Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Ancestor Lingxu looked down at Su Mo's illusory body from a high place, his voice like thunder, shaking the void in all directions.

It would be better not to fight this battle if possible. Although he and his junior brother Chen Xu have entered the realm of perfect Dao King with the help of the great protective formation, the hope of leaving behind a perfect Dao King is still slim and will not exceed one level.

As he spoke, the entire Shengyuan Sect was shaken again. A terrifying force rolled in from all directions, like a surging tide of beasts, covering Lingxuhuan's entire body. In an instant, Lingxuhuan's entire body's momentum, like a flowing cloud cut by a sharp blade, plummeted rapidly, and there was a hint of falling from the state of a perfect Dao King.

"You want to make a big fuss with just a protective formation? You are totally ignorant." Lingxu Huanshen curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, and looked at Lingxu Laozu and others with a look full of contempt and disdain, as if they were jumping clowns without self-awareness and he did not take them seriously at all.

"This... Could it be that this guy has something else to hide?"

Ancestor Lingxu frowned tightly, like two mountains about to close together, and a hint of uneasiness rose in his heart.

at this time......

"Whoosh..."

Eight dazzling divine lights flashed past Lingxuhuan's body like a meteor chasing the moon, at such a speed that it was dizzying.

Immediately afterwards, eight majestic beings with different appearances appeared. The terrifying aura of the perfect Dao King rose from them. In a blink of an eye, the situation was reversed again. The momentum of Lingxu Laozu and others was completely suppressed like a fire encountering a torrential rain.

Even the protective formation seemed to be in a shaky and unstable state.

I saw those mysterious divine patterns, as if they had life, constantly beating and trembling, as if they were shivering in fear, or kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Eight...eight perfect Dao Kings. Damn it, that bastard Qian Yuan, what kind of trouble has he caused to my Holy Church!" Ancestor Lingxu gnashed his teeth in anger. At this moment, he wanted to turn around and slap Ancestor Qian Yuan twice. Nine perfect Dao Kings, this power can be regarded as the best even among many overlords of the universe.

Qian Yuan is such an idiot. He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to actually provoke such a powerful force.

"Nine Lights God Formation, rise."

At this time, a mysterious and ancient voice, as if it had traveled through the long river of time and space, came faintly from the depths of the universe, and exploded in the ears of Lingxu Laozu and others.

Almost at the same moment, nine extremely brilliant divine lights of various colors rose from the nine illusory spiritual bodies like volcanic eruptions.

The colors are brilliant, red like the scorching sun, blue like the deep sea, gold like the brilliant clouds... They intertwine and collide with each other, bursting out bursts of strong energy fluctuations, but quickly merge together in a strange and harmonious way.

In the blink of an eye, the nine divine lights merged into one, and the nine illusory spiritual bodies disappeared without a trace, replaced by a giant chaotic god that stood tall and upright.

He has a towering figure, who knows how many Dao years he is tall, with the sky above his head and chaos under his feet. His body is surrounded by layers of chaotic mist, with countless divine patterns shining in it, as if interpreting the birth and death of all things in the universe.

The Chaos Giant's face was as cold as ice, with no expression on his face, as if nothing in the world could cause his emotions to fluctuate.

His entire body exudes an aura of supreme majesty, and his every move makes people feel instinctively afraid.

"Boom..."

The Chaos Giant God's body moved slightly, and an extremely terrifying pressure, comparable to that of a quasi-lord of the universe, emanated from him like a tsunami covering the sky and the earth.

Wherever it passed, time and space were directly ground into slag, and everything, whether tangible matter or intangible energy, all turned into nothingness in this instant.

Elder Lingxu and the other twenty-eight elders felt their bodies sink, as if they were carrying a miniature universe on their backs. The terrifying and suffocating pressure made it hard for them to breathe, especially the weakest ancestors, whose legs were shaking uncontrollably, as if they would collapse and kneel at any moment.

The light curtain, which had been trembling violently under the powerful aura of the nine perfect Dao Kings, now cracked completely as if it had suffered a devastating disaster. The terrifying cracks that had lasted for thousands of years spread and expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The divine patterns of the Dao on the light curtain dimmed, like a star that had reached the end, slowly falling into the abyss of darkness with endless loneliness and despair.

Almost at the same time, a large number of mushroom clouds rose from the surroundings of the Holy Abyss Sect, causing the space-time on all sides to become chaotic and collapse. Various powerful energies collided and exploded with each other, making a deafening roar, as if the end of the world had come, and the entire Holy Abyss Sect was about to be completely wiped out from the Shenxiao Universe, leaving no trace.

"No, we can't let him continue to wreak havoc like this..."

Ancestor Lingxu was extremely anxious. Once the giant god of chaos completely destroyed the protective formation of the religion, there would be only one fate waiting for them, and that was to be ruthlessly killed.

"The only solution now is..."

Patriarch Lingxu gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly due to excessive force, as if he had made a difficult decision.

It was all Qianyuan's fault. He didn't know what was good for him and provoked such a group of evildoers. Otherwise, how could their Shengyuan Sect be in trouble today?

After passing this level, I will definitely teach this evil creature a lesson.

......

After three breaths.

The light curtain was already covered with dense, crisscrossing, terrifying cracks, like a torn spider web.

The divine pattern of the avenue, which was like a star-like, dense curtain of light, also dimmed by nearly half.

Ancestor Lingxu and the other twenty-eight ancestors felt that their aura had dropped significantly, as if half of their souls had been taken away. An indescribable fear and uneasiness, like a surging tide, quickly spread in the hearts of the ancestors, completely drowning their hearts.

“Cough cough cough… cough cough cough…”

Suddenly, faint coughing sounds, like the sound of heavy hammers, came from the empty space on all sides.

Each sound seemed to carry the vicissitudes of endless years, like a heavy hammer, accurately hitting the souls of everyone, causing the souls of all the ancestors to tremble.

The next second...

A gray light flashed across the void like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, a man appeared in front of Ancestor Lingxu.

The man had a strange appearance, hunched over, as if burdened by the weight of time, his spine unable to straighten. He exuded a decayed aura, as if he had just emerged from a long-sealed coffin, a chilling feeling.

He was skinny and bony, and looked like he weighed less than 80 pounds. He looked as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

However, in his deep-set eye sockets, there flashed a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle, which revealed a depth and mystery that had gone through vicissitudes of life, as if they could see through everyone's hearts.

Although he looks weak, he exudes a strange aura of power that no one dares to underestimate. He is like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness, silent and hard to guard against.

"I, the unworthy descendant, pay my respects to the ancestor."

When Patriarch Lingxu, Patriarch Chenxu and six Dao Kings of 4,500 Dao and above saw the old man, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, just like a drowning man grabbing the only life-saving straw. They hurriedly stepped forward, saluted with great respect and said.

"Ancestor? Could it be this..."

In the back, the Qianyuan Patriarch and twenty other Dao Kings below the level of 4,500 Dao had a flash of inspiration in their minds and vaguely thought of something.

Legend has it that the first leader of their Shengyuan Sect did not actually die, but instead used the power of a chaotic artifact to temporarily seal his own life and survived as the trump card of their Shengyuan Sect. However, they had never seen it with their own eyes before and always thought it was just a rumor.

The King of the Great Dao is not immortal, and his lifespan will eventually run out, especially for short-lived species like humans. Even if they cultivate to the realm of perfect Dao King and have the help of many life-extending magical powers and magic pills, they can rarely survive more than 200,000 Chaos Eras.

But unlike those low-level cultivators, high-level cultivators rarely seal themselves into a state of hibernation before their lifespan is exhausted.

Especially for the King of the Dao, the price is even more terrifying and outrageous. Unless one is lucky enough to obtain a Chaos Treasure suitable for the King of the Dao to self-proclaim and sleep in, otherwise, the resources consumed are enough to cultivate a King of the Dao of the same price.

A King of the Dao who is very old and can only come out to save his life at the critical moment of life and death, verses a King of the Dao of the same level who can take action at any time and is at his peak condition. Who is better? Even if you use your toes to think about it, you can understand the pros and cons.

Unexpectedly, the legend turned out to be true.

The next second...

The hearts of Qianyuan Patriarch, which were shrouded in darkness, began to show a glimmer of hope. It was said that when the ancestor was at his peak, he was a top-level powerful man among the Perfect Dao Kings and was not too far away from becoming the quasi-Lord of the Universe.

Coupled with the advantages of geographical location and the support of formations, the ancestor is able to burst out with combat power comparable to that of a quasi-lord of the universe in a short period of time, or even stronger.

"Ling boy, all of you please get up. I will use my old bones to help you one last time."
