Living in the deep palace

"It seems that we can't get around the remaining tree whiskers or the two broken tree cores."

"It's easy to find!"

"Compared to the Golden Immortal, whose whereabouts are unknown, the broken tree heart of the Heartless Immortal is relatively easy to find!"

Su Chen stood on a desolate star at the edge of the Tianluan star field, gazing into the depths of the starry sea with deep eyes.

The last breath of Wuxin Immortal pointed to the legendary forbidden place - the Burial Immortal Ruins. And the last piece of tree whiskers was in the body of the mysterious Golden Immortal who was suspected to be in the third realm.

"Golden Immortal... I can't afford to offend him for now."

Su Chen is very self-aware. Even though his strength has skyrocketed now, enough to sweep most of the Xuanyu Immortal List, he is still like an ant when facing a true third-level existence.

The shadow left by the cross-domain incarnation of the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang has not dissipated to this day.

"Then... let's go to the Immortal Burial Ruins first!"

The Burial Ruins of Immortals is one of the three forbidden areas in the Tianluan Star Region. It is notorious and extremely mysterious, and no one knows its whereabouts.

It is rumored that it was an extremely tragic core battlefield when the ancient immortal world was destroyed, and more than one Golden Immortal died there. There are also rumors that even the corpse of the Immortal Emperor who reached the top of the Immortal Era is buried here.

Endless years have passed, and the Taoist rhyme, resentment, and broken laws of the fallen Golden Immortal have intertwined, causing the time and space inside the Burial of Immortals to become disordered, the laws to collapse, and crises to be lurking on all sides.

But for Su Chen, that place might be the only clue to finding Wuxinxian and seizing the tree heart.

"Ancient Insect Immortal, how much do you know about the Immortal Burial Ruins?"

Su Chen called out in his heart.

The Ancient Insect Immortal, who had been silent for a long time, responded quickly this time, but his voice was obviously trembling: "Immortal Burial Ruins? Boy, you... are you crazy?! How dare you go to that damn place?!"

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me what you know."

Su Chen's tone was calm.

The Ancient Insect Immortal was silent for a moment, as if he was trying his best to recall and fight against some kind of forgotten power. His voice came intermittently: "That place... is very weird... very weird!"

"I... I just remember that there seemed to be more than one guy... outside the 'door'... who also died there..."

“Even they have fallen!”

"Golden Immortals are also bleeding there! There must be great terror there! There may even be remnants of contamination from outside the 'gate'!"

"Boy, listen to my advice, don't go! Really don't go!"

The ancient insect fairy's voice was filled with unprecedented fear.

"The guy outside the door also died there?" Su Chen frowned slightly, but his heart became more determined, "It seems that I have to go there again."

There may not only be clues to the heart of the tree there, but there may even be... secrets about "door" and "sky is silent" hidden there!

Tian Buyu never goes to meaningless places!
"Just tell me, do you know it or not?"

Su Chen asked.

"Know!"

"Ugh!"

"It's deep in the Tianluan Star Region, where there is a piece of ..."

After a moment of silence, the Ancient Insect Immortal sighed, and finally told Su Chen the location of the Immortal Burial Ruins in detail.

Also.

Along the way, Su Chen has accomplished many things that seemed impossible.

Perhaps, even the Immortal Burial Ruins cannot bury this notorious and terrifying immortal like him!

maybe……

The ancient insect fairy was also a little unsure.

But he was still willing to take a gamble. After all, he had already placed the future of the Golden Immortal, or the future of the Three Realms Beast, on Su Chen.

"okay, I get it."

Su Chen nodded.

Afterwards, he ignored the ancient insect fairy's dissuasion, identified the direction, and his body turned into a stream of light, flying towards the legendary forbidden land deep in the Tianluan star region.

……

……

The Tianluan star region is vast and boundless, and its territory is far wider than the Tianxu star region that Su Chen had experienced before.

There is no unified order here. The three dominant clans - demon gods, ancient beasts, and gods and demons each occupy one side and are constantly fighting each other. There are also countless small and medium-sized forces and lone strong men trying to survive in the cracks. Chaos and killing are the eternal themes.

Su Chen traveled along the way and saw many bizarre scenes.

There are giant beasts in the sky that are as big as stars and feed on devouring star cores; there are tribes of gods and demons that ride on bone magic ships and plunder everywhere; there is also a strange kingdom of demons and gods that combines technology with immortality and is built on a huge war fortress.

He tried his best to keep a low profile, restrain his aura and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

of course.

The main reason was that he didn't want to leave any trace behind, as this would let the top forces in the vast starry sky know his whereabouts.

If this happens, complications may easily arise!
But even so, we encountered several troubles, not too big or too small.

Once, he passed by a seemingly peaceful meteorite belt, but accidentally broke into the territory of a sleeping "Void Shadow Nightmare".

That Shadow Nightmare is invisible and intangible, and is good at mental attacks. Its strength has reached the peak of the Xuanxian realm, and it is only one step away from becoming a God King or a Xuanyu Immortal!

If it were in the past, Su Chen might have to go through some trouble, or even use the "Sea Dragon".

But now, he just snorted coldly, and the immortal thoughts that were completed in the ninth transformation and integrated with the meaning of reincarnation of life and death burst out!
"puff!"

The arrogant Void Shadow Nightmare didn't even make a scream before its huge spiritual core shattered into pieces like a mirror and was completely annihilated!

"You are such a fool, you dare to force me to do something!"

Another time, he was targeted by a patrol led by three Xuanxian middle-level demon gods. Seeing that he was a human and alone, the other party became malicious and wanted to kill him and steal his treasure.

The results speak for themselves.

Su Chen was too lazy to even use his immortal energy. He just exhaled a breath of foul air and turned them into cosmic dust.

Not even a trace of battle fluctuations remained!

"This Tianluan Star Region is indeed a lawless place."

Su Chen shook his head and continued on his way.

The closer you get to the Immortal Burial Ruins, the more desolate and dead the surrounding starry sky becomes. A faint, heart-pounding smell of decay permeates the space. The originally chaotic laws become even more distorted and unstable here, and small space cracks often appear out of thin air and then disappear quietly.

The stars that could be seen occasionally all took on an eerie grey color, as if all life had been drained from them.

"Coming……"

Su Chen stopped and looked at the star field in front of him that was shrouded in endless gray fog.

There is the outer area of ​​the Immortal Burial Ruins.

Different from the violent entrance of Canghai, the Burial Ruins of Immortals gives people a feeling of deathly silence, oppression, and bone-deep coldness.

It seemed that behind the fog, there was a bottomless abyss that swallowed up all vitality and hope.

Su Chen took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and adjusted his condition to the best.

He knew that the road ahead would be more dangerous than any adventure he had encountered before!

Cautiously he approached the gray mist.

The divine sense was sent out, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. It was instantly swallowed and assimilated by the fog, and it was impossible to detect anything.

"What a weird fog!" Su Chen's heart trembled, "It can even block and devour my tenth-level divine consciousness. This fog itself may contain some terrifying laws of death or decay!"

He tried to activate the ninth key.

hum!
The black key vibrated slightly, emitting an ancient and vast array fluctuation, trying to analyze the composition of the fog.

However, this time, the Ninth Key also encountered obstacles.

There seemed to be some older, more powerful force in the fog, interfering with the search for the key.

"It seems that we can only force our way in."

Su Chen no longer hesitated.

A starry sea field with a faint jade and blood color appeared on his body surface, protecting himself tightly, and then... he stepped into the endless gray fog!

Cold! Dead silence!
This was Su Chen’s first feeling after entering the fog.

The light around him completely disappeared, and he could not see his hand in front of him. His divine sense was suppressed to the limit, and he could only barely sense the area within a hundred feet around him.

What’s even more terrifying is that an invisible force is constantly eroding his starry sea domain, trying to deprive him of the vitality in his body!
This force is cold, sticky, and full of negative emotions, as if it is condensed from the resentment and death energy of countless fallen creatures!

"Humph! A mere dead energy thinks you can shake my star sea domain?"

Su Chen snorted coldly, and the Tree of Immortality in his body swayed gently. A powerful force of vitality emanated from his body, like the spring sun melting snow, purifying all the dead energy that had invaded his body!
He walked cautiously in the fog under tremendous pressure.

The space here was extremely chaotic, and his sense of direction was completely lost. Su Chen could only rely on the weak sense of the remains of the Immortal Dao Tree to identify the direction with difficulty.

I don’t know how long I walked in the fog, but finally a faint light appeared before my eyes.

Su Chen became more energetic and quickened his pace.

After passing through the last layer of fog, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear! But what followed was an even more frightening scene!
This is a... cemetery!
A vast and boundless starry sky cemetery where countless powerful people are buried!!!
The huge, broken tombstones stood in the void like mountains! On each tombstone, ancient words or totems were engraved, exuding a vicissitudes and sad atmosphere!

Some of the tombstones were well preserved, and the pressure emanating from them even frightened Su Chen! They were definitely left behind by... Golden Immortal-level beings!!!
And between these tombstones, there are countless soul fires emitting faint light!
Those soul fires have different shapes. Some are human-shaped, some are beast-shaped, and some are twisted and distorted, exuding a violent and resentful aura!
These...are all the remaining souls of the powerful ones who died in the Immortal Burial Ruins!!!
They have lost their sanity, leaving only the most primitive instincts and resentment. They wander in the cemetery like ghosts, attacking any living creature that approaches!

"hiss--!"

Su Chen took a breath of cold air!
Golden Immortal Tombstone! The Remnant Soul of the Strong!
The danger level of this Immortal Burial Ruins is even more terrifying than he had imagined!
“No wonder even the Xuanyu Immortal Ranking doesn’t dare to go deep into it easily. No wonder the location of the Immortal Burial Ruins needs to be hidden…”

Just when Su Chen was secretly on guard.

shhhhhh!
Several soul fires emitting the aura of mysterious immortals discovered the aura of Su Chen, the "living being". Like sharks smelling blood, they let out silent roars and turned into streams of light and pounced towards him!
"court death!"

Su Chen's eyes turned cold and he snapped his fingers.

Bang bang bang!
Those Xuanxian-level soul fires exploded like fireworks and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

However, this seems to have stirred up a hornet's nest!

Su Chen's move instantly alarmed more residual souls in the area!

Wuwuwu——! ! !
A shrill roar resounded through the void!

Hundreds and thousands of soul fires emitting the aura of true immortals and mysterious immortals surged towards Su Chen from all directions like a tide!

Among them, there were even a few... powerful residual souls emitting a faint aura of the Mysterious Jade Immortal...!!!
"trouble!"

Su Chen frowned.

Although these residual souls have lost the wisdom and supernatural powers they had in their lifetime, there are too many of them, and they are fearless and extremely difficult to deal with!
If he were surrounded by them, even he would probably have to spend a lot of effort to escape!

More importantly, he didn't want to waste too much energy here!
"We must find the location of Wuxinxian as soon as possible!"

Su Chen no longer wanted to fight. His figure flashed and turned into a stream of light, flying rapidly towards the direction where the remains of the Longevity Tree were most sensitive!
At the same time, the "sea of ​​stars" on his body surface expanded again, and the black and white immortal energy circulated, forming a solid barrier that shook away all the residual souls that rushed over!
Su Chen rushed all the way at lightning speed. He didn't know how many cemeteries he had passed through and how many waves of attacks from the residual souls he had defeated.

Gradually, the surrounding tombstones became older and larger, and the pressure they exuded became more and more terrifying!
There were even a few tombstones that made Su Chen feel a sharp pain in his soul just by getting close to them, as if he was about to be crushed by the remaining will!
"It's definitely... a tombstone from the third realm!"

Su Chen was horrified and quickly moved away.

And the sensation of the remains of the Immortal Tree finally became extremely clear!

Just ahead!

That was a black altar...completely different from the other tombstones?!

wrong!

That is not an altar! It is a cage... a prison made of countless twisted and broken pieces of laws!!!
The cage was completely black, with its surface covered with strange scarlet patterns, emitting a disgusting smell of filth and ominousness!
And in the center of the cage!

A familiar figure was being pierced through the body by countless scarlet chains and was nailed to the center of the cage!

He had no facial features and a weak breath. It was...

Wuxinxian!!!
At this moment, Wuxinxian no longer has the might he once had when he fought with the middle-level Xuanxian and devoured the high-level Xuanxian and broke through the peak of earthly immortal power.

She doesn't look like Xuan Yuxian at all!
His entire body was filled with the filthy aura of the Mysterious Jade Immortal Spirit, and he was like a broken doll, trapped in this strange cage, with no telling whether he was alive or dead!
And in his chest, the "heart" that was fused with the tree heart was emitting a faint green light, struggling to resist the erosion of the surrounding filthy forces!

"Wuxinxian!"

Su Chen's pupils shrank!
Finally found!
But he did not step forward immediately.

Because, he could clearly feel that around that strange black cage, there was... a more terrifying, more evil, and full of madness and chaos... will!!!
That will did not come from a living being, but more like... some kind of... distortion of rules? !

"Jie Jie Jie..."

A sharp, piercing, strange laugh that seemed to be able to tear the soul apart suddenly sounded in Su Chen's sea of ​​consciousness!

"Another...delicious...sacrifice...is delivered to our door..."

"The aura of the Immortal Dao Tree... really... makes me... miss it..." (End of this chapter)
