Chapter 231 - 231 230 Blood Sea Battlefield

231: Chapter 230 Blood Sea Battlefield 231: Chapter 230 Blood Sea Battlefield Unfortunately, Ye Xuan didn’t pay any attention to the woman, but with deep eyes looked toward the ancestor of the Blood River, his voice calm as he spoke, “You and the Primordial Spirit have been scheming for thousands of years on the Blood Sea Battlefield, yet now you dare to appear before me.

Aren’t you afraid the Primordial Spirit will suspect you?”

As Ye Xuan’s words fell, the breath of the Blood River ancestor hitched, and his eyes, filled with a flash of terror, turned to Ye Xuan.

“Has Daoist Ye ever seen me before?” the Blood River ancestor tentatively asked, but if one listened closely, they would detect a tremor in his voice, clearly shaken by Ye Xuan’s words.

“Heh!”

Ye Xuan let out a disdainful chuckle, his gaze on the Blood River ancestor calm as he said, “You must know about the Forbidden Chapter in the Undying Immortal Scripture, and within this Forbidden Chapter lies a secret technique called ‘Primordial Spirit Void’.”

“This technique allows one to enter into the void, cultivate to the Perfection Realm, and even glimpse into all things under Heaven and Earth.

How then could I not be aware of your existence?”

“Boundless Heavenly Venerate!”

The Blood River ancestor’s face went deathly pale, his pupils dilating at that moment, and he involuntarily gave a deep bow, his eyes flickering with unmistakable terror as he looked toward Ye Xuan.

The Blood River ancestor had long harbored a guess that Ye Xuan might have obtained the Forbidden Chapter of the Undying Immortal Scripture, but it was a theory that had never been confirmed.

Today’s revelation, however, let him know that Ye Xuan had indeed mastered the Forbidden Chapter long ago.

How could this not fill him with extreme horror?

Since the dawn of Heaven and Earth, the Undying Immortal Scripture had been circulating in the world, and countless people had cultivated it.

However, without exception, no one had ever obtained the Forbidden Chapter, the most crucial part of the Undying Immortal Scripture.

“As the saying goes, there are only everlasting interests, no everlasting enemies.

Blood River Daoist appearing before me must also be looking to secure a way out for himself, right?” Ye Xuan was still smiling, but his eyes passed over the Blood River ancestor with an indescribable expression.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the Blood River ancestor’s face changed unpredictably, as if contemplating something.

Indeed, what Ye Xuan had said was exactly what the Blood River ancestor had been thinking, but he was not yet ready to fully decide whether to side with Ye Xuan or not.

If he made the wrong choice, not only would Ye Xuan die, but he himself would have to accompany Ye Xuan in death.

“Daoist Ye, how about we make a deal?” the Blood River ancestor pondered for a while, then tentatively spoke to Ye Xuan.

“Oh?”

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, asking, “What kind of deal would you like to make with me?”

“If you eliminate the Primordial Spirit and help me take back the Origin Pearl, I will give you a tremendous opportunity.

Even if you enter the Earth Immortal Realm, within less than ten thousand years, you could transform into a Daluo Golden Immortal, becoming a venerated and ultimate being.” The eyes of the Blood River ancestor narrowed slightly as he spoke.

“Blood River Daoist, do you really take me for a three-year-old child?”

Ye Xuan’s eyes gradually grew colder, a hint of killing intent appeared in his gaze toward the Blood River ancestor as he said, “Is it not a great joke that you expect me to trust you merely on your empty promises?”

“Do you think that the Primordial Spirit is just the remnant soul of Yuan Mo?” the Blood River ancestor asked, dodging the question.

“Isn’t that so?” Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke.

“You’re completely wrong.

Yuan Mo died ten thousand years ago, and it was the Primordial Spirit who killed him.”

The face of the Blood River ancestor was ghastly pale as if he had fallen into memories from eons ago, the terror in his eyes extremely intense.

“Daoist Ye, I can tell you sincerely that the Primordial Spirit will definitely not let you go, just like he didn’t let Yuan Mo go all those years ago.

Even if you hold the Heavenly Punishment Halberd and even have achieved immortality in the Mortal World, the horror of the Primordial Spirit is beyond anything you can imagine.”

“He is orchestrating a grand scheme of Heaven and Earth,” the Blood River Ancestor narrated, “and you’re the most crucial chess piece within it, whereas I am merely a puppet in his hands.”

Hearing the Blood River Ancestor’s account, Ye Xuan’s expression turned grim.

He hadn’t expected his conjecture to be wrong; the so-called Primordial Spirit was not the remnant soul of Yuan Mo after all.

Who exactly was the Primordial Spirit?

“I’m curious, since you speak of the Primordial Spirit as so powerful,” Ye Xuan uttered somberly, “why then do you appear before me?

Aren’t you afraid he will annihilate you?”

“Because I do not wish to be a puppet,” the Blood River Ancestor replied, his face flushing red and his voice trembling.

Clearly, there was a profound history between him and the Primordial Spirit.

“Tell me, who is the Primordial Spirit in truth?” inquired Ye Xuan in a low voice.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the Blood River Ancestor slowly shook his head and chuckled bitterly, “You may not believe it if I tell you.

Truthfully, I do not know who the true identity of the Primordial Spirit is.

In all these ten thousand years of contact, I only know that he is a surviving fragment of a soul.

But according to my conjecture, he should be from the chaos…”

Boom!

Suddenly, before the Blood River Ancestor could finish speaking, the world around them underwent a dramatic transformation, and the visage of the Primordial Spirit loomed over the heavenly vault.

Demonic light that shook Heaven and Earth wreaked havoc, and his cold, merciless voice echoed throughout the eight corners of the world.

“Blood River, you’ve said too much.”

Buzz!

As the world trembled and the Qiankun reversed, the sky-reaching Demon Light shrouded the Blood River Ancestor, causing him to vanish into thin air instantaneously.

“My dear disciple, since you wish to know my true identity,” the voice of the Primordial Spirit vibrated through the world, “then I shall wait for you on the Ancient Battlefield and give you a satisfactory answer.”

The voice of the Primordial Spirit echoed throughout the land as the face in the sky dissipated.

Ye Xuan stood quietly, watching the spectacle unfold, but with the opening and closing of his eyes, the surrounding void shattered to pieces.

“No matter who you are, your ultimate fate will be death!”

Ye Xuan spoke calmly, the blood-colored Immortal Light around his body faintly rippling.

He danced the sleeves of the universe, enfolded the Moon God into the Sumeru Space, and in a single step, vanished from between Heaven and Earth.

…

Duanchang Mountain towered tens of thousands of feet high, piercing into the clouds.

Yet today, Duanchang Mountain lay silent, with no birds in sight nor beasts to be found.

The sprawling mountain range burst forth with a sky-reaching blood light, the vast mountain body disengaged from the ground, floating amidst Heaven and Earth.

A blood-light gateway opened on the mountainside, from which emerged sorrowful wails and shrieks like ghosts and gods, causing those who heard them to feel as if their souls were on the brink of silent annihilation.

Boom, boom, boom!

Blood qi surged for thirty thousand miles, with blood lotuses blossoming all through the void.

The intense Immortal Light covered the sky and earth; in the distant horizon, blood-colored Immortal Light radiated around Ye Xuan as he stepped forward, and the myriad blood lotuses bloomed and shattered in his wake.

Thump—thump—thump!

The sound echoed like the drumbeat of slaughter, the Nine Heavens Star River seemed to reverse with each step that Ye Xuan took, the world trembled, even showing signs of cracking.

“Disciple, congratulations on achieving immortality in the Mortal World.

Today, it’s time for our mentor-student relationship to reach its conclusion!”

Within the Blood Sea Battlefield, the endless Blood Sea overturned, millions of lost souls wailed, and the Primordial Spirit, holding a bronze scripture, stood above the Blood Sea.

He gazed at Ye Xuan from afar through the battleground, his voice ancient and hoarse.
