Chapter 499: Birth of Eternal Darkness

The sword formation rapidly fired streams of sword qi in succession, striking toward the black figure and leaving Tushan Qing with nowhere to bite. After being repeatedly blocked, Tushan Qing had no choice but to retreat.

At this moment, Xiao Shou stared intently at the faint blue mandala flower patterns on the Immortal’s white-gold immortal armor.

Scenes from the original story continuously flashed through his mind, specifically the passages describing the final battle between the female protagonist Xiao Ran and Huobei Flame Immortal Emperor and Shuinan Water Immortal Emperor.

That part of the story had been explained very clearly. In the end, Huobei Flame Immortal Emperor and Shuinan Water Immortal Emperor fought a decisive battle to the death.

Among the many Immortals who surrounded the female protagonist Xiao Ran, the author had once described the attacks of two Immortal Kings. One wore immortal armor marked with blue mandala flower patterns, while the other wore immortal armor marked with red mandala flower patterns. Even the female protagonist had been left in an extremely sorry state during that battle and had only narrowly defeated the numerous Immortal Kings.

They were both Immortals. The blue mandala flower pattern on the immortal armor was also exactly the same.

Could this be a coincidence?

How could it possibly be a coincidence?

But why would Shuinan Water Immortal Emperor send her subordinates to destroy the Heaven Origin Realm? In the original story, she had never done anything like this!

Xiao Shou was extremely shocked and asked with difficulty, "You are... Shuinan Water Immortal Emperor’s... subordinate? Was destroying the Heaven Origin Realm her order?"

...

Within the Heaven Origin Realm.

A huge five-story pavilion rose from the ground and floated steadily in the sky, where spiritual energy was in turmoil and the entire world seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Yu Lin wore an excited smile as she watched the chaotic scene around her. Heaven and Earth were overturned, mountains and rivers were destroyed, spiritual energy was in complete disorder, seawater continuously poured down from the sky, and countless beasts, humans, mountains, rocks, and chunks of earth kept falling from above.

It was a miserable scene resembling the end of the world, and Yu Lin felt extremely exhilarated.

She turned to the figure enveloped in golden immortal light beside her and said, "As expected of Immortal Lord. Your actions are truly extraordinary."

"They are merely a group of ants. Living from dawn until dusk before dying is simply the natural order. To perish together with an entire realm is their honor. As for when are you leaving? As long as you remain here, Chenyin cannot truly destroy this realm."

A cold voice came from within the golden light.

Yu Lin looked at the chaotic surroundings and the countless lives continuously perishing. She spoke confidently, "Wait a little longer. I am waiting for someone who is extremely useful to Immortal Lord. He is very resistant to me, but after seeing a scene like this, when he realizes that he is powerless to defy Heaven, he will definitely come."

"Hmph! Extremely useful to Immortal Lord?"

The golden figure let out a cold snort but said nothing more.

Below the top floor of the pavilion where they stood, the densely packed cultivators of the Nine Treasure Pavilion stood there. Their faces were filled with despair as they watched countless lives perish around them, and traces of reluctance and pity occasionally flashed through their eyes.

...

Within the void.

After Xiao Shou’s question rang out, the Immortal’s sword shadows paused.

Then the twelve sword shadows shot out and hovered around Xiao Shou’s vital points.

The Immortal sneered and said, "Heh... The bloodline of your Tushan Clan is truly extraordinary. Who would have thought that such a little boy would actually... But in that case, I absolutely cannot allow anyone here to leave alive."

He had not denied it.

That meant the one who had ordered this was indeed Shuinan Water Immortal Emperor.

Why would she do such a thing?

Was it to kill the reincarnation of Huobei Flame Immortal Emperor?

Xiao Shou’s expression turned grim as he subconsciously glanced at Venerable Jian Li.

"What? Are you worried that your destruction of the lower realm and the countless lives you have killed will be exposed? I thought that since you had the courage to do something like this, you wouldn’t be afraid of being exposed!"

Seeing that the Immortal did not deny it and was instead preparing to attack Xiao Shou, Tushan Shanhe mocked, "After all, I have heard that the Immortal Realm has a rule forbidding Immortals from casually descending to the lower realms. Even if they accidentally descend, they are not allowed to harm the living beings of the lower realms. Ah Qing, what was the punishment for violating this rule again? I seem to have forgotten."

"To the Immortal Execution Platform, although he probably won’t have the chance to go there."

After saying this, Tushan Qing transmitted his voice to Xiao Shou. "Ah Shou, lend me your sacred flame for a moment."

"Oh! All right."

Hearing this, Xiao Shou was stunned for a moment before reacting. He obediently summoned the entire Terrestrial Fox Black Flame and held it in front of Tushan Qing’s ten-tailed Terrestrial Fox true body near his shoulder.

Although Tushan Shanhe knew that his grandfather’s personality was somewhat straightforward and foolish, this was simply too straightforward!

He had actually handed over the unparalleled sacred flame in its entirety just like that. Was he not worried that his grandfather would simply keep it for himself and refuse to return it?

One had to know that for the sake of seeking immortality and enlightenment, there were countless cases of even grandparents and grandchildren, or biological fathers and sons, fighting to the death. Normally, one would only hand over a portion.

Sigh! My precious baby still needs more discipline.

Tushan Qing sighed inwardly, but his actions were swift. He opened his mouth and swallowed the tiny flame in Xiao Shou’s palm in one bite.
