Living in the deep palace

Chapter 704 Disastrous Failure

"【芜】·归墟".

"kill!"

Su Chen suddenly clenched his five fingers together!
boom--

The law of "denying" everything, [Wu], transformed into an invisible giant hand of "concept" at this moment, and fiercely grasped the collapsing body of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord.

"Do not!!!"

"Let me go, please!"

"Su Chen!"

"There's no deep-seated hatred between us, is there?"

"It's not worth killing a fifth-realm expert like me just for the deaths of some third- or second-realm ants! I can give you as many of those ants as you want..."

The Holy Lord of the Underworld let out a final, mournful, and unwilling roar.

The next moment!
hum-

A Dao Fruit, entirely black and exuding an endless aura of decay, shaped like a lotus flower, suddenly burst forth from the collapsing shadow!
This is the eternal Dao Fruit of the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus!
It is the foundation of his fifth realm!

It's burning! It's tearing through space and time! It's trying to escape!
and.

His Dao Fruit also contains his Star Sea Universe and Inner World. As long as he finds a place to land in the Star Sea, he will be able to live a second life.

As long as a trace of his Dao Fruit remains, he has the possibility of living a second life in the fifth realm and returning to the fifth realm!
"Do you think you can escape?"

"Everything changes!"

"Now it's your turn to pay for everything."

Su Chen didn't even chase after him.

He simply raised his eyes slowly, revealing those chaotic Dao pupils and the profound black mark between his brows...

He coldly "stared" at the "Tao Fruit" that was trying to escape.

This gaze.

This is the decree of [Wu]!

"No...I...I..."

"Su Chen!"

"Don't even think about it!"

The decaying lotus-shaped Dao Fruit suddenly froze in the void. Its eternal spiritual light, under Su Chen's gaze…

went out.

It's as if, at a conceptual level, its significance... has been negated.

Click——.

A crack appeared on that indestructible fifth-realm Dao Fruit!
Immediately afterwards...

The second course...

The third way...

Finally, in the most terrified remnants of the Underworld Lotus Saint Lord's will...

boom!
That Eternal Dao Fruit did not explode, nor did it turn into energy!

Instead, it's like a drawing that's been erased...

Silently...

It vanished into nothingness!

……

quiet!
Deathly silence!

The Fifth Realm: Eternity!

The Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus was annihilated, both in body and soul!

Its existence was completely erased from this universe by Su Chen using the Dao of [Waste].

Even Xinghai failed to land!
Eternity is no longer eternal!

This is the terror of Wu being called the forbidden path, because he can stop the fall of the star sea and the escape of eternal remnants into the star sea.

Once the eternal remnant is truly allowed to escape into the sea of stars, and the sea of stars falls, a fifth-realm being will be unable to step into a sea of stars that can only tolerate the existence of a fourth-realm being.

"but."

"The sea of stars will eventually fall. My Dao of Desolation is not the true fifth realm; it can only delay the fall of the sea of stars."

"But this amount of time is enough."

"That's enough to completely wipe away your lingering regrets in this desolate realm. You, Minglian, have no chance of living a second life."

"Eternity? I'll make sure you can't have eternity!"

"I will annihilate you, body and soul!"

Su Chen murmured.

With the fall of the Nether Lotus, the "black lotus" dojo, which covered the center of the Ruins Domain and was constructed from billions of cosmic debris, began to collapse inch by inch.

The viscous, decaying black sea has also lost its source and is being assimilated again by the violent, desolate energy surrounding it.

"call."

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew his hand.

This time.

He was finally relieved.

The Nether Lotus has truly fallen!

He stood silently in this chaotic void and closed his eyes.

The archenemy that had plagued them for a century was finally brought to justice!

The last shadow that shrouded the starry sky has also vanished!

His cause and effect...

It's finally over!
……

……

The moment when the Holy Lord of the Underworld Lotus was completely "annihilated" by Su Chen using the Dao of [Waste].

In the center of that Black Sea, built of "decay," the "black lotus" dojo, which blotted out the sky, lost the support of the "eternal" Dao fruit and began its irreversible collapse.

Its massive "cosmic debris" structure is disintegrating, and its "rotten" power is rapidly dissipating, being swallowed and assimilated by the "chaos" and "ruin energy" of this ruined domain itself.

Su Chen stood quietly in the center of this "collapse".

He slowly opened his hand, and the jet-black lotus petal that served as the coordinate vanished without a trace the moment the Nether Lotus Saint Lord fell, turning into the purest void energy.

ended……

Su Chen murmured to himself.

He could feel that the last thread of cause and effect between himself and the starry sky had been completely severed with the fall of the Nether Lotus.

At this moment, his perfect Dao heart became more harmonious and clear than ever before.

He had no more attachments.

However, just as he was preparing to leave this place of trouble to explore the deeper mysteries of this ruined realm, or to search for clues about the Heavenly Realm—

hum--.

An indescribable terror suddenly descended.

Su Chen's Chaotic Dao Eyes suddenly contracted. His near-fifth-realm Dao Body instinctively tensed to its limit at this moment.

The central axis of the Jianmu tree was frantically issuing warnings.

This pressure...

Su Chen suddenly looked up.

He saw it.

Above the chaotic "sky" of this ruined realm, beyond the endless "space-time storm"...

One...

eye.

A golden eye, so enormous it defies description, seemingly even more vast than the Ruins themselves!

This eye showed no "emotion," no "anger," and no "killing intent."

Yes, there is only pure law and order.

It stood high above, piercing the boundaries between the "Ruins" and the "Heavenly Realm," and transcending the barriers between "Time and Space" and the "Great Dao"...

He stared at Su Chen.

"The Heavenly Court of Myriad Realms!"

"This is a gaze from the heavens!"

Su Chen understood instantly.

This is the gaze of the Heavenly Court of Myriad Realms.

The fall of Jing, the envoy of that realm, and the demise of that fifth realm finally attracted the attention of that behemoth... Attention!
Under the gaze of this giant golden eye, Su Chen felt that the space-time around him was being defined.

The chaotic laws of this desolate realm are being forcibly altered by a higher order.

“【芜】”

Without hesitation, Su Chen unleashed the power of a Great Luo Perfection cultivator. The dark [Waste] Law transformed into a domain, attempting to negate this alteration.

however.

hum--.

The giant golden eye blinked only slightly.

Su Chen's [Wasteland] Domain... was forcibly suppressed under the gaze of this order.

His denial could not negate this supreme law emanating from the heavens.

"This...this is..."

For the first time, Su Chen's heart sank.

"This is not the fifth realm..."

"This oppressive aura... this terrifying power that can make words law and define all realms..."

"It's... the sixth realm!"

Su Chen thought of what Jing had once mentioned, the ruler of that heavenly realm...

God!

This power far surpasses the fifth realm; it can only be the sixth realm. Only a being of the sixth realm could silence the Void Realm!

"Anomalies from the lower realm."

A vast, majestic, and emotionless will transformed into the laws of the Great Dao, resounding loudly within Su Chen's sea of consciousness.

"You have broken a taboo!"

"You have defiled [Wu]!"

"You have murdered an angel!"

"You are unforgivable!"

The gaze of that giant golden eye transformed into a tangible judgment.

Heavenly Law: Annihilation!

boom--

A golden divine spear, constructed from the purest divine runes of order, surpassing any law Su Chen had ever seen...

It disregarded "time and space," disregarded "distance," and disregarded the "chaos" of the ruins. The moment it "appeared," it was already...

It descended upon Su Chen's Dao Fruit.

This is an act of annihilation by the Heavenly Court!

This is a judgment from the Sixth Realm!

Su Chen, there's no way to avoid it!
At this moment, boundless madness and fighting spirit erupted from Su Chen's near-fifth-realm Dao Heart!
"You want to judge me!"

"You? You dare to challenge me!"

"Building a wooden core, ten principles united as one!"

"【Wu】·Zhi·Ji!"

In that life-or-death moment, Su Chen unleashed the strongest attack of his life.

He poured all the power of the Great Luo Perfection, all the star sea power of the Quasi-Fifth Realm, and all the "concepts" of the "Ten Great Origins" into [Wu].

He wants to... deny this day!
Deny this judgment!
boom--

That dark, barren expanse!
It crashed violently into the golden spear of order!

……

Within the ruins, there was no sound, no light.

Only the annihilation of "concepts"!

When Su Chen's [Wu], infused with the full power of a near-fifth-realm being and representing termination and negation, collided with the divine spear of order representing the supreme laws and judgment of the Heavenly Court—

boom--

An indescribable "space-time storm" suddenly erupted!
The recently collapsed "Nether Lotus Dojo" and the billions of "cosmic debris" instantly... turned into "nothingness" under the collision of these "concepts"!
click-

Su Chen's [Desolation] Domain, that all-consuming darkness, barely held up against the golden divine spear...

Breathe!
Then, it shattered with a crash.

puff--

Su Chen was struck dumb!
The order contained within that golden spear was of a higher rank than Su Chen could have imagined.

It is not energy!

It is the law! It is the divine order!
The Heavenly Emperor declared: You shall be destroyed!
【Desolation】can negate 【decay】, can negate 【order】, but Su Chen's 【desolation】...

But we cannot deny this day!
"No!"

Su Chen's eyes widened in fury. The golden divine spear was about to pierce his Dao Fruit!

at this moment.

hum-

Su Chen's true body, residing within his inner universe, and the Jianmu axis rooted on the Taiyi Dao Platform...

At this moment, I sensed the life-or-death crisis facing the Dao Ancestor.

It actually forcibly tore apart the Star Sea within Su Chen's body, destroying his true form...

It rose from the chaos.

boom--

A phantom of a blue divine tree, piercing through nothingness, rooted in chaos, and standing tall and firm, suddenly descended upon this desolate region!
It stood in front of Su Chen.

With its chaotic tree trunk, which had just sprouted its tenth branch, it forcefully... crashed into the golden divine spear!
"【Jianmu】!"

"Able to cultivate the Jianmu tree from the body of a mortal, through martial arts, immortality, true immortality, Xuanyu immortality, Taiyi immortality, and Daluo immortality..."

"It seems you are indeed his successor..."

"I really miss it."

"If you are allowed to continue to grow, you will become the second invincible him, after all, you already have some of his charm..."

For the first time, a flicker of emotion appeared in that giant golden eye.

Jianmu!

This is a forbidden divine object from the Chaos Era!
boom--

The golden spear pierced fiercely into the core of the Jianmu tree!

Click...click...

Su Chen's Chaos Dao Eyes instantly turned blood red.

He heard it.

He heard the mournful cry of the Jianmu tree!
That root, which accompanied him from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of the Great Luo realm, that root, the Jianmu axis that carried his ten fundamental origins...

Beneath that spear of order...

Inch by inch... it shattered.

The tenth branch, the dark black branch representing "Wu," was the first to be destroyed, turning into dust!

Followed by.

[Life], [Death], [Emptiness], [Grave]...

The ten fundamental branches of the Dao collapsed simultaneously.

"Do not--"

Su Chen let out a heart-wrenching roar.

Rumble!
His inner universe, that newly formed starry world, collapsed due to the collapse of the Jianmu axis...

at this moment……

The collapse began.

The Taiyi Dao Platform was covered with cracks.

The power of the golden spear, even after destroying the Jianmu tree, remained undiminished, still fiercely...

It pierced towards Su Chen's Dao Fruit, which was about to shatter.

"It's over..."

Su Chen's consciousness was weakened to an unprecedented degree the moment the Jianmu tree collapsed.

"The Sixth Realm..."

"Is this the might of the sixth realm?"

With just a glance and a decree, he, a quasi-fifth realm cultivator, was completely obliterated.

He refused.

He was unwilling to accept it.

He had just settled accounts with his nemesis, he hadn't even gone to see the Heavenly Realm yet, he hadn't even...

Just a moment before Su Chen's Dao Fruit was about to be annihilated.

Under the indifferent gaze of that giant golden eye.

hum-

Deep within Su Chen's true spirit.

A sigh echoed.

"God!"

Why be so aggressive!

at this moment.

Under the decree of the Heavenly Emperor.

The smoke and clouds of the Jianmu tree vanished, replaced by a tree that Su Chen recognized very well—the lush and verdant Longevity Tree nurtured by the Longevity Seed.

It slowly... trembled.

boom--.

A force, even more ancient than the golden giant eye.

It is even more desolate than the Ruins.

The primordial light of bronze, more primitive than chaos itself.

Suddenly, it surged forth from Su Chen's Longevity Tree.

Followed by.

clang--.

A sound, as if from a bell from eternity ago.

That golden spear of order...

That day, the Emperor's decree of annihilation...

At this moment, everything... froze.
