Eternal Tale

Chapter 292: The Death of Long Guan

Yu Jingxin felt the world spin as the lights of teleportation formations flashed past him, spanning thousands of miles in an instant. He glimpsed a large black ox continuously activating these formations, as if they had been meticulously prepared over many years.

His eyes narrowed in realization—he had been scheming against them all these years, yet they had also been preparing. They were not afraid.

The overwhelming pressure of the Five Elements continued to suppress his primordial spirit, and his expression grew increasingly pained. Although he had reached the Deity Transformation stage, it was too late for regrets.

Dark clouds shrouded the Black Sea as they arrived on an abandoned mining island in the Forbidden Sea. Three figures stood facing each other. Yu Jingxin's expression was grim—he was up against two Deity Transformation cultivators.

As the suppressive force of the Forbidden Sea surged, Yu Jingxin raised his right hand, summoning a barrier. Mysterious symbols floated around him—these were the Yu family's secret techniques, capable of resisting the Forbidden Sea’s will for an hour. He glanced aside and noticed a tombstone: *Long Guan's Grave*.

Brother Ox stepped forward, its cold breath frosty as it locked eyes with Yu Jingxin, exuding murderous intent. This was the same person who had once tried to kill them and steal their treasures. Over the past few months, Brother Ox and Xiao Chi had set up formations along the way, ensuring everything was foolproof. The teleportation formation alone wouldn’t be enough to contain this Deity Transformation cultivator.

Now, Xiao Chi had activated the ancient warships they had long prepared, all to ensure Yu Jingxin’s total annihilation. The entire island became a killing array, sealing the heavens and locking the earth. Even a primordial spirit couldn’t escape. Spiritual pressure filled the area—this was their battleground, and whoever entered would perish.

Yu Jingxin glanced at the two figures clad in black artifacts and smiled. “No wonder you Forbidden Sea cultivators are so feared. You’ve surpassed my expectations.”

Countless questions flooded his mind. How had they crossed the Hanging Heaven’s Gate? Where did they obtain the Five Elements-powered teleportation formation? And what was the significance of that tombstone?

Even with his Deity Transformation experience, Yu Jingxin felt outmatched. These cultivators possessed secrets unimaginable in the cultivation world.

“Long Guan, this will be your burial ground,” he muttered.

Chen Xun smirked as his primordial spirits emerged, and terrifying figures materialized. Brother Ox’s body glowed with divine light as silhouettes formed. The energy of the Five Elements surged violently.

Twelve figures positioned themselves around Yu Jingxin, each exuding a terrifying Deity Transformation stage aura, surrounding him from all directions—no escape above, no retreat below.

Yu Jingxin’s expression grew serious. The mysterious patterns before him flickered, then solidified, releasing a tremendous aura that filled the area. He sensed an unknown pressure—these were not spiritual energy cultivators but wielders of the Five Elements.

Realizing he couldn’t discern their true strength, Yu Jingxin summoned the mysterious pattern. The island echoed with the thunderous waves of power as an invisible ripple descended from the sky, targeting the twelve figures. The figures responded simultaneously, shattering the ripple, yet offering no resistance.

The ripple transformed into countless tiny vortices, enveloping the twelve figures and swallowing them whole. Yu Jingxin remained calm, his expression unchanging. “Unify the Thousand Weights!”

With his command, the pattern expanded, and sharp lights flashed as beams of white light condensed in the air, sweeping across the island. The overwhelming force enveloped the area, emitting a terrifying aura.

Above, a vast expanse of white light crashed down, each ray seemingly weighing a thousand tons, far beyond what any cultivator could withstand.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Yu Jingxin’s hair whipped wildly as he unleashed his power, shaking the island. The Black Sea roared, thunderous explosions echoing. But despite his efforts, he couldn’t detect his enemies’ locations—their auras had vanished entirely.

Suddenly, the island’s sky darkened, and the winds howled as overwhelming pressure locked onto Yu Jingxin. His expression changed drastically; it felt like he was at the bottom of a deep ocean.

“No!” Yu Jingxin roared, turning sharply as twelve figures streaked through the sky, facing the white light with no hesitation. They attacked in unison, causing the island to tremble violently.

In the next moment, black pillars of light pierced the sky, enveloping the island like descending deities. Facing twelve adversaries, Yu Jingxin’s barrier shattered inch by inch.

Laughing bitterly, he realized there was no escape—every path was sealed. Trapped, he resolved to fight fiercely until the end.

“Brother Chen, do you dare to duel me one-on-one?”

“Old Ox, gang up!”

“Moo!”

Chen Xun and Brother Ox ignored him entirely, uninterested in proving themselves through single combat. They unleashed the Extinguishing Spirit Storm, forcing Yu Jingxin to reveal all his trump cards.

The island quaked as the battle intensified. Xiao Chi, watching from the shore, was stunned as more ancient warships converged—all because he had taken a ring with Brother Ox’s help. Despite Yu Jingxin’s tricks, he remained powerless against the two.

The battle was swift and decisive—utter domination. Twelve massive fist shadows surged like tidal waves, each punch collapsing the heavens and earth. The island split, and a surge of Five Elements energy threatened to tear everything apart.

Yu Jingxin’s face twisted as he summoned the Black Sea’s power to form a giant hand for defense. But the fist shadows shattered his life-bound treasure, sending him flying as he spat blood.

The Extinguishing Spirit Storm descended, and Yu Jingxin screamed as his primordial spirit was torn apart. His robes shredded, his hair disheveled, he collapsed in front of the tombstone.

Surrounded by twelve Deity Transformation stage Five Elements cultivators, Yu Jingxin’s defeat was inevitable. His life force faded as the Extinguishing Spirit Storm obliterated his primordial spirit. There was no hope for survival.
