Chapter 216: Imperial Decree Thirty-Two (Do not use special gifts, King of Gifts +3)

Su Chen arrived at the battlefield between the two domains, a place teeming with countless powerful figures locked in a fierce battle. For tens of thousands of years, the two domains had been locked in a deep-seated hatred.
Su Chen strolled leisurely across the battlefield.
"You're human? A being from the Azure Netherworld Domain, die!"
A powerful figure from the Profound Netherworld Demon Domain launched a devastating attack on Su Chen without hesitation.
The powerful attack struck Su Chen, creating violent shockwaves. Amidst the thick dust and smoke, the figure strolling leisurely remained completely unmoved, without a single scratch.
The powerful figure from the Profound Netherworld Demon Domain was utterly horrified by this sight.
His full-force attack was enough to draw blood from a Saint King, yet it left that handsome figure completely unharmed, not even a tear in his clothes.
He tried to escape, but in an instant, his body exploded like fireworks.
This alarmed many powerful figures from the Profound Netherworld Demon Domain, but without exception, none of them even had the chance to approach that figure; they all perished.
The figure approached the Demon Gate, and despite the countless powerful figures and formations within, it couldn't stop him.
"Could it be a Quasi-Emperor from the Azure Netherworld Domain?"
The powerful figures from the Profound Netherworld Demon Domain were terrified.
That figure was simply too powerful, even stronger than a Great Sage.
It was definitely a Quasi-Emperor!
Deep within the Demon Abyss of the Profound Netherworld Demon Domain, an unparalleled aura gradually rose.
The Azure Netherworld Domain was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of an unknown Quasi-Emperor, but the Profound Netherworld Demon Domain still managed to awaken an ancestor to contend with the Quasi-Emperor.
However,
the Azure Netherworld Domain was utterly bewildered.
The number of Quasi-Emperors in the Azure Netherworld Domain could be counted on one hand.
"A quasi-Emperor has come to the Xuanming Demon Realm? Who is this quasi-Emperor? He's not from our Qingming Dao Domain!"
"However, this quasi-Emperor seems to be hostile to the Xuanming Demon Realm. Should we offer our assistance to prevent that fellow Daoist from falling into the Xuanming Demon Realm's trap and being besieged?"
"Bring the imperial weapons and let's take them down! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"..."
On Mount Luodi
A beautiful figure looked up into the distance. Beside her lay a small golden holy dragon.
"Mountain Lord, aren't you going? Aren't you afraid those guys from the Qingming Dao Domain will be wiped out by that one from the Xuanming Demon Realm?"
The golden holy dragon asked, puzzled.
Nangong Yunshu smiled and said, "No... This time, the Xuanming Demon Realm has offended that person, they're probably in trouble. With that person around, those little guys from the Qingming Dao Realm will be fine."
Long Aotian was puzzled, but it quickly realized something... its voice trembling with disbelief, "Could it be... that person?"
Seeing Nangong Yunshu nod slightly, Long Aotian silently mourned for the Xuanming Demon Realm.
The Xuanming Demon Realm's power was something even a powerful figure like the Mountain Lord feared.
But... at this moment, they encountered the most unapproachable being!
Within the Xuanming Demon Realm
A terrifying aura tore through the void.
It directly attacked Su Chen.
Clearly, this person mistook Su Chen for a Quasi-Emperor from the Qingming Dao Realm and wanted to kill him before Qingming Dao Realm reinforcements arrived.
A good idea.
Unfortunately, Su Chen was not a Quasi-Emperor.
"This is..."
Upon recognizing the figure, the quasi-emperor of the Xuanming Dao Domain regretted his actions, his very soul trembling as if a subject were before a king.
"Emperor..."
He was dead.
The price for a subject to offend his monarch is death.
The powerful figures of the Xuanming Demon Realm guarding the Demon Pass trembled at this sight.
A quasi-Emperor, dead just like that!
The quasi-Emperors of the Qingming Dao Realm who had come to reinforce him, upon seeing the figure clearly, were also filled with fear.
“Greetings, Great Emperor!”
The Great Emperor of this era has arrived!
The powerful figures of the Xuanming Demon Realm were struck dumb, only one thought remaining:
“It’s over!”
Deep within the Xuanming Demon Abyss, ancient beings were gradually awakening.
Having one of their pillars killed, they should have been furious, but at this moment, they dared not feel anger or hatred.
This Great Emperor… was no merciful one; even the Underworld had submitted to him, let alone their Xuanming Demon Abyss?
Su Chen didn't make things difficult for the Xuanming Demon Realm.
He was a good person.
Su Chen had been studying the Emperor Scriptures in the Xuanming Demon Abyss and possessed a demonic rune left behind by an ancient supreme demon emperor of the Xuanming Demon Abyss.
A thousand years later, Su Chen left the Xuanming Demon Abyss and arrived at Luodi Mountain.
The Qingming Dao Domain hadn't changed much.
The Nangong family, the Lin family, the Zixiao Dao Sect, and Luodi Mountain still existed.
Within Luodi Mountain,
Su Chen and Nangong Yunshu had discussed the Dao for a hundred years. Nangong Yunshu was quite surprised that a contemporary Great Emperor who had achieved immortality possessed such profound insights into destruction and life.
“Great Emperor, do you need this demonic rune?”
Faced with Su Chen's offer, Nangong Yunshu thought for a moment and agreed.
Su Chen exchanged two Emperor Scriptures for a Great Emperor's hundred-year Dao discussion at Luodi Mountain. The disciples and elders of Luodi Mountain would all benefit immensely. This deal wasn't a loss for Luodi Mountain.
Su Chen left Mount Luodi, gazing at the sun suspended above the Azure Netherworld Domain, its light boundless.
Even a long-lived being is ultimately only long-lived... not immortal.
Su Chen returned to the Ancient Tomb Forbidden Zone. The Forbidden Zone still existed. Su Chen had explored it for three hundred years, but found no trace of the Bronze Immortal Palace. However, he had alerted two Emperor Corpses, leading to a series of battles. Su Chen then left the Forbidden Zone.
"This place... perhaps holds true terror!"
Su Chen felt lingering fear. At the last moment, he sensed an extremely terrifying power that pierced through time. Had he not been fast enough, he would have been severely injured, if not killed.
Great Emperors are invincible in this universe.
However, within the universe, there are still many supreme powerhouses, or small universes established in distant eras. Even a Great Emperor entering such a universe would only possess the combat power of a Supreme Being!
Su Chen felt a pang of regret.
He then arrived at the Primordial Dao Domain.
Inside the Yaochi Sacred Land
The Yaochi Holy Master looked at Su Chen with a resentful expression.
Four thousand years after attaining Dao, this was Su Chen's first visit to the Yaochi Sacred Land.
The Yaochi Holy Master, also known as Chi Yao, had not chosen to return to the Immortal Tree, but instead chose to remain in this world.
She had experienced so much beauty and witnessed the brilliance of this great era.
She had developed her own will!
Su Chen left the Yaochi Sacred Land with the Yaochi Holy Master.
The next day
The elders of the Yaochi Sacred Land suddenly discovered a catastrophic event.
"The Holy Master...the Holy Master is gone!"
"It's over, the Holy Master eloped with the Great Emperor!"
The Yaochi Sacred Land was shaken.
At this moment, Su Chen, accompanied by the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, embarked on a journey to explore the starry sky, witnessing the rise and fall of civilizations, the changing of eras, and the competition among countless geniuses who touched upon the Great Dao, only to despairingly seal themselves off for the next great era.
One day, Su Chen received news from the Ye family:
Ye Liuli... has awakened!
PS: After clearing out one gift king, this cat is too tired... I'll rest for two days before clearing out the next one.
