Chapter 153: The Eldest Senior Brother of Falling Emperor Mountain (18) |
Crimson Peak Star Domain.
A deathly silence fell.
The damaged Emperor Array collapsed.
In an instant, the vast star domain—with its billions of stars and countless trillions of living beings—vanished from the universe along with a single brilliant sword light.
Su Chen walked out of the Crimson Peak Star Domain and stood upon the sea of stars. His clothes were torn and tattered, and the bloody wounds on his body revealed glimpses of stark white bone. The brutal battle appeared to have left him gravely injured. Yet even in this heavily wounded state, no one dared to harbor any ill intentions toward him.
One man had single-handedly annihilated an entire star domain... He was nothing short of a peerless fiend.
Only after the Crimson Peak Star Domain had completely vanished did Su Chen turn and return to the Azure Nether Dao Domain. Because of his injuries, he immediately went into seclusion.
....
Inside Falling Emperor Mountain.
Within the lamp, countless remnant souls howled in anguish. An entire star domain and trillions upon trillions of living beings had been wiped out by his hand.
Su Chen could feel that the vital energy within his body had never been so abundant. His wounds healed at an astonishing speed, with new flesh rapidly growing over the injuries.
"If I entered the Ancient Tomb Forbidden Zone now, I could probably explore even deeper areas. Living for another thousand years would be no problem at all," Su Chen thought to himself.
However, he had no intention of entering the Ancient Tomb Forbidden Zone again anytime soon. Even without encountering an Emperor corpse, running into just two more Quasi-Emperor corpses would be more than enough trouble for him.
The conflict between the Azure Nether Dao Domain and the Black Nether Demon Domain continued. Yet it maintained a delicate balance.
Su Chen knew that the two great worlds had reached an agreement. They were constantly consuming cultivators to keep the two domains in equilibrium, allowing the great powers of the Dao lineages to accumulate more origin energy for their next breakthrough.
Fang Bubai had grown even stronger. The origin energy of the entire universe continuously converged toward him.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Chen and Lin Wantang finally welcomed their first child.
The child possessed Lin Wantang's Azure Wood Divine Body and Su Chen's Innate Supreme Sword Body. He had blue eyes and black pupils.
Su Chen looked at the crying little fellow in his arms.
"Let's call him Nangong Changsheng," he said.
Lin Wantang replied, "He should take my surname. Call him Lin Changsheng."
Su Chen thought for a moment and said softly, "Then Lin Changsheng it is."
Lin Wantang was stunned by Su Chen's smile.
This cold, indifferent man who seemed to care about nothing had actually chosen to yield at this moment.
After a brief hesitation, Lin Wantang said, "How about we call him Nangong Changsheng instead?"
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Su Chen shook his head and refused. The little fellow seemed to understand what they were saying. He looked back and forth between Su Chen and Lin Wantang.
At that moment, the hall outside was filled with people. There was also a small loach.
The powerhouses of the Nangong Clan and the Lin Family all gazed at the little fellow in Su Chen's arms with eyes full of affection.
"Possessing the long lifespan of the Azure Wood Divine Body and the domineering power of the Innate Supreme Sword Body… If this little guy grows up, he will likely become another Young Emperor. Even in a great era, he would be qualified to compete for the Emperor position!"
After thousands of years of planning, they had finally produced an unrivaled physique.
Long Qiu flew over and coiled himself around Lin Changsheng's head.
The boy and the dragon curiously examined each other.
Soon, news that an unparalleled genius had appeared on Falling Emperor Mountain spread rapidly throughout the Azure Nether Dao Domain.
Countless orthodoxies came to offer their congratulations. Everyone envied the newborn child. His father was the number one expert in the Azure Nether Dao Domain. His mother was the number one beauty of the Azure Nether Dao Domain. Behind him stood four supreme orthodoxies: the Nangong Family, the Lin Family, Falling Emperor Mountain, and the Purple Firmament Dao Sect. It would not be an exaggeration to call him the crown prince of the Azure Nether Dao Domain.
Six years later.
Beside a thatched cottage at the foot of a mountain.
A delicate and exquisite little boy, no more than five or six years old, squatted by a stream. His jet-black hair was tied casually, and his large, watery eyes stared intently at the water's surface. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed a colorful spirit fish the size of an arm.
"Little fish, little fish, don't run away. If you run, I won't have dinner tonight!"
The seven-colored spirit fish's eyes filled with terror. Yet it could not break free, no matter how hard it struggled.
The boy carried the spirit fish back to the cottage on his back.
"Daddy, Mommy, look what I caught!"
Su Chen and Lin Wantang turned around. When they saw the seven-colored spirit fish on Lin Changsheng's back, they exchanged a smile. They roasted the spirit fish and enjoyed a hearty meal.
What countless people outside desperately sought after as a precious spirit beast was nothing more than an ordinary meal here.
Late at night, after Lin Changsheng had fallen asleep.
Su Chen and Lin Wantang walked outside the mountain.
"Husband, when do you plan to let Changsheng go out into the world for training?" Lin Wantang asked.
Su Chen replied, "He is still too young. It would be too dangerous for him to train outside right now."
Lin Wantang gave Su Chen a resentful look.
"How can you, as his father, hide his true background and our identities from him and let him grow up alone?"
Su Chen's expression remained unchanged. "This is called tempering the heart in the mortal world."
Lin Wantang continued, "Are you planning to leave again in a few days?"
Su Chen nodded. "That little loach has been clamoring for a female dragon every day for a thousand years now."
Lin Wantang smiled and said, "Lin Yu went to the Myriad Dragon Nest three times to catch a dragon, but he said he never saw any female dragon."
Su Chen sneered, "That's because he couldn't defeat the dragons in the Myriad Dragon Nest and nearly got chased down by an Ancestral King."
Lin Wantang's eyes sparkled as she looked at him. "Husband, you also want Changsheng to have a companion, don't you?"
Having his thoughts seen through, Su Chen remained calm and composed.
One month later.
Inside the Myriad Dragon Nest.
"Nangong Chen, you bastard! What are you doing in my Myriad Dragon Nest?"
The beings inside the Myriad Dragon Nest were extremely wary of Su Chen's arrival.
Behind Su Chen, billions of star rivers revolved and condensed into a heaven-shaking divine sword that floated in the air. The terrifying killing power it emitted seemed capable of flattening the entire Myriad Dragon Nest with a single strike.
"Nangong Chen, let's talk this over peacefully. A gentleman uses his words, not his fists."
A black dragon flew out from the Myriad Dragon Nest, its aura surging like a tide. It was the current Dragon Emperor, a Great Saint realm expert.
Su Chen said indifferently, "Hand over a pure-blooded female dragon, and I will leave the Myriad Dragon Nest. Otherwise, I will take one myself."
The Dragon Emperor's expression changed drastically. Pure-blooded dragons were already extremely rare in the Myriad Dragon Nest, let alone a female one.
"I'll count to three."
The Dragon Emperor compromised.
Soon after, a pink holy dragon was brought out.
Su Chen took her back to Falling Emperor Mountain.
Inside Falling Emperor Mountain.
Long Qiu looked at the little female dragon with great satisfaction.
Su Chen said, "Thirty years. If you can't produce a baby dragon by then, I will send her back to the Myriad Dragon Nest."
Long Qiu: "What?"
Thus began the thirty-year dragon-breeding plan.
After settling this matter, Su Chen did not stay long on Falling Emperor Mountain. He stood on the edge of a cliff, watching the carefree Lin Changsheng.
With the Longevity Supreme Body, Lin Changsheng's future achievements were destined to be extraordinary.
Yet Su Chen was not satisfied with that. The heavens had their own fate. And he, Su Chen, with twelve lifetimes behind him. He had to challenge the heavens at least once!
