Chapter 525: Burdened with Sin! Slaying a True Immortal (6k)

~22 min read 4,340 words

"This little guy called Seven-Star, although he is a Nascent Soul perfection, Five-Rank Immortal Foundation, his strength should be at most at the Earth Immortal threshold." Earth Immortal Qingli thought so: "My sword, mixed in the aftermath of Earth Immortal Zhiyun's self-detonation, is not conspicuous at all, and should just happen to be able to destroy his fleshly body."

"Hmm, now that there are quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators who have died, what does it matter if one more dies?" Earth Immortal Qingli thought to himself: "No one can say anything."

"Little guy."

"Just catching you is already my magnanimity." Earth Immortal Qingli believed he was very kind.

After all, many Earth Immortals, when refining longevity pills, were barbaric in their capture, and in order to eliminate future troubles, they would often fabricate charges to wipe out their friends and blood descendants.

Even if they were loose cultivators, most of them had friends and blood descendants.

But the next scene was completely beyond Earth Immortal Qingli's expectation.

"That is? How is it possible!" Earth Immortal Qingli's pupils shrank, because he saw his sword light, which was restrained in power, pass through the formation golden light and fall on Li Yuan.

It seemed that an invisible force swept past, and his sword qi dissipated.

It was not just Earth Immortal Qingli; the other two Earth Immortal Generals also clearly perceived this point.

"He hid his strength."

"He is not a Nascent Soul cultivator!" The three Earth Immortals flashed this thought in their minds at the same time, and they wanted to take action.

But it was already too late.

Upon noticing that Earth Immortal Qingli had taken action against him, Li Yuan made a decision—take action!

Having investigated intelligence for so long, he had already figured out a large amount of information about this world, and the significance of continuing to lie low and hide his identity was getting smaller and smaller.

Most importantly, even if he continued to hide his identity, it was impossible for Li Yuan to cultivate to the Earth Immortal realm, and he was destined to be unable to join higher-level forces to slowly collect intelligence.

And from many signs, this so-called Dao Court Dynasty had big problems.

"Boom!" Li Yuan thought to himself, and based on 'Chaos Heaven and Earth', he performed the nine-fold star technique 'Heaven and Earth River'.

Even without performing the perfect star technique 'Law of Heaven and Earth', relying on Li Yuan's own basic source power, the power of this move still reached the Void God limit level.

Thousands of miles in radius, the Heaven and Earth River domain shrouded everything, directly suppressing some battle aftermath.

Three Earth Immortals, two thousand Nascent Soul cultivators.

All were suppressed.

All this change was too fast, and other Nascent Soul cultivators hadn't reacted yet, but Earth Immortal Qingli and the two Earth Immortal Generals were full of astonishment and disbelief: "How is it possible?"

"Two Heaven-Net Great Formations, suppressed instantly? What kind of strength is this? Could it be a True Immortal?"

Before they could think more.

Another invisible soul fluctuation descended, making everyone in this void sink.

Everything became quiet.

All fifth-rank Earth Immortals and fourth-rank Nascent Soul cultivators fell for it under Li Yuan's soul attack.

"This Earth Immortal Qingli."

"Said to be a Nascent Soul perfection cultivator, but his true strength is only at the early Void God stage." Li Yuan was very calm: "Only the soul defense is slightly stronger, actually reaching the peak Void God level."

"As expected of an existence that has cultivated a Primordial Spirit."

Being of the same fifth rank, the strength of Earth Immortals is much weaker than Void Gods.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan took a step, and he had already crossed thousands of miles to arrive in front of Earth Immortal Qingli, whose eyes were godless.

The other two Earth Immortal Generals were also manipulated by the domain and flew powerlessly in front of Li Yuan.

"Soul bewitchment." Li Yuan performed the means.

For Nascent Soul cultivators, Li Yuan dared to search their souls wantonly, which could ensure perfect control over the subtle parts of their souls.

But for the 'fifth-rank Earth Immortal' who had uniqueness in the soul aspect, he still had to be careful.

"Tell me." Li Yuan used the illusion constructed by the Heart-Mind Void to make the three Earth Immortals' consciousness sink constantly: "What is the strongest force in this heaven and earth? Is there an existence beyond Heavenly Immortals?"

"The strongest force in heaven and earth is the Hongguang

"Dao Ancestor?" Li Yuan's brows tightened.

Previously, in the Daoist scriptures of Anshun City, there was no description of Dao Ancestors.

"Is my Centurion data permission not high enough?" Li Yuan thought secretly.

Obviously, the vision of the Qingli Earth Immortal was much higher than that of the two Earth Immortals.

"What is a Dao Ancestor?" Li Yuan continued to ask.

"To become an Earth Immortal, one must enter the Dao (7th stage); to become a True Immortal, one must harmonize with the Dao (8th stage); to become a Heavenly Immortal, one must have the comprehension of transforming into the Dao."

"A Dao Ancestor is an existence that controls the Great Dao." Qingli Earth Immortal continued to mutter: "One Great Dao only allows one Dao Ancestor to exist. The seven Great Daos between heaven and earth are the seven Dao Ancestors. This is the origin of the seven Great Dao Courts..."

Li Yuan roughly understood in his heart.

The law comprehension of a Heavenly Immortal should be at the 9th stage level.

As for the so-called Dao Ancestor, it should be controlling a Great Dao, which is equivalent to Heavenly God law comprehension.

"In other words, the height of my law realm today should be a supreme existence among the Heavenly Immortals of this world, approaching the Dao Ancestor level." Li Yuan made a judgment: "It's just that I don't know the magic power level of those True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and Dao Ancestors."

Strength, law comprehension is important, but magic power is also very important.

"Have you ever seen a True Immortal make a move? How is the strength of a True Immortal? How is their flight speed? How vast an area can one move cover?" Li Yuan continued to ask.

"I have seen a True Immortal make a move..." Qingli Earth Immortal continued.

Soon, according to the description of the Qingli Earth Immortal, Li Yuan obtained the approximate strength range of a True Immortal—Void God Peak to Void God Limit.

As for Heavenly Immortals?

Qingli Earth Immortal had never seen a Heavenly Immortal.

"The strength of a Heavenly Immortal should be at the True God level." Li Yuan had a vague judgment: "Dao Ancestor? I don't know if they have Heavenly God strength."

At this point, Li Yuan already had a rough idea in his heart.

If he encountered a Heavenly Immortal, he should be able to fight! But if he faced a Dao Ancestor, it was best to escape at the first opportunity.

The existence that has fully comprehended a complete Great Dao, even if it is only at the True God magic power level, is not something he can resist for the time being.

"However, seven Great Dao Ancestors?"

"Could it be that in this world, only one person can comprehend the Great Dao by practicing the Immortal Dao?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

……

Time passed, and Li Yuan kept asking.

Qingli Earth Immortal was indeed a high-level member of the Border Guard who had lived for tens of thousands of years, and he knew many secrets.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Yuan had a deeper understanding of this world.

There are seven Great Dao Courts between heaven and earth.

Each Dao Court has opened up a Heavenly Realm, and the seven Great Dao Courts together rule about nine thousand great worlds.

The so-called great world is a world similar to the Changyun world.

There is more than one Heavenly Immortal in the Changyun world, such as the founding emperor of the Changyun Dynasty, who was a Heavenly Immortal, the 'Changyun Heavenly Immortal'.

As for other Heavenly Immortals? Qingli Earth Immortal did not know how many there were.

"The Dao Court's rule is unshakable."

"Long ages, since the primordial era."

"All Dao Court Immortals, if they want to advance in realm, must have the Dao Court's consent? If not, once a stroke is made on the Immortal Register, they will be directly transformed from immortal to mortal and fall into the Avici Hell? Without any power to resist? Even Heavenly Immortals are no exception?" Li Yuan thought secretly.

What kind of treasure is this Immortal Register? Its power is actually so heaven-defying?

"And wandering loose immortals who are not on the Dao Court's 'Immortal Register' can at most become Earth Immortals. Anyone who dares to break through to the True Immortal realm is regarded as 'demon-like' and will be suppressed by the Dao Court?"

In short, in this world, almost all True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals are constrained by the Dao Court.

Basically, there is no freedom.

"This Immortal Register is not an immortal register at all; it is clearly a demonic register that manipulates the life and death of all immortals." Li Yuan had a realization: "If so, all immortals, even if they cultivate to become Heavenly Immortals, cannot escape the constraints and control of the seven Great Dao Ancestors."

This is only one aspect of control.

"These so-called Earth Immortals of longevity and blessing actually rely on using 'Nascent Souls' as material to refine immortal elixirs for longevity?" Li Yuan focused on asking the Qingli Earth Immortal about the reason for longevity.

"And True Immortals actually use Earth Immortal Primordial Spirits as material to refine immortal elixirs for longevity?"

As for the Heavenly Immortals who are said to have the same lifespan as heaven and earth, whether they rely on themselves or on external objects like Earth Immortals and True Immortals, Qingli Earth Immortal did not know.

After understanding many secrets, Li Yuan was silent for a while.

He seemed to see.

This world, which seems to have a flourishing Immortal Dao, is actually a decaying world with rigid class structures and bloodiness from top to bottom.

The Dao Ancestors manipulate everything.

Heavenly Immortals, True Gods, Earth Immortals, and ordinary immortal cultivators exploit layer by layer... Countless ordinary mortals are not only treated as blood food to be devoured and have their souls refined, but are also constantly bewitched to treat the high-and-mighty immortals as 'saviors' and must contribute their own incense and wishes.

Even after death, the souls of countless mortals must enter the six paths of reincarnation to contribute themselves...

There is no hope!

All struggles seem futile.

"Perhaps it is as Zhiyun Earth Immortal said, this human world is hell." Li Yuan thought secretly: "Even the rule of the Abyss Divine Court is much better than this world."

Cultivation in the Divine Domain has always emphasized surpassing predecessors, breaking through many shackles, and returning great power to oneself.

"Do you think this is normal?" Li Yuan asked softly.

"Humans eat animals, is that normal? Immortals eat mortals, is that not normal?" Qingli Earth Immortal muttered to himself: "The strong eat the weak, the big eat the small, is there anything wrong with that? The Heavenly Dao is the ultimate truth."

This was the heartfelt answer of the Qingli Earth Immortal.

Over long ages, even if many Earth Immortals and True Immortals knew the truth, they were completely assimilated and took everything for granted.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan waved his hand, turning the Qingli Earth Immortal and the two Earth Immortal generals into ashes.

The moment they died.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan faintly perceived that in this vast heaven and earth, it was as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at him.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~ Streams of invisible power descended upon Li Yuan.

Li Yuan could perceive that he had gained some special power.

These powers were invisible and formless; they could not be expelled by soul power, Source Force, or Nascent Soul magic power.

"Is this the power of sin? It doesn't exist in the Divine Domain." Li Yuan whispered to himself: "I didn't expect that just by killing three Dao Court Immortals, I would reach the level of Blood Shadow Sin."

"This world, this so-called Heavenly Dao will, is indeed biased towards Dao Court cultivators."

According to the information Li Yuan understood, the so-called sin in this world is divided into seven levels.

Dust Sin, Light Cloud Sin, Shadow Sin, Blood Shadow Sin, Blood Light Sin, Heavenly Condemnation Sin, Avici Sin.

Reaching the fourth level, Blood Shadow Sin, is already terrifying, usually attracting the Border Guard to hunt them down.

The last three levels will become increasingly terrifying.

However, if they are Dao Court Immortals, as long as they can make contributions and pay some price, they can enter the 'Sin Pool' and use the power of the pool water to wash away their sins... So people like Qingli Earth Immortal actually have great merit.

In Li Yuan's view.

This sin and merit is not for distinguishing good from evil at all; it is clearly a means used by the Dao Court to 'eliminate dissidents'.

"It's just a pity."

"I still couldn't ask where the 'Wanquan Void' is." Li Yuan thought secretly: "I now possess Blood Shadow Sin, and I fear I have already been sensed by heaven and earth. The Border Guard should already know and will quickly come to hunt me down. I must hurry."

According to the intelligence revealed by Qingli Earth Immortal, how does the Border Guard hunt down those with great sins?

It originates from the guidance of the Heavenly Dao!

Anyone with great sin in this world is like a big light bulb in the dark, extremely conspicuous.

"So, Zhiyun Earth Immortal thought it was his disciples who leaked it? Was he wronging those disciples?" Li Yuan muttered secretly.

Of course, Li Yuan did not think Zhiyun Earth Immortal was a good person. "It is not any one person who is wrong."

"It is the entire heaven and earth." Li Yuan took a step, floating thousands of kilometers, and disappeared at the end of the world.

The next moment.

The two thousand Nascent Soul cultivators in the void all regained their sobriety, their eyes filled with confusion.

"What just happened?"

"What happened to us? Was that Zhiyun demon self-detonating just now?" These Nascent Soul cultivators were all puzzled.

Before Li Yuan suppressed the three Earth Immortals just now, he had already made their consciousnesses sink.

So, they didn't know what happened at all.

"Where are the immortals?"

"The three immortals are dead!"

"Are they all dead?" More than a thousand Nascent Soul cultivators felt a wave of terror; they discovered the traces of the three Earth Immortals' deaths.

!.

The immortals were dead, but they, the Half-Immortals, were alive?

"Where is Fellow Daoist Seven Stars? Could he have been caught in the aftermath and died?" Lei Kun Half-Immortal was looking for Li Yuan's traces.

Not many noticed Li Yuan's disappearance.

After all, it was chaotic, and besides the deaths of the three Earth Immortals, more than two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators had died in the previous battle.

……

How fast is Li Yuan's flight speed now? By performing 'Void Travel', flashing thousands of kilometers in a second is easy, no less than many True Gods.

Before long, he had arrived outside Anshun City.

"Border Guard hunt?"

"I'm afraid you haven't been dispatched yet." Li Yuan entered Anshun City directly.

The moment he broke into the city, Li Yuan's powerful spiritual sense was released without any concealment, shrouding the entire Anshun City.

Within the range of his spiritual sense, everything was revealed.

In Li Yuan's perception, there were hundreds of Earth Immortals in the entire Anshun City, and their life levels were only level 47-52.

Not one exceeded level 52.

"Earth Immortals don't know the location of the Wanquan Void."

"What about True Immortals?" Li Yuan instantly locked onto two powerhouses deep within the Anshun Hou Fu: "Two True Immortals? Their auras seem to be inferior to True Gods."

Li Yuan's spiritual sense swept across a wide area.

The many Earth Immortals in Anshun City did not notice, but the two True Immortals sensed it instantly.

True Immortals, compared to Divine Dao powerhouses of the same life level, have more powerful and special immortal senses.

"What a strong immortal sense!"

"Sweeping so wantonly."

"Who is it!" The two True Immortals were instantly shocked, and their figures moved as they rushed out of their retreat.

They arrived in the high sky of the city.

Rumble~ The entire Anshun City's formation was also activated at their thought.

"What's wrong?"

"The city defense formation is fully activated?"

"Is an enemy approaching?" The many Earth Immortals in Anshun City were all shocked.

Many Earth Immortals belonging to the Anshun Hou Fu lineage hurriedly entered the formation, trying to help set up the array.

At the same time, many Earth Immortals also saw the scene in the void.

Above Anshun City, under the shroud of golden light.

At this moment, the aura emitted by Li Yuan, under the cover of the Dream Realm Stone, was just like an Earth Immortal.

Only after seeing an Earth Immortal could Li Yuan imitate the aura of an Earth Immortal.

"Fellow Daoist, who are you, and why do you offend my Anshun Hou Fu?" The black-robed old man in the lead had a cold voice.

Another middle-aged man in purple robes also stared at Li Yuan vigilantly, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Brother, there is no Dao Court aura on him, but rather a body of sin. He should already be at the Blood Shadow Sin level, likely a wandering loose immortal."

Dao Court Immortals have identity credentials for each other.

And Li Yuan can imitate the Earth Immortal aura, but he cannot eliminate the aura of sin all over his body; this is the blessing of this world's Heavenly Dao.

"Wandering loose immortal? Then he is an Earth Immortal!" The black-robed old man was also puzzled and transmitted his voice to the purple-robed middle-aged man: "But why would an Earth Immortal have such a strong immortal sense? I fear it is close to the Heavenly Immortal level."

The two of them were indeed apprehensive.

"Just as I expected." Li Yuan stared at the two True Immortals in the distant void: "Life level 57."

At close range, Li Yuan performed a Divine Palace investigation and accurately determined the life levels of the two True Immortals.

"This True Immortal, the law comprehension requirement is not as good as a True God, and they don't cultivate the physical body. If their life level could be comparable to a True God... that would be strange."

Confirming the opponent's strength, Li Yuan felt settled in his heart and had no more fear.

"You two must be the two True Immortal ancestors of Anshun City."

"I'm just passing by, asking you a question." Li Yuan smiled: "Where is the Wanquan Void?"

The faces of the two True Immortals changed.

Wanquan Void?

Before they could answer, an invisible soul power descended, causing them both to sink instantly.

It wasn't just them; countless living beings in Anshun City, including the hundreds of Earth Immortals, also sank in an instant.

"Infiltration inquiry." Li Yuan tried to infiltrate the two True Immortals through the illusion to explore more information.

Hum~ Hum~

"Damn it! You actually want to control us with your soul?"

"It must be a demon from the Demon Realm. Quickly ask the dynasty for help." The two True Immortals actually regained their sobriety.

Their eyes were filled with shock and fear.

What kind of soul attack could make them, dignified True Immortals, sink completely?

In their perception, Li Yuan was clearly just an Earth Immortal.

"Immortal Dao cultivators, their soul defense is indeed powerful." Li Yuan sighed inwardly. Under the first soul attack, the two great True Immortals recovered their sobriety so quickly that there was no chance to ask for information.

Li Yuan's mind stirred.

He released the soul suppression on the hundreds of Earth Immortals in Anshun City, allowing them to see the scene in the high sky clearly.

Boom! Boom! The two great True Immortals retreated violently at the same time.

"Formation! Rise, kill!"

The black-robed old man manipulated the protective formation of Anshun City. In an instant, heaven and earth changed color, and endless green light was born, directly forming a huge battle axe, slashing fiercely at Li Yuan.

Relying on the formation, the strength he could exert far exceeded his own.

"The power of this formation can be called the limit of a True Immortal." The black-robed old man and the purple-robed middle-aged man both had a trace of expectation in their hearts.

Li Yuan also moved in an instant, a divine spear appearing in his hand and stabbing out. A dazzling spear light streaked across the sky, and the battle axe condensed by the formation's power instantly shattered. The spear light continued to streak across the bodies of the black-robed old man and the purple-robed middle-aged man.

The faces of the two True Immortals changed: "What?"

The terrifying power contained in this spear caused the bodies of the two great True Immortals to shatter instantly.

Just one move!

The Anshun Marquis lineage, two True Immortal ancestors, fell!

From beginning to end, Li Yuan just stood where he was.

These two so-called True Immortals had strength at the Void God Peak level, and only reached the 7th level of the Source Fire Realm by relying on the formation.

What about Li Yuan? After practicing "Law Heaven and Earth", his physical body underwent rapid transformation. Even without performing body-refining star techniques, the terror of his power was comparable to the Void God mid-stage level. Then, performing spear techniques... his strength reached the 9th level of the Source Fire Realm, infinitely close to the True God level.

Crushing these two True Immortals.

Was easy.

"These so-called True Immortals, their bodies are really weak; they die upon contact." Li Yuan thought secretly.

"What?"

"Two great True Immortals, just wiped out like this? With the help of the protective array, they couldn't stop it?" The hundreds of Earth Immortals were all stunned, their hearts chilled.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" Relying on his super-high comprehension of space, Li Yuan perceived a trace of abnormality, his eyes condensing: "They're actually not dead yet?"

Swish!

Li Yuan stretched out his large hand, grabbing fiercely at the void. The void changed color because of it, and in an instant, two phantoms instantly solidified.

They were the two True Immortals who had just died.

"Senior, spare my life."

"Senior, spare my life." The two True Immortals were already full of fear.

They didn't expect that even if only a little bit of Primordial Spirit light was left to escape, it would be perceived by Li Yuan.

What kind of old monster is this?

"If I let you leave, as long as you enter the 'Reincarnation Immortal Pool' of the Heavenly Realm, you can quickly recover and be reborn, right?" Li Yuan said softly: "Now, can you tell me where the Wanquan Void is?"

"If you tell me, I will let you leave."

The two True Immortals were stunned. One of the True Immortals was just about to speak, but then the two True Immortal phantoms changed their faces at the same time: "Demon! I would rather die than tell you."

"If you have the ability, kill me, hahaha! How could we fear a demon!" The other True Immortal phantom shouted crazily.

Li Yuan couldn't help but look at the void: "Is it the invisible influence of the Dao Court's power again?"

Pfft~ Pfft!

Without any hesitation, the last bit of Primordial Spirit light of the two True Immortals was directly extinguished by Li Yuan.

Boom!

Boom!

The moment the two great True Immortals died, above Anshun City, heaven and earth instantly turned into endless blood red, as if scarlet blood had gathered into a sea.

Following that, endless blood light gathered crazily onto Li Yuan's body.

Rumble~

Higher up in the void, countless lightning lights gathered, instantly forming a huge vortex, with countless lightning bolts swimming inside, just like heavenly punishment.

At this moment, in the terrified eyes of the hundreds of Earth Immortals in Anshun City and the countless immortal cultivators.

Li Yuan was like a demon in legend who had committed endless slaughter.

Sin was born! Heavenly punishment was at hand!

It was the 'Heavenly Condemnation Sin'!

"Killing two Dao Court True Immortals directly upgraded me to the sixth level of Heavenly Condemnation Sin?" Li Yuan was extremely calm, looking at the lightning vortex in the void.

At the same time.

"Hmm? The Crystal of Slaughter, has it finally started to accumulate?" Li Yuan perceived in his Heart-Mind Void Realm.

Along with the deaths of the two True Immortals,

Boom! The triangular prism crystal suddenly bloomed with light, seemingly devouring some mysterious power, and following that, a small amount of blood-colored airflow was born inside the crystal.

"Only Dao Court True Immortals can be called Dao Court powerhouses? Only by killing them can the Crystal of Slaughter change?" Li Yuan's mind stirred: "This blood-colored airflow? Was it obtained from those two True Immortals?"

"Could it be that there are some things on these True Immortals that I don't know about?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

……

The distant capital of the Changyun Dynasty.

In a magnificent palace, several True Immortals showed expressions of horror.

"Heavenly Condemnation Sin, a great demon has been born in the territory of the Anshun Hou Fu!!"

"Two True Immortals have completely died, and even their 'Immortal Register Spirit Light' has been seized and devoured, with no more sensing. This is a major event. Immediately report to His Majesty and the Heavenly Realm."
