313: Chapter 313 The Immortal Emperor Descends to Earth, Stepping into the Heavenly Palace

Su Xuanchen stood atop nine Five-Clawed Golden Dragons, each a million feet long, wearing a Nine-Dragon Imperial Robe and a Purple Gold Crown. Around him, fire phoenixes cried, black tortoises expanded the seas, and white tigers roared. Xuanhuang Dragon Qi, like a materialized waterfall, poured down from the Nine Heavens, completely enveloping his entire being.

His supreme pressure, which transcended the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, was like an entire collapsed sky, pouring unreservedly onto the whole White Jade Square.

This was no peerless Prodigy at all, but a genuine Immortal Emperor descending upon the world!

Below.

Gu Hongchen, Ji Luanxi, and Chang Xiyue were all utterly stunned.

Gu Hongchen's legs went weak, and she had to use the biluo emperor sword to brace herself against the ground, barely managing not to collapse. Her beautiful eyes were wide and round, her pupils trembling violently within their sockets.

"He... he actually skipped all the Disciple levels and became the master of this Ancient Heavenly Palace?" Gu Hongchen's voice shook violently as she gasped for air. "How is this possible! This is the Ancient Heavenly Court that suppressed an entire era!"

Ji Luanxi was even more dumbfounded. She stood there blankly, looking down at the Golden Dragon Token in her hand, which was emitting a piercing golden light.

Just half an incense stick's time ago, she was still feeling smug about obtaining the rank of a core Golden Dragon Disciple, thinking she could finally hold her head high, even arrogantly mocking Su Xuanchen for not having a rank at all.

But now, looking at the figure in mid-air who resembled a deity, Ji Luanxi only felt an incomparable bitterness in her mouth.

"A Golden Dragon Disciple... compared to the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, is worth jack shit!" Ji Luanxi curled her lip in frustration, her cute little face instantly falling, and the Golden Dragon Token in her hand suddenly didn't seem so special anymore.

Gu Hongchen also gradually recovered from her initial extreme shock.

She looked up at Su Xuanchen's towering back, a deep sense of powerlessness appearing on her beautiful face.

"I actually harbored the delusion that I could catch up to his footsteps." Gu Hongchen smiled bitterly in her heart, her pride as a True Immortal having been utterly shattered. "With this kind of foundation and Luck, the gap between him and me has long since become an insurmountable chasm. This man is destined to be a monster who cuts across the ages and tramples all Prodigies under his feet!"

Just as everyone was overwhelmed with shock.

In mid-air.

Su Xuanchen looked down from above, his handsome face filled with absolute majesty. There was not a hint of emotion in his deep eyes, as if he had truly become that high and mighty supreme Dominator.

"Seeing this Emperor, why do you not kneel?!"

Su Xuanchen suddenly spoke, his voice like thunder from the Nine Heavens, exploding across the entire White Jade Square!

Along with this roar, a terrifying Immortal Emperor's pressure, like a hundred thousand Primordial Divine Mountains, ruthlessly pressed down on the three women below!

This pressure followed no logic, acting directly upon the deepest parts of the Divine Soul.

Gu Hongchen and Ji Luanxi felt their shoulders suddenly grow heavy, their knees bending uncontrollably as they instinctively prepared to kneel in worship.

At this critical moment.

A sharp glint of cunning suddenly flashed in Ji Luanxi's watery eyes. She was familiar with Su Xuanchen's character; how could this guy, who usually acted so improperly, suddenly become so serious?

"Su Xuanchen! Stop pretending to be a god! You're bullying people again!"

Ji Luanxi suddenly looked up and, enduring that terrifying pressure, shouted angrily at Su Xuanchen in the air!

This sharp cry was like a sharp sword, directly piercing through the heavy atmosphere.

"Pfft—"

Su Xuanchen couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

"Buzz!"

In that instant, the Immortal Emperor's pressure around him, which was enough to crush stars, vanished without a trace. The phantom images of the nine circling golden dragons, fire phoenix, black tortoise, and white tiger also quickly turned into golden light and retreated back into his body.

Su Xuanchen casually descended from the air, his handsome face once again wearing that infuriatingly playful grin.

"Oh my, it's just a joke, why so fierce?" Su Xuanchen spread his hands lazily and grinned at Ji Luanxi. "I didn't use my true Immortal Emperor's might just now, otherwise you all would have been flat on the ground long ago."

Seeing Su Xuanchen's improper behavior, Chang Xiyue stood to the side and shook her head helplessly. However, her ice-blue eyes were filled with an inseparable indulgence and tenderness. To her, whether Su Xuanchen was the high and mighty Lord of the Heavenly Palace or this prank-loving rogue husband, he was the man she had chosen.

Meanwhile, Gu Hongchen stood quietly to the side.

She gripped the biluo emperor sword tightly, her palms covered in cold sweat. Even though Su Xuanchen said it was just a joke, the moment that pressure descended, she had truly felt the fear of death.

"Too terrifying." Gu Hongchen felt a lingering fear in her heart, and her frustration at her own weakness spread wildly like weeds. "If he had truly intended to kill just now, I wouldn't even have had the right to resist."

To break the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Gu Hongchen took a deep breath and took the lead in suggesting, "Since Old Ancestor Su has already obtained the Legacy of the Heavenly Palace, let's go inside and take a look. This is, after all, the core of the Ancient Heavenly Court; perhaps there are other opportunities."

Her words immediately interrupted the bickering between Su Xuanchen and Ji Luanxi.

Ji Luanxi gave Su Xuanchen a fierce glare and walked huffily to Chang Xiyue's side, intimately taking her arm.

"Sister Xiyue, let's go! Ignore this big bad guy!" Ji Luanxi pulled Chang Xiyue along and walked toward the magnificent gates of the Heavenly Palace without looking back.

Seeing this, Su Xuanchen laughed arrogantly and followed them with a swaggering stride.

His hands couldn't stay still as he approached Ji Luanxi and, while she wasn't paying attention, flicked her smooth, full forehead with his finger.

"Pop!"

"Ouch!" Ji Luanxi clutched her forehead, the pain almost bringing tears to her eyes.

"You little brat, know your place." Su Xuanchen teased wickedly. "I am now the Lord of the Heavenly Palace. From now on, when you see me, you must call me Lord Immortal Emperor, understand?"

"Su Xuanchen! I'll kill you!" Ji Luanxi was so angry she started flailing her arms and legs, letting go of Chang Xiyue's arm to chase Su Xuanchen around the White Jade Square.

Watching the two of them chase each other ahead, Chang Xiyue stopped and turned to look at Gu Hongchen, who was half a step behind.

She keenly noticed the disappointment and frustration in the depths of Gu Hongchen's eyes.

"Elder Gu." Chang Xiyue's voice was gentle as she offered comfort. "My husband is a monster who cannot be measured by common logic. You don't need to compare yourself to him."

Chang Xiyue looked at Gu Hongchen with a sincere tone.

"The trials of this Ancient Heavenly Court are harsh. To be able to endure the pressure through your own strength and become a core White Dragon Disciple, such talent and perseverance are already top-tier even in the entire Xuanhuang Great World. Your future achievements will certainly be limitless."

Hearing Chang Xiyue's gentle comfort.

Gu Hongchen was slightly stunned, and then the tension in her heart visibly relaxed.

That's right, why should she compare herself to a monster who breaks eternal laws? As long as she continues to push her limits, she can also carve out her own path of invincibility in the future.

Gu Hongchen took a deep breath, and a light of confidence once again bloomed on her beautiful face.

She looked at Chang Xiyue and bowed slightly with sincerity, her eyes showing clear gratitude.

"Thank you for your guidance, Miss Xiyue. Hongchen has learned much."

Chang Xiyue smiled slightly and nodded gently.

Then, the group stepped into the Ancient Heavenly Palace together.
