The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

Su Chen was startled.

The woman's voice was cold and clear, carrying endless killing intent.

Goosebumps rose all over his body.

In that instant, he felt as if he were locked onto by the Supreme Emperor Weapon, about to be annihilated into nothingness in the next second.

The murderous intent came quickly, but it also vanished just as fast.

Su Chen realized that in that instant, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

Looking up, he saw Zhang Shuping being turned into a bloody mist by a gigantic finger.

A powerful being from the second level of the Sendai Heaven, just one step away from stepping into the third level of the Immortal Realm, an old monster who had lived for countless years, exploded in just one moment, his soul and spirit annihilated.

It's absolutely terrifying.

Su Chen suddenly realized what was happening and was overjoyed.

He bowed towards the direction of the desolate forbidden land: "Disciple Su Chen greets Master."

The Ruthless Great Emperor himself acknowledged "my disciple".

Furthermore, the Devouring Demon Jar inside his body was still there and had not been taken back by the Ruthless Great Emperor.

From then on, he was truly the direct descendant of the ruthless lineage.

What Yao Guang Holy Son, stand aside! What Xing Feng Young Master, stand aside too!

There's also Jiang Yichen, who secretly learned the Undying Heavenly Skill. If he doesn't kneel before the patriarch in the future, he'll have to experience the power of family discipline.

"He's not stupid."

That cold voice came again, but this time it no longer carried a chilling killing intent.

Ji Ziyue stood atop Zhuofeng Peak, filled with worry.

The other elders of the Tai Xuan Sect waited for a long time, but Zhang Shuping did not return, and they all frowned.

"I didn't expect this kid to be so capable. Even the sect leader himself has been taking action for half an hour and still hasn't captured him."

"No wonder, he's the one who stole the Jiang family's quasi-emperor weapon, he must have some tricks up his sleeve."

"So, the sect leader won't have made a mistake, will he?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue thought to herself, "It would be best if I failed."

An elder of the Tai Xuan Sect laughed loudly and said, "Mistake? How could that be? The sect master is a powerful expert at the second level of the Immortal Platform Realm, and he has mastered the supreme secret techniques of the Tai Xuan Sect. Even the Holy Lord of a Holy Land or the head of an ancient family would probably be only on par with him."

"Indeed, the sect leader will not fail. This boy has hidden cultivation levels. His transformation into divine light earlier was so fast that even a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm could not achieve such speed. He must have cultivated a top-tier escape technique. Once we capture this boy, we can search his soul and refine his spirit, mastering the secret technique within the Tai Xuan Sect. From then on, our Tai Xuan Sect will surely advance further and rival the Holy Lands."

Ji Ziyue glared at the elder, thinking to herself, "You old codger, I hope you suffer a cultivation mishap and your soul falls into the Netherworld, never to be reborn."

The thought of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the array plate, and the Bodhi Seed still being in her hands made her worry for Su Chen.

The Four Swords of Zhuxian are so powerful that they might increase Su Chen's chances of escaping.

Bodhi seeds are extremely beneficial to the spirit and soul, and may even help prevent some attacks on the spirit and soul.

Just then, a disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect rushed over, shouting, "Something terrible has happened! The sect leader's soul tablet has shattered!"

"What?"

All the elders and supreme elders of the Tai Xuan Sect who heard the news, including Li Ruoyu, had drastic changes in expression.

An elder grabbed the disciple by the collar, glaring angrily, his imposing aura pressing down on the disciple, turning his face deathly pale.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you to death."

The disciple said, "Elder, how could I joke about such a thing? The soul tablet is really broken. You should go and take a look."

Suddenly, an elder-level cultivator transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

Immediately afterwards, the other elders, the supreme elders, and the peak master also flew away.

Only Li Ruoyu and Ji Ziyue remained.

Li Ruoyu said, "You should leave Tai Xuan Sect quickly, otherwise they might detain you once they realize what's happening."

Ji Ziyue said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master Li. I'm leaving now."

Li Ruoyu sighed, transformed into a stream of light, and followed the others.

Ji Ziyue immediately felt relieved and said, "I didn't expect him to be able to kill a powerful expert at the second level of the Immortal Platform. Good, good! You've been lying to me for so long. Back when we encountered some cultivators from the Dao Palace Secret Realm, you pretended to be no match for them and carried me all the way while running away. You just wanted to take advantage of me. Next time I see you, I'm going to beat you into a pig's head."

She transformed into a streak of light and swiftly left the Tai Xuan Sect.

Su Chen headed south.

There are the Chixiao Mountains there.

Princess Yan Ruyu of the demon race was there; such a beautiful woman, Su Chen knew he couldn't bear to let her go.

I have to get to know them somehow.

"He spent three days comprehending the Dao, and even forgot how to draw items."

"Luckily, the system preserved my chance to draw a card."

"System, give me these three chances to draw items."

[Drawing items three times in total, successful draw. Please choose three items from the following nine items.]

[Origin of the Divine King Body: From Jiang Taixu of Purple Mountain in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness]

[The Secret of the Character "Dou": From Jiang Taixu of Purple Mountain in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness]

[The secret of the character "兵" (bing): originates from an unnamed peak on a rock wall in the back mountain of the Cai clan in Zhongzhou.]

【Three Thousand Divine Sources: From the Primordial Ancient Mine of the Northern Wilderness, by the Corpse Emperor】

[A Primordial Life Stone: From the Primordial Ancient Mine of the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, by the Ancient Emperor Qilin]

[Wanlong Bell: From the Wanlong Nest in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness]

[True Dragon Elixir of Immortality: From the Myriad Dragon Nest in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness]

[Divine Mark of Purple Gold: From the Myriad Dragon Nest of the Northern Eastern Wilderness]

[Imperial-level fortune: From the Stone Emperor of the Undying Mountain in the Central Region of the Eastern Wilderness]

Su Chen's eyes lit up.

Three days of consecutive draws yielded so many treasures.

"The Divine King Body? This is excellent, but it originated from Jiang Taixu. If the source of the Divine King Body is extracted, Jiang Taixu might die immediately. There are plenty of good physiques out there. Isn't Jiang Yichen the Eastern Wilderness Divine Body? We can extract it from him when we have the chance."

"The 'Soldier' ​​character secret is also excellent; it can be drawn."

"It's just divine source. I haven't fully absorbed the three thousand units of divine source in the Sea of ​​Bitterness yet. I'll draw more when needed in the future."

"The Primordial Life Stone must be extracted. It's a treasure that the Supreme Being sealed away himself. If we extract the Corpse Emperor's Primordial Life Stone, it might greatly shorten his lifespan. However, if he goes all out and launches the Dark Turmoil prematurely, that would be troublesome. But if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Let's extract it first."

"The Myriad Dragon Bell is an ultimate imperial weapon. It would be a disservice to the system's favor if I didn't use it. With the system removing all marks, I'm not afraid of the Myriad Dragon Bell devouring its master. Let's use it!"

"The Elixir of Immortality? That's my master's treasure. I covet it, but it's not easy to get. If I did, a gigantic hand might come crashing down on me. Besides, I don't need the Elixir of Immortality right now, so I can't waste this chance to draw it."

"A piece of Divine Mark Purple Gold, this is a good thing, just right to use to refine my own natal Dao artifact. There is already a piece of Immortal Tear Green Gold in the Devouring Demon Jar, once we have gathered all nine Immortal Golds, we can start refining the natal Dao artifact, the sooner the better."

"Imperial-level fortune? Last time it appeared was Wang Teng's imperial son fortune, now it's imperial-level fortune. If I draw away Shi Huang's imperial-level fortune, will he suffer a qi deviation and perish? I can try it."

Su Chen found himself in a difficult situation.

None of these treasures are inferior.

Drawing any one of these items would be very beneficial to you.

Losing any one of them would be extremely regrettable for him.

Finally, Su Chen made up his mind.

"System, extract the Secret of the Soldier, the Primordial Life Stone, and the Imperial-level Fortune."

[Drawing for the Secret of the Soldier, the Primordial Life Stone, and the Imperial-level Fortune - Successfully obtained]

Before Su Chen appeared a stone wall, three zhang high and five zhang wide, its surface covered with natural ravines and man-made carvings of varying depths.

The stone wall is entirely bluish-black, like iron, and exudes a metallic luster.

At first glance, these patterns seem chaotic and dazzling.

Su Chen opened his divine sense and probed inside, where he saw pale golden divine runes of military strategy flowing within the stone wall.

The pale golden divine patterns converged into the character "兵" (soldier) deep within the stone wall.

The secret of the "Soldier's Secret" lies within it.

Meanwhile, in Beidou Zhongzhou, in the forbidden area behind Qinmen, the ancestral home of the Cai clan, a stone wall disappeared.

The Cai family elders guarding the forbidden area were shocked and shook the messenger bell within the forbidden area.

Dang dang dang.

The urgent tolling of bells echoed throughout the Qin Gate.

A large number of high-ranking members of the Cai family flew into the forbidden area.

The Cai family was furious when they saw the huge crater left behind after the stone wall on the mountain was lost.

"Investigate! Investigate for me! Who dared to enter the forbidden area of ​​my Cai family and even dug up the mountain wall?"

"Indeed, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Although the mountain is not a treasure, it is undoubtedly a provocation."

"It seems someone is dissatisfied with my Cai family. They didn't steal my Cai family's treasures, but only dug up a piece of stone wall from the forbidden area. I'm afraid they're thinking of using this to make their point that my Cai family has no one to rely on."

The Cai family was unaware that this stone wall concealed one of the nine secrets created by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable in the mythological era, the "Secret of the Soldier".

Su Chen put the stone wall into the Devouring Demon Jar.

Another silvery-white stone, containing chaotic divine light and covered with natural Dao patterns, appeared in front of Su Chen.

The stone was only the size of a fist.

But it spread out an invisible field.

The area covered by the field had a radius of three meters.

This is the Primordial Stone.

As soon as the Primordial Life Stone appeared, Su Chen immediately felt that the area was like the beginning of chaos, full of boundless vitality. With just one breath, he had a wonderful feeling of physical and spiritual sublimation.

At the same time, time and laws stopped, as if it had become a small world, no longer affected by the larger world.

Su Chen said, "As expected of the Primordial Life Stone, it is indeed a treasure that Supreme Beings in forbidden zones rely on to prolong their lives and slumber for endless years. No wonder some Supreme Beings have lived for hundreds of thousands of years without dying; they probably owe a lot to the Primordial Life Stone."

This moment.

In the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Qilin Ancient Emperor originally slumbered within the Primordial Life Stone. The Primordial Life Stone bore numerous seals, trapping life essence, time, and the laws of nature.

He could sleep peacefully within the Stone of Life.

However, the Primordial Stone suddenly disappeared, and the laws of heaven and earth, and the passage of time, descended upon it once more.

In just a moment, it deprived it of a large amount of its vital energy.

The Qilin Ancient Emperor opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He wanted to roar, but dared not. He wanted to use his immense divine power and senses to scan the entire universe, but he held back his actions at the last moment.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If I find out which scoundrel did this, I will tear him to pieces."

But he was also deeply afraid. There were nine supreme beings in the Primordial Ancient Mine, and endless killing formations. Someone could actually break into it silently.

Furthermore, he secretly stole the Primordial Life Stone that sealed him, demonstrating a supernatural power that is likely all-powerful.

Let alone going to settle scores with that person, even if he stood in front of him, he probably wouldn't dare to say a word.

"When did such a remarkable person emerge from this land?"

"Oh dear, what should we do now?"

He felt his life essence rapidly draining away, and if he didn't seal himself in time, he feared he wouldn't survive until the day the path to immortality opened.

With a flick of his right hand, another Primordial Life Stone appeared, along with numerous treasures for prolonging life, radiating dazzling light.

Swallowing the longevity treasure replenished some of his life essence.

He immediately activated the great formation and used the Primordial Life Stone to seal himself once again.

This commotion was immense; in an instant, the entire Primordial Ancient Mine shook violently, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, and the life essence burst forth.

The other supreme beings were startled awake and sent out divine thoughts: "Qilin Ancient Emperor, what are you doing?"

The Qilin Ancient Emperor said, "A powerful being with extraordinary abilities came to the Primordial Ancient Mine and silently stole the Primordial Life Stone that sealed me. Now I have no choice but to use the second Primordial Life Stone to seal myself again. Originally, this Primordial Life Stone was meant to be used a hundred years later, but now I have to use it ahead of time, which may harm my future plans."

Upon hearing this, the other Supreme Beings were shocked. They had not sensed the mysterious expert entering the Primordial Ancient Mine, but they also knew that the Qilin Ancient Emperor would not use such a thing to deceive them.

Because all of this would deplete a lot of one's life essence, no one would be so foolish.

Su Chen put the Primordial Life Stone into the Devouring Demon Jar, and had the Devouring Demon Jar seal the field of the Primordial Life Stone.

A huge golden cloud suddenly appeared on the invisible, intangible cloud of fortune.

Su Chen, however, felt nothing. "Could the Emperor-level luck be fake? How come I don't feel anything at all?"

In the Undying Mountain of the Eastern Wilderness, a stone god body, towering like a mountain and ancient and domineering, was suddenly struck by a bolt of heavenly lightning. Then, countless bolts of heavenly lightning roared and crashed down, each one striking the stone body.

The Stone Emperor opened his eyes, furious: "Who's messing with me?"

The sound rolled out, shaking the entire Undying Mountain.

The other six supreme beings inside were all awakened.

"Stone Emperor, what happened?"

"The path to immortality has not yet been opened; it is not advisable to leave this world."

The Stone Emperor was furious. He said, "Didn't you see? Lightning keeps falling from the sky and striking me. This lightning appears from the void; it's not caused by celestial phenomena. It's endless, disturbing my slumber. What's going on?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bolt of black divine lightning struck him, knocking off a piece of stone.

"Ugh, why? Who's targeting me?"

The Stone Emperor, disregarding his slumber, broke the seal and swept his divine sense across the universe, but found nothing.

After a long while, the thunder died down, but then divine fire appeared beneath his feet, threatening to burn through his body.

He screamed in pain.

But these supreme beings transmitted their voices to him. "Stone Emperor, are you mistaken? There's no thunder, no divine fire. We only see you shouting nonsense; there's no strange phenomenon at all."

Shi Huang was immediately startled and focused intently on his spiritual platform, only to discover wisps of black energy sprouting within him. "It's a demonic inner force!"

Su Chen waited for a while, but still didn't feel any change from the extraction of the royal-level fortune, so he stopped paying attention.

"I gave up so many treasures just to give the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone a hard time, so you'd better make it work for me."

He continued flying south.

The speed was astonishing, but suddenly, a beam of light pierced his eyes, and he immediately stopped flying and hovered in mid-air.

After searching for a while, they found a divine light flashing in the forest ahead.

As we landed, there was a piece of metal about the size of a palm in the glowing spot.

Its color is a deep blue-green like glass, with a clear, flowing luster and a faint blue halo.

The surface is covered with wing-like ripples, like scales or feathers, as if a flying fairy is spreading its wings.

The metal felt warm to the touch. Su Chen felt that this palm-sized piece of metal was as light as a feather, but when he channeled his divine power and squeezed it hard, he could not leave a mark on it.

"This is?"

"It is very similar to the legendary Feathered Azure Gold, one of the nine immortal golds."

"It is said that when the nine great immortal golds meet, a Daoist aura will appear. I only need to take out the Immortal Tear Green Gold to test it and I will know."

He immediately took out a piece of Immortal Tear Green Gold from the Devouring Demon Jar. When he approached the metal, both metals emitted boundless Daoist charm.

"It really is the Ascension Azure Gold. It's incredible that I stumbled upon it in the middle of a mountain."

Thinking of that imperial-level fortune, Su Chen wondered, "Could it be the blessing of imperial-level fortune?"

The path of destiny is profound and mysterious. Wang Teng of Beidou Beiyuan possesses the destiny of an imperial son, thus he can be said to have the potential to become an emperor. With the protection of the immortal crane, the complete inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, and a portion of the blood of the immortal phoenix, he can live a second life.

This demonstrates the profound mystery of the Way of Fortune.

Su Chen thought, "Although I extracted Wang Teng's Undying Phoenix Body and the Ancient Jade with the Word 'Former' in its secret form, perhaps with the blessing of the Emperor's Luck, other physiques and secret techniques might appear."

His divine sense swept over the mountain again and again. Since a piece of Feathered Azure Gold had appeared here, perhaps another piece would appear as well.

Sure enough, Su Chen's divine sense scanned the area and found two more pieces of Feathered Azure Gold the size of human heads, as well as a broken spout of a Feathered Azure Gold pot, but he couldn't find the pot body.

"I feel like this spout is an ultimate imperial weapon. It has mysterious and unfathomable runes and many Dao principles on it."

Su Chen put away all the Azure Gold Feathers.

They found a clean cave in the mountains, and as they walked inside, they discovered that the cave was unfathomably deep.

The further you go in, the richer the spiritual energy becomes.

After walking for several miles, the spiritual energy suddenly turned into mist, colorful and dazzling.

The cave was not yet at its end; it went deeper and deeper into the mountain, as if it were about to burrow into the depths of the earth.

As you venture deeper, spiritual energy condenses into chunks of energy that are embedded in the cave walls.

There is also a stream of spiritual energy flowing slowly, leading to a huge mountain space at the end.

There is a deep pool inside, and the water in the pool is all formed from the condensation of spiritual energy.

The cave walls are inlaid with a large number of sources, which emit colorful divine light and illuminate the cave.

Inside was a broken pot-shaped divine weapon.

It radiated a divine light and was actually made entirely of celestial lapis lazuli.

There was also a skeleton next to it, the bones had turned into jade, and the skull was drooping.

There were many characters on the cave walls. Su Chen looked at them one by one and finally understood the situation here.

It turns out that the owner of the skeleton was the young master of the Light Clan, who came to Beidou more than 30,000 years ago with a replica of the Light Clan's supreme imperial weapon, the Divine Refining Pot.

During his battle with the Azure Emperor, his quasi-Emperor weapon was shattered by the Azure Emperor, leaving him severely wounded and on the verge of death.

He sought a spiritual vein to heal his wounds, but ultimately the injury proved incurable, leading to his death and the dissipation of his spiritual essence.

He left behind a replica of the Quasi-Emperor's Divine Refining Pot and the "Light Refining Scripture," an ancient emperor-level cultivation technique created by the ancient emperor of the Light Clan. He hopes that someone destined will return his remains to the Ancient Star of Light.

Su Chen laughed, "Absurd. I won't send your remains back, but your cultivation technique and quasi-emperor weapon are mine too."

He immediately took out the Devouring Demon Jar, put the corpse into the jar, and then activated the Devouring Demon Jar to refine it.

A remnant soul flew out from the corpse, roaring, "You brat, let me out!"
