Chapter 989 - 437: End of the Longevity Painting (2)

Shangguan Xiaoxiao wielded the Celestial Corpse Small Sword, slashing with it, then suddenly, in her hand appeared an illustration!

As the illustration emerged, it was instantly activated. The scroll unfurled slowly, and within it, a figure gradually manifested in the world...

In the shadows, the pupils of Yunluo Immortal Venerable narrowed slightly, focusing intently on that ethereal figure!

The figure emerging from the illustration was a middle-aged man, dressed in white, with a calm and indifferent demeanor, as if he had experienced countless lifetimes, walked out from the Corpse Mountain and sea of blood, yet untouched by any dust. He seemed like an Asura, yet also like a heavenly fairy...

Longevity Seeker!

Yunluo Immortal Venerable finally understood what had appeared in Shangguan Xiaoxiao's place of demise during the heavenly battle...

Is this scroll the backup plan left by the Longevity Seeker?

Yunluo Immortal Venerable pondered indecisively, this object was extraordinary, yet it was undeniably connected to the Longevity Seeker.

Even the two Daluo Golden Immortals who intercepted Shangguan Xiaoxiao, at this moment, were filled with apprehension as they watched the middle-aged man, not daring to act recklessly. Shangguan Xiaoxiao fled without them bothering to intervene.

Amidst the endless yellow dust, in the desolate Ninth Celestial Realm, an ethereal figure strolled out, seemingly wandering through the universe, seemingly glancing back at the sky.

Yet, within his eyes, lay a trace of confusion.

He was a spirit formed by Yuan Ziyi's mother and son through sacrifice and yearning, identical to the Longevity Seeker, but he had neither a past nor a future.

"Attack!"

A voice rang out in the minds of the two Daluo Golden Immortals. They exchanged glances, unsure of the true nature of this existence before them, yet hesitated for a moment, ultimately gritting their teeth, as one of them abruptly shot a flying sword at the Longevity Seeker's ethereal figure.

As the flying sword was launched, he retreated swiftly, fearing to be caught in the aftermath!

Unexpectedly, as the flying sword reached its mark, the Longevity Seeker's ethereal figure did not even raise his hand, only smiled slightly, seemingly with a sense of release and serenity, devoid of fear.

The flying sword pierced through the ethereal figure and ultimately obliterated the scroll.

The scroll turned to dust, scattered across the land, merging with the countless yellow dust.

At this moment, the entire Ninth Celestial Realm was engulfed in an unprecedented silence.

The two Daluo Golden Immortals were somewhat stunned, their faces filled with incredulity, unable to believe...

This is what frightened their mentor Yunluo Immortal Venerable during the heavenly battle, and kept him from acting personally for years?

This is Shangguan Xiaoxiao's trump card that shook the world?

... Just a scroll, a spirit so weak it couldn't be weaker?!

"Is this... real?"

One of them stepped forward, reaching out, grasping a few remnants from the yellow dust, his Daluo eyes flickering, saying, "That ethereal figure really just came from this illustration, someone revered this scroll, resulting in the birth of that spirit..."

He instinctively raised his eyes to the endless sky.

And at this moment...

In the vast void, Yunluo Immortal Venerable's expression had become extremely grim, his teeth gnashing, feeling an unprecedented fury...

This was the greatest humiliation he had ever felt!

It was fundamentally not!

It was simply not the real Longevity Seeker, nor was it the Longevity Seeker's backup plan.

But genuinely just an illustration, an ethereal figure indistinguishable from the Longevity Seeker...

Yet, it was such a thing that had kept him apprehensive for so many years? Compelling him to orchestrate an epic battle with the heavenly court.

That's not even the worst of it, most importantly, it forced him to relinquish his Yunluo Immortal Seal, depleting countless years of cultivation for it.

If word got out, Yunluo Immortal Venerable would become the laughing stock of the world, a bunch of insignificant heavenly ants had managed to lead him around...

"You all must die, must die!"

At this moment, Yunluo Immortal Venerable manifested directly, his voice reverberating through All Heavens and the myriad realms, the Great Dao roared, the void trembled, this was the wrath of an Immortal Venerable!

He wished nothing more than to crush the entire heavenly court, Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Purple Fairy, An Li... these people would all suffer the most extreme torment in this world!

However, his fury had yet to move, his gaze had already shifted to a certain direction.

Only to see Qin Zhong Celestial Monarch holding the Yunluo Immortal Seal, at this moment, having collected the vast Longevity White Mist that once belonged to Evergreen Immortal Venerable into the Daluo World, then swiftly retreating, trying to escape!

"Well done, Shangguan Xiaoxiao, I've remembered you!"

Yunluo Immortal Venerable spoke coldly, Shangguan Xiaoxiao had pulled a trick on him before leaving.

She gave all the Longevity White Mist to Qin Zhong Celestial Monarch, so when Yunluo Immortal Venerable realized the truth about the illustration, he faced a choice, to either pursue Shangguan Xiaoxiao and the heavenly court, or kill Qin Zhong Celestial Monarch to seize the Longevity White Mist first?

This wasn't really a choice, because Yunluo Immortal Venerable was, after all, an Immortal Venerable, a supreme existence who had battled Evergreen Immortal Venerable for countless ages, so he wouldn't act on emotion, interest came first!

He directly reached out with a large hand, even breaking the boundary wall, and grasped at Qin Zhong Celestial Monarch.

But Qin Zhong Celestial Monarch countered by lifting the Yunluo Immortal Seal, striking at him, a terrifying world-destroying light swept forth, colliding with Yunluo Immortal Venerable, triggering an explosion.

Thankfully, the current Tenth Celestial Realm and Ninth Celestial Realm were already a field of yellow dust, reverted to a primitive state, otherwise, both worlds might have been destroyed together.

The unbridled collision of Immortal Venerable Level power, this was truly terrifying.

Qin Zhong fiercely fled!

"All the Longevity White Mist is mine... why, why should I give it to you?!"

As a Daluo, he couldn't have not yearned for longevity, only when lacking strength, could he only lie low.
