Chapter 1899: Chapter 899: Reversal!!!_2

It was a gigantic deep-sea beast, a full thousand zhang in size, clinging to both sides of the ocean trench. Its two eyes were as large as lanterns, and the might radiating from its body was immense, comparable to a Primordial Spirit Demon.

However, it had no real intelligence.

Chen Yuan had already discovered it earlier, but in his eyes, this thing was no different from an ant. If it didn’t come to provoke him, he wouldn’t spare it a thought.

But if it insisted on courting death, it had no one to blame.

Dealing with such a ferocious beast could be said to be both difficult and simple. Its intelligence was low; one strand of Divine Thought condensed into a Soul-breaking Needle was enough to send it completely on its way.

Of course, if it were a Martial Artist of the Third or Fourth Realm, then it would be troublesome.

You would first have to break its physical defenses.

Casually tossing it aside, Chen Yuan continued deeper, and at the same time, his Divine Thought kept probing further downward.

He had a feeling that his harvest this time would be enormous!

….

In the depths beneath the Boundary Domain, where the Human World’s Origin converged, Taihao Immortal Venerable, who was currently absorbing and devouring the origin power, suddenly furrowed his brows slightly, a trace of worry appearing between them.

Just now, he suddenly sensed a hint of danger.

It seemed that some powerful enemy was at this very moment heading toward this place.

“Could it be Chen Yuan?”

Taihao Immortal Venerable’s gaze flickered, and his expression grew solemn.

After all, at present within this Boundary Realm, the only one who could threaten him was Chen Yuan!

Only he could give him this kind of feeling.

But how was that possible?

Could it be that Chen Yuan knew he was actually feigning death?

Could Chen Yuan really search out this Origin entrance inch by inch?

That shouldn’t be….

Taihao Immortal Venerable had of course not died at Chen Yuan’s hands. The reason he took out the Undying Immortal Medicine, brought out the Eternal Life Platform, and spoke those righteous, resolute, death-facing words was all just to mislead Chen Yuan.

If you wanted him dead, how could it be that easy?

He had always been cautious by nature and had left himself a way out.

If Chen Yuan had died at his hands and that mysterious Altar had fallen into his possession, then naturally there would be no need for any schemes. All he would have to do was methodically take control of the Altar.

And thereby detach from the Heavenly Dao and break through to the Seventh Realm.

Yet who would have thought that in the end Chen Yuan would be able to逆势突破—break through against the tide—and his combat strength even suppressed him by a head. In the end, Chen Yuan even slew his True Body and chased him all the way into the Heavenly Dao Territory.

At that point, continuing to fight Chen Yuan was no longer a wise choice. The final outcome would definitely be his death, so after weighing things, he decided to feign death.

Handing over everything to Chen Yuan, handing the Human World to Chen Yuan.

Let him be the one to resist the extraterritorial Evil Demons.

As for himself, he would take this opportunity to devour the Boundary Origin and step into a higher level.

Chen Yuan killing him twice in succession was actually helping him free himself from the influence of the Heavenly Dao. Just like now, he already had an essential difference from the Heavenly Dao.

He was an independent existence.

As long as he devoured the Boundary Origin, he could use this vast power to break through to the Seventh Realm and become a truly Undying, indestructible existence.

But now, it seemed something had gone awry.

Should he leave?

Or was this slight panic merely born from his fear of Chen Yuan?

Looking at the Boundary Origin before him, Taihao Immortal Venerable felt, for the first time, a trace of hesitation in his heart.

If he left this place, with Chen Yuan’s cultivation and the might of the Human Emperor’s Qi Fortune, it was highly likely he would sense his existence. He could be said to have fallen directly into a dilemma.

…

As the distance he delved underground grew deeper and deeper, that feeling in the depths of Chen Yuan’s heart grew ever stronger. He kept feeling that he was about to encounter something that would interest him.

Thus, Chen Yuan’s speed grew faster and faster.

Gradually.

A million zhang….

Five million zhang….

Ten million zhang….

As he continued downward, the surrounding seawater had long since disappeared, but Chen Yuan discovered an unfathomably deep tunnel, and at the same time, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy in the surroundings became increasingly dense.

He could even sense an extremely vast and majestic power.

Until….the very bottom.

When Chen Yuan’s Divine Thought probed into the place where Taihao Immortal Venerable was, both sides fell into silence. Taihao Immortal Venerable somewhat regretted not having left earlier, but it was already too late.

Chen Yuan, on the other hand, raised a brow, then suddenly accelerated.

Before long, the two met.

Though separated by a distance of a thousand zhang, both could clearly make out the expressions on each other’s faces, as well as…the astonishment on Chen Yuan’s face at that vast origin power.

“This is…..”

“The Origin of this Boundary Domain,” Taihao Immortal Venerable let out a long breath and explained calmly.

“Oh?”

“In truth, at the Realm you and I stand at, we are already able to see some things—that this Boundary Realm is fundamentally a man-made heaven and earth, just like your inner world.

When it grows to a certain level, who dares say it cannot evolve into a true heaven and earth?

As for whether there exist naturally born Boundary Domains in the starry sky, I do not know. But this Boundary Domain where we reside can be confirmed to be the legacy left behind by some powerful Cultivator.

And this origin power is its core.

Although after who knows how many tens of thousands of years, it has supplied the heavens and earth and consumed an enormous amount of power, still….an extremely vast power remains. If one can devour it.

You and I both have hope of stepping into the Seventh Realm.

Of course, as the price, once the Origin is exhausted, this Boundary Domain will also begin to collapse.”

“So this is the secret behind your feigned death?” Chen Yuan stared at Taihao Immortal Venerable and asked.

In fact, when he sensed Taihao Immortal Venerable’s aura, he had already faintly guessed a few things in his heart, including some past doubts and curiosities.

Now they were all answered.

No wonder the other party had been willing to die.

And die so cleanly.

So it was all…to mislead him.

If not for the guidance of the Qi Fortune Altar leading him here, then when the extraterritorial Evil Demons descended in the future and he was locked in battle, it was highly likely that some peach-picker would appear.

But now, that possibility no longer existed.

Because he would eliminate this hidden danger and threat.

“After you destroyed my True Body, I was no longer your match. Rather than fight to the death, it was better to leave myself a road to survival and wait for another day.”

Taihao Immortal Venerable no longer concealed his intentions.

In such circumstances, at such a time and place, no matter what he said, Chen Yuan would not believe him.

Better to leave them both some semblance of dignity.

“I killed you twice. That should have completely wiped you out, shouldn’t it?” Chen Yuan’s gaze shifted slightly. The reason he had been so certain was because of Qi Fortune. If Taihao Immortal Venerable hadn’t died.

How could the Qi Fortune have poured into the Altar?

“The first time was my True Body, the second time was the Heavenly Dao Embodiment. Now….this is a contingency I left behind a very long time ago. The Heavenly Immortal’s All Laws Return to One, Undying and indestructible.

Just like the Demon Emperor: as long as the Origin is Undying, the True Body does not perish. As long as you don’t follow the thread of causality to annihilate all my trump cards, I will not die. So back then, that is why I said.

You…cannot kill me.”

“The Dao of Causality….”

“Transcend the river of time, grasp causality, and can annihilate past and present….”

“How much strength do you still have now? Are you still qualified to fight me?”

Chen Yuan asked.

“Not enough,” Taihao Immortal Venerable replied with complete candor.

“With my current strength, it would be difficult even to wound you. After all, you have not given me much time to devour the Origin. This is the best time for you to kill me.

If we wait several decades or even a hundred years, then it will be my turn to suppress and kill you.”

“You’re not afraid?” Chen Yuan said.

“What use is fear? Will you hold back?”

Taihao Immortal Venerable countered.

“You’ve already said you’ll suppress and kill me a hundred years from now. How could I possibly hold back?”

“Exactly. Since you intend to kill me without fail, then whether I bow my head or not makes no difference. If I can’t live by lowering my head, I might as well truly face death calmly.”

Chen Yuan smiled, then withdrew the smile and said in a deep voice:

“The you standing here now—is this your last chance? Or have you left another embodiment somewhere in the Boundary Domain?”

Taihao Immortal Venerable gave a mysterious smile and replied:

“What do you think?”

Good afternoon.

It won’t have the same ending as the last book. Thank you for your support.
