Upper Reaches of Time.

Su Chen's expression began to change constantly, displaying a variety of colors. One moment it was filled with sinister intent, the next with divine grace, and then with Buddhist compassion. All sorts of expressions appeared on his face, which twisted and contorted, sending chills down one's spine.

"You can't take my body away!"

Su Chen's icy voice rang out.

It's obvious.

Although the Demon Spirit managed to reclaim the physical body, he was fundamentally incapable of doing so, and the same applied to Su Chen. In other words, one of them had to die.

The Demon Spirit's expression turned cold. "I really underestimated you. But do you think this is the end?"

Suddenly.

A strange Curse Power devoured Su Chen's body. Although the Demon Spirit could not control the physical body, it could still activate its own power, but Su Chen was completely unable to use the power within his body.

This means the Demon Spirit have taken control.

As this power engulfed Su Chen, he saw the world around him begin to undergo tremendous changes.

"Chen Tian, do you think a curse is just a simple curse?"

"This move was designed specifically for you. This is my Curse Domain; you're doomed... Hahahaha."

"Let's continue our game!"

"The Time World will eventually become my farm, and no one can stop it from happening."

A sharp, piercing roar rang out, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

At that moment, the world began to change dramatically, and Su Chen felt as if his world was spinning.

Gradually, light surged in from all around, and Su Chen's eyes snapped open.

Inside this extremely dilapidated house, which was also in a modern style, there was a simple bed, a table next to it covered in filth, a dirty rice cooker steaming inside, and a plate of shredded potatoes next to it.

The room had clearly not been cleaned for a long time, filled with an unpleasant odor, and Su Chen rubbed his nose uncomfortably.

Everything here looks so dirty and messy.

The next moment.

Memories surfaced in my mind again out of thin air.

Zhao Du is a sophomore at South Heaven University. He is from a poor family and lost both his parents at a young age.

A look of seriousness flashed in Su Chen's eyes. "An illusion? Are you trying to trap me here forever?"

"No, illusions shouldn't have any effect on me. Could this be another kind of competition? And what is this comprehension of curses?"

He was more serious than ever before; if something really happened to him this time, it might mean he was really dead.

Is this Curse Domain meant to trap me here, forcing me to endure life's torments and devastation?

If one dies in this space, the Demon Spirit will naturally gain a physical body.

He always felt that things weren't that simple.

Besides, he couldn't have been killed so easily.

Su Chen snapped out of his daze and quickly called out, "System, are you there? System?"

In this situation, his only Trump Cards is the system.

The system interface suddenly appeared before his eyes, but this system was completely different from the previous ones; all the Sign-In items he had accumulated had disappeared.

This is equivalent to the system being refreshed directly, but not completely refreshed.

Su Chen saw that his Sign-In count was still two.

What happened?

Su Chen frowned. The system was also affected?

This is absolutely impossible. Even when I reached the Ancestor God Realm, I still couldn't figure out the origin of the system, so how could I possibly affect it?

Therefore, what we are seeing must be an illusion.

However, this illusion is far from simple. If something happens to me in this illusion, it could very well lead to my failure in the struggle for the physical body.

Is this... a battle of souls?

Before Su Chen could figure out what was going on, a muffled roar of a car engine came from the doorway.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps sounded continuously, and the already dilapidated door was kicked open.

Su Chen looked towards the door and saw twelve people standing there. Most of them were tall, muscular bodyguards, and in the very center stood a young man with a somewhat bewitching face.

"Zhao Du, my name is Ye Tianran, nice to meet you."

The young man wore a sinister smile, looking at Su Chen as if he were a toy.

With just one glance, he knew that the person in front of him was the Demon Spirit.

"You think you can kill me with something like this? That's not enough, is it?"

Su Chen wore a cold smile, his eyes filled with disdain. This illusion could indeed affect him, but if he died, the system would automatically use Resurrection Card, so it posed no threat to him.

The biggest impact is that the Demon Spirit will gain Demon Body, and the two will merge into one. But this is not the end, because with the system, one can become above the Ancestor God given enough time.

Ye Tianran sneered, "Who said I was going to kill you? What I want... is to devour your soul!"

"For the Demon Body to be perfectly controlled, we must devour each other. So this show has only just begun. If you fail in this domain, your soul will be devoured by me."

"You don't even know the basic Rule, and I set the Rule for this domain. This is destined to be an unfair battle, a battle you are destined to lose."

After saying that, Ye Tianran sneered, turned around, and left.

His purpose in coming here seemed to be simply to suppress Su Chen.

A cold glint appeared in Su Chen's eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The next moment, the Power of Time surged within him. Although it was only a trace, it allowed him to grasp the Rule of this realm.

This is the power he can barely muster at the moment.

After a while, Su Chen opened his eyes again.

I see.

This realm is somewhat like a battle of Rule. In this realm, the two play different roles, and the way to fight is to completely crush the other, leaving them with nothing.

If one side is defeated, they will lose everything in reality.

Just like the world today, that means destroying the Ye Family, to which Ye Tianran belongs.

The Ye Family is the world's largest and richest family.

No wonder he said it was an unfair battle; it truly was. He chose the location and his identity, and with such a miserable start, how could he possibly bring down the Ye Family in the world?

However... he did overlook one problem.

That's the system!

The system on Su Chen's body had not completely disappeared; it had simply been refreshed within this system space.

"Sign-In!"

[Ding! Sign-In successful. Congratulations on receiving 300 billion Huaxia Coin.]

[Ding, Sign-In successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Congenital Sacred Body.]

Upon hearing the voice from the system in his mind, Su Chen's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with mockery.

Looks like you've dug your own grave!

"Use the Congenital Sacred Body!"

In an instant, a very mysterious energy emanated from Su Chen's body, making his physical body dozens of times stronger than before. Although it wasn't as terrifying as in the Cultivation World, Su Chen could still be described as invulnerable to blades and spears.

You must understand that the Rule of this world prevent cultivation, which means that I am practically invincible in combat right now.
