The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

Upon leaving the forbidden area, the energy within my body flowed continuously through my pores, forming golden streams of light that slowly dissipated.

He felt his lifespan slipping away, and he secretly contemplated the wonders of the ancient forbidden land.

This place is known as the foremost of the seven forbidden zones of life in the Big Dipper, filled with the laws of time, capable of robbing the lifespan of any creature that enters. While it contains endless treasures, it also harbors endless killing intent.

Any cultivator from outside who attempts to enter the forbidden area will have their lifespan deprived upon entry, causing them to age instantly. The higher their cultivation level, the faster their lifespan will be deprived.

Amazed by the wonders of the forbidden area, Su Chen dared not linger and quickly left. The energy of the divine spring and divine fruit within his body was fully activated, replenishing his lifespan. His appearance even regressed, transforming him from a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old back to a twelve or thirteen-year-old.

Although he is still 1.85 meters tall, he looks too young.

The moment he stepped out of the forbidden area, the golden aura emanating from his skin pores ceased, and he returned to a state of flawless purity. He took a deep breath and exhaled; the breathing techniques from the Demon Slayer world were completely useless here. "Fortunately, the system gave me the formidable physique of DC Superman, a certificate that is permanent. Otherwise, from Demon Slayer to Shrouding the Heavens, I would have been nothing more than an ant at the mercy of others."

A deafening scream came from the sky.

A golden-winged roc swept past, lunging fiercely at Su Chen. Its feathers gleamed with a metallic sheen, each one as hard as iron. Its claws were as black as ink, their cold light sharp as knives, moving with lightning speed.

Su Chen's eyes were bloodshot, shooting out two beams of intense light that instantly sliced ​​the golden-winged roc in two. A torrent of blood gushed out, turning into a rain of crimson that fell down.

The stench of blood attracted a pack of wolves, each the size of a house, with eerie blue eyes and bony spikes protruding from their spines. They attacked Su Chen, their bony spikes exploding into streaks of light that shot down like cannonballs.

Su Chen didn't dodge, letting the bone spikes fall on him, yet remaining calm and composed amidst the impacts. Instead, the bone spikes that struck Su Chen turned to dust. He exhaled a blast of icy air, freezing over thirty giant waves into ice sculptures.

After walking for a while, we encountered another magnificent tiger, over thirty meters tall.

Su Chen was astonished. How had Ye Fan and his group managed to emerge unscathed from the outskirts of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, surrounded by so many demonic beasts? Without lingering, he leaped into the air, smashing the head of the striped tiger with a single punch, and then flew outwards at an astonishing speed. If any cultivator were to observe this, such speed would be comparable to that of an ancient great power.

He landed in a small town and stayed at an inn. The innkeeper was an elderly man who looked old but was only in his fifties. His name was Jiang Haisheng, and he had a granddaughter named Jiang Tingting.

Su Chen couldn't help but feel it was a coincidence. If he remembered correctly, this person was a descendant of the ancient Jiang family. Their ancestor had moved here to escape internal strife within the family, and the descendants, having no cultivation, had become mortals. Jiang Tingting possessed the Taiyin Body, which theoretically allowed her to become a Great Emperor, but her innate limitations prevented her from living past 20.

However, Su Chen didn't think much of it. He simply activated the "Undying Heavenly Technique," opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and took his first step into this world of cultivation.

The Sea of ​​Bitterness is the first minor realm within the first secret realm—the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm. Subsequent minor realms include the Spring of Life, the Divine Bridge, and the Other Shore. Upon successful completion of cultivation in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, one can transcend the mortal realm and become a true immortal; this is the starting point for entering the world of cultivation.

"Three inches below the navel, open it with your mind and stimulate it with your vital energy to open the wheel of life."

Su Chen felt a sharp, stabbing pain flicker in his dantian, followed by a surge of black mist and the opening of chaos. A point of crimson light flashed and then expanded continuously.
