323: Immortality Arrives

“What happened?”

“What’s going on? Why do I have such a bad premonition?”

“Oh no! Those are... Ferocious Beasts, Ice Mandarin Ducks, Water Candle Demons, Soul-Crying Beasts...”

“Heavens! How did all these Vicious Beasts from before the Grandmist era appear?”

The Yao Race beings were shocked, seeing countless Vicious Beasts from before the Grandmist era rush out from the Divine Mountain, pressing down on them like a tidal wave.

Currently, most of the Yao Race in the Eternal Dao Realm are descendants from after the Grandmist era; only some ancient places still harbor existences from before the Grandmist era, and these places are invariably Forbidden Grounds and ancient sites.

Yet, to see so many remnants from before the Grandmist era here, how could the Yao Race not be alarmed?

Suddenly!

“Roar!!!”

Endless Chaos Qi permeated, and a massive figure rush out from within. Its blood-moon-like eyes swept over the Yao Race, and the next moment, its giant mouth opened, like a mountain torrent reversing or a vast sea striking the sky. Thousands of Yao Race members were enveloped by a bloody light, and the next moment, they were swept up and surged towards the giant mouth.

“No! Don’t!”

Many Yao Race members, if they struggled in the bloody light, would explode and turn into a mist of blood!

“Blood Ferocious Beast, it’s actually a descendant of the legendary Ferocious Beast!”

“Run!”

...The Yao Race members not affected looked terrified. They had already seen the face of the massive figure.

Wings on its waist, four horns on its head, glazed eyes, and blood-red skin!

This was a descendant of the legendary Ferocious Beast, the Ferocious Beast. Legend has it that the Ferocious Beast was a Divine Beast of the wilderness, originating from Mount Zhong, from the breath of the Yin Candle. It takes form in the sun, resembling a red leopard with five tails, wings on its waist, four horns on its head, glazed eyes, red skin with black patterns, and was the closest servant of the ultimate Dragon species, the Candle Dragon.

Such a Vicious Beast can be said to be incredibly powerful, and as its descendant, the Blood Ferocious Beast is naturally not weak. Furthermore, the Blood Ferocious Beast inherited the original malevolence of the Ferocious Beast, and was a notoriously Vicious Beast from before the Grandmist era, even more ferocious than the Ao Hen.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Yao Race beings were devoured by the Blood Ferocious Beast, but this did not satisfy it. It once again descended among the Yao Race. Any Yao Race member or Vicious Beast that approached it, whether in the Emperor Realm or a Dao Lord Supreme Sovereign, without exception, exploded and turned into a mist of blood, which it swallowed into its belly.

Panic spread, and fear gripped the Yao Race. Even powerhouses like Yuan Mang, who were Half-step Immortal Dao Lords, were like mantises trying to stop a chariot in front of the Blood Ferocious Beast. In a short while, hundreds of thousands of Yao Race members and three Half-step Immortal Dao Lords became the Blood Ferocious Beast’s blood meal.

Among them was the golden-armored middle-aged man from the Three-Eyed Divine Dynasty, whose strength was second only to Long Han.

Ultimately, the Yao Race fled, but only over a thousand managed to escape. Many more remained on the Divine Mountain, including Long Han, the strongest Yao Race expert in this Secret Realm.

Of those who escaped, some chose to leave, others chose to seek Opportunity elsewhere, but more were unwilling to give up.

The allure of a chaotic spiritual treasure, even after personally experiencing that terrifying disaster, could not extinguish the desire in their hearts.

Especially the great clans, who had already dispatched people out of the ruins to send messages back to their clans.

It is conceivable that once the news here spreads, those who come to this ruin will no longer be Dao Severing or Dao Lords, but those Immortal Dao Lords.

After all, having a chaotic spiritual treasure is enough to double one's combat power.

Divine Mountain!

Everything had already quieted down.

At this moment, inside the ancient hall, the Blood Ferocious Beast knelt in the center of the hall. Endless bloody Qi surged from its brow and flowed towards Xu Qing.

These were the pure energies remaining after the Blood Ferocious Beast refined many Yao Race members.

Xu Qing absorbed about seventy percent and then stopped absorbing.

“As for the rest, you can refine it yourself! This drop of Ferocious Beast's essence blood is your reward!”

Xu Qing waved his hand, and a drop of golden blood merged into the Blood Ferocious Beast’s forehead. The latter’s blood-red eyes filled with joy, and then it bowed and left the ancient hall.

“Next will be a fierce battle...”

Xu Qing stood up from the blood pool, raised his right hand, then closed his palm, a flash of Battle Intent in his eyes.

Blood Ape Heaven Realm!

“What? You said there are four chaotic spiritual treasures in the Tu You Mountain ruin?”

When Yuan Tongtian heard this news from Yuan Fei, he was completely shocked.

“I dare not deceive the Clan Chief. This matter is absolutely true! But there are Blood Ferocious Beasts and many Vicious Beasts from before the Grandmist era within the Divine Mountain, making it difficult for us to advance. Five Half-step Immortal Dao Lords have already perished inside the Divine Mountain!”

Yuan Fei clasped his fists and said.

“Hahahaha! Good! Very good!”

Upon confirmation, Yuan Tongtian laughed excitedly.

“Recall the other clan Old Ancestors to guard the clan. This Sovereign will go personally!”

Yuan Tongtian immediately gave the order.

“Clan Chief, do we not need to mobilize a large army?” Yuan Fei asked cautiously upon hearing this.

“With this Sovereign acting, why should the clan’s children have to fight and die again? The Sky Ape Dao Domain is not peaceful now, and the clan still needs to retain sufficient strength!”

“The Clan Chief is wise!”

Yuan Fei, upon hearing this, couldn't help but offer a compliment.

“Hahahaha! Let’s go!”

Yuan Tongtian grabbed Yuan Fei, and ripples appeared in the space before them, then drew closer layer by layer. In just a moment, they arrived at Tu You Mountain... Dragon Ape Heaven Realm, deep within Dragon Ape Ancestor Mountain, Chaos Qi was brilliant, shaking the universe!

“Long Han is dead! That ruin must not be simple! Second brother, you go!”

As the words fell, an ancient existence awakened and walked out from Dragon Ape Ancestor Mountain.

At this moment, the entire Sky Ape Dao Domain, even the warring Flying Divine Ape Clan and Tyrant Ape Royal Clan, ceased their battles and sent out Immortal existences to go.

Terrifying auras emanated from those places revered as Forbidden Grounds by the beings of the Sky Ape Dao Domain, spreading across the land, sweeping through the six directions and eight wildernesses.

Rumble!

As they descended, the universe of Tu You Mountain overturned, and earth-shattering fluctuations transmitted downwards, causing Tu You Mountain below to shake.

Countless beings in the entire Demon Monkey Heaven Realm trembled at this moment. They only saw in the deep, dark starry sky, existences like brilliant suns, standing above the firmament, looking down on the entire world.

“What a coincidence! To meet you all here!”

The Immortal from the Three-Eyed Divine Dynasty greeted everyone with a cheerful laugh.

“Old Monster Three-Eyes, you’re not dead yet?”

A strange laugh was heard, and a thin old man dressed in rags like a beggar laughed strangely. His behavior was odd, constantly scratching his ears and cheeks, making people find it amusing.

Yet, this person was Hou Tong, the Old Ancestor of the Hundred Transformations Divine Monkey Clan.

“If you haven’t died, how could this old man bear to close his eyes?”

The Immortal from the Three-Eyed Divine Dynasty was not angry; instead, he stroked his beard and smiled, appearing like an immortal.

“Tsk!”

Hou Tong pouted.

“Everyone, we should hurry, Yuan Tongtian has already gone down!”

Just then, the green-robed old man from the Divine Ape Dao Sect said anxiously.

“What?”

Upon hearing this, the first to lose patience was the Clan Chief of the Titan Giant Ape Clan, who directly escaped into the passage below.

The two Immortals from the Flying Divine Ape Clan and the Tyrant Ape Royal Clan, who had originally intended to compete, also lost their mood now.

Although the chaotic spiritual treasures were guarded by Vicious Beasts from before the Grandmist era, the strongest was only a Half-step Immortal Dao Lord. No matter how strong, they couldn't stop Yuan Tongtian, as he was not an ordinary Immortal Dao Lord.

If these four chaotic spiritual treasures were taken by him, his combat power would undoubtedly increase exponentially.

Moreover, for four chaotic spiritual treasures to appear simultaneously, there might be an even greater Opportunity within that ancient hall, perhaps a Legacy left by the owner of the ruin, or at the very least, a strand of Hongmeng Primordial Qi.

Hongmeng Primordial Qi, for any Immortal Dao Lord, is an incredibly rare treasure, something that some would even be willing to exchange a chaotic spiritual treasure for.
