Chapter 285

This was only Su Chen using pure physical strength.

Jie Lie's divine ability was shattered, his pupils shrinking as if he had seen something incredible.

And the moment Su Chen shattered his divine ability, he had already pressed forward.

He closed in on the stunned Jie Lie, his other hand already swung out.

Another punch.

There were no flashy moves; the wind of the punch was fierce, crashing into Jie Lie's chest with a boom.

Jie Lie's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, smashing a trench dozens of zhang long into the ground, with mud and gravel splashing everywhere.

He lay at the end of the trench, his chest armor shattered, demon blood overflowing from his mouth, his body uncontrollably reverting to its original form.

A dark green giant snake curled up in the gravel, its whole body trembling.

From the start of the attack to the end, it took no more than two breaths.

The surroundings fell silent.

The seven or eight demon cultivators behind Jie Lie stood frozen on the spot, looking at Jie Lie, who had revealed his original form in the trench, unable to say a single word.

Jiu Tou Chong was also stunned for a moment.

He knew Su Chen was strong; the confrontation at the banquet let him know whether Su Chen was someone to be trifled with.

But he hadn't expected Su Chen's physical body to be strong to this extent.

Pure physical strength, without using any laws, knocking down a Tai Yi Jin Xian in two moves.

What kind of concept was this?

'This physical body is likely already at the level of the ancient Wu Clan.'

In the trench, Jie Lie struggled to lift his snake head, his vertical pupils full of unwillingness and terror.

"You..."

Su Chen withdrew his fist and glanced at him.

"With only this bit of strength, you have the nerve to come out and shout."

Provoked by Su Chen's words, Jie Lie was about to channel his true form to fight again.

But before he could make a move,

Waves of demon aura surged from all directions, and in less than a moment, dozens of demon cultivators gathered around Su Chen and Jiu Tou Chong.

Among them were many powerhouses at the Tai Yi Jin Xian realm.

"What's going on?"

"Jie Lie was beaten?"

"Who is that human? Who let him in?"

Noisy voices rose one after another, and dozens of hostile gazes locked onto Su Chen.

Several Tai Yi Jin Xian had already released their demon aura, faintly forming a surrounding posture.

Seeing the situation escalating, Jiu Tou Chong stepped forward, about to speak and bring out Bai Ze's name.

But before he could speak, an aura erupted from Su Chen's body.

That aura was divided into two strands.

One was the law of the End Dao; all things have an end, and all laws return to silence.

That was a Dao law transcending the Five Elements, carrying a sense of ending that made one feel despair from the depths of their soul.

The other was the law of the Destruction Dao; heaven and earth shatter, all things turn into nothingness, tyrannical, violent, and unstoppable.

Both Dao laws erupted simultaneously, intertwining and covering a radius of several hundred zhang.

Su Chen let out a cold snort.

This cold snort was wrapped in the power of laws, like an invisible heavy blow; those demon cultivators below the Jin Dan realm felt the aura of these two Dao laws and immediately turned pale.

Those few Tai Yi Jin Xian had their expressions change drastically; the demon aura they had just released was crushed to pieces by the laws of ending and destruction, and they staggered backward one by one.

The crowd of demons, who had been aggressive just a moment ago, were now silent.

Dozens of demon cultivators, not one dared to move.

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping calmly over the demons present.

"I came at the invitation of Bai Ze. Is this the hospitality of your Demon Emperor? It truly damages the face of the Demon Court of the past."

His voice was not loud, but it fell clearly into the ears of all the descendants of the Demon Court present.

"You..."

When those descendants of the Demon Court heard Su Chen mention the Demon Court, how could they endure it? They were about to speak up and retort.

Just at this moment, a voice came from the island, carrying unquestionable majesty.

"Enough, is it not embarrassing enough?"

This voice seemed to be scolding the demons, but it dissolved the power of the laws of the End and Destruction Daos that Su Chen had used to cover the entire scene into nothingness.

Su Chen's brows furrowed slightly; as he was now, the gap between him and a Semi-Sage was indeed too large.

Bai Ze, far away in the palace on the island, had effortlessly dissolved his two great Dao laws into nothingness.

The demon cultivators around heard that scolding, and their reaction was even greater than Su Chen's.

One by one, they became as silent as cicadas in winter, and the demon aura that had been surging just now instantly retracted completely.

Even Jie Lie, who had revealed his original form in the trench, desperately changed back into human form, keeping his head down and not daring to breathe.

"Senior Bai Ze." Jiu Tou Chong was the first to bow and salute, facing the direction the voice came from.

At the end of the mountain path, a strange beast walked over, shaped like a horse, born with dragon scales, a single horn on its forehead, and a body covered in white hair.

Those two distinct, all-white pupils were extremely eye-catching.

The moment Su Chen met its gaze, he felt uncomfortable all over.

In those white eyes, it seemed that the trajectory of the operation of all things in heaven and earth was hidden.

"Demon Saint Bai Ze." Su Chen recited this name silently in his heart.

Knowing astronomy above, geography below, understanding the affairs of ghosts and gods, and mastering the feelings of all things.

The head of the ten great Demon Saints of the Demon Court, not famous for martial force, but relying on that insight into everything and unparalleled wisdom, became the most relied-upon arm of Demon Emperor Di Jun.

Bai Ze walked up close, his gaze sweeping over the demons present.

"Disperse."

Hearing these two words, the demons felt as if they had been granted amnesty and retreated one after another.

Jie Lie clutched his chest, supported by two companions, and disappeared into the forest in a dejected manner.

Bai Ze's gaze looked at Su Chen again.

On his calm face, a trace of irrepressible surprise emerged.

Because even with Su Chen in front of him, he actually could not calculate any information about Su Chen.

But he quickly returned to calm and nodded slightly to Su Chen.

"Fellow Daoist Su Chen, please follow me."

He turned and walked toward the depths of the mountain path, his steps neither hurried nor slow.

Su Chen followed, and Jiu Tou Chong also stepped forward to follow, but Bai Ze threw back a sentence without looking back.

"Jiu Tou, you go and rest."

Jiu Tou Chong's footsteps paused, his mouth opened, but in the end, he stopped honestly, watching Su Chen follow Bai Ze's back as they disappeared into the depths of the mountain forest.

Jiu Tou Chong, standing in place, scratched his head and muttered: "At least tell me what exactly was said in that jade slip..."

Su Chen followed Bai Ze to the Demon Saint Palace.

When Su Chen entered the palace, he saw the mural on the wall inside at a glance.

It was a dilapidated mural depicting the scene of the ancient Demon Court at its peak—the Demon Emperor sitting high above the nine heavens, the ten great Demon Saints lined up on both sides, and ten thousand demons paying homage.

The face of the Demon Emperor in the painting was already blurred, but one could vaguely feel his aura of looking down upon the world.

Bai Ze walked into the palace, transformed into human form, sat down behind a stone desk, and raised his hand to signal Su Chen to take a seat.
