Living in the deep palace

"The Heavenly Court suffered such a great loss this time. Next time, it will probably be a true 'Heavenly King' level figure."

Su Chen knew very well that the Heavenly Court's foundation was unfathomable.

Although the Divine General is powerful, he is merely one of the many generals in the Heavenly Court. Above him are Heavenly Kings who rule over a star field, and even... Great Emperors.

The Heavenly Kings are all Great Luo Gods, and the most powerful among them, also known as Great Luo Immortals at their peak!
As for the Great Emperor!

He is a fifth-realm eternal powerhouse who conquers all directions.

"I don't have much time left."

Su Chen stood up and turned his gaze to the depths of the Void Domain.

There, several powerful auras, undisguised and rapidly converging, were gathering.

"Nine-headed lion... Mechanical demon... Void ghost..."

Su Chen's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Want to band together for warmth? Or want to strike first?"

"Unfortunately, you're too slow."

Su Chen stepped down from the throne and appeared outside the main hall.

"Where are the Giant Spirit Guards?!"

"Roar!!"

Outside the hall, two thousand eight hundred giant spirit guards, each three zhang tall and clad in heavy armor, roared in unison, kneeling on one knee, causing the earth to tremble.

"Where is Changsheng Wei?!"

"exist!!"

Tens of thousands of cultivators, tempered by blood and fire, lined up in the sky, exuding a murderous aura.

Su Chen looked at the power that was entirely his own and waved his hand.

"Transmit my decree."

"strike camp!"

"Since those old fogies deep inside want to hold a meeting..."

"Then let's take this City of Immortality and drive right to their doorstep!"

"I want to turn their conference table... into my dining table!"

Rumble——! ! !
With Su Chen's command.

The entire City of Immortality actually moved!
The dragon-like structure that encircled the city for thousands of miles seemed to come alive, letting out a resounding dragon roar, and actually lifted the massive steel city up from the ground!

Countless bronze roots emerged from the bottom of the city, like countless legs, striding through the void!
This is hardly a city.

This is clearly a war behemoth made of steel, bones, and a divine tree!
"Target—The Chaotic Ancient Abyss!"

"Full speed ahead!"

boom!
The City of Immortality transformed into a massive bronze streak of light, carrying an aura capable of crushing everything, and charged headlong into the deepest part of the Ruins!

It's a big gamble.

It was also a crazy hunt.

Su Chen will use the entire foundation of the Void Domain to build the ladder for his return to the peak!
……

Chaotic Ancient Abyss.

The Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor and other overlords had just sworn a blood oath and were still discussing how to set a trap and lure Su Chen into the game.

Sudden.

One of the ghostly figures in charge of reconnaissance screamed in terror.

"Here...he's here!!"

"What?!" the Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor roared in displeasure. "The Heavenly Court has sent people again?"

"No... not..."

The ghostly figure pointed to the distant horizon, its voice trembling uncontrollably.

"It's Changsheng City...that madman...he's bringing his city...crashing in!!!"

"What?!!"

The powerful rulers turned around in shock.

At the edge of their vision, a colossal city, blotting out the sky, was hurtling towards their lair like a world-destroying meteorite, accompanied by a cataclysmic storm…

It came crashing down hard!

"A madman!! How dare he?!"

At this moment, all schemes and tricks seem so pale and powerless in the face of absolute madness.

War has broken out in full force!
……

……

The Chaotic Ancient Abyss, this forbidden land that has stood deep within the Ruins Domain for countless eons, has met its end today.

The sky was no longer filled with the gloomy, desolate atmosphere, but instead stood a colossal steel city that blotted out the sky!

That city was so large that even the rift in the abyss could not fully contain it.

The dragon bone that coiled around the city for thousands of miles, like an ancient dragon that had come to life, let out a roar that shattered the void. Dragging the entire city, it crashed into the abyss's defensive array in a frenzied manner of mutual destruction!
"He's insane!! Does he want to run us over and kill us too?!"

At the bottom of the abyss, the towering metal body of the mechanical god-demon emitted a piercing grinding sound.

For the first time, a stream of data resembling "fear" appeared in his red electronic eyes.

"Stop it!! We can't let it fall!!"

The nine heads of the Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor roared simultaneously, creating a thunderous roar.

"Abyss - Eternal Demon Wall!"

Rumbling--

The rock walls on both sides of the abyss suddenly closed, and countless black runes shot into the sky, transforming into a black light curtain thousands of miles thick, attempting to support the falling Eternal City.

however.

"block?"

Standing atop the city wall, Su Chen looked down at the light screen below, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Eternal Life - The Fifth Branch - Divine Weapon Realm!"

"Give me... penetration!"

Clang——!!!
Behind Su Chen, the illusory image of the Longevity Tree materialized. The newly grown silver [Divine Weapon Branch] suddenly burst forth with a dazzling cold light.

At the bottom of the entire Eternal City, countless bronze roots instantly hardened and transformed into billions of sharp spears!
The city instantly transformed into a giant "hedgehog," or rather... a giant drill!

boom--! ! !
A deafening collision resounded.

The supposedly indestructible "Eternal Demon Wall" lasted only three breaths under the impact of the City of Immortality.

Click!

The light curtain shattered!

With terrifying kinetic energy of hundreds of millions of tons, Changsheng City crashed into the Chaotic Ancient Abyss with unstoppable force!

"Do not--!!!"

The mechanical demon below was the first to be hit. It roared, and countless divine golden chains surged from its body, trying to forcefully hold up the falling city.

"Mechanical God Realm: Skybreaker!"

His arms transformed into two colossal pillars reaching the sky, slamming down on the base of the City of Immortality.

sizzle-

Sparks flew everywhere; it was the intense friction between metals.

The mechanical demon's legs sank deep into the ground, and its entire metal skeleton emitted cracking sounds as it struggled to bear the weight.

"Blocked... blocked?"

The Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor, who was in the distance, had just breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, a figure in a green robe appeared above the mechanical god and demon like a ghost.

Su Chen placed one hand on the massive metal head of the mechanical demon, his eyes filled with greed.

"What a huge piece of iron..."

"My divine weapon branch is just missing a little bit of the main ingredient."

"You..." The mechanical god and demon were terrified and were about to retaliate.

"Eternal Life - Divine Weapon Disintegration!"

In Su Chen's palm, countless silver roots burst forth instantly, like mercury spilling onto the ground, frantically drilling into his body through the gaps in the mechanical god's armor!

"Aaaaaah—my core! My control center!!"

The mechanical demon was horrified to discover that its body was out of its control!

Those roots that had burrowed in weren't destroying his body, but rather... altering it! Assimilating it!
The originally indestructible divine metal softened into a liquid state under the power of the Longevity Tree, and then flowed into Su Chen's body along the roots!
"No... I am a god-demon of the mechanical race! My body is forged from eternal divine metal! How could you possibly..."

"Eternal Divine Metal?"

Su Chen grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"In my eyes, this is what you call... an appetizer before the meal."

Gulu.

As Su Chen devoured it, the mechanical god-demon's towering body, reaching tens of thousands of feet in height, began to melt and collapse at a visible speed.

Meanwhile, the divine weapon branch within Su Chen's body was growing wildly, becoming even sharper, and even developing layers of intricate mechanical patterns on its surface.

"Help...help me!!" the mechanical demon cried out to the Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor. "Useless!"

The Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor's face turned ashen, but he knew the principle of mutual dependence.

"Old Ghost! Make your move!!"

He roared at the void ghost beside him.

"Hehehe...Leave it to me!"

"This kid appears to have an incomparably powerful physical body, comparable to a demon god among the Great Luo Immortals, but his soul is bound to be vulnerable."

"With me here, killing him will be a piece of cake!"

The ghostly figure in the void let out a sinister laugh, and its body instantly vanished into thin air.

next moment.

Behind Su Chen, an invisible blade silently pierced towards the back of his head!
That was a fatal blow aimed at the soul—"Void Soul-Destroying Thorn"!
This is his signature skill.

Back then, in the battle against the Heavenly Realm, he used this move to kill countless potential Grand Immortals of the Heavenly Court.

The only pity is that he failed to reach the fifth realm of eternity, and thus failed to transform this move into an even more powerful divine ability.

……

……

"Die!!"

The voice of the ghostly figure in the void resounded directly in Su Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, filled with extreme resentment.

He is an invisible spirit, whose greatest skill is to ignore physical defenses and directly obliterate the soul.

He was confident that no matter how strong Su Chen's physical body was, his soul would be damaged by this attack!

however.

Just as the Soul-Destroying Thorn was about to touch Su Chen's soul...

hum-

Deep within Su Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, a Dao branch as black as ink suddenly swayed.

[The Third Branch of Immortality - The Soul-Capturing Branch]!
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Su Chen's voice rang out calmly, without even turning around.

Swish!
Suddenly, a dark slit appeared on the back of his head. It wasn't a wound, but a... vertical eye!
That's the "Soul-Stealing Demon Eye" evolved from the Soul-Stealing Branch!
"what?!"

The ghostly figure in the void was horrified to discover that the Soul-Destroying Thorn it had thrust out had vanished without a trace, swallowed whole by that eye!

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying suction force erupted from that eye, locking onto his body!
"No! You're a body cultivator! How can you possess such powerful soul-path abilities?!"

The ghostly figure in the void screamed, trying to escape into the void.

But it's too late.

"You've come, don't leave."

“Perfect timing, my Soul-Capturing Branch is missing a spirit.”

Su Chen reached out and grabbed a shadowy object in the void.

That is the core of the Void Ghost!
"Spare your life——"

puff!

Countless black roots instantly plunged into that mass of shadow.

In the blink of an eye, this assassin master, who struck fear into the hearts of countless powerful figures in the Void Domain, was absorbed into a black "soul bead," which Su Chen casually embedded into the Soul-Absorbing Branch.

"It tastes a bit astringent, but it's very nourishing for the spirit."

Su Chen shook his neck and felt his spiritual power surge again, even faintly touching the threshold of "Great Luo Immortal".

At this moment, the mechanical gods and demons beneath their feet had been completely devoured, leaving only a pile of scrap metal.

Of the three major powers, two have already perished!
The entire Chaotic Ancient Abyss fell silent instantly.

Only the Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor remained, standing alone in the distance. The expression on its nine heads changed from anger to terror, and finally to despair.

"Strange...monster..."

"You are not a cultivator at all...you are a Demon Emperor born from the Void Realm!!"

The Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor retreated step by step.

He was afraid.

The mechanical gods' defenses and the Void Ghost's sneak attacks were like a joke to Su Chen.

This man has no weaknesses!
"Magic Emperor?"

Su Chen dusted himself off and walked step by step toward the Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor.

With each step he took, his aura grew stronger.

The illusory image of the Longevity Tree behind him had now grown to a height of 100,000 feet, with five branches of different colors resembling five giant dragons, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws in the void.

“I prefer you to call me… ‘The Ancestor of Immortality’.”

"Nine-Headed Lion, you are the oldest overlord of this Void Domain. You must have many good things inside you, right?"

Su Chen licked his lips, his gaze falling on the Lion Ancestor's nine enormous heads.

"I've heard that your nine heads are each connected to one of nine shattered miniature worlds?"

"There must be a lot of hidden money in there, right?"

"you!!"

The Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor was enraged by Su Chen's blatantly greedy gaze.

"You want to eat me?! Dream on!!"

"I am an ancient and extraordinary being! A descendant of the Nine-Headed Lion Saint!!"

"Since you've forced me into this, then let's die together!!"

boom--! ! !
The Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor went completely mad.

His nine heads opened their mouths simultaneously, each spitting out a "boundary bead" of a different color.

Those were the nine broken small worlds he had refined!
"Nine Realms Collapse - Great Burial of the Void!!"

The Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor actually detonated these nine small worlds!
Rumbling--

A cataclysmic spatial storm instantly swept across the entire Chaotic Ancient Abyss.

Space shattered, and the laws collapsed.

This power has surpassed the limits of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and has even reached the true "Great Luo Strike"!
"perish together?"

Faced with this destructive storm, Su Chen not only didn't dodge, but instead burst into laughter.

"Good! Very good!"

"It saves me the trouble of picking them out one by one!"

Su Chen suddenly opened his arms, and the dark black mark between his eyebrows, the "Wu" mark, suddenly lit up!
"Eternal Life, Desolation, and the End of the Realm!"

hum-

A dark halo emanated from Su Chen.

The spacetime storm, powerful enough to destroy the abyss, actually... the moment it came into contact with this halo.

It's frozen!
All the explosions, all the energy, all the laws were forcibly put on pause.

Because 【芜】 means negative.

Su Chen said it wouldn't explode, so it wouldn't dare to explode!

"What?! This... what kind of law is this?!"

The Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor was completely dumbfounded as he stared at the explosion that had stopped in mid-air.

"This is... the rule that allows you to embark on your journey in peace."

Su Chen's figure passed through the still storm and arrived in front of the Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor.

He reached out and gently stroked the largest lion's head.

"In my next life, I hope to be reborn as a good ingredient."

puff!

Bronze roots erupt!

……

……

The Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor is dead.

He died peacefully, without even a chance to resist, before Su Chen swallowed him along with the nine exploding boundary beads.

With the fall of this last overlord, the Chaotic Ancient Abyss completely fell.

"belch--"

Su Chen sat cross-legged on the ruins and let out a burp.

I ate too much at this meal.

The divine metal of mechanical gods and demons, the soul power of void ghosts, the world origin of the nine-headed lion ancestor...

These three massive energies surged within Su Chen's body, propelling his cultivation level to skyrocket!
boom! boom! boom!
Late stage of Immortal Grandmaster... Peak stage of Immortal Grandmaster... Perfect stage of Immortal Grandmaster!
Just one thin layer of paper away from returning to the realm of the Great Immortal!

Once successful.

Then we can welcome back the Great Luo Immortal Dao Fruit!
By the time.

Even the fifth realm of eternity can be killed!
He's about to return, at his peak—no, even stronger than his peak. (End of Chapter)
