Chapter 210: Chapter 117: Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment

"What are your plans?"

Su Chen walked over and gazed at the distant mountains. Dressed in his Muddy World Profound Robe, he stood with his back to the five Immortal Demon Prodigies who had descended from the Mountain Sea Realm, completely unguarded. It was as if he didn’t even register the five Foundation Establishment Middle Realm prodigies who had once reigned supreme in the Eastern Domain World.

And in truth, that was the case.

After nearly forty years of cultivation, he had reached the end of Mortal Cultivation, achieving Extreme Dao Ascension.

In this world.

He was already invincible.

Even the Immortal Demon Giants of the Cultivation Realm were so wary of a Demon True Dragon like him that they hadn’t hesitated to use Severed Communication to lock him away here.

"Heh."

"There’s no way out for us."

"Demon Dragon! Kill us or cut us up, do as you please!"

"Either way, you’re trapped here to die, too. Sooner or later, your life will run out. With you to accompany us, what’s so bad about dying to rid the Mountain Sea Realm of a menace like you?"

The five Immortal Demon Prodigies sneered at Su Chen. After some hesitation, they ultimately chose not to attack.

They couldn’t win.

So they just gave up, presenting themselves as if ready for slaughter.

The one and only.

Dying here alongside the one-of-a-kind Ten-Sound Demon Dragon prodigy wouldn’t be a disgrace to their status.

It’s just... they clenched their fists. They still felt so unwilling to accept this.

They had been utterly loyal to their respective Immortal Sects and Demon Sects, willing to stagnate for six years and halt their cultivation just to descend to this realm and eliminate this menace for their Sects. Yet, in the end, they were abandoned without a second thought.

’Betrayal!’

They were furious!

But they were also helpless.

"Why would I kill you?"

Su Chen found it amusing.

They were the ones who wanted to fight to the death the moment they met.

Not him.

He held no grudge against the five of them.

Besides, they didn’t even have the strength to be considered his enemies now.

Su Chen left.

Leaving only the five Immortal Demon Prodigies staring at each other in front of the mountains.

They looked as if they had been humiliated.

In the Eastern Domain World, any one of them was a prodigy of the Foundation Establishment Great Realm whose very stomp could make hundreds of Dynasties tremble and cultivators cower in awe. But now, it seemed they weren’t even worthy of a second glance from him.

But he truly had the right to do so.

A terrifying Ten-Sound Demon Dragon was destined for greatness. If he ever left this place, he would surely stir up a storm in the Mountain Sea Realm, striking fear into the hearts of even the Immortal Demon Giants at the very pinnacle.

"This... might be for the best..."

"Perhaps. We might not be completely without a chance to leave this world of Severed Communication..."

After a long silence, Xuan Yue, the Daoist from the Great Li Sword Sect, picked up his Magical Artifact, the Three-foot Cyan Blade. His dark eyes gazed toward the distant Imperial City Ascension Tower.

There, there was a Gate.

Even they knew that this Gate was an exception, one that not even Severed Communication could seal.

But only those in the Extreme Realm could push open the Gate and leave.

"Are you crazy?!"

"That place... it leads to the battlefield of the second Heaven-Smiting War..."

"Besides, only those in the Extreme Realm can push open that ancient Bronze Gate! A Guiding Envoy of the Extreme Realm will even descend to lead the way. We are not in the Extreme Realm; we’ll definitely be killed. Trying to use that path is impossible..."

Three of the Daoists stared at Xuan Yue in terror.

The fourth, the Sun and Moon Daoist, had an even more volatile reaction, cursing directly.

"You’re insane!"

"If you want to die, don’t drag us with you! That’s a dead end!"

But Xuan Yue’s eyes were deep. He clenched his fists and spoke slowly.

"Perhaps. Perhaps it’s not a dead end..."

"You’ve seen the power of the Extreme Realm for yourselves. The Heaven-Reaching Immortal Path and Mortal Cultivation don’t conflict. The five of us are all prodigies, so why can’t we try this Extreme Realm Immortal Path?"

"It’s better than waiting here for our lives to run out, isn’t it?"

"Don’t forget. The five of us served our Sects like they were our Monarchs, and what did our Sects do? They treated us like pigs and dogs..."

The atmosphere grew silent.

The five Immortal Demon Prodigies looked out at this world of Severed Communication, their eyes filled with twisted rage.

But they still couldn’t make up their minds.

Extreme Ascension to Immortality... every step on that path involved devouring Immortals. It was like being a Demon Fiend—no, it was more terrifying than any Demon Fiend!

’Could they really do it?!’

"Perhaps. Perhaps the Extreme Realm Immortal Path is the true Immortal Path..."

"The Ten-Sound Demon Dragon!"

"That is a truly powerful Immortal!"

Xuan Yue gazed at the mountains where Su Chen had gone, his fists tightening, his eyes filled with longing.

He, too, wanted to become such a peerless and magnificent figure!

’The Extreme Realm!’

’No matter what. I must set foot on that path and witness the splendor of an Immortal Path even more terrifying than the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Path!’

...

...

Deep within the mountains, the farmland was a complete mess. Even the heaven-reaching Silver Radiance Tree that stood tall had many of its branches and leaves broken off. Its former glory was gone, leaving only a bare trunk and, in the middle of the fields, the barefoot Earth Spirit Elder.

The Earth Spirit, with his white hair and beard, stared at the empty Immortal Pavilion at the foot of Cloud Concealment Mountain and remained silent for a long time.

"Sigh."

"A fire at the city gate is a disaster for the fish in the moat."

"Indeed. If it’s not meant to be, you can’t force it."

He was sighing.

Behind him, a figure in a Profound Robe—a youth who looked like an Immortal—strode forward. He too stared at the empty pit where the Immortal Pavilion had vanished without a trace, and he too was silent.

Severed Communication!

It had sealed the World in the Palm, isolating it from the Mountain Sea Realm.

And so, the Immortal Pavilion was gone.

The Earth Spirit’s long-held desire to use the heaven-reaching tree to create a second body, achieve Foundation Establishment Perfection, and even break free from the Palm of the Human World to travel to the Mountain Sea Realm and ascend beyond Foundation Establishment—all these hopes had been dashed.

Once the heaven-reaching tree completely withered and died and its last wisp of Vitality dissipated, the Earth Spirit would die as well, for his life was intrinsically linked to the tree’s.

"I’m sorry."

"This matter is my fault..."

"Severed Communication. I didn’t expect this."

Su Chen walked over, wanting to use his Longevity Blood to protect the heaven-reaching tree’s Vitality.

But unfortunately.

A drop of Longevity Blood emerged.

It was enough to transform a hundred-year-old Treasure Medicine into a Spirit Medicine.
