Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 304: Vein Heart

"It’s just a small, barren planet. I don’t think my lord has heard of it before."

Dong Tian Di nodded. The realm is filled with countless small planets; it’s impossible for him to know all of them.

"Just keep an eye on him for now. The auction will start soon, and we’ll handle him in our own way," Dong Tian Di said indifferently. Since they had pinpointed Liang’s location, escaping would be difficult for him.

Liang frowned, the frustration evident on his face. "It’s been three days, and I still can’t catch it."

He knew he had to come up with another method; this was no ordinary task.

During these three days, Liang had dismissed the idea of it being a mere wonder of heaven and earth.

He was now certain that it was the Heart of the Heavenly Earth, one of the Primordial Beginning Vein fragments. His confidence stemmed from the noticeable increase in power of the chaos rune . It wasn’t just a typical power boost from absorbing runes—it was some kind of evolution.

Only one thing could have such a miraculous effect: Primordial Chaos Qi.

The chose rune is probably absorbing the remnant power of the vein heart

Liang needed a new strategy. He had already sealed the entire world to prevent the Heart from escaping. The Vein Heart would only be able to navigate within this world, or it would have fled long ago.

"Can I seal the earth veins themselves? If I can somehow seal them and create a passage that would trap the Vein Heart, I should be able to catch it."

This was easier said than done. The earth vein passages that the Heart was maneuvering through were illusory, formed from purely spiritual energy. How could he manipulate something so intangible?

Suddenly, an idea sparked in Liang’s mind. "Spirit Genesis Rune," he thought. "With some effort, I could emit it. Controlling the spiritual energy to form a passage should be possible."

But sealing it? That was the real conundrum.

Liang’s expression grew troubled. An idea occurred to him, but it would be devastating one.

He knew that someone had previously sealed the spiritual qi by sealing the outer layers of earth veins. However, the spiritual qi still lingered. Its superficial nature meant that it was easy to break such a seal, and even if left untouched, it would dissipate after five hundred years or so.

But what if the spiritual qi was dried up for real? Without the spiritual energy, the passages should crumble, right?

Still, this drastic measure would mean cutting off the cultivation path in this world forever. The cost was unimaginable.

"Cultivation?" Liang’s lips curved into a strange smile. "Cultivators bring chaos and destruction. Ending the cultivation path on this planet should bring in an era of prosperity for the mortal, It’s a virtue I wouldn’t mind having."

With these thoughts in mind, Liang immediately took action. The Chaos Rune ceased its relentless chase and instead redirected its focus toward another earth vein.

Sensing it was no longer pursued, the vein heart remained in place, but the Chaos Rune, now serpentine in form, began to absorb everything in its path. Spiritual Qi from across the planet converged toward it, drawn like moths to a flame.

The process was surprisingly smooth and calm. Within a week, nearly all the spiritual Qi within the earth veins had been siphoned off, leaving only a small amount around the still-trapped vein heart.

Why didn’t it absorb everything?

Although the vein heart appeared trapped, it retained a modicum of freedom. If pushed to desperation, Liang couldn’t predict its reaction.

"The best course of action now is to create a spiritual passage to a location where I can plant a Heavenly Essence Sealing Formation," Liang mused.

The Heavenly Essence Sealing Formation, a formidable seventh-order formation, possessed the capability to seal spiritual beings. Though the vein heart seemed ethereal, it was, in fact, a spiritual entity.

After some contemplation, Liang began setting up the formation. It was an intricate and laborious process stretching over seven days. Each rune and glyph required meticulous placement to ensure the formation’s efficacy.

As he worked, Liang couldn’t help but think about his previous accomplishments. "Since achieving the divine level, my formation skills have improved exponentially."

Normally, a formation of this complexity would have required at least two months for Liang to complete.

"Well, it’s probably not just due to the breakthrough," Liang chuckled, contemplating the transformation he had undergone. The Primordial Runic Ancestor had not only enhanced his body and bloodline but had also cleansed his soul. All of these factors must have significantly contributed to his rapid progress.

"Since the formation is ready, let’s proceed to the next step," Liang murmured. With a graceful wave of his hand, the Spirit Genesis Rune transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the earth below.

Moments later, the rune re-emerged and dissolved back into Liang’s hand.

Scanning the area around the formation, Liang’s eyes glimmered with excitement. The newly created spiritual passages seemed identical to natural ones. Had Liang not been the creator, he would have mistaken them for genuine earth vein passages.

"Now for the final step," Liang declared solemnly.

Suddenly, the Chaos Rune, previously stationed elsewhere, materialized near the heart vein.

Sensing danger, the heart vein bolted towards the nearby passage. However, the Chaos Rune pursued it with uncanny speed, faster than before, compelling the vein heart to hasten its pace, heedless of its destination.

Abruptly, the heart vein halted. It began to flicker uncertainly, sensing something amiss in this unfamiliar corridor. An approaching sense of doom emanated from the Chaos Rune, causing the heart vein to dim. If it were a sentient being, it would be cursing and gnashing its teeth in sheer frustration.

Now only a mile away, the Chaos Rune continued to close in. The vein heart sensed its Primordial True Chaos Qi being drawn towards the rune.

Unable to endure the threat any longer, the heart vein took the unfamiliar path, despite its uncertainty about where it might lead.

Reluctantly entering the unfamiliar spiritual passage, it began to feel an oppressive force closing in around it. The passage, though crafted to mimic the natural earth vein passages, held an eerie, unnatural energy that made the vein heart uneasy. It flickered and pulsed as if trying to resist the pull, but the relentless chase of the Chaos Rune left it with no other choice.

The moment the vein heart fully entered the passage, the first signs of resistance became evident.

The entire planet began to shudder slightly, and tremors rippled through the ground. Above, the sky darkened, and ominous clouds gathered, as if the heavens themselves were reacting to the impending event. Bolts of lightning streaked across the sky, and thunder roared, echoing the struggles within the earth.

"As expected, it still has alternative methods." Liang watched intently, knowing that this was a critical moment.

He could feel the immense energy building up within the passage, an energy that was both chaotic and primordial. The Chaos Rune, with its serpent-like form, coiled around the entrance of the passage, pulsating with power as it continued to draw the Primordial True Chaos Qi from the vein heart.

The vein heart, now fully aware of the trap it had walked into, began to resist with all its might. It sent out waves of spiritual energy, attempting to break free from the confines of the passage. Each wave caused the ground to quake more violently, and fissures began to form on the planet’s surface. The spiritual energy it emitted clashed with the Chaos Rune, creating bursts of radiant light that shot up from the ground like volcanic eruptions.

Liang remained focused, his hands moving in intricate patterns as he activated the Heavenly Essence Sealing Formation. A faint glow began to emanate from the ground, spreading out in intricate patterns that seemed to weave through the fabric of the world itself.

Massive column of light shot up from the ground, piercing through the darkened sky. The light was so intense that it could be seen from space. The column of light surrounded the passage, forming a barrier that began to close in on the vein heart.

The vein heart, now fully aware of its dire situation, unleashed a desperate surge of energy. The ground erupted in multiple places, geysers of spiritual energy shooting up into the sky. The planet’s atmosphere became charged with energy, creating auroras that danced across the sky in vibrant colors. The heavens responded with a torrential downpour, as if the world was crying out in response to the vein heart’s agony.

Despite its desperate efforts, the vein heart found itself unable to break free from the combined might of the Chaos Rune and the Heavenly Essence Sealing Formation. The barrier of light tightened around it, and the formation’s intricate patterns began to glow brighter, converging on the vein heart.

Liang’s expression turned grim. He knew that this was the moment of truth. With a final gesture, he activated the core of the formation.

The patterns of light converged into a single point, creating a vortex that began to draw in the vein heart.
