Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Deep in the Qiankun universe, in an ancient temple standing on top of the Nine Heavens Galaxy, myriad runes flow between the beams and pillars like fireflies. The star pearls hanging on the ceiling emit an eternal soft light, illuminating the entire palace with solemnity, as if it had existed since the birth of the ocean of the universe.

In the center of the temple, an old man in a plain white Taoist robe sat upright on a chaotic cloud bed. The Qian and Kun hexagrams embroidered on the robe rose and fell slightly with his breathing, as if resonating with the pulse of the cosmic sea.

His hair and beard were all white, and his long beard hung down to his chest. His hair shone with a faint luster like the Milky Way, and a chaotic airflow lingered around him. He seemed calm, but he exuded a sense of vicissitudes and majesty that overlooked the eternity, as if the birth, death, rise and fall of all things in the world were all within his insight.

"Om..."

When the golden light that swept across the universe passed through the Divine Palace, the old man's eyes, which had been lightly closed, suddenly opened.

In an instant, two rays of light containing the sun, moon, stars, and the birth and death of the universe shot out from the bottom of his eyes, penetrated the dome of the temple, and reached the void of the universe, and then converged in an instant, leaving only a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Those who can activate the most precious treasure of their Qiankun Divine Clan - the Qiankun Divine Mirror - are all one of the small group of people standing at the top of the cosmic sea. Even if they are not perfect quasi-transcendent masters, they are not far off. These beings will not take action easily, and often it may take several cosmic eras for one of them to appear.

The next second...

The old man in the white Taoist robe was surrounded by a chaotic divine light, like a drop of ink dissolving into clear water. His figure instantly faded from the chaotic cloud bed, and even the air currents lingering around him did not cause any ripples, silently.

When he appeared again, he was standing in a magnificent temple.

This temple is far more magnificent than the previous ancient temple. The pillars are all forged from the cores of stars, and are flowing with the halo of billions of stars. The black and yellow divine stone paving the ground is engraved with Taoist patterns that penetrate the heaven and the earth. Each pattern seems to be interpreting the birth and death of the universe and the reincarnation of the Tao, revealing supreme mystery.

In the center of the temple, an ancient bronze altar rises from the ground. Above the altar, a bronze mirror with an ancient and sacred aura is quietly suspended.

The edge of the magic mirror is engraved with an intricate diagram of the Qiankun Bagua. The mirror surface is as smooth as cream, yet it reveals a profound insight into the eternity. It is the most precious treasure of the Qiankun clan - the Qiankun Magic Mirror.

At this moment, the mirror was trembling slightly, and golden rays of light were wandering in the mirror, as if telling of unusual movements in the distance.

"Let me see which old friend has been born."

The old man in the white Taoist robe gently touched the long beard that hung down to his chest. When his fingertips brushed the tip of the beard, a chaotic air flow lingered slightly.

His gaze fell on the vibrating bronze mirror, and he muttered something. Ancient and obscure syllables flowed from his lips, like the sound of Tao at the beginning of the universe, echoing in the magnificent temple.

As the spell sounded, he put his fingers together like swords and lightly pointed at the bronze altar.

In an instant, the Xuanhuang divine stone on the altar lit up, and the Taoist patterns engraved on it seemed to come alive, spreading upward along the altar and finally merging into the Bagua diagram on the edge of the Qiankun Divine Mirror.

"Buzz..."

The Qiankun Divine Mirror trembled violently, and ripples appeared on the mirror surface. The originally wandering golden light suddenly accelerated, like thousands of golden dragons galloping in the mirror.

The Bagua diagram on the mirror slowly rotated, emitting a low humming sound. A force of exploration that spanned ancient and modern times surged out from the mirror, penetrated the temple's barriers, and spread out toward the center of the cosmic sea.

The old man stood in front of the altar with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly closed, his consciousness closely connected with the magic mirror, his gaze seemed to follow the power of exploration, crossing endless time and space, reaching the edge of the universe.

......

In the Death Abyss near the Huanxu Zhou River, deathly silence and violence are intertwined.

The dark abyss that once swallowed up all light still retained the energy aftermath of the self-detonation of the Nightmare Demon Pearl. Lines of black and purple evil forces roamed in the void like poisonous snakes, occasionally colliding with each other, bursting out dazzling sparks, illuminating this dark abyss with flickering light, adding a bit of weirdness and danger.

Su Mo stood quietly in front of the energy frenzy that had calmed down a lot, his sleeves fluttering gently in the remaining airflow. The golden divine patterns on his body had converged to his body surface, and his breath was suppressed to the limit, like an insignificant speck of dust, allowing the deathly aura around him to erode his body.

His eyes stared straight at the energy turbulence in front of him that was still slowly dissipating. His gaze was as deep as the abyss, as if he was waiting for something.

In the distance, the figures of the four Xingyuan Shenzu had long disappeared. After showing off their achievements to Su Mo, they left in a hurry. It was not known whether they were seriously injured and were eager to go back to heal, or they wanted to take down the Chaos Demon Ape clan before the news of the Chaos Ape Ancestor's death spread.

Suddenly, a strange faint light flashed from the energy frenzy, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.

The dim light, carrying a thick aura of death, actually drew a smooth trajectory in the violent energy turbulence. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the shackles of the energy frenzy and manifested a figure in the void.

He was a hunchbacked old man in ragged clothes, his body shriveled like a dead stick, his tattered robes covered with holes so deep that the bones could be seen. Pitch-black demonic blood was dripping from those holes in his body, and every drop that fell into the void made a "sizzling" sound, corroding the surrounding death energy into terrifying black holes, revealing a bone-chilling evil.

This old man was none other than the Chaos Ape Ancestor. However, at this moment, he was extremely weak. He was far inferior to the King of the Universe Sea in the early stage of the Ninth Heaven. He was only slightly stronger than Yuanxu God, the quasi-Ninth Heaven King of the Universe Sea. He looked extremely miserable.

"You little human boy, and those four treacherous beasts, just wait for me. One day, I will make you repay me a thousand times, ten thousand times for what you did today!" He roared hoarsely, his voice full of resentment and unwillingness.

at this time......

Su Mo's voice came slowly from the side, calm and without a ripple, but like a cold blade, it pierced the heart of the Chaos Ape Ancestor with precision: "I knew that you, old man, would not die so easily."

If he really wanted to drag them down with him, the old man wouldn't have just self-destructed the Nightmare Demon Pearl, a quasi-transcendent treasure, but his own life treasure, and even his own body and soul. Only by destroying everything would he show his resolve. And the result was exactly as he expected; the old man had a backup plan.

"Oh no, this damn human kid has been hiding in the dark!" The expression of the Chaos Ape Ancestor suddenly changed drastically. His already wrinkled face twisted into a ball in an instant. The last trace of luck in his eyes was replaced by a bone-chilling coldness, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Now, he has already reached the end of his rope - the Sky Nightmare Demon Pearl self-destructed, and he, the owner of the treasure, was the first to bear the brunt. In order to withstand the devastating energy frenzy, not only did the five incarnations of the King of the Nine Heavens and the Sea of ​​the Universe all perish, but even his own treasure, the Demon Ape Axe of Creation, was severely damaged by the aftermath, and its spiritual light dimmed, and it directly fell from a quasi-transcendent treasure to a ninth-level treasure of the Universe and the Sea of ​​the Universe.

At this moment, let alone competing against a quasi-transcendent Lord, even a random King of the Universe Sea in the late Ninth Heaven could easily suppress him.

But the human child in front of him was a late-stage quasi-transcendent master who was difficult to match even in his prime.

The Chaos Ape Ancestor staggered back half a step, his skinny hands tightly grasping the wound on his chest. The dark demonic blood flowed through his fingers, dripping into the void, corroding a series of tiny black holes.

"Old man, I've let you live for so long. It's time to get going. Don't worry, your monkeys and grandchildren will come down to accompany you soon."

......

"This is the old monkey from the Chaos Demonic Ape Clan, and there's also a young human... Could it be that this person is..."
