We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World Chapter 484 -: The Southern Region’s Scheme

“Su Chen!” the Heaven Devouring Beast bellowed in sheer terror. “Even if you take my life, you won’t escape unscathed!”

“Is that so?” Su Chen arched an eyebrow, his voice laced with challenge. “Then by all means, try!”

Upon hearing Su Chen’s reply, the Heaven Devouring Beast’s countenance grew exceedingly grim, marred by profound unwillingness and seething anger. He had boasted of their quasi-emperor’s imminent arrival, only to find himself the target of Su Chen’s murderous intent. If fate offered him another chance, he vowed never to utter such rash words again, especially not within Su Chen’s hearing. Had he remained silent, awaiting their quasi-emperor’s arrival instead of issuing threats, this predicament would have been averted. Alas, a second chance was not forthcoming.

The Heaven Devouring Beast roared his fury, “Our quasi-emperor will reach this place in precisely fifteen minutes!”

His cry reverberated through the heavens and earth, shattering the surrounding void and unleashing torrents of chaotic mist. Behind him, thirty thousand runes of the Heavenly Dao materialized, manifesting as successive demonic phantoms that stood arrayed in the void, akin to a series of obsidian divine peaks. Together, they launched a fearsome assault upon Su Chen. The spectacle was undeniably terrifying, a display of power difficult to comprehend and even harder to imagine in its full, destructive might.

Nevertheless, before the Heaven Devouring Beast could conclude his defiant roar, silence fell. Su Chen seemed to undergo a metamorphosis, transforming into an indomitable war god. Chaotic Qi radiated from his being as he advanced, his steps, though unhurried, covered vast distances with each stride.

The Azure Dragon Sword, held firmly in Su Chen’s grasp, descended in a diagonal slash, cleaving the very fabric of heaven and earth. Each strike forced the grievously wounded Heaven Devouring Beast to retreat. The demonic phantoms summoned behind the beast vanished like wisps of green smoke within the span of a single breath, dissipating into nothingness.

“Today,” Su Chen declared, his entire form ablaze with an unparalleled, dazzling divine light, as if the supreme Heavenly Emperor himself had descended to survey his domain, “not to mention your quasi-emperor, even if a Great Emperor were to appear, or a True Immortal descended, none could prevent me from killing you!”

With a resounding boom, Su Chen’s singular blow sent the Heaven Devouring Beast hurtling away. The beast coughed up a torrent of blood, its colossal form on the verge of disintegration, revealing bone beneath shocking wounds. Witnessing this brutal display, the others who had contemplated intervention involuntarily stepped back. Their initial objective was merely to delay Su Chen. However, judging by the current turn of events, that objective had already been successfully met. As long as Su Chen remained occupied with the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master and the quasi-emperor’s coffin, their mục đích was served. The ancient powerhouses present, cunning and calculating, prioritized Su Chen and the opportunities he represented. The sacrifice of the Heaven Devouring Beast, a mere Saint King Realm expert, was deemed an acceptable price for effectively immobilizing Su Chen without expending significant effort. The Heaven Devouring Beast was expected to hold out against Su Chen until his quasi-emperor arrived to deliver him and vanquish Su Chen.

However, after merely a dozen exchanges, Su Chen’s peerless sword swept forth once more, shattering the void with its sharp intent that permeated the entire realm. The dazzling sword aura blazed like the noonday sun. The Heaven Devouring Beast attempted to shield himself with his claws, but they splintered under the immense force, followed by his arms, and then his entire body was blown asunder, painting the sky crimson with his blood.

Roaring in agony and utter despair, his divine soul detached from his ravaged form, rapidly mending his physical body. In his gaze fixed upon Su Chen, a profound sense of dread had already taken root, its presence undeniable. This battle had inflicted a deep psychological wound, one that threatened to impede his future cultivation path should Su Chen not be eliminated.

This thought prompted the Heaven Devouring Beast to consider capturing Mu Qingxue and Ye Ruxue from the Chaotic Sea Star Region as leverage against Su Chen. Yet, he swiftly dismissed the notion. Su Chen had, with high probability, already attained the mantle of the World-Transcending Sword Master. At this juncture, any individual daring to trespass into the Chaotic Sea Star Region and instigate trouble for Mu Qingxue and Ye Ruxue would invariably be paving a path toward their own destruction.

While the Chaotic Sea Star Region posed only moderate peril in the absence of a master, its transformation into an exceptionally dangerous forbidden zone under its new guardian was a certainty. Not even a Great Emperor could safely navigate its depths then, owing to the formidable immortal formations ensconced within—formations that might challenge even True Immortals, let alone a cultivator of the Saint King Realm. A significant qualitative chasm existed between the Great Emperor Realm and the True Immortal Realm.

Reaching the Great Emperor Realm was deemed an exceptionally rare feat, yet aspiring to ascend to the True Immortal Realm demanded far exceeding mere innate talent.

It might be stated that out of a hundred great emperors, the likelihood of finding even a single one who became a true immortal was exceedingly slim. Across the vast tapestry of historical records, numerous great emperors ventured into the Immortal Realm, driven by the prospect of achieving true immortality.

“How intriguing, I had no inkling you would also be refining the Black Blood Stones!” Su Chen remarked, his gaze narrowing with icy intensity. “It appears the Southern Region harbors a significant conspiracy! I am now somewhat intrigued by this so-called Ancient Pact you speak of. However, my curiosity is even more piqued regarding the origin of these Black Blood Stones!” To Su Chen’s understanding, the Southern Region lacked overtly hostile dark creatures such as those found in the East Barrens. It was widely known that in the East Barrens, the dark creatures and the human race were locked in a perpetual, brutal conflict. Conversely, the Southern Region maintained an atmosphere of undisturbed tranquility. Whether in the present era or in ancient times, the Southern Region had consistently remained peaceful.
