CHAPTER 345: CHAPTER 318: THE IMMORTAL SEED!_2

"Tell me if there’s anything you need me to do; I won’t hesitate."

...

Outside Ten Thousand Caves Mountain.

Cao Wuji, who had his eyes closed in feigned sleep, and Dongfang Qing opened their eyes almost simultaneously. Their gazes lowered slightly, glancing toward the nearby Ten Thousand Caves Mountain.

So quiet?

They sensed that Ten Thousand Caves Mountain, previously filled with surging auras that caused landslides and earth to split, had suddenly become as still as a stagnant pond.

Both Primordial Spirit Bosses faintly sensed that something was amiss.

Despite the vast distance, the human and the demon exchanged a glance.

If only one of them had been present, they would have certainly investigated. After all, such a sudden silence was truly unusual.

But the current situation did not allow for it to be easily disturbed.

...

Darkness surged like furious ocean waves, one after another, violently battering the void. Its power seemed immense enough to devour all light and hope.

Yet, within this chaotic torrent, a peculiar sight quietly manifested: a golden barrier, shimmering with boundless, compassionate, and peaceful light, stood like a solitary reef in the dark night—tenacious and solemn.

Ancient Buddha Sect scriptures were engraved upon this barrier. Each character shone brilliantly, like dotted stars, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

They danced and flowed within the darkness, exuding a tranquil and profound power. Each stroke and line embodied boundless wisdom and compassion, as if they were the Buddha’s whispered gospel, countering the merciless dark tide.

Kongwen sat cross-legged on the ground, palms together, chanting scriptures. His once robust and towering figure had become much thinner. Strands of pure, flawless golden blood emanated from him, reinforcing the golden barrier.

The substantial loss of Arhat’s Golden Blood caused Kongwen’s aura to continuously weaken, yet his calm and resolute eyes grew even brighter and clearer.

And behind his mountain-like, steadfast figure,

Zhao Zaiyang, while spewing mouthfuls of blood, pressed both palms against Qi Xiu’s back, continuously channeling streams of the purest Natural True Source into Qi Xiu’s body.

"Qi, you don’t cultivate the Dao of Nature. Consuming a Longevity Seed will trigger a strong rejection from the forces of nature.

I am now transferring my True Source to you to help you pacify this rejection.

But you must remember, the Divine Marvel effect of the Longevity Seed only lasts for a quarter of an hour. Once the time is up, its medicinal efficacy will immediately dissipate.

Do you understand?"

Recklessly transferring his True Source made Zhao Zaiyang, who had already lost a Longevity Seed and thus a third of his lifespan, even weaker. His face was as pale as paper, and his speech carried a faint, breathy tone.

"Understood."

Tilting his head back, Qi Xiu swallowed the vibrantly green Longevity Seed, which overflowed with infinite Life Force. With a gulp, this super Treasure, personally cultivated by a Primordial Spirit Boss, settled in his stomach.

"URGH..."

With a muffled grunt, Qi Xiu suddenly clenched his fists.

The next instant, his entire being ignited like a star burning fiercely upon the mortal realm. Dazzling light erupted from every pore of his body, as if the flames of life blazed intensely beneath his skin. Each ray of light pulsed with vigorous vitality, hot and intense.

Under the illumination, his skin shimmered with a healthy luster, every inch of his muscles exuding boundless vitality.

Behind him, the Life Force was so immensely dense that it manifested countless extraordinary phenomena in an unimaginable way.

Magnificent clouds, rushing rivers, lush forests, soaring birds—these spectacular natural vistas intertwined in the void, forming a vivid, dynamic scroll.

"Senior Brother Zhou... remember what I told you..."

Qi Xiu forcefully suppressed the surging power within him, which felt as if it would tear him apart. He slowly turned his head to look at Zhou Wen beside him.

"I know, don’t worry," Zhou Wen nodded with conviction.

"Good..."

Exhaling a breath of Life Force capable of reviving the dead and growing flesh on bones, Qi Xiu slowly rose.

At this moment, this young Daoist, merely at the Blood-Stained Realm, suddenly emanated an incredibly extraordinary and vast aura.

His Taoist Robe fluttered, accompanied by the reverent hymns of the Great Dao, making him appear even more world-shakingly astonishing. It was as if he had become a true immortal in charge of the heavens, earth, and the ages, capable of causing skies to fall and lands to rend with a mere gesture!

"EH?"

The Spirit of Night Travel, standing at the center of the darkness of Eternal Night, showed a hint of surprise. She let out a soft "EH?" and unconsciously took a step forward.

It’s different? This power...

Sensing the extremely oppressive aura emanating from the young Daoist opposite her, the darkness surrounding the Spirit of Night Travel faintly roiled. Her expression grew somewhat intrigued.

Interesting. A mere Blood-Stained Realm cultivator dares to wield such power and hasn’t even been destroyed by the backlash from Heaven and Earth.

An appreciative look appeared in her eyes, yet the Spirit of Night Travel showed no hesitation in her actions. She struck out with her palm. The Great World of Eternal Night behind her trembled slightly. A boundless aura blotted out the sky and earth, and an immense crushing force pressed directly down on Qi Xiu.

Having finally descended upon this Home Realm, how could she allow a tiny ant to ruin her grand plans?

The dark tide, brewing with infinite power, surged forward, leveling everything. The entire world became utterly dim, as if all light had been siphoned away.

Even the barrier sustained by Kongwen’s own Arhat’s Golden Blood dimmed considerably.

And just as the dark tide gathered into an immense wave, about to annihilate these few defiant ants who were ignorant of their own limitations,

Qi Xiu calmly took a step forward, moving outside the barrier.

THUD!

As his foot landed, the entire world seemed to tremble.

That slender yet upright figure stood tall, his calm eyes shining with an unprecedented radiance.

Amidst the boundless gloom of heaven and earth,

this figure, though small, radiated an uncontainable brilliance.

To be able to reach this stage, the living beings of this realm are truly remarkable!

Seeing Qi Xiu step out of the golden barrier, yet remain completely unaffected by the Eternal Night, the Spirit of Night Travel gently clapped her hands, praising him generously.

However, praise was one thing.

The dark tides engulfing the world grew even more turbulent, threatening to overwhelm and bury this entire land!

In an instant, the heavens cried out and the earth trembled. The boundless power of Eternal Night permeated every corner.

And at this very moment, Qi Xiu moved.

He slowly lifted his right hand. In his palm, an ancient, imposing, and extremely profound Talisman Script shone brilliantly.

"By my command!"

"Let there be boundless light!"

In this absolute silence and stillness, an incredibly resolute light suddenly burst forth, like a meteor streaking across the night sky!

This light, as brilliant as a magnificent sun, instantly illuminated the surroundings, sweeping across the Eight Desolations with an irresistible force.

The edge of the light was sharp and firm, like the sharpest blade in the heavens, severing the shackles of darkness, forcing the shadows back inch by inch.

Its radiance was blazing and powerful, without a trace of hesitation or pity, mercilessly expelling the darkness from every corner, leaving the fears hidden in the shadows nowhere to hide.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Spirit of Night Travel’s Eternal Night was riddled with thousands of holes. The supremely dazzling light made a domineering entrance, directly seizing control.

Within the Buddha Light barrier, Kongwen and the other two were all astonished. They had never expected Qi Xiu to counter this Outer Realm Evil God with such a powerful and direct method.

Shaking the unconscious Li Nian beside him, Zhao Zaiyang muttered,

"Junior Sister, wake up! Quickly, come see an immortal!"

...

One command shattered the Spirit of Night Travel’s Eternal Night. The backlash from Heaven and Earth immediately surged forth. In the span of a breath, three thousand fissures, deep enough to reach his very origin, appeared on Qi Xiu’s body.

But the next second, the Divine Marvel of the Longevity Seed erupted.

This backlash, potent enough to kill him thousands of times over, was forcefully reversed and nullified. Qi Xiu’s body was restored to its original state.

The Longevity Seed, personally cultivated by the Primordial Spirit Boss Zhao Gengyun, had cost him countless efforts.

With Qi Xiu having ingested this Divine Object, it was as if Zhao Gengyun himself was aiding his recovery and healing his wounds.

Death?

As long as this Longevity Seed remained effective, even Zhao Gengyun himself might not be able to kill him!

Feeling his body instantly restored to its initial state, Qi Xiu’s brow relaxed slightly. Thankfully, events had unfolded as he had anticipated.

And now, knowing that the Longevity Seed within him could endlessly repair the backlash from Heaven and Earth,

the light in Qi Xiu’s eyes suddenly grew a hundred times sharper!

Next!

It is time for the counterattack!
