Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Upon hearing this, the Chaos Ape Ancestor's scarlet eyes suddenly emitted a terrifying murderous light, and the anger in his chest erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for billions of years, and the boiling magma almost destroyed his last bit of sanity.

"What did you say?!"

He took a sudden step forward, his mountainous body trembling slightly with extreme anger. Dark golden magic patterns flashed wildly around him, as if he wanted to break free from his restraints and devour someone. "Not only do you want my avatar to surrender, but you also want my true self to surrender?"

He stared at Su Mo intently, his voice twisted with anger and filled with a murderous aura that threatened to crush everything. "Even my Chaos Demon Ape clan is only worthy of having one bloodline left? How is this any different from directly annihilating my clan!"

Over the past thousands of cosmic epochs, their Chaos Demon Ape clan has roamed the cosmic sea and offended countless forces. It was only because he, the quasi-transcendent lord, was in charge, and there were a group of kings of the eighth and ninth heavens in the clan to support them that those enemies dared not speak out and always lurked in the dark.

But once he and the main combat incarnations present all perished, and most of the strong men in the clan were killed, those dormant enemies would swarm in like hungry wolves smelling blood - even if they were lucky enough to leave behind a bloodline, it would be impossible for them to survive safely. In the end, even if they did not completely die out, they would only become the most humble slave tribe, being kept in captivity and enslaved by other forces, living at the bottom of society for generations, and not even having the qualifications to look up at the stars!

"Fellow Daoist, your conditions are too harsh. This is absolutely impossible!"

The Chaos Ape Ancestor gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his knuckles crackled. The black blood on the axe handle boiled with his anger.

If it weren't for the remaining sanity holding him back - knowing that exploding at this moment would be tantamount to self-destruction, he would have already swung the Demon Ape Axe regardless of the consequences and fought Su Mo to the death.

The demon ape shadow behind him roared more and more ferociously, and the dark golden demonic energy surged wildly like a tsunami, forming whirlpools that swallowed everything, as if to completely devour and crush the surrounding space and time.

After a few breaths, the demonic energy surging around the Chaos Ape Ancestor suddenly stagnated. A trace of struggle flashed in the scarlet beast eyes, and then was replaced by ruthlessness.

He stared at Su Mo intently, as if he had made a heart-wrenching decision. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Fellow Daoist, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor! I am willing to hand over all my clansmen who participated in the destruction of the human race's territory. Regardless of their level of cultivation, I will hand them all over to you for your disposal. I only ask that this end the cause and effect between my clan and the human race!"

As he finished speaking, the dark golden magic patterns around him dimmed a little. It was obvious that this decision made him extremely painful.

Among those tribesmen, there are not only dozens of seventh-level kings of the universe and sea, but also nearly ten pillars of the tribe at the peak of the eighth level - this is almost the backbone of most of the Chaos Demon Ape tribe.

Without hundreds of cosmic epochs of cultivation in the future, don't even think you can recover.

But as long as he can save his ancestor and the other three kings of the Nine Heavens and the Sea, everything is worth it.

For their Chaos Demon Ape clan, he and the three Nine Heavens Sea Kings are the foundation of the clan. As long as he and the other three Nine Heavens Sea Kings are there, even if all the other Sea Kings in the clan are dead, their Chaos Demon Ape clan will still be one of the top clans standing at the top of the sea of ​​the universe. It will not be affected too much, and at most they will have to give up some peripheral forces.

As he spoke, he clenched the axe handle in his hand. Black sweat oozed from his palm and slid down the axe blade. His eyes were fixed on Su Mo, with a trace of desperate hope, as if waiting for the final judgment.

"not enough!"

Su Mo's voice was as cold as the eternal black ice, decisive and resolute, leaving no room for maneuver.

The two words were like two heavy hammers, hitting the heart of Chaos Ape Ancestor hard, causing his mountain-like body to shake violently and almost make him lose his balance.

The vortex of the universe slowly spun in Su Mo's eyes, and countless stars were born and died, revealing a bone-chilling chill. "Back then, the human race conquered thousands of cosmic rivers, and countless billions and billions... trillions of lives. How could that be offset by handing over a few accomplices?"

Then, Su Mo moved his right hand and pointed at the Chaos Ape Ancestor. The golden divine pattern on his fingertips shone brightly. "Either you and all your incarnations surrender, sparing a trace of your bloodline; or I will completely exterminate your Chaos Demon Ape clan from the universe. There is absolutely no third option."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo took a step forward, and the pressure on his body surged another three points. The golden divine patterns surged towards the Chaos Ape Ancestor like a tide, squeezing the demonic energy around him and causing it to shrink continuously. Even the hideous shadow of the demon ape behind him let out a painful roar.

The Chaos Ape Ancestor's demonic body was filled with a strong desire to fight Su Mo to the death, letting him know the wrath of the demonic ape. However, in the end, his rationality made him suppress his anger and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you really going to be so heartless?"

He took a deep breath, trying to impress Su Mo with his last bargaining chip: "Although you are strong now, you are not a true transcendent master! If you want to completely take over this throne, you will have to pay a price! Aren't you afraid that you will end up making wedding clothes for others in vain?"

"There are far more than just the five of us who are eyeing your chance of transcendence!" Chaos Ape Ancestor emphasized his tone, a hint of provocation flashing in his eyes. "It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. If you are willing to let me go, I am willing to offer all my incarnations to you for your disposal! What do you think?"

After saying that, he stared at Su Mo intently, even holding his breath for a moment - this was the biggest concession he could make. If he was rejected again, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.

Hearing this, Su Mo's sneer remained undimmed, but he did not immediately respond to Chaos Ape Ancestor. Instead, he turned his gaze to the four Star Yuan Divine Lords behind him and said in a calm but powerful voice, "The ten breaths of time are up."

His gaze swept across the four of them like a sharp sword, each word clear: "What are your thoughts? Will you hand over all your avatars and settle your karma with me? Or will you go all the way and fight me?"

As he spoke, the golden divine patterns around Su Mo lit up again, and the terrifying pressure comparable to that of a late-stage quasi-transcendent lord was like an invisible giant hand, pressing down on the four Xingyuan Divine Lords.

The moment the words fell, the golden divine patterns around Su Mo lit up again, and the pressure of the Thousand Gods Formation was like an invisible giant hand, pressing down on the four Xingyuan God Lords.

The four men's expressions shifted, their gazes toward the Chaos Ape Ancestor becoming increasingly complex. If they refused now, they would likely find themselves trapped alongside the demonic ape. Handing over all their avatars would not only sever their own limbs, but also completely sever their path forward.

Silence stretched out in the void for a few breaths, each second seemed to be as long as billions of years, and the air was filled with suffocating tension.

The body under the white robe of Xingyuan God relaxed slightly, and he finally sighed. That sigh contained endless helplessness and resignation, as if he had sighed out the pride of thousands of cosmic eras.

He raised his eyes to look at Su Mo. The struggle in his eyes had dissipated, leaving only the calmness of the dust settling. "Fellow Daoist, I am willing to hand over all my incarnations."

He paused, then added, his tone filled with final insistence, "However, I hope you will swear a high oath. After today's matter is over, there will be no more karmic entanglement between you and me."

The moment he made this decision, Xingyuan Shenzun felt his heart go empty.

Although the future path to transcendence was cut off, compared to being hunted down by a transcendent master and completely shattered to pieces after several epochs, he was able to save his life after all.

What's more, without the opportunity to transcend, with his talent, the hope of breaking through to become the Lord of Transcendence is already slim to almost zero. This road ahead should be cut off.

Upon hearing this, the cosmic vortex in Su Mo's eyes paused slightly, then slowly subsided. He looked up at Xing Yuan Divine Venerable and said calmly, "Yes."

"I, Su Mo, swear by the very essence of my soul. Today, as long as Star Origin Divine Venerable hands over the Thirty-Six-Layered Star God Tower and all the incarnations behind it, the karma between the two of us will be settled. From now on, we will not invade each other and will have no further disputes. If you break this oath, your soul will shatter, your divine body will dissolve, and you will never be able to transcend."

The moment the oath was made, a divine light containing the origin of the universe immediately penetrated Su Mo's sea of ​​consciousness, merged into the depths of his soul, and was closely connected with his soul. That was the supreme contract made with the sea of ​​​​the universe, which was sacred and inviolable. Even if he was promoted to a transcendent master in the future, if he dared to violate the contract, he would suffer backlash and pay a heavy price.

Instantly, Xing Yuan Divine Venerable's tense body relaxed, a look of relief appearing on his face, and even his breathing became somewhat steady. The Supreme Heart Oath was irreversible. With this oath in place, he no longer had to worry about being retaliated by this monster.

The next second...

The six main combat incarnations of the King of the Nine Heavens and Sea behind him saluted the Star Yuan God. Although there was reluctance in their eyes, they did not resist. Then they slowly walked towards Su Mo with the glittering thirty-six-layer Star God Tower.

In the end, they allowed Su Mo to imprison them all without any resistance.

......

"What about you three? Tell me your final choice, hand it in or not?"
