80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled-Chapter 368 - The Aura of Life

Chapter 368: The Aura of Life

The crystal skeletons of the four ancient cities were very domineering and united.

Since ancient times, they had never been so united.

They themselves found it incredible.

But now, they had already decided that they must kill the crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court. Even if the supreme scepter of the Immortal Court appeared, they also wouldn’t hesitate to do so.

Moreover, they firmly believed that the bone pagoda that the four of them controlled together wouldn’t be weaker than the Immortal Court’s supreme scepter.

Retreating without even fighting wasn’t their style.

At this moment, their auras surged. The four old enemies abandoned their previous grudges and worked together. Their auras overlapped and burned like the sun, dispelling the darkness and shattering the death energy. Then, they carried the bone pagoda and directly suppressed it down with a rumbling sound.

The invincible force made the world tremble.

The mountains and rivers trembled.

If it weren’t for the fact that there was the Well of Heaven Ascension in the distance and a mountain-like crocodile ancestor suppressing heaven and earth, the world would have long split apart.

But now, the world was also trembling.

Boom!

This terrifying impact suppressed down, making the three crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court feel extremely aggrieved.

They were furious!

They were filled with hatred!

They were resentful!

When they were alive, they were the rulers of the supreme Immortal Court. They were extremely powerful, represented heaven and earth to execute punishments, and killed all enemies.

How glorious was that?

How comfortable was that?

How high-spirited were they then?

But the God Race wanted to pull them along to resist the Seven Races of the Ancient Age.

The God Race was crazy!

Were the Seven Races of the Ancient Age that easy to resist?

They were all created by the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, yet the God Race wanted to resist?

Moreover, the Immortal Court was already in control of the world. How could they give up everything so easily and resist the Seven Races of the Ancient Age with the God Race?

The Immortal Court rejected the God Race without hesitation and completely cut off all ties with the God Race.

Then, the God Race attacked the Immortal Court and the Seven Races of the Ancient Age alone.

No one expected that in the end, the God Race and the Immortal Court would be destroyed together.

The tragedy of that battle could no longer be described with words.

Countless people and races perished. Towards the end, many worlds were shattered.

Logically speaking, after a person died, everything would cease to exist.

But who would have thought that outside the vast mortal realm, there was also a mysterious and unfathomable Death Realm?

The Death Realm could take in people who died in the mortal realm.

Logically speaking, those who reached or surpassed the Immortal King Realm couldn’t enter the Death Realm.

The King of Gods was forcefully stuffed in by someone. She used a coffin and brought her remnant soul to the Death Realm.

The crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court also descended into the Death Realm for various magical reasons.

They subsequently awakened their memories and knew that they weren’t dead. They were overjoyed and began to gather some skeletons of the Immortal Court.

In this endless wasteland, they built the Immortal Court of the Death Realm.

There were dozens of ancient cities. They were very powerful, so much so that the vast wilderness that spanned a million miles became theirs.

If outsiders wanted to enter, they would suffer a heavy blow. Over time, a legend of a terrifying monster was born in the depths of the vast wasteland.

The Immortal Court’s plan was quite good. They occupied the vast wasteland and slowly searched for the Well of Heaven Ascension. Then, they would all enter the mortal realm through the Well of Heaven Ascension and rebuild the Immortal Court.

Especially when they obtained one of the Immortal Court’s supreme treasures, the supreme scepter, in the Death Realm.

This gave them a lot of confidence.

They believed that they were the messiah of the Immortal Court, the pioneers of rebuilding the Immortal Court.

They were people who were to be revered and respected by future generations, people who would save the Immortal Court from destruction.

But…

Just as they were preparing to explore the Well of Heaven Ascension deep in the wasteland, the King of the Netherworld descended.

The King of the Netherworld, who was also the King of Gods, went deep into the depths of the Death Realm under the guidance of Elder Universe and then advanced to the crystal skeleton level.

Then, she discovered that there were members of the Immortal Court deep in the vast wasteland.

Moreover, these members of the Immortal Court wanted to rebuild the Immortal Court and return to the mortal realm.

Lin Jiufeng had heard from Elder Universe that the King of the Netherworld had once entered the vast wasteland alone and started a massacre. She fought until the sun and moon lost their light and the Death Realm shook, causing countless people to believe that there was a terrifying thing deep in the Death Realm.

The King of the Netherworld succeeded. She killed the various members of the Immortal Court in the depths of the Great Desolate. Countless huge cities were destroyed, and only one was left.

In this ancient city, there were four crystal skeletons hiding in the dark. They used the supreme scepter of the Immortal Court to hide and escaped this calamity.

They had been living a very aggrieved life during this period of time.

But they had to endure it. The King of Gods was too powerful and domineering. When she saw the people of the Immortal Court, she didn’t waste time saying too much. She just said one word—kill!

She killed until the world turned dark and the crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court trembled in fear.

They could only endure.

Until…

The King of Gods found the Well of Heaven Ascension and left the Death Realm.

At first, many people didn’t believe that the King of Gods had left the depths of the Death Realm. After waiting for a thousand years, they finally confirmed that the King of Gods, who was also the King of the Netherworld, had left.

These thousand years gave Elder Universe time to recover his cultivation base. With the huge resources left behind by the King of Gods, he recovered to his peak.

Then, a huge battle that shocked the depths of the Death Realm happened.

Elder Universe, who had just recovered to his peak, had no idea what happened at all. He was found by the four crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court who had been angry for more than a thousand years.

The four crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court thought that Elder Universe knew where the Well of Heaven Ascension was, so they wanted to interrogate him and enter the mortal realm.

How could Elder Universe know?

The battle erupted!

It was unknown how intense this battle was. Elder Universe’s strength was at its peak, and the four crystal skeletons were the same. They attacked together and didn’t use the supreme scepter, thinking that they were enough to defeat Elder Universe.

But they underestimated Elder Universe’s might. After all, he was the person who had buried the Immortal Court and the God Race.

In a situation where it was one against four, Elder Universe still killed one and injured three. His head was also separated, and he fled in a hurry.

The remaining three crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court brought Elder Universe’s body back to the ancient city. They set up an array formation and imprisoned his body for 20,000 years.

Hence, the time came to this point.

The three crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court had recovered from their injuries. Although they weren’t at their peak, they weren’t far from it.

Who knew that as soon as they reemerged, they would be attacked by the four crystal skeletons and a bone dragon? This was simply extremely infuriating to them.

Did they provoke anyone?

Hence, facing the suppression of the bone pagoda, the three crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court elevated the strength to their peak. They burned their magic power and True Qi and summoned the supreme scepter of the Immortal Court.

“You guys want to kill us? Dream on! The Immortal Court is high and mighty, not something you guys can humiliate!” A crystal skeleton from the Immortal Court shouted coldly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After the supreme scepter was activated, it devoured a huge amount of True Qi and death energy. It erupted, and its lethality shocked the world. The killing intent was vast and mighty, surging like a sea. Wherever it passed, the void became a black hole, shrouded in strands of chaotic energy.

Dang!

It collided with the bone pagoda. The white pagoda rumbled like a thunder god roaring and raging.

Blood light spurted out one after another. The nomological powers that the four crystal skeletons summoned together appeared. They transformed into four divine lights of order that slashed forward together.

Their auras were aggressive, wanting to kill the crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court.

Without reasoning.

They didn’t care about the Well of Heaven Ascension or the golden crocodile ancestor.

They were filled with killing intent for the crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court.

“We hold the scepter of the Heavenly Courts in our hands. Today, we will punish you all for offending the dignity of the Immortal Court. Your crimes cannot be forgiven!” A crystal skeleton of the Immortal Court shouted. It mobilized its huge nomological True Qi and the chains of order. They entangled together and controlled the golden scepter to suppress the ancient pagoda.

Mobilized by these energies, the Immortal Court’s supreme scepter was invincible. It bloomed with a resplendent light as if it had its own life.

The Immortal Court’s supreme scepter was devouring the essence of the world. It surged in the primal chaos and delivered a huge and terrifying attack. It struck the bone pagoda down a few times.

Rumble!

In an instant, the world collapsed. The Immortal Court’s supreme scepter completely displayed its might, wanting to destroy the bone pagoda and the crystal skeletons of the four ancient cities together.

Ka! Ka! Ka!

The bone pagoda was forced to retreat step by step. The pressure was huge. Although they were both powerful magic treasures, the five-colored skeletons in the surroundings could see that the supreme scepter of the Immortal Court was suppressing the bone pagoda.

“This is a treasure that the Immortal Court has refined for 30,000 years. The Immortal Court has ruled the world for 30,000 years, and the majesty and might that it represents are all gathered on this treasure. The supreme scepter is the Immortal Court, and the Immortal Court is the supreme scepter. With this treasure, we will definitely be able to restore the former glory of the Immortal Court!” The crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court shouted angrily. Their expression was proud as they watched the supreme scepter suppress the bone pagoda. Their soul flames soared to a terrifying extent.

They were full of confidence.

“This won’t do. This scepter used to be the number one killing artifact of the Immortal Court! This scepter was born with the divine runes of the Great Dao imprinted on it. It was created by nature. Later on, the Immortal Court used 30,000 years of their might to feed it. After experiencing the refining of the past lords of the Immortal Court, it’s too powerful.” The crystal skeleton of the Giant City roared and resisted with difficulty, supporting the bone pagoda.

The other three crystal skeletons were the same. They resisted with difficulty.

They forcefully supported the bone pagoda and withstood the pressure of the supreme scepter.

Although it was very strenuous, none of them talked about giving up.

This was very strange.

“Bone Dragon, are you still not going to make a move?” The crystal skeleton from the Beast King City roared and asked the bone dragon to help. The Immortal Court’s supreme scepter was too powerful.

Boom!

The bone dragon moved. It opened its mouth and spat out. An extremely terrifying Great Dao flame brewed in its throat before it spat it out.

This was a very terrifying Great Dao Lava.

It wanted to burn the three crystal skeletons.

However, not only were the crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court not afraid, they instead roared something.

“Crocodile Ancestor, make your move.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Including Elder Universe who had just rushed over. His eyes widened. He held the Immortal Slaying Sword and couldn’t believe his eyes.

“How is this possible? Isn’t the crocodile ancestor the guardian of the Well of Heaven Ascension? Why would it help the crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court?” Elder Universe asked in shock.

He saw with his own eyes that the crocodile ancestor, who was guarding the Well of Heaven Ascension, used its mountain-like body to withstand the breath of the bone dragon. Then, it roared at the sky, glaring at the bone dragon.

Roar!!!

The roar of the crocodile ancestor was very shocking. It shattered everything in the surroundings. Be it the death energy, the dark clouds, or the primal chaos, they all disappeared. Only the huge mountain-like Crocodile Ancestor was left staring fixedly at the bone dragon.

“Aren’t you the crocodile ancestor? Why are you helping the people of the Immortal Court?” Elder Universe was shocked and angry as he directly asked.

The three crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court were controlling the supreme scepter to suppress the bone pagoda. When they heard Elder Universe’s words, they immediately looked at him.

“As expected, you are very weak. You were just pretending previously. Running out now is just seeking death!” A crystal skeleton of the Immortal Court laughed out loud.

“Why is the crocodile ancestor guarding the Well of Heaven Ascension helping you guys?” Elder Universe asked in shock.

“Because of you!” The crystal skeleton of the Immortal Court shouted angrily.

“Because of me?” Elder Universe pointed at himself and said in surprise.

“Of course it’s because of you. The crocodile ancestor has guarded the Well of Heaven Ascension for countless years. No one has managed to go past it and enter the Well of Heaven Ascension and head to the mortal realm. But 20,000 years ago, the King of Gods did it. Crocodile Ancestor was defeated by the King of Gods. Until now, it still holds a grudge.”

“In the current situation, since you guys joined forces, then we can only join forces with the crocodile ancestor. We promised not to enter the Well of Heaven Ascension in exchange for the support of the crocodile ancestor. Moreover, we also promised to help Crocodile Ancestor deal with you guys. It will naturally be willing to cooperate with us.”

“Now, we have the supreme scepter of the Immortal Court and the support of Crocodile Ancestor. You guys want to kill us, but you guys are thinking too much. Instead, you guys are in danger now. The first being that Crocodile Ancestor wants to kill is you.”

The three crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court laughed out loud to vent the depression and anger in their hearts.

They were in a very dangerous situation now, so they abandoned the Well of Heaven Ascension in exchange for the support of the crocodile ancestor.

Since they had abandoned the Well of Heaven Ascension, they had to kill all these despicable skeletons in front of them.

The three crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court continued to control the supreme scepter to suppress the bone pagoda, wanting to kill the crystal skeletons of the four ancient cities.

As for the crocodile ancestor, it immediately turned and charged towards Elder Universe. It was aggressive and swung its tail. Its tail was like a wisp of gold on the horizon, directly crushing over, making one tremble in fear.

The bone dragon roared angrily. It wanted to save Elder Universe.

It wasn’t that they knew each other, but that now that they were fighting, they naturally had to rope in all the forces that they could rope in.

But the crocodile ancestor bit down from the front. Its huge mouth and terrifying bite force made the bone dragon avoid it, unable to save Elder Universe.

Facing this tail, Elder Universe gathered the strength that he had painstakingly recovered. He raised the Immortal Slaying Sword high and slashed down ruthlessly.

Clang!

The 100,000 feet long golden crocodile was like a thick mountain ridge. Its tail was like a sharp mountain peak. The extreme pressure it carried when it swung over was extremely terrifying.

But the Immortal Slaying Sword wasn’t to be trifled with either. Black light flickered and shot out a wisp of emperor’s might. In front of the tail of this 100,000 feet long crocodile, killing intent filled the air. The divine radiance that struck over transformed into a stream of light that ruthlessly attacked.

Roar!!!!

The crocodile ancestor was fighting the bone dragon head-on. It was in the middle of a fight, and it even had the absolute advantage, suppressing the bone dragon.

After all, the bone dragon was at the half-step Crystal Skeleton Realm. It could challenge the crystal skeleton of the Immortal Court by relying on its body, bloodline, and terrifying soul power.

But now, the golden crocodile ancestor wasn’t inferior to it at all in terms of these factors.

Moreover, the golden crocodile ancestor was at the Crystal Skeleton Realm.

This suppressive power made the bone dragon feel restrained and greatly pressured.

Especially when the crocodile ancestor almost bit the bone dragon’s tail off just now.

This scared the bone dragon, causing it to retreat far away.

Then, it heard the crocodile ancestor roar into the sky, letting out an extremely painful wail.

This huge roar scared everyone until they stopped their attacks and watched in shock.

Elder Universe, who hadn’t recovered much, held the Immortal Slaying Sword and actually cut off the tail of the crocodile ancestor with one strike.

This was too terrifying.

This was the crocodile ancestor! Its body wasn’t something that ordinary skeletons could compare to.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been the one guarding the most important thing in the Death Realm, the Well of Heaven Ascension, all these years.

That was why everyone stopped fighting and watched in shock.

“It’s that sword!” A crystal skeleton from the Immortal Court shouted.

They immediately saw the problem.

Although Elder Universe had gotten back his body, the time period was too short, he definitely hadn’t recovered to his peak.

It was already very good that he had the strength of a five-colored skeleton now.

Hence, it was absolutely impossible for him to cut off the crocodile ancestor’s tail.

The only possible reason was the sword.

That ordinary-looking gray sword.

“If we can snatch that sword, we will be invincible.” Another crystal skeleton from the Immortal Court shouted and instantly moved.

As for the crocodile ancestor, it also turned around angrily and pounced straight at Elder Universe.

The bone dragon and the crystal skeletons of the four ancient cities turned pale with fright.

“Stop them, this is a life and death battle!” The bone dragon roared and chased after them.

The crystal skeletons of the four ancient cities were the same. Carrying the bone pagoda, they directly attacked and smashed towards the crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court.

But the crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court ignored them. Their target was the Immortal Slaying Sword in Elder Universe’s hand.

Elder Universe, who was surrounded by so many crystal skeletons, was a little afraid.

‘Damn it, this sword given to me by Immortal King Lin is so powerful. Now, I feel like an ordinary man who’s holding something too valuable for his own good.’ Elder Universe cursed silently. He couldn’t escape now. Even with the Immortal Slaying Sword in hand, he could only attack one target.

Dong dong dong!

The first to attack was still the crocodile ancestor. It charged over and directly slapped over with its claws.

It took care to avoid being injured by Elder Universe again.

Boom!

Then, Elder Universe really couldn’t hurt it anymore. The gap in strength between them was still too big.

Elder Universe could only use the Immortal Slaying Sword to protect himself.

Then, he was sent flying.

Halfway while he was sent flying, the crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court rushed over, wanting to snatch the Immortal Slaying Sword.

Elder Universe was so scared that he hurriedly shouted, “Immortal King Lin, save me!”

“No one can save you!” The crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court shouted coldly.

It instantly closed in, scaring Elder Universe into slashing at it, but the attack was easily dodged.

“It’s too wasteful for you to hold this treasured sword.” The crystal skeleton of the Immortal Court urged the supreme scepter to sweep down, rumbling and trembling slightly.

The pressure made Elder Universe’s soul flame tremble.

“As I said, you will definitely die!”

“I didn’t kill you 20,000 years ago and let you escape. But now, you will definitely die!”

“Even a supreme existence from the legends won’t be able to save you!”

The crystal skeleton of the Immortal Court said coldly. In the very next moment, it was about to extinguish Elder Universe’s soul flame.

But in the very next moment, the Immortal Slaying Sword moved on its own.

Accompanied by a voice that reverberated through the world.

“Is that so?”

“You said that he can’t be saved, but I refuse to believe it!”

“There’s no need for a supreme existence to come, I am enough to kill you!”

This voice, coupled with the Immortal Slaying Sword and the terrifying energy that filled the air, directly slashed out a shocking strike like a vast river.

This scene stunned everyone present.

The sword danced in the wind, and the sword energy was like snow and frost.

That cold light swept out and directly advanced, pressing forward.

The crystal skeleton of the Immortal Court only felt its soul flame tremble and turn cold. It was very terrifying. It immediately let the supreme scepter block in front of it.

Clang!

The sword energy of the Immortal Slaying Sword collided with the supreme scepter, erupting with a deafening sound. Terrifying energy surged, quickly spreading in all directions, and even reaching 80,000 feet into the clouds. It was shocking.

Pu! Pu!

The crystal skeleton of the Immortal Court was directly struck to the point that its soul flame even spat out blood. Its body directly flew out, unable to stop at all. Fortunately, it was stopped by the other two crystal skeletons.

At this moment, everyone fell silent.

Everyone watched in horror. That strike from the Immortal Slaying Sword just now scared them into not daring to act rashly.

As for the sword energy of Immortal Slaying Sword, it instantly retracted. It went from extremely gorgeous to ultimately dim.

It retracted onto the sword body.

The Immortal Slaying Sword left Elder Universe and stood in the air.

It was quiet. It was as if that brilliant strike just now wasn’t released from it.

The transition from resplendent to quiet was completed in an instant. This ease of control was even more terrifying than the power of the strike itself.

“Who exactly is it that’s hiding in the dark and attacking?” The crocodile ancestor roared in a low voice. It was furious, but it had no choice but to endure it.

The others were the same.

The battle had already reached the climax. If another peerless powerhouse joined the battle, that would be a terrifying thing.

Especially when this person knew Elder Universe.

To the crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court and the crocodile ancestor, these two factors were both very terrifying things.

“Hahaha, who is it? This is Immortal King Lin! Immortal King Lin is already invincible!” Elder Universe roared excitedly.

“Aren’t you guys going to kneel down?”

“20,000 years ago, the King of the Netherworld suppressed the Death Realm and was invincible.”

“20,000 years later, Immortal King Lin came here to tell you all that a king cannot be humiliated!”

“Immortal King Lin has already descended to this place!”

“Those who encounter him but don’t kneel, your true fate has been lost. Your name is now on the monument of reincarnation.”

“Hurry up and kowtow each step of the way. This way, your sins in the Well of Heaven Ascension will be halved. Immortal King Lin will protect your True Spirit.”

Elder Universe stood under the Immortal Slaying Sword, looking down on the masses and spouting nonsense. His words angered the few crystal skeletons of the Immortal Court and the crocodile ancestor.

In the Life Force Great Dao Array Formation, Immortal King Lin was also speechless.

‘I only integrated with the Life Force Great Dao Array Formation, that’s all. I’m not that powerful.’ Lin Jiufeng sweated.

‘But killing a few crystal skeletons isn’t a problem.’ Lin Jiufeng stood up and held the Sword of the Ancient Battlefield.

Rumble!

Everyone could see that the huge mountain range surrounding the Well of Heaven Ascension suddenly separated and integrated into a person’s body.

Yes, a person!

Not a skeleton!

This person came to the side of the Immortal Slaying Sword. With a stretch of his hand, the Immortal Slaying Sword obediently fell into his hand.

“I’m here to kill you!”

It was unknown how condensed Lin Jiufeng’s soul body was, but it was already no different from a body of flesh and blood.

He took a step forward, and in an instant, the world changed. The wind and clouds lost their color, and he was like a sovereign touring the world, looking down on the world. An invincible aura spread, suppressing all the skeletons until they couldn’t speak.

This was the aura of life. This was the aura of the Great Dao.
