Chương 272: Transcendence (Part 28)

Qin Wujie left. He decided to venture out into the world in search of new opportunities. Su Chen did not stop him. He too needed to step beyond this universe if he wished to grow stronger. To become more powerful, one had to learn how to plunder. Su Chen forged a clone using the Wheel of Time and left it behind to guard the universe. He did not want to return one day like Ten Absolute Martial Emperor, only to find his home destroyed.

If any true geniuses emerged in the future, the clone could also guide them beyond the universe. Su Chen's strength was not only tied to refining universes but also closely linked to the power of the living beings within them. This concerned the future of his own path. With that, Su Chen departed the universe to explore farther regions.... Ever since they had transcended, Di Chan and Chi Yao had discovered a foreign universe. Relying on their powerful strength, they broke into it.

There, they encountered a powerhouse who claimed to belong to the Main God Hall. The man spoke at length, but the two women barely understood his ramblings. Still, they learned the secret of the Universe Heart from him. Di Chan slapped the self-proclaimed Main God Hall expert to death. Although they could not refine the Universe Heart themselves, such a minor issue was nothing in her eyes.

"The power of the Universe Heart comes from the countless living beings within the universe," Di Chan said to Chi Yao.

"I will kill them all and turn them into nourishment. Once that is done, you can refine the remaining Universe Heart." For the sake of finding her master, she was willing to pay any price—even if it meant falling into demonhood. Chi Yao found the method cruel, yet as an Immortal Spirit, she was born with indifference toward all things. The only person she truly cared about was her brother—Su Chen. In the end, she agreed to Di Chan's plan. Their strength advanced by leaps and bounds.

However, their actions also invited new crises. The Main God Hall, one of the greatest forces in the myriad immortal domains, had countless teams. Under the Hall's arrangements, these teams reincarnated into the Flying Immortal Land. When Di Chan and Chi Yao killed one of their members, the Main God Hall issued a mission to eliminate them regardless of who they were. After refining the universe, the two women continued their search for Su Chen.

This time, however, they encountered a powerful enemy from the Main God Hall.... Su Chen walked through the void. In the mysterious space, powerful experts frequently gathered allies to attack other universes and plunder their resources. Su Chen envied them, but the distances involved were far too great for someone at his current Five Tribulations Ruler realm. The number of universes within the Flying Immortal Land was as countless as grains of sand in a desert.

Yet after searching for so long, Su Chen had not found even one, nor had he encountered a single transcended expert. He began to wonder if his luck was simply too poor. Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. Finally, through persistent effort, Su Chen sensed the aura of living beings. A great battle seemed to be erupting there, along with two familiar presences. Di Chan and Chi Yao.

Di Chan and Chi Yao found themselves surrounded and attacked by powerhouses from the Main God Hall.

"Two Immortal Spirits? What a surprise. Immortal Spirits are valuable treasures. If we kill them and bring the corpses back, we can exchange them for a hefty amount of points. You people are too wasteful. How can you bear to kill such rare Immortal Spirits directly?"

The Main God Hall was one of the most terrifying forces in the myriad immortal domains not because of overwhelming individual strength—its Rulers were not particularly powerful compared to those of the Transmigrator Alliance or the various Immortal Domain-level factions—but because of how difficult they were to deal with. While the Transmigrator Alliance was fearsome, its members were extremely few in number. In contrast, the Main God Hall could produce endless powerhouses like mass-produced goods.

As long as the Main God Space willed it, it could create countless experts. These powerhouses drew their strength from the Main God Space and only needed to complete missions in return. The team sent to surround and kill Di Chan and Chi Yao was an elite squad from the Main God Hall. All five members were Three Tribulations Rulers. Even though Di Chan and Chi Yao had reached the peak of the Two Tribulations Ruler realm, they gradually began to falter under the coordinated assault.

But at that moment, both women sensed a familiar aura.

"That's…" Their faces lit up with surprise. The five Main God Hall members also noticed Su Chen's arrival. His aura was completely unrestrained, shining like a candle flame in the darkness.

"Who are you?" a chubby white Main God Hall expert threatened.

"This is the Main God Hall business. If you interfere, you should know the consequences."

"Main God Hall?" A faint smile curved Su Chen's lips. This was not his first time killing members of the Main God Hall. In this life, he had even dared to kill people from the Transmigrator Alliance. Why would he fear the Main God Hall? Su Chen simply reached out with one hand and pinched the chubby expert into the air. With a slight squeeze, the man died without even uttering a scream. A Universe Heart condensed in Su Chen's palm.

The remaining four members felt a chill run through their bodies, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. A Three Tribulations Ruler had been effortlessly crushed to death.

"Damn it… This person is far beyond the level of this mission! He completely surpasses the difficulty of this task. We must escape… we have to run…" The four had no intention of avenging their dead comrade. They knew this was not an opponent they could face. Having finally encountered other transcended beings, Su Chen had no intention of letting them escape. He attacked directly. In an instant, three more Main God Hall members fell by his hand.

The last survivor, a being with one black and one white wing and upright golden hair, sensed a terrifying threat. He immediately activated his final trump card. A blue light screen appeared, and when Su Chen reached out to stop it, the terrifying force rebounded and forced his hand back. He watched the golden-haired seraphim escape.

"Main God Hall…" That power had completely exceeded his understanding. If he had tried to forcibly break the blue barrier earlier, only death would have awaited him. Still, the harvest was substantial. He had obtained four Three Tribulations Universe Hearts. Di Chan and Chi Yao confirmed that the newcomer was indeed the person they had been searching for all this time.

"Master!"

"Brother!" After millions of years apart, the longing in their hearts surged forth. A warm smile appeared on Su Chen's face. He finally understood where the power that helped him break through to the Five Tribulations Ruler realm had come from—it was feedback from Di Chan and Chi Yao. Before the three could catch up, Su Chen suddenly received a message from the mysterious space of the End Times Immortal Domain.

"Something major is happening? The Ruler Battlefield is about to open?"
