Chapter 113: Witnesses of the Times (Part 10)

In the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land, numerous disciples and elders noticed this scene.
"What a terrifying aura... This is probably the strongest Void Realm breakthrough aura in the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land in ten thousand years!"
Su Chen and Ling Wuyai simultaneously honed their cultivation to perfection, breaking through to the Void Realm.
However, that wasn't all. Their auras continued to surge rapidly. Su Chen's cultivation reached the fifth level of the Void Realm, constructing a fifth-level Heavenly Cave. Given another ten years, he would surely achieve Nirvana Venerable status, catching up with the era of Wang Yunfei.
Su Chen watched as countless strange phenomena appeared around Ling Wuyai. A divine palace appeared, within which countless illusory figures emerged, some wielding spears, some swords, some wielding knives, some wielding axes... all bare-handed. These deities, without exception, exuded unparalleled spiritual power.
The Heavenly Ruins Divine Body, uniquely endowed by heaven.
Ling Wuyai's aura didn't stop at the fifth level of the Void Realm. Having sealed himself away for tens of thousands of years, the energy stored up within him transformed into cultivation at this moment. With Su Chen's confirmation, his path became even more perfect. In this single breath, Ling Wuyai's cultivation directly entered Nirvana!
After a long while, Ling Wuyai opened his eyes. The aura within his body had calmed down. His expression was joyful: "I never expected that my path would have a fellow Daoist like me. For tens of thousands of years, countless masters have advised me that fusing all laws and refining the heavens is beyond human capability. But I firmly believe that this path is the truly invincible path!"
Su Chen also hadn't expected that Ling Wuyai's path would be the same as his.
Fusing all laws and refining the heavens, becoming the sole supreme being—all paths in the heavens are nourishment. This is the ultimate path, the path Su Chen planned to walk life after life. He possessed the trump card of continuous reincarnation, and had thousands upon thousands of years, countless times, to perfect this path.
But… Ling Wuyai only had one life!
Even a Great Sage can only live for ten thousand years, and a Quasi-Emperor only for thirty thousand.
The legendary Supreme Emperor, who suppresses the world, only lives for one hundred thousand years.
To merge all laws, refine the paths of the heavens, and become the strongest body—how easy is that? Especially in such a great era.
Su Chen respects Ling Wuyai's choice. He won't deny his own path. On this path, having a companion is such a blessing. Even if their destined fate is that only one survives, on the Emperor's Path, among those who share the same path, there is no distinction of superiority or inferiority, only life and death.
"To hear the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening—I fear this is no more than that."
Su Chen sighed.
Ling Wuyai pondered, "The Central Continent Imperial Palace has already sent an invitation. Soon, the young emperor, Yunfei, will be getting married, challenging the geniuses of the Five Regions. The strongest will be paired with the most beautiful."
Su Chen spread his hands helplessly, "He's always been like this, challenging all the prodigies of the Five Regions to forge an invincible path. I'm afraid Brother Wuyai won't miss this spectacular duel."
Ling Wuyai nodded, his tone confident, "Of course. My emergence this time is to see who among the great prodigies of this era can rival me. Such a prosperous age wouldn't be interesting without me! He, Wang Yunfei, wants to use all the heroes of the world as stepping stones. I also want to see just how much this self-proclaimed number one person of this era, hailed as the young emperor, really weighs."
Looking at the confident Ling Wuyai, Su Chen nodded seriously.
Ling Wuyai was delighted, "Does Brother Wang also believe I can defeat your brother?"
Su Chen: "..."
Su Chen shook his head: "I don't know how strong my brother is. He's never lost to an enemy, not even once."
Ling Wuyai wasn't disappointed; instead, Su Chen's words ignited his competitive spirit: "That's because he hasn't met me yet. If he had, I would definitely make Wang Yunfei taste defeat!"
Su Chen felt something was off, listening to Ling Wuyai talk about defeating his own brother in this life.
Logically and emotionally, he should side with Wang Yunfei.
After breaking through his cultivation, Su Chen didn't linger in the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land. He returned to Zhongzhou with Hu Miaomiao and Bai Ma, amidst the reluctant farewells and pleas of the many disciples of the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land.
Zhongzhou had changed in the past ten years. Three invincible figures from an era had emerged, claiming they would challenge Wang Yunfei.
The once-renowned list of geniuses was fiercely competitive, with the top ten all possessing legendary divine or holy bodies—truly a rain of geniuses.
"You're Wang Chen?"
Su Chen was intercepted on his way back to the Wang family.
A strikingly handsome young man sat high on a throne made of black iron, calmly looking down at Su Chen.
"Who are you?"
Su Chen looked at the young man who had blocked his path; he seemed to have ill intentions.
The young man's expression was indifferent: "It seems you are Wang Yunfei's younger brother, Wang Chen. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's intelligence is accurate."
"Normally, I wouldn't have time to deal with a nobody like you... but since you have a good older brother, I can now mercifully tell you that my name is Ji Xuanxiao!"
Ji Xuanxiao? Su Chen was slightly surprised. This was one of the three invincible figures of his era, who had emerged in this era, and now he had come knocking on his door.
Ji Xuanxiao, his expression frenzied and agitated, continued, "I want to challenge Wang Yunfei first! I won't allow him to lose to anyone else; he can only lose to me. You are his brother. If your life is in my hands, he will definitely fight me!"
Su Chen shook his head: "If that's the reason, it's a meaningless battle. Even if I die, Wang Yunfei won't show up for that reason."
Su Chen knew Wang Yunfei's character somewhat. To such a domineering person, even if Su Chen was his only blood brother, dying at the hands of the enemy wouldn't earn him revenge from Wang Yunfei; instead, he would call him a piece of trash.
Therefore, this is a meaningless battle.
Ji Xuanxiao's expression turned slightly cold: "So you're completely useless? In that case, then go die!"
Su Chen remained calm, shaking his head as before, and said indifferently: "If you want to die, you don't need to go find Wang Yunfei."
Ji Xuanxiao was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Su Chen drew his Guichen sword from his waist, his tone calm yet piercing like a thousand blades: "If you want to die, I can be merciful and send you to your death."
Ji Xuanxiao couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Su Chen below and suddenly burst into laughter: "You? You? Interesting, truly interesting. Although you can't make Wang Yunfei fight me, I can still forgive you. You're just too interesting!"
"You said you want me to die? Hahahaha, you can make me die?"
Ji Xuanxiao's body suddenly grew taller, like a demon god descending to earth.
"Such an interesting person as you... it's a real pity you're not my puppet!"
