What is an immortal?

Chapter 1084 - 1049: Taoist Immortal Shadow

At this moment, thunder rumbled within the tribulation clouds, the Yin Moon Soul Tribulation finally arrived, as if signaling the apocalypse, shaking the heart.

Just like Xia Jie experienced back then, the first wave of attack was the Yin Thunder, countless black arcs of electricity descended from the sky, like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, directly charging at Yuan Ming.

With a thought, Yuan Ming activated the Chaos Shield, spirit light overflowed, transforming into a massive vortex, spinning wildly.

The falling Yin Thunder had not yet touched Yuan Ming before it was swallowed by this chaotic vortex, leaving no trace.

Yuan Ming took a deep breath, operated the Chaos Dao Fruit, refining those devoured Yin Thunders one by one, turning them to his use.

He raised his head, gazing into the midair, quietly waiting for the second wave of soul tribulation to arrive.

After the Yin Thunder, clusters of Yin Fire suddenly emerged within the tribulation clouds, blazing ferociously, covering the sky and earth as they came.

Yuan Ming let out a low shout, once again urging the chaotic vortex to meet the fierce flames.

Wave after wave of soul tribulations followed one after another, with attacks like Yin Thunder, Yin Fire, and Yin Wind coming endlessly, their power not inferior to the Mahayana Thunder Tribulation.

In front of Yuan Ming, these attacks were dispelled one by one as if they were child's play.

Relying on the Chaos Dao Fruit, he devoured all the soul tribulations, converting them into his own power.

Inside the Stealing Heaven Tripod, Kong sensed Yuan Ming's tribulation process, his face showing a speechless expression.

He had seen countless Yin Moon Soul Tribulations, but this was the first time seeing someone as relaxed as Yuan Ming.

"Instead of calling this a tribulation, it's more like enjoyment..." Kong shook his head and sighed.

At this moment, the tribulation clouds in the sky transformed again, a vast intangible black mist descended, phosphorescent light twinkling within, as if countless eyes were peering down.

"The Heart Demon Tribulation has arrived." Kong thought silently.

This tribulation tested willpower and state of mind, even the Chaos Dao Fruit found it difficult to intervene directly.

The black mist enveloped, Yuan Ming's eyes instantly turned dazed, his whole person seemingly frozen in place, evidently having fallen into the heart demon.

At this time, the chaotic vortex around him began to operate automatically, frantically devouring the surrounding black mist.

In just a few breaths, all the black mist was devoured, and Yuan Ming awakened from the heart demon.

"Even this is possible!" Kong looked at this scene, astonished.

He had lived for so long, yet it was the first time he saw someone refine even the heart demon.

With the Heart Demon Tribulation over, the Yin Moon Soul Tribulation also concluded.

Yuan Ming's Divine Soul flew out of his body, guiding the absorbed Moonlight Power, blossoming with dazzling brilliance.

A dazzling glow appeared on his body as well, gradually gathering into a Divine Wheel Light Ring behind his head.

Moments later, Yuan Ming's Divine Soul slowly descended, merging perfectly with his body.

A vast Soul Wave spread out like a great tide, unstoppable.

The Divine Wheel Light Ring behind Yuan Ming expanded instantly, enveloping a hundred-mile radius nearby, forming his soul domain.

Within this soul domain, he could control all Divine Soul operations, drawing people into illusions with a single thought.

"So this is the soul domain... A truly wondrous feeling." Yuan Ming murmured to himself.

He knew well the power of the soul domain, once someone is enveloped within it, they find it difficult to escape its control.

Aside from cultivating the soul domain, Yuan Ming's other Soul Cultivation Divine Powers also advanced rapidly, forming Dao Seals one after another.

Rumble!

The tribulation clouds in midair churned and surged once again, a vast power of the Dao from heaven and earth poured down, like sweet rain injected into Yuan Ming's body.

The various Soul Cultivation Divine Powers within him greedily absorbed this power, quickly advancing and intertwining with each other.

"Finally, they're about to form the Soul Cultivation Tao Divine Ability!" Yuan Ming's eyes were as sharp as a torch, focusing all his attention on observing this.

Moments later, the pouring of the power of the Dao from heaven and earth gradually subsided, and Yuan Ming's Soul Cultivation Divine Powers were also completely formed.

In his Sea of Consciousness, a complex black-and-white rune emerged, resembling a round mirror, with one side as black as ink, the other as white as jade.

Yuan Ming lightly touched this rune and quickly comprehended its mysteries.

This black-and-white round mirror's divine skill was quite simple, it could only emit black and white mysterious light, yet this light was astonishingly powerful.

The black mysterious light was lethal, once shone upon, even powerful Divine Souls would evaporate instantly.

Meanwhile, the white mysterious light was life-giving, any Divine Soul damage seemed insignificant before it, even able to restore the Three Souls and Seven Spirits of a person whose soul was scattered, granting them rebirth.

However, this rebirth was not perfect, causing the reborn person's intellect to be like that of a newborn baby.

Yuan Ming frowned slightly, at present, he did not lack Divine Skills for attacking Divine Souls, compared to the Fate Compass, this Tao Divine Ability could only be considered average.

"Since this divine skill resembles the way of life and death reincarnation, I'll name it the Life and Death Mirror." Yuan Ming bestowed the name on this Tao Divine Ability, then integrated it into the Chaos Dao Fruit.

With the integration of the Life and Death Mirror, the body's physical, law, and soul aspects of the Chaos Dao Fruit were finally complete.

Amidst the rumbling, the Chaos Dao Fruit expanded several times, auspicious clouds and propitious mist swirling above it, golden palaces faintly visible, with golden-armored sky generals beating drums to boost morale and silver-robed fairies dancing gracefully.

The mysterious heavenly sound echoed through the void, cleansing the spirits of all present.

"This is the Taoist Immortal Shadow! Yuan, you indeed have the potential to become an immortal!" the silhouette of the Void suddenly appeared, exclaiming in awe.

However, Yuan Ming ignored these phenomena.

At this moment, he was fully activating the Chaos Dao Fruit, sensing the flawless chaotic power emerging from it.

This power was fundamentally different from the chaotic power he had previously mastered, pure and untainted, containing endless mysteries and strength.

"Great! I finally condensed the perfect chaotic power!" Yuan Ming rejoiced inwardly, absorbing the Chaos Dao Fruit into his body, letting it flow throughout.

Over these days, he continuously refined the power of Level 7 demon beasts, Demon Clan Mahayana, Fiery Sun Body, and the Red Flower Ghost Mother. Although his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, it also accumulated many impurities within him.

At this moment, the Chaos Dao Fruit was like a scorching flame, eradicating all impurities it passed, making his body as light as a swallow, seemingly ready to soar with the wind.

Just then, three streaks of tunneling light suddenly flashed in the distant sky, rapidly flying in this direction.

Yuan Ming squinted, his lips curling into a playful smile, "I didn't go looking for them, yet they came right to my door."

The three streaks of tunneling light swiftly arrived, revealing the figures of the Five Sword Demon Emperor and the Tonghu Saints.

Seeing Yuan Ming dismiss the tribulation clouds and round moon so easily, their faces showed uncertain and suspicious expressions.

"You... you've already passed the Yin Moon Soul Tribulation?" The three of the Five Sword Demon Emperor exchanged glances, their voices carrying a hint of tremor.

Yuan Ming smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "This mountain gully is not my residence. Since you have come to visit, please allow me to host you at my Shura Palace."

As his words fell, the Chaos Spiritual Domain instantly unfolded, enveloping the three of the Five Sword Demon Emperor.

Their expressions changed dramatically, and just as they were about to resist, the light ring behind Yuan Ming's head expanded once more, and the soul domain opened.

Within the Chaos Spiritual Domain, waves of chaotic spirit light surged, engulfing the three of the Five Sword Demon Emperor as well as Yuan Ming himself.

The Shura Palace emerged like a giant shadow from the clouds, its outline rapidly enlarging, transforming instantly into a towering mountain, pressing down in all directions with an overwhelming momentum like a torrent.

Under this momentum, the Chaos Spiritual Domain shook intensely, as if experiencing an earth-shattering event, only calming down after a moment, revealing Yuan Ming's figure.

The three of the Five Sword Demon Emperor had vanished, evidently suppressed by the massive Shura Palace.

The Void, never having left, witnessed all of this, flying over now, looking at Yuan Ming with a complicated gaze, "Your strength has greatly matured, subduing a Mahayana strong person and two Fiery Sun Bodies with a flip of your hand, truly exceeding my expectations."

Yuan Ming slightly shook his head, his expression still as serene as water, "It's just because I cultivate the three techniques together, granting me numerous abilities."

"I was initially worried you would become arrogant and complacent with your strength surge, but now it seems I worried for nothing. With your current power, you can indeed battle the strongest Yan Emperor in the Demon World, providing a turning point for the crisis of the Chuyun Realm's imminent downfall." The Void nodded slowly, speaking with a heavy tone.

"As promised before, now that I have cultivated the perfect chaotic power, I shall help reconstruct your physical body," Yuan Ming said, raising his hand, a stream of pure chaotic power flowing like a gentle stream into the Void's body.

The Void quickly gathered this power, rapidly retreating into the Stealing Heaven Tripod to begin refining.

The body formed by Desire Power gradually took human form under the action of chaotic power, at a speed several times faster than before.

Moreover, the Void's skin gradually flushed with a blood-like hue, as if reborn, with faint soul power waves surging in its head.

"Good, good, good!" The Void's eyes sparkled with joy, praising endlessly.

"As I expected, chaotic power is indeed the source of all spiritual power, able to convert into Qi-Blood Soul Power!" He continued absorbing chaotic power, constantly tempering his body.

Yuan Ming did not linger at the scene, his figure flashed, quickly heading towards the Three Realms Immortal Boat.

Soon, he arrived at the massive Three Realms Immortal Boat.

The Immortal Boat quietly docked on the ground, with the soldiers and generals of the Demon Clan hiding within, not daring to show themselves lightly.

"Truly, the heavens are assisting me, today is perfect for capturing them all at once!" Yuan Ming coldly smiled, waving his hand to summon the Shura Palace.

Beams of silver light shot out from the Shura Palace, entwining the Three Realms Immortal Boat like silver chains, then with a sudden lift, it raised the entire Immortal Boat.

The Demon Clan cultivators inside the Three Realms Immortal Boat, sensing the situation outside, were all shocked.

But before they could act, the Three Realms Immortal Boat swayed and disappeared, taken into the Shura Palace's interior.

…

Outside the Wentian Secret Realm, the army dispatched from afar had long gathered, setting up large attack and defense arrays, preparing to face the Demon Clan army that could appear at any moment.

In a palace at the center of the military formation, Daoist Mu leaned over a table, examining the layout on it, eyes filled with concern.

"Senior, we've received early warnings and prepared so much, there won't be any issues," said a long-bearded cultivator from Evergreen Island, unable to help comforting him upon seeing his lingering worry.

"The battle at the Returning Ruins is incredibly fierce; over the past two days, our losses have been severe. How can I not worry? The more tense the fierce fighting over there becomes, the more I worry about the situation here." Daoist Mu shook his head and said.

"Ancestor Bing Lan has already gone to support the Returning Ruins battle, I'm sure good news will come soon," the long-bearded cultivator said.

"Hopefully." Daoist Mu sighed with a furrowed brow.

Just then, the communication token purposely hanging at Daoist Mu's waist suddenly lit up with a bioluminescent green light.

(The novel "Immortal" is about to conclude, and Wang Yu is already considering what to write next, most likely combining xianxia with science fiction for a new xianxia novel^^)
