Chapter 132: Gods in High Martial Arts (Part 8)

Su Chen crushed the divine source, and a terrifying wave instantly coalesced into a towering tornado.
Pure and flawless energy surged into Su Chen's body like a tidal wave.
At this moment, the withered soul spirit in Su Chen's mind opened its eyes once more.
"Mountain and Sea... Realm... War Against Heaven..."
The obscure words echoed in Su Chen's mind.
Su Chen understood the gist.
This unknown powerhouse came from a place called the Mountain and Sea Realm, and seemed to have experienced a great war known as the War Against Heaven, in which this unknown powerhouse perished.
The Mountain and Sea Realm—Su Chen had never heard of it. The most powerful worlds today are the Nine Heavenly Domains, each having produced several Great Emperors since the end of the Ancient Era.
Su Chen wanted to ask something more, but the soul spirit fell silent again; it seemed that a small piece of energy could only awaken it to utter this one sentence.
"It seems that to fully awaken this powerful being and uncover the secrets of this realm, a massive amount of divine energy is required!"
With the surge of divine energy, Su Chen's cultivation officially advanced from the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Soul Realm to the Profound Realm.
This scene left Long Tianxing dumbfounded.
It triggered such a terrifying celestial phenomenon.
Before Long Tianxing could recover, a gigantic face materialized in the sky, and a werewolf with silver fur and wielding a battle spear appeared, its terrifying aura crackling through the air.
"Human powerhouse, how dare you!"
"You actually dare to offend the territory of King Gorba!"
A werewolf who could speak human language, its strength reaching the seventh level of the Profound Realm!
Su Chen unleashed his battle blade, the blade light like waves, one after another, until the final, stunning strike cleaved the silver-haired wolf king in two. Blood seeped into the earth, and the wolf king died so easily.
Having witnessed a wolf king die before his eyes, Long Tianxing was so excited he was incoherent.
Su Chen calmly sheathed his battle sword.
“Boss…this was a wolf king, and he just died like that…Boss, you were so cool!”
Long Tianxing exclaimed excitedly.
Su Chen ignored Long Tianxing, continuing to search the wolf king's corpse.
A crystal the size of a ping-pong ball appeared in his palm.
Su Chen's expression brightened.
His guess was indeed correct.
There were even divine sources within the Wolf Beast Heavenly Cave!
This was practically a treasure trove!
What the outside world feared about the Wolf Beast Heavenly Cave was, in Su Chen's eyes, a giant treasure trove.
For nine months, Su Chen and Long Tianxing traveled throughout the Wolf Beast Heavenly Cave.
One day, the three deputy heads of the War Martial Academy, who were stationed in the Wolf Beast Heavenly Cave, simultaneously opened their eyes, looking into the depths of the cave with expressions of horror.
"Oh no! The Wolf Beast Heavenly Cave is in turmoil... a great disaster is about to strike!"
"Jiang Chen is still inside the Heavenly Cave! He is humanity's hope! Even if we old bones die inside the Heavenly Cave, we cannot let humanity's hope die there! Everyone can die, but Jiang Chen cannot!"
Sensing the aura of the Wolf Beast Heavenly Cave's riot, the three deputy palace masters exchanged glances and made a resolute decision: they would venture deep into the Heavenly Cave, even if it meant a great battle, to prevent humanity's hope from falling within its walls.
However, when the three deputy lords arrived inside the Heavenly Cave, they found the ground littered with the corpses of wolf beastmen. In the areas marked as forbidden zones, not a single wolf beastman remained.
"What...what happened here?"
They even discovered the remains of the wolf beastman's king!
"This is bad...the Wolf Beast Royal Court..."
The three exchanged a glance, a sense of foreboding forming in their minds.
The Wolf Beast Royal Court—that old wolf king was so powerful that even the three of them combined could only barely manage a draw!
After several days, the three arrived at the Wolf Beast Royal Court, only to find it reduced to ruins.
The golden corpse of the wolf king, seated tall on his throne, was cleaved in two.
The terrifying aura emanating from it sent chills down the spines of the three.
"Vice Lord?"
Long Tianxing was slightly taken aback when he saw the three people who had arrived. "What are you doing here?"
The three replied irritably, "You caused such a commotion in the Heavenly Cave, and you're asking us why we're here?"
"What happened here? Where's Jiang Chen?"
Long Tianxing suddenly realized, "The Wolf Beast Heavenly Cave has been pacified by Boss. Everything here was Boss's doing. Boss killed the Wolf King of the Wolf Beast Royal Court and gained some enlightenment; he's currently breaking through within the Royal Court."
This time, the three were stunned. They all thought they had misheard and were hallucinating.
The Wolf Beast Heavenly Cave, which had caused headaches for generations of sages in the War Martial Academy, had been pacified just like that?
Long Tianxing secretly chuckled as he looked at the expressions on the three Vice Lords' faces. Having followed Su Chen for nine months, Long Tianxing had witnessed too many unbelievable things. In Long Tianxing's heart, Boss was a savior!
Nothing is impossible in this world!
One week later
A peerless aura appeared above the Dragon Beast Royal Court, like the rising sun illuminating the heavens and earth.
"It's the aura of a Royal Rank... Someone is breaking through to the Royal Rank!"
The three were stunned.
The figure standing within that pillar of light was none other than Su Chen, his heroic bearing unparalleled!
Su Chen concealed his aura. After destroying the Dragon Beast Royal Court, he obtained some divine essence. Refining this essence, his cultivation successfully reached the Void Realm... the seventh rank in this world, also known as the Royal Rank.
In just one year, he had gone from an ordinary person to the seventh rank.
Even in the Heavenly Profound Domain, teeming with geniuses, this would terrify countless people. It was simply too astonishing!
In Su Chen's eyes, this world was overflowing with treasures!
"Three Deputy Palace Masters?"
Upon seeing the three who had entered the Heavenly Cave, Su Chen immediately understood why they had come. He smiled and said, "Thank you for protecting us, three seniors."
The three shook their heads. "We can't accept that title of 'senior.' It won't be long before we have to call you 'Master'..."
"A nineteen-year-old Emperor Rank cultivator... and only one year of cultivation! Jiang Chen, you are far, far more outstanding than your father and grandfather... There is no one in this world who can compare to you."
The three had complex expressions. They had seen many geniuses... but those so-called geniuses paled in comparison to Su Chen.
One man pacified an entire Heavenly Cave!
Su Chen smiled.
Having witnessed the great world, Su Chen knew that under that starry sky, he was far from the only one capable of such a feat.
Achieving sainthood in a hundred years—in this world, it's unthinkable.
With the Heavenly Cave pacified, only the cleanup remained.
The three deputy palace masters were in charge of the cleanup.
Meanwhile, Su Chen returned to the War Martial Academy with Long Tianxing.
