Chapter 369: The Main God Space (Part 25)

When evil demons were killed, the Main God Space's point rewards showed no change. This scene caught the Main God Space members completely off guard.

"Could these all be fake bodies?"

The Main God Space teams began to ponder. After all, the Main God Space's assessments could not be wrong. If there was a problem, it had to be with these evil demons!

On the battlefield.

Su Chen raised his hand and crushed swathes of evil demons. He carved out a vacuum zone through the battlefield with his own power. No living being dared approach him.

This big shot... truly showed no mercy to anyone. Whether they were living beings of the Illusory Sea Realm, Main God Space members, or evil demons, he killed them all without hesitation.

A Main God Space team noticed the situation in the battlefield.

"It's him!"

A four-person squad recognized the white-robed figure strolling leisurely in the center of the battlefield. This made them feel lingering fear. He really was a big shot. It was fortunate they had not acted rashly.

These four were precisely the same four who had tried to form a team with Su Chen when they were first teleported to the Illusory Sea Realm.

Su Chen's Northern Nether Demon Calling Scripture was gradually perfecting itself. The Northern Nether Demon Embryo radiated demonic nature, vastly different from his transcendent immortal bearing. Immortal and demon coexisted in one body, creating an extremely eerie sight. Countless evil demons fell to Su Chen as he swept across the battlefield.

A long spear pierced through space. Golden lines condensed into a human figure holding a spear that could pierce worlds. It charged straight toward Su Chen. The aura erupting in that instant filled everyone's hearts with thick dread.

This was a Ruler who had reached the Seventh Tribulation!

Clearly, Su Chen's wanton slaughter had drawn the attention of the evil demon side. They had dispatched a terrifying Seventh Tribulation Ruler to eliminate him early!

The long spear pierced through space and arrived before Su Chen. A Seventh Tribulation Ruler facing a Fourth Tribulation Ruler like Su Chen had an unquestionable advantage.

But at that moment, a gentle white light bloomed from between Su Chen's brows and spread outward in an instant. Time and space froze. Countless order chains surged forth and wrapped around the long spear.

Crack!

The instant everything returned to normal, something no one expected occurred.

The world-piercing long spear shattered with a boom, turning into countless fragments that rained down.

Su Chen pressed one hand onto the golden figure's face and pushed downward with slight force. The head and body shattered, then were swallowed whole by a massive maw.

Was this an immortal, or a demon?

Looking at the white-robed youth who remained unstained by dust, people from all camps felt deep fear, as if something were stuck in their throats.

A Seventh Tribulation Ruler had been crushed just like that.

At the same time, Su Chen's aura around him surged. Accompanied by endless currents spreading outward, his cultivation broke through from Fourth Tribulation Ruler to Fifth Tribulation Ruler.

"That god of slaughter actually broke through. Is there no one who can stop him?"

This was damnable. The more he fought, the stronger he became. Other than being unable to revive, he was even more terrifying than they were!

"Killing one evil demon only grants one percent of the cultivation. No wonder the Main God Space shows no points. Without completely killing them, how could the Main God Space judge them as slain?"

Su Chen murmured to himself. He had underestimated these so-called evil demons. They were a very troublesome existence. Based on the energy gained, it would require killing these evil demons at least a hundred times in succession to truly eliminate one.

He looked at the massive gate floating outside the Illusory Sea Realm. Perhaps the other side held the secrets behind these evil demons!

...

Above the Illusory Sea Realm.

The two remaining Dao Lords of the Illusory Sea Realm witnessed Su Chen's performance.

"Perhaps this is the variable. Our Illusory Sea Realm's slim chance of survival rests on this person."

The three powerful evil demons sneered coldly upon seeing this. "Even if you can withstand this attack, can you withstand the next one? You two old fools will die at our hands sooner or later."

A great battle erupted.

On the Illusory Sea Realm battlefield, countless warriors died. Although the Main God Space teams were all elites, they suffered heavy casualties in this massive campaign. The heavy losses were one thing. What made them want to spit blood was that after fighting so desperately, they had not earned a single point. Even some of the top performers among the Main God Space teams began to suspect they had been deceived by the Main God Space.

Su Chen's cultivation advanced repeatedly. He broke through from Fifth Tribulation Ruler to Sixth Tribulation, then to Seventh Tribulation.

Although the energy gained each time was reduced by ninety-nine percent... the sheer number of enemies was simply too great. With his immortal bones and the Northern Nether Demon Calling Scripture, as long as nothing could kill him, Su Chen would only grow stronger. The evil demons above the Tenth Tribulation were being held back outside the Illusory Sea Realm by the Dao Lords, while those below the Tenth Tribulation gradually went from stirring up small waves to becoming mere roadside fodder in Su Chen's hands.

Boom!

Su Chen stopped. The few remaining evil demons chose to self-destruct, while some desperately fled back through the gate.

Blood rain began to fall across the boundless realms of the Illusory Sea Realm, pattering down and filling hearts with sorrow.

Of the two remaining Dao Lords, one was heavily injured and the other had fallen. Although they had successfully killed the three great evil demons and repelled this invasion... what about the next one?

The evil demons were immortal and indestructible.

Not to mention the Illusory Sea Realm—even the veteran Main God Space envoys, who had seen all kinds of strange things, could not help but curse. "What the hell are these things? Killing them doesn't give any points. Will they come back again?"

The answer was yes.

The great battle ended. Although the Illusory Sea Realm had been preserved once more, no one's face showed the joy of victory—only deeper despair. It was merely the difference between dying sooner or later.

After the battle concluded, Su Chen did not return to the Illusory Sea Realm. He stared fixedly at the gate. There were terrifying restrictions within it. Once triggered, even a Tenth Tribulation Ruler would explode and be completely erased. This involved the power of rules.

Perhaps entering that gate would allow him to find a way to truly kill the evil demons.

Su Chen's eyes flickered. A bloodstained figure appeared beside him. It was one of the Dao Lords who had blocked the evil demons.

"Young friend, are you thinking that if we can break the restrictions, we might be able to completely kill those evil demons?"

Endless Sea Dao Lord seemed to see through Su Chen's thoughts. Having personally witnessed the brutality of the battle, he naturally knew that the youth before him was far from ordinary.

Su Chen noticed Endless Sea Dao Lord's presence. His expression remained as calm as still water as he nodded.

He was indeed considering how to break the restrictions.

Chapter 370: The Main God Space (Part 26)

"Breaking the restrictions on the gate is easier said than done. One of our Dao Lords in the Illusory Sea Realm specialized in the Dao of formations. He went to break the restrictions and ended up dead."

Endless Sea Dao Lord spoke with regret. They had lost a Dao Lord for nothing. If not for that, the Illusory Sea Realm would not have declined so quickly.

Endless Sea Dao Lord looked at Su Chen again. "Young friend, what you cultivate is the path of devouring all living beings for your own use. The Devouring Dao is inherently a demonic path..."

Su Chen glanced at Endless Sea Dao Lord. "There are ten thousand Daos under heaven, and all Daos are walked by people. How can there be a distinction between righteous and demonic? As long as a path can make one stronger, it is the correct path."

Looking at the youth's calm and composed expression, a chill suddenly rose in Endless Sea Dao Lord's heart. It was a cold indifference that looked down on everything. Under normal circumstances, Endless Sea Dao Lord would never cooperate with such a dangerous person... But now, with the Illusory Sea Realm facing life and death, personal views no longer mattered. The distinction between righteous and demonic was also irrelevant. Whoever could help the Illusory Sea Realm survive the crisis was a hero and savior.

Among all the Main God Space members who had come to support the Illusory Sea Realm, only Su Chen's performance had been the most brilliant, overshadowing everyone else. He was also the closest to the Dao Lord level.

"Actually, there is a way to break the restrictions on that gate."

Su Chen spoke indifferently. His plain words shook Endless Sea Dao Lord, leaving him dizzy and trembling.

"What?"

He had heard there was a way to break those restrictions?

"A layer of rules. Under rules, how could ordinary living beings break them?"

To master rules and break rules required at least a being at the level of a Twentieth Tribulation Emperor Lord Ruler or higher.

The Dao Lords of the Illusory Sea Realm had treated it as a restriction formation and tried to break it, which naturally triggered the rules and caused their deaths.

Endless Sea Dao Lord asked humbly, "Dare I ask if you have a method to break the rules on this gate?"

Su Chen nodded. "There are two ways to break the restrictions on this gate. The first is to invite a Ruler at the Twentieth Tribulation Emperor Lord level or higher to act. Use rules to counter rules."

Despair appeared on Endless Sea Dao Lord's face. The Boundless Strange Domain was vast, but it had never produced a living being at the Twentieth Tribulation Emperor Lord level... The strongest Ruler in the history of the Illusory Sea Realm had only reached the Eighteenth Tribulation.

"No... that's not right. If there is a first method, there must be a second!"

Endless Sea Dao Lord looked at Su Chen with expectation.

Since there was a first method, there had to be a second... But Endless Sea Dao Lord knew that if the youth said this, the second method would likely come at a heavy price.

"The second method is to sacrifice the blood and souls of living beings to pollute the rules. I happen to possess a blood sacrifice technique."

Su Chen's tone was very calm—calm to the point that blood sacrifice was merely an ordinary matter in his heart.

Blood sacrifice!

Struggle appeared on Endless Sea Dao Lord's face. This was a huge gamble. Should he trust the youth before him?

In the battle for the Illusory Sea Realm, he had believed the youth offered hope of saving the realm, but he had not expected such a heavy price... In the end, Endless Sea Dao Lord asked with a trembling voice, "If we want to pollute the rules and pass through this gate, how many living beings will be needed?"

Su Chen replied, "To completely break the restrictions on this gate, even sacrificing all the living beings in the Illusory Sea Realm would not be enough... If we only want to weaken it enough for some people to pass through, we only need half of the living beings in the Illusory Sea Realm."

Half of the living beings in the Illusory Sea Realm... Endless Sea Dao Lord knew that if he made this decision, he might become a sinner to the entire realm. He had to choose between the lives of all the living beings in the Illusory Sea Realm or sacrificing half to preserve the other half.

"I agree to this deal. As long as it can resolve the crisis of the Illusory Sea Realm..."

In a single instant, Endless Sea Dao Lord made the decision without hesitation.

He did not know when his will had been completely influenced. It was not that Endless Sea Dao Lord was too foolish or weak-willed. This was the subtle effect of Su Chen's Northern Nether Demon Calling Scripture. This was a Dao technique with limitless potential. It was not limited to devouring living beings to nourish oneself. It could also subtly influence and control the will and decisions of others, without them even realizing it.

However, Su Chen had not deceived Endless Sea Dao Lord.

To break rules, there were only these two methods. The Illusory Sea Realm could not invite an Emperor Lord-level existence, so only the second method remained.

The blood sacrifice technique was a heterodox method Su Chen had obtained during the great dark tribulation in the past.

Su Chen influenced Endless Sea Dao Lord's will simply because he did not want to waste time. Without entering the other side of the gate, he could not uncover the reason behind the evil demons' immortality. If he could not kill those evil demons, the complete destruction of the Illusory Sea Realm was only a matter of time.

Jia Ding returned through the gate from the Illusory Sea Realm battlefield with lingering fear.

"Damn it, what the hell was that? Why did such a terrifying big boss appear?"

Jia Ding thought of the white-robed figure who had slaughtered wantonly across the battlefield. For the first time, fear appeared in his eyes.

Even though he could be revived again, he did not want to face that terrifying figure. The two of them seemed like beings from different dimensions.

"Jia Ding, the higher-ups will return in full force soon. The Illusory Sea Realm will definitely become ours!"

"This mission has gathered all the elite players from Seeking Immortality. The rewards are truly generous. Compared to the rewards for occupying the Illusory Sea Realm, the losses we suffered this time are insignificant!"

A fair-skinned young man patted Jia Ding on the shoulder, comforting him.

The two came from the same planet and were both veteran players. They had helped each other in Seeking Immortality and had climbed step by step to where they were today!

The Illusory Sea Realm had only one Dao Lord left. They only needed to launch another fierce assault, and the realm's destruction would be inevitable.

Yet Jia Ding felt uneasy and lacked the young man's optimism. He had a feeling that something major was about to happen...

He looked at the gate separating the two realms and suddenly noticed that the ancient bronze gate was slowly being overtaken by a strange blood-red color.

"What is this?"

Jia Ding thought he was seeing things. He blinked. In that single blink, the ancient bronze gate suddenly transformed into a blood-red portal.

"Not good!"

Figures had appeared on the other side of the gate. Jia Ding's heart filled with alarm, but before he could react, he lost consciousness.

At the same time, countless altars were instantly destroyed.

A young figure burst through.

...

Jia Ding exited Seeking Immortality with a splitting headache. Terror still lingered in his eyes. The game gate had been opened! He had been killed in an instant.

"No, that's not right—the altars!"

Jia Ding suddenly remembered the revival altars inside the gate. If those altars were destroyed, what terrible fate would await him?

Before Jia Ding's eyes, the gaming helmet that allowed him to log into Seeking Immortality shattered into pieces.

Jia Ding's figure disappeared completely from this world. It was as if no traces had been left behind. Even the people closest to him in this world could not remember anything about him. It was as if such a person had never existed.
