Immortal of the Ages

"My end is nigh ?" Moon Fairy scrambled to her feet, her fox eyes glaring at him with a fierce malice, "This is my domain, who do you think you are?"

"Still talking tough?" Yun Xiao, with a cold smirk, suddenly appeared before Moon Fairy, lunging forward with a stab!

Azure Dragon Squall!

His sword called to the heavens, an azure dragon burst forth, sword like a tempest, twenty-nine layers of Sword Aura howling, aiming at the three-tailed demon fox!

Within this enchanting demon magic, Yun Xiao truly couldn’t see it! However, Blue Star and Red Moon could smell its scent and relayed its position to Yun Xiao.

The aura of this sword, its violence, reminded Moon Fairy of Zhao Jianxing from three years ago!

Three years earlier, Moon Fairy, leading more than a dozen eight-hundred-year-old Demon Kings, had besieged the exhausted Zhao Jianxing! And now, she faced a prime Yun Xiao all alone!

All dreams and illusions scattered at this moment! Only this sword bore the true essence of life and death!

"You, a mere illusion demon, what right do you have to cross swords with me, a Sword Cultivator?" Yun Xiao laughingly declared in a chilly voice, Azure Dragon Squall, unstoppable! "Northern Wastelands Demon Emperor, is this all you've got?"

KLANG KLANG KLANG! Moon Fairy, with claws and tail, continuously parried Yun Xiao’s Sword Soul. Even though her demon magic was ineffective, her magic power was still considerably vast, barely suppressing Yun Xiao’s onslaught!

Just as Moon Fairy exhaled slightly, she saw the youth in front of her suddenly draw his sword again!

This sword, with a force like thunder and aweinspiring might, seemed like an angered dragon of the azure heavens taking form, the sword like a tornado, opening its maw to bite down on the three-tailed fox demon!

"An insignificant fox demon dares to resist a dragon?" This imperious proclamation, carried with it the rigid righteousness of Yun Xiao’s heart as a Sword Cultivator!

It was disdainful! It was also overbearing! More so, it was a notion permeating through, belief reaching to the heavens!

A mere fox dares to wreak havoc? The aura of this sword burst forth, in willpower alone crushing Moon Fairy, causing her, the three-tailed demon fox, to plunge into an abyss of fear in her instinct, as though drowning!

"No, no, no!" She screamed in a pitiful voice.

In the next instant, Yun Xiao's sword fiercely struck her forehead!

BAM! Moon Fairy's head exploded, smashing harshly onto the ground, the earth and mountains shook for a moment!

SPLURT! She spat out a mouthful of demon blood, her eyes seeing stars, head spinning!

"Yun Xiao, let’s talk this through!" By the time she hastily uttered these words, Yun Xiao was already stepping on her head.

"I have no words to exchange with you!" Yun Xiao declared. Only hatred, only vengeance suffused him, not just for the revenge of the Sword Pavilion Seven but also the resentment of the thousand mortal nations!

BAM BAM BAM! His fists, one after another, hammered upon the demon fox's head, splattering blood.

In the white mystical fog, the screams of this once-proud Northern Wastelands Demon Emperor echoed abruptly through Dark Abyss Mountain.

"Yun Xiao has won!" Tears of elation flowed freely from the three thousand Azure Spirit Sword Cultivators. He had vanquished the nightmare of the Azure Spirit Sword Sect and even shattered the disaster that had haunted the thousand mortal nations, leaving them trembling at mere whispers of it.

"Slay all demons in the Northern Wastelands! Wipe out these abominations, Azure Spirit Sword Cultivators!!” Courage, killing intent, and a thousand years' worth of vengeance exploded forth.

"Our Empress has been defeated..."

"All the Demon Kings are dead!"

"The Northern Wastelands are finished!"

The remaining demons, save for a few foolhardy lesser ones, all crumbled. Without a second word, they scampered away, tails between their legs, leaving their backs vulnerable to the Azure Spirit Sword Cultivators.

“None shall escape, you chaotic demons!” Zhao Xuanran, Chen Dong, and Li Chenlong, leading the Azure Spirit Sword Cultivators, chased and slaughtered them by Sovereign Swords, forcing those panicking demons toward the peak of Dark Abyss Mountain, herding them toward Ye Tiance, Jiang Yue, and others under the Bluedrop Flag..

In that moment, the loyal souls wept atop the Bluedrop Flag. They became a banner themselves!

Three thousand Azure Spirit Sword Cultivators rushed forward, trampling upon the bones of the last group of demons to reunite with them. And then, to bring them home!

Who would have thought that there would come a day when they would tread upon the corpses and bloodied grounds of the Northern Wasteland's demons, to meet under the Bluedrop Flag?

With petty characters assuming power and demons obscuring the heavens, how could it be possible? Yet today, a mere sixteen-year-old in white robes led them, carving out a path through a sky-blue sea of blood!

A scene that even, Ning Yan, the beautiful woman in the black dress on the western mountain ridge beheld. She had become wise, no longer speaking out. She silently observed everything.

When the mournful howls of Moon Fairy reached her, and those three thousand Azure Spirit Sword Cultivators, under Zhao Xuanran's leadership, slaughtered their way to the peak of Dark Abyss Mountain, she had to admit that today's happenings in the Northern Wastelands were indeed spectacular!

It was something to be sung about, a tale soaked with valor and pain.

"Alright," Ning Yan conceded with a silent exhale, "I admit it… I wish to take this boy to Sword Heaven, to see just how far he can forge his path."

Was he of low intelligence? She dared not utter such words again. After all, her face still harbored the heat of embarrassment even in this moment. Her only hesitation now was the words she'd spilled in front of those two elders. How would she manage to maintain a visage of innocence, as if she had said nothing at all, when she went to meet the youth in a while?

A headache! An utter, throbbing headache!

"And her!" Her eyes, cold and unyielding, locked onto a woman, a mirror of herself. "If not for this youth, you'd never lay eyes on me in this lifetime!" She couldn’t forgive. Her life shouldn't have unfolded this way. The existence of this girl was destiny's cruel joke upon her!

"What is this youth doing, not killing the fox demon outright?" the woman furrowed her brow.

Amidst the bewildering white fog, Yun Xiao descended from the blood-stained white fox. He glanced down at his chest and said, "The timing is about right, I leave the rest to you."

"No problem, watch your daddy perform!" A small black beast, with a milky, infantile voice, spoke the most arrogant words and pounced in front of the Moon Fairy.

"This is..." The Moon Fairy, on her last breath and amidst terror, recoiled.

RIIP! The little black beast’s chest violently burst open to reveal a massive, gaping maw. From it, a crimson tongue, riddled with barbs, abruptly thrust into the fox demon’s head, burrowing into its brain.

"No! No!" The Moon Fairy's shriek was harrowing, yet Yun Xiao held her fast, negating any struggle.

Soon, a wailing soul mist was rolled back by Red Moon’s tongue. With a swift gulp, Moon Fairy’s desperate cries came to a sudden end. What remained before Yun Xiao was the soulless corpse of a three-tailed fox demon.

"Creator, you’ve struck it rich!" Blue Star, his azure eyes wide, stared at the demon corpse before him, a cascade of emotions pouring forth.

"How have I struck it rich this time?" Yun Xiao inquired. It was the reminders from these two that spared Yun Xiao from slaying the Moon Fairy with a single sword strike. Certainly, he had reserved an even more miserable fate for her soul!

"This happens to be a rare Split Body Seed!" Blue Star declared with a modicum of excitement.

"Split Body Seed? Didn’t you say this was a Moon grade Seed of Creation? What's so special about this?" Yun Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"It's Seed of Creation for body-doubling, a kind of fleshly talent Seed of Creation! It fundamentally has no rank! While this talent doesn’t amplify the Dantian, flesh, or skeleton, it's quite useful," Blue Star said with a mischievous grin.

"What’s it good for?" Yun Xiao asked.

"After you refine this Seed of Creation, there's no need to absorb it into your body. You can split off a small part of your soul to control this body, making it your double!" Blue Star explained.

"A double?" Yun Xiao, puzzled, inquired further, "So, the double is my own body?"

"Yes, and controlling it will be like using your other hand!" Blue Star answered seriously.

Yun Xiao froze, pondering internally, "I've already borrowed a corpse for my rebirth once, seizing the body meant for the Creator Immortal's reincarnation. And now I need to split off a small portion of my soul and occupy another body?"

One person, two bodies?

"So, if I die, can I continue living with this fox demon’s body?" Yun Xiao asked curiously.

"No way! Your main soul is in the Creator Immortal’s body. If that dies, your small soul will also perish. But if the small soul dies, it’s no skin off your nose," Blue Star elaborated.

Yun Xiao understood! The main body was the main body. The double was the double. Their statuses were different!

"The problem is, besides the Seed of Creation for body-doubling, this fox demon’s body doesn't have any other talents, does it?" Yun Xiao pointed out. What use was it?

"You could use this fox demon's body to cultivate another Ancestral God's demonic techniques. Furthermore, the demon and human Immortals are different; they achieve sanctification through their physical bodies. As long as you have that demonic technique, even this three-tailed fox demon could cultivate to become a supremely powerful saint! The speed of improvement might not be worse than your main body! Besides, you could also transfer a portion of a Seed of Creation to it in the future," Blue Star proposed.

"Use a demon as a double?" Yun Xiao didn’t mind this; it was merely a tool after all! With this double, it would even be easier to infiltrate demon society and do many things his main body couldn’t. Even play a little undercover game.

What Yun Xiao cared about was something else! He immediately shook his head vehemently, waving his hands in refusal, "No, I absolutely cannot refine it as a double."

"Why?" Blue Star was stunned.

Yun Xiao looked down, his eyes trembling as he glanced at the three-tailed demon fox, "This is a female demon... female! I can’t be a woman, not even as a double..."

Imagine a demon transforming into a human form. If he looked down and saw... breasts? Yun Xiao shivered at the mere thought of that image. A staunchly straight man of his generation, he couldn’t accept such a scenario.

"Yun Xiao, have you gone mad? This way, you could drink your own demon milk! Hurry up and refine it; I’m getting thirsty just thinking about it!" Red Moon extended a claw, wrapping it around his thigh, already prepared to throw a tantrum!

Yun Xiao was speechless. Then he shook his head. He absolutely refused! "A true man standing in this world can't resolve his physiological needs himself. No! Absolutely not! Not even in death!"

Red Moon was dumbfounded! Physiological needs? It just wanted to drink demon milk. it hadn't thought that Yun Xiao had already thought a step further!

"Good heavens!" Blue Star suddenly squawked in shock.

Yun Xiao cast a glance its way, only to witness the little black beast lifting the hind leg of the three-tailed demon fox with its petite arm, peeking underneath with what could only be described as immense curiosity!

Once its inspection concluded, it gazed at Yun Xiao, eyes wide with an excitable gleam, and shrieked, "Creator, it’s a male!"

"What?! Impossible!" Yun Xiao felt as though he had been struck by lightning. He had been bewitched by this fox spirit. How could it possibly be male? He leaned in immediately for a closer inspection.

"Holy mother of the Heavenly Dao!" Yun Xiao was flabbergasted. Damn it! It truly was a male fox!

"Is this for real!?" Yun Xiao’s mind buzzed noisily. He recalled the humanoid form of the Moon Fairy just a moment ago… long hair cascading like a waterfall, skin of the softest white, graceful and enchanting demeanor, a smile as delicate and intoxicating as blooming flowers, eyes gleaming with tantalizing glances, and a voice like silky sweet molasses… It was quite the beguiling creature!

"But... from what I recall, it did seem to be quite...flat up front, indeed..." Then, another thought ocfcurred to Yun Xiao.

This Moon Fairy also had a body double, birthed from the special characteristic of having the Split Body Seed. However, to beguile Yun Xiao and devour his yang energy, it had to utilize Jiang Yue's body instead. If it were a female all along, why not do the deed itself?

"Uh!" Yun Xiao stood there, dumbfounded. "So... that humanoid fox spirit just now... was truly a male..."

If it were female, how beautiful it would be! But if it were male, capable of driving a whole slew of male lesser demons into frenzy, Yun Xiao could only say this demon magic was way too incredible! "This is utterly amazing!"

Moon Fairy? A male! Yun Xiao was speechless! Absolutely speechless! A male fox! “It’s so darn wild!”

This was demonic, truly demonic.

Yun Xiao, with an expression of righteous indignation, appeared ethereal and detached, while the humanoid form of this fox spirit hovered somewhere between masculine and feminine, mysteriously frigid...

"What's your excuse now? It's a male fox! Are you gonna refine it or not? The body is gonna start rotting if you wait any longer!" Blue Star bellowed.

"Fine, I'll do it!" Yun Xiao gritted his teeth. An additional body, an avatar, meant an additional method, an additional strategy, an additional way to kill! This was the means of the Creator Immortal!

Blue Star's chosen method of handling the situation guaranteed maximal gain. Why wouldn't he refine the body? Of course he'd do it! He'd do it until it was completely his!

"Hah… I guess pleasing myself won't be a solo task anymore…" He felt a pang of regret.
