Jiang Mo found its allure somewhat laughable, as if a down-on-his-luck beggar were smugly sharing his crooked ways with the world's richest man.
Gradually, the obvious smile on his lips caused several of the industry leaders to frown and question him:
"Are we wrong? There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. We are willing to follow you, submit to you, become your predecessors, guide you on how to achieve immortality, support you, and even help you rebuild the mythical Heavenly Court of the human race. Don't you want to consider it? If you insist on fighting with us, it will not benefit either side."
"Guidance? No need. I have already attained immortality. My body is unrestrained, my mind is free, and I am at ease. At this moment, I only wish to guide a few seniors."
Jiang Mo politely declined. As they talked, he began to wave his left hand, magnifying the original cosmic battlefield tens of millions of times, making it impossible to see any end or any life.
"You've achieved immortality? What a joke! We've cultivated for over two hundred thousand years and still might not succeed. How dare you, a mere junior, talk about immortality?" one of the bigwigs couldn't help but question.
"Believe it or not, I'm not entirely sure either. But the path I've found shouldn't be a wrong one, and I can manage to keep going. As for how far I can go, that's hard to say."
"Hard to say? Then you might as well be more explicit. What exactly do you plan to do with us?"
One of the tycoons could no longer contain his anger and wanted to take action.
"It's very simple. This starry sky is so beautiful, so I'll give it to you seniors. I think it would be a good idea to bury your remains in this vast sea of stars."
"boom!!!"
No sooner had these words been spoken than a powerful figure from the forbidden zone suddenly made his move, wielding his natal magic weapon and charging towards the towering figure, an imminent battle about to erupt.
The four giants unleashed their full power, their innate magical artifacts bearing the ultimate energy output, unleashing all sorts of world-destroying spells, attempting to destroy Jiang Mo's figure and break through this strange world of artistic conception.
As time passed, the battle became increasingly intense. The four giants were panting heavily, and their expressions changed from initial confidence to slight panic as they realized a fact that was difficult for them to accept.
This universe might actually be real!
No matter what they did, they couldn't find a single flaw. Although their magic and supernatural powers destroyed many planets, they still couldn't leave this place. Moreover, Jiang Mo's projection in the distance seemed to be invincible, showing no signs of being exhausted.
What exactly did you do to us?!
"Where am I?!"
A tycoon roared hysterically, clearly unwilling to accept defeat.
"......"
Jiang Mo remained silent, but continued to act. He raised his arm, which was forged from a galaxy, and slapped it down hard, causing the giant's body to tremble and spit out blood, almost fainting.
"You lied to us!!!"
"boom!!!"
"Ah!!! Ah!!!"
"boom!!!"
As the giants' roars grew weaker, the battle came to an end. Jiang Mo shattered the life palaces of the four giants with a single slap, severing their hopes of resurrection.
In the end, with a single thought, the star field trembled, and millions of stars converged, piling up to form a tomb, burying the rulers of the endless sea.
Chapter 688 Selfishness
After dealing with the giants of the Endless Sea, Jiang Mo didn't explain much to the Dao Lords of the Martial Peak Hall, the Life Shaping Pavilion, and other lineages. He simply informed them that they had all perished.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, it transformed into a dazzling beam of celestial light, soaring straight into the sky and heading towards the Yuantian Array Sect.
"Boom!!!"
Jiang Mo's figure darted through the sea of clouds. His speed was faster than crossing space. In the blink of an eye, he tore through the iron curtain of clouds and arrived at the Yuantian Array Sect.
"who?"
A dark overlord who was attacking the great formation felt a domineering aura descend upon him. He turned around abruptly and was almost scared out of his wits.
Not long ago, Xuanzun, who was hailed as the strongest in the Eastern Wilderness and even the number one Dao Lord in the Immortal Realm, was now quietly gazing at it from behind.
This is a four-winged giant bird with a rotting body, covered in gray downy feathers. What makes its head different from other birds and beasts is that it has nine scarlet eyes, densely and crowdedly embedded in its face, making it extremely ferocious and eerie, giving people an indescribable sense of malevolence, as if it were the embodiment of death.
At the same time, another lord of the forbidden zone was also suddenly distracted and was cleaved in the chest by a Dao Lord of the Origin Heaven Array Sect. Blood splattered and he flew thousands of miles away.
In the forbidden zone of the human realm, there are only two dominant giants: one is a ferocious behemoth with four wings and nine eyes, and the other is a gluttonous beast that is now just a skeleton with its flesh almost withered!
At this moment, the territory of the Yuantian Array Sect was swallowed up by a cold, large moon. The pale moonlight swept across mountains and rivers, infecting all things, which instantly froze and turned into lifeless objects.
Unlike other forbidden zones that have vast armies, this forbidden zone has only two dark beings, and both are giants!
The reason for this situation is simply that, over the long course of time, the Dark Gluttons could no longer endure the torment of hunger and devoured all the edible creatures in the forbidden zone. Once upon a time, they also had a huge and invincible dark army, but in the end, they were all swallowed by the Gluttons in order to prolong their lifespan.
Upon arriving at the scene, Jiang Mo gazed at the silvery moon that enveloped the surrounding area and suddenly sensed something. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes as he noticed the faint life fluctuations.
"I see... Interesting."
This bright moon that seals off a region is not inanimate, but alive, and it is the egg of the Taotie!
At this point, Jiang Mo roughly understood how the supreme being of this forbidden zone survived. There must be some kind of secret technique to cultivate his own egg, give birth to a larva, and then possess it to achieve a perfect reincarnation, and even retain most of his combat power from his previous life.
This time, it was clear that the humans and Dao Lords of the Yuantian Array Sect were all being used as sacrifices to nourish the beast eggs.
"Mystic Venerable!!"
Upon seeing Jiang Mo resurrected, the sect leader of the Yuantian Array Sect couldn't help but show a look of wild joy. This was like a godsend, and his appearance was enough to turn the tide of the battle.
"it's me."
Jiang Mo answered casually. He decisively extended his right hand, and the Eighty-Eight-Pointed True Flame Banner flew out, expanding infinitely in an instant, covering the entire silver moon on the land in the blink of an eye, intending to refine it in one fell swoop.
"stop!!!"
Seemingly realizing what Jiang Mo was about to do, the old Taotie roared, its face contorted in a ferocious state, and charged straight at Jiang Mo.
"Boom!!!"
Several black, sun-like wormholes spewed from his mouth, carrying terrifying power, swirling around Jiang Mo and pressing towards one point, but he easily neutralized them.
With a "whoosh!", flames burst into flame. Jiang Mo, expressionless, activated the Eighty-Eight-Cornered True Flame Banner. A large amount of strange fire surged between heaven and earth, deliberately burning the silver moon-shaped beast egg without harming others.
A sharp and piercing roar came, and Silver Moon was instantly covered with cracks. It let out a painful howl like a living thing. In just a few breaths, it was burned to ashes by Jiang Mo and died completely.
"call--!"
Suddenly, a whirlpool-like storm formed. After the beast eggs died, a massive amount of life essence dissipated. The aged Taotie didn't care about anything else and directly devoured them, quickly restoring its own condition.
At the same time, the four-winged, nine-eyed behemo threatened Jiang Mo:
"We come representing the will of the Immortal Clan, determined to destroy the Origin Heaven Array Sect. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Immortal Clan for obstructing us like this?"
“I’ve killed several of their kings, so what’s there to be afraid of?”
Jiang Mo smiled faintly as he rapidly gathered a deadly strike at the fingertips of his right hand. Countless years flowed over it, and the origin of time, starting from a base of one thousand years, skyrocketed to ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, one million years, until it was almost crystallized, forming a ray of light resembling a long sword, ready to be unleashed.
"!"
In that instant, the two giants, whose intuition was still quite sharp, suddenly felt their bodies turn ice cold and their limbs stiffen. It was clearly a sign that death was imminent, which really frightened them.
Jiang Mo, a Dao Lord from a later era, was the most exaggerated and powerful Dao Lord they had ever heard of in all these years. At the same time, he was also the most powerful one they had ever seen, even surpassing some of the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors who had once commanded them.
"No, you can't lay a hand on us!"
"My innate divine power connects to perilous lands throughout the universe. If you kill me, countless wormholes will appear across the Immortal Realm, opening passages and drawing all those calamities here!!!"
On its deathbed, the old Taotie forced itself to speak, which was its only source of confidence.
Many years ago, the immortals wanted to take action against it, but because of this, they didn't kill it. Instead, they kept it as a henchman.
This Taotie's cultivation level, as the ruler of the Nine Palaces and Nine Stars, is considered average among the forbidden zones, but its danger to the Immortal Realm is unparalleled.
"While the Immortal Realm is indeed the center of this boundless starry sky, various terrifying forces also exist in the desolate frontiers of the universe. They are all stirring, attempting to seize the Immortal Realm and the surrounding star fields. When I was young, I traveled to those places, deliberately leaving wormhole marks for future escape. As my cultivation has grown stronger, the wormholes have become increasingly solidified. Now, more than 100,000 years later, their size and density are beyond imagination. As soon as I die, whether by choice or by force, tens of thousands of wormholes will open, and the Immortal Realm will usher in an unprecedented era of great war!!!"
"So, please spare me, let me live!!!"
The old gluttonous beast pleaded desperately. Faced with Jiang Mo's unrestrained aura, it had lost all will to fight and only wanted to struggle for its life. It was willing to give up its dignity. It explained the pros and cons and begged bitterly.
"..."
These few words caused the expressions of the two Extreme Realm Dao Lords from the Yuantian Array Sect to change slightly.
If what Taotie said is true, killing it would be the worst possible strategy, undoubtedly the worst possible outcome.
This disgusting thing has actually turned itself into a conduit, binding the survival of the entire Immortal Realm to itself.
Thinking of this, even the usually unsavory Daoist Ku Li's face darkened, and he cursed in a cold voice, "Beast."
Seeing that the light at Jiang Mo's fingertips was still flickering and showed no sign of attack, the four-winged, nine-eyed supreme being was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and hurriedly said:
"Lord Xuan! As long as you don't kill us, we are willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light, and from now on serve you as our master and carry out your will!!"
“Mystic Lord, please reconsider. We are already at our wits' end, and are lambs to the slaughter in your hands. If you really cannot change your mind, we are willing to die.”
The old gluttons seemed resigned to their fate, not even considering activating their innate magical artifacts.
At this moment, Jiang Mo was flawless inside and out, giving them the feeling of infinite power that seemed endless. No matter how they resisted, it was futile, and the result would be the same. Rather than a miserable battle, it was better to calmly submit to his fate.
“Mystic Venerable, they pose too great a threat. If we were to actually kill them, we would be unable to bear the consequences at this stage, and it would plunge the Immortal Realm into endless disasters in the future. Perhaps... we should seal them away first, and then discuss with the various Dao lineages how to deal with them after the war ends.”
The sect leader of the Yuantian Array Sect also felt quite helpless and could only say this.
He couldn't be sure what kind of cataclysmic disaster the wormhole opened after Taotie's death would bring to the universe, so he had no choice but to compromise.
Jiang Mo pondered for a moment, glanced at the two Supreme Dao Lords of the Origin Heaven Array Sect, then at the two giants of the Human Moon Sect, and finally dispersed the light from his fingertips, slowly speaking:
"Alright, then I'll spare your lives for now. Also, tell me in detail what orders the Immortal Clan gave you."
"yes......"
The two giants, who had survived the ordeal, breathed a sigh of relief. Their expressions softened, and they recounted the whole story.
In the Immortal Clan's plan, they would first use the opportunists among the various regional Daoist sects to test the strength of Feixian County before launching an attack. At the same time, the four forbidden zones would also attack some powerful Daoist sects. The Immortal Clan would provide support behind the scenes and bestow life-saving jade pendants. As long as the pendant was crushed, an Immortal King would descend to assist them in their attack.
It was precisely because of the Taotie's unique nature that the jade pendant given by the Immortal Clan was actually normal. In fact, these two Supreme Beings knew that the jade pendants of other Forbidden Zone Lords contained traps that would only lure the Black Devourer and destroy everything.
The Immortal Clan intends to unify the Immortal Realm and restore the glory of the ancient times. As the victors, they promise to grant the two giants of the mortal realm a territory to settle down in the future.
In addition, throughout the long history, these two supreme beings have been so old that they are almost dead on several occasions, and they are unable to capture the Dao Lord of the Extreme Realm. It was the Immortal King of the Immortal Clan who personally took action to secretly hunt and kill the prey for them, thus prolonging the life of Taotie.
Knowing the whole story, Jiang Mo didn't say much, but simply addressed the four-winged, nine-eyed ruler and the old Taotie:
"For safety reasons, I need to seal you away for a period of time."
Having said that, he took out two Time Eggs from his bosom. These were special items given to him by the Lord of the River of Time in the Forbidden Zone of Life in the Central Continent, specifically used to imprison beings of extreme realms. They came in handy now.
The four-winged, nine-eyed behemoth, the Old Taotie, looked at the two mysterious Eggs of Time. As if recognizing their origin, its expression changed increasingly, showing signs of wavering and even resistance.
Once sealed inside this thing, they will live forever, but they will never be able to get out or be free. They will be locked up for millions or even tens of millions of years, and their bodies and souls will be unable to move or decay. At that time, they may not even be able to yearn for death.
"Mystic Lord, do you really intend to treat us like this?"
The old gluttonous beast wavered slightly. It dared not trust Jiang Mo. If it went in with its best friend, the Chongming Bird, it would never be able to turn the tables. Its life and death would be in the other party's hands, and it would lose all threats.
"We'd rather die than go in. Don't think we don't know; this is a product of the long river of time!!!"
The four-winged, nine-eyed behemoth also resisted.
"The River of Time?!"
Upon hearing this, the two Dao Lords of the Origin Heaven Array Sect suddenly changed their expressions, probably guessing what was going on.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two sides was becoming tense again, Ku Li immediately tried to prevent the conflict from escalating and advised:
“Mysterious Venerable, since these two are unwilling to enter this cage, why don’t I use an array to seal them? Or, we can have a fellow Daoist from the Beast Taming Sect come and imprint the Beast Taming Seal on them.”
However, Jiang Mo remained silent, quietly watching the two supreme beings, which exerted immense pressure on them.
"As long as we don't enter the Egg of Time, you can do whatever you want with us..." The old gluttonous beast stated its bottom line, which was not to be compromised.
"well....."
Seeing them nod in agreement, Ku Li breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Jiang Mo and cautiously asked:
"Fellow Daoist Xuanzun, what do you think?"
"No matter what, I am the winner, and they are the losers. How can I, the winner, bow down to the losers? Don't I feel ashamed?"
Jiang Mo's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he made his move instantly.
Two supernatural powers were unleashed. First, a blood-red blade of divine consciousness pierced through the Taotie's brow, causing it to wail and lose its composure. Then, Zhuiyue closed in, without saying a word, and struck out with a palm, shattering the bones inside its body and almost severely injuring it. Before it could react, he dragged it into the Egg of Time. From beginning to end, there was not a single mistake.
At this point, Taotie was in dire straits, powerless to resist, and filled with endless regret, but it was too late.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. By the time the Chongming Bird reacted, it felt its scalp tingle. Its best friend had been silently and severely injured by Jiang Mo and forcibly imprisoned. There was nothing it could do!
"Are you going to get inside yourself, or am I going to kill you now?"
A cold, questioning voice interrupted the Chongming Bird's thoughts. It snapped back to reality, looked at Jiang Mo, and its nine scarlet eyes lost their sharpness, filled with despair.
