Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Beyond the Primordial Immortal Realm, the once bustling chaotic void fell into utter silence. Even the faintest sounds of air currents colliding vanished, as if time itself had frozen into eternity. Only the occasional creaking of the Primordial Immortal Realm's barrier could be heard, like the newly formed world slowly repairing its cracks. Each tremor carried the rhythm of the self-healing laws of nature, exuding tenacious vitality. There was also the low, majestic hum of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Disc slowly rotating, like an ancient divine bell echoing deep within the void, its lingering sound resonating for a long time, shaking everything around it.

Deep within the chaos, the immortal Golden Immortals, hidden in the shadows, stared in utter disbelief. Their divine senses, like solidified steel needles, were fixed on the rotating Yin-Yang Heavenly Disc, their eyes filled with incredulous horror. Those were five Rank 3 Golden Immortals! Among them, Ancestor Dark Demon was a late-stage Rank 3 Golden Immortal, a formidable figure within the Ink Shadow Abyss, yet he had been easily subdued by that immortal artifact, without even a shred of respectable resistance. This scene was like a bizarre nightmare, leaving them speechless, their immortal bodies stiffening slightly from the extreme shock.

"receive!"

Within the Primordial Immortal Realm, Su Mo's thoughts stirred, and the Yin-Yang Heavenly Disc and the Floating Golden Pagoda trembled simultaneously, transforming into two streams of light—one interwoven with Yin and Yang, the other dazzling as gold—which disappeared into his long sleeves. The oppressive aura above the Immortal Realm suddenly subsided, but this only made the Golden Immortals in the shadows tense, as if the calm before the storm concealed a deeper crisis.

The next second...

Su Mo's gaze slowly shifted, his chilling eyes seemingly able to pierce through all illusions, traverse the vast chaos, and precisely sweep over every corner where an immortal golden immortal might be hidden. Whether concealed in the core of the void, hidden in the shadows of the river of time, or merged into the shadows of chaos, all were locked onto by this gaze, leaving no place to hide.

Wherever his gaze fell, all the immortal Golden Immortals, from the remaining third-rank Golden Immortals to the newly ascended first-rank Golden Immortals, involuntarily lowered their usually arrogant heads, not even daring to meet Su Mo's gaze with their divine senses, as if his gaze carried a soul-burning, bone-corroding power. Their hearts leaped into their throats, their immortal souls trembled, and even the power to circulate the Great Dao became sluggish, as if trapped in a quagmire.

"This... he wouldn't be planning to wipe us all out too, would he?" A timid Golden Immortal cried out in his heart, his divine senses trembling with sobs, his immortal body trembling slightly with fear.

At this moment, the immortal golden immortals truly understood what it meant for each second to feel like an eternity. Every second, every breath, felt like enduring an entire cosmic era, with even the flow of chaotic energy slowing down considerably. Although Su Mo no longer released any pressure, the invisible oppression was like a mountain pressing down on them, making them almost unable to stand. Fine beads of immortal sweat seeped from the skin beneath their immortal armor, soaking their robes.

If this mysterious expert truly intended to harm them, even if they used all their strength, they would have absolutely no chance of winning and would only end up like Xuan Kui, An Xiao, and the others.

If only they had known this would happen, they shouldn't have come to watch the spectacle out of curiosity! Many Golden Immortals were filled with remorse, wishing they could slap themselves a few times.

Why did you have to get involved in all this? Now look what happened, you've lost your life.

Time passed slowly amidst the unease of the immortal golden immortals. A full quarter of an hour later, just as some were about to collapse from mental exhaustion, Su Mo finally withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to the Hongmeng Immortal Realm, as if that glance had been merely a casual sweep.

"call......"

Instantly, a unified exhale echoed from the depths of chaos, as if the turbid air that had been suppressed for thousands of years was finally being released. The hearts of the immortal golden immortals, which had been hanging in suspense, were relieved by more than half. Their backs were already soaked with immortal sweat, and even their immortal armor and robes clung to their bodies, outlining their taut contours.

Immediately afterwards, as if they had made a prior agreement, without exchanging a word, they turned around in unison, tearing through space with all their might, and sped off in a direction far away from the Primordial Immortal Realm. They fled faster than rabbits, not even daring to look back, fearing that if they were a step too late, the fiend would change his mind and leave them behind forever, becoming new "collections" in the Yin-Yang Heavenly Disc.

In just a few breaths, the chaotic void that had originally concealed dozens of immortal golden immortals became empty, leaving only the Hongmeng Immortal Domain quietly suspended in the dark chaos. The cracks on the barrier were slowly healing at a visible speed under the nourishment of the Hongmeng rules, as if the thrilling battle had never happened.

In the center of the Immortal Realm, Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back, watching the fleeing figures with a hint of indifference in his eyes. The purpose of making an example of them had been achieved; for the time being, no one else should dare to disturb his peace.

next moment......

Su Mo raised his hand and waved, and the power of the Primordial Dao surged out again, pouring into the Immortal Realm barrier. The cracks repaired at an even faster speed, eventually disappearing completely. The light barrier became whole and resilient again, protecting this newly born world tightly, preventing even a trace of chaotic energy from seeping in.

Then, Su Mo's mind stirred, and ripples spread through the void beneath his feet. The power of the Primordial Dao within him surged forth like a spring, falling into the void and transforming into countless chaotic threads. These threads intertwined and coiled, weaving the rudiments of a world at a speed visible to the naked eye—

First came the earth, thick, yellowish-brown rock layers rising from the void, stacked upon each other like jade sculpted by a giant axe, their surfaces flowing with a dark golden luster in accordance with the primordial earth element. Every inch of this land contained the weight of bearing all things. The mountains rose and fell with the earth, some like dragons lying in slumber, their ridgelines outlining a majestic arc, hinting at the dragon's might; others like sharp swords piercing the sky, their peaks piercing the newly opened heavens, shrouded in a faint, spiritual mist, as if inhabited by immortals.

Then rivers were born, the power of primordial water transforming into silver chains that meandered through the valleys. Sometimes they surged like galloping horses, the roar of crashing against rocks echoing in the silence, stirring up a cloud of water vapor; other times they flowed gently like silk, the water crystal clear, reflecting the newly born sky. At the bottom of the river, fine fragments of chaotic crystals settled, refracting seven colors of light, like scattered stars, a breathtaking sight.

The sky slowly took shape, a pale blue dome covering the earth, its edges meeting the barrier of the immortal realm, shimmering with a soft halo, as if countless stars were being nurtured within it. The phantoms of the sun, moon, and stars flickered in the celestial canopy, not yet fully condensed, yet already revealing the rhythm of day and night, giving this world a measure of time, the immortal energy rising and falling like tides with the flow of day and night.

Finally, vegetation sprouted. The Primordial Wood Element rules showered down green rain, and instantly, countless tender buds emerged from the earth. These buds grew tall and strong, transforming into towering ancient trees. As their branches and leaves unfurled, spiritual energy flowed through their veins, blossoming into wondrous flowers of vibrant colors, emitting a captivating fragrance. A spiritual breeze swept through the forest, rustling the leaves and infusing this newly born world with vitality.

In just a few breaths, a world spanning tens of millions of light-years took shape beneath Su Mo's feet, displaying a myriad of magnificent phenomena.

At the center of the world, a palace built entirely of chaotic crystal rose from the ground. The palace was majestic and towered into the clouds, its upturned eaves like a soaring eagle spreading its wings, as if about to take flight. The roof was covered with golden glazed tiles, which reflected a dazzling light under the dim sky, shimmering and colorful. Wind chimes made of primordial rules hung from the eaves, moving automatically without wind and emitting clear and melodious sounds. Each tremor cleansed the surrounding spiritual energy, making the air even purer. Above the palace gate stood a plaque inscribed with the two characters "Primordial Chaos," the characters were vigorous and ancient, as if they had evolved directly from the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, mysterious and unfathomable, containing the ultimate principles of creation.

"Next, we just have to wait for all the avatars to refine that Ancestor of Meditation."

As he spoke, Su Mo moved as if treading on a cloud in the void, stepping into the Hongmeng Immortal Palace. The palace doors slowly closed behind him, making a dull sound, completely isolating the chaos outside from the tranquility inside, leaving only a magnificent palace standing in the center of the world, guarding this new world.

......

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, millions of years have passed.

The news of Su Mo easily suppressing five Rank 3 Golden Immortals spread like wildfire throughout the entire Mo Ying Abyss, even threatening to sweep across the entire Void Star Abyss. Countless Golden Immortals, upon hearing this, were either shocked, fearful, or secretly pondering its implications—

"A mere First-Rank Golden Immortal possessing a Sixth-Rank Immortal Artifact—this young man is likely no ordinary being. The key to breaking this deadlock might very well lie with him..."
