Su Chen arrived near the Emperor's Tomb.
Countless geniuses surrounded the area, yet none dared to take a single step forward. They looked at the white-robed monk sitting cross-legged in front of the tomb with unparalleled fear in their eyes.
The white-robed monk's aura was world-shaking. With every breath, a golden body millions of feet tall manifested, suppressing the starry river. He was a monstrous genius at the Saint King realm!
"You were waiting for me?"
Su Chen's words were unquestionable, breaking the silence of the starry skies. Countless beings turned to look. Someone recognized Su Chen and exclaimed in shock, "That's the Ye Clan's Emperor Son… the monster hailed as the one who should have attained the Dao in this era, yet cursed by a mysterious existence with the Soul Extinguishing Curse. He cannot possibly live past a hundred years!"
Su Chen: "..."
No one believed anymore that Su Chen could survive another hundred years.
However, the white-robed monk said, "You are the Ye Clan's Emperor Son? If so, then this king was indeed waiting for you."
Su Chen raised his head and saw a terrifying killing intent blooming in the monk's eyes.
"So it's someone from the Heavenly Palace!"
Su Chen recognized the Heavenly Palace emblem in the monk's eyes. On the Emperor Path, the Heavenly Palace was undoubtedly one of the top major forces, and now their target was him.
The white-robed monk's words confirmed Su Chen's suspicions.
"The Grand Priest said you must be killed. I do not believe you can survive the Soul Extinguishing Curse for a hundred years, but this is an order from the Grand Priest. No one can disobey!"
The white-robed monk stood with his hands behind his back, like a supreme deity ruling over all living beings, delivering the final countdown to Su Chen's life.
This scene enraged Su Chen's followers. Ji Changkong immediately volunteered, "Let me go tear him apart!"
Su Chen shook his head.
"You are not his opponent. None of you are."
Although Ji Changkong possessed the Holy Spirit body and unmatched combat strength, he had not yet stepped into that forbidden domain. The gap between a Saint and a Saint King was already enormous, not to mention that the white-robed monk was no ordinary Saint King.
Su Chen rose into the air and walked out of the warship. Boundless immortal light surged from his body as the power of the Flying Immortal Dao Body manifested for the first time. It was as if he was shuttling through the gaps of time. In just a single blink, Su Chen had already crossed ten thousand miles.
Su Chen stood before the white-robed monk and said calmly, "The Heavenly Palace's Grand Priest truly possesses the ability to foresee the future. However… he should never have sent you."
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Su Chen also had some understanding of the Heavenly Palace. The Grand Priest could briefly foresee the future, though the price was enormous… This was an extremely dangerous figure. He had likely foreseen that Su Chen would not die and had specifically sent a Saint King-level monster to lie in wait here, intending to completely strangle him.
The white-robed monk's pupils suddenly contracted. Before his eyes could even close, Su Chen was already standing in front of him. There was no trace of panic on Su Chen's face, only the bearing of a supreme immortal.
The white-robed monk could not help but ask, "Why?"
Su Chen made his move. His speed was beyond comprehension. Before his words even reached the white-robed monk's ears, the monk felt a sharp pain in his chest. Only then did Su Chen's voice arrive: "Because… you are simply too weak."
A beating heart appeared in Su Chen's hand. Buddhist runes and scriptures flowed endlessly around it, dripping with golden blood.
A gaping hole had appeared in the white-robed monk's chest. He could hardly believe it. In a single instant, his heart had been plucked out. At this moment, only one thought remained in the white-robed monk's mind.
"Escape!"
The Grand Priest had doomed him! What kind of monster was this? In a single exchange, he had been heavily injured!
Su Chen watched the white-robed monk's fleeing back, casually took out a Saint Sword, and gently slashed toward him.
A sword light split the starry sea in two. Accompanied by a miserable scream, what chilled the surrounding beings to the bone was that a powerful Saint King who had suppressed the starry sea and tried to monopolize the Great Emperor's opportunities had died just like that!
At the same moment, a terrifying Extreme Dao aura suddenly erupted from within the originally sealed Great Emperor Tomb. Immediately afterward, a blurry object flew out.
An Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!
The Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon of a former Great Emperor had actually fallen into Su Chen's hands. Clearly, it had acknowledged him and wished to pass on the Great Emperor's inheritance to him!
Everyone was numb.
"Will the Ye Clan's Emperor Son really die in a hundred years?"
If it had been before, they would have been absolutely certain that no one in this world could survive the Soul Extinguishing Curse. But now… If anyone could survive the Soul Extinguishing Curse, it would definitely be the Ye Clan's Emperor Son. It would actually feel unbelievable if such a figure died to the curse!
He had slain a powerful enemy across realms with ease and obtained the recognition of an Emperor Weapon, which willingly delivered the Great Emperor's inheritance to him. Yet strangely, no one felt even the slightest trace of jealousy. They all felt that this was simply how it should be.
Su Chen calmly returned to the warship. The opportunities within the Emperor Tomb had fallen into his hands with surprising ease. Only at this moment did everyone truly catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg that was the bearing of a Great Emperor.
Having obtained the Great Emperor's opportunities, Su Chen prepared to return to the Emperor Pass to study them.
"Ye Clan Emperor Son! Please accept me. I wish to follow you!"
The Black Dragon Crown Prince, who had been suppressed by the white-robed monk, flew out and chased after the warship. He transformed into human form and dropped to his knees before Su Chen with a loud thud.
Although the Black Dragon Crown Prince had been suppressed by the white-robed monk, no one considered him weak. He was a monster with the potential to reach the Heavenly King level. Yet now he showed not the slightest arrogance as he knelt before another person and offered to follow him.
Under normal circumstances, this scene would have caused a huge stir. But today, it was the most insignificant little matter.
Su Chen looked down. The Black Dragon Crown Prince's expression was sincere.
"I still lack a mount."
The Black Dragon Crown Prince's face lit up with joy. There was no shame at all. Instead, he repeatedly said, "Thank you, Master! I am willing to be the Master's mount!"
Only such a person was worthy of having him as a mount. He would follow to the death!
Su Chen nodded. Another black dragon had joined the warship.
Su Chen began to comprehend the Great Emperor's inheritance brought by the Emperor Weapon.
Meanwhile, the warship continued sailing deeper into the Emperor Path.
