Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 79

This was naturally to guard against the Ninth Princess’s retaliation.

Given her status, if she mobilized the various branches of the Imperial Court, even if only a portion, it could deal a devastating blow to the Heavenly Kingdom organization.

To avoid such a situation, they could only retract their forces and hide in advance.

“Ahhh! Su Changsheng, I want you dead!”

In the Northern Profound Continent, within the Heavenly Demon Hall, a terrifying roar echoed through the heavens and earth. Accompanied by the overwhelming might of a Great Saint, countless beings across the continent were filled with fear and unease.

Why was the ruler of the Northern Profound Continent, that supreme Demon King, so enraged?

Boom!

The Heavenly Demon Hall trembled, and within that towering mountain, intense divine flames surged violently, expanding in an instant to nearly fill the entire sky, engulfing everything.

Shortly after, the entire Heavenly Demon Hall vanished, including that towering divine mountain.

“Su Changsheng…”

On the other side, in the True Saint Continent, the Lord of the Demon Palace stood with his hands behind his back, treading within a pitch-black abyss. His eyes were complex as he muttered to himself.

He hadn’t expected that the true reason for the plan’s failure would be due to an insignificant ant.

“Next, it will surely be the Ninth Princess’s retaliation. Succeed or die trying, haha!”

The Lord of the Demon Palace couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

He thought of the indifference and detachment in the tone of the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince had no intention of protecting them at all.

It was already very clear.

From the very beginning, the Crown Prince had regarded them and the three major forces as expendable pawns, mere tools.

Whether they succeeded or not, they would be abandoned and engulfed by the wrath of the Imperial Court.

“To think that I, who have roamed the Divine Realm for a hundred thousand years and am known as a major power, am nothing more than a pawn, an insignificant ant!” The Lord of the Demon Palace couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

Indeed, he should never have gotten involved in the struggle between the Imperial Prince and Princess.

Whether it was success or failure.

“However, I will not sit and wait for death. The Demon Abyss? As long as it can be used by me, what does it matter if it’s called the Demon Abyss!” The Lord of the Demon Palace’s gaze turned towards the pitch-black abyss, letting out a cold laugh.

Boom!

Immediately after, he leaped straight into the bottomless abyss, where an overwhelming and terrifying demonic aura emanated faintly.

However, it was all being suppressed by a massive cauldron.

Yet, as the Lord of the Demon Palace plunged into it, the cauldron began to tremble incessantly, on the verge of shattering at any moment.

……

Wanxiang City, Su Family.

“That guy Su Changsheng…”

Aunt Ye arrived at the Su Family, and upon learning that the Ninth Princess was engaged in dual cultivation with Su Changsheng, she couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

As expected, the thing she had been worried about had indeed happened.

However, she did not lose her temper, nor did she look down on Su Changsheng.

She was merely concerned about the reaction from the Imperial Court.

After all, in various aspects, Su Changsheng seemed rather ordinary when compared to those peerless geniuses of the Imperial Court.

At least for now, he didn’t appear to have many advantages.

“I just hope he can overcome this!” Aunt Ye sighed inwardly. In this matter, she was powerless to help.

Although her cultivation was decent, within the Imperial Court, it seemed rather weak.

She couldn’t involve herself in higher-level conflicts.

Boom!

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

On this day, within the room, accompanied by a sharp phoenix cry, blazing divine flames soared into the sky, forming the massive silhouette of a true phoenix.

“Nirvana and rebirth, the princess has succeeded!”

Seeing this scene, Aunt Ye’s eyes lit up, and her heart was filled with excitement.

True Phoenix Nirvana.

This secret technique was incredibly powerful. Each successful attempt resulted in a significant transformation, far surpassing previous states.

However, the success rate of this technique was extremely low, making it very difficult to achieve Nirvana.

Unexpectedly, it succeeded this time.

Boom!

Soon, the Ninth Princess appeared. She had become even more beautiful. Although still petite, the aura she exuded was now many times more terrifying than before.

Her cultivation had officially broken through to the Eternal Realm.

“Excellent, this princess is back, returning to my strongest period!”

The Ninth Princess stood with her hands on her hips, radiating immense pride and confidence, like a little phoenix.

Behind her, Su Changsheng also appeared.

His aura had grown much stronger, and his eyes were deep and profound. The aura he emitted made even someone like Aunt Ye, a Great Saint, feel a twinge of fear.

How could this be possible?

Su Changsheng, able to pose a threat to her?

Aunt Ye’s heart trembled.

“Aunt Ye, you’re indeed alright!”

Seeing Aunt Ye, the Ninth Princess’s eyes lit up.

Although she had known from the beginning that Aunt Ye would be fine, she had still been somewhat worried.

Now that she saw her, she felt relieved.

“Yes, Your Highness the Princess, rest assured. Those three cannot threaten me, but I regret not being able to protect you properly!”

Aunt Ye composed herself and looked at the Ninth Princess.

“I’m back!”

Beside her, Su Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze turning towards Gu Qingge and the others.

“Father!”

Su Changge rushed forward, acting playfully.

“Your strength has increased!”

Gu Qingge remarked from the side. Her insight was far more formidable than Aunt Ye’s, as she was a true Supreme Emperor.

With just one glance, she could see the terrifying power of Su Changsheng.

Although he had only advanced a few levels, his strength had undergone a remarkable transformation.

“I gained some benefits and merely broke through to the Fourth Heaven,” Su Changsheng replied with a calm smile.

The Ninth Princess’s dual cultivation technique was indeed powerful, and combined with her bloodline, it had directly allowed him to break through several levels.

Now, he was at the Fourth Heaven of the Saint King realm. Coupled with his Eternal Calamity Primordial Demon Body, his combat power had truly reached the level of a Great Saint, and he could even tear through them.

Capable of challenging Great Saints!

“Indeed!”

Gu Qingge gave him a deep look.

She could vaguely discern that his physique had undergone a complete transformation.

It was the same physique as their daughter Su Changge’s, the Eternal Calamity Primordial Demon Body.

Although she didn’t know why, since Su Changsheng hadn’t mentioned it, she didn’t press for details.

“Su Changsheng, this princess has to leave now!”

After a while, the Ninth Princess walked over, her gaze fixed on Su Changsheng, revealing a sense of reluctance.

“Not staying a bit longer?” Su Changsheng asked, without any hint of surprise.

“No, this princess needs to return as soon as possible. That scoundrel dared to target me like this, so I won’t let him off either!” The Ninth Princess’s eyes were icy, filled with murderous intent.

“This princess is leaving now. Su Changsheng, if you don’t become stronger, when I become the Empress, you’ll only be able to be a consort!”

The Ninth Princess lifted her chin proudly and, without waiting for Su Changsheng’s reply, turned and left with Aunt Ye.

“Consort? Heh…”

Su Changsheng chuckled wryly. Who was the one crying and begging for mercy earlier?

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.

During this period, the True Saint Continent had been in constant turmoil. Various factions saw their Saint Ancestors fall one after another in the Great Saint Secret Realm. Some factions even lost their Saint Ancestors entirely, leading to their decline.

For a time, various forces attacked each other, seizing territories.

During this time, the Su Family, which had been recuperating for several years, bared its fangs and began to devour the territories of various major factions, even declaring war on some of the once top-tier forces.

For instance, the Lingxu Sword Sect and others.

Any faction that had once seized the territory of the Myriad Beasts Sect was now being targeted by the Su Family, hinting at a trend of swallowing up the entire True Saint Continent.

This move caused panic among various factions.

Was the Su Family aiming to unify the True Saint Continent?

Boom!

On this day, at the Su Family, a startling divine light shot into the sky, accompanied by the cry of a newborn. Su Changsheng’s second child was born.
