158: He severed one of the arms of the near-immortal king.

Su Xuanchen crushed the final wisp of the Immortal's remnant Soul.

He looked up at the Boundary Gate, which had widened to hundreds of zhang due to the impact of the self-detonation.

Beyond the Boundary Gate, it was no longer a void of darkness, but a star vortex expanding frantically.

It transformed into the greedy maw of a hungry beast, devouring the galaxy, tearing at the Laws, and emitting a terrifying aura that made hearts tremble.

Boom—!!!

A terrifying will descended from the end of that vortex!

The Dark Great Realm.

The Quasi-Immortal King sitting upon the throne of white bones sensed it.

The Immortals under his command were completely wiped out.

The chess pieces he had placed were all uprooted.

The plan to infect the Xuanhuang Great World had utterly failed!

Fury!

An endless fury, enough to incinerate the sea of stars, ignited in his chest!

Roar—!!!

A roar that crossed endless time, space, and dimensions exploded in the depths of the Souls of all living beings in the Xuanhuang Great World!

That Quasi-Immortal King moved.

He raised his hand.

A single hand.

A terrifying giant hand that blotted out the sun, wreathed in Immortal devilish light and large enough to grasp an ancient planet of life, reached out boldly from the star vortex!

It crushed space and ground the Laws to dust, pressing down toward Su Xuanchen with a world-ending power capable of sinking ten thousand realms!

Just the aura emitted by that hand caused the entire Kunxu Divine Domain to wail in agony.

The earth cracked, and mountains and rivers sank.

Even the Yongyao Heaven Realm, hundreds of millions of miles away, felt this despairing pressure.

Above the firmament, the sun and moon lost their light, and the stars trembled.

The apocalypse had arrived ahead of schedule!

"What... what is that?!"

"Heavens! Has a King of the Dark Great World made a move?!"

Countless old monsters in seclusion were startled awake, looking toward the Sacred Ruins Continent in horror, their Divine Souls trembling.

Within the Longevity Immortal Clan, several ancient, weathered auras that had slept for several epochs quietly awakened, casting solemn gazes.

The whole world was shocked!

Before the Boundary Gate.

The Dao Xuan Saintess's face turned pale; under that pressure, even standing became a luxury, and her delicate body swayed.

Su Xuanchen reached out, pulled her into his embrace, and protected her behind him.

He looked up at the descending giant hand, and a change finally appeared on his habitually calm and indifferent face.

It wasn't fear.

But rather... the coldness and impatience of being provoked by an ant.

"Finally, someone decent has come?"

He whispered.

Boom—!!!

A terrifying aura, not a bit weaker than that of the Quasi-Immortal King, erupted from Su Xuanchen's body!

The Nine Secrets activated!

He Who Transforms into Self!

Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Primordial Demon Body, fully unleashed!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Three figures, identical to him yet with different auras, stepped out from his body.

One was wreathed in Chaos Qi, like an ancient god from the creation of the world.

One was clad in Immortal King armor, holding the daluo immortal sword, peerlessly sharp.

One had Devilish Qi soaring to the heavens, with three heads and six arms, stepping upon a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, domineering and unparalleled.

All three Clones possessed Su Xuanchen's Peak combat power!

The four figures stood side by side, and that peerless Divine Might, a Fusion of Immortal, Demon, and Chaos, actually withstood the pressure of the giant hand head-on, and even... showed a trend of suppressing it back!

"What?!"

A cry of surprise and doubt came from beyond the Boundary Gate.

Su Xuanchen didn't waste words.

His true body, holding the daluo immortal sword, slashed out a sword strike toward the descending giant fist!

Clang—!!!

There was no sword light.

Only a Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao that shook the Universe and made the ten thousand paths resonate!

Puchi!

A soft sound.

That indestructible giant fist, capable of crushing stars, was actually... split down the middle by this sword strike!

A sword scar deep enough to see bone appeared on the fist's edge!

Black Immortal Divine Blood poured down like a waterfall, each drop crushing the Void Realm and corroding the earth.

"You seek death!!"

The Quasi-Immortal King was enraged!

He closed his five fingers, transforming them into a black heavenly blade that spanned heaven and earth, sweeping toward Su Xuanchen.

Wherever the blade light passed, space shattered like paper, and the Laws were all annihilated.

"Hmph!"

Su Xuanchen's Chaos Clone snorted coldly, advancing instead of retreating.

He formed a fist seal and punched out.

Heavenly Emperor Fist!

When the fist was thrown, the ten thousand paths submitted!

Boom—!

That black blade light, which was enough to slay a Great Emperor, was actually incredibly fragile under this punch, shattering on the spot!

"Now!"

A sharp light flashed in Su Xuanchen's true body's eyes.

Xing Character Secret!

His figure was like a ghost, ignoring the distance of space, appearing on the back of that giant hand.

He was as small as a speck of dust.

The hand, however, was as vast as a continent.

"Slash again!"

Su Xuanchen gripped the sword with both hands, pouring all his Divine Power into it, and slashed down fiercely at the same spot on the back of the hand!

Chii—!

The daluo immortal sword revealed its sharp edge, tearing through the defense of the Immortal Laws.

"Ah!!!"

A roar of pain came from beyond the Boundary Gate.

A bottomless wound was carved into the back of the giant hand, blood light soaring and dyeing half the sky red!

The Quasi-Immortal King was afraid.

He wanted to withdraw his arm.

The Boundary Gate of this Xuanhuang Great World was too fragile; it couldn't support the descent of his true body at all.

If they continued fighting, he would have to leave this arm behind!

"Want to leave?"

Su Xuanchen smiled, a cruel smile.

"Too late!"

His three-headed and six-armed Demon God Clone raised all six arms simultaneously, tightly hugging the arm that wanted to retract into the Boundary Gate.

Su Xuanchen's true body and the other Clone simultaneously raised their daluo immortal swords.

"This sword strike..."

Su Xuanchen poured all his strength, all his Dao and Laws, into the blade.

"...shall send you to the afterlife!"

Buzz—!!!

A brilliant sword light that spanned billions of star rivers and illuminated the eternal heavens soared into the sky!

Its target was not the arm.

But rather, following the arm through the Boundary Gate, it pointed directly at the Quasi-Immortal King's... head!

"No!!!"

A roar of extreme terror came from beyond the Boundary Gate.

The Quasi-Immortal King sensed the fatal crisis and retreated frantically, trying to dodge this certain-kill sword strike.

Puchi—!

The sword light was too fast.

So fast it surpassed time and space.

In the end, it failed to hit his head, but it swept past his shoulder!

The entire arm connecting the two worlds was severed at the shoulder!

The giant hand that blotted out the sky lost its master's control and fell heavily, crashing into the endless void cracks.

From beyond the Boundary Gate, only a howl full of pain and malice remained.

The whole world was shocked!

In the entire Xuanhuang Great World, the minds of all living beings who witnessed this scene were left blank.

He... he severed an arm of a Quasi-Immortal King?!

Is this a myth?!

The Dao Xuan Saintess leaned in the embrace of Su Xuanchen's Chaos Clone, staring blankly at that invincible figure like a god, her eyes full of pride and infatuation.

This was her man!

Su Xuanchen floated in the air, looking at the severed arm, his brow slightly furrowed.

"Pity."

"I couldn't chop off that dog's head with one strike."

He shook his head, not satisfied with this result.

Then, he turned around.

His cold eyes fixed on the frantically rotating star vortex.

"Leaving you is also a disaster."

Su Xuanchen raised the daluo immortal sword again.

On the blade, it was no longer brilliant Immortal light.

But rather... Chaos Qi enough to return all things to the void!

"Shatter... for me!"

A sword strike fell!

There was no sound.

Only an indescribable sword light pierced through the eternal night.

The star vortex connecting the two worlds and devouring the endless star river shattered inch by inch under this sword light, turning into nothingness like a reflection of the moon in water.

The Boundary Gate was completely destroyed!

"Ah!!! Su Xuanchen!!!"

From the Dark Great World came the incompetent, exasperated rage of that Quasi-Immortal King.

Su Xuanchen put away the Immortal sword and picked his ear, looking disgusted.

"Noisy."

The Devil's Den crisis was completely ended.
