Chapter 935 - 407: Severing the Immortal Longevity Path

Chapter 935: Chapter 407: Severing the Immortal Longevity Path

On the battlefield, the situation had stalemated. Xiang Yuntian, possessed by Yunluo Immortal Venerable, was like a lion biting into its prey’s neck, gripping firmly onto Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s arm. Strange auras emanated from his eyes, mouth, and nose, infiltrating Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s body like maggots on decaying bones.

Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s face turned ashen, looking increasingly grim. He struggled with all his might, as the Immortal Dao essence within him occasionally transformed into phenomena like thunder, fire, and Weak Water, forming extraordinary barriers to safeguard his life.

Every drop of Immortal Dao essence on him was an unparalleled treasure. One drop could incinerate a continent or world entirely. Even a Daluo Golden Immortal would be suppressed and obliterated by such energy. Yet now, despite the tumult of his Life Essence and the boiling of the Great Dao, he could not halt the erosion of the strange aura.

Without the protection of the Life Seed, Evergreen Immortal Venerable found it challenging to block the eerie path of Yunluo Immortal Venerable.

In a sense, Yunluo Immortal Venerable and Evergreen Immortal Venerable had treaded on the path of life and death. The so-called eeriness was merely a manifestation of death’s distortion, with Yunluo Immortal Venerable as its master.

Evergreen Immortal Venerable was able to contend with him, relying entirely on the power of the Life Seed. Now that the Life Seed was restrained by the Ta’e Sword Soul, he lost his most vital reliance.

"Yunluo, the people of Dao Sect killed me to save all living beings. Do you think they will let you become a Longevity Seeker?"

Though the Immortal Dao essence was continually draining from Evergreen Immortal Venerable, and the eerie aura within him grew more severe, he remained exceedingly composed, calmly saying, "If killing me is only to fulfill you, what is the meaning of all their actions?"

"You and I have plotted for eons to reach this day. If we fall victim to such petty provocations and schemes, perhaps it would become the greatest joke!"

"Do not deceive yourself!"

But Yunluo Immortal Venerable sneered, "Such trifling attempts to sow discord didn’t even sway Xiang Yuntian much. Do you think they’ll work on me?"

"I cannot be at ease while you live."

"Once you’re dead, what will a mere Dao Sect be able to do to me!"

Yunluo Immortal Venerable intensified his power, and Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s flesh fell off in large chunks, his body decaying as white bones were exposed, drenched in blood. In the haze, one could vaguely see his Divine Soul struggling within the flesh.

"Alright, alright, alright! In that case, I shall fulfill your wish!"

Seeing Yunluo Immortal Venerable unmoved, Evergreen Immortal Venerable suddenly clasped a technique, mana surged, and instantly, numerous white mists rose from within him!

On the other side, the green giant tree entangled by the Ta’e Sword Soul also emitted white mist.

In such a situation, Evergreen Immortal Venerable astonishingly forced out his own Longevity White Mist!

"Today, Evergreen shall benefit the world!"

Though overwhelmed by eeriness, at this moment, he remarkably felt a transcendent and profound sense of one thought flourishing across the world. With a wave of his grand sleeve, the Evergreen giant tree vanished in an instant, like worlds collapsing and decaying, green leaves withering, branches and twigs wilting, the trunk aged and dull, all vitality and sanctity transforming into countless glimmers of light that transcended the barrier of creation, like stars of All Heavens falling, scattered across the vast realm of the thirty-three skies!

His body instantly split, even the soul light dissolved into mist and vapor!

"What?"

"Has he lost his mind? Evergreen Immortal Venerable actually chose to dissolve into the Dao?"

"Is he...searching for life in the midst of death?"

Witnessing this scene, all the masters around were shocked and pale.

This so-called choice of Evergreen Immortal Venerable was to directly transform his life away, causing all causal connections, cultivated divine power, to return to creation. By doing so, he would inevitably lose everything he currently held!

The Immortal Venerable level cultivation, unsurpassable status, a lifetime’s accumulated resources, even the world’s most precious Longevity White Mist... all disappeared like smoke.

If his luck was sufficiently good, those countless glimmers of light falling into creation might allow him a rebirth chance.

But that was merely a chance for rebirth!

"Truly a hero. Facing such a situation, the more he struggled, the closer he’d be to his demise. Hesitation and doubt would only lead to him being fully refined by Yunluo Immortal Venerable. Yet now, seizing the moment before his Dao Power dissipated, casting his Life Essence into the wheel of reincarnation—this way, not even Yunluo Immortal Venerable can stop him, allowing for his rebirth...this is already the best outcome!"

"For a character like Evergreen Immortal Venerable, with astonishing determination, even deprived of today’s achievements, perhaps... he could rise rapidly again!"

Many spoke, with the wise among them understanding why Evergreen Immortal Venerable chose such a path!

In reality, as an Immortal Venerable, he must have many trump cards and backups. If he truly employed them all, he certainly could have contended against Yunluo Immortal Venerable for a while longer, causing some trouble for Yunluo Immortal Venerable, possibly making Yunluo Immortal Venerable pay a heavy price.

But then what?

At that point, even if he wounded Yunluo Immortal Venerable, he would have no more strength for rebirth, it would be mutual destruction!

Mutual destruction was never an option for someone like Evergreen Immortal Venerable.

Moreover, he evidently had foreseen that the Dao Sect couldn’t possibly lack means against Yunluo Immortal Venerable. Given this, his optimal solution was to enter reincarnation immediately, letting the Dao Sect oppose Yunluo Immortal Venerable, while also restraining the enemy for him.

Had it been someone else, under such layers of traps, with disciples turning against them and Yunluo backstabbing, they might have been consumed by rage. Yet Evergreen Immortal Venerable remained excessively rational and calm, even to a terrifying degree!
