Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Chapter 1081 This road is blocked, go back

Zi Yuan Jin Xian's expression changed drastically. His previously composed face was instantly covered by horror and deep regret, which spread like a deadly poison through his meridians, almost corroding his unyielding Dao heart. He roared suddenly, his voice booming like thunder, shaking the deck of the immortal ship and even causing the inlaid immortal gold to splinter into tiny sparks: "Fellow Daoists, quickly, follow me and act immediately to block it!"

Before he finished speaking, the starlight around him surged like a blazing sun, and countless illusory stars appeared and rotated behind him. The Big Dipper, the Southern Dipper, the Purple Star, and other star fields spread out in the void, instantly transforming into a dazzling star curtain spanning countless ages.

Immediately afterwards, his natal immortal artifact—the second-grade immortal artifact "Starry Sky Shield"—suddenly appeared in front of him. The star map engraved on the shield surface spun rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The handle of the Big Dipper pointed to the sky like a sharp sword, and the imperial star of the Purple Palace exuded the majesty to suppress the four seas. The entire shield burst out with a heavy pressure that could withstand the full force of a third-grade Golden Immortal's attack, attempting to erect an indestructible defensive barrier in front of the immortal ship and block the overwhelming array power outside.

Upon hearing this, the eight Golden Immortals, including Xuanzhen Golden Immortal, also realized that this was no time for regret. If they could not withstand the encirclement and killing by these immortal immortal formations, they would probably really perish in this chaos today, without even the chance of reincarnation.

Almost simultaneously, eight dazzling rays of light exploded on the deck. The eight Golden Immortals, including Xuanzhen Golden Immortal, made their moves together, and one after another, immortal artifacts tore through the void and appeared out of nowhere. Thousands of rays of light soared into the sky, and thousands of layers of Daoist rhyme penetrated the chaos. The entire silver light immortal ship was instantly enveloped by an immortal aura so dense that it seemed to have become a mobile immortal treasure trove.

Xuanzhen Golden Immortal formed hand seals, and the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram in his eyes suddenly flew out, transforming into a black and white interwoven "Two Elements Mirror." Wherever the mirror's light touched, time and space seemed to reverse, attempting to refract the power of the array. Burning Heaven Golden Immortal slammed the black flames in his palm into the void, and a "Burning Heaven Cauldron" burning with ghostly flames suddenly appeared. The cauldron spewed out towering flames, forming a wall of fire that scorched the overwhelming pressure of the array. Beside Azure Cloud Golden Immortal, the jade dragon let out a deafening roar, transforming into a shimmering azure "Azure Dragon Sword." The scales on the sword transformed into countless sword energies, shredding the golden chains binding the immortal ship...

At this moment, no one dared to hold back; they all unleashed their most trump cards. The Golden Immortal of the Cavern Realm unleashed the "Spirit-Devouring Banner," its surface churning with black mist that transformed into gigantic maws, attempting to devour the immortal power within the formation. The Five Elements Golden Immortals, clad in five-colored divine armor, erupted with five divine lights—azure, crimson, yellow, white, and black—weaving into a five-colored divine shield, as tough as immortal divine metal, forcefully resisting the cutting patterns of the formation. Even more powerful Golden Immortals directly burned the essence of their immortal artifacts, unleashing power far exceeding their usual might, resulting in a temporary surge in strength…

In an instant, nine powerful immortal forces intertwined, colliding and annihilating with the array forces outside, unleashing a world-destroying energy shock. The chaotic energy flow was shaken and surged in all directions, forming a massive energy storm that even caused ripples in the sealed spacetime.

"Block it! You must block it!"

Zi Yuan Jin Xian roared through gritted teeth, his voice hoarse from the exertion, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth. He stared intently at the spreading cracks on the Starry Sky Shield, his eyes surging with unspeakable panic—in just one exchange, his natal immortal artifact, capable of withstanding a blow from a third-grade Golden Immortal, was already on the verge of shattering. The immortal power surging from the formation was like a raging sea, far exceeding his expectations. The immense pressure felt as if hundreds of immortal Golden Immortals were exerting their power simultaneously, each force carrying a brutal, all-crushing force.

The faces of the first-rank Golden Immortals, such as Xuanzhen Golden Immortal, were ashen, their eyes filled with fear and despair.

"A trap! This has all been a conspiracy against us from beginning to end!" The Nine Heavens Golden Immortal roared in despair, his voice chilling to the bone, like ice water poured over everyone's hearts. A year of arduous struggle, unable to withstand the power of the source, helplessly branded... it was all a lie! From start to finish, it was a meticulously crafted deception; the mysterious immortal was putting on an act for them!

How could the opponent, who could so easily summon so many immortal Golden Immortals, be merely a first-grade perfect Golden Immortal? He must be at least a second-grade, or even a third or fourth-grade Golden Immortal! With the power of the nine Golden Immortals, how could they possibly implant a primordial imprint on a second-grade or higher Golden Immortal across endless space and time? It was simply a pipe dream. They couldn't even touch the window paper, let alone get through it! They were like a group of monkeys being toyed with, jumping step by step into the deep pit that the opponent had dug.

Despair, like a cold tide, overwhelmed the hearts of the Golden Immortals, devouring their will. The flames of the Burning Heaven Cauldron of the Burning Heaven Golden Immortal had shrunk by more than half, and the cauldron body was squeezed by the power of the formation, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain. He looked at the array patterns around him that were tightening all the time, and the golden blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth tasted bitter, the taste of a dead heart.

"Everyone, hurry! Burn your immortal essence and push the Silver Light Immortal Ship with all your might. Only then will we have a chance to survive!" The Azure Cloud Golden Immortal suddenly shouted, his voice like thunder in the ears of the other eight Golden Immortals, tearing apart the deathly silence of despair.

As he spoke, the immortal essence within Qingyun Golden Immortal's body suddenly erupted with dazzling immortal light. The light burned wildly like lamp oil being lit, even dyeing his hair with golden flames. A power far exceeding that of usual surged from his body, flowing into the silver-light immortal boat like a rushing river, causing the boat to tremble slightly and its speed to increase slightly. The star-phoenix statue at the bow of the boat regained its faint light.

"Yes! By burning the immortal essence, we still have hope!" The hearts of Xuanzhen Golden Immortal and the other Golden Immortals were suddenly shaken. It was as if a crack had been torn open in the darkness of despair, revealing a faint but burning light of hope.

If they can break through these layers of immortal formations and return to their respective immortal realms, they might still have a chance to turn the tide with the power of their immortal realms!

As for the consequences of burning a large amount of immortal essence—a sharp drop in cultivation, damage to the Dao foundation, and even the possibility of falling out of the immortal realm… they couldn't care less. Their lives were in danger; what future could they possibly talk about?

In an instant, the eight Golden Immortals, including Ziyuan Golden Immortal, simultaneously unleashed their immortal essence within their bodies.

"boom......"

Nine dazzling rays of light erupted from their bodies, like nine fleeting yet intense stars, illuminating the entire silver-light immortal ship as if it were daytime. The starlight surrounding the Purple Origin Golden Immortal suddenly surged, and the cracks on the Starry Sky Shield temporarily ceased spreading; the Profound True Golden Immortal's Yin-Yang Mirror lit up again, the black and white energies intertwining to create an even richer halo; the Burning Heaven Golden Immortal's Burning Heaven Cauldron flames rose once more, the Netherworld Ghost Fire even containing a trace of primordial fire…

"Charge!" Zi Yuan Jin Xian roared, his eyes burning with madness and determination, his eyeballs bloodshot, and his whole being exuding a ruthless spirit of mutual destruction.

Like a ignited silver meteor, the Silver Light Immortal Ship, trailing a long tail of light, tore through the chaotic air currents ahead and charged fiercely toward an area where the array energy was relatively weak.

The ship's hull rubbed against the array patterns, sparking countless sparks, like a grand yet tragic fireworks display. Every inch of the ship groaned in pain, yet it still carried an indomitable spirit.

......

The Silver Light Immortal Ship will arrive millions of years later.

Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back amidst the chaos. His previously deathly pale face had returned to normal, his expression calm and undisturbed. The primordial Dao aura around him flowed gently like water, and his aura was as steady as a mountain, making him a completely different person from his previous severely injured state. He gazed at the silver-light immortal ship charging ahead, constantly breaking through the blockades of the immortal arrays, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he sneered, "Trying to break through at this point? Wishful thinking!"

As he spoke, Su Mo waved his hand sharply, and his divine sense, like an invisible command, instantly spread throughout the entire chaos.

"Boom..."

The chaotic void trembled suddenly, as if an ancient behemoth had awakened from its slumber. The void in front of the silver-light immortal ship twisted violently, and thirty-six imposing figures clad in battle armor appeared out of thin air. Each figure exuded an earth-shattering aura; these were Su Mo's illusory spiritual bodies. Terrifying pressures of second-grade Golden Immortals radiated from them, converging like a tsunami and crashing down upon the silver-light immortal ship.

An invisible pressure descended instantly, and the Silver Light Immortal Ship was like a mortal stuck in a quagmire. Its originally rapid momentum suddenly stopped, and its speed plummeted to 30% of what it was before. The ship even began to sink slightly, and most of the star runes on the deck dimmed, emitting a hum that could not bear the burden.

"Thirty-six... thirty-six Immortal Golden Immortals, all of them second-rank Golden Immortals..." Zi Yuan Golden Immortal's pupils shrank, and he cried out in shock, his voice filled with unprecedented fear, his teeth chattering. The glimmer of hope that had just been torn open in his heart was instantly swallowed up by an even deeper darkness, leaving not a trace of light.

Thirty-six second-grade Golden Immortals! This power far surpasses that of the nine Golden Immortals. Moreover, these thirty-six immortal Golden Immortals also have the advantage of being in a favorable position, connected with the surrounding immortal array, making them even more powerful.

at this time……

A deep, resonant voice, as if from the heavens above, echoed through the void, carrying an unparalleled majesty that suppressed everything: "The Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals Demon-Subduing Formation, activate!"

The thirty-six illusory spirit bodies moved swiftly, instantly taking their positions according to a mysterious orientation, their auras intertwined, forming a massive array. Immediately afterward, thirty-six illusory figures of celestial demon gods, each tens of thousands of eons in size, appeared behind them, with blue faces and fangs, wielding various divine weapons, radiating a ferocious aura that suppressed eternity.

"The celestial forces share the same origin, and gods and demons are united!"

Another resounding voice of the Great Dao echoed through the chaos. The thirty-six illusory images of the Heavenly Gang Demon Gods suddenly shrank and merged, transforming into a supreme demon god towering over a million eons in size. This demon god possessed a single horn on its head, eyes like two blood moons, and its body was covered in black scales. Twelve pairs of wings, capable of blotting out the sky, sprouted from its back. A terrifying aura, enough to make even a third-rank Golden Immortal tremble, rose from its body, causing the immortal light surrounding the silver-light immortal boat to dim at a visible speed, and even the chaotic air currents to stagnate.

"This road is blocked. Get back here!"

A booming, resounding voice emanated from the supreme demon god, causing the silver-light immortal ship to shake violently. The nine golden immortals' blood surged, and they nearly lost their footing. Immediately afterward, the demon god raised its colossal hand, which blotted out the sky, and with terrifying power capable of crushing time and space and shattering the Great Dao, it slammed down towards the silver-light immortal ship.

Before the palm strike even arrived, the remaining defensive array around the Silver Light Immortal Ship crumbled inch by inch, emitting a piercing cracking sound. The terrifying power, comparable to that of a third-grade Golden Immortal, pressed down like Mount Tai, slamming heavily onto the Silver Light Immortal Ship with a loud "bang."

"Boom..."

With a deafening roar, the ship's hull warped violently, countless star runes vanished, and half of the star phoenix statue at the bow crumbled. Under this irresistible force, the silver-light immortal ship was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the center of the immortal array behind it, stirring up a sky full of array patterns and brilliance, like fireworks exploding.

"Ah pfft..."

The nine Golden Immortals, including Zi Yuan Jin Xian, simultaneously spat out a mouthful of golden blood, their auras instantly weakening. The Starry Sky Shield shattered completely, the Yin-Yang Mirror turned to ashes, and the Burning Heaven Cauldron was dented by the blow... The power they had gained by burning their very essence was completely wiped out by this single palm strike.

Despair, like a malignant tumor, completely gnawed away their last hope, leaving only endless gloom in their eyes.
