Chapter 379: The Main God Space (Part 35)

"How arrogant!"

As the top-ranked god-tier player among the Fourth Scourge and the one hailed as the strongest beneath True Immortals, the Annihilation Demon Ancestor had never been looked down upon by anyone.

Even though the being before him exerted a terrifying pressure.

Burial True Immortal Monarch regarded the Annihilation Demon Ancestor with calm indifference. Though he had fallen on hard times, he had once been an immortal. He had seen far too many dazzling geniuses like this one.

The Annihilation Demon Ancestor unleashed a strike. The space around Burial True Immortal Monarch suddenly became wrapped in a layer of grayish airflow. The area compressed, flickered, and finally collapsed into a void where nothing existed. Every trace of information about that location was erased from spacetime.

The shocking upheaval silenced the entire battlefield for a moment.

"The Fourth Scourge actually has someone this terrifying!"

That power could destroy everything, even spacetime itself. How overbearing was it?

"Is this what the pinnacle monsters of the myriad heavens look like?"

In the midst of the Emperor melee, Yang Jiesheng swallowed hard.

After being killed in the past, he had relied on his indestructible soul to defy death through countless reincarnations. He had finally gained the chance to enter an immortal land. Through relentless struggle, he had climbed step by step until he reached the Emperor realm.

Yang Jiesheng understood how vast the myriad heavens were. He had joined this epic campaign to encircle the Fourth Scourge without hesitation, since he did not fear death anyway.

He was a genius, but every participant in this war was a monster among monsters. They all possessed unmatched talent, fortune, and supreme power.

Yang Jiesheng sensed a vast surge of sword qi nearby. A heaven-toppling sword strike suddenly descended.

An unparalleled figure appeared, with life and death energies revolving endlessly behind her. A diagram of the Dao of Life and Death manifested, suppressing the myriad heavens.

"It's her, the Life and Death Emperor!"

Her sword directly slew an Emperor from the Fourth Scourge side, staining the battlefield with blood. She showed no fear toward the surrounding enemies. The Life and Death Diagram split apart and transformed into two true dragons, one black and one white.

The Life and Death Emperor ranked three thousand on the myriad heavens Emperor leaderboard. She was a powerful expert who had mastered the Great Dao of Life and Death. Rumor said she had inherited her lineage from some terrifying existence.

Yang Jiesheng's face turned bitter. It seemed his next reincarnation was only one step away.

Surrounded by enemies, Gongsun Ling remained unshaken.

Until a faint ripple appeared in a certain patch of space.

A trace of fluctuation stirred in Gongsun Ling's eternally steady pupils.

That brief ripple gave the three surrounding Fourth Scourge Emperors their chance.

Gongsun Ling quickly refocused her thoughts. She still had strong enemies to face.

The battle erupted. Gongsun Ling held her own against three opponents, but Yang Jiesheng suffered. He was forced into the center of the battlefield and soon found himself in a sorry state.

He was an Emperor realm expert, after all.

Yang Jiesheng charged desperately toward a powerful Fourth Scourge Emperor. His suicidal fighting style made the enemy wonder who the real Fourth Scourge member was. How could someone fear death even less than he did?

...

In a relatively remote corner of the battlefield, Black Purity Emperor Lord gazed toward the distant heights where boundless torrents surged. The annihilating power within those clashes made his heart tremble even across the vast distance.

Monsters.

"After a strike like that, how could any being survive?"

Black Purity Emperor Lord murmured to himself. He wanted to become an immortal, but he was far from the only one with that ambition.

"No, he is still alive."

A calm, indifferent voice sounded beside Black Purity Emperor Lord's ear, as if answering his shock.

As the words faded, the annihilated spacetime was restored by an unknown force. Burial True Immortal Monarch, who had vanished without a trace, stepped out as if strolling from another timeline.

The Annihilation Demon Ancestor's full-powered strike had not injured him at all.

Black Purity Emperor Lord froze in place. What terrified him was not that someone had survived the Annihilation Demon Ancestor's terrifying killing blow. It was the sudden appearance of a white-robed youth right beside him—someone he had not sensed at all.

Vaguely, Black Purity Emperor Lord felt a faint sense of familiarity.

"Long time no see."

When Black Purity Emperor Lord clearly saw the youth's face, he realized that after several epochs the boy had not changed in the slightest. A wisp of divine light between his brows revealed the source of that familiar feeling.

"It's you!"

Black Purity Emperor Lord's pupils shrank violently. He recognized Su Chen. This was the terrifying Emperor who had once destroyed the Black Purity Heavenly Sect.

Although they had only met briefly before the youth vanished, Black Purity Emperor Lord had never forgotten him. Unbeknownst to him at the time, this youth had caused Zhao Wudi to lose an immortal bone—one that had ended up in the hands of the young Emperor before him. Yet he felt no joy at the reunion now.

Black Purity Emperor Lord did not hesitate. He tried to flee at once, but Su Chen merely smiled faintly at the fleeing Emperor.

"The Northern Nether Immortal Demon Body still lacks its final piece. Since it is my immortal bone, I naturally have to take it back."

Black Purity Emperor Lord suddenly felt a chill on his scalp. Without warning, Su Chen had caught up. One hand rested directly on the crown of his head. They were both in the Emperor realm, yet the gap between them was vast.

Despite his countless years of experience, Black Purity Emperor Lord felt only sorrow and despair in that moment.

A cold voice reached his ears.

"Zhao Wudi dug out my immortal bone. I will settle that karma with him myself. Unfortunately... you have taken on his karma for him. This debt naturally falls on your head."

The moment the words ended, Black Purity Emperor Lord's soul froze. A towering demonic qi descended from above and devoured his body of order completely. One hundred and seven immortal bones emerged and sank into Su Chen's body, merging seamlessly with his flesh.

The demonic form suddenly radiated gentle immortal light. In that instant, the immortal and demonic energies reached a strange balance. The Northern Nether Immortal Demon Body had officially formed.

"What a pitiful puppet."

In Su Chen's eyes, as Black Purity Emperor Lord died, a faint thin thread appeared, connecting toward an unseen direction.

The thread of fate.

This was what Su Chen had meant: Black Purity Emperor Lord had been a manipulated puppet from beginning to end. Every move and thought had been influenced by a True Immortal lurking behind the scenes.

Su Chen casually severed the thread. Subtle karmic fluctuations flowed along it toward the other end.

A pillar of light that pierced the heavens erupted around Su Chen.

Chapter 380: The Main God Space (Part 36)

In a vast immortal land, a pair of ancient eyes slowly opened. It seemed as though the entire world was reflected within those pupils. This was the True Immortal who had been plotting against Su Chen from behind the scenes.

"Black Purity is dead?"

The True Immortal learned of Black Purity Emperor Lord's death.

"I was right... That fellow must be connected to the remnants of the old Immortal Alliance."

The True Immortal sneered. "Dao Extremity... I want to see just how long you can keep hiding."

As fellow True Immortals of the Karma Dao, killing each other was the fastest path to greater power. If the Myriad Transformations Dao Extremity Immortal Monarch had not been severely injured, he would never have dared target him. But now, that man represented the key to his next step forward.

...

"So that's how it is."

All one hundred and eight immortal bones had returned to Su Chen's body. New, unfamiliar memories surfaced in his mind. A blurry silhouette gradually became clear.

In this life, he had been born with one hundred and eight immortal bones and possessed True Immortal potential. Such monstrous talent was not entirely a blessing. He had even begun to manifest the embryonic forms of the Wisdom Dao and the Human Emperor Dao.

In the unseen depths, two pairs of giant hands had been locked in a contest. His immortal bones had been dug out, but he had not died. A wisp of his life force was split in two. One half became Zhao Chen of the Heavenly Eastern Dao Province, while the other half was unexpectedly reincarnated as an ordinary office worker on a mundane planet.

Zhao Chen continued living in the Heavenly Eastern Dao Province as bait to divert attention. The other Zhao Chen was infused with a trace of the Main God Space origin. When the time was right, Zhao Chen of Heavenly Eastern fell off a cliff by "accident." The two merged into one. Not only did he awaken his memories, but he also slipped past the heavens and successfully entered the Main God Space.

Both the Main God Space and the Transmigrator Alliance were top forces in the myriad heavens. If Su Chen's identity as the former leader of the Immortal Alliance were exposed, the Transmigrator Alliance would never let him go easily. Yet with the Main God Space shielding him, even the Transmigrator Alliance could not reach into another behemoth of equal standing. Once Su Chen proved his Dao and became a True Immortal, he would be the Main God Space's True Immortal. Backed by that power, his past identity as the Immortal Alliance's leader would vanish.

As the blurry figure of the young man in his mind grew clearer, Su Chen finally understood the identity of the person behind the scenes.

Oriental Cloud Star.

However, it seemed his former chief disciple was not in a good state at the moment.

Su Chen's aura remained calm.

At that moment, on the battlefield, the phenomenon of the immortal-demon body erupted into towering waves that swept across everything.

That aura even startled Burial True Immortal Monarch. He abandoned his focus on the Annihilation Demon Ancestor, his expression turning unusually grave.

"This aura... Could this be another True Immortal reincarnation?"

This being had already surpassed the Emperor realm and touched the threshold of immortality.

Burial True Immortal Monarch had a strong feeling that this person would become the greatest obstacle on his path to immortality.

Even if he was not a True Immortal reborn, he was still an unparalleled monster who might appear only once in hundreds of epochs across the myriad heavens—one truly qualified to become an immortal.

Many powerhouses on the battlefield stared at the rising youth who shone like the sun and moon together. Weaker cultivators died instantly from a single glance, their cultivation absorbed. Even the Emperor-level beings felt the laws within their bodies draining away.

What kind of terrifying monster was this?

The angel from the Eternal Kingdom gripped the Sword of Eternity. The undying holy flames on the blade began to flicker and extinguish.

A demon. This was a demon more terrifying than the Prison Blood Demon Lord, more evil than any wicked being from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Falls. Just looking at him made the angel feel as if the eternal blood within his body was about to freeze.

"If he becomes an immortal, the myriad heavens will be plunged into endless suffering."

The Eternal Kingdom angel abandoned his pursuit of the Prison Blood Demon Lord and the Star River Lord. He had a more important mission to fulfill.

The monk from the Infinite Light Heaven gazed with compassionate eyes and murmured, "Neither fully immortal nor fully demonic... This is ultimate evil. If he becomes an immortal, the myriad heavens will surely face calamity."

At that moment, the powerhouses of the myriad heavens—including not only the angel from the Eternal Kingdom and the monk from the Infinite Light Heaven—saw many monstrous geniuses from colossal immortal-level forces turn their gazes toward Su Chen in unison.

In that instant, they all sensed in their hearts that this being posed an even greater threat than the Fourth Scourge itself. They absolutely could not allow him to become an immortal.

Su Chen raised his head and looked toward the empty sky above.

"It seems some people do not want me to become an immortal."

The entire world appeared ready to stand against him. Even so, the more others tried to stop him, the more determined Su Chen became to prove his Dao and achieve immortality right here.

Facing the Sword of Eternity that tore through spacetime, Su Chen raised his hand lightly. The immortal-demon phenomenon merged into one and manifested as an incomparably majestic figure identical to his current self. With a single palm strike, the Sword of Eternity shattered. Without pausing, Su Chen crossed space, grabbed the six-winged being covered in eyes, and pulled him out.

"Eternal holy blood makes for excellent nourishment."

Su Chen grinned at the angelic being. The manifested majestic Dharma body tilted its head back and stuffed the Eternal Kingdom angel into its mouth.

The Northern Nether Immortal Demon Dharma Body. Everything in the myriad heavens could be refined. Even legendary treasures like eternal holy blood would become resources for his ascension to immortality.

The horrific scene chilled the hearts of countless Emperors. An angel from the Eternal Kingdom, no weakling, had died just like that—devoured like a snack and digested casually.

Seeing the other beings filled with fear, Su Chen did not hesitate. He grabbed whole groups of powerhouses in one palm and let the Northern Nether Immortal Demon Dharma Body refine them.

Such overbearing dominance even startled Burial True Immortal Monarch.

"This fellow... He actually wants to devour every living being present. Does he think that will let him become an immortal? Is he not afraid of polluting his true spirit?"

"No... That's not it... This guy wants to prove more than one True Immortal position. He intends to prove dual True Immortals at the same time!"

Burial True Immortal Monarch lost his previous composure. Only one thought remained in his mind.

"Even if he is a True Immortal reborn, how does he dare?"

Even he had only been cautiously exploring a second path.

Burial True Immortal Monarch snapped back to attention and saw the immortal-demon figure seem to fix its gaze on him. His expression darkened. He had once been a True Immortal himself. How dare this being treat him as food?

"Arrogant fool. Let me see exactly what you are worth!"

The power of reversal twisted two timelines into a cage.

Su Chen had devoured a large number of Emperor-level beings from the myriad heavens. He paused, his body enveloped by the reversal power yet unmoving.

"A True Immortal reincarnation who wants to walk a second path? Or perhaps..."

Su Chen suddenly felt that this reincarnated True Immortal seemed somewhat familiar. Although he had walked the path of reversal, the techniques he had derived still carried an indelible aura.
