Chapter 1084 Annihilation
Within the Azure Cloud Immortal Realm, countless half-step Golden Immortals stood frozen in the rain of blood. Icy droplets of blood soaked through their immortal robes, dripping down and forming crimson puddles at their feet, reflecting their paper-white faces. Yet, they seemed oblivious, their True Immortal power frozen solid. Only their bloodshot eyes, swollen from excessive blood flow, were fixed on the descending torrent of blood. In their pupils, the horrific scene of the world's collapse was magnified infinitely—shattered continents drifted like broken duckweed, the boiling cosmic sea was filled with destruction, and wailing creatures floated and sank in the blood. Every scene was like a red-hot iron, searing their souls and causing even their Dao hearts to waver violently.
With the consecutive fall of six Immortal Golden Immortals, they had already prepared for the worst in their panic. Their master, the Azure Cloud Golden Immortal—the Azure Cloud Immortal—might also face the same grim fate as the Profound True Golden Immortal and the others. But when this bloody reality crashed before their eyes—the Heaven-Reaching Azure Vine that carried the essence of the Azure Cloud Golden Immortal withered completely, and the ominous sign of shared grief throughout the Immortal Realm was undeniable—they were still struck as if by a thunderbolt from the heavens. Their throats felt as if they were blocked by scalding lead, and every breath was accompanied by tearing pain. They couldn't even let out a complete howl, only gasping for breath like dying beasts.
The Azure Cloud Golden Immortal... that's a genuine second-grade Golden Immortal! His cultivation and strength far surpass those of first-grade Golden Immortals like the Profound True Golden Immortal, making him one of the three giants of the nine immortal realms.
Now that even he has met his end, how long can the remaining Golden Immortals of the Cave and the Golden Immortals of the Purple Origin last?
Although these two are slightly stronger than Qingyun Golden Immortals, their strength is still limited.
Once these two Golden Immortals follow in their footsteps, then only death awaits the countless beings of the Nine Immortal Realms!
Immortal Golden Immortals are not only the creators and lords of their respective Immortal Realms, but also the very foundation and core of their domains, maintaining the operation of their laws. Like the main root of a tree, once it breaks, even the most lush branches and leaves will wither. If an Immortal Golden Immortal were to fall, the turmoil in the Immortal Realm would only be the beginning—the rules of the Immortal Realm would gradually become disordered, the immortal energy would thin out, the void would inexplicably crumble, the cosmic sea would accelerate its destruction, and ultimately, the entire Immortal Realm would perish in endless collapse, turning into a wisp of dust in the ancient Immortal Realm, vanishing completely into the annals of its history.
Disaster! This is a terrible disaster!
Fear, like the thickest ink, completely blackened the remaining skies of the Nine Immortal Realms, leaving not a trace of warmth even in the most intense sunlight, only a suffocating gloom.
A half-step Golden Immortal trembled as he gazed at the dark chaos beyond the Immortal Realm's barrier, his eyes filled with despair. The outer chaos was no benevolent place. Although those who reached the seventh-grade True Immortal realm possessed the power to tear through the Immortal Realm's barrier for a brief period, that void harbored countless chaotic storms and spatial rifts, and was even home to chaotic beasts comparable to immortal Golden Immortals. Even for half-step Golden Immortals like themselves, lingering in the chaos for an extended period often resulted in a near-death experience, with very few surviving.
The other immortal realms closest to their nine immortal realms are separated by trillions of eons. Even at the speed of a half-step Golden Immortal, the time required would be calculated in eons.
Such a long journey, and those who manage to arrive safely are absolutely one in ten.
Besides, even if they were lucky enough to reach other immortal realms, the lords of those realms might not necessarily give them a place to stay.
......
Within the chaotic void.
"Excellent! As expected of a top-tier Second-Rank Golden Immortal, he is indeed far superior to those First-Rank Golden Immortals!"
Su Mo stared at the semi-transparent light screen floating in front of him, his eyes bursting with amazing light. He couldn't help but let out a low shout, and the Primordial Purple Qi surrounding him surged violently because of this excitement, transforming into small dragons that circled around him.
A full 130 units of Immortal True Spirit—the Immortal True Spirit contributed by this Qingyun Golden Immortal alone was nearly half more than the combined contributions of the six Immortal Golden Immortals, including Xuanzhen Golden Immortal.
The next second...
Su Mo's gaze suddenly shifted, landing on the two barely surviving remnant souls at the other end of the formation.
On the left is the soul light of the Purple Origin Golden Immortal, once as brilliant as a galaxy, now reduced to a faint starlight. Under the crushing power of the formation, it flickers like a candle in the wind, each flash accompanied by the dissipation of its essence, yet it has not been extinguished by a stubborn will. On the right, the remnant soul of the Cave Nether Golden Immortal has transformed into a dim black mist. Within this mist, the phantom of the Soul-Devouring Banner occasionally flashes, but it can barely maintain even the most basic defense, passively enduring the onslaught, constantly dying and being reborn.
"Zi Yuan, Dong You... Next, you two mustn't disappoint me." Su Mo's eyes were filled with burning anticipation, as if he were examining two unparalleled gems that were about to be obtained. His fingertips unconsciously tapped the air, making a crisp sound.
"Let's add some more fire and finish you off quickly so I can focus on my breakthrough!"
Su Mo waved his hand, his voice tinged with impatience. Then, the Heavenly Gang Demon God's eyes suddenly lit up, and its twelve pairs of wings flapped violently, unleashing a destructive gale. Simultaneously, the flow of the Immortal Array's runes around it surged threefold, and countless golden chains and azure sword energies poured down like a torrential rain, like countless invisible blades, frantically slicing through the remnants of Zi Yuan and Dong You Golden Immortal's souls. Zi Yuan Golden Immortal's starlight soul light suddenly contracted violently, emitting a silent wail, its starlight dimming considerably. Dong You Golden Immortal's black mist was forcibly torn apart, revealing a faint soul core within, riddled with cracks, clearly at its limit and on the verge of collapse.
......
One hundred thousand years later.
"Boom..."
A deep, muffled, death knell-like roar erupted from the depths of the Cave Nether Immortal Realm, causing the entire realm to tremble violently, as if it had been thrown into a chaotic furnace.
Immediately afterward, a torrential downpour of blood fell without warning. This time, the blood droplets were as black as ink, mixed with wisps of eerie black mist—the remnants of the Soul-Devouring Power that made the Golden Immortal of the Cavern Realm famous. Wherever the blood rain passed, vegetation withered instantly, and the cultivators' immortal bodies were corroded by the black mist, emitting painful roars, their very souls seemingly about to be torn from their bodies by that chilling power.
The altar in the ancestral land of the Dongyou Immortal Clan, built of Chaos Nether Crystal, was struck as if by lightning. The phantom of the Spirit Devouring Banner, which symbolized the authority of the Dongyou Golden Immortal, shattered inch by inch, turning into countless black light spots that dissipated in the blood rain.
This scene was clearly witnessed by the half-step immortals of the various immortal realms who had been closely monitoring the movements of the Dongyou Immortal Realm. They hovered at the edge of chaos, their gazes fixed on the immortal realm shrouded in black blood, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
The color drained from their faces almost simultaneously, leaving only a deathly pallor, as if all life had been drained from them. The black blood that filled the air was like a series of heavy hammers, shattering the last shred of hope in their hearts, making even their breathing stop, as if they were about to suffocate at any moment.
"It's over..."
Someone let out a desperate murmur, like the first domino to fall, instantly igniting the despair of all the half-step Golden Immortals. They stared at the blood-red sky in the direction of the Cave Nether Immortal Realm, the last glimmer of light in their eyes completely extinguished, their strength seemingly drained, and one after another they collapsed into the chaotic void.
The heavens of their nine immortal realms have truly and utterly collapsed!
From the fall of the first Heavenly Feather Golden Immortal to the current return of the Cave-Dwelling Golden Immortal, in less than ten million years, eight of the nine immortals who once supported the order of the entire ancient immortal realm have already perished. The remaining Purple Origin Golden Immortal, alone and powerless, how long can he hold on? It's probably only a matter of time.
At this moment, fear was no longer thick ink, but turned into a cold tide, engulfing them completely, leaving them with no strength to struggle, only numb despair.
......
Another 300,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Within the chaotic void array, the remaining starlight soul light of the Purple Origin Golden Immortal had thinned to almost transparent, like a wisp of smoke about to be blown away by the wind. Three hundred thousand years of crushing and annihilation had long since exhausted all his strength to struggle, leaving only an undying obsession supporting the last trace of his soul core, barely clinging to life under the strangulation of the array's power.
Suddenly, the starlight flickered violently, like the last gasp of a dying oil lamp, bursting forth with a weak yet blinding light, even coalescing into a blurry human face—the very image of the Purple Origin Golden Immortal before his death. Immediately following, an extremely venomous curse emanated from the depths of the soul core, piercing through the layers of array barriers, echoing through the chaos with boundless resentment and hatred:
"Ah...you heartless beast! You will die a horrible death! The vengeful spirits of billions of beings in the Nine Immortal Realms will haunt you day and night, the Immortal Dao will despise you, and one day, you will be devoured by the very essence you refined, suffering a fate even more tragic than ours, your body and soul annihilated, never to be reborn..."
The curse was as mournful as an owl's cry, each word seemingly formed from soul blood, carrying the curser's last remaining will and containing the original curse power of a perfect second-grade Golden Immortal. It seemed to want to carve this resentment into the depths of Su Mo's soul, so that he would never have peace.
Before the words were even finished, that glimmer of starlight and soul light suddenly dimmed. The last trace of immortal essence was completely exhausted amidst the curse, like a candle flame that had burned out, leaving not even a spark. The Purple Origin Golden Immortal, the master of the Purple Origin Immortal Realm, the head of the nine immortals, a perfect second-grade Golden Immortal, had ultimately been completely annihilated, leaving not even a fragment of his remnant soul.
"380 units of Immortal True Spirit, plus the other eight Immortals, make a total of 821 units of Immortal True Spirit. I wonder to what level my cultivation can be raised?"
