Chapter 373: The Main God Space (Twenty-Nine)

The Underworld
After helping Gongsun Ling out of her crisis, Su Chen took her on a journey through the desolate Underworld to comprehend the Dao of Life and Death.
Gongsun Ling, already a prodigy, progressed rapidly in her understanding of the Dao of Life and Death under Su Chen's tutelage.
On the Underworld battlefield, a fierce battle erupted with the renewed invasion of the Fourth Calamity.
The Underworld was far stronger than the Illusionary Sea Realm, boasting ten Dao Lord-level experts who managed to withstand wave after wave of attacks from the Fourth Calamity.
However, the biggest problem arose: the Fourth Calamity was immortal as long as it had enough resurrection coins, while the Dao Lords of the Underworld were truly dead once they died.
"You want to use the beings of my Underworld Realm to break open that gate?"
Faced with the mysterious youth who had suddenly intruded, one of the remaining Dao Lords of the Underworld Realm refused Su Chen's request without hesitation: "Such overwhelming karma is beyond the capacity of my Underworld Realm to bear... Your words are unsubstantiated; whether my Underworld Realm or the demons will ultimately prevail is still unknown."
Looking at the confident Dao Lord of the Underworld Realm, Su Chen sighed softly.
In an instant, all five remaining Dao Lords of the Underworld Realm assisted Su Chen in breaking open the gate through his method.
He wasn't seeking the opinions of the five Dao Lords of the Underworld Realm; he was merely asking politely. Unexpectedly, one of them actually refused his request, so Su Chen could only 'respectfully' help them make a decision.
Boundless filth impacted the gate.
"The rules of that gate have been strengthened."
The power of the rules of that gate in the Underworld Realm was far stronger than that of the Illusionary Sea Realm.
Su Chen knew that all of this was undoubtedly the work of the Fourth Calamity Lord behind the scenes.
This also made Su Chen realize that the Fourth Calamity Lord hadn't yet recovered to the Immortal level. If he had, he certainly wouldn't have given him a chance.
Borrowing the power of the Underworld, Su Chen ultimately succeeded in weakening the order to a level he could manage, but the number of Underworld beings killed or injured was far greater than expected.
Su Chen thoughtfully shifted the blame for the Underworld's sins onto several Dao Lords within the Underworld.
Gongsun Ling witnessed all of this, and Su Chen didn't hide anything.
"Do you think your master is too cruel?"
Faced with this sudden question, Gongsun Ling's eyes showed confusion.
The number of beings who died at her hands was not small; the destruction of countless worlds in a great war was nothing out of the ordinary.
But the beings she annihilated, in the context of a great sacrifice, were not even a drop in the ocean.
Su Chen said calmly, "What I want to teach you is that the path of cultivation is about weighing pros and cons, not about being soft-hearted."
"If we cannot completely kill the demons, the Yellow Springs Realm will eventually be completely destroyed by them, leaving not a single survivor. At that time, weighing the pros and cons will be meaningless."
"The reason they can be sacrificed so easily is simply because they are not strong enough. If they were strong enough to break into the gate, there would be no need to sacrifice so many lives."
Su Chen looked at Gongsun Ling and said coldly, "What I hope for is that in the future, when you encounter crises, you can overcome them with your own strength and wisdom, instead of begging others, relying on the bonds of friendship—methods that pray for fate. Fate is in your own hands; man relies on himself."
Gongsun Ling's rapid breakthrough to Emperor status and transcendence of the world demonstrates her exceptional talent, but her experience is still too limited... Her mental state is not yet fully developed, and she will inevitably become a pawn for others. Not only high-ranking immortals, but even the remnant soul of a mere Lord of the Underworld dares to scheme against her.
Su Chen does not want Gongsun Ling to have her remaining 'thoughts' awakened by some being during a great calamity, thus falling into a trap and perishing. Ruthlessness is not heartlessness, but rather making the most rational judgment—a necessary step to becoming a true immortal.
Su Chen easily destroyed the resurrection point.
He gained a large number of points.
The five Dao Lords of the Underworld suddenly realized...
They discovered that they had unknowingly become tainted with immeasurable sins.
Besides these immeasurable sins...
The Underworld's treasures were also missing.
They had absolutely no recollection of what had happened.
...
In a strange space
He saw yet another player legion destroyed, and his face darkened instantly.
"Damn it! Why is it that guy from the Main God Space again!"
He had clearly spent a great deal of effort upgrading the power of rules, so why was that guy still able to enter the resurrection point?
And it wasn't just one portal that was destroyed; soon after, more bad news arrived.
Another resurrection point destroyed. This drove him mad. His hard-earned resources were being destroyed one after another.
Watching the departing figure, a murderous thought flashed through his mind. He wanted to completely obliterate this boy who had repeatedly ruined his plans.
But in the end, he restrained his killing intent.
"It must be the supreme being behind the Main God Space manipulating my thoughts..."
He suppressed his killing intent towards Su Chen.
He knew that the boy was merely a pawn. If he made a move and was captured by the supreme being of the Main God Space, he would be finished.
"Withdraw! The invasion of the Boundless Realm can no longer continue."
Seeing the invasion fail, He naturally wouldn't risk destroying the accumulated resources of the Boundless Realm.
...
Su Chen sensed an aura emanating from the shadows, intent on erasing everything around him.
However, that aura only lasted a moment before vanishing, making him wonder if it was just an illusion.
Su Chen knew it wasn't an illusion.
The Fourth Calamity Lord behind the scenes harbored murderous intent towards him, but ultimately restrained himself.
This disappointed Su Chen somewhat. This Fourth Calamity Lord was far more intelligent than he had imagined. If the Fourth Calamity Lord dared to make a move, the entity behind the Main God Space wouldn't easily let go of a Fourth Calamity Lord in his weakened state.
Su Chen's cultivation had reached the peak of the Eleventh Tribulation.
At this moment, the portals of the Fourth Calamity Lord began to withdraw from the Boundless Realm.
This disappointed Su Chen somewhat.
However, something unexpected happened.
In a certain place within the boundless alien realm, a powerful aura suddenly arose, accompanied by overwhelming power and countless sins, transforming into an unparalleled killing god.
An Emperor-level being had been born!
Su Chen raised his head to look at that Emperor-level being.
Bearing immeasurable sins.
He... too, employed a blood sacrifice technique, breaking the boundary between the peak of the 19th Tribulation and the Twentieth Tribulation Ruler. At least three great realms' worth of beings in the Boundless Realm were refined, ultimately resulting in a savior. The Boundless Realm's decision was the right one.
Unfortunately, the mastermind behind the Fourth Calamity clearly has no intention of continuing the fight.
