Having just overcome a terrifying True Immortal Thunder Tribulation, Jiang Fan finds himself facing the greedy True Immortal Jiang Weidong. Driven by dwindling lifespan and the corrupting influence of the Immortal Realm's decay, Jiang Weidong resolves to kill Jiang Fan and seize his treasures, unleashing his powerful Immortal Technique, the Qingming Wind Wing Slash.

The wind blades surged like a tide, unstoppable, and in the heavens and earth, only this one cyan slash of annihilation remained, blasting towards Jiang Fan in an instant!

"Good timing."

Jiang Fan looked calmly at this uninvited guest; he had already noticed this True Immortal of the human race.

Although the other party was a presence at the level of True Immortal Perfection, he felt no threat from him.

It was like an ant attempting to assassinate an elephant.

However, it was a convenient opportunity to test the power of his lifebound Immortal Technique.

"Ten Thousand Lives Shield of Ruin!"

In an instant, centered around him, a layer of vast and heavy fate light screen unfurled with a thundering roar.

It was neither a Spiritual Qi Barrier nor a Magical Treasure armor, but an invisible giant shield woven from the fine fate marks, ethereal life silks, and fluctuating life shadows of billions of beings. The shield’s surface shimmered with flowing light, with the vague shadows of myriad beings, shrouded in a layer of silent abyssal Returning Ruins black mist, massive, vast, and unshakeable.

Boom——!!

A deafening explosion resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The peerlessly ferocious Cyan Underworld Wing Slash struck fiercely upon the Ten Thousand Lives Shield of Ruin!

The anticipated shattering of the flesh and the breaking of life orbits did not occur.

The wind blade edge, capable of slicing through Immortal Venerables and severing life paths, upon colliding with the shield, was diverted and neutralized layer by layer by the marks of myriad beings. The fearsome slash force was infinitely dismantled, diluted, and dissipated into the vast River of Destiny, vanishing into the void.

Wind blades shattered, the energy dissipated, and fierce evil spirits dissolved.

All the slashing force targeting the Life Chart, Divine Soul, and vitality, upon touching the Returning Ruins barrier, was slowly devoured and dissolved by the force of silent void, unable to even slightly affect Jiang Fan.

The overwhelming cyan light scattered away.

Jiang Weidong’s pupils contracted abruptly, filled with disbelief.

His Cyan Underworld Wing Slash, which he poured all his cultivation into as a sure-kill strike, couldn’t even shake the seemingly thin fate light shield in front of Jiang Fan.

"How is this possible? What on earth is this Immortal Technique?"

"My attack had no effect at all, are you kidding me."

Jiang Weidong was utterly confused, finding it beyond belief.

In the past, he didn’t know how many enemies he had killed with this Immortal Technique of his own.

Even a True Immortal of the same level would likely struggle to withstand his Immortal Technique.

But now, facing this newly ascended True Immortal, the opponent remained unscathed.

It was as if his attack had fallen into the sea, completely devoured by the endless ocean.

Leaving only ripples behind; it was truly unbelievable, even beyond his imagination.

"This defensive Immortal Technique is indeed formidable."

Jiang Fan stood within the Ten Thousand Lives Shield of Ruin, his figure unharmed, stable as a rock.

The myriad life shadows on the shield surface continued to flow, the silence of the Returning Ruins lingering, as if the world-destroying strike just now had never occurred.

Although the enemy’s attack was terrifying, it was completely offset by his Immortal Technique.

Not only was it transferred into the void, but it was also dispersed among countless beings.

It was akin to a ton of attack power being evenly distributed among billions of beings, for whom it was nothing more than a gentle breeze, not worth mentioning.

"Run, quickly run."

At this moment, Jiang Weidong was utterly terrified, with the initial greed replaced by endless fear.

He knew his most powerful Immortal Technique could do nothing to the opponent.

Continuing like this would lead to his certain death.

The newly ascended True Immortal before him was terrifying, and he was simply no match for him.

"Want to run? Too late."

Jiang Fan’s eyes revealed a trace of cold light. For this enemy who wanted to kill him, he naturally wouldn’t show any mercy.

He condensed a spell at his fingertips, and the vast immortal power within him quietly surged. An ink-dark blood-red imprint emerged at the center of his brow, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became sinister and heavy. The pressure of the Path of Destiny swept in all directions, causing even the void to tremble slightly.

In the next moment, the blood-red imprint at his brow suddenly expanded into a massive ink-black blood-red seal about ten feet in size, entwined with dense tribulation mist. Its distorted patterns resembled skeletal life lines, and broken disaster runes flowed across its surface. It was the pinnacle of life-path killing immortal techniques—Life-taking God-devouring Seal.

In an instant of activation, the sky flipped, and dark clouds gathered. The light of destiny surrounding Jiang Weidong suddenly dimmed, and the life star above his head trembled slightly. Boundless tribulation thunder roared in his ears, and dense black strands of karma emerged around him, entwining his divine soul and Dantian Life Core.

The invisible power of the seal spanned space, ignoring the hastily erected wind-defense barrier of Jiang Weidong, targeting his very core life soul source.

"Damn, how does this guy know a second immortal technique?"

"Isn’t he just newly ascended to True Immortal? How did he manage this?"

Jiang Weidong’s face changed drastically, filled with astonishment. He never expected that Jiang Fan would not only use the Ten Thousand Lives Shield of Ruin to withstand his killing blow but could also unleash such a domineering immortal technique.

He hastily flapped his wings, the Azure Wind Wings spreading again, surrounding him with a soaring azure storm, attempting to shred the entangling karma strands and resist the pressure of the Life-taking God-devouring Seal, but it was all in vain.

"Spare my life, spare my life!"

"I have many treasures, and they can all be yours."

Jiang Weidong screamed, expending all his immortal yuan to activate defensive divine powers. Wind blades intertwined to form shields, divine soul jade armor reinforced his body, but these conventional defenses were like paper in front of the print spell of the Path of Destiny.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan’s gaze remained indifferent, neither happy nor sad. He pressed lightly with his fingertips and shouted, "Seal drop, tribulation rise, soul extinguish!"

The massive Life-taking God-devouring Seal, carrying the destruction force of tribulation evil spirits, smashed towards Jiang Weidong.

Before the seal even reached him, the wind barrier around Jiang Weidong shattered inch by inch. The azure jade light on the Azure Wind Wings quickly dimmed, feather blades crumbled, and even his proud Wind Dao was suppressed completely by the pressure of the tribulation seal, unable to operate in the slightest.

The first layer of tribulation seal locked his destiny, instantly branding Jiang Weidong’s fate.

His destiny plummeted, and his once exceptional life chart was forcibly suppressed, fortune severed, progress on the Dao path halted. His cultivation was shackled invisibly, his immortal yuan unable to flow normally, meridians aching, blood and qi surging.

The second layer of myriad tribulations backlash, Jiang Weidong’s accumulated evil karma and cultivation woes, life and death tribulation evil spirits, were forcibly condensed, stacked, and exploded by the imprint pattern.

Previously scattered across long years, thunder tribulation, heart demon tribulation, and blood calamity converged into a torrent, karmic fire devouring his divine soul, tribulation wind tearing his divine thought, heart demons proliferating, Dao heart shattering instantly.

His face twisted in pain, eyes bloodshot, consciousness began to scatter, mouth constantly unleashing grief-stricken screams, veins bulging, divine soul fiercely struggling in tribulation fire.

The third layer of god-devouring fate, the devouring law hidden within the Life-taking God-devouring Seal, began to ravenously consume Jiang Weidong’s divine soul source, life force essence, and lifespan foundation.

His figure visibly withered as his divine thought dwindled, divine soul source continually decayed, the Azure Wind Wings shattered completely, and the azure wind Dao qi around him dissipated entirely.

The devoured life force and divine essence flowed back through the imprint into Jiang Fan, transforming into nourishment for Jiang Fan’s life Dao cultivation, intensifying the glow of destiny around him.

"Damn, I’ll take you down with me."

Jiang Weidong expended his last shred of consciousness, attempting to self-detonate his immortal yuan for mutual destruction, but the seal had long locked his life core, rendering the immortal yuan immobile.

He watched helplessly as his destiny dispersed, Dao foundation decayed, divine soul perished, feeling his existence being devoured by the seal from the roots, a despair far more painful than physical death.

The final scream dissipated in the heavens and earth, Jiang Weidong’s figure lost all vitality, divine soul burned to ashes by tribulation fire, life core gnawed into nothingness by the imprint pattern, leaving not even a trace of reincarnation, life chart thoroughly shattered, dissolved completely by the tribulation evil force of the Life-taking God-devouring Seal, turning into a wisp of emptiness in the world.

"That’s right, this also provides an opportunity."

"Just right to replace this guy’s identity and infiltrate the Immortal Realm."

At this moment, Jiang Fan’s heart moved.

He immediately recalled the earlier hint from destiny, saying he would encounter a True Immortal, this being his fortuitous opportunity.

Now it seemed this was truly not a death tribulation but an opportunity.

This was destiny guiding him to replace the other’s identity.

Because without this person, hiding in the Immortal Realm would be difficult for him.

But once he replaced this True Immortal’s existence, he would become a native immortal of the Immortal Realm.

No one would know he ascended from the Mortal World.

He felt that if he supplanted the other’s identity,

not only avoiding various death tribulations but also avoiding the pursuit of the long-life Immortal Race, which was quite advantageous.
