Living in the deep palace

Su Chen continues to stand at the end of time.

He closed his eyes to rest.

At this moment, as his Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit continued to solidify, he could clearly sense that the rules of the vast star sea had undergone some kind of change.

For example, the once turbulent river of time became docile in his presence.

Somewhere.

He had a feeling.

Now, he could easily go back to the past and rewrite the future if he wanted to.

After Zuo Qingcang's demise, he broke the ironclad rule of time that "no powerful being can interfere with the past and the future."

Do not!
It can't be said that this rule was broken.

Because Su Chen clearly sensed that a hole had appeared in the vast starry sea, and he could not truly return to the past until the hole closed.

If he were to actually do that, it would only draw the creatures outside the door in, drawn by his aura, to descend upon him.

Su Chen slowly raised his head.

His eyes gazed towards the highest point of the starry sky!

That was a hole left over from the era of Zuo Qingcang, ten epochs ago, the root of the chaos of the collapsing sky, a door that none of the nine subsequent ascensionists could fix.

And this gate has now fully erupted at the end of this divine era.

"I want to go back in time to make up for the regrets..."

"The premise is..."

Su Chen withdrew his right hand, the tenderness and lingering in his eyes fading away, replaced by a cold killing intent!
The door opened once again.

Perhaps, thirty years from now.

Perhaps, three hundred years from now.

Or perhaps, just three short years later!
This still unstable "door" is enough to allow those terrifying creatures from outside the "door" to completely descend!
Until then.

In the First Era, the cataclysmic disaster that nearly buried the entire civilization will descend once again!

"In that era, Zuo Qingcang turned the tide."

Su Chen's voice was cold and resolute.

"I am a part of this era!"

"No matter what, I cannot stand by and watch this world of stars be completely devoured and destroyed by that thing outside the 'gate'!"

And at the very moment when Su Chen's supreme will to protect this world completely merged with his own "Taiyi Heavenly Dao"!

boom--!!!!!!!!!!

A vast, boundless malice, filled with resentment, greed, and destruction, surged toward him through the still unstable "gateway," enough to make any immortal giant tremble.

That malice was neither energy nor a law.

Rather, it is a purer form of spiritual pollution and curse directed at the "Way of Heaven" itself!
It wants to corrupt Su Chen's newly born "New Heavenly Dao"!
"Um?!"

Su Chen suddenly looked up, his eyes transforming into two heavenly blades capable of cleaving through eternity, fiercely meeting the malice that crossed realms!
Through the hole, he made eye contact with a dark figure hidden in the darkness behind the "door"!

"The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus!"

"Heaven remains silent!"

In Su Chen's eyes, killing intent surged instantly!

He recognized the other person!
The other party is the mastermind behind "Tian Buyu"!

This guy is extremely troublesome!
They clashed several times!

"The new Heavenly Dao..."

"I never expected it to be you!"

"Tsk, tsk."

A will filled with mockery and cruelty emanated from the dark shadow.

"What a delicious aroma..."

"Perfect timing to settle both old and new scores then, hehe, I can't wait to flatten this galaxy and see the past you remember!"

"Once this 'gate' is completely secure..."

"I will be the first to descend upon this world."

"Then, I will personally pluck your tender 'Heavenly Dao' head!"

"I will transform you, along with this wretched universe you protect, into fertilizer for my 'Nether Lotus'!"

Threat!

A naked, undisguised death threat from the ultimate being behind the "door"!
however.

Faced with this threat, Su Chen simply raised his right hand.

boom!
With a thought, the "Primordial" power, powerful enough to seal away eternity, utterly crushed the malice that had crossed realms! Purification!
"Um!?"

"What kind of strange power is this?"

“How did you do that!”

"Logically speaking, the lingering will left by Zuo Qingcang has disappeared. Now, mine is enough to annihilate any Golden Immortal, or even a giant among immortals!"

"How did you become so powerful?!"

From behind the "door," a muffled groan of embarrassment and anger seemed to come from.

even.

It was also filled with disbelief.

It should be noted that during their last encounter, Su Chen was only a minor Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking level in front of him.

Although he was extremely powerful on the Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking, he was still just a minor figure in the second realm. If it weren't for the obstruction of the tainted sun, he could have crushed the opponent with a single thought.

And now.

How long has it been? How did the opponent become so strong?

"What level is it?"

"Late stage of Golden Immortal, still a giant among immortals."

"No!"

"It even feels like he's surpassed the Golden Immortal Perfection level. Has this kid achieved the fourth realm, the Great Luo Immortal?"

"How can this be!"

Outside the vast chaos, the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus appeared somewhat incredulous.

To know.

To successfully advance to even a minor realm of the Golden Immortal, one needs to accumulate experience over 100,000 to 1 million years.

And this kid went from being a Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking level to an Immortal Giant in what seems like less than a thousand years?
"What's most terrifying is that his power seems to be particularly effective against the chaotic power outside the door..."

"He cultivated to the legendary 'Taiyi' level?"

Minglian's expression became increasingly unpredictable.

even.

It was filled with a hint of fear.

Taiyi! The legendary realm, the legendary ranking, now seems to have awakened the deepest fear in his memory.

"Nether Lotus, Oh, Nether Lotus!"

"Now it depends on whether you can conquer the vast starry sea and arrive faster, or whether I can grow faster."

"Just wait and see."

Su Chen murmured.

The next moment, he took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the sky above this eternally still Sea of ​​Time.

He's gone!
"Humph!"

"Boy!"

"You dare to provoke me? You're asking for death!"

Anger flashed in Minglian's eyes.

Who is he?
He is the Underworld Lotus!
Life in the Fifth Realm!

Back then, an incarnation descended upon the starry sky, allowing the "Holy Lord" who had fallen to the death of Zuo Qingcang to exist!
"You underestimate me? You're asking for death!"

The Nether Lotus roared in fury.

Even if one cultivates to the Taiyi realm and becomes a Golden Immortal, so what? One is still just a nobody in the third realm.

Rumble!
At this moment, Minglian closed his eyes, and within his body, a universe that was no less vast than the star sea where Su Chen was, and even larger, slowly emerged.

Among them, there were life energies comparable to the highest level of Golden Immortals, or even giants of immortals, or even more powerful ones.

"Send down a Heavenly Calamity, descend upon me, and kill that damned little thing!"

The Nether Lotus bestowed a divine decree within the starry universe of her body.

Rumble!
moment.

There was a Heavenly Calamity, a being comparable to a Great Luo Immortal, who responded to it.

When a true immortal falls, they leave behind a vast star realm in the boundless sea of ​​stars! And this universe of the boundless sea of ​​stars is nothing more than the "immortal aperture" within the body of a fifth-realm cultivator.

The Lord of the Star Sea Universe, where Su Chen resides, has already perished.

The only difference is that Minglian is still alive and her inner universe still exists.

……

……

When Su Chen's figure appeared once again at the Taiyi Dao Palace, which had long become the center of faith in the vast starry sea.

The entire universe seemed to tremble suddenly!
Previously, the shattering of the "tainted sun" and the appearance of the "dark hole" that spanned the cosmos only filled the hearts of those top experts with speculation and fear of the unknown.

So, at this moment, when Su Chen, the "Master of Taiyi Dao" who single-handedly created the era of "Great Dao Contention," returns!
All the guesses seemed to have been... confirmed!
boom--!!!!!!!!!!

Centered on the central star region where the Taiyi Dao Palace is located, a brand new aura of "Heavenly Dao" filled with "order" and "vitality" swept across the entire vast star sea in an instant, like a gentle spring breeze!
Under the influence of this "new Heavenly Way".

All living beings felt that their connection with the "Great Dao" had become clearer than ever before!
Countless cultivators who were stuck at their bottlenecks and could not make any progress in their entire lives suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and their bottlenecks shattered!
Countless star worlds, depleted of spiritual energy and on the verge of death, experienced a revival at this moment, with vibrant spiritual energy gushing forth from the depths of the earth!
The entire universe is cheering! Rejoicing!
It was as if they were welcoming the return of their "king"!

"It's him!"

"It sure is him!"

"The disappearance of the tainted sun is indeed related to the Daoist Master Taiyi!"

"What terrifying realm has he reached?! Could it be that he has truly cultivated to the legendary, unprecedented... Taiyi Golden Immortal?!"

In an instant, the entire vast starry sea was completely engulfed in an unprecedented and enormous uproar!
Countless incredibly powerful wills awakened from every corner of the universe!
At this moment, the magnificent dojo of the Golden Immortal Alliance, suspended in an unknown dimension, rang its bells!
Dozens of ancient and newly ascended Golden Immortals simultaneously turned their gazes toward the Taiyi Dao Palace, their eyes filled with awe... and fervor!
Deep within the ancestral lands of the three great divine races, the three ancient supreme gods (giants of immortals) who had slept for countless epochs, and whose slumber was not even disturbed by the fall of the "Northern Emperor Supreme God," simultaneously opened their eyes at this moment!
“A new… ‘sky’ has been born…”

Even those forbidden beings that had never appeared since the ancient era and were hidden in forbidden and dangerous places such as the "Graveyard of Time and Space" and the "Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons" have all awakened from their endless slumber!

Even the weakest among them are giants of the immortal realm.

Among them are Da Luo and Cang Gu!

Their eyes were filled with curiosity, fear, and... longing for the "new Heavenly Way"!
soon.

One by one, the name cards, crafted from the most precious "Nine Heavens Immortal Jade" or "Chaos Divine Gold" and containing their own "Great Dao" origins, flew from all directions of the universe to the Taiyi Dao Palace like snowflakes!
Those who presented their calling cards were, without exception, beings at the very pinnacle of this universe!
There are ancient golden immortals who have lived for several eras!

There is a supreme god who holds the faith of billions of divine beings!
There are even a few forbidden demon lords whose names only exist in the oldest legends!

They all have only one goal!
That is... to pay a visit to Su Chen!
Pay homage to this new Lord of Heaven who single-handedly ended the old "Dharma-ending Age" and created a new "Golden Age"!
They wanted to find out the truth about the shattering of the "tainted sun" from Su Chen's mouth!

They wanted to witness firsthand the splendor of the legendary "Taiyi Golden Immortal," who was said to surpass all other "immortal giants"!

In no time, the Taiyi Dao Palace was bustling with visitors!

The five "Taiyi Dao Platforms," ​​which were originally only used for "Great Dao Debates," are now completely surrounded by powerful figures from all walks of life!
All eyes in the vast starry sea were focused on this place!
……

Taiyi Dao Palace, the highest level of the Hall of Longevity.

Su Chen sat quietly cross-legged.

The huge commotion outside seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

Before him, the Golden Light Immortal and the Heartless Immortal were reporting the situation outside to him with expressions of excitement and awe.

"Daoist!"

The ancient immortal Jin Guang, his aged body trembling slightly with extreme excitement, exclaimed, "You...you really succeeded?!"

Although he had already guessed it.

However, when he personally bathed in that aura of "Heavenly Dao", the shock that came from the depths of his soul was still unparalleled!

"It was just a fluke."

Su Chen smiled slightly.

His aura was pure and natural, making him look like an ordinary mortal.

However, this "mortal" made Jin Guang Gu Xian and Wu Xin Xian, who stood at the pinnacle below the Golden Immortals, not even have the courage to look him in the eye!
"Lord Dao, no fewer than a hundred envoys from top forces from all sides have gathered outside the palace. Among them are Golden Immortals and even Supreme Gods, who have personally presented their calling cards, wishing to..."

Wu Xin Xian reported respectfully.

However, before he could finish speaking...

Su-Chen waved his hand, interrupting him.

"These visiting cards were completely ignored."

His voice, though calm, contained an undeniable will that made Jin Guang Gu Xian and the other person shudder.
"Yes!"

"I am about to go into seclusion again."

Su Chen's gaze became distant and profound. "Now, the door has been opened, and a great calamity is imminent."

"The Taiyi Dao Palace will be sealed off until I emerge from seclusion!"

"No one is allowed to enter!"

"No one is allowed to leave without authorization!"

"You only need to guard this place and wait for the wind to rise."

This brief decree was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the ecstatic joy that Jin Guang Gu Xian and his companion had felt at the arrival of the "new era."

Instead, there was an endless sense of solemnity!

They finally understood why that terrifying "black hole" appeared after the "tainted sun" shattered!
It turned out that it was a harbinger of catastrophe!
"Yes! We will obey the decree!"

The two of them dared not be negligent in the slightest and bowed respectfully.

Immediately, they withdrew from the Hall of Longevity to carry out the highest decree issued by Su Chen! (End of Chapter)
