Primordial Demon Lord! He had lived inside the Bronze Immortal Palace for countless millions of years. He was undoubtedly an ancient relic from a bygone era.

Su Chen's eyes turned icy. "Where is the Book of Death, one of the Nine Innate Supreme Treasures and the secret of the Bronze Immortal Palace?"

Primordial Demon Lord smiled with interest. "An Emperor-level combatant at the supreme level… I didn't expect someone like you to appear in this later era besides that God Emperor fellow.

"The Book of Death shattered long ago and was divided into four pieces. I happen to hold one of the fragments."

A pattern appeared in the Primordial Demon Lord's palm, and ancient characters emerged. The aura was identical to that of the Innate Demonic Pattern Su Chen already possessed.

It was a fragment of the Book of Death—one quarter of one of the legendary Nine Innate Supreme Treasures.

"You want it? It seems you already have a similar fragment!" Primordial Demon Lord noticed the change in Su Chen and suddenly burst into laughter. "Looks like my luck is excellent. Not only will I enjoy a fine meal today, but I'll also obtain another page of the Book of Death!"

This supreme Emperor who called himself Primordial Demon Lord actually viewed Su Chen as food.

Facing this supreme Emperor who might predate even the ancient era, Su Chen showed no fear.

Primordial Demon Lord threw a punch. He called himself the Primordial Demon Lord and even knew of the God Emperor. He was likely one of the masterminds behind the destruction of the ancient era. His strength was unquestionable. Despite being sealed for millions upon millions of years, he had not died and had survived until now through heaven-defying means.

The clash between two supreme experts shattered the entire Ancient Tomb Forbidden Zone. The shockwaves swept across the starry sky and terrified all races. Even the Supremes hiding in the forbidden zones trembled. The auras were so terrifying that they feared the two supreme beings would destroy the entire universe and cause the extinction of all life.

"God Emperor, what are you waiting for?" Su Chen roared as he fought his way toward the Ancient God Forbidden Zone. The starry sky suddenly transformed into a cage as countless rays of divine light shone. A supremely sacred figure descended.

The God Emperor—the God Emperor, the strongest existence of the ancient era—was still alive!

Supremes trembled across the starry sky. The ancient Supremes hidden in the forbidden zones fell completely silent.

"The God Emperor… the master of the God Court… he's still alive? Didn't he die in that war?"

"That figure… he is the one who caused the destruction of the ancient era."

The identity of the being fighting Su Chen was recognized.

Those ancient existences who had lived through the transition of the ancient era shivered in terror and wished they could hide themselves completely.

The fall of the ancient era had been caused by a great war. One of the masterminds behind that war was the Primordial Demon Lord. He had annihilated the God Court and killed countless Great Emperors with his own hands. After the war ended, the survivors severed themselves and fled into the forbidden zones. One man had single-handedly destroyed a flourishing era.

"The one fighting him is the first Emperor of the Emperor Dao Era—the Undying Nether Emperor. He didn't actually die…"

The Undying Nether Emperor, Primordial Demon Lord, and the God Emperor—the three most powerful supreme Emperors since the Mythological Era—had gathered together.

The God Emperor was somewhat surprised. He had watched this black crow grow step by step into the Undying Nether Emperor and knew he had not died, but he had not expected Su Chen to know his whereabouts.

He had originally planned to wait until the Undying Nether Emperor and Primordial Demon Lord severely wounded each other. Now that Su Chen had exposed his location, he knew he could no longer stay out of the fight.

"Let's join forces and eliminate the Demon Lord," the God Emperor said simply.

Su Chen nodded. This was his goal. Teaming up with the God Emperor to kill the Primordial Demon Lord was far better than letting two old schemers join hands to kill him first.

The three supreme Emperors fought fiercely. Forbidden zones were leveled. Even the current Great Emperors became nothing more than nourishment. The three beings battled from the universe into the Sea of Chaos. Primordial Demon Lord was heavily wounded. Without hesitation, the God Emperor suddenly turned and attacked Su Chen, intending to severely injure him as well.

Fortunately, Su Chen had anticipated this and blocked the God Emperor's strike.

"God Emperor, what are you doing?" Su Chen asked coldly.

"In this universe, only one person is qualified to achieve transcendence," the God Emperor declared, revealing his true motive.

Primordial Demon Lord seized the opportunity and attacked together with the God Emperor, aiming to quickly eliminate Su Chen.

Su Chen was heavily wounded, but he joined forces with the Primordial Demon Lord to severely injure the God Emperor in return.

The Sea of Chaos was shattered by their battle and turned into ruins—a place even more terrifying than the forbidden zones.

No one knew the final outcome of that war. After it ended, Su Chen, the God Emperor, and Primordial Demon Lord never appeared again.

Millions of years passed in the blink of an eye.

That great battle was only briefly recorded in a few historical texts. Over the long span of millions of years, the Sea of Chaos had become a far more dangerous place than any forbidden zone. Even the great emperors who ventured into it had perished.

Later generations offered many speculations. Some believed the three supreme experts had shattered the walls of the universe during their battle and successfully transcended. Others guessed that the three supreme powerhouses had perished together deep within the Sea of Chaos.

Opinions varied.

Deep within the Sea of Chaos, one thing was certain: not everyone had died in that battle.

Among the three supreme experts, only the Primordial Demon Lord had perished. Su Chen had seized his physical body, while the God Emperor had schemed to obtain his fragment of the Book of Death.

Su Chen had been gravely injured in the battle and was forced into Nirvana. The Emperors, the Supremes, and powerhouses who later explored the Sea of Chaos all became his nourishment.

...

Countless more years passed.

"This universe is truly weak," a figure declared as he suppressed countless prodigies of the era.

The arrogant figure radiated an immortal aura that seemed out of place with the surrounding world. His name was Zhao Wuhen. He was not native to this universe but had descended through special means. His goal was to attain the Dao in this universe, become the greatest Emperor of all time, and use the universe itself as a foundation to ascend to immortality.

To his disappointment, the prodigies of this world were far too mediocre. In his eyes, none of them deserved to be called prodigies. Their so-called talent was no different from trash. After so many eras, the cultivation system had shown no progress at all.

Zhao Wuhen found the entire affair incredibly boring. He stepped into the final stage of becoming Emperor with ease. The Emperor tribulations of the past and present could not hinder him. He casually passed the seven-layered Emperor tribulation. All living beings in the universe submitted at his feet.
