Breaking the Record

"If you don't listen to the elders, you'll suffer right before your eyes."

Su Ye looked at the people around him who didn't believe him and could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

These words immediately made the surrounding crowd's teeth ache. They wanted to suppress him and give him a good beating; after all, everyone present was older than him except for that Milk Baby, yet he was still putting on airs in front of them.

"Hmph."

Ignoring the crowd, Su Ye let out a soft shout and stomped his feet hard against the ground. The entire earth rumbled and roared, as if a massive earthquake had struck.

Rocks shattered and the ground groaned. Deep, massive fissures appeared on the hard surface, spreading in all directions like spiderwebs or lightning, sending dust and smoke soaring into the sky.

The surrounding crowd was stunned by this terrifying power, but their expressions quickly turned to horror. Because the cracks were so large and numerous, they began to fall in one after another. Even as they unleashed runes and brought out treasures, they couldn't fly out because there were simply too many people.

At this moment, Su Ye shot toward the firmament like a javelin, piercing through layers of clouds as if he intended to shatter the heavens and fly beyond the sky.

"This physical body is not bad."

Lord Bird had already fled the scene at the first opportunity. Watching Su Ye in the sky, he nodded in evaluation.

"Indeed, it is not bad. This physical body has reached a strength of one hundred thousand jin, comparable to our own descendants."

Grandpa Jingbi appeared beside Lord Bird at some point and sighed, "This era will be a brilliant one, but it will also inevitably be a dark one."

First, the Double Pupil was born, and now two more strange little fellows have appeared. These are signs of great prosperity, but great prosperity is often accompanied by great calamity.

"A dark era?"

Lord Bird thought of the ancient times, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he whispered, "I feel something is wrong. During the ancient upheavals, those guys seemed to be intentionally targeting the Void God Realm."

The ancient wars were tragic, like an Asura field where gods fell like rain. The Void God Realm was caught in the crossfire, and its outer regions collapsed.

Grandpa Jingbi's expression turned cold and stern. "I have the same feeling. The Void God Realm is a special world, independent of the Eight Lower Realms. Yet, that ancient turmoil reached it, destroying many of its regions.

Most importantly, the rules of the Eight Lower Realms are currently incomplete and martial arts are in decline. The number of channels that can connect to the Void God Realm is dwindling, which will inevitably lead to a weakening of the power of faith. Once that power is lost, the Void God Realm will cease to function. At that point... it will truly be the end."

Lord Bird looked at Grandpa Jingbi and whispered, "You also believe that those upheavals targeting the Eight Realms were actually aimed at the Void God Realm?"

Grandpa Jingbi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Outsiders don't know, but how could those existences not know? The Void God Realm is a prison, and the Eight Lower Realms are the jailers guarding it. The stronger the Eight Realms, the stronger the seal. However, if the Eight Realms are weak, the seal will inevitably weaken. Once or twice might be a coincidence, but now it is happening again and again; it is clearly aimed at destroying the Eight Lower Realms."

"Sigh, even if we know now, what can we do?"

Lord Bird sighed. Although they were once incomparably powerful, that was in the past. They are very weak now, and they themselves have some problems; they simply cannot change anything.

"It's broken, the record is broken."

Someone shouted, looking at the Record Stele that had appeared in the void. Shi Yi's name had disappeared, replaced by "I Love Milk," which meant Shi Yi's record had been shattered.

Those who were previously cursing all fell silent, not even caring that they were buried underneath, because this news was too shocking.

Shi Yi, the undefeated myth, the Young Supreme.

Yet now his record had been broken. This would surely cause a huge sensation, and even those great sects and kingdoms would be stirred.

On the other side.

Shi Hao had already suppressed everyone who had tried to seize his precious bone or wanted to, piling them into a mountain of flesh. He sat atop the pile, looking at the figure slowly descending from the sky.

"It seems that my little brother isn't invincible either. There really are countless experts out there."

Little One muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, his eyes shining with light. A leap into the sky to break a record?

"However, to steal my thunder like that—just wait until I break it for you later."

Little One said indignantly, looking at the mountain of flesh beneath him. Since he had already beaten them, letting them go now would be a waste of effort.

Waste is shameful.

He had cultivated the fine virtue of thrift since he was a child.

Little One looked at a middle-aged man not far away and said, "You offended me, so you need to pay compensation."

As he spoke, he pointed at Su Ye in the distance. "See that guy? Even he has to pay me compensation for offending me. He only set dogs on me, and I already took a piece of his precious bone. You sent so many people to bite me, so you must pay with your clan's precious techniques."

The people piled up below looked terrible upon hearing this. To be compared to dogs was a naked humiliation.

Hateful, they deserved to die.

"Boom."

Shi Hao didn't waste any more words. He waved the Crimson Feather Treasure Fan in his hand, blowing away a few people in the distance to let them go and report the news, then turned his gaze to the crystal-clear precious bone in Su Ye's hand.

In the Void God Realm, every time a record is broken, a reward is obtained. Most of these rewards are precious bones. Although these are not powerful precious bones, the primitive runes on them are not hidden, allowing one to contemplate and gain insight into the primitive runes.

"Let me see it."

Shi Hao appeared in front of Su Ye with a "whoosh," his eyes burning as he looked at the precious bone. He felt that this bone was extraordinary, covered in many profound patterns.

"Wait until I'm done contemplating it."

Su Ye said, looking at the precious bone in his hand. A light emerged in his eyes, and mysterious patterns appeared, allowing him to perceive everything and imprint the primitive runes from the bone into his vision.

"Eh?"

Shi Hao noticed something. He looked into Su Ye's eyes and saw those profound patterns, and the smile on his face instantly vanished.

Because he thought of a person, and thought of a pair of cold eyes—a pair of eyes devoid of any emotion, staring right at him.

Su Ye used the "Copy" ability of his Samsara Eye to imprint the primal runes contained within the precious bone into his gaze, which allowed him to contemplate them more effectively. Looking at Little One beside him and noticing that the other's expression seemed a bit off, he realized what was happening and laughed, "You are like a person bitten by a snake who fears a coiled rope for ten years."

"What does that mean? I don't understand."

Little One looked at Su Ye with some wariness. At this moment, he realized that he seemed to have never truly seen through this person from the very beginning, yet the other seemed to know everything about him.

Su Ye smiled, knowing exactly what the other was wary of.

Although Little One usually acted carefree and appeared quite foolish and silly, in reality, he was extremely intelligent. Even from just a tiny clue, he could follow the trail to uncover something much larger.
