Several months later, Su Heng clearly sensed that his relationship with his children had grown much closer.

At the same time, he learned of several talented figures among their descendants.

For example, Su Yuxuan, the Lineage Head of his branch, was descended from his second son, Su Chuan.

Although Su Yuxuan had never participated in the Universe Peak Genius Battle or the Battle of the Strong, fortuitous opportunities gained while wandering the universe had allowed his progress in comprehending the laws to surpass even Su Chuan's.

He was now truly just one step away from becoming immortal!

"Alright, go make your preparations. In three years, I will personally take you to the Initial Universe." With the discussion nearly over, Su Heng spoke to the four of them.

"Yes, Father." After hearing Su Heng's words, the four left the manor.

Given their realms and status, they all bore important responsibilities within the Su family. Naturally, they could not simply leave whenever they wished.

Within a certain starfield of the Noah Universe Kingdom.

A massive floating city.

"So that brat from the Su family really broke through to immortality. Tsk, what good luck!" said a winged man seated upon a throne, his expression ugly.

Below him knelt a purple-haired woman clad in battle armor.

"Master, should we speak with the Su family? According to our intelligence, after that Su family prince broke through to immortality, his strength should be around King-level as well." Seeing the winged man's grim expression, the purple-haired woman cautiously asked.

"Speak? About what? He is merely someone who was stuck for tens of millions of years before finally breaking through. Even if his divine power has reached King-level, how advanced could his secret techniques possibly be?" the winged man said disdainfully.

As an ordinary King-level immortal, he actually knew very little about Su Heng.

As for the information spread by alien races on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, there was even less chance that a King-level immortal who had not been to the Extraterritorial Battlefield for hundreds of millions of years would know it!

Thus, in his eyes, Su Heng was merely someone with limited talent but fairly good luck, just like Night Candle King!

"Alright, then." The purple-haired woman sighed inwardly. Why had her master become so arrogant after reaching King-level?

"Spirit Feather King!"

At that moment, an enormous voice suddenly rang out from beyond the floating city.

The voice spread throughout the floating city, and countless humans living within it curiously looked up.

In the void beyond the floating city, a young man in white robes had appeared at some unknown time.

Whoosh, whoosh.

Several streaks of light flew out from within the floating city and stopped several hundred kilometers away from the white-robed youth.

"Who are you, sir? Openly provoking my Spirit Feather City is a serious crime!" said the leading Marquis-level immortal coldly.

"Too noisy!"

The white-robed youth was naturally Su Heng, who had returned to the Noah Universe Kingdom.

However, after settling the Su family's internal matters, he had decided to deal with the Su family's enemies and had simply come here.

Facing a Marquis-level immortal and several Immortal Military Lords, Su Heng merely gave a cold shout and pointed a finger at them.

Endless divine power poured from his body, and the humans within the floating city felt as though the apocalypse were about to descend!

"Stop!"

An angry roar came from the depths of the floating city.

But it was ultimately one step too late. Su Heng's divine power enveloped that group of Immortal Gods, followed by a faint explosion.

Of the several figures that had been there, only one remained, and even he wore an expression of terror.

If not for the undying body possessed after reaching Marquis-level, he would already have been dead. Yet even with an undying body, fifty percent of his body had now been annihilated!

"Su Heng!"

A flash of green light appeared, and a winged man materialized beside the Marquis-level immortal. He was glaring furiously at Su Heng.

"So you finally dared to come out, Spirit Feather King. I thought you intended to keep hiding inside that turtle shell forever."

Faced with the winged man's anger, Su Heng merely spoke calmly.

"Huff, huff." The winged man, Spirit Feather King, stared at Su Heng with icy eyes. Yet he did not act rashly, instead asking coldly, "They are all human immortals. Why did you attack them?"

Only after sensing the divine power Su Heng had released just now did he learn Su Heng's current strength. King-level pinnacle—he was absolutely at the King-level pinnacle!

As for anything higher, he could not judge it. Or perhaps he simply did not dare imagine it!

"How ridiculous. Spirit Feather King, when you killed the third ancestor of my Su family that day, did you ever consider that you were both human immortals?" Su Heng's expression turned cold as well.

"That was within a universe secret realm! Your ancestor died because he was unwilling to give up that opportunity. Who can he blame but himself?" Spirit Feather King frowned slightly.

"I see." Su Heng seemed to nod in agreement, but a longsword abruptly appeared in his palm.

"If you can withstand my next sword strike, I can spare you as well!"

The instant his words fell, Su Heng mobilized all his divine power. Endless Law of Wood wrapped around the longsword.

Whoosh!

With one slash, the Power of Nirvana and the power of space intertwined!

I'll die!

The terrifying aura filled Spirit Feather King with incomparable dread. He immediately burned his entire divine body.

His divine body was only at the elementary King-level, just over ten thousand times the strength of a World Master. Burning all his divine power granted only a hundredfold increase, reaching one million times the strength of a World Master!

"Block it!"

Spirit Feather King roared as he unleashed a supreme technique he had created over hundreds of millions of years.

Boom!

Sizzle!

Spirit Feather King stared blankly at his own body. Boundless divine power and laws were annihilating his divine body.

When he looked again at the white-robed figure in the distance, all Spirit Feather King saw in the end was a mocking smile on Su Heng's face.

With a difference between over ten million times the strength of a World Master and one million times, how could Spirit Feather King possibly block it?

Pfft!

His divine body was annihilated, and Spirit Feather King's body turned to dust. Only a World Ring and other remnants remained where he had stood.

Seeing this, Su Heng collected the World Ring and all the other remnants, then looked toward the surviving Marquis-level immortal.

"From today onward, Spirit Feather City is to be completely disbanded!"

This Marquis-level immortal was not Spirit Feather King's slave, but merely a companion who had helped build their faction. Therefore, after Spirit Feather King fell, he had not died alongside him.

After saying that, Su Heng ignored the Marquis-level immortal's reaction and took a single step.

As space rippled, his figure vanished from this patch of void.

In the void one light-year away, Su Heng appeared and swiftly immersed his consciousness in the Virtual Universe.

Spirit Feather King had been, after all, a human King-level immortal and a member of the Hong Alliance. Since Su Heng had killed him, he naturally had to give the human race an explanation.

Fortunately, because he had informed Mother Ancestor in advance, Su Heng did not face much difficulty this time. The only price he had to pay was some assets.
