Immortal of the Ages

Si Ji had heard of the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe but had never actually seen them.

Why was this demon tribe so notoriously feared in the Samsara Galaxy?

It was because they were the only known demons capable of generational propagation through their innate resentments.

As was widely known, resentment demons were unique grudges come to life. Their core essence was the grudge itself, which typically couldn't be reproduced.

Take Pale Revenant and her kind; it was nearly impossible for them to bear offspring since they weren't life forms in the conventional sense.

But the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe was an exception!

As resentment demons, not only could they reproduce, they could pass down their grudges from generation to generation.

Furthermore, the essence of the Blue Necrosquid Demon Tribe’s grudge was war and death. Born entirely from the malevolent aura of death, they thrived by absorbing all grudges related to death, including the fear of death itself, which fueled their power.

In essence, the more chaotic and bloodstained a region, the more it became a feast for the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe. They were like parasites, thriving on death and carnage, growing wildly powerful!

This aspect was somewhat similar to corpse demons. But unlike them, the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe didn't consume corpses nor lose their sanity. Their will was strong and lucid; they consumed the essence of death itself.

And indeed, they consumed souls.

After all, the soul was the part of death where emotions fluctuated most intensely and fear peaked.

A resentment demon that could inherit and parasitize death was a source of terror throughout the Samsara Galaxy!

Demons were often perceived as impulsive, brutal, and simple-minded. But the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe was cunning, crafty, and full of tricks.

In more flattering terms, they were quite clever.

As such, wherever the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe took charge, they easily manipulated and controlled other demons, becoming the hidden mainstream power!

In the entire Samsara Galaxy, no other group of resentment demons formed such a cohesive and dominant community as the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe.

"The Blue Necrosquid demon tribe…" Si Ji narrowed her eyes slightly.

The Heavenly Demon Stellar River was precisely the stronghold of the Blue Necrosquid Demon Tribe.

It was said that the Blue Necrosquid Demon Tribe had a presence in every Stellar River, especially in regions plagued by warfare and strife!

Si Ji didn't know which old demon of the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe she was dealing with. But from their first eye contact, she felt a chilling wariness.

Accompanying the Violet Dragon Emperor, it was clear he was one of the key supporters of the Southern Divine Dragon Realm!

This support was profoundly disturbing!

Even more revolting to Si Ji was the sight of this vile creature holding a beauty in his arms.

This was the fourth person in the Boundless Chamber. She looked very young, her skin was soft and pale, and her eyes and hair were also pure white. Flawless from head to toe, she radiated a misty, gem-like quality.

"Mist Empress..."

This woman, known as the Mist Empress, was the sect leader of the Grieving Spirit Valley. She was a rare type of mist demon.

She had also participated in the recent assassination attempt on Yun Xiao.

Now, she lay curled up like a little bird in the arms of the old Blue Necrosquid demon, nibbling on her fingertip while giving Si Ji a haunting gaze with her ghostly eyes.

The old demon’s hands and tentacles wrapped tightly around her, particularly those with suckers seemed to cling onto her, and others with barbs whose reach was unknown, causing the Mist Empress to twist and turn, entranced.

This pair of demons was bizarrely unsettling. Nearby, the Violet Dragon Emperor and the Corpse Cloud Emperor seemed to ignore the scene, smirking coldly at Si Ji.

It was as if they were taunting her, letting her know that it didn't matter if she had become a Boundless Immortal. With the Dragon Ancestor and this old Blue Necrosquid demon, she was completely outmatched.

Not a word was spoken, but the threats, oppression, and sneers were palpable.

“Look.”

The Violet Dragon Emperor suddenly pointed upwards to the screen showing what was going on in the Ancestor Immortal Grotto and chuckled. “We’ve caught a little lamb."

Si Ji looked up to see a very blurry image on the display, where numerous resentment demons emitted strange, shrill cries, surrounding a girl who looked as helpless as a white rabbit!

The girl was panicked, with nowhere to run.

Vaguely, Si Ji spotted a Blue Necrosquid demon similar to the old one but younger—a juvenile Blue Necrosquid!

Tentacles, suckers, and barbs... He was truly disgusting! The most revolting was the aura of death that emanated from him.

When his tentacles spread out fully, seen from below, they resembled a blue flower of death, blooming recklessly.

“Sending a flying talisman, are we? Who shall come to rescue this little rabbit?” the Violet Dragon Emperor mused, his eyes lingering on Si Ji with a sinister smile.

Beside him, the Corpse Cloud Emperor shrugged, amused. “Some people really shouldn’t send their treasures into the Ancestor Immortal Grotto. Isn’t that just asking for a shorter life?”

Upon hearing this, Si Ji clenched the armrests tightly, her brows furrowing deeply as anger boiled within her.

She hadn't expected that even as a Boundless Immortal, she would still feel so powerless!

These people, with their connections and backers, one after another, formed a suffocating web over the world!

Would this ever end?

▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬

Buzzing sounds filled the air as Zu Xi led the way, with Yun Xiao and others heading towards the Imperial Celestial Highlands.

Yun Xiao did not know where the Imperial Celestial Highlands were, but fortunately, Zu Xi had studied them thoroughly and proved useful.

Even so, precisely locating a spot within the Ancestor Immortal Grotto was challenging, and Zu Xi was visibly sweating from the tension and frustration.

"The Ancestor Immortal Grotto allows confrontations, but using someone as a threat is truly despicable," said Zu Xi as he clenched his teeth.

"The resentment demons can gather through their collective resentment. Surely, there's a large number of them waiting for us... It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but this mission is perilous! With the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe and a coalition of resentment demons, even the prodigies from other Stellar Rivers would be fearful," Mu Xihe said with a pale face.

"Although we've been long-standing rivals with the Elysian Immortal Palace, Yun Lingchen is a good girl. No matter the danger, we must go..." Zu Xi continued searching while glancing back at Yun Xiao, adding, "Besides, we have him!"

Knowing Yun Xiao's formidable abilities was one thing, but thinking about the strength of the resentment demons still made Mu Xihe anxious.

"Is he angry?" Mu Xihe discreetly asked her husband.

"I don't know; it's hard to tell... Yun Xiao is their target. But with Yun Lingchen having the backing of a Boundless Immortal, I suppose she should be fine," Zu Xi replied.

"Okay!" Mu Xihe nodded.

After a moment of silence, Zu Xi suddenly brightened up, turning back to say, "Found a trail! It’s about 100 miles ahead, straight to the Imperial Celestial Highlands!"

"Good! Let's go first." Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao didn't hesitate for a moment. He pulled Feng Yao onto the Sovereign Sword, and the two of them, riding the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, sped past Zu Xi in a straight line.

VROOM! They disappeared in an instant.

Zu Xi was momentarily stunned.

They were too fast to catch up.

This meant that Yun Xiao and Feng Yao were going to face the prodigies of the Heavenly Demon Stellar River alone, without intending to rely on anyone's help.

Even so, Zu Xi said, "Hurry, let's catch up!"

As they approached the battlefield, their hearts began to pound with anticipation.

▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬

VROOM! Yun Xiao sliced through the wind with the Sovereign Sword!

Feng Yao, slightly bent over, held onto his waist, hiding behind him.

"Do you come with a buffer?" Yun Xiao suddenly asked.

Feng Yao paused, and somewhat speechlessly responded, "At a time like this, you're still in the mood to flirt?"

"What time is it?" Yun Xiao asked.

"Your little white rabbit is in danger!" Feng Yao said.

"She's not in danger. They're only after us," Yun Xiao replied.

"Fine!" Feng Yao suddenly pinched him and bit her lip, scolding, "So I say she’s your little white rabbit, and you just agree?"

"..." Yun Xiao fell silent. He suddenly moved, pulling her to the front, pushing her down, and then kissed her!

"Oof!" Feng Yao, caught by the kiss, turned as red as a cooked shrimp.

In the area ahead, shrouded in celestial mist, a crowd of resentment demons suddenly widened their eyes, watching as the young man on the Sovereign Sword kissed the beauty unabashedly as they entered the scene.

"Damn!"

The demons had been holding back harsh words for so long, only to be left speechless.
