Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

He truly achieved this step...

Because of the additional white mist within his body.

And the source of this white mist originated from within the Deceit Realm, on the Bone Transformation Mountain!

That person there used a cup of wine to make a trade with him, asking him to help kill all the returning Deceased Spirits...

At that time, that person also said that if he wanted to, he could interfere with worldly matters at any moment.

At this moment, a myriad of thoughts converged into a single point in Li An’s mind. He had already forgotten the appearance and voice of the person in the Deceit Realm, but he was almost certain of one thing:

The person on the Bone Transformation Mountain who made a deal with him was probably the one mentioned by Xu Jing and others...

The Longevity Seeker!

Unique across the ages, sacrificing worlds, leaving behind dead stars.

He felt an incomparable shock in his heart.

At the same time, he harbored a deep fear...

Because, according to Xu Jing and others, that person had drained the power of the Era of Eternal Life, but the essence of years left behind must have been...

Millions of years?

These Deceased Spirits had once contended with that Longevity Seeker and were killed by him. Logically, when the Longevity Seeker sacrificed worlds and drained the power of years, Xu Jing and others should have long been dead and would naturally not know the aftermath. But when the years collapsed and cause and effect faded, everything existing and departed in the world reemerged. Therefore, Xu Jing and others also experienced it firsthand.

Hence, what they said should not be false.

But the power of years Li An obtained in the secret realm of Evergreen Star...

Was only a million years!

Meaning, the majority of the power of years...

Had already been taken by others?!

A thought he had contemplated numerous times now slowly found confirmation.

The mastermind behind the Saint Realm was about to reveal themselves!

Alright, alright... is this how you want to play!

Li An felt a moment of bitterness in his heart, along with a flash of unwillingness and resentment. All the doubts in his mind were answered.

These shocking realizations surfaced one by one, while more questions involuntarily emerged:

According to the Deceased Spirits, why did the Longevity Seeker originally dormant, who buried his beloved’s coffin at the end of time, awaken again?

What is his relationship with the various masterminds?

...

Li An couldn’t find the answers.

And there was no time to ponder them now!

He forcibly suppressed all distracting thoughts, his eyes only radiating a killing intent, an astounding killing intent.

At this moment, the Fox Princess in his hand became the best object for him to vent on.

He slashed down with the Celestial Saber!

"Ah—"

The Fox Princess’s eyes were filled with terror, she seemed to recall the time of death in her previous life, could she really die again in this second life?

Pfft!

Her head was directly chopped off, all vitality was completely extinguished by Li An in that instant.

Her second life...

Was also annihilated!

"Is fate repeating itself?"

"That person’s similar trajectory, still wanting to treat us as stepping stones?!"

"Why... why!!"

Seeing the Fox Princess perish, the other Deceased Spirits all felt a deep sense of sorrow, along with a vast anger, their eyes were filled with irreconcilable blood vendetta, it was a madness to resist fate once again.

"Kill!"

The blue-clothed youth Xu Jing was the first to rush forward, saying, "Annihilate him, there will be no second Longevity Seeker in this world!"

At this moment, any one-on-one battles, any trials became illusory, this was a struggle between life and death, a battle bound by fate, where only ruthless tactics prevailed, a fight to the death.

Xu Jing’s cultivation was incredibly strong, upon launching his first attack it was with Golden Immortal-level pressure, his body seemed to have transformed into flawless Divine Gold, punching out with unstoppable power, like trying to crush a star!

Another Golden Immortal, named Ao Jian, displayed thousands of sword shadows, each capable of slaying a Golden Immortal, in that lifetime revered as a naturally born Sword Immortal, who could potentially achieve Sword Immortal Great Saint level cultivation, yet encountered the Longevity Seeker and ultimately was killed; his demonstrated divine might now was truly unassailable.

Even Zhao Changkong, Dragon City, and others who had previously been defeated by Ye Cauldron and others joined the battlefield. They were all perfection-grade Celestial Immortals, madly unleashing various perfection-grade Celestial Immortal Techniques.

"Kill!"

"Break through!"

Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, and others did not stand idle, unable to approach the core Golden Immortal-level battlefield, they could only seek out battles among Celestial Immortal and Profound Immortal-level Deceased Spirits.

This was a chaotic war.

And the one determining victory or defeat... was naturally the battle between Li An and Xu Jing and others.

Cultivation surged, Dharma bodies roared.

Li An used the One Qi Transforms the Three Pristine Ones technique, evolving Golden Immortal-level Dharma bodies to the extreme, also relying on the power of the Celestial Saber of Time, forcefully with Celestial Immortal-level cultivation, fought the top experts of the Era of Eternal Life, battling fiercely!

"Five Thunder Execution, break!"

Li An roared, unleashing the Five Thunder Execution technique, lightning swept across, Golden Immortals resonated, simultaneously he spewed out the light of years, manifesting a heavenly cascade above, indeed a life-threatening move, the Celestial Corpse Small Sword was laid horizontally, madly slashing out.

Dragon City was cleaved with half of his body removed by one sword, Zhao Changkong’s chest shattered by one punch!

Even though not dead, they were gravely injured.

"I don’t believe in fate, I refuse to believe there’s an unstoppable trajectory in this world... this lifetime is meant for us to defy destiny!"

Xu Jing spoke in a deep voice, his body suddenly expanded, the Heaven and Earth divine power dramatically evolved, simultaneously a layer of golden light shone from head to toe, his body seemed to have been turned into pure gold.

Heaven and Earth stacked with a sixteen-foot golden body!

This was two top-tier Golden Immortal-level Immortal Techniques.

"Very strong... now, it’s my turn!"

Li An’s eyes flashed, realizing something, no longer waiting, also using Golden Immortal Dharma bodies to evolve Immortal Techniques, Heaven and Earth rapidly growing, simultaneously the sixteen-foot golden body emerged.

"What fear then! Even with identical Immortal Techniques, I possess an invincible heart!"

Xu Jing shouted, his body and Li An’s Dharma body battled fiercely, a punch here a palm there, moving between clashes creating thunderstorms that erupted with Celestial Fire, truly unrivaled.

"Annihilate!"

Li An also felt a sense of struggle, his Life Seed was operating at its peak, and opened the entire power of a million years, with identical Immortal Techniques, Xu Jing was ultimately missing the auxiliary power of years’ external help, Dharma body cracked, golden body broken, his entire being slammed heavily onto the mountain path leading to the altar of life.

His face bore a profound sense of defeat as he said, "I am still not your match... but this is the power of Immortal Skill, not my fault."

He sighed deeply.

Li An strode forward, and at that moment, Ao Jian, who was as strong as Xu Jing, approached Li An.

Li An stood mighty, without fear, struck, but Ao Jian’s eyes suddenly revealed a trace of sinister Demonic Qi:

"Little trickster... you are mine!"

From Ao Jian’s body, an aged hand abruptly reached out towards Li An!

The Heaven-Devouring Great Demon Li An had been waiting for...

Finally arrived!

...

Good night.
