Chapter 1714

In the Olden Antiquity Era, a million years earlier, Limitless Demon Venerable attacked Heavenly Court and swept through it unhindered, inflicting huge losses and deaths on its Gu Immortals. Central Heaven Gate broke into shrapnel, and Sun Palace and Five Deity Hall were thin as paper. At the Central Great Hall, Star Constellation’s will activated Star Constellation Immortal Venerable’s nine-nine consecutive unceasing formation. Limitless Demon Venerable escaped only after destroying a hundred formations. ^{ch. 1714}

Below Heaven Overseeing Tower, Limitless Demon Venerable told Star Constellation’s will that rank nine venerables are invincible and only other venerables can deal with them. She opened a path to the tower, saying that since she could not stop him she would accompany him to see fate Gu, and they went up together. He left the tower without destroying fate Gu. Nobody knew what was said inside. ^{ch. 1714}

Still bent on fighting, he told her to use every method she had left. In the bloody battle that followed, countless Heavenly Court Gu Immortals died, and Forgotten Dao Lake turned blood red. He asked the name of the lake, found it fitting, and spared it. ^{ch. 1714}

Invited by Star Constellation’s will to tour Heavenly Court, he asked whether she feared he would destroy it. She answered that master’s supreme methods would activate in a fatal crisis, and that even a destroyed Court would be rebuilt by a new generation. After a long silence, he nodded that she was right. ^{ch. 1714}

On Star Zone Mountain he found a pavilion at the peak, a rank eight Immortal Gu House that she named Imperfection Regret Pavilion. Her arrangement also included Forgotten Dao Lake and the pavilion. Affected by her, his fighting spirit fell for a moment, then returned. He attacked no more, said they were both born too early for the great era a million years later, and proposed chess, which she accepted. ^{ch. 1714}

After days of chess with her in the pavilion, he left, her will vanished, and the pavilion became a forbidden area. Gu Immortals at times saw two vague figures there who resembled both venerables. Most who saw them died days later, while the lucky few felt an absurd increase in strength. Years later, Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable came to remove this threat but shook his head and left. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, touring Heavenly Court, only looked at the pavilion without ascending the mountain. ^{ch. 1714}

Recalling these records, Duke Long concludes Giant Sun Immortal Venerable must have noticed something, since Bing Sai Chuan can mobilize the power Limitless Demon Venerable left behind. Duke Long cannot stop Bing Sai Chuan, who emits a profound aura that vanishes. At the peak of Star Zone Mountain, two shadows playing chess appear in the empty pavilion. Star Constellation asks if the person Limitless awaits has come, and he answers not yet, but he must help a man from his homeland who inherited one of his true inheritances. Limitless Demon Venerable flicks a chess piece, and the image fades. ^{ch. 1714}

The piece lands on Duke Long almost instantly, and he falls from the air. Its power becomes silvery chains that tie him up and seal all his Gu worms by stabbing into his phantom aperture. He cannot move, because the chains cancel any strength he uses against them, and this is a rank nine immortal killer move. His dragon qi disperses, and Calamity Luck Altar and Bing Sai Chuan are free. Bing Sai Chuan’s strongest killer move is blocked by the chains, and Duke Long is unharmed. Bing Sai Chuan realizes the chains also protect Duke Long, so he gives up killing him and smashes the Central Great Hall to bits with Calamity Luck Altar. Fairy Zi Wei escapes rapidly with Old Man Zheng Yuan. ^{ch. 1714}
