Eternal Life by Daily Divination

The night was deep.

A bloody glow stained the horizon, as if a blood moon loomed over the land.

Li Chang’an had arrived at the outskirts of the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

His expression was solemn as his gaze swept across the land below.

’This battle was truly brutal.’

The ground was littered with the severed limbs and mangled corpses of Human Race Cultivators. Scarlet blood pooled on the earth, forming lakes of gore that exuded a nauseating, metallic stench.

The air was thick with the aura of death and slaughter, like a Purgatory on earth.

Demon Beast carcasses were almost nowhere to be seen. They had either been devoured by other Demon Beasts or collected by Human Race Cultivators in exchange for contribution points.

In the distance, many Human Race Cultivators could still be seen entering the Black Dragon Mountain Range to hunt down Demon Beasts.

’It’s just as Dahuang said. They’ve all been driven into a killing frenzy.’

With a flicker of his form, Li Chang’an also entered the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

Instantly, the overpowering stench of blood assaulted his senses.

He frowned. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but corpses and blood.

Every inch of soil was stained red with the blood of Cultivators and Demon Beasts, and the scars of battle were everywhere.

’Cyan Cloud Sect disciples, Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples, Flame Sect disciples...’

With a casual sweep of his gaze, Li Chang’an saw the corpses of many disciples from the Three Great Sects.

Even these elite disciples from the Major Sects had suffered innumerable casualties.

To say nothing of the Loose Cultivators.

The brutal slaughter was still ongoing; the shouts of battle could be heard from the surrounding forests.

"Dahuang, lead the way!"

Li Chang’an commanded.

Dahuang immediately activated its tracking talent, leading Li Chang’an on a swift journey through the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

The chase lasted for two full days!

The deeper he went, the more fighting and bloodshed Li Chang’an encountered.

It wasn’t just clashes between the Human Race and the Demon Race; Demon Beasts also fought and killed each other over flesh and blood.

Human Race Cultivators, too, were killing each other over Spirit Medicines, Demon Beast carcasses, and other resources in the mountains.

Furthermore, a large number of Tribulation Cultivators were mixed in among them.

The entire Black Dragon Mountain Range seemed to have descended into endless bloodshed and violence.

It was ceaseless!

Finally, on the morning of the third day, Dahuang caught up to Cao Shaolong’s group!

In a mountain hollow not far ahead, an extremely fierce battle was raging.

BOOM!

Even before Li Chang’an drew close, he heard an earth-shattering roar.

He approached stealthily and took a closer look.

The two sides in combat were none other than Cao Shaolong’s group and that Tier Two Thorny Earth Dragon!

’That Thorny Earth Dragon is still alive? It’s tougher to kill than I thought.’

Li Chang’an was inwardly surprised.

Cao Shaolong’s group, a full five Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, were fighting a single Tier Two Middle Stage Demon Beast, the Thorny Earth Dragon.

Counting the time, they had been hunting it for nearly four days and still hadn’t managed to take it down.

ROAR—!

The Thorny Earth Dragon roared, its body covered in blood, but its aura was incredibly savage, showing no signs of being seriously injured.

With a violent shudder, the thorns on its back suddenly erupted, shooting through the air like a volley of long spears toward Cao Shaolong and the others.

The expressions of Cao Shaolong’s group of five changed slightly. They scrambled to dodge, their movements somewhat disheveled.

"Damned beast!"

Cao Shaolong’s eyes were icy as he barked out a cold command.

"Junior brothers, stop holding back! This beast has the bloodline of the Dragon Race. It’s stronger than an ordinary Tier Two Middle Stage Demon Beast!"

"Senior Brother is right! Everyone, let’s stop holding back and go all out!"

"If we drag this on any longer, I’m afraid the beast will escape into the deeper regions..."

The others shared his concern.

Even more terrifying Demon Beasts existed in the depths of the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

Although they coveted the contribution points, they hadn’t been blinded by greed and planned to withdraw at the right moment.

The contribution points from this Tier Two Earth Dragon would be enough for each of them to exchange for a decent Spiritual Artifact.

Next, a golden light tore through the sky.

Cao Shaolong, having gathered his power for some time, unleashed a mighty blow that slammed into the Thorny Earth Dragon, cracking its back armor and causing it to let out a miserable howl.

AWOO...

The Earth Dragon’s aura diminished sharply. Blood streamed from its wound as it turned to flee in a frenzy.

Seeing this, the eyes of the other men lit up.

"A great hit, Senior Brother Cao!"

"Haha, Senior Brother Cao, we owe this victory to you!"

"Indeed, thanks to Senior Brother Cao. Once this battle is over, let’s head back and help Senior Brother Cao kill that Li Chang’an. What do you all think?"

"Good! I was thinking the same thing!"

"..."

The other four quickly reached an agreement, deciding to help Cao Shaolong kill Li Chang’an.

Little did they know, Li Chang’an was right nearby.

He had heard every single word they said.

’They want to kill me?’

His expression turned grim, and his cold gaze swept over the four men, mentally reserving four spots for them in his Venerable Soul Banner.

"Xiaohai, Dahuang, get ready. It’s our turn to make a move!"

He commanded.

The two Spirit Beasts hidden in the shadows both radiated their intent to fight.

A moment later, Li Chang’an’s figure flashed. He transformed into a streak of light, arriving at the battlefield in an instant.

Immediately after, a cyan light appeared in his hand.

The Cyan Wood Divine Light!

He had already cultivated this Magic to the Minor Success Realm, making it comparable to a top-tier Celestial Grade Magic!

"Go!"

Li Chang’an’s face was impassive as he waved his hand.

A ray of cyan light instantly tore through the sky. Dazzling and terrifyingly powerful, it shot forward like a burning meteor, reaching a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Cyan Cloud Sect in the blink of an eye.

The man had been laughing just a moment before, but now his face was filled with horror.

"This is bad! Senior Brother Cao, save me!"

He had no time to defend himself before the terrifying divine light struck him.

BOOM!

The man exploded on the spot, turning into a shower of blood and gore.

"Come!"

Li Chang’an raised his hand and beckoned, collecting both the man’s Storage Pouch and his Soul.

Only then did Cao Shaolong and the other three react.

"Li Chang’an!"

Cao Shaolong was both shocked and enraged, his eyes fixed deadly on Li Chang’an.

He never would have imagined that Li Chang’an would dare to take the initiative and attack him.

What was even more unimaginable was that Li Chang’an’s power was so astonishing.
