Chapter 826
Refining the Primordial Beginning
Beyond the boundary lies a void as vast as the sea, eternally silent and still.
Su Chen's grand decree, "Those who obey me prosper, those who defy me die," was like an primordial storm that transcended the concepts of time and space, sweeping away billions of cosmic bubbles in this multiverse system within a few breaths.
Those Heavenly Wills and Realm Lords, hidden deep within the universes and high above all, were now trembling in their souls, as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Through the dimensional crystal wall, they could vaguely sense the supreme pressure that had been entrenched at the highest peak outside the realm and had just annihilated the entire High Dimensional Judgment Council.
No one dared to utter the slightest question.
Before absolute power, any conspiracy, scheme, or ancient foundation is as laughable as a candle flickering in the wind. The High Dimensional Judgment Council ruled the outer realms for countless epochs—how unassailable was that? Yet today, seven councilors have fallen, millions of Judgment troops have vanished, and even the Epoch Lord who survived the Great Cataclysm—the Grand Elder—had his true spirit crushed, and even his Dao Fruit stripped away!
Who would dare to challenge such a ruthless person who defies the heavens and conquers the Dao, stepping on the corpses of gods to reach the pinnacle?
"call--"
Above the ruins of the Primordial Divine Realm, Su Chen exhaled a long breath of turbid air mixed with a faint chaotic current.
He ignored the surviving cultivators trembling in the shadows below, and did not immediately go to those cosmic bubbles to assert his dominance. For him, who had stepped into the [Eighth Realm, Mid-Stage], conquering those lower-dimensional universes was a matter of mere blinking. What he needed to do most now was to stabilize his realm and thoroughly digest the immense power gained from this unprecedented battle.
"The Great Thousand Dao Core, which is half-step into the ninth realm, is indeed extraordinary."
Su Chen sat cross-legged in the void, his eyes slightly closed, his mind sinking into the origin inner universe within his body.
In the deepest part of that vast and boundless inner universe, a rhombus-shaped crystal, radiating a nine-colored, shimmering light and inscribed with countless runes representing the birth and death of eras, floats silently in the void. This is the culmination of the Great Elder's lifelong cultivation—the Great Thousand Dao Core.
"Refine it!"
Su Chen formed an ancient Dao seal with his hands in front of his chest, and the Origin Divine Power within his body instantly transformed into a sky full of black and gold true fire, tightly enveloping the Great Thousand Dao Core.
"Buzzing—"
The Great Thousand Dao Core trembled violently, with a wisp of the Epoch Dao Lord's instinctive will still attempting to resist. However, before Su Chen's domineering and unparalleled "Origin Devouring" law, such resistance appeared utterly pale and powerless.
"boom!"
With a muffled bang, the outer shell of the Great Thousand Dao Core was forcibly refined by the Origin True Fire, creating a crack.
In an instant, a powerful and extremely pure high-dimensional primordial force, as vast as a boundless ocean, poured out through the crack, like a bursting dam of a galaxy, frantically washing over Su Chen's limbs and bones!
"Such pure fragments of laws!"
Su Chen secretly praised it. This source not only contained the Grand Elder's understanding of the endless ages of the outer realm, but also contained a trace of "primordial mother energy" from the very beginning of the birth of this multiverse.
At this moment, Su Chen's physical body erupted with a dazzling dark golden divine light. Every cell in his muscles, which were as if cast from divine iron, was frantically devouring these high-dimensional origins, undergoing some indescribable and extreme transformation.
His bones became even more translucent, with faint sounds of the Great Dao flowing within them; his blood transformed into a viscous, dark gold liquid, each drop as heavy as a star, containing terrifying vital energy powerful enough to crush a small world.
More importantly, it is his soul and inner universe.
As the Great Thousand Dao Core continued to dissolve, the boundary of Su Chen's inner universe began to expand outward at a terrifying speed that exceeded the speed of light!
The inner universe, originally the size of only tens of thousands of galaxies, expanded billions of times in just a few days. Countless dormant stars were illuminated, and amidst the churning chaos, even the most primordial laws of life began to faintly emerge.
"The eighth realm is indescribable. At this stage, the degree of perfection of the inner universe determines the upper limit of one's strength."
Su Chen closed his eyes and concentrated, guiding those higher-dimensional laws to construct a perfect cycle of rules within his inner universe.
War, order, fate, time, space...
The laws of the seven giants that were previously devoured, as well as the laws of epochal change of the Grand Elder, were refined by Su Chen's all-encompassing "Great Dao of Origin," discarding the dross and retaining the essence, and finally transformed into the pillar that supports the operation of Su Chen's inner universe.
Spring goes and autumn comes; time seems to lose its meaning in this place beyond the boundary.
A full century has passed.
"Crack!"
A very faint yet clear sound, as if the world had been created, came from inside Su Chen's body.
That Great Thousand Dao Core, which was halfway to the ninth realm, was finally completely refined into nothingness by him.
"boom--------!!!!!"
Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of dark golden divine light, as if they were tangible, pierced through the endless darkness of the outer realm and shot out hundreds of millions of light-years away!
He slowly stood up, with no violent aura emanating from his body; all his power was perfectly contained within his divine form. Yet, simply by standing there, the surrounding space involuntarily submitted to him and collapsed, as if he were the source and end of all the rules of this world.
[Eighth Realm - Indescribable - Mid-Stage Peak]!
With the help of the Grand Elder's Dao Fruit, Su Chen not only completely stabilized his realm, but also took a big step forward. He was only a thin veil away from the late stage of the eighth realm.
"The accumulation of power has reached a critical point. Next, it will require endless fortune and the faith of all living beings to temper this supreme Dao heart."
Su Chen lowered his head and looked down at the shattered ruins of the Primordial God Realm beneath his feet.
This place, once the most sacred center of power in the outer realms, has now been reduced to a desolate wasteland.
"Now that the old order has collapsed, a new tradition should be established."
Su Chen waved his sleeve, and a grand voice echoed in the silent void.
"The Eternal Heaven should not exist only in the lower realms. I will establish an unparalleled celestial court that will never fall at the highest point of this realm beyond, to suppress the eternal destiny of these multiple universes!"
"Remodeling!"
With Su Chen's command, he pressed his hands down suddenly in the air!
"Rumble rumble rumble—"
An overwhelming and unstoppable force of creation from the origin poured out from his palm, enveloping the ruins of the Primordial Divine Realm, which spanned hundreds of millions of miles.
Those fragments of the broken continent floating in the void, those ancient divine peaks that had been severed, those shattered array crystals... under the pull of Su Chen's extraordinary power of creation, they began to converge and recombine towards the center as if time had reversed!
"Congeal!"
Su Chen's eyes flashed like lightning, and he spoke with the words "Heavenly Law".
He extracted the chaotic primordial energy from beyond the boundary, transforming it into a surging celestial river that irrigated the ruins.
The once dull and dilapidated purple-gold divine soil, nourished by the primordial chaos energy, instantly burst forth with vitality and transformed into an indestructible, supreme immortal golden earth.
"That's not enough!"
Su Chen's gaze pierced through the void, locking onto the tens of thousands of massive stars around him that had become dead stars due to the aftershocks of the previous battle.
"Snatch!" With a grab in the air, he forcibly ripped tens of thousands of enormous stars from their respective orbits, sending them flying like marbles into the sky above the divine realm that was being reshaped.
"Refine stars into bricks, forge my Heavenly Court!"
Su Chen unleashed dark golden Origin True Fire from his eyes, refining and compressing tens of thousands of dead stars in mid-air, ultimately transforming them into massive rocks radiating immense stellar power.
Under Su Chen's control of his divine sense, these boulders were rapidly stacked and assembled like building blocks.
In just a few months.
A magnificent heavenly court, so grand that words cannot describe it, exuding the power to suppress all heavens and myriad realms, suddenly rose from the absolute void of this realm beyond!
This Heavenly Court was built on the purple-gold divine soil of the Primordial Divine Realm, with countless stars as its bricks and tiles. Around the Heavenly Court, there were nine hundred and ninety-nine star rivers forming a moat of pure laws. Inside the Heavenly Court, palaces and pavilions stretched for hundreds of millions of miles, and the dome of each palace was inlaid with a miniature version of the core of the Great Thousand World, radiating an inextinguishable light.
And at the very center and highest point of the Heavenly Court.
Standing tall is the [Eternal Life Imperial Palace], which pierces straight into the void!
The gate of the Imperial Palace was forged from the remnants of the "Thirty-Three Layers of Primordial Annihilation Array" that Su Chen shattered with a single strike. The residual extreme killing aura on it was enough to instantly annihilate any unscrupulous person who approached.
Inside the imperial palace, the [Origin Imperial Throne], carved from Chaos Divine Iron and the Grand Elder's withered wooden cane (a section of the ancestral root of the Jianmu tree), quietly exudes an unparalleled majesty that overlooks the ages.
"Mission accomplished."
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back on the huge white jade plaza of the Eternal Heavenly Court, looking at the supreme lineage he had personally created, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
The scale and foundation of this celestial court far surpass those of the former High Dimensional Judgment Council. It is like an ancient behemoth lurking in the void, ready to devour and suppress all those who defy it in this multiverse.
However, looking at the empty, magnificent but lifeless Heavenly Court, Su Chen frowned slightly.
"The palace was completed, but it was empty."
"Although I prefer tranquility, it would be too shabby and unbecoming of me if such a supreme heavenly court that suppresses all realms didn't even have a gatekeeper or a servant to run errands."
Su Chen turned around, his gaze passing over the boundary of the Heavenly Court, piercing through the endless void beyond the boundary, and finally looking towards an extremely remote and tiny cosmic bubble.
That universe was the "hometown" where he fought his way up from the mortal realm to the immortal realm, and where he finally left behind his lineage—[Lower Realm·Eternal Heaven]!
There, there was a demonic army that had followed him through countless eras, and his loyal followers such as the Hun Tian Demon Lord and the Skeleton Lord.
"Now that I have ascended to the pinnacle beyond the boundary and established this supreme heavenly court, those former ministers who once helped me expand my territory in the mud should also enjoy the supreme glory of being the master of all realms."
A gentle yet domineering smile appeared on Su Chen's lips.
"When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Now that I have established myself here, I will bring up the entire Eternal Heaven of the lower realm!"
Breaking down dimensional barriers and guiding beings from lower realms into the outer realms was considered an absolute taboo and an impossible task by the previous High Dimensional Judgment Council.
Because the laws of the outer realms are too advanced and too violent, any low-dimensional being that comes into contact with them, even a powerful emperor, will be instantly crushed into mincemeat by the high-dimensional laws.
But Su Chen is different.
He is an eighth-realm powerhouse who wields the "Origin," and his Dao is an existence that transcends all dimensional rules!
"Dimensional Crystal Wall, open for me!"
Su Chen's smile vanished, his expression becoming extremely solemn. He did not use the Origin Demon Blade, but instead slowly raised his right hand, his index finger together like a sword, and a dazzling dark gold Origin Sword Light condensed at his fingertip.
He slashed fiercely at the void, towards the direction of the cosmic bubble in the lower realm!
"Sizzle————————!!!!"
This stroke was like the first ray of dawn after the creation of the world!
A massive spatial rift, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, was forcibly torn open by Su Chen in the indestructible absolute void beyond the boundary!
This rift does not lead to an ordinary folded space, but directly ignores the dimensional suppression of the multiverse. It is like a spacetime tunnel that runs through ten heavens and nine earths, and connects straight to the Eternal Heaven in the lower realm!
"Boom!"
The instant the spacetime tunnel formed, an extremely violent extraterrestrial gale attempted to flow back into the lower realm through the crack. If this gale were allowed to enter, the tiny cosmic bubble would be instantly blown to ashes.
"town!"
Su Chen snorted coldly and pressed down with his left hand.
A vast surge of primordial divine power transformed into a barrier of light, firmly blocking the raging extraterrestrial winds outside the tunnel. At the same time, Su Chen released his unparalleled Dao divine sense, which descended majestically into the sky above the Lower Realm's Eternal Heaven through the spacetime tunnel!
……
……
The lower realm is the Eternal Heaven.
Since Su Chen broke through the void and ascended alone to the outer realm, this universe has enjoyed a long period of peace.
The Demon Lord of Hun Tian, the Skeleton Lord, and other demonic giants, strictly followed Su Chen's decree before his departure, guarding the temple of the Eternal Heaven, training their army day and night, daring not to slacken in the slightest.
However, their sense of loneliness and anticipation only grew stronger with each passing day.
The Lord has ascended to that legendary, indescribable, and supreme realm. But these former subordinates, limited by their aptitude and cultivation level, are forever confined to this small pond, never again able to follow the Lord in conquering the wider world.
For those once-powerful demon generals who craved endless slaughter, this feeling was worse than death.
On the plaza of the Temple of Eternal Life.
Clad in heavy armor, the Demon Lord of Chaos gazed up at the deep starry sky and let out a heavy sigh. His cultivation at the peak of the sixth realm was already top-tier in this lower realm, but in the outer realms, he probably wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder.
"I wonder if, in that realm beyond, Your Majesty has already displayed your divine might and suppressed all the gods and Buddhas..." The hollow eye sockets of the Skeleton Lord flickered with eerie green soul fire, and his voice was filled with a hint of fanaticism and melancholy.
"Your Majesty possesses extraordinary talent and will surely be able to sweep away all obstacles. It is only a pity that our cultivation is too shallow to serve you as a dog or a horse." The Demon Lord of Chaos clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms.
Just as the two were sighing deeply...
"boom------------!!!!!"
The entire lower universe was suddenly struck by an unprecedented and violent earthquake without any warning!
This is not a natural disaster, but a mad tremor originating from the deepest rules of the universe! (End of Chapter)
