Living in the deep palace

"Buzz————————!!!!!"

A black and white Tai Chi diagram, encompassing the purest Yin and Yang energies at the beginning of the universe and flowing with the ultimate principles of the primordial universe, soared into the sky from the brow of the Supreme Dao Ancestor!

The Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a colossal entity that enveloped half of the Taiqing Immortal Realm. On the scroll, the Yin-Yang fish, head to tail, embraced and spun wildly, generating an unparalleled power of cutting and suppressing, capable of forcibly dividing all things and returning heaven and earth to chaos!

"Suppress us? Demon, you are too arrogant! Let us all turn into chaos under the Tai Chi diagram!!!"

The Primordial Immortal Venerable and the Tongtian Sword Master, who had been swatted away by Su Chen, also rushed out of the ruins. Ignoring their serious injuries, they poured all their remaining magical power into the Taiji Diagram.

In an instant, the Tai Chi Yin Yang diagram erupted with black and white divine light that pierced the void, like an inverted universe, carrying the power to crush all rules, crashing down on Su Chen's head! Such power even frightened the nine mutated golden lions in the Eternal Heaven to the point of collapsing to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

However, Su Chen stood directly beneath this Tai Chi diagram, which was powerful enough to suppress everything.

He showed not a trace of panic at being suppressed.

He slightly raised his extremely arrogant face, looking at the black and white Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram that was spinning wildly above his head.

Sudden.

The gluttonous red light in his eyes suddenly shone brightly, like a chef groping in the dark who suddenly discovered a peerless cooking utensil he had always dreamed of!

"This stark contrast between black and white...this separation between life and death..."

Su Chen's Adam's apple bobbed violently. He threw the Supreme Dao Ancestor he was holding aside and stretched his hands upwards with a sudden movement!
"Snapped!!!"

Under the incredulous, ghost-like gazes of the Three Elders of Taiqing!

Su Chen's two large hands, gleaming with the color of ethereal origin, actually grasped the two ends of the [Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram] that was frantically suppressing it without suffering any damage!

No matter how the Yin and Yang energies were cut, they could only leave warm sparks in Su Chen's palm!

"Old bull-nose!"

Su Chen gripped the Taiji Yin Yang Diagram tightly, lowered his head, looked at the Supreme Dao Ancestor who was paralyzed on the ground, and grinned with an extremely wild and unrestrained smile that made the entire Taixu Star Sea feel despair!
"I was just worried that although my cauldron is large, if I stew all of you old bones and those fairies with delicate skin in one pot, the flavors will inevitably mix and the taste will be ruined."

"I never expected you old codger to be so considerate, proactively offering me such a perfect... [partition]!!!"

A partition?!
The Supreme Dao Ancestor was stunned, as were Yuanshi and Tongtian.

This is a supreme, innate treasure representing the ultimate principles of Yin and Yang in the universe! How could it be reduced to a mere partition in the mouth of this madman?!

"The Law of Heaven and Earth—The Gluttonous Demon God!!!"

roar--------!!!!

With a roar, Su Chen's body instantly transformed into a purple-gold demon god tens of millions of feet tall! He gripped the enormous Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram with both hands, turned around sharply, and aimed at the million-foot-tall bronze cauldron below, which was already boiling and burning with the fire of origin!

"Get down here!!!"

Boom!!!

Su Chen exerted force with both arms and actually managed to forcefully insert the Tai Chi diagram, which encompasses the Yin and Yang of the universe, straight and firmly into the center of the bronze cauldron, just like inserting a wooden board!
"Buzz—!!!"

The Tai Chi symbol took root in the cauldron, and the Yin and Yang energies instantly split the giant cauldron in two! The left side is supremely Yin and soft, while the right side is supremely Yang and strong! They do not encroach on each other, yet they fit together perfectly!
Hahahaha!!!

Su Chen stood atop the giant cauldron, gazing at the million-foot-long cauldron perfectly divided by the Taiji diagram, and let out a satisfied laugh that shook the era.

"Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams? The ultimate principles of heaven and earth?"

Su Chen pointed at the large cauldron, laughing so hard that tears were almost streaming down his face. His voice was filled with extreme cruelty and appetite.

"In the eyes of the world, that is the elusive Tao!"

"But in my eyes! This is clearly the most exquisite... [Yuan Yang Hot Pot] in the world!!!"

"Half clear broth washes away the dust and bones, half spicy broth is used to cook the blood and flesh!"

"These exquisite kitchen utensils are a match made in heaven for you bunch of Taoist priests from the Taiqing Immortal Realm!!!"

Su Chen turned his head, his abyss-like demonic eyes fixed on the three elders of Taiqing below, who were completely terrified and trembling with fear.

"The soup base is ready, and the hot pot is boiling."

Su Chen stretched out his enormous demonic hand, like an eagle catching a chick, and grabbed the Supreme Dao Ancestor, the Primordial Immortal Venerable, and the Tongtian Sword Master in his palm at the same time.

"Old folks, do you prefer the sweet and savory flavor of clear broth, or the spicy and numbing flavor of red broth?!"

"Regardless of which one you prefer, today, the entire Taiqing Immortal Realm will be—cooked up in my pot!!!"

……

……

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

With three muffled splashes, the three supreme beings of the Great Dao, who had ruled the Taiqing Immortal Realm for countless epochs, were thrown into the million-foot-long bronze cauldron by Su Chen like three meatballs thrown into boiling water, without any resistance!
"Aaaaaaaahh ...

A scream so shrill it could freeze the entire Taixu Star Sea instantly erupted from the bottom of the boiling Yin-Yang hot pot!

"The red and white soups divided by this Tai Chi diagram are truly unique."

Su Chen transformed into a purple-gold gluttonous demon god tens of millions of feet tall, standing on the edge of the giant cauldron. He lowered his head, and in his eyes, which flowed with the color of the origin of nothingness, the ancient immortal blood churning inside the cauldron was reflected.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor was thrown into the Yin-purifying soup on the left. Having spent years refining elixirs, his very bones and marrow were permeated with the fragrance of innate divine medicine. Under the simmering of the Taiyi True Water and the Origin Fire, his seventh-realm Supreme Inaction Origin was instantly cleansed of all impurities, resulting in a refreshing and extremely rich [Taiqing Immortal Bone Soup]!
Meanwhile, the Tongtian Sword Master and the Primordial Immortal Venerable were mercilessly kicked into the Supreme Yang Red Soup on the right by Su Chen!
“The bones of the old sword cultivator are the sharpest and hardest, while the flesh of the Primordial One is too thick.”

A cruel, maniacal laugh curled at the corner of Su Chen's lips, and the illusory image of the [Longevity Tree] behind him roared forth. With a thought, two jet-black, withered branches, tens of thousands of miles thick, burst forth from the void, transforming into a pair of colossal, sky-covering [Primordial Wooden Chopsticks]!
"To eat such a hearty dish, how can we force out the sword energy and essence from their bones without thoroughly cooking it in this extremely yang and vigorous red broth and raging fire?!"

"Give me some hot pot!!!" Su Chen used his divine sense to control the pair of ancient wooden chopsticks, stirring them back and forth in the bubbling red soup on the right like a skilled diner!
The innate sword body of the Heavenly Sword Master, known as indestructible through countless calamities, emitted a teeth-grinding "crack" sound under the combined attack of the two wooden chopsticks and the boiling red soup. The ancient sword energy within him, powerful enough to sever eras, was forcibly extracted by the boiling water, transforming into the spiciest and most throat-sharpest ingredient in this red soup!
In the short span of half an incense stick's time!

The three seventh-realm Dao Supremes, along with the billions of immortals in the entire Taiqing Immortal Realm, were thoroughly cleaned and boiled away by Su Chen in this Yin-Yang hot pot, leaving not a trace of Dao Fruit residue!

"call--"

Su Chen picked up the partition that the Tai Chi diagram had transformed into and sucked the red and white soup in the cauldron into his mouth.

"Gudu! Gudu!"

As two completely different yet complementary sources of the Great Dao entered his body, the Origin Divine Power of the [Seventh Realm - Peak of the Great Dao Venerable Position] within Su Chen's body once again emitted a thunderous roar that shook the ages! The dark golden [Gluttony Divine Ring] behind his head became even more profound, and faintly, it even showed a terrifying rudimentary form that seemed poised to devour the entire Great Void Universe!
"Although the meat of this bull's nose from the Taiqing Immortal Realm is firm, its balanced yin and yang flavor made it quite enjoyable for me!"

Su Chen swallowed the last mouthful of immortal soup and casually tossed the Taiji Yin Yang diagram, which had lost its spirituality, into the turbulent flow of the void as if it were scrap metal.

He licked his dry lips and took out the [Tai Xu Wan Jie Xing Tu] from his pocket.

On the star map, the light of the ten most brilliant top realms, which once represented the [Ten Thousand Buddhas Sacred Ancient Realm] and the [Taiqing Immortal Realm], has now been completely extinguished, turning into two desolate darknesses.

"After only two main courses, my teeth have only just begun to sharpen!"

Su Chen's gaze was like a peerless steel knife, frantically scanning the remaining major coordinates on the star map.

"Eternal Heaven! Army, heed my command!"

Su Chen's bone knife cleaved through the void, its blade pointing directly at the ancient universe in the far west of the Great Void, where demonic energy surged!
"Next dish—[The Abyss of the Primordial Demon]!"

"I've heard that the primordial demons there are covered in bone spurs, their wings blotting out the sky! Go and tear their demonic wings off for me, then hang them on the divine stove and give me a [Primordial Demonic Wings Roast]!!!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Follow our Lord! Devour the Void!!"

In the following months, the entire Taixu Star Sea witnessed an unprecedented and devastating [Taotie Tour]!
The massive remains of the ancient god Changshengtian, pulled by the Star-Shepherding Giant, resembled an invincible chariot that swept across the ages, rampaging through the void!
Wherever Su Chen went, the heavens wailed and all paths collapsed!

Inside the Abyss of Beginning Demons, the arrogant seventh-realm Primordial Demon Ancestor had his demonic heart crushed by Su Chen with a single hand. His pair of innate demonic wings, stretching for billions of miles, were torn off alive and strung on the branches of the Longevity Tree, sizzling and dripping with oil, their fragrance spreading for millions of light-years!

In the [Celestial Demon Ancestral Realm], billions of pure-blooded demons were devoured by Su Chen's Gluttony Abyss. The ancestral dragon, which had lived for countless eons, was skinned and dismembered by Su Chen; its tendons were used as dental floss, and its meat was chopped up and made into lion's head meatballs, which were then thrown into a bronze cauldron and stewed into a pot of unparalleled meat soup!
[The Netherworld], [The Great Wilderness God Realm], [The Spirit Witch Origin Realm]...

One by one, the top worlds that were renowned throughout the Great Void and ruled for countless eras were like fragile candied hawthorns in the face of Su Chen's unreasonable extreme appetite. He picked them up one by one, chewed them to pieces, and crushed them!

He regarded the Dao Ancestors of the Heavens as the great elixir of medicine, and the boundary walls of the myriad worlds as crispy flatbread!

The entire Taixu Star Sea was almost entirely devoured by him, turning it into a desolate wasteland of despair!

……

At the very center of the Taixu Star Sea was originally a vast and boundless ocean of stars.

However, at this moment, the place is so empty that it feels suffocating.

The "Ten Top Realms" that once commanded the awe of all worlds on the star map have been completely erased from the void. Not even a drop of realm water or a single realm stone remained; they have all been reduced to scraps in the bronze cauldron of the Eternal Heaven.

"belch------"

A long and resounding burp, like the Big Bang, suddenly echoed from the purple-gold divine court that floated in the desolate void.

The burp transformed into a dark golden hurricane of law, instantly sweeping across millions of light-years, clearing away the meteorite belts and void turbulence along its path.

Su Chen leaned lazily against the throne, which was shaped like the spine of a god-king. He wore a brand-new cyan Daoist robe, and the raging red light in his eyes had completely subsided, transforming into a bottomless void.

He picked his teeth with a dragon tooth he had just broken off from the mouth of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Dragon, his brows revealing an unparalleled majesty and a faint languor after a hearty meal.

"These 'main dishes' from the ten realms, though varied in flavor, have at least filled my stomach to about seven-tenths full."

Su Chen casually flicked the dragon tooth into the void, his gaze passing over the railings of the Divine Court to the dense cluster of faint points of light ahead, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.

Those are the remaining Middle Thousand Worlds and Lesser Thousand Worlds in the Great Void.

After witnessing Su Chen devour the ten top worlds one by one, these remaining small and medium-sized worlds were plunged into an unprecedented state of extreme despair, to the point that even the will of Heaven was at a standstill!

escape?
Even the seventh-realm supreme being who controlled the void was chewed up by that monster like a chicken claw. Where could these little puddles who hadn't even reached the sixth realm possibly escape to?!

If their escape displeases this peerless fiend, and he casually chews them up like dried fruit or snacks after a meal, then they will truly be annihilated, body and soul!
"Lord..."

Below the steps of the Divine Court, Jin Buhuan, the Grand Master of Wanbao Pavilion, crawled forward on his knees, trembling all over. For the past few months, he had watched Su Chen mark one unattainable name after another on the star map, his Dao heart so terrified that he couldn't even muster a single thought of resistance. His only consolation now was that he had presented the star map early, managing to secure a lowly position as a "waiter" alongside this greatest diner of all time.

"Our Lord's divine might is unparalleled, sweeping across the vast void with no equal!"

Jin Buhuan buried her head deeply in the jade steps, her voice trembling with extreme excitement and fear.

"The countless minor world lords who remain in the Great Void are well aware of the supreme heavenly might of their Lord! They dare not disobey in the slightest, and have already gathered thirty million miles outside the Eternal Heaven, naked and barefoot, holding the [Heavenly Dao Origin Core] of their respective worlds, kneeling and begging the Lord to grant them an audience!!"

"Oh?"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, and slowly raised his ethereal divine eyes.

Sure enough, in the vast void beyond the Eternal Heaven.

An unparalleled spectacle, worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Great Void's destruction era, is slowly unfolding!

Trillions of world rulers, incarnations of the Heavenly Dao, and ancient star lords densely covered the entire void! They had no formation, no ceremonial guards, and all of them had concealed all divine light and magical treasures, kneeling on both knees in the cold and piercing void like the most humble ants!
In each of their hands, aloft was a jade plate radiating various colors of light. Within these plates lay the very essence of their world!
This is a sacrifice! This is an offering! This is offering the lifeblood of one's own world in exchange for a mere sliver of survival before this great demon king who has devoured the entire universe!
"We, the dust of the vast void, pay homage to the Supreme Origin God!!!"

"I offer up the very essence of the world, to be the soil beneath the feet of the God-Emperor for eternity, the pasture of the God-Eternal Heaven!!!"

"We humbly beseech the Divine Lord to ascend to the pinnacle of the Great Void! To receive the supreme title of [Origin Devouring Emperor]!!!"

The unified shouts of countless realm lords converged into an immense torrent of faith and subjugation, shaking the entire Void Star Sea to its very core! (End of Chapter)
