zero, ultimately leading only to his soul being annihilated.

He glanced up at his natal immortal artifact, the Book of Chaos. The edges of its pages had turned a faint grayish-white, as if drained of life by the passage of time. He could clearly feel the faint tremors emanating from within, as if telling of its unbearable exhaustion. The Ancestor Wuwang was torn by a fierce internal struggle, each second feeling like being devoured by a thousand ants, unbearably painful, his immortal soul throbbing with agony from this difficult choice.

Just as the Ancestor Wuwang hesitated and struggled, Su Mo focused his mind within the Hongmeng Immortal Palace and once again sank into the chaotic prison deep within his natal immortal domain.

At this moment, his Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body had broken through once again, steadily stepping into the seventh-grade perfection realm. The Primordial Light flowing around his body became increasingly condensed, and even the void rippled slightly with every move he made. However, this breakthrough also consumed almost all of the hundreds of immortal true spirits that Daoist Ziyuan had obtained. On the light screen of his sea of ​​consciousness, only less than one thousand true spirits remained, their value fluctuating slightly.

"He'll be next."

Su Mo's gaze swept over the two barely alive Quasi-Immortal Kings in the Chaos Prison: the Five Elements Ancestor was huddled in a corner, his primordial fire flickering like a candle in the wind, too weak to even lift his head; while the Celestial Lord of the Sky floated cross-legged, the wisp of immortal primordial energy between his brows, though faint, still carried a trace of the resilience of a fifth-order Quasi-Immortal King.

Finally, Su Mo's gaze settled on the Celestial Lord of the Azure Sky.

The Thirteenth Prince's scheme is not yet complete, and it is not the time to expose it. The Five Elements Ancestor should be left for now.

next moment......

"Om..."

Guarding the outer edge of the Chaos Prison, the last remaining ethereal spirit stirred, and a dense primordial power suddenly erupted from its body. This power surged forth like an invisible vortex, carrying an all-consuming might, enveloping the last wisp of immortal essence of the Celestial Lord.

Wherever it passed, the Celestial Lord's wisp of origin trembled violently, as if sensing an impending catastrophe. Its remaining consciousness tried to struggle, but couldn't even create a ripple. The power of primordial chaos was like the most precise scalpel, and even more like the most domineering furnace, rapidly cutting and dissolving every trace of that wisp of origin.

......

After a cup of tea's time.

Taiyu Star Abyss, the Celestial Realm High Above the Sky.

"Boom..."

The entire Immortal Realm suddenly trembled violently, a thousand times greater than the previous upheaval in the Purple Origin Immortal Realm, as if the entire Star Abyss was about to turn upside down. Continents undulated like waves, their edges constantly crumbling, countless immortal mountains and blessed lands collapsed with a roar, turning into dust and scattering into the void; the rushing immortal rivers surged upwards, transforming into a vast curtain of water, which then shattered into billions of water droplets under the impact of energy, each drop carrying the power of destruction; and vast amounts of space collapsed and disintegrated layer by layer, like pages torn apart by an invisible force, revealing the pitch-black void behind them, like a giant beast devouring everything in its path.

At the same time, blood rain poured down, the scarlet raindrops carrying a chilling cold, piercing every inch of space in the Celestial Realm like silver needles, staining all the cosmic seas blood-red, and even the air was filled with a faint, nauseatingly sweet, fishy smell.

Immediately afterwards, within the Immortal Realm, all the statues dedicated to the Celestial Lord of the Azure Sky—whether they were jade statues tens of thousands of light-years tall in the main city's main hall or small stone statues privately built by believers in border towns—all shattered and broke at the same instant. Amidst the flying debris, not even a trace of immortal charm remained.

An indescribable fear spread like a plague, engulfing the entire Celestial Realm. Countless cultivators stared at the blood rain and shattered statues, their faces pale, their bodies trembling, their expressions filled with bewilderment and helplessness.

The sky over their Celestial Realm has collapsed!

......

In the depths of the Eternal Night Palace, a dark and secluded palace, only the Star Gem emitted a faint light, casting a long shadow of the eighteenth prince.

"boom!"

The eighteenth prince abruptly rose from his throne, inlaid with star-shaped gems, slamming his fist into the black iron armrest. The solid armrest instantly dented, sending debris flying. His face was ashen, seemingly dripping with rage, his eyes blazing with fury and shock. Black mist swirled around him, threatening to engulf the entire palace: "Damn it! Even Qiong Gao... This is a trap! It's definitely a trap set by the thirteenth prince!"

In less than a day, the two quasi-immortal kings, Ziyuan Daojun and Qionggao Immortal Lord, fell one after another. What a coincidence! They must have already been captured, just waiting for his reinforcements to arrive so they could be killed and their power weakened!

"Fortunately, I was prepared and invited Senior Wuwang." The Eighteenth Prince took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. "Otherwise, there might be another Quasi-Immortal King who would follow in the footsteps of Immortal Lord Qiong Gao and the others, and my lineage would probably suffer a great loss of vitality."

As he spoke, he walked to the center of the palace, gazing at the chaotic image reflected in the void, a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "I wonder how things are on Senior Wuwang's side? Have he already captured the enemy and avenged Qiong Gao and the others?"

......

The Primordial Immortal Realm, the Primordial Immortal Palace.

As Su Mo gazed at the string of Immortal True Spirits that had increased more than ten thousand times on the attribute light screen before him, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, and even the corners of his eyes brightened. He exuded a sense of exhilaration.

"A fifth-order quasi-immortal king is indeed a fifth-order quasi-immortal king. This gain is far beyond what Zi Yuan Dao Jun, a third-order quasi-immortal king, can compare to."

"With this, my breakthrough to the eighth-grade perfect Golden Immortal is a sure thing, and I may even have a lot of true spirit left." A burning expectation flashed in Su Mo's eyes. "I wonder if I will have the ability to compete with the Eternal Immortal King at that time."

Then, Su Mo no longer hesitated and eagerly began his breakthrough.

"Quickly! Continue to infuse the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Scripture!"

[You have continuously circulated the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Scripture, tempering your immortal body with vast immortal true spirit. After 2000000 cosmic eras, your cultivation technique has finally reached a new level, successfully forging an eighth-grade Primordial Golden Immortal Body!]

As the notification sound rang out, Su Mo's immortal body suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. The light of the Primordial Chaos and the azure light of the Great Void intertwined to form a huge cocoon of light, enveloping the entire Primordial Immortal Palace. Hundreds of millions of rule runes flowed across the surface of the cocoon, making it sacred and majestic.

His flesh, bones, meridians... were all undergoing a transformative metamorphosis. Every cell was rejoicing. A terrifying pressure far exceeding that of a sixth-order quasi-immortal king soared into the sky, frantically impacting the four directions of the immortal array. This caused the entire Hongmeng Immortal Palace to tremble violently. The star patterns on the palace ceiling lit up simultaneously, emitting a deafening buzz, as if celebrating this tremendous breakthrough, or perhaps in awe of this newborn power.

......

Within the chaotic void, the attacks of the Myriad Immortals Array were like a relentless storm. Billions of divine lights, like dense arrows, carried the power to tear through chaos, frantically eroding the light screen hanging from the Book of Chaos. The shallow marks left earlier were now expanding and extending at a visible speed, spreading across the surface of the light screen like a spider web, emitting creaking sounds of unbearable strain, as if it would shatter and collapse completely at any moment. Even the pages of the Book of Chaos began to curl slightly, losing their former vitality.

Just then, the Wuwang Ancestor, who was still hesitating between burning and not burning, suddenly shuddered. A violent tremor ran through his natal immortal soul, a sharp and urgent warning originating from the purest depths of his soul. He felt as if he had fallen into a chaotic ice prison, the biting cold shooting from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, freezing his blood and soul. His teeth chattered, and he trembled uncontrollably, even his gray robes shaking slightly, revealing an unconcealable fear.

"My immortal soul is warning me... I'm about to face a great calamity?" Ancestor Wuwang's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with fear. "This... could this guy have some hidden trump card yet? How could he make my immortal soul feel such a strong threat to my life?"

He dared not think any further, feeling as if the shadow of death was ever-present, looming over his head, making it hard for him to breathe, and even his breath carried a chilling despair.

"No! A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat. I cannot sit idly by and wait for my demise!"

"So be it!" A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Wuwang Ancestor as he gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "It's better to sever my own path to Immortal Kinghood than to die and vanish like this! As long as I live, there is a glimmer of hope! Who knows, I might actually encounter a heaven-defying opportunity in the future and be able to continue my path to Immortal Kinghood, even if there is only a one in a billion chance!"

The next second...

Without further hesitation, the Immortal Origin within his body erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for billions of years, burning wildly!

Soon, his momentum soared like a rocket, from the late stage of the ninth rank to the peak of the ninth rank... In the blink of an eye, he crossed the limit of the ninth rank quasi-immortal king. His aura was so strong that it even slightly surpassed that of the current "Heavenly Heng Immortal Lord", causing the surrounding chaotic air currents to groan!

"The Book of Chaos, each page a piece of chaos, break through it for me!"
