I'll report this to the government and send all the main characters to jail.

Chapter 129 The Forbidden Zone of the World

Underground city, command center.

Su Chen kept his eyes closed, his prophetic mind racing.

Countless fragments of future possibilities flickered, were deduced, and reassembled in his mind regarding Li Xiaoyao and the Kunlun Immortal Treasury.

A moment later, he opened his eyes.

What Li Xiaoyao said is true.

The contents of that celestial treasure are indeed important to the current situation.

"Agreed to cooperate."

Su Chen's voice was clearly transmitted to Lin Xue's ears through the communicator.

"But monitor him the entire time, and act immediately if he makes any unusual moves!"

Following Su Chen's instructions, Lin Xue looked at Li Xiaoyao.

"We can cooperate."

The two reached a consensus and joined forces to head towards the seal of the Immortal Treasury.

It was an enormous stone gate, inscribed with extremely complex ancient runes, radiating an aura that refused to let any living being approach.

Li Xiaoyao unleashed his sword intent, while Lin Xue released her icy power.

One forceful, one gentle; two completely different yet equally powerful forces, were slowly injected into the stone gate under the skillful control of the two individuals.

buzzing...

The ancient stone gate groaned under its own weight, and the runes on it lit up one by one, then went out one by one.

Finally, with a loud bang, the stone gate slowly opened.

A vast, unimaginably large underground palace unfolded before them.

The palace was empty and ancient, permeated with the silence of time.

At the very center of the palace, three treasures floated silently in the air, emitting a soft glow.

A divine sword, its entire body flowing with azure light, emanating endless sword intent, as if a single glance would sever one's soul.

A jade seal, flawless white jade, is carved with mountains and rivers, the sun, moon and stars, with wisps of the world's primordial energy flowing within it.

And an ancient scroll bound by golden chains, exuding a forbidden and dangerous aura.

Li Xiaoyao's gaze was instantly drawn to the divine sword, and he could not look away.

He took a deep breath, took a step forward, and flew towards the divine sword.

The team members behind Lin Xue immediately raised their weapons, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

But Li Xiaoyao only took the divine sword and then stepped aside, keeping his promise.

Seeing this, Lin Xue walked towards the jade seal.

She reached out and gently grasped the jade seal that embodied the essence of the world.

At that very moment, another unexpected event occurred!

That last ancient scroll suddenly burst into flames without any fire!

The golden chains snapped inch by inch, and a blurry phantom slowly emerged from the burning scroll.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in a black imperial robe, his face indistinct.

But the domineering aura of a king who reigns supreme over the world and rules over humanity caused everyone present, including Li Xiaoyao, to feel a tremor from the depths of their souls.

The man in the imperial robe looked at Lin Xue and Li Xiaoyao and let out a long sigh.

"Finally... someone's here..."

His voice wasn't loud, but it resonated clearly in everyone's mind.

"I am an ancient human emperor, leaving behind this lingering regret only to deliver a final warning."

"The appearance of the Seraphs is not accidental, but a 'cleansing' launched against this world by a civilization from a higher dimension."

"You don't have much time left."

"We must find the 'Key to Creation,' otherwise, in seventy-two hours, all living beings in this world will be completely wiped out and reduced to nothingness."

As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory image of the Human Emperor began to become transparent and slowly dissipated.

Just before he completely disappeared, a golden light shot out from his fingertips, leaving a constantly flashing coordinate in mid-air.

Lin Xue immediately transmitted this earth-shattering news, along with the coordinates, back to Su Chen via an encrypted communicator.

Upon receiving the news, Su Chen immediately summoned the Three Saints of Kunlun and Elder Long.

On the enormous holographic projection, the string of golden coordinates exuded an ominous aura.

"The Key to Creation?"

The white-haired Taoist priest trembled, exclaiming in shock, "That's the ultimate key to unlocking the origin of the world, from ancient legends!"

"Legend has it that obtaining it can reshape the rules of the world, and even... recreate the universe!"

Reshaping the rules of the world—what an incredible and awe-inspiring power!

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Su Chen closed his eyes and activated his Prophet's Heart at full power.

An invisible force of chaos circulated around him, and the golden coordinates before him rapidly deduced in the ocean of his consciousness.

A few seconds later, Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

"In the sea."

He uttered three words, and the holographic map in the command center changed accordingly, eventually locking onto a deep blue, unknown sea area.

"The deepest abyss in the ocean!" a technician exclaimed in surprise.

"That place is perpetually shrouded in a strange energy field, with chaotic magnetic fields and disrupted signals. None of our satellites or detectors can probe its interior; it's known as the 'forbidden zone of the world'!"

Just then, in the bullet screen space that only Su Chen could see, a scarlet message suddenly filled the entire screen.

[Abyss Lord]: "Su Chen, I know you're looking for the Key to Creation."

The appearance of this message made Su Chen's heart skip a beat.

The Abyss Lord, one of the top SSS-level powerhouses in his previous life, a mysterious and unpredictable lone wolf.

[Abyss Lord]: "Don't waste your energy. In my previous life, that thing was in an ancient ruin in the deep sea abyss."

"But what protects it is a deep-sea behemoth that surpasses SSS-level."

"Our five SSS-level experts joined forces to attack, and the final result was three dead and two seriously injured. We couldn't even damage a single scale of that beast."

Looking at this message, Su Chen's fingertips felt slightly cold.

Even with five SSS-class units working together, they suffered a crushing defeat!

What kind of terrifying existence would that be?

With less than 72 hours remaining, the Seraphim's cleansing could come at any moment.

Giving up is tantamount to waiting for death.

Forward, even if it means facing nine deaths and one life.

Su Chen's thoughts raced through countless deductions in a flash, and finally, he made a decision.

"I'll go there myself."

His words were soft, yet carried an undeniable weight.

"No! It's too dangerous!"

Liu Yiyi was the first to stand up and object. She quickly walked up to Su Chen: "That's a monster that even five SSS-level monsters couldn't defeat!"

"That's precisely why I have to go," Su Chen replied simply.

He possesses the power of chaos, which may be the only variable.

Liu Yiyi wanted to say something more, but the light bloodline within her suddenly began to surge violently.

An unprecedented longing surged from the depths of his blood, pointing towards that abyss.

"My bloodline... has a strong connection to the Key of Creation."

She gritted her teeth and changed her tune: "Take me with you; maybe I can help!"

On the other end, Lin Xue's voice came through the communicator:

Count me in.

She exuded a chilling aura and her attitude was resolute.

Su Chen looked at the two of them, and after a brief but careful consideration, finally nodded.
