Eight Desolations Prison Suppressing Technique

Sun Yu clenched his right fist and punched the deep mountain cliff in front of him.

Boom!

The solid stone wall burst open, leaving a gap three zhang high. Shards of rock flew everywhere.

Sun Yu stepped into the natural cave behind the opening.

Turning around, he swept out with his right leg and kicked down a massive boulder, sealing the entrance tight.

Sun Yu took off the dozen or so bulging Storage Bags at his waist.

Grabbing the bottoms of the bags with both hands, he released a surge of true essence.

Rattle!

A dazzling treasure light instantly illuminated the entire cave.

Heaps of Top-grade Spirit Stones, rows of perfectly sealed jade boxes, and all manner of rare herbs exuding a rich medicinal fragrance piled up at Sun Yu's feet, forming a small mountain.

The Heavenly Sword Sect's centuries of accumulated wealth lay before him.

Sun Yu plopped down on the pile of Spirit Stones.

He didn't bother to tally the complicated accounts. With his left hand, he casually picked up a jade box and flicked its lid open with his thumb.

Inside lay a Blood Jade Ganoderma, scarlet all over and bearing nine leaves.

Its medicinal fragrance filled the air.

This was a top-grade Qi and Blood medicine that the Heavenly Sword Sect had intended to use to prolong the life of its True Disciples.

Sun Yu didn't even look at it before stuffing the Blood Jade Ganoderma into his mouth.

Crunch! Crunch!

His jaws ground it up like a raw carrot, crushing the entire Ganoderma.

Thick red juice ran down the corners of his mouth.

Sun Yu's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed it whole.

The medicinal power exploded in his stomach.

The Five Viscera Furnace roared into operation.

The violent qi and blood was rapidly assimilated by the pale golden true essence in his dantian, turning into wisps of energy that flowed back into his cold-pale flesh and dark golden demonic markings.

He had just killed a Blood Washing Realm Grandmaster, a Fetal Transformation Realm Sect Master, and a Divine Sea Realm Ancestor in quick succession.

Even with the deep foundations of the Asura Undying Body, he had still expended a considerable amount of energy.

Sun Yu's hands never stopped.

He grabbed a Thousand-Year Earth Yellow Essence with his left hand and crushed a bottle of top-grade Qi and Blood Pills with his right.

Chew. Swallow.

Chew. Swallow.

One box after another of priceless top-grade medicine disappeared as he devoured them like cheap snacks.

As he ate, the dark red astral qi around his body grew more solid and weighty.

Half an hour later.

Half of the mountain of medicinal treasures was gone.

Sun Yu burped, the scent of medicine wafting from his mouth.

His depleted qi and blood were completely replenished, and the lake of true essence within him was full once more.

He stopped eating and reached into his robes.

He drew out the black bone shard he had taken from the deepest part of the Heavenly Sword Sect's treasury, pinching it between two fingers.

The bone shard was icy to the touch.

Eight Desolations Prison Suppressing Technique.

Sun Yu closed his eyes, his heart beating steadily in his chest.

He was calculating the time.

"Thump."

Midnight.

Silver light rippled across his retinas like water.

A panel appeared.

[Technique: Eight Desolations Prison Suppressing Technique (Incomplete/Not Initiated)+]

"Buzz!"

The "+" shattered in an instant.

[Eight Desolations Prison Suppressing Technique (Initiated)!]

There was no unnecessary preamble.

Sun Yu felt as if a hole had been torn open by hand in the deepest part of his dantian.

Immediately, that opening began to collapse inward at a terrifying pace!

An invisible, bottomless black hole took shape inside him out of thin air.

The system's domineering infusion didn't widen his meridians or temper his bones.

Instead, it seized the very core of Sun Yu's physical body with brute force.

The bone density, muscle weight, and blood quality of his Asura Undying Body were completely unified by this technique!

Sun Yu's body suddenly sank.

He hadn't exerted himself. Rather, in that instant, his entire body had become incredibly heavy.

It was as though a towering iron mountain had been pressed into his flesh.

Boom!

Through the circulation of the Eight Desolations Prison Suppressing Technique, that extreme weight and density radiated outward in an instant.

Prison Suppressing Force Field!

Centered on Sun Yu,

the space within ten zhang of him twisted violently.

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

A chilling series of fractures erupted throughout the cave.

The solid rock beneath Sun Yu's feet didn't last even a single breath.

No external force had cleaved it. No astral qi had struck it.

Under the crushing pressure of an utterly terrifying gravity, the rock turned directly into fine dust!

The ground within ten zhang sank three chi straight down!

The air grew thick as water.

Sun Yu raised his right hand.

His arm, once as light as air, now swept through the air with a deep rumble of wind and thunder.

He felt the shift in gravity within ten zhang.

It had surged to five times its original strength!

"So this is the Prison Suppressing Force Field..."

A wild, icy smile curled Sun Yu's lips.

He willed the force field to its limit.

Boom!

Gravity within ten zhang surged to ten times its original strength!

The surrounding stone walls couldn't withstand the invisible pressure, and great chunks of rock shattered.

Sun Yu clenched his right fist.

Within the tenfold-gravity force field, his own movements were completely unhindered.

The Asura Undying Body had perfectly adapted to this pressure that it generated on its own.

But if it were an enemy—

The moment they stepped within ten zhang of him,

he wouldn't even need to throw a punch. The tenfold increase in gravity would be enough to snap an ordinary Blood Washing Realm martial artist's legs on the spot and crush their viscera!

"An Extreme Dao Physique paired with this technique. A perfect match."

Sun Yu withdrew his will.

The Prison Suppressing Force Field instantly vanished.

The air in the cave began to flow freely again.

He stood up and swept the remaining Spirit Stones and herbs off the ground and into his Storage Bags.

He hung them at his waist.

Turning around, he shattered the rock sealing the entrance with a punch.

Sun Yu strode out of the cave.

He looked toward the distant night sky.

By his reckoning, word of the Heavenly Sword Sect's destruction should have spread by now.

Wind Snow Prefecture City, downtown.

News of the Heavenly Sword Sect's annihilation swept through the various forces of Great Wind Snow State like a raging, level-twelve hurricane, overturning everything in its path within half a day.

Blood Saber Gate headquarters.

Inside the great hall.

Li Xuekuang, the Blood Saber Gate Master, smashed the ironwood table in front of him with one palm.

His eyes bulged like bronze bells as he stared at the spy kneeling below him.

"Say that again?!"

"Ancestor Chu Jue is dead? His head was blown apart with one punch by a wandering cultivator in his teens?!"

The spy shook like a sieve, his forehead pressed hard against the ground.

"Gate Master, it's absolutely true! The Heavenly Sword Sect's Main Peak was split in two. There wasn't a corpse left!"

Li Xuekuang slumped into the broad tiger-skin chair, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He, too, was at Great Perfection of the Fetal Transformation Realm.

The Heavenly Sword Sect's overall strength had even surpassed that of the Blood Saber Gate.

When Chu Jue, that three-hundred-year-old monster, emerged from seclusion, even Li Xuekuang had to give him a wide berth.

And now someone had crushed him to death as if he were a chicken!

"Send the order!"

Li Xuekuang sprang to his feet, his voice trembling.

"Every Hall Master out in the field, get back here at once! Close the Mountain Gate! Activate the Blood Fiend Great Array! Without my written order, anyone who dares take even half a step beyond the Mountain Gate will be killed without mercy!"

Iron Clothes Fortress, south of the city.

The Fortress Master, Tie Zhan, stared at the bloodstained report in his hands, unable to stop them from trembling.

His pride in his steel-hard bones had offered him no comfort at all after he heard the words "crushed a spirit weapon with his bare hands."

"Madman... He's a monster who crawled out of the Blood Sea Devil Abyss!"

Tie Zhan abruptly tore the report to shreds.

"Raise the thousand-jin portcullis! Weld the iron gates shut! Anyone who provokes this Sun Yu will be expelled from the fortress!"

The entire Iron Clothes Fortress went on high alert. Thousands of disciples spent the night sealing the fortress up until it looked like an iron tortoise.

Deep in Prefecture City stood an enormous, heavily guarded residence.

This was the highest seat of power representing the Imperial Court's rule over Great Wind Snow State.

The Prefecture City's main hall.

Prefect Xiao Tiannan sat in the Grand Preceptor's chair.

He wore a Cloud Pattern Official Robe, his face stern.

The true essence within him was as unfathomable as an ocean abyss.

Early-stage Divine Sea Realm.

He was the strongest man in Great Wind Snow State, at least in the open.

Xiao Tiannan toyed with two smooth Jade Gallbladders as he listened to his deputy's report, his gaze gloomy.

"Prefect, more than four thousand people from the Heavenly Sword Sect were wiped out. Not a single one survived."

"The wandering cultivator named Sun Yu ransacked their treasury. His whereabouts are currently unknown."

Crack.

Xiao Tiannan crushed one of the Jade Gallbladders in his hand.

Powder sifted through his fingers.

"A Fetal Transformation Realm cultivator can kill the half-crippled Divine Sea Realm Chu Jue with one punch."

Xiao Tiannan's voice was icy, his murderous intent undisguised.

"With power like that and a temperament like his, he's a wild dog who follows no rules!"

Great Wind Snow State was ruled by three powers.

The Heavenly Sword Sect, the Blood Saber Gate, and Iron Clothes Fortress.

The three sects kept one another in check, while the Prefecture City sat above them and reaped the rewards. That was the foundation of Xiao Tiannan's rule.

Now, someone had kicked out one of the legs supporting the tripod—the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The balance had been shattered.

What frightened Xiao Tiannan even more was Sun Yu's strength.

A lawless madman with an Extreme Dao Physique, one who dared to kill a Divine Sea Realm Ancestor in public.

If he were allowed to keep living in Great Wind Snow State,

the Prefecture City might be the next to be wiped out!

He absolutely couldn't be allowed to live.

Xiao Tiannan tossed aside the half of the Jade Gallbladder still in his hand and rose to his feet.

"Guards."

His adjutant bowed at once. "At your service!"

"Take my secret order to the Blood Saber Gate and Iron Clothes Fortress. Bring Li Xuekuang and Tie Zhan to me."

Xiao Tiannan looked out past the hall into the deep night.

"That kid's strength is bizarre. If I attack him directly, I can't be sure he won't bite off a chunk of me."

"Since he likes demon-beast flesh and blood, and loves slaughter..."

"Then I'll use the Cold Dragon Blood Abyss, deep in the Great Wind Snow State, as bait—and kill him with someone else's blade."

Xiao Tiannan let out a cold laugh.

"I'd like to see whether that body of his can withstand the evil dragon lurking at the bottom of the abyss."
