Chapter 876
The Return of All Veins 1
The Primordial Continent of All Heavens, a vast territory once regarded as the supreme holy land by countless beings, has fallen into a deathly silence after being ravaged by the Immortal Demon Army for several days.
Gone were the lofty voices of the sovereigns preaching, gone were the cries of celestial birds and beasts in the sacred mountains of the land, and gone were the grand sounds of countless cultivators practicing their breathing exercises.
Instead, there was the pungent smell of blood permeating every corner, and the lingering, not-yet-completely-burned Soul Flame of Returning to Truth in the collapsed ruins of the Daoist sect.
Above the sky, there were no clouds for thousands of miles. Even the primordial purple energy that originally filled the world had become thin and disordered due to the fall of the three rulers.
The Longevity Fortress silently floats in the very center of the continent—the absolute core area where the Primordial Ancestral Court once stood.
"Rumble..."
A series of deep rumbling sounds came from the fortress square.
The millions of immortal demons, following Su Chen's decree, have now formed the most formidable ultimate battle formation above the fortress.
From each demon soldier, a dark golden chain formed from pure [Extreme Destruction Law] extended. Thousands of chains intertwined and converged in the sky, eventually transforming into three [Heaven-Capturing Locks] as thick as an ancient galaxy, which were held respectively by the Demon Lord of Chaos, the Skeleton Lord, and the Nether Moon Empress Ye Weilan.
These three supreme commanders, all at the half-step eleventh realm, were solemn at this moment, their magical power surging to its peak, like three creator gods preparing to create the world, holding their breath and waiting for the final command from the throne.
At the top of the fortress.
Su Chen, dressed in a green robe, stood with his hands behind his back.
Those unfathomable black eyes, like two ultimate black holes capable of swallowing multiple universes, pierced through the layers of void barriers, completely ignoring the soil and rocks on the surface of the continent, and locked onto the deepest core of this primordial continent of all heavens.
"My lord, the ten million demons have formed the [Ultimate Heaven-Binding Array], and the Heaven-Capturing Lock is in place!" The voice of the Hun Tian Demon Lord, as loud as rolling thunder, resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and the dark gold chains in his hands emitted a resounding clang that shook the ages.
"Your Majesty, the ancestral vein of this Primordial Continent of All Heavens was formed by those three old men who spent 120,000 epochs to gather the essence of the primordial source from countless great worlds."
Ye Weilan, clad in crimson lotus armor, stood slightly below Su Chen, her beautiful eyes flashing with shock and solemnity.
“These ancestral veins are already inextricably linked to the underlying logic of this world, becoming the ‘spine’ of this universe. If they are forcibly extracted, it will inevitably trigger a backlash from the Heavenly Dao of this multiverse system, and the force of the backlash will probably be no less than the self-destruction of a true eleventh-realm ruler!”
"Backlash?"
Upon hearing Ye Weilan's concern, Su Chen not only failed to restrain himself but instead curled up a savage smile that was both arrogant and brutal to the extreme.
"I've already chewed up and swallowed those three old bastards, why would I be afraid of these few rotten bones that have lost their master and will turn on me?!"
Su Chen slowly raised his hands, his ten fingers suddenly spreading open in front of him.
"This primordial continent of all heavens is nothing more than a fishpond that has been raised by others. Now that I have devoured the person who raised the fish, I will squeeze every last drop of water and mud from this fishpond!"
"Without removing the backbone of this land, how can my [Eternal Life Ancestral Realm] truly stand above all other realms!"
Su Chen's eyes suddenly widened, and the gluttonous black flames in his eyes ignited the entire sky!
"Let's do it!"
"Give me—a severed limb and broken bones!!!"
"【Original Ultimate Technique - Plucking Stars with One Hand - Capturing Dragons from the Sky】!!!"
Accompanied by Su Chen's ultimate roar that tore through countless dimensions!
His outstretched hands, like two supreme divine blades piercing through multiple universes, plunged fiercely and mercilessly into the vast and boundless primordial continent below!
"Boom boom boom boom boom ————————!!!!!"
Under the horrified gaze of millions of demons.
Two enormous, dark golden hands, so vast that they could not be measured by any sight or divine sense, and entirely woven from the [Void Creation Source Essence] and the [Extreme Gluttony Law], suddenly manifested between heaven and earth!
These two giant hands ignored all obstacles of matter and law, and like red-hot blades cutting into butter, they directly pierced through the indestructible crust of the original continent, deeply and firmly probing into the depths of the earth's core, which was filled with endless destructive magma and spatial turbulence!
"Snap!!!"
At this moment, the entire Primordial Continent of All Heavens emitted a mournful cry as if a living being were being forcibly disemboweled!
A terrifying, bottomless rift valley, stretching for hundreds of millions of light-years, instantly tore from the easternmost part of the continent to the westernmost part with a devastating force!
This crack directly split this vast and boundless continent in two!
"roar--------!!!!!"
Just as the continent was torn apart!
From the depths of the earth, countless terrifying dragon roars suddenly resounded, shattering the heavens!
That is the Primordial Ancestral Vein!
These innate divine beings, nurtured from the purest Dao essence of the eleventh realm and the fortune of countless cosmic eras, had already developed a faint instinctive consciousness. Sensing Su Chen's undisguised devouring killing intent and the deadly threat emanating from those two giant hands, they began to struggle and rampage wildly beneath the surface of the Origin Continent!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
On the surface of the continent, countless ancient divine mountains, some hundreds of millions of feet high, collapsed in an instant! Endless purple-gold earth fire, like billions of erupting raging dragons, broke through the earth's crust and soared straight into the heavens!
Such a world-destroying apocalyptic scene would instantly tear even a powerful expert in the Primordial True Realm to shreds in the face of the violent energy that would backfire from heaven and earth!
"Want to run?!"
Su Chen stood in the void, his robes fluttering wildly in the raging energy gusts. Not only was he not shaken back by the backlash, but his two dark gold giant hands, which had pierced the earth's core, remained as still as if cast in iron.
The greed and madness in his eyes burned to their peak, the muscles in his arms bulged, and deafening extreme explosions erupted from the chaotic dragon scales.
"Since you've been set in your sights by me, even if you're a true primordial creation dragon, you'll have to obediently become my meal today!"
"Rise, Your Majesty!!!"
Su Chen suddenly pulled his arms upwards with a fierce force!
"Sizzle————————!!!!"
A chilling, soul-shattering tearing sound echoed wildly throughout the heavens and earth!
Under the utterly shocking, deathly silence of Hun Tian, Hai Zun, Ye Wei Lan, and the millions of immortal demons.
One, ten, one hundred, one thousand...
There were hundreds of millions of [Primordial Ancestral Vein Giant Dragons], each with a purple-gold glazed color, as thick as a vast galaxy, and exuding an aura powerful enough to crush all eleven realms of the heavens.
Su Chen's two dark golden giant hands, like pulling up onions, along with countless shattered continental plates and billions of tons of destructive subterranean fire, were brutally and violently ripped from the core of the Primordial Continent of All Heavens!
"Roar! Roar! Roar!!!"
Billions of ancestral dragons twisted and struggled wildly in the sky. The primal light emanating from their bodies even blinded the countless immortal demons below. The overwhelming backlash from the Heavenly Dao transformed into billions of purple lightning bolts, madly striking Su Chen's dark golden giant hand and body.
"How dare you, a mere inanimate object, be so insolent before me!"
Su Chen snorted coldly, letting the endless purple lightning strike him, yet it couldn't even harm a single hair on his head. His physical body, fused with the essence of the void creation, was already impervious to all magic and indestructible through countless calamities!
"Hun Tian! Hai Zun! Wei Lan! Take the chains!!!"
Su Chen's voice was like that of a deity who held the mandate of heaven.
"Your subject obeys!"
Below, the three commanders, who had been poised to attack, unleashed a deafening roar that shook the heavens!
"【Ultimate Path Binding Heaven - All Veins Return to the Source】!!!"
The three of them exerted their strength at the same time, and hurled the three [Heaven-Capturing Locks] in their hands, which were formed from the magic power of millions of demons, into the sky!
"Splash splash splash splash—"
The three dark gold chains, like three extreme dragons defying the heavens, instantly traversed endless space and, at an incredible angle, tightly wrapped around and pierced the massive body of the billions of ancestral dragons!
"Pull him down!!!"
The Demon Lord of Chaos manifested his true form as the Devouring Heaven Source Demon, which was tens of millions of feet tall. His arms were covered in bulging veins as he gripped one end of the chain tightly, letting out a roar like that of a wild beast.
The skeleton's bones cracked and popped, and the eerie green Returning Soul Fire burned to its limit, gripping the chains tightly in its hands.
Ye Weilan pushed her half-step eleventh realm magic power to the limit. Her originally charming face was now full of murderous intent as she held tightly to the last chain.
Millions of immortal demons formed a great formation below, sharing the terrifying pulling force.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
High in the sky, Su Chen's dark gold giant hand gripped the throat of the ancestral dragon tightly, while the millions of soldiers below used chains to bind it firmly!
An unprecedented "ultimate tug-of-war," with the backbone of an entire multiverse as its rope, is about to unfold in this collapsing world!
"This continent, the origin of all heavens, will henceforth be my backyard!"
Su Chen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the [Origin Inner Universe] within his body was opened without reservation at this moment!
"[The Maw of Infinite Abyss - Swallow It From Me]!!!"
A massive black hole, large enough to cover half of the original continent, suddenly appeared above the Longevity Fortress!
From within that black hole came the desperate, humming sound of the Great Luo Mother Spring.
"Go inside!!!"
Su Chen pressed his arms down sharply, combining the pulling force of the millions of demons below.
"Waaaaaahh ...
Accompanied by a mournful cry that resounded throughout the heavens and the myriad realms, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Those billions of struggling [Primordial Ancestral Dragons], containing the essence of 120,000 epochs of this world.
Su Chen, with a ruthless and violent manner, forcefully stuffed them all, without leaving a single one behind, into that dark golden abyss maw! They were then slammed into the temporarily created independent inner universe dimension beneath the Longevity Fortress!
"Boom!!!"
The moment the last ancestral vein disappeared into the black hole.
The entire Primordial Continent of All Heavens emitted an extremely muffled thud.
Then.
Everything returned to deathly silence.
The once spiritually rich and primordial purple aura of the supreme divine land has been destroyed after losing the support of these billions of ancestral veins.
The spiritual energy on the continent's surface was depleted instantly at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye!
The once indestructible Primordial Immortal Stones turned into fragile mortal sand; the divine river flowing with the spring of immortality dried up instantly, revealing a riverbed full of cracks; and the ancient divine trees that had stood tall for countless eras withered and weathered in an instant, turning into dust that filled the sky.
This is the [Origin Continent of All Heavens], which has ruled over 120,000 epochs in multiple universes.
At this moment, Su Chen completely drained his last bit of bone marrow and peeled away his last layer of skin and flesh!
It transformed into a lifeless, terrifyingly rifted shell—a colossal, empty shell of a dead star!
"Hoo..." Su Chen slowly withdrew his hands, and the two dark golden giant hands disappeared in mid-air.
He looked down at this old territory, which had been completely turned into wasteland because of his selfishness, his eyes showing no pity or guilt, only the ultimate pleasure and satisfaction of being deprived of the world's most abundant fruits.
"The shell may be broken, but the core inside is the real treasure."
Su Chen closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness into his [Origin Inner Universe].
……
Deep within the inner universe at this moment.
After those billions of primordial ancestral veins were forcibly smashed into the underground of the Longevity Origin Realm.
The entire inner universe is undergoing the most violent and thorough geographical reshaping since Su Chen created it!
"Rumble rumble rumble—"
The land of the Longevity Origin Realm is expanding wildly! One layer, ten layers, a hundred layers, ten thousand layers!
The already vast and boundless Eternal Origin Realm expanded by tens of millions of times in an instant! The strata of this world became incredibly thick and indestructible, even surpassing the original continent of all heavens!
Billions of ancestral veins transformed into the earth vein network of this new world. Nourished by the ethereal creative essence of the [Great Luo Mother Spring], they shed their original purple-gold color and transformed into [Ultimate Origin Ancestral Veins] that radiate a deep, dark golden luster!
"Buzzing—"
With the formation of the ancestral vein of the ultimate origin, the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Longevity Origin Realm once again ushered in the ultimate leap.
Countless supreme divine mountains rose from the ground, each with a waterfall of origin that would make even an eleventh-realm ruler envious; above the sky, there were no longer false stars, but true "supreme sun and moon" formed by Su Chen's endless supreme laws!
The [Eternal Life Imperial Palace], which symbolizes the highest power of the Eternal Life Heavenly Court, was lifted up by an invisible force and firmly placed at the core intersection of the billions of ancestral veins of the ultimate path!
Possessing all the meridians! Suppressing all realms!
At this moment, the [Eternal Life Ancestral Realm] is no longer an inner world that relies on devouring external resources to survive. Instead, it has truly evolved into a flawless, energy-sufficient realm, whose dimensional level has even subtly surpassed that of the external multiverse—the [Unique True Realm]!
"Hahahahahaha!"
He sensed the terrifying power within his body, capable of reshaping the endless universe with every gesture.
At the summit of the fortress, Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes and let out a wild laugh that shook the ages and pierced through layers of dimensions!
"This is the ultimate ancestral realm that I truly desire!"
"This is the supreme realm worthy of my throne!!!"
Su Chen's laughter was like a violent thunderstorm, rumbling and echoing across the lifeless wasteland.
Below, the millions of immortal demons, whose strength had long been drained but who still stood tall, listened to Su Chen's arrogant laughter and looked at the primal power within their bodies that had surged wildly due to the reshaping of heaven and earth.
Under the leadership of Hun Tian, Hai Zun, and Ye Wei Lan, everyone...
They all knelt down on one knee in the square of the Longevity Fortress.
"Honoring Your Majesty! May your bones be pulled out and your entire body be united!"
"The Eternal Heavenly Court, the Supreme Ancestral Realm, for millennia to come, invincible across all realms!!!"
The roars of millions of demons coalesced into an invisible, supreme belief that soared into the heavens, tearing open a massive rift in the already shattered sky once more.
Su Chen slowly raised his hand, suppressing the deafening cheers.
His eyes, filled with gluttonous black flames, coldly swept over the loyal army below, who had followed him in countless battles and were as ferocious as a pack of wolves.
The remnants of the old era have been wiped out.
He has completely squandered the essence of the old era.
This primordial continent of all heavens, this fishpond of multiple universes, no longer has any nutritional value for him.
"The foundation has been laid."
Su Chen waved his hand, his fingertips tracing a dark golden path in the void.
"Next, it's time to eat meat."
"As I said, I will use the leftovers from the three sovereigns to host a grand victory celebration for you hungry wolves!"
A glint of maddening grace flashed in Su Chen's eyes.
He flipped his hand over.
A ball of light, displaying nine colors of glazed glass and radiating the purest energy of the [Eleventh Realm Sovereign Origin], appeared in his palm.
These were the "leftovers" that he discarded after refining the three supreme Dao fruits of reincarnation, heavenly Dao, and chaos, which he himself didn't think much of!
But to the outside world, even the smallest bit of these scraps, no bigger than a fingernail, is enough to trigger a world-ending bloodbath in thousands of worlds! Enough to drive countless powerful beings at the Primordial True Realm to fight to the death, just for a sip!
"The Immortal Demon Army!"
Su Chen's voice was like a supreme divine grace descending from the heavens.
"Today, I bestow upon you the blood of a sovereign! I bestow upon you the laws of creation!"
"Open your mouths!"
"Give me, the Supreme Being—a bath of domination! The entire army ascends!!!"
"boom------------!!!!!"
With Su Chen's command.
He suddenly crushed the nine-colored primordial light in his hand in mid-air!
"Splash splash splash splash—"
The eleven realms of sovereign origin filled the sky, transforming into a nine-colored blood rain that enveloped the entire Longevity Extreme Path Fortress!
Every drop of blood contains immense power that can transform a person and lead them directly to the Great Dao!
The millions of immortal demons watched as the sovereign's blood rain fell from the sky, their eyes ignited with fanaticism and greed.
They did not hesitate or hold back in the slightest.
At this moment, millions of mouths opened simultaneously, like a group of hungry young demons, frantically devouring and sucking up the supreme creation that had fallen from the sky!
"roar--------!!!!!"
A series of shrill and wild roars echoed over the fortress!
That is the pain of the body being reshaped after being torn to its limit, and that is the ultimate transformation of the soul when it comes into contact with the laws of higher dimensions!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
One after another, beams of light breaking through realms rose up like a dense forest within the ranks of the Immortal Demon Army!
The Supreme Being of the Great Luo?
No! That's a garbage level of the past!
Under the domineering blood rain, even the lowest-ranking cook in the Longevity Demon Army broke through the bottleneck in just ten breaths, directly stepping into the [Primordial Chaos Realm], a level that is enough to establish a sect on this Origin Continent!
The elite demon army captains and commanders, on the other hand, experienced a meteoric rise in their cultivation levels, steadily reaching the [Primordial True Realm]!
As for the Hun Tian Demon Lord and the Skeleton Lord standing at the very front!
These two supreme commanders, who had followed Su Chen all the way and devoured the flesh and blood of countless gods and demons, received the purest batch of Sovereign Origin for baptism.
The two of them simultaneously let out a roar that seemed to tear the sky apart!
"Bang! Bang!"
The barrier between the two, which was at the half-step eleventh realm, trembled violently. Although they were unable to directly cross that insurmountable chasm and step into the true eleventh realm.
However, their aura has completely surpassed that of the nine great gods, reaching the terrifying level of [Half-Step Eleventh Realm - Peak]! They are truly only a thin veil away from the legendary position of ruler!
Ye Weilan was also bathed in blood rain.
She did not deliberately try to break through her cultivation level, but instead channeled all of this immense primordial power into her [Netherworld Blood-Weeping Whip] and Crimson Lotus Armor.
After absorbing the power of the Sovereign, her magical artifact developed strange eleventh-realm Dao patterns, transforming into a true [Ultimate Quasi-Sovereign Weapon]. Her gaze towards Su Chen was like that of someone looking at the only god in the world, filled with breathtaking adoration and love.
A full hour passed.
That unprecedented, bloody rain of domination gradually subsided.
At this moment, at the Longevity Path Fortress.
Millions of demons, all embodying the Primordial Chaos!
Tens of thousands of commanders have all entered the true realm!
This terrifyingly powerful and invincible lineup is enough to make any era tremble. Even the Hongmeng Ancestral Court, which once ruled over all realms, could not compare to it at its peak!
This is a force truly created by an extreme tyrant, born to tear apart all the heavens and myriad worlds—the [Invincible Devouring Calamity]!
"very good."
Su Chen stood before the throne, looking down at the large army below, their killing intent palpable and their cultivation levels skyrocketing. He clapped his hands in satisfaction.
"After eating my fill, I have plenty of strength again."
"Next."
Su Chen slowly raised his head, his deep black eyes piercing through the fragile cosmic crystal wall that had been drained of its ancestral veins.
His gaze fell upon the area beyond the crystal wall, a place infinitely more vast than the primordial continent of the heavens, pitch black, profoundly deep, and extremely dangerous—the [Ultimate Nothingness].
"The water in this fishpond has dried up."
"I am going to take you to smash the fish tank, to that bigger sea..."
Su Chen slowly drew the Origin Demon Blade from his waist, its tip pointing directly at the void rift in the sky.
"Go hunt those, the real high-dimensional fat sharks!!!"
"All troops, listen to my command!"
"Here!" The voice of the millions of Hongmeng demons roared like thunder.
"Board the ship! Activate the fortress's extreme engines!"
Su Chen's voice carried an ultimate fervor that made the entire broken universe tremble.
"Target—Cosmic Crystal Wall!"
"Smash it to pieces and speed into nothingness!!!"
