Living in the deep palace

boom!
Just then, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the blood pool.

A demonic cultivator who was originally only at the mid-stage of the Profound Immortal realm suddenly stood up.

His body swelled to three zhang tall, his skin turned light purple, his muscles bulged like rocks, and a broken "God of Power" mark appeared on his forehead.

"Roar!!"

He roared to the sky and threw a punch that directly shattered the spatial barrier above the blood pool!

"A Golden Immortal's physical body!" Lady Kugu exclaimed in surprise.

"very good."

Su Chen flicked his finger, and a bronze-colored "Seed of Immortality" shot into the demonic cultivator's brow.

"I hereby bestow upon you the name 'Giant Spirit Guard Number One' and command the Longevity Guard."

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for bestowing this name upon me!!" The demonic cultivator knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with fanaticism and loyalty.

As the first successful person appeared, a series of roars followed.

In the end, all 2,800 selected Xuanxian cultivators completed their transformation.

Although they did not reach the level of "Giant Spirit Guard No. 1", their physical strength had increased several times, enough to withstand the attacks of heavenly soldiers of the same level.

More importantly, they all have "immortal offspring" within them.

This means that as long as Su Chen does not die and the Longevity Tree does not perish, they can absorb the spiritual energy of the Longevity City and possess a near-immortal regenerative ability!
"This is my 'Immortal Legion'."

Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.

He was not only a devourer, but also a shrewd "farmer".

He sowed, fertilized, and then... harvested.

“Report—!”

Just then, a Changsheng Guard responsible for perimeter security rushed into the main hall.

"Reporting to the Dao Ancestor! Someone has arrived from the depths of the Void Domain!"

"Oh?" Su Chen's eyes flashed. "Is it the Heavenly Court?"

"No...it's not the Heavenly Court." The guard's face turned deathly pale, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. "It's...it's a mountain! A flying mountain of flesh!"

"It claims to be a special envoy of the 'Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor,' and demands... demands that Your Majesty kneel out to receive the imperial decree!"

"The Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Dry Bones collapsed to the ground, her teeth chattering.

"Oh no...it's that person!"

"One of the three ancient powerhouses deepest in this region! Legend has it that it has nine heads, each capable of devouring an entire world. It is a true near-peak fifth realm being, or even... a terrifying existence that has touched the threshold of the fifth realm!"

"Equivalent to a Great Immortal at their peak!"

"How...how did it get its eyes on us?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's lips curled into a playful smile.

"Peak of the Quasi-Fifth Realm?"

"It seems that the commotion in my 'World of Immortality' has been too great, making these old fogies restless."

"Kneel to receive the imperial decree?"

Su Chen straightened his purple-gold imperial robe, took a step, and instantly disappeared from the hall.

"Let's go see what kind of person this 'special envoy' really is."

……

……

The edge of the realm of immortality.

The once peaceful void was now shrouded in a nauseating, foul wind.

A colossal mountain of flesh, ten thousand feet tall, floated in the sky.

Upon closer inspection, it was not a mountain at all, but a gigantic toad that was extremely fat and covered with pustules and tumors!
This toad exuded a rich aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and carried a golden palace on its back. Inside the palace sat several demon cultivators dressed in magnificent robes, pointing and gesturing at the Longevity City below with disdain on their faces.

"This is the Immortal Realm that Su Chen established? It doesn't look very impressive."

"Hmph, an outsider who dares to rule the Void Domain just because he killed a few good-for-nothings with some evil magic? He simply doesn't respect my ancestor at all!"

The leader of the demon cultivators had a lion's head and wore golden armor. He was a direct descendant of the Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor and was known as the "Golden Lion Venerable." His cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"Where is Su Chen?!"

The Golden Lion Venerable stood up, his voice booming, causing the shield of the City of Immortality to vibrate.

"My ancestor has decreed! Considering your arduous cultivation, I hereby bestow upon you the status of 'Tenth Adopted Son'! Why don't you immediately dispel the great formation, offer your soul imprint, and return with me to pay respects to your adoptive father?!"

"The tenth adopted son?"

The void rippled, and Su Chen's figure appeared.

He stood alone, facing the enormous toad and numerous demon cultivators, his expression calm and serene.

"Your ancestor certainly had a good interest in collecting sons from all over the place."

Su Chen said calmly, "Unfortunately, I'm a tough guy. I'm not only bad luck for my father, but also for my master. Isn't your ancestor afraid that I'll...eat him?"

"presumptuous!!"

The Golden Lion Venerable flew into a rage, "You shameless wretch! You think you can provoke the Abyss Overlord by killing the Corpse Dragon Emperor? Let me tell you, my ancestor is a half-step Eternal! Killing you is as easy as killing a chicken!"

"and……"

The Golden Lion Venerable sneered and pointed to the sky.

"The Heavenly Court's punitive army is about to arrive. Without my ancestor's protection, do you think you can survive until tomorrow?"

"Kneeling down and acting like a dog is your only way to survive!"

Su Chen looked up at the sky.

indeed.

High in the sky, a thick layer of golden clouds was rapidly gathering, a sign that the boundary of the celestial realm was being forcibly torn apart.

The calm before the storm has been shattered.

but……

What are those who are at the quasi-fifth realm or half-step into eternity?
At his peak.

However, he killed a Heavenly Domain Inspector who was a fake Fifth Realm rank, and also killed a true Fifth Realm Eternal, the Nether Lotus Saint Lord.

If it weren't for the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor of the Sixth Realm, who nearly destroyed his soul and spirit, this clown wouldn't even be qualified to appear before him.

Not to mention that tiny half-step into eternity.

"I know the Heavenly Court is coming."

Su Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at the Golden Lion Venerable, the purple light in his eyes suddenly surging.

"But before that..."

"I think it would be better to have a 'snack' first."

You're making me really unhappy!

"And what are you, the so-called patriarch behind you! Die!"

"What?!" Venerable Golden Lion was stunned.

next moment.

Su Chen moved.

[Eternal Life: The Heavenly Emperor's Shrinking Earth Technique]!
With a single step, disregarding spatial distance, he appeared directly on the back of the ten-thousand-foot toad, standing before the Golden Lion Venerable!

"you……"

Just as the Golden Lion Venerable was about to unleash his magic weapon.

A large hand wrapped in purple-gold divine patterns had already gripped his throat like an iron clamp!
"Mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal? Lion's Head?"

Su Chen examined his prey as if it were fresh meat at a market.

"Although it's not as good as a real dragon, it should be quite good braised."

Click!

Su Chen used his five fingers to crush the Golden Lion Venerable's protective demonic light and throat bone!
"Roar--!!!"

The giant toad beneath their feet tried to resist, its pustules on its back spewing out venom.

"roll!"

Su Chen stomped his right foot hard!
【Eternal Life - The Giant Spirit Suppresses the World】!
Boom——! ! !
A terrifying force of millions of pounds erupted from the soles of his feet!

The giant toad, at the late Taiyi stage, didn't even have time to let out a scream before its massive body exploded in mid-air!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere!
The illusory image of the Longevity Tree behind Su Chen instantly materialized, its countless roots sweeping away fallen leaves like a whirlwind, engulfing all the flesh, demon cores, and even the primordial spirit of the Golden Lion Venerable!
Instant kill!

"Go back and tell that nine-headed worm in your family."

Su Chen coldly spoke to a hidden, spying divine sense in the void.

"Want to be my godfather? Let him wash his neck and wait." "Once I've dealt with Heaven, the next one... will be him!"

The probing divine sense was instantly frightened and withdrew.

however.

Just as Su Chen finished devouring this group of "special envoys"...

Click——!
The sky above our heads cracked open.

It wasn't a crack, it was... a collapse!
The vast sky shattered like a mirror, revealing the boundless golden world behind it—the Celestial Realm!
boom! boom! boom!
The dense sound of war drums, like thunder from the heavens, resounded throughout the entire ruins.

Countless golden warships, each tens of thousands of feet long, slowly emerged from the crack, blotting out the sky.

At the very front of the fleet, a golden-armored deity stood proudly atop the tide.

He was a hundred feet tall, wielding a giant golden sword, and surrounded by divine chains of order powerful enough to crush the void.

The First Commander of the Heavenly Court's Expeditionary Army - Divine Might Heavenly General!
Half-step into the Great Immortal Realm!
"Su Chen."

The voice of the divine general was devoid of emotion, carrying only judgment.

"The Emperor of Heaven has commanded."

"The Realm of Immortality... not even chickens or dogs are spared."

……

……

"Not even a chicken or a dog should be spared?"

Su Chen stood in the void, looking at the Heavenly Court fleet that blotted out the sky above him, as well as the tens of thousands of fully armed heavenly soldiers and generals.

That vast, oppressive force of order caused the laws of the entire Void Domain to tremble and retreat.

This is a regular army.

Completely different from the previous "vanguard" of the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Generals, this is an army truly designed to destroy the world!

Inside the City of Immortality, countless cultivators collapsed to the ground in despair.

"It's over... This is the Heavenly Court's 'World-Destroying' fleet!"

"Those golden-armored warships could shatter a continent with a single shot!"

"We're doomed..."

Although Lady Kugu was trembling with fear, the Longevity Seed within her was throbbing wildly, sustained by Su Chen's will.

"What's there to be afraid of?!"

Lady Bone shrieked, "As long as the Dao Ancestor is here, we will not die! Activate all the great formations! Even if we die, we will break a few of their teeth!"

Om-!
Three layers of shields rose up over Changsheng City.

The outermost layer is the "White Bone Sky Curtain" formed from the spine of the Corpse Dragon Emperor, the middle layer is the "Soul-Devouring Demon Light" transformed from the Ten Thousand Demon Cave Array, and the innermost layer is the "Bronze Barrier" supported by the seeds of the Longevity Tree.

"The struggle of an ant."

High in the sky, the Divine General coldly looked down at the light barrier.

He slowly raised the golden greatsword in his hand.

"First salvo—Demon-Slaying Divine Light!"

boom! boom! boom!
Hundreds of warships opened fire simultaneously!
Tens of thousands of thick golden beams of light converged into a destructive ocean, pouring down!

This strike is enough to completely sink the entire continental plate of the Longevity Realm!
"You want to destroy my ranch?"

A cold glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, actually charging towards that destructive sea of ​​light!

"Longevity - Fourth Branch - Law of Heaven and Earth!"

boom--!
Su Chen's body swelled up instantly!

Ten zhang... a hundred zhang... a thousand zhang... ten thousand zhang!
In the blink of an eye, a colossal giant, its body entirely purple-gold, entwined with bronze roots, and bearing the weight of the Milky Way, stood tall between heaven and earth!

He was like an ancient divine mountain, blocking the sky above the City of Immortality.

Faced with the overwhelming divine light that extinguished demons, Su Chen did not use any magic to defend himself.

He simply... opened his arms and embraced his heart!

They even opened their mouths wide!
"Come!!!"

"All of you...come in!!!"

Rumble——! ! !
The torrent of energy, powerful enough to destroy the world, slammed into Su Chen.

But the expected explosion did not occur.

Enormous bronze vortexes appeared on Su Chen's body. The moment those beams of light touched his skin, they were like water rushing into a bottomless pit, being frantically swallowed up!

【Eternal Life, Return of All Things to Their Origin】!
He's eating!
He's taking the full force of the Heavenly Fleet's main cannon barrage with his body!

"what?!"

For the first time, a look of shock appeared on the usually indifferent face of the Divine General.

"How is this possible?! That's pure energy of order destruction! Even a fifth-realm physique wouldn't dare to take it head-on! He... he's actually absorbing it?!"

"belch--"

The towering Su Chen let out a burp that shook the heavens and earth.

His purple-gold skin shimmered with golden light, an overflow of excess energy.

The Longevity Tree within his body was growing wildly, and the fifth branch was already in the works.

"It tastes good, but a little hot."

Su Chen grinned, a smile that, in the eyes of the Divine Might General, was even more ferocious than that of a demon.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

"Take this punch from me too!"

boom!
With a push of his right foot, Su Chen's enormous body became as agile as a monkey, instantly leaping into the air and charging directly into the Heavenly Court's fleet!

"Not good! Stop him!!" the Divine General roared.

But it's too late.

Su Chen's fist had already been thrown.

[Eternal Life - Heavenly Emperor's World-Shaking Fist] + [Giant Spirit Divine Power]!
This punch combined the order of the Heavenly Emperor with the power of the Giant Spirit!

Boom-! ! !
The flagship at the very front didn't even have time to fully activate its shields before Su Chen blasted it into countless fragments with a single punch!

Amidst the flames of the explosion, Su Chen moved with impunity.

He grabbed the two warships with both hands, swinging them wildly as if they were two giant fire sticks!

boom! boom! boom!
One after another, magnificent warships were smashed to pieces, and countless heavenly soldiers fell like dumplings being dropped into a pot, screaming in agony.

"Is this the Heavenly Army?"

"It's so crispy!"

Su Chen laughed wildly, his bronze roots flying everywhere, engulfing all the fallen heavenly soldiers and warship wreckage, and dragging them into his inner space.

Is this war?

No, this is a buffet!

"You wicked creature! Cease your rampage!!"

The divine general finally couldn't hold back any longer.

If he doesn't make a move soon, this entire fleet will be devoured by Su Chen alone!
"Please summon the Heavenly Emperor's Sword!"

The divine general raised his hands high and bowed respectfully.

hum-

The golden greatsword in his hand suddenly trembled, and a vast, supreme aura, seemingly representing the only truth of all the heavens and myriad worlds, awakened from the sword.

That was no ordinary weapon.

That was a sword once used by the Heavenly Emperor—although it was only the sword of his clone, it still contained traces of the true aura of the Sixth Realm!

Mid-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure - The Rebellious Sword!

"cut!"

The divine general unleashed a sword strike.

All colors in the world disappeared.

Only a thin golden line remained, stretching across the sky, as if cutting the entire Ruins Domain in two.

Su Chen's movements suddenly froze.

That golden thread was too fast, too sharp!

Even his indestructible purple-gold body felt a bone-chilling cold before this golden line. (End of Chapter)
