Immortality from Taming Elephant

Xu Guang looked at the distant apparition of the Saint with a face full of fear, unable to distinguish whether the figure was truly alive or dead.

The figure’s posture was too complete, its aura too astounding, resembling a true living Saint.

Upon careful observation, he noticed that the elder’s apparition wasn’t entirely solid; its edges were somewhat blurred, and like the surrounding palace and statue apparitions, it exhibited an unstable wave-like state, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But just then.

The Saint’s apparition suddenly opened its eyes!

Within those eyes were divine lights.

Instantly, Xu Guang’s entire body stiffened, his steps halted.

Could it really still be alive?

But upon looking again, the Saint’s apparition had closed its eyes once more.

After a long silence, Xu Guang felt the urge to retreat, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Just as he lifted his foot, the Saint’s apparition suddenly resurrected.

In those eyes, there was no distinction between whites and pupils, only two swirling nebulae, as if containing the birth and destruction of the universe.

Wherever that gaze fell, the space around Xu Guang emitted an unbearable creaking sound, the Five Emperors Law Body emerged to protect its master spontaneously, but under that gaze, the Five-Colored Divine Light oscillated violently like a candle flickering in the wind.

"Those who disturb this Saint’s slumber, die!"

An ancient, indifferent voice, seemingly transmitted from ages past, echoed directly in Xu Guang’s Divine Soul.

The next moment, the Saint’s apparition moved.

Still sitting cross-legged, it merely lifted its right hand, pointing its index finger in Xu Guang’s direction.

There was no brilliance, no explosion, nor even an energy fluctuation.

Yet Xu Guang felt that in this piece of heaven and earth, all rules were instantly stripped, solidified, and reorganized into an invisible, intangible yet omnipresent "prison," completely encompassing him and General Wei!

Holy Domain!!

A true Holy Domain!

The Saint speaks, the law follows; at this moment, with a gesture, the apparition seemed to redefine everything within the Holy Domain.

Xu Guang grunted, blood seeped simultaneously from his seven orifices. He felt his very existence being rejected and negated by this piece of heaven and earth, his vital force reversing, his Divine Soul trembling, the brilliance of the Five Emperors Law Body dimming visibly.

Xu Guang was horrified.

The prototype Holy Domain he simulated previously only shielded and interfered with rules.

Yet, with a casual gesture, this Saint’s apparition directly rewrote and defined rules! This was a fundamental gap, an insurmountable chasm between the mortal and the Saint!

Can’t resist directly!

A flash of grim determination crossed Xu Guang’s eyes, as the demonic thoughts in his sea of consciousness swayed frantically, with dark purple branches radiating unprecedented light.

He simultaneously suppressed the surging blood and Divine Soul with the Heart Sutra of the Formless Tribulation, forming an extremely peculiar seal with his hands in front of his chest — a vague insight from his discussions with Yan Zhen and countless life-and-death battles, never truly executed before.

"Five Wheels of Chaos, Chaos Returns to Void!"

The Five Emperors Law Body apparition, about to collapse behind him, suddenly imploded inwardly!

Not a simple fusion, but in an almost self-destructive manner, forcibly integrating five distinctly different and even conflicting laws’ intentions.

Buzz!

Centered on Xu Guang, within a radius of thirty feet, the space twisted violently, colors flowed chaotically, as if it had become a bizarre, boiling porridge.

All opposing rules clashed and annihilated, ultimately transforming into a brief and absolute — void.

Hissing sounds!

No earth-shattering collision, only a subtle noise like cold water droplets hitting hot oil.

The rules defined by the Saint’s apparition encountered the "rule vacuum" created by Xu Guang.

The invisible prison showed a momentary stagnation and disorder.

Now!

Xu Guang bit through the tip of his tongue, spraying a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the seal at his chest, unleashing all his power and madly retreating backward!

Boom!

The space where he stood shattered like a broken mirror.

Silently and soundlessly annihilated into a fist-sized black dot.

Xu Guang landed a hundred feet away, dropped to one knee, gasping for breath, his face as pale as paper, his aura withering to the extreme. That moment had nearly drained all his Life Force, Source Qi, and even part of his Divine Soul source, leaving the demonic thoughts coral significantly dimmed.

Was this the Saint’s apparition’s instinct?

But unexpectedly.

The Saint’s apparition slowly retracted its finger, the swirling nebulae in those chaotic eyes seemed to slow slightly, and its indifferent gaze fell upon Xu Guang, containing a certain scrutinizing intent.

As if it still had vitality.

Xu Guang was utterly shocked.

According to Chen Yue’s memories, this Saint before him was the Thousand Kills Saint Monarch, who committed an atrocious blood bath in the Southern Domain, having ascended nine thousand eight hundred years ago!

Could it be, he’s still alive?

Just how vigorous is a Saint’s Life Force?

"Your past is interesting, but the future, I can’t see."

Xu Guang abruptly raised his head, shock deepening in his eyes.

What does it mean... an interesting past, an unseen future?

Could the counterpart have directly seen his past through the previous probing?

What kind of means is this?

He forced his head up, speaking in a deep voice: "Junior Xu Guang, mistakenly entered the senior’s place of death, meant no offense. The survival attempt just now was out of desperation, I hope the senior will forgive."

The Saint’s apparition seemed to ponder, the grand palace and the surrounding statue apparitions slightly oscillating.

"This seat’s Dao was transformed here; barely lingering till now, didn’t expect to meet you, but since you’ve killed someone from Soul Ridge, there lies your chance to live."

Xu Guang was suddenly startled, could it be that this being had enmity with Soul Ridge?

Having killed Chen Yue, could it have become his chance to survive today?
