The clash between Dongfang Yunxing and Great Yang Emperor Lord had reached a level beyond comprehension. Within the Land of Immortality, they were nearly indistinguishable from true immortals.

Shockwaves from their battle destroyed one civilization after another.

As Dongfang Yunxing and Great Yang Emperor Lord were locked in a stalemate, their levels were so high that completely killing the other was extremely difficult unless some unforeseen variable occurred.

A variable capable of interfering in a battle of this level was almost nonexistent. But… the pearl that had been silent for so long began to stir.

Everything happened too suddenly.

Great Yang Emperor Lord had never imagined that there could be a third existence at their level in this world.

An aura similar to Dongfang Yunxing's, yet different.

Myriad Laws unified into one, the ultimate power of destruction. Even though Great Yang Emperor Lord immediately unleashed a great divine ability to scatter himself across countless time and space to avoid the strike, it was still too late.

That fist pierced through his chest.

His aura was cold and indifferent.

"It's you… You didn't die…"

In Great Yang Emperor Lord's mind, a figure he had thought long dead overlapped with the one before him.

Although their appearances were different.

"Master…"

A long-lost smile appeared on Dongfang Yunxing's face.

Su Chen's expression remained calm. Ever since the Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone, he had been alive and fully conscious, staying inside the Heaven's Mandate Pearl the entire time.

Using the hands of Di Chan, Chi Yao, and Qin Wujie, he had schemed against and killed the forces that had destroyed his family in this life and knew about the Heaven's Mandate Pearl. They became part of the many powerful Sovereigns who had been eliminated. No one knew it was all because of a single pearl, nor did anyone know of the Heaven's Mandate Pearl's existence.

To set up this grand scheme and wait for the Great Yang Emperor Lord to reveal himself, Su Chen had not left the Heaven's Mandate Pearl for nearly a hundred million years. No one knew he was still alive. Even when Chi Yao probed, he did not respond. Watching his old acquaintances feel sorrow, he still did not leave the pearl. This was a heaven-defying grand scheme spanning countless years, related to the secret of immortality.

For this, Su Chen had remained hidden inside the Heaven's Mandate Pearl. As Dongfang Yunxing killed more and more powerhouses, the pearl's energy grew stronger, and Su Chen's own strength became increasingly unfathomable along with it. Even after the Nirvana Great Tribulation, Su Chen had not emerged.

He believed the Great Yang Emperor Lord was not dead. After devouring all the immortal spirits of the End Times Immortal Domain, a Nirvana Great Tribulation could not kill him.

Only Dongfang Yunxing knew that Su Chen was still alive. He did not understand why his master had seemed to disappear after that one time, with no further messages. It was not until he saw Great Yang Emperor Lord that Dongfang Yunxing finally understood why his master had been gone for so long.

Su Chen looked at Great Yang Emperor Lord.

Great Yang Emperor Lord stared back at Su Chen in shock. He had clearly witnessed Su Chen scatter his Dao and die before his eyes. Why had he come back to life?

Great Yang Emperor Lord did not know the answer.

Su Chen had no interest in telling him.

The Myriad Laws Treasure Wheel spun in Su Chen's hand, transforming into a sword that could exterminate all Daos. Without giving Great Yang Emperor Lord any chance to breathe, it slashed toward him.

During the long years of seclusion, Su Chen had continuously perfected his own cultivation method. It had already surpassed his previous life. The Myriad Laws had fused into one supreme path, in no way inferior to Great Yang Emperor Lord's.

Dongfang Yunxing attacked alongside him.

Two powerhouses of the same level, not inferior to Great Yang Emperor Lord, were jointly besieging him alone.

The Land of Immortality had turned into ruins.

Knowing he was no match, Great Yang Emperor Lord used his last ounce of strength to attempt to escape the Land of Immortality.

No one knew how much time had passed. A flash of despair appeared in Great Yang Emperor Lord's eyes. No matter how far he went, he could not reach the end of the Land of Immortality, nor could he reach the Void Cosmic Sea.

"This place…"

Great Yang Emperor Lord realized he had returned to the Land of Immortality.

This scene filled him with despair.

"We can't escape… None of us can escape this place… It's all a lie. Everything is a lie. Becoming an immortal is a lie!"

Great Yang Emperor Lord suddenly laughed maniacally.

The Land of Immortality… without becoming an immortal, one could never leave. It was nothing more than a giant cage.

Great Yang Emperor Lord suddenly charged toward Dongfang Yunxing. That terrifying power pierced through the long river of time in the void.

Su Chen, wielding the Myriad Laws Immortal Sword, severed one of Great Yang Emperor Lord's arms. The blood that dripped annihilated vast stretches of ancient history.

No one knew how much time had passed. Only then did Great Yang Emperor Lord's aura gradually dissipate.

Su Chen looked at the pearl in his hand. Unlike the Heaven's Mandate Pearl, this one had been formed by refining Great Yang Emperor Lord. Strands of immortal spiritual qi were sealed within it. Great Yang Emperor Lord had wanted to use this immortal spiritual qi to prove the Dao and become a true immortal of the End Times Immortal Domain.

But for some unknown reason, he had failed.

Su Chen's main body transformed into the Heaven's Mandate Pearl and floated in the long river of time. Yet at this moment, the river of time appeared so dim.

Dongfang Yunxing had fallen into a deep sleep. In the battle against Great Yang Emperor Lord, he had been severely wounded. The two of them had fought in the long river of time and both suffered terrifying time punishment. While Great Yang Emperor Lord's Dao had perished, Dongfang Yunxing had also suffered backlash and was heavily injured.

Su Chen looked at the towering body floating above the long river of time. He did not intervene. Instead, he began to comprehend the secrets of the immortal spiritual qi left behind by Great Yang Emperor Lord.

No one knew how much time had passed. Even the flow of time in the void began to stagnate. A certain aura began to appear on Dongfang Yunxing's body. That aura seemed to be growing stronger.

"Finally succeeded?" Su Chen's eyes showed joy.

On Dongfang Yunxing's body, an indescribable characteristic began to emerge. Su Chen did not know where it came from, but he knew it was related to immortality—the secret of becoming an immortal.

The Heaven's Mandate Pearl trembled. A terrifying fluctuation emanated from it.

This time, Su Chen did not suppress it.

The Heaven's Mandate Pearl flew onto Dongfang Yunxing's body.

A look of pain appeared on Dongfang Yunxing's face, as if he was struggling.

"Immortality… immortality…"

Su Chen's eyes were calm.

The Heaven's Mandate Pearl had been refined by a true immortal.

How could a being of that level be so simple?

Inside the Heaven's Mandate Pearl, there was a strand of characteristic. With Su Chen's existence, it had perfectly suppressed that true immortal's strand of characteristic. That was why Dongfang Yunxing had never discovered it.

After living one life after another, Su Chen understood.

A true immortal who had touched upon a great secret had died unexpectedly and wanted to use the immortal domain of the Void Cosmic Sea to live a second life as a true immortal.

Upon sensing the true immortal's characteristics, Su Chen had chosen to push things along all for this very moment!
