Living in the deep palace

boom! ! !
The "Star Sea - Five Thousand Dragon Realm" that Su Chen activated with all his strength and the sword intent condensed with the laws of endless killing and annihilation slashed out by the ancient sword immortal, collided violently in the core square of this broken palace!
The ruins of the temple, which were already in ruins, were torn and destroyed into pieces like paper under the impact of this force!
The huge bronze columns were instantly reduced to dust, the remaining palaces collapsed, and a bottomless chasm was plowed open on the ground. Even the immortal bronze gate in the center of the square trembled violently in this horrific collision, and countless ancient runes on the gate flashed wildly, flickering unsteadily!

The laws of space are completely disrupted, and time seems to have stopped for a moment!

At the edge of the square, the corpses of three powerful men who had long since perished - the God King, the Half-Step Xuan Yu Immortal of the human race, and another powerful ancient beastman covered in dust and rubble, along with their remaining magic weapons, were all completely crushed in the aftermath of the energy storm, turned into the most basic powder, and dissipated without a trace!

The two forces from Su Chen and the opponent collided and annihilated each other madly, and no one could completely overwhelm the other in a short period of time!
"puff!"

"So strong!"

Su Chen's body shook violently, as if struck by lightning, and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth!

The sword light of that ancient swordsman is too terrifying!
If he had not already reached the peak of the Ninth Revolution, had an extremely strong immortal body, and had not been protected by the essence of the Longevity Tree, the aftermath of this sword alone would have been enough to cause his body to collapse and his soul to be severely damaged!
"Really strong!"

"This bronze armor sword immortal is at most at the level of a black jade immortal, but relying on the remaining power of the law, he was able to reach such a level!"

Su Chen was shocked. "The power of this sword, relying on the power of rules, has definitely reached the level of the true Xuanyu Immortal Ranking! It may even be stronger!"

He had no doubt that if it were an ordinary Xuan Yuxian, facing this sword, he would be killed instantly!

However, Su Chen was horrified that the ancient swordsman in bronze armor seemed... even more shocked!
Although his face was expressionless and his eyes were empty, Su Chen could clearly feel that the other party's aura, which was originally as dead as eternal ice, had a very weak... fluctuation!
He seemed shocked by how powerful Su Chen was!
"Why is it that a True Immortal could resist the punishment and not die?"

"It shouldn't be!"

"How could this be?"

"Could it be that after so many years, as time passes, my strength has deteriorated to such an extent?"

He was murmured, he was whispered, he was stunned.

Obviously, Su Chen's strongest attack, which combined the power of Blood Prison and the origin of the Immortal Tree, was far beyond its expectations!

The contradictory yet unified cycle of life and death, the power of creation and destruction contained in the vast sea of ​​stars formed an extremely strange and powerful field, which actually... blocked its sword of annihilation that could cut through anything!
It is even constantly consuming and assimilating the power in the sword energy!

"Crack!"

After a stalemate of several breaths, the plain sword light finally made a slight crisp sound, and the light dimmed, and was finally completely swallowed up and obliterated by the rotating Yin-Yang sea of ​​stars!
And most of Su Chen's star sea field was consumed, and the light became somewhat illusory.

Although Su Chen suffered some injuries in the first round of confrontation, he finally... blocked it!

In fact, he even had a slight advantage!
"Come again!"

"I don't agree!"

"In order to gain powerful strength, I did not hesitate to transform myself into such a strange creature and guard the palace gate here for the rest of my life. How could I be inferior to you!"

"Come again! I will definitely kill you! You sinner who triggered the law!"

Without waiting for Su Chen to catch his breath, the ancient swordsman in bronze armor moved again!

The rusty ancient sword in his hand drew out mysterious tracks, like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ! !
In an instant, hundreds of sword energies that were more condensed, more tricky, and contained different laws and artistic conceptions, burst towards Su Chen from all directions like a violent storm!

Some of these sword energies were as fast as lightning, some were as strange as ghosts, some were as heavy as mountains, and some were as light as feathers... Each one was enough to pose a fatal threat to those at the high level of Xuanxian!

"Humph! Do you think having more numbers will help?"

Su Chen snorted coldly, and instead of retreating, he moved forward!

"Absolute Immortal Technique!"

"Sea of ​​Stars - Waves pile up to form a sea!"

He changed the hand gestures with his hands, and the vast sea of ​​stars condensed again and shrank rapidly!
The sea of ​​stars that originally spread over thousands of miles instantly condensed into a vortex of jade and blood with a diameter of only a hundred feet, hanging above Su Chen's head!
In the vortex, the Yin and Yang stars were spinning at high speed, as if they had turned into an indestructible sea of ​​sword energy and turned into a millstone!
All the sword energy that burst out, no matter what kind of laws and artistic conception it contained, the moment it came into contact with the whirlpool of the sea of ​​stars, was forcibly sucked into it like a drop in the ocean, and then completely crushed and obliterated by the terrifying spinning force and the artistic conception of the cycle of life and death!
Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The crisp sound of collision continued to be heard, but not even a ripple could be caused on the surface of the vortex in the sea of ​​stars!
"Some tricks!"

While Su Chen was dissolving the sword energy, he carefully observed the ancient sword immortal.

He discovered that although this swordsman had superb swordsmanship and incredible power, he seemed to... lack some flexibility and variety.

Every time he swung his sword, it was extremely precise and powerful, yet it seemed as if he was following some fixed "procedure".

Moreover, the energy in his body does not seem to be endless.

Every time he swung his sword, the deadly aura on his body would weaken a little, and the sharp sword intent would stagnate for a moment.

"Sure enough... it's not a real living being!"

Su Chen understood, "It's more like a kind of... guardian spirit formed by the combination of obsession and power? Or... a sword puppet?"

“What a luxury!”

"How prosperous was the ancient immortal world at that time that they could even use a Xuanyu Immortal to refine puppets? If it were now, Xuanyu Immortal would be the overlord ancestor of the star sea."

This kind of existence might have been extremely powerful at its peak, but after all, it has fallen for countless years, so its strength must have declined, and it lacks true wisdom and flexibility.

"In that case..."

Su Chen's eyes gleamed, "Then... I'll exhaust you to death!"

When he thought about being able to kill a life of the Xuanyu Immortal List level at the peak of the Ninth Revolution, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

The shadow cast by the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang was too great!
He always had a sense of fear towards the Xuanyu Immortal List, and now was the best time to break the fear.

He must win this battle!

Not only to obtain the ninth key, but also for himself, so that he can overcome the horror of the battle with Jin Guangxian!
then.

Su Chen no longer pursued a head-on confrontation, but changed his strategy.

His figure was like a ghost, moving at high speed in the broken ruins of the shrine, using the terrain and remaining restrictions to constantly dodge and maneuver.

At the same time, the starry sea vortex above his head kept running, like a solid tortoise shell, dissolving all the incoming sword energy.

And every time he dodged, he would deliberately guide the ancient swordsman to make powerful sword moves to consume the opponent's strength.

clang!clang!clang!
For a moment, in the core area of ​​the shattered temple, sword energy was everywhere, starlight was twinkling, and the roar of energy collision was endless!
The ancient swordsman was like a tireless war machine, constantly wielding the ancient sword and slashing out earth-shattering sword auras!
Su Chen was like a small boat in the stormy waves. It seemed that it might capsize at any time, but he always managed to avoid the fatal blow at the most critical moment and constantly consume the opponent.

"His strength...is fading!"

"Sure enough." "For him, after being refined into a puppet, he no longer has the immortal orifice, and naturally no longer has a continuous supply of immortal essence. He can only win quickly, and this is my chance!"

After fighting for a full half hour, Su Chen keenly realized that the power of the sword energy slashed out by the ancient sword immortal was obviously not as terrifying as at the beginning!

The fierce sword intent in him also became somewhat dispersed.

"The opportunity has come!"

A fierce light flashed in Su Chen's eyes!
Just at the moment when the ancient swordsman swung out his sword again and his aura stagnated for a moment!

"It's now!"

Su Chen's figure suddenly appeared beside the ancient swordsman as if teleporting!

This time, he did not use "Star Sea"!
Instead... clenched his right fist!

The power of the peak of the ninth level, the five thousand sea jade dragons in his body, and even the fused destructive power of the blood prison...all the power, at this moment, was concentrated on his right fist!
A faint jade-colored luster, like glass, even appeared on the surface of the fist, and through it one could vaguely see the birth and death of stars, and the cycle of life and death!

"Give me...break!!!"

Su Chen roared, gathered all his strength and punched hard at the bronze armored figure...

chest!

That is... the location of the ninth Xuantian key!

Su Chen did not hold back at all with this punch!

What he wanted was not only to defeat the opponent, but also to... take the key by force!!!
"clang--!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It was like a huge bell being struck!
Su Chen's fist hit the bronze armor that looked broken but was actually extremely hard!

The terrifying power erupted instantly!

Click!Click!
The sturdy bronze armor finally couldn't bear the weight and shattered into pieces!
The figure of the ancient sword immortal was blown away like a kite with a broken string, and crashed into the huge bronze gate in the distance, making a dull loud noise!

puff!
A ball of dark red, blood-like energy gushed out from the broken armor!

"what!"

The Bronze Sword Immortal screamed miserably.

But in the empty eyes of this ancient sword immortal, there seemed to be a flash of... relief?
The fierce sword intent in his body receded rapidly like the tide, and was replaced by an even more intense... breath of death.

As the armor was broken, a dark-black object with complex and mysterious patterns engraved on its surface, emitting the same aura as the key in Su Chen's hand...

key!

Finally exposed!
It was quietly suspended in the broken chest of the ancient swordsman, emitting a faint light.

"The ninth Xuantian key!!!"

An unprecedented light burst out from Su Chen's eyes!
He stretched out his hand without hesitation and grabbed the black key!
however.

Just when Su Hen’s fingers were about to touch the key!
The mutation...happened again!
Buzz——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The huge bronze gate that had been silent all this time suddenly burst into a thousand-foot-long green light!

A vast, majestic, and terrifying will that seemed to come from the ancient times suddenly descended!

"Anyone who dares to trespass into my bedroom, the supreme palace of the gods in the ancient fairyland...will be wiped out!!!"

A voice that was colder, more majestic, and full of unquestionable will than the previous voice of the ancient sword immortal. It echoed throughout the entire temple like rolling thunder!
"Again?"

"This……"

Su Chen was shocked and angry, and his face was about to burst.

It’s so foul!
He had already killed a bronze sword immortal guard at the Xuanyu Immortal List level. In his opinion, this was already the limit.

Now, another one has popped up!
How is this still playing?
No wonder after so many years, no descendant of the Ebony family has been able to retrieve the ninth key from here.

Moreover, over millions of years, there must have been many powerful people who had walked here, but there is a reason why the Ninth Key can still stand here.

next moment!
A giant hand that was completely condensed from azure divine light and covered the sky and the sun suddenly stretched out from behind the bronze gate, with a terrifying power that could crush everything and wipe out everything, and headed towards Su Chen...

Take a hard shot!!!

This power...

Surprisingly surpassed Xuan Yuxian!

Infinitely close... even reaching... the level of the rumored Golden Immortal!!!

That's right.

It’s the Golden Immortal!

Su Chen, who had once clashed with the Golden Light Immortal, knew clearly what the Golden Immortal's great laws and status were like.

It is the status of the Golden Immortal and the aura of the laws of the Tao.

"Golden Immortal's power?! Not good!!!"

"This is impossible!"

"How could there be a Golden Immortal here?"

Su Chen's face changed drastically, and an unprecedented sense of life and death crisis instantly enveloped his whole body!

Jinxian!

That is the supreme being that truly stands on the top of the sea of ​​stars, overlooking the changes of the epochs! It is the synonym of the third realm!
Even if it was just a trace of will or a remnant of strength, it was definitely not something that Su Chen could contend with today!
escape! ! !
This was the only thought left in Su Chen's mind!
He didn't even bother to grab the Ninth Mysterious Heaven Key that was so close to him. He turned around and was about to tear through space to escape!
However, the speed of the giant green hand was faster than him!
As if ignoring the distance of space and time, it had already enveloped his head the moment he turned around!

The terrifying pressure was like millions of sacred mountains pressing down, and Su Chen felt as if his immortal body was about to be crushed in an instant! The immortal world was shaking violently and almost collapsed! Even the extremely solid Dao Heart had a crack!
"Is this... the power of the Golden Immortal?!"

There was a glimmer of despair in Su Chen's eyes, but more of it was unwillingness!
He had gone through countless hardships and survived many deaths to get to where he is today! He was only one step away from becoming a tenth-level immortal! The ninth key was also within reach!
Is it... going to die here?! (End of this chapter)
