Chapter 791
Shattering the Heavens, All Gods Enter the Cauldron
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Southern Heavenly Gate, which symbolized the supreme majesty of the divine realm for billions of years and isolated it from the turbidity of the mortal world and the divine might of the heavens, was completely destroyed by Su Chen's nonchalant "bone-scraping" blade, turning it into a sky full of scrap metal.
As soon as the divine gate shattered, the ferocious aura of the lower realm that had been sealed for countless epochs, mixed with the overwhelming demonic power of the Eternal Heaven army, poured into this pure and sacred land like a bursting dam of blood from the Netherworld!
"Tread! Tread! Tread!"
Su Chen ascended the steps, his green robe fluttering in the dense, impenetrable immortal aura of the divine realm. His steps were not heavy, one could even describe them as leisurely strolls, but with each step, the jade steps paved with the white jade marrow of the nine heavens would let out a mournful cry of unbearable weight, cracking inch by inch and turning into dust.
Before him lay the central hub of the divine realm, the supreme hall where all laws converged—the [Lingxiao Palace]!
Surrounding the grand hall, celestial clouds swirled, adorned with auspicious hues. Ninety-nine thousand golden pillars, each adorned with supreme Daoist runes used to suppress ancient ferocious beasts, stood tall and proud. Yet, at this moment, an impenetrable cloud of despair shrouded this sacred and solemn hall.
"Heretics!! Halt!!!"
"Ahead lies the sacred ground of Lingxiao, the abode of the God-King! How dare you, mere filthy creatures of the lower realm, take another step forward!!"
Accompanied by a hysterical roar, billions of dazzling divine lights suddenly shone on the vast nebula plaza in front of the palace.
Those were the most elite 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals of the divine realm!
Clad in chainmail forged from sun-refined gold, they wielded demon-slaying halberds tempered by the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations. Under the command of dozens of fifth-realm perfected divine generals, these 100,000 gods burned their life's divine power, forming a vast and murderous [Zhou Tian Demon-Slaying Grand Formation]!
Once the formation was complete, the blood and laws of the 100,000 gods were unified. Above the sky, a faceless god phantom, a million feet tall and wielding a giant axe of heavenly punishment, appeared. The axe was wreathed in destructive lightning powerful enough to cleave the world in two, and it locked onto Su Chen, who was walking alone.
"kill!!!"
One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers roared in unison, their sound waves shattering thousands of floating immortal islands in the surrounding area. The faceless deity's phantom swung its giant axe of heavenly punishment, carrying the wrath of the entire divine realm's Heavenly Dao, and cleaved down towards Su Chen's head!
This attack drained the divine essence of the surrounding billions of miles. Even a true sixth-realm god would not dare to confront its power!
However, faced with this devastating, earth-shattering axe blow...
Su Chen stopped in his tracks.
He didn't unleash any magical treasures, nor did he manifest the towering Gluttonous Demon God's avatar. He merely slightly raised his extremely arrogant face, and in his Origin God Eyes, which reflected the rising sun and moon, there was not a trace of solemnity, only the kind of satisfaction and scrutiny that a glutton would show when looking at the thriving vegetables in a greenhouse.
"That's quite a show of force."
Su Chen's lips curled into an extremely cruel and arrogant sneer. He slowly raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers together, and lightly pinched the massive, million-foot-long thunder axe that was about to strike.
"when------!!!!"
A deafening roar that shattered gold and split rocks caused 100,000 heavenly soldiers to cough up a mouthful of pale golden divine blood!
Amidst the horrified gazes of countless gods and Buddhas, the Heavenly Punishment Axe, which embodied the power of ten thousand gods and was powerful enough to split the heavens and the earth, was actually held firmly in mid-air by Su Chen with just two fingers!
No matter how hard the phantom exerted its strength, the giant axe could not suppress it even slightly. Even the violent lightning on the axe blade became as docile as a tamed puppy under the chaotic blood energy emanating from Su Chen's fingertips!
"but……"
Su Chen exerted force with his fingertips, and with a "crack", the Heavenly Punishment Giant Axe, along with the million-foot-tall divine phantom, shattered into a shower of light in mid-air like a fragile ice sculpture!
"You're nothing but a bunch of delicate vegetables raised in jade boxes, never having experienced the wildness of wind and rain. Do you even deserve to show your laughable sharpness before diners who savor the myriad worlds?!"
Su Chen shattered the void with one step, and his figure instantly appeared directly above the formation of 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals.
He spread his arms wide, laughed wildly to the sky, and a terrifying suction force of the [Seventh Realm - Great Dao Venerable Position], which transcended the understanding of the lower realm and the divine realm and was above all dimensions, suddenly erupted from his body!
"Now that the vegetables have been washed, they shall all be given to me—to be placed in the cauldron!!!"
"Origin Law: Gluttony Abyss!!!"
Rumble! ...
Su Chen's enormous mouth suddenly opened wide, and in that instant, his oral cavity transformed into an endless, all-consuming cosmic black hole! It was an extreme furnace that could even shred cause and effect, time, and laws!
"Aaaaaah!!! What's happening?! My divine power!! My legs are out of control!!"
"No! Help!! Your Majesty the God-King, save me!!!"
The Demon-Slaying Formation, which the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were so proud of, couldn't even last half a breath before Su Chen's abyssal maw, and was torn apart like a fragile spider web!
The violent suction force transformed into a cosmic hurricane that swept across the divine realm. Those high and mighty celestial soldiers and generals were now like fallen leaves swept up by the gale, or like fine sand sucked into a funnel, involuntarily flying backwards towards Su Chen's gigantic maw!
"Snap! Crack!"
A fifth-realm divine general fought desperately, but the suction force ripped off both his arms, along with the supreme divine artifact in his hands, and sucked him into the bottomless black hole. The chilling sounds of bones cracking and metal being chewed echoed clearly in the void.
One hundred thousand! A full one hundred thousand elite warriors from the divine realm!
In less than ten breaths, it transformed into a golden torrent of flesh and blood, which Su Chen swallowed whole in one gulp!
"Gudu."
Su Chen's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed the enormous "vegetable salad." He closed his eyes, and the [Nirvana Divine Heart] within his chest pounded wildly like thunder. The blood and laws of the ten thousand gods, under the frenzied crushing of the [Chaos Furnace], instantly transformed into the purest source, nourishing his limbs and bones.
"It's crispy, but unfortunately it's all moisture and there's hardly any hard bone. It's barely good enough to fill a gap between your teeth."
Su Chen smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction, flicking a wisp of black Gluttony Flame from his fingertip to evaporate the drop of golden divine blood that clung to the corner of his lips.
He lowered his head, his eyes, filled with endless ferocity, piercing straight into the depths of the Lingxiao Palace.
"How can such bland soup possibly fill my stomach?"
"If those old fogies hiding inside don't get a few more 'hard dishes' to eat, I'll personally tear down this dilapidated temple and cook it all up, including the land of this divine realm!!!"
……
……
Su Chen's arrogant words, which regarded the gods as mere vegetables, were like resounding slaps, striking the supreme dignity of the divine realm since ancient times.
"Arrogant demon!! You slaughtered my heavenly army and dishonored my divine dignity! Today I will show you, you heretic, what the true foundation of the divine realm is!!!"
"Clang—!!!!"
With a clear, resounding sword cry that shattered the thirty-three heavens, a terrifying sword pillar, piercing through the ages and annihilating all laws, soared into the sky from the deepest part of the Lingxiao Palace! The purity of this sword light was so great that it even cleaved a vacuum crack spanning billions of miles in the sky of the God Realm!
Immediately afterwards, a cold and arrogant old man, dressed in a Taibai Daoist robe, with white hair and beard, and eyes like two peerless immortal swords, stepped out of the hall amidst billions of sword energies.
[Nine Heavens Sword Master]!
One of the top three most powerful figures in the God Realm, a peerless sword god at the early stage of the sixth realm! The [Tai'a God-Slaying Sword] in his hand was forged from the first ray of aurora light when the God Realm was created and innate Dao gold. It once shattered a middle thousand world with a single sword strike!
Beside the Sword Master, auspicious colors drifted down from the sky, accompanied by ethereal celestial music. A peerless goddess, draped in nine-colored divine light and possessing a pair of sky-covering [Nine-Colored Divine Wings], descended gracefully like the crescent moon in the heavens.
【Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden】!
Also an ancient deity who has stepped into the sixth realm, wielding the holy path of the divine realm and the path of light, the nine-colored divine wings behind him are said to be able to stir up the years and transcend life and death!
The two supreme deities appeared together, their vast divine power intertwined, even making the Hun Tian Demon Lord and others who were frantically looting in the rear feel a sense of suffocation.
"You wicked creature, be executed!!"
Without a word, the Nine Heavens Sword Master locked onto Su Chen with his supreme sword heart, honed over countless eons. He swung out the Tai'a God-Slaying Sword with a fierce strike!
"One sword gives rise to myriad techniques—【Return to Nothingness】!!!"
boom!
This sword strike was devoid of any elaborate sword shadows; instead, it consisted of a thin, hair-like beam of pure white light that contained the power to trace all things back to their origin and obliterate all life and concepts! Wherever the sword light passed, even space itself was directly erased from the realm of gods!
At the same time, a murderous intent flashed in the cold eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. "Divine light shines everywhere, purifying the world with sacred chants!"
The nine-colored divine wings on her back suddenly unfolded, and billions of nine-colored feathers, like peerless divine weapons, burst forth from her body, transforming into a divine punishment rain that was both extremely beautiful and extremely deadly. Combined with the Sword Master's ultimate killing sword, it completely sealed off all of Su Chen's escape routes!
The combined attack of two sixth-realm gods is an unparalleled killing move that could plunge the universe back into chaos!
However, faced with such a decisive blow...
Su Chen kept his hands behind his back, not even bothering to dodge. His divine eyes reflected the all-consuming sword light and the countless divine feathers, but the smile on his lips grew increasingly twisted and cruel.
"Bone spurs, and bird feathers?"
"Perfect timing! I was just feeling really nauseous from that vegetarian meal!"
The ultimate sword light, known as "Returning to Nothingness," was already three inches from his brow!
Su Chen finally moved.
He didn't throw a punch, nor did he summon the Tree of Immortality. He simply extended his right thumb and forefinger as casually as if picking up a chopstick from the table.
"bite----!!!"
A crisp, metallic clang rang out abruptly amidst the devastating battle.
That Tai'a God-Slaying Sword Qi, which could even cut a gash in the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm, that innate divine weapon known as indestructible... was actually firmly held by Su Chen's two fingers, which shimmered with the color of chaotic glass!
"What?!!"
The Nine Heavens Sword Master's unwavering sword heart shattered at that moment! His eyes widened as he desperately channeled the divine king's laws within him, trying to pierce the divine sword even halfway in, or to withdraw it. But the sword tip, resting between Su Chen's fingers, remained motionless, as if rooted to the origin of the universe!
"This kind of inferior metal isn't even sharp enough to be used as a toothpick for me. Your old bones are not only old and frail, but even your bone spurs are so useless."
Su Chen shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"Sever this one!"
"Snap!!!"
Su Chen exerted force with his fingertips, and an overwhelming primordial gravity surged upwards from the tip of the sword. The ancient [Tai'a God-Slaying Sword] actually emitted a shrill sword cry, and starting from the tip, it shattered inch by inch, turning into a sky full of scrap metal!
"Pfft—My natal divine sword!!!" The Sword Master suffered a violent backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his divine body swaying precariously.
At that moment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's countless nine-colored divine feathers poured down, fiercely striking Su Chen's body!
"Clang, clang—bang, bang, bang!"
Countless feathers struck Su Chen's green robe and skin, erupting in divine fire more dazzling than the sun. But when the fire subsided, Su Chen still stood there unharmed. He even picked his ear with his little finger and casually flicked away a few divine feathers stuck in his hair.
"Fancy and frivolous. This molting, hairless beast thinks it can harm my Origin God Body with a few hidden weapons?"
The gluttonous red light in Su Chen's eyes suddenly ignited!
"Get over here right now!!!"
Swish!
Su Chen grabbed backhand, and the [God and Demon Star-Picking Hand] ignored the distance in space, directly crossing the void for tens of thousands of feet, and grabbed the neck of the Nine Heavens Sword Venerable!
At the same time, his other hand transformed into a purple-gold dragon claw that blotted out the sky, and fiercely reached behind the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden!
"No!!!" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden paled. She felt the terrifying power contained in that dragon claw, which could tear apart all dimensions. She desperately flapped her divine wings, trying to escape.
But Su Chen's speed has already surpassed the limits of this universe!
"Pfft!"
Su Chen's dragon claws precisely grasped the base of the pair of [Nine-Colored Sacred Wings] on Xuan Nu's back!
"A mere pheasant dares to flaunt your few scruffy feathers in front of me?!"
Su Chen roared, his arm muscles bulging like coiled dragons.
"Tear it off for me!!!"
"Sizzle—!!!!"
The chilling, soul-shaking sound of flesh being torn apart echoed throughout the entire Lingxiao Palace!
Under the horrified gaze of countless gods and Buddhas, Su Chen actually tore off the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's pair of nine-colored divine wings, which represented the holiness and nobility of the divine realm, along with large pieces of flesh from her back!
"Aaaaaaaaahh ...
The Mystic Maiden let out the most piercing scream of her life. Golden divine blood poured down like a torrential rain, and her beautiful face was contorted with extreme pain. She fell helplessly from the sky like a plucked quail.
"This kind of plucked bird has sour and astringent meat with hardly any fat or oil. It's only fit to be used to make a pot of clear soup for me!"
Su Chen casually tossed the pair of enormous nine-colored divine wings into the massive bronze cauldron behind him, which was a million feet in size.
Then, his gaze turned to the Nine Heavens Sword Master, whose neck was being squeezed and who was completely terrified.
Su Chen looked at the Sword Master's straight spine, licked his lips, and revealed an extremely professional "butcher" smile.
"As for you..."
"The bones of a sword cultivator are the sharpest and the most chewy. I don't need your flesh and blood, but I'll gladly accept this 'spine' that has been tempered with sword intent for millions of years!"
"Stab!"
With his other hand, Su Chen's fingers, like a knife, pierced directly into the back of the Nine Heavens Sword Master. Amidst the Sword Master's desperate whimpers, Su Chen's fingers traced the lines of his spine, and with a swift, masterful pull, like a butcher dissecting an ox!
"hiss----"
A crystal-clear [Sixth Realm Great Dao Sword Bone], radiating soaring sword intent, was uprooted by Su Chen and held in his hand, dripping with blood!
The Sword Master, having lost his spine, lay limp in Su Chen's hands like a lump of mud, his life force instantly extinguished.
Su Chen brought the sword bone to his mouth and bit off a piece. He chewed it with a loud "crunch, crunch," and the ear-piercing sound of chewing bones made countless ancient gods hidden deep within the Lingxiao Palace tremble with fear!
"The taste is alright, but it's a bit spicy on the throat."
Su Chen swallowed the broken bones, casually tossed the Sword Venerable's remains into the cauldron, then raised his head, his arrogant face stained with divine blood looking straight into the deepest part of the thirty-three heavens of the Lingxiao Palace.
"The appetizers are finished."
Su Chen used the remaining half of the sword bone in his hand as a toothpick, casually picking at his teeth, and the smile on his lips widened to a chilling degree.
"If those old guys hiding inside don't come out soon..."
"I, the Venerable One, am going to personally fold up all thirty-three heavens and burn them for firewood!!!" (End of Chapter)
