Chapter 842: Peak Power

The annihilating black snow continued relentlessly, growing more intense by the moment. Su Che could clearly sense that the destructive power contained in each snowflake was also increasing. It was obvious that the strength of this annihilating field would grow stronger over time.
The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
Lao He wasn’t idle either. He used the detection capabilities of the Immortal Prison to explore everywhere, helping Su Che find weak points in this annihilating field.
In the mortal world, Lao He’s detection skills far surpassed Su Che’s spiritual sensing, often proving effective. But after entering the Immortal Realm and encountering a higher level of energy systems, this advantage no longer stood out.
Up to now, whenever Su Che’s detection methods failed, Lao He’s detection abilities were also suppressed.
It was the same now. As Lao He tried to spread his detection abilities, they were eroded by the annihilating black snow, becoming fragmented. Within a thousand feet, they became useless.
The situation was indeed troublesome. Just a casual field attack from the Annihilating Demon Ancestor left Su Che in such a passive position. The Demon Ancestor was truly the Demon Ancestor—this was the power of peak strength.
Fortunately, after using this annihilating field attack, the Annihilating Demon Ancestor didn’t resort to any other attacks. It was unclear whether it was because, as the Demon Ancestor, he disdained to add more attacks, or because other attacks might have a negative impact on the annihilating field…
With no other choice, Su Che had to resort to a crude method, though he wasn’t sure if there would be enough time.
He sent some of the annihilating power that had entered his body to the Immortal Prison, to the Creative Divine Tree, hoping it could quickly develop an attribute energy to counteract this destructive power.
Generally, such tasks required sufficient time—ranging from one or two hours to two or three days, or even months. So Su Che didn’t hold too much hope.
It was likely too late to research such things mid-battle.
Things in the world were strange in this way—often, the less hope one had, the more surprises there were. In just a dozen breaths, the Creative Divine Tree brought good news.
“Master, the method to counteract the annihilating power is simple. Origin Magic can suppress it.”
What?
Su Che was initially stunned, then suddenly understood: “Yes, the so-called annihilating power held by the Demon Ancestor must stem from Origin Magic. Using one’s own weapon against oneself—this principle is the same as how Chaos Energy can suppress most energies in the Immortal Realm.”
Phew!

Su Che summoned enough Origin Magic from the Prison of Immortals and spread it outward, enveloping his defensive barrier. Sure enough, he saw that as soon as the Death-Bringing Black Snow came into contact with the Origin Magic, it would gently slide away, almost as if it were avoiding it on its own.
“It really works! I never expected the solution to be so simple.”
Overjoyed, Su Che suffered no further harm under the protection of the Origin Magic. He began to move at high speed within the domain, searching for its weak points.
Of course, Su Che also knew that the Origin Magic couldn’t counteract the attack power of the Death-Bringing Demon Ancestor. Instead, it was the Death-Bringing force itself that had a recognition function, preventing it from harming the Origin Magic race within the domain.
Domain attacks were a form of large-scale group attack. In a chaotic battlefield, it was possible to include both allies and enemies within the domain. In such a situation, it was impossible to kill everyone indiscriminately, so the attack power needed to have a recognition function—attacking only enemies without harming allies.
Under the cover of the Origin Magic, the Death-Bringing Snowflakes would regard Su Che as one of their own and thus not attack him.
It was more or less that principle.
Before Su Che could find a weak point in the domain, the Death-Bringing Demon Ancestor transmitted a message to the Annihilation Demon Ancestor: “It seems this kid has basically mastered our clan’s fundamental power. Conventional methods won’t be enough to control him.”
The Annihilation Demon Ancestor nodded silently without responding, lost in thought.
Seeing that his domain power couldn’t harm Su Che, the Death-Bringing Demon Ancestor changed his attack method. With a wave of his hand, a black lightning bolt struck into the domain and headed straight for Su Che.
Inside the domain, unprepared, Su Che realized the threat of the black lightning too late to dodge. Instead of fighting it head-on, he swiftly threw his Demon-Slaying Spear, which met the lightning bolt head-on from a distance of over ten zhang.
Whoosh!
The Demon-Slaying Spear seemed invincible. The black lightning bolt was shattered into a dozen smaller bolts, like spears, continuing to pierce at Su Che.
With them split into a dozen, their attack power was dispersed, less concentrated.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…
These lightning bolts didn’t penetrate Su Che’s defensive barrier but pushed him back hundreds of zhang.
Hiss… hiss… hiss…

The black lightning did not dissipate; it circled above the defensive barrier. Su Che immediately felt his defensive strength being compressed inward, as if tightly grasped by an invisible hand, pressing him inward bit by bit.
“The methods of the Demon Ancestor are truly unique. It’s obvious he intends to force my defensive strength back into my body and completely dismantle my defenses.”
A thought flashed through Su Che’s mind. Ignoring the black lightning, he exerted all his strength to activate the Demon-Slaying Spear, shooting tens of thousands of spear shadows toward the spot where the lightning had pierced his domain.
The spot where the black lightning entered was also the weakness in Su Che’s defense.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, all the spear shadows vanished, creating a hole less than ten feet in diameter above his head, through which light streamed in.
It was broken through!
Delighted, Su Che ignored the continuous attacks of the black lightning. Holding his spear, he rushed upward and flew out through the hole.
He was out.
Seeing light again—finally free from the Life-Annihilating Domain.
Of course, Su Che knew this was because the Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor also didn’t intend to trap him in that domain, which allowed him to seize that opportunity. Otherwise, it might have taken much longer to break free.
After emerging, Su Che wasted no time. Without pause, he sent tens of thousands of spear shadows toward the projection of the Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor, thousands of feet away.
To defeat a top-tier shaman like Gao Gang, just a few thousand spear shadows were enough. But against the Demon Ancestor’s projection, Su Che had to go all out, using his strongest attacks to be effective.
“Bold.”
The Silent Demon Ancestor said nothing, merely muttering in his heart, “Daring to counterattack a Demon Ancestor. It’s a pity you’re still too inexperienced!”
Yet, the Silent Demon Ancestor also admitted that Su Che’s growth rate was astonishing. Especially after being taken to Chaos by Xiao Luotian and returning, his strength had improved beyond everyone’s expectations, almost allowing him to break free from anyone’s control.
Facing the tens of thousands of spear shadows sent at him, the Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor waved his hand. In an instant, the entire area around him transformed into a compressed version of the universe’s starry sky, filled with countless stars.
The tens of thousands of spear shadows flew into this starry sky and immediately began a long journey. Though the actual distance was only a thousand feet, it felt as though they had to fly from one end of the universe to the other, traversing trillions of miles of space.
“Truly ridiculous.”

The Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor sneered and said, “Su Che, you actually dare to fight back against me. Even if you have enough courage, have you ever thought whether your attacks will even work?”
“Why not give it a try?”
Su Che replied calmly, “With this opportunity to test my own strength, surely the Demon Ancestor won’t be too fussy about it?”
“If I really wanted to deal with you, I would have eliminated you the first time you entered the Origin Demon Realm. How could I have left you alive until now?”
The Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor growled, “Su Che, don’t measure us with such narrow-minded thinking. The purpose of the Origin Demons is far beyond your imagination.”
“Alright, even if the purpose of the Origin Demons is truly remarkable throughout the chaos, I still can’t allow you to destroy this universe.”
Su Che said seriously, “Even if I can’t do it, I should at least try, right?”
The Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor replied coldly, “One day you’ll understand just how powerless your so-called efforts are.”
After saying all that, the tens of thousands of spear shadows projected by Su Che flew only a pitiful distance in the universe-starry sky created by the Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor, seemingly never able to reach the end.
Snap!
The Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor casually extinguished that universe-starry sky, and along with it, the tens of thousands of spear shadows vanished without a trace.
“A peak powerhouse is indeed powerful!” Su Che nodded lightly and said softly, “But I must say that today, neither of you will be able to capture me. I wonder, do you believe me?”
The Life-Annihilating Demon Ancestor replied indifferently, “You intend to use that Witch God Token?”
“That’s right!”
Su Che casually took out the Witch God Token, held it in his hand, and smiled gently, “If I don’t use it now, I’ll lose the chance later.”
The function of the Witch God Token was to summon the Witch God within the Immortal Realm to help Su Che overcome a life-or-death crisis once. But until today, Su Che had never used it.
He guessed that in another ten years, when Tian Yin reached the rank of Immortal Lord, with her protection and his own rapidly improving strength, he might no longer need it at all.
Actually, using it in the Witch Tribe’s stronghold would also be quite appropriate.
With the Witch God returning, dealing with the projections of those two Demon Ancestors would be effortless. But Su Che believed that it was highly likely the Witch God and those two Demon Ancestors would never actually fight each other.
There must be some kind of agreement or understanding between them, making it unlikely they would easily turn on each other.

Today, the projected bodies of the two demon ancestors attempted to drag him to the Origin Demon Realm. Su Che knew that with his own strength, it was impossible to fight two at once. In the end, there were only two solutions: either use the Witch God Token or one of the ten treasures obtained from the Chaos Merchant. Comparing the two, it would be more cost-effective to use the Witch God Token. “But there’s no rush yet.” Su Che chuckled and, for some reason, put away the Witch God Token again.
