Chapter 239: The Undying Underworld Emperor (Part 20)

That was the aura of a Great Emperor.
Or perhaps... that was the aura of the pinnacle of the Imperial Path.
In the mere instant of attaining the Dao,
he slew a flawless Supreme.
That Supreme, after bathing in the blood of the Emperor, even in his ordinary state, was enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with an ordinary Great Emperor, and had reaped countless lives, always maintaining his peak.
Now, with just one strike, he was slain!
This is the attainment of the Dao through the Ninefold Emperor Tribulation.
Throughout history,
even in the rise and fall of an era, such an existence might not necessarily be born.
This one strike
ushered in a new era.
Su Chen did not stop.
A Supreme who instantly revived, regaining his former supreme Emperor-level combat power, roared, the peerless ancient Emperor, reigning supreme over the starry sky, charging towards Su Chen.
"Commendable courage!"
The Imperial Path reigns supreme over the starry sky; at this moment, in the eyes of all living beings, there was only one figure.
That once incomparable Supreme appeared so insignificant before that figure.
How can the light of a firefly rival the brilliance of the moon?
Those supreme beings, the former absolute powerhouses, at this moment, are but that firefly's light.
Su Chen's Dao crushes everything.
Even between Emperors, an insurmountable chasm still exists!
To kill a Supreme Being no weaker than an ordinary Great Emperor, Su Chen only used two moves.
One move to crush him, one move to kill him.
Those Supreme Beings who had reigned supreme for hundreds of thousands of years finally felt fear.
Killing Emperors is like ants.
Such an existence is truly terrifying...
"What a fool...daring to challenge someone who has survived the Ninefold Emperor Tribulation!"
Some Supreme Beings who immediately retreated to their forbidden zones watched the scenes unfolding in the starry sky. Supreme Beings were like ants, and even ordinary Great Emperor-level combat power was merely a larger ant.
Some of the oldest among them had eyes filled with despair.
"Another Supreme Being has appeared... Could that ancient battle be repeated?"
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, no fewer than twenty Supreme Beings had been slain by Su Chen. The entire universe, countless star fields, turned blood red that day, blood flowing through billions of star fields, a magnificent spectacle. Even in the most distant star fields, blood rained down.
Su Chen watched as the Supreme Beings scattered and retreated back to their forbidden zones. He didn't immediately slaughter them all.
The corpses of twenty-three Supreme Beings were enough for him to cultivate for a long time.
As the Supreme Beings of the forbidden zones returned to their respective zones,
Nirvana brought immortality, eternal life.
In this life, Su Chen proclaimed himself the Undying Nether Emperor.
He proclaimed the end of the Dark Ages and the arrival of the Imperial Era.
All living beings called upon the Undying Nether Emperor, building ancient statues in countless star fields, praying and worshipping the first emperor who ended the Dark Ages.
Cultivation became easier throughout the world.
Su Chen established the Undying Divine Court, ruling over all living beings.
In less than ten thousand years, powerful figures emerged in great numbers, and countless races flourished.
Su Chen, residing in the Undying Divine Court, spent these ten thousand years refining the corpses of the supreme beings hunted in that battle. The Dao and Laws of the ancient emperors of yesteryear became nourishment for Su Chen.
"Someone wants to challenge me?"
Ten thousand years later, Su Chen opened his eyes. A ray of light from his opening and closing pupils shattered countless spaces, chaotic clouds surged, emperors and sovereigns were revered, he was the master of heaven and earth!
Outside the Undying Divine Court
Standed proudly, an unparalleled figure.
This was a flawless Great Emperor.
In one era, two Great Emperors emerged, shattering the previous stalemate of emperors never meeting.
"So that's how it is..."
Su Chen understood. He had killed far too many Supreme Beings. From the beginning to the end of the Dark Era, over forty Supreme Beings perished in a mere ten thousand years. Half of the Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zones had fallen. Although Su Chen had refined the corpses of some Supreme Beings, a vast amount of energy still nourished the world. The Forbidden Zones that Su Chen had pacified returned to the universe, further perfecting its rules.
A second Great Emperor appeared in the world.
However... this Great Emperor seemed somewhat arrogant.
Su Chen's expression was strange.
All the powerful figures of the Undying Divine Court appeared, only to be defeated by the new Great Emperor.
The young Great Emperor looked down upon the Undying Divine Court, his imperial voice resounding across numerous star fields.
"Undying Nether Emperor, I know you are still alive!"
"Come out and fight!"
His imperial might covered the starry sky.
A rift opened in the universe, and a Netherworld Blade swept across thousands of star fields, traversing billions of light-years.
Within that shattered starry sky, imperial blood permeated, staining the heavens.
The heavens wailed.
A Great Emperor had actually died just like that.
Su Chen casually grabbed the fresh corpse of a Great Emperor.
He had barely finished digesting the corpse of a Supreme Being when another fresh Great Emperor delivered himself to his doorstep.
Truly, he understood the crow's heart perfectly.
This was a Great Emperor who had survived three tribulations.
An ordinary Great Emperor dared to directly attack him.
Su Chen could only say his courage was commendable.
After his eighth Nirvana, Su Chen discovered that the energy required for a successful ninth Nirvana was simply too immense.
Twenty-odd Supreme Beings had only accumulated about one-tenth of the energy.
While refining another Great Emperor, Su Chen relaxed his suppression of the heavens and earth.
Awaiting the birth of a new Emperor.
In the past, the Myriad Laws Imperial Court revealed its full potential amidst darkness and turmoil.
When Su Chen arrived at the Myriad Laws Imperial Court,
the Myriad Laws Imperial Court had now become a small sect.
The strongest among them was only at the Void Realm.
“Young master, the Myriad Laws Sect is ahead. To join, you must undergo an aptitude test,”
a young disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect blocked Su Chen's path.
Su Chen shook his head.
“I’m not here to join the Myriad Laws Sect.”
“I’m here to make a deal.”
The young disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect was about to ask what kind of deal.
He blinked.
The figure of the young man in the black robe was nowhere to be seen.
“Strange… was this an illusion?”
The young disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect felt that he had just seen someone.
But no matter how hard he tried,
he couldn’t recall the person’s exact appearance.
After a moment,
“Strange, what am I doing here?”
The disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect was very puzzled.
…
Su Chen’s current strength was too great.
Those weaker beings didn't even have the right to remember him.
He had become a taboo.
At this moment,
the current sect leader of the Myriad Laws Sect was chatting and laughing with the young man.
He didn't know who the young man was.
But in his mind, the image of a friend who had come from afar automatically appeared.
The young man was none other than Su Chen.
"Thinking back to those days... my Myriad Laws Sect was once a supreme, emperor-level lineage, a top-tier power. Unfortunately, with the arrival of the Dark Ages, our ancestors fought and died in battle to protect our lineage. Amidst endless turmoil, only this one branch remained... Sadly, the techniques, supernatural powers, and resources left behind by the Imperial Court were all plundered by other forces."
The old sect leader, tears welling in his eyes, spoke of past glory: "The descendants are incompetent, unable to restore the Imperial Court's former supreme majesty. I have failed my ancestors..."
Su Chen said, "You have done very well. I believe our ancestors will not blame you."
The old sect leader smiled.
