The Dark Realm, this minor world, contains many secret places, remnants of the Immortal Ancient immortals. Some of these forbidden areas are renowned beyond the realm. The Immortal Palace has a detailed map, and the Chaos Mosquito Lake is one such dangerous place, which is highlighted in the map.
A towering, terrifying cliff overlooks a vast, pitch-black lake, so cold it seems capable of freezing one's very soul. Several dilapidated palaces stand on the lake's edge.
This place is filled with a terrifying aura of malevolence, which even the Heavenly God would find unbearable.
"A Immortal Corpse, or perhaps a remnant of someone who feigned death."
Space cracked open, and Su Yu landed on the lakeside. Looking at the calm, still black water, several thoughts flashed through his mind.
The next moment, the Chaos energy surged, and the great lake churned violently. A swarm of mosquitoes flew out, some golden mosquitoes even reaching ten feet in size—an ancient remnant species. Instantly, their buzzing filled the sky, affecting the entire area; the sound waves alone were enough to cause the demise of Venerable.
"Certainly!"
Su Yu extended his sleeve, revealing a finger that gleamed with terrifying spatial and temporal power. In an instant, heaven and earth fell silent, and the Chaos Demon Mosquito of the sea waves froze in mid-air, as if they had fallen into a mottled ancient painting, becoming embellishments on the cliff and the black lake.
Even the two Ancient Chaos Mosquito Void Dao Realm deep within the lake were no exception; their bodies and primordial Divine Capital were immobilized, unable to move.
"Sizzle!"
Immediately, the lake rippled, the viscous and dark water was purified, the turbidity rose, and all the mosquitoes in it were driven out, slowly revealing its purity. The great sorcerer then cast a spell again, slowly opening up a crystal-clear waterway.
Su Yu strolled among them, his every move exuding a Daoist aura, transcending the mundane. The moment he landed on the lake's surface, his sleeves fluttered, revealing the scene within: a small golden creature clung tightly to the crimson gold brocade, radiating wisps of Divine Radiance.
The red-clad figure could be vaguely seen communicating with the golden creature, but the latter trembled slightly, seemingly resisting.
It was plump, crystal clear, and exuded a delicate fragrance. It landed on Su Yu's neck and licked back and forth affectionately, as if it were being affectionate.
"Time is irreversible, and this era is settling everything. There is not much time left for you to grow..." A soft sigh rang out, and the golden artifact fell silent, as if it had made a great decision. It timidly poked its head out and looked at the outside world.
When he finally saw the mosquitoes clearly, he couldn't help but shudder; he was truly terrified.
The man in red's eyes flickered, calmly staring at it, demanding a choice. This silent pressure was countless times more terrifying than a swarm of mosquitoes filling the sky.
Finally, a golden creature flew out, radiant with light. It was an exquisite, golden silkworm, the juvenile form of Imperial Butterfly. It had previously slumbered in the Medicine Capital of the Lower Realm realm, but was brought to the Upper Realm by the Grand Steward of the Immortal Palace, where it 'voluntarily' followed Su Yu.
At this moment, crimson ripples spread around the Imperial Butterfly, and golden and red Dao tracks flowed around it, imbuing it with a layer of demonic power.
As the Imperial Butterfly cast her spell, a large hole appeared in the sky, filled with red mist. A tremendous pulling force erupted from within, Devour Heaven and Swallow Earth. One swarm after another of insects rushed in, fell into the hole, and were quickly refined into ashes.
During this process, Su Yu stood still, quietly guarding the little Imperial Butterfly; this world became his own personal prison.
"Smack smack..."
A moment later, the Imperial Butterfly, having eaten its fill, became even rounder. It whimpered, its eyes blurry with tears, and landed on Su Yu's neck, curling up and rolling around, expressing the discomfort in its body and soul.
It is a supreme and sacred object; it should consume immortal springs and Divine Marrow. To devour the mosquito beast is a terrible waste.
Especially since it consumed a sacred herb at the very beginning of its Upper Realm, and even ate some of its Divine Medicine and leaves, its start was bright. No one could have predicted such a dramatic shift in its subsequent treatment...
Su Yu placed it in his palm and said softly, "With my abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for me to spoil you... Do you still remember Immortal Ancient?"
When the previous generation was mentioned, Imperial Butterfly fell silent, revealing a sorrowful emotion.
"You now possess the Devouring Precious Technique and have the ferocious beasts I kill as your sustenance. Some people are in far more difficult circumstances than you. As the current Imperial Butterfly, you bear the Immortal Blood and must also shoulder the corresponding responsibilities..."
Hearing these words, Imperial Butterfly remained silent. After a moment, she sent out her divine thoughts again, her voice very childish, expressing her willingness to shoulder everything in the Immortal Ancient, to restore the glory of the Golden Medicine Butterfly Clan, and not to bring shame to her mother.
Su Yu nodded, touched its crystal-clear silkworm head, and felt a shimmering Immortal Qi between his fingers and palm, which helped it refine the blood essence of the mosquito beast.
"Do you know that in the future there will be a White Qilin, born in a celestial nest, raised by a woman, and ultimately becoming just another ordinary creature..."
He slowly descended, telling the little Imperial Butterfly the story of the White Qilin.
The Imperial Butterfly nodded, listening attentively. It added that it was born in the desolate Lower Realm realm and followed Su Yu, and would never be like that White Qilin. As it spoke, it hiccuped, and its face showed signs of drowsiness.
Su Yu smiled, finding this insect king to be genuine and sincere, and quite comforting to keep. He then took the initiative to help it enter a state of dormancy.
At first, he wasn't very interested in the Imperial Butterfly, after all, its potential was too low and its growth cycle was too long. But later, he developed an alternative Immortal Devouring Technique, which combined the ancestral techniques of the Devil Sire Clan and the Yin-Yang of the Kun Peng Precious Technique, thus giving the Imperial Butterfly an opportunity, which this Immortal Seed seized.
If the other party had chosen a different path, its destined master would not have been Su Yu, but rather the Double Pupils Woman and others, becoming a plaything in the hands of women—just like the White Qilin in the future Lunar Jade Rabbit's arms...
At the bottom of the lake, there were faint glimmers of light, indicating a depth of forty thousand fathoms.
Su Yu stepped onto the lake soil, and with a wave of his hand, a dragon-skin lantern appeared. It was covered in blood, as if it had just been peeled off an ancient dragon. It looked like a blurry piece of red jade, with dragon oil burning inside. The flames and runes shone brightly, illuminating this world.
What came into view was a woman, as if carved from white jade, her body pure white and flawless, emitting a shimmering luster. She had an excellent figure, with undulating curves, and blue hair that cascaded down to her waist.
Her clothes were already rotten, and the key parts were covered by armor made of Dark Immortal Gold, which covered her high breasts and other areas. However, even this Immortal Gold had cracks, not because of the erosion of time, but because it had suffered a heavy blow that protected her chest, but damaged the Dark Immortal Gold.
"An immortal from the Primordial Ancient Realm... no, a king from the Immortal Domain!"
Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing the fluctuations of laws emanating from this body. It was neither a creature from the Foreign Realm nor an immortal from the Primordial Ancient Realm; it came from the Immortal Domain.
He longed to trace back the past and retrace the River of Time, but limited by his realm, he could not break through the barrier of the space-time line.
However, even from the remnants at the bottom of Chaos Mosquito Lake, one can roughly guess the history of the broken history.
Su Yu raised his hand and pulled, and a piece of snow- Ruyu bone, as white as jade, was unearthed a thousand feet away. The flesh and blood were gone, leaving only the skeleton. A terrifying aura permeated the air as it landed on this side.
Completely different from the aura of the female immortal, this dragon exhibited distinct law fluctuations the moment it appeared, sharing the same origin as this world, and was definitely an ancient dragon that grew up in the Primordial Ancient Realm.
Judging from the skeleton, the dragon corpse has bony fins, a characteristic of fish, but on the Dragon Clan, they appear even more Shenwu and powerful, shining brightly under the light of the dragon-skin lantern.
Of course, it couldn't be a fish; it had a pair of True Dragon horns on its head, and its head was extremely similar to that of True Dragon.
The golden light flashed, even startling the Imperial Butterfly, which carefully observed the dragon bones, puzzled and curious about the origin of the bone fins.
"Many races can evolve into dragons, such as pythons, jiaos, and carp. If they can make the final leap, they may evolve into dragons. There is a prophecy in the mortal world: 'Golden scales are not meant to stay in a pond; once they encounter wind and clouds, they will Dragon Transformation,' which reflects this kind of thing," Su Yu explained.
Dragons are not only a type of creature, but also an extremely advanced form of Life, and many creatures can choose to evolve towards it.
The True Dragon is known as the leader of the Ten Fiends and is the first race in the Immortal Ancient Era. However, in the very beginning, the True Dragon's true nature and how its Life form should manifest were determined through competition!
Clearly, the dragon's remains belonged to a different evolutionary path in its lifetime, and it failed in its later stages. At the very least, it would not have been a match for the True Dragon and the Primordial Dragon Clan ( the Second Under Heaven ).
Using the Xian Dao aura emanating from his body, Su Yu stroked the dragon bones and deduced that when this corpse was still alive, it was probably at the level of Void Dao Immortal King (Flawed Stage, having only survived the physical tribulation, with a flawed primordial spirit). This was because the aura deep within its bone marrow was very similar to that of the Female Kunpeng, so it couldn't be much stronger.
As for that fair and beautiful woman, she was slightly stronger and should also be at the Void Dao Immortal King Realm. Her fall was also more dignified, with fewer gaps in her body, which allowed her immortal-level physical body to maintain its oppressive aura and avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.
Upon closer inspection, a small red mark could be seen between the woman's eyebrows, indicating that she had been pierced by a needle; this was the cause of her death.
A single strike annihilates the soul.
In another timeline, Shi Hao sensed a vibrant Life force emanating from the female corpse's body, which Su Yu also perceived. The cause was that touch of blood red. When an immortal body has a leak, the Life force within it will diffuse and dissipate, but not much of it does.
In addition, over the years, this body has unconsciously absorbed vital energy to maintain itself, which is why it can still glimpse the appearance of a female immortal from two eras ago...
A moment later, Su Yu used his great divine power to take away the dragon bone. As for the female corpse, it was much more complicated. This body contained too much Xian Dao power, far beyond the Supreme Realm, and it was not easy to move.
Su Yu tried for a long time, inscribing Xian Dao arrays and summoning the Bronze Immortal Palace projection, which took a lot of time to shake this body. But then a sudden change occurred.
"Sizzle!"
The female corpse suddenly opened her eyes, her face as pale as snow, as if covered with a layer of frost, and her aura suddenly turned cold, which seemed particularly terrifying at the bottom of the lake, which was 40,000 feet deep.
She unleashed her Immortal Qi, repelling the projection of the bronze palace. In an instant, the pitch-black lake water overflowed, the sky collapsed and the earth caved in, as if this entire world was about to be destroyed.
Su Yu was startled and retreated, a strange look on his face. He hadn't expected that he had misjudged the situation.
" Immortal Corpse possessing spiritual power... no, you want a ghost to become an immortal? Interesting." He composed himself and said calmly.
Why do you disturb my slumber...?
The woman spoke softly, her demeanor different from when she was asleep. There was a Ghost Dao aura about her, lingering and disrupting the sacredness of her immortal body.
Even so, she was still breathtakingly beautiful, her flowing hair cascading down like a waterfall. Though her pupils were leaden gray, they possessed a uniquely melancholic quality, as if a beautiful fairy had fallen to earth and suffered terrible punishment.
"You can be considered Ghost Immortal now," Su Yu asked.
The woman remained silent, sitting cross-legged in place, staring coldly ahead. Her gray eyes gleamed with a sharp light, radiating a terrifying aura. A thin layer of mist swirled around her body, making her appear even more ethereal.
"It seems you haven't yet gained control over this Immortal Corpse." Su Yu chuckled, sensing the other party's malice.
However, it was unable to suddenly unleash its power, clearly trapped in some kind of constraint, unable to unleash its Xian Dao combat strength.
"I have no desire to enter the mortal world. What business do you have with me?" the woman said indifferently.
"Come with me, and a Fortune awaits you in the future."
Su Yu opened and closed his eyes, and before him, Immortal King- level runes flickered, emanating a vast immortal might. At the same time, he added, "This corpse was a King in its physical form during its lifetime, but two eras have passed, and its body is damaged. Even if you successfully become an immortal ghost, you will not be able to possess complete Xian Dao power."
"Playing tricks!" the black-haired woman said rudely, clearly not believing that this weak creature could bring her any Fortune.
"Hehe..."
Su Yu smiled, then his expression turned cold. With a flick of his sleeve, a decree appeared, imbued with Chaos Immortal Qi. In an instant, an abyss-like, ocean-like pressure of Immortal King descended, turning the area into a raging sea, with everything pouring out and pressing forward.
"A true decree from the Immortal King!"
The woman's face paled, her heart trembled, and she bowed slightly, feeling oppressed. She was very surprised, as she remembered similar accounts in her remaining memory.
The next moment, Su Yu took away the decree, and the terrifying pressure receded like a tide, returning the world to peace.
He said coldly, "I have a powerful figure behind me, whose true form possesses near-immortal combat strength. Do you want to try?"
After these words were spoken, the place fell silent, and the female immortal remained silent for a long time.
"What do you want me to do, fellow Daoist?" She saw Su Yu's cold expression and offered another explanation.
She is a new primordial spirit born from Immortal Corpse. Her physical body is incredibly powerful, but her primordial spirit is not as strong and doesn't even know any magic. She can only accumulate soul power here, waiting until she can completely control her physical body before taking the next step.
She was quite frank and revealed her background.
"You are still quite far from truly becoming an immortal ghost, and you also lack the methods of an immortal. I won't give you that much time in this Lifetime," Su Yu said calmly, his hair loose. "Give me a hand, and I will bestow upon you Xian Dao scriptures, perhaps even the Immortal King Scripture, in the future."
Upon hearing this, the woman's breathing quickened; she was tempted.
Observing the other party's subtle movements, Su Yu nodded, knowing that the matter was settled.
He sighed slightly. The so-called Immortal King's decree was indeed useful, and it was invincible. The one in his hand was essentially a decree conjured from the Kun Peng Clan's talisman bone ( the Kunpeng King's only true bone) combined with Xian Dao true energy and further enhanced by the Dao Imitation Technique.
Moreover, he received help from his future self along the way.
Now that the past and future are severed, and that assistance is lost, it's extremely difficult to create a counterfeit Immortal King decree that is indistinguishable from the real thing, which only makes this item even more precious...
Chapter 789 In the Depths of Darkness, Suppressing the Eerie King
The lake water flowed quietly, and the female immortal was moved. She had already made up her mind and began to discuss the details of the treaty. She even expressed her desire for Su Yu to perform the Xian Dao scriptures on the spot.
Su Yu remained calm and began his stance. In an instant, a waterfall of light emanated from the lakebed, and countless strands of divine light rose up, condensing into a massive immortal imprint.
This person had a dignified and solemn appearance, but his features were not visible. The aura he exuded was terrifying and astonishing, causing the woman to change color and her eyes to gleam with a strange light. This was indeed the work of a celestial being.
" The Human Immortal Seal is a legend from the Desolate Antiquity Universe the Immortal Domain, originating from a direct descendant of an Immortal King," Su Yu explained.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, emanating a hazy, celestial light, he produced a jade scroll containing the Human Immortal Seal as a gift to persuade the other party to leave the mountain.
