What is an immortal?

Chapter 1097 - 1061: Curtain Falls

"Still trying to escape? Immobilize!"

Yuan Ming naturally wouldn't let the three escape. He chased out from the Chaos Spiritual Domain, flipped his hand, and summoned a silver token, the Three Realms Immortal Order, and swung it towards the Yan Emperor and the three demons in the void.

A silver curtain of light descended, freezing the space power in that area, and everything stood still there.

The black light into which Yan Emperor et al. had transformed was also immobilized, unable to move.

Yuan Ming opened his mouth and spat out a massive black sword light, slashing towards the mass of black light.

With a "crack," the sound of breaking, the black light was split in half.

The Soul Destroying Sword Energy's Soul Destruction True Intent erupted, completely shredding the divine soul of the Yan Emperor and the three, turning it into nothingness, leaving only a formidable mana and Qi-blood power, along with a dense collection — up to hundreds — of Dao Seal Divine Skills.

Only then did Yuan Ming breathe a sigh of relief, and he formed a seal with his hands, again opening the Chaos Spiritual Domain to refine and absorb the remnants of the Yan Emperor and the three.

Yan Emperor, Mountain Emperor, and Star Emperor had dominated the Demon World for so many years, their cultivation profound and unpredictable, each possessed more than a hundred divine skills and Dao seals, each exceptionally subtle, especially their Tao Divine Abilities, which were not beneath his Chaos Dao Fruit.

Yan Emperor's Tao Divine Ability was precisely the previous black heart, it contained the true intent of slaughter, able to forcibly trigger potential using killing intent, be it towards spiritual treasures or cultivators.

Mountain Emperor's Tao Divine Ability was the Heavenly Creation Divine Fist, while Star Emperor's divine skill was a starry sky illusion technique, precisely the one Yuan Ming had encountered before, which even the Chaos Dao Fruit couldn't unravel for the time being.

"The Demon World's foundation is indeed deep. If not for my fortunate acquisition of the Stealing Heaven Tripod and the realization of Chaos True Intent, the Chuyun Realm would inevitably face destruction." Yuan Ming thought to himself.

He then manipulated the Chaos Dao Fruit, devouring all Dao seals, ultimately leaving one Spiritual Pearl that even the Chaos Dao Fruit couldn't refine.

This Spiritual Pearl looked like a spiritual treasure but lacked substance; it was filled with a white light distinct from mana.

Yuan Ming was not unfamiliar with this white light; it was an immortal power.

"My Supreme Immortal Body has been cultivated, yet I haven't understood the immortal power. With this immortal power, things will be very different." Yuan Ming carefully stored the Spiritual Pearl and turned straight toward the battlefield.

In the Demon World's army, the remaining Demon Clan Mahayana existences showed expressions of despair, their war intent entirely extinguished.

...

Several days later, inspiring news spread throughout the Chuyun Realm.

The war of realms was declared over, with over a dozen Demon Emperors from the Demon World invading the Chuyun Realm being entirely slain; the rest of the Demon Clan were either killed or captured, amounting to total annihilation.

Yuan Ming's name, following the war's news, spread throughout the Chuyun Realm.

Through his unaided efforts, he completely obliterated the invading Demon World mighty beings. His fame eclipsed Daoist Mu, earning him the title of the Chuyun Realm's foremost Mahayana.

The third realm war concluded, and as time passed, fifty years swiftly went by.

As the headquarters of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, White Emperor City was formally renamed Wanxian City, and the City Lord Mansion expanded to become the core government office of the entire Immortal Alliance.

After the war, numerous sects led by three major forces gradually joined the Immortal Alliance, propelling it to become the greatest cultivation force in the Chuyun Realm's history, surpassing any previous sect.

As the founder of the Immortal Alliance and hero of the third realm war, Yuan Ming's prestige reached an unprecedented height.

Whether it's his own power or the forces he commanded, Yuan Ming completely dominated the realm, unequivocally becoming the foremost cultivator of the current Chuyun Realm.

However, even at such a height, Yuan Ming did not seize the opportunity to suppress other sect forces or fully expand his own, but instead voluntarily relinquished the practical power of the Immortal Alliance.

Under his direction, the Chuyun Realm various major sects united to form a grand alliance of eleven members.

The alliance members were elders of the highest prestige from each major sect, who made joint decisions to handle various affairs across the Chuyun Realm, including resolving conflicts between sects, monitoring changes in the Demon World, nurturing new elite cultivators, and addressing various disastrous events.

While the Immortal Alliance visibly led the Chuyun Realm, the Double Moon Alliance also took a religious form, preaching everywhere and establishing numerous branches, becoming an equally formidable force.

In a mere few decades, under the leadership of these two alliances, the Chuyun Realm entered a phase of rapid development, not only cultivating a large batch of high-quality new cultivators but also repairing most of the aftermath left from the previous realm war.

Many former battlefields, with countless souls unable to reincarnate, became ghostly evils, places where numerous Demon Clan mighty beings perished, were contaminated by demonic qi, with the remaining arrays becoming deadly traps.

Previously, no one would manage them, letting them either perish with time or become greater calamities.

Yet the Immortal Alliance and Double Moon Alliance organized a massive workforce, spending countless efforts to resolve these issues.

Thus, the entire Chuyun Realm visibly improved, bit by bit.

During these years, Yuan Ming wasn't idle; he personally handled numerous dangerous places that typical individuals couldn't manage, including removing the remains of the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada from the Death Abyss.

After moving this remains, the danger of the Death Abyss sharply decreased, marking the half-opening of the passage exiting the Yunhuang Continent.
