186: My hands are itching

The void tore open.

A figure stepped out from within.

Su Xuanchen had returned.

He simply stood there, doing nothing at all.

Yet, the Laws of the Great Dao in the vicinity acted like subjects encountering their monarch, automatically retreating and buzzing with mournful cries.

Strands of Chaos Qi hung around his body, each one so heavy that the void continuously collapsed and reformed under its weight.

The Reincarnation Mark had completely integrated into his Emperor Realm Dao Fruit.

The insights from eight lives of Reincarnation were like an inexhaustible treasury, allowing his control over power to reach an inconceivable Realm.

“Mortal World Immortal...”

Su Xuanchen whispered softly and clenched his fist.

Crack.

The space within a ten-thousand-mile radius shattered like fragile glass under the force of that single grip.

He hadn't even used the Immortal Emperor Blood.

Relying solely on his current power, if he went all out, he could even fight an Immortal King!

With a thought,

Two items appeared out of thin air.

One was an ancient bone book wreathed in Grandmist Purple Qi, and the other was a bronze scroll engraved with Great Dao runes.

System rewards.

The complete version of the "Original True Scripture" and the middle volume of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Codex."

His Divine Thought swept over them.

Su Xuanchen's breathing hitched for a moment.

The next instant,

His pupils constricted violently!

His mind was shaken to its core!

This "Original True Scripture" was actually a supreme immortal scripture that led directly to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm!

Its profundity and vastness far exceeded any Emperor Scripture he had ever known!

And the middle volume of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Codex" was even more terrifying.

It pointed toward the Immortal King Realm!

What made Su Xuanchen's heart race even more was that these two scriptures could actually complement and verify each other!

The "Original True Scripture" expounded on the 'Beginning,' the source of all Laws.

The "Nine Tribulations Secret Codex" practiced 'Tribulation,' the path of destruction.

One creation and life, one destruction and death; they faintly formed a perfect Reincarnation!

“If my speculation is correct...”

Su Xuanchen's voice was raspy, his eyes filled with shock.

“Then the complete "Nine Tribulations Secret Codex" is likely a legendary... Immortal Emperor Scripture!”

He suppressed the wild joy in his heart, sat cross-legged, and began to comprehend them.

The first thing he tried was the "Nine Tribulations Secret Codex."

The moment the technique for the First Tribulation began to deduce in his mind—

“Boom!”

An indescribable force of destruction exploded within his body!

“Puff!”

Su Xuanchen spat out a mouthful of golden blood, and his aura instantly withered.

Crack!

His Saint Body, tempered a thousand times and long since indestructible, actually developed fine cracks!

Blood Dissolution! Soul Transformation!

This was intended to dissolve his entire cultivation, along with his Divine Soul and Physical Body, only to rebuild them anew amidst the silence of extinction!

What an overbearing technique!

“All Secret!”

Su Xuanchen dared not delay and immediately activated the supreme healing method.

Golden divine light flowed, and the terrifying injuries that would have caused any Great Emperor to perish were completely restored in an instant.

“That was too close.”

He felt a lingering fear.

In this Nine Tribulations Secret Codex, every tribulation was a life-or-death test; the slightest carelessness would result in the total destruction of body and soul.

With his current foundation, it wasn't enough to cross it safely.

Su Xuanchen immediately decided to temporarily give up on practicing this method, turning instead to comprehend the "Original True Scripture" and attempting to cross-reference the two.

However,

As soon as he stopped his comprehension, the terrifying aura that had just settled could no longer be suppressed.

That massive power belonging to a Quasi-Mortal World Immortal, mixed with the Dao rhythm of two supreme immortal scriptures, was like a supernova being detonated!

“Buzz—!”

An indescribably thick beam of immortal light shot up from the Su Family Ancestral Land, tearing through the firmament of the Yongyao Heaven Realm and piercing straight into the endless Universe!

In an instant,

The Kunxu Divine Domain shook!

In the Three Thousand Heavenly Realms, countless old monsters who had been in seclusion for untold ages opened their eyes simultaneously, looking toward the Su Family's direction in horror!

“Heavens! What is that?!”

“Such a terrifying aura! It's the Immortal Dao Laws! No mistake!”

“It's the Su Family! Su Xuanchen... has he made a Breakthrough?! Has he become a True Immortal?!”

The entire Xuanhuang Great World was in a complete uproar!

Countless Divine Thoughts came from all directions, attempting to spy on the Su Family Ancestral Land.

But as soon as their Divine Thoughts drew near, they were ground to pieces by that overbearing and peerless immortal light!

“Puff! Puff! Puff!”

Countless experts spat blood on the spot, their Divine Souls damaged.

“Do not peek! This kind of power is definitely not that of an ordinary True Immortal!”

Ancient beings who had lived through several epochs spoke with trembling voices.

“I once had the honor of seeing a True Immortal of an Immortal Race take action; their might was not even a ten-thousandth of this!”

“Hiss! Just how terrifying has Su Xuanchen's combat power become after his Breakthrough?”

“I'm afraid... he's enough to rival the top Quasi-Immortal Lords among those ancient Immortal Races!”

At this moment, in the heavens and myriad worlds, countless forces that had once had friction with the Su Family or harbored greedy designs were all terrified, deeply regretting their past actions.

The various Immortal Races and Supreme Immortal Dynasties reacted even more quickly.

“Quick! Prepare a generous gift!”

“Pass down my decree: immediately send an envoy to the Su Family to forge an eternal alliance!”

“From this day forward, the Su Family is our clan's most honored ally! Anyone who dares to be an enemy of the Su Family is a mortal enemy of our clan!”

For a time, the winds and clouds shifted.

The Su Family's prestige reached an unprecedented peak at this moment.

A newly rising Family now faintly had the status to stand as equals with those ancient Immortal Races that had been passed down for several epochs!

They awed the heavens!

The Immortal Hall.

Inside an ancient hall floating above the Nine Heavens.

Several Immortal Hall experts with unfathomable auras were observing the soaring phenomenon in the Su Family's direction through a water mirror.

“Hmph, a mere native of the Lower Realm, a lucky Breakthrough, yet he dares to make such a commotion.”

An Elder snorted disdainfully, his eyes filled with jealousy.

“No matter.”

Another Elder looked calm, seemingly indifferent.

“No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the sleeping Ancient Ancestor of our Immortal Hall? Can he be stronger than those Immortal Kings who have existed since the Immortal Ancient Era?”

“Once the Ancient Ancestor acts, he can suppress and kill him with a flip of his hand.”

Even though he said that,

His hand, hidden within his sleeve and trembling slightly, betrayed his inner lack of peace.

They tried to deduce Su Xuanchen's future.

However, within the water mirror, there was only a patch of blurred Chaos.

The heavenly secrets were shielded.

There was only one possibility for this.

Su Xuanchen's strength had already exceeded their deduction limits!

The Su Family Ancestral Land.

Su Xuanchen slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at the Divine Thoughts from various parties that were alarmed yet didn't dare to approach, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The "Original True Scripture" and "Nine Tribulations Secret Codex" were too Heaven-Defying to be fully understood in a single day.

Now, it was time to settle some old scores.

His calm eyes pierced through the endless void, looking in several different directions.

The Immortal Hall.

The Dark Immortal Realm.

The Chaos God King.

These fellows, every single one of them coveted the secrets on his body and the foundation of the Su Family.

Did they really think he, Su Xuanchen, was made of clay?

“Very well.”

Su Xuanchen stood up and stretched.

“I've just broken through, and my hands are itching quite a bit.”

A sky-toppling killing intent boiled in his chest.

He craved a hearty battle to test his current strength!

The next moment,

He raised his hand and pressed down lightly toward the void.

That beam of immortal light that had broken through the sky and shaken the myriad worlds, along with that terrifying aura that made countless old monsters tremble,

Instantly vanished without a trace.

As if it had never appeared.

The world returned to clarity.

Su Xuanchen stood with his hands behind his back, his white clothes as pure as snow, his expression indifferent.

He was waiting.

Waiting for those prey who didn't know death to deliver themselves to his door.
