Living in the deep palace

If Su Chen's killing of Cang Daoren with three punches surprised the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus.

So now!

When Su Chen revealed this living [Waste] essence!
For the first time, the Dao heart of the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus, which had been as still as a deep well for countless epochs, was filled with a feeling of fear!

“【Wu】…”

"[Extinction]..."

"What...what exactly did he do in that dreamlike starry sea?!"

"He is more than just a Taiyi seed from the Heavenly Realm!"

"He...he actually became the successor of Chen Sheng! You must know, in terms of cultivation level, Chen Sheng is only inferior to Hai Zun, far surpassing my intelligence..."

"No!"

"He's more dangerous than Chen Sheng!"

"Chen Sheng used the Ten Great Origins as locks to suppress the Skeleton Venerable!"

"And he... actually transformed these ten fundamental sources... into his own Dao!"

"madman!"

"This madman!"

"He is the core of that newly born Supreme True Lock! His attainments and comprehension have actually touched the threshold of the fifth realm, it's simply unbelievable."

At this moment, the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus finally connected everything!
"kill!"

"We must! At all costs! Annihilate him here!"

"He absolutely cannot leave the Burial God Formation alive!"

The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus was in a complete panic!

His terrifying fifth-realm will poured into the great formation!
"Grand Formation - All Demons Return to One!"

"Hell Path - Source of Decay!"

boom!
That star field that was just cleared out by the power of [Waste]!

Those billions of blood-red skeletal runes melted away at that moment!

They transformed into a real ocean, a tapestry of blood and black!
This ocean is so filthy!

So evil!
It seems to be the embodiment of all the negativity and decay in this cosmic universe!

The ocean was writhing wildly!

Ultimately, they coalesced into a colossal, towering demon!

This demon was even larger than the soul of the Styx in the long river of time!

It has no fixed form.

It looked as if it was forcibly glued together by endless pus and withered bones!

On its chest was a black lotus flower that was exactly the same as the original body of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord!

"The Fourth Realm...Great Perfection!"

If the Ancient Venerable Tianyi were here, he would be horrified once again!
This is the strongest Dao Body that the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus forcibly created by sacrificing the great array and using his own origin as a guide! It is not comparable to the souls of the dead in the River of Time, but a true fourth realm of great perfection, with Dao Fruit, Immortal Aperture, and comprehension all in place.

"Su Chen!"

The demon spoke.

Its voice is no longer the voice of any individual.

Rather, it was the cold, venomous will of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord!
"It can force me to use the source of decay!"

"You ant of the third realm... even if you were a Taiyi seed cultivated by the Heavenly Domain, a candidate for the fifth realm..."

"You too, you can be proud even in death!"

"A decaying world!"

The super demon suddenly opened its enormous maw made of pus!

call!
A visible gray storm erupted from its mouth!

This is not [dross]!
This is the Dao of the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus!

It is the ultimate plague capable of causing the entire world to rot!

Wherever this storm goes!
Even the space itself is rotting!
Even the main road is wailing!
Faced with this fatal blow driven by the will of the fifth realm!
A hint of seriousness finally appeared on Su Chen's usually calm face.

"Now that's starting to get interesting."

He slowly raised his right hand, which had just released the power of [Wu].

"Your path is rotten."

"And my path..."

"They're new students!"

Su Chen suddenly spread his five fingers and pressed them against the demonic foundation formed by the great formation from a distance!

"【born】!"

boom!
A force completely opposite to that corrupt storm!
A divine green light, brimming with endless vitality and new life!

It suddenly erupted from Su Chen's palm!

This is not supernatural power!
This is the origin of life!

It is the absolute vitality governed by [Reincarnation]!
Jianmu... has arrived!
hum!
Behind Su Chen, the phantom of the Jianmu Universe flashed and disappeared!
The boundless power of the Jianmu tree, flowing along the source of life, surged wildly into this great array of death!
then……

The miracle happened!
The foundation stones of that array, constructed from blood-red bones, should have been synonymous with death!

now!

Nourished by the power of the Jianmu tree!

actually……

It's sprouted?!

Yes!

It's sprouted!
One after another, emerald green vines, full of holiness and vitality, grew wildly from the decaying base of the array, using the bones as nourishment!

"This...this...this..."

The will of the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus completely failed at this moment!

What did He see?!

He saw His proud burial formation of gods...

That desolate wasteland built from the source of decay...

It was all decided by Su Chen's single thought!
It has become a sacred forest?!
"No!"

"My formation!"

"My source of decay!"

The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus let out a horrified scream!

He was horrified to discover!
His super-demon body was rapidly weakening!

Its decaying essence, which constitutes its body, is being frantically drained by the wildly growing sacred vines!

Devour!

Su Chen was actually...eating?!
Is it devouring His great formation?!

[Life] has restrained decay!

Jianmu has devoured hell!
This is the most unreasonable thing on the path of righteousness...

Absolute crush!

“Crack…Crack…”

That towering, earth-shattering super demon, its enormous body was being frantically entangled and devoured by the sacred vines!

It quickly became shriveled and withered...

finally!
"Oh!"

Along with the half-spewed, decaying storm, it exploded with a deafening roar!
It transformed into nourishment for that sacred forest!
"puff!"

Beyond the stars of the present world.

In that ancient void.

The Dao body of the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus, constructed of darkness, suddenly trembled violently!
A mouthful of pitch-black blood containing the essence of the fifth realm gushed out!

The great formation has been broken!
It was forcibly eaten in a way that He could not understand at all!

Not only did He fail to bury Su Chen!
Instead, it cost it the accumulation of countless eras and a precious trace of its origin!

“Su…Chen…”

For the first time, the Dark Lotus Saint Lord's dark eyes were devoid of fanaticism, greed, and resentment...

All that remained was an uncontrollable fear emanating from the depths of one's soul!

"The Celestial Realm..."

"You bunch of old geezers..."

"What...what kind of monster have you cultivated?! All the Taiyi seeds of all time are no match for this person..." The will of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord dared not linger for even a moment longer!

"Shh!"

His probing gaze, along with all the remaining hellish Daoist energy after the great formation shattered, receded like a tide at this moment!

Escaped!

The will of this ancient holy lord of the Ruins Realm...

They were actually scared away by Su Chen, this ant who had only reached the third stage of perfection!

……

……

The Burial God Formation was completely shattered.

The sacred forest that had been nurtured by the power of the Jianmu tree, after losing its nourishment, slowly turned into specks of blue light and dissipated behind Su Chen.

The surroundings returned to deathly silence.

But this time.

It was no longer the lifeless stillness of the formation.

Rather, it is the cold, dark, and heavy reality of the present-day starry sea!
Su Chen floated silently in this unfamiliar starry sky.

He could sense that the malicious intent of the spying had completely disappeared.

"The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus..."

Su Chen murmured the name.

"So this is the fifth-realm expert outside the gate..."

"Even the descent of the will of the fifth realm is so powerful. It is indeed much more troublesome than the Skeleton Lord in the dream."

Although he won.

But it also gave us the most direct understanding of this real-world starry sky.

This is not the mythological era.

This is the present-day Star Sea. Since he left, no one knows what has happened to the Star Sea, but it has definitely become the domain of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord.

This is a dark forest that is even more dangerous and cruel.

His twenty companions, who had just awakened from their dream and knew nothing about this world, had probably encountered other dangers as well!

Under the threat of the Fifth Realm, those so-called Immortal Grandmasters and Ancient Gods of the present-day Star Sea have probably already submitted to the Nether Lotus Saint Lord.

after all.

Putting aside the terrifying Heavenly Calamity that restrains the Immortal Path, just the fact that the Holy Lord of the Underworld made a move across realms and space, how many people in the Fourth Realm would dare to resist it?

Su Chen slowly closed his eyes.

His divine sense, perfected at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, merged with the Daoist aura of the Jianmu tree, spreading wildly in all directions!
The path of the present-day starry sea is so heavy!
His divine sense was greatly suppressed here.

If any fourth-realm Venerable were here, their divine sense probably wouldn't even be able to leave a single star system.

But Su Chen's Dao is the Jianmu Tree! It is the Taiyi Dao, which transcends this realm!

His divine sense continued to stubbornly extend...

A galaxy...

Ten galaxies...

A star field!
at last!

On the edge of his divine consciousness.

He caught a glimpse of a familiar yet anxious and furious dragon's might!

"The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea!"

Su Chen's eyes snapped open!

He sensed it!
The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea is fighting!

He seems to be caught in a troublesome siege!

"Humph!"

"Were you hunted down as soon as you came out...?"

"What a warm welcome ceremony!"

A cold killing intent flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

He took a step forward!
His figure instantly merged into the nothingness of this mortal star sea.

They sped off in the direction from which the dragon's might emanated... in an instant!

just now.

All he needed to do was to reunite the twenty supreme beings of the Fallen Era in the Dream Star Sea to resist the power of the Underworld Lotus!

……

……

In the present-day starry sea, on the edge of the wilderness, lies a desolate and broken star field. This is a chaotic reef zone of the spacetime route, littered with the remains of shattered worlds and raging spatial rifts.

"Roar--!"

A dragon's roar, filled with boundless rage and frustration, suddenly resounded across this chaotic reef area!

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea, the emperor who once dominated the world and ruled the four seas in the mythological era, is now caught in the most miserable and bitter battle of his life!
His true form, a golden dragon with ten thousand claws that could span several star systems, had shrunk to less than ten thousand feet.

The once invulnerable Imperial Dragon Scales were now dull and covered with hideous scars that shimmered with filthy black energy!
"Damn it! Damn it!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea was roaring madly in his heart!
He had never felt so frustrated!

Just moments ago, he was thrown out by the "God-Burial Array" and plunged into this unfamiliar sea of ​​stars. Before he could even make out his surroundings, a terrifying malice emanating from this world crashed down upon him!

That was rejection! It was the Great Dao Laws of the entire mortal star sea frantically rejecting and suppressing him, this "visitor from the dream"!
Under this suppression, his proud "late stage of the fourth realm" imperial dragon might was actually suppressed by 99%!

His Dragon God Dao, which should have been able to manifest through his words, shattered like a bubble in the face of these real laws!
Despite possessing the late stage of the Fourth Realm, he could only exert combat power barely at the "early stage of the Fourth Realm"!

And his enemies...

"Hehehe... What a magnificent 'dragon corpse'!"

"These are the 'lost souls' that Lord Minglian ordered us to hunt down? Tsk tsk, these 'lost souls' from other star seas seem quite unaccustomed to the Great Dao of this star sea, don't they?"

Three figures, each exuding the same "Fourth Realm" aura but filled with greed and cruelty, surrounded the East Sea Dragon Emperor in a triangular formation!

Leading the group was a gaunt Taoist priest clad in black quicksand armor. He wielded a jet-black staff forged from star debris, and his aura clearly indicated he was at the mid-stage of the Fourth Realm!
The two demons beside him, each with a different appearance, were both at the "early stage of the fourth realm"!

"Lord of the Black Sand Dao!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea's golden eyes spewed fire! In that brief exchange lasting only a stick of incense, he had already learned his opponent's name!

"Black Sand Star Pirates!"
They came from the passage built by Tian'e, and their origin was the inner universe of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord; they were people from the Underworld Lotus World.

They have established themselves here, becoming the overlords of this shattered star field! They wait here specifically to hunt down enemies who have been teleported here by the Nether Lotus.

These twenty "misguided individuals" are the ones in question!
"Imperial Dragon Might! Suppress!"

"kill!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea once again unleashed his imperial majesty!

However, the moment that golden pressure left the body, it was shattered by the great Dao of the present-day star sea!

"Hahaha!" The Black Sand Dao Master let out a piercing laugh! "'Lost Daoist'! Don't waste your energy! Your false Dao is not even worth a speck of dust under the suppression of this Star Sea Dao!"

"Real? False?!" The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea's eyes widened in fury! "I have existed for countless eons! How dare you say I am false?! You're courting death!"

He abandoned the Great Dao that had been suppressed so tightly, and instead activated his dragon body, which was extremely powerful!
"Roar! Myriad Dragons Tear the Sky Claw!"

With a sudden sway of its ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon body, a golden dragon claw that seemed capable of tearing apart stars fiercely lashed out at the Black Sand Dao Master!
"Hmph! You've run out of tricks!" A hint of disdain flashed in the Black Sand Dao Master's eyes. "The physical body? What use is brute force before the true Dao?! Black Sand - Annihilation Divine Light!"

His staff suddenly stopped, and a black divine light condensed from the purest laws of annihilation in the present world shot out instantly! This divine light did not attack the physical body, but went straight for the false origin of the Great Dao of the East Sea Dragon Emperor!

"not good!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea's dragon soul throbbed wildly! He wanted to dodge, but his speed, which he was so proud of, was actually slower than expected under the suppression of the laws of this world!
"Pfft——!"

The black divine light slammed fiercely into his Achilles' heel!

"Ow—!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea let out a mournful cry of extreme pain! His indestructible reverse scale was actually corroded and pierced by this divine light! A destructive force targeting the "Spirit of Dreams" surged wildly into his Dao Fruit!

"It's over..." A trace of despair flashed in the enormous dragon eyes of the East Sea Dragon Emperor. He felt his Dao Fruit beginning to collapse under the erosion of this true law!

"Tianyi...you're right...we really were just...a dream..."

"Su Zun...where are you...?"

The Black Sand Dao Master revealed a cruel smile: "It's over, you giant worm! Prepare to die!"

He raised his staff again!

However, at this critical moment.

A flat, emotionless voice suddenly rang out in the center of the battlefield.

"Who gave permission?"

"You... touched... my people?" (End of Chapter)
