Living in the deep palace

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

The beast suddenly let out a series of rapid barks, its three ears twitched wildly, and its eyes revealed a bloodthirsty glint.

"Oh? The 'Listening Beast,' a collateral descendant of the Howling Celestial Dog, has reacted?"

A glint flashed in the eyes of the silver-armored celestial soldier. "It seems the intelligence was correct. That heaven-defying individual named 'Su Chen' has indeed left traces in this area."

"Team 9527, Scout 'Windwalker', requesting support... No, wait."

The silver-armored celestial soldier had just taken out a communication jade slip when he stopped.

He looked down at Black Iron City, a glint of greed in his eyes.

"Although Su Chen was severely injured by the Heavenly Emperor and his strength was reduced to a mere fraction, he was still a powerful figure who was close to the fifth realm. If we could devour his corpse or his secrets..."

"The reward above is 'divine status,' but if I were to obtain his Dao fruit myself..."

"According to the Di Beast, although that aura was strange, its strength was no more than that of a Golden Immortal."

"A critically injured and dying Golden Immortal... How could I, a dignified Heavenly Army soldier, not be able to subdue him?"

Once greed arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

The silver-armored celestial soldier put away the communication jade slip, shook his spear, and his wings flapped violently behind him.

boom!
He transformed into a silver meteor, carrying overwhelming heavenly might, and charged directly towards Black Iron City!
"Infernal ants! Hear my command!"

Before the person even arrived, the enormous sound had already exploded like thunder over Black Iron City!

"Heavenly Court is investigating! All cultivators, kneel down and submit to your bonds immediately! Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"

This voice contains the laws of order of the Heavenly Court, and has a natural suppressive effect on cultivators in chaotic places like the Ruins Domain.

Pfft!Pfft!
Inside the city, countless cultivators with low cultivation levels felt a tremor in their souls and involuntarily knelt down.

"Heaven... Heavenly Court?!"

Lady Kugu, who was busy reorganizing the city's defenses, changed her expression drastically. She looked up at the silver figure in the sky, her eyes filled with despair.

"Heavenly soldiers have descended?! Could it be because of the City Lord?"

She was just about to activate the city's protective formation.

boom--!
The silver-armored heavenly soldiers have already arrived!
He completely ignored the so-called formation, pointed his spear, and a dazzling silver light pierced through the broken protective barrier, slamming hard into the city gate!

boom!
The seemingly indestructible iron gate shattered instantly, and dozens of guards turned to ashes before they could even scream!

"Where did this traitor come from, daring to run wild in Black Iron City!"

Lady Dry Bones gritted her teeth, forced to charge forward. She possessed the Seed of Immortality; if the city fell and Su Chen died, she wouldn't survive either!
"Ten Thousand Poisons Withering Bone Palm!"

She unleashed her strongest divine power, a giant green bone hand reaching out to grab the heavenly soldiers.

"Hmph, filthy worms from the Void Realm."

The silver-armored celestial soldier's eyes were full of contempt. He didn't even bother to use his spear and simply slapped the soldier across the face.

Snapped!
The bone hand, laced with deadly poison, was shattered by the golden light of order!

Lady Dry Bones screamed and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the ruins and spitting out blood.

"Vulnerable."

The silver-armored celestial soldiers hovered in mid-air, their gazes sweeping across the entire city like radar.

"Su Chen! Get out here!"

"I know you're here! If you don't come out, I'll slaughter this entire city!"

The Listening Beast in his hand roared wildly in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Is it over there?"

The silver-armored celestial soldier sneered, raised his spear, and aimed it at the city lord's mansion.

"If you want to be a coward, then die inside!"

"Heavenly Punishment - Meteor Fall!"

Rumble!
In the sky, a huge golden meteorite condensed and took shape, crashing down towards the city lord's mansion with earth-shattering power!
This strike was enough to level half of Black Iron City!

The monks in the city closed their eyes in despair.

Just as the meteorite was about to fall, at the critical moment...

hum-

A deep, bronze light suddenly shot into the sky from the depths of the city lord's mansion!

The light was not dazzling, but it was exceptionally resilient.

In mid-air, it transformed into a gigantic bronze hand that blotted out the sky, and with a single blow…

They caught that golden meteorite!
squeak - squeak -

A tooth-grinding grinding sound rang out.

The meteorite, powerful enough to destroy a city, couldn't get an inch into that giant hand!
"what?!"

The silver-armored celestial soldier's pupils contracted.

Immediately afterwards, an indifferent voice came from the bronze light.

"The dogs in Heaven certainly have a keen sense of smell."

Click!

The giant bronze hand suddenly clenched!
boom!
That golden meteorite, formed from the laws of order, was actually crushed...!

Golden light showered down from the sky, like dazzling fireworks.

Amidst the fireworks, Su Chen's figure slowly rose into the air.

He was still dressed in a blue robe, but now he was surrounded by faint starlight and purple aura, and a faint phantom of a towering bronze divine tree appeared behind him.

He looked at the arrogant, silver-armored celestial soldier, licked his lips, and revealed an undisguised glint in his eyes…

appetite.

"I was just feeling a bit hungry after my breakthrough..."

"So food is being delivered to your door?"

"food?"

The silver-armored celestial soldier "Feng Xing" was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning of the word, and his cold and arrogant face was instantly filled with extreme shame and anger.

He is a supreme celestial deity! A Golden Immortal at the pinnacle of his power, who governs order and patrols all realms!

In the eyes of a sinner from the lower realm, it actually became... food?
"Arrogant wretch! It seems the Heavenly Emperor hasn't taught you enough of a lesson!"

"Since you are not quite dead, then today, I will extract your soul and suppress it under the Refining God Tower for ten thousand years, so that you will neither live nor die!"

boom!
Feng Xing's spear trembled violently, and the silver-white divine runes of order on the spear tip frantically condensed, transforming into a point of dazzling, cold light that was too bright to look at directly.

"Heavenly Court Spear Technique - Breaking Boundaries with a Single Point!"

This was not merely a physical attack, but a fatal strike imbued with the law of "penetration." In the Heavenly Realm's battle record, he once used this very spear to pierce through the world barrier of a minor world!

"Go to hell!"

call out--!
The silver light tore through the void, rendering the defensive array of Black Iron City useless against this spear's edge. Even the space itself was ripped open by its sharpness, leaving a dark crack that would never heal.

This shot was aimed directly at Su Chen's brow and dantian!
Below, Lady Dry Bones and the others had already closed their eyes in terror. Was this the might of the Heavenly Soldiers? A Golden Immortal at the peak of perfection, yet even more terrifying than Tie Wuyai, the half-step Great Luo of the Void Domain—the Black Iron City Lord!
however.

Faced with this shot that pierced the world.

Instead of retreating, Su Chen advanced.

There wasn't even a flicker of emotion in his deep eyes; only the cruel curve of his lips grew wider and wider.

"The Law of Penetration?"

"Playing the game of order in front of me?"

Su Chen slowly raised his right hand.

His movements didn't seem fast, but they gave off a strange sense of "naturalness," as if the hand was meant to be there.

On his palm, the pale golden [Longevity Heavenly Emperor Bone] pattern was instantly activated!
hum-

A terrifying aura of supreme power and dominion over all laws flashed and disappeared from Su Chen's palm.

That's the aura of the Heavenly Emperor!
Although it was only a trace, for these celestial soldiers who relied on the Heavenly Court's order for cultivation, it was...

Bloodline suppression!
Clang! ! !
A sickening clang of metal clashing resounded through the sky.

Everyone opened their eyes in horror, and then witnessed a scene they would never forget.

That silver spear, powerful enough to pierce the world, was actually used by Su Chen…

He caught it with his bare hands!
Grab it three inches behind the tip of the spear!
No matter how the divine runes of order on the spear tip erupted or how it cut, Su Chen's palm was like eternal imperial gold, not even a layer of oil skin was broken!
"No...this is impossible!"

Feng Xing's pupils dilated violently, and his hand gripping the gun trembled. "My Boundary-Breaking Gun Technique... how could your physical body possibly contain 'Imperial Might'?!"

In Su Chen's hands, he felt that kind of absolute suppression that he only felt when he was in an audience with the Heavenly Emperor!
"Imperial Might?" Su Chen chuckled lightly, his grip on the gun barrel tightening suddenly.

"Because your Heavenly Emperor... is very generous."

"Break it...!"

Click!

There was a crisp sound.

That immortal weapon spear, forged from the Heavenly River Divine Iron and nurtured for thousands of years, was actually in Su Chen's hands...

It was snapped in two!
"puff--!"

When his natal immortal artifact was damaged, Feng Xing immediately spat out a mouthful of golden immortal blood, and his aura instantly weakened.

"Escape! We must escape! The intelligence was wrong! This isn't a Golden Immortal at all! This is...this is a monster!"

"Even the Heavenly Emperor himself couldn't completely cripple him!"

"His strength is probably at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"and."

"It won't be long before I recover to become a Great Luo Immortal, and a terrifyingly perfect one at that!"

With no more will to fight, Feng Xing suddenly flapped his silver wings, creating a spatial storm, and turned to disappear into the void.

"Want to go?"

Su Chen threw away the broken gun in his hand, stared at Feng Xing's back, and his eyes flashed with a purple light.

"Once you're on my plate, you think you can fly away?"

"Eternal Life - Void Imprisonment!"

boom!
The newly created miniature universe within Su Chen's body suddenly trembled, absorbing the spatial laws of the "Sky-Splitting Crystal Armor Rhinoceros" and the "Star Sea Core," and at this moment it revealed its fangs.

The void within a radius of a hundred miles instantly solidified like iron!

boom!
Windwalker, who had just rushed into the void interlayer, was bounced back as if he had crashed into an invisible wall, and fell awkwardly into the air.

"No! How could your spatial laws be stronger than mine?!"

Fengxing was in despair.

The next instant, a bronze-colored figure appeared above his head.

Su Chen looked down from his vantage point and took a step forward.

"Go down."

boom!
This kick was as heavy as Mount Tai and as fast as lightning, landing directly on Feng Xing's back!

Click!
Those proud silver wings were crushed and torn apart, sending silver feathers flying everywhere.

Windwalker crashed into the Black Iron City square like a meteor, creating a deep, bottomless crater!

The smoke cleared.

Su Chen slowly descended, stepping onto Feng Xing's shattered breastplate.

He lowered his head, looking at the once high and mighty heavenly soldier, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Now, you can talk about..."

"What flavor are you now?"

"Woof! Woof—"

In mid-air, the accompanying "Listening Beast" saw its master instantly suppressed and was so frightened that it tucked its tail between its legs and turned into a black light to flee out of the city.

It is a strange beast, and its sense of danger is more acute than that of a cultivator.

That man... he was terrifying! It was the aura of a natural enemy!

"Dog meat hot pot can't do without one ingredient."

Without turning his head, Su Chen casually reached out and grabbed at the void with his left hand.

hum!
A giant hand woven from bronze roots appeared out of thin air and grabbed the Listening Beast in its palm.

"Ouch——"

The beast let out a shrill scream, but under the suppression of the Longevity Tree, it couldn't use its strange tracking abilities at all. It was instantly knocked unconscious and then casually thrown into the miniature universe inside Su Chen's body, where it was suppressed under the stars.

After dealing with the smaller fry, Su Chen's gaze returned to Feng Xing at his feet.

At this moment, Feng Xing no longer possesses even a trace of the majesty of a heavenly soldier.

His bones were shattered, his immortal armor was torn apart, and golden immortal blood flowed all over the ground, turning the dark brown earth golden.

"You...you can't kill me..."

Coughing up blood, Feng Xing roared, his voice a mixture of bravado and fear, "I am a righteous god of the Heavenly Court! I possess a Soul Lamp in the Heavenly Realm! If you kill me, my superior… Lord 'Thunder Punishment General' will immediately find out! At that time…"

"What if, when the army is at the gates, I am annihilated, body and soul?"

Su Chen finished speaking for him.

He crouched down, reached out, and gently stroked Feng Xing's forehead.

There, there is a shimmering silver "Heavenly Soldier Mark," a source of power bestowed by the Heavenly Court, but also a shackle that controls them.

"such a pity."

Bronze-colored roots began to slowly emerge from Su Chen's fingers, like greedy venomous snakes, slithering across Feng Xing's skin.

"I'm the kind of person who's least afraid of threats."

"Moreover... I prefer to eat first, then talk business."

"Heaven general?"

"He's just a Grand Luo Golden Immortal."

"What's the big deal?"

"If it weren't for the Heavenly Emperor of your Sixth Mirror personally taking action, you trash wouldn't even be qualified to fight me; you could only look up to me!"

puff!

Several bronze roots suddenly pierced into Feng Xing's brow and dantian!
“Ahhhhhh——!!!”

Feng Xing let out a scream that was a hundred times more miserable than Tie Wuyai's before!
That was the ultimate pain of having one's soul torn apart and one's Dao fruit forcibly stripped away!
"No! That's my Dao Fruit! That's my Order! Give it back to me!!"

Su Chen ignored him, closed his eyes, and wore an expression of enjoyment.

Gudong!Gudong!
The devouring began.

Unlike the chaos of the Void Beasts, or the disorder of the Loose Cultivators.

The energy within the heavenly soldiers is the most standard "Ordered Immortal Essence," systematically purified by the Heavenly Court.

It is pure, efficient, and contains a unique "power of rules".

As this energy surged into Su Chen's body, the Longevity Tree trembled with joy once more.

The tree crown, which originally had only five leaves, has sprouted two new leaves.

A patch of silvery white, shaped like wings, exuding a sharp aura of the laws of wind—this was plundered from the wings and movements of the Wind Walker.

A piece of pure gold, square and upright, like a token, exuding an aura of majestic authority—this is the power of order from the Heavenly Court!

"Is this... what it feels like to eat a god?"

Su Chen felt that as this power of order was integrated, the Heavenly Emperor patterns on his bones became more solid, and even the miniature universe within his body became more stable and orderly.

If the inner universe before was a barren wasteland.

Now, with the addition of order, it begins to evolve into a "civilized" world.

After ten breaths.

The wind on the ground had completely vanished, leaving not even a bone behind.

There was only one token, neither gold nor jade, lying quietly in Su Chen's hand.

That was the "Heavenly Army Order".

Su Chen probed into it with his divine sense.

hum-

A flood of information rushed into my mind.

"Number 9527... Belongs to the Third Brigade of the 'Ruins Patrol Division'..."

"Mission: Search for the Heaven-Defying Su Chen. Bounty Level: Grade A."

"Current search area: from the Chaotic Star Sea to the Bone Continent."

"Leader: Thunder Punishment Heavenly General (Great Luo Golden Immortal, wielding the low-grade acquired spiritual treasure 'Thunder God's Chisel')." (End of Chapter)
