460: Su Chen's dual identity

Elder Fu said that Su Chen was at most an Acquired Ancient God. Given their strength, it would definitely not be difficult to defeat Su Chen.

The Human Dao still had quite a few Acquired Ancient Gods; it would not be difficult to have them entangle the Divine Court Remnants. As long as the Divine Lord was dealt with, the remaining Tongtian would pose no threat.

Su Chen looked at the two of them, a cold sneer appearing on his lips.

"You two are not qualified."

As he spoke, he slightly raised his hand, and the surrounding space came to a complete halt. Everything fell into a state of deathly silence.

What... is this?

The Cultivators of the Human Dao, including the two Heavenly Venerates, revealed expressions of confusion. They only felt their thoughts becoming extremely sluggish, as if they had fallen into some kind of viscous space.

The sluggishness of their thoughts made it so they could not even react in time.

Su Chen's voice was calm and indifferent as he stared straight at them.

"If you want to fight me, you must first break free from this Domain. And this is merely my weakest technique."

"So... you are too weak."

"Or perhaps, did I overestimate you and the Upper Three Realms?"

Although Su Chen was generally quite overbearing in his actions, he was essentially a cautious person. Therefore, before he possessed sufficient strength, he would always choose to keep a low profile.

Just like when facing the Upper Three Realms, Su Chen did not lower his guard, instead viewing them as an enemy he might not be able to defeat.

But now, it seemed he had been overly worried.

In his eyes, an Innate Ancient God was no different from an ant. As for the Dao Lord Realm above the Innate Ancient God, it was likely no better.

This Domain of Su Chen's only exerted one-thousandth of the power of the Great Dao of Time, yet even so, the two Innate Ancient Gods had no ability to resist in the slightest.

Seeing this scene, everyone from the Divine Court Remnants had an expression of excitement on their faces.

Lord Divine Lord is so strong!

Su Chen beckoned with his hand, and the people of the Human Dao appeared directly before him. He waved his hand slightly, and the fluctuations of the Great Dao of Time vanished.

Their thoughts returned to normal.

At this moment, the two Heavenly Venerates finally reacted, both looking at Su Chen in terror.

How is this possible!

Wasn't he only an Acquired Ancient God?

Why does he have such strength? Could Elder Fu be lying to us?

At this moment, they finally panicked!

However, Su Chen ignored their emotions and simply asked indifferently, "Do you two want to die quickly and painlessly, or die in agonizing torture?"

Seeing that the two wanted to speak, Su Chen interrupted directly, "I don't want to hear any begging."

"How about this, I'll change my approach."

"Tell me everything you know about me. If you say it, I can let you die quickly."

Su Chen could not say he hated these two. After all, he had never met them before; it was his future self who had been associated with them. But not hating them did not mean they did not need to be killed. These two still had to die.

Seeing Su Chen's cold expression, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate finally despaired.

"Hehehe, the Upper Three Realms, the Upper Three Realms... so we were just pawns after all? Hahahaha."

Su Chen's strength was terrifying to this extent, yet Elder Fu actually said he was only an Acquired Ancient God. Does this look anything like an Acquired Ancient God?

Several Acquired Ancient Gods from their Human Dao, plus the two of them as Innate Ancient Gods, yet they were captured without any resistance. This... this is definitely at the Dao Lord level, right?

Both of them regretted immensely why they had betrayed the Divine Court back then.

Su Chen said impatiently, "Alright, enough nonsense."

Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate glanced at Su Chen's expression and finally lost heart. Daode Heavenly Venerate, who was beside him, was the same; his face was filled with despair. They both knew they could not escape this calamity today; it was almost a certain death situation.

Su Chen's strength was too great, leaving them without even the ability to resist. They had been extremely uneasy before coming, but because Elder Fu had said Su Chen's strength was definitely at most that of an Acquired Ancient God, they trusted the Upper Three Realms more, believing they had no reason to harm them.

Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate smiled miserably, "Lord Divine Lord, I can tell you, but I have only one request: you must promise us to destroy the Upper Three Realms."

He vented all his hatred onto the Upper Three Realms. In fact, strictly speaking, Su Chen had treated them quite well, and their betrayal of the Divine Court back then was instigated by the Upper Three Realms. If not for them, they would not be dying now.

It was the feeling of being completely used by the Upper Three Realms, tricked into selling themselves out, and then helping them count the money.

Su Chen replied coldly, "Nonsense."

Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate fell into silence. He did not rush to answer Su Chen, his entire being immersed in regret.

Back when he was in the Divine Court, he knew Su Chen was terrifying, but because his Realm at that time was not strong enough, he could not see through what Su Chen's 'Dao' really was.

But now, after cultivating for so long, he had a vague concept of the Dao that Su Chen cultivated. However, he had not told the Upper Three Realms about this.

Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate had his own little schemes in mind. Since Su Chen's strength would be greatly weakened, was it possible for him to seize the Dao from Su Chen?

Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate hardened his heart. Since you all want to plot against me, then I will make you feel what despair is. Once he controlled that supreme Dao, no one would be his match.

Taking a deep breath, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate looked at Su Chen with a calm expression, "Lord Divine Lord, you have two identities."

"The first identity..."

He suddenly paused to build suspense, asking in return, "Has the Lord Divine Lord ever heard of the Source of Darkness?"

The Source of Darkness?

Su Chen frowned slightly. Of course he knew this; the Source of Darkness was practically the culprit behind the end of the Primordial Era.

Some said the Source of Darkness was a terrifying powerhouse outside the Immortal Realm, while others said it represented another 'world'. There were many such theories anyway.

But one thing was universally acknowledged: the Source of Darkness was an enemy of the Immortal Realm and an existence that constantly threatened the Immortal Realm.

A flash of confusion crossed Su Chen's eyes. What did his previous incarnation have to do with the Source of Darkness?

Seeing that Su Chen did not answer, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate did not mind. Perhaps because he knew he was going to die, he had become calm, showing no signs of being afraid of Su Chen at all.

"Lord Divine Lord, you are the Master of the Source of Darkness."

"Back then, it was you who single-handedly destroyed the Primordial Era, slaughtered countless Immortal Realm powerhouses, and erased countless Innate Gods and Demons."

Upon hearing these words, Tongtian and the various powerhouses of the Divine Court all changed color. How is that possible!

Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate continued on his own, "However, I don't know the details of this matter very well, just the general idea. You will need to find out the specifics yourself, Lord Divine Lord."

"Besides that, you have a second identity."

"The Master of the Immortal Realm."

Su Chen's eyes narrowed sharply. The Master of the Immortal Realm? No wonder he felt so close to the Dao of the Immortal Realm. But to be both the Master of the Immortal Realm and the Master of the Source of Darkness, wasn't that extremely contradictory? I destroyed myself? Isn't that bullshit?

After Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate finished speaking, he fell into silence.

After this continued for a good while, he slightly raised his head and looked towards Tongtian, his tone carrying a trace of self-reproach, "Heizi, I'm sorry."
