Chapter 780
Slaying the Phoenix Ancestor and Annihilating Divine Thoughts
"Get back here!!!"
Su Chen shattered the void with a single step, his figure soaring into the sky like an arrow released from a bow. He did not use any magical treasures, nor did he even activate the Gluttony Demon God's Heaven and Earth Manifestation.
He simply clenched his right fist, which was crystal clear and gleaming with a purple-gold divine light!
Within his body, the newly ignited [Nirvana Divine Heart] pounded like a heavenly drum, pumping raging pure yang blood into his limbs and bones; behind him, the purple-gold dragon spine emitted a high-pitched dragon roar, pushing the power of his physical body to an extreme that even the Heavenly Dao could not comprehend!
"Origin Law - Ancient God Shakes the Heavens!!"
Su Chen threw a punch, which landed squarely on the bottom of the enormous, star-like Wutong Divine Seal!
Thump—! ! !
The moment their fists collided, time seemed to stand still for a moment throughout the entire Southern Star Region.
Immediately following, a terrifying sonic boom, beyond description, transformed into tangible ripples of destruction, instantly sweeping across billions of miles of starry sky. Countless pure-blooded celestial phoenixes that were even slightly close by were shattered by the aftershocks of the collision before they could even utter a scream, and fell into the sea of fire like rain.
"Suppress my true self? Your broken seal isn't even qualified to be a chopping board for me to crack walnuts!"
Su Chen's roar pierced through the sonic boom.
Under the Phoenix Queen's horrified gaze, the Phoenix Clan's ancestral artifact, the "Wutong Divine Seal," which was said to suppress all laws and was indestructible, actually let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain under Su Chen's punch!
"Crack...knock..."
Dazzling cracks, like a spider web, spread wildly from Su Chen's fist towards the entire seal! The nine-colored divine flames were extinguished by the gluttonous power attached to Su Chen's fist!
"boom!!!"
With a deafening roar, the Wutong Divine Seal, which contained the power of an entire realm, was sent flying by Su Chen's punch! Like an out-of-control meteor, it crashed into the Wutong Divine Forest deep within the Phoenix Nest, creating a bottomless and terrifying abyss!
Bare-handed, he could shake an ancestral weapon; with a single punch, he could shatter mountains and rivers!
"This...how is this possible?!"
As the Phoenix Queen suffered a backlash from the ancestral artifact, a sweet taste suddenly rose in her throat, and a mouthful of golden-red phoenix blood with a rich, exotic fragrance gushed out, staining the nine-colored feathered robe on her chest.
A chilling fear finally surfaced in her once haughty eyes.
That man, with only a mortal body, actually shattered a half-step True God's enraged attack, along with a supreme innate treasure, with a single punch?!
"This body...this is not a human body! This is...the forbidden power of the primordial origin!!"
The Empress's voice trembled. She finally realized that the madman who treated them like poultry was not some lowly ant from the mortal realm, but an ancient demon god in human skin!
"Your turtle shell is broken."
Su Chen flicked his wrist, leaving not a single white mark on his knuckles. He paced through the air, approaching the Phoenix Queen step by step like the Grim Reaper. The naked hunger in his eyes sent a chill down the spine of this supreme ruler of the Southern Star Region, a feeling he had never experienced before.
"Now, it's my turn to enjoy this 'sliced sashimi' from a half-step true god!"
……
……
Su Chen's steps were not fast, but with each step he took, it was as if he was stepping on the Empress's heart, crushing her once invincible pride to dust.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Empress Feng retreated repeatedly, her exquisite face now deathly pale. She could clearly feel that the surrounding space had been completely sealed off by the savage and domineering primal power emanating from Su Chen. She was like a canary trapped in an iron cage, with no way to escape to heaven or hell!
"Human! Do you really intend to exterminate us all?! Our race also has a strong presence in the God Realm. If you kill me, you will surely face retribution from the God Realm!!" The Phoenix Queen screamed fiercely, trying to invoke the God Realm to suppress this madman.
"The realm of gods?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's lips curled into a cold, extremely contemptuous smile.
"Did you stay in the fire for too long and get your brain roasted?"
"I even chewed up the claws that the God-King of Judgment extended, treating them like crumbs. You think you can use the divine realm to intimidate me?"
"On the day I've eaten and drunk my fill and broken through the boundary, all the gods and Buddhas in the divine realm will have to obediently be cooked into my pot!"
Before he finished speaking, Su Chen suddenly stretched out his right hand, his purple-gold fingertips piercing through layers of space, transforming into a dragon claw that blotted out the sky, and went straight for the Phoenix Queen's crown!
"You've gone too far! Since you want my entire clan wiped out, then I will perish with you!"
Driven to the brink of despair, a flash of extreme madness and determination appeared in the Empress's eyes.
She suddenly tilted her head back and slapped her chest, shattering her demigod heart that had not beat for a thousand years.
"I offer my demigod body as a sacrifice!"
"Ignite my pure blood essence as fuel!"
"Phoenix Clan Forbidden Technique—[Nine Deaths Nirvana Formation]!!"
"Please, First Generation Phoenix Ancestor... descend to the world!!!"
boom----!!!
With the Phoenix Queen's desperate roar, a strange black flame instantly erupted from her delicate body. This flame was not for killing enemies, but a frenzied sacrifice of her own life, soul, and foundation!
Behind her, in the void, a spatial rift stretching for millions of miles was forcibly torn open by this sacrificial power.
An ancient, desolate, and terrifying aura, seemingly originating from the chaotic beginning of the universe, swept across the endless river of time and crashed down upon the Southern Star Region!
The aura was so powerful that it even caused the surrounding stars to stop moving!
“唳————!!!”
A cry, a million times more majestic than all the previous phoenix cries combined, emanated from the depths of the crack. Immediately afterward, a colossal phoenix shadow, blotting out the sky and flowing with chaotic energy, slowly emerged from the crack.
That was the progenitor of the Undying Phoenix Clan from the previous era! Even though it was just a wisp of divine thought summoned by the sacrifice of his descendants, its pressure still firmly stood on the threshold of a sixth-realm true god!
"What kind of demon dares to drive my bloodline to such a desperate situation..."
The phoenix ancestor's afterimage opened its eyes, which were like two stars, and coldly stared at Su Chen below. Its voice was as loud as the decree of heaven and earth: "Kneel down and die!"
"Ancestor, save me! Kill him!!" The Phoenix Queen, who had already begun to be devoured by the black fire and whose life force was rapidly fading away, kowtowed frantically as if she had grasped at the last straw.
Faced with such a first generation whose words could be worshipped by all living beings in heaven and earth, the Dharma came into being.
Su Chen withdrew his hand, stood still, and looked up at the enormous, boundless afterimage of the Phoenix Ancestor.
Then he smiled.
He laughed so hard he almost fell over, his laughter was unrestrained and wild, and even a tear rolled down his cheek.
"Hahaha! This is hilarious!"
"After defeating the young one, the old one appears. I thought I had summoned something extraordinary, but it turns out it's just an expired remnant soul that died countless epochs ago!"
Su Chen's expression instantly turned cold, and the gluttonous red light in his eyes pierced the sky like a sharp sword.
"Expired, rotten flesh, dares to make me kneel?" "Get back to your grave!!!"
hum!
Su Chen did not summon any divine weapons, because his physical body was the strongest weapon in the world!
He brought his right index and middle fingers together, and the purplish-gold primordial energy surged wildly at his fingertips, transforming into an invisible blade ten thousand feet long. This blade was not only interwoven with the laws of destruction, but also brimming with the [Butcher's Skill: Deconstruction Technique] capable of dismembering and devouring all things in heaven and earth!
"Origin Blade: Soul Slayer!"
Whoosh!
Su Chen used his finger as a sword and slashed fiercely at the arrogant afterimage of the Phoenix Ancestor!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any dazzling sound and light effects.
Only a single, unadorned yet incredibly fast, extremely fine purple-gold thread flashed past between the brows of the Phoenix Ancestor's afterimage!
"you……"
The majestic voice of the Phoenix Ancestor's afterimage abruptly ceased.
The next second, in the Phoenix Queen's desperate and almost frantic gaze, the once invincible afterimage of the first Phoenix Ancestor was actually split in two by that invisible thread!
"Hey!"
The afterimage was cleaved in two, and the divine laws and chaotic energy contained within it collapsed with a deafening roar!
"Dead ghosts should stay where dead ghosts belong, and stop coming out as corpses!"
Su Chen opened his mouth wide and inhaled sharply, sucking in all the trace of chaotic origin that had been released after the collapse of the Phoenix Ancestor's afterimage. He even smacked his lips with a sense of unsatisfaction.
"puff--!!!"
The summoning array was forcibly shattered, and the Phoenix Queen suffered an unprecedented backlash. The black sacrificial fire on her body was extinguished instantly, and she fell helplessly from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
Her foundation was destroyed, her soul was withered, and she fell from a high-ranking half-step true god to a useless person who was not even as good as a mortal!
"No...my power...my rebirth..."
Empress Feng collapsed in the void, looking in despair at the green-robed demon who walked step by step toward her.
"Having forcibly interrupted the Nine Deaths Nirvana Rebirth, this highly nourishing substance must be fully ripe, right?"
Su Chen crouched down, his gaze like a knife cutting open the Phoenix Queen's chest, and saw the [Nirvana Heart Blood] that had stopped beating, yet contained the essence of her life's demigod cultivation and Nirvana.
It was a drop of nine colors, like a liquid ruby, an unparalleled treasure!
"What...what are you going to do...kill me...please just kill me..." Empress Feng completely broke down, tears mixed with blood flowing down her face.
"Kill you? Wouldn't that be a waste of such a precious elixir of nature?"
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Su Chen's lips. He stretched out his right hand and, without any mercy, brutally plunged it into the Empress's chest!
"Aaaaaaahh ...
With an extremely shrill scream, Su Chen's fingers precisely gripped the drop of Nirvana Blood, tearing it out of the Phoenix Queen's heart meridian!
The Phoenix Queen, having lost her life's blood, aged instantly. Her once black hair turned to snow, and her eyes completely lost their luster, turning her into a mere mortal bird waiting to die.
Su Chen stood up, held the drop of nine-colored blood, which exuded endless vitality and the essence of fire, in front of his eyes, and took a deep breath of its intoxicating fragrance.
"What a fine drop of demigod's blood."
"Gudu."
Without any hesitation, Su Chen raised his head and swallowed the drop of supreme essence that the Undying Phoenix Clan had nurtured for billions of years!
boom----!!!
As the blood and energy entered his body, the Nirvana Divine Heart within Su Chen, condensed from pure Yang divine fire, seemed to have found the perfect fuel, bursting forth with a thunderous, frenzied pulse!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The powerful heartbeat even caused the entire void of the Southern Star Region to tremble in sync with the frequency!
With the infusion of this drop of blood, Su Chen's Heart Divine Treasury finally reached absolute perfection. From this moment on, even if he were blasted into a cloud of blood mist, as long as a single drop of blood remained, he could instantly be reborn, eternally indestructible!
"call……"
Su Chen let out a long sigh, feeling the terrifying power within his body that seemed capable of crushing stars. He looked with satisfaction at the millions of Heavenly Phoenixes below, who were completely terrified and kneeling in the void, trembling with fear.
He didn't go after them all; instead, he showed a kind smile, like a "farmer."
"Listen up, everyone."
Su Chen's voice transformed into an absolute law, imprinted deep within the soul of every Heavenly Phoenix.
"From this day forward, this Southern Star Region will be my Changshengtian's exclusive chicken farm!"
"Every hundred years, you must offer me a thousand of the fattest phoenix eggs and ten thousand of the purest poultry!"
"If there is even the slightest shortfall..."
Su Chen pointed to the still boiling bronze cauldron and the Phoenix Queen beside it, who was barely clinging to life with a full head of white hair.
"I will completely transform this Southern Star Region into a pot of rich chicken soup!"
"Did you all understand?!"
"We...we...pay homage to the Supreme Ruler! We swear to serve the Eternal Heaven to the death!!!"
The million Heavenly Phoenixes, whether proud imperial guards or surviving elders, all prostrated themselves at this moment, uttering the most humble sounds of submission.
The once lofty divine bird clan has now been completely reduced to being the pets of this peerless and ferocious god!
……
The Southern Starfield, once a forbidden zone that made countless galactic giants tremble with fear, has now been transformed into a peaceful and tranquil "captive land".
The raging Nirvana Flames that filled the sky had already been completely swallowed by Su Chen. Without the cover of the flames, this star field revealed its true appearance, which had not been shown for billions of years—countless dark red dead stars that had burned out, and the ancient Wutong Divine Tree that stood in the very center of the star field, emitting a faint nine-colored divine light, but whose branches had been broken in half by Su Chen's punch.
Beneath the divine tree, millions of pure-blooded phoenixes lay prostrate on the ground like docile domestic fowl, not daring to even breathe loudly. Those once high and mighty phoenix elders were now trembling as they directed their clansmen to respectfully place each crystal-clear phoenix egg, containing pure essence, into a jade box and send it in a line to the treasury of "Eternal Heaven".
Above the Eternal Heaven, in the Purple-Gold Divine Court.
Su Chen leaned lazily against the throne, his chest rising and falling at an extremely slow, yet rhythmic, beat.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
With each heartbeat, visible ripples spread through the surrounding void. The [Nirvana Divine Heart], which had undergone a profound transformation after devouring the [Nirvana Blood] of the demigod phoenix, was continuously pumping pure, powerful, purple-gold qi and blood into his body. With dragon liver and phoenix marrow fully absorbed, and yin and yang merging, his ancient divine body had reached a state of perfection, his skin faintly shimmering with a "chaotic hue" transcending the laws of this universe.
