Situ Mie arrived faster than expected.

The next evening, a gray figure appeared on the horizon.

He wore a gray Taoist robe, his hair was gray, and his face was lined with deep wrinkles like knife-carved ravines.

He was followed by ten men in black, each exuding a terrifying aura of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

With ten late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and one peak Nascent Soul cultivator, this force would be enough to not only flatten the Qingyun Sect, but also half of the Northern Region.

However, instead of taking immediate action, they stopped a hundred miles outside the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate and set up camp.

Situ Mie stood in the center of the camp, looking at the small mountain in the distance. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with a killing intent that had not been seen in fifty thousand years.

The Grand Elder, Situ Kong, stood behind him with his head bowed.

He dared not look at his ancestor's face; every wrinkle on that face trembled.

"Ancestor, why not just charge straight in?"

Situ Mie didn't turn around; his eyes were fixed on the direction of the Qingyun Sect.

"That old codger from the Nine Heavens Holy Land is watching. If I make a move, he will. Killing Su Chen is easy for me, but what happens afterward? Will the Nine Heavens Holy Land let us go?"

He paused, then said, "Wait. Wait for an opportunity. Su Chen can't stay in the Qingyun Sect forever. He'll come out eventually."

Situ Kong nodded, "Ancestor is wise."

Su Chen stood on the edge of the main peak cliff, looking at the gray camp a hundred miles away.

Su Yao stood beside him, her expression grave.

"Ten late-stage Integration Realm cultivators and one peak Integration Realm cultivator. We can't beat them."

Su Chen didn't speak.

He knew he couldn't win.

There's no escaping it.

Situ Mie's tracking ability is unparalleled; he can find you no matter where you go.

For the first time, he felt that he might really be going to die.

"Scared?"

Su Yao looked at him.

"A little."

Su Chen looked at her. "But what I'm afraid of isn't death itself. It's what will happen to you after I die?"

Su Yao fell silent.

She looked at his profile, at the tenderness in his eyes, and felt an overwhelming warmth in her heart.

"You won't die."

She reached out and took his hand. "You are a Chaos Dao Body. A Chaos Dao Body is immortal and indestructible."

Su Chen laughed. "Who told you that?"

"Ancestor."

Su Chen looked at the gray camp in the distance, his killing intent as thick as ink.

If Situ Mie wants to kill him, he will also kill Situ Mie.

But he can't beat them, at least not now.

He needs greater power.

Only by mastering the ninth level of the Nine Heavens Divine Body can one have a chance to fight Situ Mie.

However, the ninth level requires the late stage of the Fusion Realm to practice, and he was only in the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm, a small realm below him.

Forcibly raising one to the late stage of the Fusion Realm using the Heart of Chaos can only maintain the level for three days; after three days, the level will drop back down.

Is three days enough for him to reach the ninth level?

That's not enough; it will take at least three months.

Situ Mie wouldn't give him three months.

Little Black flew over from a distance and landed beside him.

It rubbed its soft head against his chest, making a low gurgling sound in its throat, as if to comfort him.

Su Chen reached out and patted its head. "Are you scared too?"

Xiao Hei shook his head, his blood-red eyes filled with determination.

It wasn't afraid; it wanted to fight alongside him.

Tianxiang ran over from the direction of Hongxiuyuan, the bells on her little feet jingling.

She wore a new light pink dress today, with a neckline higher than usual, but her two huge breasts still made the dress look very tight.

She ran up to him and grabbed his sleeve.

"Senior Brother Su Chen, I heard that Situ Mie has arrived."

"Um."

Aren't you going to run?

"You can't escape."

Tianxiang's eyes reddened, but she didn't cry.

She loosened her grip on his sleeve. "Then I won't run away. I'll stay with you."

Su Chen looked at her, at her frightened yet stubborn expression, and the pain in his heart surged up again.

He reached out and gently patted her head. "Silly girl."

Tianxiang lowered her head; the bells on her little feet remained silent and did not ring.

Chu Hongxiu walked over from the direction of Hongxiu Garden. Today she was wearing a bright red long dress with a very low neckline, revealing most of her two large breasts.

Her face looked terrible.

"Su Chen, I contacted my old friends in Zhongzhou. They said that Yao Guang Holy Land has sent more than ten late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. There are twenty more waiting a hundred miles away. Situ Mie is determined to kill you this time."

Su Chen's heart sank.

Thirty late-stage Fusion Realm cultivators, and one peak-stage Fusion Realm cultivator.

How can I fight someone who's only at the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm?

"What about the Nine Heavens Sacred Land?"

He looked at Su Yao.

Su Yao shook her head, "The ancestor cannot make a move. If he does, the ancestor of the Yao Guang Holy Land will also make a move. If the two holy lands go to war, the Central Plains will be in chaos."

Su Chen fell silent.

He knew that Su Yao was right.

"Then we won't fight."

He turned around. "Let's go."

Su Yao was stunned. "Leave?"

"Hmm. Situ Mie's tracking ability is unparalleled; he can find you anywhere. But there's one place he can't find."

"where?"

"East Sea, the Eye of the Ruins."

Su Yao's expression changed.

The Eye of Return to Nothingness is so powerful that even those at the Integration Stage cannot escape once they enter.

He was able to get out last time because of luck.

This time, luck might not be on our side.

Are you sure?

"Sure."

Su Chen looked at her and said, "Instead of waiting to die here, why not go in and take a gamble? What if you succeed?"

Su Yao looked at the madness in his eyes and smiled, "Okay. I'll go with you."

Tianxiang tugged at his sleeve, "I'll go too."

Chu Hongxiu nodded, "I'll go too."

Ling Qianxue, in her avatar, walked over from the direction of the other courtyard. "I'm going too."

Li Mingyue flew over from the direction of Liyang City, "I'm going too."

The second princess also flew over, saying, "I'm going too."

Su Chen looked at the six women and smiled, "Okay. Let's go together."

Seven people took flight and headed towards the East China Sea.

Xiao Hei followed behind them, its enormous figure obscuring half the sky.

Situ Mie stood in the center of the camp, watching the direction they disappeared in, but did not chase after them.

He smiled.

"The Eye of the Ruins? Once you go there, you can't come back."

Situ Kong stood behind him. "Ancestor, shall we not give chase?"

"Don't chase."

Situ Mie looked at him.

"There are ancient ferocious beasts in the Eye of the Ruins, several of them at the peak of the Integration Realm. If they go in, they will surely die. Let's wait. We'll collect their corpses after they're dead."

Situ Kong nodded, "Ancestor is wise."

The Eye of Guixu lies deep within the East Sea.

The enormous vortex is still there, and the black hole at its center is still there.

Su Chen stood at the edge of the black hole, looking at the endless darkness inside, and took a deep breath.

"Jump."

Seven people jumped.

Everything was pitch black; I couldn't see anything.

All I could hear was the roar of the sea and the cracking sound of bones being squeezed.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly my vision brightened.

A vast underground space, larger than any other ruin I've ever visited.

All around was primordial chaos, hazy and misty like fog.

Exactly the same as last time.

But this time, something is deep inside.

Su Chen activated his Chaos Perception and discovered that there were demonic beasts within a hundred miles.

There is more than one at the peak of fusion.

Three.

One is on the left, one is on the right, and one is in front.

Three ferocious beasts at their peak combined form blocked three directions.

Su Yao's expression changed. "Three?"

"Um."

Su Chen looked at her and said, "You can have the one on the left, I can have the one on the right, and Xiao Hei can have the one in front."

Su Yao looked at him. "Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Su Chen looked at her, "You're at the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm, you can't beat someone at the peak of the Fusion Realm. But you can hold them off. Hold them off until I deal with the one on the right and come help you."

Su Yao nodded, "Okay."

The seven people separated.

Su Chen led Tianxiang, Chu Hongxiu, Ling Qianxue (incarnation), Li Mingyue, and the Second Princess to the right.

Su Yao walked to the left alone.

Xiao Hei walked forward.

The ferocious beast on the right is a giant octopus with tentacles as thick as buckets and hundreds of feet long.

The tentacles were covered with suckers, and the suckers were full of barbs.

The pinnacle of fusion.

It saw Su Chen and its tentacle reached out.

Su Chen didn't dodge. He gathered the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder in his palm and shot out a golden bolt of lightning.

Lightning struck the tentacle, and it exploded.

The octopus roared in pain, and more tentacles lashed out.

Su Chen unleashed bolts of lightning, each severing a tentacle.

The octopus had fewer and fewer tentacles; it was scared and wanted to run away.

Su Chen chased after it, and the Nine Heavens Divine Fire shot out from his palm, burning the octopus's body.

The octopus caught fire, screaming and struggling, before finally burning to ashes.

Su Chen turned around and went to help Su Yao.

The ferocious beast on the left is a giant scorpion with a ten-zhang-long poisonous stinger on its tail, the tip of which gleams with a ghostly green light.

The pinnacle of fusion.

Su Yao was already injured from fighting with it; her arm was cut and bleeding profusely.

Su Chen rushed over, and the Nine Heavens Divine Water sprayed from his palm, pouring onto the scorpion's body.

The scorpion was tossed about by the water, its stinger flailing wildly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Chen rushed forward, and the Nine Heavens Divine Wind blew out from his palm, blowing onto the scorpion's body.

The scorpion was blown off its feet by the wind and fell to the ground.

Su Chen struck the scorpion on the head with his sword. The scorpion's head was severed, its body twitched twice, and then it remained still.

Su Yao looked at him. "You killed it?"

"Um."

Su Chen looked at her. "Are you injured?"

"External injury".

Su Yao tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the wound on her arm.

The two went to find Xiao Hei.

Little Black was engaged in a fierce battle with the ferocious beast in front of him.

The ferocious beast was a huge python, entirely black, as thick as a bucket, and hundreds of feet long.

The pinnacle of fusion.

Xiao Hei bit the python's vital spot, and the python coiled around Xiao Hei's neck.

Neither can do anything about the other.

Su Chen rushed over, and the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning struck the python's head.

The python was stunned by the chop and released Little Black.

Xiao Hei seized the opportunity to bite the python's vital spot, killing it.

Su Chen looked at Xiao Hei, "Are you alright?"

Xiao Hei shook his head; there were several marks on his neck from being strangled, but no bones were broken.

Su Chen took out a piece of spirit beast meat from his storage ring and tossed it to the creature.

Little Black opened its mouth to catch it, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

All three ferocious beasts are dead.

The Eye of the Ruins is safe.

But they haven't found what they're looking for yet.

Chaos fragments exist within the Eye of the Ruins.

Su Chen activated his Chaos Perception and found it.

In the deepest part.

Seven people walked inside.

Passing through layer after layer of chaotic primordial energy, we arrived at the deepest point.

At the deepest point, there is a stone platform, and on the platform is a box.

The box was gold and covered with runes.

Su Chen walked over and opened the box.

There was a stone lying inside.

The stone was golden, the size of a fist, and covered with runes.

The Chaos Fragment was enormous, larger than any he had obtained before.

He held the stone in his hand, infused it with spiritual power, and the fragments of laws within the stone flowed into his body.

The meridians were tearing, the dantian was trembling, and the spiritual energy was running rampant.

It hurts, it fucking hurts.

But he endured it and refused to let go.

The fragments of the law spun in his dantian, merging with the previous fragments.

My understanding of the laws of chaos increased from 100% to 110%.

He opened his eyes, and they were pure gold.

The laws of chaos have been perfected.

It's not 100%, it's 110%.

It exceeded that.

He broke through to the late stage of the Fusion Realm.

It wasn't a forced upgrade using the Heart of Chaos; it was a genuine breakthrough.

He stood up, his bones cracking and popping.

Clench your fist, and golden lightning, flames, water, wind, earth, wood, gold, and light dance on it.

Eight forces, united as one.

The Nine Heavens Divine Body, ninth level, is complete.

Su Yao looked at him. "You've broken through?"

"Hmm. Late stage of fusion."

Su Yao smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Su Chen looked at her and said, "Thank you."

Seven people walked out.

Su Chen stopped at the edge of the black hole.

A man stood at the entrance of the cave, wearing a gray Taoist robe, with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles, but his eyes shone like two stars.

Situ was destroyed.

Behind him stood thirty men in black, all of whom were at the late stage of the Fusion Realm.

He looked at Su Chen and smiled.

"Su Chen, we meet again."

Su Chen gripped the Chaos Sword tightly. "How did you get in?"

"They came in with you."

Situ Mie smiled.

"You think I didn't know you'd come to the Eye of Ruins? I've been waiting for you. Waiting for you to go in, waiting for you to get the Chaos Fragment, waiting for you to come out. And then—" He raised his hand.

He slapped down, "I'll kill you."

Su Chen didn't dodge; the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning shot out from his palm and collided with the black palm wind.

With a loud bang, Su Chen was forced back several steps, while Situ Mie remained completely still.

The difference between the late stage of the Fusion Realm and the peak stage of the Fusion Realm is only one minor realm, but the difference in strength cannot be measured by a single minor realm.

Situ Mie looked at him. "You've become stronger. But it's not enough."

Su Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Even if it's not enough, we'll still have to fight."

Situ Mie laughed, "Alright. Let's fight then."

He raised his hand and struck again.

Su Chen didn't dodge; the Nine Heavens Divine Fire shot out from his palm and collided with the black palm wind.

With a loud bang, Su Chen was knocked back several steps, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth again.

Situ Mie remained completely still.

"Too weak."

Situ Mie looked at him and said, "Your Nine Heavens Divine Body is not yet fully mastered. You can't defeat me if you use the eight powers separately. You haven't even mastered using them together."

Su Chen fell silent.

He knew that Situ Mie was right.

He hasn't yet mastered the ninth level of the Nine Heavens Divine Body, where eight powers are combined into one.

It's not that I don't want to learn, it's that I can't learn it.

Eight forces were fighting in his dantian, none of them willing to yield to the other.

He tried to force it once, and his dantian almost exploded.

"I'll teach you."

Situ Mie laughed, "I'll help you merge after you die."

He raised his hand, and delivered the third blow.

This time it was even more ruthless; the palm strike was as black as ink, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Su Chen closed his eyes.

Am I going to die?

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of dying. What would happen to Tianxiang then?

What should Su Yao do?

What should Chu Hongxiu do?

They were all waiting for him to come back.

He cannot die.

He opened his eyes, and they were pure gold.

Eight forces surged within his dantian: lightning, fire, water, wind, earth, wood, metal, and light, none willing to yield to the others.

This time, however, he didn't force the issue.

He let them fight, and eventually a winner would emerge.

Lightning won, and the other seven forces submitted.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder became the core of the Nine Heavens Divine Body.

He raised his hand, and a golden bolt of lightning shot out from his palm.

It's not ordinary Nine Heavens Divine Thunder; it's Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that has fused with the powers of seven other forces.

The lightning struck the black palm wind, shattering it.

Situ Mie was forced back a step, and his expression changed.

"you--"

Su Chen looked at him and said, "Your palm strike is not strong enough."

Situ Mie's face turned ashen.

He has lived for 50,000 years, and no one has ever dared to speak to him like that.

He raised his hand, the fourth strike.

Su Chen also raised his hand, and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder shot out.

The two forces collided with a loud bang, and Situ Mie was forced back three steps, as was Su Chen.

A draw.

Situ Mie looked at him, his heart filled with a murderous intent as thick as ink.

This man cannot be kept.

He turned around. "Let's go."

Thirty men in black followed him.

Su Chen stood there, looking in the direction they had disappeared, panting heavily.

This palm strike exhausted all of his spiritual power.

His legs were so weak he could barely stand, but he still stood, using his sword to support himself on the ground.

Tianxiang ran over and helped him up.

"Senior Brother Su Chen, are you alright?"

"fine."

Su Chen shook his head.

Su Yao also came over, "That palm strike you just delivered was incredibly powerful."

"It used the core of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder."

Su Chen looked at her, "Lightning has won, and the other seven powers have submitted. The Nine Heavens Divine Body, ninth level, is complete."

Su Yao smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Su Chen looked at her and said, "Thank you."

Seven people flew out of the Eye of the Ruins.

The sun was glaring outside, but the sea was calm.

Su Chen took a deep breath; there was a salty, fishy smell in the air.

He looked back at the black hole, thinking of Situ Mie.

He will come again.

Next time I come, I won't be alone.

He will bring more people with him.

Su Chen needs more power, enough to defeat Situ Mie.

How to become stronger?

he does not know.

But he had a premonition that an even bigger storm was yet to come.

In the distance, on the horizon, a figure was flying towards them.

White dress, gold eyes, Su Yao.

No, Su Yao is right next to him.

Who is that?

The figure grew closer and clearer.

It was a woman, wearing a white dress and with golden eyes, who looked exactly like Su Yao.

But their temperaments are completely different.

Su Yao is aloof, she is gentle.

Su Yao's expression changed when she saw the woman. "Sister?"

Su Chen was stunned.

Su Yao's older sister?

Is there a Great Saintess in the Nine Heavens Holy Land?

The woman landed and looked at Su Yao. "Little sister, it's been a long time."

Su Yao looked at her and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I've come to save you."

The woman looked at Su Chen. "You're Su Chen?"

"Yes."

"My name is Su Wan, the Great Saintess of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Peak of the Integration Stage."

She looked at Su Chen.

"Situ Mie won't let this go. He'll bring even more people after he goes back. Next time, it won't just be thirty late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, it will be fifty. There will also be the ancestor of the Yao Guang Holy Land, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. You can't defeat them."

Su Chen looked at her. "Then what should we do?"

"Come with me."

Su Wan looked at him, "Go to the Nine Heavens Holy Land. The Ancestor wants to see you."

Su Chen looked at her, noticing the seriousness in her eyes, and nodded, "Okay."

The seven people followed Su Wan and flew towards Zhongzhou.

As Su Chen watched her retreating figure, her white silk-clad legs swaying in the sunlight, a complex feeling welled up inside him again.

Su Yao's older sister, the Great Saintess of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, at the peak of the Fusion Realm.

Why did she come to save them?

he does not know.

But he had a premonition that the Nine Heavens Holy Land was more mysterious than he had imagined.

The Sacred Land of the Nine Heavens, the Palace of the Nine Heavens.

Ancestor Su Tian sat in the main seat, looked at Su Chen, and smiled.

"You broke through?"

"Hmm. Late stage of fusion."

"You've also mastered the ninth level of the Nine Heavens Divine Body?"

"Um."

Su Tian nodded. "Not bad. Faster than I expected."

He stood up and walked up to Su Chen.

"Situ Mie won't let this go. He'll come back. Next time, it won't just be him alone, but also the other old monsters from Yaoguang Holy Land. You can't defeat them alone."

Su Chen looked at him, "Then what should we do?"

"Participate in the trial."

Su Tian looked at him.

"The three holy lands of Zhongzhou hold a Trial of Gods and Demons once every ten thousand years. Cultivators at the Integration stage can participate. In the trial arena, there are inheritances left by ancient gods and demons. If you can obtain them, you can break through to the peak of the Integration stage. At that time, Situ Mie will no longer be your match."

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat. "The Trial of Gods and Demons? When does it start?"

"Three months later."

Su Tian looked at him, "The location is in Zhongzhou, at the Ruins of Gods and Demons. Each of the three holy lands will offer ten spots. The Nine Heavens Holy Land has one spot, which is for you."

Su Chen looked at him and said, "Thank you, senior."

"You're welcome."

Su Tian looked at him and said, "Live well. Come back alive."

Su Chen nodded, "Okay."

Three months is neither a long nor a short time.

Su Chen cultivates every day to consolidate his late-stage Integration Realm cultivation and practice the ninth level of the Nine Heavens Divine Body.

He has become increasingly proficient in integrating the eight powers, and now when he strikes out, the power is ten times greater than before.

But he knew that wasn't enough.

Situ Mie is at the peak of the Integration Realm, has lived for 50,000 years, and has a much deeper foundation than him.

He needs more power.

The Trial of Gods and Demons is his only chance.

The news spread throughout the entire Central Plains.

The three sacred lands, where the trials of gods and demons are held once every ten thousand years, will begin in three months.

All cultivators at the Integration Stage can participate.

The Yao Guang Holy Land, the Tai Xu Holy Land, and the Jiu Xiao Holy Land will each offer ten slots.

Other forces and independent cultivators can also participate, but they need to go through a selection process.

When the news reached the Northern Region, Tianxiang was kneading dough in the courtyard.

Upon hearing the news, she dropped the dough in her hand to the ground without picking it up.

"Senior Brother Su Chen, are you going to participate in the Trial of Gods and Demons?"

"Um."

Tianxiang looked at him and said, "I'll go with you."

Su Chen looked at her and said, "No. The training grounds are too dangerous. Even cultivators at the Integration stage have a nine-out-of-ten chance of dying if they go in. You, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, would be committing suicide if you went in."

Tianxiang's eyes reddened, but she didn't cry.

She lowered her head. "Then come back soon."

Su Chen reached out and gently touched her head. "You'll come back. You'll definitely come back."

Three months later, in Zhongzhou, the ruins of gods and demons.

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the ruins, looking at the golden pillar of light shooting into the sky.

The beam of light was a hundred feet thick, piercing straight into the sky, exactly like the one found in the ancient ruins.

He took a deep breath and went inside.

The ruins are very large, larger than any other ruins I've visited before.

The surrounding area was all stone walls, which were covered with runes.

These are not primordial runes, but even more ancient runes, divine and demonic runes.

Su Chen didn't recognize them, but he could sense that these runes contained power, a very strong power.

He walked in, passing through one stone door after another, until he arrived at a huge stone chamber.

The stone chamber was filled with people, all of whom were cultivators at the Integration stage.

There were thousands of people, including those from the three holy lands, other forces, and independent cultivators.

They became agitated when they saw Su Chen.

"Su Chen is here!"

"The Chaos Dao Body has arrived!"

"Is he also going to participate in the Trial of Gods and Demons?"

"The spot given to him by the Nine Heavens Holy Land."

"He has a chance in the later stages of his fusion."

"A chance? There are several peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the Trial of Gods and Demons. He's just a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, what's that?"

Su Chen ignored them and found a corner to stand in.

Su Yao walked out from the crowd of the Nine Heavens Holy Land and went to his side.

"nervous?"

"A little."

Su Chen looked at her. "And you?"

"A little bit too."

Su Yao smiled, "But I'm even more looking forward to it. The Trial of Gods and Demons only happens once every ten thousand years. To be able to participate is a blessing."

Su Chen nodded, "Mm."

Xiao Yi walked out from the crowd of Taixu Holy Land and stood in front of him.

"Su Chen, we meet again."

Su Chen looked at him. "You're here too?"

"Yes. It's a spot given to me by the Taixu Holy Land."

Xiao Yi looked at him. "In the training grounds, we are opponents. I will not show any mercy."

Su Chen looked at him, "I don't know either."

Xiao Yi smiled. "That's good."

Situ Ao walked out from the crowd of Yaoguang Holy Land, looking at Su Chen with eyes full of hatred.

He didn't say anything, just looked at it for a few seconds, then turned and left.

An old man emerged from the depths of the ruins.

He was wearing a golden Taoist robe, his hair was completely white, but his face had few wrinkles and his skin was as smooth as a baby's.

The guardian of the ruins of gods and demons, at the peak of the Fusion Realm, has lived for 100,000 years.

He looked at those people and smiled.

"The Trial of Gods and Demons takes place once every ten thousand years. The rules are simple: there are three trials within the ruins. The first trial is the Illusionary Realm of Gods and Demons. The second trial is the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. The third trial is the Inheritance of Gods and Demons. Those who can pass all three trials will receive the Inheritance of Gods and Demons."

He paused, then said, "Begin."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was simultaneously enveloped in a golden light.

Su Chen's vision went black for a moment, and when his vision returned, he was standing on a wasteland.

The wasteland was littered with corpses—human, beast, god, and demon.

Blood flowed like rivers, and bones piled up like mountains.

The Realm of Gods and Demons, Level One.

Su Chen activated his Chaos Perception and found living beings within a hundred miles.

There is more than one person at the peak of the Fusion Realm.

ten.

Ten phantom images of gods and demons at the peak of the Fusion Realm rushed towards him.

Su Chen didn't dodge; the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning shot out from his palm, striking the foremost phantom of a god and demon.

The phantom image shattered.

But the other phantoms were still rushing forward.

Su Chen unleashed bolts of lightning, each shattering a phantom.

All ten phantom images shattered.

First hurdle passed.

His vision went black for a moment, and when his vision returned, he was already standing on a battlefield.

The battlefield was teeming with people—from the three holy lands, other forces, and rogue cultivators—all locked in fierce combat.

Battlefield of Gods and Demons, Second Stage.

The rules are simple: kill until only one person remains.

Su Chen looked at those people, his killing intent as thick as ink.

He didn't want to kill them, but if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to get through this ordeal.

If you fail to pass the test, you will not receive the divine and demonic inheritance.

Without the inheritance of gods and demons, one cannot defeat Situ Mie.

If you can't beat Situ Mie, you'll die.

He took a deep breath, and lightning from the heavens shot out from his palm, striking the person at the front.

The man was sent flying by the blow, crashed to the ground, and coughed up blood.

He didn't die; Su Chen held back.

But others won't hold back.

They saw Su Chen and rushed over.

Dozens of people and dozens of sword energies slashed at the same time.

Su Chen didn't dodge; the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder transformed into a golden shield, blocking all the sword energy.

Then, he raised his hand, and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder transformed into countless golden bolts of lightning, striking those people.

Those people were cleaved away, crashed to the ground, and coughed up blood.

They didn't die, but they were all seriously injured.

Su Chen looked at them and said, "Admit defeat. You can't beat me."

Those people looked at him, saw the murderous intent in his eyes, and were afraid.

They got up and ran.

Second hurdle, passed.

His vision went black for a moment, and when his vision returned, he was standing in a huge palace.

In the center of the palace was a stone platform, and on the platform was a box.

The box was gold and covered with runes.

The Legacy of Gods and Demons, the Third Stage.

Su Chen walked over and opened the box.

There was a stone lying inside.

The stone was golden, the size of a fist, and covered with runes.

The Heart of Gods and Demons contains the complete laws of gods and demons.

He reached out to grab it, and the moment his hand touched the stone, a terrifying force surged from it and poured into his body.

The meridians were tearing, the dantian was trembling, and the spiritual energy was running rampant.

It hurts, it fucking hurts.

But he endured it and refused to let go.

The fragments of the law spun in his dantian, merging with the laws of chaos.

The law of chaos increased from 110% to 200%.

He opened his eyes, and they were pure gold.

He broke through to the peak of the Fusion Realm.

It's not about cultivation, but about having the heart of a god or demon.

He stood up, his bones cracking and popping.

Clench your fist, and golden lightning, flames, water, wind, earth, wood, gold, and light dance on it.

The eight powers were completely integrated.

The Nine Heavens Divine Body has been fully formed.

He walked out of the palace.

Outside, everyone was watching him.

His eyes held awe, envy, and fear.

Su Chen ignored them and walked up to Su Yao.

"Let's go."

Su Yao looked at him. "You got it?"

"Um."

"Then let's go."

The two walked outside.

Xiao Yi watched their retreating figures without saying a word.

Situ Ao watched their retreating figures, his eyes filled with hatred.

Outside the ruins of gods and demons, Situ Mie stood there, waiting for Su Chen.

He looked at Su Chen and smiled.

"You obtained the inheritance of gods and demons?"

"Um."

"Then you deserve to die even more."

He raised his hand and slapped it down.

Su Chen didn't dodge; the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning shot out from his palm and collided with the black palm wind.

With a loud bang, Situ Mie was blasted away and crashed to the ground, coughing up blood.

Su Chen remained completely still.

Situ Mie looked at him, the fear in his heart as thick as ink.

This man is too strong.

Even at the peak of the Fusion Realm, he couldn't withstand a single palm strike.

"Walk."

He got up and ran.

Su Chen watched the direction he disappeared in, but did not chase after him.

He turned to look at Su Yao, "Let's go home."

Su Yao smiled and said, "Okay."

The two took flight and headed towards the northern region.

As Su Chen watched her retreating figure, her white silk-clad legs swaying in the sunlight, a complex feeling welled up inside him again.

He's determined to marry this woman.

But does he like her?

do not know.

I don't like it, at least not now.

What's next?

Maybe.

Northern Region, Qingyun Sect.

Su Chen landed at the entrance of the villa and pushed the door open to go inside.

Little White jumped off the bed, climbed onto his shoulder, and rubbed its little head against his face.

He patted its little head and put it on the bed.

Tianxiang ran over from the direction of Hongxiuyuan and grabbed his sleeve.

"Senior Brother Su Chen, you're back!"

"Um."

"How's the Trial of Gods and Demons going?"

"Passed. Obtained the divine and demonic inheritance."

Tianxiang smiled, her eyes curving into two crescent moons.

She stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the cheek, and then turned and ran.

Su Chen watched her retreating figure and smiled.

This silly girl, she kisses me every day, runs around with me every day, and never gets tired of me.

In the distance, on the horizon, a figure was flying towards the Qingyun Sect.

He wore a gray Taoist robe, had gray hair, and his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes shone like two stars.

Situ Mie is here again.

This time, it wasn't just one person.

He was followed by fifty men in black, all of whom were at the late stage of the Integration Realm.

There are also ten elders, all at the peak of the Fusion Realm.

All the secrets of Yaoguang Holy Land have come.

He wanted to kill Su Chen, at any cost.

Su Chen stood in the courtyard, looking at the sixty figures, and smiled.

"Good timing."

He raised his hand, and divine lightning from the heavens shot out from his palm, transforming into a golden pillar of light that soared into the sky.

The beam of light exploded, transforming into countless golden bolts of lightning that struck the sixty people.

The sixty people were cleaved away, crashed to the ground, and coughed up blood.

Situ Mie was also cleaved away, crashing to the ground and coughing up blood.

He looked at Su Chen, his fear as thick as ink.

"you--"

Su Chen looked at him. "Want to continue?"

Situ Mie got up, turned around and ran.

The sixty people followed him and ran away.

Su Chen stood there, looking in the direction they had disappeared, and smiled.
