Chapter 234: The Undying Nether Emperor (15)
Three hundred years had passed since Su Chen left the Flying Cloud Realm. He had finally gathered enough resources for his fourth Nirvana. Each Nirvana enhanced both his talent and cultivation, but the time and resources required grew dramatically with every attempt. This one took a full thousand years.
For over a thousand years, the Flying Cloud Realm had heard no news of the peerless black crow. Many factions began to celebrate. Yet before they could even catch their breath, the Abyssal Sea Sacred Land's Saint Ancestor returned with the Sacred Lord and a large force of experts from beyond the realm.
Back then, the Saint Ancestor had known he was no match for Su Chen. Fearing revenge that would destroy thousands of years of cultivation, he had fled the realm with his bloodline descendants, abandoning the sacred land to wander the starry skies.
By chance, he had rescued a persecuted heir from a powerful sect. That heir turned out to be the direct descendant of a Great Saint Ancestor from that major orthodox lineage. As a result, both the Abyssal Sea Saint Ancestor and the Sacred Lord had joined this formidable sect. The Sacred Lord had even received a great opportunity and broken through to the Saint Realm.

He still wondered what kind of crow could be so terrifying that it had forced him to abandon his home and drift through the stars. This was his chance for revenge.
The sect heir showed great interest in the black crow. Because of the matter's importance, they had even convinced a Saint King from the sect to take action.
Inside the Flying Cloud Realm, the various orthodoxies felt bitter. They had only just sent off one demon god and enjoyed a thousand years of peaceful development. Now the Abyssal Sea Sacred Land's ancestors had returned, plundering their resources once more. With a Saint King present, none of them dared to resist.
Worse still, the Abyssal Sea Saint Ancestor was now leading this fearsome army straight into the forbidden zone.
