Chapter 840
Cross-Border Expedition [2]
The Great Luoyuan Sea is vast and boundless.
The purplish-gold waters of the Origin Sea are actually pure, unparalleled laws and chaotic flows of concepts. Any being that has not reached the peak of the eighth realm, once it falls into it, will be instantly assimilated into nothingness without even making a splash.
Today, in this source sea that has been calm for so long.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A terrifying black warship, so massive it rivaled a vast world, violently tore through the purple-gold waves of the Origin Sea like an ancient, ferocious beast cutting through the waves.
The bow of this colossal ship is inlaid with a massive ram, crafted from the skull of a powerful being at the True Realm in the previous era—the [Breaking Source Sea Shuttle]!
Behind this main ship, tens of thousands of secondary warships followed in dense formation, blotting out the sky and exuding an aura of endless slaughter and plunder.
This is the Third Source Hunting Legion of the Burial Heaven Source Realm!
A full billion elite soldiers clad in the Blood Armor of Burial Heaven, the lowest level of whom was a True God of the Sixth Realm! And those commander-level powerhouses were all at the Seventh or Eighth Realm!
Such a force, if placed before the former High Dimensional Judgment Council, could have crushed the entire Primordial God Realm into cosmic dust with a single charge.
Zanhunyuan stood at the highest point of the main ship, his hands behind his back, letting the gale-force winds of the Source Sea beat against his heavy white bone armor.
His gaze pierced through layers of dimensional mist, locking onto the "droplet" in front of him that was emitting a faint light in the source sea.
"found it."
A cruel sneer curled at the corner of Zhanhunyuanzun's mouth.
"All troops, listen to my command!"
"Activate the Origin-Breaking Sea Shuttle! For my sake, smash that laughable dimensional barrier!"
"Boom—Buzz!!!"
With the roar of the Abyss Lord, the massive skull-shaped ramming horn on the bow of the flagship suddenly erupted with a blinding crimson light. A terrifying, supreme power, capable of ignoring all spatial laws and forcibly tearing apart the cosmic crystal wall, condensed violently at the ramming horn!
"Target: The Realm of True Origin and Immortality!"
"kill--!!!"
The billion-strong army of hunters roared in unison, and the terrifying sound waves even caused the surrounding source sea water to boil.
The massive black warship, like a world-destroying meteor that spanned an era, carried an invincible and destructive force as it slammed into the faintly glowing "droplet" in front of it!
……
……
The Realm of True Immortality.
Outside the South Gate of Heaven, tens of millions of immortal demons stood ready for battle.
Suddenly!
"Thump—————————————!!!!!"
An unprecedented and terrifying roar, which shook the entire highest plane, exploded at the very top of the sky!
The sound was like an unimaginable giant god wielding a world-destroying hammer, smashing it fiercely onto the dome of the True Origin Eternal Realm!
"Click...click click..."
Under the horrified gazes of countless realm lords and demon armies.
The True Origin Realm dimensional barrier, which Su Chen had personally refined and was known as indestructible and which even a half-step ninth realm could not shake in the slightest, actually had a terrifying crack that stretched for tens of millions of miles in the highest part of the sky!
"The sky... the sky has cracked open!" A seventh-realm world lord's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, pointing at the sky, his voice filled with uncontrollable despair.
Boom!!!
The crack was forcibly torn and widened by an extremely tyrannical and domineering external force!
Followed by.
A crimson storm, filled with decay, death, and extreme plunder, surged through the torn opening like a burst dam in the Milky Way, madly pouring into the Realm of True Origin Longevity!
The aura was so terrifying that it corroded a large, visible black hole in the sky the moment it made contact.
"Enemy attack!!!"
The Demon Lord of Chaos had eyes that were about to burst with rage. He suddenly drew the Demon Dragon Halberd of Annihilation and let out a roar that shook the entire world.
"Form ranks! Resist the enemy! We swear to defend the Eternal Heavenly Court to the death!!!"
The millions of demons roared in unison, and the Zhou Tian Du Tian Shen Sha Grand Array suddenly activated, with layers of thick, mountain-like dark purple defensive light shields soaring into the sky, attempting to block the surging crimson storm outside the Heavenly Court.
However, the dimensional gap was on full display at this moment.
"Hiss hiss hiss—"
That's an extreme gale from the Great Luo Origin Sea [Burial Heaven Origin Realm]!
The defensive light shield erected by the combined forces of millions of demons melted away at an alarming rate the moment it came into contact with the crimson storm, just like fragile ice and snow meeting the blazing sun!
"Puff puff!"
The countless demon soldiers in the front row, whose cultivation was at the sixth realm, didn't even have time to scream. Once they were hit by the aftershocks of the storm, their immortal source gold armor instantly turned into molten iron, and their flesh and soul were corroded into a pool of foul-smelling blood in the blink of an eye!
"Hold on! Hold on for me!!!"
The soul fire in the Skeleton Lord's eye sockets pulsed wildly. He pushed his half-step eighth realm cultivation to its limit, and a massive Primordial Crystal Demon Bone Dharma Image supported the heavens and earth, firmly holding back the array eye of the light shield.
Even he felt a desperate sense of strain at that moment.
The great formation is teetering on the brink of collapse!
And just then...
"Snap!!!"
The cracks in the sky widened again.
A colossal black warship, so massive it blotted out the sky, its bow adorned with terrifying skull-shaped rams, like a death ark emerging from the depths of hell, slowly, with an absolute, condescending arrogance, squeezed through the crack and descended completely upon the Realm of True Origin and Immortality!
Following closely behind were tens of thousands of secondary warships, densely packed together like a swarm of locusts!
The terrifying pressure of the billion-strong army of hunters, with their greed, bloodlust, and disdain for the creatures of the lower realms, was like a tangible tsunami that crashed down upon the entire Eternal Heaven Court!
"Puff! Puff!"
The million Realm Lords who had been incorporated into the auxiliary army instantly collapsed under the terrifying pressure that was completely outside their mortal dimension. Countless people were forced to the ground, coughing up blood, and didn't even have the courage to raise their heads.
"This...this is the army of the Great Luo Yuan Sea?!"
"It's over...it's all over. This kind of power is simply beyond our ability to resist..." An old ancestor who survived in the Xuanmie Ancient Realm closed his eyes in despair.
On the main deck of the black behemoth.
Clad in heavy white bone armor, the Soul-Slaying Abyss Lord looked down upon the Eternal Demon Army, which fought desperately like ants, and the magnificent Eternal Heavenly Court.
A sneer of utter disdain rang out from beneath the bone mask.
"Is this the power established by that so-called transcendent being?"
"A bunch of trash who barely even reach the eighth realm dare to call themselves the Heavenly Court? It's utterly ridiculous!"
Slaying Soul Abyss Lord slowly raised his right hand, and a giant horse-slaying sword radiating eerie green ghostly flames appeared in his hand.
He didn't even glance at the imperial palace not far away, but instead fixed his gaze on the Hun Tian Demon Lord and the Skeleton Lord struggling below.
"Since your master is a coward who dares not come out to die."
"Then I'll start by taking down you watchdogs, and use your blood to stain this rural puddle red!"
With a single step, the Soul-Slaying Abyss Lord vanished from the giant ship. The next instant...
As if teleporting, he traversed millions of miles and appeared directly above the defensive array of the Longevity Demon Army!
"Smash to me!!!"
With both hands gripping the sword, the Soul-Slaying Abyss Lord unleashed the ultimate source of his half-step ninth realm, carrying a terrifying sword intent capable of annihilating all souls, and fiercely slashed down at the defensive light barrier below!
"boom------------!!!!!"
With a single strike, heaven and earth fell silent!
The [Zhou Tian Du Tian Shen Sha Grand Formation], which gathers the full power of millions of demon soldiers and two half-step eighth-realm experts.
Under the overwhelming dimensional power of that strike, it couldn't even withstand half a breath!
With a loud "bang," the defensive light shield shattered into countless flying light fragments, just like glass struck by a heavy hammer!
"puff--"
The backlash from the great formation erupted instantly.
The Demon Lord of Chaos and the Corpse Lord were the first to be hit. Like kites with broken strings, the two spat out a mouthful of golden divine blood. Their bodies flew backward in the void like meteorites and crashed hard into the white jade steps in front of the Imperial Palace, creating two huge craters in the indestructible steps.
The demon army suffered heavy casualties, with countless soldiers being wiped out on the spot by the aftershocks of the blade's edge.
A knife.
Just one cut!
The Immortal Demon Army, renowned throughout the world and invincible in battle, suffered its most devastating defeat in history!
This is the terrifying strength of the truly top experts in the Great Luo Origin Sea!
"Hahaha! A bunch of chickens and dogs, utterly pathetic!"
The Soul-Slaying Abyss Lord, carrying a blood-dripping horse-slaying sword, hovered above the Heavenly Court, letting out an extremely arrogant laugh.
He turned his head, and his eyes, hidden behind the bone mask, finally fixed on the closed gates of the Longevity Imperial Palace.
"That transcendent being inside! How long are you going to hide?!"
"Watching your lackeys being slaughtered, watching your world being ravaged, you don't even have the courage to face me directly?!"
The contempt in Zhanhunyuanzun's eyes grew stronger. He raised his sword and pointed it at the gate of the Imperial Palace.
"Since you're not coming out."
"Then I, the venerable one, will personally shatter this dilapidated palace into ruins and drag you out of it like a dead dog!!!"
Before he could finish speaking...
The Origin Realm within Zhanhunyuan Venerable's body burned wildly. He raised his sword with both hands, preparing to unleash his most triumphant and deadliest strike on the Imperial Palace that symbolized the highest power in all realms!
The entire Realm of True Origin and Immortality was plunged into a deathly despair at this moment.
The million realm lords closed their eyes and awaited death, while the Hun Tian Demon Lord and the Skeleton Lord struggled to get up, but to no avail.
however.
Just a fraction of a second before the Blade of the Soul-Slaying Abyss Venerable was about to reach its peak and strike down.
"Squeak-"
A faint, yet deafeningly loud, sound of a door opening echoed from the depths of the imperial palace in the absolute silence of despair.
Followed by.
A calm, indifferent voice, devoid of any warmth or human touch, yet exuding an extreme coldness that could freeze one's soul instantly.
Like a gentle breeze, it swept across the entire Eternal Heaven.
"You just said you wanted to drag me out like a dead dog?"
"Om——"
As this sound rang out.
Time stood still.
It wasn't just that time had stopped in the True Origin Longevity Realm. Even the crimson storm pouring in from the Great Luo Origin Sea, the black behemoth hovering high in the sky, and even the sword of the Soul-Slaying Abyss Venerable, which was raised above his head and about to strike down.
At this moment, everything was abruptly brought to a standstill by an incomprehensible and irresistible "ultimate rule"!
Everything was silent.
Everyone's mind was still intact, but their bodies were completely immobile, not even a little finger.
Beneath the mask of the Soul-Slaying Abyss Lord, the eyes that were originally filled with arrogance and contempt suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints. An unprecedented, extreme terror, as if death itself had gripped his heart, instantly overwhelmed his reason!
"What...what kind of power is this?! Why is my half-step ninth realm origin completely sealed?!" He roared madly in his heart, but no sound came out.
"Da...da...da..."
Extremely gentle footsteps echoed from inside the slowly opening palace gates.
A spotless blue robe came into everyone's view.
Su Chen.
He did not manifest any terrifying form, nor did he release any earth-shattering pressure. He simply walked down the ninety-nine jade steps with his hands behind his back, like a leisurely scholar.
He didn't even glance at the Soul-Slaying Abyss Venerable who was frozen in mid-air.
Su Chen walked up to the heavily injured Hun Tian Demon Lord and Hai Zun, his gaze calmly sweeping over the long-lived demon army that had suffered heavy casualties.
"stand up."
Su Chen spoke softly.
"Buzz!"
A purple-gold aura of returning to the origin of creation emanated from his mouth, instantly enveloping the entire demon army camp.
A miracle has occurred at this moment!
The flesh and blood of the demon soldiers, corroded into blood, began to regenerate as if time had reversed; the deep, bone-revealing wounds on the bodies of the Demon Lord and the Skeleton Lord were instantly healed. Even the formations that had collapsed due to the backlash began to function perfectly again under this aura of creation!
"Resurrection from the dead...reversing cause and effect?!" The Soul-Slaying Abyss Lord, watching from mid-air, felt his fear deepen into an abyss of despair. Even Emperor Yuan could not execute such a feat so effortlessly!
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"
The Demon Lord of Chaos and the Skeleton Lord, having escaped death, were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes, and they both knelt down on the ground.
"Step back. You have done a good job. The rest is up to me."
Su Chen nodded slightly, then turned around and slowly raised his head.
For the first time, those deep, divine eyes, as vast as the Great Luo Yuan Sea, looked directly at the Soul-Slaying Abyss Venerable, who remained in mid-air with his sword raised, his white bone armor soaked in cold sweat.
Su Chen looked at him as if he were a fly encased in amber.
"A mere ant at the half-step ninth realm, leading a swarm of broken copper and scrap iron, dares to bark at my dojo."
Su Chen turned his head slightly, a cruel and arrogant sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Does your so-called Emperor of the Netherworld have some misunderstanding about the word 'returning to the truth'?"
"You...you who..." The Soul-Slaying Abyss Lord finally managed to squeeze out a hoarse voice, relying on his powerful cultivation. He wanted to struggle, wanted to self-destruct, but in this dimension absolutely controlled by Su Chen, he didn't even have the right to seek death. (End of Chapter)
