Eternal-Life

A Strand of Hair

Amidst the shocked gaze of "Yan Shuiyi," in the distant void, the air was torn apart by an invisible force, and a beautiful youth stepped out from within.

This beautiful youth was dressed in brocade clothes and gorgeous attire, clearly a woman dressed as a man, yet naturally possessing a certain charm. Handsome and dashing, elegant as a jade tree facing the wind, free and easy, traversing the myriad heavenly worlds with a flick of a finger. As soon as this woman dressed as a handsome youth stepped out, she looked toward Fang Han and smiled slightly at him.

"This is the Immortal Venerable Linglong, renowned across the myriad heavenly worlds and the immortal and demonic realms? The Immortal Venerable Linglong who even the Taiyi Sect cannot deal with, who established her own sect and stands in an invincible position?" Fang Han almost couldn't believe his eyes; the elegant, beautiful youth walking over from a distance, a woman dressed in men's clothing, was exactly the supreme sect master of a major sect.

This was simply too enormous a discrepancy from the Immortal Venerable Linglong in his imagination.

In his imagination, this supreme sect master immortal venerable should be sitting high upon the ninth heaven's clouds, looking down upon all living beings.

However, the beautiful youth in men's clothing before him had broken the Huan Yu Talisman and the "Waveriding Ten Thousand Immortals Plain Maiden Sword Array." If it wasn't this immortal venerable, who would possess such immense power in their gestures?

"Don't be afraid! She is only a wisp of an incarnation. Immortal Venerable Linglong's true body is as a guest at the Zuma Sect in the depths of the outer starry sky; she simply cannot return. Just now, this wisp of her incarnation consumed a lot of power breaking the Huan Yu Talisman, we don't need to fear her." Yan Shuiyi immediately saw through the clues, seeming to have received guidance from someone when she came out. After the shock passsed, she calmed down. The Natural Disaster Origin Spirit abruptly suppressed over, unexpectedly making a move against this incarnation of Immortal Venerable Linglong.

The Natural Disaster Origin Spirit transformed into a boundless tribulation cloud, from which transmitted the sounds of volcanic eruptions and moving continental plates, sufficient to harm experts of the Longevity Mystery Realm. The doomsday disaster, the Taiyi Sect's supreme supernatural power, required the combined efforts of twelve Great Golden Core experts to execute, and even the self-detonation of countless Heavenly Demon Kings was useless; its power was evident.

"Fan Qingying" also flashed, and the tip of her sword flung out the "Great Chaos Lightning Method," while on her hair, the "Heart Lightning Righteous Method" erupted once again, besieging Fang Han. At the same time, a wisp of light ring behind her head flew out, actually transforming into a powerful heaven-and-earth dharma idol, wrapping around Fang Han like a ghost or demon, preventing him from escaping.

This woman had actually held back her strength at the beginning.

Her strength was still above Fang Han's. If she went all out, Fang Han would have to exert all his skills to escape.

"Yan Shuiyi, you are but a wisp of the Water God's source spirit. Even if you were the true immemorial Water God, it would only be equivalent to the seventh or eighth level power of the Longevity Mystery Realm, still not my match. Although I am a wisp of an incarnation, I am not something you can contend with."

Seeing the "Natural Disaster Origin Spirit" pressing over, the void around the beautiful youth that Immortal Venerable Linglong incarnated into abruptly flickered. Streaks of spatial rifts were born; unimaginably fierce space-time storms flickered within. The impactful power of the Natural Disaster Origin Spirit rolled past her, but no matter what, it could not harm her main body.

At this moment, this beautiful youth in men's clothing was like a divine statue standing between heaven and earth; after hundreds of millions of years of impact, it remained completely unmoved, eternally immortal and imperishable through myriad tribulations.

"Linglong Great Luo Heaven!"

Yan Shuiyi's whole body trembled. The Azure Sea Divine Pearl spun, and the Waveriding Ten Thousand Immortals Plain Maiden Sword Array pressed down towards her. At the same time, this High-Grade Dao Artifact, the Azure Sea Divine Pearl, spewed out tens of thousands of water currents, turning the space between heaven and earth into a world of water: "Changes of the azure sea, gathering of water power, boundless and inexhaustible, overturning seas and rivers! Linglong! Both you and I are disciples of the Taiyi Sect. I simply do not believe that the power of a wisp of your incarnation can contend against my full power coupled with the Azure Sea Divine Pearl!"

"Even if Taihuangtian came, he wouldn't be able to do anything to me. Are you, a gleam of light from a grain of rice, really showing off your brightness?"

The expression on this wisp of Immortal Venerable Linglong's incarnation suddenly became majestic; her brocade clothes and gorgeous attire fluttered. Without any visible movements, the space around her automatically shifted, like an unimaginably massive chessboard. It was still the supernatural power of the Linglong Great Luo Heaven; those water currents were entirely seeped into the spatial rifts.

She walked over step by step; no power could stop her footsteps.

"Descent of the Water God!"

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Yan Shuiyi suddenly bit the tip of her tongue, spraying a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Azure Sea Divine Pearl. The Azure Sea Divine Pearl immediately expanded tenfold; between heaven and earth, infinite water elemental power swarmed over. Even the Water Sovereign Astral Qi within Fang Han's body surged continuously! About to burst out of his body, drawn by the Azure Sea Divine Pearl.

This mouthful of fresh blood from Yan Shuiyi was no small matter; it contained sixty years of her lifespan, her hard-cultivated vital energy. This was a grand self-mutilating method, which she couldn't possibly execute against Fang Han because it wasn't worth it, but Immortal Venerable Linglong was different. Even if it was a wisp of an incarnation, it was extraordinary.

Amid the entire Nine Heavens Astral Wind, the water elemental power gathered desperately. Unexpectedly, a massive aerial ocean appeared. Subsequently, a Water God appeared within the ocean; its whole body was azure blue, holding a Qi-shaped ancient shovel. The upper half was human, and the lower half was a snake, with long fur, all azure blue, a hundred zhang tall, towering amidst the clouds, opening its vacant eyes.

This was actually the form of the immemorial Water God!

As soon as the immemorial Water God's form condensed, the pressure increased tenfold. Fang Han exerted all his effort to circulate the Five Emperors Great Demon Mahamudra, barely stabilizing the surge of the Water Sovereign Qi. This wasn't because the quality of the Water Sovereign Astral Qi was too poor, but because his cultivation was relatively weak and his realm was lower. No matter how majestic his power was, he was ultimately still at the Golden Core realm.

"What is Great Luo? All time and space, eternally free and easy, that is Great Luo. What is Golden Immortal? A golden nature that is immortal, imperishable through myriad tribulations!"

As the Water God condensed, the pressure was monstrous, and the aerial ocean appeared. Yet, this incarnation of Immortal Venerable Linglong showed no fear at all. Strolling forward, no matter how ferocious the water lightning or the surging power of the water was, it had absolutely no effect on her, as if she were in another parallel space.

As she strolled, wherever she walked, the water waves there dissipated. In an instant, the space under her feet compressed infinitely, the world shrank before her; the entire time and space was mastered by her, the entire heaven and earth changed because of her. She was the absolute master of time and space.

Even, above the sky, a mysterious origin point appeared. Within the origin point, a huge door vaguely manifested; it seemed as if pushing open this door could lead into the immortal world.

Crash!

The huge door suddenly vibrated slightly, and boundless immortal world vital energy poured down, landing directly on the top of the Water God's head.

The hundred-zhang tall Water God was instantly struck till it collapsed.

The Water God condensed from Yan Shuiyi expending nearly sixty years of a sexagenary cycle's lifespan was actually directly crushed. Just how powerful was this Immortal Venerable Linglong? Unimaginable to such an extent!

Yan Shuiyi hastily retreated!

About to flee away, but it was too late. Immortal Venerable Linglong pointed with a finger, and around Yan Shuiyi, another massive chessboard appeared. The texture of the chessboard was space-time rifts, wrapping her fiercely tightly.

"Pfft!"

All the water elemental power was almost shaken apart, and Yan Shuiyi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood again.

"Scatter!" Immortal Venerable Linglong pointed with a finger once more. Instantly, that Azure Sea Divine Pearl was again wrapped by the chessboard. The cutting power of time and space struck this divine pearl until it spun wildly; the clouds and water inside surged violently, suffering immense damage.

Hiss!

"Fan Qingying" saw the situation was bad; abandoning Fang Han, she struck out a sword. Chaos Lightning Method was everywhere, blasting towards Immortal Venerable Linglong. The power was much greater than when attacking Fang Han, even making the chessboard condensed from the Linglong Great Luo Heaven supernatural power shake fiercely.

"Chaos Lightning Method; you have only refined the first layer of its power. You cannot blast open time and space, and you cannot make all things turn into chaos. I will teach you two moves, letting you know what true Chaos Lightning Method is."

Immortal Venerable Linglong pointed again, and immediately, fully a hundred thousand chaos lightning balls flew out from the void rifts, counter-bombarding Fan Qingying, directly breaking apart this blind woman's lightning method, and striking against her body.

"Fan Qingying"'s body was shocked; the treasured sword in her palm danced, wrapping herself within it, but it was of no use at all. It was directly blasted open, the person flew backwards, and fresh blood dripped out from her blinded eyes.

"Linglong Great Luo, Eternal Suppression…"

After Immortal Venerable Linglong defeated Fan Qingying, she flipped her palm and directly pressed Yan Shuiyi forcefully beneath the Nine Heavens Astral Wind. And that Azure Sea Divine Pearl was captured and held.

Break!

The Waveriding Ten Thousand Immortals Plain Maiden Sword Array was also blasted unbroken by a casual lightning strike from Immortal Venerable Linglong. Tens of thousands of treasured swords flew everywhere. That Dao Artifact, the Jade Blood Soft Water Sword, was also blasted into its original form: a graceful woman in green clothes, acting flustered.

"Great opportunity!" Fang Han finally escaped from the trap, violently waving his hand. The Pagoda of Eight Tribes flew out, directly suppressing down. The huge blood-colored Buddha inside opened its large hand and grabbed this flying sword in its hand, which jumped continuously.

"Mad Demon Reducing Lifespan!"

Witnessing this scene, in an instant, Yan Shuiyi swallowed a pill, and her magic power surged wildly. The Azure Sea Divine Pearl was triggered again, expanding to its limit, suddenly exploding with a bang, turning into tens of thousands of water elemental energy talismans. Each talisman shifted like dragons and snakes, all reabsorbed into her body.

"Heaven and Earth Water Escape!"

At this moment, she fled without hesitation.

Immortal Venerable Linglong raised her hand again, and an immense force bombarded into the void, Bam! This woman was forcefully shaken out, spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, melted into the water clouds, and sped up by a thousand times, unexpectedly utilizing a blood escape.

That "Fan Qingying" also took a few leaps, leaving even faster than Yan Shuiyi. For a moment, the sky-filling killing intent dissipated entirely, and the water clouds were swept away by the astral wind.

Only a single sword array remained, tens of thousands of flying swords indiscriminately flying around; when Yan Shuiyi left, she surprisingly did not have the time to take away the "Waveriding Ten Thousand Immortals Plain Maiden Array."

Now, these tens of thousands of flying swords and the array diagram also wanted to fly away automatically, but how could they be allowed to have their wish? Immortal Venerable Linglong beckoned with a hand, and the chessboard of the Linglong Great Luo Heaven covered down, trapping all the flying swords and the array diagram within, swirling for a while. It turned into a scroll of painting; those flying swords were all on the painting. Unexpectedly, in an instant, they were refined.

"Immortal Venerable Linglong, may you enjoy immortal fortune eternally, may your lifespan equal the heavens, enduring through all generations, imperishable since time immemorial."

Seeing Immortal Venerable Linglong step in and defeat two great experts, sweeping them away like dead leaves, Fang Han was astounded to the extreme in his heart. Steadying himself, he hastily stepped forward to pay his respects, flattering heavily.

"No need for excessive formalities; this is not my true body. My true body is a guest at the Zuma Sect in the depths of the outer starry sky, five hundred trillion miles away. Sensing that you, the one delivering a gift to me, were in danger, I plucked a hair, endowed it with a thousand years of cultivation, and traveled through time and space to come here. The form you see now is transformed from a single strand of my hair; the thousand years of cultivation have been exhausted, and it signifies the return to its original form…"

Immortal Venerable Linglong waved her hand; her body began to blur, her entire figure’s vital energy became thin, leaving a single long strand of dark hair in the middle.
