137: Awakening one's inner strength? Even the greatest emperor is but an ant!

"Rumble—!!!"

Deep within the Chaos Holy Land, the earth cracked like a spiderweb.

The ancient Chaos Hall, stained with the dust of ages and emitting a decaying aura, slowly rose into the sky.

A terrifying Supreme Dao Emperor Might transformed into an apocalyptic storm, sweeping across a million-mile radius.

"Who... has awakened me..."

An aged voice, sounding like two pieces of rotting wood rubbing together, was dry and raspy, yet it carried a Supreme majesty that made the Souls of all living beings tremble.

Even if he was just an old Emperor whose Lifespan was nearing its end and who had sealed himself within God Source, a Great Emperor was still a Great Emperor!

As long as he still drew breath, he was an invincible existence in this world!

"Old Ancestor!!"

The Chaos Old Ancestor knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly. He pointed at Su Xuanchen in the sky and screamed at the top of his lungs.

"This villain wants to destroy our Holy Land! He wants to sever our Legacy! He has even humiliated the Revered Master!"

"Please take action, Old Ancestor! Suppress and kill this villain! Uphold our Chaos Divine Might!!"

"Hmm?"

The withered old man slowly turned his head, his gaze falling upon Su Xuanchen.

There was no excess emotion.

It was like an elephant looking at a provocative ant.

The old man muttered to himself, a glint of turbid light flashing in his eyes.

"A decent seedling."

"A pity, you shouldn't have provoked my Chaos lineage."

He slowly raised his withered palm.

"Buzz—!"

The Chaos Hall beneath him burst with brilliant light.

This great hall was not merely a place for slumber; it was a genuine supreme dao emperor weapon!

"Suppress."

The old man softly uttered a single word.

The Chaos Hall expanded rapidly against the wind, transforming into an Immemorial Divine Peak. It activated billions of tons of Chaos Law, pressing down directly toward Su Xuanchen's head.

This strike had no fancy Divine Abilities.

There was only the purest power!

It was enough to collapse the heavens and crush the stars!

"It's over..."

Azure Revered Master's face turned pale, and she closed her eyes in despair.

When a Great Emperor takes action, who can block it?

However.

Facing this world-destroying strike.

Su Xuanchen stood in the Void Realm, his black hair dancing wildly and his robes fluttering.

He did not dodge.

He didn't even use the myriad things mother qi cauldron.

He simply raised his head, looking at the descending Chaos Hall, an extremely disdainful sneer appearing at the corners of his mouth.

"Just a coffin."

"You think you can suppress me?"

Su Xuanchen moved.

He raised his right hand, fingers spread wide. Within his palm, golden blood-qi erupted like a vast ocean.

There was no Divine Ability.

It was just a simple slap!

"Get... lost!!"

"Slap—!!!"

A crisp sound that shook the entire Yongyao Heaven Realm rang out.

That palm, which wasn't particularly large, slammed fiercely against the mountain-like Chaos Hall.

The scene froze for a moment.

Immediately after.

"Boom—!!!"

The Chaos Hall, claimed to be indestructible and containing Supreme Dao Laws, was actually... sent flying by this single slap!

It was just like a ball being swatted away!

The great hall tumbled violently in the air, the Emperor runes on its surface shattering inch by inch as it let out a burdened wail.

"What?!"

The Chaos Old Ancestor's body stiffened where he knelt, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Slapping away an Emperor Weapon with bare hands?!

Is he even human?!

"Puff!"

Inside the Chaos Hall, the withered old man suffered a backlash, and a mouthful of black Emperor blood sprayed out.

In his turbid eyes, shock finally appeared.

"How is this possible..."

"Your Physical Body... could it be that it has already..."

"You talk too much."

Su Xuanchen didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

"Xing Character Secret!"

A flash of golden light.

Su Xuanchen's figure appeared directly above the tumbling Chaos Hall.

He looked down from above at the old man inside the hall, his gaze cold as a blade.

"Old thing, since you're awake, then don't go back to sleep."

"Just be on your way!"

Su Xuanchen raised a finger.

At the tip of his finger, a point of ink-black light condensed.

"Extinguish!"

He pointed his finger out.

"Swish—!"

A black light, thin as a silk thread yet sharp enough to cut through time itself, pierced through the Chaos Hall's defenses.

"No!!"

The withered old man let out a desperate roar.

He wanted to burn his final Lifespan, wanted to reach his ultimate sublimation.

But he was too slow!

In the face of Su Xuanchen's extreme speed, all his reactions were incredibly sluggish.

"Puff!"

The black light pierced through the center of his forehead.

That was the sound of a Primordial Spirit being annihilated.

A generation's Great Emperor, even one in his twilight years, was an existence standing at the peak of all living beings.

Yet he was killed by a single finger!

Nailed to death within his own Emperor Weapon!

"Boom—!"

Losing its master's control, the Chaos Hall crashed heavily into the depths of the Holy Land, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

Inside the hall, the withered old man's aura was completely severed.

He died with his eyes wide open!

All the Disciples, Elders, and Supremes of the Chaos Holy Land were like ducks being choked by the neck, gaping and unable to make a sound.

Dead?

Their final foundation, their invincible Old Ancestor... just like that... gone?

Slapped away, and then poked to death with a finger?

"This... this is an illusion... it must be an illusion..."

The Chaos Old Ancestor slumped to the ground, his expression dazed as his Dao Heart completely collapsed.

Su Xuanchen floated down.

He stood atop the ruins of the Chaos Hall, his gaze scanning the field.

He was the only king between heaven and earth!

"Is there anyone else?"

Su Xuanchen spoke.

Four words.

Yet they were like billions of divine mountains, pressing down so hard that everyone found it difficult to breathe.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Swaths of Chaos Holy Land experts knelt to the ground.

Even those Supremes who were usually high and mighty lowered their noble heads, trembling.

They didn't dare not to kneel!

Even a Great Emperor had been slaughtered; what did they count for?

"Since no one objects."

Su Xuanchen nodded, his face showing that signature harmless smile.

"Then we'll do as I said earlier."

He extended his finger and pointed randomly a few times in the crowd.

"You, you, and you..."

Those pointed out were all high-level members who had participated in the assassination plan or experts who had shown hostility toward him.

They accounted for a full third of the Holy Land's leadership!

"Head of the Family, have mercy!!"

Those people screamed in terror, wanting to flee.

"Die."

Su Xuanchen's words became Law.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of explosions.

Those people didn't even have time to scream before their bodies exploded into blood mist on the spot.

Blood stained the Holy Land's plaza red.

The remaining two-thirds were scared out of their wits, kowtowing so hard their heads banged loudly against the ground, fearing they would be next.

"Very good."

Su Xuanchen withdrew his hand with satisfaction.

"It seems the remaining people are very sensible."

He turned around, his gaze falling on the peerless Azure Revered Master.

By now, Azure Revered Master had long since lost her former majesty.

Her beautiful face was deathly pale, her eyes filled with complexity and fear, and her hands subconsciously protected her lower abdomen.

Su Xuanchen walked up to her.

He reached out and tilted up her exquisite chin.

"What? Don't recognize me anymore?"

Su Xuanchen leaned close to her ear, his warm breath fanning her skin, his voice wicked and charming.

"Or... do you want me to help you remember what happened that night?"

"You..."

Azure Revered Master's delicate body trembled, a blush rising on her face as she felt overwhelmed with shame.

"Don't... don't say it..."

"So many people are watching..."

"So what if they are watching?"

Su Xuanchen dominantly wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

"From today on, you are my, Su Xuanchen's, woman."

"The entire Chaos Holy Land is your dowry."

He raised his head, his gaze scanning the surroundings, his voice reaching across the entire Holy Land.

"Did you hear that?"

"From this day forth, the Chaos Holy Land is renamed the 'Chaos Side Courtyard' and is merged into the Su Family!"

"Azure Revered Master shall be one of the Su Family's Matriarchs!"

"Who agrees? Who objects?"

There was dead silence below.

A moment later.

"Greetings, Head of the Family! Greetings, Matriarch!!"

The Chaos Old Ancestor was the first to react, crying out.

As long as he could stay alive, never mind merging into the Su Family, he would even change his surname to Su!

"Greetings, Head of the Family! Greetings, Matriarch!!"

The sounds of kneeling and bowing, like a mountain tsunami, echoed through the clouds.

Leaning in Su Xuanchen's arms, Azure Revered Master watched this scene with mixed emotions.

The era of the Chaos Holy Land had ended.

A behemoth named the "Su Family" was rising.

And she... had completely fallen into the hands of this overbearing man. Her person, her heart, and the child in her womb had all become his private property.

"Let's go, Madam."

Su Xuanchen was in a great mood and waved his hand.

"Take me to see our family's treasury."

"I heard the Chaos Holy Land is dripping with wealth; it's perfect for saving up some milk powder money for the kids."

...Three days later.

A piece of news, like an apocalyptic storm, swept through the entire Yongyao Heaven Realm and spread to other realms at a terrifying speed.

The Chaos Holy Land... was gone!

No, to be precise, it had changed its surname to Su!

The Su Family Ancestor, Su Xuanchen, had charged into the Chaos Holy Land alone, slapped away an Emperor Weapon, and killed an awakened ancient Great Emperor with a single finger!

He also forcibly married Azure Revered Master and took over the entire Holy Land!

Adding in his previous feats of slaying three Emperors in the Lanyun Sea and crushing a God Race Emperor in the Imperial City... in just a few short days.

Five Great Emperors had fallen!

The world was in an uproar!

"Crazy! This world has gone crazy!"

"Is Su Xuanchen human or a ghost?! Those were Great Emperors! Why is killing them like slaughtering chickens to him?!"

"The fifth overlord? No! He is the first overlord! The only overlord!"

"The Su Family... is going to be invincible!"

Countless forces were terrified.

Those forces that had once had friction with the Su Family prepared generous gifts overnight, and some even bound their own Saintesses, crying and shouting to go to the Su Family to apologize.

They were afraid that if they were a step too late, that god of slaughter would come knocking on their doors... Crimson Blood Imperial Court.

This was an ancient overlord force with a deep foundation, no weaker than the Chaos Holy Land.

The Crimson Blood Great Emperor sat upon his throne, looking at the intelligence in his hand, his hands shaking.

"Four Great Emperors..."

"Even that old Chaos ghost was poked to death..."

He swallowed hard, feeling a chill at the back of his neck.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Below, a minister asked in a trembling voice.

"We previously secretly supported the First Prince..."

"Shut up!!"

The Crimson Blood Great Emperor roared, scaring the minister into kneeling on the ground.

"What support? That's a rumor! It's slander!"

The Crimson Blood Great Emperor jumped up from his throne and paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.

"Quick! Go to the treasury!"

"Take out that Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Grass! And that piece of Dragon Blood Divine Gold!"

"Right, doesn't my most beloved young daughter always admire the Head of the Su Family?"

"Send her over! Send her over immediately!"

"Tell the Head of the Su Family that the Crimson Blood Imperial Court is willing to form a brotherhood alliance with the Su Family! Eternal friendship!"

The minister was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty... that is your most beloved princess..."

"What use is being beloved!"

The Crimson Blood Great Emperor shouted with bloodshot eyes.

"If we don't send her over, are we going to wait for Su Xuanchen to come killing his way here and wipe us out too?!"

"That guy is a god of slaughter right now! Whoever provokes him dies!"
