Living in the deep palace

At that very moment, Su Chen suddenly turned around and pointed at himself!

"I will use my 'True Self' as the core of this new 'lock'!"

“Use these ten fundamental elements as ‘fuel’!”

"Use the power of your great Dao as 'divine fire'!"

"We're no longer going to 'repair' that old lock!"

"Instead, it will be reforged, one that belongs only to our era, one that 'I' will control, one that is truly 'alive'..."

"The Supreme Lock!"

Upon hearing this, even the figure of Tianyi Ancient Venerable, whose form was interwoven with light and shadow, trembled violently!
This is no longer defying fate!
This is the "Dao" left behind by... the Fifth Realm being who overthrew Chen Sheng Immortal Ancestor!
This is acting as if one is in the "fourth realm" but is doing the work of the "fifth realm"!
Only those at the fifth realm can be sealed, just like the fallen Chen Sheng, who used terrifying methods to imprison the Ten Forbidden Beasts and suppress the endless opportunities of the Skeleton Lord with the Star Sea World.

And now.

Su Chen was also doing the same thing.

“Su Zun…”

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea's voice was extremely hoarse, "This undertaking... is ten thousand times more difficult than anything you've done before! How confident are you?"

"Before subduing [Destruction], I have no chance whatsoever."

A look of absolute confidence appeared on Su Chen's face.

"but now……"

He slowly stretched out his hand, and in his palm, the black and green symbols representing the cycle of "life" and "death" rotated slowly.

"I'm already 100% there!"

This confidence is not arrogance.

Rather, after he had initially grasped the "cycle of life and death," his path to the fifth realm had become completely stable!

He is now undoubtedly the strongest in this "dream" world!
"but……"

His tone suddenly shifted, becoming incredibly cold.

"When the 'lock' is forged, I will be the 'lock' itself. All my will will be devoted to forging the Ten Great Origins, leaving no time for anything else."

"And that will be the last chance for the Skeleton Lord!"

Su Chen's gaze swept over the nineteen "Venerable Ones" before him.

"He will spare no expense to launch a final counterattack that is ten thousand times more terrifying than the 'Withering Legion' just now!"

"I need you to block him for me."

"This battle will be the last battle of this era. After this battle, either we will usher in a new era, or this world, along with us, will be completely reduced to nothingness."

"Everyone..."

His voice resounded through the sky.

"Do you dare to fight me to the death?!"

"Hahaha……"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea was the first to laugh wildly, looking up at the sky!
His enormous dragon body shone with a fierce fighting spirit and the might of the imperial dragon!

"We cling to life in this 'dream,' calling ourselves 'masters,' but in reality, we are nothing more than 'burial goods'! How pathetic!"

"Today, I am fortunate to follow Su Zun and fight against the heavens for the 'tomorrow' of this world and for our own 'existence'!"

"I am the Dragon Emperor of the East Sea..."

"Why don't you dare!!"

"What's there to be afraid of?!"

Star River Celestial Venerable, Great Evolution Celestial Venerable...

Even the Hundred Treasures Celestial Venerable, who had been killed by Su Chen once and resurrected by Tianyi Ancient Venerable, now had a flame called "determination to die" burning in his eyes!

We cannot afford to fight to the death!
after all.

The feud has now been formed.

The arrow is on the string and must be released; the outcome is simply a matter of speaking frankly.

Even if the Skeleton Lords escape, even if they flee into the real Star Sea world of the future, what difference would it make?
It's still a dead end.

No one wanted the Skeleton Lord to escape, because the terror of a Fifth Realm cultivator was something that they, as Fourth Realm cultivators, could not withstand.

"I am willing to fight to the death alongside Su Zun!!"

Nineteen rulers of the universe.

The nineteen paths represent the pinnacle of power in this era, and at this moment, their wills are completely integrated with Su Chen!
The final ceremony began.

Su Chen sat cross-legged directly in front of the menacing "Dark Gate," like an ancient and unchanging deity.

Behind him, the nineteen "venerable ones" held nothing back!

"All the stars in the heavens, heed my command!"

Star River Celestial Venerable was the first to sacrifice his own Great Dao Origin!
His Taoist robe, formed from billions of stars, suddenly disintegrated, transforming into 365 "Zhou Tian Star Banners" that shone with endless starlight, which were then planted at various nodes in the void!

"The imperial might and dragon's might suppress the entire universe!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea roared and actually pulled out a "Ten Thousand Year Dragon Spine" that was stained with his imperial origin from his own spine!
"The Great Evolution of Heavenly Secrets shields all laws!"

The Great Evolution Celestial Venerable slammed his already cracked compass against his brow, sacrificing his own Dao Fruit to construct a "Heavenly Secret Barrier" that distorted cause and effect!
……

……

At this moment, each of the "venerable ones" unleashed their most powerful and secretive methods!

They actually used their own Dao and lives as a foundation to construct a barrier behind Su Chen and in front of the "Gate of Darkness," formed by the combined efforts of nineteen fourth-realm powerhouses...

"The Barrier of God"!
Meanwhile, Tianyi Ancient Venerable floated at the very center of the great formation. His "Taiji Dao Diagram" became the eye of the formation, harmonizing nineteen completely different Dao powers and perfectly integrating them into one!
"Su Chen!"

“Just do it!”

"We are here. I refuse to believe that we, working together, cannot withstand the life within the universe of the Skeleton Lord..."

The resolute will of the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable entered Su Chen's sea of ​​consciousness: "We... are ready!"

"it is good!"

Su Chen's eyes snapped open!

"The ten sources return to one, entering my divine furnace!"

A loud shout!
boom--! ! ! !

Within Su Chen's body, the 'Path of the True Self,' which had one foot in the fifth realm, erupted completely without reservation at this moment!
A colossal "Great Dao Divine Furnace," seemingly formed from Su Chen's will, towering hundreds of millions of feet tall, with an indistinct face, descended upon this silent sea!

Next!

"[Kui]! Return to your positions!"

A jet-black light, representing "devouring," flew out from Su Chen's body, transforming into the "bottom" of the divine furnace, devouring all chaos!
"[Armor]! Return to your positions!"

A dark golden light, representing "protection," transformed into the "furnace wall" of the divine furnace, isolating it from all external forces!
"[Turbid]! Return to your positions!"

A chaotic light representing "chaos" transformed into the "furnace fire" of the divine furnace, melting and refining all laws!
"[Spirit]! Return to your place!"

A vast nebula representing "consciousness" transforms into the "furnace spirit" of the divine furnace, controlling all changes!
"【Tomb】! Return to your place!" A cold light representing "stillness" transformed into the "lid" of the divine furnace, suppressing all turmoil!
"Waaaah! Back in your positions!"

A gray current, representing "decay," swirled around the furnace fire, giving it the power of "ending"!
"Power! Speed! Life! Death!"

"Back to your positions!!!"

Su Chen roared in anger!

The three forbidden ancient beings that he had subdued, along with the "annihilation" origin that he had just taken control of, roared in unison, transforming into four of the purest and most primordial "law elixir," which surged into the divine furnace!
All ten fundamental principles are gathered!

Using Su Chen's "true self" as the furnace, "chaos" as the fire, "consciousness" as the spirit, and "devouring," "protecting," and "stillness" as the foundation...

Forced forging, [Force], [Speed], [Life], [Death], [Desolation]... these five supreme laws representing the most extreme "concepts" of the universe!

This is Su Chen's final plan!
"Lock casting! Begin!"

At this moment, all of Su Chen's will sank into that "Great Dao Divine Furnace"!
And in that very instant!

"Roar--!!!!!"

Behind the door, the Skeleton Lord's roar, filled with endless rage and madness, almost shattered the entire universe!
This is the opportunity he's been waiting for!

"You brat! How dare you!!"

"You really think that a bunch of ants wallowing in their dreams can... stop the arrival of reality?!"

"My subjects! 'Calamity,' 'Rotten,' and 'Despair'! The three great princes!"

"Crush this world!!"

Boom-! ! ! !

That "Dark Gate" was forcibly torn apart once again by a Fifth Realm will that was ten thousand times more terrifying than when the Skeleton Grand Duke descended!
The three figures, whose auras were in no way weaker than, and even faintly stronger than, the more terrifying and evil figure above the "Great Duke of Bones," stepped out from the endless darkness!
A "Prince of Calamity" whose body is shrouded in the laws of "misfortune" and "misfortune," and in his presence all things decay!
A "Rotten Prince" whose body seems to be made up of billions of the most vicious "plagues" and "rot", and even time and space decay before him!
A "Prince of Despair" who wields the "Scythe of Despair" and whose mere glance is enough to shatter the Dao heart of a fourth-realm expert!
The three princes!

These are the three strongest legion leaders under the Skeleton Lord, apart from the already fallen "Withered"!
"not good!"

At this moment, even the will of the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable was frozen!
He can only stop one person at most!

The three of them... all came out together?!

This is a certain death situation!

"Hehehe... A bunch of pathetic insects in a painting."

The "Prince of Calamity," whose entire body was shrouded in the law of "misfortune," let out a grotesque laugh that made one's teeth ache.

He simply pointed casually at the "wall of God".

"I have bestowed upon you... misfortune."

Om-!
An invisible yet irresistible force of "misfortune" descended in an instant!

The "divine barrier" formed by the lives of nineteen "Venerable Ones" suddenly experienced a disruption in the originally perfectly flowing power of the Great Dao within it!
"puff!"

The Heavenly Venerable of a Hundred Treasures is the first to be affected!
His already unstable Dao foundation, which had just been resurrected, collapsed on the spot under the curse of this "misfortune"!

He deflated like a punctured balloon, instantly slumping down!
"Damn it! My laws... have gone out of control!"

The Great Evolution Celestial Venerable was utterly horrified! He discovered that his "Heavenly Secrets" power was actually turning against him relentlessly!
Just one sentence!

This caused signs of collapse to appear on this seemingly impregnable "divine fortress"!
"Hahaha! How...fragile!"

The "Rotten Prince" opened his enormous mouth, which was dripping with pus, and suddenly inhaled!
"Life...will...rot!"

call--!
A highly toxic breath, filled with "plague" and "decay," surged towards the great formation!

"Imperial might and dragon's might! Invulnerable to all laws!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea, enduring the discomfort brought by the "misfortune," roared and held his massive dragon body in front of him, attempting to withstand the attack with his powerful physique!
however!
Chirp chirp chirp —

The highly venomous breath emitted a terrifying corrosive sound the moment it came into contact with his impenetrable dragon scales!

The golden dragon scales that the Dragon Emperor of the East Sea was so proud of quickly turned black, rotted, and fell off under this breath!
"Roar--!!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea let out an extremely painful roar!
"ended."

Finally, the prince wielding the "Scythe of Despair" slowly raised his weapon.

He exudes an aura of absolute "despair" that is enough to make all living beings give up all resistance!
He will shatter the "hope" of these ants with a single blow, along with the "variable" behind them that is "forging the final lock"!
"Don't even think about it!!!"

At this critical moment!
The First Ancient Venerable, who lived the longest, saw the farthest, and bore the deepest despair, suddenly stood in front of everyone!

"Everyone..."

His figure, a tapestry of light and shadow, became incredibly solid at this moment!

"I have observed countless 'futures'..."

"In the 99% chance of the 'future,' we will all be reduced to nothingness."

"And the only... less than 10% 'variable'..."

He slowly turned around, glanced at the "Great Dao Divine Furnace" that was burning fiercely, and then at Su Chen, whose will had completely sunk into the "Forging Lock".

"...there it is."

“I am the first ‘Venerable One’ born in this ‘dream’…”

"Then, I will put... the final period on this 'dream'."

On the face of the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable, a smile of relief appeared on his face, which was interwoven with light and shadow.

"Su Chen..."

"The future of this world is entrusted to you!"

"In the beginning, all things returned to oneness... a sacrifice!!"

boom--!!!!!!

Tianyi Ancient Venerable, the strongest being of this era.

At this moment, without hesitation, he ignited his own Great Dao! He ignited his own divine soul! He ignited everything that had existed since the beginning of the universe...
He did not attack!
Instead, it transformed itself into the purest, most primal, and most... brilliant!

"Light"!
An absolute "Guardian Light" formed from the "Primordial" Way!
This light instantly enveloped the entire "Barrier of God," forcibly dispelling the curse of "misfortune"!

Purify all that "rotten" poison!
"clang--!!!!!"

The "Prince of Despair" scythe, powerful enough to shatter all "hope," slashed fiercely at this "Guardian Light"!

The sickle was... deflected!
"what?!"

The three princes simultaneously showed expressions of disbelief and horror!
A native from a "dream" actually sacrificed himself to forcibly unleash an absolute protective force comparable to the threshold of the fifth realm?!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The three princes have gone mad!

They went berserk, unleashing their strongest attacks at the "Guardian Light" formed from the life of the Heavenly One Ancient Venerable!
The light was trembling violently!
The light is rapidly dimming!

But, in the end, it did... block the way!

It blocked the terrifying attack of three Fourth Realm Great Perfection experts!
"Tianyi!!!!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea was furious! He watched helplessly as the aura of the Ancient Venerable Tianyi slowly...vanished within the light!
He was using his "death" to exchange for Su Chen, for this world, that last and most precious thing...

Ten breaths! (End of Chapter)
