Living in the deep palace

madman!

For the first time, a look of solemnity appeared in Su Chen's Chaotic Dao Eyes!

He cannot be entangled! Once entangled, he, Su Chen, will be a sinner for all eternity in this mortal world!
Jianmu · Da Luo Dao · [Benefit]! Da Luo Law · Edge of All Realms!

Clang——!
Su Chen's Jianmu core trembled violently! The all-encompassing power of the Dao was completely subdued at that moment! It transformed into a streak of azure sword light!

That is the supreme sharpness that is sublimated from the essence of [metal]!
"cut!"

Tsk-!
The azure sword light met the billions of pitch-black roots head-on! Wherever the sword light passed, the laws shattered! The Great Dao crumbled! Hundreds and thousands of pitch-black roots snapped in response!

But it's no use!
Those severed roots regenerated in the blink of an eye! And more! Stronger!
"Hahaha! Su Chen!" The Dark Lotus Saint Lord's maniacal laughter shook the starry sea!

"In my own domain of ruins, my decay is endless! But your Great Luo, your sharp edge, is finite!"

"How many times can you cut me?!"

boom!
More roots surged forth, overwhelming everything! They ignored Su Chen's sword light! They actually used decay to fight against its sharpness!

They would let Su Chen cut them off! They would even use their broken roots to pollute Su Chen's Jianmu tree!
Damn!

Su Chen's sword light faltered! He discovered that his [Sharpness] Law was actually entangled by the broken roots!
A highly refined, decaying poison from the Void Realm is corroding his Jianmu core along the connection of the laws!

This is the true terror of the Fifth Realm! They have transcended mere techniques! They are a clash of the Great Dao! A pollution of concepts!
"Su Chen! Surrender!" The will of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord issued the final ultimatum!

"Offer up your Jianmu tree! I will grant you eternal decay!"

At that moment, those countless roots converged! They transformed into a pitch-black cage that blotted out the sky! It was about to completely suppress Su Chen!

---
The cage is closing! Decay is upon us!
The Great Dao of the Starry Sea is lamenting! Under the full suppression of the true form of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord, the all-encompassing divine light of the Jianmu Axis has begun to dim!
"My lord!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea and the others were filled with rage! They wanted to rush forward! They wanted to self-destruct their Dao Seeds!
But they can't do it! In the conceptual battle of the Fifth Realm, they don't even qualify to be cannon fodder!

"Su Chen!" The vast will of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord was filled with the joy of victory! "It's over!"

The decaying roots finally touched the core of the tree!

Om-!
At the instant of contact! Instead of despair, a resolute look flashed in Su Chen's Chaotic Dao Eyes!
"Lord of the Underworld Lotus, do you really think you've won?"

"What?!" The will of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord suddenly contracted! An extreme unease surged into his heart!
"What you pride yourself on is decay, endless roots, the very essence of the Void Realm." Su Chen's voice became ethereal and icy at this moment. "But have you forgotten? I also possess decay!"

The Great Law of Luo - [Wu]!
"Fight decay with decay!"

boom--!
Su Chen made no defense! He made no dodge! He actually detonated his Great Luo Law!

He ignited the concept of "desolation"!

"Are you...you're insane?!"

The Holy Lord of the Underworld was horrified!

【Wu】 (withered) is one of the ten fundamental elements of Jianmu! It is part of Su Chen's Great Luo Dao Foundation! He actually dared to self-destruct his Dao Foundation?!

boom--!
The concept of 【芜】 exploded! That gray, withered Daoist aura transformed into an end-of-days tide that was purer and more domineering than decay!
If the decay of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord is pollution, a slow death, then Su Chen's "Waste" is withering! It is instantaneous decay! It is the erasure of concepts!

Chi Chi Chi -!
Those billions of pitch-black roots melted away like ice and snow before the gray tide of desolation!
That unstoppable origin of the Void Domain was forcibly withered away by a higher concept!
"No—!" The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus let out a shrill scream! "My roots! My origin!"

puff!
Su Chen also suddenly spat out a mouthful of blue blood! On the core of his Jianmu tree, the branch representing [Wu] dimmed!
Detonating a Great Luo Law! This is a strategy that injures the enemy a thousand, but also harms oneself eight hundred! It's a tactic where Great Luo Golden Immortals perish together!
"Crazy! You crazy!"

The Holy Lord of the Underworld was terrified! He feared that Su Chen would destroy all three elements: [Life], [Time], and [Space]! His true body would be severely injured!
It's now!

A glint of light flashed in Su Chen's Chaotic Dao Eyes! This was exactly the opening he wanted!

Jianmu · Da Luo Dao · [Void]! Da Luo Law · Myriad Realms Leap!

Om-!
Before the tide of desolation had subsided, in the instant when the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus lost his Dao heart, Su Chen's Jianmu axis suddenly swung up, taking the twenty Venerables into his Dao Body World!

Then, with a deafening roar, the void shattered! It jumped away!
He didn't fight a decisive battle! He fled!
---
"Do not--!"

By the time the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus recovered from the shock of the [Waste] Tide, Su Chen's aura had already disappeared into the Ancient Dao Starfield!
"Su Chen!!!"

The furious roar of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord shattered billions of stars!
"You can't escape! You've self-destructed the Law of Desolation, so why should I suffer this decay in vain?!"

"You have been struck by my Nether Lotus of Decay - True Seal!"

boom!
The Dark Lotus Saint Lord's jet-black lotus petals suddenly trembled! The smallest lotus petal fell off!
It transformed into a jet-black streak of light, ignoring the barriers of space, burning with the essence of the fifth realm, and chased after the direction Su Chen had fled!

"Even if I chase you to the ends of the earth! I will devour you! You perfect beacon of the path!"

……

Beyond billions of star systems.

In a deathly, chaotic void.

Om-!
Space shattered! Su Chen's blood-stained figure staggered out!
puff--!
The moment he appeared, he could no longer suppress his injuries! A mouthful of blood containing gray and black spurted out!

"My lord!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea and twenty other Venerables were released, and they were shocked as they helped Su Chen up! "You..."

"It's alright." Su Chen waved his hand, but his face was as pale as paper!

He slowly opened his palm.

On his palm, on his body that was that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, there was a small, jet-black lotus flower!

This lotus flower seemed to be alive! It was rooted in Su Chen's Great Luo Dao Foundation! It was continuously emitting pure Fifth Realm decaying power! Eroding his Jianmu core!

This is the Nether Lotus Saint Lord's Nether Lotus Decay True Seal! It is the curse of the Fifth Realm! It is the Great Dao!

The wound on the road!
Su Chen's self-destruction of the [Wasteland] Law severely damaged the roots of the Nether Lotus. However, he himself was also backfired by the source of the Fifth Realm, corrupting his Dao foundation!
"What do we do?!"

Tianyi Ancient Venerable was horrified! He could sense that this wound was incurable! Unless he detonated another Great Luo Law to counteract it! But that would be tantamount to drinking poison to quench his thirst!

"It doesn't matter."

Su Chen's Chaotic Dao Eyes remained calm. He gazed at the jet-black lotus.

"This is a wound. It is also bait."

"Bait?" Wan Jun Tianzun was taken aback.

“He sacrificed a lotus petal, transforming into an incarnation, and came after me,” Su Chen said calmly. “This mark is the guide.”

"What?!" The twenty Venerables were terrified! "An avatar of the Fifth Realm?! Isn't that a dead end?!"

"Do not."

Su Chen smiled. A cold smile appeared on his pale face.

"If he dares to chase me, I dare to kill him!"

"I can't kill his true form. Just a petal..." A boundless killing intent flashed in Su Chen's Chaotic Dao Eyes! "How can I refuse nourishment delivered to my doorstep?!"

"But...my lord, your injuries..."

"Injury?" Su Chen retorted. "Why do you think I would risk damaging my Dao foundation just to take his blow head-on?"

The twenty Venerables were stunned! Could it be...?

Su Chen slowly opened his other hand!

In his left hand lay a dull, cracked, and broken body, yet still retaining the dual essence of order and decay!

It was none other than the remains of that holy son!
At the very moment Su Chen self-destructed the Law of Desolation! In the instant the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord's will faltered! He stole the Saint Son's corpse!

"This is..."

The Heavenly Venerable of the Great Evolution suddenly unleashed a brilliant light in his eyes! "A perfect fusion of the mortal world and the Void Realm! This is a priceless treasure!"

“That’s right,” Su Chen said calmly.

"The wound I suffered was caused by the decay of the Void Realm (Nether Lotus). And the cure for this wound is the order of the present world (Holy Son)!"

The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus had planned everything meticulously! But he couldn't have predicted Su Chen's audacity! Daring to snatch food from the jaws of death right under his nose!
"Now," Su Chen said, sitting cross-legged. "Form an array! Protect me!"

"I will refine this perfect creation of his right before his very eyes! I will devour his supreme Dao foundation! I will erase his Dao injury of the fifth realm!"

"I'd like to see whether he can catch up faster or I can refine my skills faster!"

……

"As ordered!"

The Dragon Emperor of the East Sea, the Ancient Venerable of Heavenly One, the Great Evolution Heavenly Venerable... these twenty "Fourth Realm Venerables of the Jianmu Universe System" showed no horror or fear at this moment.

Their path has been entrusted to Su Chen.

Their master is the invincible "Great Golden Immortal"!
The embodiment of the "Fifth Realm"? It is also a stepping stone for our lord to ascend to the highest realm!
They followed Su Chen all the way and witnessed his strength and growth. Even if the opponent was a being of the fifth realm, they were not afraid in the slightest as long as the true body was not present.

especially.

Su Chen is now at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Immortal Realm, and his combat power is more than a hundred times greater than that of a perfect Taiyi Golden Immortal!
"boom--!"

The twenty Venerable Ones, enduring the injuries caused by the shock of the Great Dao being shaken by the pressure of the "Fifth Realm", roared in unison!
"Jianmu Tree - Twenty Phases - Guardian Dao Formation!"

"Om-!"

At this moment, the twenty "True Dao Seeds" shone with dazzling light!
They are no longer individuals, but have transformed into twenty nodes, centered on Su Chen and guided by the "Jianmu Daluo Dao"!
They merged into one with a roar!

A blue cocoon of light, covering an area of ​​hundreds of millions of miles, rose up in this deathly silent, chaotic void!

Above the cocoon of light, the roar of dragons, the cry of phoenixes, the sound of the heavens, the sound of the Dao... twenty completely different "True Daos" intertwine and shine!
These are the array patterns of this protective array!

"My lord! The Dao formation is complete!"

Tianyi Ancient Venerable stood atop the array's core, his aged body as straight as a spear!

Even if the 'Fifth Realm' were to personally arrive, we... would fight to the death!

"it is good."

Su Chen sat cross-legged in the center of the formation.

Without uttering a single wasted word, he instantly became engrossed in the task!
"Wow..."

He held the remains of the "holy son" in his palm.

This is the most perfect work of the "Lord of the Underworld Lotus"!
It is a fusion of order and decay of the "Fourth Realm Great Perfection"!
It is the culmination of the present world and the Great Dao of the Void Realm!
Even Su Chen's "【Waste】" law could not completely wither it.

On its body, the orderly divine light of the "Golden Eyes" and the decaying demonic energy of the "Netherworld Phoenix" are still entangled and still fighting!

"Trouble..."

Su Chen's brows furrowed slightly as he swept his "Great Luo Divine Sense" across the area.

The Dao wound on his left hand—"Nether Lotus, Decay, True Seal"—and the remains on his right hand—a fusion of order and decay.

It actually resonated with me?!
"Om-!"

The Dao wound (true seal) of the "Fifth Realm" began to wriggle excitedly the moment it sensed the remains of the "Holy Son"!

It... actually wanted to devour the "Holy Son"!
Devour the decaying essence within those remains to strengthen yourself!

"What a magnificent 'Lord of the Underworld Lotus'!"

"What a brilliant 'killing two birds with one stone' strategy!"

Su Chen instantly understood!

The "Lord of the Underworld Lotus"... deliberately left behind the remains of this "Holy Son"!

He had calculated that he would receive the "true seal"!
He had calculated that he would discover these remains!

He was even more certain that he couldn't handle it!
If Su Chen dares to touch these remains, the Dao Injury (True Seal) will go out of control!

Mainly anti-customer!

It devoured the power of the "Holy Son" and completely corrupted Su Chen's "Great Luo Dao Foundation"!
And so it became his new shell!
"What a vicious plot!"

"This is the true cunning of the 'Fifth Realm'!"

"pity……"

A cold sneer flashed in Su Chen's "Chaotic Dao Eye".

"You miscalculated something."

"I am a 'Great Golden Immortal'!"

"It's 'all-encompassing'!"

"It is the axis of 'all paths'!"

"You want to swallow it?"

"You want to grow bigger?"

"it is good!"

"I will grant your wish!"

"Jianmu Axis - Great Luo Dao Furnace!"

"boom--!"

Within Su Chen's body, the illusory image of the "Jianmu Divine Tree" suddenly reversed!

It transformed into an all-encompassing azure Dao furnace!

"Didn't you (Dao Shang) want to swallow it?"

"Isn't 'order' (the remains) going to rebel?"

"Everyone, come in!"

Su Chen made a crazy decision!

He actually took the initiative to release the suppression of the Dao injury!
Bring the "Rotten True Seal" of the "Fifth Realm" into the furnace!
at the same time!

He forcibly crushed the remains of the "Holy Son"!

Bring the "Order and Origin" of the "Fourth Realm" into the furnace!
He wants to use his own "Da Luo Dao Ji" (Jianmu) as a furnace!
Use the decay (Dao wounds) of the "Fifth Realm" as fire!

Using the order (remains) of the "Fourth Realm" as a hammer!

He wants to refine the Dao injury of the "Fifth Realm"!

"Crazy! Crazy!"

"This... is 'seeking death'!"

If the "Lord of the Underworld Lotus" knew about Su Chen's actions, he would definitely be shocked!
How could a "Great Luo Immortal" possibly cultivate the Dao injury of the "Fifth Realm"?!
That will only cause the oven to explode!
"boom--!"

Decay and Order!
Inside Su Chen's "Great Luo Dao Furnace", they collided with a deafening roar!

"puff!"

Su Chen's seven orifices instantly gushed blood!

The body of that "Great Luo Golden Immortal" was cracking inch by inch!
"My lord!"

Outside the Dao formation, the twenty Venerables were horrified!
"Hold on!"

Su Chen roared!

The Chaos Dao Eye was covered in blood vessels!
"Give it to me... to refine!"

"Jianmu · Daluo Dao · [Life]!"

"【hour】!"

"【null】!"

"【profit】!"

"..."

The nine remaining "Great Luo Laws" transformed into nine chains of laws at this moment!

They firmly locked up the Dao furnace that was about to explode!

"Refine! Refine! Refine!"

Su Chen risked everything!
Before the arrival of the incarnation of the "Fifth Realm"!

You can create miracles yourself!
however.

The end of chaos and nothingness.

That tiny, dark glimmer of light...

Those lotus petals, burning with the essence of the "Fifth Realm,"... pierced through time and space.

It's here! (End of Chapter)
