Chapter 379: The Main God Space (35)

"How arrogant!"

As the top-ranked god-tier player among the Fourth Scourge and the one hailed as the strongest beneath True Immortals, the Annihilation Demon Ancestor had never been looked down upon by anyone.

Even though the being before him exerted a terrifying pressure.

Burial True Immortal Monarch regarded the Annihilation Demon Ancestor with calm indifference. Though he had fallen on hard times, he had once been an immortal. He had seen far too many dazzling geniuses like this one.

The Annihilation Demon Ancestor unleashed a strike. The space around Burial True Immortal Monarch suddenly became wrapped in a layer of grayish airflow. The area compressed, flickered, and finally collapsed into a void where nothing existed. Every trace of information about that location was erased from spacetime.

The shocking upheaval silenced the entire battlefield for a moment.

"The Fourth Scourge actually has someone this terrifying!"

That power could destroy everything, even spacetime itself. How overbearing was it?

"Is this what the pinnacle monsters of the myriad heavens look like?"

In the midst of the Emperor melee, Yang Jiesheng swallowed hard.

After being killed in the past, he had relied on his indestructible soul to defy death through countless reincarnations. He had finally gained the chance to enter an immortal land. Through relentless struggle, he had climbed step by step until he reached the Emperor realm.

Yang Jiesheng understood how vast the myriad heavens were. He had joined this epic campaign to encircle the Fourth Scourge without hesitation, since he did not fear death anyway.

He was a genius, but every participant in this war was a monster among monsters. They all possessed unmatched talent, fortune, and supreme power.

Yang Jiesheng sensed a vast surge of sword qi nearby. A heaven-toppling sword strike suddenly descended.

An unparalleled figure appeared, with life and death energies revolving endlessly behind her. A diagram of the Dao of Life and Death manifested, suppressing the myriad heavens.

"It's her, the Life and Death Emperor!"

Her sword directly slew an Emperor from the Fourth Scourge side, staining the battlefield with blood. She showed no fear toward the surrounding enemies. The Life and Death Diagram split apart and transformed into two true dragons, one black and one white.

The Life and Death Emperor ranked three thousand on the myriad heavens Emperor leaderboard. She was a powerful expert who had mastered the Great Dao of Life and Death. Rumor said she had inherited her lineage from some terrifying existence.

Yang Jiesheng's face turned bitter. It seemed his next reincarnation was only one step away.

Surrounded by enemies, Gongsun Ling remained unshaken.

Until a faint ripple appeared in a certain patch of space.

A trace of fluctuation stirred in Gongsun Ling's eternally steady pupils.

That brief ripple gave the three surrounding Fourth Scourge Emperors their chance.

Gongsun Ling quickly refocused her thoughts. She still had strong enemies to face.

The battle erupted. Gongsun Ling held her own against three opponents, but Yang Jiesheng suffered. He was forced into the center of the battlefield and soon found himself in a sorry state.

He was an Emperor realm expert, after all.

Yang Jiesheng charged desperately toward a powerful Fourth Scourge Emperor. His suicidal fighting style made the enemy wonder who the real Fourth Scourge member was. How could someone fear death even less than he did?

...

In a relatively remote corner of the battlefield, Black Purity Emperor Lord gazed toward the distant heights where boundless torrents surged. The annihilating power within those clashes made his heart tremble even across the vast distance.

Monsters.

"After a strike like that, how could any being survive?"

Black Purity Emperor Lord murmured to himself. He wanted to become an immortal, but he was far from the only one with that ambition.

"No, he is still alive."

A calm, indifferent voice sounded beside Black Purity Emperor Lord's ear, as if answering his shock.

As the words faded, the annihilated spacetime was restored by an unknown force. Burial True Immortal Monarch, who had vanished without a trace, stepped out as if strolling from another timeline.

The Annihilation Demon Ancestor's full-powered strike had not injured him at all.

Black Purity Emperor Lord froze in place. What terrified him was not that someone had survived the Annihilation Demon Ancestor's terrifying killing blow. It was the sudden appearance of a white-robed youth right beside him—someone he had not sensed at all.

Vaguely, Black Purity Emperor Lord felt a faint sense of familiarity.

"Long time no see."

When Black Purity Emperor Lord clearly saw the youth's face, he realized that after several epochs the boy had not changed in the slightest. A wisp of divine light between his brows revealed the source of that familiar feeling.

"It's you!"

Black Purity Emperor Lord's pupils shrank violently. He recognized Su Chen. This was the terrifying Emperor who had once destroyed the Black Purity Heavenly Sect.

Although they had only met briefly before the youth vanished, Black Purity Emperor Lord had never forgotten him. Unbeknownst to him at the time, this youth had caused Zhao Wudi to lose an immortal bone—one that had ended up in the hands of the young Emperor before him. Yet he felt no joy at the reunion now.

Black Purity Emperor Lord did not hesitate. He tried to flee at once, but Su Chen merely smiled faintly at the fleeing Emperor.

"The Northern Nether Immortal Demon Body still lacks its final piece. Since it is my immortal bone, I naturally have to take it back."

Black Purity Emperor Lord suddenly felt a chill on his scalp. Without warning, Su Chen had caught up. One hand rested directly on the crown of his head. They were both in the Emperor realm, yet the gap between them was vast.

Despite his countless years of experience, Black Purity Emperor Lord felt only sorrow and despair in that moment.

A cold voice reached his ears.

"Zhao Wudi dug out my immortal bone. I will settle that karma with him myself. Unfortunately... you have taken on his karma for him. This debt naturally falls on your head."

The moment the words ended, Black Purity Emperor Lord's soul froze. A towering demonic qi descended from above and devoured his body of order completely. One hundred and seven immortal bones emerged and sank into Su Chen's body, merging seamlessly with his flesh.

The demonic form suddenly radiated gentle immortal light. In that instant, the immortal and demonic energies reached a strange balance. The Northern Nether Immortal Demon Body had officially formed.

"What a pitiful puppet."

In Su Chen's eyes, as Black Purity Emperor Lord died, a faint thin thread appeared, connecting toward an unseen direction.

The thread of fate.

This was what Su Chen had meant: Black Purity Emperor Lord had been a manipulated puppet from beginning to end. Every move and thought had been influenced by a True Immortal lurking behind the scenes.

Su Chen casually severed the thread. Subtle karmic fluctuations flowed along it toward the other end.

A pillar of light that pierced the heavens erupted around Su Chen.
