Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Chapter 1124 The Immortal True Spirit Soars

Void Star Abyss, Chaotic Void.

"Whoosh..."

A streak of azure light, like an arrow released from a bow, darted through the raging chaotic currents with effortless grace, leaving only a fleeting afterimage, seemingly capable of cleaving the boundaries of time. It was a dragon-shaped immortal vessel, approximately ten thousand feet long, its entire body covered in fine azure dragon scales, each scale shimmering with a warm luster, as if meticulously carved from millennia-old spiritual jade, brimming with vibrant life. Its prow was raised high, its dragon horns sharp and jagged like peerless blades, radiating a sharpness capable of piercing the heavens; its whiskers flowed like rosy clouds, swaying gently in the wind with a touch of agility. The entire immortal vessel resembled an awakened primordial azure dragon, proudly navigating the chaos, displaying its majestic power.

A faint blue light barrier swirled around, isolating all the chaotic turbulence, powerful enough to tear apart a ninth-grade True Immortal's body, a million feet away. Those turbulent currents, like raging beasts, relentlessly pounded against the barrier with the force to tear apart the void, but could only stir up tiny ripples, unable to even shake the barrier in the slightest, let alone damage the immortal ship itself.

It was Su Mo's ride—the Azure Dragon Immortal Boat.

After suppressing hundreds of Immortal Golden Immortals, he had no shortage of high-grade Immortal Immortal Ships. He even possessed two Rank 6 Immortal Immortal Ships, whose performance far surpassed that of the Azure Dragon Immortal Ship by thousands or even tens of thousands of times. However, Su Mo showed no intention of changing his vehicle. As a "newcomer" who had only attained Immortality for less than a Chaos Era, riding the Rank 1 Immortal Immortal Ship, the Azure Dragon Immortal Ship, was perfectly suitable. It was neither ostentatious nor did it attract attention. While those high-grade immortal ships were excellent, they were far too conspicuous, like bright lights in the dark, easily attracting covetousness, which completely contradicted his style of keeping a low profile.

Anyway, there's still plenty of time before the "hundred chaotic eras" deadline, so there's absolutely no need to rush.

Who knows, we might even make another "profit" along the way.

His journey to the Three Suns Continent truly brought him great success. From barely possessing the strength to rival a fifth-grade Golden Immortal, to now having combat power comparable to an eighth-grade Golden Immortal, and even being considered one of the best among eighth-grade Golden Immortals, this leap still feels unreal to Su Mo himself when he recalls it.

For any other Rank 8 Golden Immortal, breaking through three major realms from Rank 5 to Rank 8 would require thousands upon thousands of cosmic eras of arduous cultivation and accumulation—it would be unthinkable. But how much time did Su Mo take? Less than two million years at most. The difference is simply incomparable.

......

Azure Dragon Immortal Boat, Azure Dragon Immortal Palace.

The hall was shrouded in mist and filled with spiritual energy. Beneath Su Mo, the original Yin-Yang Dao Platform had vanished, replaced by a five-colored lotus platform. The platform was composed of layers upon layers of petals in five colors: blue, red, yellow, white, and black. Each petal was crystal clear, as if carved from five innate precious jades, flowing with a natural Daoist aura. Rays of five-colored divine light emanated from the lotus platform, flowing around Su Mo like water, making him appear like an ancient deity who governed the five elements of the celestial realm, sacred and majestic.

This is the Five Directions Purifying Lotus, a fifth-grade immortal artifact, one of the most treasured possessions of Ancestor Jinyan. It can not only stabilize one's Dao heart and purify evil spirits, but also greatly amplify the power of Five Elements-based spells and divine abilities. After Ancestor Jinyan was captured and suppressed by Su Mo, this Five Directions Purifying Lotus naturally became Su Mo's possession.

Suddenly, Su Mo slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, a glint of light flashing in them before a faint disappointment appeared. Time flies; 130,000 years had passed since he left the Three Yang Immortal Tomb. In these 130,000 years, he had suppressed and refined all five peak-level Golden Immortals of the Fifth Rank, including the Profound Yin Ancestor and the Frost Fairy; even among the fifteen Fifth Rank Golden Immortals he later captured, two early-stage Fifth Rank Golden Immortals had their immortal origins completely obliterated and their immortal true spirits plundered.

This allowed the number of Immortal True Spirits in his hands to directly break through the ten million mark, approaching thirteen million units. However, to his regret, the words "can be infused" still did not appear after the Primordial Immortal Scripture, as if it was still waiting for a larger accumulation.

Immediately afterwards, Su Mo gently twirled his fingertip on the crimson petals of the Five Directions Pure World Lotus, and five-colored divine light rippled outwards. A wisp of consciousness sank into his natal immortal realm like a stream of light.

The scene before them changed abruptly; it was no longer the misty spiritual energy of the Azure Dragon Immortal Palace, but a vast and boundless chaotic space. Countless gray-black runes flowed around, densely packed, enveloping the entire space, forming an impenetrable cage.

Thousands of illusory spirits sat around the cage, their expressions solemn, their hands forming hand seals. Streams of primordial immortal power, like primordial dragons, flowed continuously into the chaotic prison, constantly eroding the immortal origins of the remaining thirteen fifth-grade golden immortals and six sixth-grade golden immortals.

"It's almost over. In a maximum of another 100,000 years, these remaining thirteen fifth-grade Golden Immortals will be completely obliterated by the Spirit Illusion Body." Su Mo murmured, his gaze sweeping over the struggling figures in the cage. "I wonder if we can gather enough Immortal True Spirits to help me take the final step and advance to the fourth-grade Golden Immortal."

......

Time passed year after year in Su Mo's anticipation. The sounds of immortal energies colliding and immortal rules shattering within the Chaos Cage gradually thinned out, like candles flickering in the wind, about to be extinguished. Those Golden Immortals who once dominated their regions had long since lost the strength to struggle, their eyes filled only with numbness and despair. Only the humming of the Spiritual Illusionary Body circulating Primordial Immortal Energy never ceased, like an unchanging Daoist chant, echoing in the chaotic space. In the blink of an eye, ninety-eight thousand six hundred years had passed.

"Puff..."

A soft sound echoed in the chaotic space. Within the chaotic cage, the remnant soul of the last perfect fifth-grade Golden Immortal rapidly disintegrated. The chaotic light chains around him tightened abruptly, completely extracting the last bit of his immortal essence. Under the burning of the gray-black runes, the immortal soul let out a final wail before vanishing completely without leaving a trace.

Inside the cage, only six sixth-rank Golden Immortals, including Ancestor Jin Yan and Fairy Qing Lan, were still struggling to hold on. Their auras were many times weaker than when they were at their peak. Their immortal bodies had long since vanished, and their remaining souls were covered with fine cracks, like glass about to shatter. Every moment, pure immortal essence was being extracted and obliterated.

"Ah! What a pity!"

Su Mo narrowed his eyes, looked at the familiar light screen in front of him, and sighed. Thirteen fifth-grade golden immortals were destroyed, and the immortal true spirit almost doubled, approaching twenty-five million units. However, to his disappointment, the words "can be infused" still did not appear after the Hongmeng Immortal Scripture.

"The fourth-grade Golden Immortal is indeed the first major threshold of the Golden Immortal realm. Nearly 25 million units of Immortal True Spirits have not been able to break through."

It should be noted that the total amount of immortal true spirit he has consumed since attaining immortality is less than five million units.

"Fortunately, I still have six Golden Immortals of the sixth rank."

......

Chaos knows no years, and thirteen million years have quietly passed. The trajectory traced by the Azure Dragon Immortal Ship in the chaotic void has long since become immeasurable, while within the chaotic prison of the natal immortal domain, the tug-of-war between obliteration and resistance has finally reached its first end.

The Azure Mist Immortal Realm was once a renowned pure land in the southern part of Star Abyss. This immortal realm was created by the Azure Mist Fairy based on her own immortal Dao. Within the realm, clouds and mist swirl, and immortal mountains stand tall. Billions of immortal people once lived and thrived here, worshipping the Azure Mist Fairy as their supreme ruler.

However, when this Lord of the Immortal Realm suddenly disappeared without a trace 13.23 million years ago, the entire Azure Mist Immortal Realm lost its core of law support, as if its backbone had been removed. From then on, it was shrouded in a terrifying oppression, and countless cultivators lived in constant fear.

On this day, "Boom..."

A deafening roar, shaking the very core of the Immortal Realm, resounded like the creation of the world. The entire Azure Mist Immortal Realm trembled violently, as if an ancient behemoth had awakened at the depths of the realm, threatening to overturn it completely. Soon, the entire Immortal Realm was stained crimson, a torrential downpour of blood rain, carrying a dense aura of death, falling upon the vast cosmic seas and eroding the continents. Countless beings howled and perished in the blood rain. The spatial barriers at the Immortal Realm's borders shattered and collapsed at a visible speed, revealing raging chaotic currents outside, like a monstrous beast ready to devour its prey. Countless beings cried out in despair at the edge of the collapse, only to be instantly swept into the chaos, their screams fading before they could even utter a sound, reduced to ashes and utterly annihilated.

"Om..."

The light screen in front of Su Mo suddenly burst into dazzling light, and the numbers after the Immortal True Spirit jumped wildly, soaring like a waterfall, and finally broke through a small target, settling at 132,687,628 units. The last digit of the number was still trembling slightly, as if it had not yet ended.

Following the Primordial Immortal Scripture, the long-absent words "can be infused" finally slowly appeared, radiating dazzling golden light.
