Chương 195: Emperor's Fate (Part 11)

In his previous life, Su Chen had also heard of this terrifying curse. No one who was afflicted by it could live past a hundred years. Without exception, they would suffer unbearable pain until they died. As far as he knew, only a handful of orthodoxies in the entire starry skies possessed this curse. With just a single thought, Su Chen felt a horrifying blow strike the depths of his soul. His originally vibrant soul began to decay rapidly. His black hair turned white as he aged at a frightening speed.

Ye Liuli summoned over a hundred talismans that followed the aura across infinite space, dyeing the starry skies with blood, yet she still failed to catch the person behind the scenes. Chi Yao, Ye Da, Yuan Ming, and Ji Changkong tried to approach Su Chen, but they were all blasted away. Ye Liuli appeared beside him. Blood stained her green immortal dress from the brief clash earlier, and she had sustained injuries as well.

She took out a large bottle of the Water of Time and poured it forcefully into Su Chen's mouth while pouring countless divine pills and miraculous medicines into him as well. Su Chen stopped her and coughed once.

"Sister Liuli, it's useless. The Soul Extinguishing Curse is too terrifying. It has already taken root in my divine soul. Even the Water of Time and legendary divine medicines cannot remove it." Ye Liuli was filled with self-blame. Tears streamed down her face.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been careless, I wouldn't have given the person behind this any opportunity!" Su Chen shook his head.

"Even without this incident, the person behind it would still have plotted against me. Fortunately, it happened this time while you were here, Sister Liuli. Otherwise, that person would not have used a curse. They would have attacked me directly even at the risk of heavy injury." Ye Liuli said, "How can it be fine? That is the legendary Soul Extinguishing Curse… Don't comfort me.

If you die, I will take the Ye Clan's Emperor Weapon and make every force that possesses the Soul Extinguishing Curse accompany you in death." Su Chen smiled bitterly, unable to tell for a moment whether Ye Liuli was expressing concern for him or cursing him. He still did not want to die. The Soul Extinguishing Curse might be unsolvable for others, but who was he?

In his previous life, he had nearly reached the peak of the Soul Dao with his divine soul alone and had nearly proven the Dao to become a Great Emperor through the Soul Dao. Although the Soul Extinguishing Curse was terrifying, it was still not enough to kill him so easily! The person behind the scenes could have crushed him with a single finger, but they should never have tried to kill him with the Soul Extinguishing Curse! Su Chen closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.

The deathly aura in the depths of his divine soul was scattered by countless runes. A mysterious power in his mind began to clash with the power of the Soul Extinguishing Curse. Under everyone's visible gaze, Su Chen's aged face rapidly changed and became young once more. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Expressions of pleasant surprise gradually appeared on everyone's faces. Ye Liuli's expression shifted rapidly.

She could sense that Su Chen's injuries were improving. It was almost a miracle. Ye Liuli asked joyfully, "Little Chen, did you actually dispel the Soul Extinguishing Curse?" Su Chen shook his head.

"The Soul Extinguishing Curse is an unparalleled forbidden curse. Dispelling it is no easy task. I have only used a method to suppress its spread. Normally, a Nirvana realm cultivator afflicted by the Soul Extinguishing Curse would die within ten years. I have extended that deadline to one hundred years. If I become a Saint within a hundred years, the deadline will be extended again.

As long as I can break through to Quasi-Emperor within three thousand years, I will naturally be able to resolve the Soul Extinguishing Curse completely." This was Su Chen's method to counter the Soul Extinguishing Curse. As long as he broke through fast enough, the curse would never be able to kill him. Once he reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, a mere Soul Extinguishing Curse would become nothing more than nourishment. He might even use the opportunity to track down the mastermind behind the attack.

The method sounded simple, yet it left everyone dumbfounded. Becoming a Saint within a hundred years and breaking through to Quasi-Emperor within three thousand years—for anyone else, this was no different from a death sentence, merely delayed by a century. Ye Liuli knew Su Chen's terrifying talent. Becoming a Saint in a hundred years and reaching Quasi-Emperor within three thousand years was an impossible task for others, but for this monster, it was not out of reach.

The fact that he could suppress the Soul Extinguishing Curse already proved he was a miracle. Ye Liuli looked at Su Chen, who had never panicked even when facing an assassination attempt by a great expert, and sighed emotionally, "Year after year, Little Chen has truly changed a lot." Seven years had passed since he left the Ye Clan. The youth had grown into a young man with the bearing to suppress all under the heavens and the demeanor of a young Great Emperor. Suddenly, Su Chen's originally fair face flushed red.

He violently spat out a mouthful of blood, causing Ye Liuli's expression to change once more. She hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Facing her concern and confusion, Su Chen smiled bitterly.

"Earlier, Sister Liuli fed me too many great tonics. I cannot fully refine them in such a short time… Perhaps I won't be killed by the Soul Extinguishing Curse, but I might end up being supplemented to death by Sister Liuli's divine pills and miraculous medicines." Upon hearing this, Ye Liuli's jade-like face flushed slightly. In her panic and concern, she had fed Su Chen many of her treasured divine items. This was a heaven-defying fortune, but Su Chen's current realm was still too low.

If not for the fact that he possessed the Flying Immortal Dao Body in this life and had cultivated numerous supreme Emperor Scriptures, he might have become the first genius in history to be literally supplemented to death by divine medicines. Su Chen closed his eyes and began to focus on refining the medicinal power.... In the starry skies, the name of Ye Chen spread across the myriad races.

He had obtained the inheritance of Jade Pool, subdued a Holy Spirit, and even caused an unparalleled prodigy from the Divine Source Master lineage to willingly follow him. Everything proved that this Ye Clan Emperor Son possessed the true bearing of a Great Emperor! What people lamented, however, was that on his way back to the Ye Clan, the Ye Clan's Emperor Son had suffered an assassination attempt. A terrifying great battle had erupted.

A mysterious expert from the Ye Clan had nearly slain the Dragon Emperor of the Myriad Dragons Grotto. Yet there had been another mastermind in the shadows who had cursed the Ye Clan's Emperor Son with the Soul Extinguishing Curse. Within a hundred years, the Ye Clan's Emperor Son would fall. No one believed that anyone could escape the Soul Extinguishing Curse. Not even the Ye Clan's Emperor Son, who possessed the bearing of a Great Emperor! Heaven envies the talented!
