Chapter 774
The Name of Su Shen
"This breath..."
Shen Wansan's voice was hoarse like a broken bellows, yet it carried an undisguised excitement.
"Pure...domineering...supreme..."
"This is the true origin of life! It is the very essence of life that transcends the rules of Heaven!!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Shen Wansan coughed violently with excitement, but his eyes grew even more fervent.
"Duoduo...you...you've done a great job!"
"With this drop of blood, I can not only extend my lifespan, but even... I might even have a chance to break through to the legendary Divine Bone Realm!!"
Qian Duoduo quickly kowtowed: "It's all thanks to the Lord's guidance! And also to God Su's great kindness!"
"Su Shen..."
As Shen Wansan uttered the name, the greed in his eyes instantly vanished, replaced by deep reverence.
As an ancient monster who had lived for nearly ten thousand years, he knew better than anyone what this drop of blood meant.
The person who can casually give away such a heaven-defying, fate-altering item must possess a depth of knowledge and strength that likely far exceeds the comprehension of this starry sea.
"Duoduo, obey my command."
Shen Wansan took a deep breath, and even through the light screen, one could sense his seriousness.
"Relay my order, Lord of the Tower!"
"From this moment forward, everyone in Wanbaolou shall regard Su Chen as if he were me!"
"No! Seeing Su Chen is like seeing a true god!!"
"Whatever God Su needs, even if it means emptying the coffers of my Wanbaolou, we will satisfy it immediately!"
"If any fool dares to disrespect God Su..."
A ruthless glint flashed in Shen Wansan's eyes.
"Exterminate their entire clan! Extract their souls to light lamps!!"
"Yes!! I will obey the decree!!" Qian Duoduo shuddered and answered loudly.
Just then.
The light screen suddenly shook violently.
A deafening clap of thunder came from outside.
"What's going on?" Shen Wansan frowned.
"OP! Something terrible has happened!"
Qian Duoduo glanced outside the cabin and her expression changed drastically.
"We...we've entered the 'Void Burial Grounds'!!"
……
【Void Burial Ground】.
This is the only way to the Northern Star Region, and also one of the most notorious dangerous places in the vast starry sky.
There are no stars here, only countless raging spatial currents and the ever-present [Annihilation Tribulation Lightning]. These tribulation lightning bolts are aggregates of resentment formed after the Great Dao Laws were shattered, specifically targeting the souls of living beings.
"Boom!!!"
at this time.
The void ahead had transformed into a purplish-black sea of lightning.
Within that sea of lightning, countless bolts of tribulation lightning, resembling black dragons, roared, each as thick as a bucket and radiating an aura of destruction.
The nine-headed golden lion stopped in its tracks, and fear appeared on all nine of its heads.
It is a demon, and is naturally most afraid of lightning tribulations.
"Master... the minefield ahead is too strong... my fur is about to be scorched..."
The nine-headed lion turned its head back pitifully.
Above the Divine Court.
Su Chen stood up and looked at the sea of lightning in front of him, which was powerful enough to annihilate even a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Instead of fear, his face showed a hint of...disdain?
"That's all the voltage?"
Su Chen shook his head.
"I was planning to have a whole roasted lamb, but the fire isn't hot enough."
He took a step forward, leaving the Divine Court, and walked alone into the sea of lightning.
"What is Su Shen going to do?!"
Qian Duoduo and his guards on the Jubao ship behind were dumbfounded.
That was the lightning of annihilation! Even a trace of it would damage one's foundation! And he actually... withstood it with his physical body?!
"boom!!!"
Seemingly sensing the intrusion of living beings, the sea of lightning instantly erupted.
Hundreds of millions of black lightning bolts, like sharks smelling blood, lashed out at Su Chen with madness.
In an instant, Su Chen's figure was engulfed in endless lightning.
"It's over..."
Qian Duoduo's heart tightened.
But the next second, a deafening gasp echoed from the center of the sea of lightning.
"suck------"
The sound was so loud, it was like a black hole breathing, trying to suck the universe dry.
Suddenly, a massive vortex appeared in the previously raging sea of lightning. All the tribulation lightning no longer struck Su Chen, but was instead forcibly pulled towards the center of the vortex by an irresistible suction force.
That's Su Chen's mouth!
"Gluttony - Devouring Heaven and Earth!!"
Su Chen opened his mouth wide, like a whale sucking in water.
The thunder that filled the sky transformed into strands of purplish-black noodles, which he swallowed whole.
"Zizzi-"
On Su Chen's body surface, purple-gold arcs of electricity danced wildly.
His Lung Divine Treasury was roaring, with the Qi of Geng Metal and the power of thunder intertwining within his body, tempering his five internal organs.
In just ten breaths.
That vast, boundless void buried the sea of thunder...
Gone.
It's completely gone.
Not a trace of static electricity remained.
The void became clean and spotless.
"belch--"
Su Chen stood in the void and patted his slightly bloated stomach.
He opened his mouth and spat out a black bead that shimmered with dazzling lightning.
This is the [Silent Thunder Pearl], formed from the essence of the Thunder Sea.
"It tastes a bit numbing and is too astringent."
Su Chen looked at the beads in his hand with disdain.
"However, this bead can be used as a hand grenade."
He turned around and looked at the nine-headed lion that had been completely petrified and the Wanbaolou people behind him.
What are you standing there for?
"The road is level now, let's keep going."
"The dragon tomb ahead should be even more interesting than this."
"..."
The nine-headed lion swallowed hard, and its nine heads nodded frantically.
"Yes, yes, yes! Master's divine might is unparalleled!!"
It pulled the chain again, and this time, it ran even faster than before.
It's scared!
It was afraid that if it ran too slowly, this guy would get hungry and eat it like a snack!
……
a few days later.
They traversed the Void Burial Grounds and crossed countless spatial turbulences.
Guided by that incomplete star map.
The Eternal Heaven finally arrived at its destination.
【Ancient Dragon Tomb - Outer Star Region】
This is a desolate starry sky.
There was no light, no heat. Only an endless, grayish-white aura of death, like a mist, enveloped everything.
Deep within the mist, one can vaguely see enormous, planet-like "graves." These are not piles of earth, but rather formed from the refining of abandoned, dead stars.
At the center of these planetary graveyards, there is a huge, slowly rotating black vortex.
Around the vortex floated countless stark white skeletons. There were the bones of giant whales stretching for thousands of miles, the bones of strange beasts as large as mountains, and even more... broken dragon bones.
This is the burial ground of the dragons.
It is also a forbidden zone for all living beings.
"roar------"
As soon as they approached, a mournful, venomous dragon roar, filled with an ancient and decaying aura, came from the depths of the mist.
The sound carried a powerful mental impact, causing many demon warriors in the Eternal Heaven to turn pale and their souls to tremble instantly.
"Who... disturbed... the peaceful slumber of our people..."
Accompanied by these intermittent ancient sayings.
Rumble!
The fog rolled in.
A massive, three-headed Corpse Dragon, its body reduced to nothing but bones and its eye sockets burning with green ghostly flames, burst forth from the dead star near the vortex.
Although they are corpses, they were all powerful beings at the half-step Divine Bone Realm in life. After death, nourished by the death energy of the Dragon Tomb, their strength increased rather than decreased!
"Get out...or...die..."
The three-headed corpse dragon coiled in the void, its terrifying dragon might blocking Su Chen's path.
"Lord!"
The Demon Lord of Chaos held the newly polished "God King's Finger Bone Wolf Tooth Mace" with high fighting spirit.
"This is the Tomb Guardian Corpse Dragon? It doesn't look like much! It's just that its skeleton is a bit big!"
"Please grant me permission to go into battle, my lord! I'd love to test the power of this new weapon!"
Su Chen sat on the throne, looking indifferently at the three-headed corpse dragon.
He shook his head.
"Hun Tian, step back."
"These three little loaches have rotten skin and no meat left."
Su Chen stood up and straightened his robes.
"However, these bones are high-quality, aged ones."
"and……"
Su Chen's nose twitched slightly as he smelled a scent that brought him joy.
That was the faint, purest aura of the Ancestral Dragon's Origin, accumulated over hundreds of millions of years deep within this Dragon Tomb.
"The cooking time for soup is crucial."
"These three old bones are just right for making the base for a pot of 'Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup'."
Su Chen took a step out and stepped out of the Divine Court's protective circle.
He looked at the three roaring corpse dragons and revealed his signature "benevolent" smile that instilled fear in all living things.
"Dear seniors."
"This junior, Su Chen, has come here today..."
"I'd like to borrow your bones!"
"As for..."
Behind Su Chen, the phantom of the Longevity Tree suddenly materialized, its thousands of roots transforming into ferocious tentacles that danced wildly in the void.
"Let's wait until the next life!!"
"Origin - God and Demon Star-Picking Hand!!"
boom!!!
A massive, purple-gold hand, covering half the starry sky and carrying an overwhelming, all-crushing will, hurtled towards the three-headed corpse dragon…
Grab it hard!
……
……
Rumble—!!!
A colossal, purple-gold hand, obscuring the desolate starry sky, carried an irresistible primordial law, like an ancient divine mountain collapsing, as it fiercely grabbed at the three roaring, half-step divine bone realm corpse dragons.
"Roar!! You human ants! How dare you defy the heavens!"
Although the three-headed corpse dragons had been dead for billions of years, their remaining dragon pride was not to be desecrated. In their empty eye sockets, eerie green flames burned wildly, and they opened their massive, skeletal maws, large enough to devour stars, spewing out three streams of extremely dense [Deathly Aura of Ten Thousand Dragons].
This deathly aura is the condensation of the resentment and decay of countless fallen true dragons in the Dragon Tomb. Even a fifth-realm expert who is touched by it will suffer the fate of physical decay and the five signs of decay.
However, Su Chen sat on the throne, facing the deathly aura of ten thousand dragons that was enough to corrode the void, without even lifting his eyelids.
"Deceiving Heaven?"
Su Chen sneered, his laughter piercing through the void, carrying an arrogant disdain for eternity.
"Heaven and earth are ruthless, so I will shatter them! You are nothing but a few ancient skeletons and the mere smell of decaying grass. How dare you speak so arrogantly before me?"
"Give it to me...!"
Su Chen neither dodged nor evaded, and the illusory image of the [Longevity Tree] behind him suddenly rose from the ground. The [Withered and Flourishing Branch], representing the cycle of life and death, burst forth with dazzling black and white divine light.
hiss hiss hiss—
The three devastating, deathly auras of ten thousand dragons vanished the moment they touched the divine light of the Withered Glory Branch. The Withered Glory Branch reversed the laws of life and death, forcefully transforming the despairing deathly aura into the purest and most boundless vitality, which was then entirely fed back into Su Chen's body!
"The taste is quite good. The deathly aura of aging has been transformed into a unique mellowness after coming to life."
Su Chen took a deep breath, a look of enjoyment on his face.
Opposite him, the three corpse dragons were utterly terrified. Their prized trump card had become nourishment for this human?
"escape!!"
Their remaining instincts drove them to turn their massive skeletal bodies around, trying to burrow back into the Death Star.
"Now that it has been unearthed, let it be placed into my cauldron!"
Su Chen suddenly clenched his five fingers together.
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
The colossal purple-gold hand instantly closed, and the three half-step Divine Bone Realm corpse dragons, each tens of thousands of miles long, were forcibly squeezed together by this savage force before they could even let out a scream. The indestructible dragon bones shattered inch by inch, emitting a chilling explosion.
In just three breaths.
The three-headed dragon that once dominated the ancient times was shaped by Su Chen into a giant "bone ball" composed of broken bones and green ghost fire.
"Hun Tian! Take the pot off the heat!"
With a wave of his hand, Su Chen brought the broken bronze cauldron back to life in the starry sky.
"Yes, sir!"
The Demon Lord of Chaos roared furiously, commanding tens of thousands of demon soldiers to set up the giant cauldron. The nine-headed golden lion, with keen insight, stepped forward, its nine heads simultaneously spewing forth Samadhi Divine Flames, turning the bottom of the cauldron glowing red.
"boom!"
Su Chen casually tossed the huge "bone pellet" into the cauldron.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the [Deep Sea Mystic Ice Salt] and [Ten Thousand Year Fire Spirit Pepper] that Wanbaolou had previously presented as tribute from his storage space, and poured them all into the cauldron like scattering stars across the sky.
"Taiyi True Water, fill the tripod!"
slam-la-
The water flowed like a waterfall. Under the dual tempering of the Origin Fire and the Samadhi Divine Flame, the marrow of the three-headed corpse dragon was completely extracted. The originally eerie green ghost fire was purified, and the broth gradually turned into a rich, milky white. A strange bone fragrance mixed with the domineering dragon's might permeated the entire starry sky.
"This is the ancient dragon bone soup, which greatly replenishes qi and blood, and strengthens the body's foundation."
Su Chen stood by the cauldron, and with a wave of his sleeve, the most crucial clump of golden dragon marrow bone glue flew into his mouth.
"Gudu."
As the dragon marrow entered his abdomen, the purple-gold dragon spine within Su Chen's body emitted a high-pitched dragon roar, and each vertebra seemed to come alive, breathing out golden divine light.
"The rest are yours to enjoy!"
Su Chen turned around and looked down at the group of demon soldiers who were already drooling and had bloodshot eyes.
"Thank you, Lord, for bestowing upon us this supreme offering!"
The Demon Lord of Chaos led the way by kneeling in submission, and then led tens of thousands of demon soldiers to pounce on the giant cauldron like hungry wolves.
This is an unparalleled elixir made from the dragon bones of a half-step Divine Bone Realm cultivator! For these demonic cultivators who cultivate demonic bodies and whose physical bodies are already incredibly strong, it is simply the most supreme fortune in the world!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moment the dragon bone soup was drunk, a dense burst of breakthrough phenomena erupted in the starry sky.
Countless demon soldiers' bodies exploded with a popping sound like popping beans, their previous bottlenecks being broken through with overwhelming force. Tens of thousands of demon soldiers, nourished by this pot of soup, collectively rose a major realm, with even the lowest among them entering the ranks of Golden Immortals!
The Demon Lord of Chaos took this opportunity to undergo another physical transformation, and was only one step away from the Divine Bone Realm.
"Roar—!! We swear to serve our lord to the death!! We will sweep across the heavens!!"
Tens of thousands of demons at the Golden Immortal realm and above roared in unison, their soaring blood energy and killing intent scattering the surrounding gray-white death aura for hundreds of miles.
Su Chen sat high on the throne atop the ancient god's head, his gaze piercing through layers of mist, overlooking the vast starry river.
"These myriad heavens and countless realms, with billions of stars..."
Su Chen tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the throne. The sound was not loud, but it carried an overwhelming and domineering aura.
"All of this is my hunting ground, and all living beings are medicine in my cauldron."
"Let's go. The appetizer is over; it's time to try the main course deep within this dragon's tomb." (End of Chapter)
