Longevity Chronicles

As soon as the object appeared, the sky above Shangyang City was immediately flooded with blood light, and countless resentful spirit apparitions emerged, maybe a hundred thousand, perhaps a million, or even more... it was impossible to clearly count the number of tormented souls, roaring and weeping, but no matter how much they struggled, they could not escape from that peculiar iron sand.

And what was quite abnormal was the life these resentful spirits had before.

The Demon Evil Cultivators used life souls to refine treasures and generally did not discriminate against who they chose, disregarding age or gender.

But at this moment, most of the souls that surged out from that iron sand were robust men, young women, and little children's resentful spirits.

Elderly people were one in ten thousand.

Seeing this scene, in an instant, including Tao Qian, Zhong Ziyang, and Lin Bujue from the Ancestor Dragon Society, all their faces drastically changed.

Even without Jia Sanyuan stating anything, everyone guessed the origin of this object.

Lin Bujue, still a young man with a kind heart and remaining youthful ardor, could hardly bear the scene before him; his face twisted with rage as he shouted vehemently:

"Beast! Jia Sanyuan, you are truly a beast, worse than pigs and dogs."

"I, Lin Bujue, swear here that I will take your life and end your Dao path in this lifetime."

As he bellowed these words, Tao Qian's expression subtly shifted, and he looked at Jia Sanyuan as if he were looking at a dead man.

Normally, if an unknown loose cultivator suddenly made such a vow, they'd suffer backlash.

After all, Jade-faced Immortal Man Jia Sanyuan was no ordinary Evil Cultivator.

He was not only the Young Sect Leader of the Seven Evils Sect but also the favored disciple of the old monster Alchemist Yang Longxi.

Even Ying Qingdi couldn't kill him in a short time.

Yet Lin Bujue was different.

Others did not know his origins, but Tao Qian knew a bit.

The Spirit Coffin lineage!

Yuan Gong personally stated: His origins are not weaker than Master Tao.

Being cursed like this by a junior, Jia Sanyuan initially wanted to scoff, but in that instant, he sensed an ominous foreboding.

As if he had truly provoked some terrifying existence?

Of course, that feeling passed in an instant, and Jia Sanyuan, constantly tortured, could not afford to ponder deeply.

He just sneered and then threw that iron sand towards the depths beneath Shangyang City.

That iron sand, transformed into dark blood light, entered the ground like a divine thunder, emitting a loud thunderous roar, aiming directly at the massive Meat God No.1 Machine lurking deep underground.

Afterward, this Jade-faced Immortal Man, out of revenge and to provoke the members of the Ancestor Dragon Society,

Intentionally said towards Lin Bujue, Tao Qian, and Zhong Ziyang:

"You guessed correctly, this object is called 'Great Extinction Blood Soul Pearl', it is indeed an absolutely pure Demon Treasure."

"I, the Seven Evils Sect, have been operating Blood and Flesh Factories throughout New Moon Province, using humans as materials, refining elixirs, medicines, flesh, marrow, souls, and even desires and lifespans, completely processing them until we extract the last value possible and crudely stuffing straw to fill those human sheds... This magnificent feat has enveloped the vast territory of New Moon Province with Black Cloud Blood Miasma and Demon Soul Blood Pearls in a hundred cities and counties."

"And this treasure is refined from the 'Miasma Essence' in the Black Cloud Blood Miasma mixed with the 'Soul Essence' from the Demon Soul Blood Pearls."

"So-called full utilization, do you all now recognize the methods of my Seven Evils Sect?"

As soon as Jia Sanyuan finished boasting,

From depths beneath Shangyang City, a terrifying explosion suddenly erupted.

Then came a constant, finely agonizing scream that caused five million people, including Tao Qian and Zhong Ziyang, the True Practitioners, to show pained expressions.

The sound, entering their ears, felt like countless steel needles piercing their souls, ceaselessly stirring.

"Hahaha... it's done, it's done."

"Outer Realm Meat God, quickly wake up."

"This ignorant flesh creature has the fortune to enter the world and indulge, and speaks of fear? The five million mortals in the city, through ancient and modern times, this must be the biggest of feasts, silly creature, fear not, let no one fear."

"Start eating, just eat, eat for me..."

It seemed Jia Sanyuan was indeed a bit mad due to severe torture.

But his methods were exceedingly ruthless.

"This is bad."

"The Divine Power restraining the Outer Realm Meat God on the Ancestor God Tablet was once driven into hibernation, afraid to consume humans, but now this scoundrel has awakened it with the 'Great Extinction Blood Soul Pearl', and it's likely to overcome its fear and start consuming humans, possibly opening the Ancestor God Tablet to the Seven Saints Mysterious God Prohibition... Are we about to be defeated in our rebellion?"

At this moment, everyone could see the drastically shifting situation and the trajectory leading to downfall.

The Ancestor Dragon Society side, everyone's expressions changed.

People looked at Ying Qingdi, who was still relentlessly entangled by Jia Sanyuan, and their already unstable morale began to waver.

Zhong Ziyang, Lin Bujue, Chen Xiyi, Qi Daozhen, Shen Ruolan... and other Heroes and Cultivators exchanged glances, each sighed deeply and started preparing their ultimate techniques, ready to fight desperately.

Yin Susu, Xu Wenkai, and others, harboring their own schemes, began retreating in different directions, ready to transform into rainbows and escape at any moment. Each face showed unwillingness and regret, lamenting the victory fruit that was about to wither unexpectedly and could not be harvested.

The only "abnormality" was Tao Qian.

Or rather, Master Skull Smashing Lin Runiu.

Upon seeing the Great Extinction Blood Soul Pearl, he was also enraged.

Especially looking at the millions of resentful souls, his fury reached its limits.

To make the majority of a province's population not survive past twenty-five would normally require a massive war.

But the Seven Evil Sects managed it with the operation of a Blood and Flesh Factory.

Committing such monstrous deeds that obliterated humanity was not enough; Jia Sanyuan truly drained every last drop of value, refining their remaining soul essence into a Demon Pearl to awaken the Outer Realm Meat God.

Tao Qian also sighed deeply, first glanced at the people of the Ancestor Dragon Society whose minds were unsettled, and then looked over to the intoxicated, wildly arrogant Jade-faced Immortal Man Jia Sanyuan.

This person known as Jade-faced seemed like a merely superficial and flaunting figure.

Now, however, no one would think so.

He was first tortured, recited the "Dragon God Miao Scripture," invoked the Dragon Rhino Evil Power to break the situation, then used the flesh of a Dragon Beast to defile the Ancestor God Tablet, using the Extinction Soul Pearl to awaken the Meat God; with a series of actions, he completely turned the tide.

Was the Ancestor Dragon Society, who was about to achieve total victory, going to lose now?

"What a pity!"

"The million resentful souls awakened... not just the Outer Realm Meat God but also a treasure."

Suddenly, Tao Qian shook his head and said two words.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand toward the front of the Overlord Palace within Shangyang City.

There lay a bronze sacrificial tripod that seemed quite ordinary.

"It's named Yu Ding, born from the merits of the Human Dao."

"With a million tortured lives here needing liberation, if not now, when else?"

Just at this critical moment when all Cultivators were ready to give their all.

Tao Qian's shouts resounded across the battlefield.

What followed was a sight that made both sides of good and evil widen their eyes.

A grand ancient sound was heard, the bronze tripod screamed.

A tremendously pure and vast Human Dao righteousness surged up right before the Overlord Palace.

Within this column of energy, a Divine Treasure distinctly appeared.

The object, also made of bronze.

With three legs and two ears, its shape was simple yet majestic, the Divine Light turbulent.

Its surface was engraved with ancient celestial scripts, sea devils, barbaric alien entities, Evil Spirits, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning... It seemed as if all things in the world were on it, and in a blink, they all seemed to come to life, only waiting for the master to command, then all would burst forth and suppress this era.

As the tripod flew out, the vast and magnificent aura suddenly descended.

All the Cultivators, from both righteous and evil sides, were amazed and covetous.

Even fools could tell this was an extraordinary treasure, one that recently made the whole Longevity Heavenly Dynasty, the seventy-two provinces, and the entire Cultivation World boil over, being fiercely sought and contested—a part of the Nine Provinces' Twelve Artifacts.

Among them, the Yu Ding.

Almost reflexively, many Cultivators wanted to rush to grab it, including Han Xiao and Yang Cang.

But soon, they all realized an unacceptable truth.

This Divine Artifact Yu Ding, as soon as it appeared, had already chosen its master.

None other than the Master Skull Smashing Lin Runiu from the Ancestor Dragon Society.

He merely raised his hand, and Yu Ding flew to him.

At the same time, he did not forget to mock the Seven Evils Sect and their Evil Cultivators:

"Jia Sanyuan, you fools have occupied Shangyang City for long yet didn't realize this Divine Treasure was right before your eyes."

"To be on Treasure Mountain without knowing its worth shows you are all people without virtue or fortune."

"If I were you, early retirement would be advisable, to avoid more misfortunes later and being unable to find liberation."
