"Om..."

Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, the mysterious sphere of light rippled slightly, spreading out in concentric circles, like a pebble thrown into the center of a lake. Countless insights into the Primordial Dao surged into Su Mo's sea of ​​consciousness like a flood bursting its banks—the mysteries of the creation and destruction of chaos, the brilliance of the singularity's eruption and the nothingness of its annihilation; the trajectory of the evolution of immortal rules, tracing the lineage from a single origin that branched into countless rules; and even more so, the truth of eternal immortality, containing a constant power that transcends the river of time...

These insights transformed into concrete Dao patterns, weaving into a dazzling sea of ​​stars in his sea of ​​consciousness. Each star was a Dao rune. In an instant, Su Mo entered a deep state of enlightenment. The primordial spiritual light around him automatically outlined the scene of the creation of heaven and earth, with the separation of pure and turbid energies and the first sprouting of all things vividly depicted.

At the center of his natal Immortal Realm, the Primordial Lotus floated silently, its tenth petal slowly unfurling. Brilliant Primordial Light burst forth from the gaps between the petals, like the first ray of light to pierce the heavens and earth, sweeping across the entire Immortal Realm. Wherever it passed, the immortal rules within the Immortal Realm, like refined steel, continuously transformed and perfected, causing the Immortal Realm's size to expand and grow, faintly revealing the magnificent potential of a nascent Immortal World.

Almost simultaneously, Su Mo's cultivation level soared like a rocket, his aura rising at a visible speed: Quasi-Tenth Grade Golden Immortal... Early Tenth Grade Golden Immortal... Mid Tenth Grade Golden Immortal... Late Tenth Grade Golden Immortal... Each breakthrough was accompanied by a qualitative change in the immortal power within his body, the primordial immortal power surging through his meridians, emitting a roar like a raging river.

......

One hour later.

Su Mo's cultivation had completely stabilized at the tenth-grade perfect Golden Immortal realm. A terrifying pressure emanated from his body, like an invisible giant hand, causing the entire Hongmeng Palace to tremble slightly. This pressure was so strong that it would make a ninth-grade Quasi-Immortal King despair—if a ninth-grade Quasi-Immortal King were to appear in the palace at this moment, they probably wouldn't even have the thought of resisting before being crushed to the ground, their immortal bodies shattered, unable to move, and only able to await their demise in despair.

The next second...

The terrifying pressure that had enveloped the entire Hongmeng Palace receded like a tide, vanishing without a trace, as if everything before had been nothing but an illusion. Su Mo slowly opened his eyes, and within them, two miniature Hongmeng realms alternated in existence, with the chaotic and turbid energies rising and falling beneath them. Sometimes they transformed into swirling nebulae, and sometimes they condensed into interwoven rules, as if concealing two independently operating immortal realms, so profound that it was unsettling and impossible to look directly at.

"This is the power of a perfected tenth-grade Golden Immortal..."

Feeling the terrifying power surging a hundredfold within his body, Su Mo's face showed a look of fascination. With a slight movement of his fingertips, a wisp of primordial purple energy condensed in his palm into a miniature battle axe. The patterns on the axe blade were somewhat similar to the Primordial Divine Axe of the Immortal King Yuan Jin, but with an added touch of chaotic vastness.

At this moment, his true form alone was already no less powerful than that of Immortal King Yuan Jin, who lacked the support of the Immortal Kingdom's will. If he were to cultivate all his illusory spiritual bodies simultaneously, he was confident that he could fight, and even defeat, a second-tier Eternal Immortal King, let alone a third-tier one.

"It's time to deal with that Yuan Jin Immortal King."

Su Mo muttered to himself, and with a thought, a divine thought traversed the chaos like lightning, precisely contacting the illusory spirit body that was still fiercely battling the Yuan Jin Immortal King in the ruins of the Hongmeng Immortal Realm. Immediately afterward, the power of a perfect tenth-grade Golden Immortal within him seemed to find an outlet, rapidly synchronizing its cultivation with that of the 1,800 scattered illusory spirit bodies along the divine thought link.

"boom......"

A terrifying pressure, like billions of volcanoes erupting simultaneously, suddenly rose from the illusory body of Ling Xuhuan, who was fighting against Yuan Jin Immortal King. Originally slightly shorter than Yuan Jin Immortal King, the Primordial Immortal Body rapidly expanded like an inflating balloon, and the Primordial Barrier around it was no longer a simple defense, but began to exude an aura of dominance over the world.

Its aura surpassed that of the Yuan Jin Immortal King in a mere breath, steadily stepping into the realm of the second-tier Eternal Immortal King, and it was still soaring at a terrifying speed—mid-second-tier, late-second-tier, peak-second-tier… Each breakthrough caused the surrounding chaotic airflow to explode violently, forming visible energy ripples that spread outwards for trillions of cosmic years.

The Immortal King Yuan Jin's axe-wielding motion abruptly froze. The divine power, infused with the very essence of his immortal kingdom, seemed to have struck an invisible wall, abruptly halting. The surging pressure of the illusory body of the spirit shard was like a colossal mountain collapsing from the heavens, slamming heavily onto him. This forced him to retreat violently through the chaos, each step shattering the void and leaving a trail of pitch-black energy. His hand gripping the primordial divine axe trembled violently, nearly slipping from his grasp. The imperial runes on the axe blade dimmed, flickering as if extinguished by the overwhelming pressure.

However, at this moment, Immortal King Yuan Jin could no longer care about any of that. He stared intently at the illusory body of the spirit, his eyes bloodshot. His original rage was replaced by extreme horror, and a hysterical scream came from his throat: "You...you actually had something to hide, no...how is this possible?"

If this monstrous creature truly possesses such terrifying power, why has it been suppressed by him for over two hundred thousand years? Could it be that all these years of battles and conflicts were merely a deliberate toy orchestrated by the other party? Surely the mighty Eternal Immortal King isn't some masochistic lunatic?

"It's fake! This must all be fake!" Immortal King Yuan Jin shook his head violently, as if trying to dispel this reality that overturned his understanding. "This wretch must have used some secret technique or divine power to burn his source and unleash such terrifying pressure. He can't hold on for long! Yes, that must be it!"

He suppressed the tremor in his heart, trying to stabilize his collapsing mind with self-deception, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes: "Trying to bluff and buy yourself a chance to escape won't be so easy!"

As he spoke, Immortal King Yuanjin tightened his grip on the Primal Divine Axe, mobilizing the primal power of all the immortal kingdoms within the Yuanjin Immortal Kingdom. Even the ancient foundations dormant within the immortal kingdom were awakened. The golden axe shadow surged once more, becoming several layers larger than before. With a desperate determination, it fiercely cleaved towards the illusory body of the spirit. The axe blade tore through the chaos, leaving a long golden trail, as if it wanted to split the entire chaos in two.

"Boom..."

The Primordial Divine Axe struck the Primordial Barrier with tremendous force, but this time, the result was completely different from before. The Primordial Barrier only rippled slightly, and the Primordial Dao patterns on the barrier dissipated the force of the divine axe into nothingness as they flowed, leaving almost no damage, not even a shallow mark.

On the contrary, Immortal King Yuan Jin was struck hard by an overwhelming and irresistible force. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of golden immortal blood that transformed into crimson worlds in the chaos. He could no longer hold onto the Primal Divine Axe, which flew out of his hand with a clang, tumbling and flying far away in the chaos. Most of the imperial runes on the axe shattered, completely losing its previous power.

Yuan Jin Immortal King steadied himself in a disheveled state, watching the divine axe symbolizing the origin of the Yuan Jin Immortal Kingdom fall into the distance, and then looking at the motionless figure of Ling Xu Phantom Body. A chill that penetrated to the bone ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, extinguishing the last bit of hope in his heart.

"It's...it's all true..." Immortal King Yuan Jin gazed at the increasingly majestic Primordial Immortal Body of the Spirit Illusion, feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from it constantly rising. His voice trembled, faintly tinged with a sob, "This wretched creature is not bluffing..."

His heart felt as if it were being clenched by an icy hand, and endless despair washed over him like a tidal wave. The pressure was so intense that it was almost as strong as that of a third-tier Eternal Immortal King he had once seen from afar, and the aura of this monstrous creature before him was still surging wildly, showing no sign of stopping—the opponent was very likely also a third-tier Eternal Immortal King!

Even with the advantage of location and all his trump cards, he sees no chance of winning against such a being.

"Damn you little beasts, you've really killed me!" Immortal King Yuan Jin gritted his teeth, a surge of boundless hatred rising in his heart. If those two unfilial sons hadn't already been suppressed, he would have skinned them alive and made them taste the most painful punishment in the world.

A third-tier Eternal Immortal King—is that an existence that these princes of immortal kingdoms can afford to provoke? If only they had known this would happen, they should have shot those two wicked sons against the wall back then, so they wouldn't have been able to harm them!

"call......"

Yuan Jin Immortal King took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear and regret in his heart. He didn't even bother to wipe the golden blood from the corner of his mouth, forcing a smile that was more like a grimace. He slowly bowed to the illusory body of the spirit, his posture extremely low, even carrying a hint of humble flattery, and said, "Senior, it was this junior who was blind and failed to recognize your greatness, offending your divine might. I beg you to forgive this junior for your petty transgression! This junior is willing to offer thirty percent of the resources of my Yuan Jin Immortal Kingdom as an apology!"

He paused, and seeing that the illusory spirit did not act immediately, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. He quickly added, "Those two unfilial sons are incredibly audacious to offend you, senior. They deserve to die. You may kill or punish them as you see fit, senior. I will have no complaints whatsoever."

Having said that, he bowed deeply again, almost at a ninety-degree angle, casting aside even the dignity of an Eternal Immortal King. Before absolute power, so-called dignity was nothing but a joke; preserving one's life was the most important thing.
