Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse-Chapter 230

Chapter 230

Almost simultaneously, a dragon claw sliced across the Nine Heavens, its imperial might overwhelming, causing the entire world to tremble. The perfected Primordial Dao Body boiled with power, the ten thousand paths unfolded, and the Sea of Laws surged with terrifying momentum.

The might of both forces was nearly equal, and each one was powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth. In the face of these two powers, the entire world seemed to be on the verge of collapse, as if it could explode at any moment.

“Attaining the Dao is no easy task! I, the Emperor, recognize that your path has not been easy. Do not force me to act and kill you!” A cold, indifferent voice resounded, calm yet filled with authority, looking down upon all living beings from above!

The immense, murderous aura spread across the universe, suppressing everything. Just a trace of that aura was enough to overturn galaxies and cause star systems to collapse!

“Do you dare?” Jiang Chen sneered, ignoring the True Dragon Emperor’s threat. “Others may not know your depths, but do you think I don’t?”

“You old relics, clinging to life for countless years, have been waiting for the Immortal Path to open, haven’t you?”

“Now that the heavenly secrets have manifested and the Immortal Fate is about to reappear in the mortal realm, will you truly give up everything for an insignificant offspring?”

Others might not understand the true nature of the forbidden zones, but Jiang Chen did. These former Great Emperors, in their pursuit of the Immortal Path, had long since severed all emotions and no longer possessed their once-majestic bearing.

“You know quite a lot!” The True Dragon Emperor’s tone remained as steady as ever, though there was a slight hint of surprise in his words.

But this surprise was quickly hidden. For most factions, this knowledge was a secret, but for someone of Jiang Chen’s level, it wasn’t much of a secret at all.

At such a level, one could sense the myriad paths of the universe and gain insights from the heavenly secrets.

Then a massive dragon claw tore through the sky, causing stars to shatter and galaxies to explode.

Clang.

Jiang Chen discarded his stance and unleashed his supreme swordsmanship. The crisp sound of the sword echoed through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, sweeping forth with overwhelming might, like a vast and boundless galaxy.

The sword aura filled the sky, blotting out the sun and covering the entire world. Each strand of the descending sword energy was earth-shattering, capable of annihilating entire star systems.

Under the vast river of sword light, everything perished.

With a thunderous roar, the massive dragon claw was split apart, falling like a fragment of a world. Thick dragon blood flowed, filled with indestructible matter and Dao runes, its majestic aura suppressing everything.

The True Dragon Emperor had actually lost an arm, and everyone was shocked, their gazes toward Jiang Chen’s perfected physique completely changed.

“Stop!” At that moment, a deep voice resonated: “The Immortal Path is about to begin. Surely, the two of you don’t want to miss out on the Immortal Fate?”

“If you continue, the laws will be damaged, the Great Dao will be hidden, and the Immortal Path will completely close. This would not only cut off your paths but also the paths of everyone else!”

The eerie voice came from the Land of God’s Abandonment. It seemed to come from beyond the vast realms, yet it also sounded like a whisper in their ears. The powerful presence behind the voice sent shivers down everyone’s spines.

Another supreme being had appeared, and it came from the Land of God’s Abandonment, the most dangerous forbidden zone in the Nine Heavens Realm. Its influence was undeniable.

As the voice fell, both Jiang Chen and the True Dragon Emperor’s expressions shifted slightly, and they ceased their battle, not continuing any further.

Jiang Chen’s eyes were deep, and after a moment of contemplation, he watched as the Emperor Son was dragged into the endless darkness by the dragon claw.

“That old monster has been alerted. It’s a pity I’m not in my prime as a great accomplishment physique.” Jiang Chen sighed and ultimately didn’t make another move. Sometimes, one must know when to stop and not force the situation.

Currently, he wasn’t strong enough to sweep through everything, not even with the power of his perfected physique.

It wasn’t just the True Dragon Emperor who was a supreme ancient being; there were many other powerful figures in the Land of God’s Abandonment.

Especially the one who had just spoken—his power was vast and unimaginable. If Jiang Chen continued to fight, he wouldn’t just be facing a single supreme ancient being.

“Before the Immortal Path opens, these old monsters are unlikely to emerge. The Nine Heavens Realm can enjoy a brief period of peace.”

“As for the Emperor Son, I’ve already interfered, preventing him from reaching the perfected physique. Now that he’s been hit by the Reincarnation Tribulation, his life and death are uncertain.”

“Let’s see if he can survive the Reincarnation Tribulation. If he does, he’ll remain a threat in the future. But if he doesn’t, he’ll vanish like a fleeting flame.”

This unexpected series of events had been quite overwhelming. The appearance of the True Dragon Emperor and the interference from the Land of God’s Abandonment had been beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations.

Especially the interference from the Land of God’s Abandonment—it was far beyond what he had anticipated.

The appearance of the True Dragon Emperor had been a surprise, though not entirely unexpected. When Jiang Chen made his move, he had considered the possibility of the True Dragon Emperor intervening, but due to the original storyline, he thought it was unlikely.

However, despite the True Dragon Emperor’s interference, the Emperor Son’s condition had already been disrupted by Jiang Chen. He could no longer achieve the perfected physique, and even if he reappeared in the future, he wouldn’t pose as much of a threat.

While a Nine Tribulations Quasi-Emperor was unrivaled, he wasn’t invincible. If he had the power of a great accomplishment physique, it would be different.

Jiang Chen couldn’t fully control all the power of his perfected physique and could only wield about eighty percent of its strength. If the Emperor Son reached the perfected physique, they would be evenly matched, introducing more uncertainty.

“The storyline has already changed, and the Great Dao is in turmoil! The plot may progress ahead of schedule!” As Jiang Chen thought about the upcoming events, his eyes dimmed, filled with countless thoughts.

Then, he melded into the void and left the scene.

As the crowd dispersed, the previously chaotic heavens returned to their former calm.

If it weren’t for the shattered galaxies and the deep, unfathomable cracks in the starry sky that remained, indicating the terror of the recent battle, people might have thought nothing had happened at all.

“It’s over.” The Pure Yang Holy Master exhaled slowly, his voice heavy and no longer as carefree as before.

The others felt the same. Particularly the rulers of the immortal forces, whose moods were extremely grim. In the past, they had believed themselves to be at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens Realm, standing above all.

Now it seemed like nothing more than a joke. The great accomplishment physique, the True Dragon Emperor, and the mysterious Land of God’s Abandonment all revealed the existence of countless ancient monsters hidden within the Nine Heavens Realm.

And they, the rulers of the immortal forces, were just the visible surface. If those hidden beings emerged, they would be powerless to resist.

“An era of great calamities!” The Great Qin Emperor spoke in a deep voice.

The events of today made it clear that this era would be incredibly dangerous and difficult.

One wrong step, and it would be eternal damnation.

“Immortal forces and ancient imperial families? They’re nothing but jokes!” Jin Yuan sneered, his voice low. “In the eyes of these people, our past actions are no more than the antics of clowns!”

It was unclear if Jin Yuan had been hit too hard or what, but his attitude had completely changed, and he no longer showed his previous arrogance.

“The mysteries of the ages will finally be unveiled in this era! Whether or not immortals exist will no longer be a question in the future!”

“If we can witness it with our own eyes, it may not be such a bad thing!” The Third Ancestor was calm, unlike the others, showing little emotion. It was as if he had known this all along.
