Chapter 310: Rebirth: I'm a Grandpa (Chapter 34)

The clash between Dongfang Yunxing and Emperor Taihao revealed an unfathomable level of power, practically indistinguishable from immortals within this Immortal Ascension Land.
The aftershocks destroyed civilization after civilization.
Dongfang Yunxing and Emperor Taihao were locked in a stalemate.
Their levels were simply too high; completely killing the other was incredibly difficult.
Unless, an unexpected event occurred.
There were virtually no unexpected events that could intervene in a battle of this caliber.
But… the long-dormant bead stirred.
The entire event unfolded far too suddenly.
Emperor Taihao had never imagined that a third being of their level could exist in this world.
An aura similar to Dongfang Yunxing's, yet distinct, emanated from the bead.
The unification of all laws, the ultimate destructive power, even when Emperor Taihao immediately unleashed his great divine abilities, attempting to disperse across countless dimensions to evade this attack.
But it was too late.
That punch pierced his chest.
Emperor Taihao stared at the white-haired middle-aged man who had appeared.
His aura was cold.
“It's you…you actually didn't die…”
A figure long dead flashed through Emperor Taihao's mind, overlapping with that figure.
Although the two looked different.
“Master…”
A long-lost smile appeared on Dongfang Yunxing's face.
Su Chen's expression was calm.
Since the Land of Desolation, he had been alive and lucid, always within the Heavenly Fate Pearl.
With the help of Di Chan, Chi Yao, and Qin Wujie, he had orchestrated the massacre of his family, the one who knew the whereabouts of the Heavenly Fate Pearl, becoming one of the many powerful rulers who were killed. No one knew that all of this was because of a single pearl, and no one would know of the Heavenly Fate Pearl's existence.
He was laying the groundwork, waiting for Emperor Taihao to appear.
For nearly a hundred million years, Su Chen never left the Heavenly Fate Pearl. No one knew he was still alive. Even when Chi Yao probed him, he didn't respond. Watching his old friend fall into desolation, he never left the Heavenly Fate Pearl. This was a grand scheme orchestrated over countless years, a secret related to immortality.
Therefore, Su Chen remained dormant within the Heavenly Fate Pearl. As Dongfang Yunxing killed more and more powerful beings, the energy of the Heavenly Fate Pearl grew stronger, and his own strength, along with the strengthening of the Heavenly Fate Pearl, became increasingly unfathomable.
Even after the Great Calamity of Annihilation, Su Chen still didn't emerge.
He believed that Emperor Taihao was not dead.
The Final Immortal Realm was destroyed, and Emperor Taihao devoured all immortal spirits; the Great Calamity of Annihilation couldn't kill him.
Only Dongfang Yunxing knew that Su Chen was still alive.
He didn't know why his master seemed to have disappeared without a trace since that incident.
Until he saw Emperor Taihao, Dongfang Yunxing suddenly understood why his master had disappeared for so long.
Su Chen stared at Emperor Taihao.
Emperor Taihao stared at Su Chen in shock.
He had clearly witnessed Su Chen dissipate his Dao and die before his very eyes.
Why had he come back to life?
Emperor Taihao didn't know the answer to this question.
Su Chen had no interest in telling him.
The Myriad Dao Wheel spun, transforming in Su Chen's hand into a sword capable of annihilating the Great Dao. Giving Emperor Taihao no chance to breathe, it slashed directly at him.
During his years of seclusion, he continuously perfected his cultivation methods, surpassing his previous life. All techniques had merged into a single, supreme path, making him no less powerful than Emperor Taihao.
Dongfang Yunxing also joined the attack.
Two powerful figures of equal strength, in no way inferior to Emperor Taihao, besieged and attacked Emperor Taihao alone.
Within the Immortal Ascension Land, only ruins remained.
Knowing he was no match, Emperor Taihao began to use his last ounce of strength to try and leave the Immortal Ascension Land.
After an unknown amount of time, a hint of despair flashed in Emperor Taihao's eyes.
He discovered that no matter how long it took, he could not reach the end of the Immortal Ascension Land, could not reach the Void Sea.
"Here..."
Emperor Taihao discovered.
Here, ruins lay, and traces of battle remained.
He had returned to the Immortal Ascension Land.
This scene filled him with despair.
"We can't escape, none of us can escape this place..."
"A deception, it's all a deception, becoming an immortal is a deception!"
The Taihao Emperor suddenly laughed maniacally.
The Immortal Realm... without becoming an immortal, there's no way out.
It's nothing but a giant prison.
The Taihao Emperor suddenly charged towards Dongfang Yunxing.
That terrifying power directly pierced through the River of Time in the Void.
Su Chen, wielding the Myriad Laws Immortal Sword, severed one of the Taihao Emperor's arms; dripping blood obliterated vast amounts of ancient history.
An unknown amount of time passed.
The Taihao Emperor's aura gradually dissipated.
Su Chen looked at a bead in his hand. Unlike the Heavenly Fate Bead, this was a bead formed by the Taihao Emperor himself. Streams of immortal spiritual energy were sealed within the bead. The Taihao Emperor wanted to use this immortal spiritual energy to prove himself a true immortal in the Final Immortal Realm.
But for some unknown reason, he failed to become a true immortal.
Su Chen's true form transformed into the Heavenly Fate Pearl, floating in the River of Time, yet the time itself seemed so dim at this moment.
Dongfang Yunxing fell into a deep slumber. In his battle with Emperor Taihao, he was severely injured. The two fought together in the River of Time, both suffering terrible punishment from the ravages of time. Emperor Taihao perished, and Dongfang Yunxing also suffered a backlash, being severely injured as a result.
Su Chen gazed at the tall body floating on the River of Time.
He didn't intervene, but instead began to comprehend the immortal secrets left behind by Emperor Taihao.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Even the balance of time in the Void began to stagnate.
A different aura appeared on Dongfang Yunxing's body.
That aura seemed to be growing stronger.
"Finally, I succeeded?"
Su Chen's eyes shone with joy.
An indescribable characteristic began to appear on Dongfang Yunxing's body. Su Chen didn't know its origin, but he knew it was related to immortality, concerning the secrets of achieving it.
The Heavenly Fate Pearl trembled.
A terrifying fluctuation emanated from it.
This time, however, Su Chen didn't suppress it.
The Heavenly Fate Pearl flew to Dongfang Yunxing's body.
A look of pain appeared on Dongfang Yunxing's face, as if he were struggling.
"Immortality...immortality..."
Su Chen's eyes remained indifferent.
The Heavenly Fate Pearl was crafted by a True Immortal.
How could a being of that level be so easily defeated?
Within the Heavenly Fate Pearl, there existed a wisp of a characteristic. Su Chen's presence perfectly suppressed this wisp of the True Immortal's characteristic, thus preventing Dongfang Yunxing from detecting it.
After all, he was an being who had lived lifetime after lifetime.
A True Immortal touched upon a profound secret, unexpectedly perished, and sought to use the Immortal Ascension Ground of the Void Sea to create a second True Immortal.
Sensing the True Immortal's characteristic, Su Chen chose to amplify it...
All for this moment!
