Chapter 260: Transcendence in This Lifetime (Sixteen)

Ning Changqing was inwardly horrified.
The deeper he delved into the Undying Nether Emperor's growth,
the more astonished he became.
Throughout history,
this was unique.
Ning Changqing conceived the idea of ​​refining that terrifying corpse.
Just as Ning Changqing was about to act,
he stopped.
He didn't turn around, but his voice was incredibly deep.
"Di Chen!"
Although the aura was very concealed,
Ning Changqing guessed who it was.
Behind Ning Changqing, an unparalleled figure appeared.
It was Su Chen.
"Ning Changqing, it seems we've met again."
A smile appeared on Su Chen's face.
He was 'delighted'.
Ning Changqing was 'surprised'.
This was a pleasant surprise.
Ning Changqing was very puzzled.
He had clearly set up a terrifying array outside the Undying Nether Emperor's ruins.
Why hadn't he received any news?
"Did you break the formation I set up?"
Ning Changqing tried to find the third figure.
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he had to confirm one thing.
There was no third person here, only him and Su Chen.
Su Chen didn't immediately attack Ning Changqing.
He seemed to see an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time, and smiled faintly, "Just a little knowledgeable about formations."
Ning Changqing's face turned ugly.
He didn't flee immediately, but continued to ask, "How were you able to find this place?"
"I was absolutely certain, wasn't I?"
Su Chen's expression was calm.
Ning Changqing decisively activated the Time Wheel.
Su Chen's voice echoed throughout the world.
"Didn't you already have the answer in your heart?"
Ning Changqing's hair stood on end, feeling a great terror between life and death.
The entire small world trembled, as if an ancient being was about to awaken.
Under Ning Changqing's incredulous gaze...
The indestructible Nether Blade cleaved through space and time, piercing Ning Changqing's body and tearing apart his soul.
The turn of events was far too sudden.
Even with the Time Wheel, one of the nine innate treasures, Ning Changqing couldn't reverse his injuries at this moment; even time itself was severed.
That figure, shattering the Netherworld and reversing the flow of time, stood before Ning Changqing.
Ning Changqing gave a bitter laugh.
"Are you Di Chen, or the Undying Nether Emperor?"
He had a guess, but it was too late.
Su Chen didn't deny Ning Changqing's guess, only saying calmly, "Ning Changqing, you shouldn't have touched the taboo you shouldn't have."
Su Chen didn't want to kill Ning Changqing so quickly.
Unfortunately, Ning Changqing had come into contact with the Undying Nether Emperor.
This was his taboo.
"What a Raven Emperor! What a Undying Nether Emperor! What a Di Chen!"
Ning Changqing laughed, his soul already torn apart by the Undying Nether Blade.
"I, Ning Changqing, underestimated the heroes of the world. You boasted of being a reincarnation of a Celestial Venerable... possessing one of the nine innate treasures, you were destined for transcendence..."
"Unexpectedly, you've become a pawn, your many treasures falling into someone else's scheme."
Ning Changqing laughed until tears of blood streamed from his eyes: "I, Ning Changqing, should have reached the pinnacle! Why did a monster like you appear in this era... With me, Ning Changqing, why must there be an Undying Nether Emperor like you? How unwilling I am, how unwilling I am!"
He still wanted to use the Wheel of Time to fight for a last chance of survival.
Unfortunately, Su Chen had no intention of stopping him.
The Undying Nether Blade unleashed its most terrifying aura. This weapon, once stained with the blood of countless emperors and sovereigns, had undergone a transformation. Having accompanied the Undying Nether Emperor on his journey to transcendence, though ultimately unsuccessful, it was still hailed as the greatest weapon of all time. Even shattered, it was enough to slay an ordinary Great Emperor.
Ning Changqing, currently only at the Great Saint realm, was instantly annihilated.
Su Chen acted, using the Undying Nether Blade to intercept the Time Wheel, preventing its escape.
“Submit to me, or I will shatter you. You should know the consequences.”
Su Chen brandished the Undying Nether Blade in his hand. Even in its smallest fragment, it possessed an unparalleled ferocity, enough to shatter the Time Wheel.
The Time Wheel wailed. Having just lost its master, it was now blocked by its master's enemy, who sought to seize it.
"You should also know my origins. I'm no less capable than Ning Changqing, perhaps even stronger."
"Only I can lead you out of this realm!"
Su Chen continued.
His gaze was icy.
If the Time Wheel refused again, he would shatter it without hesitation. He'd rather destroy a primordial treasure than let it nurture another great enemy.
As if sensing Su Chen's killing intent, this time the Time Wheel didn't struggle and directly entered Su Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.
Streams of information allowed Su Chen to understand the Time Wheel's wondrous uses.
The Time Wheel could transport its host through time and space.
It could reach a point in the host's past or future.
It could alter the past or future.
However, this alteration came at a price.
Ning Changqing wanted to go back in time to kill Su Chen; that price was definitely unbearable for him.
But killing an ordinary person was a price Ning Changqing could afford.
Afterwards, everything will follow its natural course, returning to the present and correcting time.
Time and again, Ning Changqing escaped, using the Time Wheel to travel back in time. He didn't interfere with others, only altering his own future.
As for seeing the future... Ning Changqing couldn't afford the price. Every thought would split into countless future outcomes.
The Time Wheel was Ning Changqing's greatest trump card.
Countless opportunities.
It caused Ning Changqing to lose the caution he once possessed as he grew from weakness to supremacy.
Perhaps Ning Changqing's path to becoming a Great Emperor would be a formidable enemy for Su Chen, but alas... he was too arrogant.
Su Chen watched as Ning Changqing's soul dissipated.
Killing Ning Changqing yielded riches.
Not only did he possess the Time Wheel, but also the remaining three-quarters of the Book of Death fragments.
Now Su Chen possessed the complete Book of Death.
Plus the Divine Cicada.
Of the nine innate treasures, three had fallen into Su Chen's hands.
Su Chen felt a pang of regret. Ning Changqing, as a survivor of the Mythical Era, knew far too many secrets.
This treasure-hunting rat knew things he shouldn't have.
Su Chen had no choice but to kill him.
After slaying Ning Changqing, the Undying Nether Blade exhausted its last energy and fell silent.
Su Chen looked at his former life's corpse.
He planned to use the corpse to reforge the Undying Nether Blade.
........
The starry sky trembled.
All martial artists, regardless of race, felt a terrifying aura at this moment, making them want to worship.
"All laws revere him, the potential of a Heavenly Emperor."
"Someone is becoming an Emperor!"
"That's... the aura of the immortal spirit of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect. Is he about to undergo the Emperor Tribulation and become an Emperor?"
"What a terrifying Emperor Tribulation aura... even more terrifying than the aura of the current Great Emperor!"
"......"
Deep within the Chaos Sea
Qin Wujie opened his eyes and looked towards the other shore.
"Someone is undergoing the Emperor Tribulation. It's that guy Di Chen's aura. He's about to become an Emperor!"
The Formless Sword Emperor and the Daylight Emperor also raised their heads at this moment, looking in the direction of the Emperor Tribulation.
That was... the Ninefold Emperor Tribulation!
And the one who attracted the Ninefold Emperor Tribulation was none other than Su Chen, who had left the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect!
