Chương 269: Transcendence (Part 25)

Su Chen's universe. Ever since Su Chen disappeared, he had never appeared again. This time, a million years had passed. Even after Di Chan and Chi Yao searched the entire universe, they could not find the slightest trace of Su Chen. Yet the two of them never gave up. The universe continued to flourish with powerhouses. As eras changed, new Great Emperors rose, while some chose to sever themselves and become forbidden zone existences once more.

Over the course of a million years, both Di Chan and Chi Yao had become the greatest terrors of the world. With their peerless talent, they created undying methods and lived through one life after another. Their strength had already approached the threshold of Two-Tribulation Rulers. Even so, they could not leave this realm. The entire universe had been sealed by Su Chen. They were unable to break his seal.

"Master, Chan'er believes you are still alive!" Di Chan had failed yet another attempt at transcendence. She stared into the seemingly nonexistent boundless space. She still firmly believed Su Chen was alive. The ruler of the Emperor Court could not possibly have died. Chi Yao had also failed once again.

"It's almost time… Once the Longevity Method reaches the next stage and feeds on the wisdom of all living beings, I will definitely advance further. Big Brother… Chi Yao will definitely find you." Chi Yao swore in her heart. But at that very moment, both Di Chan and Chi Yao suddenly turned their gazes in the same direction. It was toward the Emperor Court where Emperor Venerable had once resided. Even after a million years, it remained the strongest force in the universe, its foundation unfathomably deep.

From there, an incomparably terrifying aura erupted, sweeping across the cosmos.

"I, Qin Wujie, have finally returned!" After a million years, Qin Wujie had fully recovered from his injuries. With the help of the Undying Divine Medicine and his comprehension of the Chaos Body's origin, his cultivation had advanced once more. He had become the first to break through to the Two-Tribulation Ruler realm.

"Strange… Why can't I sense Di Chen's aura anywhere?" Qin Wujie had searched the entire universe but found no trace of Su Chen. He now felt stronger than ever before and was certain he could defeat him. In the end, he encountered Di Chan and Chi Yao. From the two women, he learned that Su Chen had never appeared again.

"That guy must have transcended! But something must have happened that prevents him from returning. It looks like I will have to step in!" Qin Wujie had once followed Su Chen into another world. He knew many secrets and firmly believed Su Chen was not dead. He attempted transcendence. After a great battle, he finally broke through Su Chen's seal.

"Transcending doesn't seem that difficult," Qin Wujie thought to himself. He felt it had been quite easy. It must be because he was simply too powerful. Qin Wujie knew nothing of the rules of the Void Cosmic Sea. Once a world had a transcendent, the beings of that world could leave their original universe and walk the Void Cosmic Sea. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

However, no matter how they cultivated, the beings of that world could never surpass the one who held the Heart of the Universe. Unless… they too obtained the Heart of the Universe. After transcending, Qin Wujie found himself in a vast expanse of nothingness. He began searching for traces of Su Chen and any signs of life. He did not know how much time had passed—perhaps ten thousand years, perhaps more. Finally, he discovered the remnants of a great battle.

"Di Chen! It must be that guy Di Chen!" Qin Wujie's eyes lit up with joy. He made up his mind: he had to rescue his good brother from danger. Su Chen and Wang Potian clashed in an earth-shattering battle. This was an opponent of terrifying caliber. For a million years, Su Chen and Wang Potian had fought to a stalemate, each sustaining injuries while trading victories and defeats.

"A mere Domainator who has only just stepped into the Four Tribulations realm can actually fight me to this extent and even injure me?" Wang Potian's voice rang with surprise.

"The Emperor Tribulation you endured was far more than seven layers." Su Chen remained silent. The outcome between them was still uncertain.

"Di Chen, so this is where you've been hiding!" After countless years, a third voice echoed across the void.

"So this is the backup you've been waiting for? The strongest physique born from a universe's destiny?" Wang Potian sneered with disdain.

"The Transmigrator Alliance handles its affairs. No matter who you are, you will submit!" Qin Wujie had finally found Su Chen, and joy surged within him after wandering alone for so long that time itself had blurred.

"What bold words!" Qin Wujie glanced over and realized someone was attempting to assassinate Su Chen. He replied coldly, "I, Qin Wujie, don't give a damn about your so-called Transmigrator Alliance. Di Chen can only be defeated by me personally!" Qin Wujie attacked at once, intending to slay Wang Potian and prove his current strength. Su Chen was stunned. He had not expected Qin Wujie to be the one who arrived, nor that he would possess such courage.

Although Qin Wujie had reached the Two Tribulations Domainator realm, Wang Potian was a Five Tribulations Domainator. With the first move, Qin Wujie realized the powerhouse who had stalled Su Chen for so long truly possessed formidable power. With the second move, before he could even change expression, Qin Wujie was smashed apart. His Chaos Body was destroyed, leaving only a wisp of his primordial spirit. As the third move loomed, Qin Wujie cried out desperately, "Di Chen, save me!"

This time, he was truly on the verge of death—far more terrifying than being refined by the Heaven Refining Gourd. In just a few moments, Su Chen had recovered some of his strength. He intervened, blocking Wang Potian's killing strike. With a grasp of his hand, he seized Qin Wujie's remnant primordial spirit, preventing his immediate demise. The two sides erupted into battle once more. Years passed in the blink of an eye.

Wang Potian's expression suddenly changed as a new aura emerged, walking through the nothingness.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on refining the Heart of the Universe." A figure appeared—a man in blue-and-white robes, radiating immortal grace. He wore a crane crown atop his head and looked harmless and ethereal, like an exiled immortal, save for his pure white pupils. Su Chen recognized him at once. The man had called him "Junior Brother." With a single glance, he knew the newcomer's origin: the End Times Immortal Domain.

He too hailed from the End Times Immortal Domain, where countless heavenly prodigies had invested in this Flying Immortal Land. Su Chen was merely one of them, and many other powerhouses existed alongside him. Ten Absolute Martial Emperor had the backing of the Transmigrator Alliance, but Su Chen's ten-thousand-point background was no mere decoration either.

"You are an Immortal Spirit of the End Times Immortal Domain!" Wang Potian's eyes filled with dread.

"Even your End Times Immortal Domain dares interfere in the Transmigrator Alliance's affairs? This fellow killed one of our brothers. This matter will not end until one side is destroyed! If you save him, you declare war on the entire Transmigrator Alliance. Do you understand the consequences?" The immortal youth strode through the void like a blazing sun, scorching and dazzling. He was undoubtedly a Domainator above the Ten Tribulations realm.

The Immortal Spirit narrowed his eyes, his white pupils fixed on Wang Potian. Wang Potian shuddered as if struck by a heavy blow.

"The Transmigrator Alliance is indeed powerful. Outside the Flying Immortal Land, our End Times Immortal Domain would yield to you. However… this is the Flying Immortal Land. No matter how strong your alliance is, you cannot send Immortal Realm experts to meddle in the Void Cosmic Sea of this domain. Therefore… you are not qualified to threaten me here. Only Xuanyuan Wudi would suffice." Wang Potian's body shattered instantly, disintegrating within the void until he became a formless mass.

The terrifying Immortal Spirit reached out and seized it in one hand.

"This Universe Heart shall serve as the Senior Brother's apology for being delayed by personal matters. I hope Junior Brother will not hold it against me."
