Chapter 63
“Number Twenty has only recently ascended to the Saint King realm, but he cultivates the Killing Heaven Emperor Sutra. Although it’s just a fragment, his combat strength is formidable enough to kill a Fourfold Heaven expert. When he was still in the Saint realm, he once clashed with a powerhouse from the Quasi-True Saint Ranking. Although he was defeated, he managed to retreat unscathed.”
“With his strength, combined with the other powerful individuals from various forces, there should be a high probability of eliminating the Ninth Princess!”
Watching the departing blood-clad figure, the white-haired youth’s gaze deepened as he murmured to himself.
The True Saint Ranking.
This was a list compiled by the Heavenly Dao Sacred Hall, encompassing the entire Eternal Heavenly Realm, specifically recording the most powerful individuals in the Saint realm. Only those who reached the corresponding level of combat strength could make it onto the list.
Each ranking was limited, with only a few hundred spots.
Although Number Twenty only clashed once with a powerhouse from the Quasi-True Saint Ranking, and that was when he was still in the Saint realm, it was enough to demonstrate his terrifying combat strength, surpassing that of ordinary powerhouses.
Myriad Spirits Continent.
In a grand palace, a figure emerged. It was a man, tall and imposing, with crimson horns and a pair of red eyes that gleamed with cruelty.
In front of him, a young man in a black robe knelt on one knee, his expression respectful. He had black horns, and his entire being exuded the terrifying aura of a Saint King.
“Black Horn, this time, the strong individuals from the Demon Palace in the True Saint Continent will be under your command. The Palace Master’s order is singular: to kill this woman with all your might!”
The red-horned man spoke indifferently, raising his finger to transmit the information about the Ninth Princess to the young man with black horns.
“Yes, Lord Chizun!”
The young man with black horns responded respectfully.
“By the way, make a trip to the Tianyu Sect and bring back their Holy Maiden. I have a use for her.”
At this moment, the red-horned man raised an eyebrow, as if he had just remembered something, and waved his hand.
“Remember, you must bring her back. Eliminate anyone who dares to obstruct you!”
“Yes!”
The young man with black horns respectfully withdrew.
“Hunting the Ninth Princess? The merit of following such a dragon is indeed tempting, but the danger is immense. A single misstep could lead to a shattered body and bones!” After the young man with black horns withdrew, the red-horned man murmured to himself.
Even with his strength, knowing the Palace Master’s plan made his heart race and sent chills down his spine.
“No, once I break through to the Great Saint realm, I must find an opportunity to leave the Demon Palace. No matter how tempting the merit of following such a dragon is, it is not worth more than my life!”
The red-horned man thought to himself.
The Eternal Imperial Family was an immensely terrifying force. Even if it was just a group of imperial sons and daughters vying for power, it was not something a mere half-step Great Saint like him could meddle in.
He did not want to die!
“The Holy Maiden of the Tianyu Sect’s source power should be enough to help me become a Great Saint!”
The red-horned man murmured to himself.
Northern Profound Continent, Heavenly Demon Hall.
Amidst an expanse of towering peaks, golden divine light surged, with divine fire burning within, exuding a terrifying aura as if a supreme God King stood there.
“Go, kill the Ninth Princess, and you will be the next Hall Master of the Heavenly Demon Hall!”
A grand voice echoed.
Below, a blond-haired youth with a stern expression stood up and then departed.
……
Wanxiang City, Su Family!
In a courtyard, Su Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, while Su Ziyuan and others sat at a stone table not far away, their gazes gentle and faces adorned with smiles.
They were chatting and laughing with each other.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
In the distance, a small figure dressed in white was running while carrying a boulder the size of a small mountain. Although the figure appeared to be only two or three years old, the commotion they caused was earth-shattering.
With each step, the ground trembled.
“Not bad!”
Su Changsheng’s gaze was gentle, filled with affection as he looked at the small figure.
That was his daughter, Su Changge.
Although she was born a Saint, she was still very young and unable to fully control such immense power.
To help his daughter master her power, Su Changsheng guided her, having her start from the Flesh Body Realm, using various combat techniques until she achieved perfect control.
In fact, Su Changge’s performance was indeed astonishing. In just half a year, she had progressed from zero to mastering the Dharma Phase Realm.
It could be said that she was now a Dharma Phase Realm cultivator—a half-year-old Dharma Phase Realm powerhouse.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, Su Changge let out a booming sound as she threw away the boulder the size of a small mountain. She then charged forward like an ancient fierce beast, causing the ground to tremble.
“Honored Father!”
Su Changge rushed straight to Su Changsheng, leaping into his arms. Her delicate and adorable face was filled with affection.
Although she was only half a year old, Su Changge already looked like a three-year-old child. She had two pigtails tied up high, wore a white martial outfit, and her small, soft body was extremely cute, with skin as white and tender as jade.
Her entire body was surrounded by a faint celestial glow, resembling a young immortal.
“Changge, you’ve worked hard!”
Su Changsheng smiled as he rubbed her little head.
“Honored Father, it’s not hard!” Su Changge murmured, her face full of affection as she nuzzled against his firm chest.
“Changge, come and rest after your training. Don’t cling to your father all the time!”
At this moment, a cold voice echoed, causing Su Changge to shiver. She couldn’t help but pout as she obediently got down from Su Changsheng.
“Remember, your father won’t always be with you. You need to be independent, strong, and have the perseverance to endure loneliness and hardship. Otherwise, no matter how astonishing your talent is, it will be difficult to reach the pinnacle, and your potential will be limited!”
By the stone table, Gu Qingge sat leisurely, her face delicate and cold, looking at Su Changge with a faint gaze and a tone of admonishment.
Perhaps because Su Changge’s talent was so exceptional, Gu Qingge valued her greatly and was very strict with her.
This also made Su Changge quite afraid of her.
“Yes, Honored Mother!”
Su Changge pouted, her face full of reluctance, as she obediently sat down to the side.
Seeing this, Bai Yuege, Su Ziyuan, and the others couldn’t help but feel a bit sympathetic. Although Su Changge’s talent was indeed exceptional, she was still just a child.
“Qingge, Changge is still young. There’s no need to be so strict!” Su Changsheng said helplessly.
“You don’t understand!”
Gu Qingge shook her head solemnly, her gaze deep as if she were looking into the future.
“If we don’t work hard now, in the future… everything will perish, even immortals… will die…”
“If we don’t strive now, we will only regret it later!”
How powerful could she become in the future?
Not only would she become a Great Emperor, but an invincible Great Emperor approaching the realm of immortality.
Given more time, becoming an immortal would be effortless for her.
Yet, she still perished in that great calamity of the future. Before her fall, she even witnessed blood-stained immortal corpses descending from the heavens.
Those were immortals falling.
Without a doubt, it was an extremely terrifying future, where even true immortals would die.
Su Changge’s talent was indeed extraordinary, but without hard work and diligence, she might not be able to survive that great calamity.
“…Don’t worry, I will handle everything!”
Seeing Gu Qingge remain silent, Su Changsheng’s heart stirred. He remembered that she was a reincarnator and vaguely guessed some things, so he spoke gently.
“Mm!”
Gu Qingge nodded lightly.
“Patriarch, the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance’s auction will begin in three days, and they have sent you an invitation!”
Just as Su Changsheng was about to say something, a female elder walked in and reported.
“I understand. You may leave.”
Su Changsheng stopped the words he was about to say and then nodded.
The Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance’s auction was indeed something he needed to attend, as he needed to purchase some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to awaken the ancient Heavenly Emperor’s consort.
After that, Su Changsheng spent two more days in affectionate company with Gu Qingge and the other women, and then took a day to play and spend time with Su Changge.
On the third day, just before the auction was about to begin, Su Changsheng set off for the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance’s auction.
“Tianyu Sect!”
Far away, at the main headquarters of the Tianyu Sect, a young man with black horns appeared, his gaze fixed on this top-tier sect as he murmured to himself.
“It seems this is the place!”
