Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Within the ruins of the Primordial Immortal Realm, the chaotic energy surged violently due to the fierce battle between the two Immortal Kings, forming bottomless energy vortexes. At the center of each vortex, a ghostly light capable of destroying everything flickered. Below the level of an Immortal King, even a ninth-tier Quasi-Immortal King who dared to approach would, within a short time, have their immortal body torn to shreds and their immortal soul severely injured by the violent energy surge.

Suddenly, the attack of Immortal King Yuan Jin, who was frantically slashing at the illusory body of the spirit, paused slightly. The force of the divine axe hitting the Hongmeng Barrier was reduced by half, and the roar of the axe blade colliding with the barrier was weakened by three points.

His brow furrowed, forming a deep furrow, and a faint unease rose in his heart. As the ruler of the Yuanjin Immortal Kingdom, he had everything under his control, and he was too lazy to pay attention to ordinary commotions. But the commotion caused by Wuwang Tianyuan was like a thunderclap in his heart, and it could not be hidden from his ears and eyes.

"No...no, I'm overthinking it, I must be imagining things." Immortal King Yuan Jin shook his head violently, trying to dispel the ominous premonition. "If this person really had something to hide, how could he have been suppressed by me for so long without even the power to fight back? It must be one of his subordinates who killed Ancestor Wuwang, yes, that must be it..."

Once this thought arose, it immediately took root in Immortal King Yuan Jin's heart like a vine, growing wildly. For a dignified Eternal Immortal King, keeping some Quasi-Immortal Kings as subordinates was perfectly normal.

The next second...

Immortal King Yuan Jin's expression suddenly turned cold, the crimson in his eyes intensifying. A raging rage erupted within him like a volcano dormant for millions of years. He stared intently at the illusory body of the spirit, as if he wanted to devour it whole. The spirit was already at a complete disadvantage, left only with the ability to parry and utterly powerless to retaliate, yet it dared to have its subordinates kill one of his ninth-tier quasi-immortal kings. This was blatant provocation, a brutal trampling on his face, showing absolutely no regard for him, an immortal king.

"You wretched child, you've gone too far!"

A furious roar, like a thunderclap from the chaos, shook the surrounding trillions of cosmic years of chaotic energy. The primordial essence of the immortal kingdom within the Yuan Jin Immortal King erupted once more without reservation, and the illusory image of the trillions upon trillions of cosmic years of territory behind him became increasingly solid. Even the trillions upon trillions of people within the immortal kingdom seemed to hear his roar, and the power of faith surged into his body like a tsunami, causing his aura to reach new heights.

Then, the golden light of the Origin Divine Axe in his hand surged, and the imperial runes on the axe blade danced wildly, like countless golden insects crawling. The attack instantly became three times more ferocious, and each axe blow carried the brutality of "blood for blood." The golden axe shadows layered upon each other, weaving a world-destroying net in the chaos, determined to shatter the primordial barrier in front of the Spirit Illusionary Body into dust.

Nine golden dragons, symbolizing the nation's destiny, roared wildly, their cries resonating even in the chaos. Their scales shimmered with an immortal luster amidst the golden light, and countless claw marks appeared on their claws, tearing through the rules of immortality. Before the claws even arrived, the void was already ripped with dark cracks. The dragon's breath transformed into golden flames that incinerated everything, containing the power of the immortal kingdom's laws. Like nine golden rivers, they frantically crashed against the primordial barrier, determined to tear a gap in the illusory body's defenses and utterly crush this "despicable scoundrel" hiding behind the barrier, annihilating his soul and spirit!

......

Outside the Yuanjin Immortal Kingdom, within the boundless Yuanxu Sea, chaotic currents surged like raging waves, creating energy waves hundreds of millions of miles high. Countless fragments of disordered rules floated and sank within them, like sharp blades. All light was torn into distorted lines, and even time itself became viscous and chaotic, as if a second could be stretched into an entire epoch.

Compared to the Yuanxu Sea within the Yuanjin Immortal Kingdom, where the will of the Immortal Kingdom suppresses the various star abysses, the danger here is more than a thousand times, ten thousand times greater—it's like comparing heaven and earth. Within the Immortal Kingdom, those whose cultivation reaches the Immortal Realm are qualified to break through the star abysses and venture into the Yuanxu Sea; but outside the Immortal Kingdom, even a seventh-grade Golden Immortal is barely qualified to step onto the edge, and even a ninth-grade Golden Immortal, if slightly careless, will end up with their soul scattered, leaving not even a trace of their true spirit behind.

At this moment, near the Yuanjin Immortal Kingdom, within a chaotic current of rules that even a third-tier Quasi-Immortal King dared not easily set foot in, a world stood at the center of the chaotic current of rules, surrounded by a faint yet tenacious primordial spiritual light, like a thin veil enveloping the entire world. No matter how the external storms of rules impacted it, it remained as stable as a rock, standing firm, like a sharp thorn deeply embedded in the Yuanxu Sea, exuding an inviolable sharpness.

At the center of the world, a celestial palace rises abruptly from the ground, like a jade pillar piercing the clouds. The palace walls are forged from a mixture of chaotic refined gold and primordial purple energy, radiating a restrained yet profound luster, as if containing the mysteries of the beginning of chaos. The surrounding area is shrouded in a faint primordial purple energy, within which one can vaguely see the Dao patterns of creation slowly flowing. The palace's eaves, carved beams, jade pillars... all bear a striking resemblance to the primordial celestial palace that perished 280,000 years ago, only more exquisite in scale, and imbued with a sense of tranquility and restraint born of past calamities.

Deep within the celestial palace, in a celestial hall called the "Hongmeng Hall," Su Mo sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. Streams of primordial spiritual light, like spirit dragons, roamed and weaved within the hall, sometimes transforming into Dao patterns that left mysterious trails in the air, and sometimes condensing into points of light that merged into his body, illuminating the entire hall with a purple aura and flowing Daoist charm.

Su Mo slowly opened his eyes, a purple-gold divine light flashing in them, like lightning piercing through chaos. He looked at the attribute panel floating in front of him, where the nearly thousand units of Immortal True Spirit value radiated an alluring glow.

Su Mo couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, and even his eyes became burning. A ninth-order quasi-immortal king is a ninth-order quasi-immortal king, far superior to a seventh-order quasi-immortal king like the Dark Ruins Immortal Lord.

At this moment, Su Mo seemed to see an eleventh-grade Golden Immortal beckoning to him.

"Old man Yuan Jin, you've suppressed me for so long, your good days are about to end."

Su Mo slightly raised his head, his eyes blazing with a purple-gold divine light that nearly shattered the Immortal Palace. Then, with a thought, his divine sense, like a bolt of purple lightning traversing the chaos, instantly crossed a distance of trillions of eons, directly merging into the immortal soul of the illusory spirit within the ruins of the Primordial Immortal Realm. Looking at the Yuan Jin Immortal King still frantically wielding his axe, a cold, sinister smile curled at the corner of his lips. The forbearance and killing intent accumulated over 280,000 years within that smile now transformed into a chilling sharpness, as if it could cleave the entire chaos in two directions.

The next second...

Su Mo's voice boomed in his mind, carrying an undeniable determination: "Infuse the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Scripture!"

[You continued cultivating the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Scripture. After 2200000 cosmic eras, you successfully broke through the shackles, and your Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body reached the Ninth Grade Minor Completion Realm.]

[After 4500000 cosmic eras, the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body broke through to the ninth-grade Great Perfection realm.]

[After 7000000 cosmic eras, the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body successfully reached the Ninth Grade Perfection Realm]

......

Half a day later.

With 100 units of Immortal True Spirit consumed, Su Mo began to break through to the tenth grade of the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Body.

"boom......"

A colossal primordial power, more than ten times more terrifying than that of a ninth-tier quasi-Immortal King, appeared out of nowhere within Su Mo's body, like a chaotic beast awakening after slumbering for billions of years, frantically assaulting his immortal body. His body, originally comparable to a ninth-grade quasi-eternal immortal artifact, creaked under the onslaught of this power, as if it were about to be torn apart. The old Dao patterns on the surface of his bones shattered inch by inch, turning into specks of light that dissipated, only to be re-condensed at an even faster pace into denser and more profound primordial divine patterns. As the divine patterns flowed, the scene of the birth and death of chaos was faintly visible. An eternal intent, surpassing even immortality, emanated from his body, causing the surrounding primordial spiritual light to tremble and converge towards him.

......

One hour later.

The surging primordial purple energy around Su Mo receded like a tide, and the surging momentum subsided at an astonishing speed, eventually settling into his body. Only a faint purple-gold halo remained flowing on his body surface, seemingly calm, yet containing unfathomable power.

Then, he slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and the purple-gold divine light in his eyes was like two miniature chaotic stars, flashing with a clear understanding of all things.

"A tenth-rank Golden Immortal has been achieved!"

A deep voice echoed through the Immortal Palace, carrying a sigh of relief, but more so, the exhilaration of a breakthrough. Su Mo slowly raised his hand, his fingertips tracing the void, a subtle wisp of primordial energy dancing along with it. Seemingly effortless, it easily severed the immortal rules contained within the palace, leaving an eternal mark.

It truly is a realm that only unparalleled geniuses can break through. The gap between a tenth-grade Golden Immortal and a ninth-grade Golden Immortal, while not as vast as the chasm between a ninth-grade Golden Immortal and an Eternal Immortal King, is more than ten times larger than the gap between the ninth and eighth grades.

At this moment, even his true form alone exudes an aura that is already faintly comparable to a first-tier Eternal Immortal King. Once he synchronizes his cultivation, his Spirit Void Illusion Body cultivation will surely surpass that of the Yuan Jin Immortal King and reach the second-tier Eternal Immortal King level, or even higher.

"No rush. Let that old man Yuan Jin live for another hour. It won't be too late to settle accounts with him after my cultivation breaks through to the tenth-grade Golden Immortal!"
