Chapter 252: Transcendence in This Lifetime (Part 8)

Su Chen looked at the dejected Chaotic Body.
In the struggle for the Great Dao, it was said that the Chaotic Body suppressed all other laws.
However, Su Chen had suppressed the Chaotic Body with his own myriad Daos.
The Chaotic Body had never been defeated.
But he lost his first battle.
Su Chen did not kill the Chaotic Body.
The Chaotic Body was also surprised that Su Chen hadn't killed him.
"I've lost, why didn't you kill me?"
He didn't sense any killing intent from the immortal spirit opposite him.
Su Chen said calmly, "Killing you would make this era too boring."
Of the only two Chaotic Bodies in history, Su Chen couldn't bear to kill him. Having witnessed the Chaotic Body's power, his intention to kill it for research had changed to subduing it.
After all, subduing it would also allow for research.
A living Chaotic Body was better than a dead one.
"My name is Qin Wujie,"
the Chaotic Body spoke.
His fighting spirit hadn't faded; on the contrary, it had intensified!
"Di Chen!"
Su Chen spoke, uttering the name of this life.
The two most remarkable figures of this era acknowledged each other at this moment.
"Di Chen, I will challenge you again."
Qin Wujie left, and Su Chen didn't stop him, letting him go.
He knew Qin Wujie would continue to find him.
If he could defeat Qin Wujie once, he would defeat him a second time...
"Truly worthy of being the number one genius of all time, even the Chaos Body was suppressed!"
Seeing this battle, all beings concluded that Su Chen had ultimately won; even the Chaos Body was ashamed of its inferiority.
At this moment, in their eyes...
Su Chen had become the greatest genius of all time.
No one could rival him.
Su Chen had dealt with the Chaotic Body.
His gaze then turned to Ning Changqing.
"You want to kill me?"
Ning Changqing spoke calmly.
The Chaotic Body had been defeated by that terrifying immortal spirit.
This was somewhat beyond Ning Changqing's expectations.
The key was that the immortal spirit hadn't killed the Chaotic Body; instead, it had let him go.
This was also somewhat beyond Ning Changqing's control.
However, it wasn't a big problem.
He still had a trump card; he wouldn't die!
Su Chen, seeing Ning Changqing so calm, even striking a pose—the invincible demeanor of a reclusive powerhouse—was quite astonished.
"This guy... seems quite the show-off."
Su Chen thought.
This guy was even more of a show-off than him.
Su Chen decided to see what kind of background this guy had to be so good at putting on airs.
Just as Su Chen was about to make his move...
A figure clad in golden armor stepped out from the Imperial City.
This was a Quasi-Emperor level expert. Although his blood and energy were waning, he was still a Quasi-Emperor, his aura vast and overwhelming, his power pressing down on the starry sky. He held a decree, and with its appearance, all the beings in the Imperial City trembled.
It was a decree from a Great Emperor, containing the aura of the highest Dao!
Behind the golden-armored Quasi-Emperor was a woman of unparalleled beauty, dressed in a long black dress, her feet treading on the void, like a pearl in the night sky. She smiled brightly at Ning Changqing.
"Thank you, Young Master Ning, for saving my life."
The gazes of the Imperial City's experts all fell upon the woman.
A clamor erupted.
That woman...
"She's actually the daughter of the Eternal Night Emperor..."
"Unexpectedly, behind Ning Changqing stands an imperial princess... no, this is the most beloved imperial princess of the Eternal Night Emperor! That means Ning Changqing has a current emperor behind him. No wonder he's so arrogant and acts so recklessly!"
"..."
The many major sects and lineages in the Imperial City were shocked.
Ning Changqing being associated with an emperor-level powerhouse... that's going to be difficult.
Ning Changqing nodded slightly to the woman.
His desire to capture the immortal spirit alive was naturally a backup plan.
After all... he was the most ancient Celestial Venerable who once destroyed the Mythical Era, rising from humble beginnings, and naturally extremely cautious.
Although his attempt to capture the immortal spirit alive to research the secrets of transcendence failed, it wasn't a major problem.
Ning Changqing turned around and grinned at Su Chen.
"Too bad, you can't kill me."
At this moment, the golden-armored general, holding the imperial edict, spoke.
"Emperor Chen of the Myriad Laws Imperial Sect!"
"Ning Changqing has rendered meritorious service in rescuing the Imperial Daughter, and has shown great kindness to my Eternal Night Imperial Palace."
"Let's cease hostilities here. Retreat immediately, and His Majesty will pardon your crimes of disturbing the capital and disrespect."
Su Chen's expression was strange.
Was that emperor lying through his teeth?
Hiss!
Truly worthy of being the Chosen One.
The general looked down at Su Chen.
His expression suddenly turned astonished.
"A mere imperial edict is enough to make me bow down?"
Su Chen reached out and directly tore apart the overwhelming imperial might, shattering the imperial edict.
"You actually dare to offend the majesty of the Eternal Night Emperor?"
The general was enraged.
Su Chen not only showed no respect, but also directly tore up the Emperor's decree!
In this era, the Emperor is not unique.
But there are only two or three Emperors in a single era. The Emperor remains the supreme powerhouse of this starry sky, the ruler of heaven and earth!
The people of the Imperial City were terrified. They didn't know how many shocking reversals this was already.
But they knew one thing:
An Emperor's decree had actually been torn up outside the Imperial City...
This was an insult to imperial authority!
Ning Changqing was also astonished.
Su Chen had actually torn up the Emperor's decree.
This was a blatant provocation against an Emperor.
Even if the Emperor couldn't kill Su Chen, he could suppress him until his lifespan was nearing its end.
"Ignorance, or stupidity?"
Ning Changqing shook his head.
He had wanted to wait until he cultivated to the Great Saint realm before suppressing the Immortal Spirit.
Now... it seemed that opportunity was gone.
Although many Emperors had died at his hands.
However, it wasn't that the Great Emperor was weak. An Emperor, in any era, would undoubtedly be a top-tier powerhouse.
The Eternal Night Emperor's general directly revived a quasi-Emperor weapon.
Su Chen tore apart the Great Emperor's decree; for a powerful figure like him who worshipped the Eternal Night Emperor, this was an unforgivable sin.
A quasi-Emperor weapon, a battle halberd, revived in the hands of a quasi-Emperor level expert. Stained with mottled blood, as a general under the Eternal Night Emperor, it had accompanied him in his conquests, stained with the blood of countless powerful figures, already a terrifying weapon. Now, it directly attacked Su Chen.
"Ridiculous!"
Su Chen reached out a hand, directly grasping the terrifying battle halberd. The power of all laws converged into lightning, raging within the halberd.
He actually intended to obliterate the god within a quasi-Emperor weapon!
The void trembled, seemingly emitting a mournful cry.
The quasi-Emperor-level weapon vanished instantly in Su Chen's hand.
This scene
directly stunned everyone.
"Are you threatening me?"
Su Chen raised his head.
His eyes gleamed with the most terrifying aura.
At this moment,
the Eternal Night Emperor's general trembled.
He...actually felt fear...
This feeling...he had only felt it with the Eternal Night Emperor, no, it was even more terrifying than what he had felt with the Eternal Night Emperor!
Like drowning, unable to breathe.
A quasi-Emperor-level powerhouse, experienced in countless battles,
at this moment, his mind went blank.
Su Chen's attack was actually aimed at killing an Emperor-level general!
