Chapter 180: Chapter 106: The Battle to Slay Heaven One

’Doesn’t Extreme Ascension to Immortality only happen after the Innate Realm, when one uses martial arts to ascend and step into Foundation Establishment?’

Beneath the vast expanse of black clouds, Su Chen felt a flicker of surprise as he perceived the brand-new power condensing from the fusion of Qi and blood within him.

Furthermore, the Perfection of the Junior Grandmaster realm, forged through the Great Extreme Realm, was supposed to involve opening all One Hundred and Eight Human Acupoints, shattering all Seventy-Two Earth Locks, and unsealing all Thirty-Six Celestial Gates.

But he found it strange.

The number of Human Acupoints that had burst open in his body had long since surpassed one hundred and eight. Hundreds, even thousands of them had erupted across his body, shining like brilliant stars.

As he stood upon the earth, endless Void Chains coiled around him. The sound of them shattering was constant, and though he couldn’t count them, the number far, far exceeded seventy-two.

’As for the Celestial Gates...’

In the depths of his perception, Su Chen didn’t see the so-called Thirty-Six Celestial Gates. Instead, he saw an impossibly tall Void Gate. This was the Celestial Gate that led to the Extreme Realm Grandmaster—the Innate Realm!

Those who could see this Gate were considered Sub-Innate.

To knock open the Celestial Gate and produce a wisp of Innate Qi was to enter the heaven-defying Innate Realm.

However...

It was unheard of.

For anyone’s Celestial Gate to be so monumentally high, reaching such a terrifying, impossible height!

Even for the Two Venerables of Great Yu, who stood on par with the Three Immortals—one a prodigy of the Sword Dao, the other at Little Extreme Realm Perfection—their Celestial Gates were said to be a mere few hundred feet high at most...

A gate of such immense height.

Forget this World in the Palm.

Even in the Wordless Book from the Great Yu Library, there wasn’t a single recorded precedent among all the Extreme Realm Ascenders in the true Human World.

His Extreme Realm Minor Grandmaster realm corresponded to the normal Acquired Realm Perfection in Mortal Cultivation, but it was utterly bizarre. ’In all of history, I must be the only such anomaly,’ he mused.

After all.

He was likely the only person in existence who would complete all four major First-Grade Ceremonies before even considering stepping into the Mortal Cultivation path of an Extreme Realm Grandmaster.

’It’s true, then.’

’An Extreme Realm Cultivator!’

’He’s ascended to Immortality! It seems he’s already transcended the Innate Realm...’

In the distant Imperial Capital, Great Yu Yue’s heart clenched.

His guess had been correct.

This man really was a cultivator who had achieved Extreme Ascension to Immortality.

To think that this tiny World in the Palm could give birth to an Extreme Realm True Dragon. No wonder he could challenge the Heavens, provoking a divine fury that far surpassed what it had shown when facing the Great Yu Immortal Ancestor.

The Heavens hadn’t even taken this long to prepare when facing the Great Yu Immortal Ancestor.

However, Great Yu Yue had misunderstood something.

He thought Su Chen had achieved Extreme Ascension to Immortality from the Innate Realm.

Little did he know.

Su Chen was, at this moment, only an Extreme Realm Minor Grandmaster, equivalent to Acquired Perfection, or perhaps Sub-Innate.

He was a one-of-a-kind, terrifying existence who had ascended to Immortality from the Extreme Realm First Grade.

Even among Extreme Realm Immortals, he would be considered the most unique of them all.

"The World in the Palm is like a furnace, needing a continuous supply of firewood to keep the fire from going out..."

"To throw away your life for a pile of firewood... Do you think it is worth it?"

An imperious voice rang out as an ethereal figure in a white robe appeared.

Celestial Will had arrived.

But it was not just Celestial Will that appeared. Within the vast black clouds writhed a terrifying, majestic beast. It had no true form, only a body made of apocalyptic lightning.

It was colossal, so immense it seemed to swallow the sky and devour the earth, erasing all Vitality. Even the glow of its lightning had turned a black that radiated Annihilation and death.

It was a great calamity made manifest, an apocalypse descending upon the world.

Celestial Will, the ethereal figure in white, stood atop this Heavenly Punishment Divine Beast, coldly staring down at the pitiful ant on the ground who had plunged his longsword into the earth.

"This..."

"How is this possible!"

"A fifty-thousand-foot-tall Heavenly Punishment Divine Beast?"

"Back then, the Heavenly Punishment Divine Beast that destroyed the Great Yu Immortal Ancestor was only thirty thousand feet tall! This one... its power is almost at the Dao Platform realm..."

「In the distant Daqian Imperial Capital.」

The One King, Two Venerables, and Three Immortals, who were watching from afar, all turned pale with shock.

They knew that with the eruption of the Three Fortunes squeezing out the last dregs of potential from the nature’s spiritual energy in this Human World, Celestial Will would be stronger than ever for this heaven-rending battle.

But this was simply too much.

Su Chen couldn’t possibly win!

Not even if he was an Extreme Realm Ascender, not even with that astonishingly brilliant, terrifying sword strike that could rival the Eleventh Jue!

He still couldn’t win.

The World in the Palm was not the true Human World.

After the Heavenly Fall, the Gate had closed. No more cultivators could reach the Dao Platform, the realm of Foundation Establishment.

A forty-thousand-foot-tall Heavenly Punishment Divine Beast was supposed to be the absolute limit of the World in the Palm.

Even if the One King, Two Venerables, and Three Immortals joined forces, they would still be utterly defeated by such a creature.

"Retreat."

"Mr. Su."

"You have already done enough."

Beyond the former lands of the Zhu Country, the terrifying, mountain-sized Lord of Demon Mountain sighed, his voice reaching out to Su Chen.

This was a battle he was doomed to lose!

No one could have imagined that Celestial Will would go to such lengths to face Su Chen.

After this battle, even if it won, it would be so grievously wounded and its Primordial Qi so depleted that it would be powerless to interfere with the coming Immortal Arrival...

But Su Chen did not retreat.

"Firewood?"

Su Chen, clad in his Muddy World Profound Robe with his hands clasped behind his back, was smiling.

His eyes gazed out over the Daqian Mountains and Rivers. Across the vast, sprawling Daqian World, tens of millions of people bustled about their lives.

They lived in peace and contentment, their faces beaming with happiness.

The Emperor of Daqian was an ambitious and capable ruler.

He had the ability to control the world and bring an end to all conflict.

At the same time, his hands were stained with an ocean of blood. He had crushed the former states of Zhou and Liang, slaughtering countless people and factions.

The common people were happy.

Unprecedentedly so.

Even if their lives ended naturally at the age of fifty, they still felt a happiness they had never known before.
