Chapter 918: Second Integration with the Dao

Yuhuang Tian cared nothing about the life or death of his own daughter. It was obvious that threatening him with Xueyu would be utterly ineffective. With no other choice, Su Che handed the sleeping Xueyu to Tian Yin, asking her to seal her completely using suppression techniques and temporarily confine her in her personal space. Xueyu’s true strength was merely that of a Seventh Heaven Immortal Emperor, so she surely couldn’t cause any trouble in Tian Yin’s personal space. All that was needed was to prevent her from ever accessing the Immortal Prison Pagoda again.

Under the combined attacks of Heavenly Dao’s punishment and Bat Wing Vajra, Yuhuang Tian still held his own, showing no signs of weakness. “It seems he can leave at any time if he wishes. Is there really no way to deal with him?” Su Che thought to himself. “Having such an opponent lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike—anyone would be unable to sleep or eat in peace.”

Lao He also said, “From the situation, it seems only with another super-strong fighter like the Snake Woman could we possibly defeat him. Unfortunately, Devil Island is too far from our Immortal Spirit Island; distant help won’t suffice… How about we drive him away and hide in Chaos? Once Xiao Hei truly grows up, we won’t have to fear him anymore.”

“Hide in Chaos? I refuse to accept that!” Su Che shook his head inwardly. “I haven’t even taken action yet. How can I be content with just being a bystander?”

Lao He’s true form grinned inside the Immortal Prison, muttering, “With your current strength, even if you tried to join the fight, you wouldn’t pose any threat to him at all.” Of course, he didn’t say this outright out of respect for his master.

“This time, even if I can’t kill him, I must defeat him with my own hands!” Su Che said again. “I have an idea. Though I’ve never tried it before, I’m about 70% confident it will work.”

“Master, it’s good enough. There’s no need to be upset,” Lao He said. He knew Su Che too well and immediately guessed that his master was planning to take another risk. In Lao He’s view, since Xueyu, the biggest threat, had been dealt with, Su Che’s safety was no longer at risk. All that was needed now was to make Yuhuang Tian back down, then they could all hide on Devil Island in Chaos—everything would be fine, with no more worries. Why risk life and death against him?

But Lao He’s advice had no effect. Su Che was determined. Without hesitation, he sent a thought to the heavens: “I have already completed the integration of my body with the Dao in the Immortal Prison Universe. Whether it’s once or twice, it’s the same. Why not give me a hand?”

These words sound somewhat dubious, but the laws of this universe have understood them. They must have understood. The three thousand elite warriors who were engaged in a tug-of-war with the golden light of Yu Huang Tian suddenly withdrew in unison, gathering together at high altitude to form a golden giant hundreds of miles tall. On the other side, Su Che also pushed his transformation ability to its limit, his body expanding rapidly—whirring—until he transformed into a giant tens of thousands of miles tall in the blink of an eye. Such transformation ability far surpassed that of the Witch God, even surpassing the twelve ancient witches of the past. Su Che’s original cultivation level was already at an intermediate level among the Chaos Travelers, several ranks above the Immortal Lords of this universe. With his transformation ability increased by more than ten times, it was no wonder he could achieve such scale. “Unify with the Dao!” Su Che roared. The golden giant hundreds of miles tall took a huge step forward in mid-air, breaking free from Yu Huang Tian’s entanglement and immediately approaching Su Che. As its form shrank, it merged with Su Che’s figure, becoming one. Unify with the Dao? What kind of method is this? Lao Hei, Tian Yin, and the others were utterly puzzled, unable to imagine such a method. Even Yu Huang Tian looked grave, his brows furrowed, also unprepared for such a development. Little did they know, this was merely a whimsical idea that had just occurred to Su Che. He thought that since his main avatar had already unified with the Dao, transforming into the laws of the Immortal Prison Universe—and since the laws of the Immortal Prison Universe originated from this Immortal Spirit Universe—it wouldn’t be wrong to describe them as mother and child. With the fundamental attributes of the laws from two different worlds being infinitely similar and close, why not combine them, merge them into one, and concentrate all forces to unleash the strongest divine punishment? But this was only a temporary union of powers; it didn’t mean that Su Che’s original body had merged with the laws of the Immortal Spirit Universe. “But even if I truly unify with the Dao, what’s the harm?” Feeling his power surge rapidly, Su Che conceived another extremely bold, even rather insane idea: “If the main avatar merges with the laws of the Immortal Prison Universe, and my original body merges with those of the Immortal Spirit Universe, carrying the laws of two universes within me—what kind of being will I become?”

The reason why this idea is considered quite insane isn’t so much about the likelihood of its success, but rather the fact that this Immortal World is already in decline and on the verge of destruction. If it were to be completely erased from chaos by the Origin Demons in the future, Su Che would lose his true form. Even though he possesses the divine art of an immortal and indestructible clone, it would still be a tremendous loss.

As the saying goes, a wise man avoids standing beneath a crumbling wall. Knowing that this Immortal World is facing destruction, is it really necessary to risk being destroyed along with it?

Anyway, Lao He would never agree and immediately retorted, “Master, we can’t do this. We must not engage in such foolishness; there’s really no need!”

“I understand.”

Su Che’s mind was in turmoil, as his power continued to surge exponentially. “But this feeling is absolutely exhilarating, intoxicating. Moreover, I even have reason to suspect that this Immortal World was created by my past self. I was originally its master!”

Su Che had grounds for thinking this.

In the story told by Yu Huangtian, he was nothing but a villain who repaid kindness with betrayal. But how much truth could there be in what he said?

Seeing how the laws of this Immortal World favored him so much, how could it treat his past self, who was supposed to be an outsider thief, so generously?

On the contrary, if he had indeed been the creator of this universe, it made sense.

“I must uncover the truth. If this Immortal World was created by my past self, then no matter what risks lie ahead, I must do everything in my power to save it.”

This was a conjecture deep in Su Che’s heart, one he could only share with Lao He for now.

Upon learning of Su Che’s thoughts, Lao He had no more arguments. Indeed, if this Immortal World was truly created by the master’s past self, it made perfect sense to fight desperately for it.

This mental exchange between master and servant took just a few moments. Yu Huangtian, thousands of miles away, was still under the combined attacks of the Bat-Winged Vajra and couldn’t intervene to stop Su Che’s act of unity.

Soon, the golden giant and Su Che merged completely, with Su Che’s power reaching its peak as he rushed toward Yu Huangtian. Along the way, his figure shrank rapidly…

By the time the devastating punch was delivered, his size had returned to that of a normal human.

“All methods converge into one? Yu Huangtian, that’s an excellent idea of yours; it’s truly inspiring to me.”
Su Che roared, “Then take my punch and taste what it means for all methods to converge into one.”
