Rumble.

Water splashed in every direction, immortal qi rose, and the entire place shone brilliantly.

Rumble.

The Kunlun Immortal Bell, entirely formed from Immortal Dao Runes, flew of its own accord into the placenta, attempting to merge with the Heavenly Demonic Saber.

This Kunlun Immortal Bell, formed entirely from Immortal Dao Runes, had originally been a gift the Kunlun Immortal Bell left behind for the Dark Supremes of Kunlun Mountain. Unexpectedly, it now benefited Li Ming instead.

Now, these Immortal Dao Runes automatically merged into the Heavenly Demonic Saber, helping it transform and advance. Li Ming was naturally overjoyed.

His gaze burned as he carefully observed the Immortal Dao Runes, imprinting as many of them as possible into his heart.

It did not matter that he could not understand them now. Once his strength reached the necessary level in the future, he would naturally understand.

Moreover, observing the Heavenly Demonic Saber's evolution from an Extreme Dao Weapon into an Immortal Weapon was itself a form of enlightenment and cultivation.

More and more crystalline, translucent threads wrapped around the placenta like a Great Dao Cocoon. It was truly astonishing.

The tens of thousands of Dragon-Head Peaks seemed to have come back to life, releasing dragon roars one after another.

An incomparably powerful and sacred aura spread in all directions.

Every cultivator on the Primordial Ancient Star felt waves of palpitations, as though they could hear dragon roars.

"I never expected that arriving in the Age of Mythology so early after transmigrating here would bring such benefits!"

"Does this count as stealing Emperor Zun's Fortune?"

Li Ming also found it somewhat unreal.

As a transmigrator, he often did strange things—things that seemed strange to everyone else.

That was indeed the truth.

Sometimes, he suspected that he was dreaming, and everything felt unreal.

Things that countless people went mad over had all fallen into his hands after he transmigrated.

Things that countless people could never obtain had been obtained by him.

Li Ming stared intently at those Immortal Dao Runes, feeling especially grounded and at peace.

He even raised his hands and attempted to trace those Immortal Dao Runes.

Although they were blurry at first and he could not even trace complete runes, even the incomplete ones allowed him to feel that invincible power.

The power of the Immortal Dao.

The Heavenly Demonic Saber emitted dazzling light and let out a thunderous roar.

Immortal light flowed across it as the Heavenly Demonic Saber continued to develop.

Li Ming opened his Heavenly Eye and observed it closely, missing neither a single inch nor the slightest change.

He saw the Heavenly Demonic Saber and the Immortal Dao Runes clearly and distinctly.

Many Immortal Dao Runes that he could not yet understand intertwined into dense laws and order, forming supreme Immortal Dao power.

Not only was Li Ming comprehending the Immortal Dao power here, but he also tried drinking some of the divine liquid from the pool. The mysterious Great Dao Runes contained within were truly astonishing.

That sweet fragrance was like the medicinal liquid of an Immortal Medicine.

It was truly something one could encounter only by chance, a Fortune that seized the creation of heaven and earth, with endless wondrous uses.

This was definitely of a far higher grade than Divine Spring Water. It was comparable to the medicinal liquid of an Immortal Medicine. Though its incredibly rich fragrance could not grant someone a new Lifetime, it could certainly prolong one's lifespan.

At this moment, the Immortal Dao essence and dragon treasures nurtured within the Dragon-Head Peaks had not been lost. They had merely been suppressed by this world and thus weakened.

The Emperor Zun and Netherworld Venerable from the original work had probably wanted to completely activate them before forging the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and the Tongtian Nether Treasure, two Immortal Weapons, in one go.

Otherwise, there would have been no need for them to go to such lengths.

Could it be that before Emperor Zun arrived here in the original work, the Immortal Dao essence here had been divided among the ten Dark Supremes of Kunlun Mountain?

Since each of them received too little, none of their weapons could grow into Immortal Weapons?

They left Emperor Zun with a complete mess, forcing him to reactivate the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains?

Li Ming did not know the exact circumstances. Perhaps only those who had experienced it would know.

He could not be bothered to deduce it any further.

For now, he carefully comprehended the mysteries here, seeking a higher realm.

He watched with his own eyes as the Heavenly Demonic Saber continuously advanced here.

And his insights grew deeper and deeper.

In the blink of an eye, more than five thousand years passed.

Then one day, all the divine liquid was suddenly absorbed clean by the placenta.

The divine liquid seemed to have dried up.

The tens of thousands of Dragon-Head Peaks suddenly released dragon roars.

They seemed alive.

All of them opened their dragon mouths and spewed out even more Immortal Dao essence.

It flowed into the placenta.

And the placenta actually released a deathless fragrance that intoxicated the soul.

An inexplicable heavenly melody of the Great Dao echoed here, accompanied by what seemed like ancient incantations.

One Immortal Dao Rune after another flickered, transforming into incomparably mysterious Great Dao laws that flowed into the placenta and imprinted themselves upon the Heavenly Demonic Saber.

After more than five thousand years of nurturing, the Heavenly Demonic Saber finally transformed and advanced.

Pop, pop, pop...

Loud explosions rang out one after another.

The Immortal Dao essence and dragon treasures contained within the Dragon-Head Peaks exploded with a boom, and that heaven-defying divine liquid flowed toward the Heavenly Demonic Saber.

All of it was absorbed by the Heavenly Demonic Saber.

Within this Immortal Ascension Pool, chaotic qi surged violently. Suddenly, a snow-bright heavenly saber sliced through the placenta and split the chaos like lightning.

Endless heaven and earth essence descended from the universe, rushing into the Heavenly Demonic Saber.

Li Ming looked at the Heavenly Demonic Saber in delighted surprise.

The Heavenly Demonic Saber had truly transformed into an Immortal Weapon!

No wonder that when he had forged it before, no matter how hard he tried or what methods he used, he had never been able to make the Heavenly Demonic Saber truly transform into an Immortal Weapon.

So it had been missing so many things.

Over these five thousand years, Li Ming had personally witnessed the Heavenly Demonic Saber's evolution from an Extreme Dao Weapon into an Immortal Weapon, and he had benefited enormously as well.

The Heavenly Demonic Saber had finally evolved into the form he had imagined.

At this moment, the Heavenly Demonic Saber radiated a chilling killing intent, surrounded by vast chaotic qi. At first glance, it seemed forged from bronze, ancient and weathered. Yet upon closer inspection, nine colors gleamed across its surface. It had actually been forged from nine kinds of Immortal Gold, perfectly fused into a single whole.

It had even been mixed with Chaotic Immortal Marrow and Mother Qi of All Things, forged into a perfect Immortal Weapon.

It devoured the light of the sun, moon, and stars, as well as chaotic qi.

Like the first ray of light at the dawn of creation.

The blade was crystalline and dazzling, inspiring awe.

Boundless saber qi spread in all directions like a vast ocean, shaking the starry sky of eternity.

On this day, a brilliant saber light swept across the heavens, cutting through the endless universe.

The dark and icy universe was cleaved apart as the Heavenly Demonic Saber streaked through the sky, unstoppable.

Entire rivers of stars were split apart by it.

The whole Heavenly Demonic Saber radiated an indescribable divinity.

All radiance seemed to pale before it.

Li Ming recalled the Heavenly Demonic Saber and gently stroked it.

This was the saber of his dreams!

It had finally been forged!

"The immortal saber is complete. Now I need to find some Dark Supremes to consecrate it with!"

Li Ming silently considered which Dark Supremes to kill and where to find them.

"Perhaps I can imitate the Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors from the original work and go fishing."

"Emperor Hengyu used a fist-sized piece of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold to fish for the Undying Heavenly Emperor. He really underestimated the Undying Heavenly Emperor."

"Looks like fishing requires some real investment!"

After giving it some thought, Li Ming quickly found a way to fish.

The Chaotic Dragon Nest he had obtained was filled with flickering Immortal Dao Runes and still emitted a faint longevity aura that could slow the loss of lifespan.

It could even be used as a Forbidden Zone for a considerable length of time.

It might even allow someone to live a new Lifetime.

The temptation this posed to those Dark Supremes was absolutely astonishing.

If those Dark Supremes discovered it, they would certainly fight one another over it.

Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Li Ming's face.

Using the Chaotic Dragon Nest within the Myriad Dragon Nest as bait truly was a massive investment.

As for whichever Dark Supremes were hooked, they could consider themselves unlucky.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, ever since Li Ming broke the Kunlun Mountain Forbidden Zone six thousand years ago, the entire universe had remained peaceful. No divine wars or Dark Turmoils had occurred.

Li Ming had not appeared again for so long that many people began to question his current condition.

Was he dead, alive, or had he become a Forbidden Zone Lord?

Some even wanted to test the Kunlun Mountain Forbidden Zone and see Li Ming's condition.

After all, countless Dark Supremes coveted the origin of Li Ming's Chaotic Body.

But Li Ming was so ruthless and brutal that no Dark Supreme dared take the lead.

On this day, a Chaotic Dragon Nest suddenly emerged from the chaos at the Cosmic Frontier Wasteland.

The Chaotic Dragon Nest was formed from pitch-black Dragon Wood, wreathed in tens of thousands of dragon qi streams. Flickering Immortal Dao Runes covered it, and it radiated an immortal aura.

The astonishing nine-colored immortal lightning and tempting longevity aura immediately caused a great sensation.

The strange Chaotic Dragon Nest seemed slow but moved swiftly, passing from one universe into another.

Many people tried to pursue it, only to discover that they could not catch up.

This made the Chaotic Dragon Nest seem even more mysterious.

The news spread rapidly. More and more Great Saints and Quasi-Emperors pursued and intercepted it, even using teleportation formations to reach other universes ahead of it.

Yet whenever an expert approached, the Chaotic Dragon Nest would mysteriously vanish, then fly into another universe.

The powerful races of every universe sent people to pursue it.

Even the Forbidden Zones could not remain still and dispatched Forbidden Zone Heirs to chase it.

"The Supremes are sleeping or in seclusion. Should we wake them?"

"If only they would awaken naturally."

"If they awaken, they will surely seize this mysterious Chaotic Dragon Nest directly."

The aura emitted by the Chaotic Dragon Nest was simply too astonishing and too unusual.

If their guess was correct, it had definitely fallen into this world from the Immortal Domain Rift.

They could even faintly smell the fragrance of an Immortal Medicine from it.

This news caused an even greater sensation.

After all, in the entire world, it was said that only a little over thirty kinds of Immortal Medicine had ever been discovered.

Every single one was extremely mysterious and unimaginable.

They were basically in the hands of the major Forbidden Zones, had been destroyed, or had vanished without explanation.

In any case, obtaining an Immortal Medicine was no easy matter.

As the rumors grew more and more outlandish, a Dark Supreme was finally awakened.

His gaze burned as he watched the Chaotic Dragon Nest, carefully observing and sensing its aura and Immortal Dao Runes.

He soon discovered an astonishing secret.

The aura of this Chaotic Dragon Nest was so mysterious and powerful, and it even contained a faint longevity aura.

It seemed to contain a small amount of Longevity Substance.

This discovery sent the Dark Supreme into wild delight.

The other Dark Supremes had yet to awaken, but he had sensed it first. This was clearly his Fortune.

He even tried drawing out a wisp of its aura and found that it carried the flavor of Northern Polar Immortal Light, an absolutely authentic immortal longevity aura from the Immortal Domain.

This discovery made him find it even more incredible.

If he could lurk within this Chaotic Dragon Nest, there would certainly be endless benefits.

After deducing for a short while, this Dark Supreme emerged without hesitation.

This Dark Supreme had lived through the ages and seen all manner of things. What situation had he not encountered?

He knew that many Dark Supremes were hidden away. Nearly every one of them had once launched a Dark Turmoil, stopping at nothing to seize treasures capable of extending their lifespans.

If they discovered this as well, they would certainly fight over it.

At that time, he might not be able to protect this treasure by himself.

Besides, this was currently the era of the Demon Venerable. Everyone gave him some face and feared his strength, so no one dared launch a Dark Turmoil in this era.

Even if many people felt that they needed to replenish their life essence, they did not dare emerge, afraid of angering the madman known as the Demon Venerable.

Although the Demon Venerable had no interest in protecting the countless living beings of heaven and earth, he cared greatly about his own dignity.

Launching a Dark Turmoil in the era when he had attained the Dao and become a Supreme would be a slap in his face.

Thus, no one dared slap the Demon Venerable's face. They could only endure it.

Now that he had suddenly discovered this Chaotic Dragon Nest with its longevity aura, it was like a piece of fatty meat delivered directly to this Dark Supreme's mouth.

With a thunderous boom, Extreme Dao divine might erupted. The Dark Supreme directly shattered the Immortal Source and lunged toward the Chaotic Dragon Nest.

He was too excited.

He was too thrilled.

To seize this Chaotic Dragon Nest, he had truly gone all out.

That ink-black figure streaked across the starry sky, causing countless stars to explode into ash. He did not care how many living beings he killed along the way; his eyes held only the Chaotic Dragon Nest.

Everywhere he passed, even Saints would have their bodies explode into ash. No one dared stand in his way.

Some sensed that terrifying aura and trembled all over in fear.

That incomparably powerful aura, carrying a decayed stench, absolutely belonged to an elderly Dark Supreme who had emerged to hunt prey.

Some feared that a Dark Turmoil would be unleashed and trembled all over.

Others fled madly.

But they soon discovered that the Dark Supreme paid them no attention at all.

His burning gaze was fixed upon the Chaotic Dragon Nest.

An expression of immense delight appeared on the Dark Supreme's face. His enormous hand, large enough to blot out the heavens and cover the earth, was about to seize the Chaotic Dragon Nest.

The countless Immortal Dao Runes upon it gleamed in his eyes.

"These pure Immortal Dao Runes truly make this a land of Fortune."

"This is truly a treasure bestowed upon me by heaven!"

"Perhaps I can use this to live out a new Lifetime and repair the cracks in my Immortal Platform!"

With a thunderous boom, an enormous fist slammed toward the Dark Supreme's head.

Endless light erupted, and terrifying Great Dao power pierced straight toward his Immortal Platform.

Just as the Dark Supreme was overjoyed, another Dark Supreme silently appeared beside him.

Clearly, that Dark Supreme had also set his sights on the Chaotic Dragon Nest.

He hesitated for only a moment, never expecting someone else to beat him to it.

He was enraged.

He simply detonated his Immortal Source and charged out as well.

Boom.

In the four directions of east, south, west, and north, four blocks of Immortal Source exploded simultaneously. More Dark Supremes had actually emerged.

Six Dark Supremes in total had emerged to fight over the Chaotic Dragon Nest.

They had all been famed Supremes throughout history, but now they had turned on one another over this Chaotic Dragon Nest.

"Dog thief, you dare compete with me for this fortunate opportunity?"

"Haha, old thief, you could not endure any longer either!"

"Treasure belongs to the virtuous. Whoever snatches it gets it!"

In the blink of an eye, these Dark Supremes fought until heaven and earth collapsed.

They never imagined that this was someone's scheme, or a trap set to fish them in.

They trusted their own strength, and they trusted their instincts even more.

This was a treasure that had fallen into this world from the Immortal Domain Rift. Whoever seized it would own it.

It was an ownerless treasure, an astonishing fortunate opportunity.

They all sensed that faint aura of longevity.

The Chaotic Dragon Nest kept roaming through the Cosmic Frontier Wasteland, passing through one universe after another.

Even if a mythic war erupted there, it would not affect many living beings.

The Dark Supremes fought until heaven and earth collapsed in the Cosmic Frontier Wasteland.

The experts of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands sensed those incomparably terrifying Supreme auras and all trembled in fear.

The battle was exceptionally brutal. People saw chaotic energy surge there while crimson mist spread everywhere.

Clearly, even Supremes had been injured in this divine battle.

"The prey has taken the bait. It is time to collect the harvest!" Li Ming's voice was cold and merciless.

With a thunderous boom, before the Dark Supremes could react, a stretch of starry sky in the Cosmic Frontier Wasteland was sliced apart.

An incomparably massive saber flew out, and rivers of stars exploded one after another.

Two Dark Supremes were cleaved to death on the spot.

Their bodies exploded into a sea of blood. Bones and fragments of weapons scattered everywhere; before they could even scream, they were cleaved apart.

The attack had come too quickly, too shockingly.

Two Dark Supremes had been cleaved to death in a single exchange.

"Heavenly Demonic Saber!"

The remaining four Dark Supremes cried out in alarm.

Back then, they had seen the Demon Venerable wield the Heavenly Demonic Saber and charge through all opposition, cleaving countless Dark Supremes to death.

Yet now, the Heavenly Demonic Saber had emerged once more, and it had somehow become so powerful and terrifying.

Nine-colored immortal light flashed, chaotic energy flowed, and saber energy surged like a vast ocean, raising endless waves as it extinguished rivers of stars and charged toward the four Dark Supremes.

The four Dark Supremes resisted desperately and dodged frantically.

"Damn it, the Heavenly Demonic Saber has actually evolved into an Immortal Weapon!"

"Did the Demon Venerable make his move?"

"How did he do it?"

The weapons of the four Dark Supremes shone brilliantly, but before the Heavenly Demonic Saber, they collapsed at the first touch and shattered instantly.

Everyone was horrified, their hearts turning cold.

How could such a powerful Heavenly Demonic Saber be resisted?

The Heavenly Demonic Saber was too terrifying. With a casual swing, it annihilated a starfield, shattered rivers of stars, and reduced them to cosmic dust.

The four Dark Supremes suffered heavy blows one after another. Their bodies turned cold, drenched in sweat.

This was a terror they had not felt for who knew how many years.

With a puff, another Dark Supreme was cleaved apart and turned into a cloud of blood mist.

"Too... terrifying!"

One Dark Supreme swallowed hard, his heart filled with bitterness.

The Heavenly Demonic Saber had struck. Who could stop it?

"Has the Demon Venerable... come?" another surviving Dark Supreme said tremblingly.

"Demon Venerable, your heart is too black..." another Dark Supreme cried in shock and fury.
