Chapter 195: Imperial Decree (XI)

A Dragon Emperor at the Great Saint Realm!
The spatial passage, unable to withstand the terrifying aura, collapsed instantly.
“Someone fears me and wants to use this opportunity to kill me!”
Su Chen stared directly at the Dragon Emperor. Even with his revered status in this life, an ancient dragon was no match for him!
A jade hand traversed layers of space, holding a rune. A lazy voice came from the other end:
“A mere impure-blooded mudskipper dares to attack the Imperial Son of the Ye Family!”
“He shall be killed!”
The rune in the hand burned, eventually transforming into a portal. From the other end of the portal, boundless divine light surged, transforming into countless projections of divine weapons that crushed the galaxy.
“This is… the divine weapon treasury of the former Ye Family's Hundred Battles Emperor! It still exists in the world!”
The Hundred Battles Divine Weapon, accompanying the Ye Family Emperor's fame that shook the starry sky, had slain countless alien races, even staining the blood of ancient emperors!
The Dragon Emperor of the Myriad Dragon Cave was ultimately not a true ancient emperor. Even if he were, he would feel terror at this moment.
“Ye Family Imperial Daughter! You’re still alive!”
The Dragon Emperor was shocked and utterly horrified. Only a direct descendant of the former Great Emperor of the Ye Family could wield the Hundred Battles Divine Weapon!
That place contained countless divine weapons that had defeated the Great Emperor of the Ye Family in the past—far beyond his ability to contend with. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, he unhesitatingly chose the best.
Unfortunately, Ye Liuli had no intention of giving the Dragon Emperor a chance to live. Today, she would use the blood of a top-tier expert to proclaim to the starry sky that the Ye Family was not in decline, and that its foundation was sufficient to protect a prince's growth!
The Hundred Battles Divine Weapon, the Annihilation Realm—Ye Liuli tore through the void. A shrill scream echoed through the starry sky. The Dragon Emperor, standing at the pinnacle of all races, was about to meet his end!
However…the matter was far from over!
Across endless space and time, a terrifying curse descended.
"The Soul-Destroying Curse!"
Ye Liuli was enraged. She abandoned her plan to kill the Dragon Emperor, determined to stop the curse from descending!
The Soul-Destroying Curse—the most vicious curse in the starry sky, responsible for the deaths of countless brilliant individuals!
At this moment, it was too late for Ye Liuli. The one who had attacked had orchestrated everything. The Dragon Emperor was merely bait to lure Ye Liuli; his true purpose was to nip Su Chen in the bud. This was an extremely ancient and cunning being!
"It's actually the Soul-Destroying Curse!"
In his previous life, Su Chen had also heard of this terrifying curse. Those afflicted by it could not live past a hundred years; without exception, they would die in excruciating pain. As far as he knew, very few lineages in the entire starry sky possessed mastery of this curse!
With just a thought, Su Chen felt a terrible blow to the depths of his soul. His once vibrant soul was rapidly decaying, his black hair turned white, and he was aging rapidly. Hundreds of runes appeared in Ye Liuli's hand, following the aura, traversing infinite space, staining the starry sky with blood, but still they could not stop the person behind the scenes.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Ye Da, Yuan Ming, and Ji Changkong tried to approach Su Chen but were blasted away. Ye Liuli appeared beside Su Chen, her green fairy dress stained with blood. She had also been injured in the brief exchange. She took out a large bottle of Time Water and began to force-feed Su Chen countless elixirs and other miraculous medicines.
Su Chen stopped Ye Liuli, coughing lightly, "Sister Liuli, it's no use. The Soul-Destroying Curse is too terrifying; it's already taken root in my soul. Even the Water of Time, the legendary divine medicine, can't undo it."
Ye Liuli was filled with self-reproach, tears streaming down her face, "It's all my fault! If I hadn't been careless, I wouldn't have given the mastermind this opportunity!"
Su Chen shook his head, "Even without this, the mastermind would still have plotted against me. It's fortunate that it was this time, with you here, Sister Liuli. Otherwise, the mastermind wouldn't have used a curse, risking serious injury to kill me; they would have attacked me directly!"
Ye Liuli said, "How could I be alright? That's the legendary Soul-Destroying Curse... Don't try to comfort me. If you die, I'll take the Ye family's imperial weapon and make all the forces that wield the Soul-Destroying Curse pay with their lives!"
Su Chen smiled bitterly, unsure whether Ye Liuli was showing him concern or cursing him. He didn't want to die.
The Soul-Destroying Curse might be incurable for others, but who was Su Chen?
In his previous life, he had almost reached the pinnacle of the Soul Dao with his divine soul, almost attaining the status of an ancient emperor. Although the Soul-Destroying Curse was terrifying, it wasn't enough to kill him so easily!
The person behind the scenes could have crushed him with a single finger, but they shouldn't have used the Soul-Destroying Curse to kill him!
Su Chen closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and the deathly aura deep within his soul was dispelled by countless runes. In Su Chen's mind, a mysterious power was fighting against the power of the Soul-Destroying Curse. Visibly, Su Chen's aged face was rapidly changing, becoming young again.
The expressions of the crowd gradually turned to surprise and delight.
