Chapter 336: The Great Jing Immortal Dynasty (Twenty-Four)
That seemingly indestructible, supreme defensive path ultimately shattered.
Even the Unbreakable Immortal Lord, whose body transformed into the Dao, managed to mend the breach.
However, even the most flawless immortal path has a fatal flaw before the Eye of Truth.
Once, twice...
That absolute defensive path was ultimately broken.
The Unbreakable Immortal Lord has fallen once more.
Seeing this, the other two True Immortals did not hesitate and immediately chose to flee, traversing through space and time, attempting to escape the Void Sea.
"This sword strikes to the death!"
The Myriad Laws Sword leaped forth.
This sword strike was unavoidable.
Transforming illusion into reality.
The Sky-Splitting Immortal Lord screamed in agony.
His body was instantly annihilated.
A deep sword wound suddenly appeared on Dongfang Yunxing's body, dripping with immortal blood. However, Dongfang Yunxing didn't care. Having already killed two True Immortals from the Transmigrators' Alliance, Dongfang Yunxing didn't stop. Only one last ancient True Immortal from the Transmigrators' Alliance remained.
"This strike, annihilates destiny!"
An invisible strike aimed at the head of another True Immortal from the Transmigrators' Alliance who was fleeing.
That invisible immortal destiny instantly dissipated.
The other True Immortal from the Transmigrators' Alliance, who was fleeing, suddenly changed color.
"Dongfang Yunxing, you dare?"
Dongfang Yunxing said, "What wouldn't this Immortal Lord dare to do?"
Another Myriad Laws Immortal Sword slashed down again.
Severing one's immortal destiny brings only calamity.
After falling into the cycle of reincarnation, one will likely face a long period of tribulation, unable to return.
Dongfang Yunxing showed no mercy, choosing to strike with his sword.
This single strike caused even True Immortals to bow their heads.
He slew three True Immortals in succession.
Dongfang Yunxing, covered in blood, possessed unparalleled charisma, overshadowing everything else.
"Unexpectedly, that freak won in the end."
"Boring... With a lineup like the Transmigrator Alliance below the Immortal King level, only the giants could possibly contend with them. The fact that the Myriad Transformations Dao Supreme Immortal Lord could turn the tables suggests he possesses strength comparable to a giant."
"If it weren't for that extraterrestrial True Immortal lending his power, the final outcome would likely have been reversed. It's all a matter of timing and fate. If those three True Immortals of the Transmigrator Alliance hadn't had the intervention of the alliance's supreme giants, they would probably have been trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation, perhaps even falling into a state of self-destruction."
"......"
A True Immortal observed the situation from the Void Sea, remaining indifferent without intervening.
In their eyes, this great battle was perhaps just a rare spectacle in the long course of time.
The Gate of Truth returned to Su Chen's body.
Su Chen clearly sensed the path Dongfang Yunxing had taken.
All laws, calamities, transforming illusion into reality
Su Chen watched as Dongfang Yunxing slew three immortals: "Your current strength has surpassed mine... You've gone extremely far on the path to True Immortality."
Su Chen felt a pang of melancholy.
The boy who once carried the burden of his family's annihilation has now become a True Immortal giant; it's truly awe-inspiring.
Dongfang Yunxing shook his head: "Without Master, I wouldn't have been able to become an immortal, and I might not even have been able to avenge my family's annihilation; I would have died at Chen Xuan's hands."
"No matter what my cultivation level is, Master is Master."
Su Chen watched Dongfang Yunxing rise step by step.
Su Chen had witnessed Dongfang Yunxing's transformation firsthand. Even though Dongfang Yunxing had grown into a capable individual, his eyes filled with the marks of time, the Dongfang Yunxing of the past had never truly disappeared.
Dongfang Yunxing had carved out a space, a place of verdant mountains and clear waters. For beings of their level, a mere thought was enough to create a world.
"Your injuries are too severe; you should heal them first."
Su Chen frowned as he watched Dongfang Yunxing, with his half-split body, fetch a pot of immortal wine, showing no intention of healing.
Dongfang Yunxing smiled, a smile tinged with both nonchalance and melancholy.
"It's just some minor Dao injuries."
"This disciple naturally knows what's good for him."
Su Chen sat cross-legged, looking at the loneliness in Dongfang Yunxing's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.
The vast Cloud Snow Immortal Land was now left with only Dongfang Yunxing all alone.
His heart softened, and he silently approved of Dongfang Yunxing's decision.
The master and disciple, like mortals, had severed all cultivation and lost their status as True Immortals. Fueled by alcohol, they reminisced about the past, those memories that had long faded gradually becoming profound again.
"Master...you said that becoming an immortal grants the ability to live forever, the ability to reverse life and death. Is this a benefit or a drawback?"
Dongfang Yunxing's heart began to wander.
Through countless years.
He could bestow upon his loved ones invincible strength and eternal lifespan.
But in the end, he was still the only one left.
Even though he could resurrect his former family countless times.
"Father...Mother...Eldest Brother...Xue'er, and Uncle-Master Qin Wujie, Aunt-Master Chi Yao, Senior Sister Di Chan..."
"This disciple has resurrected them time and time again."
"But their final decision was always to fall into eternal silence."
Su Chen understood why Dongfang Yunxing was the only one left in the final Cloud Snow Immortal Land.
They were tired.
Dongfang Yunxing was tired too.
In the end, only loneliness remains after achieving immortality.
One by one, those who have accompanied you through countless years will choose to leave.
Thousands, thousands, billions of times,
The ending is destined to be the same.
Even a True Immortal as powerful as you cannot endure such an end.
How much more so those beings below the True Immortal level?
Immortality is not a blessing, but more like torture.
"Fortunately, this disciple firmly believes that on the path of immortality, I will surely meet you, Master."
Dongfang Yunxing smiled.
Now he has finally waited.
At least, the path of immortality is not so lonely.
In the very end,
Su Chen still did not rewind the river of time.
"Master, won't you go see Uncle-Master Qin Wujie, Aunt-Master Chi Yao, and Senior Sister Di Chan?"
Dongfang Yunxing asked curiously.
He knew that his master appeared cold and indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about everything.
But that was only an outward appearance.
After all, a master who would even give up the chance to become an immortal to his disciple—could he be a heartless and ungrateful person?
Su Chen watched calmly as cranes danced in the distance, admiring the verdant mountains and clear waters, the clouds and birds flowing side by side.
"All of this is unnecessary now."
"Perhaps, this is the best ending."
Su Chen sipped his tea calmly.
He could make up for the regrets.
After regret, there would only be deeper regret.
Dongfang Yunxing smiled. "Yes...all of this is unnecessary now..."
Unfortunately, he didn't understand back then.
His persistent obsession only became a form of torment.
"Master...how should I proceed on the path ahead?"
Dongfang Yunxing was lost.
He had endured eon after eon, all to wait for Su Chen.
Now he had waited.
His future was shrouded in uncertainty.
Su Chen looked at the bewildered Dongfang Yunxing: "The path ahead, you only need to move forward."
"Become an Immortal King, reach the end of the Immortal Path, and explore the ultimate secrets of the path to immortality!"
Dongfang Yunxing was shocked.
He gave an awkward smile. "Master, this path is far too long. Is there a shorter one?"
Becoming an Immortal King...reaching the end of the Immortal Path...
Dongfang Yunxing feared that before he even reached it, he would succumb to despair.
He wouldn't want to live anymore.
Su Chen turned around, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.
"Of course there is."
Dongfang Yunxing's eyes lit up: "Master, is there a better path?"
Su Chen's expression was serious, and he spoke each word slowly and deliberately:
"Become stronger, and take down the Transmigrator Alliance!"
