Living in the deep palace

however.

Faced with this combined ambush that could eclipse the heavens and earth and plunge even the fourth realm into despair, Su Chen, standing at the eye of the storm, showed not a ripple on his face.

He simply watched quietly as the torrent of magical treasures descended from the sky and the filthy sea rose from the earth, and slowly shook his head.

"Little tricks."

He didn't even use the [Heavenly Slaughter Sword] after he finished speaking.

He simply raised his right hand slowly.

Facing the nine-story pagoda that could freeze time and space, he casually threw a punch.

An ordinary punch.

But this punch seemed to contain the weight of the birth and death of a universe!

The suppressive power emanating from the nine-story pagoda was as fragile as paper in the face of this punch!
boom--! ! ! !

A loud bang!
That innate spiritual treasure, the nine-story pagoda, which was powerful enough to suppress an entire star field, was actually punched through from the bottom to the top of the pagoda with a single punch!
The countless Dao patterns engraved on it shattered instantly! The pagoda let out a mournful cry, its light dimmed, and it flew backward!

Immediately afterwards, facing the Soul-Destroying Lamp specifically designed to target the soul, Su Chen simply opened his mouth and gently blew on it.

call--!
A pure "qi," devoid of any laws yet imbued with the will of the "self," blew out.

The flame of that magic lamp flickered violently twice, like a candle dying in the wind, and then went out completely with a "poof"!
Just as the filthy sea was about to touch Su Chen's clothes, a thin, cicada-wing-like light curtain naturally appeared around Su Chen, seemingly isolating him from eternity.

That was the embodiment of his "way of the self".

Everything outside of "I" is external.

Within "me", all laws cannot invade!

The filthy water, capable of corroding everything, upon contact with this light barrier, was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, emitting a "sizzling" sound. It was forcibly purified and evaporated by the pure "self" will contained within it!

In the blink of an eye!

Su Chen single-handedly destroyed the pagoda, extinguished the lamp, and purified the turbid sea!
Contrary to his opponent's expectations, he did not engage in a fierce battle. Instead, he... with an even stronger and more ruthless attitude, completely dismantled the combined killing blow of these two fourth-realm beings!
After a brief exchange, he fought two opponents single-handedly and held his own!
This scene left Baibao Tianzun and [Zhuo] completely stunned.

"This...how is this possible?!" For the first time, panic appeared on the fat face of the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable!

His prized magical weapon, the Torrent, was like a child's toy in front of his opponent!

The opponent didn't even use any profound supernatural powers; he simply relied on his purest physical body and will to break through all of his methods one by one!

This is no longer a difference in strength; this is... a crushing defeat in the very essence of life!
Legend has it that at this time, the Celestial Venerable had not yet stepped into the fourth realm.

How can it be!

How could someone at the third level, without even reaching the fourth realm, possibly contend with a Grand Luo Immortal like him? That's impossible.

wrong.

He was one against two, and with his third realm, he crushed those two third-realm beings!

"Is this the Celestial Venerable Shi whom I'm tasked with dealing with?"

"This...how can it be so terrifying..."

[Turbid] In that chaotic will, a monstrous wave was also stirred up!

His "filthy" origin is invincible, and even the Ten Ancient Gods were unwilling to be easily tainted by it.

But the person before me, his Dao is so pure that even his own origin cannot be tainted in the slightest?!
Shocked!

An unprecedented and shocking experience!
However, what truly terrified them was yet to come!
In order to thoroughly intimidate these two arrogant fools, Su Chen no longer concealed his true nature.

Three distinct yet equally powerful forbidden auras, filled with a wild, ancient, and chilling energy, slowly emanated from his body!

An aura of [Kui] that devours all things and returns them to chaos!

It was an aura of desolation, of everything withering away and all the splendor fading away!

It carries the aura of a final resting place, the burial of eternity—the aura of a tomb!

These three auras intertwined and merged, ultimately transforming into a "natural enemy" whose power froze the souls of both Baibao Tianzun and [Zhuo]!
“No… Impossible!!”

[Turbid] That will, composed of billions of voices, emitted the most terrified and disbelieving scream in history!

As a fellow forbidden ancient life form, He understood better than anyone what these three auras meant!
That means that His three brothers, who were born with Him at the beginning of the universe and were theoretically eternal and immortal, have... completely perished!

Moreover, she was completely devoured by the man in front of her in the most thorough way!

The Heavenly Venerable of a Hundred Treasures was so frightened that his entire body of fat trembled violently. In his small, narrowed eyes, all his greed transformed into boundless fear, enough to engulf him!
He finally understood!

He finally realized what a terrifying being he had provoked!

Looking back now, his previous idea of ​​refining Su Chen into a "Human Essence Pill" seems utterly laughable and incredibly presumptuous!

It's like an ant excitedly plotting how to... devour a dragon!
Upon sensing the three intertwined forbidden beast auras emanating from Su Chen, the fighting spirit, ambition, and all their calculations of these two fourth-realm beings were utterly shattered in that instant!
Only one thought remained in their minds.

escape!
The further away the better!

An ordinary fourth-realm cultivator would be no match for this person.

It is likely that only the top three of the Ten Ancient Venerables and their sole leader could deal with the Celestial Venerables at this time.

At the very least, Lingbao Tianzun, who was at the bottom of the class, was no match for his opponent.

"Want to go?"

"It's getting late."

Su Chen looked at the two fourth-realm beings who had completely lost their will to fight and were like frightened birds, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He had gone to great lengths to corner these two "preys" here, so why would he let them leave so easily?

"Ten Thousand Treasures Heavenly Net Formation, activate!"

Baibao Tianzun is indeed one of the celestial beings of the new era, and his temperament is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Driven by extreme fear, he unleashed a fierce will to survive!

He bit his tongue sharply, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood containing the origin of his own Great Dao, which he then sprinkled onto the great array that filled the void and consisted of 10,800 magical treasures!

Buzz—! ! ! !

Empowered by its primordial power, the "Myriad Treasures Heavenly Net Formation," originally used to trap Su Chen, shone brightly at this moment! Countless magical treasures began to operate in reverse frantically!

Its purpose is no longer to "trapped the enemy," but... "self-destruction!"
The Celestial Venerable of a Hundred Treasures actually wanted to detonate the great array he had painstakingly crafted in his lifetime in order to gain even the slightest chance of escape!
"Take me with you!"

At the same time, the enormous liquid body of [Turbid] suddenly collapsed inward, transforming into a "filthy source core" the size of a human head, pitch black in color, and covered with countless wailing mouths!
This is His origin and core!

He also planned to detonate his own origin, echoing the self-destruction of the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable's formation, to tear open a spacetime rift and escape! At this moment, both beings of the fourth realm unleashed their most desperate and ultimate methods!

In an instant, the core area of ​​the entire Sea of ​​All Laws Returning to the Flow was filled with a violent and destructive energy that was enough to make the universe tremble!

However, faced with all of this...

Su Chen simply watched them quietly, as if he were watching two clowns performing their final, futile struggle on a stage.

"In the face of 'the end,' all struggles are meaningless."

He slowly raised his right hand.

And then, the sword, representing "judgment" and "the end," was raised.

He did not immediately draw his sword, but instead turned his gaze to the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable, whose face was contorted with rage and determination.

"Before you die, I have a question."

Su Chen's voice was calm and even, yet it carried an undeniable authority, clearly reaching the ears of the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable.

"In this chaotic sea, a wondrous treasure was once lost. A pearl that can cleanse the soul and purify all thoughts..."

Tell me where it is.

The Heavenly Venerable Baibao, who was about to detonate the great formation, suddenly stopped! A look of extreme shock and... a hint of realization flashed in his small eyes, which were filled with madness and ruthlessness.

"The Purifying Pearl... So... so you came here for this!!"

He understood everything in an instant!
No wonder! No wonder the Celestial Venerable Shi set his sights on these forbidden ancient life forms!

Because only by devouring these ancient beings that are as old as the universe can their vast memories cause irreparable "pollution" to one's own soul!
Throughout history, the only thing that can solve this "pollution" is that legendary, existing only in Chen Sheng's memories... the Purifying Spirit Pearl!
It turns out he wasn't simply hunting, but... "treating" an illness!
Having figured this out, a spark of hope suddenly rekindled in the heart of Baibao Tianzun, who had fallen into despair!

He saw... a bargaining chip!

"Hahaha!" He suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with the relief of surviving a calamity. "Lord Shi! If you kill me, you will never find the whereabouts of the Pure Spirit Pearl!"

"Spare my life! I can not only tell you where the treasure is hidden, but I can even... help you retrieve it!"

"My life is far more valuable to you than my death!"

He tried to persuade the invincible monster before him with promises of benefits.

However, Su Chen simply looked at him quietly, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

"I am not negotiating with you."

"I'm just giving you... a chance to contribute your last bit of energy before you die."

"To speak, or not to speak."

"The ending is the same for everyone."

Su Chen's emotionless words were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the flame of hope that had just been ignited in Baibao Tianzun's heart.

He got it.

In the face of absolute power, all bargaining chips are meaningless.

The other party simply disdains to... do business with him.

"you……"

"This……"

"damn it……"

The color drained from Baibao Tianzun's face.

At that moment, the "tainted source core" of [Turbid], which was formed from its origin, suddenly erupted with a violent energy fluctuation!

"Roar—!!! Die!!"

"kill!"

[Turbid] clearly doesn't possess the same level of cunning as the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable. Within His chaotic will lies only the purest, most primal ferocity, the very essence of a wild beast!
He seized upon the "flaw" in Su Chen's conversation with Baibao Tianzun and, without hesitation, detonated a portion of his own essence!

boom--! ! ! !

An indescribable energy storm, filled with extreme "filth," erupted instantly!
This storm is not simply an energy shock, but an erosion at the "conceptual" level!

Wherever it passed, the laws of space and time were corrupted, becoming chaotic! Energy particles were contaminated, transforming into highly toxic demonic energy! Even the concept of "existence" itself was shrouded in a layer of gray "filth," losing its purity!

This is the ultimate killing move of [Turbidity] - the Tide of All Impurities Returning to the Source!
He wanted to completely pull this space, which was sealed by the Myriad Treasures Heavenly Net Formation, back into a most primitive, most filthy, and utterly disordered...chaos!
When Baibao Tianzun saw [Zhuo] launch this suicidal attack, a sinister and resolute glint flashed in his small eyes!

Instead of offering assistance, he... redirected all the power of the "Myriad Treasures Heavenly Net Formation"!

Instead of using the grand formation to attack Su Chen, he used all his power to... reinforce the "barrier" of this space!
He wanted to completely seal the full power of [Turbid]'s suicidal attack within this space, forcing Su Chen to withstand it head-on!
He himself could use the momentary disruption of spacetime caused by the explosion to find a chance to escape!
Without hesitation, he betrayed his "ally"!
however.

Whether it was the madness of [Zhuo] who was willing to perish together, or the insidious and cunning scheme of Baibao Tianzun.

In Su Chen's eyes, everything seemed so... ridiculous.

"Finally, it's time for you all... to have played all your cards."

"Now it's my turn to reveal my hand!"

"You beings who survived the Fallen Era cannot possibly imagine just how powerful the true dragon born from the brilliant starry sea of ​​later generations—that is, me!"

"It's my turn!"

"It's time to send you to meet the three forbidden beasts!"

He gazed at the overwhelming "tide of filth" that threatened to plunge the entire starry sky back into chaos, and slowly raised his sword finger.

This time, his gaze became incredibly focused, incredibly... indifferent.

A pure "black" hue quietly bloomed at his fingertips.

[Heaven-Slaying Sword]!
He made a light stroke towards the raging torrent of filth and the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable who was trying to escape after the torrent.

A sword strike was unleashed.

It aimed at two completely different targets.

It slashed at the "existence" of [turbidity].

It also struck at the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable's... "hope." (End of Chapter)
