Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Demonic Universe, Yuanzu Hall.

The Chaos Ape Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes, and dark golden light flashed like two lightning bolts tearing through the sky, breaking through the thick darkness in the hall.

The dark golden devil blood flowing on the throne suddenly boiled, making a violent "gurgling" sound, as if echoing the anger boiling in his heart.

After gritting his teeth, Chaos Ape Ancestor finally made up his mind.

For a full 700 million years, that group of trash hasn't brought any useful clues. If I rely solely on those trash, I'm afraid that even if I give them another 700 million years, there will be no results.

The next second...

The dark golden demonic energy around the Chaos Ape Ancestor suddenly rolled, sweeping across the entire Yuanzu Temple like boiling ink.

Carrying the murderous aura that had accumulated over countless years, wherever it passed, even the magic patterns on the skeleton throne were violently distorted, as if they were about to be torn apart by this force.

His figure gradually faded within the demonic energy, like a drop of water dissolving into an ink pool, and in an instant, he vanished from the Yuanzu Hall. All that remained within the hall was the slowly fading swirling demonic mist and the dark golden demonic blood on the throne returning to its stillness, as if the old monster's figure had never existed.

......

In the center of the cosmic sea, in a mysterious place, an ancient temple made of chaos stone is floating above the Taixiao罡风 that makes even the kings of the seventh heaven and sea tremble with fear. The beams and pillars of the temple are wrapped with long-extinct ancient magic patterns, and each pattern is swallowing and exhaling chaotic air currents. The netherworld lamps hanging on the ceiling of the temple are burning with eternal soul fire, illuminating the temple with a dark atmosphere.

"Om..."

The void trembled slightly, and the figure of Chaos Ape Ancestor suddenly appeared on the black floor tiles in the center of the temple.

As soon as he appeared, the demonic energy around him merged with the chaotic aura of the temple, emitting a low resonance.

Several faint fluctuations of aura came from the depths of the temple, each of which contained a terrifying pressure that was enough to make the entire universe tremble. Even if it was not as strong as the Chaos Ape Ancestor, it was not much inferior.

After taking a deep look at the vague figures in the deepest part of the temple, a complex look flashed in the eyes of the Chaos Ape Ancestor - there was fear, unwillingness, but more of it was a kind of determination that he had no choice.

"Old monkey, you are here after all!"

A sound like the friction of dead wood came from the depths of the temple, with a hint of laughter, breaking the silence in the temple.

The Chaos Ape Ancestor did not respond, but slowly walked towards the figures. Every step he took was on the runes of the temple, stirring up layers of dark light.

Soon, the Chaos Ape Ancestor walked into the depths of the temple.

There stood five thrones side by side, all forged from different chaotic materials—some shimmered with the silver glow of star fragments, some flowed with the crimson glow of magma, and some were covered in black ice that had not melted for a thousand years. Each throne exuded a unique aura of oppression belonging to its owner, interweaving with the surrounding chaotic air currents to form an invisible net that enveloped the entire temple.

At this moment, there were figures sitting on one of the four thrones.

On the first star throne on the left hand, sat an old man in a black robe with star patterns. His hair and beard were grayish-white, as if blended with countless stardust. When his eyes were closed, there were bits of starlight flowing on his eyelids. Billions of miniature starry universes surrounded his body. Every breath he took drove the movement of the starry universe, emitting the ancient breath of "Daoyan Starry Sky".

On the red rock throne beside it was a giant with dark red flames burning all over his body. Dragon scale-like patterns were faintly visible in the flames. His head was slightly lowered, and the bone spurs on his lower jaw protruded like saw teeth. His hands were folded in front of his abdomen. Sparks dripping from between his fingers fell on the floor tiles, burning out miniature black holes.

Further to the right, a woman was reclining on the black ice throne. She was dressed in white clothes woven from ice silk, her skin was as white as crystal ice, and her long hair fell like an ink waterfall, covering half of her face. Only a pair of eyes were exposed, and eternal frost was condensed in her pupils. Wherever her eyes swept across, even the chaotic airflow would freeze into ice.

On the black-gold throne on the far right was a being whose face could not be seen. He was shrouded in thick black fog, from which a few bone-claw-like tentacles occasionally emerged. Chains were wrapped around the armrests of the throne, and on the chains hung several shriveled heads, all of whom were the once-famous Kings of the Nine Heavens and the Sea.

These four figures were all ancient and majestic. Although they sat still, they were like four gods holding up the heaven and earth. The pressures around them intertwined together, causing the space deep in the temple to slightly distort, making it difficult for even light to penetrate.

Seeing the Chaos Ape Ancestor approaching, the old man in the black robe with star patterns opened his eyes first, his eyes full of stars. "Old monkey, it took you 600 million years to show yourself. Your patience is greater than we thought."

The Chaos Ape Ancestor walked to the empty dark gold throne at the end, turned around and sat down. His pair of demonic eyes, as deep as the black holes of the universe, swept over the four of them and said, "There's no point in saying more. Now that you're all here, let's discuss the matter of that brat. We can join forces, but after we capture him, we must first establish the rules for who will control the opportunity for transcendence within him."

When the old man in the black robe with star patterns heard this, the starlight on his eyelids suddenly flickered, and the stars in his eyes surged more and more turbulently, as if he was weighing the weight behind these words.

His fingertips gently tapped the throne's armrests, making a soft "thump, thump" sound that was particularly clear in the deadly silence of the temple. "Rules? Old Monkey, you and I both know that the opportunity for transcendence is never determined by rules." He paused, his eyes sweeping over the other three. "However, since we're joining forces, there has to be a reason. How about this? After we capture that brat, we'll see who has the ability to take the opportunity for transcendence from him first. Afterwards, no one else will continue to fight for it. When he takes that final step and transcends the cosmic sea, he must leave behind four transcendent insights as compensation. And when facing other forces, we must unite our hatred and fight with all our might. What do you think?"

The Chaos Ape Ancestor's demonic pupils narrowed slightly, his dark golden gaze lingering for a moment across the faces of the other four. His fingertips gently traced the skeletal armrests of the Dark Gold Throne, and the demonic blood coursing through the bones made a subtle sizzling sound, as if he were weighing the pros and cons of this proposal.

After a while, he uttered a low, cold snort, "Old Xingyuan, I'll do as you say, but the four insights must be the most core origin marks, without any impurities. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

The fire giant on the Red Rock Throne clenched his fists suddenly, and the crisp sound of his knuckles colliding mixed with the sound of flames exploding was like a sign before a magma eruption.

The dark red flames circulated around his body and finally converged back into his body surface, leaving only the tiny black holes on the floor tiles still slowly rotating, swallowing everything around them.

"Old Xingyuan, I have no objection." His voice was as heavy as cooling magma. "But if anyone dares to hide something during our alliance, don't blame me for burning through his lair with my Nine Extreme Divine Flame, bringing eternal damnation to his clan."

The woman on the black ice throne's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a thin layer of ice covered the part of her jaw that was exposed between her long hair.

Her eyes, frozen with eternal frost, scanned the four people one by one. Her fingertips tapped the armrests of the throne, making a crisp "ding" sound, like ice beads falling on a jade plate, clear and decisive: "Things of enlightenment require the highest oath. As for sharing a common hatred..."

She paused, her gaze fixed on the swirling Taixiao gale outside the palace. "If anyone dares to take advantage of this opportunity, my Hanyue Immortal Palace's 'Nine Nether Mysterious Ice Prison' is in need of a few distinguished guests."

The black fog on the black gold throne surged violently, and the bone claw tentacles drew several sinister arcs in the air. The shriveled heads on the chains all turned towards the old man in the black robe with star patterns, and a faint green light flashed in the empty eye sockets.

"The Supreme Heart Oath? It's a safe bet." The hoarse voice carried a chilling chill that seemed to freeze the soul. "However, whoever dares to break the oath..." A barbed bone claw suddenly emerged from the black mist. Venom dripped from its fingertips onto the floor tiles, instantly corroding a bottomless hole. "I'm sure none of you would want to taste the effects of my 'Myriad Poisons Heart Curse'."

When Xingyuan God saw that the four people had no objection, the starlight on his eyelids gradually calmed down, and the galaxy in his eyes returned to depth again.

He slowly raised his hand, and a ray of brilliant starlight gathered at his fingertips, drawing a complex star track in the sky: "Since this is the case, let me take the origin of the universe as my witness and swear the supreme oath!"

Before he finished speaking, the four Chaos Ape Ancestors raised their hands at the same time, and dark golden demonic energy, dark red flames, phantom blue cold air, dark green venom and the starlight intertwined together, condensing into a five-colored oath rune in the center of the temple.

In an instant, the entire temple trembled violently, and the Taixiao Gangfeng let out a whimpering roar, as if even the origin of the universe and the sea had sensed this covenant of greed and checks and balances.

The next second...

With a "bang", the oath rune suddenly exploded, turning into five streams of light that drilled into the eyebrows of the five people, leaving an indelible mark deep in their souls.

The Chaos Ape Ancestor touched his brow, a cold flash in his demonic pupils: "Since the covenant has been made, everyone, let's begin."
