Chapter 237: The Undying Underworld Emperor (18)

Su Chen had been suppressed for an unknown period of time.
One day, that unchanging figure opened its eyes.
“Yao Tianxin...is dead.”
An Emperor had fallen.
He wasn't old.
However, his strength had indeed been weakened to the extreme.
He was defeated by a Supreme Being.
The outcome was exactly as Su Chen had predicted.
Every Emperor who attained the Dao possessed unwavering faith and unparalleled talent.
Leaving descendants to continue the bloodline—this was Yao Tianxin's belief.
Unfortunately…
Su Chen sighed softly.
.......
Outside the World
The strongest in the world…throughout history, the symbol of invincibility—the myth of the Emperor had shattered.
The current Emperor, Emperor Tianxin, was assassinated by three Supreme Beings.
All beings believed that Emperor Tianxin could, like the Emperors of the past, slay those Supreme Beings.
Unfortunately, the result was far beyond everyone's expectations.
The so-called invincible emperor was actually nailed to death by the Supreme Being, even his flesh and blood were completely torn apart.
The death of the Heavenly Heart Emperor...lasted for thousands of years without a new emperor succeeding him.
For nearly a million years, there had never been such a prolonged period of dark turmoil.
At this moment, all living beings were like ants, all races were domesticated, and the foundation of the once mighty emperors of a million years was completely exhausted.
Even the true names of many emperors of the past were erased.
A golden age of opportunity has turned to decline.
One day
“A being is proving the Dao of an Emperor!”
“That is an Emperor’s son, the most prized offspring of the former Heavenly Heart Emperor. Once he attains the Dao, he may truly end this era!”
“Oh no! A Supreme Being has attacked! They actually dared to directly enter the tribulation!”
“Hahahaha, so what if these Supreme Beings intervened? They ultimately failed to stop an Emperor from proving the Dao. The Dark Era is about to end, and another Supreme Emperor is suppressing all enemies!”
“Oh no… An Emperor’s Dao-providing attempt was secretly attacked by a Supreme Being, and he is in imminent danger!”
“The Emperor has fallen…”
Su Chen finally released the restriction.
A newly proving Emperor… was directly attacked and killed by a Supreme Being, his blood staining the starry sky.
A peak Emperor, died so easily!
From the ancient era to the Heavenly Heart Emperor, a total of thirty-seven Emperors have passed. All races have prospered, and the Dao lineage has continued unbroken. Even those former Emperors who fell into forbidden zones never completely destroyed their legacy.
Even a Great Emperor who attains Dao still possesses the power to suppress all.
Su Chen understood.
This was the beginning of a new era.
From ancient times to the present, Great Emperors were no longer invincible. Some powerful Supreme Beings, bathed in imperial blood, had regained some of their former strength. For ordinary Great Emperors who attained Dao, they were merely prey.
Now that he had attained Dao,
he would only be a snack.
Su Chen did not choose to attain Dao.
He chose to conceal his tracks.
Su Chen found a desolate mountain.
If he were discovered by a Supreme Being now, he would be nothing more than a human-shaped medicinal herb.
This was almost an unsolvable dead end.
Su Chen began to seek a way to break the deadlock.
However, three thousand years passed. Those former Supreme Beings began cultivating powerful individuals, and countless geniuses were merely food.
Even... some powerful individuals sealed by the Heavenly Heart Emperor were unearthed, torn apart by the Supreme Beings, and transformed into potent nourishment.
Chaos and disorder permeated every corner of the universe.
One day,
Su Chen arrived at the foot of a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, all living beings had been slaughtered by a passing cultivator who sought to forge a magical artifact.
That cultivator was weak... Su Chen could have killed him a thousand times over with a single thought.
Yet Su Chen didn't act.
At the foot of the mountain,
a child stood, staring at the corpses, his eyes filled with overwhelming killing intent.
"You...want revenge?"
Su Chen looked at the child.
The child remained silent, only staring intently at Su Chen.
The hatred in his eyes revealed his burning desire and determination for revenge.
"You are cautious, but if I wanted to kill you, it would only take a single thought."
Su Chen flicked his sleeve, and before the child's astonished gaze, the distant mountains and rivers turned to ashes.
"Immortal...please, Immortal, take me as your disciple!"
The child knelt down with a thud, kowtowing until his head bled.
He wanted to possess the power to take revenge.
Su Chen said calmly, "I will not accept you as my disciple."
The hope that had just risen in the child's eyes turned to despair again.
Su Chen continued, "However, I will give you a cultivation technique. If you master it, perhaps you can avenge your enemies."
Su Chen wrote down a cultivation technique.
"Cultivating this technique may lead to your death."
These were Su Chen's last words.
He vanished, appearing and disappearing without a trace, like a true immortal.
The child carefully picked up the technique, his fingers hesitant, noting the large characters on it.
He murmured cautiously,
"Spirit Communication Technique"
...
That's right, what Su Chen gave the child was the Spirit Communication Technique, the technique left behind by the Spirit King.
The Spirit King was also the Spirit God King.
The Spirit God King had once revived, contending with the geniuses of the universe, and even many supreme beings, before being killed.
This was not even the Spirit God King's complete form.
Su Chen suddenly realized
Perhaps this ancient being could continuously reappear,
helping him weaken those supreme beings.
The Spirit Communication Technique would give the child hope for revenge.
And Su Chen's last words to him
were a choice.
Under Su Chen's watchful eye,
the child ultimately chose to cultivate the Spirit Communication Technique, reaching the Profound Realm after two hundred years, and slaying his enemy.
After slaying his enemy,
he noticed the technique's flaw.
Perhaps he would become a different person.
But he did not choose to dissipate his cultivation and perish.
At the final moment,
the middle-aged man bowed to the heavens,
"Thank you, Immortal, for giving me the opportunity to kill my enemy... Thank you, Immortal..."
For a long time, the middle-aged man remained silent.
When he looked up again,
his eyes were utterly cold.
"The aptitude of this body... is truly terrible."
Su Chen glanced at him from afar.
He knew that the middle-aged man of today was no longer just a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man of today was none other than the Shaman King!
Although he didn't know the Shaman King's origins,
Su Chen knew.
This was definitely an ancient and mysterious being, capable of living again and again even with all traces erased.
His talent was astonishing.
Mere aptitude couldn't hold him back.
Su Chen continued to conceal his tracks.
He vanished from the world.
The Shaman King rose to power. This ancient being possessed astonishing talent and numerous methods. Even with only a mortal body, he was still no less powerful than those with divine or holy bodies.
Su Chen silently observed this cunning old fox.
Watching him rise step by step, ruthlessly slaughtering powerful figures, acquiring resources, and turning all living beings into nourishment, this being was no less threatening than a Supreme Being.
But now there were too many Supreme Beings.
If the Spirit King wanted to achieve enlightenment, he would inevitably have to confront a Supreme Being.
Time flew by.
Su Chen fell into a deep sleep.
In the world, a terrifying figure stood proudly above the nine heavens, striking down a Supreme Being.
Seven thousand years had passed.
Another being was about to achieve enlightenment!
A faint hope ignited in the hearts of all living beings.
Could that supreme being truly achieve enlightenment?
The world was swallowed up, and the beings on countless stars turned to ashes.
That being about to achieve enlightenment was even more ferocious and terrifying than some Supreme Beings.
Some Supreme Beings were enraged.
Who dared to steal their food?
And so brutally!
