Living in the deep palace

The words of the Ancient Venerable Tianyi struck the hearts of all the "Venerables" present like a thunderbolt.

Ninety percent!

Once upon a time, the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable, who was omnipotent in their eyes, whose words could subdue all paths and who firmly held the number one position in the era, now only had a 90% chance of success when facing Su Chen!

To know.

Even if all the Venerables present joined forces to fight against Tianyi Ancient Venerable, they would not have that so-called 10% chance of winning.

This realization shocked them even more than the previous cruel "truth".

The way they looked at Su Chen had completely changed.

There was no longer a trace of contempt or hostility, and even the sense of equal scrutiny had vanished.

Instead, there is a sense of awe, a kind of instinctive reverence for a higher level of life.

"Even the Golden Immortal of the Third Realm hasn't reached perfection yet, and this is already the case."

"What would happen if we actually stepped into the fourth realm in the future?"

"The legendary Taiyi Golden Immortals are not uncommon in the starry universe back when the Immortal Ancestor still existed. How could anyone be so powerful!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea clicked his tongue in amazement.

The other ancient venerables exchanged glances, equally astonished.

At this time, the Celestial Venerable was probably quite special among the many Taiyi Golden Immortals.

"It's done."

"Indeed, this trip has been very fruitful."

Su Chen ignored the uproar in everyone's hearts.

He was experiencing a tremendous transformation within his own inner universe.

After merging with it, the "Heaven and Earth Furnace" transformed into a special domain burning with eternal white flames, constantly tempering his physical body and soul.

The [Power] that stood within it had its aura perfectly fused with this immortal aperture, making its strength three times greater than that of the outside world!

"This is my future path..."

Su Chen suddenly understood, “With my inner universe, I will bear the ten origins and transform them into the ten ‘Immortal Apertures of the Dao.’ Ultimately, with my will, I will govern all the Daos and forge… my true ‘self’!”

"That will be the time when I break through to the Golden Immortal Perfection, or even the fourth realm!"

"Back then."

"I will be invincible. What nonsense is this Heavenly Calamity? Even if it's the absolute fourth realm that restrains the Great Luo Immortal, so what?"

"Just a worthless piece of trash."

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze restrained yet seemingly containing a universe about to be born.

"Take a short rest, then set off immediately."

He gave an order that left no room for argument.

"Great Evolution Celestial Venerable, intelligence on the next target."

"Yes..." The voice of the Great Evolution Celestial Venerable carried a trace of heartfelt respect. He forcibly suppressed the injuries to his Dao Foundation, and once again burned his divine soul to deduce the secrets of heaven.

After a while,
He opened his eyes, his face deathly pale, and said in a dry voice, "Next target, [speed]."

"The place where it is sealed is called the 'Ancient Eye of the Wind,' which is the origin formed from an ever-flowing spacetime turbulence at the beginning of the universe."

“There… there is no concept of ‘distance’, only the law of ‘speed’.”

"According to my deduction, [speed] is not 'fast', but 'speed' itself. Any attack, any divine thought, will be infinitely 'stretched' in front of Him, and thus... can never be touched."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

If strength is absolute "fierceness," making it difficult for them to resist, then speed is absolute "emptiness," also quite troublesome!

of course.

It's just a tricky situation.

With so many venerable ones present, it would only require a little effort at most.

"One can't be broken, and the other can't be touched..."

"It's really troublesome."

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea gave a bitter smile. The wound on his chest was slowly healing under the nourishment of the Imperial Dragon Qi, but against such a strange enemy, his proud physical body and strength would be useless.

“It’s alright.” Su Chen’s face remained calm. “Since we can’t catch up with Him, then… let Him stop on His own.”

"In my opinion, this one is the simplest."

……

Ancient eye of the storm.

This is a bizarre and wondrous wasteland.

Countless distorted rays of light, like colorful ribbons, frantically shuttled and intertwined in this void, forming a gigantic, slowly rotating "eye of the storm".

Just by getting close, everyone felt that the flow of time within them had become chaotic.

One moment, ten thousand years seem like a fleeting instant; the next, a single breath feels like eternity.

"The seal is located in the very center of the eye of the storm!"

At Su Chen's command, the group, bracing themselves against the pressure of this spatial distortion, struggled to fly towards the only "calm" area at the center of the storm.

Within the eye of the storm, all was deathly silent.

A humanoid silhouette composed of pure light is bound to the center of the void by nine dim, lifeless chains that seem to be formed from "frozen time".

His figure flickered constantly, as if he might leap from this space-time to another dimension at any moment.

"Do it!"

This time, everyone was prepared. Xinghe Tianzun and the others directly unleashed their Great Dao, transforming it into a net that sealed off the entire eye of the storm.

The difficulty with speed lies in escaping.

Once we can turn this into a cage to restrain the other party, things will be much easier from here on out.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Emperor of the East Sea and [Power] attacked simultaneously, unleashing their most ferocious power at the nine "time chains"!
Click——!
The seal is broken!

At the very moment that humanoid figure of light broke free!
Swish!
He disappeared.

Without the slightest warning, it simply vanished from everyone's perception.

"Here it comes!" Star River Celestial Venerable roared, and the Zhou Tian Star Array instantly operated to its limit, with billions of starlight falling down, trying to illuminate all illusions!
However, the next moment!
laugh!
A tiny scratch appeared out of thin air on the starlight barrier he had set up.

Immediately afterwards, a Celestial Venerable responsible for maintaining the array's core let out a muffled groan, and a similar scratch appeared on his Daoist robe, from which a wisp of immortal blood splattered!
"To the east!"

"No! It's to the west!"

"Damn it! We can't detect it at all!"

"This speed is not right. It has probably devoured something else, and its origin has greatly increased."

"Damn it!"

"There it is! Find it quickly!"

Chaos erupted instantly!
The "venerable ones" present were like toyed children, passively enduring the invisible attacks from all directions.

The attacks weren't particularly powerful, but they were incredibly fast and unpredictable, leaving them defenseless and in a sorry state!

Even the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable only frowned slightly.

Although his "Tai Chi Dao Diagram" can balance all things, speed never comes into contact with him, like a wisp of breeze that cannot be captured, just passing by the edge of his Daoist aura.

“A group of…slow…stones…”

"You want to capture me?"

"Don't even think about it. As long as I want to walk, the road is right under my feet."

A broken, lighthearted, and playful will resonated in everyone's hearts.

"Everyone, step back." At that moment, Su Chen's calm voice resounded throughout the entire venue.

He slowly walked to the center of the battlefield, facing the empty void.

What is the end of speed?

He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps questioning the invisible enemy.

It is 'still'.

The moment the words fell!
Om-!
A surge of primordial power, filled with "end" and "rest," belonging to the [Tomb], erupted from his body!

He did not attempt to capture [speed].

Instead, it created an absolute... "static domain" centered on itself!
In this realm, the concept of "movement" is forcibly given an "end point"!
scoff!

A streak of light traveling at high speed seemed to crash into an invisible wall the instant it touched the edge of this area. Its speed was forcibly reduced from "infinite" to "finite"!
For the first time, the figure composed of pure light revealed its form!
It was a slender life form composed of countless light particles, with an indistinct face.

At this moment, His body, which was radiating light, was flashing intensely, and for the first time, His face revealed an emotion called "astonishment".

He was forcibly... "slowed down"!

"Speed ​​without purpose is nothing but meaningless exile."

Su Chen took a step forward, instantly traversing the distance of time and space, and arrived in front of [Speed].

"I grant you... a home."

He reached out his hand, a hand that seemed to possess the magic to end all things, and slowly pressed it against [Speed]'s forehead.

However, just as his palm was about to touch [Speed]!

A sudden change occurred!

The spacetime wound in the Sea of ​​Silence that connects to the world beyond the "door" suddenly throbbed violently!
A chaotic will, far colder and more malevolent than when the skeletal apostles descended before, traversed endless time and space and precisely descended upon this "Ancient Eye of the Wind"!
"Hehehe...Found...a new...toy..."

That malevolent will ignored Su Chen and directly invaded the pure core of [Speed]'s will!
hum! ! !
[Speed] That pure white body of light was instantly stained with an ominous black! Its speed, at this moment, became violent and full of destruction!
"Not good! The Skeleton Lord has made his move! He wants to corrupt [Speed] and turn him into his puppet!"

"This is one of the few remaining locks."

"Now he's got it."

"This could be extremely dangerous!"

Tianyi Ancient Venerable's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sternly.

after all.

This is the terrifying fifth realm that killed Chen Sheng; no one wants to face him at this moment.

Do not!
Nobody wanted to face him.

Even the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable is no exception!

"Trying to make a move now? Too late!"

"Now that I know, you won't be able to interfere with any of the last few locks..."

A hint of absolute coldness flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

"【force】!"

roar--!!!!

The bronze giant who had been standing behind him suddenly let out a silent roar!

Instead of attacking the corrupted [Speed], He condensed the will containing "absolute power" into an invisible heavy hammer and slammed it fiercely towards the "chaotic will" that had crossed boundaries!

This is a matter of will, the purest form of head-on collision!
At the same time, Su Chen's hand finally landed on [Su]'s forehead!

"You dare to steal my things?"

"roll!"

That domineering "thought imprint" and that pure "stillness" power erupted simultaneously!

Two-pronged!

"what--!!"

The will of [Speed] and the will of the Skeleton Lord simultaneously let out a painful scream!

In the end, the foreign "chaotic will" was ultimately defeated by the brute force of [Power] and Su Chen's forceful expulsion, and was forcibly forced out!

And the ominous blackness on [Speed]'s body also faded away.

His flickering body of light slowly coalesced and took shape before Su Chen.

Then, he bowed deeply to Su Chen.

“My…master.”

……

……

With the submission of [Speed], Su Chen now commands [Power] and [Speed], the two locks that seal the Skeleton Lord.

However, such smooth progress caused Su Chen to frown.

"strangeness."

"Does the Skeleton Lord have no means of countering him?"

"Even if he's sealed and restricted, it shouldn't be like this... He's the Skeleton Lord of the Fifth Realm..."

Su Chen frowned.

He could clearly feel that he was becoming more and more closely connected with the most fundamental laws of this "dream universe".

After witnessing firsthand the cross-dimensional pollution of the Skeleton Lord's will and Su Chen's domineering "purification" and "subjugation," the last trace of doubt and hesitation in the hearts of the nineteen "Venerable Ones" completely turned into resolute determination.

They finally understood that this was not just Su Chen's war, but a final battle for survival that concerned every one of them!
"Lord Shi..." For the first time, the East Sea Dragon Emperor's voice carried a hint of heartfelt admiration, "What should we do next?"

His posture has quietly shifted from that of a coerced "ally" to that of a "warrior" who obeys orders.

Su Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

After two major battles, especially the recent impact of the Skeleton Lord's will, many "Venerables" were greatly exhausted, and even their Dao hearts were somewhat shaken.

Fortunately, none of the twenty supreme beings in the universe were injured or killed.

future.

He also planned to take these twenty fourth-realm beings to the Star Sea of ​​the future to join his Taiyi Dao Palace and build his own power.

"Wait a minute."

With a thought, the slender [Swift] who had just submitted transformed into a stream of light and entered his body.

"Rest here for an hour." Su Chen's voice left no room for doubt. "After an hour, we will go and meet the remaining two."

Having said that, he sat cross-legged in the void, his eyes slightly closed, and began to digest the insights he had just gained from subduing [Speed], and used the universe within his body to restore the original source of his two major combat forces.

Also.

Somewhere.

He had a feeling that as long as he absorbed the power and speed, he could definitely become a Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation.

Our combat power has increased dramatically ever since!

But obviously.

Su Chen is not stupid.

Trying to exchange two locks for the Golden Immortal Perfection realm is nothing short of courting death.

Seeing this, everyone seized the precious time, swallowed divine pills, circulated their Dao, and tried their best to restore their own condition.

An hour passed in a flash.

When Su Chen opened his eyes again, the team's morale had returned to its peak. (End of Chapter)
