Living in the deep palace

Su Chen stood up, his gaze fixed on the endless dark void, the killing intent in his eyes solidifying as if it were a tangible substance.

"Taoist Wanmu!"

He pronounced the name word by word, his voice filled with deep-seated hatred, "I will repay the debt of Wuxinxian a hundredfold!"

"Your third tree stump will eventually belong to me, and be returned to its rightful owner."

"Next, it's your... dog's life!"

He knew that Daoist Wanmu was powerful, and even though he was only in the initial stage of awakening, he was not comparable to an ordinary Golden Immortal.

But he is not the same person he was before!

With his advanced Taiyi Xuanxian realm, the complete Longevity Tree, and the numerous powerful secret techniques in the "Taiyi Demon Suppression Record," he was absolutely confident that he could fight that old dog head-on!
"But, with the vastness of the starry sky, where could that old dog be hiding?"

Su Chen frowned slightly.

He looked out at the Tomb of Ten Thousand Trees, but to his surprise, he could not find any trace of the Taoist Master of Ten Thousand Trees!

Obviously.

This was the aura of his breakthrough here, mixed with the aura of the Longevity Tree, which once again alarmed Daoist Wanmu and scared him away!
He fled along with Wanmuzuka.

Also.

After the Tomb of Ten Thousand Trees, although he escaped with serious injuries, that was the best opportunity for the Taoist of Ten Thousand Trees to kill him.

Despite Wanmu Daoren's ambush, Su Chen still managed to escape. After that, with the balance of power shifting, Wanmu Daoren knew that the possibility of him killing Su Chen again had become extremely slim.

He was a mid-stage Golden Immortal in slumber, his combat power no longer what it once was. With Zuo Qingcang around, his strength could no longer rise any higher.

Su Chen had only just entered the second realm of the Ineffable Realm. Although his status was no weaker than that of a Golden Immortal, he was a genuine second realm of the Ineffable Realm, so Zuo Qingcang's pollution had little effect on him.

Su Chen has not yet reached the peak of the second realm!

"hehe."

"They ran away, which shows they had some self-awareness."

"But do you really think you can escape?"

"No one can save you today, I'm telling you!" Su Chen's eyes turned cold.

Although seeking revenge at the mid-stage of Taiyi is somewhat reckless, it would be much more certain to succeed when one is at the high-stage of Taiyi, or even at the Taiyi Heavenly Immortal stage.

However, Su Chen still felt that any grudge should be settled on the spot!
Otherwise, it will be very difficult to find someone else!

"Let me see where you are!"

"I'm not someone you can mess with."

Su Chen once again sank into his sea of ​​consciousness, activating the Taiyi Dao Seed that had merged with the stone tablet.

Above the Dao Seed, that mysterious star map reappeared.

After the Longevity Tree was fully completed, Su Chen's perception of the star map became even more acute.

To his surprise, he discovered that, in addition to the coordinates that had previously guided him to the Annihilation Tide, the star map also showed...

At this moment, another area is emitting faint fluctuations that are extremely similar to the decaying wood element law of the Daoist of Ten Thousand Woods... and the faint remnant aura of tree tendrils...!

really.

This stone tablet star map is truly amazing; it not only contains the heart of the tree, but it can also help him search for the whereabouts of the third tree tendril.

In that case, even if Daoist Wanmu escapes to the ends of the earth, it will be of no use.

The vast starry sky is immense!
Wanmu Daoren probably wanted to hide and survive, but he underestimated Su Chen too much, actually thinking he could hide.

“This is… the Rotten Wood Miasma Starfield?!” A glint flashed in Su Chen’s eyes.

The Rotten Wood Miasma Starfield, located on the edge of the Chaotic Heavenly Starfield, is a chaotic land filled with highly poisonous miasma and decaying laws.

Legend has it that this place was once the place where a powerful wood-elemental demon fell in ancient times. His resentment and decaying divine power after his death turned the entire star field into an ominous wasteland.

"You old dog, you really are a persistent ghost, even your choice of hiding place is so in line with your nature!" Su Chen sneered.

The environment there is harsh and the laws are chaotic, making it suitable for hiding and healing. Moreover... there might even be some special resources that old dog needs.

"Very well! You have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, so you've chosen to throw yourself into hell!"

Without further hesitation, Su Chen moved swiftly, about to leave the desolate black tide.

However, just as he was about to step out of the silent black tide, his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

He sensed that on the outskirts of this desolate black tide, several powerful yet subtle divine thoughts, like venomous snakes, were quietly probing.

"Hmph, you came quickly!" A cold glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

He knew that his breakthrough had caused too much of a stir and would inevitably attract the covetousness of various forces.

He didn't want to cause any trouble, but since someone had come to him of their own accord... he didn't mind letting them know what... true terror was!
Su Chen concealed his aura and silently merged into the endless darkness, like a top hunter waiting for his prey to appear.

Now that he is a Golden Immortal, it is time for him to demonstrate his power to the entire vast starry sea with a single, terrifying victory.

And, his identity as the strongest in the Star Sea.

A third-realm combatant capable of traversing the vast starry sea freely, unaffected by Zuo Qingcang, has been born.

That's him—Su Chen!
What a load of bull! Being number one on both lists is nothing compared to the power of the only Golden Immortal in the world.

……

……

At the edge of the desolate black tide, three ancient-looking starships, their bodies engraved with mysterious array patterns, floated in the void in a triangular formation.

On the deck of the warship stood several figures, each with a powerful aura and sharp eyes, clearly top experts from different forces.

"Fellow Daoists, according to the information from within the sect, the source of that nine-colored pillar of light is deep within this silent black tide."

"Such an extraordinary phenomenon must indicate the birth of a great treasure!"

An old man dressed in a Bagua Taoist robe and holding a whisk slowly spoke.

He was the Supreme Elder of the "Xuandu Temple," a reclusive sect in the Tianluan Star Domain, and his cultivation had reached the Xuan Yu Immortal level.

“What Brother Xuandu said is absolutely right.”

Another burly middle-aged man, clad in blood-red armor and exuding a ferocious aura, said in a deep voice, "Our 'Blood Fiend Sect' is also determined to obtain this treasure!"

"If anyone dares to challenge us, don't blame my blood-slaughtering blade for not recognizing anyone!"

The powerful figures among the rogue cultivators beside him nodded in agreement, their eyes gleaming with greed and bloodlust.

On the third warship was a group of cultivators dressed in uniform blue robes. Their expressions were indifferent, and their eyes held a hint of arrogance that was not easily detected.

Leading the group was a stunningly beautiful woman in palace attire. She possessed a cool and aloof demeanor, resembling a celestial maiden, yet the oppressive aura emanating from her caused both the old Taoist priest of Xuandu Temple and the sect leader of the Blood Fiend Sect to feel a sense of apprehension.

"Is the 'Yaoguang Immortal Palace' also interested in such a rare treasure?"

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the old Taoist priest at Xuandu Temple.

Yao Guang Immortal Palace is the most mysterious immortal power in the Tianluan Starfield, bar none. Rumors suggest it has ties to a top ancestor of the Ancient Beast Clan, and it rarely intervenes in external conflicts. Xuan Du Hall, Blood Fiend Sect, and Yao Guang Immortal Palace are all hidden immortal forces in the Tianluan Starfield, rumored to be extremely ancient. While not as powerful as the hidden dragons and crouching tigers of the Tianxu Starfield, they are still incredibly strong, with each generation producing at least one Xuan Yu Immortal to preside over them.

Furthermore, these three major forces have extremely harmonious relationships with the ancient demon god clan, the ancient god demon clan, and the ancient beast clan.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to gain a foothold in this chaotic star field!

In this regard.

The woman in palace attire spoke softly, her voice clear and cold like jade beads falling onto a plate: "A rare treasure from the starry sea, to be obtained by the destined one."

"My Yaoguang Immortal Palace is just here to watch the excitement."

Although she said that, a strange light flickered in her deep phoenix eyes.

Just as these three forces were each harboring their own thoughts and wary of each other—

"Hehe, fellow Daoists, since you're here, why wait outside? Why not... come in and have a cup of tea?"

A calm voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"Who?!"

The expressions of the powerful figures from the three forces changed simultaneously, and their divine senses swept towards the direction from which the sound came like a tidal wave!

However, they were horrified to discover that the moment their divine senses probed into that dark void, they vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea!
A strange chill rose from the depths of their hearts!

Just then, a figure in white appeared silently in the center of the three warships, like a ghost.

He had a handsome face, a restrained aura, and a faint smile on his lips, as if he were just an ordinary cultivator passing by.

However, the old Taoist priest of Xuandu Temple, the sect leader of the Blood Fiend Sect, and the palace-dressed woman of Yaoguang Immortal Palace all had their pupils suddenly contract and their faces showed disbelief and horror the moment they saw the person's face!
"Su...Su Chen?!"

"A terrifying immortal?!"

"No!"

"He should be called the number one on the Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking, the terrifying Immortal Ancestor!"

They never dreamed that this legendary forbidden being, who single-handedly destroyed the mysterious Tian Buyu, killed two ancient god-kings of the divine race, and stirred up the entire star sea, would actually... appear here?!
And... he seems to be... the source of that nine-colored pillar of light?!

Even if it's not.

The treasures here are definitely related to the Frightening Immortal. With the Frightening Immortal here, there's no place for them.

No wonder this huge commotion that stirred up the entire vast star sea did not bring any figures from the Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking, nor did it bring any truly top-tier forces!
It's basically just some random nobody like them running around trying to get some good fortune...

No wonder the ancient god-demon clan, the ancient demon god clan, and the ancient beast clan have all remained silent, and their strange attitudes upon hearing of their arrival here are quite surprising.

It was as if they were looking at an idiot.

"So you guys know me."

"This is going to be difficult."

"So you're just small fry at the Xuan Yu Immortal level? Killing you all doesn't seem to make me famous or establish my authority?"

Su Chen's gaze swept calmly over these so-called top experts before him, his tone indifferent yet carrying an undeniable authority.

Xuan Yuxian, in the past, no, even now, would definitely be a prominent figure standing at the top of the vast starry sea.

But right now, in his eyes, they really are no different from shrimp.

The higher you go, the fewer people there are.

This is the upper limit that a world can contain!

These Xuan Yu Immortals before us are probably the absolute overlords of their respective regions, figures capable of stirring up the situation in the Tianluan Star Domain.

"Su... Immortal Su!"

The old Taoist priest from Xuandu Temple was the first to react. He quickly bowed and saluted, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. "We...we were just passing by and had no intention of offending you! Please, Immortal, investigate!"

He inwardly groaned, wishing he had known that this god of death was here; he wouldn't have dared to come and join the fun even if he had a hundred lives!
The Blood Fiend Sect Master was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost dropped the Blood Slaughter Blade in his hand.

Although he was infamous and a renowned Xuan Yu Immortal Overlord in the Chaotic Star Domain, he was not even worthy of carrying Su Chen's shoes in front of such a truly ruthless person!
"Just passing by?" Su Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I have a feeling that you all came here for me."

"Don't dare! Don't dare!"

"You've misunderstood, Immortal!"

The powerful figures all spoke up to defend themselves, fearing that Su Chen would slaughter them all in a fit of rage.

Only the woman in palace attire from Yaoguang Immortal Palace remained calm. She gave Su Chen a deep look and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Su, Yaoguang Immortal Palace has come here with no ill intentions."

"It's just that the commotion you caused was too great, so the Palace Master ordered me to come and investigate. If there has been any disturbance, please forgive me."

Although her tone was polite, it was neither servile nor arrogant, clearly indicating that her status and background were extraordinary.

not only that.

This person does not seem to be a simple Xuan Yu Xian.

There seemed to be a power within her that allowed her to briefly touch the level of the Profound Jade Immortal Ranking, which explained why she was so composed and unassuming.

Obviously.

She couldn't grasp her own situation and status, and regarded herself as someone from the Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking, which is why she addressed him as Fellow Daoist Su.

However, does this woman even deserve to call him, the terrifying immortal, a fellow Daoist?

"The Jade Light Immortal Palace?"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow; he seemed to vaguely recognize the name.

Jin Guang Gu Xian once mentioned that this is a reclusive immortal sect with an extremely ancient lineage and unfathomable depths. Its palace master is an enigmatic and terrifying being who seems to be slumbering at the Golden Immortal realm.

Most importantly, when talking about this slumbering Golden Immortal, even the Ancient Immortal of Golden Light was somewhat fearful, clearly indicating that this slumbering Golden Immortal was even more powerful than the Daoist of Ten Thousand Woods.

That is... late-stage Golden Immortal?
Or perhaps, the state of perfect enlightenment of a Golden Immortal.

Su Chen didn't quite understand.

After all, in this day and age, Golden Immortals are rare, and the Great Luo Ancient Immortals are even more legendary. The Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking is so elusive that it's hard to find anyone on the surface except for those at the Xuan Yu Immortal level.

He wasn't very familiar with the specific realm divisions of the Golden Immortal.

Su Chen's eyes flickered slightly.

"Since you are a friend of Yaoguang Immortal Palace, I, Su, will naturally not make things difficult for you."

Su Chen's gaze lingered on the woman in palace attire for a moment before shifting away. "However, the others... are not so lucky."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes!
He didn't even make any extra movements; he simply pointed his fingers like a sword and gently tapped the warships of Xuandu Temple and Blood Fiend Sect from a distance!
laugh!laugh!
Two faint, almost negligible pale golden sword energies, like sharp swords piercing through time and space, instantly tore through the void!

"Do not--!!!"

The old Taoist priest of Xuandu Temple and the sect leader of the Blood Fiend Sect only had time to let out a desperate scream. Their protective immortal light and natal magic treasures were as fragile as paper in front of that pale golden sword energy and were instantly pierced!
puff!puff!
Two jets of blood shot into the sky!

Two powerful Xuan Yu Immortals, who were once arrogant and influential in their respective star regions, couldn't even withstand a single move from Su Chen before... their brows were pierced, and their souls were destroyed!
The disciples behind them didn't even have time to react before being reduced to a cloud of blood mist by the terrifying aftershocks of the sword energy! (End of Chapter)
