Living in the deep palace

"All of you, get him! Kill him!"

“Even if it's just to hold him off for a short while, that's enough!! He has spread a new path and has a foothold in this mythical era. I can't let him get close to me…”

"quick!"

"Kill...kill him!"

After a brief silence, the mythical Heavenly Dao, having its Achilles' heel touched, finally recovered from its shock and let out a hysterical roar!

That roar was no ordinary sound wave, but a violent distortion of the rules themselves, shaking every inch of the Guiyuan Temple, and even causing ripples in the flow of time.

At this moment, He is at the most critical and vulnerable moment to unleash the forbidden technique of "Causal Annihilation".

The gray scythe woven from the ultimate causal laws of the universe—the "Scythe of Karma"—has begun to take shape, entwined with a terrifying aura capable of annihilating eternity and reducing all traces of existence to nothingness.

however.

The moment before the form is formed is also the moment when the caster is most closely connected with the foundation of the universe and is most susceptible to interference, allowing no room for error!
"promise!"

"I'll obey!"

Rumble——! !

The will of Heaven is the highest command.

The hundreds of Golden Immortal Gods below, who had been guarding the throne like statues, did not hesitate at all. They shouted in unison and poured out more than half of their immortal energy without reservation!

In an instant, countless dazzling divine lights, imbued with the strict laws of "order," surged toward Su Chen from all directions like billions of roaring galaxies!

These divine lights were not simple energy surges; each one was inscribed with a different rule of the Heavenly Dao.

The "absolute zero law" of frozen thinking.
There is a "divine light of entropy increase and annihilation" that decomposes matter.
There is a "time turbulence" that reverses time.
Even more powerful is the "Blade of Cause-Severing," which directly attacks the very essence of the soul...

They intertwine to form a vast net, and wherever they pass, space is not shattered, but rather returns to its most primitive state of chaotic particles!
The combined power of hundreds of third-realm giants is enough to make even a true fourth-realm expert, let alone a pseudo-fourth-realm expert, look on in fear!
however.

Faced with this destructive torrent that could instantly restart a vast world, Su Chen, who was at the center of the storm, didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Foolish Heavenly Way!"

"Don't forget."

"The Guixu Temple, where this place is located, also has a part that came with me from the future era."

"You...can't stop me!"

“Here, I can still use the power of anyone except a mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal! Unless one of the ten is here…”

His gaze, still calm, pierced through layers of obstacles, locking onto the mythical Heavenly Dao entity that trembled slightly due to the interruption of the ritual.

As if merely brushing away a tiny speck of dust from his shoulder, Su Chen slowly raised his right hand and gently... grasped the endless divine light that swept in, light enough to annihilate stars and reshape the earth, water, fire, and wind.

"I said."

Two words, plain and unremarkable, lacking both the majestic power of a heavenly decree and the awe-inspiring roar of a demon lord.

But the moment those two words were uttered, all the underlying rules of the entire Guiyuan Temple, no, the entire Central Divine Court, located in the core region of the universe, trembled violently and cried out in agony!
"This place...is devoid of light."

Buzz—! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

What you say is what the law says!

This is not a collision of energies, nor is it the cancellation of laws; rather, it is a more fundamental and domineering... "negation"!
Those hundreds of world-destroying beams of "order" divine light, just a fraction of a second before they were about to touch Su Chen's clothes, were seemingly wiped cleanly and forcefully erased from the face of reality by an invisible "eraser" that transcends the universe!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no ripples of energy annihilation, and not even the slightest trace of the laws that had ever existed.

They simply vanished into thin air, as if they had never existed in this world.

It was as if Su Chen's words were the ultimate truth. He said "no light," so light should not exist, and all the attacks carried by the light were transformed into absolute "nothingness"!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Below, the hundreds of Golden Immortal Gods were as if they were being attacked by the origin of the universe. They all spat out golden divine blood containing their own Dao principles, and their auras instantly weakened.

"This……"

"How could he possess the methods of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Ancestor?"

"Why do we feel like we're going against the entire universe by attacking this traitor?"

The fervor on their faces was replaced by boundless horror and bewilderment; a deep-seated fear gripped them.

In that instant, they clearly felt that the connection between their "Dao," which they had cultivated for billions of years and upon which they depended for existence, and the laws of the universe, was forcibly blocked or even temporarily "deleted" by a more supreme and ancient force!

This absolute crushing power made them tremble from the depths of their souls.

If it were just a Taiyi Golden Immortal at the mid-stage, pseudo-fourth-stage power, they naturally wouldn't be afraid.

but……

This method of transcending all and controlling all primal forces felt utterly powerless to them.

however.

Su Chen's "trial" has only just begun.

He spoke again, his voice still calm, yet it seemed to carry the weight of the entire Guiyuan Ruins, each syllable striking the very foundation of the universe.

"I said."

"Your 'existence'..." Su Chen's lips slowly curled into a cold, utterly negating smile.

"For being 'false'."

Boom—!! This time, it was no longer about energy or attack, but a direct collision at the level of Heavenly Dao.

Su Chen didn't care about abolishing the Heavenly Dao rank of the one who reached the top, after all, his main purpose in coming here was to improve his cultivation level as a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

If it's ruined, then so be it!
However, if the Heavenly Dao abolishes the status, then its existence will have no foundation, and it will directly turn into a lingering regret, possibly even vanishing into nothingness.

"No!"

"You're crazy."

"This is the rank of a top-level being. Do you want to clash with me and be crippled together? Such a self-destructive act only benefits the common people, the Ten Ancient Venerables, and the pseudo-Fourth Realm..."

The majestic body of the Mythical Heavenly Dao, which was closely connected to the entire universe, suddenly underwent violent distortion and tremor!
He let out a silent shriek that could freeze the souls of all living beings who could perceive it!

He clearly "saw" that the "Supreme Heavenly Dao" position upon which He depended for His existence was being forcibly "questioned" and "denied" by an incomprehensible and irresistible force originating from the very beginning of the Great Dao!
The two Heavenly Daos collided, their essence constantly consuming each other.

Also at this time.

"No--!!!!"

He let out a roar filled with extreme pain, fear, and madness!
The connection between the 'Scythe of Karma,' which was about to completely solidify, and His mind was momentarily... severed due to the collapse of this core logic!
For Su Chen, who had already elevated himself to his peak and was waiting for this one and only chance to win, this momentary break was the fulcrum that could move the fate of the entire era!
"It's now!"

"It's my turn!"

"I'll make you vanish into thin air!"

Su Chen's figure blurred and disappeared on the spot, not by speed, but by a kind of "conceptual substitution", directly appearing in front of the gray scythe that had lost control, was quietly floating in mid-air, and was exuding an aura that could end all things!

He reached out his hand, that seemingly ordinary, mortal hand, and firmly grasped the icy, bone-chilling hilt of the knife, which seemed to be entangled with countless threads of cause and effect.

The instant they touched, a vast torrent of information concerning destiny, end, and origin attempted to rush into his consciousness, but it was easily absorbed and analyzed by the true spirit interwoven with chaos and data.

He raised his head and looked at the mythical Heavenly Dao that was still struggling in logical paradoxes and flashing with chaotic light, a chilling smile curving his lips.

"Thank you for your 'gift'."

"In return..."

"I will use it to personally... end your 'myth'!"

Before he finished speaking, Su Chen had already raised the ultimate weapon that was supposed to be prepared for him high!

The cold, orderly luster that originally belonged to the Heavenly Dao on that gray scythe was now covered by a deeper and more flexible chaotic light.

Then, he mobilized the power within him that originated from the Ruins of Return to Origin, a power that transcended the rules of this universe, and directed it toward the Mythical Heavenly Dao, which was still unable to extricate itself from the painful paradox!
Slash down hard!
This strike was not aimed at His physical form, but rather followed the invisible thread of cause and effect, striking at the very foundation of His existence—the “mythological history” He had woven!
at the same time.

On the ancient star Jianmu, far beyond the endless starry sky!
The "cause and effect" fog that had enveloped the entire planet, laid down by Su Chen, finally unleashed its true power under the stimulation of the dramatic changes in the world!

All living beings, whether mortals or cultivators, whether plants or beasts, experienced a violent tremor in the depths of their souls, with two completely different and conflicting "past" memories emerging!
This is a true story they personally experienced, filled with suffering, struggle, betrayal, and ultimately, under Su Chen's leadership, they ushered in a "new life" and "hope"!

Those memories carry the warmth of blood and fire, and the real touch of tears and laughter.

The other segment is a false future forcibly instilled and covered by the mythical Heavenly Dao with its supreme authority, filled with numbness, despair, an eternal "curse," and absolute obedience to the Heavenly Dao!

Those memories were cold and rigid, suffocating like a marionette.

Two "pasts," two "life experiences," unfold in the sea of ​​their souls a silent yet incredibly tragic ultimate tug-of-war concerning the survival of the "self"... between "truth" and "falsehood"!
This is a purgatory that tests an individual's "will" and their understanding of their "true self"!

Victory awakens consciousness, breaks shackles, truly takes control of one's own destiny, and becomes the cornerstone of the new era; defeat leads to the complete collapse of self-awareness, the assimilation and annihilation of the soul by false memories, and the complete degeneration into an insignificant, predetermined symbol in the script of Heaven's Way!

The fate of the entire mythological era, the future of all living beings, hangs on this delicate thread at this moment!
……

……

Inside the Temple of Origin, the moment Su Chen grasped the Scythe of Karma, this fateful battle, spanning the past, present, and future and concerning the ultimate direction of the universe, entered its most brutal and direct phase!
"No--!!!!"

The Heavenly Dao of Mythology is ultimately the supreme being that has ruled the universe for countless eras. With its unfathomable foundation, it forcibly broke free from the near-crash state of confrontation at the cost of some of its original Dao principles!

He let out a roar of will, a mixture of horror, rage, and a hint of disbelief and humiliation!
He never imagined that the ultimate weapon he had staked the foundation of the divine court on to reverse the tide of fate would fall into enemy hands so easily, and that he himself would be the first to taste its sharpness!

This is simply the greatest irony since the birth of the universe!

The most ridiculous joke ever!
"Traitor! You have stolen the authority of Heaven! Put down what does not belong to you!"

The mythical Heavenly Dao completely abandoned the unfinished causal ritual.

His form instantly collapsed and then suddenly expanded, transforming into a humanoid lightning bolt composed purely of the most primordial chains of "order" and runes of "rules"!

The moment this lightning bolt appeared, all concepts of time, space, energy, and matter in the entire Guiyuan Temple began to collapse and submit to it, as if it were the absolute center of the universe, carrying the supreme divine power to bring all laws to stillness and everything back to the singularity, and rushed towards Su Chen's seemingly frail figure... with a thunderous roar!
Before Su Chen could truly master and unleash the power of the "Scythe of Karma," He would use the most absolute force to completely evaporate this greatest "variable," along with that dangerous weapon, from the level of "existence"!

However, Su Chen's actions were even faster than the lightning of His thoughts!
The moment he grasped the sickle, his connection with the origin of Guiyuanxu seemed to deepen.

In those strange eyes, half chaos giving birth to all things and half data analyzing everything, flashed absolute rationality and cold decisiveness.

He did not choose to confront the wrathful blow of Heaven, which was imbued with the authority of the universe; that would have been tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

He simply swung the gray scythe in his hand calmly, following some mysterious intuition.

The trajectory of the scythe was not from any angle in the material world, but rather it slashed towards the darkest, most fundamental line of cause and effect, which is invisible to ordinary beings and even ordinary great powers, and connects the great power of the mythical Heavenly Dao in the present with the glorious foundation of the past.
"I said."

Su Chen's voice rang out again, like the gavel falling in final judgment.

"Your 'Divine Court'... was never established."

"I will erase you from my past, bit by bit..."

Tsk-!
A tearing sound, so faint yet so clearly piercing the depths of the perceptions of all beings above the fourth realm, quietly rang out!
The sound did not originate from space, but from "history," from "cause and effect," from the "narrative layer" of the universe!
The mythical Heavenly Dao, poised to strike Su Chen, its majestic, radiant form suddenly froze! It was as if a rapidly moving galaxy had been paused! (End of Chapter)
