Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Looking at the ten quasi-transcendent masters including the God of Time who disappeared without a trace after passing through the gap in the formation, a fleeting regret flashed in Su Mo's eyes. He failed to keep the ten quasi-transcendent masters including the God of Time. It was undoubtedly a foolish dream for him to want to cultivate the Yuan Dao Divine Body to the ninth heaven's perfection in one fell swoop relying solely on these seven quasi-transcendent masters whose highest cultivation level was no more than the late stage.

You must know that just to enter the realm of minor success, twenty-two kings of the Nine Heavens and Seas plus the Chaos Ape Ancestor, an early quasi-transcendent master, were consumed. Whether these seven quasi-transcendent masters can successfully break through to the realm of major success is a big unknown.

If we miss this opportunity, it will probably take a long time to defeat the God of Time and others in the future.

Having seen how powerful he is, as long as the Lord of Time and the others are not stupid, it is impossible for them to fall twice in the same place and easily cause trouble for him again.

at this time......

The Divine Seal of Time and Space and the Divine Mirror of Heaven and Earth, which were suspended near the gap in the formation, suddenly lit up with their divine light that had dimmed under Su Mo's full-strength attack. It was extremely dazzling, and the ancient runes on the surface flashed wildly, like a ignited spark that spread across the prairie. The power around them actually increased by another three points, and a transcendent force far exceeding the previous one gushed out from the seal and the mirror!

"boom......"

This force turned into two shock waves of gold and silver interwoven, and slammed into Su Mo with a terrifying power that could tear everything apart. Su Mo only felt a tremor in his palm, and the attack that had originally locked onto the treasure was slightly paused by this sudden force. In the force of the counterattack, there was a determination to destroy both himself and the enemy.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Divine Seal of Space and Time took the lead, transforming into a stream of silvery-white light that pierced the void. Its speed was several times faster than that of the Time God and his companions as they fled. Like an arrow shot from a bow, it precisely pierced the gap, which had shrunk to less than ten cosmic years wide. Immediately afterwards, the Divine Mirror of Heaven and Earth also erupted with its final brilliance. Its surface reflected thousands of dark yellow rays, forcibly opening a crack in the formation pattern at the edge of the gap. Then, it transformed into a streak of yellow light and passed through immediately after the Divine Seal of Space and Time.

“Sizzle…”

The moment the two streams of light disappeared, the gap in the formation was like a wound pulled by an invisible force, and it closed completely in an instant. The formation patterns were re-interwoven into an airtight barrier, leaving not even a trace of the aura of a transcendent treasure.

Su Mo looked at the closed gap, raised his brows slightly, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes again, but he was not too disappointed.

Even the Lord of Time and his companions were unable to stay, let alone this transcendent treasure with an even more terrifying level of power.

The next second...

Su Mo's gaze turned and fell on the seven sealed quasi-transcendent masters. With a wave of his hand, the dark golden divine light turned into a cage, trapping them all in his natal sea of ​​​​universe.

"The troubles of the Spacetime and Qiankun tribes will soon come to an end," Su Mo muttered to himself, the chaotic divine light lingering on his fingertips slowly receding. "Next, it will be my turn to avenge my grievances and annihilate the Chaos Demon Ape tribe!"

A flash of cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes, like the icy glint of shattering millennia-old black ice. He had never forgotten the blood feud of the human race, the trillions upon trillions of people slaughtered by the Chaos Demonic Apes. He had previously held back, merely to avoid alerting the Spacetime and Universe Clans, which might have aroused suspicion and disrupted their plans. Now that the two powerful enemies had temporarily retreated, the time had finally come to settle old scores.

As his words fell, the void before Su Mo suddenly rippled, countless forces of time and space surging and intertwining like a tide. With a wave of his hand, those flowing forces of time and space instantly condensed, transforming into a space-time tunnel shimmering with a dim light. At the other end of the tunnel, swirling demonic energy and ferocious Chaos Apes could be vaguely seen. This was the coordinates of the Chaos Apes' homeland—the Demonic Universe.

The moment the tunnel took shape, Su Mo's figure shifted slightly, his plain robe tracing a sharp arc through the chaotic air currents. Without a moment's hesitation, he stepped into the space-time tunnel. The moment he entered, the entrance slowly closed like the ripples of water, leaving only the peerless divine formation dormant in the abyss of death, as if no one had ever been there before.

......

In the Demonic Universe, in just less than 1.3 billion years, the entire universe has lost its former bustle and is now filled with a dead silence.

Ever since the moment when the Chaos Ape Ancestor's soul lamp, which hung on the top of the temple and burned for thousands of cosmic epochs, suddenly went out 1.23 billion years ago, this universe contaminated by demonic energy has been completely shrouded in a terrifying haze.

The Chaos Ape Ancestor is not only the ancestor of their Chaos Demon Ape clan, but also the spiritual pillar and greatest supporter of all their Chaos Demon Apes. The moment the lights went out, countless demon apes felt their hearts go empty, as if the sky was tilting to the northwest and the earth was sinking to the southeast. Even their breathing was bitingly cold, and the luck of the entire clan plummeted.

Today, the grand spectacle of the demonic apes patrolling the starry skies of the Demonic Universe is no longer to be seen. The demonic energy that once surged like a raging tide has become languid, flowing slowly through the deadly nebulae. Even the most rebellious demonic ape cubs have restrained their claws and fangs, retreating to their nests and daring not to move.

Deep within the Chaos Demonic Ape Clan's temple, three hunched ancestors, the Kings of the Ninth Heaven and Sea, sat cross-legged. The demonic aura lingering around them dimmed, no longer possessing the might they once possessed. They gazed at the empty space above the temple's dome—where the Chaos Ape Ancestor's soul lamp once hung, now only a faint trace of it remained. Deep melancholy and uneasiness etched their faces. Their claws unconsciously scratched at the Chaos Divine Stone beneath them, leaving deep claw marks. Crumbs of the stone fell, like their shattered hopes.

"The ancestor... after all, he still didn't come back." One of the white-robed, white-haired old apes, with the cultivation level of a King of the Universe in the late Ninth Heaven, roared softly, his voice as hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper. "It's been 1.23 billion years, and I haven't sensed even a trace of his remaining soul... I'm afraid the ancestor really has..."

Their world really collapsed.

The ancestor who protected the tribe through countless cosmic eras and was only one step away from transcendence died quietly without leaving even a last word.

Panic had already spread throughout the tribe. Over the past 1.2 billion years, countless Chaos Apes, unable to endure the suffocating oppression, have hurriedly left the Demonic Universe, dragging their families with them. They piloted their cosmic ships, avoiding the eyes of powerful forces from other factions as much as possible, fleeing to the desolate and remote cosmic rivers at the edge of the universe, hoping only to hide in some forgotten corner and preserve their lives.

The Chaos Demon Ape, once so powerful and mighty before the myriad races of the heavens, was now a frightened bird. The occasional demon apes that could be seen in the cosmic sea were all hurried and terrified. They even avoided passing by small cosmic rivers where no King of the Cosmic Sea existed, fearing that they would reveal their whereabouts.

Only a few hopeful demon apes remained around the temple. They guarded this increasingly desolate homeland, hoping that the three ancestors could find a glimmer of hope. However, they did not know that the hearts of the three ancestors had already turned cold - even the ancestors were killed, how long could they hold out with their limited strength?

Suddenly, a spacetime wormhole appeared without warning in the deadly stillness of the Demonic Universe! A faint chaotic divine light lingered at the wormhole's edge. The surrounding spacetime was violently distorted by this force, even the demonic energy in the sky was stirred into a vortex. The gravel and dust in the void swirled wildly in the invisible force field, emitting a piercing scream.

"Boom..."

With a soft sound, Su Mo stepped out of the wormhole. His plain robe rustled in the starry sky, swirling with demonic energy. Though he didn't deliberately release a powerful aura, he possessed an aura that could subdue the universe. The very void beneath his feet sank slightly at his arrival, creating ripples of golden light. Wherever he passed, the weakened chaotic demonic energy retreated as if it had encountered its nemesis.

Almost the moment he appeared, deep within the Chaos Demonic Ape Clan's temple, three Nine Heavens Sea Kings, seated cross-legged, simultaneously opened their eyes, a glint of fear flashing in their ape-like gazes. They all raised their heads to gaze at the sky, and with a single glance, they saw the figure clearly—a human, a human with an unfathomable aura!

"It's a human!" The white-haired old ape in a white robe suddenly stood up, leaving spider-web-like cracks on the ground under his feet. His voice trembled with disbelief, "Could it be... that it's him..."
