Chapter 850
One Strike Shatters the Source Court!
The Great Luoyuan Sea is raging with turbulent waves.
The purplish-gold waters of the Origin Sea surged and roared in the void, each wave containing the immense power of the Heavenly Dao capable of tearing apart the entire world. However, at the very center of this vast and boundless Azure Sea, a suffocating, tomb-like absolute silence had fallen.
【Canglan Yuanting】.
This supreme divine court, which has ruled over thousands of surrounding Origin Realms and has been passed down for countless eras, has today fully revealed its terrifying foundation that is enough to make the Great Luo Origin Sea tremble.
Outside the Divine Court, the tens of thousands of enormous stars that were originally scattered throughout the Sea of Origin, serving as sentry towers, have all been ignited, transforming into killing array eyes that spew destructive source light. Hundreds of billions of elite troops from the Origin Court, clad in heavy armor and wielding supreme source weapons, stand like an endless ocean of metal, arrayed firmly before the twelve layers of the Divine Court's boundary.
Above that army, hundreds of Daoist Dharma images floated, exuding decay, age, yet terrifying power!
These are all ancient ancestors of the Canglan Origin Court who, over the past thirty eras, claimed to have passed away but in reality sealed themselves underground using secret methods, reaching the [half-step ninth realm]! In order to deal with today's annihilation, the Canglan Court Lord did not hesitate to awaken them all.
Moreover, at the very core of the Divine Court, an unparalleled pillar of light, radiating nine-colored glazed light, pierced the heavens and the earth, reaching straight into the Origin Sea's sky. That was the primordial maternal energy emanating from the highest foundation of the Azure Origin Court—the [Great Luo Origin Sea Mother Spring]!
Under the blessing of this primordial energy, the protective array of the Azure Origin Court—the Azure Origin Sea Array—was activated to its unprecedented twelve-fold limit! Hundreds of millions of layers of defensive light curtains interwoven with the truths of the Great Dao enveloped the entire Divine Court like an indestructible ancient divine egg.
Repressed.
Extreme repression.
The army of hundreds of billions, along with hundreds of half-step True Immortal Ancestors, all held their breath and stared intently at the churning purple-gold source sea directly in front of them.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
Suddenly, an extremely muffled rumble, as if it were stepping on everyone's hearts, slowly came from the far reaches of the Origin Sea, passing through multiple dimensions.
With each roar, the purple-gold waters of the Great Luoyuan Sea would frantically recede to both sides, as if making way for some unspeakable supreme monarch to reach the heavens.
"They're here..."
An ancient ancestor who was halfway to the ninth realm gripped the dragon-headed cane tightly with his withered hands, and his turbid eyes blazed with unprecedented solemnity and horror.
In the suddenly constricted pupils of all the Yuanting garrison soldiers.
An indescribably massive [Eternal War Fortress], its entire body a dark black color, resembling a primordial world-destroying beast swimming in the Origin Sea, slowly broke through the layers of Origin Sea mist and appeared in the sight of the Azure Origin Court!
This war fortress was forcibly forged by the Hun Tian Demon Lord and the Skeleton Lord using the wreckage of billions of enemy warships they had captured, under the power of Su Chen's Origin Creation. Atop the fortress, tens of millions of immortal demon soldiers emanated a murderous aura that soared to the heavens, like a pack of ancient wolves that had smelled blood.
And at the very top of that war fortress, above that enormous ramming horn.
A green robe fluttered in the wind.
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back.
He didn't reveal any earth-shattering Dharma form, nor did he release even the slightest bit of pressure. He was like a mortal scholar strolling alone in his own backyard, his expression languid, his eyes deep, quietly observing the Canglan Yuanting ahead, which seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.
However, this abyss-like calm made the hundreds of billions of troops in the Canglan Origin Court feel a desperate sense of oppression that was billions of times more terrifying than the collapse of the star sea!
"This is... the legendary Azure Origin Court?"
Su Chen's voice wasn't loud, but under his supreme status of [Ninth Realm - Return to Truth], his words were like heavenly sounds that became law, ignoring the barrier of the billions of protective arrays, and resounding clearly deep within the true spirits of every Origin Court guard!
Su Chen shook his head slightly, a hint of undisguised disappointment and contempt flashing in his eyes.
"I originally thought that the place that those two idiots, Xuan Lei and Ji Bing, were so proud of must be some kind of dragon's den or tiger's lair."
"After all that, it's just a bigger tortoise shell, with a bunch of trembling turtles cowering inside."
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
A massive army of hundreds of billions, including hundreds of patriarchs, were being openly insulted by Su Chen, yet not a single one dared to utter a word in rebuttal. The tragic deaths of Emperor Xuan Lei Yuan and Emperor Ji Bing Yuan were still fresh in their minds. Faced with this peerless demon who had swallowed a ninth-realm expert whole, who would dare to provoke him at this moment?
"Your Excellency, please don't be so arrogant."
Just when this deathly silence and oppressive atmosphere were about to drive people to the brink of collapse.
"boom------------!!!!!"
In the deepest part of the Canglan Origin Court, a vast and boundless, extremely pure, Great Dao pressure suddenly erupted from the nine-colored pillar of light that pierced the sky!
As soon as this pressure was released, the raging waters of the Great Luo Yuan Sea instantly calmed down, and countless Heavenly Dao Laws transformed into golden lotuses, blooming in the void.
Immediately afterwards, a majestic phantom, shrouded in blinding white light and entirely formed from the laws of returning to truth, rose slowly from the depths of the Divine Court, eventually transforming into a supreme deity hundreds of millions of feet tall, facing Su Chen on the war fortress from afar!
【Lord of Canglan Court】!
The unparalleled overlord of the late stage of the Ninth Realm of Returning to Truth, the true uncrowned king of this sea!
"Master! The Master has emerged from seclusion!!!"
Upon seeing this imposing figure, the billions of troops of Canglan Yuanting grasped at a last straw, erupting in earth-shattering cheers, their morale instantly soaring.
The Lord of Canglan Court looked down at Su Chen from his high position. His eyes, hidden in the white light, revealed an absolute indifference that came from someone who had long held a high position and wielded the power of life and death.
"I admit that you, young man, do have some skills. To be able to reverse the Xuan Lei and Ji Bing while only just entering the Returning to Truth realm, your foundation is truly exceptional, even in the countless eras of the Great Luo Origin Sea."
The voice of the Lord of Canglan Court was loud and majestic, with a tone that sounded like he was bestowing a handout.
"But the waters of the Great Luo Origin Sea are far deeper than you imagine. Do you think that by killing Xuan Lei you can challenge the supreme authority of my Canglan Origin Court?"
The Lord of Canglan slowly extended a hand and pointed at Su Chen.
"Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I will grant you a way out today. Immediately dispel your so-called Heavenly Court of Immortality, hand over your Dao Fruit of Returning to Truth, and open your true spirit so that I may plant the 'Azure Slave Seal'!"
"As long as you obediently become one of my alpha wolves, I can guarantee your eternal life. Otherwise..."
Lord Canglan suddenly waved his hand.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The countless layers of array protecting the Origin Court erupted with dazzling killing light, and hundreds of patriarchs at the half-step ninth realm simultaneously unleashed their natal magic weapons, and the killing intent of a trillion-strong army materialized.
"Otherwise, today will be the day you die! I will skin you alive and tear out your tendons, and throw your true spirit into the Mother Spring of the Source Sea, tormenting you day and night, making you wish you were dead!"
Faced with the Lord of Canglan's combination of kindness and coercion, and his arrogant attempts to win him over and threaten him.
Su Chen stood atop the Fortress of the War of Immortality.
He showed no anger, nor did he draw his sword. He simply raised his hand slowly, picked at his ear, and then gently blew on his fingertips.
The gesture carried an indescribable contempt and nonchalance.
"Are you finished?"
Su Chen slightly raised his eyelids, and in his deep, ancient well-like black eyes, a dark golden extreme black flame was throbbing wildly.
"You've rambled on and on with so much nonsense, but I only listened to one sentence."
Su Chen's gaze went straight past the hundreds of millions of feet tall Dharma image of the Canglan Court Master and locked onto the pillar of light radiating nine-colored glazed light in the deepest part of the Origin Court.
"That Source Sea Mother Spring is indeed a good thing. It's perfect for use as the source of my inner universe."
"As for you?"
Su Chen's gaze instantly turned brutal and icy, like an ancient demonic dragon eyeing its prey, a savage, arrogant grin curling at the corner of his mouth. "A piece of trash who relies on absorbing the Mother Spring to prolong his life, and hasn't even touched the threshold of the half-step tenth realm, dares to make me his dog?!"
"I want your Great Luo Yuan Sea Mother Spring!"
"I also want your Dao Fruit at the late stage of Returning to Truth!"
"Today, I will reduce this Azure Origin Court to dust in the Origin Sea!"
"Utterly arrogant! Stubborn to the end! Kill him!!!"
Lord Canglan was utterly enraged by Su Chen's arrogance. How could he, a powerful overlord in the late stage of the Returning to Truth realm, have ever been treated like prey, pointed at by someone and coveted like this?
Accompanied by a furious roar from the Lord of Canglan Court.
"kill--------!!!!!"
The trillion-strong army of Canglan roared in unison, and hundreds of ancient ancestors launched their attacks simultaneously!
"【Azure Sky Annihilation Formation】! Activate!"
"Boom! B ...
The billions of layers of defensive formations surrounding the Canglan Origin Court instantly reversed their previous state! The defense transformed into the ultimate form of slaughter!
Hundreds of thousands of [Primordial Origin Energy Annihilation Light Pillars], each as thick as a galaxy, carrying terrifying destructive power capable of piercing through the Great Thousand Worlds and erasing the laws of the Great Dao, shot out from all directions of the Origin Court, like an impenetrable net of death light, sweeping down on the Eternal War Fortress where Su Chen was located!
At the same time, the hundreds of ancestors who were half-step into the True Realm joined forces to unleash an extreme and deadly weapon left over from the previous era—the [Spirit-Slaying and Heaven-Sealing Seal]!
The great seal swelled in the wind, transforming into a continent that blotted out the sky, carrying the supreme power to suppress all laws and seal all dimensions of time and space, and crashed down on Su Chen!
A combined attack from a trillion-strong army! The devastating blow of the Origin Court Formation! The suppression by ancient, ferocious weapons!
Such a devastating attack would be enough to obliterate even a powerful figure like Emperor Xuanleiyuan, who was at the peak of the early stage of the Returning to Truth realm, in an instant!
"Protect our lord!!!"
The Demon Lord of Chaos and the Skeleton Lord were furious, about to desperately activate their army's formation to resist.
"Go back."
Su Chen's calm yet unyielding voice rang in their ears.
next interest.
Su Chen took a step forward, his figure leaving the war fortress directly. Alone, he stood proudly in the void of the Great Luo Origin Sea, facing the destructive pillars of light and the Great Seal of Suppression that were crashing down from the sky.
"A bunch of frogs in a well who only know how to borrow from external things. You have no idea what true 'returning to one's true self' means."
Su Chen slowly raised his right hand.
Faced with that terrifying combined attack that could destroy multiple universes, he did not draw the Origin Demon Blade, nor did he manifest the vast Dharma form of the inner universe.
He simply clenched his right hand into a fist.
In that instant when the fist clenched.
"Buzz————————————!!!!!"
The entire time, space, cause and effect, and destiny of the Great Luoyuan Sea collapsed into an absolute singularity on Su Chen's fist!
He devoured the First Cause of all things; he is the creator of all the rules of this world!
"Showing off your mastery of the laws?"
"If I say this Dharma will perish, then this Dharma must perish!"
"【Origin Returns to Truth - One Punch Shatters the Vacuum】!!!"
Facing the overwhelming net of destructive light, Su Chen casually threw a punch, without even making a sound!
"Crack..."
An extremely crisp cracking sound.
There was no earth-shattering energy explosion.
When Su Chen's fist was thrown out, an invisible fist imprint, pure to the extreme, domineering to the extreme, representing the ultimate concept of "erasing existence," swept out like a chaotic hurricane that swept across eternity!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
Those hundreds of thousands of Primordial Origin Energy Annihilation Pillars, said to be able to pierce through the vast world, were like spring snow hitting the scorching sun the moment they touched that invisible fist imprint. They couldn't even withstand it for a moment, and instantly... they vanished! They turned into countless harmless specks of light!
"what?!"
The hundreds of ancient ancestors who joined forces to activate the great seal almost popped their eyes out.
But what made them even more desperate was yet to come.
The fist imprint continued its momentum, soaring straight into the sky and crashing fiercely into the overwhelming [Spirit-Slaying and Heaven-Sealing Seal]!
"when--------!!!!"
A mournful cry echoed throughout the source sea!
The ultimate weapon, which had endured the cycles of birth and death and was jointly activated by hundreds of half-step True Immortals, instantly shattered inch by inch under Su Chen's punch!
With a loud "bang", the entire seal exploded into countless fragments of source gold in mid-air!
"puff--!!!"
With their magical artifacts destroyed and their minds still connected, the hundreds of ancient ancestors simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of primordial blood essence. Their bodies flew backward like kites with broken strings, crashing onto the boundary wall of the Canglan Origin Court, their fates unknown!
One punch.
It was just an ordinary punch.
It broke the protective killing formation of the Yuan Court and crippled the combined attack of over a hundred half-step True Immortal Ancestors!
This invincible force, as overwhelming as a tumbleweed and a raging storm, left the trillion-strong army within the Source Court utterly suffocated and stunned.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
The face of the Lord of Canglan Court, hidden in the white light, finally revealed an undisguised shock and horror.
"You clearly only possess the aura of the early stage of Returning to Truth, so why is the essence of your power... purer and more advanced than my late stage of Returning to Truth?!"
The Lord of Canglan Court could not comprehend it. He had absorbed the power of the Great Luo Origin Sea Mother Spring for countless epochs to reach his current level. Yet, the ultimate truth of "creation and destruction" contained within the punch of this young man before him was subtly exerting a high-dimensional pressure on him!
"Because your path was stolen. But my path was earned by trampling the Creator underfoot and eating it up bit by bit."
Su Chen withdrew his fist, then stepped into the air, walking slowly and steadily toward the tightly closed twelve-layered boundary of the Canglan Origin Court.
His steps were light, but each step seemed to tread on the nerves of the Lord of Canglan Court and his billions of troops, producing a deathly thud.
"The tortoise shell is broken; now it's time to tear down the wall."
Su Chen walked to the protective light barrier that emitted nine-colored light and slowly drew the [Origin Demon Blade] from his waist.
Extreme black flames suddenly ignited on the transparent purple-gold blade.
"Old dog Canglan, watch closely. This strike of mine will be very, very slow."
"I'll let you see with your own eyes how your prized heritage is shredded into pieces like tofu."
Su Chen gripped the sword with both hands, pressing the tip against the first layer of protective light barrier. (End of Chapter)
