Chapter 269: Transcendence in This Lifetime (Twenty-Five)

The Emperor's Universe
Since the Emperor's disappearance, he has never been seen again.
This disappearance lasted for millions of years. Even though Emperor Chan and Chi Yao searched the entire universe, they found no trace of Su Chen.
However, the two did not give up.
The universe was thriving with powerful beings.
As time passed, great emperors were born, and some great emperors even abdicated, transforming their realms into forbidden zones.
Over the millions of years, Emperor Chan and Chi Yao became the greatest terrors in the world, possessing astonishing talent, creating immortality techniques, and living life after life.
Their strength was also approaching that of a Second Tribulation Ruler.
They still could not leave this realm.
The entire universe was sealed by Su Chen.
They could not break the seal.
"Master, Chan'er believes you are still alive!"
Emperor Chan's attempt to transcend failed once again.
She looked at the seemingly non-existent boundless space.
She still believed that Su Chen was alive.
The ruler of that Imperial Court could not possibly be dead.
Chi Yao failed once again in her attempt to transcend.
“Soon… the Longevity Method is about to enter its next stage. Nourishing myself with the wisdom of all living beings will surely allow me to advance further.”
“Brother…Chi Yao will definitely find you!”
Chi Yao vowed in her heart!
However, at this very moment,
both Di Chan and Chi Yao…
they both looked in one direction.
That was the Imperial Court where the former Emperor once resided. Even after millions of years, it remained the most powerful force in the universe, possessing countless resources.
There, however, an incomparably terrifying aura swept across the universe.
“I, Qin Wujie, have finally returned!”
After millions of years, Qin Wujie's injuries had finally healed. He possessed the elixir of immortality, and even his comprehension of the Chaos Body's origin had advanced his cultivation further.
He broke through to the Second Tribulation Ruler realm first.
"Strange, why can't I find any trace of Di Chen?"
Qin Wujie searched the entire universe but couldn't find any trace of Su Chen. He now felt stronger than ever before and was certain he could defeat Su Chen.
Finally, Qin Wujie encountered Di Chan and Chi Yao.
From the two of them, he learned that Su Chen had never appeared again.
"That guy must have transcended!"
"But I don't know what happened, he can't come back. Only I, Qin Wujie, can!"
Qin Wujie had once accompanied Su Chen to another world.
He knew many secrets.
He also believed that Su Chen was not dead.
Qin Wujie attempted to transcend, and after the great battle, finally broke through Su Chen's blockade.
"It seems transcendence isn't so difficult after all."
Qin Wujie pondered to himself.
He felt very relaxed.
It must be because he's too powerful.
Qin Wujie was unaware of the rules of the Void Sea.
When a world has a transcendent being,
the beings of that world can leave their original world and roam the Void Sea.
However,
no matter how much they cultivate, the beings of that world can never surpass the one who has mastered the 'Heart' of the universe.
Unless... he too has mastered the 'Heart' of the universe.
After transcending, Qin Wujie discovered a void.
He began searching for Su Chen's traces and the remains of other beings.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
Perhaps a hundred thousand years, perhaps more.
He finally found traces of a great battle.
"Di Chen, it must be that guy Di Chen!"
Qin Wujie was overjoyed.
He decided he had to save his sworn brother from this dire situation.
........
Su Chen and Wang Potian engaged in a fierce battle.
This was an opponent of terrifying power.
Su Chen and Wang Potian had been locked in a stalemate for millions of years, each gaining an advantage and sustaining injuries.
“A mere ruler who has just entered the fourth tribulation can actually fight me to this extent, even injuring me.”
“The Emperor Tribulation you have overcome is far more than seven levels.”
Wang Potian was astonished by Su Chen's strength.
Extraordinarily impressive.
Unfortunately, he was still going to die!
Su Chen remained silent.
The outcome between them was still uncertain.
“Emperor Chen, so you were here!”
An unknown number of years later.
A third voice echoed in this space.
“This is the trump card you were waiting for? The strongest physique born from a cosmic destiny?”
Wang Potian chuckled disdainfully.
"When the Transmigrators' Alliance takes action, no matter who you are, you'd better behave!"
Qin Wujie finally found Su Chen.
He was overjoyed.
Alone, he lost all sense of time.
"Such arrogance!"
Qin Wujie looked.
Someone was actually trying to kill Su Chen.
Qin Wujie coldly replied, "I, Qin Wujie, care about your damn Transmigrators' Alliance!"
"Only I can defeat Di Chen with my own hands!"
Qin Wujie made his move.
He was going to kill Wang Potian.
To prove his current strength.
Su Chen was shocked.
He hadn't expected that Qin Wujie would be the one to confront him.
Qin Wujie actually had such courage.
Although Qin Wujie's cultivation had reached the Second Tribulation Ruler level,
Wang Potian was a Fifth Tribulation Ruler.
"Hiss..."
With one move,
Qin Wujie realized that the powerful figure who had been able to hold off Su Chen for so long seemed to possess some strength.
Two moves
Before Qin Wujie could even react, he was shattered, his chaotic body reduced to a mere fragment of his primordial spirit.
Three moves
The third move was about to strike.
Qin Wujie cried out,
"Di Chen, save me!"
This time, he was truly going to die; it was even more terrifying than being refined by the Heaven-Refining Gourd.
It all happened in just a few thoughts.
Su Chen's strength recovered somewhat.
He intervened to stop Wang Potian from killing Qin Wujie.
Su Chen grabbed Qin Wujie's primordial spirit.
This prevented Qin Wujie from dying instantly.
A new battle erupted between the two sides.
An unknown number of years passed.
Wang Potian's expression suddenly changed.
A new aura appeared.
Walking in the void.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on refining the 'Heart' of the Universe."
The figure appeared.
It was a man, dressed in blue and white robes, exuding an ethereal aura, with a crane-shaped crown on his head. He appeared harmless, like a banished immortal, if only his eyes weren't pure white.
Su Chen knew.
That "Junior Brother" was how he was addressed.
Just one glance.
Su Chen knew the newcomer's origin.
The Endless Immortal Land!
He also came from the Endless Immortal Land.
Within the Endless Immortal Land, there were quite a few geniuses who had entered this Immortal Ascension Ground.
Su Chen was just one of them.
Besides him, there were many other powerful figures.
The Ten Absolute Martial Emperor had the backing of the Transmigrator Alliance.
Su Chen's 100,000 points of family background weren't for nothing.
"You are a Celestial Spirit from the Endless Immortal Land!"
"You, from the Endless Immortal Land, dare to interfere in the affairs of my Transmigrator Alliance? This guy killed my brothers from the Transmigrator Alliance; we are destined to be enemies to the death!"
"If you save him, you'll be going against my Transmigrator Alliance. You know the consequences!"
Wang Potian's eyes widened in fear.
The young man with celestial potential walked through the void like a blazing sun, dazzling and scorching.
This was definitely a... ruler of at least the Ten Tribulations level!
The celestial spirit narrowed its eyes, its white pupils fixed on Wang Potian.
Wang Potian felt as if he had been severely wounded.
"The Transmigrator Alliance is indeed powerful. Outside the Immortal Ascension Ground, my Final Immortal Ground would certainly give way."
"But... this is the Immortal Ascension Ground. No matter how powerful your Transmigrator Alliance is, it cannot have a Celestial Realm expert interfering in the Immortal Ascension Ground of the Void Sea."
"Therefore... you are not qualified to threaten me here. Let Xuan Yuan Wudi do it!"
Wang Potian's body shattered instantly, disintegrating in the void.
Ultimately, he turned into a pile of formless objects.
The terrifying celestial spirit grabbed him with one hand.
"This Heart of the Universe is an apology gift from your senior brother, delayed by personal matters."
"I hope you won't blame me, junior brother."
PS: I went out to celebrate my birthday today, so the update is a bit late. I'll continue clearing out gift points tomorrow after everything is settled. (o=^•ェ•)o┏━┓
