Chapter 354 - 310: [Innate Chaos Body!]
Hm?
At his words, everyone frowned and looked back.
This was a hunting ground for monstrous All Heavens Daoists to compete. Who would dare to interfere? And this person even had a grudge with Su Chen!
More importantly...
...they hadn’t even noticed someone was hiding and following them!
WHOOSH~
Under everyone’s watchful eyes.
A patch of the starry sky outside the Ancestral Hall distorted like water, connecting to the brilliant cosmos far away.
THUD, THUD, THUD—
The unhurried, heavy sound of footsteps vibrated through the Star Sea. Then, a towering figure in black robes, with a physique that could hold up the heavens, stepped out.
’A Dharma Aspect?’
The moment they saw Wu Dao.
The Little Thunder King and the other Daoist Children were all stunned.
They observed him carefully.
He was indeed below the Grotto Heaven realm!
His aura wasn’t connected to even a wisp of Heaven and Earth Creation Qi.
’Where did this fool come from?’
The weakest person here was at the Emperor Grade Cave Heaven of the Twenty-four Heavens. Was a mere Dharma Aspect tired of living, coming here to join the fray?
Joining the fray was one thing.
But to have a grudge with Su Chen, the strongest person present? He must have been blinded by hatred.
"Brother Mo..."
Beneath the Infinite Golden Stele hanging high above the peak of the Ancestral Hall, Su Chen looked down upon the crowd like a Chaos God-Demon. His gaze was also fixed on the approaching Wu Dao.
He was a complete stranger compared to the figure from his childhood.
The approachable, innocent, and kind-hearted boy...
...had transformed into this domineering and intimidating figure who could stand tall in the world and suppress the eight wildernesses.
If not for the connection of their karmic auras...
...he would never have associated them with the same person.
WHOOSH~
The complex emotions in his eyes were snuffed out.
Su Chen looked down at Wu Dao, who wore a kind smile, and sighed.
"You are a fool. Though you’ve had some Creation that reshaped your Great Dao, you don’t understand that when you are outmatched, you should know when to retreat."
"Idiot!"
The Little Thunder King and the others also shook their heads, casting a pitiful glance at Wu Dao.
A monster like Su Chen...
...was unparalleled even among those at the same realm, let alone someone with a mere Dharma Cultivation.
Trying to fight against the odds as a Dharma Aspect?
It was a complete fool’s dream!
CRACK, CRACK~
Wu Dao retracted his gaze from the depths of the Ancestral Hall.
As if he had just noticed Su Chen, he wordlessly rolled his neck, producing a sound like Divine Iron clanging together. Like a Fierce Beast about to hunt, a savage and violent aura gradually awakened within him.
"A single step of difference in the Dao can be a fatal one. You must understand this principle!"
Su Chen paid no mind to Wu Dao’s awakening aura, shaking his head with pity.
"Fine. The torment of your hatred these past years must have been a living hell. Give me your best shot. I will take one punch from you, and we can consider it..."
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG—
Before his voice had even faded!
The Heart Lake Alarm Bell in Su Chen’s mind began to ring wildly!
Like prey targeted by an Ancient Fierce Beast, an aura of extreme danger enveloped him without warning!
CLANG—
Below Su Chen.
The Little Thunder King, the strongest among the rest, had just detected a hint of that dangerous aura.
Before he could even react.
BOOM—!
It was like a God and Demon of the Nine Heavens taking a shocking step!
Or a primeval heavenly dragon opening its eyes and soaring from the abyss!
The weight of a billion heavens collapsing at once crushed the Ten Directions. In the span of a single thought, the force shook the endless Star Sea!
The magnetic fields and auras of all existence...
...were compressed, ignited, and detonated by that single step. Everything within sight and perception exploded into a blur of Chaos!
CLANG—BOOM!!
Amidst the chaotic blur.
The crowd saw a majestic physique slap the universe. The sound of the collision shattered the heavens as a multicolored galactic pulse of divine light erupted from the center of the Chaos, piercing through the firmament in all directions!
BOOM—
Immediately after.
A tsunami-like Chaos Storm shockwave spread out in successive, rapid layers, crushing everything tangible and intangible in its path and sweeping across the Nine Heavens Star Sea!
Some of the weaker cultivators...
...had their bodies torn to shreds by the shockwave on the spot!
They couldn’t even let out a scream.
They were swept up by the storm, along with a torrent of shattered star fragments, and violently pushed beyond the Star Sea in the cataclysmic chaos!
Fast!
It was too fast!
No one present had expected Wu Dao to erupt so brazenly without a word. And when he did, it was with such ferocious, domineering might, displaying an unbelievable level of Power!
RUMBLE—
The storm raged, more powerful than a tsunami.
Caught completely off guard, the Little Thunder King and the other Daoist Children were forced back hundreds of millions of miles before they could stop.
When they looked up in shock and suspicion toward the core of the Chaos Storm, their pupils contracted abruptly, their faces etched with disbelief!
Upon the Infinite Golden Stele!
A moment ago.
Su Chen had been looking down on Wu Dao with pity and condescension.
But now!
Like an insect swatted flat by a giant hand, he had exploded into a large, chaotic smear of flesh and blood, stuck fast to the Golden Stele!
This incredible scene...
...left everyone present stunned and speechless, as if they were in a dream!
The shock to the Little Thunder King was the greatest!
He knew better than anyone just how terrifying Su Chen was.
As a peer who had once crossed paths with him, he knew the feeling of that gap in power—an absolute, unchallengeable supremacy that left one feeling helpless, unable to even hope to catch up!
But now...
...that once-supreme monster!
...had been slapped into a paste, like a worthless bug, by a mere Dharma Aspect!
The contrast was too immense, too absurd!
For a moment.
Even the Little Thunder King couldn’t accept it, let alone the other All Heavens Daoists and Emperor’s Sons.
Before the Infinite Golden Stele!
Wu Dao’s aura was as vast as a realm, like a Purgatory Demon God. His abyssal eyes looked down upon the bug-like smear of Su Chen on the stele as his domineering voice shattered the Star Sea:
"Who do you think you are?! A little bastard who picks through trash, acting like you’re actually someone important?"
The tyrannical voice reverberated through the Ten Directions.
The profound, abyss-like, and irresistible pressure made everyone present feel as if a giant hand was squeezing their hearts. They could barely breathe, not even daring to look directly at him!
"Is this... the source of your confidence?"
Under the doubtful gazes of the crowd.
The blurry paste on the Infinite Golden Stele instantly reformed into Su Chen. He spoke in a low voice, laced with a hint of regret, "For a Dharma Aspect to wield such Power is indeed impressive, but it’s still..."
BOOM!
Once again, the heavy sound of a footstep, like a billion heavens collapsing, shook the Star Sea, shattered the ten celestial spheres, and instantly created a vacuum within the misty Chaos!
The Great Dao is simple!
It was still just an ordinary slap to the face!
But the abyssal Power it contained made everyone’s hair stand on end, rendering them incapable of even thinking of resisting!
"This ends now!"
A shadow flickered in Su Chen’s calm, water-like eyes. He was prepared this time. Naturally, he wouldn’t be...
SPLASH~
The sound of the Endless Sea of Suffering churning could be heard.
From the Mud Prison Abyss, countless tormented Evil Ghosts howled, their wails throwing souls into chaos, while a billion bolts of Celestial Thunder, carrying an unstoppable destructive Celestial Might, filled the heavens!
The moment the Three-Phase Divine Punishment Fist emerged!
The three ultimate calamitous powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man crashed down like a sea. There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. It seemed as if all living things in the myriad heavens were destined to suffer eternal punishment, with no hope of transcendence!
Another explosion without any warning!
Even the prepared Su Chen’s mind fell into a trance for an instant!
And in that single instant...
CLANG—BOOM!!
The Infinite Golden Stele shook violently, as if struck by an ancient, massive star!
The once-unbeatable Su Chen!
Was truly like a swatted fly!
He was once again splattered like mud onto the Infinite Golden Stele!
’This man, is he hiding his cultivation?’
The Little Thunder King stared at Wu Dao, who stood as tall as a Celestial Pillar, his sense of dread climbing to its peak!
’Once could be a fluke.’
’Twice is real strength!’
He would never believe that someone in the Dharma Realm could beat Su Chen like a dead dog. The only explanation was that Wu Dao was hiding his cultivation level!
"So weak, yet so high and mighty. Truly... clueless!"
Wu Dao, his body like that of a world-conquering Demon God, stood at the apex of the Star Sea. He looked down upon the shattered form of Su Chen on the Infinite Golden Stele as if observing a humble yet arrogant bug.
When dealing with this kind of clueless dog...
...he was very experienced.
Back then, Cyan Yu Celestial Venerable...
...had been even more stubborn than Su Chen!
Break their spine, crush their pride!
When they were forced to kneel and kowtow beneath him!
Status? Dao heart?
In the face of powerlessness.
All pride.
All their high and mighty airs were nothing but a joke!
"KILL!!"
A murderous cry as cold as primeval ice rang out.
Being swatted onto the Golden Stele like a bug twice...
...finally made Su Chen understand that the Wu Dao before him was not the pitiful Dharma Aspect he had assumed, but a true Fierce Beast that could genuinely threaten him!
BOOM!
Faster than a thought.
Su Chen fully unleashed his physical body, which suddenly became terrifying beyond measure. It was as if a colossal beast of Chaos was reawakening, his pores spewing forth a monstrous chaotic aura!
Mere wisps of Chaos Qi crushed the vast Xingyu, annihilating all existence and turning it into Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. It seemed he intended to revert the entire universe to the primordial age of Chaos before heaven and earth were born!
"What kind of Physique is this?!"
Hundreds of millions of miles away.
The faces of all the Daoist Children and Emperor’s Sons were pale.
The surrounding space-time was heavy and ravaged by Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, making it difficult to even stand. They felt their own Divine Demon Bodies being suppressed by a natural enemy, trembling in fear, wanting nothing more than to kneel and kowtow in worship!
"The Chaos Dantian!"
The Little Thunder King took a deep breath, his eyes filled with envy and dread. He commanded his vast Thunder Sea to carry his followers back another entire Star Realm’s distance.
Over a decade ago.
There was a competitive conference for the Celestial Prides of All Heavens, where one’s Daoist Lineage was the ticket to entry.
At that time, Su Chen...
...had single-handedly suppressed all the monstrous talents of the All Heavens, leaving them gasping for breath!
The main reason!
...was that Su Chen possessed the incredible Innate Chaos Body, making his physical form powerful to an unbelievable degree!
The Chaos Body!
The Horizontal Refining Fourteenth Gate!
A body like an Innate Chaotic Cosmos, with a foundation incomparable to any postnatal being. It encompasses all things and all Daos, and is just one step away from achieving the Dao through pure Power!
A Great Perfection Chaos Body...
...is said to be able to fight and kill a Daoist!
Normally.
A Horizontal Refiner can only achieve the Innate Chaos Body after going through the major stages of Reverse Innate, Immortal God and Demon, and Body Ascension!
But Su Chen was a monster.
An utter anomaly who defied common sense from birth, possessing a Chaos Dantian that cleared all obstacles on the path to the Chaos Body!
In other words.
Compared to other Horizontal Refiners who struggled every step of the way...
...Su Chen, with his Chaos Dantian, only needed to keep ’filling the container with water’ to inevitably achieve the Innate Chaos Body!
However, even without a fully formed Chaos Body.
Su Chen could still perform all sorts of heaven-defying feats thanks to his Chaos Dantian.
The most terrifying aspect...
...was that the Chaos Dantian could ignore the limitations of the Three Major Dantians. All kinds of Daos, Divine Communication Techniques, and Extraordinary Energies were merely food to temper and grow his Chaos Body!
Such a uniquely blessed advantage...
...determined that Su Chen’s Physique would be peerless at every stage. He had already mastered the various mysteries of the Chaos Body ahead of time, making him virtually impossible to defeat by anyone in the same realm!
’Is he ignorant, or fearless?’
While the Little Thunder King sighed with envy, he also noticed Wu Dao and frowned once more.
Because.
Even as Su Chen unsealed his Chaos Body and commanded the power of all existence, Wu Dao still wore an expression as if he were looking at trash.
He didn’t know what grudge the two had.
He only knew.
The Chaos Body was nearly unbeatable within the same realm!
The current upper limit on the Taiyi Emperor Star was the Emperor Grade Cave Heaven of the Thirty-Third Layer, and Su Chen had already reached that limit!
For Wu Dao to be so calm...
...where did his confidence come from?
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—
At the Ancestral Hall Peak of the Great Realm.
Su Chen’s physique was primordial and heavy as an abyss.
The aura spewing from his pores turned all existence into Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, re-enacting Chaos. It drew upon the endless, great power of the Star Sea’s ley lines in the Ten Directions, which rumbled and revolved around him.
