Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Within the Great Dao River, the chaotic energy transformed into flowing water surged silently, yet a figure moved against the current.

The raging and turbulent Great Dao River could shatter everything, but after this figure approached, the Great Dao River, which should have been turbulent, instantly calmed down. All matter, energy, and space seemed to stagnate, going from active to still.

If Su Jie and others, who had been to the Tomb of the Immortals, were here, they would surely recognize this figure as the resurrected immortal corpse, or more precisely, the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor didn't know how long he had been walking. He seemed to be wandering aimlessly within the Great Dao River until he arrived at a vast, empty section of the Great Dao River.

The Emperor, who had been walking, suddenly stopped and stood there in a daze, as if he had fallen asleep or was lost in some kind of memory. His body instinctively raised his right hand.

Suddenly, the great river ahead cracked open, piercing through the mortal world.

Rumble!
Between reality and the grand river of history, an incomparably vast and bizarre world emerges.

The emperor's eyes were dazed, and his body, driven by instinct, automatically walked inside.

Click!

As the Human Emperor stepped in, this bizarre and fantastical world immediately reacted violently, as if it were very unwelcoming to the Human Emperor's arrival and instinctively resisted his entry.

In an instant, a beam of celestial light pierced through billions of miles of space, continuously spreading towards the entire Great Dao River.

Upon closer inspection, this celestial light is entirely composed of countless tiny fundamental laws of the Great Dao, possessing the terrifying power to annihilate all life.

However, although the Human Emperor was just a corpse, even his physical instincts were incredibly powerful. The celestial light that covered him only forced him back a few steps.

Impacted by the celestial light, the Human Emperor's eyes suddenly regained some clarity: "Human Emperor Immortal Corpse, I have... succeeded. And where is this place?"

However, this clarity did not last long. Soon, as the divine light weakened, the clarity and rationality in the Emperor's eyes gradually dissipated. After a brief struggle, his eyes returned to a deathly coldness, devoid of any emotion or reason, following only instinct.

The emperor, who had paused, lifted his foot again and began to walk once more into that bizarre and wondrous world.
The cracked Great Dao River behind him healed itself, and the chaotic currents covered everything, as if nothing had happened.

Tianyuan World!

Almost as the endless celestial light burst forth, Su Jie from the Canes Venatici Galaxy suddenly sensed something, and the Kunlun Mirror in his hand hummed and trembled.

"That is."

Su Jie frowned, his eyes solemn. He sensed that the Kunlun Mirror seemed to be reviving, and his gaze involuntarily pierced through the void, looking towards the location of the Great Dao River.

Deep within the vast and distant river of history, something seems to have happened, causing quite a commotion.

As a Heavenly Venerable of Crossing the Dao, Su Jie's true spirit was extremely powerful, reaching an unbelievable level.

Even humans can use technology and mathematical calculations to observe supernova explosions millions of light-years away and retrospectively deduce their effects.

Su Jie's divine sense can cover the entire Milky Way galaxy, and it can cover billions of miles of the Great Dao River. Although it is nothing compared to the boundless Great Dao River, Su Jie can still deduce the great movements of the Great Dao River by observing the chaotic air currents within it, even if the distance is too far to be perceived by him.

Just like human observation of supernova explosions in the universe, we can use scientific methods to pinpoint which star exploded as a supernova at the end of its life, even if the star exploded hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago.

"The corpse of the Human Emperor!"

Su Jie muttered to himself, his eyes filled with seriousness.

Even the battle between the Heavenly Venerable of Crossing the Dao and the Lord of Chaos wouldn't have been able to create such a commotion, let alone cause unnatural fluctuations in the Kunlun Mirror.

Su Jie had not forgotten that the Kunlun Mirror, this celestial treasure, was the weapon that the Human Emperor possessed in his lifetime.

Thinking of this, Su Jie looked at Ning Yunying, who was sitting cross-legged not far away cultivating the "Ten Thousand Tribulations Nirvana Technique". At this time, she had already reached 15% of the refinement of the Great Dao Divine Pattern, which was quite fast. The effect of the Immortal Blood was enormous.

"What's wrong."

Ning Yunying opened her eyes and looked at Su Jie with some confusion.

"I should go now. I'm leaving your sister and Yu Chang in your care. Protect them as they break through to the Void Realm and make sure nothing happens to them."

Su Jie spoke slowly; he didn't have time to stay here any longer.

"Now!"

Ning Yunying felt very reluctant to part with him. She had only been in a relationship with Su Jie for a few days, and now Su Jie was about to leave.

"There might be some progress on the matter of the immortal corpse. I need to set off."

As Su Jie spoke, he saw the worry in Ning Yunying's eyes and laughed, "Don't worry, your husband is the Heavenly Venerable of Crossing the Dao, he has plenty of abilities, and he will be back soon."

Su Jie kissed Ning Yunying on the cheek and didn't continue with any more fussing or acting like they were about to part ways.

Leaving those words behind, Su Jie opened the void portal and stepped inside.

Ning Yunying's eyes were resolute. She couldn't be of much help now unless she could advance to the Heavenly Venerable of Crossing the Dao.

Thinking of this, Ning Yunying gritted her teeth, took out another portion of immortal blood, and began to absorb the power of the immortal blood to undergo tribulation cultivation.

In the Tianyuan World, on the Great Dao River outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

A portal to the void flashed, and Su Jie stepped out from it.

A quick scan with his divine sense revealed that the three Dao-crossing cultivators, Chi Yang, Xing Yue, and Gui Yuan, were all there, clearly having come because of the great commotion that had just occurred in the Great Dao River.

Upon seeing Su Jie, Chi Yang asked, "Xing Yuan, is your Kunlun Mirror also showing unusual activity?"

Su Jie nodded and asked, "You too?"

“That’s right. All of our immortal treasures showed unusual activity just now. There was a great commotion in the Great Dao River, which may be related to the immortal corpse.”

The Heavenly Venerable of the Crimson Sun said in a deep voice, indicating that everyone was the same.

Su Jie understood immediately and couldn't help but sneer, "I knew it. No wonder I didn't see Ling Xiao. He's a penniless wretch, he doesn't even have any magical treasures."

Everyone possessed celestial treasures: Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable had the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, Star Moon Celestial Venerable had the Chaos Banner, and Returning Origin Celestial Venerable had the Immortal-Slaying Sword. They noticed the anomaly in the Great Dao River the moment it occurred. Only Lingxiao Celestial Venerable did not have a celestial treasure, so his reaction was definitely a step slower.

Upon hearing this, the expressions on their faces became somewhat strange, and they glanced at the Kunlun Mirror in Su Jie's hand.

Fortunately, Lingxiao Tianzun didn't hear this, otherwise he would have been so angry he would have been furious!
It should be noted that the Kunlun Mirror originally belonged to the Lingxiao Heavenly Venerable, yet Su Jie used it to mock him, which was an immense irony.

"I've already notified Ling Xiao; he'll be here soon."

Star Moon Celestial Venerable shook her head, a bad feeling creeping into her heart. She was worried that if the cooperation failed, Su Jie would fight with Lingxiao Celestial Venerable first.

Although Su Jie had conflicts with several people, his hatred for Lingxiao Tianzun was the greatest. The theft of a celestial treasure was a grudge no one could easily tolerate. However, Xingyue Tianzun only thought about it and didn't intend to meddle; it wasn't her business anyway.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you suffered enough last time?"

Su Jie then turned his gaze to Guiyuan Tianzun, who had been staring at him up and down ever since he arrived.

Guiyuan Tianzun snorted coldly in his heart. It was a fact that his Dao-crossing physical body was no match for Su Jie in the Immortal's Tomb last time, and this was his disgrace.

"Xingyuan, it seems you didn't bring the Reincarnation Gun?"

Guiyuan Tianzun said in a sinister tone, while Dudao Tianzun, with his powerful divine sense, had already discovered some clues.

Upon hearing this, both Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable and Star Moon Celestial Venerable's eyes flickered. Su Jie, wielding two immortal treasures, was naturally incredibly powerful. No one could defeat him in a one-on-one fight, as evidenced by the fall of Netherworld Celestial Venerable.

But if Su Jie only has the Kunlun Mirror, then things might be different; his combat power might not even be as strong as theirs.

As veteran Celestial Venerables, if we disregard the celestial treasures, they don't believe that Su Jie, who has just advanced in rank, can surpass them.

With the hundreds of drops of immortal blood in Su Jie's possession, even though Su Jie said he had used them all up, the others didn't believe him at all, and couldn't help but be tempted.

"Heh, even if I were unarmed, let alone without the Reincarnation Gun, I could still suppress you with one hand."

Su Jie glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and knew what they were thinking, but he remained domineering and arrogant.

Guiyuan Tianzun's expression turned cold, and he said indifferently, "Xingyuan, don't be so arrogant. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"If I can kill Ming Xuan, I can also deal with you. If you don't believe me, come and try."

Su Jie sneered, and the two locked eyes, the atmosphere becoming tense.

"Su Jie, you've become arrogant because you've gained power. If you hadn't stolen my Kunlun Mirror, what gives you the audacity to say such a thing?"

Just as Su Jie and Gui Yuan were locked in a heated argument, a figure flew in from afar and interrupted the conversation.

This person was none other than the long-awaited Lingxiao Heavenly Venerable.

Seeing Su Jie and Gui Yuan facing off, he tried to sow discord between them. He thought that if Su Jie and Gui Yuan fought a big battle, he might be able to take the opportunity to reclaim the Kunlun Mirror.

"Useless trash, who gave you the right to interrupt me?"

A fierce glint flashed in Su Jie's eyes, and he suddenly sprang into action. The Kunlun Mirror faced the Heavenly Venerable Lingxiao, and a beam of annihilating divine light illuminated the heavens and earth, piercing through the void.

boom!
The chaotic energy surged and churned, and the Great Dao River began to boil.

No one expected Su Jie to make a move against Lingxiao Tianzun. Guiyuan and the others didn't expect it, and Lingxiao himself didn't expect it either. He had just shown his face when Su Jie was about to beat him up.

"Damn it!"

Lingxiao Tianzun's expression changed drastically. Others might not know, but as the former master of the Kunlun Mirror, how could he not know the power of the Kunlun Mirror? He hurriedly dodged.

Even so, the light of annihilation grazed his shoulder, causing his true spirit to tremble. A piece of his shoulder was missing, which he could only quickly repair using chaotic energy.

Before Lingxiao Tianzun could even breathe a sigh of relief, a dark figure rapidly approached.

Bang!
Su Jie punched Lingxiao Tianzun on the head with such force that even a star would be shattered.

Lingxiao Tianzun's head was severely flattened by Su Jie's ferocious punch. Fortunately, his True Spirit Transformation did not have a physical form and was more like a burning plasma flame. Otherwise, Su Jie would have smashed his brains out with that punch.

"Too deceiving!"

Seeing that Su Jie was about to engage in close combat without even taking out the celestial treasure Kunlun Mirror, Lingxiao Tianzun could no longer tolerate it. He was not one to be beaten up, and his face contorted with rage as he unleashed a powerful punch to counter Su Jie's attack.

In an instant, both sides were imbued with the power of the Great Dao's rules, and their fists and feet collided rapidly, colliding millions of times in a flash. Their speed of combat surpassed the speed of light, and black holes were born and destroyed in the aftershocks of their battle, with the brilliance of a supernova explosion continuously blooming in the universe.

On the long river of the Great Dao, countless waves surged, and chaotic energy transformed into a tsunami that spread, finally breaking through the void and reaching the mortal world.

In each fierce clash between the two sides, planets were blasted apart and disintegrated into cosmic dust fragments, and star systems were annihilated in the battle.

Wherever it passed, all matter shattered into dust, space revealed mirror-like black hole cracks, and the starry sea was filled with the aura of death and destruction.

However, the battle was not evenly matched; on the contrary, Su Jie, the newly promoted Heavenly Venerable, was suppressing Ling Xiao, the veteran Heavenly Venerable of Crossing the Dao.

Su Jie transformed into a true spirit with 100% of the Great Dao Divine Patterns, while when Lingxiao Tianzun advanced to Dudao Tianzun, he could at most refine 70-80% of the Great Dao Divine Patterns.

The key to the strength of a true spirit lies in the divine runes of the Great Dao. In essence, with each strike from the immortal treasure, the divine runes of the Great Dao reconstruct the cultivator's body. The process of refining the divine runes of the Great Dao is also the process of reconstructing the body.

The more Dao Divine Runes one refines, the more powerful the True Spirit becomes, equivalent to a person having stronger muscles, harder bones, and a more agile reaction speed, which relates to the strength of the body.

In this respect, Su Jie far surpasses Lingxiao Tianzun. Even without using the Kunlun Mirror, Su Jie can still defeat Lingxiao Tianzun, a veteran Dao-Crossing Venerable. Even if the other party has cultivated for millions of years, he cannot change this situation.

The once radiant white light of the Heavenly Venerable Lingxiao now had cracks all over his true spirit body, with several piercing wounds, and his light was dim, making him look weak.

In contrast, although Su Jie also had some injuries and minor cracks on his body, he was in much better condition than Lingxiao Tianzun.

"Enough! Stop!"

"Gentlemen, now is not the time for internal conflict; the immortal corpse is the most important thing."

"Xingyuan, that's enough."

Upon seeing this scene, Chi Yang and the others, who had been watching the spectacle, all spoke up and intervened to stop the two, because they were afraid that if things continued like this, Ling Xiao would be beaten to death by Su Jie.

At the same time, the others were also inwardly alarmed. Although they knew that Su Jie intended to make an example of someone, Su Jie's powerful combat strength was beyond doubt.

Just look at the miserable state of Lingxiao Tianzun at this moment, and you'll know that he is no match for Su Jie at all, and has almost no power to fight back. Although this is largely due to the fact that Lingxiao Tianzun does not have any immortal treasures, Su Jie did not use the Kunlun Mirror either, so the difference in combat power is self-evident.

"Ling Xiao, you piece of trash. If you're weak, then behave yourself. If you dare to covet my Kunlun Mirror again, I'll break your legs."

Su Jie stopped. Having achieved his goal, he hadn't originally intended to kill Lingxiao Tianzun in front of everyone. Beating Lingxiao Tianzun to vent his anger was just to demonstrate his strength and prevent the others from always coveting his immortal blood.

Lingxiao Tianzun's face turned pale and then red, and he roared in his heart, "The Kunlun Mirror belongs to me, it's mine!"

But having just been beaten black and blue by Su Jie, he ultimately dared not provoke Su Jie again in the face of Su Jie's aggressive and arrogant demeanor.

Ultimately, cultivators are judged by their strength, even those at the Dao-Crossing Celestial Venerable level; the strong have more say. (End of Chapter)
