Chapter 385: The Main God Space (41)

The Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King had returned.

As for why he had disappeared for a period, Su Chen guessed it was connected to the Fourth Scourge. Beings at the Immortal King level were the true deciders of victory. The Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King's return signaled the complete defeat of the Fourth Scourge. They would not stage a comeback anytime soon.

With the disappearance of the Fourth Scourge, the myriad heavens entered a long-awaited period of peace.

Su Chen remained in the Supreme Immortal Palace.

First, his ascension had foiled the Transmigrator Alliance's scheme to plant a piece in the Main God Space. Su Chen knew that Burial True Immortal Monarch's arrival in the Main God Space had been no coincidence. Everything pointed to the hand of the Heavenly Gang Immortal King, who was not known for generosity.

Second, with no major events occurring in the myriad heavens at present, staying in the Main God Space held far greater significance than wandering the realms.

Epoch after epoch passed in this manner.

...

In the myriad heavens, another round of darkness erupted. In the Age of Dharma Decline beneath the darkness, no being below the immortal level could escape.

Life and death. What was life? What was death?

Gongsun Ling staggered forward, her body covered in blood. She collapsed beneath a withered tree and fell into deep thought.

At that moment, Gongsun Ling was like the withered tree before her. Her life had nearly reached its end. Becoming an immortal was so difficult. Even though Su Chen had high hopes for her, he only believed she had a slim chance—one less than ten percent. The withered tree before her gradually decayed until it lost all vitality.

Gongsun Ling's aura also began to fade. Her peerless face slowly aged until she transformed into a silver-haired old woman. The old woman sat beneath the tree as her body emanated a decaying aura.

She had fought successive battles against powerful beings corrupted by darkness. Combined with the lifespan and techniques drained by the Age of Dharma Decline, she had long since burned out.

As the final trace of life left the withered tree, a black leaf fell. The silver-haired old woman smiled faintly and slowly closed her eyes.

Here, one of the myriad heavens' most powerful Emperor-level beings had died. Yet when she passed, the surrounding world did not turn into a forbidden zone. Instead, the terrifying cultivation of the Emperor realm transformed into a gentle drizzle that fell upon the fragmented, darkness-corrupted land.

It created one of the few pure lands amid the dark turmoil.

Just as Gongsun Ling scattered her cultivation and passed from the world, endless mist suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the space before her. The mist parted, revealing a white-robed figure approaching from afar.

The white-robed figure remained youthful, forever in the form of a young man.

Su Chen looked at the lifeless Gongsun Ling and sighed softly.

A radiant, life-filled droplet appeared in his palm—the supreme treasure refined by a True Immortal who cultivated the Creation Dao.

As the Creation Immortal Liquid slowly seeped into Gongsun Ling's body, Su Chen raised his hand lightly. The entire world became enveloped in endless mist and turned into a forbidden zone.

This was the final help he gave Gongsun Ling. Whether she could comprehend the Dao of Life and Death would depend on her own fortune.

Su Chen withdrew and left. Just as he returned toward the Main God Space, the aura of the path behind him suddenly became chaotic. He did not arrive at the Main God Space. Instead, he found himself in an unknown realm.

Su Chen's expression remained calm, as if he had anticipated this.

"Fellow Daoist does not seem surprised."

A ethereal voice drifted out from the void.

"People from the Transmigrator Alliance?"

Once his identity was recognized, countless auras surged from all directions and converged into three figures. One had a radiant portal above his head. Another was surrounded by nine dragons with the aura of a Human Emperor protecting his body. The third emanated overwhelming blood qi, with endless vitality forming rivers of blood.

Wisdom... Human Emperor... Blood Soul!

Three True Immortals had arrived together.

Clearly, this grand scheme had been meticulously prepared for Su Chen.

"We have been waiting for fellow Daoist for a long time."

The golden bald True Immortal with the radiant portal above his head spoke calmly, yet his voice carried a special magic that pierced straight into the heart.

The Wisdom Dao was no stranger to Su Chen. Now the Wisdom Dao and Human Emperor Dao—the two paths he had proven in his previous life—had appeared together.

This gave Su Chen the feeling that everything had come without any effort.

Such a feeling was terrifying.

Su Chen grew vigilant.

The greatest coincidence was no coincidence at all.

"Does the Heavenly Gang Immortal King know my true identity?"

There was no need to guess. Su Chen knew this had to be the work of the Heavenly Gang Immortal King.

Su Chen said, "I do not seem to have offended any of you. Why block my path?"

Wisdom Immortal Monarch replied, "Fellow Daoist has no grudge with us. Unfortunately, you should not have become an immortal. You ruined that lord's plans."

That lord made it clear to Su Chen—this was the Heavenly Gang Immortal King's doing. This spacetime had already been locked down by great means.

With a single thought dividing into thousands, Su Chen could not find the correct path.

"Why waste words? Let's attack together to avoid any accidents!"

Blood-colored runes gathered into rivers amid surging murderous aura. Blood Soul Immortal Monarch struck first.

His body was his most powerful weapon. He had long merged flesh and soul, reaching the pinnacle of the myriad heavens' Blood Soul Martial Dao. His giant hand transformed into a blood-colored ancient stele that annihilated myriad realms.

Su Chen countered. He pointed forward, and black particles converged into a cave heaven like the maw of a ferocious beast. It erupted with endless suction, devouring most of the blood-colored runes on the stele. Then his fingertip traced lightly through the void, and a majestic light shattered the blood-colored stele.

"As expected of one who proved dual immortal positions in a single stroke!"

Wisdom Immortal Monarch and the Human Emperor saw that in mere moments, Blood Soul Immortal Monarch had fallen into a disadvantage. Without their help, his defeat would only be a matter of time. He truly deserved his quasi-giant status. Otherwise, that lord would not have sent all three of them at once.

The three True Immortals launched a fierce assault on Su Chen.

Waves stirred in Su Chen's eyes. This was an unsolvable dead end.

Either he killed the three and exposed his identity as the former leader of the Immortal Alliance, or he would be killed by them in this life and meet an abrupt end.

"Heavenly Gang Immortal King..."

He had ultimately underestimated the Heavenly Gang Immortal King.
