Chapter 376: The Main God Space (32)

Inside the Main God Space.

Su Chen sighed softly. "It seems I won't be able to reclaim the immortal bones in the short term, unless a true immortal takes action, or... the ancestor of the Zhao Clan leaves that immortal land."

Only a true immortal could contend against another true immortal!

Having once stepped onto the immortal path, Su Chen naturally knew how terrifying a flawless true immortal was. If he had reacted even a moment slower, he might not have been able to leave.

Forcing the ancestor of the Zhao Clan to leave that immortal land was no easy task either.

Losing the immortal bones was not a great loss to Su Chen. For a being like him, immortal bones were actually somewhat superfluous. There was no significant difference between having one more or one less chance at life. It was simply that they had originally belonged to him.

Su Chen silently noted down the true immortal who had schemed against him.

He, Su Chen, did not hold grudges. He simply enjoyed helping other true immortal fellow Daoists walk different paths.

Unable to reclaim the immortal bones, Su Chen devoted himself to studying the Northern Nether Demon Calling Scripture. Over millions of years, using the Northern Nether Demon Calling Scripture as his foundation and drawing upon the power of the Main God Space, his cultivation advanced further. He evolved a unique physique, which he named the Northern Nether Immortal Demon Body.

Both immortal and demon—it was evil.

Reaching the Emperor Lord realm, no matter how powerful an Emperor Lord was, without becoming an immortal, it was all in vain. Ultimately, one could not escape the chessboard of the myriad heavens and see a broader world.

As Su Chen traveled through the myriad realms, he gradually learned some information.

After the great war of the Immortal Alliance, the myriad heavens had been in turmoil. Then another war had broken out that reshuffled many forces, causing the fall of numerous true immortals... That era was only recorded in a few sparse lines, yet it appeared incomparably cruel. Had those true immortals returned?

No. After that Immortal Fall Era, although there had occasionally been supreme monsters with the aptitude of reincarnated true immortals, Su Chen guessed that the immortals had not returned... Many things he did not know must have happened during that time. At the very least, some immortal Dao fields he knew of had completely vanished.

And now, countless more eras of silence and rebirth had passed since the Immortal Fall Era.

The Void Cosmic Sea had also begun to decline. Su Chen had not found any news of the Cloud Snow Immortal Palace where Dongfang Yunxing was in the Main God Space.

Another unknown number of years passed.

Su Chen began to wait for an opportunity. Like the many Emperor Lords in the Main God Hall, he sought a chance to prove his Dao and attain the position of true immortal... To prove one's Dao and become a true immortal required not only absolute strength, but also that sliver of opportunity—either through turmoil in the myriad heavens and the fall of true immortals, or the opening of a new path at the dawn of creation.

Many rising stars had appeared in the myriad heavens.

The most terrifying was still the powerful force known as the Fourth Scourge. It had plundered countless worlds and gained an infamous reputation. Because of this, the Fourth Scourge had accumulated a formidable force. Without true immortals taking action, no one could restrain it.

The other colossal forces in the myriad heavens seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. No force had sent true immortals to nip the Fourth Scourge in the cradle. They allowed it to grow and expand, spreading like a swarm of locusts until it quickly became a behemoth.

Su Chen had also accepted many missions and clashed with the Fourth Scourge. The growth speed of the Fourth Scourge exceeded his imagination... Yet something about all of this felt off.

How similar this was to the Immortal Alliance back then?

Su Chen was quite covetous of the origin of the Fourth Scourge, but he suppressed the greed in his heart.

The Fourth Scourge had likely already been placed on the table of some existence that surpassed true immortals. There were Immortal King level beings waiting for the right moment to enjoy this grand feast!

There were many veteran Emperor Lord powerhouses in the Main God Space who had vanished from sight. Like Su Chen, they were quietly cultivating in the Main God Space, waiting for the right moment to arrive... That would be a cruel storm of blood and wind, and also the final dance of their lives.

As time turned and alternated.

Gongsun Ling had also risen in a mere few tens of millions of years, becoming an Emperor Lord level being. She had mastered the order of life and death. Once she proved her Dao and became an immortal, she would definitely be a powerful true immortal!

Besides her, many incredibly powerful existences had begun to emerge. Some were called reincarnations of true immortals and possessed the aptitude for immortality. But all these living beings were overshadowed by the radiance of the Fourth Scourge.

Su Chen counted. This was already the fourth great tribulation of silence and rebirth he had passed in this life. The Fourth Scourge had recovered to a terrifying degree... This grand feast might finally be about to begin.

The Fourth Scourge was far more terrifying than the Immortal Alliance of the past. Those existences would not allow the Fourth Scourge to grow smoothly. After all... they only wanted to scheme against the Fourth Scourge while it was weakened. They had no desire to face it at its peak!

In less than a million years, Su Chen received news from the Main God Space. A line of blood-red text appeared before him.

"A mandatory mission. The first joint hunt by the myriad heavens forces against the Fourth Scourge is about to begin!"

The blood-red text on the screen required all beings in the Main God Space at the Great Emperor level and above to participate... Refusal meant erasure!

The rewards were naturally extremely generous—countless points... But for beings like Su Chen, those points were negligible. All Emperor Lord level beings had only one goal.

Becoming an immortal!

Even without the Main God Space's mission or point rewards, they would willingly participate in this upheaval. It was both a crisis and an opportunity.

In Su Chen's eyes, it was the same... This great war would definitely bring an opportunity to become an immortal. Or rather, this was one of the reasons the forces of the myriad heavens had waited until now. They wanted to create true immortals. After all, far too many true immortals had died in the Immortal Fall Era!

Su Chen chose to participate in this war without hesitation.

...

At the same time, in another location within the Main God Space, a place devoid of life. No living being dared approach this Dao field. Here resided an extremely terrifying existence that filled all Emperor Lord level powerhouses of the Main God Space with deep wariness.

"The opportunity to become an immortal has finally arrived?"

He calculated with his fingers. Time flew like a shuttle.

Burial True Immortal Monarch did not know how much time had passed. Ever since Heavenly Gang Immortal Domain had been slain and he had been blocked from returning by the master of the Immortal Alliance, he had struggled again and again within the cycle of reincarnation.

Even as he struggled through reincarnation after reincarnation, he had never given up. On the River of Reverse Fate, this was the indestructible Dao heart of a true immortal!

Finally, he had received news of the Immortal Alliance's destruction and the death of its master.

Burial True Immortal Monarch had finally waited for the chance to return.

But he discovered something terrifying. The path he had cultivated had actually disappeared... Or rather, this path had already been proven by someone else. The immortal position left in heaven and earth had not continued waiting for him. This caused Burial True Immortal Monarch to curse the white-eyed wolves. In just over a hundred eras, they had already abandoned their master!

Since things had come to this, Burial True Immortal Monarch could only suppress his urge to return. After all, no one would show mercy to those contending for the Dao. Burial True Immortal Monarch could only seek another opportunity to become an immortal.

Through reincarnation after reincarnation, he had nearly lost his immortal position. The power of a true immortal no longer protected his true spirit, and he had gradually sunk into the mundane.

In this life, he had accidentally entered the Main God Space and welcomed a turning point.

He... had awakened his memories!
