Living in the deep palace

Su Chen's expression instantly became extremely serious.

Although the primordial spirits of chaos are powerful, most of them lack true intelligence and act solely on instinct.

But the Chaos Lords are completely different!

They are kings who were born from endless chaos and possess true wisdom, and who can control a domain and enslave other primordial spirits!
Each Chaos Lord possesses terrifying strength comparable to a true Golden Immortal, as well as extremely strange and unpredictable domain abilities!
Normally, a Golden Immortal can move freely within the chaos.

However, this is on the premise of not encountering a Chaos Lord.

Obviously.

Su Chen was rather unlucky; he encountered a lord who was rare even in the Chaos Realm.

Unless absolutely necessary, Su Chen doesn't want to engage in a life-or-death battle with someone of the same level, because it's pointless.

"It seems we've been actively targeted; I'm not going anywhere."

"Another fierce battle is about to begin."

Su Chen frowned.

"Roar--!!!!!"

As if in response to Su Chen's vigilance, a terrifying roar filled with endless violence and majesty suddenly resounded from the core of that "domain"!
Immediately afterwards, the entire area trembled violently!
Countless gray tentacles, thick as mountains and formed from the purest chaotic power, swept towards Su Chen from all directions!

Each tentacle contains a terrifying will capable of distorting reality and rewriting the laws of nature!
"Outsiders!"

"Trespassing on my territory..."

"die!"

A cold yet powerful will exploded in Su Chen's sea of ​​consciousness!

Su Chen felt a blur before his eyes, and the scenery around him suddenly changed!
He was no longer in the abyss of chaos, but had arrived in a bizarre world where gravity was reversed, space was folded, and time was disordered!

Above them was the earth ablaze with black flames.

Beneath their feet was a blood-red sky with countless mountains hanging upside down.

Here, the flow of Taiyi Immortal Power within his body became extremely sluggish, as if bound by invisible shackles!
This is the domain of the Chaos Lord—the "Rebellious Domain"!
Within its domain, it is an omnipotent god!

"interesting."

Despite the bizarre scene, Su Chen showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he revealed a smile of interest.

"You think your mere rebellious laws can trap my Taiyi Dao?"

"Order it for me!"

Su Chen let out a low shout, and the dazzling Taiyi Dao Seed in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly burst forth with a myriad of rays of light!

An unparalleled will, not belonging to this world, and filled with creation and order, erupted from his body!

Buzz—! ! ! !

Centered on Su Chen's body, within a radius of a hundred feet, the inverted and chaotic bizarre world seemed to be smoothed out by an invisible hand.

It instantly returned to normal!

Gravity is restored, space is stabilized, and time flows in an orderly manner once again!

This is Su Chen's "Taiyi Domain"!
Although the area is not large, within this domain, he is the sole ruler!
Order, against chaos!
Create, and fight against subversion!

This is a battle of wills originating from the very source of the Great Dao!

"Roar?!"

The Chaos Lord was clearly not expected that Su Chen would be able to forcibly create his own "safe zone" within its domain, and couldn't help but let out a roar full of surprise and doubt!
Its enormous body, hidden at the core of the domain, finally slowly emerged!
It was an unimaginably huge gray ball of flesh!
The fleshy ball was covered with thousands upon thousands of constantly blinking blood-red eyes!
At the very top of the fleshy ball is a hideous giant mouth that takes up one-third of its volume!
"Dead! Die! Die!"

The Chaos Lord let out a mad roar!

Its thousands of blood-red eyes simultaneously unleashed blindingly bright gray beams of light!

These beams of light are not energy, but rather a manifestation of the pure "law of rebellion"!
It is enough to completely decompose and reverse any matter or energy in an instant, turning it into the most primitive chaos!
Faced with this overwhelming beam of law beams, Su Chen remained unmoved.

He slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, the Chaos Crystal Core of the "Devouring Law" that he had just refined quietly appeared.

"Use his way and give back to him."

"Swallow!"

hum!
The pitch-black crystal core, driven by Su Chen's Taiyi Immortal Power, transformed into a bottomless black vortex!

Those beams of light, powerful enough to disrupt everything, vanished without a trace the instant they entered the black vortex, as if they had disappeared into the sea!

They were all swallowed up!
"roar--?!!"

The Chaos Lord was completely stunned!
It had never seen a living being capable of devouring its power of law!
In the instant it was stunned...

Su Chen's figure moved!

With one step, he instantly traversed tens of thousands of miles and appeared in front of that giant ball of flesh!

"Your 'path' is too weak."

Su Chen's voice was flat and cold.

His fist, shimmering with nine-colored immortal light and wreathed in Taiyi runes, moved without any frills, simply and directly towards the enormous ball of flesh.

Punch out!
"Do not--!!!"

The Chaos Lord felt an unprecedented crisis of death and let out a scream of extreme terror!
But it was too late!
boom--!!!!!!!!

Order will ultimately triumph over chaos!
That enormous ball of flesh, which had reigned supreme in the abyss of chaos for countless eons, was no match for Su Chen's fist, which contained the true meaning of "Taiyi Creation."
Exploded!

It transformed into a crystal core hundreds of times larger than any of the previous ones, its entire body a chaotic color, seemingly containing a complete universe.
"Chaos Royal Crystal"!
Su Chen reached out and drew the royal crystal into his hand, feeling the vast and boundless power of the primordial laws contained within it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"I'm just one step away from becoming a Taiyi Xuanxian or a Tianji Xian!"

"I hope I can gain something."

"With my current combat strength, I'm at the level of an ordinary early-stage Golden Immortal. Those who have just grasped the Golden Immortal Dao are not difficult to kill at all. I wonder what level I am at, Heavenly Immortal Queen?"

Having slain the Chaos Lord and cleared the last obstacle from the waterway, the road ahead is now wide open.

Without the slightest delay, Su Chen transformed into a streak of light and, following the increasingly clear navigational guidance within the "Fire Seed" crystal, rapidly flew towards the deepest part of the Chaos Abyss.

The further he went, the more he could feel the surrounding chaotic air currents becoming thinner and thinner.

Instead, there is a purer, more fundamental "nothingness".

It is not an emptiness where nothing exists, but an absolute nothingness that seems to contain all possibilities and transcend all realities.

Here, even the laws seem to have lost their meaning.

Su Chen could clearly feel that his Taiyi Domain was slowly becoming unstable under the assimilation of this "nothingness".

"What a terrifying place!"

Su Chen felt a chill run down his spine. "Is this the boundary between all reality and all nothingness?"

He knew that the legendary "City of Nothingness" was almost upon him. Finally, after passing through the last layer of viscous, almost tangible, barrier of nothingness...

A magnificent scene, enough to leave any living being speechless, suddenly appeared before his eyes!
All that could be seen ahead was an endless, pure void.

A magnificent city, so vast that words cannot describe it, floats silently there.

That city had no walls, no boundaries.

It seems to be a collection of buildings from countless different civilizations, styles, and laws, pieced together and blended together in a way that appears chaotic yet subtly embodies some profound truth!

Some buildings are exquisitely carved and painted, with a mystical aura surrounding them.

Some buildings are ancient towers with sharp lines and a metallic sheen.

Some buildings are illusory castles that are constructed entirely of energy and light and constantly change shape.

Furthermore, some buildings, whose forms and structures were completely beyond Su Chen's comprehension, seemed to be projections from a higher dimension!

This city floats quietly in the void, exuding a contradictory yet harmonious, timeless beauty that transcends time and reality.

This is
The City of Nothingness!
An era of change, the last refuge for generations of survivors from all realms!

"finally reached."

Su Chen looked at the impossible, miraculous city before him, his heart filled with endless shock.

He took a deep breath, calmed his turbulent emotions, and slowly flew towards the city.

However, just as he was about to reach the edge of the city...

A translucent, towering humanoid silhouette, seemingly woven from pure lines of law, appeared silently before him, blocking his path.

The humanoid silhouette had no facial features or aura, but Su Chen could sense a will from it that was more ancient and majestic than any other being he had encountered before.

"Halt, you who come!"

A grand voice, devoid of gender or emotion, and seemingly the very voice of the laws of the universe, resounded in Su Chen's mind.

"This is the city of nothingness, the place where all worlds end."

Only true 'survivors' are allowed to enter.

Su Chen's gaze fell on the enormous humanoid silhouette. He knew that this was the gatekeeper of this eternal city.

“What is a true ‘survivor’?” Su Chen asked calmly.

“Show me,” the gatekeeper’s voice remained calm, “Show me a ‘reality’ that is unique to you and does not depend on any existing laws of the universe.”

"If you can do it, the city gates will open for you."

If you cannot

The goalkeeper didn't say anything more, but his meaning was self-evident.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen understood.

So this was the test to enter the City of Nothingness.

The test is not of strength or cultivation, but of a living being's will and the independence of its existence.

Any being that exists in accordance with the laws of its mother universe, no matter how powerful, is, in the eyes of the gatekeeper, merely a "part" of that universe, not an independent "individual".

Once their mother universe is destroyed, they will also disappear, and cannot be considered true "survivors".

Looking at the ancient gatekeeper before him, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

This test, though seemingly simple, is in fact incredibly difficult.

It is likely that countless powerful individuals who fled from their respective universes ultimately fell at this final step.

Is this a 'reality' that belongs only to me?

A confident smile curved at the corners of Su Chen's lips.

He slowly closed his eyes.

It did not unleash any earth-shattering power, nor did it employ any mysterious or unpredictable supernatural abilities.

He simply brought forth a memory from the depths of his consciousness, a memory that had been sealed away for a long time but had never truly been forgotten.

Scenes completely different from this cultivation universe unfolded slowly behind Su Chen like flowing scrolls.

There is a steel forest that rises from the ground and towers into the clouds.

There are endless streams of tin boxes speeding across the ground.

There are neon lights that illuminate the night, more dazzling than the stars.

There are ordinary people who struggle to make a living, their faces radiating joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

There, there are no immortal arts, no supernatural powers, and no legends of immortality.

There, there is only science, only mortals, and only a blue, ordinary yet magnificent world called "Earth".

The gatekeeper's enormous, translucent body trembled violently!
His non-existent "eyes" were fixed on the strange "reality" behind Su Chen, a reality he had never seen or understood before.

He could clearly sense that the underlying physical laws, the social structure, and the forms and meanings of life in that world were completely different from everything he knew about the universe!
That was a truly independent and entirely new concept of civilization!

"What...what is this?"

For the first time, the gatekeeper's ancient and majestic voice carried a hint of disbelief and shock!

"An unrecorded civilization..."

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice carrying a hint of inexplicable emotion and approval.

"You passed."

"Welcome to the City of Nothingness, survivors from an unknown reality."

Before he finished speaking, his enormous figure, towering tens of thousands of feet tall, slowly retreated to the sides.

A road leading to that eternal city appeared before Su Chen.

Passing through the invisible gate constructed of laws, Su Chen officially stepped into the City of Nothingness.

In an instant, he felt as if he had come from a desolate deep sea to an incredibly noisy and bustling super world!
Unlike the absolute nothingness outside, the city's interior is filled with all sorts of strange energies and stable laws.

These laws are independent of each other, yet they coexist in a marvelous way, without interfering with each other.

On the wide streets, all sorts of strange creatures that Su Chen had never heard of or seen before came and went.

There are elemental giants who are hundreds of feet tall and whose entire bodies are made of burning lava.

There are ethereal beings with a light and graceful figure, a pair of translucent dragonfly wings on their backs, and a fresh scent of grass and trees emanating from their bodies.

There is an information life form that is composed entirely of data streams and light and shadow, and whose form is constantly changing.

Su Chen even spotted several demons piloting grotesque biological warships, exuding a strong abyssal aura!
These are all descendants of people from different universes and different civilizations!
They were all survivors who had managed to escape to this place after their respective worlds came to an end. (End of Chapter)
