Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 24 Breaking Through to the Middle Stage of Golden Immortal, Those Who Compete for the Dao Never Cease

The Hunyuan Cover emitted an endless, thick, and mysterious aura, completely enveloping Su Shao Chen and Huo Yan inside.

The overwhelming killing power unleashed by the Gengjin Pearl transformed into streaks of golden light that slashed forward.

"Boom!"

A deafening crash resounded, shattering parts of the mountain range, and at the same time, the Crimson Fire Serpent was sent flying backward.

The Gengjin Pearl is a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, a spiritual treasure given to him by his master that possesses endless offensive power. Its sharpness is naturally incomparable to that of the Crimson Fire Serpent.

Su Shao Chen looked at the Crimson Fire Serpent with a gloomy gaze. If Su Shao Chen hadn't been prepared, he might have been injured by the Crimson Fire Serpent right after leaving the secret realm.

"Dare to launch a sneak attack? You're courting death!"

The Crimson Fire Serpent was covered in karmic burdens, its body stained with blood, its expression gloomy, and it exuded endless resentment.

"Who are you, fellow Daoist? That fire qilin is prey I have long coveted. I would be grateful if you could grant me this favor."

"This secret realm belongs to our clan. We request that you hand over what you obtained in the secret realm and also offer the two spiritual treasures you possess as compensation."

"Otherwise, our clan will not let you go, and you will likely face dire consequences!"

The Crimson Fire Serpent stared greedily at Su Shao Chen as he emerged from the secret realm, along with the two spiritual treasures that exuded extraordinary auras.

He had already discovered this place, but the formation was too powerful for him to break quietly, so he kept an eye on it.

When he arrived here a hundred years ago, he noticed ripples in the great formation and immediately decided to wait for the opportunity to strike.

To his surprise, the person who entered the secret realm was none other than the Fire Qilin he had been chasing all along.

He wants all the magical treasures, the opportunities in secret realms, and the Fire Qilin!

As for his clan, he was expelled from it when he was an Earth Immortal, so he doesn't have any clan now...

Su Shao Chen looked at the Crimson Fire Serpent as if it were a dead man, his expression indifferent, and the spiritual treasure was fully activated.

Before the Crimson Fire Serpent could finish speaking, the Golden Immortal's power was fully activated, and countless Geng Metal killing intents surged forth, instantly causing Geng Metal killing intents to appear within a radius of thousands of miles.

The Xuan Youmo was also refined by Su Shao Chen. The endless black ink seemed to transform into a black sky curtain, instantly enveloping the world.

Upon seeing this, the Crimson Fire Serpent's pupils constricted. To unleash several spiritual treasures at once, and such offensive ones at that, indicated its extraordinary origins and likely even more terrifying trump cards...

But seeing Su Shao Chen's terrifying attack, the Crimson Fire Serpent had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight back. It would kill if it could find an opportunity; what did it matter if this magical treasure took a risk? If it couldn't kill him, it would escape...

Both were Golden Immortals. Although the Crimson Fire Serpent was a high-level Golden Immortal, Su Shao Chen, a mid-level Golden Immortal, was not at all inferior to it and even kept the Crimson Fire Serpent in the lead.

As the two battled, Xuan Youmo seemed to permeate the void, with endless black ink enveloping all directions and blocking all escape routes for the Crimson Fire Serpent.

To ensure absolute safety, Su Shao Chen then used the Hidden Dragon Inkstone to continuously lock onto and compress the location of the Crimson Fire Serpent, giving it no chance to breathe.

The next moment, the Four Directions Wenchang Array started operating, the Xuanyou Ink formed a black sky curtain, the Qianlong Inkstone suppressed every inch of space, and the Gengjin Pearl swallowed and spat out overwhelming killing intent.

Su Shao Chen, holding the Hunyuan Shield, pressed down on the Crimson Fire Serpent. This time, Su Shao Chen took the battle extremely seriously, not giving the Crimson Fire Serpent any chance to escape.

The Crimson Fire Serpent, after all, was a being burdened with countless karmic burdens and had committed countless acts of killing. At first, it followed Su Shao Chen's rhythm in its fight, but then it calmed its mind and began to launch a fierce counterattack.

A red jade bottle appeared above his head, releasing countless flames that transformed into a sea of ​​fire, colliding with Su Shao Chen's Xuanhuang Hunyuan Shield. At the same time, he wielded a long halberd and fought fiercely against Su Shao Chen.

Despite its ruthless and experienced fighting skills, the Crimson Fire Serpent still suffered several wounds from the Geng Metal's devastating attacks in the face of Su Shao Chen's overwhelming assault!

The more he fought the Crimson Fire Serpent, the more it wanted to escape, but the Four Directions Literary Star Formation formed by the Profound Nether Ink and the Hidden Dragon Inkstone sealed off all four directions, seemingly omnipresent, constantly entangled with him, making it difficult for him to escape...

After several days of fierce fighting, the aura emanating from the Crimson Fire Serpent was no longer as formidable as it had been at the beginning, while Su Shao Chen grew stronger with each battle.

Seeing that there was little hope, the Crimson Fire Serpent began to fight desperately, its eyes turning bloodshot.

His aura seemed to have grown even stronger!

Seeing this, Su Shao Chen poured all his boundless magical power into the Hunyuan Cover. Since he had refined twenty-four restrictions, he had now refined twenty-six restrictions. It was also a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure, so its power was naturally even stronger.

The Hunyuan Cover seemed to be fully activated, and the endless, heavy Xuanhuang Qi descended like the heavens. The Gengjin Pearl's killing power also increased, forcing the Crimson Fire Serpent to retreat repeatedly.

Su Shao Chen seized the opportunity, and his Hunyuan Shield appeared directly above the Crimson Fire Serpent's head, knocking away the red treasure bottle on its head.

Without its protective magic weapon, the Crimson Fire Serpent, facing the murderous aura of Geng Metal, was naturally powerless to resist the Hunyuan Cover above its head.

Thus, it was directly enveloped by the Hunyuan Cover, and the power of the high-grade acquired spiritual treasure also burst forth with overwhelming suppressive force, suppressing the Crimson Fire Serpent in just a moment.

Seeing that it was being suppressed, the Crimson Fire Serpent disregarded everything else and hurriedly begged for mercy.

But Su Shao Chen didn't react at all. When the Crimson Fire Serpent attacked him, it had already committed suicide. Now that it had fallen into Su Shao Chen's hands, Su Shao Chen absolutely could not let it go!

After suppressing the Crimson Fire Serpent, the Hunyuan Cover gradually transformed into a miniature version and appeared in Su Shao Chen's hand.

Then Su Shao Chen activated the Hunyuan Cover, and the killing power of the high-grade acquired spiritual treasure was activated. The endless and heavy suppressive power destroyed the primordial spirit of the Crimson Fire Serpent, leaving only a small crimson snake.

Seeing that the Crimson Fire Serpent's soul was almost completely destroyed, Su Shao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was quite satisfied with his performance in this battle.

There was no arrogance or conceit whatsoever; instead, he devoted all his energy to dealing with the situation, regardless of who the other party was. Since there was cause and effect, he would use every means to resolve the cause and effect.

After slaying the Crimson Fire Serpent, Su Shao Chen began to examine his spoils: a halberd and a red jade bottle, both of which were low-grade spiritual treasures.

Of course, there's also the corpse of a high-level Golden Immortal Crimson Fire Serpent, which is the biggest spoils of war. Not only can it be used to refine weapons, but its flesh can also be eaten!

Seeing that the battle was over, Huo Yan hurriedly stepped forward. He couldn't get a word in edgewise during the fight between Golden Immortals, and he was almost seriously injured as soon as he entered the fighting area. He could only pray that his master could deal with the Crimson Fire Serpent.

"Master, are you alright?" Huo Yan rushed over.

"It's nothing. Let's leave here and head to Mount Tai," Su Shao Chen instructed.

"Yes!" Huo Yan also transformed into a Qilin, carrying Su Shao Chen as a streak of red light, heading towards Mount Tai at an extremely fast speed.

…………

Three years later, Su Shao Chen opened his eyes and looked at Mount Tai, which was not far away. He was in a good mood.

This battle provided Su Shao Chen with a lot of cultivation experience, and even his mid-stage Golden Immortal realm became very solid.

The Netherworld possesses a unique destiny, and it is destined to be connected with Su Shao Chen. Therefore, Su Shao Chen feels something when he sees Mount Tai.

Since Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation and the Netherworld was born, the remnants of the Wu tribe took over the Netherworld and established Youdu to be responsible for the reincarnation of the dead, despite the various measures taken by the Underworld over the years.

However, the primordial land was vast, and the number of witch clans in the underworld was limited, and their management of the underworld was also unsatisfactory, resulting in heavy pressure on the underworld and seriously affecting the reincarnation of the dead...

The concept of the underworld and the eighteen levels of hell appeared during the Qin and Han dynasties.

Although he didn't know who proposed the concept of the underworld and the eighteen levels of hell, or whose idea it was.

But when Su Shao Chen was traveling through the prehistoric world, he unknowingly arrived at Mount Tai. There was a kind of guidance in the dark, as if it was telling him that there was a destiny for him in the netherworld.

It was precisely for this reason that Su Shao Chen went to the Netherworld of Mount Tai; otherwise, even if Su Shao Chen knew that there was merit involved, he would not have come rashly.

Given his current level of cultivation, it would be impossible for him to obtain such merit; there might even be some ulterior motive involved.

But now, by some mysterious force, the task of performing good deeds has fallen upon him, and Su Shao Chen naturally wants to seize it. Moreover, this is not a small act of merit, but a merit that will benefit all living beings in the primordial world.

Since Heaven and Earth have bestowed this opportunity upon him, Su Shao Chen will forge ahead regardless of any contenders for the Dao!

If one encounters another who contends for the Dao, it will be a fight to the death, to see who is superior!
