Chapter 438: The Players of the Fourth Calamity (18)

The players of the Fourth Calamity suddenly realized that Su Chen's figure had vanished long ago.
Disappearing along with Su Chen was the figure of the War Lord.
The two figures, rising infinitely higher, transcended this spacetime, reaching an invisible level.
A broken, rhombus-shaped crystal appeared tiny in the distance before the two figures.
Besides this, countless other such crystals shimmered and sparkled in the distance.
These were the countless futures created after the shattering of the myriad spacetimes.
Su Chen and the War Lord arrived outside of spacetime.
Eternal remnants of weapons floated in this place where all concepts ceased to exist.
Different Great Daos intertwined, transforming this place into a forbidden zone.
"In the past, different futures unfolded, leading to a great war that caused the fall of many True Immortals."
True Immortals are unique beings scattered across time and space. Here, a great war once erupted, resulting in the fall of many True Immortals from different timelines. Su Chen's Time-based True Immortal rank was among those who perished.
The True Immortals of the surrounding timelines seemed to have vanished, leaving only a faint trace of their former Immortal ranks.
Even with their combined strength, they couldn't stop the two monsters.
Now, only Su Chen and the War Lord remained.
"Come, this final battle!"
The War Lord exuded a murderous aura. Even in a place where all else seemed nonexistent, a current of energy, like a black sun, slowly rose. His very being was order!
Su Chen smiled lightly, the wheel behind him whirring, and the twelve 'Hearts of Destiny' erupted with dazzling light. Comprehending and fusing even one 'Heart of Destiny' was enough to become a True Immortal wielding the power of the Fourth Calamity, and Su Chen's body could actually contain twelve 'Hearts of Destiny' simultaneously. Such immense power, even at the very beginning of his cultivation, far surpassed that of many True Immortal giants.
Battle!
The War Lord's murderous aura transformed into a vast army, not just any ordinary army, but one infused with the War Lord's supreme killing intent, overwhelming everything, directly targeting Su Chen's Dao core. This surging torrent seemed poised to directly crush the world-destroying wheel behind Su Chen!
Having only just attained Dao, the War Lord's own Dao was already the strongest in the world, unparalleled in its power, enough to crush many True Immortal giants. In this place where True Immortals would fall in the future, an aura was being stirred, clearly indicating that the War Lord was behind the annihilation of so many True Immortals!
In Su Chen's pupils, however, was reflected a portal.
The Fourth Calamity, called a calamity by the heavens, was clearly far more complex than it appeared. Su Chen, residing within the Fourth Calamity, could naturally wield a portion of its power. This power manifested behind him as twelve giants wielding divine weapons.
The clash of two supreme Daoist powers was enough to easily shatter fragments of spacetime like reflections in a mirror.
Their footprints traversed the void, passing through countless timelines. The battle between these two supreme True Immortals, determining victory or defeat, could be described as spanning countless epochs, or perhaps a mere instant, for for them, the concept of time was far too insignificant.
...
As their footprints traversed fragments of spacetime, they lingered upon the torrent of history.
In this torrent...
There were no immortals.
Only two figures.
They seemed to transcend all the immortals.
The War Lord's lips curled into a bitter smile: "I have lost."
Having experienced countless battles of the Great Dao,
he had ultimately been too hasty.
Su Chen could have easily suppressed the War Lord's Great Dao, but he didn't.
The War Lord asked, puzzled, "Why did you spare me? Even if you spared me, you should know that as long as I don't die, I will still try to stop you someday."
The Fourth Calamity would spread across many dimensions.
The War Lord couldn't stand idly by.
Although he had lost, this defeat was only temporary for him.
Faced with this question, Su Chen said, "It's just repaying a favor."
Su Chen hadn't forgotten that he still owed the War Lord a favor.
The Lord of War sighed, "We'll meet again someday in the future."
"At that time, it might be a life-or-death struggle."
Su Chen smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "That's not necessarily true."
He decided to let the Lord of War leave, hoping he could return to the correct timeline and complete a new cycle in the future.
At that very moment,
amidst the torrent of time, several figures appeared from above and below, bearing the same mark as Su Chen, and each possessing at least three Hearts of Destiny.
"Lord of Time, the Lord of Calamity's orders are that this person must not be allowed to leave!"
Those True Immortals were clearly part of the Fourth Calamity's scheme in other dimensions. They had ambushed and attacked from above and below, waiting for Su Chen and the Lord of War to be severely weakened before wiping them out in one fell swoop.
"Lord of Time" was the title given to Su Chen.
Su Chen, looking at the True Immortals of the Fourth Calamity who had appeared, said, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
One True Immortal clasped his hands and said, "We certainly wouldn't dare teach the Time Lord how to do things, but this person is acting on the orders of the Calamity Lord. If the Time Lord disobeys the Calamity Lord's orders, he will likely bear the consequences."
Su Chen said, "I will bear the consequences myself."
The many True Immortals exchanged glances, and they could only watch helplessly as the War Lord left, his figure disappearing from sight.
As Su Chen let the War Lord leave, six Hearts of Destiny on the wheel behind Su Chen shattered with a crash.
Clearly, this was the Fourth Calamity Lord's warning, but Su Chen didn't take it seriously.
He knew that the Fourth Calamity Lord still needed him, because his performance far surpassed that of the other incompetent fools under the Fourth Calamity Lord's command. The Fourth Calamity Lord needed him to control other dimensions and disrupt this timeline.
Unbeknownst to him, he actually possessed the potential to become the Fourth Calamity Lord's number one lackey.
Su Chen inwardly admired the power of the Fourth Calamity Lord. What would the Lord think if he discovered that his favored henchman was actually a traitor?
Having paid such a high price, he'd probably be furious enough to vomit blood.
However, for now, Su Chen still needed to do his utmost.
Under Su Chen's leadership, the torrent of the Fourth Calamity quickly swept across different dimensions, assimilated by the power of the Fourth Calamity Lord.
Su Chen's strength gradually recovered, even surpassing its previous level.
There was no world Su Chen couldn't conquer, no task he couldn't complete.
Thus, Su Chen gradually became the Fourth Calamity Lord's top henchman, unless a Celestial King intervened.
But right now, practically all the Immortal King-level combat power is 'there'
unless there's a change in circumstances, and someone completes a new 'closed loop'
however, the probability of that is almost negligible.
