We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

"What else?"

Su Chen asked anxiously.

The sudden silence from Duan Tian Dao gave him a bad feeling.

"Oh no, Su Chen, I've suddenly lost contact with that senior!"

The man who had been speaking so animatedly just moments before suddenly screamed in panic.

"Lost contact? You mean I can no longer go to the Land of Extreme Yin?" Su Chen was also surprised upon hearing this.

After a brief moment of distraction, Duan Tiandao came to his senses and shook his head, saying, "I don't know either. When that senior left, he gave me a wisp of his primordial spirit, saying that I could contact him again if I wanted to go. But I just discovered that the wisp of primordial spirit seems to be disappearing. The senior once said that the disappearance of the primordial spirit means that I can no longer contact him. As for whether I can go to the Extreme Yin Land, I don't know."

"Contact them again to check the card," Su Chen said, frowning, sensing that something was wrong.

Duan Tiandao nodded and then began to make contact, but after a short while, he shook his head and said, "It's no use. I've tried to communicate with the senior many times, but I haven't received a response."

"Did something happen on his end?"

"Impossible. I've only been back for a short time. How could something have happened there? Besides, only you, senior, are in the Extreme Yin Land. What could possibly happen there?"

"Since the incident didn't occur in an extremely Yin place, it must be due to the Ten Directions World."

"What do you mean?" Broken Sky Blade asked.

Su Chen nodded solemnly: "That's right, someone has blocked your communication with the Extreme Yin Land."

"The Venerable Asura?"

"That's impossible!"

Both the man and the knife fell silent.

Several hours later, Su Chen and his group arrived at the Zhu Dynasty, where they found it was indeed under attack by the Heavenly Demons.

The entire imperial city of the Zhu dynasty was in a state of utter ruin, filled with rubble, remains, and corpses.

The air was filled with a strong, pungent smell of blood, so strong that even immortal energy was somewhat resistant to it.

Because the blood and qi not only contain the blood and qi of martial artists, but also the blood of demons, the two mixed together are very strange.

The closer you get to the palace, the more corpses you find, and the stronger the smell of blood becomes.

Upon seeing this, Su Chen and the others quickened their pace and headed towards the palace, intending to deal with any Heavenly Demons they encountered along the way.

Fortunately, this attack by the Heavenly Demons was more of a clash between top-tier combatants, so all the Heavenly Demons who came were powerful ones.

Their strength is generally at the Martial Immortal level, and they also fight against Martial Immortals.

The state of the imperial city was more a consequence of the aftermath of the battle than a result of actual massacre.

Not long after, Su Chen and the others arrived at the palace, only to find that the battle was already over.

"My benefactors, what brings you here?"

Zhu Yan, covered in blood, was taken aback when he saw Su Chen. Behind him were many other martial immortals, each bearing injuries.

However, there were even more corpses of Asura Kings; there were more than a dozen Asura King corpses on the ground.
Even in death, the corpses of these Asura Kings exuded a powerful aura that inspired awe.

Su Chen stepped forward and said, "We're here to support you."

"The Ziyang Sect was also attacked?" Zhu Yan immediately understood the implication in Su Chen's words.

Su Chen nodded: "Not only the Ziyang Sect, but also other cities, almost all of them have suffered a full-scale attack from the Asura."

"I see." Zhu Yan suddenly realized, then a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Although he successfully dealt with the Heavenly Demon, he suffered heavy losses, almost exhausting the Zhu Dynasty's tens of thousands of years of accumulated wealth.

"Emperor Zhu, the current situation is turbulent. Only by working together can we fight against the Heavenly Demon. Why don't you come with us to Ziyang City so that we can join forces to fight the enemy?"

At this moment, Wu Shang stepped forward and invited Zhu Yan and the other martial immortals to the Ziyang Sect to discuss important matters.

This was also Ji Ziyang's intention.

Zhu Yan glanced at Su Chen, pondered for a moment, and then agreed.

The demons came with overwhelming force, and their words alone were certainly not enough to stop them; this was the only option.

"Okay, please wait a moment, we still need to prepare for this."

After deciding to move, Zhu Yan quickly left to busy himself with the relocation.

Su Chen did not stay in the imperial city, but prepared to leave first. After bidding farewell to Zhu Yan and Wu Shang, he headed to Ziyang City.

Ever since Duan Tian Dao said he had lost contact with the Extreme Yin Land, he had a premonition that a catastrophe was about to befall him.

He had planned to go to the Land of Extreme Yin to improve his strength after resolving the turmoil caused by the Zhu Dynasty, but unexpectedly, Duan Tian Dao said that he had lost contact with the Land of Extreme Yin, which left him unsure of how to get there. So he decided to go back to the Zi Yang Sect to ask.

Within the Ziyang Sect.

"What? The extremely Yin land has been sealed off?"

Ji Ziyang was very happy to see Su Chen return, but before he could ask about the situation of the Zhu Dynasty, Su Chen brought back some shocking news. Upon hearing this, his brows furrowed and his expression became very solemn, as if a dark cloud had gathered around him.

“The extremely Yin land has been sealed off, and so has my Gu Master world. Is Venerable Shura planning to seal off the Ten Directions World in order to unleash a massacre?” Gu Xiaoyao sighed softly, immediately guessing Venerable Shura’s purpose.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen looked at Gu Xiaoyao in surprise. The latter said bitterly, "Brother Ji originally wanted me to take you away from the Ten Directions World, but before we could even take action, I lost contact with the Gu Master World. Now you are in the same situation."

Su Chen remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Ji Ziyang and asked, "Is there any other way to get to the Extreme Yin Land?"

His tone carried a hint of anxiety.

If what Gu Xiaoyao said is true, then the current Ten Directions World is a prison, a prison built by the Asura Venerable.

He wasn't refusing to act; rather, he planned to complete the construction of the prison before taking action.

Although Su Chen didn't know what the Asura Venerable was plotting, he knew that day wouldn't be too far off.

Once the Venerable Asura launches an attack, no one in the entire Ten Directions World will be able to defeat him, because no one is his match.

Even Su Chen was no exception; he might even die on the battlefield because of this.

This made Su Chen realize the serious sense of crisis.

As if death were imminent, he desperately wanted to increase his strength, not only to protect his family and friends, but more importantly, to protect himself.

To improve one's strength, one must rely on the extremely Yin land.

The problem now is that he doesn't know how to get to the extremely yin place.

"Yes!" Ji Ziyang nodded after a moment's thought. "The Broken Sky Blade said that there is a senior's primordial spirit. So, only by breaking through this blockade and allowing this wisp of primordial spirit to contact the senior and obtain the method from him can you leave."

"Let's get started now without further ado."

Su Chen thought for a moment, confirmed that the plan was feasible, and quickly said.

Ji Ziyang and Gu Xiaoyao exchanged a glance, looking at each other in confusion. Su Chen, knowing their concerns, said, "I need to enter the Extreme Yin Land to improve my strength."

Upon hearing this, the two looked surprised, but ultimately chose to believe Su Chen and agreed.

With little time to prepare, the two immediately took action, attempting to break through the barrier and contact the mysterious senior in the Extreme Yin Land through this wisp of primordial spirit. At the same time, Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao also made their move.

"Found it!" After an unknown amount of time, Ji Ziyang suddenly spoke up, "Brother Gu, let's work together."

"it is good!"

Gu Xiaoyao quickly responded.

Ji Ziyang then said to Su Chen, "Su Chen, time is fleeting, you must seize the opportunity."

"Yes!" Su Chen nodded solemnly.

Su Chen paid close attention, and with the combined efforts of Ji Ziyang and Gu Xiaoyao, a faint aura emanated from them.

"opened."

The moment the barrier broke, Duan Tian Dao immediately contacted his senior.

The elder's voice soon came: "Quickly follow my primordial spirit's guidance and leave the Ten Directions World, hurry!"

His voice was equally urgent. Because even in this extremely yin place, he had sensed the anomalies in the Ten Directions World.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately flew out without hesitation, following the guidance of his primordial spirit, and arrived at a spatial rift, where he prepared to enter.

"Oh no, it's Venerable Asura!"

However, at that moment, the spatial rift began to tremble violently, and upon seeing this, Duan Tian Dao immediately realized the reason.

He shouted and stepped forward, trying to stop the Asura Venerable from destroying the passage, while saying to Su Chen, "Su Chen, leave quickly."

"Get lost!" The Asura Venerable's icy voice, filled with killing intent, swept over the opponent, and his terrifying power crushed towards the Heaven-Severing Blade. At the same time, he did not forget to stop Su Chen.

"Run!" Su Chen tried to make a move, but was stopped by the Heaven-Severing Blade.

Hearing this, Su Chen gritted his teeth and finally left.

Although the Heaven-Severing Blade was not as powerful as Su Chen, it was enough to stop the Asura Venerable for a moment. It was with this brief moment that Su Chen successfully entered the spatial rift. In a daze, he didn't know how much time had passed. Su Chen felt that the world had been renewed and he had arrived in a world similar to the Land of Yin Souls.

"You've finally arrived," the mysterious voice said.

"Senior, thank you for your help," Su Chen said.

"No need." The mysterious person shook his head, not caring. "Do whatever you want here, as long as you don't return to the Ten Directions World."

"What do you mean by this, senior?" Su Chen asked, frowning.

"The moment you left, Venerable Asura emerged from seclusion. His emergence signifies..."

The mysterious person didn't continue speaking, but Su Chen understood that the other party was clearly preparing to attack the Ten Directions World.

Thinking of this, Su Chen's heart clenched. He left a simple message for the mysterious voice and then turned to cultivate.

time flies.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have merged into the land of ghosts and spirits, becoming a part of time and space.

His eyes shone brightly, as clear as sapphires.

As the aura circulates, boundless power rises and falls, arises and ceases, repeating endlessly—it is truly terrifying.

Countless laws swirled around him, complex and chaotic, as if he himself had become a law.

But no one could explain what law it had become; it was beyond description in any language.

Upon closer observation, an even more astonishing scene unfolds: these laws seem to be actively gravitating towards Su Chen.

As Su Chen moved, the laws followed him like a shadow, behaving with unparalleled obedience, leaving the mysterious man's gaze filled with astonishment.

"You've broken through?" The mysterious man could no longer contain his doubts and asked when he saw Su Chen awaken.

Su Chen chuckled lightly: "Yes, thank you, senior. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now. I look forward to meeting you again in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen transformed into a streak of light, using his hand as a blade to cut through space and disappear into the void.

The Ten Directions World.

Ancient Wilderness Mountains, Ziyang City.

Major battles broke out one after another.

Contrary to Su Chen and the others' expectations, without the Asura Venerable taking action, the Asura Kings alone were enough to defeat Ji Ziyang and the others.

After fighting for half a month, Ji Ziyang's side now has less than fifteen martial immortals left, and all of them are injured.

"You must be Su Chen's sword? Su Chen isn't making a move, but instead he's sending you? Where did this coward go?"

Bi Tianyu suppressed the Heaven-Slaying Blade with a casual strike and chuckled.

The Heaven-Slaying Blade struggled to break free, and upon hearing this, he angrily cursed, "Hmph, even a defeated general dares to be arrogant."

"court death!"

Like a rooster whose foot has been grabbed, Bi Tianyu couldn't help but fly into a rage upon hearing this, and began to torment the Broken Sky Blade to the extreme.

the other side.

The situation for Ji Ziyang, Gu Xiaoyao, Zhu Yan, and others was also not optimistic; they were all surrounded by the Asura King.

"Enough! Kill them all!"

Just as Bi Tianyu and the others were toying with Ji Ziyang and the others, a cold voice rang out, and the Asura Venerable spoke.

He sat high on a throne suspended in mid-air, like a supreme god, looking down upon the human world.

Every word and action carried an air of absolute authority, and everyone had to obey.

With those words, the battle finally came to an end. Everyone, including Luo Shiqiu and Bi Tianyu, no longer held back and prepared to eliminate Ji Ziyang and the others.

However, just as their offensive was about to land, time and space seemed to distort.

"what?"

Bi Tianyu and the others stared at the scene before them in surprise, their faces showing confusion.

Just then, a figure appeared out of thin air; it was Su Chen.

"Hahaha, Su Chen, I didn't expect you to dare to show up again. Perfect, I'll kill you first."

After a brief moment of distraction, Bi Tianyu laughed wildly. His hatred for Su Chen was beyond words; only killing him could wash it away.

Bang!
However, before he could make a move, Su Chen gently raised his hand, and Bi Tianyu's entire body exploded.

This scene instantly stunned everyone.

Luo Shiqiu stared in disbelief and cried out, "Tianyu..."

Bang!
Before the words had even faded, her fate was the same as Bi Tianyu's; she vanished with the wind, her body and soul extinguished.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Then, dozens more explosions rang out, and all the Asura Kings died in the blink of an eye.

"you……"

Upon seeing this, Venerable Asura looked at Su Chen with surprise.

Su Chen didn't speak, but instead struck down with a palm, the terrifying power causing the Asura Venerable to tremble all over.

"What kind of power is this, no..."

The Asura Venerable had not expected that Su Chen's strength was so formidable; he was no match for him at all.

In his terror, he tried his best to resist, but Su Chen's strength had already reached a level he could never reach in his lifetime, and he easily killed him.

After killing the Asura Venerable, Su Chen did not join the celebration. Instead, he took the Heaven-Severing Blade and headed to the Extreme Yin Land.

The mysterious figure from the extremely yin land seemed to have anticipated Su Chen's return and thus revealed his true form.

"Zu Peng?" Duan Tian Dao recognized the person's identity and was immediately shocked.

Zu Peng laughed loudly, "Haha, that's right, it's me, Su Chen, long time no see."

Su Chen was not surprised. He had long felt that the mysterious person was somewhat familiar, and this feeling intensified after his breakthrough.

Upon seeing Zu Peng, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

"This is a long story..." Zu Peng finished recounting the matter briefly, and before Su Chen could continue, he asked, "What do you plan to do next? The Ten Directions World cannot accommodate experts above the Martial Immortal realm, and strictly speaking, your realm is not considered to have broken through to the Martial Immortal realm, but is merely a spiritual realm point between the two realms. If you want to break through, you will probably need other opportunities."

“I will stay in the Ten Directions World for a while, and after I have settled things, I will leave the Ten Directions World with you,” Su Chen replied.

Zu Peng was delighted upon hearing this: "Great!"

After bidding farewell to Zu Peng, Su Chen returned to the Ten Directions World.

One hundred years later.

Su Chen found Zu Peng, and Zhu Yan followed him. The three of them left together, heading to the Xuanhuang World, which possessed countless laws… (End of this chapter)
