Chapter 841: The Force of Annihilation

Su Che was certain that the two dark figures in the sky must be the two great demon ancestors of the Origin Demons, as their presence immediately gave him an overwhelming sense of power he could hardly resist.
However, it was merely hard to resist, not impossible.
Su Che was confident that his combat strength, compared to the Immortal Lords, was no longer that of a weak insect.
Although they were two demon ancestors with a numerical advantage, Su Che felt that these two dark figures were likely just projections— the true forms of the demon ancestors, for some reason, had not come here in person.
Though it was a Barbaric Immortal Realm, it still belonged to the Immortal World. If the demon ancestors had appeared in their true forms, it would have been an act of open aggression, attracting at least a dozen Immortal Lords.
At this stage, the demon ancestors still had reservations, which gave Su Che considerable peace of mind.
As for Tian Yin’s impending promotion to Immortal Lord, Su Che never expected he could hide it from those at the peak. He neither admitted nor denied it, but instead asked in a deep voice, “Did the two great demon ancestors come to the Witch Tribe’s stronghold out of concern that I might do something extreme to Ju Li and Hao Gang?”
The dark figure on the right chuckled darkly, “We were somewhat worried at first, but seeing your restraint just now, it’s clear you’re indeed a smart kid.”
The dark figure on the left said, “We didn’t expect that, just because that Laughing Luo Tian got there first, in just over a thousand years, you’ve grown to this extent. It seems we miscalculated somewhat.”
Hearing this, Su Che vaguely guessed their identities and asked tentatively, “You must be the Demon Ancestor of Annihilation, right?”
“That’s right,” the dark figure on the left nodded in agreement.
Su Che then said, “Back in the Immortal Lord’s treasure hall, the Demon Ancestor of Annihilation arrived just after Laughing Luo Tian Immortal Lord but still targeted me. Then, may I ask, what did you want from me that day?”
Using the phrase “wanted from me” instead of “wanted to capture me” was a polite way of putting it, as Su Che still didn’t want to completely break ties with the nine great demon ancestors at this stage. At the very least, he should wait until Tian Yin became an Immortal Lord first.
“There’s definitely a reason for coming for you, but I can’t reveal it here,” the voice of the Demon Ancestor of Annihilation sounded ethereal, as if only Su Che could hear it. “If you want to know everything, it’s best for you to come with us to the Demon Realm. I assure you, it won’t pose a threat to your safety.”
Su Che nodded and smiled silently, meaning, of course: Is your assurance trustworthy?

But he said, “Going to the Demon Realm isn’t completely impossible, but it’s clearly not feasible at this stage. I still need to stay here to take care of Tianyin. In a few days, even if those nine Demon Patriarchs don’t invite me and I have some doubts, I want to get definite answers.”
As for the nine Demon Patriarchs, Su Che’s biggest question was this: Clearly, he was a savior created by the cosmic laws of this universe, standing in complete opposition to the Origin Demons. So, the nine Demon Patriarchs should have attacked him when he first entered the Demon Realm, when his strength was still very weak.
Wouldn’t it be better for them to kill him in his cradle, to end his life early?
Why didn’t they do that?
This was a question Su Che couldn’t figure out no matter how hard he thought.
Among the two dark figures, the unknown Demon Patriarch on the right suddenly spoke in a cold tone, “Since you’re here and we happen to meet you, we plan to take you to the Demon Realm right now. Do you think you can refuse?”
“I really can’t right now,” Su Che replied calmly, spreading his hands. “If the two Demon Patriarchs insist on this, I can only do my best to refuse.”
“Good. Let me see to what extent your strength as a savior has grown.”
The unknown Demon Patriarch seemed somewhat enraged. His deep voice carried strange magical power that could tear apart the souls of ordinary immortals. Several Witch Tribe warriors watching from outside the arena felt dizzy, their bodies becoming unsteady. With a roar, their massive bodies toppled like mountains and pillars, sending them all to the ground.
Even if they weren’t dead, they were completely unconscious.
Just one sentence was enough to knock out Witch Tribe warriors with the strength of Great Luo Golden Immortals, showing just how powerful and terrifying peak-level strength could be.
Su Che didn’t dare underestimate them. He summoned his treasures and immediately adopted his strongest defensive stance, already holding the Chaos Demon Annihilation Spear in his hand.
Finally, it was time to fight against a peak-level warrior. Su Che was highly nervous but also secretly eager.
To be honest, this was a pretty good opportunity. The opponent was just a projection, with at most 50% of the true form’s strength. He could use this chance to directly experience just how strong a peak-level warrior really was.
The unknown Demon Patriarch noticed the Chaos Demon Annihilation Spear and the other treasure, nodded, and said, “Pretty good treasures. Rare even in chaos. It seems your luck has been quite good this time you entered chaos.”
Su Che bowed and asked, “May I ask what your name is, Lord Demon Patriarch?”
“Miesheng.”

The Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor.
Su Che nodded and said, “Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor, I’m ready.”
“Hmph…”
The Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor smirked darkly, waving his shadowy hand gently in this direction.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The sky and earth darkened, and the entire arena’s environment suddenly changed—no sky, no ground. Su Che felt as if he had been transported by the Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor into a dim void, an environment very similar to the gloomy Ghost Realm on the second floor of the Immortal Prison.
Of course, Su Che knew clearly that he hadn’t really been transported away by the Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor; he was still in the wrestling arena of the Witch Tribe’s stronghold. It was just that a special realm had formed there, enveloping him.
It was impossible to dodge the Demon Ancestor’s attacks; one could only respond to them as they came, patiently finding ways to counter them.
After a few breaths, large patches of black snowflakes suddenly descended in this dim realm, drifting slowly and densely.
Upon closer inspection, they weren’t snowflakes at all but characters shaped like the character “Annihilate,” each the size of a goose feather.
Black snow of annihilation—eradicating all life!
Undoubtedly, being touched by even a single such snowflake would lead to terrifying consequences. But the problem was that with snowflakes falling densely from the sky, there was no chance to avoid them. It was almost impossible to stay unscathed.
Before the endless black snow above his head could fall, Su Che used the Great Dispelling Art to try and scatter the snowflakes.
Hiss hiss hiss…
The mythic-level Great Dispelling Art proved utterly ineffective—it only dispersed five snowflakes, turning them to nothingness, which then canceled each other out, exhausting its power.
In less than ten breaths, Su Che increased the frequency of his spells to the extreme, trying more than a dozen mythic-level great arts, even resorting to the simplest basic technique of wind sweeping fallen leaves.
All to no avail—completely useless!
The goose-feather snowflakes, seemingly light and weightless, were like towering mountains that couldn’t be moved. It was impossible to shift even one of them.
“I can only endure it!”
Su Che frowned as the first snowflake shaped like “Annihilate” drifted down and touched his formidable defense barrier.
With a hiss, a large hole appeared in the defense barrier, allowing an annihilating force to seep in. This force, upon contacting Su Che’s Great Defense Art and Great Golden Body Art, passed directly into his body through the power of these great arts.

Although Su Che dispelled this force of extinction with his Immortal Essence magic in an instant, this was merely the power of a single snowflake. If he were to be continuously exposed to them one after another, no matter how strong his defense, it would gradually be eroded until nothing remained. The power to destroy life was truly terrifying, seemingly the nemesis of the ultimate arts. Su Che knew that it was only because this giant had been strengthened by that Chaos Merchant that he could withstand at least 90% of the destructive power contained in a single snowflake; without such enhancement, he could only resist at most 20-30% of it. Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh… More snowflakes of destruction fell upon the defensive barrier, and their weak forces combined into one, penetrating his body. Relying solely on Immortal Essence magic was no longer sufficient to counter them; he had to continuously infuse life energy to neutralize this evil force that sought to destroy life. Initially, it seemed possible to resist, but the key was not to just endure passively—he also had to launch a counterattack or break through this realm of destruction! Hiss hiss hiss hiss… Countless snowflakes corroded large holes in the defensive barrier, which then closed instantly before more holes were created by yet more snowflakes. While Su Che exerted all his strength to use his Immortal Essence to resist the destructive force, he also sent his consciousness out to search for weaknesses or vulnerabilities in this attacking realm. Only by breaking through this realm could he launch a counterattack against the Demon Ancestor of Destruction. Yet, as his consciousness encountered the endless snowflakes, it too suffered erosion. Su Che’s mental state trembled, and suddenly, his consciousness was riddled with holes and utterly disorganized. If his intact consciousness were compared to a huge curtain that could cover a certain area, then now it had been corroded into a fishing net full of holes—still a tattered one at that. Su Che sighed inwardly, “Just in the first round, I’m already at a clear disadvantage. Peak-level power is truly formidable.” Lao He comforted him, “That’s already quite good. This is a Demon Ancestor who can confront an Immortal Lord head-on in every aspect. Normally, immortals below the Immortal Lord would be instantly killed by their attacks and wouldn’t last even one round. You not only managed to hold your ground but also had the strength to find weaknesses and attempt a counterattack—this is already very powerful and remarkable, isn’t it?” “Maybe. But don’t forget, this is just his projected body; it can’t fully reflect his true strength.”

His spiritual sense was not reliable, so Su Che could only rely on sight and intuition to explore around, hoping to find a weakness in this realm of destruction. Whether it was offense or defense, every spell had its weak points, and the Immortal Lord and the Demon Ancestor were no exception. By identifying that weakness and delivering the strongest strike, Su Che was confident he could break through. Though at a disadvantage now, Su Che was actually calm, with a clearer understanding of his own strength. Lao He was right—faced with peak warriors, he already had the strength to fight.
