Chapter 83
The sky over the Lingxiao Blessed Land was split into two worlds—one lit with brilliant divine radiance, the other cloaked in abyssal demonic power.
And the one who caused all of this stood indifferently before a wooden hut.
In his eyes, gods and demons coexisted, but there was no emotion to be found.
It wasn’t indifference—but rather… an absence of emotion altogether.
He was Su Nan, an unparalleled prodigy who had slumbered since the Chaotic Ancient Era, and lost all memory.
He awakened from the Divine Origin and received the personal favor of the family leader, who helped temper his bloodline and guide him to retrain in the martial path.
The moment he stepped onto the path of cultivation, heaven and earth changed color, and gods and demons bowed before him.
His terrifying talent left no one in the Su Family capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
But Su Nan was lonely.
Even though today’s Su Family gave him boundless warmth, he remained isolated within.
He had slumbered for who knows how many long ages, and held a sense of disconnection from this world.
He and Su Buku, Su Yang, and Su Yan only came to know each other after clashing once.
Following that fight, they had a night of heavy drinking, and only then did that sense of alienation ease ever so slightly.
Then, he discovered what set him apart from everyone else: He had no path of his own.
Yes, he was the second-ranked God-Demon of the Su Family, an idol among the younger generation.
But Su Nan did not know what he truly sought, or what he truly desired.
Su Yan said he would climb to the peak to avenge his teacher.
Su Yang looked to the horizon and said he did not want Xiao Wu to wait too long.
Su Buku’s gaze was firm, saying, “There are things that must be done.”
After the night of drinking, the three departed the Lingxiao Blessed Land to begin their own journeys—
Only Su Nan remained.
Lost and unsure of what to do.
He had no one waiting for him. No mission he must fulfill.
Like an orphan who had crossed the chaotic ancient ages to arrive in this world.
Like an abandoned child…
Since that’s the case, and the family leader appointed him to the Su Family sequence—
Then so be it. That was a path.
If so, then he would walk that path to its limit.
Thus appeared today’s scene—A god-demon descending upon Immortal Peak.
“I request a battle with the First Immortal Sequence!”
Su Nan spoke softly.
But behind him, the divine and demonic phantoms roared as one,
Scattering the flowing clouds from the heavens.
Suddenly, a girl in a green robe stepped in front of the little wooden hut.
Facing Su Nan, she appeared flustered, yet her gaze remained resolute.
“Su Nan, you’re mistaken! There’s no First Immortal Sequence here. This is Brother Changsheng’s residence. Brother Changsheng only carves wooden dolls and folds paper figures.”
“He… he only has the name Changsheng. He’s not the number-one in the sequence!”
“His cultivation… it’s not even as strong as mine…”
She struggled to suppress her fear as she spoke.
Su Nan said nothing, but he did deliberately divert his terrifying aura away from the girl.
“Sigh~”
A faint sigh echoed from within the wooden hut.
Then, a plainly dressed, expressionless young man slowly stepped outside.
The moment he appeared, Su Nan’s gaze immediately locked onto him!
“Truth is, I’m not someone who likes to compete, nor do I crave things all that much. What I want… is simply to live well.”
“But, there are things that just can’t be cast aside.”
“‘First Immortal’—that title was personally bestowed by the Family Leader.”
“If I were to change it to ‘Second Changsheng’…”
His expression grew subtly more animated.
“It just wouldn’t sound as nice.”
“Brother Changsheng… you…”
The green-robed girl looked confused.
She couldn’t believe that the ‘Brother Changsheng’ she had always worried about being bullied… was actually the most mysterious and unfathomable figure of the Su Family—
“Su Changsheng is the First Immortal!”
“What?! No way!! I’ve never even seen him cultivate!”
“My heavens!! This… this is unbelievable!”
Many who had seen Su Changsheng before couldn’t help but exclaim.
“What do you mean he doesn’t cultivate? I always saw him at the martial arena!”
“Nonsense, I saw him in the pill refining chamber. He has a funny personality!”
“Bull! Just yesterday, I saw him in the Martial Dao Tower fighting with an ancient battle spirit. He totally ignored me—so aloof!”
From the way everyone described him, Su Changsheng’s personality seemed to be completely different depending on who you asked!
Next moment—
RUMBLE—!!
An ancient, profound aura exploded from Su Changsheng’s body.
It surged toward the sky, forming a towering figure that faced the divine and demonic phantoms head-on!
That figure was ancient, yet brimming with vitality.
The heavens turned a shade of azure-green!
In that instant, it stood on equal footing with the divine-demonic phantoms.
Su Nan’s face changed.
This Su Changsheng’s cultivation… is definitely not beneath mine!
But then again, to be appointed First in the Sequence by that one… could hardly be a mere coincidence.
A strong battle intent rose in Su Nan’s eyes.
“A duel in the heavens!!” he shouted, leaping into the sky.
His figure pressed down on the world, like a god-demon walking the mortal realm!
But Su Changsheng still stood on the earth.
With a single hand-seal,
An identical figure appeared in the sky—A replica of himself.
The figure—‘Su Changsheng’—pressed its palms together, and with a boom, an ominous aura thundered toward Su Nan!
“Hmph! Puppet techniques? Family brother, are you underestimating me?”
Su Nan snorted coldly.
Faced with the terrifying strike, he casually lifted his hand— and crushed it between his fingers.
Then, both his arms rose—Two opposing forces erupted simultaneously!
“Divine Path Azure Dragon!”
“Demonic Path Perfected Void!”
In an instant, a blazing azure dragon burst from Su Nan’s fist, tearing through all beneath the heavens!
And behind it, a vast demonic shadow followed, ready to annihilate all!
Su Changsheng took a step forward.
Facing that terrifying onslaught, he made a single-hand seal again.
With a thought—the void became an array.
Countless profound runes surfaced in the air.
“Array of Stars and Shifting Cosmos!”
Swoosh—!!
The terrifying punch was swallowed entirely by the array.
Then, behind Su Nan, space began to tremble—
Aoo—!!!
The very same strike he unleashed came roaring back at him from behind through the void.
“Impressive technique!” Su Nan praised, but his face remained unchanged.
Left hand grasped the dragon, right hand suppressed the demon!
The god and demon phantoms howled to the heavens, and obliterated the counterattack!
“Come—battle!!”
“Battle!!!”
Even Su Changsheng, rarely emotional, now showed a rising fighting spirit.
The two figures clashed high above the heavens.
Frightening speed. Limitless strength.
The sun and moon seemed to dim.
Younger disciples with weaker cultivation could not even comprehend what they were witnessing.
Even many of the Su Family elders were stirred by the clash—
Standing to look toward the sky, clicking their tongues in awe.
“Truly terrifying youths… That god-demon Dao is unimaginably fearsome, but this Su Changsheng, despite his low profile, possesses the Longevity Dao and countless killing arrays!!!”
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
“After this battle, who in all the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can still dare call themselves a ‘prodigy’ before them?!”
