Chapter 1137: Diverting trouble to the east
Amidst the flowing azure light, a majestic figure clad in lightning-patterned immortal armor stood silently. The lightning patterns on the armor meandered like dragons, each line seemingly containing the true essence of the Great Dao of Thunder. Each flash caused the surrounding chaotic energy to tremble violently, as if billions of bolts of lightning surged and roared within, threatening to tear the void apart at any moment. He was enveloped in dense azure divine lightning, and vaguely, thousands of dragon shadows seemed to writhe and roar, baring their fangs and claws, radiating a pressure that would suffocate even a sixth-grade Golden Immortal. Even the solid chaotic void was slightly distorted, rippling with fine waves.
The figure glanced in the direction of the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes—he was a peak seventh-grade Golden Immortal, and let alone a mere quasi-second-grade immortal ship, even a quasi-seventh-grade immortal artifact would have difficulty escaping his discerning eyes with its inherent aura. Yet, this Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship before him seemed shrouded in a fog, its depths unfathomable.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned his gaze to the purple immortal light that was relentlessly pursuing him from tens of millions of eons away, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
The next second...
His figure suddenly turned, and the speed of his azure light increased by another three percent, like an azure lightning bolt tearing through chaos, carrying world-destroying thunderous power, rushing towards the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship. Wherever he passed, the immortal thunderous rules roared, transforming into thousands of sharp thunder spears, cleaving and crushing all the chaotic air currents and fragments of rules that blocked his path, leaving behind a long, dazzling trail of lightning that lingered for a long time, as if it had carved an eternal rift in the chaos, which even the chaotic air currents could not smooth over.
Seeing the azure light change direction, the purple stream of light also changed course without hesitation, like a wisp of mist chasing a flame, clinging tightly to the azure light, never leaving its side. The spatial fluctuations emanating from the purple stream of light became increasingly strange, sometimes distorting the surrounding chaos, shrinking millions of years of void into a mere foot, causing the distance between the two to quietly shorten. Clearly, the pursuer possessed a profound understanding of the laws of space.
......
Beyond trillions of cosmic years.
The Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship was traversing a vast ocean of storms composed of chaotic hurricanes. These hurricanes were tens of millions of light-years thick, with jet-black air currents churning within their columns. The eyes of the hurricanes shimmered with countless sharp fragments of rules, their sharpness fully exposed, enough to easily annihilate a first-grade Golden Immortal. Even a third-grade Golden Immortal who strayed into them would have a considerable chance of being torn to pieces and perishing within the chaotic hurricanes if they could not break free in a very short time.
However, all of this was useless in front of the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Boat. The fire phoenix totem around the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Boat flickered with fire, transforming into a blazing fire barrier that kept all the hurricanes millions of feet away. No matter how fiercely the storm raged and crashed, the immortal boat remained as stable as Mount Tai, without even the slightest sway of its hull. It was as if it were simply sailing leisurely on a calm lake, relaxed and carefree.
Inside the Fire Phoenix Immortal Palace, Su Mo sat cross-legged on a purple cloud futon, surrounded by layers of purple aura that enveloped him like a light veil, his aura ethereal and perfectly blending with the surrounding Daoist energy.
Suddenly, Su Mo slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and a flash of purple-gold divine light appeared in his eyes, like two beams of primordial divine lightning, piercing through the immortal ship's barrier and precisely locking onto the two rapidly approaching streams of light a trillion cosmic years away, seeing everything inside them clearly.
next moment......
Su Mo's lips curled up slightly, a playful smile playing on his lips, and he murmured to himself, "Six Immortal Golden Immortals, all of them seventh-grade Golden Immortals, that's quite rare."
The Yuanxu Sea is vast and boundless, stretching for countless trillions of eons. Encountering other Golden Immortals is not easy. In the past epochs, he has only encountered three Immortal Golden Immortals, all alone. This is the first time he has seen them in such a group.
"Judging from their posture, they're coming for me."
Immediately afterwards, Su Mo closed his eyes, and the purple aura around him returned to silence, like an ancient well without any ripples. It was as if he had never noticed the six seventh-grade golden immortals, allowing the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Boat to maintain its original direction and speed, steadily approaching the two beams of immortal light, one blue and one purple.
......
one year later.
The distance between the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Boat and the azure immortal light was less than five million cosmic years. For a seventh-grade Golden Immortal, this distance was nothing more than a snap of the fingers, not even taking a single breath.
At this moment, the azure immortal light suddenly paused, and the seventh-rank Golden Immortal within it, clad in lightning-patterned immortal armor, abruptly turned around and shouted towards the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship. His voice, carrying the power of violent thunder, was like a thunderbolt ripped through the sky, piercing through nearly five million years of void, and clearly entered the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship: "Fellow Daoist, hurry! Quickly take the Myriad Manifestations Star Chart and leave! Under no circumstances should it fall into the hands of the Purple Void Heavenly Palace, otherwise, my Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect will be in grave danger!"
Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a condensed, crystal-clear azure stream of light shot out. Containing immense, immortal lightning rules, the light ripped through nearly five million years of spacetime, accompanied by a sharp, piercing whistle, and precisely struck the protective barrier of the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship. Within it, the faint image of an ancient scroll could be seen floating and sinking, with mountains, rivers, and stars flowing, lifelike and vivid, as if a true treasure were hidden there, causing one's heart to pound wildly.
At the same time, he turned around and, under the cover of throwing out a stream of light, suddenly changed direction and sped towards another, more dangerous, chaotic wasteland.
......
"Could this attempt to shift the blame be any more blatant?" Inside the Fire Phoenix Palace of the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship, Su Mo narrowed his eyes, watching the azure stream of light that crashed into the protective barrier and was gently deflected by the fire phoenix's glow. He twitched his lips, speechless.
Although he had long known that this seventh-grade Golden Immortal was heading straight for him with ill intentions, wanting to lure the pursuers behind him, he hadn't expected the old man's methods to be so blatant and clumsy. It was as if he had the word "scheming" written all over his face, as if he was afraid others wouldn't see through his intentions.
......
Within the purple celestial light, five figures clad in purple-patterned immortal robes stood silently, surrounded by a faint spatial mist, like a thin veil, perfectly concealing their auras. Unless one consciously sought them out, their presence was almost impossible to detect. The leading purple-robed golden immortal had a cold and stern face, with a subtle sword mark etched between his brows, seemingly emanating the phantom of supreme swordsmanship, occasionally flashing a sharp edge that appeared capable of tearing everything apart. He was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Purple Void Heavenly Palace—Ancestor Xuan Chen, a genuine seventh-grade perfect golden immortal.
He glanced at the azure light that suddenly turned ahead, then at the unhurried Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship that seemed indifferent to its surroundings. His brows furrowed slightly, and doubts arose in his mind: "Old Yuan Lei is as cunning as a fox and cautious all his life. How could he easily hand over such a treasure as the Myriad Manifestations Star Chart to someone else? Moreover, judging from the slow speed of that immortal ship, it doesn't seem like someone sent by the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect to pick him up. Furthermore, it doesn't carry any of the immortal Dao essence unique to the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect... Old Yuan Lei's actions are probably a trap."
Despite this, his fingertips unconsciously rubbed the amethyst token at his waist, and a trace of apprehension flashed in his eyes. What if this was a deliberate illusion set up by the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect, leading that old man Yuan Lei in circles while secretly taking away the Myriad Manifestations Star Map in an inconspicuous immortal ship?
No, the All-Encompassing Star Chart is of utmost importance; there can be absolutely no mistakes.
I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!
Moreover, the news of the Myriad Star Map must not be leaked, lest it attract the covetousness of other forces and cause unforeseen complications.
Soon, a ruthless glint flashed in Ancestor Xuanchen's eyes, and the spatial rules around him suddenly fluctuated, as if countless tiny spatial cracks were opening and closing, emitting a dangerous aura. He had made a decision in his heart.
Then, he turned to the two mid-stage seventh-rank Golden Immortals beside him and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Qingxiao and Junior Brother Chenming, go and capture that immortal ship. Search it carefully and make sure it doesn't get away! If there is a Myriad Manifestations Star Map, bring it back immediately; if there is no Myriad Manifestations Star Map, then kill everyone on the ship without leaving a trace, so as not to let the news leak out!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Xuan Chen!"
Ancestor Qingxiao and Ancestor Chenming responded in unison, their voices filled with unquestionable respect. With a swift movement, like two arrows released from a bow, they broke free from the purple immortal light, transforming into two purple shadows and heading straight for the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship. The spatial rules around them swirled wildly, their speed as mid-stage seventh-grade Golden Immortals unleashed at full force. The chaotic air currents along their path were twisted into enormous vortexes, and any weaker fragments of rules were instantly pulverized. In the blink of an eye, the two had traversed millions of eons of void, drawing ever closer to the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship.
After glancing at the departing Qingxiao Ancestor and the other two, Xuanchen Ancestor turned his gaze and locked it back on Yuanlei Ancestor, who was rapidly moving away from the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes: "The rest of you, follow me and continue to pursue that old man Yuanlei. We absolutely cannot let that old bastard get away."
"Yes, Senior Brother Xuan Chen."
The remaining two seventh-rank Golden Immortals from the Purple Void Heavenly Palace responded in unison, their voices filled with chilling killing intent. The purple immortal light accelerated again, like a purple lightning bolt tearing through the chaos, closely pursuing the figure of the Yuan Lei Golden Immortal. Only the two purple shadows of Ancestor Qingxiao and Ancestor Chenming remained, like two hungry wolves smelling blood, fiercely pouncing on the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship, determined to capture it.
