“Su Chen!” the Heaven Devouring Beast roared in terror, “Even if you kill me, you won’t have an easy time!”

“Oh?” Su Chen raised his eyebrows and replied, “Is that so? Then you can try!”

Hearing Su Chen’s words, the Heaven Devouring Beast’s expression turned extremely ugly, filled with unwillingness and anger. He had arrogantly claimed their quasi-emperor was on the way, only to be targeted by Su Chen, who seemed determined to kill him.

If heaven could give him another chance, he would definitely not speak so rashly, at least not in Su Chen’s presence. If he had quietly waited for their quasi-emperor to arrive instead of making threats, this incident would not have happened. Unfortunately, he had no second chance.

The Heaven Devouring Beast roared in rage, “Our quasi-emperor will get here in fifteen minutes!”

His roar shook the heavens and earth, shattering the surrounding void and releasing chaotic mist. Behind him, thirty thousand runes of the Heavenly Dao appeared, one demonic phantom after another, stationed in the void, arranged side by side like a series of pitch-black divine peaks. Together, they launched an attack on Su Chen. This scene could be described as boundlessly terrifying. Such a horrifying phenomenon was difficult to imagine, and it was hard to fathom the tremendous power it could unleash.

However, before the Heaven Devouring Beast finished roaring, he fell silent. Su Chen seemed to transform into an invincible war god, chaotic Qi emanating from his body as he slowly approached. Though walking slowly, each step he took spanned a great distance.

The Azure Dragon Sword in Su Chen’s hand slashed out diagonally with each strike splitting heaven and earth, forcing the wounded Heaven Devouring Beast back. The demonic phantoms behind the beast lasted less than a blink before turning into green smoke, disappearing between heaven and earth.

“Today, not to mention your quasi-emperor, even if a great emperor himself came, even if a true immortal came, no one could stop me from killing you!” said Su Chen, his entire body emitting a dazzling, unparalleled divine light as if the supreme Heavenly Emperor had descended, overlooking all living beings.

With a loud boom, Su Chen sent the Heaven Devouring Beast flying with a single blow. The beast coughed up blood, its massive body nearly shattered, covered in shocking wounds that exposed white bones. Seeing this, the others who had wanted to help took a silent step back. Their original intention was to keep Su Chen behind. However, judging by the current situation, their objective had already been achieved.

As long as Su Chen stayed with the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master and the quasi-emperor’s coffin, all was well. The old monsters of the myriad races present were crafty and scheming; to them, Su Chen and his opportunities were most important. Moreover, sacrificing the Heaven Devouring Beast, a mere Saint King Realm expert, was acceptable if it meant restraining Su Chen without effort.

The Heaven Devouring Beast should not fall to Su Chen so quickly. He just had to endure until his quasi-emperor arrived to save him and kill Su Chen.

However, after just a dozen rounds, Su Chen’s peerless sword swept out, shattering the void with sharp sword intent permeating the world. The dazzling sword aura was like the blazing sun. Seeing this, the Heaven Devouring Beast tried to block with claws, but they cracked under the immense power, followed by his arms and then his entire body being blown apart, blood staining the sky red.

Howling in pain and unwillingness, his divine soul retreated from his body, swiftly repairing his own physical form. In his gaze directed at Su Chen, it was unclear when, but a deep sense of dread had already appeared. This battle had left a huge shadow that could hinder his future cultivation path if Su Chen was not killed.

At this thought, the Heaven Devouring Beast considered capturing Mu Qingxue and Ye Ruxue in the Chaotic Sea Star Region to threaten Su Chen but dismissed the idea. Su Chen was highly likely to have become the World-Transcending Sword Master at this point. At this moment, anyone daring to enter the Chaotic Sea Star Region and cause trouble for Mu Qingxue and Ye Ruxue might ultimately be walking the path of self-destruction.

While the Chaotic Sea Star Region was only slightly dangerous without a master, with one it would transform into an exceptionally perilous forbidden zone. Not even a great emperor could safely enter then, due to the terrifying immortal formation inside, which even true immortals might not traverse smoothly, let alone a Saint King Realm cultivator. There was a qualitative difference between the Great Emperor Realm and the True Immortal Realm.

Achieving the Great Emperor Realm was considered an exceedingly rare accomplishment, but aspiring to reach the True Immortal Realm required more than just innate talent.

It could be said that among a hundred great emperors, it was highly unlikely to find even one who became a true immortal. Throughout the annals of history, many great emperors entered the Immortal Realm in pursuit of the opportunity to become an immortal.

“Interesting, I didn’t expect you to also refine the Black Blood Stones!” said Su Chen, his eyes narrowing coldly. “It seems the Southern Region has quite the scheme! I’m now somewhat interested in this so-called Ancient Pact of yours. But I’m even more interested in where you obtained these Black Blood Stones!” As far as Su Chen knew, the Southern Region contained no dark creatures that fought openly like in the East Barrens. One had to know that in the East Barrens, the dark creatures and the human race were almost at each other’s throats. However, in the Southern Region, things remained calm and peaceful throughout. Whether in this era or ancient times, the Southern Region had always been tranquil..
