Gradually.
The footsteps grew more orderly.
Heavier and heavier.
Like an army that had slumbered for hundreds of millions of years, awakening once more at this moment.
The Immortal Blood River churned even more violently, as though even this forbidden zone that had buried countless eras was trembling for this sight.
The wind rose.
Blood waves unfurled like a curtain.
And the endless Vast Clan had all stepped into the immortal blood.
There were no vows.
No commands.
Only a silent will that stretched across eternity slowly echoed between heaven and earth—
They were not following.
They were—
Returning.
Three days later.
Immortal blood washed over a decayed yet boundless Vast Clan cave.
Chen Xun's steps suddenly halted. He sharply turned his head toward that endlessly dark abyss within the mine tunnel. In an instant... one step carried him across a distance that should have taken an eternity, and he landed outside the mine. A sharp gleam likewise flashed through Black Bull's eyes.
That was an Undying immortal skeleton.
An unparalleled immortal skeleton seated here, weathered by time to this state. It seemed that even Tiandi, the Great Dao, and Karma could not shatter its bones, able only to leave it standing peacefully here.
At this moment.
A dense ripple of emotion actually appeared in Chen Xun's eyes.
He slowly raised his hand.
It was as though he wished to touch that immortal skeleton, yet his movements were unbearably slow.
A wisp of dusty smoke slowly rose.
Vast beyond measure.
It turned out to be dust raised by time. At that instant, Chen Xun's brows sank by an almost imperceptible degree.
"Who is it?!!"
"You three, eating without inviting this Dao Ancestor?!"
"Dao Ancestor, mining in the Void Sea?!!"
"Dig!"
"Dao Ancestor, our clan was founded upon excavation!"
