Chapter 1462: Horrified Mo Duona (3)
Inside the Martial Hall.
Su Yu's aura had reached an incredibly high level, instantly propelling him into the strongest person in the room.
His lips curled into a smile.
It was an incomparably bright and genial smile.
The smile of a saint.
"Thank you, everyone."
With that, he sent a kick out. Crushing Mountainsea.
Time!
He finally comprehended the true essence of the Time technique. The Silk Destroying King was indeed not to be underestimated. This technique was not suited for anyone apart from Pseudo Invincibles and actual Invincibles as it required the power of time to work properly.
With a single kick, everyone felt their reality blurring, as though they had been brought back to the previous moment.
Even Zhankui was forced to take a step back. Meanwhile, the others were sent flying back to their previous positions from a moment ago. With a flicker, Su Yu appeared before one of them. After flashing his target a wide smile, he flipped his book open and took his target inside.
A nearby ninth-stage Sunmoon roared and charged toward him with desperation. He merely sent a casual kick to reverse the time of that Sunmoon.
Su Yu sighed with amazement. The Silk Destroying King...was no pushover.
Incredible.
Only now did he truly comprehend the essence of this technique.
At the moment, he was aiming to consume instead of kill. He would only remove their flesh and blood essence, retaining their seas of willpower to prevent the appearance of death spirits.
With a flicker, he appeared before another genius. As he brought his book down, the genius resisted violently, to the extent of taking a heaven weapon out. Alas, it was pointless. The genius was instantly taken into the book.
"Why bother resisting?"
Not far away, Taihe and the other dao protectors hurriedly grabbed their respective young geniuses in alarm and started flying toward the throne. They were trying to open the gate and flee.
However, Su Yu was too fast. With the boost of the blood essence and his Time technique, he was capable of moving far faster than before. After taking one step, he grabbed Taihe and crushed Taihe's body. Then, the book swallowed Taihe.
Dao Cheng hurriedly retreated in alarm. Su Yu merely smiled. Could he escape?
Not far away, Zhankui roared in desperation, "Don't run! Kill him!"
The ninth-stage Sunmoons did not dare to waste any time. After regrouping with Zhankui, they charged toward Su Yu.
Dao Cheng exhaled in relief upon seeing that. He knew that Su Yu was right behind him. But the others were coming.
That thought had barely crossed his mind when Su Yu's voice rang out in his ears, "Do you think that I'll spare you? Wrong. You are too threatening. I think you should stay in my book instead."
At that, Dao Cheng roared and manifested an incomparably powerful character. That character was not far from becoming a Sunmoon character. When it appeared, Su Yu's vision blurred as he saw the future. He saw his death. He saw many things.
Boom!
With a punch, he blasted the character apart before taking the broken pieces of the character into his sea of willpower. He said, "This is a good character. You're not worthy of it."
Then, he crushed Dao Cheng's body before stuffing Dao Cheng into his book. Inside the book, he suppressed Dao Cheng's sea of willpower. If someone were too weak, one wouldn't even be qualified to own something too good.
"NOO!" Dao Cheng roared in desperation, "I know a lot of secrets! Don't kill me, Su Yu!"
Su Yu merely smiled before sealing Dao Cheng away.
Sparing him?
Sure. He would strip everything about Dao Cheng before taking his time to kill Dao Cheng. Or he could simply feed Dao Cheng to the little furball.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yu had captured three geniuses and one ninth-stage Sunmoon. The others trembled in fear.
Xuan Wuji started resorting to threats, "Su Yu, are you trying to make an enemy out of the immortals?"
"..."
Su Yu blanked out slightly before saying, "If my memory serves right, Tiangu ordered a kill order against me. Are we not enemies already?"
With a confused expression, he asked, "Was Tiangu not speaking when he made that announcement? Was he merely farting? Do those words count?"
What a ridiculous threat to make. Xuan Wuji was rendered completely speechless.
With a flicker, Su Yu appeared before Zhankui. This time, he was attacking directly instead of circling around Zhankui. He roared, "Sky Sundering!"
"Heaven Suppressing Fist!"
"Battling Invincible!"
Numerous explosions erupted as the two fought. After creating enough new wounds on Zhankui to force Zhankui into desperation, Su Yu turned around suddenly and punched a ninth-stage Sunmoon before dragging that Sunmoon into his book.
The terrified Zhankui started retreating.
Meanwhile, Su Yu was taking it slow. He couldn't make Zhankui too desperate.
A Pseudo Invincible like Zhankui could very well have a dangerous trump card hidden. To prevent Zhankui from using the final trump card, he couldn't extinguish the tiny bit of hope left in Zhankui's heart.
Thus, Su Yu returned his focus to the others. One genius after another was consumed by his book. In the blink of an eye, only Xuan Wuji was left. As for the ninth-stage Sunmoons, only one remained out of five. The sole survivor had joined up with Zhankui and Xuan Wuji. All three had a look of despair on their faces.
Up in the air, Yang Hu was getting desperate as well. He was attacking Mo Duona madly, to the point that Mo Duona had lost nearly half his body. However, Mo Duona did not relent. As he fought on, he shouted, "Pick up the pace, Su Yu! I can't hold on much longer!"
Since he had promised to keep Yang Hu occupied, he would keep his word. That was his pride as a genius. But Su Yu was still fighting in such a leisurely manner. Thus, Mo Duona was quite angered by that.
Just then, Zhankui roared, "I won't hold back anymore!"
His aura surged, looking like he was about to detonate himself. Noticing that, Su Yu hesitated slightly. At that, Zhankui took the chance to throw a punch and blasted a ninth-stage Sunmoon nearby apart.
Not even the sea of willpower of that Sunmoon survived.
Rumble!
A moon dropped. At the same time, a Pseudo Invincible death spirit appeared in the hall.
A ninth-stage Sunmoon had died. This was the result.
Zhankui said, "Don't force us, Su Yu! Otherwise, I will lure more Invincible death spirits out! We will die together—"
Before he could finish his words, Su Yu tossed over a hundred ancient city medallions out.
The Pseudo Invincible death spirit had a tiny bit of intelligence. He looked at Su Yu and said in a robotic manner, "Not enough..."
"How greedy."
Su Yu laughed with amusement and tossed out a few more dozen medallions. Only then did the death spirit leave with satisfaction.
"..."
Zhankui was shouting madly. What? How was this happening? He had never tried this before as he had never gotten his hands on so many ancient city medallions.
Xuan Wuji's desperation grew as he shouted, "Yang Hu! Leave! Take me with you!"
This was getting very dangerous.
They had no way of defeating Su Yu. Hearing that, Su Yu merely smiled and said, "You guys have wasted too many of my treasures."
Then, he sent his book flying toward Xuan Wuji.
At the same time, he charged Zhankui. At Su Yu's approach, Zhankui threatened, "I'll detonate myself! That will summon an Invincible death spirit! Such a death spirit is smart enough not to accept your bribe! Your ancient city medallions won't work!"
This was Zhankui's sole option. Since Su Yu had refrained from destroying the seas of willpower he had collected, it was clear that Su Yu was worried about the death spirits as well. Or to be precise, he was wary of the death sovereigns.
"Su Yu! Let me go! I won't interfere in your business!" He started begging, "Release me or I'll detonate myself! Su Yu, my death will summon a death sovereign. All of us will die! I'm serious!"
Yang Hu joined in as well, "Su Yu! Mo Duona! So many have died! Release us and we will swear not to expose anything about this! Otherwise, our deaths might summon two death sovereigns here. Can you deal with that?"
This was troublesome. Death sovereigns might not care about ancient city medallions. Even if they were willing to accept ancient city medallions, would Su Yu have enough to bribe them?
However, Su Yu merely laughed and said, "I love gambling. I will gamble on the fact that you won't have the courage to detonate yourselves. With me here, you might still be able to keep your seas of willpower. As long as you're still alive, hope remains."
Then, he appeared before Zhankui and threw a punch. The punch landed and further injured Zhankui.
He roared in fear, "No! I will do it! Don't force me! Su Yu! Don't force me!"
Meanwhile, Su Yu started sending some undulations through his death qi connection. He was trying to ask if Xing Yue could be the one to come out. If possible, he wanted Xing Yue to be the death sovereign to appear. He was quite good at handling her. If not, he might need to disguise himself as a death spirit to fool the other death sovereigns. He wasn't sure if that would work.
Heavenly laws.
Everything here operated in accordance with the laws. When lives were taken, death spirits would appear. Was there a way for him to prevent the death sovereigns from killing him through the laws?
In the ancient cities, the danger would be eliminated after three days. What about this place?
Suddenly, Mo Duona said, "Don't worry. I have a way to deal with that. Since I've chosen this place to make my move, I naturally have a solution for this threat."
Su Yu did not dare to place his trust in Mo Duona. He continued sending undulations through his death qi connection, telling Xing Yue to come out, convincing her that this was her best chance to kill him.
***
Xing Yue could feel the unique undulations coming through her death qi connection.
The other death sovereigns did not notice anything, but Xing Yue was connected to Su Yu. After receiving his message, her face turned frosty. Was he provoking her again? Definitely. He was provoking her! This was intolerable.
She stood up in anger and declared, "I'll be leaving later. That guy has fallen under my control. He will follow my order and kill a Pseudo Invincible soon. I need to leave and lead him personally."
The other death sovereigns were overjoyed to hear that. One of them asked, "Did you succeed in converting him?"
"I'm near completion. It won't be long. I can complete it faster out there."
"Good. Since he's already taking orders from you, it won't be long before he's fully converted."
The death sovereigns started celebrating their coming freedom.
Meanwhile, Xing Yue snorted inwardly. What were these fools celebrating? Leaving? Dream on. It wouldn't happen. As for that damn Su Yu, she would never spare him.
She had no choice but to leave and distance herself from these death sovereigns. She was worried that these death sovereigns would really notice her weakness if this continued. At the very least, Su Yu wouldn't kill her. That guy wouldn't bear to let her die and lose his source of death qi.
But the more she thought about it, the angrier she was. How...had she fallen so low that she had to rely on that bastard for survival? She was furious! She sent some undulations through the death qi connection, promising Su Yu that she would leave and kill him.
***
Inside the hall, Su Yu grinned.
Wow.
So she could really leave?
Amazing.
With one death sovereign out, the others would be blocked from leaving. This, too, was in accordance with the laws. With Xing Yue here, she could even help him out with Yang Hu.
Zhankui continued roaring, "Su Yu, don't force me! I'll detonate myself!"
"Go ahead."
"I'll do it!"
"Go ahead. As a Pseudo Invincible, why do you talk too much? Detonate yourself or I'll kill you."
Su Yu threw another punch, breaking even more bones of Zhankui. Finally, Zhankui grew tired of this humiliation and detonated himself.
"You wanted this!"
With that final roar of his, a massive moon dropped from the sky. This wasn't his original intention, but Su Yu had forced him to do this. In that case, he would drag Su Yu down with him.
Su Yu hurriedly retreated to avoid the explosion. Inside the hall, an Invincible death spirit manifested.
Just as Mo Duona was about to do something, Su Yu laughed heartily and said, "My dearest lord, I've missed you! You're finally here!"
"..."
Silence descended.
A tiny bit of Zhankui's consciousness remained. With boundless indignation and confusion, he gazed upon the cloaked death sovereign.
With a frosty expression, Xing Yue asked, "Su Yu, are you provoking me?"
"Not at all, my beloved lord. We're family! How am I provoking you?" Su Yu said, "Lord, this immortal Pseudo Invincible has been bullying me. Please kill him for me, Lord! He's disrespecting you! He's bullying your loyal subordinate!"
Both Yang Hu and Mo Duona froze.
Holy shit!
Even a death sovereign...was standing on Su Yu's side?
This was the Luminous Domain Mansion!
How did he get this death sovereign to stand on his side?
They were stunned. Updates are released by Nove1Fire.net
Noticing that the death sovereign was indeed not attacking Su Yu, Zhankui's consciousness dissipated with boundless fury and indignation.
"I can't accept this!"
Nobody would be able to accept dying like this.
Mo Duona's jaw dropped. Yang Hu's eyes widened. Right at that moment, Xing Yue charged toward Yang Hu. She couldn't allow anyone to witness her humiliation and survive. This was a situation where the laws would allow her to kill freely. She could kill everyone in her presence. Thus, she had to kill these people to silence them.
Instantly, Yang Hu found himself covered by a dense layer of death qi.
He roared in despair, "No! This isn't happening! Death sovereign...no,no, my beloved lord, please—"
"Impudent!"
Xing Yue was further triggered by that. What was he calling her? She swore not to spare this person. Su Yu was the only person allowed to call her that. Because she couldn't do anything to him. But she would not allow anyone else to humiliate a great death sovereign like her.
Boom!
With her cloak, she severed the River of Time. With a single palm attack, she nearly converted Yang Hu into a death sovereign then and there. After about seven or eight palms, Yang Hu's body was blasted apart.
Su Yu hurriedly shouted, "No! Please leave the sea of willpower behind..."
He dashed forth and took the sea of willpower into his book. As for Xuan Wuji, he had long been taken into the book.
Beside him, Mo Duona was sweating heavily. He had never been so shocked before. He had never seen a living person flirting with a death sovereign before. More importantly, that death sovereign had indeed helped Su Yu kill a Pseudo Invincible.
Did he discover a big secret? Was he about to get silenced as well? After absorbing the sea of willpower, Su Yu stood beside Xing Yue. The sight of that filled Mo Duona's mind with numerous ideas. He nearly yelled in fear.
Was it really possible for a human and a death spirit to get together?
Chapter 1463: Ruthless Su Yu (1)
With Yang Hu's defeat, only three people were left in the hall.
Or to be precise, a death spirit, a devil, and a half death spirit were left.
Standing beside Xing Yue, Su Yu smiled and said, "Lord, let's just kill this guy while you're at it. This way, we can prevent the myriad races from finding out about our relationship."
"..."
Xing Yue stared at Su Yu coldly. Relationship?nThere was no such thing!
"Are you ordering me around?"
Seeing that Xing Yue was on the verge of raging, Su Yu coughed and bowed, "My respected lord sovereign, I beseech you to kill this man to prevent the myriad races from finding out about our close relationship. I am your most intimate subordinate."
At that, Xing Yue snorted. Mo Duona, who was dripping with sweat, hurriedly said, "Wait!"
He knew this would happen. Su Yu was brutal enough not to let go of a chance to kill him as well.
Mo Duona hurriedly took out a drop of black blood. He said, "Respected lord sovereign, this is a gift I have prepared for you. Please follow the ancient laws and depart upon accepting this gift."
Su Yu looked over with surprise. The drop of blood was so dark it looked more like a drop of ink. It also emanated faint traces of death qi. However, it didn't feel quite similar to death spirit blood essence.
Was this Mo Duona's trump card? What was this?
Xing Yue stared at the drop of blood. After a short moment, she frowned and said, "Death blood? Where did you get it?"
Mo Duona was surprised. Wasn't she supposed to take it and leave? Were death spirits gossipy as well?
However, he had no choice but to explain, "Lord, this is the blood a previous Pseudo Emperor of the devil race obtained from the Celestial River of Death back then. According to the ancient laws, you can't kill me after accepting this blood."
Yes. The laws. The laws here were slightly different than the laws outside. Simply put, the death spirits here could be bribed. They could be paid off with ancient city medallions.
Most treasures wouldn't satisfy death spirits. In any case, most death spirits weren't smart enough to accept those treasures. However, death sovereigns were different. They were willing to participate in equal exchanges. In fact, Mo Duona had been prepared to deal with death spirits before carrying out this plan. Xing Yue looked at the blood longingly, seemingly on the verge of accepting.
Just then, Su Yu said, "Lord, you will need to leave after taking it. I suggest you forget about it. Just injure him heavily. If the laws do not allow you to take the blood, I can kill him and gift the blood to you instead."
Realization struck Xing Yue.
Right!
Once again, Mo Duona started sweating. He stared at Su Yu with astonishment. He had prepared for all sorts of situations, but he had not expected Su Yu to be close to a death sovereign. More importantly, Su Yu looked very close to this death sovereign. There seemed to be a special relationship between them.
Yes, the laws would prevent the death sovereign from killing him after he offered his gift. But Su Yu was here as well. Mo Duona was sweating. He wasn't scared...No, that wasn't true. He was slightly scared.
More importantly, he didn't know what to believe anymore.
Why was a random death sovereign someone close to Su Yu? He hurriedly said, "Wait! Su Yu, this cooperation will benefit you as well! I wouldn't have looked for you otherwise! Remember this! I didn't make things difficult for you even after finding out about your identity!"
Mo Duona was proud and arrogant.
He was so arrogant that he would not deign to kill those weaker than him. He rarely laid hands on weaklings. He had the strength to back his arrogance. He did not fear death. He was unwilling to bow to anyone. However, he was facing Su Yu.
Yes. Su Yu.
Someone younger, stronger, prouder, and more talented.
Someone who had escaped numerous hopeless situations again and again.
Someone who had risen amid one disaster after another.
A human abandoned by the human race. A human who had been able to gather other backers. A human backed by Invincibles, Pseudo Invincibles, and even death spirits... A human the myriad races wanted dead yet still alive. He was unkillable. He would always rise again. Again and again, those attempting to kill him died.
Thus, Su Yu was the sole person Mo Duona respected. Geniuses like them would not respect even Invincibles. For them, it was only a matter of time before they were Invincibles as well.
The Invincibles, who had offended them, would need to kill them now or die to them in the future. Such was the thought of these geniuses.
Such arrogance was not reserved for those who were freaks as well. Thus, Mo Duona was willing to bow to Su Yu. He said, "Su Yu, I am serious about this! I am sincerely seeking cooperation with you!" Latest content publıshed on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Before Su Yu could say anything, Xing Yue started raging. He...was begging Su Yu instead of her! How dare he? What was the meaning of this? Was he looking down on her?
Definitely!
In her fury, Xing Yue threw a palm attack at Mo Duona. Mo Duona was alarmed. What was this?
"Lord, the death blood..."
Mo Duona retreated and reminded Xing Yue that he had offered the treasure. This was in line with the laws.
"A great death sovereign will never be bound by these things."
Xing Yue roared furiously, but she was still staring at the drop of blood longingly.
Su Yu laughed and said, "Just kill him, Lord. It's fine. Even if the laws prevent you from picking up the treasure after that, I'm here. I can loot the corpse for you."
"..."
That was driving Mo Duona crazy.
He knew that Su Yu was the key here. He said, "Su Yu! This will benefit you greatly! I know how you can get the nine-leaf skylotus!"
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"Please tell the great lord to hold back..."
Su Yu raised his voice, "Are you bargaining with me? What do you take my lord as? Who am I to stop her? Lord Xing Yue will naturally make an informed decision after hearing what you have to say. How dare you insult my lord? Lord, kill him!"
Originally, Xing Yue was quite unhappy about this. Why must she kill just because Su Yu was saying so? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
But these words greatly improved her mood. She snorted and said, "I don't need your advice. I can decide what to do for myself."
Su Yu said, "Yes, Lord! You're right!"
He now understood the way to keep Xing Yue under control. She only cared about her face. It would be rude of him to keep making her lose face. He might need more help from her in the future.
Mo Duona was relieved to see that Xing Yue had stopped approaching him. He took the chance to say, "Su Yu, can we talk outside? This isn't a good place to talk..."
Su Yu disagreed, "No. This is a good place to talk. With my lord's appearance, the residence has been locked. This is different from the ancient cities where even Sunmoons can lock the cities."
At that, Su Yu blanked out slightly before muttering, "Right...sealing the residence. In that case...the nine-leaf skylotus..."
He stared at Xing Yue.
Mo Duona knew what Su Yu was thinking about. he said, "That won't work. The moment the skylotus blooms, it will break through all seals. It is related to timespace. That is not something the residence can control."
Thus, Su Yu should forget about using Xing Yue to snatch the skylotus. Once again, Mo Duona wiped his sweat. He had to make that clear. He had to keep himself useful or Su Yu would kill him. Since he had decided to cooperate with Su Yu, he had naturally done some research about Su Yu.
Xing Yue said, "That's right. Also, don't dream of getting my help, Su Yu. That won't happen. I am a great death sovereign. You're merely one of my half death spirits."
Su Yu merely gave a perfunctory reply, "Yes, yes, yes. You're right, Lord."
Why was she calling herself a great death sovereign all the time? What was so great about her? If she were so great, she wouldn't have died.
Mo Duona suddenly realized something else. He grew even more alarmed.
This was the death sovereign who had converted Su Yu!
Holy shit!
What did this signify?
He reached a certain conclusion. Xing Yue had traversed the dangerous Death Realm all the way to the mansion just to help Su Yu.
Holy shit!
How...terrifying.
Mo Duona was aware of how dangerous the Death Realm was. Even death sovereigns could die traversing the Death Realm. However, Su Yu's death sovereign had come personally.
Just to help him.
She must have fought many death sovereigns to exit the tunnel. All death sovereigns were territorial. She wouldn't have been able to exit the tunnel without fighting the existing death sovereigns here.
Numerous thoughts emerged in Mo Duona's mind.
From only a few words, he imagined numerous dramatic scenes.
Xing Yue and Su Yu...To save him, Xing Yue had converted Su Yu into a resident. Since then, she had been protecting Su Yu. Perhaps even Su Yu's ability to recruit the stone statues was related to Xing Yue.
No wonder.
No wonder Su Yu could transform into a death spirit. No wonder Su Yu wouldn't die even with so much death qi in his body.
So that was how it was.
Mo Duona was touched by this love story.
If Su Yu wasn't so brutal, and if Xing Yue wasn't so scary, he would have wished their love a happy ending.
This was the type of love even a devil like him longed for.
He stared at the two with envy and admiration.
A love across races...no, a love across life and death.
He had seen love across races before. But love across life and death...was too rare.
Chapter 1464: Ruthless Su Yu (2)
Su Yu stared at Mo Duona in stupefaction. What was that fool thinking? What was that look in that fool's eyes? Why was that fool looking at him like that?
Was the fool scared?
Was that the case?
Xing Yue was staring at Mo Duona coldly. She did not like that look in Mo Duona's eyes. She didn't feel any malice in those eyes, but something felt off. She greatly disliked that feeling.
Fortunately, Mo Duona did not stare at them for long. He quickly schooled his face, inhaled deeply, and said, "Su Yu, stop thinking about killing me. It will benefit you to let me leave. I do not hold any malice toward you. You won't gain any benefits from killing me."
Su Yu sneered, "Benefits? Do you think I can't snatch the nine-leaf skylotus without you? What a joke. I am capable of things you can't even imagine. Why do you think He Tu is here? How did you think those outside learned of his presence? All of this is merely a part of my plan. I did all that to sow chaos. Without me, things would have been a lot calmer in here."
Mo Duona was not surprised. He said, "I guessed it."
Meanwhile, Xing Yue blanked out. Holy shit!
So He Tu was here because of him? She had the urge to shout at someone. Since he could get He Tu into the mansion, why didn't he do the same for her? When did he get involved with He Tu?
Suddenly, she felt threatened.
What was the meaning of this? Was Su Yu finding her death qi insufficient? Was he about to switch to He Tu? Was he defecting?
Xing Yue roared furiously, "Su Yu, don't even dream of killing me! I won't die so easily! Do you think you will have peace after making He Tu your converter? Dream on! You don't know how treacherous He Tu is!"
"..."
Both Su Yu and Mo Duona were stunned by that sudden outburst. Mo Duona muttered, "He Tu...was a male when he was alive..."
Whatever. Since Su Yu could love across life and death, what was gender for him? Was something like gender even applicable for death spirits?
That was probably not something Su Yu cared about. One should not make the mistake of thinking that death spirits were good-looking. Death spirits were essentially rotting corpses. It didn't matter how good-looking one was when one was alive. After becoming a death spirit, one would not be good-looking anymore.
If Su Yu could tolerate even the looks of death spirits, gender was naturally not an issue for him.
Mo Duona felt his horizons broadened by Su Yu.
Holy shit!
Not only had he witnessed Su Yu's complicated relationship with death spirits, but he had also witnessed a jealous death sovereign in action. How scary. Mo Duona started wondering if they would kill him to silence him. He seemed to have learned of something he shouldn't.
Mo Duona was starting to lose control of his calm. He started telling himself that he knew nothing. He saw nothing. This was simply too terrifying to know.
Finally, Su Yu understood what Xing Yue was talking about. He laughed and said, "Lord, you misunderstand me. Am I such a person? It's a misunderstanding. He Tu is merely a tool for me. He is merely a puppet under my manipulation. Is someone so blindly arrogant worthy of being my lord? Only you, Lord Xing Yue, are worthy of being my supreme sovereign."
Mo Duona sighed inwardly. Why? Why were they flirting in front of him?
Was Su Yu fooling the pitiful death sovereign with his sweet words?
What a scumbag.
How could he do this to the death sovereign who had sacrificed so much for him? Mo Duona couldn't hold back anymore. He said, "Su Yu, your lord must have sacrificed a lot to travel all the way from Grandstar City to this place. She must have paid a high price to help you. Geniuses like us can be arrogant, but we can't be ungrateful..."
Yes. He had spoken for Xing Yue. Geniuses like them were arrogant, cold, and free-spirited, but they weren't unfeeling. How could Su Yu treat the death sovereign like this? Mo Duona found himself looking down on Su Yu. Mo Duona told himself that in the same position, he would never act like this.
"Are you crazy?"
Su Yu looked at Mo Duona speechlessly. What nonsense was that? Xing Yue was probably here to kill him, nothing else. Whatever. It wasn't even worth explaining. It wouldn't be a bad thing for Mo Duona to misunderstand their relationship. That way, Mo Duona would be even more scared of him.
Su Yu said, "If you want to purchase your survival, sure. Fly out and shout loudly that you're killing all immortals today. You will take the blame for this. If you agree, I am willing to negotiate. Don't even dream of escaping. The residence is sealed."
Mo Duona was stunned to hear that request. He said, "I..."
Su Yu asked, "Yes? Is that too hard for you? Give me your answer. Stop wasting my time. Since you wish to work with me, you need to show your sincerity. Otherwise, forget about our cooperation. Don't forget that I killed Zhankui for you."
"..."
Mo Duona laughed bitterly and said, "But this will turn me into the mortal enemy of the immortals. Xuan Wuji and Dao Cheng are the top elites of their generation. They are the future pillars of the immortal race."
Su Yu said, "If you're not ready to make everyone your enemy, what's the point of working with me? You only need to offend the immortals. Look at me. Look at how many enemies I have. If you lack the courage to even do this, why should I work with you? I can find better partners."
Mo Duona sighed and said, "True. I underestimated you, Su Yu. You are more ruthless than I have imagined. You're also stronger than I imagined. I'm being honest here. You're a lot more incredible than I have imagined."
"Thank you." Su Yu said, "Go on, do it. No, just open the door and shout without stepping out. A lot of people are paying attention to this place. As for Lord Xing Yue, may I trouble you to hide for a bit? We don't want those people to know you're still here. Mo Duona, stop wasting time. Do it now if you really want to work with me."
After a slight hesitation, Mo Duona inhaled and said, "Sure."
If he had to offend the immortals, so be it.
Su Yu looked at Xing Yue and said, "Lord, kill him the moment he does anything suspicious."
"Ok..."
Xing Yue answered instinctively before blanking out. Why did she agree to that?
Su Yu grinned and said, "Lord, I have discovered the way to leave the Death Realm without being subjected to the heavenly laws. I can tell you later."
Xing Yue's eyes flickered. Right, she had almost forgotten about that.
Thus, she decided to restrain her anger and snorted before saying, "I know what to do."
"Of course you do."
Sure enough, Xing Yue was still as easy to fool as always. Mo Duona inhaled deeply, walked to the throne, and opened the gate. Then, he stepped out of the hall. A large number of experts had gathered near the hall.
Up in the sky, a defensive barrier could be seen. That was the sign that the residence had been sealed. Several Invincibles had arrived as well. However, they couldn't enter the residence.
When Mo Duona looked around, he exhaled in relief. Fortunately, the Invincibles of the immortals were still outside the residence.
He coldly declared, "Yang Hu, Xuan Wuji, Dao Cheng, Yin Ping, and the others of the immortal race have all been punished for daring to kill Zhankui of the devil race. If the immortals are unhappy about this, you are free to come after me."
"..."
Boom! Thıs text ıs hosted at noⅴelfire.net
Countless people were alarmed.
That applied to those outside the Devote King's residence as well. Up in the sky, Immortal King Xuan He exclaimed, "What did you say?"
Mo Duona looked up arrogantly and said, "Those people have been killed for provoking me. The ones who are still alive now will also die later. I will kill them myself. What about it, Immortal King Xuan He?"
"Bastard!"
Immortal King Xuan He was furious. At the same time, a devil king said, "Mo Duona, stop spouting nonsense. You must be Lan Tian in disguise..."
Boom!
Mo Duona released the Devil Pseudo Emperor's aura and said, "Lord Tianmaiqi, this is enough to prove who I am."
"..."
The devil king's expression changed. This was indeed Mo Duona. He was the only person capable of using the Devil Pseudo Emperor's blood essence. Anyone else would die upon using it.
Damn it! It was really him. Had he gone mad?"
"Where's Zhankui?"
"Dead. Did you not notice the phenomenon?" Mo Duona coldly said, "I did what I did. I won't hide anything. People like me do not need to hide. I am not so shameless."
Yes. He was throwing indirect verbal assaults toward Su Yu. He was not the type to do something like this. But this time, he was truly furious. Su Yu was too shameless.
In the sky, more Invincibles appeared. Those from the immortal race were infuriated by Mo Duona's audacity. Those from the devil race were frowning.
Madman!
What was Mo Duona doing here?
The devil king asked, "Are Xuan Wuji and the others dead? If they're not..."
Boom!
Mo Duona entered the hall and shut the gate. It was pointless to ask him. It wasn't like those people were in his hands.
Chapter 1465: Ruthless Su Yu (3)
The hall's noise isolation ability was rather impressive.
The moment the gate was shut, no sound from the outside could be heard anymore.
Inside, Mo Duona saw Su Yu's smiling face. "Mo Duona, are you enjoying yourself throwing insults at me like that?"
"Nope."
Mo Duona denied. He did not insult anyone. He was merely speaking the truth.
Su Yu laughed indifferently and said, "It's fine. I don't care. I suppose I'm truly shameless. It is in line with my persona. In fact, I have countless personas. I can show you any persona you want to see."
How shameless. Both Mo Duona and Xing Yue cursed inwardly. They had never seen someone so shameless. How was someone so young capable of being so shameless?
Su Yu said, "So, we have established that Mo Duona is the killer. Sigh. Mo Duona, the devils are indeed villainous."
He laughed and crushed a ball of light in his hand. Instantly, a phenomenon appeared. That was a ninth-stage Sunmoon. After killing so many people, Su Yu was finally receiving another heavenly reward. Multiple glowing clouds appeared and descended upon him. However, he frowned upon seeing them.
After fully absorbing the energy in the clouds, he shook his head, "Garbage. They couldn't even help me complete a source qi transformation."
"..."
Mo Duona asked blankly, "Just what is your cultivation level right now?"
"First-stage Cloudbreach." Su Yu asked, "That's too weak, right? It's fine. Yang Hu is still here. Many of the geniuses are still alive. I can kill them all and wait for the next reward."
Zhankui had killed himself. Thus, Su Yu had not been able to obtain any reward from that kill. It didn't matter. Killing geniuses was better than killing experts.
Su Yu said, "If I were you, I would shut my eyes and seal my senses. I wouldn't want to learn too much lest I needed silencing."
Mo Duona sighed and did as told before sitting down cross-legged.
Xing Yue snorted and asked, "Su Yu, what do you want?"
"..."
Su Yu blanked out. After a short moment, he said, "Lord, what can I do? I did nothing. You came here yourself. I only got you out here after learning of your arrival. How is that my fault?"
What an odd question.
Xing Yue was the one who had insisted on coming. While speaking, Su Yu took his Mark of Civilization out and started absorbing everything. The flesh and blood of the many immortals were strewn all over the hall. He needed to collect them.
While collecting the flesh and blood, Su Yu asked, "Lord, is the death blood really so useful?"
"Yes!"
"Sure. I'll get Mo Duona to hand it over before you leave."
"...I don't want it!"
Xing Yue snorted coldly. She did not want his stuff.
Su Yu said, "What are you saying, Lord? I'm your loyal subordinate. All my things belong to you. Only when you grow strong will I live a good life. Everything of mine is yours."
Xing Yue thought about it and said with some hesitation, "Fine. But..."
Su Yu said, "You once picked up a carrier treasure in the ancient city. It is useless for you. Perhaps you can consider bestowing it upon me?"
That was the first carrier treasure Su Yu had ever seen. Ultimately, it had been collected by Xing Yue. It was something resembling a piece of jade.
The moment Xing Yue heard that she was bestowing it instead of trading it, she found herself greatly agreeable to his suggestion. She agreed with satisfaction, "Sure. I will bestow it upon you."
Then, she tossed a carrier treasure at Su Yu.
With a smile, Su Yu picked it up. Then, he picked up two more carrier treasures from the floor. One was dropped by Zhankui while the other was dropped by Yang Hu. This was quite lucky. He had obtained three carrier treasures from this battle.
It was profitable. Including those he already had and those he had harvested in the mansion...
Tsk tsk.
Su Yu had around fifteen carrier treasures in total. Sure enough, carrier treasures weren't that hard to get. He felt like he could find them everywhere. He hadn't even checked the storage rings of his recent victims. Perhaps he could find more from these rings.
He wondered if he could extract some blood essence from the two dead Pseudo Invincibles. It was probably not possible for Zhankui.
But Yang Hu's blood could be found all over the hall. Perhaps he could extract some. This was truly profitable. Su Yu couldn't help but sigh at how easy it was to make money.
While thinking to himself, he had his book kill everyone trapped inside. What was the point of keeping them around? ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⦿fire.net
One after another, they were killed.
Most of the people in the book were killed without even knowing what was happening. However, some of them were still able to stay clear-headed. When Su Yu flipped to a certain page, Xuan Wuji's voice rang out, "Don't kill me, Su Yu! I have treasures! My grandpa has treasures to offer as well! You can trade my life for treasures!"
"It's fine. I will get all the treasures after killing your grandpa."
With that, the book devoured Xuan Wuji. A glowing cloud dropped down from above. Once again, Su Yu's acupoints shook. However, he still couldn't complete his second source qi transformation. This was indeed difficult.
Su Yu sighed. He had killed so many people beyond his level. He was only a Cloudbreach. Meanwhile, these people were already Sunmoons. How was he still stuck at the first transformation?
This made zero sense. As for Xuan Wuji, he saw no need to keep Xuan Wuji around.
Before long, he flipped to a page with Dao Cheng's face on it. With a dispirited expression, Dao Cheng said, "What do you want? I can even act as your spy and betray the immortals. You can control me from afar..."
Su Yu smiled, "No thanks, Brother Dao Cheng. Don't say that. Truth be told, I like you a lot. But I also fear you. You are the only person who has survived for so long after making an enemy out of me. Almost all my enemies who are weaker than I have died. You are the sole survivor. That's very scary. Don't worry, Brother Dao Cheng. After you die, I will take my time examining your entire life. All that is yours will be mine. Go with peace, Brother."
Su Yu sighed and continued, "Do you know that I rarely speak so much to someone who is going to die? Not even He Tu is qualified to receive so many words from me. Know that you have a special spot in my heart. You might even return as a death spirit after this. I'm serious. That might happen. Don't worry, I'll visit the Death Realm to kill you again in the future. Don't thank me."
Finally, despair appeared in Dao Cheng's eyes.
"Su Yu, I regret it."
"Do you regret offending me?"
"No. I regret not killing you during our first meeting. If I couldn't, I should have gotten my grandpa to do it personally. I shouldn't have allowed you to grow."
"Sigh. Too bad there's no cure for regret. Don't be sad. Cultivate hard and aim to become a death sovereign in the Death Realm."
After flashing Dao Cheng a final grin, he had the book consume Dao Cheng. Su Yu did not bother to go over his spoils. There was no rush. He would first kill all these people. For some reason, an imperceptible sense of relief washed over him after killing Dao Cheng. Furthermore, yet another glowing cloud dropped down from the sky.
Xing Yue muttered in surprise, "He...was the immortals' child of fate. He could have grown into an Invincible if he hadn't died here."
Su Yu laughed, "Is that so? Wow. I should be thankful, then."
Xing Yue did not see this as that big of a deal.
***
Meanwhile, the outside world was growing crazy.
Dao Cheng was dead.
Xuan Wuji was dead.
One top genius after another was dead. All of them were immortals.
Even Pseudo Invincibles had died. First, it was Zhankui. Then, it was Yang Hu.
Two Pseudo Invincibles, eight index geniuses, six ninth-stage Sunmoons, and one eighth-stage Sunmoon. No, there were two more seventh-stage Sunmoons as well.
Su Yu had killed both Pan Hu and Fourth Heaven while going through his book. He had received their seas of willpower from Mo Duona.
Boom!
The world shook.
Once again, Tiangu's projection manifested in the sky. He watched the collapsing tunnels in silence. Nearby, Dao King, Xuan King, and many other Invincibles watched in silence as well. Up in the sky, dark clouds gathered.
Dead.
All dead.
Excluding the five immortal kings, all the elites the immortal race had sent into the mansion had died. Two of them were even Heaven Index geniuses. Dao King had a pale expression. His grandson had died. His disciple had died. Everyone he sent inside had died. No one survived. Even Xuan Wuji, the beloved genius of the immortals, had died.
The Invincibles of other races started distancing themselves from the immortals. The immortals would most likely go crazy from this. With all these deaths, one could say that the immortals had lost an entire generation of future pillars.
Finally, Tiangu laughed, "Good. Well done. Dead. All dead."
The space around him started cracking while blood clouds gathered above him, signifying that he was on the verge of losing control over his temper. He was furious. This was the heaviest blow they had suffered in this epoch.
People like Xuan Wuji and Dao Cheng were future Invincibles. Even Yang Hu and many of the recently dead were potential Invincibles. In his eyes, at least five of them could grow into Invincibles in the future.
This was a massive loss.
Five.
Those five had high probabilities of growing into Invincibles.
They had essentially lost five Invincibles of this epoch.
"Hehe..."
Tiangu looked at the devils, laughed coldly, and vanished. He looked at them because Zhankui was also among the dead. He was certain Zhankui had not died to a death spirit. And apart from Zhankui, only immortals had died. Did they die together?
Did the devils attack the immortals? That was the conclusion many reached. All of them were amazed at how ruthless the devils were. Wasn't this the same as a war declaration? Generally, they would refrain from killing the top geniuses of the younger generation. Doing so would generally result in a blood feud.
Thus, a war between the immortals and devils would most likely break out after the immortals found enough evidence that the devils were behind this.
***
In the human encampment.
Great Zhou King and Great Xia King looked at each other. After a deep inhalation, Great Xia King said, "The devils are truly crazy."
They had wiped out an entire generation of immortals. This was the same as killing the likes of Qin Fang and Huang Teng. Furthermore, even Pseudo Invincibles and ninth-stage Sunmoons had been killed. This was crazy.
Not even Great Xia King had the courage to do something like this. After killing all those people, humanity could start hiding in the Human Realm.
However, Great Zhou King merely raised his brow and sent a voice transmission, "Don't get too excited. Do you think the devils will do something like this? Be careful lest the actual culprit is a human."
Great Xia King blanked out.
This couldn't be true, right?
If the culprit was a human...he started feeling nervous. He sent a voice transmission, "If it was Su Yu, it wouldn't matter since he's already the enemy of the myriad races. But...what if it was Longwu?"
That would be very troublesome. He glanced at the ancient city instinctively. Since Su Yu wasn't in the mansion, he could only pray that it was not a different human. If it was really a human, they better wipe out all evidence before leaving.
Great Zhou King glanced at the ancient city as well. He doubted that even Xia Longwu would be so crazy unless the five immortal kings in the mansion were dead.
He would only do so if he stopped caring about humanity. The immortals would not let this slide. The five immortal kings in the mansion were still alive.
"Not many people have the courage to do something like this...it must be...Su Yu."
Great Zhou King sighed inwardly. What a ruthless man.
Su Yu had truly been born in the wrong era. If he had been born during the era when humanity dominated, he would have slaughtered the myriad races all by himself.
Chapter 1466: Second Cloudbreach Transformation (1)
Martial Hall.
Yang Hu was the last person to die.
After killing so many people, including two Heaven Index geniuses and so many people with higher cultivation levels, Su Yu's source qi finally started transforming. The second stage was within reach. Follow current novels on novęlfire.net
He had received his heavenly rewards from the heavenly laws. And the heavenly laws would usually adjust the rewards depending on the condition of the recipient. His transformation felt near completion, but he still felt like something was missing.
Su Yu sank into thought. Without the nine-leaf skylotus, would he need to kill an Invincible to complete further transformations? He was only near the completion of his second transformation even after killing so many geniuses. Wouldn't the rewards of killing all these people be comparable to the rewards of killing an Invincible?
"The heavens are so unfair to me!"
Su Yu sighed as he lamented his lack of rewards. Why could others receive so many rewards by simply killing some random people?
Nearby, Xing Yue watched coldly. The heavens were unfair toward him? Was he not embarrassed when saying something like that?
Su Yu sighed again. He decided to put the matter aside and focus on his blood essence for now. Since he couldn't get any blood essence from Zhankui, he had to focus on Yang Hu's blood essence. He started the extraction process from the gathered blood.
After a while, six drops of blood essence were gathered. Each drop was emanating a powerful aura. That was the maximum amount he could extract.
"This is not enough."
Then again, he could only accept it. He looked at his Mark of Civilization and noted that there were now 110 golden stripes on it again. It had recovered from its previous damage. That was not all. The 111th golden stripe was starting to take form.
The book had grown from killing so many experts. Before long, the 111th golden stripe finished taking form. Alas, the 112th golden stripe was nowhere to be seen. The immortal page had recovered completely from its previous damage. The page itself had also reached the level of a fourth-stage Sunmoon. On top of that, there were eighty golden stripes on that page.
That page alone could be considered an early earth weapon. The strength of the other pages varied. Some were stronger and some were weaker. That mainly depended on the races of the people these pages had consumed. Most of them had recovered considerably from their previous damage.
"Not bad at all."
Su Yu grinned. He was satisfied with his harvest. It was quite decent. He hadn't even checked their storage rings.
One of the pages in his book was used as a pure storage space for these treasures. When he opened the page to check its contents, Xing Yue took a peek...and started cursing. Why was this bastard so rich?
Yes. The bastard was incredibly rich. The moment the page was opened, the hall was flooded with the auras of treasures.
Su Yu had killed too many geniuses and experts. He had looted a lot of treasures from his victims. He himself had also gathered a lot of treasures in the mansion. Thus, his collection of treasures was enough to fill a space of around one kilometer radius.
Two dragonblood fruit trees, the many nasal hairs of Old Zhou, the gigantic solidwater pearls, the numerous piles of riversand... That was not all. He was busy going through his loot boxes.
Or to be precise, he was opening the storage rings of people like Xuan Wuji. From these rings, he obtained a large amount of blood essence, heavenly source qi, heavenly source fruits, ancient city medallions, five elemental fruits, hallow source qi fruits...
More and more treasures were piled up. He tossed all the treasures below the level of a carrier treasure onto the pile like trash. He was too rich to care. He had a decent number of carrier treasures as well, but he wouldn't mind having more.
After a while, he found two heaven weapons. Both were early heaven weapons. He did not find any carrier treasures in Xuan Wuji's storage ring, but he found one in the storage ring of a ninth-stage Sunmoon.
Clearly, that Sunmoon was preparing to become a Pseudo Invincible. Unfortunately, he was killed before he could do it.
Including the golden nasal hairs, Su Yu had gathered a total of sixteen carrier treasures. The rest of his treasures were worth at least four carrier treasures. He had essentially gathered all the treasures the top young elite immortals had collected.
After a while, Xing Yue decided to shut her eyes and stop looking at Su Yu. Sure, most of the treasures were useless to her, but she still had the urge to kill Su Yu. If Su Yu's collection were exposed, it would tempt even Pseudo Emperors to kill and rob him. Yes, he was the public enemy of the myriad races. But for now, everyone only wanted to kill him because of his threat, not because of his wealth.
"It's decent."
After storing all the treasures in his page, he said, "I also have six heaven weapons suppressed in the book and one drop of Invincible blood essence. I feel like the book is near its capacity."
He looked at Xing Yue and smiled, "Lord Xing Yue, are you interested in crushing three or five carrier treasures for me? I need to further stabilize my Mark of Civilization."
The Invincible blood essence was obtained from killing Tiangu's descendant. The heaven weapons were also obtained from these top geniuses.
Su Yu continued, "If you're not interested, can you shatter the heaven weapons for me? They're similar to carrier treasures in durability. I can forge them into my Mark of Civilization."
Xing Yue asked coldly, "You want to shatter them? Heaven weapons are rare and valuable even in the Death Realm..."
Su Yu laughed and said, "A weapon is only good if it's a suitable weapon. Keeping the weapons of others around is risky. They might serve as a tracker for your enemies to find you. I need to crush all the heaven and earth weapons. I only need to strengthen my Mark of Civilization with them. I don't need those weapons around."
Xing Yue asked coldly, "Why should I help you?"
"Because I'm your loyal subordinate." Su Yu reasoned, "Lord, won't you be proud to have a stronger subordinate?"
Xing Yue continued staring at Su Yu frostily. Nonsense. If he grew even stronger, she wouldn't be able to withstand his absorption anymore.
Seemingly having guessed her thoughts, Su Yu laughed and said, "Think about it, Lord. If I keep these heaven weapons around, I can probably sell them for many treasures I can use to cultivate. I'll definitely grow stronger doing that. Meanwhile, crushing them will only strengthen my weapon, not my body. That is a way to restrict my growth..."
Xing Yue continued staring at Su Yu frostily. She really wanted to slap him to death. However, he had been absorbing her death qi nonstop. At the moment, he was still controlling the rate. But the moment she tried anything, he would greatly increase the rate.
Su Yu was no longer a weakling. He would be able to survive her even if he couldn't defeat her. Xing Yue was starting to feel tired of this.
After shooting Mo Duona a glance, she gnashed her teeth and asked, "What do you want to sever the connection between us?"
"..."
This was most likely the first time in history a death sovereign had ever asked a question like this.
Xing Yue couldn't stand Su Yu anymore. She was deeply annoyed by him.
Su Yu asked, "Lord, are you abandoning your most loyal subordinate?"
"Su Yu!" Xing Yue screeched with fury and madness.
As a response, Su Yu sighed and said, "Don't be like that, Lord. I am absorbing your death qi because I'm out of options. My yang acupoint is open ,but my yin aperture is still shut. With the yin aperture open, this won't be an issue anymore. But I doubt I can find all 360 apertures even after killing all cultural researchers in existence. Some ancient races have gone extinct. And cultural researchers have always been lower in number compared to warriors. I suspect that I can find the chart of the apertures somewhere. However, I need your help there."
"Where?"
"Death Realm!"
Xing Yue asked coldly, "You wish to enter the Death Realm?"
"No. I hope you can find it for me..."
"You're dreaming."
Su Yu laughed and shrugged, "In that case, I can only continue absorbing you. I have no choice, Lord. It's not like I want this. Sooner or later, I will die to death qi."
Xing Yue snorted.
Su Yu ignored her. He would worry about this again in the future. At the moment, he was busy consuming some of his gathered treasures, including dragonblood fruits, solidwater pearls, and smearing some Emperor's Saliva all over his body to supply his body with enough energy to complete the second transformation. After some time, a massive burst of source qi erupted from his body.
Su Yu groaned blissfully.
This felt great! After so long, he had finally completed his second transformation. This felt incredible. Naturally, he was consuming resources at a rate that could cause Invincibles to cry and Daofuses to grief. The resources he needed to complete one transformation were probably worth more than an entire Invincible.
Su Yu was sighing inwardly. He had to get his hands on the nine-leaf skylotus. Otherwise, he could forget about his remaining transformations. It felt almost impossible to gather enough treasures to complete more of his transformations. He had only completed the second transformation after killing so many geniuses.
After the completion of his second transformation, he started growing in strength. It did not happen in one massive burst. Rather, it was a steady and continuous progress. Once again, he took a pile of treasures out and started consuming them like candies to fuel his strengthening.
Both his body and source qi were upgrading themselves. That required a large amount of energy. Countless treasure fruits were consumed like they were energy drinks.
At the same time, Su Yu was utilizing his breathing technique and vibration technique to remove more impurities from his body.
He even used the Life Trigger of the immortals to fart those impurities out of his body.
Xing Yue looked at the farting Su Yu with disgust.
Su Yu did not care about that. He focused on his body, sensing his growth after his second transformation. The first transformation had given him a massive boost in strength. He could reach 2.5 million acupoints in strength without the yang acupoint.
The second transformation had pushed his strength beyond three million acupoints, and it was still growing. Naturally, time was required for that. Fortunately, he was rich enough to fuel his growth.
Su Yu did not skimp when upgrading himself. A treasure would only be a good treasure if it could help him. It was pointless to keep them around as decorations. He was not holding back as he continued consuming countless treasures stored in his book.
Slowly, all 360 of his acupoints lit up brightly.
3 million acupoints in strength.
3.1 million acupoints in strength.
Chapter 1467: Second Cloudbreach Transformation (2)
Slowly but surely, Su Yu grew in strength.
The thick source qi and heavenly source qi in the hall forced even Xing Yue to distance herself from him. She said, "I'm leaving..."
Now annoying.
She hated source qi. Hearing her words, Su Yu opened his eyes and said, "Please wait a moment, Lord. You have yet to receive Mo Duona's treasure. Don't forget what I promised you..."
Then, Su Yu gave Mo Duona a kick.
After a short moment, Mo Duona opened his eyes.
Su Yu said, "Give me the death blood."
Mo Duona handed it over without saying anything. With the blood in hand, Su Yu said, "Lord, do you need to return after receiving this?"
"Exactly." Xing Yue said, "Hand it over. I'm leaving.
Su Yu laughed and said, "Don't be in such a rush, Lord. I have many things to tell you."
"Shut up!"
Xing Yue was uninterested in what he had to say.
Su Yu solemnly said, "Lord, I advise you to listen to me. My growth is too rapid. At this rate...I don't want it, but I might end up hurting you..."
In fact, Xing Yue could feel that he was speaking the truth. He was not under the effect of any blood essence. Even so, his strength was nearing 3.8 million acupoints. With the yang acupoint, he could reach 7 million acupoints in strength. That was already comparable to a peak ninth-stage Sunmoon or a Pseudo Invincible.
One ought to remember that Su Yu could further boost his strength by consuming blood essence. He was essentially a ninth-stage Sunmoon parasite constantly absorbing Xing Yue's death qi.
Su Yu earnestly said, "I really need your help, Lord."
Xing Yue asked, "What do you want?"
Su Yu said, "No rush, Lord. I only want to say that I'll kill another Pseudo Invincible if I wish you see you again..."
Mo Duona felt like cursing at someone upon hearing that. What did Su Yu take Pseudo Invincibles for? Also, what was he even talking about? Killing a Pseudo Invincible just to meet this death sovereign? Wasn't that a tad bit too ferocious?
Sure enough, a love story between life and death was never simple. A single meeting required such a high price. Sigh.
Xing Yue glared at Su Yu frostily. After a while, she snorted and said, "I don't care what you want, but you need to do one thing for me as well."
"Please give me your order, Lord!"
After thinking about it for a bit, Xing Yue said, "I told the other death sovereigns that I have a Pseudo Invincible subordinate out here..."
"I'm here, right?" Su Yu said, "I am your subordinate!"
"Shut up!" Xing Yue said, "I told them I'm here to get my subordinate's help to open the death tunnel. To do so, I need the divine weapon dealt with. You will need to handle that."
Su Yu was rendered speechless. Was this a joke? This was no easy task.
Naturally, he wouldn't say that. Instead, he said, "I'll try my best, Lord. By the way, how many death sovereigns are there in the tunnel?"
"Eight at the moment. Nine, including me."
Holy shit. That was a big number.
Including He Tu and his friend, there were eleven death sovereigns waiting to enter the seventh level. That was an incredible force.
"Sure. I know what to do, Lord. Contact me through our death qi connection if you need anything. In any case, our connection will always be there. Even when we are worlds apart, we will still be together."
Xing Yue snorted and accepted the death blood. With this, her mission out here was completed. As for the bastard's suggestion to contact him, nope. She was not interested. She wanted to leave. This was an annoying place.
As Xing Yue started to fade away, Su Yu said, "Lord, make sure to stick around. If you leave, I might sever the death tunnel. That would be unfortunate. Without you, I will need to madly increase my strength to protect myself. I might grow to a point that I can easily suck you dry."
"Are you threatening me?"
Hearing Xing Yue's furious voice, Su Yu said, "Not at all. You misunderstand me. Your loyal subordinate is not such a person. I only hope that you can stay and lend me a hand. Your loyal subordinate will be endlessly grateful." For origınal chapters go to NoveIꜰire.net
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Xing Yue faded completely.
***
Before long, Xing Yue reappeared in the death tunnel.
Instantly, eight death sovereigns looked over expectantly. She nonchalantly said, "My subordinate will be fully converted soon, but I'm keeping him alive for now to avoid the heavenly laws. The conversion is stuck at about seventy percent. That will do for now." The other death sovereigns nodded in agreement.
"Xing Yue, is your subordinate really willing to open the death tunnel for us?"
"Yes!" Xing Yue said, "He will obey my orders. Otherwise, I will finish the conversion instantly. He can live longer if he stays obedient."
She continued, "I scouted around while I was out there as well. He Tu isn't alone. He has a powerful death sovereign with him. My subordinate is finding a way to help He Tu enter the seventh level. He will deal with the divine weapon as well, but he requires time. He will kill a Pseudo Invincible to contact me when there's progress."
"..."
The death sovereigns were quite impressed to hear that. One of them said, "Xing Yue, that subordinate of yours must be quite strong if he can kill Pseudo Invincibles so easily." Killing a Pseudo Invincible just to make a report.
How...cool.
Xing Yue nonchalantly said, "Of course. I will naturally not pick a weakling to be my subordinate. I will be the one to leave again the next time he kills a Pseudo Invincible."
She casually tossed the drop of death blood out and said, "This is his tribute for me. I won't be disturbing you. Feel free to keep it. I'll get him to gather more the next time I'm out there."
"Death blood!"
The death sovereigns were greatly alarmed. The death blood was something one could only find from the depths of the Celestial River of Death. How did Xing Yue's subordinate get something like this?
How was he loyal enough to offer it as tribute so readily? The eyes of the eight death sovereigns turned red. Since there was only one drop, they didn't even know what to do with it.
Naturally, they had to allow Xing Yue to be the one to leave the next time a Pseudo Invincible was killed. That would only benefit them.
Xing Yue said, "Split it among yourselves. I still need to focus on converting him to prevent him from breaking free of my control. He's very strong. He might be obedient now, but he won't let go of a chance to go independent. I need a large amount of death qi to maintain my grip over him."
"Xing Yue, that only serves as proof that you have a powerful subordinate."
Only a powerful subordinate would require such costly maintenance. No wonder the subordinate could easily kill a Pseudo Invincible just to make a report.
Xing Yue sure was lucky.
A death sovereign said, "Don't worry. You will have our support. He won't be able to break free. Did you come here because you were worried that he would break free?"
At that, Xing Yue cursed inwardly. Bullshit. She wanted nothing more than to let Su Yu break free. However, that bastard refused to leave. Xing Yue greatly regretted her past choice to convert him. The death sovereigns took her silence as a silent agreement. They all laughed heartily.
Xing Yue couldn't be bothered to entertain them.
***
Inside the Martial Hall.
Mo Duona looked at Su Yu and said, "Su Yu, you are truly impressive."
Su Yu said, "Stop wasting time. You promised to help me with the nine-leaf skylotus. So how can we get it? What help do you need from me? Go straight to the point."
Hearing that, Mo Duona decided to stop beating around the bush. He said, "I have a simple goal. I wish to break free of the Devil Emperor's control. After using his blood essence, that will be nearly impossible. I need your help. Naturally, I will help you get the nine-leaf skylotus as the price."
"How can I help you, and how will you help me?"
Mo Duona answered, "Firstly, convert me into an ancient city mayor. However, I need to learn the way to convert death qi you're using."
"What?"
Seeing that Su Yu was frowning, Mo Duona said, "You have the ability to disguise yourself as anyone you want. You are able to prevent any death qi from leaking out of your body even when the stone statues are out of the cities. You naturally have a way to deal with death qi. Help me with that. I will be able to rely on the ancient cities..."
Su Yu said, "Do you think I'll share my authority over the ancient cities with you?"
"No. That's not my goal. I only want to evade the Devil Emperor's control. After becoming a half death spirit, he will not be able to keep converting me unless he wants to be a half death spirit as well. Naturally, I don't want to die. I don't want to die in his hands after proving useless to him. Thus, I need a different identity and the way to handle death qi."
Mo Duona solemnly said, "That is only one of the options. Secondly, you can kill the Devil Emperor for me..."
Su Yu stared at Mo Duona silently. Was he stupid?
Mo Duona said, "I believe in you. Kill him before I become a ninth-stage Sunmoon. That will be enough."
"Piss off."
Mo Duona sighed, "There is also a third option. Find a treasure for me. It might be located on the eighth level..."
"Piss off."
Mo Duona explained, "The eighth level was merely the place where the ancient big shots once resided. It is possible to enter that place. Some devils did that before. Back then, that was the court of the Myriad Race Assembly. That was also where the ancient Devil Pseudo Emperor used to reside. He has a residence there. I need a treasure from that residence. According to the records of my race, I can solve my current troubles with that treasure."
"Piss off." Su Yu scolded, "I can't even act freely on the seventh level. Now, you're telling me to enter the eighth level? Not one of your solutions is reliable. You should look for an Invincible instead, not me."
"That won't work." Mo Duona said, "I would have done so long ago if that were feasible. Those people are even more unreliable than you. Their greed would be triggered when they saw the treasure. The same might happen to you, but I could always trade something useful to you for that treasure."
Su Yu was left speechless.
He asked, "And how do you intend to help me with the nine-leaf skylotus?"

After a short silence, Mo Duona said, "Before entering the mansion, I received a treasure from the Devil Emperor. It is an ancient talisman capable of breaking through all formations and spatial restrictions. It was left behind by an incomparably powerful ancient expert. I can use the talisman to approach the skylotus the moment it starts blooming. Then, I'll hand it over to you. Nobody will notice it. I will flee to attract everyone's attention."
Su Yu laughed and said, "That must be something the Devil Pseudo Emperor gave you to preserve your life. I doubt it was meant for you to snatch the treasure from the Invincibles here."
"Yes." Mo Duona asked in surprise, "How do you know that?"
Su Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think the skylotus is so easy to snatch? Do you know that it's not so easy to harvest? It can bloom nine times. The intervals are fixed. You need to harvest it nine times for it to count. Also, there is a timespace tunnel behind it. If you're careless, you might fall into the River of Time accidentally. Don't you know this?"
Mo Duona shook his head blankly. Nope. He had no idea. Su Yu frowned. Since the old turtle knew that, the other ancient experts should know that as well. Was it possible that these ancient experts had been keeping this fact secret?
No matter what, Mo Duona was being nurtured as the future body of the Devil Pseudo Emperor. Was there a need for the Devil Pseudo Emperor to hide this from him?
"Looks like the devils are really unaware of this."
When Su Yu thought about it, he realized that all the devils from the ancient past must have died. Thus, it was likely that the devils were unaware of this. Were the immortals aware of this?
Tiangu was ancient, but he was nothing back then. He was different from the old turtle who had entered the Devote King's residence in the ancient past. Back then, this wasn't a place just anyone could enter. In that case, was the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion aware of this?
Su Yu was unsure. But he had a feeling that some other people would be aware of this as well. Thus, the skylotus wouldn't be so easy to snatch. Was Mo Duona trying to solicit his help with only this? What a beautiful dream.
Mo Duona frowned and said, "At the very least, I can harvest it once for you."
"That's not enough. It's pointless." Su Yu rubbed his chin and said, "The skylotus isn't easy to harvest. Furthermore, you're in deep trouble after killing so many immortals. They won't let this slide."
With a grin, Su Yu said, "Let's sow more chaos. Try to let He Tu in. Get the devils and immortals to start fighting each other. You're an important seed of the Devil Pseudo Emperor. I believe some of the devil kings on this level belong to the Devil Pseudo Emperor's line, right?"
"Yes." Mo Duona nodded, "What do you suggest?"
"What else? Sow chaos." Su Yu said, "You're now an enemy of the Devil Pseudo Emperor. His people are your enemies. Do you care so much about your fellow devils that you can't stand against them?"
"Not at all." Mo Duona said, "I don't want to turn against the devils, but I also don't want to turn into a puppet. You have the courage to walk away from the humans. I, Mo Duona, might be untalented, but I have the courage to walk away from the devils as well."
He did not want to turn against the devils. But the devils found it acceptable to sacrifice him to heal their Pseudo Emperor and regain some stability. Just like the multiple character faction, Mo Duona was viewed as a necessary sacrifice. His sacrifice was necessary for the greater good. But that was not something he could accept.
Su Yu sneered, "Walking away from the devils? Do you even have the ability to do so? Sure, you are strong enough to face Sunmoons. But without the Devil Pseudo Emperor's blood essence and the devils, what can you do? You will be nothing after leaving the devils."
Mo Duona sank into silence. Yes. He was different from Su Yu. Su Yu had nothing even back when he was with the humans. Thus, leaving would not matter much.
Mo Duona was different. He had been nurtured as a top genius from a young age. He was backed by Invincibles. Even the Devil Pseudo Emperor was one of his backers. He was supplied with countless treasures and resources. His ancestor and master were also Invincibles. He had received the support of all of them.
What would he be after leaving the devils? He was merely someone capable of fighting Sunmoons. What was the big deal about that?
Su Yu asked, "How will walking away from them benefit you? The devils have been treating you well. The Devil Pseudo Emperor will only touch you after you become a ninth-stage Sunmoon. Why are you in such a rush to leave? Milk as much benefits as you can from them before thinking of leaving."
Mo Duona thought about it and said, "But if I wait that long, I won't have the chance to leave anymore. Why do you think I have remained a Cloudbreach for so long? I can advance, but I'm unwilling. I have been planning my departure, but the Devil Emperor has lost his tri-life body too early. You ruined my plan, Su Yu."
Su Yu was left speechless. How was that his fault? It was Soy Bun's fault. But he couldn't deny that Soy Bun had acted because of him.
He couldn't be bothered to argue. He said, "Just sow chaos. It's time for you to leave. As for your offer, bring me the nine-leaf skylotus and I'll consider it."
Mo Duona sank into silence. He did not bother to say more. He understood that it was pointless to say more without the skylotus in hand. He still had to do some work himself. With that, he left the Martial Hall.
Inside the hall, Su Yu slowly turned translucent. Instead of leaving, he stayed inside to prevent anyone from noticing him. The residence would remain locked for some time. He was in no rush to leave. He would give Mo Duona the chance to attract more attention before leaving.
But after this, he could no longer maintain his identity as an immortal. So be it. It was time for him to pick a different identity.
***
When Mo Duona walked out of the Martial Hall, the numerous Invincibles above the residence turned solemn. The immortal kings had ashen expressions.
Mo Duona!
Damn him!
Even as the future body of the Devil Pseudo Emperor, he must die. They couldn't spare him or the reputation of the immortal race would fall apart.
The devil kings had unsightly expressions as well. Things were getting troublesome.
Mo Duona casually strolled through the Devote King's residence. Everyone in his way would hurriedly move away with complicated expressions. First, Su Yu, the butcher, had emerged. He was the number one expert on the Heaven Index.
And now, Mo Duona had changed as well. He, too, was the number one expert on the Heaven Index.
At the thought of Mo Duona's madness, many felt regret. However, they weren't surprised. Many of them were aware that Mo Duona was simply being raised as a seed of the Devil Pseudo Emperor. This was not something anyone would accept.
With Mo Duona's departure, a large number of people started rushing toward the Martial Hall.
Perhaps some spoils would be left behind from the battle.
Perhaps Mo Duona would leave some storage rings behind.
Someone like him might not deign to collect such spoils.
***
Inside the Martial Hall.
Su Yu focused on the people busy searching the hall. Perhaps one of them would serve as his next disguise. He could simply pick a random person. Since not even he himself was not aware of his next identity, his enemies would definitely be unaware as well.
Before long, the vision of a divine near Su Yu darkened. Before he could react, he vanished, replaced by another person. He had been replaced smoothly. A ninth-stage Mountainsea was added to the divine page of Su Yu's book.
Su Yu started immersing himself in the past of his latest victim.
A nearby divine asked, "Yun Hao, what is it? Did you find anything?"
Su Yu recovered from his reverie and shook his head, "Nope. Let's go. When the residence is unlocked, the Invincibles will be here. We don't want to stay long enough to meet them."
"Sure, let's go. Mo Duona has changed. In the past, he would always leave some spoils behind after killing. This time, he left nothing." Read complete versıon only at novel·fire·net
The divine sighed regretfully. The others who were also searching the hall sighed as well. Yes. Mo Duona had changed. In the past, he wouldn't deign to collect the spoils after killing someone.
Then again, it was understandable. Most of his victims this time were geniuses and experts. Even someone as arrogant as him would not be willing to leave the belongings of these people behind.
The experts started leaving the hall one after another. It wouldn't be a good idea to stay here for long lest the furious immortal kings start killing indiscriminately in anger.
