In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 453 I'm sorry to disappoint you, you female Tong!

"Is Chu Jiang the one who made that move in the Blue Star Federation, the move by the Boundless Tribulation Venerable?"

"And it wasn't just about switching people; they also directly handed over the entire branch of the Primordial Chaos Dao to Shadow?"

Wu Luo Zhenjun's expression changed drastically.

"So, we've been exposed?"

"Yes, we've been exposed."

Su Yuan nodded helplessly.

The reason why I was able to go undetected under the nose of the Boundless Calamity Venerable's clone last time was because that clone did not contain much Primordial Dao, and was just a powerful shadow.

Now, with Chu Jiang's Hunyuan Dao overwhelming him with absolute superiority, exposure has become inevitable!
Because it was too late to turn back, Su Yuan and Su Youli no longer communicated through telepathy, but rather their last few words were heard directly by everyone present.

Xinghe Tianjun, Chen Nuoyi, and Qi Hanyue all changed their expressions and looked at Chu Jiang warily.

The Taixu Heavenly Lord, who had been so kind just moments before, slowly curled his lips into a strange smile.

"We were originally planning to perform a little longer, but someone was so clueless and couldn't wait to expose the truth."

"Hehe, this kind of game isn't very fun."

Chu Jiang's tone gradually turned sinister, his gaze like that of a venomous snake falling on Su Yuan, and he said coldly:
"Unexpectedly, after an era, a new cultivator has walked on the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, and it seems that he has even kept it from the main body."

"However, you have been discovered after all. A threat like you should be eliminated as soon as possible."

Hearing these chilling words, Su Yuan took a deep breath, his heart heavy.

Although he had already guessed that he would be exposed one day when he took on the important task of detecting whether the Ten Heavenly Kings had been replaced, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of dread when he was actually exposed.

After all, once this Abyss Shadow reaches the ears of the main body, then the Boundless Calamity Venerable will definitely spare no effort to deal with him.

Not only him, but the flames of war might ignite the entire Blue Star Federation.

This is the risk of confronting the Celestial Tribulation.

Just then, a figure dressed in a moon-white dress suddenly stepped forward, and the voice of the Star River Heavenly Lord rang out, its tone as cold as a dead star:
"You monster created by the Boundless Calamity Venerable, how dare you assassinate my friend! You must pay the price!"

"I will kill you right here! I will never let you hurt my daughter's friend!"

Hearing Xinghe Tianjun's cold voice, Su Yuan's heavy heart suddenly felt much lighter, and he gained a great sense of security!

In such a crucial matter as confronting foreign enemies, Senior Qi doesn't seem like the type to falter!

Although the relative strengths of the Ten Heavenly Lords are unclear, judging from the power displayed by the Star River Heavenly Lord when he attacked from afar while escaping the Immortal Realm, this pink-haired fairy's strength should be significantly greater than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Keep it up! You absolutely have to take down that damned shadow!
“Qi Anong, your strength ranks second among the Ten Heavenly Monarchs. If you were to combine it with the Star River Dao Sect’s immortal treasure, the ‘Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array,’ you could indeed kill me. I wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.”

Faced with the oppressive aura of the Star River Heavenly Lord, Chu Jiang's shadow acknowledged the power of the woman before him.

But then, without any haste, he said:
"But that's only based on the premise that I'm isolated and helpless. I've been laying out my plans in the Blue Star Federation for so long as Chu Jiang, how could I not have prepared enough trump cards?"

"For example... the celestial treasure whose influence extends throughout the entire Federation, the Illusionary Realm of the Void."

As he spoke, Chu Jiang's shadow flipped his hand, and under the shocked and furious gaze of Xinghe Tianjun, a magnificent phantom of a world appeared in his palm.

From that tiny, illusory world, one could vaguely see crowds of people playing within it.

This world is not the real world, but an illusionary world created by the Realm of Illusion.

But... the illusion is fake, but the people playing in it are real. They are federal citizens who have purchased the Taixu Illusion Sect's entry pods to enter the illusion, either to experience virtual reality games or to undergo rigorous training.

"Are you trying to kidnap all the online users of the Illusionary Realm in the Federation to threaten us?" Wu Luo Zhenjun asked coldly.

Chu Jiang smiled faintly:

"Isn't it obvious?"

"I can give you three choices."

"First, they want me to leave with the Taixu Illusionary Realm; second, they want to exchange Su Yuanlai for control of the Taixu Illusionary Realm; and third, they want to forcibly kill me, bearing the infamy of causing the deaths of millions of people."

"Of course, even if you disregard everything, you may not be able to kill me. My trump card is not just the Illusionary Realm, but also a branch of the Primordial Chaos Path."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment.

Because everyone knows that none of the three options can be chosen.

Releasing Chu Jiang would mean handing over Su Yuan's information about the Primordial Chaos to the Boundless Tribulation Venerable.

If they use Su Yuan to exchange for the lives of millions of people, Su Yuan will die, and their only trump card against the Immortal Tribulation will be lost.

As for the third option, there's no need to even consider it.

Which would you choose: chocolate that tastes like poop or poop that tastes like chocolate?
After careful consideration, releasing Chu Jiang temporarily turned out to be the most acceptable option.

After all, it will take time for the opponent to return to its original form. During this period, they can do their best to prepare for the defense against the Boundless Calamity Venerable.

However, with such hasty preparations, the probability of the Blue Star Federation being completely annihilated is probably over 90%.

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out on the field.

“I think there is a fourth option: the users of the Illusionary Realm will not die, Su Yuan will not die, and you cannot escape.”

The moment the sound rang out, everyone on Su Yuan's side, including Chu Jiang's shadow, was drawn to it.

They looked in the direction the sound came from and finally focused their attention on the Moon-Slaying Pearl that Su Yuan was wearing on his wrist.

The next instant, without Su Yuan needing to open the Tribulation Moon Space, a figure walked out from the Tribulation Moon Pearl.

The newcomer was dressed in a nightclub style, so handsome that it was hard to tell if he was male or female.

It was Chu Lanxi.

The moment Xinghe Tianjun saw Chu Lanxi, his beautiful eyes widened slightly:

"You wouldn't happen to be Chu Jiang, would you? When did you make your character model so handsome?"

Chu Lanxi glanced at her old friend and chuckled:

"The gender is decided, it's male. Aren't you disappointed, you female Tong!"

Star River Heavenly Lord's face stiffened, and he cursed:
"You're too narcissistic. Even if you eventually become a woman, I still won't be interested in you. My heart already belongs to You Li, and I will never experience joy or sorrow again in this life."

She paused, then asked curiously:
"How did you survive? I heard that the Shadow of the Abyss can only exist for a long time after devouring its own body?"

Chu Lanxi smiled faintly:
"That's true, and I was indeed devoured, from body to soul."

"However, the Path of Illusion is the most mysterious path in the world. Others cultivate the false to become the real, but I cultivate the real to become the false."

"Under the power of the Illusionary Path, I promptly fabricated a fake True Spirit and let it suffer in my place, while my real True Spirit faked its death and escaped, changing into a new body to slowly accumulate power."

"Look, I've even become a Holy Son of the Taixu Illusion Sect."
