Living in the deep palace

"Boom boom boom boom boom ————————!!!!!"

The cosmic crystal wall that had imprisoned countless beings in the lower realm for billions of epochs and was said to be insurmountable even by a god-king, was blasted open by Su Chen's casual kick, creating a terrifying black hole with a diameter of millions of miles!
The instant the crystal wall shattered, a vast storm, completely different from the turbid air of the lower realm and the immortal air of the divine realm, poured in from the pitch-black hole!

That's the [Void Gale]!
It is an unparalleled calamity wind that exists outside the vast world and is powerful enough to blow even the divine body of a sixth-realm true god into cosmic dust!

"call----!!!"

The dark gray Void Gale, like thousands of world-destroying celestial blades, howled and swept across the ruins of the shattered divine realm. The remains of divine mountains and shattered tiles of immortal palaces that had been floating in the void were instantly erased from existence without even leaving a trace upon contact with this gale!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly back to the depths of Eternal Heaven!!!"

The Demon Lord of Chaos was so terrified that his demonic blood surged in reverse. He desperately brandished his spiked club, driving tens of thousands of demon soldiers to hide deep within the remains of the ancient god. Such power was simply beyond the ability of these demonic cultivators, who had not even reached the level of true gods, to contend with!
However, when faced with such a powerful and annihilating force, the Void Wind was devastating.

Su Chen, standing before the hole in the crystal wall, neither flinched nor dodged, and didn't even lift his eyelids.

"The wind that has blown through the hall for thousands of years is quite refreshing."

Su Chen spread his arms, letting the violent Void Wind lash against his skin, which was tinged with the color of the Origin of Nothingness.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

A dense clang of metal clashing against metal exploded on Su Chen's body, scattering dazzling sparks of law across the sky. The gale, powerful enough to obliterate gods, blew on Su Chen as if he were a mortal bathing in a gentle breeze. Not only did it not harm him in the slightest, but it also swept away the last trace of causal impurities belonging to the "Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm" from his body!

"Buzz————————!!!!!"

At the very moment that last thread of cause and effect was severed.

From within Su Chen's body, a vast and powerful Daoist voice emanated, so immense that it even brought this universe to a standstill!
The last barrier between the pinnacle of the sixth realm and that indescribable supreme realm finally... completely collapsed after Su Chen devoured the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm and underwent the baptism of the Void Gale!
[Seventh Realm - Supreme Dao Position]!!!
At this moment, Su Chen neither faced any tribulation of the heavens nor was any auspicious golden lotus descending from the sky. This was because the Heavenly Dao of this lower realm had already been devoured by him!
He is the only and absolute Dao in this world!
Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The gluttonous red light in his pupils was gone, as was the cycle of the sun and moon. They were now eyes of the Great Dao, profoundly deep, seemingly encompassing all birth and death, all cause and effect, throughout the myriad realms!
He took a soft breath.

Boom!!!

The spiritual energy, starlight, and even the remaining small and medium-sized worlds of the entire lower universe collapsed madly in his direction under this one breath!

He slowly exhaled.

"call--"

Those collapsed star ruins were revitalized by this breath, evolving into entirely new chaotic nebulae!
A single thought can give rise to all things; a single breath can extinguish a galaxy!

This is the seventh realm! The physical body is the Great Dao, and the will is the Heavenly Law!

"Click...click click..."

However, just as Su Chen was carefully comprehending this supreme power that transcends all ages, the void beneath his feet, and even the billions of miles around him, suddenly emitted a cracking sound as if it could not bear the weight.

Black cracks, like abysses, spread wildly across the entire lower universe from Su Chen's center, like a spider web!

This universe is about to collapse!

It wasn't attacked by external force, but simply... it couldn't take it anymore!

It was as if an ancient divine mountain had suddenly been stuffed into a thin porcelain bowl. Su Chen's Origin Divine Body, which had entered the seventh realm, had a mass and a thickness of laws that far exceeded the limits that this lower universe could contain!

If he continues to stay here, within half an hour, this lower realm that has nurtured countless lives will be forcibly compressed into an extreme point by the terrifying gravity emanating from him, and completely reduced to nothingness!

"A pond is still just a pond."

Su Chen lowered his head, looking at the shattered void of the universe like a spider web, a trace of boredom flashing in his eyes.

"This true dragon of mine has only stretched its muscles a little, and this broken water vat is about to explode."

He shook his head, no longer bothering to suppress his aura. He knew that he had completely devoured all the ingredients in this place, leaving not a single drop of broth. Staying here would only ruin the feng shui of this "kitchen."

Su Chen turned around and waved his sleeve.

"Buzz!"

A vast and boundless purple-gold divine light, purely condensed from the laws of the seventh realm, instantly enveloped the enormous remains of the ancient god [Eternal Heaven] behind them like a celestial curtain!

With the protection of this divine light of the Great Dao, the tens of thousands of demon soldiers who were trembling in the Taixu Gangfeng suddenly felt the pressure decrease and felt indescribably comfortable.

"I have already drunk all the water in this shallow well."

Su Chen stood at the very front of the Eternal Heaven, his hands behind his back, his deep, divine eyes piercing straight into the boundless void of stars outside the shattered cosmic crystal wall.

He stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. On his originally indifferent face, that gluttonous, fanatical grin that made all worlds tremble once again reappeared.

"Nine heads! Pull the cart!!!"

"Follow me out of this broken well! Let's venture into the endless void and see what rare and peerless elixirs remain in this world!!!"

"roar--------!!!!"

The nine-headed golden lion of chaos unleashed a deafening roar that shattered the heavens. Its nine heads exerted their combined force, pulling along the ancient god's remnant body that blotted out the sky, carrying the newly ascended First Digestive of All Ages, and crashing through the last vestige of the cosmic barrier!
"boom!!!"

The Eternal Heaven has officially departed from the mortal realm!

Breaking through boundaries and ascending to the Great Void!
……

……

"Splash splash ...

The moment the Eternal Heaven completely passed through the shattered cosmic crystal wall and entered the void, all the demon soldiers heard a vast sound like the surging of the ancient celestial river.

That was not real water, but the sound of the Dao, generated by the interweaving and collision of the [spacetime turbulence] and the [primordial chaos] in the void!
The vast emptiness is boundless and limitless, without distinction of up, down, left, or right, and without any thought of past or future.

This is the "seabed" of all universes, the "womb" that nurtures all worlds.

Standing atop the divine court of the Eternal Heaven, the Demon Lord of Chaos, the Skeleton Lord, and even the nine-headed mutated golden lion all stared wide-eyed, so shocked they forgot to breathe. At the edge of their vision, there were no familiar stars, nor vast nebulae.

Yes, there are bubbles of various sizes, each emitting different colors of light!
Some of these bubbles were a fiery crimson, others a chilling, eerie blue, and still others were shrouded in endless demonic and deathly energy. They floated silently in this boundless sea of ​​void, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, stretching as far as the eye could see!

"Lord...Lord..."

The skeleton's empty jaw trembled violently as he pointed to a "giant bubble" in the distance, radiating brilliant golden light and ten thousand times larger than the lower universe they had just left, his voice hoarse like a broken bellows.

"Those bubbles...could they be...the legendary...myriad realms?!"

"good."

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back at the very front of the Divine Court, his green robe remaining perfectly still amidst the chaotic currents of the void. His Great Dao Divine Eyes, having reached the seventh realm, were scanning the endless "world bubbles" with an extremely discerning and greedy gaze.

In the eyes of the world, they are vast worlds that have nurtured hundreds of millions of living beings and contain endless wonders and dangers.

But in Su Chen's eyes, this Taixu Star Sea was not the ultimate destination for cultivators at all!

"Hahaha... Hahahaha!!!"

Su Chen suddenly threw his head back and let out a burst of uncontrollable, maniacal laughter filled with extreme ecstasy!
The laughter echoed through the void, causing violent ripples of law to spread across the surface of several tiny world bubbles around it!

"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!!!"

Su Chen stretched out his right hand, pointing to the vast world that was like a sky full of stars. The gluttonous red light in his eyes ignited again, even more intensely than when he devoured the Heavenly Dao of the God Realm!
"Look!"

Su Chen pointed to a world bubble on the left, radiating towering flames, and clicked his tongue: "That world has such abundant fire elemental energy that you can smell the aroma of burning even from billions of miles away. If we break it open and extract the living beings inside along with the earth fire, it would definitely be an excellent 'stir-fried pork kidneys'!"

Then, he pointed to a world on the right shrouded in endless water vapor and ice.

"And that one! The laws of water are pure to the extreme! The siren creatures within must be plump and juicy, perfect for making a pot of 'chilled seafood soup' to cut through the richness!"

Su Chen's fingers tapped continuously in the void, as if reciting a familiar story.

"And that world filled with the energy of Geng metal, the sword cultivators there must have extraordinary bones, crunchy and delicious!"

"That vibrant world of wood is perfect for a vegetarian after-dinner snack!"

Su Chen grew increasingly excited as he spoke, his Adam's apple bobbing uncontrollably. He turned to look at the group of demon soldiers behind him who were completely dumbfounded, spread his arms, and let out a wild and arrogant declaration that shook the very heavens!

"I originally thought that after consuming the lower realm and the divine realm, there would be no more delicious food in the heavens that I could eat."

"Unexpectedly, such a grand banquet was being held within this void... a continuous feast!!!"

"These countless worlds, these billions upon billions of living beings and gods and demons, are all delicacies laid out on my dining table!!!"

Boom!!!

As Su Chen spoke arrogantly, the blood and qi of the seventh realm of the Great Dao Venerable within his body suddenly erupted, transforming into a terrifying [Gluttonous Demon God Shadow] hidden deep in the void, large enough to swallow a middle thousand world in one gulp!
Sensing this extreme malice that regards all worlds as food, the Heavenly Dao wills within the dozens of Great Thousand Worlds within tens of thousands of light-years around them all let out a mournful cry. The light on the surface of the world bubbles dimmed instantly, as if they were trembling and trying to hide themselves under the gaze of this number one diner of all ages!

"Our Lord is mighty!!! He devours the entire void!!! He consumes all realms!!!"

After a brief moment of shock, the tens of thousands of demonic soldiers in the Eternal Heaven descended into unprecedented fanaticism and madness! They brandished their weapons, their eyes glowing green. Following this peerless, ferocious god who devoured the universe, how could they possibly lack food?!
"go!"

Su Chen waved his hand, preparing to randomly choose a world that looked "pleasing" to him to start his attack.

Sudden.

"Buzz————————!!!"

Deep within the void before the Eternal Heaven, a terrifying, extremely muffled wave, like some ancient behemoth trudging through a swamp, slowly emanated.

Then, to the horror of the demons' eyes...

The chaotic mist ahead was forcefully parted by a pair of colossal hands, each millions of miles in size. A humanoid monster, its size beyond measure and hundreds of times larger than the ancient god's remnant body, slowly emerged from the shadows of the void!
The monster was covered in gray scales that looked like meteorites, and on its shoulder, it was dragging three or four extinct dead stars with an extremely thick chaotic chain!

Within his abyss-like maw, he was brutally chewing on half of a shattered minor world core! Lava and fragments of laws from the stars dripped down from the corners of his mouth!

【The Star-Shepherd Clan】!
This is an ancient void race that exists only in the depths of the void, feeding on abandoned stars and aging worlds! They have no intelligence, only the most primal instinct to devour. The physical strength of an adult Star Shepherd is comparable to that of a Great Dao Supreme who has just entered the seventh realm!

"Hulu..."

After chewing up half of the world in its mouth, the giant shepherd slowly turned its turbid and enormous eyes, finally locking onto the Eternal Heaven in front of it.

In his instinctive perception, this enormous, mangled body, exuding a rich aura of ancient gods, was practically a rare and exquisite piece of meat!
"roar------!!!"

The Star-Shepherd Giant let out a roar that shattered the Void Gale, threw down the Death Star it was dragging, opened its blood-red maw—enough to devour more than a dozen star systems—and drooled greedily as it lunged at the Eternal Heaven!

"My Lord! That's the Star-Shepherd Beast! It's treating us like food!!!" The Demon Lord of Chaos gripped his spiked club tightly in fear, his voice cracking.

To be treated as food?
Upon hearing this, Su Chen, who was standing at the very front of the Divine Court, showed no anger whatsoever.

Instead, he slowly, extremely slowly, cracked his lips into a smile that revealed an extremely eerie...ecstasy!
"Trying to eat me...?"

Su Chen stretched out his right hand and drew the bone knife from his waist. The gluttonous red light in his seventh-realm divine eyes almost set the void ablaze!

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!!!"

"I have just stepped into this Grand Void Restaurant, and before I can even order..."

"A 'appetizer' just popped right in front of me, practically growing legs and running over there!!!"

Su Chen stepped out of the Eternal Heaven, his tiny body facing the oncoming Star-Shepherd Giant, letting out a roar that made the entire Void tremble:

"Since you're in such a hurry to put it in the pot..."

"Today, I will first use you, this fat pig from the Great Void, to... appease my five stomachs!!!" (End of this chapter)
