Su Chen masters the Earth Formation Art and disappears underground, leaving the elders of Saint Academy curious and concerned about his intentions. Meanwhile, Qianqiu Xue successfully cultivates the eighth form of 'Hundred Thousand Sword Hearts,' the Sword Seal, demonstrating immense power by freezing everyone present. Upon exiting the Emperor Blood Pool, she is told by Dean Feng Qiu to wait ninety-five years for Su Chen's emergence, as he might finally be able to withstand her attack then.

Emperor Blood Pool.

Below, at a depth of one hundred thousand meters.

On the Earth Formation Gate, a faint halo-like ripple flashed past.

Su Chen walked out from within.

"Thump thump thump..." Just as he stepped out, an extremely, extremely rhythmic pounding sounded by Su Chen’s ears; it was the sound of a heart beating.

Su Chen’s face instantly turned deathly pale.

Blood streamed from the corner of his mouth.

His internal organs, especially his heart, had almost shattered.

Shattered by the shock.

Shattered by the resonance power brought on by the heartbeat sound echoing by his ears.

"How strong!!!" Su Chen muttered to himself, his eyes filled with grave solemnity. The "thump thump thump" heartbeat by his ears was clearly the heartbeat of the Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant.

The Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant—supremely powerful!

No wonder it was a Hegemon Level Giant Beast of the Ancient Era.

"Xi, is that Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant still alive?" Su Chen asked, his Mind solemn to the extreme. If the Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant were still alive, and just the sound of its heart beating could seriously injure him, then how dangerous it would be was obvious.

"No, it’s already been dead for hundreds of millions of years. If the Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant were still alive, even if you were ten times stronger, coming here would still only mean one road—to death. Even the dean of the Saint Academy, when facing a living Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant, would be nothing but the lowest of ants."

"Then why is there a heartbeat sound?" Su Chen was curious.

"Its Strength is too strong!!! Even after hundreds of millions of years, its Physical Body does not rot! If the Physical Body does not rot, naturally the heart does not rot either! The Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant should have, right before death, gathered all its essence into its heart. Precisely because of this, the sound of its heart beating could, across hundreds of millions of years, Breakthrough the passage of time, ripple outward, and be heard by you."

"What?" Su Chen was dumbfounded. What Xi meant was that the Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant’s heartbeat he was hearing now was, in fact, a sound from hundreds of millions of years ago—only that sound broke through the passage of years and, across that span, still reached his ears.

This... how is this possible?

The next instant.

Su Chen nonetheless confirmed that what Xi said was true.

Because, all of a sudden, that heartbeat sound vanished.

Vanished without a trace.

Not a single thread remained.

And at that very In an Instant, Su Chen felt a strange illusion of traversing space and time, as if he had just returned from the Ancient Era.

"Truly terrifying." Su Chen took a deep breath and muttered to himself.

He lifted his head and looked ahead.

Before him was a palace.

A massive, spacious palace.

Within the palace were stone pillars carved with supreme soaring dragons.

There were slabs of jade undulating with soft Divine Light.

There were all kinds of Strange, clear, vivid murals.

There were one Formation after another whose energy had already been exhausted.

The entire palace gave off an impression of luxury, vastness, desolation, and silence.

What drew the eye the most was the very center of the palace.

At the center, there was a pool.

A circular pool.

The pool was huge; its diameter alone exceeded ten kilometers.

Within the pool, scarlet red halos rippled, one after another. Those halos looked extremely Strange, extremely dense; from afar, that pool seemed like a setting sun.

With a wary expression, Su Chen moved his steps, approaching that pool one step at a time.

Because the space was so open, Su Chen’s footsteps landing on the jade slabs sounded crisp and clear, echoing for a long time, making a Strange soft sound ripple through the entire palace.

Very soon.

Su Chen reached the edge of the pool.

Standing at the pool’s edge.

Su Chen looked down into the pool.

With a single glance, he couldn’t see the bottom!

It was too deep.

"Come down."

"Come down."

"Come down."

"I shall grant you supreme Strength."

"I shall grant you eternal time."

"Come down..."

......

As Su Chen stared into the depths of the pool, a voice sounded by his ears.

The voice was low, filled with a flavor of temptation and bewitchment.

That voice was like a hook, hooking onto Su Chen, trying to pull him down.

"If one’s will isn’t firm, a single glance might make them jump straight down." Su Chen drew in a deep breath, lifted his head, and his expression was somewhat gloomy.

His will was firm enough, or rather, his Divine Soul was strong enough, so he could remain calm—plus he had Xi and Jiuyou reminding him.

So naturally, he would not jump down.

But if it were another Martial Cultivator?

Would they definitely jump?

"Xi, what’s down there?" Su Chen asked.

"The corpse of the Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant!!!" Xi said in a deep voice.

"Oh? So that means I still have to go down?" Su Chen licked his lips. Hadn’t this whole trip been for the Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant’s corpse?

"You naturally have to go down, but you absolutely must not just jump in like this. If you jump like this, you’ll most likely fall into an absolute storm or some other dangerous place. This is a mechanism set up by the Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant before it died, precisely to prevent people of later generations from coveting its corpse."

"Then what should I do?" Su Chen frowned slightly.

"Use the Divine Mansion to absorb all the energy in the mechanisms set up below. Once those mechanisms lose their energy, they will naturally become ineffective. Any mechanism setup must be powered by energy."

"Got it." Su Chen smiled. Indeed, the Divine Mansion was invincible.

The next moment, Su Chen drove the Divine Mansion.

He began to operate it.

At once.

Su Chen’s entire being became the central point of a Devouring black hole.

A terrifying Devouring Force spread out.

He directed these Devouring Forces toward the bottomless pool before him.

Very soon.

From afar, one could see the scarlet red halos in that colossal pool begin to move; they were being drawn, irresistibly pulled toward Su Chen.

The Divine Mansion’s Devouring Force was simply like something that clung to the bone; it couldn’t be shaken off. No matter how those scarlet red halos struggled, they were still rapidly, massively Devouring.

Time passed, minute by minute.

After about one day.

Su Chen stopped.

Because at this moment, the red halos in the pool had already vanished.

"It’s done, the mechanisms arranged within the pool are all scrapped." Xi spoke.

"That’s quite a good harvest." Su Chen smiled in satisfaction. He hadn’t yet obtained the Four-Direction Dragon-Elephant’s corpse, but just the energy contained within the mechanisms in the pool was no small fortune—simply a sea of energy.

Unfortunately, the Divine Mansion was too picky; from this sea of energy, it removed far, far, far too much dross, leaving only the most purified, pure energy.

Even so, it still allowed Su Chen to advance from the Supreme Emperor Extreme Realm to the Supreme Emperor Extreme Realm Third Level.

A harvest neither too big nor too small.

"Don’t you dare disappoint me." Su Chen lowered his head again and looked into the pool.

Now, the pool was pitch-black...

Bottomless.

It looked like a path leading into the Hell Abyss.

However, there were no more tempting, bewitching voices.

The next instant.

Su Chen took a single step forward.

At once, Su Chen felt the pull of free fall!!!
