Chapter 373: The Main God Space (29)

Yellow Springs Realm.

After helping Gongsun Ling resolve her crisis, Su Chen took her to wander through the forbidden lands of the Yellow Springs Realm to comprehend the Dao of life and death.

Gongsun Ling was a heaven-gifted talent to begin with. With Su Chen's guidance, her understanding of the Great Dao of life and death advanced at an astonishing speed.

On the Yellow Springs battlefield, the Fourth Scourge launched another invasion, triggering a brutal great battle.

The strength of the Yellow Springs Realm was far greater than that of the Illusory Sea Realm. With a total of ten Dao Lord-level powerhouses, they managed to withstand wave after wave of attacks from the Fourth Scourge.

However, the biggest problem soon emerged. As long as the Fourth Scourge had enough revival coins, they were immortal. When a Dao Lord of the Yellow Springs Realm died, they were truly dead.

"You want to use the living beings of my Yellow Springs Realm to break open that gate?"

The remaining Dao Lords of the Yellow Springs Realm faced the mysterious youth who had suddenly intruded. One of them rejected Su Chen's request without hesitation. "Such monstrous karma is something my Yellow Springs Realm cannot bear... Moreover, you have no proof. In the end, whether my Yellow Springs Realm wins or the evil demons win is still unknown."

Looking at the confident Dao Lords of the Yellow Springs Realm, Su Chen sighed lightly.

In an instant, the five remaining Dao Lords of the Yellow Springs Realm all assisted Su Chen in breaking open the gate through his method.

He had not been asking for their opinion. He had merely inquired politely once. He had not expected any of the Yellow Springs Realm Dao Lords to actually refuse his request. Su Chen could only very "respectfully" help them make the decision.

Boundless filthy energy assaulted the gate.

"The rules on that gate have been strengthened."

The power of the rules on the gate in the Yellow Springs Realm was much stronger than in the Illusory Sea Realm.

Su Chen knew this was undoubtedly the work of the master behind the Fourth Scourge.

This also told Su Chen that the master of the Fourth Scourge had not yet recovered to the level of a true immortal. If he had, he would never have given him this opportunity.

Borrowing the power of the Yellow Springs Realm, Su Chen ultimately succeeded in weakening the rules enough for him to pass through. However, the number of Yellow Springs Realm living beings who died was far greater than anticipated.

Su Chen thoughtfully transferred the karma of the Yellow Springs Realm onto its several Dao Lords.

Gongsun Ling witnessed everything firsthand. Su Chen had not hidden it from her.

"Do you think your master is too cruel?"

Faced with this sudden question, bewilderment appeared in Gongsun Ling's eyes.

The number of living beings who had died by her hand was not small. It was perfectly normal for a great battle to destroy countless worlds.

But the living beings she had killed amounted to less than a drop in the ocean compared to a grand sacrifice like this.

Su Chen said calmly, "What your master wants to teach you is that the path of cultivation requires weighing the pros and cons. You cannot be soft-hearted."

"If we cannot completely kill the evil demons, the Yellow Springs Realm will eventually be completely destroyed by them, with not a single survivor left. At that point, weighing the pros and cons would be meaningless."

"And the reason they can be sacrificed so easily is simply that they are not strong enough. If they were strong enough to charge into the gate themselves, there would be no need to sacrifice so many living beings."

Su Chen looked at Gongsun Ling and said coldly, "What your master hopes is that in the future, when you encounter a crisis, you can rely on your own strength and wisdom to overcome it, rather than praying to others or relying on calls for friendship and bonds—methods that beg for heavenly fate. Fate lies within oneself. People must rely on themselves."

In such a short time, Gongsun Ling had become an Emperor and transcended her world. While her talent was outstanding, she had experienced too little... Her Dao Heart was not yet complete. She would inevitably become a pawn for others. Not only those lofty immortals, but even the remnant soul of a mere Lord of Yellow Springs had dared to scheme against her.

Su Chen did not want Gongsun Ling to be awakened by some existence during a future great tribulation through the lingering "thoughts" in her heart, falling into a scheme and dying with her Dao extinguished. Ruthlessness was not heartlessness, but making the most rational judgment. This was something one had to experience to become a true immortal.

Su Chen easily destroyed the revival points. He obtained a large amount of points.

The five Dao Lords of the Yellow Springs Realm suddenly woke up. They discovered that at some point, they had become stained with monstrous karma.

Besides the monstrous karma, the realm treasure of the Yellow Springs Realm had also vanished without a trace. They had no memory whatsoever of what had happened.

...

In a strange space, he saw yet another player legion destroyed, and his face darkened instantly.

"Damn it! Why is it that guy from the Main God Space again!"

He had clearly spent a great price to upgrade the power of the rules. Why could that guy still enter the revival points? And it was not just one gate. Soon after, more bad news arrived.

Another revival point had been destroyed. This drove him nearly mad. The foundations he had painstakingly built up were being destroyed one after another.

Looking at the figure that was about to depart, a trace of killing intent rose in his mind. He wanted to completely erase this youth who had repeatedly ruined his plans.

But in the end, he suppressed the killing intent.

"It must be one of the supreme powerhouses behind the Main God Space influencing my thoughts..."

He restrained his killing intent toward Su Chen. He knew that the youth was merely a pawn. If he took action and was caught by the supreme powerhouses of the Main God Space, it would be over.

"Withdraw. The invasion of the Boundless Strange Domain cannot continue."

Seeing that the invasion had failed, he naturally would not stubbornly fight on and bury the foundations he had accumulated over the years here.

...

Su Chen sensed an aura in the void that wanted to erase everything around it. But that aura only lasted for an instant before disappearing, making one wonder if it had been an illusion.

Su Chen knew it was not an illusion. The master of the Fourth Scourge behind the scenes had developed killing intent toward him, but had ultimately restrained it.

This left Su Chen somewhat disappointed. This master of the Fourth Scourge was much smarter than he had imagined. If the master of the Fourth Scourge had dared to act, the existences behind the Main God Space would not have easily let go of a Fourth Scourge master who was still in a weakened state.

Su Chen's cultivation had reached the peak of the Eleventh Tribulation.

At this moment, the gates of the master of the Fourth Scourge began to withdraw from the Boundless Strange Domain one after another.

This left Su Chen somewhat disappointed.

However, a change occurred.

In a certain location within the Boundless Strange Domain, a powerful aura suddenly erupted. Accompanied by monstrous energy and dense karma, it transformed into a supreme god of slaughter.

An Emperor Lord-level being had been born!

Su Chen raised his head and looked at that Emperor Lord-level being. He carried monstrous karma.

He... had also used the blood sacrifice method to break through the barrier from the peak of the Nineteenth Tribulation to the Twentieth Tribulation Ruler. At least three major realms in the Boundless Strange Domain had been refined. In the end, a savior had appeared. The decision made by the Boundless Strange Domain was the correct one.

Unfortunately, the existence behind the Fourth Scourge clearly had no intention of continuing the fight.
