Chapter 792
Refining the 33rd Heaven
"Crack...knock..."
The chilling sound of chewing echoed continuously before the deathly silent Lingxiao Palace. The spine of the Nine Heavens Sword Master, tempered with unparalleled sword intent for billions of years, was chewed to pieces like a crispy twisted dough stick between Su Chen's sharp teeth, swallowed along with the remaining sword dao divine soul into the bottomless abyss's stomach.
Su Chen casually flicked away the half of the bone he had been using as a toothpick. With a "thud," the bone fragment, like a peerless divine weapon, pierced straight through the nine-dragon gate of the Lingxiao Palace, which was made of innate Dao gold.
"These bones of an old man are really hard to chew."
Su Chen shook his head, his eyes, which shimmered with a chaotic, glassy luster, slowly sweeping over the bronze cauldron below, which was already filled with the remains of gods and even beginning to overflow with golden divine blood.
"Too small."
Su Chen frowned slightly, his tone revealing the extreme dissatisfaction of a gourmet facing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast but finding that there weren't enough bowls and plates.
"This broken cauldron was barely enough to stew a few snakes and boil a few pheasants in the mortal realm. But now, in the thirty-three heavens of the divine realm, with hundreds of millions of gods and Buddhas, even if this cauldron were to break, it still wouldn't be able to hold such a lavish feast!"
"My lord, please calm your anger!" The Demon Lord of Chaos was so frightened that he immediately knelt down in the void, his whole body trembling with demonic energy. "Your subordinate will go and smash those false gods' immortal islands and mountains, and carve out more stone cauldrons for you, my lord!"
"No need."
Su Chen waved his hand, his green robe fluttering in the fierce winds of the divine realm. He looked up at the thirty-three layers of heavens, towering into the depths of the void. Each layer was filled with countless magnificent palaces and pavilions, inhabited by countless divine families, celestial soldiers, and fairy maidens.
"Building pots and stoves is the way of ordinary people."
A chilling, arrogant smile, so powerful it could even cause the Heavenly Dao to collapse, slowly curled up at the corners of Su Chen's mouth.
"Isn't this ready-made Thirty-Three Heavens an excellent 'multi-layered giant steamer'?"
"Since the cauldron isn't big enough, then today, I, the Supreme Being, will fold up the entire heavens of the divine realm! To forge a supreme divine furnace encompassing the entire universe!!!"
Upon hearing this, all the high-ranking deities hiding deep within the Lingxiao Palace were terrified!
Folding up the thirty-three heavens to build a furnace?! What an outrageous and insane idea! This divine realm is formed from the Heavenly Dao, and its spatial barriers are billions of times stronger than those of the lower realm. Even the greatest god-kings of all time could never shake the foundation of this entire divine realm!
"Madman! How dare you utter such world-destroying words! How can Heaven allow you to blaspheme like this!" A high-ranking deity hiding in the hall could no longer bear the pressure and roared out in a hoarse voice.
"The way of heaven?"
Su Chen burst into wild laughter, the sound shattering the auspicious clouds in the sky.
"My stomach is the greatest Heavenly Dao in all the heavens and myriad realms!"
"Rise, Your Majesty!!!"
boom--------!!!!
Su Chen stomped his feet on the void, and the terrifying blood energy of the sixth realm [Origin Divine Body Peak] surged like ten thousand ancient volcanoes erupting simultaneously, heading straight for the top of the star sea!
He did not manifest a Dharma form, but simply used his mortal body to open his arms and make an "embracing" gesture towards the high and mighty Thirty-Three Heavens.
"Origin Law - The Universe in the Palm of Your Hand, Controlling Heaven and Earth!!!"
hum!
As Su Chen slammed his arms together inward, the entire heavens of the God Realm emitted a mournful cry, as if countless ancient ferocious beasts were dying simultaneously!
The seemingly indestructible laws of the divine realm were being pulled apart by Su Chen's primal force that transcended dimensions, causing them to collapse and wrinkle violently, much like a giant, crumpled curtain being torn apart!
"No!!! The sky has fallen!!! The sky has really fallen!!!"
Amidst the desperate screams of countless gods, the lowest level of the God Realm, the Nine Heavens, was actually uprooted by Su Chen and curled wildly toward the center like folded paper!
Those magnificent palaces and celestial temples, those ever-flowing rivers of spiritual energy, those blessed lands where divine herbs had been cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, were instantly shattered into the most primordial dust under the terrifying compression of the folded space! The lower-ranking gods and celestial maidens who lived there did not even have a chance to escape, and were crushed into a sky full of golden blood mud by the swirling sky!
"Fold it again!!!"
Su Chen's arms bulged with veins, and a deafening roar emanated from his purple-gold dragon spine.
The tenth to twentieth heavens were once again forcibly bent by his supreme power and covered the lower heavens, which had already turned into a huge mass of matter!
"Click-clack—"
When heaven and earth unite, all laws collapse!
Under the fanatical gaze of tens of thousands of demons from the Eternal Heaven, as if worshipping the creator god, Su Chen actually folded, compressed, and kneaded the thirty-three heavens, ultimately transforming them into a [Limitless Divine Stove] in the void—a being so vast it defied description and shone with a chaotic, dark golden hue!
The walls of this divine furnace are entirely forged from the collapsed laws of the divine realm and the remnants of countless divine palaces and immortal islands; while the bottom of the furnace is covered with the golden blood mud from the crushed remains of billions of gods!
"The stove is built, but we lack firewood!"
Su Chen stood at the edge of the vast, boundless divine furnace, looking up into the deepest part of the void. There, due to the collapse of the divine realm, the last vestige of the divine realm's Heavenly Dao's will to resist had gathered—a vast, inky black [Nine Heavens Annihilation Thunder Tribulation] spanning hundreds of millions of miles!
"I was just worried about not having any raging fire, and you, Heavenly Dao, are quite sensible, delivering this Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to my door."
Su Chen stretched out his right hand, which transformed into a chaotic giant claw that blotted out the sky and sun. He directly probed into the center of the lightning tribulation and grabbed it fiercely!
"Come down and start a fire for me!!!"
"Boom!"
That piece of divine lightning from the heavens, powerful enough to shatter the entire world into dust, was actually torn from the void by Su Chen as if he were grabbing a handful of dry grass, and stuffed into the bottom of the supreme divine stove!
"Whoosh—!"
Thunder and lightning raged, and the divine furnace roared!
The supreme divine cauldron, fueled by heavenly lightning and tempered by the laws of space, burst into flames! The terrifying heatwave even evaporated the chaotic void at the edge of the divine realm!
"My men!"
Su Chen stood atop the Divine Stove, his green robe gleaming in the lightning and fire, making him appear like a demon god descending to earth. He pointed at the high-ranking deities still trembling in the Lingxiao Palace and issued a wild order to begin the feast.
"Pour that bronze cauldron in! And throw all these gods and Buddhas into the pot for me!"
"Today, I, the Venerable One, will use this Heavenly Dao Thunderfire to stew a 'Peerless Chaotic Stew' of the Thirty-Three Heavens atop these ruins of the Divine Realm!!!"
……
……
"Demon!!! You have destroyed the foundation of our divine realm and severed our Heavenly Dao inheritance! Today, even if our souls and spirits are annihilated, we will perish together with you, you heretic!!!"
Just as the Eternal Heaven Demon Army pounced on the Lingxiao Palace like wolves and tigers, preparing to drive those high-ranking gods into the pot like pigs and sheep.
In the deepest part of the Lingxiao Palace, within the highest celestial realm of the gods that has not been folded over—the Zhou Tian Star Sea—three hundred and sixty-five ancient star rays, dazzling beyond measure and spanning the ages, suddenly erupted!
"It's the Star Lords of the Heavens!! The Star Lords have made their move!!" The surviving gods cried out, as if grasping at their last straw.
Three hundred and sixty-five ancient star lords, clad in ancient star robes and radiating terrifying fluctuations of the mid-stage of the sixth realm, each wielding a star banner, emerged from the depths of the star sea.
They are not gods who have cultivated themselves, but rather innate deities born from the most primordial stellar origins at the very beginning of the divine realm! Each of them represents a main star in the vast void!
"Form the formation!!! [Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation]!!!"
The leader, Ziwei Xingjun, had eyes wide with rage and swung the Ziwei Divine Banner in his hand violently.
"Buzz—!!!!"
In an instant, the stars shifted and the universe was thrown into chaos! The 365 ancient main stars that were originally suspended high in the dome of the God Realm were pulled away from their orbits by the formation and, with terrifying kinetic energy that could crush all the worlds, crashed down on the Supreme Divine Stove where Su Chen was, like a world-destroying meteor storm!
These are no ordinary meteorites; each one contains the ultimate laws of stellar life and weighs over a billion trillion jin (a unit of weight).
Once the grand formation was complete, the gravity, space, and time of this world were all locked in place by the power of the stars. Even the former God-King of Judgment wouldn't dare to confront such a deadly formation head-on; he could only retreat!
"Die!! Turn into the ashes of the stars!!!" The three hundred and sixty-five star lords roared in unison, their voices shaking the void.
Faced with the falling stars that could shatter the entire world into dust.
Su Chen, standing at the edge of the Supreme Divine Stove, slowly raised his head.
His once deep, primordial eyes reflected the dazzling stars that had rained down from the sky. His Adam's apple, quite inconsiderately, bobbed violently.
"Gudu."
The sound of swallowing saliva seemed so abrupt and eerie amidst the roar of the great formation.
"The celestial constellations? The ancient primary star?"
Su Chen not only did not retreat a single step, but instead stuck out his tongue and greedily licked his dry lips. The suppressed gluttonous fire in his eyes, as if it had encountered hot oil, suddenly burst into flames at the peak of the void!
"I originally thought that in the end, all that would be left in the divine realm was some rotten meat for stewing."
"I never expected that you old fogies would actually be hiding such crunchy 'fried beans'!!!"
"The Law of Heaven and Earth—The Gluttonous Demon God!!!"
roar--------!!!!
With a savage roar a billion times more violent than the collision of stars, Su Chen's green robe instantly shattered! His body swelled in that instant, reaching tens of thousands of feet, millions of feet, and tens of millions of feet!!!
In the blink of an eye, an extreme demon god with six pairs of purple-gold bone wings on his back, covered with chaotic dragon scales, with the void above his head and a divine stove under his feet, suddenly descended into this broken divine realm!
His gaping maw was even larger than that of a fallen ancient star!
"A star has fallen? I'll take it all!!!"
Su Chen transformed into the Gluttonous Demon God, his legs plunging firmly into the edge of the Supreme Divine Stove, as steady as Mount Tai. He didn't try to block the starlight, but instead stretched out his two chaotic demonic hands, powerful enough to obscure the Milky Way, like a greedy child reaching for a candy jar, directly probing into the falling stars!
"boom!!!"
A celestial body, burning with an extremely cold, dark blue divine fire, crashed down. Su Chen's demonic hand neither dodged nor evaded, but instead grabbed it tightly! The celestial power of the celestial body, which could freeze even gods, only stirred up a burst of dazzling sparks in Su Chen's palm.
"Found one."
"boom!!!"
Another blazing sun, radiating intense flames, hurtled towards them. Su Chen swiftly scooped it up with his other demonic hand, gripping it tightly in his palm!
Two.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the Star Lords and all the remaining gods, Su Chen's demonic avatar, towering tens of millions of feet tall, completely ignored the world-destroying power of the Zhou Tian Star Array and began frantically grabbing at the crashing ancient stars from both sides of the void!
"Crack! Bang! Boom!"
Su Chen was like a crazed chef kneading dough. He forcefully squeezed the dozens, even hundreds, of ancient main stars he had caught between his palms!
"Monster!! How dare you destroy the very essence of my stars!!!" Ziwei Star Lord was so enraged that he spat out divine blood from his seven orifices as he watched Su Chen knead the stars he controlled like mud balls.
"Destroy? I'm helping you refine the medicinal effects!"
Su Chen roared and slammed his palms together!
[Origin Law - Collapse of All Things] and [Gravity Law - Collapse by a Billion Times] are activated simultaneously!
"Give me a massage!!!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak—!!!"
An ear-piercing, grinding sound echoed throughout the divine realm. Three hundred and sixty-five ancient main stars containing supreme laws, along with three hundred and sixty-five ancient star lords who couldn't dodge in time, were forcibly gathered together by Su Chen's terrifying demonic hand, and frantically kneaded and squeezed!
The screams of the Star Lords were completely drowned out by the deafening roar of the shattering stars. The rocky outer shell of the stars was crushed into dust, and the core of the stars within was forcibly fused with the divine essence and blood of the Star Lords!
In just a few breaths!
As Su Chen's demonic hand slowly opened...
The countless ancient stars and star lords have vanished. In their place lies a peerless treasure pill, as large as a mountain, suspended in the palm of the demon god, radiating a dazzling starlight that blinds all the gods!
The surface of this pill is covered with 365 star-shaped Dao patterns, and faint wails of the Star Lords can be heard emanating from within it.
"What a wonderful [Myriad Stars Great Tonic Pill]!"
Looking at the peerless elixir he had "conjured" in his hand, Su Chen's greed reached its peak. Without any hesitation, he raised the enormous demon god's head, opened its abyssal maw, and threw the Myriad Star Tonic Pill, which was comparable in weight to a small thousand worlds, into it in one gulp!
"Crack!!!"
Su Chen snapped his jaws shut, as if he were biting into an extremely hard rock candy. Brilliant starlight nectar flowed from the corners of his mouth, transforming into an inverted galaxy in the void!
"Gudu!"
The powerful tonic has entered my stomach!
Rumble, rumble, rumble—! !!!
After swallowing this great medicine that condensed the essence of all the stars in the God Realm, Su Chen's ten-million-foot-tall demonic avatar instantly erupted with billions of dazzling starlight rays! At this moment, the blood in his body completely transformed into a flowing galaxy, and every bone was as indestructible as an eternal star!
The last invisible barrier blocking his path to the Seventh Realm - The Supreme Position of the Great Dao began to tremble and crack violently under the impact of this violent medicinal power!
"Delicious!!! Crunchy and flavorful!! This is the kind of stir-fried beans I've been eating!!!"
Su Chen swallowed the last bit of stardust and let out a loud burp. A dazzling nebula spewed from his mouth, instantly obliterating a dilapidated immortal palace tens of thousands of miles away.
He retracted his demonic form and transformed back into the green robe, standing atop the blazing, supreme divine furnace.
His deep gaze swept past the surviving gods who were paralyzed with fear, and locked onto the very top of the thirty-three heavens of the divine realm, where a solitary ancient palace, floating in the void and exuding the fragrance of elixirs, stood—the [Doushuai Divine Palace].
Su Chen stuck out his tongue and licked away the remaining starlight liquid from the corner of his mouth, the curve of his lips becoming increasingly sinister.
"After such hearty dishes, it's time for some nourishing 'dessert'."
"I've heard that the Tushita Palace holds the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, refined by the gods over countless tribulations?"
"My minions! Follow me and shatter the Tushita Palace, and destroy that old Taoist's alchemy furnace!!!" (End of Chapter)
