Chapter 982 Continuous Self-Destruction
The top floor of Wanbao Hall.
A second-rank True Immortal, dressed in a gray-purple robe, had been standing silently in the corner, but suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a barely perceptible fear that pierced the silence like an ice pick.
Before the words had even finished, they were like a bombshell dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves in everyone's hearts. Yes, if that person could replace Hei Xiao and Hei Yan without anyone noticing, why couldn't he do it to others? Are all the True Immortal Ancestors present necessarily "themselves"? This thought burrowed into everyone's hearts like a venomous snake, stirring up a sense of unease.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became so heavy it was almost palpable. Even breathing became cautious, as if the slightest movement would ignite some kind of terror. The True Immortals who had been standing side by side subconsciously widened the distance between them. Their gazes were no longer those of kinsmen, but rather held scrutiny and vigilance. The True Immortal power around them flowed silently like an undercurrent, ready to deal with any unforeseen event. Even the air itself was filled with a silent sense of preparedness.
In particular, Hei Ming, Hei Yun, and Hei Ya, the three First-Rank True Immortals, became the focus of everyone's attention. Their cultivation levels were the lowest among those present, especially Hei Ming and Hei Yun, who were inferior to Hei Xiao, a late-stage First-Rank True Immortal. If anyone was most likely to be quietly replaced, it would be these three.
Black Cloud Ancestor subconsciously adjusted his sleeves, while Black Nether Ancestor frowned, a faint black mist rising around him, as if to ward off suspicious gazes or to conceal something, his expression becoming increasingly suspicious.
Seeing this, Hei Xuanzhenxian's heart sank little by little. The chaotic energy at his fingertips became completely disordered. This ancestor of the Obsidian Clan, who had lived for thousands of cosmic eras, knew better than anyone else that this guess was by no means unfounded. If there is one, there will be two.
"Everyone, stay where you are and don't move."
The voice of the Black Profound Immortal suddenly became majestic, carrying an unquestionable tone of command, like an invisible shackle that locked the air in the hall.
As soon as the words were spoken, the hall fell silent. Even the air seemed to stop flowing, and only the heartbeats of the immortals became clearer.
Then, Hei Xuan Zhenxian's gaze fell on Hei Ming Zhenxian first. His eyes suddenly lit up, and countless profound rules and divine runes flickered and disappeared in his pupils, like a working Great Dao Codex, interwoven into a net, carrying a terrifying power to probe the origin of the soul, as if to see through Hei Ming Zhenxian from his physical body to his soul, from his cultivation foundation to his innate laws, inside and out, so that no disguise could be hidden from these all-seeing eyes.
......
Yunlong Immortal City, Jiuling Manor, a quiet cultivation room.
The flow of time, four thousand times faster than the outside world, was like an invisible tide, enveloping the entire quiet room. This made the primordial immortal energy in the air more than a thousand times denser than outside, condensing into a visible mist that flowed like a galaxy in the light and shadow.
Su Mo sat cross-legged on the immortal artifact futon, his eyes closed. His aura was as deep as an ancient well, yet it was slowly and steadily rising. The trillions of cells in his body were gradually expanding outwards at a steady pace. Each pulse resonated with the primordial immortal energy in the quiet room, emitting a subtle hum.
Suddenly, Su Mo opened his tightly closed eyes, a glint of light flashing in them before a hint of helplessness crossed his gaze. He tapped his fingertips lightly and muttered to himself, "As expected, it's still hard to hide it."
Four hundred billion years of time in the outside world quietly slipped by for over a hundred eons in this quiet room with a flow rate four thousand times faster. His cultivation had made considerable progress, but he was still quite a distance from the second level of the Primordial Boundless True Immortal Scripture, and his strength had not yet experienced a qualitative leap.
Even though his illusory body disguise technique was extremely profound, it was already the limit for him to deceive a fourth-grade True Immortal. The possibility of him getting past the detection of a fifth-grade True Immortal like Hei Xuan was extremely slim.
"So be it! I can afford to lose three illusory spirit bodies!" Su Mo sighed leisurely, but his fingertips suddenly tightened, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. The primordial immortal energy around him suddenly became violent, like a volcano about to erupt. "However, the Obsidian Clan, you won't have an easy time either!"
Almost the instant his words fell—
On the top floor of the Myriad Treasures Hall on the Obsidian Continent, under the gaze of the Black Profound True Immortal's eyes, which reflected countless divine runes of rules, the Black Netherworld True Immortal's body rapidly expanded like an inflated balloon! The black mist around him instantly turned scarlet, as viscous as blood, and a terrifying aura that made even a fourth-grade True Immortal tremble suddenly radiated outwards, carrying a resolute determination to destroy everything, forcing the surrounding True Immortals to retreat one after another, their protective immortal light rippled, and they were on the verge of collapse.
"Damn it! This Black Mist has indeed been suppressed and replaced by that mysterious True Immortal!" Old Ancestor Black Spring shouted angrily, his gray mist surging into a shield, his eyes filled with shock and rage.
This scene, this aura before the self-destruction, is exactly the same as the scene when the mysterious incarnation in the Black Dragon Palace self-destructed 40 billion years ago!
"Trying to self-destruct? Have you even asked me first?!"
Black Profound Immortal sneered, his eyes suddenly blazing with divine runes. Four hundred billion years ago, he had been tricked by that mysterious immortal, causing his immortal avatar to successfully self-destruct. This time, how could he be completely unprepared?
"Mysterious Heart Immortal Seal, grant me this seal!"
With a low shout, Hei Xuan Zhenxian pointed his fingers like a sword, and the chaotic energy at his fingertips suddenly gathered. An ancient black immortal seal appeared above Hei Ming Zhenxian, densely covered with runes that suppressed the soul. As soon as it appeared, it brought with it the power to shatter the heavens and earth, and smashed down hard on the expanding Hei Ming Zhenxian!
It was his most precious treasure, a fifth-grade true immortal artifact—the Mysterious Heart Immortal Seal.
"Boom..."
The moment the Profound Heart Immortal Seal collided with the force of the self-destruction, the entire top floor of the Myriad Treasures Hall trembled violently, and countless tiny cracks were torn open in space. The Black Nether True Immortal's swollen body was gripped as if by an invisible giant hand, and it actually shrank inch by inch under the pressure of the Profound Heart Immortal Seal. The terrifying aura that was about to erupt was forcibly locked within his body, emitting a muffled rumble, but it could not break through the shackles and was firmly suppressed.
"puff......"
The Black Sea Immortal suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and the scarlet mist instantly dissipated, revealing a face twisted in pain.
"Let me see who you really are, daring to scheme against my Obsidian Clan time and time again!"
Black Mystic True Immortal's face was as cold as ancient ice, and his voice was so cold it could crack crystal. As he spoke, the overwhelming divine power of a fifth-grade True Immortal surged out from his sea of consciousness, like an invisible giant axe. With a "crack," it tore through the crystal wall of Black Mystic True Immortal's sea of consciousness, and with an overwhelming force, it pounced on his soul.
"Our ancestor is mighty!" The Black Spring Ancestor and the other True Immortal Ancestors were invigorated, their eyes flashing with ruthlessness, and they all grinned maliciously. "How dare he scheme against my Obsidian Clan! He will pay a bloody price!"
Just as the Black Profound Immortal's divine sense was about to touch that wisp of disguised divine soul—
"Boom..."
Two terrifying auras, enough to make even a fourth-grade True Immortal tremble, suddenly rose from both sides of the main hall! The bodies of Black Cloud Ancestor and Black Slug Ancestor swelled simultaneously, their immortal light distorting, a sign of self-destruction!
"Not good! Hei Yun and Hei Ya have also been suppressed and replaced by that scoundrel!" Hei Xuan Zhenxian's expression changed drastically, and alarm bells rang in his heart. He couldn't care less about continuing to search Hei Ming's soul and hurriedly struck back at the two. However, his attention had been entirely on Hei Ming before, so how could this hastily struck palm suppress two beings who were infinitely close to the third-grade Zhenxian at the same time?
"Om..."
The self-destruction power of Hei Yun and Hei Yu directly merged into a mysterious formation, transforming into a terrifying force comparable to a fifth-grade True Immortal. Like a black dragon, it instantly shattered the aftershocks of Hei Xuan True Immortal's palm strike, carrying a destructive aura as it charged towards the surrounding Black Spring Ancestor and others!
"Defend immediately!" The Black Spring Ancestor was terrified, hastily summoning his natal immortal artifact, the "Gray Mist Mystic Shield." The runes on the shield flashed brightly, but it trembled violently under the combined impact, emitting a groan of unbearable strain. The other immortals also hurriedly summoned their own immortal artifacts for protection, but their hasty defenses were riddled with holes—
"Poof!" "Poof!"
Two fourth-grade True Immortals and three third-grade True Immortals simultaneously groaned, spitting out golden immortal blood—a sign of damage to their True Immortal essence. Their protective immortal artifacts were covered in cracks, their spiritual light dimmed, and their aura instantly weakened; they were sent flying backward, crashing into the wall.
The three second-grade True Immortals, including the Black Abyss Ancestor, fared even worse. Their immortal bodies were as if struck by a heavy hammer, covered with spiderweb-like cracks. They were sent flying like shattered porcelain, crashing into the ice wall and sliding to the ground, unable to move.
Strange forces of rule, like maggots clinging to bones, clung tightly to the cracks, constantly eroding their immortal foundations, making it impossible for the injuries to heal, leaving them only able to watch helplessly as their immortal bodies gradually decayed.
Before everyone could recover from the shock, another deafening roar echoed throughout the Wanbao Hall—without the full support of Hei Xuan Zhenxian, the power of Fang Xuanxin Immortal Seal plummeted, the runes dimmed, and it could no longer suppress the self-destruction power within Hei Ming's body!
"Boom..."
The third shockwave from the self-destruction exploded, even more violent than the first two, with black energy waves sweeping across the entire top floor. The five already injured third and fourth-grade True Immortals, including the Black Spring Ancestor, were once again thrown back, crashing into the pillars and sliding down. Their auras weakened at a visible speed, immortal blood gushing from the corners of their mouths, and they could barely stand, looking utterly disheveled.
The three second-rank True Immortals, including the Black Abyss Ancestor, could no longer withstand their shattered immortal bodies. With a few "cracks," they completely collapsed, turning into countless fragments of light. Only their souls remained, emitting mournful howls under the burning power of the rules. They did not even have the power to reshape their immortal bodies and could only slowly dissipate in pain.
"No...save me! Ancestor, save me!"
