Living in the deep palace

Within the desolate realm, deathly silence remained.

The fifth-realm envoy "Jing" from the "Heavenly Domain," along with his pride in the "Temple of Order," has been completely erased by Su Chen's [Waste] Dao, as if he had never existed.

"The Heavenly Court of Myriad Realms..."

Su Chen stood in the void, his expression calm.

He pondered the name.

He knew that his killing of the "Celestial Envoy" would inevitably attract the attention of this behemoth.

A storm far exceeding that of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord is brewing in the distant heavens.

but……

"so what?"

There was no fear in Su Chen's eyes, only a cold calm.

"If the Heavenly Court comes, I will destroy it."

"Besides, I am currently in the Ruins Domain, while the Heavenly Court of the Celestial Domain is far away. How could they possibly kill me?"

His path, Su Chen's, is one of neither kneeling to Heaven nor to Earth. Whether it be heavenly calamity or the Heavenly Court, those who obstruct his path shall be punished.

But that is the enemy of the "future".

Su Chen slowly lowered his head and looked at the increasingly hot, jet-black lotus petal in his palm.

"The appetizer is over."

"Lord of the Underworld Lotus... Now, it's your turn!"

"After killing you, the Azure Sky Star Sea will be completely safe, and Wuxin, Ancient Insect Immortal, and Golden Light Immortal can finally rest in peace..."

boom--!
Su Chen's murderous intent reached its peak at this moment.

Without further delay, his figure transformed into a streak of azure-gold light that tore through the darkness of the Void Domain, following the strongest guidance of the lotus petals, and rushed towards the deepest part of this cosmic graveyard!

He must first eliminate this nemesis who has been entangled with him for a hundred years before the "Heavenly Court" can make a real reaction!
To eliminate the last and greatest threat to the vast starry sky!

……

……

The Ruins Realm has no concept of time and space, or rather, time and space here are fragmented and chaotic.

However, under Su Chen's "quasi-fifth realm" power, all the chaos was forcibly quelled.

With each step he takes, billions of "cosmic debris" recede beneath his feet.

His divine sense, at the "Great Perfection" level, had already locked onto the area ahead.

I don't know how long we traveled.

at last.

Su Chen's figure suddenly stopped.

He stopped.

In the endless void before him, there was no longer a floating "cosmic debris".

But...

A lotus flower.

A black lotus flower, so enormous it defies description, seemingly constructed from the "corpses" and "decay" of billions of universes!
This lotus flower blooms quietly in the very center of the Void Realm. It is rooted in nothingness, and each lotus leaf is larger than a "star field".

A dark purple aura of decay emanated continuously from the lotus, transforming into a viscous "black sea" that assimilated and polluted all the surrounding "ruins."

This is the "dojo" of the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus!
It is the true form of the "Nether Lotus Territory" that once shrouded the starry sky for countless years!
"found it."

"The coordinates are here."

Su Chen's "Chaotic Dao Eye" was icy cold as he took a step forward.

Om-!
The moment Su Chen stepped into this "corrupted territory"!

His Dao power, which was at the "quasi-fifth realm," and the aura of "negation" and "end" belonging to [Wu], spread out with a roar!
It felt like a hot knife cutting into putrid oil!
Chi Chi Chi -!
The viscous, "rotten" black mist, powerful enough to corrupt the Dao Fruit of the Fourth Realm, seemed to encounter its natural enemy the moment it came into contact with Su Chen's Dao Power!

They were not "purified".

Instead, it was… “negated”!

Wherever Su Chen passed, the dark purple "decay" collapsed, dissipated, and returned to "nothingness"!
He was like a walking "absolute nothingness," forcibly "erasing" this "decaying" territory!
"Who?!"

"How dare you!"

"This fellow Daoist of the Fifth Realm, don't you know that this is my Nether Lotus's Daoist temple?"

A cold voice slowly rang out.

This is the Lotus of the Underworld waking up.

but.

The next instant, when Minglian's consciousness clearly saw who it was,

"No...this aura...is it you?!"

"You've reached the fifth realm?"

"wrong."

"You're not at the fifth realm; this aura only qualifies you as a quasi-fifth realm cultivator. But why are you..."

A vast, decaying, yet shocking and incredible will suddenly awakened from the center of that pitch-black lotus!

Rumble——!
The "Black Sea" made of "decay" suddenly collapsed!

At the core of that lotus, a massive black shadow, whose exact features were obscured and which seemed to be formed from the "end" and "resentment" of all worlds, slowly rose up!

Its aura is vast and boundless; it truly is the "Fifth Realm"! It is "Eternity"!
Although Su Chen considered this aura to be mixed and decaying, a "last-ditch" level in the Fifth Realm, it was still "eternal"!
"You bastard, Su Chen!!"

The dark figure let out a roar that shook the entire realm!
"You...you have some nerve?! You actually dare to come to the Ruins Domain?!"

"You dare to appear before me without even achieving the fifth realm?"

"Are you crazy, or am I crazy?!"

The Holy Lord of the Underworld was utterly shocked!
It could sense that the ant that needed the remnant will of "Chen Sheng" to survive a hundred years ago was now... exuding a terrifying aura that even it found unsettling!
"The Great Perfection of the Fourth Realm? No... that's not right!"

The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus suddenly noticed the "concept" that transcended everything in Su Chen's Dao power!
That aura... just now erased the "Jing" aura!

"【Wu】?!!"

The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus let out a scream even more shrill than that of the Void Beast!
"You actually mastered the [Waste] realm?!"

"No wonder..."

"This is an extremely powerful forbidden path even in the fifth realm, and very few people throughout history have been able to cultivate it successfully."

"Back then, Chen Sheng relied on it to dominate the Fifth Realm and make a great name for himself!"

"No wonder you dared to appear in front of me."

"However, to think you can overcome the insurmountable barrier between the fourth realm, the Great Luo, and the fifth realm, the Eternal Realm, based solely on this is a bit too presumptuous..."

Subsequently.

It suddenly looked in the direction Su Chen had come from, and the coldness and mockery on its face froze.

Because, in his perception, the aura of "order" belonging to "Jing" had completely disappeared.

"You...you killed 'Jing'?! You killed the envoy from the Heavenly Realm?!"

For the first time, the voice of the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus contained...fear!
It has occupied the Ruins Domain for countless epochs, and it knows all too well how terrifying the "Heavenly Domain" is!

Although the overall strength of the Ruins Domain is not much inferior to that of the Heavenly Domain, it is a disorganized mess with each faction acting independently.

They are nowhere near as united and organized as the Heavenly Realm.

It can be said.

The most powerful behemoth is still the Heavenly Court of Myriad Realms in the Celestial Domain!

"Jing" is the "jailer" that the Heavenly Realm has placed here to monitor this "fallen one"!
Now, the jailer... is dead!
The ants, which it considered "food," possessed a "forbidden" power and stormed its lair! "It seems you know quite a bit."

Su Chen stood on the "rotten" black sea, his body three feet away, the "[Wasteland]" domain unfolded, impervious to all laws.

His icy gaze pierced through the endless decay and landed on the dark figure.

"The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus".

"From the starry sea of ​​dreams to the starry sea of ​​the celestial sphere."

"From silence to heartlessness and golden light."

"Today, I have come here."

Su Chen slowly raised his hand, aiming it at his nemesis in the fifth realm.

"It's all for... to settle everything!"

"Liquidation?!"

Under Su Chen's icy killing intent, the fear of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord instantly transformed into boundless rage of the Fifth Realm!
"Hahahaha!"

"Su Chen, Su Chen! You ignorant ant! Do you think that just because you killed 'Jing,' that artificial 'Puppet of Order,' you're qualified to challenge the true 'Fifth Realm Eternity'?!"

"I am 'Nether Lotus'! I am the embodiment of 'Rotten'! I am the victor who devoured the 'Chen Sheng' universe!"

"In this desolate realm! I am immortal!"

boom--!
The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus unleashed its full power at the fifth level!

"Fifth Realm Dao Technique - Eternal Decay - Nether Lotus Black Prison!"

Crash-!
The "Black Sea" formed by billions of cosmic debris boiled over at that moment!

The endless laws of "decay" transformed into countless black chains, wrapping around Su Chen from all directions, from the past, present, and future!

This is the ultimate move of the Fifth Realm!

It is not Su Chen's physical body that is to be "corrupted," but his "Dao Fruit," his "Jianmu Tree," and his "eternal" foundation!
"Die, Su Chen! Your [Wu] may be strong, but you are still only a 'quasi-fifth realm'!"

"And I! Am the true 'eternity'!"

The Holy Lord of the Underworld roared madly.

Faced with this terrifying blow that could "corrupt" a vast world.

Su Chen simply shook his head calmly.

"eternal?"

"Your 'eternity,' in my view, is merely the largest piece of 'rotten flesh' in this cosmic graveyard."

"And my **[芜]**..."

The dark mark on Su Chen's forehead, representing "end" and "denial," suddenly lit up!
"It was born to 'clean up' all rotten flesh!"

"Building a Wooden Axis: The Ten Fundamental Elements Unite!"

"[Waste] - Annihilation!"

Su Chen pointed out with one finger!
There were no earth-shattering beams of light, no clashes of laws.

Only... the coverage of the "concept"!

Om-!
An invisible force of "negation" erupted from Su Chen!
Those countless "rotten" chains of law, the moment they came into contact with the [Wasteland] domain!
Inch by inch...dissipating!
The concept of "decay" is so vulnerable in the face of the "negation" of "waste"!
"No! This is impossible!"

The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus let out a horrified scream! "My 'Rotten' Dao! The origin of my Fifth Realm! Why..."

"because."

Su Chen's figure had already passed through the collapsing "Black Prison" and appeared in front of the Nether Lotus Saint Lord's true form in an instant!

"Your 'decay' is the 'end' of 'existence'."

"And my [Wu] is to 'deny' your 'existence'!"

Su Chen's hand, which was wrapped with the power of the "Ten Great Origins" and the "Jianmu", pressed down hard on the fifth-realm Dao body of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord!
"Nether Lotus!"

"today!"

"You shall... perish!"

boom--!
【Wu】, this unprecedented "forbidden" power, has completely erupted in this graveyard of the universe!
……

boom--!
The instant Su Chen's hand, wreathed in the dark light of [Wu], touched the fifth realm "Eternal" Dao body of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord.

There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected, no violent collision without any rules.

Only… “negation”!
"No...no! What is this?!"

The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus let out the most terrified scream of his life!
He felt no pain, no impact. He only felt that the "foundation" that constituted his "existence," his "decaying path" of the "fifth realm," was being overtaken by an irresistible supreme concept...

Forced "erasure"!
Chi Chi Chi -!
Su Chen's hand was like a black hole that devoured everything.

That "corrupted" Dao power, before [Wu], was like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun? No! It was like "lies" meeting "truth"!
It is collapsing! It is dissipating! It is returning to nothingness!
"Roar—! I am Eternity! I am the Fifth Realm!"
"And you are only at the fourth realm, a Great Luo Immortal. Even if you are a Taiyi seed, your potential to reach the fifth realm in the future should not be this low!"

"impossible!"

"This is impossible!"

"This is insane! This world has truly gone mad! I, a fifth-realm Eternal Ancestor, am actually no match for you, a fourth-realm Star Sea Being..."

The Holy Lord of the Underworld roared madly, and his enormous black shadow, like the remnants of the universe, suddenly exploded, transforming into billions of "corrupted" origins, attempting to "pollute" Su Chen's Dao body and drag Su Chen into the abyss of "corruption"!

This was his desperate strike as a fifth-realm cultivator!
"eternal?"

Su Chen stood in the center of that "rotten" storm, his black hair flying wildly, impervious to all magic.

"In the face of desolation, there is no eternity."

Su Chen's "quasi-fifth realm" star sea power suddenly erupted!

On the central axis of that Jianmu tree, the nine fundamental laws of life, death, emptiness, and tomb resounded in unison, transforming into the most solid "dam" that firmly blocked the "decaying" pollution from entering the realm of "barrenness"!

And [Wu] is the ultimate sword that carries out the "liquidation"!
"Su Chen! Stop!"

Seeing his "Fifth Realm" origin being rapidly "erased" by Su Chen's [Waste] Dao, the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord was utterly terrified!

His "eternal" Dao heart was overwhelmed by endless fear at this moment!

"You can't kill me! You killed the Heavenly Envoy 'Jing,' and the Heavenly Court will never let you go!"

You've gotten yourself into a really big mess!

“Keep me alive! I…I am willing to submit! I am willing to offer up my 'corrupted' origin! I know countless secrets of the Ruins and the Heavenly Realm!”

"I am willing to serve you! I will guide you on the path to the heavens!"

"correct!"

"The Corpse Lord!"

"You received the inheritance of Chen Sheng, so you should know why Hai Zun wanted to kill Chen Sheng. That's a secret about the Sixth Realm. Aren't you curious?"

Faced with the fifth realm's humble pleas for mercy and the temptation of profit, Su Chen's "Chaotic Dao Eye" remained completely unmoved.

"The Heavenly Court? I will deal with it myself."

"As for you..."

"I'm not interested in the sixth realm either."

Su Chen's gaze was icy, as if he could see through time and space, seeing the heartless and golden light who died unjustly under the "Nether Lotus Territory", the ancient insect immortal who perished in despair, and the starry sky shrouded in "decay" for countless years.

"You must die."

"For the billions of souls you devoured."

"For this destiny that spans a century."

"Today, I, Su Chen..."

"I'll settle accounts with you!" (End of Chapter)
