Living in the deep palace

Golden blood kept spitting out from Su Chen's mouth, and his snow-white clothes were already stained with a dazzling gold.

The void behind him, unable to withstand this terrifying power, began to collapse inch by inch, turning into a deep chaos!

He was like a towering creator god, single-handedly withstanding the apocalyptic catastrophe that was enough to destroy the entire star field!
"This is impossible!!!"

Within the God-Slaying Puppet, the voice of the master behind the "gate" carried a genuine sense of shock and disbelief for the first time!
"The power of creation?! How could you, an ant, possibly control such a level of power?!"

"This has already touched upon the authority of the 'Dominator' realm!"

He couldn't understand it!
He couldn't believe it!
How could a being who hasn't even stepped into the third realm possibly unleash such a forbidden technique that even he finds terrifying?!

"nothing is impossible"

Su Chen's voice, though weak, was full of indomitable will.

In my world

"I am the Heavenly Dao!"

He roared again, pouring the last bit of his original Dao power into that uncertain dimensional nascent form!

boom--! ! ! !

That dimensional nascent form suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light!
It actually managed to completely burst that mass of annihilation and darkness!
Destruction ultimately failed to defeat rebirth!
In the instant the annihilation of darkness was burst open, a world-destroying energy storm, like an out-of-control cosmic torrent, swept wildly in all directions!

The protective array of Taiyi Immortal City could not even withstand a single breath before it shattered with a deafening roar in the face of this storm!

"It's over!" Jin Guang Gu Xian's eyes were filled with despair.

However, just as the destructive storm was about to engulf the entire immortal city.

Su Chen's figure, already stained crimson with golden blood, once again stood in front of everyone.

He spread his arms, and his not-so-tall body seemed to transform into an eternal dam protecting the entire world at that moment!
"Taiyi Golden Body, suppress!"

At this moment, Su Chen's figure seemed to have completely merged with the Taiyi Immortal City behind him and the millions of living beings within it!
boom--! ! ! !

The destructive storm crashed violently against his seemingly fragile body!

……

……

at the same time.

A mysterious dimensional space, countless billions of miles away from the Tianxu Starfield.

The gathering place of the Golden Immortal Alliance.

On that enormous water mirror, crafted from the "Heavenly Mystery Stone," everything that was happening in the Heavenly Void Starfield was clearly displayed.

"Is this the true power of the master behind the 'gate'?"

Looking at the God-Slaying Puppet radiating endless destructive aura in the water mirror, the Golden Immortal of Slaughter's face, which was always filled with murderous intent, showed a solemn expression for the first time.

He could clearly sense the power contained within that celestial puppet, a power that even he dared not easily touch!

"What a terrifying law of annihilation! This power has completely surpassed the realm of Golden Immortals and is infinitely close to the legendary 'supreme' realm!" The Golden Immortal Miaoyin also put away her usual charm, her pretty face filled with horror.

"Amitabha." The ancient Buddha of the Western Paradise clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, "This is a sign of the end of Dharma, the beginning of a great calamity."

Only Xuan Yuan Jin Xian remained calm. His deep eyes were fixed on the white-clad figure in the water mirror, who was fighting against the apocalyptic disaster single-handedly. His eyes gleamed with an inexplicable light.

"To transform oneself into a world, to create something great from nothingness—what a remarkable Su Chen, what a magnificent Dao of Taiyi!" he murmured to himself, his voice filled with endless admiration and an indescribable sense of anticipation.

"Brother Xuan Yuan!" Immortal Lu Jue suddenly turned his head to look at Immortal Xuan Yuan and said in a deep voice, "This battle is no longer something he can handle alone! Shouldn't we make our move?!"

"If we allow the divine sense of the master behind that 'gate' to descend and completely control the Heavenly Puppet, the entire vast star sea will be plunged into chaos and death!"

However, Xuan Yuan Jin Xian slowly shook his head.

"Make a move?" He gave a wry smile. "Fellow Daoist Lu Jue, what do you think we could possibly achieve if we made a move now?"

"That celestial puppet has been corrupted by the divine sense of the master behind the 'gate,' and its power essence has undergone a transformation. If we approach it, we risk having our Dao foundation eroded by the law of annihilation, or even being assimilated!"

"Are we just going to stand by and watch?!" the Golden Immortal of Slaughter roared in frustration.

"No." Xuan Yuan Jin Xian's gaze returned to the water mirror and landed on Su Chen's resolute figure.

"This is not our battle, but his trial."

"This child is blessed with great fortune and has embarked on a path of 'Taiyi' that no one has ever walked before. He is the only variable and the only hope of this era."

"If he survives this battle, he will truly be qualified to contend with those behind the 'Gate' and become the hope of all of us."

If he loses

Xuan Yuan Jin Xian didn't say anything more, but everyone understood what he meant.

If Su Chen loses, it means that in this era, no power can stop the arrival of the being behind the "door".

What awaits the entire vast starry sea is eternal darkness and annihilation.

Therefore, they cannot take action, nor dare they take action.

They could only be spectators.

Watching that young man, who carried the hopes of an entire era, face alone a terrifying enemy that could make even a Golden Immortal despair.

……

……

Another unknown star field.

Within the magnificent divine palace, the Heavenly Emperor Di Xuan was also watching this earth-shattering battle through an ancient bronze mirror.

His face betrayed no emotion, but deep within his eyes, which shone with divine light, lay a profound gravity.

"The Master Behind the Gate: God-Slaying Heavenly Puppet Su Chen"

He muttered to himself, "This game of chess is getting more and more interesting."

One of his trusted generals couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, Su Chen is now at his last gasp. Should we..."

"No." Di Xuan slowly raised his hand to stop him.

"Now is not the time."

His gaze seemed to pierce through the endless void, landing on Su Chen, and then on the terrifying celestial puppet.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind."

"I'd like to see which of these two will have the last laugh."

A mysterious smile appeared on Di Xuan's lips.

He, too, chose to be an observer. He was waiting, waiting for the perfect opportunity to turn the tide.

boom--!!!!!!

The destructive storm finally crashed down on Su Chen without reservation.

puff!
Su Chen's body was flung away like a leaf in a storm! Fine cracks appeared on his indestructible Taiyi Golden Body, and pale golden blood gushed out wildly as if it were free!

His consciousness was plunged into a brief darkness at that moment.

Is it finished?
Do not!
not yet!
Just as Su Chen's immortal soul was about to be completely devoured by that endless power of annihilation!
Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, the Taiyi Dao Seed, already riddled with cracks, suddenly erupted with its final, and most dazzling, light!

Buzz—! ! ! !

A vast aura, originating from the very source of life and filled with an indomitable and undying will, suddenly awakened from the deepest part of the Dao Seed!
"You want to devour me?!"

"You're not qualified!"

A youthful yet supremely authoritative voice slowly resounded in Su Chen's mind!

It is the spirit of the Tree of Immortality!
At the most critical moment, it was forcibly awakened by Su Chen's will to survive!
"Use my Dao Tree as fuel! Ignite my flame of immortality!"

"In this world, let us bear witness to eternity!"

boom--!!!!!!!!

Within Su Chen's already dilapidated body, the phantom of a towering tree, tens of thousands of feet tall, blotting out the sky and radiating endless nine-colored divine light, suddenly appeared!

That was no longer just a phantom!

Rather, it is the manifestation of the very essence of the Tree of Immortality!
Each leaf of the Dao Tree seems to carry a complete world! Every branch of the Dao Tree flows with the purest laws of life!
It is rooted in Su Chen's immortal aperture universe, but its canopy seems to stretch out to cover the entire vast starry sea!
"Burn!"

With a low shout from the spirit of the Dao Tree, imbued with supreme Daoist rhyme!
That towering, nine-colored tree suddenly burst into flames at that moment!

What is burning is not ordinary fire, but the primordial life fire accumulated by the Longevity Tree over millions of years!
The flames were nine-colored, without any scorching heat or violence, but instead filled with endless warmth and vitality!

Wherever the flames passed, Su Chen's tattered Taiyi Golden Body rapidly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The Taiyi Dao Seed in his sea of ​​consciousness, riddled with cracks, shone brightly once more under the nourishment of the flames!
His nearly depleted Taiyi Immortal Essence was instantly restored to its peak, as if a long-awaited rain had fallen after a drought! It was even stronger than before!

A new power, stronger and more terrifying than ever before, seemingly capable of reversing life and death and controlling reincarnation, suddenly awakened within Su Chen's body!

"This is this?!"

Within the God-Slaying Puppet, the voice of the master behind the "gate" carried a trace of genuine fear for the first time!

He could clearly sense that the power Su Chen was unleashing at this moment was completely beyond his comprehension!

That pure, unadulterated power, like the first wisp of "life" at the beginning of the universe, is the absolute nemesis of its invincible "power of annihilation"!

"escape!"

This was the only thought in the mind of the person behind the "door"!
Without hesitation, he harnessed the tattered body of the God-Slaying Puppet, turned around, and was about to tear through the void and escape into the world behind the "gate"!

however

"Want to leave now?"

"late!"

A cold, authoritative voice sounded behind him.

The master behind the "door" suddenly turned around and saw the most terrifying yet most magnificent scene it had ever witnessed in its life.

Su Chen, bathed in the nine-colored divine fire of life, slowly raised his right hand.

In his palm, an unimaginably huge, ancient stone disc, its entire body a chaotic color, its edges engraved with images of the sun, moon, stars, and the cycle of all spirits, was slowly taking shape.

Taiyi Reincarnation Disc!
"In the name of immortality, I grant you eternal reincarnation!"

Su Chen's voice was like a divine decree from the heavens, judging this demon from another world!
The Taiyi Reincarnation Disc in his hand, carrying supreme divine power capable of suppressing all heavens and obliterating eternity, was aimed at the God-Slaying Puppet that was frantically fleeing.
They crushed them mercilessly!

"No--!!!!!"

The person behind the "door" let out a scream of extreme terror!
He could feel that all connections between himself and this world, and between himself and this puppet, were being forcibly severed under the pressure of the Wheel of Reincarnation! Stripped away!
His wisp of immortal divine thought that descended here melted away as quickly as ice and snow under the scouring power of reincarnation!
"Su Chen, I'll remember you."

"The day my true form descends, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Leaving behind a final roar filled with endless resentment and unwillingness, the divine consciousness of the master behind the "gate" was finally completely obliterated by the Taiyi Reincarnation Disc!

Boom!

Having lost the control of divine will, the enormous God-Slaying Puppet finally lost all its energy and, like a puppet with its strings cut, slowly fell from the sky.

A massive shadow loomed over the entire Taiyi Immortal City.

The remains of the God-Slaying Puppet, resembling an ancient divine mountain, plummeted straight down towards the bustling immortal city below, carrying unparalleled kinetic energy.

If it were allowed to fall, even if it had lost all its energy, its enormous mass and impact would be enough to completely raze the entire immortal city, along with the millions of living beings within it, to the ground!
"No!"

In the city, countless cultivators watched the approaching steel behemoth, their eyes once again filled with despair.

They were just pulled back from the brink of doomsday, are they about to fall into the abyss again in the blink of an eye?
However, at this moment.

Above the sky, the white-clad figure bathed in nine-colored divine fire moved.

Su Chen's face remained pale. Burning the Dao Tree's essence and unleashing the "Taiyi Reincarnation Disc" placed a tremendous burden on him.

But his pale golden eyes remained bright, still filled with undeniable majesty.

He looked at the massive, fallen wreckage and simply extended a single finger.

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.”

He uttered calm words.

A faint, almost negligible wisp of nine-colored celestial light flashed and disappeared from his fingertips.

laugh--!
That nine-colored celestial light, though seemingly faint, seemed to contain the supreme mystery of disintegrating all things and returning them to their origin.

It silently imprinted itself on the massive remains of the God-Slaying Puppet.

next moment.

Amidst the stunned silence of everyone's gazes.

That terrifying colossal statue, forged from an unknown divine metal and indestructible, even impervious to damage by Golden Immortals, was now like a sand sculpture weathered by the elements.
It decomposes and dissipates silently, starting from the smallest structure!
It transformed into countless golden and black specks of light.

Ultimately, it vanished completely into nothingness.

It's like it never existed.

After doing all this, the nine-colored divine fire and the illusory image of the Longevity Tree behind Su Chen slowly receded and merged back into his body.

The aura within his body receded rapidly like a tide, and the terrifying pressure that could make even a Golden Immortal tremble also dissipated.

puff!
Su Chen could no longer hold on, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden blood. His body, like a kite with a broken string, fell helplessly from the sky. (End of this chapter)
