Living in the deep palace

"it is good!"

"Fellow Daoist Tian Shang! To be able to fight against the legendary 'Taiyi Golden Immortal' alongside you, old ghost, is enough to make our acquaintance worthwhile! Let this brat see the terrifying brilliance that we remnants of the 'old era' can unleash!"

"So what if he's a Taiyi Golden Immortal? We are also giants among immortals, dominating an era! What are we afraid of?! Kill!"

boom--!!!!!!!!

The illusory figure of the Immortal Lord of Myriad Illusions also burst into flames at this moment!

The origin of his "world of myriad illusions" transformed into a pure "idealistic" power capable of turning "nothingness" into "reality"!
One is the ultimate "zeroing out," representing the end of "matter"!

One is the ultimate "illusion," representing the collapse of "concepts"!

These two completely different, yet equally terrifying, forces of "destruction" began to merge wildly under the relentless burning of the two immortal giants!
Buzz—!!!! ...

A chaotic "singularity," whose color cannot be described in any words and whose properties cannot be defined by any concept, slowly condensed and took shape in the center of the two!
That "singularity" contains an ultimate paradox that is enough to confuse "cause and effect", cause "logic" to collapse, and make even the "Great Way" contradict itself!
This was the strongest and final blow they had created by risking everything!
They want to use this "paradox of the Dao" to corrupt Su Chen's newly born "new Heavenly Dao"!
As long as one can leave an unsolvable flaw in his perfect "Taiyi Universe".

Therefore, Su Chen's "Taiyi Heavenly Dao" will be "flawed" as a result! At best, his cultivation level will drop, and he will never make any progress! At worst, his Great Dao will collapse, backfiring on him!
This attack was so malicious and so terrifying that it would make any giant wary or even fearful!
In the distance, the mysterious white-robed youth watched the "Paradox of the Dao" that was constantly condensing and sublimating. For the first time, a genuine interest appeared in his clear eyes.

"interesting."

"Taking 'decay' as 'real' and 'illusion' as 'false'."

"An attempt to contaminate the existence or non-existence of the 'primordial' with the paradox of 'truth or falsehood'."

"These two little guys do... have some of the wisdom of ants."

He was full of anticipation for the outcome of the upcoming battle.

At this moment, Su Chen looked at the "paradox of the Dao" that was enough to threaten the foundation of his "Heavenly Dao," and a trace of solemnity finally appeared on his usually calm face.

"Burning oneself to the utmost, elevating oneself to the highest path."

"To transform oneself into a calamity of the Dao."

“As ‘ashes of calamity,’ your awareness is commendable.”

Su Chen's voice rang out calmly, as if he were giving his opponent a final show of respect.

immediately.

He finally moved.

He no longer spoke words that became law, nor did he demonstrate any supernatural powers.

He simply raised his right hand slowly.

Then, he gently grasped the "paradox of the Dao" that had been condensed to its limit and was about to explode completely.

The movements were gentle and casual.

It was as if one were trying to pluck a speck of dust from the corner of a garment.

however!
It's just this simple handshake!
At the very end of time, this "Sea of ​​Time," which had frozen countless eras, suddenly trembled!
Then, it fell into absolute, eternal stillness!

Time, space, laws, energy...

Everything was forcibly frozen in that instant by Su Chen's nonchalant grasp!
The "paradox of the Dao," which should have unleashed devastating power, remained suspended quietly in mid-air.

The violent, all-encompassing power above was firmly imprisoned within by an even more supreme will originating from the "Primordial Era," preventing even the slightest leakage!
"Varied……"

"..."

The immortal souls of the Myriad Illusions Immortal Lord and the Heavenly Grief Ancestor, which had long since transformed into flames of light, suddenly trembled violently! Their will, filled with madness and determination, was reduced to nothing but endless emptiness at this moment!

They can't understand!
They just can't understand it!
Why was it that their strongest attack, unleashed after risking everything, was so utterly vulnerable in the face of their opponent?!

It's like a child throwing a punch with all their might, only to have it easily blocked by an adult with a single finger.

That absolute, insurmountable gap, originating from the level of life and the dimension of power, prevented them from even feeling despair!

It's just like……

"Facing the Great Luo!!"

The two were terrified.

however.

Su Chen didn't give them any more time to think.

His gaze remained calmly fixed on the "paradox of the Tao" that he had imprisoned in mid-air.

Then, his clenched fist slowly opened.

"Disperse."

Buzz—!!!! ...

A resounding cry echoed throughout the entire Sea of ​​Time!
That killing move, which embodied the life essence of two immortal giants, vanished in an instant.

It's as if it had never been created.

"Do not……"

The burning immortal souls of the Myriad Illusions Immortal Lord and the Heavenly Sorrow Ancestor emitted their last wisp of will, filled with confusion and resentment.

Immediately, under the same "Disperse" mantra that also affected them, they completely turned into two wisps of green smoke and dissipated into the sky above this Sea of ​​Time.

Throughout the entire conversation, Su Chen only uttered three words.

Two celestial giants who had traversed countless eras and left behind endless legends in the vast sea of ​​stars had already perished and their souls scattered!

This is the power of the "Taiyi Golden Immortal"!
This is the power of the "Heavenly Way"!
After doing all this, Su Chen slowly lowered his right hand.

He could clearly feel that after absorbing the pure "Dao" and "Origin" of those two immortal giants, his newly born "Taiyi Universe" became more and more stable and perfect.

"Not bad!"

"The Taiyi Golden Immortal is indeed powerful enough!"

"Equivalent to the Xuan Yu Immortal in the three realms, completely surpassing the four realms of the normal Golden Immortal, even the giants of the immortal realm are as insignificant as ants."

Su Chen was quite satisfied.

He is now probably standing at the pinnacle of true top-tier combat power in the Star Sea.

The only one he could be wary of was the yet-to-be-appeared Great Luo, Cang Gu.

"But... how many Great Luo and Cang Gu are left now?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes.

After that, I stopped thinking about it.

He slowly turned around, his eyes falling once again on the mysterious white-clad youth.

Let's go take a look now.

This young man was no longer ordinary; he seemed to be a universe in himself, a vast starry sea.

For a fleeting moment, Su Chen even saw a phantom of a world like the Five Great Star Seas within the young man's body.

"This……"

Su Chen was stunned.

At this moment, the boy's face no longer held only curiosity and nostalgia.

For the first time, a hint of heartfelt approval appeared in those clear eyes.

He nodded slightly at Su Chen.

It was as if a strict teacher was seeing his best student hand in a perfect answer sheet.

“Not bad!” “It was worth it for me to plant that Tree of Immortality in this Starry Sea World back then. It seems that I have indeed cultivated a good successor.”

"Tsk, tsk."

"It's quite a sad story."

"Back then, the successor I carefully nurtured failed at the last moment when he was about to attain the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, but you succeeded."

"It seems that this star sea can be extended for another ten epochs, or even longer."

The boy in white chuckled softly.

Su Chen was stunned when he heard this.

Zuo Qingcang... is this person's disciple? That person is the strongest in the Ten Eras, ranked number one among those who reached the top.

The arrangements he left behind are still influencing the political situation today.

Who is this person! ?
……

……

On the Sea of ​​Time, atop the Chaos Lotus Platform.

Su Chen and the mysterious white-clad youth faced each other from a distance.

One of them is a newly promoted "Taiyi Golden Immortal," who is himself a walking universe of heavenly laws, with unparalleled majesty.

One is a mysterious "ferryman," with an ethereal form and a misty aura, seemingly not belonging to any time or space, yet transcending all things.

The atmosphere fell into a strange silence for a moment.

"senior……"

Su Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart caused by the other party's casual finger pointing at him, and spoke first, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry and a hint of heartfelt respect, "Who exactly are you?"

He couldn't understand who else in this world, besides the "World Tree" itself, could have such a profound, seemingly shared, connection with his "Tree of Immortality."

The young man in white slowly shook his head upon hearing this.

His clear eyes remained fixed on the illusory image of the Dao Tree behind Su Chen, which pierced through "creation" and "end," as if looking through the tree at an ancient memory that had been buried for countless epochs.

"I don't have a name."

His voice was soft and ethereal, like a wind chime gently tinkling in the quietest night.

"Or rather, my 'name' has already passed away."

"It can't even be mentioned!"

"Taiyi Golden Immortals can indeed dominate in this unspeakable third realm, but they are not qualified to know these secrets."

"If you want to know, you will find out in the future, but not now!"

"I am simply driven by an obsession that refuses to be silenced, and I want to cultivate a second Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"I was the first Taiyi Golden Immortal back then!"

The boy's words were mysterious and full of endless enigmas.

A Taiyi Golden Immortal?!
The white-robed youth before them was actually a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
Moreover, it seems that at his peak, his realm was even above Zuo Qingcang's, far surpassing him.

Just as a storm was brewing in Su Chen's heart.

The white-clad youth withdrew his gaze and then raised his illusory right hand.

In his palm, a seemingly ordinary, yet seemingly containing all the "possibilities" before the creation of the universe... tender green leaf, silently emerged.

There were no laws or Daoist principles on those tender leaves.

There is only one kind, pure to the extreme... the aura of "life" and "beginning".

“Your ‘Taiyi Universe’ has been born, but it is still missing the most fundamental ‘root’.”

"This is the last... gift I can give you."

"Take it with you, and go."

"Go and complete the mission that 'he' failed to complete."

"My existence is solely to await the birth of the second Taiyi Golden Immortal and to offer this gift!"

"Go!"

“Let the branches and leaves of this ‘tree’ once again spread out this… long-decayed… sky.”

Before he could finish speaking, the boy's illusory hand gently waved.

The tender green leaf transformed into a stream of light, silently merging into the illusory image of the "Tree of Immortality" behind Su Chen.

boom--!!!!!!!!

In an instant!
Su Chen felt his newly born "Taiyi Universe," which was still in a state of "chaos," suddenly tremble!
It was as if the parched earth had finally received its first ray of sweet rain from the "primordial chaos"!
That tender, emerald-green leaf transformed into boundless, primordial "creation" power, frantically nourishing the foundation of his newborn universe!
What would have taken countless years to slowly evolve into "the chaos of heaven and earth, the vastness of the universe," was at this moment, rapidly...perfected! and stabilized!

Su Chen could clearly feel that his "Taiyi Golden Immortal" realm had finally become truly and completely stable at this moment!

And when he recovered from the shock of this enormous gift...

The figure of that mysterious white-clad youth had become incredibly ethereal and transparent.

It seems that it could disappear with the wind at any moment.

"Senior!" Su Chen called out hurriedly, "Will we ever meet again?"

"Will do."

The white-clad boy still wore that warm smile on his face.

"When you let the branches of this 'tree' truly touch that 'door'."

"I will wait for you at the end of the 'tree'..."

Leaving behind these words, filled with even more mysteries, the figure of the white-clad youth finally and completely transformed into specks of emerald green fluorescence, dissipating into the sky above this eternally still Sea of ​​Time.

It was as if it had never existed.

Only Su Chen remained, standing quietly on the chaotic lotus platform, speechless for a long time.

He had too many questions in his mind.

Above the vast sea of ​​stars, there seems to be an even larger world, and a more advanced cultivation system...

Composing himself, Su Chen suppressed all his doubts for the time being.

He was preparing to leave this "end of time" and return to the vast and ever-changing starry sea.

However, right now!

A long sigh, one he knew all too well, filled with a will of "self" and "dominance," suddenly and unexpectedly echoed in this desolate world.

"Ugh……"

"Based on the 'Primordial Beginning,' incorporating the source of the 'World Tree,' and merging with the 'Immortal Emperor's Dao... "

"Unexpectedly, this 'dead end' that even Zuo Qingcang failed to reach actually... was successfully traversed by you."

"Truly... the younger generation is formidable, truly formidable!"

With this sigh, a figure dressed in a simple blue Taoist robe, with a graceful figure whose aura blended perfectly with the surrounding chaotic void, slowly stepped out from the rushing river of time!

He simply ignored the terrifying power of the River of Time, which was enough to tear apart even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and leisurely descended upon this still Sea of ​​Time!

The newcomer was none other than the mysterious Taoist who had guided Su Chen to this place in the ruins of the "Lost Divine Kingdom"!
Daoist Cang! (End of Chapter)
