The concept of a born saint begins with Strange Tales from Liaozhai.

"What is this guy trying to do!"

Zhao Yan's expression changed drastically, and a strong sense of fear welled up in his heart.

How could someone with only the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator possibly be a match for Su Chen?

Even if he were only at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, and even if his cultivation were at the same level as Su Chen, he didn't think he could defeat this monster.

After all, this guy is only at the Tribulation Transcending stage, yet he can instantly kill a True Immortal. He's a monster!

Zhao Yan did not hesitate and immediately took out one life-saving item after another from his body.

Boom!

He unleashed one talisman after another, ranging from Nascent Soul to Divine Transformation level. The talismans rose in the wind and burst forth with various kinds of light in an instant.

Blazing flames and sharp sword beams... crashed down on the colossal, five-colored hand that blotted out the sky.

At the same time, Zhao Yan gritted his teeth and took out a gray broken sword.

hum!

The sword vibrated violently.

Immediately afterwards, wisps of gray light emerged from the broken sword, and even faint celestial energy emanated from it.

Boom!

The next instant, an incomparably terrifying gray sword aura suddenly shot into the sky, carrying a chillingly sharp aura, and went straight for the five-colored giant hand!

Cracks appeared in the space wherever the sword energy passed.

The mere aura emanating from them made He Dongqi, Su Linfeng, and the others in the distance feel suffocated, as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests, making it difficult to breathe.

They all stared wide-eyed.

Zhao Yan really does have a secret!

But no matter what they did, they never imagined that Zhao Yan's secrets were so great!

The power emanating from this sword was, in their perception, close to the sword energy longsword that the Cangfeng True Immortal had condensed not long ago!

He Dongqi and the others were deeply shaken.

Under their watchful eyes, the astonishing gray sword energy collided fiercely with the five-colored giant hand.

Boom!

A deafening roar suddenly erupted.

A fierce wind swept in all directions in an instant, causing the trees and spiritual plants on the mountain peaks to sway wildly, and dust to billow everywhere.

next moment.

The terrifying gray sword energy shattered instantly under the five-colored giant hand.

The sword energy shattered inch by inch, turning into a sky full of gray light and dissipating. However, the five-colored giant hand did not pause in the slightest, carrying terrifying power as it continued to grab towards Zhao Yan!

Despair immediately flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes.

Although he had long anticipated this outcome, when he actually saw that his all-out attack was utterly ineffective against Su Chen, a deep sense of despair still welled up in his heart.

Sure enough, this guy is a monster!

At the critical moment, just as the five-colored giant hand was about to land on him, a struggle flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes.

After a moment's hesitation, he clenched his teeth.

"There's no other way. The only way to save our lives now is to hide in the Immortal Realm!"

Even if the Immortal Realm is fraught with danger, we can't worry about that anymore!

Survival is the most important thing!

next moment.

As soon as Zhao Yan had a thought, the mysterious immortal gate in his dantian immediately emitted a dazzling immortal light.

Celestial light surged from his body, instantly illuminating his form.

In the blink of an eye, the body of the fish vanished without a trace amidst the stench and scorching heat!

"what?!"

He Dongqi and the others looked shocked.

At the same time.

Su Chen also made a move.

From the very beginning, his double pupils were fixed on Zhao Yan, so he naturally did not miss the sight of that immortal gate.

It must be said that, as expected of an innate spiritual treasure, the speed at which this immortal sect activated its power was truly astounding.

Normal cultivators, or even true immortals, would probably find it difficult to react in such a short time.

Unfortunately, under Su Chen's double pupils, everything moved very slowly.

Just as Zhao Yan's figure completely disappeared, and the immortal gate enveloped his body, about to escape into the immortal realm.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Chen said, "Time reversal."

The instant the sound faded.

Boom!

In an instant, everything on the inner mountain peak where Zhao Yan was located froze in place!

The spirit trees that had been swaying wildly in the gale, and the dust that had been dancing in the air, all fell into an eerie stillness at this moment.

Immediately afterward, under the stunned gazes of He Dongqi and the others, the frozen time began to flow backward!

Zhao Yan, who had disappeared, reappeared amidst the dazzling celestial light!

Originally, the essence of the elixir was absorbed into his body.

In the blink of an eye, time returned to the moment when the five-colored giant hand shattered the gray sword energy and Zhao Yan was about to activate the immortal gate.

Then, time resumed its normal flow.

The gale continued to howl, the spiritual trees swayed once more, and the remaining gray sword energy dissipated in all directions again.

Before Zhao Yan could recover, Su Chen's calm, completely undisturbed voice rang out once again.

"Time stands still."

In an instant, Zhao Jin's pupils suddenly contracted.

An irresistible force suddenly swept across the area of ​​the T-shaped mountain peak.

Zhao Jin's body froze, the gale stopped in mid-air, and the leaves of the spiritual plants ceased swaying...

Zhao Yan felt as if his body and soul were completely imprisoned by an incomprehensible and irresistible force.

If it weren't for a mysterious force helping him, allowing his thoughts to still be somewhat coherent, he wouldn't even be able to think at this moment, let alone perceive this situation where time seems to have frozen.

At that moment, he was like an insect trapped in amber, appearing both helpless and pitiful!

"What kind of power is this?!"

A tremendous wave of emotion surged within Zhao Yan.

Time stopped?

The power of time?!

How can such an ethereal and elusive power as time be controlled by humans?

Zhao Yan was incredulous, realizing for the first time just how vast the gap between himself and Su Chen had become.

Not to mention him, He Dongqi and the others were equally dumbfounded at this moment.

Ignoring their shock, Su Chen walked step by step through the air, calmly heading towards the inner peak where Zhao Yan was.

At this moment, everything within a certain area of ​​the inner mountain peak was frozen, except for him, who was still able to move.

Chapter 425 Imminent Ascension to the Immortal Realm

The world seemed to have transformed into a frozen painting, and he was the only person in that painting who could move.

This extreme contrast left He Dongqi and the others, who were watching from afar, feeling an indescribable sense of bewilderment and shock.

Su Chen ignored them and walked towards Zhao Yan on his own.

At the same time, his blue-gold double pupils shifted slightly, first landing on Zhao Yan, and then looking at the sky above.

The sky, which had returned to calm, suddenly changed at this moment.

The clear sky quickly darkened, dark clouds silently gathered, and the atmosphere between heaven and earth became oppressive.

Boom!

A terrifying thunderclap suddenly echoed.

It seemed as if Heaven was enraged, or perhaps it was issuing a warning.

Su Chen did not pause in his steps, and his expression remained calm.

Seeing that Su Chensi ignored the warnings, a series of muffled thunderclaps suddenly resounded in the sky.

Boom! Boom!

Immediately afterwards, terrifying bolts of lightning crashed down from the sky, carrying a chilling divine might, heading straight for Su Chen.

Unfortunately, all of this was in vain.

Before the utterly shocked eyes of He Dongqi, Su Linfeng, and the others, the bolts of lightning that descended from the sky suddenly stopped in mid-air as they approached the inner sect peak above Su Chen, where Zhao Yan was located.

Lightning frozen!

Thick bolts of lightning hovered in the sky above the inner peak of the mountain!

Clearly, the time of the heavenly lightning has also stopped!

Thunderbolts filled the sky above the mountain peaks.

Below, Su Chen walked calmly towards Zhao Yan step by step.

This scene is breathtaking.

At the same time, Heaven's will does more than just that; it wants to restore Zhao Jin's actions.

Unfortunately, even as the Heavenly Dao, it couldn't reclaim control over the rules of time, because Su Chen's understanding of the rules of time surpassed its own. It could only watch helplessly as the rules of time were used against Qi Lie Yin.

Of course, it wasn't entirely useless; Zhao Jin's ability to think was thanks to it.

Su Chen approached Zhao Yan and, under Zhao Yan's fearful gaze, slowly extended his right hand, reaching towards Zhao Yan's dantian.

The space rippled slightly as his palm passed directly through Zhao Yan's dantian.

Immediately afterwards, Su Chen's hand grasped something and pulled it back.

hum~

An ancient, mysterious celestial gate, radiating vast celestial light and covered with intricate patterns, appeared in his hand.

Just then, the Immortal Gate, which Su Chen held firmly in his hand, suddenly burst forth with a dense light.

Vast celestial light gushed forth from the door, and the ancient and intricate patterns lit up as well.

It struggled.

Due to the struggle of the immortals, the time freeze in the vicinity was temporarily invalidated.

At the same time, the immortal light emanating from the Immortal Gate covered Zhao Yan, obscuring his figure. In an instant, the mysterious and unpredictable aura of the Heavenly Dao also appeared, intertwining with the power of the Immortal Gate.

In the blink of an eye, under the combined power of the Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Dao, Zhao Yan, who was imprisoned by the rules of time and filled with hatred, suddenly blurred and disappeared.

As for where they went, it's obvious without even guessing—it must be the Immortal Realm.

Su Chen frowned slightly, his blue-gold double pupils darting around as his gaze fell upon the Immortal Gate, especially fixed on the light that had just erupted from it.

His double pupils shone with a divine light, as if he could see through everything hidden within them.

In just a moment, Su Chen realized what this thing was.

The innate, indestructible spiritual light of the Immortal Sect of Innate Spiritual Treasures!
