Chapter 244: The Undying Underworld Emperor (End) (Gift Value +12)

Faced with this question,
Zhao Wuhen replied, "A universe ultimately has its limits. The tribulations one overcomes to become a ruler are based on talent and combat prowess, not true strength. To become stronger, one must continuously absorb other universes to complete one's own path. There have been rulers who devoured thirty thousand universes, ascended the Immortal Path, and evolved a celestial realm."
"Your talent is astonishing... It would be a great pity to bury it here."
Zhao Wuhen looked at the supreme figure, his heart slightly stirred.
This being was actually able to kill a ruler with supreme potential. If he could be used by him...
Zhao Wuhen's beautiful dream shattered before it even began.
The last sentence echoed in his mind:
"A mere decree dares to obstruct my path?"
"No matter what kind of decree it is, it cannot stop me!"
Su Chen directly annihilated Zhao Wuhen.
He rose from humble beginnings as a common crow to become the first emperor of the Imperial Era, undergoing eight rebirths, lying low for millions of years, assassinating the Demon Lord of Tai Cang, annihilating numerous emperors and sovereigns, and even killing the ancient First Black Hand God. Each of these figures was extraordinary.
A mere Seven Tribulation Emperor wants to subdue him and sign a contract?
What a joke!
"What kind of bullshit decree is this? What makes it think it can stop me? Even if I fail in this life, in the next, and the life after that, one day I will transcend this realm and see what makes those beings outside this realm so capable of suppressing me!"
Su Chen looked up at the boundless barrier. Perhaps if he could cross that barrier, he could transcend this realm.
Su Chen didn't immediately attack.
He wasn't strong enough.
He needed to become even stronger!
Even now, he had already surpassed all emperors and sovereigns throughout history.
Su Chen continued to lie low.
He began to exhaust all means to perfect the Undying Netherworld Scripture and the Nirvana Scripture; he needed to successfully transcend the ninth Nirvana.
Su Chen killed many Supreme Beings.
He also assassinated many Great Emperors.
He lived another ten million years in reverse.
Just as Zhao Wuhen had said.
The sustenance of this universe ultimately brought his strength to its limit; no matter how much he improved, he could not advance further unless he transcended this realm.
One day,
an immeasurable beam of Netherlight filled the entire starry sky, dissolving all Daos and causing countless beings to tremble in horror.
"It's... that mastermind! He hunted down countless Supreme Beings, Great Emperors, and Ancient Emperors, and he's still alive..."
"The First Emperor of the Imperial Era... the Undying Netherworld Emperor!"
An ancient Supreme Being looked at that supreme figure, his eyes filled with admiration, but also with jealousy.
That being was simply too powerful.
They feared that being.
Because even the Supreme Being and the Great Emperor are merely sustenance for that being.
Yet, at this moment, they gazed in that direction with excitement.
Fear transformed into reverence.
“The Undying Underworld Emperor…is he going to attempt transcendence?”
“Transcendence is merely a vague legend; can he truly achieve it?”
“Definitely…the Undying Underworld Emperor can definitely do it! He is the first emperor of the Imperial Era, the most astonishing existence throughout history; he will surely succeed in transcending!”
“.......”
Countless gazes turned towards him.
Su Chen's aura returned to its peak.
This time, he did not hunt down a Supreme Being.
The Great Emperor of the present era looked at that majestic figure, a sense of desolation rising in his heart.
Great Emperor—that was the epitome of invincibility.
But...before that majestic being,
he was nothing more than food.
Su Chen ignored the Great Emperor of the present era.
He chose to attempt the path of transcendence!
With the Undying Nether Blade in hand, this blade had become an ominous and forbidden weapon; even without its wielder, it could easily slay a Great Emperor.
Su Chen cleaved through the Chaos Sea with a single strike, charging towards the borderlands. His aura alone crushed a forbidden zone, annihilating everything.
"Kill!"
Su Chen, filled with boundless killing intent, slashed at the invisible, ineffable, yet undeniably real barrier. The wall that imprisoned an entire world trembled because of this strike, and all the powerful beings in the universe wept with joy.
“That’s… a barrier, a passage. Once it’s broken through, transcendence is certain!”
“The legend of transcendence is true!”
Su Chen’s attack confirmed one thing for all the powerful beings under this starry sky:
The path to transcendence truly exists!
Their belief was actually real!
Su Chen bled, his strike hitting the barrier possessing unparalleled backlash, shattering his Dao. However, Su Chen didn’t stop. He unleashed techniques and divine abilities surpassing all others. These were the most astonishing skills and knowledge possessed by all living beings in this world, all fused by Su Chen to create the most amazing techniques.
He will fight his way out of the universe!
All living beings yearn for him.
Could that figure truly succeed?
A terrifying torrent of punishment descended, seemingly enraged by Su Chen. How dare a being from an ordinary universe offend the majesty of an immortal? The terrifying punishment sought to annihilate Su Chen. Unwilling to accept defeat, Su Chen surged into the Ninth Heaven, shattering the Undying Nether Blade. He still didn't stop, his hands shattered, annihilated by forbidden power, yet he still didn't cease his attack.
That half-foot, that half-body, broke through the barrier. Su Chen's consciousness blurred, gradually sinking into chaos.
He vaguely heard...
From the other side of the world...
A voice came from behind:
"So it was him who broke the order? His skill was truly astonishing, even alarming an immortal in the Void Heaven, but alas... he was still just half a step short."
"Failure means death. Violating the rules set by numerous immortal realms inflicted an incurable backlash."
"Unfortunately, we arrived a step too late."
"It's not Senior Brother Gu's fault. It's all the fault of the Main God Temple. A small team intercepted us, causing us to arrive too late."
"The Main Temple... truly a scourge! This debt will be settled sooner or later when the Heavenly Lord awakens. It's infuriating that they even dare to interfere in the affairs of my Void Sea!"
"..."
In a daze,
Su Chen heard many words.
His consciousness gradually blurred.
He began to fall...
"Failed... Even the strongest being of all time failed?"
"Is it possible that we living beings are forever unable to transcend?"
Hope turned to despair.
Even such a terrifying being failed to take the final step.
"No... Transcendence exists in this world."
"As long as I'm alive... there's still a chance..."
Su Chen's last consciousness vanished.
His body also disappeared without a trace, even after countless millennia of searching by all living beings.
Throughout the ages, the Undying Nether Emperor... gradually became a legend, and eventually disappeared altogether.
"That guy is finally dead... transcended... I, Tianmingzi, will one day surpass that guy and embark on the path of transcendence!"
