Chapter 1145 Alarming a Quasi-Immortal King
Cangxuan Star Abyss is one of the 128 Star Abysses in the Yuanjin Immortal Kingdom. Among the many Star Abysses in the Yuanjin Immortal Kingdom, its reputation is renowned and it is enough to rank among the top 30. It is like a bright yet mysterious pearl in the universe. Since its birth, it has gone through nearly 16 million cosmic eras. Its foundation and strength are even greater than that of Zixuan Star Abyss.
This Star Abyss is ruled by six dominant forces, each of which is a ninth-rank immortal force with a ninth-rank Golden Immortal in charge.
The Azure Spirit Immortal Palace is one of these six overlords, and it can even be firmly ranked among the top three among the six. Its power is deeply rooted, occupying the three thousand most prosperous immortal domains in the Star Abyss, with more than a thousand Golden Immortals under its command and thousands of immortal artifacts. Its foundation is even stronger than that of the Purple Void Heavenly Palace, which has already become defunct.
Not only was the ancestor Cangling Ancestor a ninth-rank Golden Immortal, but there was also the Xuan Yue Ancestor who successfully broke through the shackles millions of cosmic eras ago and stepped into the ninth-rank Immortal realm in one fell swoop.
Deep within the Cangling Immortal Palace, the Cangling Immortal Hall, like a jewel in a fairyland, is shrouded in a hazy, five-colored glow, radiating a mysterious and captivating brilliance. Constructed of five-colored spiritual jade, the hall is warm and delicate, emitting a soft light, as if containing the five purest forces from the Star Abyss, like five dazzling stars reflecting each other. Lifelike carvings of the Five Elements Divine Dragons entwine the beams and pillars; the dragons are powerful and their scales are clearly visible, seemingly about to burst forth from the walls. The scales shimmer with the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, like jewels inlaid on the dragons, shining brightly. From time to time, subtle Daoist rhythms emanate from within, like wisps of mysterious celestial music, echoing within the hall, nourishing the entire immortal palace, filling it with a sacred and profound aura, as if one were in the purest realm of the Dao in the world.
Ancestor Cangling sat cross-legged on a five-colored cloud bed in the center of the main hall. This cloud bed was formed from the condensation of the five elements' spiritual essence, and was incredibly magical. At times, it transformed into a raging sea of fire, with blazing flames and rolling heat waves; at other times, it condensed into surging blue waves, with rippling water and a chilling aura. The five elemental forces flowed endlessly on the surface of the bed, yet always maintained a delicate balance, just like an exquisite cosmic painting.
Ancestor Cangling wore a five-element robe, embroidered with the stars, mountains, and plants of the heavens. The robe rose and fell gently with his breath, like stars twinkling and mountains surging. The five-colored light surrounding him was soft and restrained, and his aura was as ethereal as the mist flowing in the mountains, exuding a sense of returning to simplicity and authenticity. He seemed to be one with heaven and earth, displaying an extraordinary and refined demeanor.
If an ordinary immortal were to see him, they would only perceive him as an elderly man of decent cultivation, with a kind face and a peaceful aura. They would never imagine that the person before them was actually the Cangling Ancestor, who had ruled the Cangling Immortal Palace for countless cosmic eras and was ranked among the Ten Golden Immortals of the Cangxuan Star Abyss.
His eyes were slightly closed, as if he were resting or studying the Great Dao. The entire hall was silent, except for the subtle sounds of the Five Elements flowing together with the steady breathing of Ancestor Cangling, forming a mysterious symphony of the Great Dao.
Suddenly, a beam of celestial light flew in from outside the hall, transforming into a jade slip that hovered in front of Ancestor Cangling. The jade slip was flashing with urgent spiritual light, clearly indicating that there was something important to report.
Ancestor Cangling's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he did not open his eyes. He simply extended two fingers and gently pinched the jade slip in his palm. The moment his divine sense probed into it, his originally calm brows furrowed slightly, and the five-colored light surrounding his body rippled slightly.
The next second...
Ancestor Cangling slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, which were initially calm and still, like a tranquil lake. In an instant, they burst forth with terrifying light, like two stars suspended in the heavens, or like two chaotic beasts that had slumbered for billions of years suddenly awakening, with a terrifying power surging deep within his eyes that was enough to tear apart the immortal realm.
"boom......"
A terrifying aura that would make even a ninth-grade Golden Immortal tremble suddenly rose from his body, like a long-dormant volcano suddenly erupting, with scorching magma and powerful air currents bursting out instantly.
The five-colored divine light swept across the entire Cangling Immortal Palace like a tsunami, its immense power seemingly capable of devouring everything. The floor tiles, paved with five-colored spirit jade, groaned under the weight; the five elemental dragon carvings entwined on the beams and pillars seemed to come alive, their eyes gleaming with terror; even the cloud bed formed from the five elemental essences trembled violently, the five elemental forces rapidly becoming chaotic, fire and azure waves colliding and crackling. The entire Cangling Immortal Palace trembled slightly under this oppressive force, the five-colored light on the ceiling twisting into eerie arcs, as if it might collapse at any moment.
"Ancestor Wanxiang, this is a third-tier Quasi-Immortal King..." Ancestor Cangling's voice carried an barely suppressed excitement, like a traveler who had spent countless years finally finding the key to success, echoing throughout the hall, "My opportunity to break through has arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the five-colored immortal light around him suddenly surged, like a swirling five-colored vortex, completely enveloping his figure. The moment the light dissipated, Ancestor Cangling had vanished from the five-colored cloud bed, leaving only a lingering trace of the Five Elements Daoist aura, intertwining with the chaotic airflow within the hall.
Not long after, deep within the Cangling Immortal Palace, another terrifying pressure, far exceeding that of Ancestor Xuanyuan, a perfect eighth-grade Golden Immortal, rose up, as if a god who had slumbered for countless ages had awakened from his slumber.
......
Linglan Star Abyss is one of the 128 Star Abysses in the Yuanjin Immortal Kingdom, ranking even above Cangling Star Abyss, and has been passed down for nearly 20 million cosmic eras.
The ten strongest forces are all ninth-grade immortal forces, and there are even rumors that there are quasi-immortal kings who surpass the ninth-grade golden immortals in the shadows of the Linglan Star Abyss.
Linglan Star Abyss, Death Abyss.
This place is one of the ten forbidden areas of the Star Abyss, shrouded year-round in a layer of viscous, ink-like death energy, like a perpetually inescapable dark fog, never seeing the sun. The void within the abyss is an eerie dark purple, and the earth is composed of a mixture of solidified corpse oil and bone ash, making a "sizzling" sound when stepped on. If an ordinary first or second-grade Immortal Golden Immortal were to inadvertently step into this place, within a year, their immortal body would be hollowed out by the death energy, their immortal soul would be ground to dust, and they would ultimately suffer the dissipation of their true spirit, never to be reborn.
Deep within the Abyss of the Dead, a palace constructed from countless corpses stands amidst the thick, inky aura of death, resembling a sinister fortress of hell. These corpses vary in size; some are covered in scales, others have wings, clearly belonging to powerful beings of different races. Among them are even the remains of a Ninth-Rank Golden Immortal—polished smooth as jade, they are pieced together to form the palace's beams and walls, skulls embedded in the eaves, their eye sockets gleaming with a faint, eerie light. Nine bone spears, engraved with blood-red patterns, are embedded in the roof, their tips dripping with dark green venom, each drop containing a potent poison capable of corroding even Immortal King artifacts, causing bubbles to form in the surrounding void.
Deep within the Bone Hall, a withered figure, seated cross-legged, floated silently in mid-air, like a dried corpse forgotten by time. He wore a tattered black robe, riddled with holes, as if weathered by countless storms. His exposed skin was as dry as old tree bark, clinging tightly to his bones, as if a single touch would shatter it, revealing his age and fragility. His eye sockets were sunken, within which danced two eerie green flames, manifestations of his celestial soul essence, flickering with a chilling aura, like flames from hell, capable of devouring all life. The deathly aura surrounding him had solidified, flowing slowly like water, slowing the passage of time wherever it went, as if frozen in a moment.
On this day, a dark purple stream of light pierced through the layers of deathly aura like a sharp sword, ignoring the barrier of corpses outside the Bone Hall, and landed precisely in front of the black-robed man. Then, the stream of light dissipated, revealing a jade slip engraved with skulls.
The ghostly flames in his eyes flickered slightly, as if a ripple had appeared. Then, he slowly raised his withered finger, and with a gentle tap, the jade slip exploded, transforming into a flood of information that surged into his sea of consciousness.
"Has the legacy of the Old Man of Ten Thousand Forms... been born?"
A hoarse voice squeezed out from his throat, with a harsh, metallic quality, echoing in the empty bone hall and stirring up ripples of deathly energy.
Immediately afterwards, the death aura around him surged violently, like boiling water, and a pressure several times more terrifying than that of the ninth-grade perfect golden immortal, the Purple Void Ancestor, suddenly rose from his body—the corpses and pillars in the bone hall groaned, the blood patterns on the nine bone spears lit up, the speed at which the dark green venom dripped suddenly increased, and even the surrounding corroded void began to tremble violently.
"It is worthwhile for this old man to leave seclusion and make a trip. The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade. Perhaps the opportunity for me to break through to the second-level quasi-immortal king lies in this inheritance."
next moment......
The deathly aura surrounding him suddenly contracted, then erupted violently, condensing into a pair of enormous bone wings. The wings unfurled, blotting out the sky; each bone was as black as millennia-old black iron, covered in barbs that gleamed with an eerie light. With a gentle flap of the bone wings, a death storm swept through the entire bone palace, causing the corpses within to kneel as if paying homage to their king.
"Shh!"
The bone wings flapped again, tearing through the void before him and revealing a dark rift leading to the outside world. Then, the black-robed figure transformed into a stream of eerie green light and disappeared into the rift, which immediately closed as if it had never existed.
Only the Bone Palace remained, standing silently amidst the deathly aura. The nine bone spears still dripped venom, but the venom seemed to contain a restless eagerness for blood.
......
The Sea of Yuanxu.
The Crimson Phoenix Immortal Boat maintained its speed as a second-grade Golden Immortal, traversing the chaotic air currents.
On this day, the scenery in front of the Crimson Phoenix Immortal Ship changed. It was no longer the chaotic color as before, but a vast purple ocean, deep and mysterious, as if it wanted to dye the entire chaos purple.
"The Desolate Star Abyss, we've finally arrived!"
