152: The Immortal Dies

The phantom of the Demon Cave manifested intermittently in the sky above the myriad Divine Domains.

It was a corner of a blood-colored battlefield, where broken stars floated like dust, and the Laws of the Great Dao were shattered into deadly turbulence.

Countless powerhouses glimpsed that tragic battle, worthy of being recorded in the annals of the era, through this "Demon Mirror" spanning the sky.

They saw it.

They saw how that overbearing Peak Immortal of the Dark Great World, radiating the contradictory auras of decay and immortality, had his Physical Body crushed by a single punch from the white-robed youth.

The Immortal body cracked inch by inch, turning into billions of fragments of flesh and blood laced with dark light, covering the entire Void Realm.

Every fragment contained terrifying Demonic Energy sufficient to pollute a Small World.

"Roar—!!"

The Immortal's remnant soul roared.

Those fragments of flesh and blood writhed frantically, trying to aggregate once more.

But a golden Law chain emerged from the Void Realm without warning, like the shackles of a Heavenly Emperor, firmly suppressing that restless flesh and preventing them from reuniting.

"Ant!!"

"Do you think you can kill me like this?!"

The Immortal's will roared, causing the Divine Souls of countless observers to sting and nearly shatter.

"Kill you?"

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

He looked at the writhing flesh and smiled coldly.

"No."

"I just want you to die a bit more thoroughly."

He raised his right hand and made a grasping motion toward the Void Realm of flesh and blood.

"Heaven and earth as the mill, the Great Dao as the disc!"

"Crush... for me!!"

A millstone woven from Chaos Qi and Beginning Demon Qi manifested in his palm.

The millstone turned, emitting a terrifying sound that made all Daos wail, carrying the supreme power to obliterate eternity as it ground down heavily upon the flesh and remnant soul.

"Ah—!!!"

A shrill scream echoed through the Demon Abyss.

The Immortal's flesh was ground into pure energy under the millstone, and his remnant soul was worn away inch by inch within it, making a "sizzling" sound.

"No!!"

"This seat is unwilling!!"

At the moment of life and death, the Immortal erupted in a final madness.

"Immortal Weapon! Come forth!!"

An Ink-black Battle Spear, surrounded by endless dark runes and radiating a sharpness that could slay all things, charged out from the blood mist.

This was his Lifebound Immortal Weapon, nurtured for several eras!

As soon as the battle spear appeared, the Demon Abyss shook, and even the rotation of the heaven and earth millstone stalled.

"Kill!!"

The battle spear turned into a bolt of black lightning that pierced through heaven and earth, stabbing toward Su Xuanchen's forehead at a speed exceeding the limits of time and space.

This was a certain-kill strike!

However.

Su Xuanchen stood his ground, neither dodging nor avoiding.

He didn't even lift an eyelid.

He simply reached out his right hand and made a simple grab for the incoming battle spear.

"Clang—!!!"

A loud sound of clashing metal rang out.

That Immortal Battle Spear, capable of piercing through a True Immortal's body, was actually... caught barehanded by Su Xuanchen!

"What?!"

The Immortal's final will cried out in shock.

"Is that all?"

Su Xuanchen held the tip of the spear, his eyes disdainful.

"Shatter... for me."

He applied a little force with his fingers.

"Crack—!"

That indestructible Immortal Battle Spear was incredibly fragile in his hand.

It cracked inch by inch!

Turning into a sky full of fragments!

"No..."

The Immortal's final consciousness dissipated in despair.

The heaven and earth millstone closed completely.

That flesh and remnant soul were completely ground into nothingness.

In its place, only a fist-sized lump of dark-gold liquid remained, extremely condensed yet radiating endless wickedness.

Immortal Essence!

The lifelong essence of a Peak Immortal!

The moment this essence appeared, countless old monsters in seclusion across the Xuanhuang Great World opened their eyes, their gazes greedily cast toward the Sacred Ruins Continent.

That was a supreme divine object capable of allowing them to break their shackles and extend their lives by ten thousand years!

But soon, this greed was replaced by deeper fear and awe.

They saw the man in white as snow.

The monster who... crushed an Immortal with his bare hands!

Who would dare snatch something from his hands?

Do they have a death wish?!

...Outside, all was silent.

Countless powerhouses stared blankly at the images in the Demon Mirror, their minds completely blank.

Won?

Just like that... he won?

That was a Peak Immortal of the Dark Great World!

He was actually slaughtered by Emperor Su like a chicken, so effortlessly?!

"Husband..."

Inside the Purple Heaven Palace of the Su Family.

Gu Lingshuang, Chang Xiyue, and the other women looked at that invincible figure, their eyes reddening as the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell.

That was their man.

The only... myth in this world!

...At the bottom of the Demon Abyss.

Su Xuanchen put away the heaven and earth millstone and looked at the lump of Immortal Essence.

He sensed that the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Primordial Demon Body within him was sending out a signal of extreme desire.

As long as he swallowed it, his Physical Body could take another step forward, perhaps even directly breaking through to an Immortal King's body!

But he didn't move.

He simply waved his hand, sealed the essence, and threw it into the myriad things mother qi cauldron.

Now was not the time.

The Dao Xuan Saintess was still waiting for him.

He turned around, stepped out, and appeared on the altar.

The Dao Xuan Saintess leaned against the stone wall, her beautiful face full of shock and... an unusual blush.

She stared blankly at Su Xuanchen, her clear eyes sparkling.

"How... how can he be so strong..."

"Is this... his true strength?"

"I... actually worried that he would die earlier?"

The Dao Xuan Saintess's heart was filled with mixed emotions: relief at surviving the disaster, and embarrassment at her previous thoughts.

Even more so, an emotion called "admiration" was growing wildly in her heart.

She looked at Su Xuanchen's tall and upright figure, at his peerlessly handsome face, her heart racing and her cheeks burning.

"Are you okay?"

Su Xuanchen walked up to her, knelt down, and spoke softly.

"Ah?!"

The Dao Xuan Saintess was like a startled deer. Coming back to her senses, she instinctively tried to stand up, but her injuries were triggered, her delicate body softened, and she was about to fall.

Su Xuanchen was quick and caught her in his arms.

Fragrant, soft jade in his arms.

The Dao Xuan Saintess's face turned completely red in an instant, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"Thank... thank you..."

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz as she buried her head in Su Xuanchen's chest, not daring to look at him at all.

"Why be so polite?"

Su Xuanchen smiled and channeled pure life Origin into her body to help her heal.

"You are my designated wife; it's only right that I save you."

"Who... who is your wife!"

The Dao Xuan Saintess punched him in shame and indignation, but it was soft and lacked strength, carrying a hint of acting spoiled.

Just then.

The news that the Demon Cave crisis had been resolved quickly spread throughout the entire Xuanhuang Great World.

All the major Divine Domains, Imperial Clans, and Immortal Dynasties were in an uproar!

Numerous leaders of various forces immediately gave orders.

"Quick! Prepare generous gifts! No! Bring the most beautiful Divine Maiden of our clan as well!"

"Go to the Su Family! Befriend the Su Family! At any cost!!"

Inside the Su Family, it turned into a sea of joy.

"The Old Ancestor is invincible!!"

"The Su Family shall prosper!!"

Su Jingyuan and the other clan elders were moved to tears.

Su Xuanchen comforted the Dao Xuan Saintess in his arms, but his gaze had already moved past her, looking deeper into the Demon Abyss.

There, the dark Boundary Gate flickered.

The remaining dark creatures, led by the three Dark Great Emperors, were trembling.

The corners of Su Xuanchen's mouth slowly curled up, his expression cold.

"The dessert after the meal should also be served."
