Chapter 766
Reaching the Summit
The Skeleton Lord opened his mouth wide, staring intently at the door.
Before me stood the colossal bronze gate, which had stood for billions of years, blocking countless geniuses, and was said to be able to be opened only by resonance of divine souls…
There was a large, semi-circular pit in the middle that was tens of feet deep!
And at the center of the crater was Su Chen's forehead!
"Open it... for me!!!"
Su Chen maintained his headbutt posture, the purple-gold divine patterns on his forehead surged, and the great dragon on his spine let out a final roar, pouring all the power in his body into this "head".
Rumble—!!!
The countless human faces carved on the door seemed to emit a mournful wail.
next second.
Blasted.
The entire bronze gate, like glass struck by a meteorite, shattered into countless bronze fragments!
The so-called "absolute defense" and "real-illusion transformation" became a complete joke in the face of Su Chen's "Iron Head Technique," which contained multiple laws such as [Origin], [Divine Weapon], [Gluttony], and [Gravity].
"call……"
Su Chen straightened up and shook his slightly dizzy head.
He reached up and touched his forehead; there was only a faint red mark there, without even breaking the skin.
"The Corpse Lord".
Su Chen turned around and looked at the skeleton whose soul had become transparent from fear.
"Look, isn't it open?"
"Where there's a will, there's a way."
Skeleton Lord: "..."
The Demon Lord of Chaos: "..."
At that moment, everyone was speechless. They stared at the man standing amidst the scattered bronze fragments, rubbing his forehead, and only one thought remained in their minds:
This is the real deal – a true god or demon!
However, before everyone could recover from their shock...
"Waaaaah—!!!"
A chilling gust of wind suddenly blew out from inside the broken door.
That wasn't ordinary wind.
That's [Divine Court Waste].
In other words, it is the countless distracting thoughts, nightmares, and mental garbage generated by the ancient god's brain during its long slumber. These things were blocked by the gate of life and death, and after hundreds of millions of years of fermentation, they have long since become a "torrent of mental toxins" powerful enough to overwhelm the sea of consciousness of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
At that moment, the gate broke down, and the floodwaters burst through the dam!
A black mental storm, mixed with countless distorted ghost faces, swept in like a tsunami.
"Ugh! My head hurts so much!!"
"Help! I've seen hell!!"
The demon soldiers who had just crawled back were instantly struck. Even the physically strong warriors of Bone City were now rolling on the ground, clutching their heads and bleeding from all seven orifices. This was a psychological attack!
"Oh no! It's 'mind distractions'! This stuff is even more potent than liver toxins!"
The Skeleton Lord was horrified and quickly shrank back behind Su Chen's shoulder. "Master, retreat! This thing is dangerous! It will cause mental breakdown!"
"retreat?"
As Su Chen looked at the overwhelming black storm, his previously dizzy head instantly cleared.
His eyes lit up.
It's even brighter than when I saw the Purple Gold Spine Dragon before!
"How can this be considered a distracting thought?"
"This is clearly... dessert!"
"It's mint flavored!"
Instead of retreating, Su Chen stepped forward and stood directly in front of everyone.
He opened his arms, and the illusory image of the Longevity Tree behind him reappeared.
But this time, what lit up was no longer the divine weapon branch or the withered and flourishing branch.
Instead, it was that jet-black branch, seemingly capable of bewitching and seducing—the Soul-Capturing Branch!
"Eternal Life, Soul Seizure, Devouring All Thoughts!!"
"Suck it, you son of a bitch!!!"
boom!!!
Su Chen's body transformed into a massive mental black hole.
That mental storm, which would have been troublesome even for a fifth-realm expert, swirled and entered Su Chen's body like cooking fumes sucked up by a range hood.
"Zizzizi..."
Within Su Chen's sea of consciousness, the Origin Dao Fruit spun wildly, crushing and purifying all these chaotic, evil, and distorted thoughts, transforming them into the purest soul power.
"belch--"
In just ten breaths.
The storm has stopped.
Su Chen let out a burp, and his previous tired look vanished. He was full of energy, and the golden and silver light in his eyes shone even brighter.
"It tastes good, a bit chilly, but quite refreshing."
Su Chen turned around and looked at his subordinates groaning in pain behind him.
He waved his hand casually.
slam-la-
Countless points of pure white light rain (purified soul power residue) fell on everyone.
"Get up, all of you, stop pretending to be dead."
"After taking my spiritual tonic, your spirit and soul should have reached a new level."
Those demon warriors who were originally suffering from splitting headaches felt their minds clear as they were bathed in the rain of light. Many demon cultivators who had been stuck at their bottlenecks for years even broke through to the Divine Soul Realm on the spot!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the medicine!!"
The crowd knelt down again, their eyes filled with an indescribable adoration.
"Skeleton Lord, come here."
Su Chen waved to the skull on his shoulder.
"Master?" The Skeleton Lord cautiously floated over.
"Look at your tattered soul, you're a disgrace to me."
Su Chen extended a finger and touched the center of the Skeleton Lord's forehead.
“I didn’t eat alone during this meal; I saved some of the main dishes for you.”
hum!
A surge of pure soul power, even imbued with a trace of the ancient god's essence, instantly flowed into the Skeleton Lord's body.
"Aaaaaah—it's so swollen! It's going to explode!!"
The Skeleton Lord screamed in agony, but his soul was undergoing a dramatic transformation.
The originally illusory and pale skeleton began to solidify rapidly, growing pure white bones, and even donning a black imperial robe formed from soul power.
A terrifying pressure belonging to the fifth level of the half-step realm erupted from his body.
[White Bone Demon Emperor - Form Reforged]!
"I...I've recovered?!"
Looking at his own hands, the Skeleton Lord was so moved that tears streamed down his face (if he had any).
"Not only did it recover, it became even stronger!!"
"Thank you so much, Master, for saving me!! Waaah... From now on, if anyone dares to lay a finger on you, I... no, I'll skin them alive!"
Su Chen pushed him away in disgust.
"Alright, stop getting sentimental."
"The door is open, the road is clear."
Su Chen looked at the deep passage behind the broken door.
The area was no longer gloomy; instead, it glowed with an eerie pink light.
The sound of the airflow became rapid and loud, like...
bellows?
"The throat of the ancient god is just ahead."
Su Chen strode into the gate.
"I heard a bunch of really loud guys live there?"
"Perfect timing, I also want to practice my voice."
……
……
Having passed through the perilous barrier between life and death, the scene before us underwent another dramatic transformation.
This is no longer a repressive world of bones, but a vast tubular space.
The surrounding walls were a translucent pink, covered with cartilaginous rings that resembled crystals. Every so often, one could see enormous eye-shaped storms swirling—the remnants of the ancient gods' breath.
Even though the ancient god is dead, the air here still moves at an astonishing speed. If an ordinary True Immortal were to stand here, he would be instantly torn to pieces by the wind.
But what's most unsettling isn't the wind.
It's a sound.
"Buzz...buzz...buzz..."
A deep, grand, and seemingly ethereal whisper filled every inch of space.
The content of the voice was indistinct, but every syllable that entered the ear would make one's heart race, blood boil, and even give one an urge to worship.
"My lord...the wind is so strong here...and...I feel like someone is giving me orders?"
The demon generals who had just advanced to the late stage of True Immortal were all pale-faced and trembling, as if a mountain was pressing down on their backs.
"This is the [Divine Throat]."
The Skeleton Lord, who had regained his Ghost Emperor's majesty, floated ahead to lead the way, his expression solemn.
"This is the vocal organ of the ancient gods, and the source of the 'divine commandments'." "Back then, when the ancient gods uttered their words, all laws followed. Even after their death, the rules remaining here are still incredibly powerful."
The Skeleton Lord pointed to the narrow area in front of him, which resembled a canyon—that was the [Voice Cord Canyon].
"The 'Celestial Sound Clan' dwells there. They have no physical form; they are a bizarre race that manifests sound waves as spirits. Their chieftain, 'Miyin,' inherited a trace of the ancient gods' laws and regulations."
“Here, their words are sacred decrees.”
As they were talking.
Sudden.
"Stop!!!"
A sharp, high-pitched voice, indistinguishable between male and female, suddenly exploded from the vocal cords.
The sound did not travel through the air, but resounded directly in the depths of everyone's souls.
This "Stop!" carries the irresistible force of the rules.
"Puff! Puff!"
Apart from Su Chen, the Demon Lord of Hun Tian, and the Skeleton Lord, all the demon army warriors instantly stiffened, as if they had been frozen in place by a spell, remaining in the raised leg position, and were forcibly fixed in place!
Even the flow of demonic energy within his body stopped!
"Words become law?!" The Demon Lord of Chaos's expression changed drastically. He desperately tried to break free by circulating his demonic power, but found that the surrounding space seemed to have frozen.
"Hmph, filthy mortal flesh."
Accompanied by a cold snort, countless transparent ripples gathered in the sky above the canyon.
Gradually, hundreds of illusory figures appeared.
They have no specific facial features, only a huge mouth, and their bodies are like flowing musical scores, exuding a holy and proud aura.
The leading figure was the largest, surrounded by a halo of seven-colored musical notes.
Miyin, the patriarch of the Tianyin Clan.
"This is a forbidden area for divine sounds; only pure spiritual beings may pass through."
Mi Yin looked down at Su Chen from her high position, her huge mouth opening and closing, emitting a judgmental sound.
"Kneel down!!"
boom!!!
The moment those two words were uttered, it was as if the will of Heaven had been issued.
An invisible, immense force, carrying an oppressive aura that compels the soul to submit, slammed down on Su Chen's shoulders.
This power doesn't target the physical body; it targets the will!
Under this rule, no matter how strong or how powerful you are, you still have to kneel!
"Kneel down... kneel down... kneel down..."
The echo reverberated throughout his throat, growing louder and heavier.
The hundred-foot-tall demonic body of the Hun Tian Demon Lord began to tremble violently at the knees, making a "crackling" sound, and it looked like it was about to give way.
The Skeleton Lord's soul also swayed, resisting with gritted teeth.
Only Su Chen.
He stood there, his feet rooted to the ground.
The force of the rules that forced him to kneel pressed down like a gentle breeze sweeping across a hillside, causing nothing but a ruffled hair.
Su Chen even had the leisure to raise his head and look at Mi Yin in the sky with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.
"You were... talking to me just now?"
Su Chen picked at his ear and flicked out a clump of earwax.
"The sound was too soft, I couldn't hear it."
"What did you say?"
"..."
Mi Yin's once arrogant, gaping mouth froze instantly.
How can it be? !
It invokes divine commands! Absolute rules empowered by the divine throat!
How could a human with only brute force ignore the rules?!
"You audacious madman!!"
Mi Yin was furious.
"Since your ears are hard to hear, then let your soul hear!"
"Divine Language - Soul Tremor!!"
"Get down...right there!!!"
"roar------!!!"
This time, Miyin no longer held back; hundreds of Tianyin clan members opened their mouths simultaneously, unleashing a torrent of white sound waves visible to the naked eye.
Wherever the torrent passed, space shattered, and even the hard walls of the trachea were shaken open with countless cracks.
Faced with this devastating sonic attack.
Su Chen smiled.
He laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.
"Trying to outshout each other, huh?"
"Row."
Su Chen took a deep breath.
With that inhale, the storm within the entire Divine Throat instantly ceased.
His Geng metal lungs, which had already activated the [Divine Treasury of the Lungs], were now bulging like bellows.
The newly evolved [Purple-Gold Spine Dragon] inside him traveled upwards along his spine, its head probing directly into Su Chen's throat.
The [Gluttony] Law is activated—Definition: My voice will devour your voice!
Su Chen suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth towards the Tianyin Clan in the sky.
"Give it to me..."
"Shut up!!!"
"roar------------!!!"
This roar had long transcended the realm of "sound".
It's like a nuclear bomb detonating in your throat!
It is an ancient dragon roaring in anger!
It is the sharpness of Geng metal energy, the majesty of a dragon's roar, and the devouring power of gluttony!
The Origin Dragon's Roar, formed by the superposition of three laws!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!!
Sound waves collide.
There was no stalemate, no evenly matched contest.
Su Chen's sound waves were like a heavy armored vehicle traveling at full speed, directly crushing the Tianyin Clan's fragile "bicycle".
"Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!"
In the sky, the hundreds of Tianyin Clan members didn't even have time to scream before their bodies exploded like soap bubbles in the terrifying sound waves!
It was directly shattered into the most primitive energy particles!
The clan leader, Miyin, fared even worse.
Its sonic torrent was forcibly pushed back, exploding within its own body.
"No...this can't be...what is that sound...poof!!"
Mi Yin's enormous illusory body twisted and deformed instantly, and finally, like a punctured balloon, it exploded into a cloud of colorful energy mist with a "bang".
With a single roar, an entire clan was wiped out!
The entire Divine Throat Corridor fell silent instantly.
Even the howling wind stopped, as if it had been startled by the shout.
Su Chen slowly closed his mouth and exhaled a breath of white turbid air.
The turbid air transformed into a sword light, cutting a bottomless gash in the opposite wall.
"cut."
Su Chen rubbed his throat.
"With such a low volume, you dare to yell at me to kneel down?"
“You don’t even have the right to interrupt the aunties at the market.”
Su Chen looked at the clusters of seven-colored energy mist floating in the sky—those were the original essence left behind by the Tianyin Clan after their deaths, and also the embodiment of the ancient god's vocal cord essence.
"However, although the voice is a bit soft."
"But this energy seems... quite soothing to the throat."
Su Chen opened his mouth again.
"Gluttony - Devouring the Heavens!"
call--!!!
The colorful mist that filled the sky was sucked into Su Chen's stomach like a whale sucking water.
[Devouring the spirit of sound waves...]
[Gained the supernatural power: Whispers of the Ancient Gods (Rule-based control)!]
[Gained Superpower: Gluttonous Roar (Sonic Destruction)!]
[Strengthening the lungs...strengthening the vocal cords...]
Su Chen felt a cool sensation in his throat.
He tried to hum softly.
"Humph."
boom! !
A huge rock in front of them shattered into powder instantly.
"nice one."
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"From now on, when I argue with people, I won't even need to lay a hand on them; a single snort will be enough to kill a whole bunch of them."
"Hun Tian, wake up, don't sleep."
Su Chen kicked the Hun Tian Demon Lord, who was still standing there in a daze.
"The brain is just ahead."
"Let's go... raid their house!" (End of Chapter)
