Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Chapter 1179 Senior, save me

Chaos has no record of years; billions of years have slipped away like sand through our fingers.

In the Primordial Immortal Realm, within the Primordial World, Su Mo sat cross-legged in a stone pavilion built beside a lake. The pavilion was carved from primordial, unpolished stone, yet it exuded an ancient and rustic charm. Faint Primordial runes were engraved on the pillars, shimmering in the wind and reflecting the ripples on the lake's surface.

He held a yellowed ancient book in his hands, the edges of the pages slightly curled, revealing the vicissitudes of time, and the air was filled with the mellow fragrance of sandalwood. It was the "Origin of the Five Elements" that he had found from the Five Elements Ancestor.

As his fingertips gently traced the ancient characters, the words containing the principles of the Five Elements seemed to dance on his fingertips. Su Mo's expression was focused, sometimes frowning in deep thought, as if he were caught in the maze of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint; at other times he nodded and smiled, as if he had deciphered a key rule. A tranquility that blended with the Dao surrounded him, and even his breathing was in sync with the scent of the surrounding plants.

Suddenly, Su Mo seemed to sense something, lifting his gaze from the pages of his book to look towards the void beyond the Hongmeng Immortal Realm. A flash of divine light appeared in his deep eyes, as if he had pierced through billions of years, taking in all the movements in the distance. A smile gradually curved his lips, carrying a hint of understanding and anticipation: "They've arrived quite quickly."

......

The Primordial Immortal Realm is a chaotic void eight hundred billion cosmic years away.

Nine jet-black banners floated in the void, with ferocious phantoms of the Dark Night King baring their fangs and claws on their surfaces. Each phantom exuded the unique pressure of a ninth-grade immortal artifact, as if it wanted to devour the surrounding chaos, even absorbing the light into the depths of the banners.

These nine "Dark Night Heavenly King Flags" are connected end to end, arranged in a mysterious trajectory, forming a "Nine Extreme Heavenly King Array". The dark array light, like an eggshell, tightly protects the figure in the center - it is the Thousand Nights Golden Immortal controlled by Su Mo.

His face was as solemn as iron, his hands constantly forming hand seals, the immortal energy seeping from his fingertips condensing into runes and injecting them into the array flags to maintain the operation of the great array. The fine beads of sweat that appeared on his forehead were evaporated by the violent energy around him as soon as they appeared, revealing his predicament of reaching his limit.

Outside the grand formation, a colossal creature roared madly. It was a Void Demon Ape clad in black demonic armor, its body towering millions of light-years in height, like a wandering dark star. The armor was covered in spikes, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, each inch of which was inscribed with runes of devouring rules. It exuded the terrifying pressure of a mid-stage first-tier quasi-Immortal King, its blood surging like a raging torrent, even causing the surrounding chaotic energy to rumble violently.

"Roar!"

The Void Demon Ape roared, its sound wave as powerful as tangible thunder, causing the Nine Extremes Heavenly King Formation to vibrate. It swung its enormous, star-like fist, carrying the power to shatter the void, and slammed it fiercely towards the Nine Extremes Heavenly King Formation. Even before the fist arrived, the chaotic airflow outside the formation was torn into a vacuum, revealing a profound void.

"boom......"

The moment the giant fist collided with the array of light, it was like two celestial realms colliding. Terrifying shockwaves spread outwards, crushing the chaotic crystals from billions of years away into dust. The array trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared on the dark array of light. The phantom of the Dark Night King on the flag let out a painful roar, actually collapsing by more than half under this punch. Then, under the guidance of the runes on the flag, it quickly reformed, but it was several degrees dimmer than before.

"Qianye brat, let's see how long you can hold out! Break through my defenses!"

The Void Demon Ape didn't stop, unleashing another punch, followed by a third, a fourth... Each punch was a full-force attack from a mid-stage first-tier quasi-immortal king, the violent power crashing against the great formation like a tidal wave. The cracks on the Nine Extremes Heavenly King Banner continued to spread and expand under the repeated impacts, emitting a creaking sound, as if it would completely collapse at any moment.

at this time......

"Boom..."

A deep, muffled roar, like an ancient war drum, suddenly exploded, causing the chaotic void to tremble violently. It was as if countless chaotic beasts were galloping past, and the energy surge they unleashed caused the surrounding air currents, spanning trillions of eons, to resonate. This terrifying sound carried a soul-shaking pressure, causing even the unstoppable onslaught of the Void Demon Ape to involuntarily slow down.

next moment......

A figure stepped through the air, each step creating a purple ripple in the void. Wherever it passed, the raging chaotic airflow automatically dispersed as if encountering a king's subjects, forming a vacuum zone.

The newcomer's body was even more imposing than the Void Demon Ape, which was millions of light-years tall. He wore purple-gold immortal armor, the plates of which were engraved with intricate Daoist runes and flowed with dark purple light, making him appear like a war god wielding slaughter in the dark night. His purple hair cascaded down to his waist like a waterfall, with strands of the Dao of Space wrapped around each strand. Every movement of his hair seemed to cut through the void, leaving behind tiny spatial rifts.

The terrifying aura emanating from his body was more than a hundred times stronger than that of the Void Demon Ape. It was like an invisible mountain pressing down on people's hearts, causing them to feel instinctive fear with every move he made, and even their breathing became stagnant. It was as if they would be crushed into dust by this pressure if they were not careful.

The visitor was none other than Daoist Ziyuan, who had come to the rescue on the orders of the Eighteenth Prince.

"Qianye has not been defeated yet, so I am not too late." Ziyuan Daojun's gaze swept over Qianye Jinxian in the Nine Extremes Heavenly King Formation. Seeing that he was in a sorry state, with his immortal robes torn and blood at the corner of his mouth, he was still gritting his teeth and holding on. He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then, his gaze shifted and landed on the Void Demon Ape. A cold glint flashed in his purple-gold pupils, like ten-thousand-year-old ice, devoid of any warmth: "Void Ape brat, I am here. Do not be presumptuous. Surrender now and come with me to await the Eighteenth Prince's judgment. His Highness is merciful; considering the difficulty of your cultivation, you may still have a sliver of hope to live!"

Before he finished speaking, Daoist Ziyuan stepped forward. The terrifying pressure of a third-order quasi-immortal king was like a vast sea of ​​stars, sweeping towards the Taixu Demon Ape. Wherever it passed, the chaotic air currents were compressed into solidity, and the void groaned under the unbearable pressure.

“Old man Ziyuan, you should keep those words to yourself.” “Ancestor Yuanxu” was “struggling” to resist the pressure of Daoist Ziyuan, his demonic armor creaking under the strain, while he retorted forcefully, “Surrender now, and His Highness the Thirteenth Prince will be merciful and spare your life. Otherwise, this will be your burial ground.”

His demonic eyes showed no trace of panic or unease, but rather an eerie calm, as if he had foreseen all of this. His seemingly difficult resistance appeared to be a deliberate performance.

"This... something's not right with that brat Yuanxu. Could it be that he has something else to rely on?" Daoist Ziyuan's heart tightened. The pressure of a third-tier quasi-immortal king had clearly caused the opponent's demonic armor to deform, yet Ancestor Yuanxu's eyes showed no fear. This was definitely not the reaction a mid-stage first-tier quasi-immortal king should have when facing a third-tier expert. A sense of unease crept into his heart like a vine, causing him to subconsciously become alert. The spatial power around him began to flow rapidly, preparing to strike at any moment.

As if to confirm his premonition, countless runes suddenly lit up the chaotic void in all directions, like stars, instantly illuminating this dark chaos and turning the void into daylight. Immediately afterward, a series of cold, icy voices rolled from the depths of the void, carrying a resolute determination to crush the Great Dao, resounding throughout the entire chaos:

"Primordial Chaos Limitless Heaven-Binding Formation, Heaven-Binding!"

"The Heavenly Net of Destiny Locks the Gods Formation, Lock the Gods!"

"Space-Time Vortex Soul-Imprisoning Array, Soul Imprisonment!"

"The Reincarnation Styx Binding Spirit Array, bind the spirit!"

"Primordial Chaos Calamity Flame Annihilation Array, Annihilation!"

"Space-Time Shattering God-Slaying Array, Slay Gods!"

"Blood Prison Reincarnation Immortal-Slaying Formation, Slay the Immortal!"

"The Great Formation for Slaying Gods Through Karmic Retribution, Slay the Gods!"

"The Five Elements Unification Annihilation Formation, Annihilation!"

……

The moment the words fell, nine immortal formations appeared simultaneously. The phantoms of the formation flags floated in the void, and the runes intertwined into a net, enveloping Ziyuan Daojun and Taixu Demon Ape along with the crumbling Nine Extremes Heavenly King Formation, forming a massive killing formation that prevented even a trace of their aura from leaking out.

The "Primordial Chaos Limitless Trapping Heaven Formation" was activated first, with billions of Primordial Purple Qi transforming into chains that wove a huge dome in the void, imprisoning even the immortal rules within. Zi Yuan Daojun felt the space around him become as sticky as mud, and every movement required a hundred times the effort, as if he had sunk into a bottomless quagmire, making the operation of the Great Dao of Space sluggish.

The "Heavenly Net of Destiny Locking God Formation" followed closely behind, with countless silver threads descending from the sky, covering Zi Yuan Dao Jun's immortal soul like a fishing net. The threads were shimmering with runes of destiny, attempting to forcibly alter his destiny trajectory, causing him to lose his Dao heart, fundamentally dismantling his fighting spirit, and even causing illusions of defeat and death to appear in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The "Space-Time Vortex Soul-Imprisoning Array" draws upon the power of space-time, forming a bottomless vortex beneath the feet of Daoist Ziyuan. Within the vortex, space-time is distorted, with phantoms of the past and future intertwined, constantly pulling at his immortal soul, as if trying to drag him into an endless turbulent flow of space-time.

Within the "Soul-Binding Array of the River of Reincarnation," a pitch-black River of the Underworld appeared out of thin air, with billions of remnant souls floating in its waters, emanating an aura that corroded true spirits. Where the river water flowed, traces of decay appeared on the surface of the immortal body of the Purple Origin Dao Lord, which even the immortal spiritual light could not withstand. It was the deathly power from the end of reincarnation, which specifically countered immortal vitality.

The "Primordial Calamity Fire Annihilation Array" ignited with golden-red flames. These flames did not burn the physical body, but instead burned the Great Dao. The spatial laws surrounding Dao Lord Ziyuan were ignited by the flames, emitting a sizzling sound, and the runes on his immortal armor dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The "Space-Time Shattering God-Slaying Array" turned the surrounding space-time into dust, and countless sharp space-time fragments rained down on Ziyuan Daojun. Each fragment contained the power of the Shattered Great Dao, causing sparks to fly from his purple-gold immortal armor and leaving fine dents.

The "Blood Prison Reincarnation Immortal Slaying Formation" caused the sea of ​​blood to surge, and countless blood-red longswords rose from it. The blades were engraved with reincarnation runes, and each strike carried the causal power of past and present lives, causing Zi Yuan Daojun's immortal soul to ache in waves, as if he were being dragged into the sea of ​​blood to reincarnate and suffer the torment of reincarnation for eternity.

The "Karma and Karma Slaying God Formation" is even more bizarre. The karma between Ziyuan Daojun and the eighteenth prince, the entanglements with his subordinate immortal generals, and the grudges with his past enemies all turn into endless karmic fire, burning wildly in his body, causing his blood and qi to surge and his immortal power to circulate in chaos.

The final "Five Elements Unification and Annihilation Array" gathered the essence of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) and transformed into a five-colored pillar of light. The pillar contained the ultimate principle of the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, and it slammed into the Dao Foundation of the Purple Origin Dao Lord. Under the impact of the power of the five elements, the spatial Dao he controlled showed signs of collapse.

Nine interlocking formations trapped Zi Yuan Daojun firmly in the center, instantly dissipating most of the pressure from the third-tier quasi-immortal king.

"Damn it, the Thirteenth Prince really did have a backup plan. Qianye was just a bait they deliberately left behind." Daoist Ziyuan's expression changed drastically. Any one of these nine immortal formations would be enough to give him a hard time. With all nine formations activated, he would have virtually no chance of escaping. A bone-chilling coldness shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. "Phew... Fortunately, the Eighteenth Prince was prepared. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would really be doomed."

"Senior Qionggao, save me!"
