Living in the deep palace

Boom—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The "dark hole" that had been silently suspended in the cosmic dome ever since the "tainted sun" shattered began to tremble violently without warning!
It was as if an ancient ferocious beast, imprisoned for countless eons, was about to break free from behind that "cage"!

An indescribable, immense, and overwhelming aura of law, filled with chaos, rage, and a higher, more despairing force, emanated from behind the trembling "hole" and seeped out wildly!

In an instant!
Throughout the vast starry sea, all living beings, whether mortals or true immortals, whether golden immortals or giants, are present.

At that very moment, I suddenly felt an uncontrollable, deep-seated palpitation... emanating from the very depths of my soul!
It was as if a pair of cold, emotionless eyes, viewing everything as worthless, were silently watching them from a distant, unknown dimension.

Gazing upon this place, which in His eyes resembled an anthill...the universe! Filled with malice!

"This...this is..."

"What's happening here?"

"what happened!"

Inside the Hall of Longevity, the Golden Light Ancient Immortal and the Heartless Immortal, who had just been promoted to Golden Immortal and were full of vigor, suddenly froze their ecstatic expressions, which were replaced by a horrified paleness!

They also looked towards the hole.

Upon reaching the Golden Immortal level, they can naturally glimpse the true starry sky.

They could clearly sense how terrifying the aura seeping from behind the "hole" truly was!
That was an absolute crushing on the level of life that completely surpassed those of them, the "Golden Immortals"!
Faced with that aura, they couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance! It was as if a fledgling eagle that had just learned to fly suddenly saw a... true dragon soaring in the sky!
"Dao... Dao Master..."

"Haven't you already suppressed this hole?"

The two turned their heads with difficulty, their eyes filled with fear and pleading, to look at the only figure still standing.

However, what they saw was an unprecedented... solemn expression appearing on Su Chen's face!
A chilling, immense sense of crisis, as if it could freeze even the "Heavenly Dao," enveloped his heart without warning!
At this moment, he, the newly appointed "Lord of Heaven's Way," actually sensed a trace of "death calamity"!

"how come?!"

A tremendous storm raged in Su Chen's heart!

who is he? !

He is a Taiyi Golden Immortal!

It is the only "Heavenly Way" in this universe!
The status of those who reach the summit!

His existence should have been "indestructible and eternally immortal"! As long as this universe exists, he will never die!
But at this moment, his intuition about the Dao, which is closely connected with the fate of the entire universe, was frantically warning him!
Tell him!
A cataclysmic disaster, capable of burying him and the universe he protects, is about to descend!
Has the Holy Lord of the Underworld descended?
But it shouldn't be.

The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus should be a being of the fifth realm. Even a wisp of his aura carries the status of the fifth realm. This hole is simply not large enough to contain him.

"What...is that thing?!"

"It even gave me a feeling of death."

"The fourth realm?"

"But the fourth realm shouldn't be like this either. The hole is still very small. It should barely be able to accommodate a life from the third realm descending from outside."

Chaotic divine light flashed wildly in Su Chen's eyes!
He relentlessly activated the power of the "Taiyi Heavenly Dao" and frantically deduced the source of the crisis!

His will instantly transcended the constraints of space and descended into the ever-flowing "river of time"!
He wanted to go to the "future" to see for himself what was about to happen... "destiny"!
However! The moment his "Heavenly Dao" will touched that mist representing the "future"!

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

A dark "power" that was even more domineering, more chaotic, and more... indescribable than his "Heavenly Dao" will suddenly rebounded from the fog of the "future"!

"puff!"

Su Chen's unwavering Dao heart trembled violently! Two lines of golden... Dao blood flowed from his chaotic eyes!

The simulation failed! Not only did it fail, but it also suffered an unprecedented backlash!
He couldn't deduce anything!
That "future" that should have been under his control was completely enveloped by a higher "power" that he could not understand!

He felt as if his "Heavenly Way" had crashed into a cold, indestructible wall of sighs, constructed of pure "despair" and "end"!
Some indescribable, terrifying life form has invaded this sea of ​​stars! Moreover, it bypassed the "present" and directly descended from a certain point in the "future"!

This inconceivable way of arriving completely exceeded the comprehension of Su Chen, the "new Heavenly Dao"!

"Damn it!"

"This must be Minglian's doing!"

"He must have let in a fourth-realm being. I don't know what methods he used, he's completely insane."

Su Chen gritted his teeth.

For a being outside the fourth realm to descend, even the Nether Lotus would have to pay a considerable price.

……

……

at the same time.

The world outside the "door".

In that endless chaotic void filled with "chaos" and "rage".

A gigantic, jet-black lotus, large enough to encompass several universes as its petals, is slowly blooming.

At the very center of the lotus, a majestic demonic figure, whose features were obscured and whose body seemed to be formed from "ultimate malice" and "pure destruction," sat quietly cross-legged.

He was the mastermind behind that "battle that caused the sky to fall"!

Lord of the Underworld Lotus!

At this moment, a cold, mocking, and cruel sneer appeared on his face.

He could almost see through the barrier of the "door" and witness Su Chen coughing up blood, staggering backward, his face filled with disbelief.

"Heh... idiot."

"You think that by attaining the so-called 'Taiyi' and becoming the 'Supreme Heavenly Dao' of a broken universe, you can contend with me? How naive and laughable."

The voice of the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus, filled with endless malice, slowly echoed in the chaos.

"You've managed to give this 'sky and starry sea,' which we've long since manipulated, a pitiful glimmer of life."

"Now, it is time for you, along with this newly born 'Heavenly Way,' to... perish."

His gaze fell upon the violently trembling "black hole," his eyes filled with an unquestionable judgment!
"Descend..."

“My… ‘calamity’.”

"Go, and pluck that freshly ripened, most delicious... 'Heavenly Dao' head for me!"

“Remember, ‘Heavenly Calamity’ is not the ordinary fourth realm (Immortal Great Luo) as understood in your universe.”

"It is the 'calamity' of 'Heaven'! It is the ultimate predator, born specifically to hunt you self-righteous 'Heavenly Dao'!" The Nether Lotus stood tall, smiling coldly.

The Heavenly Calamity is extremely detrimental to immortal beings.

This also means that even if there are native fourth-realm life forms in the Azure Star Sea, they will have to pay a heavy price to hunt down Tian'e.

This also means that, unless absolutely necessary, this group of Grand Luo Immortals and Ancient Immortals from the Azure Sky Star Sea will not come to the aid of Su Chen, a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
Because Tian'e was clearly heading towards Su Chen with murderous intent, without intending to damage the Star Sea in the slightest.

This is what alarmed the fourth-realm life form in the vast starry sea, who hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to make a move.

after all.

The cost of their actions was also considerable.

Moreover, they had no relation to Su Chen, yet they shared a slight interest in the origin of the Taiyi Golden Immortal and the position of ascending to the Heavenly Dao.

"That's all."

"Since this is the tribulation of the eleventh climber, let him face it himself. We should just stand by and watch."

A murmur arose, then fell silent.

……

……

"puff!"

Su Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.

Inside the Hall of Longevity, there was a deathly silence.

The three newly promoted Golden Immortals, Golden Light Ancient Immortal, Heartless Immortal, and Ancient Insect Immortal, stared blankly at the white-robed figure who slowly descended from the lotus platform, a wisp of brilliant Dao blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, their Dao hearts and their souls seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, almost shattering on the spot!

Dao Lord...

They believed themselves to be invincible and undefeated, their words carrying the weight of law, capable of commanding the heavenly tribulation to retreat with a mere flick of their fingers...

injured? !

Just by having a clash of wills with the unknown existence behind that "dark hole" across endless space and time, they suffered such a backlash!

"Then... what kind of monster is it..." Wuxin Xian's voice was dry, and his Dao heart, which had been calm for millions of years, was now being stirred up by a monstrous wave.

Su Chen raised his hand and gently wiped away the golden blood from the corner of his mouth.

Each drop of blood contains a fragment of the laws of a universe, so heavy it could crush an entire galaxy.

His face regained its composure, but deep within his chaotic eyes burned an unprecedented rage and chill.

“A… ‘predator’”.

Su Chen's voice was very soft, yet it made the three Golden Immortals feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"It feeds on the 'Way of Heaven' and hunts in the 'Universe'."

Before he finished speaking, Su Chen's figure had already disappeared from the Hall of Longevity.

In the next instant, his will reigned supreme over the entire vast starry sea!
"In the name of Heaven, I hereby decree—!"

Su Chen's voice transformed into the highest decree of the universe, resounding loudly in every star field, every corner, and the heart of every living being!

"All things return to one!"

"Starry Sea, form the battle array!"

"The Great Dao transforms into soldiers!"

Boom—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The entire universe seemed to awaken from its slumber at this moment, transforming into a colossal war beast!
Hundreds of millions of stars deviated from their eternal trajectories and, under Su Chen's will, began to operate at high speed in a mysterious and unpredictable way, forming an unprecedented supreme killing array based on the entire universe!
Endless starlight was gathered and condensed into a tangible "ocean of light"!
All the forces in the universe—gravity, repulsion, strong interaction, weak interaction—these fundamental laws that constitute the material world are forcibly twisted and woven at this moment, transforming into billions of "spears of law" that shimmer with runes of the Great Dao!
Between heaven and earth, all the spiritual energy and all the power were roaring and boiling!

This is the wrath of Heaven!
It is the most extreme and brilliant counterattack that a universe can unleash in order to resist external enemies!
All the power, all the laws, all the killing, converged into a torrent powerful enough to annihilate even the most powerful Golden Immortal, and fiercely bombarded the "dark hole" located at the top of the universe!

This strike is enough to restart an era!

This strike is enough to obliterate immortality!

however.

Faced with this devastating blow, the entity behind the "black hole" did not even react in the slightest.

That terrifying torrent of attack, formed from the combined power of the entire universe, vanished as quickly as it came within tens of thousands of miles of the "dark abyss," like a mud ox sinking into the sea, or like the first snowflakes encountering sunlight...

It melted away silently.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no deafening roar of opposing laws.

Nothing at all.

It was as if Su Chen's thunderous strike, which unleashed the full power of the universe, never existed in this world from the very beginning.

That area, the area surrounding that "dark hole," formed a realm of absolute "nothingness."

Any law, any energy, any concept, once it gets close, will be assimilated and have its meaning erased.

"puff--!"

At the heart of the vast starry sea, Su Chen's "Heavenly Dao True Body" trembled violently and spat out another mouthful of golden Dao blood!

This time, for the first time, a hint of... horror appeared in his eyes!
This is not a difference between strength and weakness!

This is an incomprehensible, higher-dimensional "rule" that crushes everything!
If Su Chen is the "Heavenly Dao" of this universe, capable of altering all rules at will.

So, the entity behind that "dark hole" is a "hacker" carrying a "virus," whose very existence is constantly tampering with and deleting the underlying code of this "game"!
Just as Su Chen's mind was shaken to its core.

Within that "dark hole," it seemed as if a pair of cold "eyes" slowly "opened," casting a "gaze" upon this universe.

There was no malice, no murderous intent; it was as if someone had casually glanced at the anthill beneath their feet.

But just this one glance!
Buzz—! ! ! !

In the vast sea of ​​stars, in a remote star field that should have been peaceful and tranquil, all the physical laws within it suddenly and without warning fell into complete chaos!
The speed of light is no longer constant! Sometimes it exceeds the limit, and sometimes it moves as slowly as a tortoise!
Gravity has lost its hold! Planets no longer attract each other, but instead repel each other wildly!

Time has been disrupted! Some planets, in an instant, have undergone billions of years of evolution, turning into lifeless dust; while other planets have reversed time, returning to their molten initial state!
A silent, yet devastating catastrophe, affecting tens of millions of galaxies, has descended!
Countless living beings, before they even understood what was happening, were utterly annihilated, along with the world they inhabited, transformed into the most chaotic energy turbulence. (End of Chapter)
