140: System upgrade, the Holy Race's Golden Dragon of Fortune!

In Purple Heaven Palace, the night was as calm as water.

Yu Xin stood quietly by the window.

Moonlight spilled onto her cold profile, reflecting an unconcealable worry.

"What's wrong?"

A pair of large, warm hands wrapped around her waist from behind.

Su Xuanchen rested his chin on her fragrant shoulder, inhaling the faint scent as he asked softly.

"Still thinking about that Treasure Trove?"

Yu Xin's body stiffened slightly, then she relaxed, leaning back into that broad embrace.

"Yes."

She nodded, her voice cold yet tinged with helplessness.

"It contains the core power of my past life, and... the foundation needed to oppose the Immortal Hall."

Saying this, she turned around and looked up at Su Xuanchen, her beautiful eyes filled with conflict.

"But... once I move to reclaim that power, it will inevitably alert my enemies from back then."

"The Immortal Hall... has an Immortal King presiding over it."

"With our current strength, we can't afford to provoke them yet."

Immortal King.

These two words weighed heavily on her heart.

That was a supreme existence truly standing at the end of the Great Dao, looking down upon eternal eras.

Even though Su Xuanchen's current combat power was Heaven-Defying and he could crush a Great Emperor to death, he was still not enough in front of an Immortal King.

Su Xuanchen was silent for a moment.

He looked at the Primeval Human King before him—who had once commanded the winds and clouds but was now cautious for fear of involving him—and a warm current surged in his heart, along with a sense of urgency.

"Yu Xin."

Su Xuanchen took her hand and looked at her seriously.

"You know that my way of becoming stronger... is a bit special."

Yu Xin's face flushed; she naturally knew what he was talking about.

This bad seed relied on having children to grow stronger, which was unique in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

"So..."

Su Xuanchen grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Wait for me for a few more years."

"Give me a little time to... 'Cultivate' more."

"Once I achieve Immortal Ascension, forget the Immortal Hall—even if an Immortal Emperor comes, I'll twist his head off for you to kick like a ball."

Looking at his confident (shameless) manner, the gloom in Yu Xin's heart miraculously dissipated by more than half.

"Okay."

She nodded gently, the corners of her mouth curling up like melting snow.

"I'll listen to you."

"However..."

She reached out a finger and poked Su Xuanchen's chest.

"You have to work harder."

"My enemies won't wait too long."

"As you command, Madam!"

Su Xuanchen laughed heartily and swept her up in his arms.

"There's no time like the present."

"To take down the Immortal Hall, let's start working hard right now!"

"Ah... don't mess around..."

"This is Cultivate! This is serious business!"

...In the following days, the Su Family welcomed a grand event.

Su Xuanchen's grand wedding!

This time, it was no longer a small affair, but a wedding of the century that shocked the entire Three Thousand Heavenly Realms.

The lineup of brides was so luxurious it was outrageous.

There was a stunning envoy from the God Race.

There was the Azure Revered Master from the Chaos Holy Land.

There were also several princesses from the Yongyao Imperial Court, as well as Saintesses and Goddesses sent by various immortal forces... On this day, the True Saint Continent was adorned in red for ten thousand miles, and the feast lasted for three days and three nights.

Su Xuanchen was truly giving it his all.

To deal with the coming crisis and to support Yu Xin, he transformed into a heartless "seeding machine."

Working day and night, he gave his all.

Fortunately, his body was made of iron; otherwise, even a Great Emperor would have died of exhaustion in bed.

Hard work pays off.

A few months later.

Good news arrived one after another... Inside Purple Heaven Palace.

Listening to the succession of happy news, Su Xuanchen's mouth was almost crooked from smiling.

Was this just pregnancy?

These were clearly walking experience packs and Divine-Grade rewards!

At the moment the last Goddess was confirmed pregnant.

In Su Xuanchen's mind, that long-awaited System notification finally rang out like heavenly music.

[Ding! Detected a significant increase in the number and quality of the host's Family descendants!]

[Family Luck has skyrocketed! Hidden achievement reached—"Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage"!]

[Congratulations to the host! The Su Family's rank has been promoted!]

[Promoted from "Immortal Imperial Clan" to—"Primeval Saint Clan"!]

[Ding! Distributing Promotion Grand Gift Pack!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Golden Dragon of Destiny (Giant) x1!]

"Rumble—!!!"

As the System's voice faded.

Above the Su Family's ancestral land, the sky split open.

A golden dragon billions of miles long roared out of the Void Realm.

It was too massive.

So large that it obscured the sun, moon, and stars; so large that every living being in the Yongyao Heaven Realm could clearly see its golden scales.

That was Luck manifested in physical form!

"Roar—!!!"

The Golden Dragon of Destiny let out a dragon roar that shook the heavens, then dove headfirst into the Su Family's ancestral land, merging into the Su Family's earth veins.

"Buzz!"

.

The entire Su Family underwent earth-shaking changes.

The Spiritual Qi concentration skyrocketed a hundredfold, turning into liquid spiritual rain that poured down.

Originally withered plants became spirits, and ordinary rocks turned into spiritual jade.

"Crack! Crack!"

Countless Su Family members who had been stuck at Bottlenecks for years achieved an immediate Breakthrough under this Luck.

"I... I broke through?!"

"Saint! Hahaha! This old man has entered the Saint rank!"

Cries of wild joy echoed through the clouds.

Within the Su Family, everyone was like a dragon!

Deep within Purple Heaven Palace.

Su Xuanchen sat cross-legged, surrounded by dense purple-gold Luck.

He was the head of the Su Family and the greatest beneficiary of this Luck.

"Boom—!!!"

The Bottleneck within his body shattered like paper.

His cultivation broke through to the Great Emperor rank.

However, he was still one Emperor Tribulation away from truly attaining the Great Emperor realm.

Su Xuanchen clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power within him that was enough to destroy heaven and earth.

Body of the Great Dao, Major Achievement!

Chaos Immortal Bone!

Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Primordial Demon Body, Perfection!

Plus the "He Who Transforms into Self" and a set of Immortal Artifacts... "The current me..."

Su Xuanchen opened his eyes, golden light piercing through the Void Realm.

"Even without external help, I can tear apart a True Immortal with my bare hands!"

"If I use all my trump cards..."

"Quasi-Immortal King, I can even fight one!"

This feeling of controlling everything made him somewhat intoxicated.

"Right, there's also that surprise."

Su Xuanchen took out the daluo immortal sword.

The sword's body vibrated, letting out a joyful sword hum.

A Restriction originally sealed deep within the sword's body quietly unraveled at this moment.

"Buzz!"

A drop of blood, bright red and exuding a supreme aura, emerged from the sword's body.

As soon as that drop of blood appeared.

The surrounding time and space froze.

The Myriad Daos wailed, and Laws retreated.

This drop of blood was the only truth in this world, the only Dominator.

"This is..."

Su Xuanchen's pupils constricted, and his breathing stopped.

The System's voice sounded at the right time:

[Ding! Detected "Supreme Emperor Blood"!]

[Note: The host can refine it into his body to temporarily gain the Peak combat power of an Immortal King!]

"Holy crap?!"

Su Xuanchen couldn't help but curse.

Peak combat power of an Immortal King?!

This wasn't just a surprise; this was a nuclear bomb!

With this drop of blood, why would he still fear the Immortal Hall?

If the Immortal Hall dared to come, he would turn it into ruins!

He carefully put the Emperor Blood back into the sword; this was his ultimate trump card and must not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Just as Su Xuanchen was immersed in the joy of his skyrocketing strength.

"Rumble—!!!"

Suddenly, a loud noise ten thousand times more terrifying than the descent of the Golden Dragon of Destiny came from outside.

The entire Yongyao Heaven Realm—no, the entire Three Thousand Heavenly Realms—was shaking violently.

Primordial Immortal Realm!

It's here!

"Crack! Crack!"

The Laws of heaven and earth became completely disordered at this moment.

The originally clear heavenly secrets instantly became a mass of Chaos; even Great Emperors skilled in deduction were now as good as blind.

"Great opportunity!"

Su Xuanchen stood up, his eyes flashing with brilliant light.

"Heavenly secrets are obscured, and the Myriad Daos are collapsing."

"It's the perfect time to fish in troubled waters!"

His figure flashed, appearing directly outside Yu Xin's bedchamber.

"Yu Xin!"

Su Xuanchen's voice was filled with dominance.

"Do it!"

"Take back your power now!"

Soon, the consciousness of the Primeval Human King took over Yu Xin's body and began to reclaim her power.

As the Reincarnation of the Human King, she had left behind countermeasures when she fell.

Ensuring that even if she reincarnated, she could gradually reclaim her former cultivation.

This was the real reason why Su Xuanchen's Heaven-Defying rise in strength was mistaken by many forces and experts as him being the Reincarnation of an ancient powerhouse.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort exploded between heaven and earth without warning.

The sound wasn't loud.

But it was like a heavy hammer, smashing deep into everyone's Soul.

A terrifying pressure of the Immortal Dao, transcending all living beings, swept out from the Primordial Immortal Realm like a world-ending tsunami.

"Thump! Thump!"

Throughout the Yongyao Heaven Realm, countless Cultivators fell to their knees like dumplings under this pressure, trembling.

True Immortal!

A living True Immortal had descended!

A massive hand that obscured the sky reached out from the Primordial Immortal Realm, ignoring the distance of space, and grabbed toward the sky above the Su Family.

Atop that palm, Chaos Qi swirled, and the palm lines were like mountain ranges and valleys, exuding an aura of despair.

"Su Xuanchen!"
