Living in the deep palace

Su Chen raised his hand and gently pointed a finger at the "Demon God of Returning to Nothingness," which had already reached its peak and was about to erupt 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.

"I said."

"There shall be light in this world."

Buzz—! ...

The moment the last word "light" was uttered from Su Chen's mouth.

The entire Nine Nether Star Domain, which had been shrouded in endless darkness for billions of years, suddenly trembled!
Immediately, a wisp of incredibly faint yet incredibly brilliant light, as if it were the first ray of holy light of "hope" at the beginning of the universe, burst forth from Su Chen's fingertips!

That light was so warm, so gentle.

It illuminated that hideous and terrifying "Demon God of the Ruins"!
then……

That terrifying demon god, who embodied the life's essence of the five great demonic masters and should have dragged everything into destruction, was like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun...

Silently, it began... to melt away.

That ultimate "destruction" is so utterly vulnerable in the face of that pure light of "creation".

The demonic power that could reduce all things to nothingness vanished under the holy light that represented hope.

"No reason……"

The Demon Lord Moro's burning demonic soul emitted its last wisp of will, filled with confusion and resentment.

"At the end of darkness... there was... light..."

Then, in that holy light that illuminated all things, it completely transformed into a wisp of smoke and dissipated into the starry sky that was welcoming "light" for the first time.

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

Follow your words.

The five great demonic masters who had dominated the Nine Nether Star Domain for several eras and left behind endless legends had already died and their souls had scattered!

This is the power of the "new mythology"!
This is the power that transcends the "Heavenly Dao"!
After doing all this, Su Chen slowly lowered his right hand.

He could clearly feel that after absorbing the pure "Dao" and "Origin" of the four Demon Lords and the Supreme Heavenly Demon, his "Taiyi Universe," which had just undergone a transformation, became increasingly stable and perfect.

"This Demon Lord is not at the fourth realm at all. His fourth realm origin is flawed, and he is a pseudo-fourth realm. He is probably stronger than the four great demon lords and stronger than the realm I reached when I stepped into the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm."

"strangeness."

"How did this pseudo-fourth realm, which is not actually the fourth realm, come about? Where did his incomplete fourth realm origin go?"

Su Chen carefully sensed it for a moment and frowned slightly.

Moro is powerful, but his strength is limited and he is far from meeting the standard of a true fourth realm.

If it were a normal fourth realm cultivator, even if it weren't a great fourth realm cultivator from this mythological era, but just an ordinary immortal from the Star Sea of ​​later generations, it would still give him a hard time.

Because his understanding of "words becoming law" is simply not enough to overwhelm the fourth realm.

"good."

"Having devoured four Great Demon Lords and a pseudo-fourth-realm Supreme Heavenly Demon, I can clearly sense that my Dao Fruit has increased."

"It seems that I'm not far from breaking through to the middle stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm."

"I have chosen the right path."

"In this mythical era, the sealed past can indeed provide resources that allow me to grow rapidly."

"I just don't know how many of these pseudo-fourth realms are needed in this mythical era. We can't defeat the real fourth realms, but the pseudo-fourth realms are just right."

Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he slowly turned around, his eyes, half chaos and half data, once again gazing at the distant, high above... the Central Divine Court.

he knows.

The real "battle" has only just begun.

He needs to devour more powerful figures at the peak of the third realm, as well as pseudo-fourth realm, and must make plans as soon as possible.

then.

Su Chen's gaze remained calmly fixed on the direction of the Central Divine Court.

The fall of Demon Lord Moro, and the unprecedented "Light of Creation" that illuminated the entire Demon Realm, triggered a chain reaction that far exceeded the expectations of all living beings.

……

……

In the Myriad Buddhas Starfield, at the Great Thunderclap Temple, atop the lotus throne.

An ancient Buddha with a solemn and dignified appearance, and a nine-fold golden wheel of merit hanging behind his head, slowly opened his compassionate eyes that seemed to contain the three thousand great chiliocosms.

As He gazed at the holy light emanating from the direction of the Nine Netherworlds, filled with the aura of "creation" and "hope," a complex, human-like...astonishment appeared for the first time on His eternally unchanging face.

"Neither Buddha, nor Tao, nor demon..."

"This light originates from the 'heart' and emanates from 'all living beings'."

“Amitabha Buddha… In this world, such an ‘anomaly’ has been born.”

"This era is sealed in the past, existing in the cracks of time, neither alive nor dead, neither advancing nor retreating, utterly hopeless. We have been sinking along with this fifth-realm immortal ancestor for far too long..."

"It's hard to say whether this anomaly is good or bad."

"Ugh."

A long sigh escaped from the ancient Buddha's mouth, its tone a mixture of joy and sorrow.

His heart stirred, and he wanted to get involved, hoping to seize a sliver of an opportunity.

but……

He's not young anymore.

My heart, too, is growing old.

After a long, long silence, the ancient Buddha statue remained motionless and fell into stillness.

……

……

Demon God Starfield, Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

A golden crow demon emperor, whose body was engulfed in the true fire of the sun and whose size was enough to treat galaxies as playthings, suddenly raised its proud head from the sleeping Fusang Divine Tree.

His golden pupils, like two real suns, stared intently at the direction of the Nine Netherworld, filled with shock and... fighting spirit!
"What a domineering 'light'! What a powerful 'I say there shall be light in this world'!"

"Such power, such absolute authority... it seems to come from the hand of Heaven!"

"Interesting...very interesting! Is this stagnant pool finally going to be stirred up?!"

"I wonder what impact this will have on this fallen era? Can I seize his life and unleash a second life?"

"That's all."

"It's too risky. After all, he's someone even the Heavenly Dao, formed from the fallen Immortal Ancestor, couldn't do anything about. We can't touch him... he's too dangerous..."

……

……

In the central divine court, in the Lingxiao Palace, the mythical Heavenly Dao, seated atop its supreme throne and supposed to be the sole ruler of this world, suddenly trembled uncontrollably!
For the first time, emotions called "shock and anger" and "fear" appeared in His eyes, which were composed of pure "order" and "rules"!

"It's Him!"

"It's that time-stealing thief!"

"He's not dead! Not only is he not dead, he even... devoured Moro's essence!"

The Heavenly Dao of Mythology, also the thought of the fallen Immortal Ancestor of the Fifth Realm, has completely enraged Him!

He can feel it.

This starry sea, this era, is gradually acknowledging Su Chen!

How can there be two summiters in one era?
How can there be two Heavenly Daos!
This is not allowed.

He wouldn't allow that to happen!

He clearly felt that his control over the entire universe had been slightly weakened because of Su Chen's earth-shattering "preaching" in the Nine Nether Star Region!
Although this slight loosening is like an ant trying to shake a tree for His vast foundation of rule.

But this is an extremely dangerous signal!

This means that in this universe of "absolute order" created by Him, a second voice has been born, one that dares and is capable of defining the "rules"!
This is something He absolutely cannot tolerate!

"Reveal my decree!"

The cold and majestic voice of the Mythical Heavenly Dao resounded once again throughout the fourteen star domains.

"All Divine Court warriors, heed my command!"

"Target: Nine Nether Star Region!"

"Take it flat!"

"I will make all living beings know what a despairing end will be for those who defy the will of 'Heaven'!"

Boom—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As His decree fell, the Central Divine Court, which had hovered at the pinnacle of the universe and stood majestically for countless epochs, at this moment, was like a war behemoth awakening from its slumber, revealing for the first time its ferocious fangs that were enough to make all worlds tremble!
Countless magnificent heavenly gates, which had been closed for countless years, slowly opened!
Squads of heavenly soldiers and generals, clad in golden divine armor and wielding divine weapons of the Great Dao, with even the weakest among them at the "True Immortal" realm, surged forth from the Heavenly Gate like a golden torrent!

There are also 365 "Star Lords" who correspond to the stars in the heavens and whose cultivation is at the peak of "Mysterious Jade Immortal"!
The twenty-eight are "divine lords" whose cultivation has already touched the threshold of "golden immortals" and correspond to the four constellations.
And then there are those four Supreme Heavenly Kings, who guard the four Heavenly Gates of the Divine Court, whose auras are unfathomable and who have long since attained the fourth realm of "Great Luo"...
Eastern Dhritarashtra, Southern Virudhaka, Western Virupaksha, Northern Vaishravana!
This is the essence of the mythical Heavenly Dao!
This is the Mythical Era, the supreme divine army that can suppress all resistance and sweep away all enemies!
For a moment, the entire universe fell into a deathly silence!

All the ancient beings who had previously harbored ulterior motives instantly concealed their auras upon seeing this terrifying army capable of restarting an era. Their Dao hearts trembled violently, and they fell silent as if shivering in the cold!

they know.

Heaven is truly enraged!

A war between "Heaven" and "Otherness," destined to be recorded in the annals of this world and marking the pinnacle of the mythological era, is about to begin!

……

……

At this moment, Su Chen, the "instigator" of all this, seemed to have foreseen it all.

His eyes were slightly closed as he continued to digest the vast origins of the four Demon Lords and the Supreme Demon Lord.

His aura was rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Although he is still in the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm!

However, he has gradually climbed to the perfection of the initial stage of Golden Immortal, and is only one step away from the middle stage.

Or.

It's missing a pseudo-fourth realm origin!

"Is it just missing a pseudo-fourth realm origin?"

“In this mythical era, the only true fourth realm beings are the ten I sensed earlier, at least on the surface.”

"There might be others in the shadows, but most of the other Fourth Realm cultivators are probably pseudo-Fourth Realm cultivators..."

Su Chen refined Mo Luo's memories.

Therefore, it is known that the fourth realm achieved by the Mythical Heavenly Dao, the master of this Star Sea Universe, before the fall of the Fifth Realm Immortal Ancestor, is the true fourth realm.

Like Moro, this pseudo-supreme heavenly demon, although the aura emanating from his body looks no different from that of a true fourth realm being.

However, in reality, he would be exposed as soon as he made a move, and he was no match for a true fourth realm cultivator. He could only bully a perfect third realm cultivator.

Because Moro achieved the fourth realm after the fall of the fifth realm immortal ancestor, it was destined to be incomplete and imperfect.

Furthermore, much of its origin was plundered by the mythical Heavenly Dao!
That's why there's talk of a pseudo-fourth realm!
"After the fall, the Star Sea decayed, and the fourth realm naturally ceased to exist, making it impossible for a true fourth realm to be born again."

Su Chen narrowed his eyes.

According to Moro's memories, there are quite a few pseudo-fourth realm beings like him, after all, this place is supported by fourteen star seas.

then.

He is waiting.

He was waiting for the arrival of the Divine Court army!
The true fourth realm, in terms of strength, is on par with the Mythical Heavenly Dao, and they do not obey the orders of the Mythical Heavenly Dao.

In other words.

Among the so-called great army, there will be no true fourth realm beings, and the Mythical Heavenly Dao, having fought with Su Chen, is probably still recovering its strength.

In other words, the strongest attacker was a pseudo-fourth realm cultivator.

"Wealth is found in danger."

"I'm just one step away from reaching the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. It's definitely worth taking the risk."

Su Chen was waiting.

Time passes slowly.

I do not know how long it has been.

The moment Su Chen's aura fully recovered to its peak, even surpassing its previous level.

He suddenly opened his eyes!
Those eyes, half chaos and half data, burst forth with dazzling divine light, as if they could take in the entire galaxy of the universe!

At the edge of his field of vision.

A torrent of judgment, composed of endless "golden light" and "order," representing the will of "Heavenly Dao," has traversed countless star fields and descended upon this land that has just welcomed "light"... the Nine Netherworld Demon Land!
"come yet?"

"really!"

"Just as I guessed, the Mythical Heavenly Dao did not come, nor did it have the aura of the ten true fourth realm beings that I sensed earlier!"

"But they are four pseudo-fourth realm beings!"

Su Chen slowly rose from the abyss of light.

His face showed no sign of tension or seriousness.

Yes, there is only one kind: the chess player finally gets to see his opponent's... peace.

With a single step, he appeared outside the boundary of the Nine Nether Star Domain, facing the Divine Court army, whose magnificent lineup was enough to make any fourth-realm being despair!
He simply floated silently in the void.

One person, dressed in white.

Yet it seems to be an eternal, indestructible chasm that separates the "old" from the "new"!
On the opposite side, aboard the "Lingxiao Warship," which was jointly piloted by four supreme heavenly kings and served as the central hub of the divine court's army.

The Eastern Heavenly King, with his majestic eyes fixed on Su Chen, let out a furious roar imbued with the divine might of the Heavenly Dao!

"Bold thief!"

"How dare you not kneel before the Divine Court's army?!"

"Do you know what a magnificent being you are facing?! What a supreme... authority you are challenging?!" (End of Chapter)
