Immortality Starts With Investment

The immortal corpse attacked ferociously. With every raise of her hand, massive palm prints slammed down. They were endless, as if intent on destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

The quasi-immortal defensive formation shook violently. If not for the eight supreme defensive Extreme Dao Weapons inside it, their auras linked together and supporting the formation as one, it would have already exploded. Even so, the formation's tremors grew increasingly intense.

Yan Ruyu had spent a long time clearing the death qi from her body. Her expression now looked extremely grim. She had always believed her own strength was far from weak. Ever since she had grown her eighth tail feather, her talent should have been second only to the Heavenly Emperor's heir and the Eight-Crowned King.

She could fight quasi-immortals. Yet the first enemy she encountered now far surpassed the limits of the quasi-immortal realm. There was simply no way to contend against it.

Facing such an opponent, Yan Ruyu did not think she could hold the other party back for even an instant. This quasi-immortal formation would most likely not last until the Heavenly Emperor's heir arrived. Even if he did arrive, Yan Ruyu was not optimistic.

After all, this was an immortal corpse resurrecting. It was connected to a True Immortal. Even if it was only a corpse and no longer at its former peak, its combat power would still be unimaginable. If the Heavenly Emperor's heir fought it, the battle would likely be extremely difficult, with the outcome uncertain.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu let out a soft sigh. She looked up at the black palm prints continuously bombarding the formation and said, "Fellow Daoist Su, do you have any other methods?

"Once the formation breaks later, I will reveal my true form and do my best to hold the opponent back for a moment… If you have any other way, escape as quickly as possible! If you can survive, the karma I owe the Heavenly Emperor's heir can be considered repaid."

Su Yuxuan's lips curved into a smile. "Fairy Yan, there's no need to harbor thoughts of death! This formation can still hold for a few more days. After that, we'll simply switch to a new one."

With that, she took out another array disk. It was another quasi-immortal defensive array disk. Along with it came several more supreme Extreme Dao Weapons.

Yan Ruyu's eyes widened… Quasi-immortal formations being treated like cabbages was one thing. Where did the Heavenly Emperor's heir get so many supreme Extreme Dao Weapons?

The number of supreme Extreme Dao Weapons on Su Yuxuan alone exceeded all that Yan Ruyu had seen in her entire life.

At this moment, genuine envy welled up in Yan Ruyu's heart. Su Yuxuan's aptitude could only be described as average, yet because she was Ye Chen's Dao companion, she possessed so many means. Even the Holy Sons and Divine Sons of immortal ancient families and top great sects could not compare. It was simply outrageous.

Yan Ruyu could not help but wonder. If she had not rejected the Heavenly Emperor's heir back then… Would she also have all kinds of protective treasures now? Perhaps she would have even gathered all nine-colored tail feathers and faced this immortal corpse without fear?

Yan Ruyu said nothing more. She simply closed her eyes with a complicated expression. The immortal corpse also noticed the scene. A trace of surprise flashed in her indifferent eyes. But immediately afterward, killing intent surged violently.

"Mere humans actually possess so many supreme treasures! How truly ridiculous… When my Asura Clan was at its peak, humans were like pigs and dogs, all raised in blood pools as raw materials. How dare you control this world! When I emerge, I will slaughter the human race three times over, wipe out all your geniuses, break your bones and flesh, and completely exterminate your kind."

This tale has been pilfered from NovelPhoenix. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu immediately raised her brows.

Asura Clan? The other party was occupying a Heavenly Human Clan corpse, yet claimed to be from the Asura Clan?

The Asura Clan had also been a powerful race in ancient times, not much weaker than the Undying Celestial Phoenix Clan. But this clan harbored the greatest malice toward the human race and had committed the most heinous massacres.

Back when the Heavenly Emperor had not yet grown strong, he had been captured by the Asura Clan to cultivate a blood pool and was about to be bled as nourishment. Their enmity ran as deep as the sea.

Like the Heavenly Human Clan, they had been exterminated by the Heavenly Emperor in his later years. Even now, not a trace of the Asura Clan could be found in the Northern Domain.

While Yan Ruyu was still pondering, the immortal corpse let out a cold laugh. Her hoarse voice rang out again, "A mere quasi-immortal formation and a few supreme Extreme Dao Weapons. In my prime, they could not even withstand a single breath from me. Do you really think they can stop me now?"

The immortal corpse raised her hand and formed a seal. The entire Land of Fallen Immortals instantly shook. From every corner of the Land of Fallen Immortals, buried immortal corpses flew out, drawn toward her. Nine immortal corpses in total. Even though they were dead, they still emanated terrifying auras.

Yan Ruyu recognized several of them by their appearance, and her face changed drastically. Most of these immortal corpses had fallen during the Heavenly Emperor's era. Several of them had once been renowned throughout the world, so fearsome that merely mentioning their names could shake the entire cultivation world. She had never expected them all to have been collected by this being.

However, these immortal corpses only contained thick death qi. There was not the slightest trace of new life power. The Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse raised her hand, stirring yin and yang, then slammed down fiercely. All the immortal corpses shattered at once. Their immortal blood and flesh transformed into blood-colored rainbow light, which the Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse collected with a wave of her hand.

A smile appeared on the Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse's face. "Although they were all useless trash, slain by mere humans… Using immortal corpses as materials to re-cultivate the Blood Sea Immortal Scripture is still a first for me. Once I complete the re-cultivation of the Blood Sea Immortal Scripture and condense the blood lotus… Hehehe…"

The Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse stopped speaking. She simply raised her hand lightly. Then she sat down cross-legged and began refining the blood-colored rainbow light.

Yan Ruyu clearly saw that on the six wings behind her, the left wings remained pure white. But the right wings had begun to be tainted. Blood light surged across them, gradually staining them drop by drop.

This made Yan Ruyu's expression grow even graver. The Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse was already terrifyingly powerful. And she was still growing stronger.

In the next moment, several more figures flew over and directly entered the grand formation. They began bombarding the quasi-immortal formation.

Yan Ruyu's eyes widened in shock as she watched. Eleven figures had arrived—all quasi-immortals. Their cultivations varied, but they were undoubtedly genuine quasi-immortals.

What shocked Yan Ruyu the most was one elderly figure among them. She knew him well. He was the previous ancestor of her Peacock Clan. His lifespan had been running out, so he had entered the Land of Fallen Immortals in search of opportunity.

After all, immortal roots had vanished from the current cultivation world. The ancestor had guessed there might be some in the Land of Fallen Immortals and had come here. He had never returned. The clan had all assumed he had already fallen. No one had expected him to still be alive. However, his eyes were not clear. He had obviously been controlled by the immortal corpse.

On the other side, Su Yuxuan also looked surprised as she stared at one of the old men. Su Yuxuan had seen his portrait in the Nether God Holy Land. He was a Supreme Elder from a certain generation of the clan, whose achievements had helped the Nether God Holy Land prosper greatly!

Unfortunately, he had been born in the wrong era and missed the Immortal Path. Unable to wait for the next life, he had come to the Land of Fallen Immortals seeking opportunity. He too had never returned.

The two women continued watching, growing more and more shocked.

Many quasi-immortals who had once been renowned in the cultivation world but had since disappeared were all here. Among them was even an old woman wearing a yin-yang fish Daoist robe, clearly from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land.

There was also a woman who was not tall, with a youthful and innocent appearance that carried a trace of childishness, yet possessed a natural seductive charm. She stood out conspicuously among the group of old men and women. She was clearly from the Heavenly Desire Sect.

The eleven quasi-immortals attacked together with overwhelming momentum. Although their assault was not as terrifying as the immortal corpse's own strikes, it still caused the quasi-immortal formation's consumption to accelerate rapidly…
