The Ancient Human Clan and the Ancient Immortal Clan have long been prepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" Shi Rong replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the karmic debts of the Ancient Human Clan should not be forcibly imposed on the creatures of our boundary, Qixiao. Even a child understands this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Rong's expression was as calm as still water, having long comprehended the principles of the world. \"If I were to endure silently until death for the greater good, what motivation would I have to open the heavens?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What motivation would I have to eradicate the evil spirits of the Immortal Prison, to face the immortal ancient forbidden lands alone, or to dare to step onto the Nine Heavens and declare war on my master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the Shi Rong Immortal, the one and only in these Three Thousand Great Worlds. No one can obstruct my path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Rong's voice, though calm, was filled with profound meaning and determination, resonating through the void like the tolling of a great bell, as if the river of time echoed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixiao's brow twitched slightly. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, \"I understand. I won't say more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you've broken free, Shi Rong. Congratulations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixiao's stern expression suddenly relaxed, and he smiled slightly, \"If I were to dissuade you further, it would be unwise. It's good that you can live up to this life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qixiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have one last request for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixiao nodded directly, looking beyond the heavens, \"It's about the retreat for those great clans of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance. I've already prepared it. When the war is declared, I've sent people to prepare. Today, I set off for the Boundless Great World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Rong turned his head, his smile deepening, and nodded gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixiao stood up, sighing softly, \"Gu Yuexi, Shi Rong, are you really not going to see her one last time? Back then, when you ascended to the Nine Heavens, she and Ye Qingyou went alone to the bridge of the Boundless Myriad Clans to secure a retreat for you and your followers. It wasn't easy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\" Shi Rong nodded calmly, \"But I still couldn't save your junior brother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He never blamed you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixiao smiled faintly, having long come to terms with it, \"My junior brother once said that following that person made the long path of immortality truly exciting, allowing him to truly understand the vastness of the world of immortals, rather than just cultivating within the Dao Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shi Rong's fingers twitched slightly, and the smile on his face gradually faded, remaining silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shi Rong, many boundary creatures don't understand what you're doing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ordered the destruction of their boundary. They only need to understand this one fact. The rest is just complexity that would only taint their path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Rong spoke slowly, returning to calm, \"I no longer need to cultivate a successor leader. The Boundless decree need not be respected. I am the villain, no need for further explanation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If any boundary creatures initiate a war against the heavens...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qixiao, you need not be involved. I've waited tens of thousands of years. If a truly remarkable successor emerges from the boundary, I would welcome a full battle with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Rong shook his head, his words tinged with disappointment, \"But they are all too weak. The Immortal Palace and Immortal Prison are enough to suppress them. Their spirit and talent are not top-notch, and their trials are too small.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixiao gave Shi Rong a deep look. The latter's journey to this position, the life and death experiences, and the trials of his path were beyond ordinary imagination. The current boundary creatures indeed fell far short of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, only one terrifying Shi Rong Immortal emerged among the leaders of past generations. The leaders of other great worlds were not as formidable, otherwise, it wouldn't be the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance initiating the war, but other immortal alliances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Qingyou did mention two individuals to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixiao spoke softly, his gaze unusually deep, \"One has fallen, and the other roams the Wild Heaven Region with a rather peculiar fate. Shi Rong, pay attention, don't ruin your grand plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\" Shi Rong nodded, repeating, \"I no longer care about the next generation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shi Rong, this time, there's no turning back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qixiao, you should go. If I fall, there's no need to arrange an immortal tomb. With the destruction of the boundary, I have no descendants, and fortune is useless. Just bury me under that ancient tree in the alley.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Rong spoke calmly, having long accepted life and death, \"This is my only wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixiao's eyes shimmered with starlight, his expression gradually turning cold and indifferent, \"Shi Rong, your life...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bitter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Rong seemed to know what Qixiao wanted to say and interrupted him directly, speaking indifferently, \"It was just slightly despairing back then. But with the great momentum of heaven and earth approaching, the heavens have not treated me poorly, and there's still a chance to fulfill my heart's desire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixiao silently bowed to Shi Rong, as if bidding farewell, or perhaps sending something off...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure gradually faded, disappearing from this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Rong also slowly stood up at this moment. In the distance, there was a small alley. He leisurely walked into it, but it was empty, leaving only the silhouette of this old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primordial Great World, ancient starry path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, the sky was filled with killing intent, with vast and boundless war artifacts, all coming to annihilate clans. And this annihilation was not just about killing creatures but destroying their clan's fortune!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides naturally had strong individuals and affiliated races, but in such a world-shaking war, the decisive factor wasn't the upper echelons unless there was overwhelming suppressive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, neither side had that, they were evenly matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decision lay with the billions of cultivator armies below. Annihilate all members of the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan, cut off their clan's fortune, and what can your strong individuals do? They can only become orphans of heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they can't kill you, the strong one, they can slowly outlast you, making the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan completely disappear in the river of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, strong individuals cannot reproduce a large race. Giving birth is extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's said that immortals have completely lost the ability to reproduce. Thinking of giving birth after becoming an immortal? Don't even think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were the case, wouldn't the order of life in heaven and earth be completely disrupted... Gaining some things naturally means losing others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those evil spirits from beyond the boundary are rather peculiar, not counted among them, but on closer thought, they aren't considered creatures of the grand world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also the fundamental reason why both small boundaries and the grand world of immortals protect mortals so much. Once the foundation is cut, even if the strong ones' lifespans end, they can't restore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a vast stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingyou was stationed on a warship as majestic as an immortal mountain. Her gaze was distant, her brow filled with depth. It seemed the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan had received word early and had withdrawn...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient starry path was silent, vast and deep like the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a faint smile slowly formed at the corner of her mouth. The Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan was stalling for time, and they were also stalling. The real army had yet to arrive, and now they were just clearing the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also a world-shocking ruse to confuse the world. The remnants of various special heavenly regions were gathering, and the immortal alliances of other great worlds were still beginning to converge. The Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan was just the first strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader Ye!\" A member of the Nine Heavens Shadow Clan came stepping through the air, their voice booming like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingyou stood with her hands behind her back, a woman not yielding to men, commanding the billions of armies of various clans with ease, her wisdom ancient and profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's been some trouble in the Wild Star Sea...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Heavens Shadow Clan member spoke respectfully, even with a hint of reverence in their eyes. Their words became hesitant, stammering, \"The border regions, the remnants of various clans cannot emerge...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingyou asked calmly, showing no sign of panic, \"Did the ancient immortal corpses cross the star sea as well? If so, that's not a wise move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...No...it's not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Heavens Shadow Clan member's expression changed slightly, taking a deep breath, \"They were blocked by two cultivators, and the border regions have turned into a dead sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One of them cleaved the border with an axe, causing the borderlands to sink a bit. The major forces of the heavenly regions were all shocked. The one who wielded the axe even declared that if anyone crossed into the Wild Star Sea... they would massacre the entire clan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, their expression twitched, their heart already in turmoil. Who was this peerless fiend that appeared out of nowhere?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those are the remnants of the myriad clans that once fought against the Ancient Human Clan during the Era of Great Slaughter, numbering in the tens of millions. You're telling me they were blocked by two cultivators and couldn't take a single step?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingyou's expression changed slightly, her voice exceptionally sharp, coldly rebuking, \"Are they immortals? If they can't even open this path, what right do they have to follow us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... they are Tribulation Crossing cultivators.\" The Nine Heavens Shadow Clan member swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having cultivated for many years, it was the first time they encountered something that made them feel so alarmed just by hearing about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to Leader Ye, they call themselves the World-Destroying Elder and Black Bull of Destruction...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing these names, Ye Qingyou felt as if her mind had been struck by a great bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her unparalleled demeanor finally showed signs of breaking, her expression changing drastically, her pupils contracting violently, as if recalling something unbelievable from years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing the World... Elder! Ximen Black Bull!\u003C\u002Fp>",1737,"2026-06-10T05:20:20.138Z",1,"novelbin.me","87b4afbf55e345ac961fc4e8981642a2f0e8d2e24ef3a9880e23b8f8aa2ef0f9","eternal-tale-chapter-798","eternal-tale-chapter-796",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-tale-cover.jpg"]
