How could it be?!!!

At this moment, everyone present had only one thought left in their minds.

The silent horror and trembling terror gnawed at everyone’s soul like a soul-devouring worm, sending chills down their spines.

Especially Yang Su, who previously looked down on Su Chen, now found her scalp tingling.

She was sure that her own strength was about the same as Yu Wu’s, perhaps slightly stronger. Yu Wu was definitely a super genius able to surpass one minor realm, yet Su Chen killed him in an instant.

It’s imaginable that if she faced Su Chen, she might not be his match.

"Not even five hundred years old, a Half-Step Divine Master, a martial cultivator from the Minor Thousand Worlds..." As Yang Su considered these three obvious labels on Su Chen, her heart couldn’t help but tremble. Under these labels, possessing the strength of the Fourth Level of Divine Lord Realm Middle to Later Stage, there’s probably no second person even in the Grand Cosmos World, right?

"Impossible, it’s impossible, why is it like this?" Di Jie was breaking down, shaking his head as if wishing to shake it off entirely. He couldn’t accept it, couldn’t accept it at all, even in death.

Why was Su Chen still alive?

Why was Su Chen’s strength like the endless abyss of the sea, unfathomable?

"Trash!!! Damn trash!" Di Jie cursed Yu Wu in his heart, thinking that it was because Yu Wu was too useless to kill Su Chen.

Di Jie stared at Su Chen, his blood-red, eerie eyes full of resentment and hatred, almost materializing. This suffocating frustration, hating so much to devour his flesh and blood yet being unable to do anything, left him on the verge of losing control at all times.

"Great Elder, what do we do now?" The Divine Lord Realm Third Level middle-aged man standing next to Yu Zhang spoke quietly, his voice slightly trembling.

This middle-aged man named Yu Hao was the instructor of the Yu Family, specifically teaching the younger generations martial arts cultivation. Within the Yu Family, he held some status.

Even though Yu Hao was also in the Divine Lord Realm Third Level, his actual combat power was significantly lower than Yu Wu’s.

Since even Yu Wu was killed instantly by Su Chen, Yu Hao instinctively thought about what his outcome would be if he confronted Su Chen, and his back was drenched in cold sweat at the thought.

Behind him, the hundreds of Yu Family members had somber expressions, scrutinizing Su Chen intensely. The previous disdain, amusement, and contempt for Su Chen had long vanished.

Even the Minor Thousand Worlds produce monsters, don’t they?!

"Young man, you’re even more outstanding than I imagined. You’ve killed Yu Wu, and logically speaking, I should kill you in return to account for the family. However, as I said, I appreciate you. If you are willing to join the Yu Family, the matter of you killing Yu Wu will be wiped clean. I can even accept you as my direct disciple, as I have no disciple till this day," Yu Zhang said, ignoring Yu Hao and looking deeply at Su Chen, his voice filled with sincerity.

Yu Zhang had genuinely developed a fondness for talent.

Especially with Su Chen’s ability to instantly kill Yu Wu, he was even more impressive than he imagined.

As Yu Zhang spoke, it was like a bone-chilling wind sweeping through the depths of everyone’s hearts present, even the already collapsed Di Jie shuddered more intensely.

Even Yang Su’s expression changed repeatedly.

A heavenly pie has really fallen, a pie bigger than anyone could imagine.

Rationally, everyone thought, Su Chen should agree now, shouldn’t he? He should be willing to take the step to ascend to heaven, right? Since Yu Zhang cherished him so much, refusing would be inconceivably foolish.

However.

The next moment.

Su Chen shook his head.

Yes.

He refused!

He refused without any hesitation.

The Martial Dao Heart and personal pride are naturally a large part of the reason.

Moreover, Su Chen was very aware of himself. Holding too many Supreme Treasures, the less he joins these familial powers, the better.

As for the martial cultivation resources the Yu Family could provide, Su Chen lacked nothing, possessing the Divine Mansion, True Fire Body Refinement, Divine Demon Body Refinement, the Three Great Cosmic Treasures, etc. He lacked for nothing in martial cultivation resources.

As Su Chen shook his head.

The temperature within the Imperial Realm plummeted as if dropping a hundred degrees, that icy chill really seemed to freeze breathing, heartbeats, vision, and thoughts.

That icy chill seemed to freeze even the Triple Void into solidification, as if time itself had stopped moving.

Many people looked again at Su Chen, and the condescending gaze, like looking at an idiot, transformed into admiration.

When an idiot truly becomes so stubborn and fearless to an astonishing extent, it is admirable.

At least, everyone present felt that if they were Su Chen, they couldn’t do it.

Not even in death.

"Are you really not afraid of death?" Contrary to expectations, Yu Zhang did not erupt in anger, nor did his evil Qi or killing intent show. Instead, he became unusually calm, looking at Su Chen with curiosity in his slightly weathered voice.

"Afraid." Su Chen smiled lightly; no one is unafraid of death.

"If you’re afraid, why do you still refuse? You should know, I have invited you repeatedly, and you have refused repeatedly. The only consequence is death." Yu Zhang said quietly, his voice tinged with regret.

He truly admired Su Chen immensely.

If Su Chen were willing to join the Yu Family and become his disciple, he could even offer higher conditions.

Unfortunately, he could see that Su Chen was simply unwilling, and no further conditions would help.

Without giving Su Chen a chance to speak, Yu Zhang continued, "Although it’s unfair for me to take action personally, but if you truly seek death!!! Then I must act personally!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

There was no one among the hundreds of Yu Family members present who could match Su Chen!

With even Yu Wu dead at Su Chen’s hands, Yu Zhang was forced to take action himself.

When Yu Zhang mentioned acting personally, the surroundings filled with palpable dread.

Yu Zhang was an old monster at the Peak of the Fifth Level of Divine Lord Realm!

This kind of old monster standing before you is an immense pressure, an indescribable shock of despair.

To act personally?

Terrifying.

Even Yang Su couldn’t help but feel her scalp burst and tear, facing the attack of an old monster at the Peak of the Fifth Level of Divine Lord Realm was truly an indescribable despair!

At least, she didn’t dare, not even in death.

Su Chen found it a bit absurd, being afraid of death equated with being afraid of Yu Zhang? Yu Zhang equals death? You’re overthinking it, right? In Su Chen’s view, Yu Zhang’s strength was indeed terrifying, but he still had the confidence to kill him, that’s all!

"May I offer you a suggestion?" Su Chen paused thoughtfully for a moment, then spoke seriously.
