Chương 258: Transcendence (Part 14)

The Myriad Laws Emperor Sect was shaken once again. Their Emperor Son had brought back yet another living being. This one appeared to be only eight or nine years old, yet she already possessed peak Saint realm cultivation. The ancestors of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect drew in sharp breaths. One Emperor and two Immortal Spirits had not been the limit. Now it was one Emperor and three Immortal Spirits? Unprecedented in history! Was the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect truly destined by heaven in this era?

Su Chen noticed that the entire sect had become increasingly lively lately. The ancestral hall was packed with people every day, and the incense never stopped burning. Su Chen continued guiding both Chi Yao and Di Chan in their cultivation.

"Master, why can she call you Big Brother? I want to call you Big Brother too," Di Chan said, looking up at Su Chen with her large, watery eyes full of expectation. Su Chen firmly refused. Little Di Chan instantly looked crestfallen, her mood sinking. Chi Yao, on the other hand, looked smug. She flew forward and hung onto Su Chen's front, making a face at Di Chan, which only made the latter even more dejected. Su Chen could not help but chuckle.

Di Chan was born from a wisp of Zhou Hanchan's divine sense fused with the Embryo of Darkness, yet she was also a completely new life form with extraordinary talent. In Su Chen's possession was a demonic pattern—the final quarter fragment of the Death Book. He had finally gathered the complete last piece. This was good news. The bad news was that the Undying Nether Emperor of his previous life had failed to achieve transcendence and had fallen.

Even now, Su Chen still did not know where or how he had died in that life. With the Undying Nether Emperor's cultivation, turning into a forbidden zone should have been simple, yet no trace of him existed in the world. Although Su Chen now held the final quarter of the Death Book, the other three-quarters that the Undying Nether Emperor had obtained in his previous life had vanished without a trace. Su Chen was not worried. He still had his trump card.

Ning Changqing, that supreme treasure-hunting rat, would surely bring him more pleasant surprises. After all, surprises were mutual.... Ning Changqing was both depressed and heartbroken. Ever since his first defeat against Su Chen, he had found the man haunting him like a nightmare. He had found the Jade Pool Immortal Spirit, only for her to run off with Su Chen. He had entered the forbidden zone of supreme terror within the Chaos Sea, only for the Embryo of Darkness to be claimed by someone else.

At least he had still obtained a fragment of the Death Book. Though only a fragment, it was still an unparalleled opportunity. Yet Su Chen had appeared again. Ning Changqing had no choice but to retreat. Both the Embryo of Darkness and the Death Book fragment had become wedding clothes for another. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. His heart bled with resentment. Still, as the reincarnation of the Heavenly Venerate, his mentality was transcendent.

He quickly regained his confidence and resumed his journey of slaying enemies, leveling up, and hunting opportunities. Ning Changqing broke the restriction of an ancient land. A beam of divine light immediately shot out and fled.

"An Undying Divine Medicine!" Ning Changqing was first startled, then overjoyed. An Undying Divine Medicine was a divine item capable of granting a Great Emperor another lifetime. He immediately moved to suppress it, but the medicine was too fast. It vanished in a flash. Ning Changqing looked in the direction it had fled with unwillingness in his eyes. The Undying Divine Medicine was flying straight toward the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect.

"Di Chen! I am irreconcilable with you!" Ning Changqing roared in fury. The Undying Divine Medicine he had worked so hard to unearth was about to abandon him as well. The heavy blow made it impossible for him to suppress the rage in his heart any longer. Su Chen was guiding Di Chan and Chi Yao in their cultivation. The presence of these two little girls had brought much liveliness to the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect. Suddenly, Su Chen sensed something.

"Someone is cursing me?" he thought. The stronger one became, the sharper their sense to such things. Su Chen believed it firmly. Someone was definitely cursing him. Very few people had the qualifications to make him sense it.

"Qin Wujie?" Su Chen shook his head. Why would Qin Wujie curse him for no reason? He was a good person. If not Qin Wujie, then it could only be Ning Changqing, that treasure-hunting rat. Su Chen suddenly raised his head and looked toward a distant star domain.

"That is… the aura of an Undying Divine Medicine?" The Undying Divine Medicine crossed countless star domains. No experts could stop it.

"Is it coming for me?" Su Chen's expression turned strange. He sensed the medicine directing its aura toward him, as if it wanted to recognize him as its master. He reached out across the starry sky. The Undying Divine Medicine, which had evaded several Emperor weapons, obediently landed in his palm.

"That's… the Immortal Spirit of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect! The Undying Divine Medicine is actually heading for him!"

"The Undying Divine Medicine wants to recognize him as master. Once that Immortal Spirit becomes an Emperor, he will at least be able to live a second life!"

"What immense fortune! It actually drew an Undying Divine Medicine to him. Throughout history, how many Great Emperors managed to obtain one and live another life? Yet Di Chen hasn't even become an Emperor, and it has already come to him!"

"..." Countless experts and forces were in an uproar. Some factions that had tried to intercept the medicine with Emperor weapons saw Su Chen take action and, no matter how unwilling, did not dare to snatch it. Sitting at home, yet a divine medicine came from the heavens. Su Chen sighed inwardly. Ning Changqing really was a good person. In the Eternal Dawn Emperor Court, the Eternal Dawn Great Emperor slowly withdrew his outstretched hand.

"Great Emperor, that is an Undying Divine Medicine! It could grant you another lifetime!"

"We are willing to fight to the death to seize it for you!" The war generals of the Eternal Dawn Emperor Court all volunteered. They wanted to risk everything to win their Emperor another life and a chance at transcendence. The Eternal Dawn Great Emperor shook his head, his expression complex and desolate.

"There is no need… The Undying Divine Medicine was never meant for me. In this era, I am not qualified to use such a supreme treasure. Even if it were mine, it would only be a waste." He no longer looked like a supreme Great Emperor. The usual dominance and unrivaled confidence were gone. Seeing their once-mighty Emperor like this, the war generals who had followed him for years felt their noses sting and their eyes redden.

"Great Emperor… Truly born in the wrong era…" The Eternal Dawn Great Emperor sighed upon hearing their words. He had risen in chaos, flourished in prosperity, yet the final era did not belong to him. Even as a Great Emperor who had reached the end of the martial path, in this age, he was merely a supporting character.

"What a tragic era…" the Eternal Dawn Great Emperor thought. Perhaps Eternal Night's death in the Chaos Sea had been a mercy. If he were still alive, he might have ended up the same way.... Who was Ning Changqing? He was the number one Heavenly Venerate of the Mythical Era. Although losing the Undying Divine Medicine to his greatest enemy stung, he quickly recovered. He would defeat the Immortal Spirit of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect.

After continuously fighting, leveling up, and hunting opportunities, Ning Changqing discovered a mysterious land. This time, he was smarter. He set up multiple layers of seals to lock down his aura.

"This is… The Undying Nether Emperor?"
