Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 854: Chapter 379: Past and Present

Within the invisible battlefield, an unknown powerful presence is refining the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon.

In the void of chaotic forces across time, Hongbo Fairy smiles with satisfaction, while Celestial Monarch Eastern and Celestial Monarch Ge behind her remain expressionless, their thoughts unclear.

"That little schemer is indeed hard to control; if not for his weakness, he might stir up a tremendous storm."

Though she had long predicted Li An could not escape this trap, Li An’s series of clever strategies still left a deep impression on her.

At Taiji Mountain, the altar of life is already mingling yin and yang, meeting life and death, as Shangguan Xiaoxiao has already landed on the death altar with Li An.

"Yuan Ziyi, are you mad?!"

"Consecrate this altar, and with the Longevity Immortal Palace’s opening, yin and yang will reverse, life and death will return to their place, leading us all to catastrophic disaster!"

"Stop!"

At this moment, even the deceased spirits revealed a look of shock in their eyes.

Awakened from dead silence by someone calling forth karma, they could reappear. Now they try to stop Li An for their own safety, but Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s actions now betray all the deceased spirits’ interests.

"Do you not want to live anymore?"

"Why..."

"What does he want so badly that he forsakes his own life?"

Xu Jing and the others all looked exceedingly grim.

On the Saint Realm side, Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, and others were also astonished.

"What’s happening..."

"She’s caught Li An...?"

"Li An is actually the offering for the second altar?"

They were somewhat shocked, as according to Hongbo Fairy’s plan, Li An was the sacrificer, and the offering had long been prepared by Hongbo Fairy.

Now it appeared Hongbo Fairy had actually set up Li An?

"...such a pity."

Ye Cauldron sighed deeply, "Such a talented figure reduced to a pawn of the higher-ups, lamentable, unfortunate!"

He was the foremost genius of Treasure Cauldron Palace, familiar with the ghostly tricks of the upper echelon’s machinations, so when variables arose, he immediately understood the binding intricacies.

Yunxi gazed at Li An’s back, her beautiful eyes showing a slight complexity, saying, "Perhaps the original sacrifice was not just one; because of his strength, we were able to remain safe here."

Ye Cauldron was also quick-witted, instantly understanding.

Without Li An, what would things look like?

The offering... would need to be found elsewhere.

Without a doubt, in the Saint Realm, the geniuses practicing the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill would be slaughtered and taken to consecrate the death altar, a treatment that would fall on them.

"He actually... bore the calamity for us."

Ye Cauldron murmured with a long sigh, "I thought being killed by him in the Space-Time Secret Realm was a great vendetta, but now it seems all of us... owe him a debt of gratitude instead."

Yunxi said, "Indeed, the entire world owes him a favor. If the altar is activated and the Longevity Immortal Palace reverses life and death, resurrecting Immortal winds... whether willingly or not, his sacrifice today is enough to be sanctified."

Trying to keep her tone calm, her eyes involuntarily surged with complex emotions mixed—like sighs, lament, and disappointment intertwined.

...

Death altar.

The annihilating force made every inch of air emanate a desperate scent.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao began to activate the altar, her aura indeed carrying a power of death, seemingly able to destroy everything, even making Li An fearful.

As the altar opened, the force of death surged violently, unlike the life altar’s joyousness, it blanketed the entire death mountain range, Shangguan Xiaoxiao seemed transformed into a Death God.

She manipulated the changes of death force, when it reached peak intensity, she pulled out a hairpin from her head, the black jade and white edge daunting.

She smiled slightly, looking at Li An, as the hairpin slowly descended toward Li An’s neck.

She intended to use the hairpin to kill Li An.

At this moment, Li An ought to resist.

He should have self-destructed.

But he still hesitated because Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s lips were moving...

She didn’t make a sound, yet Li An could read her lip movement:

－－Li Gou, run!

The hairpin descended!

From within the black and white hairpin, a strange secret power suddenly flowed, at this moment within a three-step radius of Shangguan Xiaoxiao and Li An, no one could investigate, as Li An beneath the hairpin exchanged identities, the real Li An instantly entered the void, while beneath her hairpin appeared "another Li An."

Everything happened swiftly and precisely.

"Hmm?"

"What’s happened..."

Observing secretly, Hongbo Fairy and others suddenly sensed alarm, wondering what Shangguan Xiaoxiao was doing?

But the power that shielded their divine senses disappeared in a mere instant; Li An remained under Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s hairpin, and that hairpin, had already pierced into Li An’s body!

Life-filled blood splattered, beneath Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s blood-stained hairpin, Li An became an offering, offered first to the death altar; the death altar, injected with potent vitality, indeed began vigorously fluctuating.

"Excellent!"

"Life and death intersect... hahahaha..."

Hongbo Fairy and others breathed a sigh of relief, perceiving no anomaly.

After all, it was only a brief instant, besides they monitored the scene with divine senses, detecting no other changes, Li An still remained present, the altar was activated, what issue could there be?

"Li An!"

"This..."

People of the Saint Realm all sighed, a generation’s prodigy, who slaughtered and crushed everyone, did such a figure simply vanish?
