Chapter 837
The Battle of Concepts
In an instant!
This absolutely void passage, where even the concept of space doesn't exist, was forcibly opened by Su Chen's vast and boundless inner universe!
Countless galaxies suddenly manifested behind Su Chen; the faith and fortune of trillions of beings transformed into rolling golden dragons, swirling and roaring in the sea of stars; the three thousand Great Daos transformed into pillars supporting the sky, firmly holding up this void world!
"boom!!!"
The "singularity" that the First Cause smashed down contained the weight of tens of thousands of dead worlds and crashed hard into Su Chen's real, manifested inner universe barrier!
This is a clash between new life and death!
This is the ultimate battle between independent will and underlying programs!
"Click-clack-clack—"
On Su Chen's inner universe barrier, countless terrifying cracks, resembling a spider web, instantly appeared. The power of that dimensional reduction attack was too terrifying; even Su Chen's inner universe, at the half-step ninth realm, was somewhat unable to withstand it.
"Warning... Target size exceeds critical value... Dimensional reduction attack blocked..." For the first time, the voice of the First Cause carried a hint of warning.
"Blocked? No! I will not only block it!"
Su Chen stood at the center of the inner universe, his body covered in blood, his skin cracked inch by inch, a backlash from the damage to the inner universe.
But the sneer on his lips grew increasingly manic.
"I will also—swallow it!!!"
Su Chen suddenly raised both hands upwards, like a giant god Pangu who created the world!
"Inner Universe, give it to the original body—reverse devouring!!!"
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a huge gap opened up in Su Chen's inner universe barrier, like a giant maw of an abyss, swallowing the falling "singularity" whole!
"Gudu!"
The instant the singularity entered his abdomen, Su Chen's inner universe erupted in a super explosion worthy of being recorded in the annals of the multiverse!
The laws and masses of tens of thousands of dead worlds raged wildly in the inner universe, attempting to burst Su Chen's world from the inside.
But Su Chen was prepared.
The half of the prehistoric, deathly power within him, originating from the "Lord of the Withered Profound Abyss," played a crucial role at this moment.
"Since they are all dead universes, let them return to the prehistoric nothingness!"
"For me—refine it!!!"
Su Chen used his supreme will at the half-step ninth realm to forcibly suppress and obliterate the dead cosmic origins, ultimately transforming them into the purest nourishment, which frantically nourished his inner universe.
But outside the home...
The first reason was that the pure white light source realized that its "dimensional reduction attack" had not only failed to obliterate the target, but had instead been devoured and absorbed by it.
Its eternal light began to flicker intensely.
"Logical conflict... Error variable cannot be resolved..."
"Target behavior, incomprehensible."
In the underlying logic of the First Cause, there is neither "greed" nor "madness." It cannot understand why a being would dare to swallow destructive energy that is enough to burst itself.
"Can't understand?"
Su Chen's blood-soaked figure, after devouring tens of thousands of cosmic origins, not only did not weaken, but became even more terrifying and indescribable than before!
He wiped the golden divine blood from the corner of his mouth, and his pair of divine eyes, reflecting the endless stars, stared intently at the shimmering light source.
"That's right, you can't understand it. Because you're just a program, while the real you is a person with flesh and blood, desires, and ambitions!"
"You're done."
"Now, it's my turn to make a move!"
A cold glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes. He ignored the chaotic threads attacking him. He took a heavy step forward, his entire body like a dark golden bolt of lightning shooting upwards against the heavens, instantly traversing the endless void and appearing directly above the [Well of Origin]!
He figured it out.
Although that light source was a manifestation of the will of the First Cause, its true source of power was the Well of Origin below, which had given birth to countless universes!
Once the connection between the light source and the well is severed, the first cause is simply a clump of water without roots!
"You old geezer, your energy reservoir, I gladly accept it!"
Su Chen gripped the Origin Demon Blade in a reverse grip, raising both hands high above his head. He poured the power of the tens of thousands of cosmic origins he had just absorbed, along with all his cultivation at the half-step ninth realm, into the blade!
A dark golden blade of light, hundreds of millions of feet long, carrying the supreme and domineering intent to sever all cause and effect and all concepts, slashed fiercely down at the [Well of Origin] that was spewing cosmic bubbles!
"【Origin of the Ultimate Path - Great Thousand Returns to Ruins - Severance of the Source】!!!"
"Warning! Core database under deadly threat! Activate defense mechanisms!"
The First Cause sensed the terror of Su Chen's strike and immediately mobilized the laws of the entire Great Void Sea, condensing billions of layers of Absolute Truth Barrier above the Well of Origin.
"Can it be blocked?!"
Su Chen roared like thunder.
"Sizzle————————!!!!!"
There was no earth-shattering noise.
Those billions of layers of supposedly indestructible absolute truth barriers were like fragile paper, sliced through layer by layer, before Su Chen's do-or-die, peak strike that combined the foundations of the present and prehistoric eras!
The blade's edge swept straight in, unstoppable!
final!
"when--------!!!"
A deep, muffled sound, as if striking the heart of multiple universes.
Su Chen's Origin Demon Blade slammed fiercely into the edge of the [Well of Origin]!
"Click...click click..."
Under the "gaze" of the first cause's frantically flashing light source.
The Origin Well, which had nurtured countless eras and represented the source of all things, was actually cleaved in two by Su Chen's extremely tyrannical strike, leaving a terrifying crack tens of thousands of miles long!
"Boom!!!"
With the appearance of cracks.
The perfectly cyclical laws of creation and destruction within the Well of Origin instantly descended into extreme chaos. Countless nascent cosmic bubbles leaked from the cracks, triggering a series of devastating explosions in the void.
The light of the lofty First Cause dimmed by a full thirty percent after losing the continuous supply of primal energy from the Well of Origin!
"Error! Core power connection lost..."
"The system... has entered a logical loop..."
The light source of the First Cause trembled violently in mid-air, and the chaotic threads that had been strangling Su Chen fell limply down like puppets that had lost their power.
It is not a true living being after all. Once its underlying logic is broken and its energy source is cut off, its seemingly invincible computing and deductive abilities will instantly become paralyzed.
"Hahahahaha!"
"What bullshit Creator, what invincible First Cause! Before my ultimate path, you're nothing but a hornet's nest that can be easily popped!"
Standing above the Well of Origin, Su Chen felt the rapidly waning pressure of the First Cause. The greed and fervor in his eyes finally erupted completely at this moment!
He sheathed the Origin Demon Blade.
It would be such a waste to use a knife to kill this kind of prey!
Su Chen took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of the dim ultimate light source.
"You've set so many rules and defined so many concepts. But you've overlooked one thing."
Su Chen stretched out his two demonic hands, covered with dark gold dragon scales and gray-black Dao patterns, and like an ancient demon god hunting its prey, he grabbed the light source that represented the first cause of all things from the left and right without any mercy!
"Chucky!"
The residual laws of creation and destruction within the light source scorched Su Chen's hands relentlessly, yet he didn't even flinch.
"That is—in the face of absolute greed and power, all logic is bullshit!"
"Tear it open for me!!!"
"Roar————————!!!!" Su Chen let out a furious roar that shattered the absolute void.
His arms were bulging with veins, and he ripped them apart violently!
"Sizzle!!!"
That supreme source of light, which had ruled countless eras across multiple universes, was actually torn in two by Su Chen using his terrifying brute force at the half-step ninth realm!
The pure white light transformed into a shower of light that scattered across the void.
Su Chen, like a ferocious beast that had been starving for millions of epochs, suddenly opened his abyssal maw, and the Gluttony God Ring behind his head expanded to its limit!
"swallow!!!"
Without the slightest hesitation, without the utmost pity.
Su Chen swallowed the two halves of the torn First Cause light source, along with the scattered laws of creation and concepts of destruction around it, into his bottomless belly!
"Gudu!"
The moment the first cause completely disappeared into Su Chen's mouth.
The entire Great Void Sea, the entire outer realm, and even the countless heavens and myriad worlds below.
At this moment, time, space, cause and effect, and destiny are all intertwined.
Everything fell into absolute stillness.
All things have lost their origin, and all living beings have lost their definition.
Only that arrogant man, standing amidst pure white nothingness, wearing a tattered blue robe and covered in blood.
He closed his eyes.
……
……
"boom------------!!!!!"
I don't know how much time passed; perhaps it was a breath, perhaps an era.
The moment Su Chen swallowed the First Cause, his inner universe underwent the most thorough and earth-shattering ultimate transformation in history!
The light source of the First Cause did not explode in Su Chen's inner universe, but instead transformed into the most primordial and purest [Truth Fluid].
This fluid instantly flowed through every galaxy, every inch of space, and every law in Su Chen's inner universe.
It is repairing the defects in Su Chen's inner universe, and it is reorganizing and redefining the complex laws plundered from all the heavens and myriad worlds!
If the previous Su Chen was the strongest "variable" in this multiverse, then...
Now, after he has completely digested and integrated the source code of the "Creator".
He is the new Creator! He is the new First Cause in this multiverse!
"Crack!"
That invisible barrier that had troubled countless eras, blocked the Great Elder, and blocked the Lord of the Withered Profound Abyss.
Inside Su Chen's body, it was like a fragile window paper, which he easily pierced with a single finger.
Boom!!!
An aura that defies description using words like "powerful" or "terrifying" slowly emanated from Su Chen's body.
This aura lacked the domineering power to overwhelm the heavens, and the sharpness to annihilate the ages.
It's very peaceful.
It was as calm as a gentle breeze that caresses the hillside in the early morning, or a shooting star that streaks across the night sky.
But it was this tranquility that allowed the [Well of Origin], which had just been split open, to heal completely in an instant and obediently submit to Su Chen's feet.
Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes no longer held the illusion of stars falling, nor the killing and madness.
His eyes became crystal clear, like two ancient wells that encompassed all things in the world.
He looked down at his hands.
The original Extreme Demon Body, covered with dark gold dragon scales and gray-black Dao patterns, has now returned to its original state, transforming into a crystal-clear and flawless physical body.
"Is this... the Ninth Realm?"
Su Chen's voice was very soft, but it instantly spread throughout the entire Absolute Void Passage, even penetrating the Epoch Graveyard and echoing throughout the Great Void Sea.
"It is neither an accumulation of power nor the control of laws."
Instead, it is about returning to one's true nature.
Su Chen smiled slightly, a smile that conveyed a sense of transcendence, as if he had seen through all illusions.
After entering the ninth realm, he finally understood why the Grand Elder and the Lord of Ku Xuanyuan had failed.
Because they are always pursuing how to control the world and how to become stronger.
But the true essence of the Ninth Realm lies in "I am the world".
Su Chen stood there, without needing to deliberately activate any cultivation techniques or manipulate any laws.
With a single thought, this pure white void can instantly transform into a vibrant universe; with a wave of his hand, prehistoric behemoths that have been dead for an epoch can be instantly resurrected.
He devoured the First Cause, merging the concepts of creation and destruction.
Su Chen is no longer a simple cultivator.
He is the absolute, unique, and supreme being in this multiverse system—the [Return to Truth Realm: Origin Ruler]!
"call……"
Su Chen let out a soft breath.
He did not linger in this pure white space that represented the origin of all things.
He turned around, his deep gaze piercing through endless dimensions, directly seeing the [Eternal Heavenly Court] standing at the highest point of the outer realm.
He saw the Demon Lord of Hun Tian and the Corpse Lord, and he saw the myriad realm lords who worshipped him.
"It's time to go back."
Su Chen took a step forward.
There was no tearing of space, no spatial jumps.
He simply took a step.
next interest.
His figure directly crossed the Great Void Sea, the Graveyard of Epochs, and the endless Void Gale.
Like a god descending to earth, it appeared silently before the supreme Origin Emperor's Throne in the Longevity Emperor Palace.
Su Chen slowly turned around, lifted the hem of his green robe, and sat steadily on the imperial throne.
He looked down at the vast and boundless Heavenly Court of Immortality, and down at the prosperous and flourishing myriad worlds.
The Ninth Realm has been achieved, and all realms have been unified.
This supreme overlord, who emerged from the lower realm's library and swept across the world, devouring all laws and slaying gods and Buddhas, finally reached the pinnacle of this world.
"Next, it seems we should go and see if there are even wider 'ponds' beyond these multiple universes..."
A lazy yet infinitely expectant smile curled at the corners of Su Chen's lips. (End of Chapter)
