My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1223: The Shock of Witnessing Holy Dynasty

The youth with a sinister appearance chuckled and declared, “Just a nobody. However, if you wish to visit our Holy Dynasty of Great Qi, I can introduce you.”

Sun Luyuan contemplated briefly, then clasped his fists and answered, “In that case, I will trouble you, little friend.”

A meaningful smile appeared on the face of the sinister-looking youth, Ou Shangtian.

“Hold on tight.”

Issuing a sharp cry, his silhouette blurred forward instantly, landing a palm on Sun Luyuan’s shoulder.

Sun Luyuan sensed his vision spinning wildly. The instant after, endless void surrounded him.

Ahead, Ou Shangtian raced swiftly to blaze the trail.

Sun Luyuan scrambled to catch up.

“This young fellow’s speed in flight is remarkably swift.” Sun Luyuan reflected inwardly, alarmed.

The subtle, radiant multicolored brilliance enveloping his frame ignited in Sun Luyuan a covetous urge reminiscent of his encounter with the Spirit of Heaven and Earth long ago.

His mindset, previously brimming with assurance for the journey, now stirred with unease. After drifting through the void haphazardly for a spell, a breathtaking panorama, veiled like submerged landscapes, abruptly unveiled itself in the distance.

A gigantic light orb, its core mysteries concealed from view.

Myriad stars circled the luminous sphere, gleaming with dazzling light.

Each star resembled its own Cave-Heaven realm.

From such a vast distance, the vision still struck Sun Luyuan to his core.

“Is this the small world of Great Qi?”

“How could any small world span such immensity?!”

Amid his heart-shaking astonishment, Sun Luyuan abruptly regained clarity.

The youth guiding him had vanished entirely at some unknown juncture!

“Senior Hundred Flowers, I’ve nabbed a Dao Integration cultivator from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. He was skulking about, obviously plotting mischief…”

Faintly, the youth’s voice echoed from some hidden origin.

“Wait!”

Dread surged in Sun Luyuan as he geared to yell his justification.

Abruptly, the sight ahead warped dramatically.

The prior boundless realm and Cave-Heavens faded away. Suddenly confronting him stood a towering, spire-shaped grand palace.

His stature had dwindled dozens of times over, reduced to ant size.

Every step before the palace loomed like jagged peaks.

The colossal, imposing architectures dominated his field of view, momentarily seizing Sun Luyuan’s breath.

Even more incomprehensible, all traces of his cultivation had vanished inexplicably.

He now matched an average mortal precisely.

“An illusion?”

Sun Luyuan steadied his breathing and focused intently, purging stray notions from his thoughts.

After an extended period, tranquility returned as he lifted his gaze anew.

The majestic palace endured unchanged in his sight.

Furthermore…

With growing alarm, Sun Luyuan realized his form had shrunken even tinier.

“Is this… a formation?”

The idea raced through Sun Luyuan’s mind. He promptly drew forth Ji Hongdao’s formation-breaking disc yet again.

True enough, a fierce white radiance burst from the formation-breaking disc.

It pulsed rapidly while auto-computing the method to shatter the array ahead.

While Sun Luyuan anticipated eagerly, the disc’s pulses intensified ceaselessly.

At last, overwhelmed beyond tolerance, fissures spiderwebbed over its surface.

Then, with a thunderous blast, it detonated utterly, leaving no remnants.

Sun Luyuan remained rooted, stupefied.

During the loan of this formation-breaking disc, Ji Hongdao had omitted any hint of such an outcome.

Nevertheless, Sun Luyuan swiftly rallied.

This formation’s profound complexity exceeded the disc’s capacity by far.

“Very well, brute force will have to suffice.”

He paused a moment more. Aside from himself, the formation showed no further shifts.

Inhaling deeply, a blood-red specter arose above Sun Luyuan’s crown.

A Dao Integration cultivator’s supreme art stemmed from the Spirit of Heaven and Earth they had fused.

The one Sun Luyuan had assimilated was titled [Blood Shadow].

The moment Blood Shadow emerged, Sun Luyuan’s flesh appeared to melt away beneath it, dissolving bizarrely to a mere husk.

Seamlessly, it blended into the sanguine mass.

Like rippling streams, the blood surged defiantly up the towering stairwell of the formation.

Everywhere the crimson liquid passed, the stone hissed in erosion, etching blackened scars.

Swiftly, however, the palace steps mended themselves.

The blood flow accelerated wildly, morphing into a scarlet beam that bypassed the steps entirely, hurtling straight for the palace summit.

Yet the palace itself began to alter correspondingly.

Endless stairs sprouted ceaselessly by themselves, stretching infinitely in every direction with no limit in sight.

Right at the moment when both parties hit a deadlock, the rampaging crimson shadow abruptly detonated.

It morphed into a vast shower of blood rain filling the sky. Harnessing the explosive scattering force, it gave up its relentless upward push and instead bolted away in all directions through the void.

Those blood droplets resembled blistering hot magma, fierce enough to scorch even the fabric of space.

Wherever they splattered, breaches tore open one after another across the formation's space.

The majestic palace vista quivered faintly.

As the illusory image slowly disintegrated, Sun Luyuan's transformed blood liquid gradually slipped away through these rifts.

“I escaped!”

A torrent of ecstatic joy flooded Sun Luyuan's heart.

Murderous rage boiled inside him, itching to confront the scheming youth who had guided him before. Yet the voice drilling into his ears plunged him into bone-chilling dread, like tumbling into an icy abyss.

“It was actually broken?”

“Master is going to punish me now. I worked hard on it for more than half a year, yet I couldn’t even trap a mere Dao Integration cultivator…”

The sinister youth's deeply irritated tone carried no hint of deception.

“What does this mean? Was that terrifying formation just now arranged by that youth? Not the protective grand formation of the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi?”

Sun Luyuan was utterly convinced he'd misheard.

“What does ‘worked hard for more than half a year’ mean? Could it be that he is still a beginner? A formation that even the formation-breaking disc could not find flaws in after deducing to its limit is the result of just half a year of his work?”

Sun Luyuan stood frozen in shock.

“Your formation is actually quite good. It is just that your strength is still too low. When he fully unleashed that blood fire, I estimate that even a Dao Integration cultivator from the Xuanhuang Realm would not be able to withstand it head-on. It is only natural that your formation could not endure it.”

“Focus on your cultivation. In the Xuanhuang Realm, realm still reigns supreme. Strange beasts, strange abilities, and formations are all merely supplementary.”

A soft feminine voice rang out beside the youth.

“Understood, Senior Hundred Flowers.” The youth answered in a somewhat crestfallen manner.

Within the dazzling golden radiance, Sun Luyuan felt a piercing gaze lock onto him.

The overwhelming aura from that presence chilled him to his core, as if he'd plunged into a frozen cavern.

“This is…”

“A Longevity Immortal cultivator?”

Sun Luyuan's mind blanked out entirely.

He never imagined that mere moments after setting foot in the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi, he'd cross paths with a Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

“Hundred Flowers? What kind of Dao is that? Why have I never heard of it before?”

“You are from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance? What is your purpose in coming to our Holy Dynasty?” Daoist Hundred Flowers questioned calmly.

Invisible golden light had already shrouded Sun Luyuan completely.

With a single flicker of her will, she could crystallize this Dao Integration cultivator from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance into fragile colored glass and shatter him effortlessly.

After all, the massive source power essence expended hadn't been squandered in vain.
