Immortal of the Ages

Chen Xi was a woman of frosty intelligence. Back in the Heavenly Realm, her cooperation with Yun Xiao had always been nothing short of perfect. So, at this moment, she clearly understood why Yun Xiao decisively beheaded the Crown Prince and imprisoned his spirit.

With a humming sound, the Crown Prince’s body, which had clung to life for so many years, also turned to dust under the violet flames in Yun Xiao’s hand. His death was quite unexpected.

After he perished, the colorful lights of the celestial formation shone even more brilliantly, illuminating the dim cosmos.

Watching the radiant figures within the celestial formation, Yun Xiao somewhat wished he could strike with his sword before the arrival was complete, to leave the newcomer dead before even touching the ground...

However, he decided against it. The risk was too great! What he truly wished to resolve now was the threat of the Chaos Soul. With a third party intervening without known intentions, caution was paramount.

At this moment, Yun Xiao, Divine Dawn, and the War Princess, among others, all wore grave expressions.

“You two, step back,” Yun Xiao instructed the Devil Eye and Cao Shuo.

The Devil Eye had other uses, and Thunder Emissary Cao had low self-preservation abilities; neither were fit to meet this forebear's messenger.

“Understood!”

Meanwhile, Yun Xiao, Divine Dawn, and the War Princess advanced towards the colorful celestial formation.

Yun Xiao stepped back, allowing Divine Dawn to lead this perilous and uncertain meeting.

They were all eager to reach the Stellar Spring of Life! But with the forebear's arrival imminent, it was crucial to harness this power... otherwise, it would be exploited by others. Or it could bring even greater trouble.

Under their solemn gazes, the celestial formation flashed brightly one last time, like fireworks at their most brilliant, before suddenly vanishing.

The celestial formation disappeared, but the person had arrived!

All the colorful lights of the celestial formation converged on this figure, uniting into a white torrent that ultimately solidified into a flawless white celestial robe on the figure.

The celestial formation itself became his robe, a testament to his lofty status.

The moment this individual appeared, he brought with him an intangible pressure.

As the colorful light faded, Yun Xiao fixed his gaze forward.

He saw a figure, a young man in white, handsome with arched brows and bright eyes, carrying himself with an air of grandeur. His skin emitted a faint luminescence, his presence lofty and profound. His face was noble, his eyes deep with meaning, like a pillar holding up the sky, embodying the essence of standing tall and unyielding.

Such an image surpassed even the righteous emperors and princes in terms of dignity and rectitude, shining like a radiant sun, casting warmth and hope.

Most striking was the halo vertically positioned behind his head, clinging closely as if it grew from his brain.

This visage, identical to that of an Immortal as described in mortal myths, referred to this halo as a corona, a symbol of divinity, nobility, and celestial power.

Yun Xiao could also sense a unique power within the corona, different from the Dao Heart or spirit—a seemingly higher dimension that was not only aesthetically supreme but surely possessed extraordinary functions.

At the very least, the presence of this halo made Yun Xiao feel as if this man was isolated from the world, as if surrounded by an impenetrable shield that neither gazes nor spiritual forces could penetrate to discern his true nature.

So, his strength was difficult to gauge.

Given the disturbances caused by his celestial formation, he might very well have the power to destroy heavens and reverse the cosmic flow.

Such a forebear's emissary undoubtedly introduced many unpredictable impacts to the current situation.

Yun Xiao gave Divine Dawn a look, signaling her to take the lead in greeting.

Divine Dawn nodded.

At this time, the young man in white had absorbed the light of the celestial formation. He took a deep breath to stabilize the power within him, then began to survey this world, so alien to him.

His first glance naturally fell upon the trio of Yun Xiao.

As the young man's eyes locked onto them, Yun Xiao felt as if the very world around them tightened, compressing every pore on his body with a palpable sense of pressure.

The young man in white stared at them for a long while, his profound gaze sweeping over Divine Dawn, the War Princess, and Yun Xiao, his expression unfathomably calm.

His voice was deep and magnetic, breaking the silence with a command, "Declare your identities."

Divine Dawn slightly bowed her head and responded, "Humbly addressing the ancestor's emissary, I am Shen Xi, daughter of the ruler of this realm. May I inquire how to address you, sir?"

The young man in white spoke plainly, "I am the Ancestral Divine Imperial Son."

After hearing this, Yun Xiao could not tell if this title referred to the Emperor's son or brother.

"I greet the Divine Imperial Son," the young woman in white said respectfully, her demeanor quite proper.

The Divine Imperial Son nodded, his dazzling halo following as he approached the trio, casually asking, "Who has issued the Ancestral Summoning? What is the matter?"

"It was me!" Divine Dawn composed herself, her voice tinged with sadness, "To inform the Divine Imperial Son, this realm was once prosperous and peaceful. However, in recent years, a reincarnated fiend emerged. This wicked being has committed untold atrocities, defying celestial laws, and has recently waged war using despicable means to assassinate my father, the Emperor, and my imperial brothers, massacring my kinsfolk. Our clan has been wiped out, the cosmic order has collapsed, and I alone remain, struggling to persevere."

"A reincarnated one? Has reincarnated here? And exterminated your entire clan?" The Divine Imperial Son furrowed his brows, his eyes flashing coldly, "Where is this reincarnated one now? I will obliterate his soul, denying him any further chance of reincarnation."

"I know his location, Divine Imperial Son, please follow me," Divine Dawn said quietly.

Her delicate and touching appearance, speaking in Lian Xi's soft and appealing tone, surely drew sympathy—a natural advantage that Yun Xiao envied.

In just a few words, the Divine Imperial Son believed her.

As they set off, she appeared anxious and said to the Divine Imperial Son, "This wicked being is named Lu Fan, a fiend skilled in soul control. He has deceived my mother and many other women, usurping my father's harem. Now, he has gone mad, cultivating an All Life Empress Gu, intending to devour the souls of all living beings and extinguish humanity!"

"Life-force, is it? Daring to meddle with that is indeed a death wish." The Divine Imperial Son's eyes grew colder, his intent to kill rising.

In just a few sentences, Divine Dawn had pinned Yun Xiao's slaughter and the disaster of the Celestial Court's life-force entirely on Lu Fan.

Her words of shifting blame, coupled with her appealing image, made it difficult for any outsider to disbelieve her, especially given her identity as the seventh imperial princess.

Moreover, she had mentioned the soul control of Empress Zhao and others; if any discrepancies were revealed later, she could simply claim these celestial women were bewitched.

The Divine Imperial Son was decisive, asking Divine Dawn to lead the way, and the four of them quickly headed towards the Stellar Spring of Life.

During this time, Yun Xiao sent a flying talisman to Cao Shuo nearby.

"What are you sending?" the Divine Imperial Son noticed and scrutinized Yun Xiao with a piercing gaze.

"I'm arranging for more people to protect the civilians in the mortal realm, to prevent excessive damage from the upcoming battle," Yun Xiao respectfully said.

"An unnecessary precaution," the Divine Imperial Son said, displeased.

He meant that dealing with Lu Fan would not cause much disturbance.

"Yes!" Yun Xiao bowed his head.

Though the flying talisman was already sent, the Divine Imperial Son did not pursue the matter further...
