Chapter 1086 Immortal Tomb
Su Mo slowly rose, the chaotic energy around him seemingly drawn by an invisible force, automatically parting to reveal his tall and upright figure. His dark immortal robe fluttered slightly in the energy, the primordial purple aura flowing from the edges of his robes reflecting the darkness of the chaos, further emphasizing his extraordinary bearing, like an ancient sword whose sharpness had been concealed but could still cleave metal and split stone, exuding an aura of suppressing chaos even in stillness.
The next second...
Su Mo's gaze shifted slightly as he looked at the void before him, his fingertips lifting lightly as if plucking an invisible string of laws.
"Whoosh..."
With a wave of his hand, a streak of azure light ripped through the chaos like lightning, accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound. A long, resonant hum followed, and a dragon-shaped celestial vessel, emerald green in color, suddenly appeared before Su Mo. The vessel was about a thousand feet long, its entire body carved from millennia-old jade. The dragon's head was held high, its whiskers flowing like jade ribbons, its scales clearly defined, each shimmering with a warm yet resilient luster. It was as if an ancient azure dragon, dormant for billions of years, had awakened, ready to ride the winds and waves, soaring straight to the heavens.
An ancient and timeless aura radiated from within the immortal vessel, spreading like a tide throughout the surrounding chaos, calming the restless air currents. This was the Azure Dragon Immortal Vessel, plundered from the treasure vault of the Azure Cloud Golden Immortal—a near-second-grade Golden Immortal artifact forged by the Azure Cloud Golden Immortal over dozens of cosmic eras, using a section of dragon bone from a second-grade Golden Immortal Azure Dragon as the main material, and incorporating a large amount of quasi-immortal-level natural treasures such as star sand and chaotic lapis lazuli.
This ship is extremely fast. Among all the immortal ships in the Nine Immortal Realms, it is second only to the Silver Light Immortal Ship of the Purple Origin Golden Immortal, and is known as the "Second Immortal Ship of the Nine Immortal Realms".
"Boom..."
With a soft thud, Su Mo landed steadily on the deck of the Azure Dragon Immortal Boat. The deck beneath his feet felt warm yet hard, its dragon scale patterns clearly defined, as if he were stepping on the back of a real Azure Dragon. Then, the Azure Dragon Immortal Boat trembled slightly, its dragon head rising gently, its whiskers swaying, as if affectionately nuzzling towards Su Mo, as if welcoming its new master. It was incredibly intelligent—clearly, it had been completely refined by Su Mo and had come to recognize him as its master.
Su Mo raised his hand and gently stroked the cool dragon scale hull. His fingertips felt the delicate texture of jade and could clearly sense the immense power flowing within it—the immortal power contained in the second-grade dragon bone, mixed with the vastness of the Void Star Sand and the weight of the Chaos Lapis Lazuli, slowly circulating within the hull like an inexhaustible river of energy.
Then, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and muttered to himself, "With this Azure Dragon Immortal Boat as my mode of transport, if things go smoothly, I should be able to reach the Desolate Star Abyss in less than a Chaos Era."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo flicked his finger, and a condensed primordial immortal power shot out like a serpent, flowing along his fingertip and merging into the core of the Azure Dragon Immortal Boat, activating the boat's power source.
"Ow..."
With a resounding dragon roar echoing through the chaos, the sound waves rolled like thunder, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding turbulent air. The Azure Dragon Immortal Boat seemed to awaken completely from its slumber; its eyes blazed with brilliant azure light, and its scales opened and then slowly closed, as if stretching its limbs. With a gentle flick of its tail, creating a vortex of azure air, it carried Su Mo, transforming into a streak of azure light that pierced through the chaos, speeding towards the desolate Star Abyss.
The speed increased rapidly. At first, the outline of the dragon-shaped immortal ship could still be seen, but in a moment it was as fast as lightning, leaving a long cyan trail in the chaotic void. Finally, the cyan light shrank into a tiny point of light, like a star falling into an abyss, and completely disappeared into the depths of chaos, leaving only the lingering echo of the dragon's roar slowly dissipating in the void.
......
Time flies, and in the chaos there is no sun or moon, only the flow of laws marking the passage of time. Soon, eight hundred cycles have passed.
The Azure Dragon Immortal Ship still moved like a streak of azure lightning through the dark chaos. However, compared to eight hundred epochs ago, the immortal aura surrounding it had faded by thirty percent, and the azure light on its dragon scales had dimmed considerably, no longer as dazzling as before. The dragon whiskers on both sides of the ship drooped slightly, losing some of their agility and gaining some weariness—the environment of the outer chaos was thousands or even tens of thousands of times harsher than that of the major immortal realms, filled with chaotic gales that could erode immortal artifacts and spatial turbulence that could obliterate spiritual light. Even though the Azure Dragon Immortal Ship was a quasi-second-grade golden immortal artifact, it was not entirely immune, and the defensive array on its hull had been rippled by the impact several times.
Eight hundred epochs of continuous speed had already depleted nearly half of the immortal power stored in the ship. The dragon pattern array on the deck flickered from time to time, as if it was trying its best to maintain the defensive light barrier; although the eyes of the dragon head were still shining, they were no longer as bright as before, and occasionally they would tremble slightly when they collided with the invisible barrier of chaos, emitting a dull hum.
At the center of the Azure Dragon Immortal Ship, inside a simple temple, the walls are crafted from chaotic driftwood, inscribed with faint primordial runes. As the runes flow, they form an isolating barrier, completely shutting out the chaotic clamor of the outside world, leaving only tranquility, where even the flow of time seems to slow down.
Su Mo sat cross-legged on a first-grade immortal artifact—the Yin-Yang Dao Platform. The platform was shaped like a Tai Chi symbol, with black and white hues flowing and shifting like living things. Streams of Yin and Yang energy swirled around his body like a light veil, sometimes transforming into black fish spitting pearls, embodying the gentleness of water; sometimes transforming into white birds carrying flowers, showcasing the intensity of fire, slowly nourishing his soul and immortal body.
Suddenly, Su Mo flipped his right hand, and a ball of crimson flame rose from his palm. Within the flame, a miniature monster the size of a palm slowly appeared. This monster resembled a fierce tiger, but it had three heads and eight tails. Its entire body was covered with diamond-shaped, fiery red scales, each burning with eerie blue flames that flickered, exuding a sinister and ferocious aura. A terrifying aura that would make even a First-Rank Golden Immortal tremble emanated from it. Even though Su Mo had restrained it with his immortal power, it still let out a low roar. Its three heads spewed out golden flames, black gales, and purple poisonous mist, respectively. Although the power was greatly reduced, its ferocious nature was still evident.
"A three-headed fire monster, quite a rare chaotic beast." Su Mo gently stroked the monster's scales with his fingertips, feeling the ferocious power contained within. This kind of beast possesses brute strength no less than that of an ordinary immortal golden immortal, and is a notorious ferocious creature in the chaos.
"This journey has truly been difficult. No wonder that Immortal King Yuan Jin granted me a hundred Chaos Eras." He gazed at the three-headed fire demon in his hand and sighed softly. The dangers of this chaotic void were far more terrifying than he had anticipated. If he were truly a newly enlightened First-Rank Golden Immortal, he would have been severely injured several times along the way, even if he didn't die.
Putting everything else aside, these three Fire Ferocious Beasts alone are enough to give a First-Rank Golden Immortal a run for their money. While Chaos Beasts don't cultivate the Immortal Dao, they are born with Immortal Divine Abilities—a terrifying power on par with the Immortal Dao itself. These three Fire Ferocious Beasts, in particular, wield three major Immortal Divine Abilities: "Burning Heaven Flame," "Sky-Splitting Wind," and "Soul-Eating Mist." Even if their power has only reached the First-Rank Golden Immortal level, the three Divine Abilities complement each other, making their true combat strength not much weaker than a Perfect First-Rank Golden Immortal like a Profound True Golden Immortal, far surpassing any newly ascended Immortal.
He had encountered five immortal-level chaotic beasts like the Three-Headed Fire Ferocious along his journey. One of them had even reached the second-grade Golden Immortal level, and its ferocity was not much less than that of the Azure Cloud Golden Immortal. He even had to use three illusory spirit bodies to finally subdue it.
"What a pity! These chaotic beasts are ultimately not true Immortal Golden Immortals." Su Mo sighed softly, flicking his finger to store the three Fire Ferocious Beasts in his hand into the restrictions of his Natal Immortal Domain. Although the combat power of chaotic beasts was not inferior to that of Immortal Golden Immortals, their Immortal True Spirit was pitifully scarce. The four chaotic beasts he had previously killed, combined, only had slightly more True Spirit than a Yuanzhen Golden Immortal, giving him only eight units of Immortal True Spirit. It was better than nothing, otherwise, he really wanted to travel slowly, lure out these chaotic beasts, and gather the Immortal True Spirit needed for his cultivation breakthrough.
Then, Su Mo shifted his gaze and looked outside the hall. Through the temple's window lattice, he could see the dim spiritual light emanating from the dragon's head of the Azure Dragon Immortal Ship, as well as the faint flickering of the array patterns on its hull. "Eight hundred epochs have passed. It's time to replenish the Azure Dragon Immortal Ship."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo flicked his finger towards the dragon's head. A powerful surge of Primordial Golden Immortal power shot through the air like a silver dragon, carrying abundant vitality. It instantly merged into the dragon's head of the Azure Dragon Immortal Ship, spreading along the dragon's veins to the entire hull. Wherever it passed, the dim array patterns lit up again, and the withered energy veins were repaired.
"Ow..."
A deafening dragon roar suddenly resounded through the chaos. The immortal aura surrounding the Azure Dragon Immortal Ship visibly returned to its original state, its dull dragon scales once again radiating a warm azure light. Brilliant beams of immortal light burst forth from the array patterns, repelling the surrounding chaotic gales by thirty thousand feet. The ship trembled slightly, as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted, and its speed suddenly increased by more than thirty percent. With its dragon head held high and its whiskers flying, it once again transformed into a swift azure streak, speeding towards the desolate star abyss. Even the trajectory it left across the chaos became more refined and dazzling, carrying an unstoppable momentum.
......
Time flies, and another eight hundred cycles have passed.
At this point, the Azure Dragon Immortal Boat had already completed a quarter of its journey.
"An immortal tomb is about to be unveiled. Should I go and join the fun?"
