Chapter 849
Slaying the Emperor
"I have said that in my world, I am the only truth!"
Su Chen took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of the high-density lightning sphere that had collapsed to the size of a head.
Without hesitation, he stretched out his right hand and pierced directly into the extremely violent core of the thunder, grabbing the Xuanlei Yuan Emperor's trembling true spirit!
"Want a quick and painless death? I'll make your wish impossible!"
"I will extract your soul and refine your spirit to see what kind of secrets your so-called Canglan Origin Court holds that will interest me!"
"【Origin Soul Searching Technique - Stripping Away All Thoughts】!"
Su Chen exerted force with his five fingers, and a domineering and all-pervasive primordial divine consciousness, like billions of sharp steel needles, pierced deep into the true spirit of Emperor Xuan Lei Yuan!
"Aa ...
Emperor Xuanleiyuan let out a scream ten times more shrill than that of Emperor Jibingyuan before him. His memories, his understanding of the Great Dao, and the secrets hidden deep within his heart were forcibly torn apart and read layer by layer under Su Chen's ruthless soul search, like peeling an onion!
Countless images flashed through Su Chen's mind.
He saw the vast and boundless territory of the Azure Origin Court; he saw the thousands of subordinate Origin Realms that submitted to the Origin Court; he saw the Life Origin Hall within the Origin Court, where countless soul lamps of powerful beings hung.
In the end, Su Chen's gaze locked onto the deepest part of Xuan Lei Yuan Emperor's memory, a scene that Canglan Yuanting regarded as a top secret.
In that scene.
Deep within the Canglan Origin Court lies a mysterious sea area, heavily sealed off. At the very center of that sea lies a spring radiating a nine-colored, shimmering light—the [Great Luo Origin Sea Mother Spring]!
What gushed forth from that Mother Spring was not ordinary seawater from the Source Sea, but the purest and most primordial [Primordial Returning to Truth Mother Qi]! It was precisely thanks to the nourishment of this Mother Spring that the Lord of Canglan Court was able to cultivate to the terrifying late stage of the Ninth Realm of Returning to Truth within just thirty epochs, and was even secretly plotting to break through to the legendary half-step tenth realm!
"Primordial Mother Qi... Great Luo Yuan Hai Mother Spring..."
Su Chen slowly opened his eyes, and from those abyss-like black eyes burst forth two unprecedented flames of greed and fanaticism!
"Excellent! Excellent, Canglan Origin Court! I never expected that such a supreme treasure, capable of bringing about an ultimate transformation to my inner universe, would be hidden in this remote sea area!"
"Such a treasure is being wasted in the hands of you bunch of good-for-nothings. Its best destiny is to be transformed into nourishment for my inner universe!"
Su Chen's lips curled into a cruel smile as he looked at the Xuanlei Abyss Emperor's true spirit in his hand, which had become dull and lifeless due to the forced soul search.
"Your remaining value has been completely squeezed dry by me."
"Go to hell in peace."
The Origin Returning to Truth Divine Flame erupted from Su Chen's palm!
"Huff—"
In the blink of an eye, Xuan Lei Yuandi's true spirit, along with his broken Thunder Dao Fruit, was completely refined by Su Chen's Origin Divine Fire, transforming into an extremely pure Thunder Origin, which Su Chen swallowed whole.
Thus, the two Abyss Emperors who were powerful in the Great Luo Origin Sea and commanded armies of billions—Xuan Lei and Ji Bing—were both killed on the spot by Su Chen with an absolutely crushing and invincible attitude, their souls and spirits destroyed!
"Gudu."
Su Chen swallowed the essence of the Xuanlei Abyss Emperor, feeling his inner universe grow stronger once again, and nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and turned his gaze to the slaughter battlefield below, which was nearing its end.
At this moment, the massive army of billions of Canglan soldiers had been almost completely wiped out by the Changsheng Demon Army's frenzied slaughter.
The purplish-gold source sea water was stained a shocking dark red by the blood of billions of gods and demons. Countless shattered Purple Extreme Calamity Gold warships, along with severed limbs, floated on the surface of the sea, resembling a scene from a hellish abyss.
"Lord!"
The Demon Lord of Chaos and the Corpse Lord, covered in blood, led millions of murderous-looking demons to Su Chen's feet. They knelt down in unison, their voices filled with the supreme fervor of victory.
"Reporting to the lord! The entire enemy force of the hundred billion Canglan has been annihilated! Not a single one escaped!"
"The wreckage of enemy warships, divine weapons, and billions of units of vital energy have all been collected. Please make your decision, my lord!"
Su Chen looked down at the mountain of spoils and the blood-stained Source Sea below, a deep light flashing in his eyes.
"well-done."
With a wave of his sleeve, Su Chen unleashed a vast power of returning to the origin, which enveloped the entire battlefield.
"The lifeblood of these billions of high-dimensional gods and demons is an excellent tonic. Since they dare to invade my Eternal Origin Realm, then let them become the foundation for the expansion of my Eternal Origin Realm!"
"【Origin of Creation, Reciprocal Support from Realms】!"
As Su Chen's decree was issued.
Suddenly, the [Eternal Origin Realm] behind Su Chen erupted with a terrifying devouring power! The land of the Origin Realm seemed to transform into a boundless maw, directly sucking the blood-stained Origin Sea, along with the corpses of billions of gods and demons and the wreckage of warships, into the depths of the Origin Realm!
"Rumble rumble rumble—"
Having received such a massive influx of flesh and blood and a metal foundation, the area of the Longevity Origin Realm has once again begun to expand wildly at a visible rate!
The territory of the Origin Realm has expanded outward by more than ten times; the original land has become even more indestructible, and even faintly shimmers with a dark purple golden luster; the resentment and incomplete laws of those fallen seventh and eighth realm powerhouses have been completely crushed and absorbed by the Heavenly Dao of the Longevity Origin Realm, transforming into the most solid boundary defense of the Origin Realm.
Meanwhile, those immortal demons who made great contributions in battle also had their cultivation consolidated once again under the light of creation fed back from the Origin Realm, and their killing aura became even purer.
Su Chen withdrew his magic power and stood on the Origin Realm, gazing into the depths of the Great Luo Origin Sea.
"This is just an appetizer."
Su Chen's cold, domineering voice, filled with an endless desire for conquest, rang clearly in the ears of the millions of immortal demon soldiers.
"I just searched the soul of the old ghost Xuan Lei. In that Canglan Origin Court, there is a Great Luo Origin Sea Mother Spring, as well as countless treasures and resources that tempt me."
Su Chen drew the Origin Demon Blade from his waist, the tip of the blade pointing directly at the coordinates of the Azure Origin Court.
"Since they dared to strike first, this grudge cannot be left unresolved overnight!"
"Hun Tian, Skeleton Lord, heed my command!"
"Your subordinate is here!!!"
"The army needs no rest!"
Su Chen shook his green robe, and a soaring battle intent instantly tore through the sky above the Origin Sea.
"Refine those captured warship wrecks into a [Longevity War Fortress] capable of traversing the Origin Sea!"
"I, the Emperor, will personally lead the expedition!"
"Charge straight to the Azure Origin Court! Crush their gates, crush their court lord's head, uproot that Origin Sea Mother Spring, and carry it back to my Eternal Origin Realm!!!"
"Set off!!!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Shatter the azure waves! Unleash the divine might of our Heavenly Emperor!!!"
The roars of millions of demons shook billions of dimensions.
Under the leadership of Su Chen, the supreme tyrant of the extreme path, the war machine that had just gained a foothold in the Great Luo Source Sea, the Eternal Heavenly Court, without a moment's rest, transformed into an unstoppable black torrent and launched a relentless cross-realm expedition against the true overlord of this sea—the Azure Lan Source Court—in an even more ferocious and bloodthirsty manner!
……
……
at the same time.
Deep within the Great Luoyuan Sea lies the [Canglan Yuanting].
Inside the Hall of Life Source.
The main hall, which had been trembling from the extinguishing of the Netherworld Erosion Abyss Emperor's Soul Lamp, was now shrouded in a suffocating, apocalyptic, absolute silence. Just moments ago...
Under the horrified gazes of dozens of Yuanting elders and hundreds of divine generals, whose very souls trembled.
The two dazzling soul lamps hanging high at the very top of the dome represent the two trump card commanders of the Canglan Origin Court—the [Xuanlei Abyss Emperor] and the [Jibing Abyss Emperor].
At the same time, with a loud "bang," they exploded into dust everywhere!
There was no flickering, no struggle, it just exploded abruptly and completely!
This means that these two supreme beings, who possessed the peak cultivation of the early stage of the ninth realm and commanded an army of billions of elite troops, were instantly annihilated in an absolutely crushing manner before they even had time to send back a distress message!
"This...this is impossible...this is absolutely impossible..."
The Grand Elder, who was guarding the Soul Lamp, collapsed to the ground with a thud. His Dao Heart, which was at the half-step Ninth Realm, cracked severely at that moment. He stared blankly at the empty dome, muttering unconsciously.
"Xuan Lei and Ji Bing, the two Abyss Emperors... those are two powerful beings at the Returning to Truth Realm! And they have a hundred billion elite troops! They only left the Source Court less than half a day ago!"
"Could it be... that the [Supreme Origin Beast Emperor] deep within the Great Luo Origin Sea has awakened? Or... that it has been ambushed by other Origin Courts?!"
Chaos reigned inside the main hall, and a sense of panic spread rapidly among the upper echelons of Canglan Yuanting like a plague.
"Buzz————————!!!!!"
Just then.
An immense and indescribable terrifying pressure, filled with boundless rage and chilling killing intent, erupted from the Supreme Temple at the deepest part of the Canglan Origin Court!
Wherever this oppressive force passed, all the elders and divine generals in the Life Source Hall were forced to lie prostrate on the ground, their bones creaking under the unbearable pressure.
"A bunch of useless trash! What's the panic?!"
Accompanied by a roar as loud as thunder from the heavens.
A majestic figure, shrouded in blinding white light and formed entirely from the pure laws of the Great Dao, tore through the void and descended above the Hall of Life Origin.
This person is none other than the supreme ruler of the Canglan Origin Court, the unparalleled overlord who is only half a step away from the legendary tenth realm—the [Canglan Court Master]!
The Azure Court Master's eyes, hidden in the white light, were fixed on the traces left by the explosion of the Profound Lightning and the Extreme Ice Soul Lamp on the dome. Even someone as powerful as him couldn't hide the shock and solemnity that flashed deep in his eyes at this moment.
"A single, fatal blow... not even a trace of the true spirit escaped..."
The Lord of Canglan Court stretched out his hand and suddenly grabbed at the void, attempting to trace back the scene of Emperor Xuanleiyuan's fall through the remaining causal threads.
"【Origin Sea Karma Secret Technique - Reverse Light Flow】!"
"Buzz!"
A water mirror appeared before the Lord of Canglan Court.
However, the scene of Xuan Leiyuan Emperor being killed did not appear in the water mirror.
In the scene, there was only one fist, a dark gold and chaotic two colors that blotted out the sky! That fist, with an absolute domineering aura of "I am the truth, I am the origin of all things", smashed down fiercely towards the water mirror!
"what?!"
The Lord of Canglan Court was greatly alarmed. He actually felt that the fist in the water mirror was not just an image, but a direct counterattack against his divine sense, transcending the barrier of cause and effect!
"boom!!!"
The water mirror shattered with a deafening roar!
Lord Canglan let out a muffled groan, and the white light enveloping his entire body shook violently. He took half a step back, his eyes revealing extreme disbelief.
"To launch a counterattack by following the cause and effect back to my origin? Such methods... such domineering return to the true source..."
"That transcendent being who just emerged in the sinking zone is definitely not some newly promoted beginner-level Returning to Truth! He... he is a terrifying behemoth capable of overturning the entire Great Luo Yuan Sea's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure)!!!"
Lord Canglan finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
The deaths of Xuan Lei and Ji Bing, along with the annihilation of their billions of troops, were an absolutely unbearable blow to the Canglan Origin Court! Even more terrifying was that the monster had clearly set its sights on them!
"Issue my supreme decree!!!"
Without any hesitation, the Lord of Canglan Court's vast and majestic voice instantly resounded throughout the entire Canglan Origin Court and thousands of surrounding affiliated Origin Realms.
"Gen-tei has entered the highest level of combat readiness!"
"Recall all the Yuan Emperors who are fighting abroad! Awaken the ancient ancestors who are sleeping in the forbidden land of Yuan Court!"
"Activate the [Azure Sky Origin Sea Grand Array]!"
The Lord of Canglan's gaze turned incredibly cold and solemn.
"A formidable enemy is about to breach the gates! The entire army must defend Yuanting to the death!"
"Anyone who dares to desert in the face of battle shall have their entire family wiped out, and their soul banished to the Netherworld Sea to suffer eternal torment!!!"
……
With a command from the Lord of Canglan Court, this colossal power, which had ruled the surrounding seas for countless epochs, instantly tightened all its defenses, like an ancient tortoise.
Countless ancient formations were activated, and armies numbering in the hundreds of billions formed impregnable walls around the Source Court. Those old monsters who usually secluded themselves in seclusion also broke free, exuding a decaying yet terrifying aura, ready for battle.
This is the first time since its establishment that Canglan Yuanting has been forced to adopt such a defensive posture of all its members retreating into a turtling shell.
And all of this was because of one person.
A tyrant, wielding a blood-dripping longsword and riding a war fortress forged from the wreckage of an enemy warship, crossed the endless source sea and charged fiercely toward their direction!
……
In the void of the Great Luo Source Sea.
A dark-colored fortress, resembling a ferocious beast, is rapidly surging forward at an incredible speed.
The very top of the fortress.
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, facing the raging gale of the Origin Sea, his eyes deep and cold.
At the edge of his vision, he could already vaguely see the outline of a vast divine court woven from countless stars and the great world.
In Su Chen's eyes, the layered defensive array, radiating multicolored light, looked like a coward tightly wrapped up in fear.
"Activate the protective array? Everyone defend to the death?"
Su Chen looked at the Canglan Yuanting, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and a cold, extremely disdainful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
He slowly raised his right hand and grasped the hilt of the Origin Demon Blade at his waist.
"In the face of absolute crushing power, no matter how hard a tortoise shell is, it is nothing more than a turtle shell that can be shattered with a single blow."
"Canglan Yuanting".
"Wash your necks."
"My blade is here to drink blood!!!" (End of Chapter)
