Chapter 697: Surviving took all his strength

In the grand world, cultivators never imagined the boundless loneliness and fear that a modern traveler like Chen Xun felt upon first arriving in the world of cultivating immortality.

The Wang family's night raid, the cultivators' wanton slaughter, the great magistrate's oppressive control, and the sudden betrayal of the locals at the clinic—all these left an indelible mark of terror and dread on young Chen Xun's mind.

The shadows of youth take a lifetime to heal, never just empty words, yet Chen Xun never expressed this verbally.

These small events together silently forged a side of him that never trusted outsiders, only reciprocating kindness with kindness, revealing a selfish and indifferent nature.

When he fled the small village, sparking a war in the world of immortals over a chicken story, it illustrated his twisted mindset in this foreign world, commonly known as paranoia!

Yet it was precisely this journey that made Chen Xun aware of something before entering the Immortal Prison. Whether true or false, only by letting the grand world perish completely could he live again.

By abandoning everything from the past, he could truly view everything as an outsider, being ruthless to enemies and even more so to himself, just as he boldly forged the Five Elements immortal path.

Chen Xun inherently exuded a fierce aura, never leaving a trace when killing, mercilessly slaughtering billions of Filthy Longevity beings, his outward kindness and peace merely a facade.

No one could know the twisted mental journey of a modern person arriving in such a world of survival of the fittest, especially after obtaining the Longevity System at his weakest.

It was this inner fierceness that allowed him to openly challenge the chaotic clan, take a risky path, unleash a world-ending tribulation, and perish alongside the chaotic Great Venerable.

Rising with the tribulation, aiming to soar high, cutting off everything, leaving only the words "break the game"!

Above the White Sea.

Ye Qingyou swiftly erased the names of Chen Xun and others, her eyes filled with cold indifference. Since they had fallen, there was no need for further lamentation; failure rendered that line insignificant.

Ji Yan and others had never been on her mind; the grand world beings couldn't stir any waves, mere small-time figures, the prodigies on the Chaos Immortal Spirit List were enough to suppress them.

However, those who could emerge from billions of Filthy Longevity beings, who could reach the pinnacle of immortality from a backward world, had Dao hearts and talents far beyond these peaceful world cultivators. They... were the true immortal prodigies!

Ye Qingyou had long prepared herself for the life and death of Chen Xun and others.

Living, they could lead the chaotic clan into the Three Thousand Great Worlds, benefiting them.

Dying, the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance would have two fewer future major enemies, benefiting them.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance had never lost anything; pawns were just pawns, never affecting the Dao heart of the player.

She examined the immortal paths of others, including Bai Li Feng Yao and even Meng Sheng, though the latter was vague, clearly in a special region like the Wild Heaven Region, extremely difficult to probe.

"Meng Sheng... and those few others seem promising, I'm curious to see how far you can go."

A glimmer of light flashed in Ye Qingyou's eyes, "Yin Tianshou has disappointed me too much, I hope you won't do the same, you've been given too many chances..."

"Deputy Alliance Leader." At this moment, a mysterious figure appeared not far behind her, shrouded in darkness.

"Yes."

"The chaotic clan in the Xuanwei Heaven domain of the Great World of Taiyi and the battlefield beyond the boundary have been investigated, there's a presence of chaotic Nine Heavens Immortal Thunder Tribulation, Gu Wanjun was pulled into the tribulation, his immortal body perished."

"Yes."

"The places Chen Xun and Ximen Black Bull visited have no remaining aura, completely fallen, the Celestial Formation Dao Palace has begun pressuring the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance for an explanation."

"Yes."

Ye Qingyou responded calmly, unmoved, "Are they worthy of meeting me? Let 'Qi Xiao Immortal' come personally, I will give him an explanation, the rest, if they don't leave, let them stay forever."

"Understood!"

"Now, with internal and external troubles within the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, don't waste time on such forces, let the leaders of the Cangchen, Suoshen, and Juefeng clans come to meet... attack the Slaying Immortal Ancient Domain."

Ye Qingyou spoke slowly, and in an instant, killing intent filled the heavens and earth, causing a shocking upheaval in the White Sea, "The time is ripe, if we don't quell the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan's rebellion, we can no longer move forward."

The shadow trembled at her words, her thoughts too unpredictable, though the situation was sudden, he dared not harbor any doubts, respectfully saying, "Understood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he left immediately, not daring to linger, seemingly very afraid of her.

"The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance has been silent for tens of thousands of years, is it really as you see it..."

Ye Qingyou's lips curved into a stunning arc, "It's time to reclaim the Slaying Immortal Ancient Domain's pawns, the human race of the Boundless Great World... I hope this gift won't disappoint you."

With a hint of barely detectable madness in her eyes, the war between the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance and the human race of the Boundless Great World, taking advantage of the wind of the battlefield beyond the boundary, officially began!

As for the matter of Chen Xun and others, it seemed to be a trivial issue for the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance.

But with just a slight move, they toyed with an opener like Yin Tianshou, leaving his immortal path bleak, his spirit broken, ready to end his days in the Mengmu Sea Region.

Toying with a Longevity System holder like Chen Xun, forcing them to self-destruct their immortal Dao origin to protect themselves, erasing their traces in the grand world, was simply not on the same level.

...

In the battlefield beyond the boundary, within the chaotic void.

Boom—

In the dark and desolate deep space, ancient thunder roared, waves of thunder surged like tsunamis, and massive purple thunder dragons illuminated the surrounding darkness.

The terrifying might and oppressive aura surged through millions of miles of chaotic void, causing Black Bull outside the tribulation to break out in cold sweat, not knowing where Chen Xun was.

"Moo..." Black Bull gazed at the boundless sea of thunder in the distance, exhaling a trembling breath.

All around, tribulation clouds rolled, purple thunder dragons devoured the chaotic void, and the ancient thunderous sound continuously assaulted its mind.

Though this tribulation was not as before, the terrifying rule power interwoven within it, each purple thunder dragon's explosion resonated with ten thousand rules, even clashing with chaos itself!

Buzz—

Blinding purple light illuminated all directions, and within the chaotic void, a suffocating pressure followed, as the tribulation crossing began to converge suddenly!

At this moment, above the tribulation, a silver-haired figure in white stood, with mysterious patterns on his brow, wielding a large axe on his back, his long hair flowing with the thunderstorm of the vast tribulation.

Chen Xun's indifferent eyes calmly overlooked the tribulation crossing, standing on chaos, unmoved by the terrifying auras locking onto him from all sides.

Swish!

Chen Xun slowly put away his shirt, revealing sixteen meticulously refined abs, his entire body as crystalline as immortal bones, his body apertures suddenly operating!

His indifferent gaze gradually revealed a domineering aura over the tribulation, a beam of light spanning heaven and earth pierced through the chaotic tribulation, a colossal Heavenly Origin star revolving beside him.

Boom!

The appearance of the Heavenly Origin star caused the boundless sea of thunder to tremble, purple rule thunder dragons continued to converge, locking onto the figure above the tribulation, with no escape from heaven or earth!

Boom! Boom!

Lines of death surged from Chen Xun's brow, covering his entire body.

Yet they were orderly, never appearing chaotic on Chen Xun's body, instead adding a fierce and mysterious aura.

Suddenly!

The sea of thunder exploded, ancient roars echoed, and a magnificent death energy demon shadow slowly descended into the chaotic void.

At its appearance, a hundred thousand purple thunder dragons roared with earth-shattering thunder, like the wrath of heaven and earth, roaring towards it!

The death energy demon shadow's eyes were eerie, coldly rational to the extreme, standing firmly behind the small silver-haired figure, gazing at the vast chaotic tribulation, unmoved by the roars.

Chen Xun slightly raised his head, drawing the large axe from his back, terrifying rule power surged through the chaos, four hundred and forty thousand rule powers resonated, enveloping the entire tribulation sea of thunder, the dazzling thunder light spilling in all directions, brighter than the sun!

"...Come!"
