Chapter 1080 Battle Against the Immortal Golden Immortal
Zi Yuan Jin Xian raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. His fingertips clenched unconsciously—he clearly sensed that the position of the primordial mark in his soul had suddenly fixed, like a coordinate nailed to the chaos, showing no sign of moving. Almost instinctively, he formed a hand seal, stopping the silver-light immortal boat. The dazzling light of the star-like phoenix at the bow of the boat abruptly subsided, and its sculpted eyes seemed to be imbued with sentience, taking on a solemn expression as it warily surveyed the chaos ahead.
It was a relatively calm, chaotic area, with only a slow, gray-black current flowing around it. Unlike other places, it wasn't as turbulent as a beast. Even stardust fragments were scarce, and it was deliberately clean, as if it had been intentionally cleared away. At first glance, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but the more so, the more alarm bells rang in Zi Yuan Jin Xian's heart. Anyone who could cultivate to the Immortal Golden Immortal realm was a ruthless character who had endured countless tribulations and fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They wouldn't easily give up and flee unless they were truly at their wits' end. Behind this calm, there might very well be lurking danger.
"Something's not right! This thief's reaction is too abnormal!"
Zi Yuan Jin Xian let out a low shout, with a hint of tension that was barely perceptible, as if he had already sensed the aura of danger. The star runes around his body suddenly lit up, weaving a fine defensive net around the immortal ship.
On the deck, the eight Golden Immortals, including Xuanzhen Golden Immortal, had already sensed the abnormality. They all concealed their auras, like cheetahs poised to pounce. Their immortal pressure solidified, causing the deck of the immortal ship to tremble slightly.
The Yin-Yang Taiji diagram in Xuanzhen Golden Immortal's eyes spun rapidly, and the black and white energies almost solidified into a band of light, scanning every inch of the void in front of him like a searchlight, trying to find any hidden killing intent; the black flames in the palm of Burning Heaven Golden Immortal's hand pulsed more and more rapidly, the cold flames licking the void, the heat causing the surrounding chaotic air currents to distort and evaporate; the Emerald Azure Dragon lowered its body, its dragon scales standing on end like steel needles, its dragon eyes staring intently at that calm area, a low warning roar emanating from its throat, its dragon might spreading like a tide... The immortal power around the nine people was running at its limit, forming invisible barriers, protecting the Silver Light Immortal Boat in the center, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
......
After a short while, the chaos remained calm, yet the stillness was unsettling. Even the sound of flowing air could be clearly heard, as if time itself had slowed down. The primordial mark remained motionless, adding to the eeriness of the place.
"Fellow Daoist Ziyuan, what should we do next? Should we pursue or not?" Qingyun Golden Immortal finally spoke, breaking the silence. His voice was steady, but he couldn't hide a hint of hesitation. He gently stroked the scales of the jade dragon beside him, his gaze shifting back and forth between that area and Ziyuan Golden Immortal. His fingertips unconsciously tapped the deck, revealing his inner anxiety.
The gazes of the seven immortal golden immortals, including Xuanzhen Golden Immortal, all fell upon Ziyuan Golden Immortal, awaiting the decision of this leader. To pursue him risked falling into his trap and suffering eternal damnation; not to pursue him meant simply returning home, yet they were unwilling to abandon this million-year chase.
"This one……"
Zi Yuan Jin Xian frowned, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. He could sense that beneath that calm area lay an invisible net, waiting for them to stumble into it. But to retreat now would be too much to bear—who knew if this was just a ruse by the thief, a way to scare them?
Although they have the original imprint on them, allowing them to track the other party's whereabouts at any time and launch a second pursuit, what should they do if the other party uses the same trick again?
Moreover, the longer the time drags on, the more variables there will be. If that thief finds an opportunity to break through and successfully advance to the second-grade Golden Immortal, or attracts other immortal Golden Immortals, the consequences will be unimaginable.
......
In front of the Silver Light Immortal Ship, within that calm, chaotic area.
Su Mo's face was deathly pale, his clothes still stained with undried golden blood, which had congealed into dark red patches, making him look utterly wretched. He stood alone in the chaos, his breath as erratic as a candle in the wind, sometimes rapid like a galloping horse, sometimes weak like a wisp of smoke. Each breath caused his body to sway slightly, as if he would collapse at any moment, appearing severely injured but barely holding on. The primordial Dao aura around him had almost completely dissipated, leaving only a faint fluctuation, like a candle in the wind, seemingly about to vanish completely at any moment. Where was the majesty of an immortal golden immortal?
He slowly turned his head and glanced in the direction of the silver-light immortal boat. A sharp glint suddenly flashed in his previously dim eyes, like a sword being drawn from its sheath, before being concealed by his heavy weakness. He raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, "Those nine old geezers have stopped too. It seems they've sensed something's wrong. But realizing it now is a bit too late."
He stopped in his tracks, having already lured the Purple Yuan Golden Immortal and the others into a meticulously designed ambush. Not only this tranquil chaotic area, but even the place where the Silver Light Immortal Ship was currently located, had been covered by layers of immortal immortal arrays laid down by his Spirit Void Illusionary Body. The arrays were nested within each other, their rules intertwined, already forming a vast net, just waiting for his command to firmly trap the nine Golden Immortals, completely unafraid they would turn tail and run.
With a thought, he was about to order his illusory spirit body to take action and capture the nine immortals when he caught a glimpse of the stagnant silver immortal ship moving again. The star-phoenix statue at the bow of the ship regained its faint light, and the immortal ship, like a slowly moving silver mountain, carrying a heavy immortal pressure, was slowly approaching his direction.
Clearly, after much hesitation, the Purple Origin Golden Immortal was ultimately unwilling to give up and chose to continue the pursuit. However, this time, the Silver Light Immortal Boat was much slower, less than half the speed it had been before. The star runes around the boat were constantly flashing, indicating that it was prepared for defense at any time, like a cautious giant beast carefully probing the path ahead, afraid of stepping into a deadly trap.
"You've started chasing again?" A barely perceptible smile appeared on Su Mo's lips, so fleeting that it seemed like an illusion. "Then I'll wait a little longer."
After glancing deeply in the direction of the Silver Light Immortal Ship, Su Mo temporarily suppressed his urge to take action immediately.
Immediately afterwards, he deliberately staggered again, as if he had exhausted all his strength just to stand up, and almost fell into the chaos. He moved his feet deeper into the ambush circle with difficulty, each step accompanied by "heavy" panting, his chest heaving violently. At the same time, he released the aura of the primordial mark more obviously, like a bait coated with honey, exuding a "weak" sweetness, leading the silver behemoth step by step into the pre-dug trap.
......
Spring goes and autumn comes, time flows quietly in the chaos, and in the blink of an eye another 60 years have passed.
At this moment, the Silver Light Immortal Ship was less than ten million cosmic years away from where Su Mo was. For an Immortal Golden Immortal, this distance was only an instant's travel, practically right before their eyes. The aura of that primordial mark became increasingly clear in their divine souls, and they could even "see" Su Mo's swaying figure, his clothes tattered, his breath weak, as if they could capture him with a single hand. Even the "pain" and "despair" on his face were faintly visible.
On the deck of the Silver Light Immortal Ship, the nine Golden Immortals, including Zi Yuan Golden Immortal, showed no sign of relaxation upon seeing this. Instead, they stood as solemn as iron, fully on guard. Zi Yuan Golden Immortal stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's, fixed on the weak figure ahead, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the star runes on his sleeves; Xuan Zhen Golden Immortal's Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram spun more and more rapidly in his eyes, black and white energies condensing into a tangible shield around him; Burning Heaven Golden Immortal's black flames in his palms were almost bursting forth, the heat causing the runes on the deck to scorch... The nine of them connected their auras, forming an unbreakable barrier, their eyes filled with a sense of formidable danger.
The closer they got to that mysterious immortality, the stronger the unease in their hearts became, like a fine needle piercing their minds repeatedly. In the darkness, it seemed as if an invisible giant net was tightening, or as if thunder was gathering behind the clouds, causing them to slow their breathing and their heartbeats to become heavy.
at this time......
"Om..."
One after another, the profound sounds of the Great Dao rolled in from the depths of chaos surrounding the silver-light immortal ship, like a sleeping ancient beast awakening, or like thunderclaps from the heavens, shaking the entire immortal ship violently. The runes on the deck flickered wildly and emitted a hum that could not bear the weight.
"The Twelve Yuan Chen Void-Sealing Formation, activate!"
"Space-Time Turbulence Imprisoning Heaven Array, activate!"
"The Reincarnation Tribulation Trapping Immortal Formation, activate!"
"Time-Space Annihilation Shadow Array, command!"
……
Countless deep shouts intertwined, as if a thousand armies were hidden within the chaos, their power shaking the heavens and earth, even causing spacetime to tremble. In an instant, hundreds and thousands of array patterns lit up from the void, spreading wildly like a spiderweb, dyeing the entire chaos with dazzling colors—golden demon-suppressing patterns, purple annihilation patterns, cyan dragon-trapping patterns… These immortal arrays were interconnected, the array patterns weaving into an impenetrable net, the rules colliding to create sparks of destruction, instantly sealing off billions of eons of spacetime around the silver-light immortal ship!
The void transformed into a bronze cage, inscribed with runes that suppressed immortality, shimmering with an ancient luster; immortal energy condensed into shackles of black iron, binding the restrictions that eroded the foundation of one's Dao, radiating a chilling aura; even time seemed frozen, its flow slowed to an unbearable degree, causing the nine Golden Immortals to move a beat slower. The surrounding chaotic energy became as viscous as mud, making escape impossible, not even a trace of one's aura could be leaked. Then, streams of immortal power, condensed to their ultimate limits, surged forth from all directions like a tsunami, crushing towards the silver-light immortal ship with overwhelming force. Wherever it passed, chaos collapsed, rules shattered, leaving behind traces of nothingness!
“Click… Click…”
In the blink of an eye, the dazzling starlight defense surrounding the Silver Light Immortal Ship dimmed at a visible speed, like a lamp ravaged by a storm. Countless star runes were annihilated and shattered in the impact, emitting mournful cries as if expressing their resentment. At the same time, clear sounds of "shattering glass" rang out. The Silver Light Immortal Ship's supposedly sturdy defensive array was cracking and crumbling inch by inch under the combined impact of hundreds and thousands of immortal arrays. The fragments scattered like meteors, falling into the chaos, swallowed by the array patterns without even causing a ripple!
"Oh no...it really is a trap!"
