Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Tianyuan Zhouhe, Tianyuan Universe.

"Boom..."

A deafening roar tore through the sky, and violent ripples of space and time suddenly appeared above the Tianyuan Universe.

The originally stable sky was like being hit by a giant hammer. The layers of space barriers shattered into pieces, and chaotic airflow gushed out like a fountain, rapidly twisting and rotating in the void, forming a space-time wormhole with a diameter of more than 10 million cosmic years.

Lightning and thunder flashed deep in the wormhole, and the purple-black thunder surged like a mad dragon. Countless tiny fragments of time and space flew like sharp blades, emitting a terrifying aura that was enough to cut through thousands of universes, and even the starlight flowing around was shattered.

next moment......

A terrifying demon god stepped out of the wormhole. It was none other than the Red Demon Lord.

When he first appeared, his body was less than a cosmic year old, but with every step forward, his body expanded rapidly at a speed thousands and tens of thousands of times - the "crackling" sound of bones rubbing against each other shook the universe, and black hair spread like a wildly growing forest, covering every inch of his swollen muscles.

When he walked to the top of the Tianyuan Universe, he had transformed into a terrifying troll that was even larger than the Tianyuan Universe: his head broke through the endless clouds, and several spikes protruded from his hard skull, emitting dark golden murderous aura; his body spanned billions of cosmic years of void, and every breath drove the tides of the surrounding cosmic rivers; his eyes were like two burning dark red ancient universes, looking down at the Tianyuan Universe under his feet, his eyes full of indifference, as if he was looking at an insignificant speck of dust.

"Roar......"

With a dull roar, the terrifying pressure of the King of the Eighth Heaven and Perfect Universe radiated from the body of the Red Demon Lord like a tsunami, instantly enveloping the entire Tianyuan Universe.

The pressure was mixed with the unique murderous aura of the Chaos Demon Ape clan. Wherever it passed, the void froze inch by inch, and the cosmic light blooming in the Tianyuan Universe quickly dimmed, like a star that was at the end of its life and was about to go out.

Even the "Nine Extremes Heavenly Net Formation" around the Tianyuan Universe, which the human race had spent countless efforts to set up and could resist the attacks of the King of the Seventh Heaven's Early Stage Sea of ​​the Universe for a short period of time, began to vibrate violently. The nine quasi-sixth-level Sea of ​​the Universe treasures at the center of the formation flashed wildly, emitting an unbearable humming sound, and countless fine cracks appeared faintly. The formation barrier covering the entire Tianyuan Universe was even more densely packed with cracks, like broken glass, and it seemed that it would completely collapse in the next second, exposing all living beings in the Tianyuan Universe to destructive pressure.

In an instant, countless human cultivators were pinned to the ground by this powerful force, bleeding from all seven orifices, without even the strength to look up. Some humans with low cultivation levels didn't even have time to scream before they were crushed into slag and turned into ashes.

Even those masters of the universe who had opened up their own universes could only crawl on the ground at this moment, their bones creaking and groaning, as if they would be crushed into meat paste at any time.

Only Tianyuan Patriarch and a few hundred other kings of the Universe Sea could barely remain standing thanks to their realm background, but they all had pale faces and blood oozing from the corners of their mouths.

"It's the Red Demon Lord of the Chaos Demon Ape Clan!"

"One hundred million years have passed. Could it be that the Chaos Demon Ape Clan can no longer hold back and is about to attack our human race?"

......

Looking at the majestic and arrogant Red Demon Lord above the universe, endless fear and despair quickly engulfed the hearts of Tianyuan Patriarch and hundreds of other human kings of the sea of ​​​​the universe like a rolling tide.

Faced with the Chaos Demon Ape Clan, a nine-star superior clan standing at the top of the entire universe, the human race is just a humble aphid, completely without any power to resist.

Not to mention the Chaos Ape Ancestor and the other three kings of the Nine Heavens Sea, just the Red Demon Lord in front of him can destroy their Tianyuan Universe with a wave of his hand and completely wipe them out from the sea of ​​the universe.

at this time......

The Red Demon Lord glanced down at the crumbling formation beneath his feet, a cruel arc curling up at the corner of his mouth. His voice was like billions of thunders exploding simultaneously, and every word carried the power to rip apart the soul: "Human ants, listen carefully to me! I am following the orders of my ancestors and tell the human race - I give you a million years to hand over that human child. Otherwise, after a million years, your race will be destroyed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the giant hand that covered the sky and the sun, and his five fingers were like five black cosmic mountains, pressing down lightly.

"Click..."

The light curtain of the human race's protective formation collapsed in an instant, and a quasi-sixth-level cosmic treasure that served as the center of the formation was completely shattered. A terrifying mushroom cloud that lasted for hundreds of millions of cosmic years rose up, completely wiping out countless worlds within the range. The entire Tianyuan Universe seemed to be missing a corner, and would soon be completely shattered.

"Remember, you only have a million years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Red Demon Lord moved, crossed the time and space wormhole again, and quickly disappeared from the sight of Tianyuan Patriarch and others.

Immediately afterwards, the wormhole with a diameter of more than tens of millions of cosmic years collapsed and turned into a tiny trace of light, and finally disappeared into the void, as if it had never appeared.

However, the terrifying pressure that enveloped the entire Tianyuan Universe did not dissipate immediately. It was like a piece of solidified ancient ice, pressing heavily on the hearts of every human being, making even breathing become extremely heavy.

Inside the Human Ancestor Hall, Patriarch Tianyuan staggered back half a step, barely able to stand steady by holding onto the jade pillar beside him. The bloodstains on his white robe were particularly glaring under the light.

He looked at the ripples of time and space in the sky that had not yet completely subsided, and then looked down at the void that had existed for hundreds of millions of years where the formation was broken. It was once one of the most prosperous star fields in the Tianyuan Universe, but now there was only chaotic airflow surging silently, without even a trace of life left.

It was unknown who fell to the ground first, and then a series of muffled sounds were heard in the Human Ancestor Hall.

The dark blue armor of Xuanfeng God was already soaked with cold sweat. He tightly grasped the sword at his waist, his knuckles turning white from the effort, but he finally lowered his head helplessly, his voice trembling with brokenness: "A million years... My human race only has these short million years left..."

The red hair of the Red Sun Immortal Venerable was plastered to his face in a messy manner. The last bit of light in his eyes was completely extinguished, replaced by bottomless despair: "What should I do... What should I do..."

The Red Demon Lord was definitely not talking casually. A million years from now, if the human race cannot take out the mysterious King of the Universe and the Sea, the Chaos Demon Ape clan will definitely take action to destroy the human race.

But after searching for 100 million times, the whereabouts of the mysterious King of the Universe and the Sea were not found.

A mere million years, less than one-tenth of the past, what can we gain?

Patriarch Tianyuan slowly closed his eyes, and the thunder-like threat of the Red Demon Lord seemed to still echo in his ears, as well as the screams of countless lives annihilated when the formation was broken.

He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no more sadness in them, only a kind of almost numb calmness: "Pass it on..."

His voice was soft, but it carried clearly throughout the hall: "Constrain the remaining power of the Nine Extremes Heavenly Net Formation to protect the core area of ​​the Tianyuan Universe. At the same time, accelerate the Spark Project. Regardless of the cost, all selected Sparks must be delivered within a million years—everyone who can leave is a winner."

"Then... where is that mysterious tribesman?" A King of the Fourth Heaven and Sea, dressed in a blue robe, asked in a trembling voice, with a trace of unrealistic expectation still in his eyes.

Tianyuan Patriarch did not answer immediately, but just looked up at the void outside the hall that was exposed due to the broken formation. The void and dark energy there was slowly eroding the boundary of the Tianyuan Universe.

After a long moment, he slowly spoke, his voice filled with a tiredness that was almost resigned to his fate: "Keep looking, but... don't hold out too much hope."

These words were like a blunt knife, completely cutting off the last bit of hope in everyone's heart.

Despair was no longer a surging tide, but turned into an icy tide, submerging their limbs bit by bit.

Soon, the Human Ancestor Hall fell into silence again, heavier than ever before.

The time limit of one million years is like a sword hanging over the heads of human beings, but they don't even have the strength to grasp the hilt of the sword.

Patriarch Tianyuan walked to the temple gate and looked at the nothingness that was wiped out by the palm of the Red Demon Lord, his white hair disheveled in the wind.

From today on, humanity will live in a countdown, with every minute and every second drawing closer to the destined end.

As for that mysterious tribesman... maybe it really was just a dream.

At the same time, outside the Tianyuan Universe, the masters of the universe from all forces who have been monitoring the Tianyuan Universe, their spiritual consciousnesses are constantly colliding and communicating in the void.

"The Chaos Demon Ape Clan is still as arrogant and domineering as ever."

"That's good too. We can use them to force that lucky human to see what choice he makes."

"Spread this news quickly to all corners of the universe."
