Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Time-space disturbance!

The Immortal Coffin fully opened, storms arose, and Yang Zhiqian, the Taiyi Golden Immortal who had hidden in the void, was forced out, his aged eyes filled with terror.

This object is dangerous!

Even as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, how was he to transcend the power that was akin to the deprivation of years? Who among all living beings can escape the clutches of time? When the power of time descends, his life force and longevity will be rapidly cut down, his cultivation affected; within the time-space chaos, he may even be inferior to an ordinary immortal who has practiced the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill.

He cannot survive.

The last time Li An created a storm of temporal chaos, even the Taiyi Golden Immortals guarding the Past Life Palace fled directly upon sensing the threat, not daring to resist.

Now, Yang Zhiqian did not dare either.

So his first thought was... to turn and flee.

But at this moment, around Dao Mountain, numerous array plates suddenly lit up, the shadows of the arrays overlapping, their power reflecting each other, as if sealing the entire heavens and earth.

"It’s indeed a Taiyi Golden Immortal level array!"

Yang Zhiqian’s eyes widened in shock, regret flooding his heart. He understood everything now: Li An was acting all along, just to lure him into this array.

He was tricked.

The crucial point was, it was now extremely difficult to get out.

He unleashed all his cultivation, simultaneously wielding a copper mirror. Wherever the mirror shone, it was infused with the vast immortal power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, shaking the Bone Transformation Array laid by Li An.

The main issue is the materials!

An array made with treasure gems of Golden Immortal level usually cannot stop a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Were it not for the mysterious unpredictability of the Bone Transformation Array, merely his casual illumination was enough to turn the entire array into void.

And at this moment, the vast storm was already sweeping towards him.

There’s nowhere to hide.

Yang Zhiqian’s full cultivation unleashed, layers upon layers of golden light covering him, even using the blood energy of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, trying to resist the erosion of time power, but how could it be blocked? He did not carry a magical artifact specifically to guard against the aging force of time, and his skin was rapidly turning decrepit, covered in corpse blotches.

"No..."

Yang Zhiqian’s aged eyes bore a look of terror, he had already sensed the smell of death. Suddenly, he fixed his gaze on Li An, hesitating no longer, abandoning the assault on the surrounding array, instead rushing towards Li An.

He was quick to see the opportunity, knowing that he could no longer escape, the only hope... was to kill Li An.

To possess him.

To use his body, nourished by the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, to counter the storm of time.

His copper mirror shone towards Li An, employing forbidden techniques, his blood energy burning and transforming into invisible flames, wherever they reached, Li An was aghast.

The desperation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal was indeed hard to resist; he desperately tried to maneuver the power of the array, but was unable.

His whole person seemed petrified, frozen, unable to move, while Yang Zhiqian dragged his rapidly dying body to confront Li An.

Reaching Li An, his chest had already completely split open, a continuous flow of filthy blood draining from his internal organs.

In this attempt to seize Li An, he had paid a huge price, forfeiting half his life, even his immortal body was crumbling.

Had he not sensed no hope of survival, he would never have employed such harsh and forbidden techniques.

After all, as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, one’s body is itself a magical artifact, the foundation of the Great Dao, how could it be easily abandoned?

From his decaying body, a flash at the location of the Spirit Platform occurred, his primordial spirit flew out, directly aiming at Li An’s forehead.

A hint of ecstasy appeared in his aged eyes.

A Taiyi Golden Immortal’s primordial spirit taking over a minor celestial immortal should be extremely easy; furthermore, though he abandoned himself, Li An’s body is a Life Seed fully developed, its potential surpassing his own, not necessarily a loss.

But just as the thought flashed in his mind, suddenly he felt as if blocked by invisible forces; he... surprisingly couldn’t enter Li An’s sea of consciousness!

"What?!"

Yang Zhiqian was astonished, exhausting his strength, various primordial spirit techniques unleashed, in a frenzied state. Just possessing Taiyi Golden Immortal or Golden Immortal level protective primordial spirit spiritual artifacts, Li An shouldn’t be able to obstruct him.

Yet, he felt... the force defending Li An was something invisible and untouchable.

His countless mana felt like striking cotton.

He clearly saw Li An’s celestial level primordial spirit, it should have been an easy matter to crush it, a trivial effort... but he couldn’t approach!

Li An’s primordial spirit seemed encircled by a long celestial river, hard to cross, unreachable.

"The power of time..."

Yang Zhiqian realized, a chill washing over his heart, he could sense the force of time surrounding Li An’s primordial spirit, if unleashed, it might rival the external storm of time.

His regret was immense, had he not abandoned his body, he might have clung on a while longer...

Moreover, given this individual’s anonymity as a Shura, he should have realized the opposition had acquired ample opportunities from the Space-Time Secret Realm, ultimately he underestimated them.

And during the brief moment he delayed, in the battlefield the sweeping force of the storm of time had already enveloped both his primordial spirit and Li An!

"Ah –"

The force of time invaded his primordial spirit, his anguished scream echoed...
