Chapter 323: The Great Jing Immortal Dynasty (11)

Lan Batian released his aura without restraint, drawing the attention of other prodigies on the Path to Heaven.

"It's Lan Batian of the Blue Light Immortal Clan… The final battle has not yet begun. Who would dare provoke him?"

A terrifying figure appeared, his entire body covered in black-gold metal that radiated an aura capable of annihilating myriad daos. He gazed toward the distant horizon where a fearsome presence surged.

As the ninth-ranked genius on the Heavenly Gang Immortal Domain Pride List, he did not underestimate the tenth-ranked Lan Batian. He knew the Blue Light Immortal Clan was far more complicated than it appeared. Lan Batian's final form would give even him a headache.

Yet before the final battle had officially started, someone had already stirred up trouble with that difficult fatty.

"A good show is about to begin. How interesting. It seems a new variable has appeared on this Path to Heaven," said another voice from a space filled with golden light. A golden figure clapped its hands. The figure had no fixed shape—or rather, shape held no meaning for a being of its level.

It was Sal Chengdao of the Golden Heavenly God Clan, ranked third on the Heavenly Gang Immortal Domain Pride List.

The moment his applause ended, the surrounding rules and order twisted like flowing lines. In an instant, Sal Chengdao's golden light was sliced apart by black-and-white particles.

"Has Lan Fatty's battle piqued your interest enough to start the final battle early?"

Before Sal Chengdao appeared a humanoid silhouette. Its face was pitch black, with only a single bright circular light point resembling an eye that led to an unknown realm. Silvery-white hair hung around the silhouette, and everything in its vicinity shifted and changed. It was the number one on the Heavenly Gang Immortal Domain Pride List—the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord!

Because of Su Chen's interference, the final battle had arrived ahead of schedule.

Facing Lan Batian in his final evolved form, Su Chen had to admit that such immortal clan beings were overwhelmingly superior to ordinary humans. Even with the billions of years of accumulation from the place of immortality, only two or three individuals could match this Blue Light Immortal Clan genius in talent and combat strength.

And this being was merely the top genius of the Blue Light Immortal Clan in the past million years. How long was the true history of an immortal clan? On the Heavenly Gang Pride List, it only ranked tenth!

Su Chen destroyed one of Lan Batian's arms. Countless chains of wisdom shot out from the wheel behind his head and pierced through the creature. As Lan Batian screamed in agony, Su Chen analyzed the cultivation path of the Blue Light Immortal Clan behind him.

However, the moment he tried to fully convert Lan Batian, the being's body dissolved into nothingness.

Completely dissecting the cultivation path of an immortal clan was no easy task. Su Chen felt a twinge of regret. A being like this could have contributed more to the Great Wisdom Divine Cult than thousands upon thousands of human geniuses. Unfortunately, with a True Immortal standing behind the clan, he could not push too far. Attracting the early attention of a True Immortal would not be a good thing.

"What is that?"

Su Chen suddenly raised his head. He sensed an aura of absolute blackness and darkness—the likes of which he had never encountered in all his lifetimes combined. It swept through countless universes. The terrifying existence's aura approached that of an Emperor-level being in less than a million years.

Boom!

With an aura that silenced the myriad heavens, Su Chen felt the presences of powerful experts vanishing one after another. They were slain and devoured by the terrifying being, becoming nourishment for its body.

"That aura… is heading straight toward me!"

Su Chen sensed the pitch-black, all-encompassing darkness approaching him. The aura was so profound that it even tainted his Wheel of Supreme Wisdom with traces of darkness, dimming its light.

The moment the thought arose in Su Chen's mind, a faceless being appeared before him—nothing but infinite darkness. This darkness was unlike any other. It carried a perverse, reality-inverting will… a mad will known as the Great Freedom Dao.

In a single instant, Su Chen's figure was sent flying backward. Countless spaces turned to ash along with him.

In the Great Jing Heavenly Dynasty, Su Chen, who had been comprehending the thoughts of his believers across the myriad realms, suddenly opened his eyes. The strand of divine sense he had left inside Nan Hongsang had been severely wounded!

As the thought formed, a stream of consciousness returned to his mind.

"The Great Freedom Heaven…"

Su Chen now possessed all the memories of what had happened on the Path to Heaven. The strand of divine sense he had left in Nan Hongsang had been obliterated in an instant!

Yet Su Chen was not angry. A gleam of excitement flickered in his eyes. He had caught the scent of a kindred spirit.

The Wheel of Wisdom behind his head transformed into countless streams of light. In that very moment, new changes swept across the Path to Heaven.

The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord, who had been preparing to leave, extended pitch-black tentacles of absolute darkness, intending to devour the heavily injured and dimmed strand of Su Chen's will and merge it with himself.

Just as the darkness was about to touch Su Chen, his body suddenly changed. He vanished from before the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord, leaving behind only a rotating wheel of light.

This scene caused the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord to tilt his head in confusion.

In the next instant, the rotating wheel erupted with blazing radiance, directly disintegrating the pitch-black tentacle into nothingness.

Before the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord, the golden wheel transformed once more. It became a golden human silhouette without facial features, radiating supreme divinity. Golden veins pulsed across its body, resembling the ultimate "Heaven" itself.

The Great Wisdom Heaven.

The collision of the two auras annihilated countless spaces.

Outside the Path to Heaven, several indescribable figures gathered around a massive glass sphere. The scene inside the sphere showed endless universes connected by a winding path leading toward its final destination.

What those indescribable figures were observing within the sphere was precisely the clash between Su Chen and the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord.

"What is his origin…? Why can this immortal not deduce it? Could he be some old monster who sealed his own memories and reincarnated for mere amusement?"

"That Dao has never been seen in the Heavenly Gang Immortal Domain, yet it can contend evenly with the little fellow who has comprehended the Great Freedom Heaven."

"In just a million years, two beings who have reached the level of ‘embodying Heaven with their body' have appeared. Normally, producing even one such being in an entire epoch is already a miracle. Two in a single epoch… this has never happened since time immemorial."

"This is a good thing. The Great Dark Tribulation is approaching. One more ally means one more helper."

"The 108th epoch is almost here… The Land of Darkness will invade once more. Even we, who are undying and indestructible, will face the danger of annihilation."
