Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

There was still room for maneuver when dealing with Jiao Wujiu.

When a cultivator at the Integration Realm falls into the void, even the laws of nature have to make way for them.

"Junior."

A sound came from within the blood mist.

A blood-red palm emerged from the mist, its five fingers clenched together.

The void surrounding Su Chen, spanning three zhang, was actually cracked by that palm.

The laws of space were suppressed in that instant.

This was the first time Su Chen had ever seen a method that could suppress the laws of space.

However, I've come to understand some of it.

This thing has secretly set up a restriction, and it cannot suppress the laws of space itself.

It was entirely due to his own cultivation level that he forcibly generated the spiritual power of the restriction.

Use violent spiritual power to seal off the surrounding space.

Ha ha!

After all, it's the fusion period.

Should we continue fighting?

You're out of your mind!

I will retreat for now and wait until my cultivation reaches the Integration Stage.

We will definitely get our revenge for what we got today.

The power of heavenly tribulation is a kind of heavenly law.

They are the most unforgiving.

The lightning arc ignited Blood Butcher's blood palm, causing a corner of the mist to dissipate, and his five fingers involuntarily loosened by half an inch.

Take advantage of this opportunity.

Su Chen's Spring and Autumn Annals of Crossing Calamities swept horizontally down into the void.

A long, ink-stained line, several meters long, was torn open beneath Su Chen's feet.

Su Chen didn't turn his head and disappeared into it.

That's right!

In fact, ever since they acquired such supernatural powers...

Su Chen had discovered it long ago, but he had never had the chance to try it.

That means one can tear through the void and seal and devour everything.

Naturally, one can enter the void on their own and then tear through the void to return.

It turns out that it really can be done!

...

There is no direction in the endless void.

Su Chen relied on the lingering trace of ink to hold on, and with each inch he moved forward, a fine crack appeared in his meridians.

The technique of tearing through the void is a wonderful use if used once, but using it four times is tantamount to courting death.

The power of spatial laws surged wildly in his dantian, and the power of heavenly tribulation was forcibly unleashed once more, causing the two laws to collide with each other in his meridians.

It's not an external injury.

It is a fundamental disorder.

He had only just entered the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, and his Qi was floating. With this chaos below, there were faint signs of collapse.

Su Chen gritted his teeth and activated the Taiyi Treasure Record. After one cycle, he suppressed 30%.

It seems there's no time to hesitate; I really have to return to my clan as soon as possible.

However, this battle is of great significance.

Now I understand, this supernatural power, besides its killing methods, is something else entirely.

That's quite a life-saving skill!

The canopy of the towering tree rippled in the night.

The lotus blossoms on the side peak withered and fell all over the ground.

Su Chen's escape light landed in front of the cave entrance.

He's a little injured now.

Not a single word can be uttered.

Once this gets out, the first question everyone will ask is: why is the Demon Flame Sect targeting Su Chen?

The details of that batch of spiritual materials from the lower realms were revealed to the Haori Sect.

Inevitably, they would be targeted by some old guys within the sect.

Su Chen understood the principle of not flaunting wealth better than anyone else.

If it weren't for this incident, Su Chen would naturally have told everyone about his ordeal.

A small sect will naturally be destroyed by its own people.

The spirit lamp in the side hall suddenly lit up.

With a graceful step, Lu Yao emerged, carrying a cup of spiritual tea.

This woman seemed to have dressed up specially for today.

A red string was tied around her tiny, jade-like feet.

The clothes were also changed to be much thinner and more transparent.

It would be a lie to say that it's not eye-catching.

It's likely that the Holy Maiden saw it.

And they inevitably end up competing with each other.

"Owner."

Su Chen took the tea and gulped it down.

I've told the woman this several times already.

I had no intention of defiling her.

There's no need to call them "master" or anything like that.

But this woman kept calling him "master" and "my lord".

It's getting easier and easier to say it.

She's starting to look more and more like Wang Mei.

At least his lowly slave Wang Mei had been trained by him.

He hadn't done anything to this woman.

Why are you so obedient?

Without a doubt, she was trying to please him and change her life.

Another thing I seek is a peaceful place to cultivate myself.

Heh, do you really think I, Su, would go back on my word?

Su Chen was somewhat speechless.

"Elder Hongfu purged three former subordinates of Yunlei Peak and replaced them with her own people."

"Lady Wangqing's side has been unusually quiet lately."

"understood."

Su Chen waved his hand.

"Go and rest."

Lu Yao responded and withdrew.

In fact, Lu Yao had already noticed it a while ago.

Su Chen's cultivation level has long surpassed mine.

When they first met on the Xuanhuang Continent, Su Chen was only at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.

In a very short time.

He has already reached the late stage of the Void Refinement realm.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

Breaking through the Void Refinement stage can take a thousand years, which is quite common.

Centuries is perfectly normal.

Even with exceptional talent, it can take a century to develop.

This Su Chen...

More importantly, my prediction was correct; Su Chen was injured this time.

He must be having a magical duel with someone.

But the words stuck in his throat...

For a spirit slave to live a long life, they must be sensible and useful.

Asking any more questions at this point is just finding a reason to hasten your own demise.

...

A gentle breeze blew along the boardwalk.

Liu Yunhan arrived faster than Su Chen had anticipated.

His moon-white Taoist robe stood out conspicuously in the night, and his bare feet stepped onto the blue stone steps of the cave, with a leaf blown by the wind still clinging to the back of his foot.

"The true teachings have returned."

Liu Yunhan placed the two ancient scrolls on the table.

"These past few days I've been thinking that there's a note in the second volume about folding space that might correspond to the true teaching of shrinking the earth to an inch."

"I'll take a closer look."

Su Chen picked up a spiritual fruit, twirled it between his fingers twice, but didn't eat it.

"The elder's arrival is quite timely."

"Su has just emerged from seclusion."

"Broken through the realm?"

Liu Yunhan's gaze swept over Su Chen.

Those upturned eyes narrowed slightly.

The Qi is not rising properly.

Unlike the fluctuations that come with breaking through to a higher realm, it's more like something has disrupted its foundation.

"Late stage of Void Refinement."

Su Chen spoke very casually.

"My vital energy is not yet stable, please excuse my poor performance, Elder."

Liu Yunhan kept her doubts to herself.

This kid is hiding his true colors better every day.

The deeper it is hidden, the more valuable it is.

We must get ahead of others and solidify our status as Daoist partners.

Otherwise, things might get complicated.

"If the Qi is not stable, then one should refrain from certain actions."

Liu Yunhan pushed the two ancient scrolls closer to Su Chen.

...

This great battle has disrupted the spiritual energy within my body.

After all, he had only just broken through to the later stages.

Before he could even solidify his cultivation, he ran into that old geezer.

This debt absolutely cannot be settled so easily.

The Taiyi Treasure Record and spiritual herbs can only protect the foundation; they cannot resolve the clash of laws.

If his Daoist partners were here at this moment...

Use the method of dual cultivation to harmonize Yin and Yang.

That's an excellent idea.

Not to mention his three Daoist partners.

Even the Snow Abyss Pavilion Saintess, with whom he still shared a Daoist bond, but had not officially become Daoist partners.

Bai Luwei is the most suitable person to be harmonized using this method.

Unfortunately...

Gu Qingwu was far away in Juque City, and the connection to that Heavenly Tribulation was already strange; he couldn't afford to touch it again.

Lu Yao is a spirit slave, and Su Chen has declared to the Holy Maiden that he would never lay a finger on her.

Heh, since this woman won't let me touch her.

And they keep talking about how dignified and respectable she is.

This time, we really need to rely on her.

I can't possibly have to escape back to the mortal realm to find Lin Wanwan, Wang Yuyan, or Li Tianqi because of this.
