Chapter 114: Chapter 114

Su Zheng let out a faint chuckle.

Su Changsheng, however, curled his lips slightly and said,

“Don’t overthink it. The family has no interest in your empire.”

“Since the Patriarch has spoken, you need only walk your own path. I’m merely here to witness this path that has never appeared before—nothing more.”

“That’s quite a pity…”

“I was honestly hoping to learn a thing or two about First Immortal’s methods…”

At that moment, Su Zheng turned to look directly at Su Changsheng, and in those narrow eyes surged an unimaginable pressure!

Su Changsheng’s gaze remained indifferent and wooden—

Yet within it lay the endless passage of time.

As if the world might perish, but he would not; As if the sun and moon might fall, but he would remain.

Time—the most terrifying weapon in existence—

Seemed to have left its mark in his eyes…

In just a few short years, Su Zheng had risen from a mere youth to become a Supreme Emperor.

Cultivating alongside a nation, he could now stand toe-to-toe with Su Changsheng—A man bearing the inheritance of an ancient emperor.

Faced with this, even Su Changsheng couldn’t help but marvel in his heart:

“The Path of the Emperor truly is powerful. No one has ever walked it to the end.”

“From this moment on, aside from the Patriarch…”

“No one in the world can suppress him!”

“Patriarch… what kind of monster have you raised?!”

At the same time, Su Zheng was equally astonished inside.

Even he couldn’t see through Su Changsheng—Within those eyes lay ten thousand years of history.

It was hard to imagine that this man, who didn’t appear much older than himself, had experienced so much.

No wonder he was the first-ranked among the Su Family’s top sequence.

And there were six such monsters in the family…

“Aside from the Patriarch, who could possibly keep them in check…”

Just then, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry came to an abrupt stop, breaking their tense standoff.

“What is it?” Su Zheng asked aloud.

The cavalry did not pause.

A guard drew back the curtain.

Above the skies, ten thousand brilliant lights bloomed.

Five distinctly Heavenly Fires burst into radiant fireworks. This update ıs available on novel·fıre·net

The sight was breathtaking, dazzling beyond compare.

Even in broad daylight, it stirred the soul.

“Those are Heavenly Fires…” Su Changsheng, well-traveled and knowledgeable, recognized them at a glance.

But he paid them no mind.

Things that drew attention were the most dangerous—

And he disliked danger.

He only glanced briefly… intending to look away.

But then, his gaze froze upon a thin figure amid the sky full of fire.

“That kid… finally came home?”

“In battle? His enemies are Su Family’s enemies. Given such a display, their background must be immense…”

“Are they simply after him?”

“Or are they targeting Great Qin… or Su Zheng… or me…”

“Or perhaps… trying to draw me in… or the Su Family… or the Patriarch…”

In that instant, hundreds of his soul avatars raised questions simultaneously in his mind.

But Su Changsheng’s movements never faltered—With a single step, he shot straight into the skies.

Where his foot fell, formation lines appeared from thin air.

“An acquaintance?” Su Zheng asked.

Su Changsheng only said two words—But those two words made Su Zheng’s brow tighten.

“All troops, heed the command—There is an enemy on the horizon. Annihilate them all!!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!!”

An overwhelming killing intent burst forth.

Su Zheng rose to his feet—

The black dragon behind him transformed into pure Dao and soared into the sky.

Because the two words Su Changsheng had spoken were—“Burning Heaven.”

The one above was the Su Family’s Fifth Sequence: Fifth Burning Heaven!

How dare you… how dare you touch one of my family, within my empire!!!

The will to kill from an emperor surged like an endless tide.

High in the heavens, the residual shockwave from the Flame Lotus enveloped Su Yan and Old Hai.

The Wang Family’s forces glared at them like predators, waiting for the aftershock to subside—so they could pounce and finish them off.

If Su Yan—this monster—was not eliminated, they would never sleep soundly again.

With just one move, more than half the Starry Guards were annihilated.

Keep in mind—even the weakest among them were Star Holding Realm cultivators!

At such a young age, with such talent and battle strength—

If he lived, the Wang Family would never know peace again!!

Thinking this, the killing intent in their eyes began to leak like water.

Old Hai looked at the Wang Family’s warriors, then glanced at the pale-faced Su Yan beside him—

As if having made a decision.

“Kid Su—watch closely. Let this old man show you… what I was like in my prime…”

Old Hai’s voice was light, even playful.

That normally stern face now held a smile.

He and Su Yan, half master and half friend, had long become close companions despite the age gap.

To trade this old life for a youth with limitless future—

He’d call that a win.

“Old Hai, what are you doing?!” Su Yan’s face changed.

But now, drained of all his true essence, he was powerless to stop Old Hai’s actions.

“Hahaha!! Su brat, let this old man show you—”

“Back in the day, when the Frost-Chill King made maidens and noble ladies swoon—what kind of style did I have!!”

As he spoke, a cold wind rose around him.

Next came frost and snow, sweeping the skies.

Behind him, his constellation manifestation faded.

In its place—A winding Frost Dragon emerged!

The dragon’s body was damaged, its horns shattered, its scales cracked—

Yet it still exuded unimaginable might.

Its eyes burned like two faded, ruined suns, imposing beyond compare.

A Sealed King-level cultivator had returned to the field!

With just his aura, he suppressed all.

More than ten Starry Guards were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

Old Hai’s appearance grew youthful, with sword-like brows and starry eyes—heroic and striking.

“Brat!! Didn’t I tell you?!”

“Back in the Northern Wastes, I relied on this face—unmatched by anyone!!”

He laughed boldly, his Heaven-Suppressing Realm cultivation erupting without restraint.

Yet along with it, his lifeforce dimmed rapidly—on the verge of collapse…

“Old Hai!!! Stop!!!” Su Yan had guessed what was coming.

Burning one’s lifeforce to return to their peak.

The once-proud Frost-Chill King of the Northern Wastes had returned!

With a single wave of his hand—

The ice dragon roared, and the Starry Guards fell into disarray.

His Laws of Ice and Snow were nearing the Dao itself—

Everything in its path met death.

Watching his subordinates fall one after another, the commander of the Starry Guards revealed a cold smile.

“Old fool—I knew you had a trump card!”

As he spoke, a small bell appeared in his hand.

The bell shimmered with multiple protective layers, shielding him within.

“Concealing Heaven Bell—Can block a Sealed King for ten breaths a day…”

“How long can you last? Three breaths? Five?”

“Don’t forget—it was a Venerable who crippled you back then!!”

The commander laughed arrogantly.

Once Old Hai’s lifeforce faded, these two would be at his mercy.

But just as he expected to see the despair on Su Yan’s face—

The pale youth smiled lightly.

“You finally came out to have a look?”

“Huh?” The commander was confused.

Then—his hand was suddenly empty.

A dull-looking youth had somehow appeared beside him.

In his hand was the Concealing Heaven Bell.

“Came out to have a look…”

“And while I’m here—this little trinket’s not bad.”

The commander’s face turned deathly pale—

But as he turned around—

He saw a domineering figure, ascending against the heavens!!

The Emperor’s Path in motion!! The Ancestral Dragon ascends to the skies!!
