Living in the deep palace

Su Chen took a deep breath and adjusted his state to an unprecedented peak.

Then, he slowly poured his pure will, belonging to the "Way of the True Self," into the fragment of the Purifying Spirit Pearl.

Buzz—! ! ! !

After being activated by Su Chen's will, the seemingly ordinary crystal fragment instantly burst forth with dazzling light!

That light was not ordinary energy light, but a more essential kind of light, composed of the purest "mind" and "spirit" in the world... a light of purification!
The light rapidly spread, forming a pure, peaceful, milky-white sphere of light about a hundred feet in diameter.

This is the "Purification Domain"!
Within this domain, all negative emotions, all chaotic will, and all lingering memories will be mercilessly washed away and purified!
"Let's start with you."

Su Chen's gaze fell upon the "tainted source core" of the [turbid] type.

He carefully untied a corner of the seal he had set.

roar--!!!!

Almost the instant the seal was broken, a chaotic will filled with violence, madness, and resentment burst forth from the source core with a piercing scream!

Moreover, it transformed into a hideous demonic shadow composed of endless filthy liquid, baring its fangs and claws, and pounced towards Su Chen's true form!

"Don't even think about killing me like you killed Kui!"

"die!"

Although Zhuo had been killed by him, his remaining instincts and will were still incredibly powerful!
However, the moment it burst out of the source core, it crashed headfirst into the "purification domain" constructed by the Purifying Spirit Pearl!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—! !!!

It was as if a red-hot iron had been thrown into ice water!

The demonic shadow formed from the corrupt will let out an extremely shrill scream the moment it came into contact with the milky white purifying light!

His body, composed of negative energy, was as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and began to be purified and dissolved at a visible speed!
"No... what is this... light!!"

"Damn it! Get out of here!!"

The remnant will of [Turbidity] rampaged and roared wildly within the domain, attempting to pollute this pure space.

However, the power of the Purifying Pearl is at the "conceptual" level; it is the nemesis of "rules".

Its "purification" is an unquestionable "definition"!
Under its definition, everything that is not "pure" will have its "attributes" erased and will return to its "essence"!
Su Chen's eyes shone brightly. He clearly "saw" that, under the wash of that milky white light, the essence of [turbidity] was being forcibly... "separated"!
Among them, the “personality,” “emotions,” “memory,” “will,” and other “impurities” that belong to the “turbid” category—these “impurities” filled with chaos and madness—are gradually stripped away from the source by the light of purification.

Then, it is thoroughly washed away and neutralized, ultimately transforming into a pure "information flow" that has no "meaning" whatsoever.

What remains is the most fundamental element of [Turbidity], representing "chaos" and "filth"... the origin of the Great Dao!
"It's done!"

Su Chen smiled.

With the [Purifying Spirit Pearl], a treasure praised even by Chen Sheng, his subsequent devouring would pose few more risks.

Even fragments are barely enough.

At this moment, what appeared before him was an incomparably pure and immense energy that had shed all "personality" and was now nothing but the purest "power" and "law"!

This process lasted for seven days and seven nights.

After the last, mournful cry of the [Turbid] will completely disappeared from the purification realm.

What floated in front of Su Chen was no longer that hideous "filthy source core", but a slowly flowing, pitch-black river composed of the purest "chaotic origin laws"!
"Success!"

A flicker of joy crossed Su Chen's heart.

Instead of absorbing the "long river," he turned his gaze to another mass, the "Myriad Treasures Origin Qi" transformed from the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable.

He followed suit.

This chaotic mass of energy was also channeled into the "purification domain".

Compared to the original and pure will of [Turbidity], the "residue" of the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable is undoubtedly much more complex.

Among them are his pride as a Celestial Venerable, his obsession with magical treasures, his cunning in scheming everything, his fear when facing Su Chen, and even more... the endless and complex imprints left by the past owners of those tens of thousands of magical treasures!

In an instant, the entire purification realm seemed to have transformed into a bizarre and insane world of endless greed, desire, and scheming!
However, all these struggles are meaningless in the face of the absolute "purifying" power of the Purifying Pearl.

Another seven days and seven nights have passed.

When the realm returns to calm.

That colorful mass of "Ten Thousand Treasures Origin Energy" has been completely broken down into two parts.

Part of it is a source of the "Great Dao of Myriad Treasures" that, while far inferior to the "Turbid" one, is equally pure and belongs to the fourth realm.

It contains the complete insights of the Celestial Venerable of a Hundred Treasures regarding the ways of "refining treasures" and "controlling treasures".

The other part is an even larger and more dazzling cluster of tens of thousands of different fragments of "magical treasure laws"... a seven-colored nebula!
Each "star" represents the core principle of a spiritual treasure!

At this point, all the "ingredients" have been processed.

Next comes the real... feast!
Su Chen took a deep breath, and the illusory image of the 'Way of the True Self,' which was half chaos and half data, suddenly appeared behind him!

"Come!"

He opened his mouth and took a deep breath!
That pitch-black river, formed from the origin of "turbidity," was swallowed up by him like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!

boom--! ! ! !

It was as if a hundred universes were exploding simultaneously within Su Chen's body!

A terrifying force filled with "chaos" and "disorder" surged wildly through his limbs and bones, attempting to drag his Dao and his body into the most primordial chaos!
However, Su Chen's "Way of the True Self" is no longer what it used to be!

The Chaos Wheel suddenly spun, completely enveloping and assimilating this power!
The data wheel rapidly analyzes the profound truths of the "defiled laws" contained within it!

Driven by this immense power, Su Chen's late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal realm began to rise at an incredible speed, frantically ascending upwards!
Within his Dao Fruit, that miniature universe, patches of "chaotic nebulae" filled with unknowns and variables began to emerge!
These nebulae are completely different from the orderly galaxies that he evolved before; their very existence is a kind of "uncertainty"!
This made Su Chen's Dao more perfect, and also more... unfathomable!
He not only possessed "order," but also "chaos"!
After initially digesting the origin of the [turbidity], Su Chen did not stop and opened his mouth again!

This time, his target is the origin of the "Great Dao of Ten Thousand Treasures" of the Heavenly Venerable of a Hundred Treasures!
Although this power is far inferior to [Turbid] in terms of magnitude, the "knowledge" and "skills" it contains have opened a completely new door for Su Chen!

Countless profound pieces of information about "weapon refining," "spirit attachment," "array formations," and "restrictions" flooded into his mind.

In an instant, he seemed to transform into a master craftsman who had been immersed in this art for millions of years... a master craftsman!
The real transformation came from that last nebula, the "Law of Ten Thousand Treasures"!
After Su Chen swallowed the "nebula" composed of the core laws of tens of thousands of spiritual treasures, he also devoured it!
The data wheel behind him instantly reached an unprecedented speed, almost to the point of bursting into flames!

A spiritual treasure acquired later in life!
Ten pieces! One hundred pieces! One thousand pieces!

A primordial spiritual treasure!
Two items! Three items!
…… ……

In that instant, Su Chen seemed to have "analyzed" the vast majority of magical treasures in the world!
He understood their structure, comprehended their principles, and mastered their core!
This massive torrent of "knowledge," enough to drive any master craftsman mad, became the final straw that broke the camel's back!
boom--!!!!!!!!

Within Su Chen's body, the realm barrier that had already reached its limit shattered at this moment!
His aura instantly transcended the boundaries of the "late stage" and arrived at a completely new, more profound, and more perfect... new world!
Taiyi Golden Immortal... late-stage peak!
Just one step away from reaching the legendary end of the Taiyi Path—the realm of perfection!
In that instant, the universe within his body expanded wildly outward!
Its territory is so vast that it is almost comparable to any star system in the mythical universe!
The laws of the universe have become more stable and perfect!
The three forbidden wills that were originally lurking deep in his sea of ​​consciousness, like time bombs, were completely obliterated in this great transformation. Their last trace of "individuality" was also completely erased, turning into three silent "memory monuments" that contained only pure information. They became the most precious collections in his soul library.

With this, all his hidden dangers were eliminated!
His strength had reached an unprecedented, terrifying level that even he himself felt a chill run down his spine!
Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.

In his pupils, on one side, chaotic nebulae were being created and destroyed; on the other side, a torrent of data was surging.

He simply sat there quietly, yet he naturally exuded an unparalleled aura that was enough to make even the Ten Ancient Venerables bow down before him!
"Is this... the late-stage peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm?"

"So strong!"

"Now, my Heavenly Slaughter Sword can unleash even greater power, enough to slay even the Ten Ancient Venerables..."

He slowly clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him that seemed capable of crushing stars, and whispered softly.

He knew that if he were to face the combined forces of Baibao Tianzun and [Zhuo] now, he probably wouldn't even need to use [Heavenly Slaughter Sword] to easily kill them!

After sitting in meditation for several months and thoroughly consolidating his own realm, Su Chen slowly stood up.

His gaze pierced through the layers of space in the tomb of the gods, looking towards the vast sea of ​​stars.

A complex expression appeared on his face, one that was hard to tell whether it was coldness or pity.

"Then, next..."

"The hunt should continue."

……

This time, Su Chen did not set off immediately.

He stood there, seemingly deep in thought.

He slowly extended his right hand and raised his sword finger.

A pure, "ending" sword intent quietly emerged at his fingertips.

【Heavenly Killing Sword】.

This supreme divine power, which he created himself and was born for "killing," also increased in power as his cultivation level soared.

"'The end' represents the end of 'order', the end of everything."

Su Chen looked at the sword intent at his fingertips and murmured softly.

"This sword is indestructible and can cut through anything; it is the absolute 'subtraction'."

"but……"

In his mind, the chaotic origin of [Turbid] and the complex Daoist rhyme of "Myriad Treasures Resounding Together" of the Heavenly Venerable of a Hundred Treasures appeared.

A brand new idea quietly sprouted in his mind.

"If there is 'subtraction,' shouldn't there also be 'addition'?"

"If there is an end to 'order,' should there also be... a beginning to 'chaos'?"

"Will I be able to unleash a second sword strike after the [Heavenly Slaughter Sword]?"

"It's definitely worth a try..."

His left hand slowly formed a sword-like finger.

This time, what condensed at his fingertips was no longer pure "pitch black".

Instead, it was a dazzling, multicolored light, full of uncertainty, as if it were formed from all the "contradictions" and "chaos" in the world... a chaotic sword light!
Within this sword light, there was the sharpness of a magical artifact, the corrosive power of filth, the desolation of stars, and the withering of life...

It is like a combination of the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable and [Turbidity], but it is even more...pure than them!
"This sword is not for 'ending', but for 'disintegration'."

"It does not sever 'existence,' but rather 'constitution.'"

"It wants to reduce everything that is orderly to its most primitive, chaotic and disorderly state."

Su Chen looked at the chaotic sword light, full of danger and uncertainty, at the fingertips of his left hand, and a flash of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.

"This sword should be named..."

"Heavenly Slaughter Second Sword - [All Laws Return to Nothingness]".

With this thought in mind, Su Chen simultaneously swung his left and right hands forward!
A jet-black "Ending" sword mark and a chaotic "Disintegration" sword mark appeared simultaneously in the void!

The two, one on the left and one on the right, one yin and one yang, one still and one moving, subtly form a profound and mysterious balance!
"One sword, life. One sword, death."

"One sword, the beginning. One sword, the end."

"This is my complete path now."

A satisfied smile appeared on Su Chen's face.

He withdrew his supernatural powers, and the last trace of discomfort caused by the surge in power vanished.

He has completely taken control of this new power.

He closed his eyes again, sensing the location of the fifth "beacon".

This time, he's going to hunt the one among the ten forbidden ancient life forms that represents the origin of "power" and "protection"...

【helmet】!
This forbidden beast, even if it is not the number one among the ten forbidden life forms, is definitely a top contender.

Forbidden King!

"On this journey, I must reach the peak of the Golden Immortal realm!"

Su Chen turned and left. (End of Chapter)
