Annihilation World Suppressing Seal

Sun Yu sat cross-legged on a flat boulder.

He casually tugged three high-grade Storage Bags from his waist.

They were spoils taken from the corpses of Li Xuekuang, Tie Zhan, and Xiao Tiannan.

A wisp of Asura Gang Qi welled up at Sun Yu's fingertip.

"Pssht."

With brutal force, he erased the lingering soul marks on the Storage Bags.

His wrist turned.

"Clatter."

He tipped Tie Zhan and Li Xuekuang's Storage Bags upside down in midair.

A pile of pill bottles, several weapon manuals, and tens of thousands of low-grade Spirit Stones crashed onto the rock with a crisp clatter.

Sun Yu glanced over them.

Then casually swept them aside.

Sun Yu picked up the last Storage Bag, embroidered with purple-and-gold cloud patterns.

Xiao Tiannan's bag.

He held it upside down and gave it a hard shake.

"Boom."

A dazzling light of spiritual energy instantly illuminated Sun Yu's cold, pale face.

A full fifty thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones!

Every one of them was crystal-clear, with an extraordinarily dense store of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth sealed inside.

The spiritual energy flowed through the stones like liquid mercury.

Besides this mountain of Spirit Stones,

a jade slip of dusky yellow lay quietly atop the pile.

Sun Yu reached out and grabbed the jade slip.

He pressed it to his brow.

A massive stream of information surged into his mind.

Annihilation World Suppressing Seal.

A high-tier Martial Skill bestowed by the Great Yan Imperial Court upon Wind Snow Prefecture.

This Martial Skill did not temper the body or cultivate weapons.

It specialized in compressing the true essence within the body to the extreme.

Once compressed to its limit, the essence became a solid seal, which crushed everything beneath it with sheer weight and density.

Xiao Tiannan's foundations were too shallow. In his hands, this Martial Skill was little more than an ordinary spell for smashing people.

But in Sun Yu's eyes,

this Martial Skill was practically made for him.

What was his greatest strength right now?

His Great Perfection Prison Suppressing Force Field, with its three-hundredfold gravity.

And the extreme cold and heat of the Asura Gang Qi derived from the Asura Undying Body.

If he used the Annihilation World Suppressing Seal's method to compress that three-hundredfold gravity and his violent Asura Gang Qi into a seal in his palm,

its destructive power would be an astronomical figure beyond measure.

Silver light rippled across his retina.

A panel appeared.

[Martial Skill: Annihilation World Suppressing Seal (Not Initiated)+]

Sun Yu lowered the jade slip.

He closed the panel.

His gaze settled on the mountain of Top-grade Spirit Stones before him.

Top-grade Spirit Stones had hard shells. Ordinary martial artists had to hold one in their palm and circulate their cultivation method, drawing out its energy bit by bit.

Sun Yu had no patience for that.

He reached out with both hands and grabbed two handfuls of Top-grade Spirit Stones.

Then stuffed them into his mouth.

His jaws clamped down.

"Crack! Crack!"

Top-grade Spirit Stones, as hard as refined steel, shattered beneath Sun Yu's teeth, strengthened by his Great Perfection Sword Marrow.

He chewed and swallowed.

"Gulp."

The fragments slid down his throat into his stomach.

The Five Viscera Furnace roared into motion.

His violent gastric juices dissolved the fragments in an instant.

Vast amounts of pure spiritual energy exploded inside him.

Sun Yu's hands never stopped.

He grabbed Spirit Stones and shoved them into his mouth, handful after handful.

He ate them like crisp sugar beans.

His pale-gold Divine Sea greedily devoured the spiritual energy.

The level of his true essence rose at astonishing speed.

Under this savage manner of feeding, the foundations of his early Divine Sea Realm cultivation became incomparably solid.

His heartbeat pulsed steadily in his chest.

Sun Yu closed his eyes and sensed the passage of time.

"Thump."

Midnight.

The plus sign on his retina glimmered faintly.

Sun Yu brought his will down hard.

"Buzz!"

[Annihilation World Suppressing Seal (Initiated)!]

There were no flashy effects.

Hundreds, even thousands, of intricate methods for compressing true essence flooded his mind.

Vast muscle memories were forcibly etched into the nerves of his right arm.

Beneath his cold, pale skin, his Dark Gold Tendons throbbed wildly beyond his control.

Sun Yu opened his eyes.

He raised his right hand.

Palm facing up.

His five fingers curled slightly inward.

"Condense."

The pale-gold Divine Sea in his dantian abruptly contracted.

Dark red Asura Gang Qi surged through his meridians and flooded into his right palm.

Then the Prison Suppressing Force Field shrank with a roar.

Sun Yu dragged over the three-hundredfold gravity with brutal force and crammed it into the Gang Qi in his palm.

"Shhhh!"

The air ground violently against his palm, letting out a sharp hiss.

A fist-sized, dark red seal began to slowly take shape in his palm.

Its weight was immense.

Sun Yu's wrist sank half an inch under the pressure of the little seal.

Yet the light in his eyes only grew brighter.

"Still not enough."

Sun Yu relaxed his five fingers.

The dark red seal instantly collapsed, dispersing into a ring of air that burst outward.

He grabbed the Top-grade Spirit Stones on the ground and kept stuffing them into his mouth.

For the next few days,

Sun Yu did not leave the boulder once.

He sat cross-legged.

Ate Spirit Stones.

Spent points.

At midnight on the second day, [Annihilation World Suppressing Seal (Proficient)].

The seal forming in his palm shrank, but its color deepened and its density doubled. His wrist sank less, while the resilience of his tendons steadily increased under the extreme pressure.

At midnight on the third day, [Annihilation World Suppressing Seal (Mastered)].

At midnight on the fourth day, [Annihilation World Suppressing Seal (Minor Success)].

At midnight on the fifth day, [Annihilation World Suppressing Seal (Greater Success)].

The Top-grade Spirit Stones dwindled at a visible pace.

After several days of compressing gravity at high intensity, the Dark Gold Tendons in Sun Yu's right arm grew immensely thick.

Each tendon was like a dragon's sinew wound tight, pressed firmly beneath his cold, pale skin and gleaming with a chilling, blood-red light.

His right hand had completely adapted to controlling such extreme weight.

The sixth day.

Late at night.

Sun Yu had eaten all fifty thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones like sugar beans.

Not one remained.

He burped.

A white mist rich with spiritual energy escaped his mouth. It struck the boulder and punched a dent into it.

The foundations of his early Divine Sea Realm cultivation were now utterly solid. He could break through to the middle stage at any time.

But Sun Yu paid no attention to his cultivation level.

He closed his eyes and waited for the final point to arrive.

"Clang."

Midnight.

The panel appeared.

[Annihilation World Suppressing Seal (Greater Success)+]

Sun Yu brought his will down heavily.

"Buzz!"

[Annihilation World Suppressing Seal (Perfected)!]

"Rumble!!!"

A deep, muffled boom sounded within Sun Yu's body.

It was no thunderclap.

No sword cry.

It was a terrifying rumble, like a celestial body collapsing inward.

Every profound principle of the Annihilation World Suppressing Seal, every technique for compressing force to its limit—

in that instant, they achieved perfect, one-hundred-percent harmony with his Asura Undying Body and his Prison Suppressing Force Field!

The Martial Skill had been reborn.

It had become a terrifying killing move driven purely by an Extreme Dao Physique!

Sun Yu's eyes snapped open.

Deep in his dark pupils, the Dark Red Demonic Ring spun rapidly.

He rose from the boulder.

His right hand lifted.

Palm facing down.

No need to gather strength. No complicated formula required.

"Form the seal."

Sun Yu brought his five fingers together.

The Asura Gang Qi and the three-hundredfold Prison Suppressing Gravity compressed to the extreme beneath his palm.

In an instant,

a palm-sized, solid dark red seal appeared out of thin air!

There were no seal-script characters on its underside.

The space around the seal could not withstand its extreme density, and was forcibly pressed into fine black Spatial Rifts.

Sun Yu looked at the dark red seal beneath his palm.

In his hand, it was like holding a star compressed to its absolute limit.

Sun Yu's right arm muscles tensed in an instant.

Facing a stretch of flat wasteland a hundred paces ahead,

he casually

pressed his palm down.

"Go."

The dark-red seal shot from his hand.

There was no shrill whistle as it tore through the air.

No ear-splitting sonic boom.

The seal fell at incredible speed, slamming into the wasteland a hundred paces away in an instant.

"..."

Sun Yu stood atop the enormous rock, watching the ground ahead.

That flat wasteland

now held a square crater a hundred zhang across, its bottom nowhere in sight.

The crater's edges were so smooth they looked as if they had been sliced by the sharpest blade.

At the bottom, there was no rubble, not a speck of dirt.

The instant anything touched the seal, the force of gravity compressed to three hundred times its normal strength, together with the Asura Gang Qi, crushed it straight into the most fundamental nothingness!

Absolute erasure.

Absolute suppression.

Sun Yu lowered his right hand.

The dark-gold demonic patterns slowly faded from the back of his pale, cold hand.

He gazed at the bottomless square pit.

The corners of his mouth lifted in a deeply satisfied smile.

"Xiao Tiannan, you left me something pretty good."

Sun Yu brushed the stone dust from the hem of his brocade robe.

He strode down from the enormous rock.

Then he strode off into the distance.
