117: Even the underworld would have to kneel down and speak to me!

That pitch-black killing sword, like the fangs of a death god, silently pierced Su Xuanchen's back and emerged from his chest.

Eerie black Dao blood dripped from the tip of the sword, each drop corroding the void.

This strike was too fast, too ruthless, too absolute!

It struck at the exact moment when Su Xuanchen's old power was exhausted and new power had yet to arise, the very instant his mind was most relaxed after suppressing Great Emperor Tian Peng.

"Jie jie jie..."

A bone-chilling, cold laugh echoed from the void.

A blurred black shadow quietly emerged behind Su Xuanchen.

The Underworld, the Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being!

This was a sovereign living in the shadows who had assassinated three Supremes in his life and even caused a Great Emperor in his later years to bleed!

"The number one Prodigy of all eternity?"

"Before death, all living beings are equal."

With a flick of his wrist, the Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being unleashed destructive Laws upon the killing sword, intending to completely shred Su Xuanchen's Physical Body along with his Primordial Spirit.

In the distance.

The Dao Xuan Saintess covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with horror and regret.

It's over.

Was a Prodigy of a generation to fall here before truly rising?

However.

Just as everyone thought Su Xuanchen was doomed.

*Crack.*

A crisp cracking sound rang out abruptly.

There was no scene of flesh and blood flying.

The "Su Xuanchen" pierced by the killing sword actually shattered like a broken mirror, countless cracks appearing.

Immediately afterward.

With a bang, it dissipated into a sky full of black Devilish Qi.

No Primordial Spirit.

No flesh and blood.

Just an... Incarnation?!

"What?!"

The cold laughter of the Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being stopped abruptly, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpricks.

An unprecedented chill rushed up his spine to the top of his head.

His intuition as a top assassin screamed frantically:

It's a trap!

"Rat, I've caught you."

A playful, cold, yet incomparably domineering voice suddenly rang out above the Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being's head.

The Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being looked up sharply.

Above the previously empty void, space rippled like water.

The real Su Xuanchen stepped out.

He was unharmed, his black hair dancing wildly, a cruel smile on his lips. In those golden eyes, where was there any sign of panic?

There was only the mockery of a hunter looking at a trapped prey.

Possessing the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Primordial Demon Body, he was most sensitive to killing intent.

Long before Great Emperor Tian Peng was suppressed, he had sensed this rat hiding in the shadows.

The reason he showed a weakness was only to... lure the enemy into a trap!

"Cauldron, come!"

Su Xuanchen pressed down with his large hand.

"Hum—!!!"

The myriad things mother qi cauldron, which had long been lying in ambush in the surrounding void, appeared.

Billions of strands of mysterious yellow mother qi, like shackles of heaven and earth, instantly sealed the space-time within a ten-thousand-mile radius.

This place had become a cage!

"Not good!"

The Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being was scared out of his wits.

What does an assassin fear most?

Exposure! Being trapped!

Once he lost the advantages of stealth and speed, in a direct confrontation, he wouldn't even be as good as an ordinary peak Quasi-Emperor!

"Escape!"

He burned his Origin, his figure turning into billions of black shadows, trying to slip through the gaps in the Mother Qi.

"Want to leave?"

Su Xuanchen sneered, his body trembling.

"Roar—!"

"Chirp—!"

Earth-shaking dragon roars and phoenix cries resounded through the starry sky.

Around him, True Dragons, Immortal Phoenixes, White Tigers, Black Tortoises... countless phantoms of legendary Supreme immortal spirits manifested.

They danced around Su Xuanchen, making him look like a Supreme Heavenly Emperor commanding all spirits.

"Get back here!"

Su Xuanchen threw a punch.

This punch carried the blessing of all spirits and the will to seal the world.

Under this punch, those billions of black shadows all exploded.

The true body of the Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being was forced out, looking like a fly swatted against a wall, slamming heavily into the wall of the myriad things mother qi cauldron.

"Puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of black blood, his aura instantly withering.

His weakness in direct combat was fully exposed.

"You... you plotted against me?!"

The Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being screamed in terror, the killing sword in his hand trembling.

"Plotting?"

Su Xuanchen approached step by step, the pressure intensifying with every step he took.

"Against a rat like you who only dares to hide in the gutters, do I even need to plot?"

"This is called... closing the door to beat the dog!"

Su Xuanchen closed in, giving the opponent no chance to breathe.

Heavenly Emperor Fist!

One punch after another.

Every punch landed solidly on the body of the Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being.

"Ah!!"

"No! Stop hitting me!"

"This deity is a Supreme of the Underworld! You cannot..."

"Bang!"

Su Xuanchen stepped on his face, forcefully stomping the rest of the sentence back.

"The Underworld?"

"Today, even if the King of Hell himself comes, he'll have to leave his life here!"

A one-sided beatdown!

A terrifying Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being was now like a punching bag, being frantically rubbed against the cauldron by Su Xuanchen.

On the other side, Great Emperor Tian Peng roared. Seizing this opportunity, he broke free from his predicament and soared into the sky, fleeing into the distance.

The Heavenly Emperor Cauldron was currently suppressing the Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being and failed to trap him, allowing him to seize the chance.

Even a Supreme of the Underworld was being beaten like a dog!

How could he dare to stay?

"Escape! I must escape!"

Great Emperor Tian Peng didn't even care to retrieve the broken tian peng halberd, burning his last bit of original blood essence to turn into a golden aurora, fleeing frantically toward the depths of the starry sky.

"As long as I escape back to the Reincarnation Sea... as long as..."

However.

Just as he thought he was about to escape.

"Hum—!"

A green lotus suddenly bloomed in the void ahead of him.

A terrifying aura of Chaos, vastness, and suppression of the eternal blue sky emanated from that green lotus.

"This... this is..."

Great Emperor Tian Peng's figure suddenly froze, and an unprecedented fear emerged in his murky old eyes.

It was a fear engraved in his bones!

It was the nightmare from billions of years ago that suppressed him beneath the Reincarnation Sea, preventing him from ever rising!

"The Green Lotus Emperor Weapon?!"

"The Azure Emperor?!!"

Great Emperor Tian Peng let out a shrill scream, his voice changing pitch.

"Impossible! The Azure Emperor has long since passed away! How can his aura still be in this world?!"

"Nothing is impossible."

While beating the Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being, Su Xuanchen split his Divine Thought and looked coldly at Great Emperor Tian Peng.

"Because, I am his successor."

The chaos green lotus grew rapidly with the wind, instantly turning into a chaotic torrent that completely submerged this Star Domain.

"No—!!!"

Great Emperor Tian Peng hissed in despair.

He wanted to resist, but before the familiar and terrifying Dao of the Azure Emperor, his broken imperial body trembled as if meeting a natural enemy, unable to muster even a shred of power.

"Plop."

The chaotic torrent swept through.

Great Emperor Tian Peng didn't even make a splash before being directly suppressed and swept into Su Xuanchen's Bitter Sea vision.

At this moment.

Inside the myriad things mother qi cauldron.

The Dao of Slaughter Supreme Being had been beaten beyond recognition, his bones shattered, slumped on the ground like mud.

"Stop... stop hitting..."

He pleaded weakly for mercy, his eyes filled with terror.

Just as Su Xuanchen was about to deliver the final blow.

"Little friend, show mercy."

A faint voice, as if from across endless time and space, came from the depths of the void.

Though the voice was soft, it carried a chill that froze the Divine Soul.

The Underworld!

A true giant of the Underworld was transmitting his voice across the void!

The voice continued, carrying a hint of lofty charity.

"Although Hei Tian offended you, little friend, he is after all a member of my Underworld."

"Release him."

"My Underworld is willing to compensate you."

"Let this matter be written off, how about it?"

Su Xuanchen stopped his fist.

He looked up toward the depths of the void, a mocking sneer appearing on his lips.

"Compensation?"

"Written off?"

"Hahahaha!"

Su Xuanchen laughed wildly, his laughter shaking the starry sky.

"When he was assassinating me just now, why didn't you come out and talk about writing it off?"

"Now that he's about to die, you jump out to play the good guy?"

"Old thing, what the hell are you?"

"Are you even worthy of telling me what to do?"

The voice in the depths of the void was silent for a moment, then carried a hint of anger.

"Young man, what is too rigid is easily broken."

"The foundation of the Underworld is beyond your imagination."

"If you insist on killing him, you will be an enemy of the entire Underworld."

"When that time comes, no one in heaven or earth will be able to save you."

This was a blatant threat!

The golden light in Su Xuanchen's eyes suddenly surged, turning into two physical swords that pierced the sky.

"Threatening me?"

"I am the type of person who hates threats the most."

Su Xuanchen interrupted him.

During the conversation just now, he had already locked onto the other party's coordinates!

"Found you."

Su Xuanchen's gaze locked onto an extremely obscure node deep in the starry sky.

"Rat hiding in the gutters."

"Get... out here!"

Su Xuanchen's entire body's blood qi burned, and the ten-fold combat power of the All Secret was triggered!

He threw a punch toward those coordinates across billions of miles of space-time.

Heavenly Emperor Fist!

This punch fused all of his current essence, energy, and spirit, along with the Immortal and Demon Qis, and the blessing of the myriad things mother qi cauldron.

A fist light of extreme brilliance ignored the distance of space and directly pierced through that space-time channel.

"Rumble—!!!"

On the far side of the starry sky, within a mysterious restricted area shrouded in endless Death Qi.

A world-shaking explosion rang out.

Immediately afterward.

"Ah!!"

A shrill scream came from across the endless space-time.

Even from so far away, everyone could still clearly hear the sound of bones shattering.

"Su Xuanchen!!!"

That was the exasperated roar of the Underworld Supreme, filled with weakness and terror.

"You wait! If I don't avenge this, I will not rest!"

Subsequently, that space-time node completely collapsed, and the aura was cut off.

That Underworld giant was injured by this punch and fled immediately!

Whether it was the Dao Xuan Saintess or those old fogies hiding in the shadows to watch the battle, every one of them had their mouths wide open.

Across billions of miles, he drove away a Supreme of the Underworld with a single punch?

Is he even human?!

"I'll wait then."

Su Xuanchen withdrew his fist, his face full of disdain.

"The next time you dare to show your head, I'll wipe out your Underworld."

The Dao Xuan Saintess's body trembled as she recovered from the shock.

She composed herself, her voice spreading through the starry sky as if making an announcement.

"After today's battle, the Head of the Su Family alone is comparable to an Imperial Clan!"

"The sky of this Kunxu Divine Domain... is about to change."

...True Saint Continent, Su Family.

"Won! Old Ancestor won!"

"Old Ancestor is invincible! Su Family is invincible!"

The earth-shaking cheers almost blew the roof off the Purple Heaven Palace.

So satisfying!

So domineering!

That's the Underworld! That's an ancient Great Emperor!

They were all sliced like vegetables by our own Old Ancestor!

"Hahaha! Good! Great!"

Great Sage Shenxiao laughed so hard his mouth wouldn't close, slapping his thigh and laughing wildly.

"The most correct decision I've made in my life was marrying my daughter into the Su Family!"

"From now on, let's see who dares to provoke my Su Family!"

On the other side.

Taishi Sect.

Atop a misty immortal peak.

Great Sage Taishi's hands were shaking like sieves, and he didn't even notice the tea spilling all over him.

"This... this..."

His face was pale, and cold sweat dripped down.

"Su Xuanchen... has actually reached such a level of strength?"

"He even killed a Supreme of the Underworld..."

At the thought that he had actually clung to the leg of such a big figure, Great Sage Taishi showed a lewd smile.

Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He thought of the "Number One Beauty" of the Taishi Holy Land, the exceptionally talented Supreme Feiyu.

That Supreme Feiyu was the darling of a certain big figure in the Holy Land, whom that big figure had pursued for thousands of years without success.

"Hehe..."

An extremely wretched and insidious smile appeared on Great Sage Taishi's face.

"If I can introduce Supreme Feiyu to Su Xuanchen..."

"Not only can I deepen the relationship with the Su Family, but I can also disgust that old fart to death!"

"Two birds with one stone! Brilliant!"

Back then, because he had accidentally offended the other party over a small matter, he was exiled to this wasteland.

His mood brightened at the thought of using the Head of the Su Family's hand to disgust the other party.

Great Sage Taishi muttered, a wretched smile on his face, already imagining the other party's furious expression.
