271: Chapter 271 Void Storm, Ancient Emperor's Appearance

"Great Immortal! Two young ladies! Something is wrong up ahead!"

The massive body of the Ice Spirit Snow Ape King shuddered violently, his rough, grating voice filled with intense terror.

Everyone looked up and saw that the originally bottomless dark Void Realm ahead was now visibly becoming increasingly violent.

The violent Void Realm turbulence churned crazily like boiling water. The Void Realm rifts, each capable of tearing apart a Great Emperor Realm expert, along with purple-black destructive lightning as thick as mountains, were not only several times more powerful than before, but their frequency of appearance had reached a hair-raising level!

"Why did this hellish place suddenly go berserk?!" Gu Hongchen gripped the biluo emperor sword tightly, her stunningly beautiful face filled with gravity, fine cold sweat seeping from her forehead.

No sooner had she finished speaking, "Sshh-la—!"

Without any warning of energy fluctuations, a pitch-black Void Realm rift tens of thousands of feet long, like the gaping abyss of Death's maw, appeared abruptly and without omen directly in front of the myriad things mother qi cauldron! It was less than ten feet away from them!

That terrifying devouring force erupted instantly, threatening to grind everything into nothingness.

"Ah!" Ji Luanxi cried out in fright, instinctively grabbing onto the corner of Su Xuanchen's clothes.

At that critical moment!

There was not a hint of panic on Su Xuanchen's usually lazy face. His eyes were extremely cold and sharp, and his hands formed seals as if they were phantoms.

"Turn for me!"

"Hum!" The myriad things mother qi cauldron emitted a heaven-shaking hum. Under Su Xuanchen's monstrous control, the massive cauldron body actually forced a bizarre ninety-degree right-angle lateral shift in mid-air!

"Swish!" Carrying everyone, the precious cauldron narrowly brushed past the edge of that Void Realm rift in an extremely thrilling manner!

Gu Hongchen slumped onto the couch. Through the mother qi barrier, she clearly saw the scene inside that rift—it was an absolute dark Chaos devoid of life, where even time and space had been completely erased! Just by looking at it for a glance, she felt as if her Divine Soul was about to be completely sucked in, and her scalp went numb.

But before one wave subsided, another rose!

Before everyone could even catch their breath, "Boom!"

A pitch-black lightning bolt, more than ten times thicker than before, like a world-destroying black Dragon, silently smashed down from the depths of the Void Realm above their heads!

The speed was too fast! Even the Divine Sense of a True Immortal could not capture it!

Su Xuanchen had no time to maneuver the cauldron to dodge. With a ruthless look in his eyes, he poured all the immortal and demonic qi in his body, without reservation, frantically into the myriad things mother qi cauldron.

"Take it head-on for me!"

"Bang—!!!"

The pitch-black lightning slammed solidly into the mysterious yellow mother qi hanging down from the myriad things mother qi cauldron. The terrifying power of destruction exploded instantly, causing the entire cauldron to shake violently, and the mother qi barrier rippled intensely from the impact.

Although the cauldron protected the core area, the terrifying destructive lightning that dissipated from the impact still spread crazily along the edge of the barrier.

"Roar—!"

An Ice Spirit Snow Ape at the Peak Emperor Realm following behind accidentally brushed against a trace of the aftermath of that pitch-black lightning with its massive body.

"Crack!"

There was no blood splattering, no flesh and bone flying. The moment the Emperor Realm Snow Ape's immensely thick right arm touched the lightning, along with its indestructible bones and flesh, it directly turned into dust filling the sky! It was completely erased!

"Awoo!" The Snow Ape collapsed onto the ice, rolling crazily in pain, shrieking incessantly.

"This... how is this possible?!"

The Ice Spirit Snow Ape King looked at the miserable state of his subordinate, his eyes nearly popping out in fear. His massive body trembled, his face filled with uncertainty.

"Great Immortal! Something is wrong! When little monkey traveled through this Void Realm before, although it was dangerous, the level of peril was absolutely not even one-tenth of this! It's simply as if the entire Void Realm is targeting us!"

Su Xuanchen frowned, his gaze sweeping across the extremely violent scene of destruction all around with great depth.

He rubbed his chin, his mind rapidly deducing the situation.

"The Law of this chaotic Void Realm is extremely exclusive." Su Xuanchen sneered and stated his deduction with absolute certainty, "You were a monkey fighting alone before, so your target was small. Now, with the four of us plus the three of you giant beasts, the aura of living people is too strong, and there are too many of us, which directly triggered a chain reaction of rejection from this Void Realm."

"Then... what do we do now? Retreat?" Gu Hongchen swallowed hard, her voice trembling.

"Retreat?" Su Xuanchen raised his eyebrows arrogantly. "In my dictionary, the word 'retreat' does not exist!"

He stood up abruptly, his white robes rustling in the wind, his body surrounded by immortal and demonic qi and Chaos immortal light shining to the extreme.

"Everyone sit tight! Keep up with my rhythm!"

Su Xuanchen shouted, his hands suddenly forming an extremely profound seal.

"Boom!" The myriad things mother qi cauldron erupted with blinding light. Su Xuanchen actually directly activated the "Xing Character Secret" among the Nine Secrets and spread his Divine Sense out completely without any reservation!

He was going to use teleportation directly in this absolute forbidden zone where even a True Immortal could fall at any moment!

"Great Immortal! You can't do that!" Seeing Su Xuanchen's actions, the Ice Spirit Snow Ape King was so scared he wet his pants, and his rough voice let out an extremely shrill scream.

"Teleporting in this chaotic Void Realm is like an old man eating arsenic—you're tired of living! If we hit a single invisible Void Realm rift, we're all done for!"

Gu Hongchen's pretty face was also deathly pale. She stood up abruptly, wanting to speak out to stop this extremely crazy, suicidal act.

"Old Ancestor Su! You must not..."

However, before she could finish her words, Su Xuanchen slightly turned his head. Those deep eyes, like ancient stars, looked at Gu Hongchen extremely calmly.

"Trust me."

Just three extremely plain words.

There was no overbearing command, no arrogant oath.

But these three words, combined with Su Xuanchen's absolute confidence of remaining calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, hit Gu Hongchen's heart like a warm current possessing absolute power.

Gu Hongchen shuddered. Looking at the back of this man in front of her, the extremely strong fear and anxiety in her heart dissolved completely in an instant like melting snow. She finally let go of all her defenses.

Gu Hongchen turned her head and glanced at Chang Xiyue and Ji Luanxi, who were sitting to the side, calm from beginning to end, and even had the leisure to eat fruit.

She suddenly understood profoundly why these two women could always remain so calm regardless of the terrifying desperate situation they faced. Because they knew that as long as this man was there, even if the sky fell, he could hold it up with one hand!

"Swish—!!!"

Under Su Xuanchen's control, the myriad things mother qi cauldron instantly disappeared from where it was!

Su Xuanchen pushed the "Xing Character Secret" and "Qian Character Secret" among the Nine Secrets to their absolute limit. His monstrous Divine Sense, like countless extremely sensitive tentacles, anticipated the birth of every rift and the trajectory of every lightning bolt in the Void Realm ahead!

"Hum! Hum! Hum!" The precious cauldron turned into a dazzling aurora, launching a heart-stopping, life-or-death sprint in this dark Void Realm filled with fatal dangers!

The speed was extreme! Dodge left! Dash right! Emergency stop! Soar high!

Su Xuanchen planned the route with hair-breadth precision.

The myriad things mother qi cauldron brushed past the bottomless Void Realm rifts countless times. The closest time, the edge of the rift even touched the outermost layer of the mother qi barrier, scraping up a harsh, screeching sound!

Countless times, the destructive lightning struck down fiercely, almost grazing the bottom of the cauldron, the violent electric arcs even completely shattering the Void Realm below!

During this extremely crazy, high-speed journey, those two Peak Emperor Realm Ice Spirit Snow Apes had long since curled up into balls in fear, lying at the bottom of the cauldron like two frightened quails, clutching their heads tightly, trembling, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Time seemed to lose its meaning in this extreme tension and excitement. It was unknown how much time had passed.

"Huu—"

The deafening thunder and the hair-raising sounds of the Void Realm being sliced gradually became faint.

The chaotic Void Realm, which had been violent to the extreme and seemed to want to devour everything, was visibly settling down. Ahead, a glimmer of extremely ancient and vicissitudinous light faintly appeared.

"Swish!"

The myriad things mother qi cauldron broke through the last obstacle of the Void Realm turbulence and hovered steadily in a relatively calm Void Realm.

Everyone had miraculously succeeded in crossing the most dangerous core area of this Void Realm!

"We survived... we actually survived!"

The Ice Spirit Snow Ape King crawled up from the ground in a sorry state. Looking at the calm Void Realm around him, his huge eyes erupted with incredible ecstasy!

"Great Immortal's Divine Might! Great Immortal is invincible!"

The Snow Ape King danced with excitement, his rough, grating voice shouting crazily in the Void Realm. He simply couldn't believe his eyes!

You have to know, when he traveled through this Void Realm alone before, facing dangers more than ten times weaker than this, he had been extremely cautious, walking on thin ice, and it took him nearly a month to barely finish this journey!

But now! With the level of danger increasing dozens of times, Su Xuanchen, carrying them, this bunch of burdens, actually took less than half a day to forcefully and arrogantly pass through!

Such means, such spirit, completely overturned the Snow Ape King's perception!

The Snow Ape King raised his head in shock. He looked at Su Xuanchen, who was standing at the very front of the myriad things mother qi cauldron, dressed in spotless white, standing with his hands behind his back.

That tall, sword-like back, that invincible demeanor of viewing the heroes of the world as nothing and viewing the eternal forbidden zones as his own backyard.

In that instant, the Snow Ape King's scarlet eyes shrank violently.

From Su Xuanchen's not-so-broad back, he faintly saw the supreme phantom of an Ancient Heavenly Court Ancient Emperor who once sat high above the Nine Heavens, ruled over All Heavens and Myriad Realms, and suppressed the ages!

That absolute majesty, transcending above all living beings, caused the Snow Ape King's heart to stop beating. He opened his mouth full of fangs, unable to say a word, and just stood there stunned on the spot.
