Purchasing a Treasure Worth a Million Villain Points: The Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, Supreme Emperor Bell!

"Bastard!!!"

Shenkong Ye's final howl echoed through the hall.

Bzz!

The golden essence of his sacred body left his flesh entirely, forming a dazzling ball of golden light that the essence crystal absorbed in full!

Shenkong Ye collapsed limply to the floor, his aura plummeting. It was as though his spine had been ripped out; he did not even have the strength to lift a finger.

[Ding! Heaven-Destined Protagonist Shenkong Ye has lost his Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. Destiny value reduced by 100,000!]

[Heaven-Destined Protagonist Shenkong Ye's relationship with Heaven-Destined Heroine Miao Yin Yun has ruptured. Destiny value reduced by 50,000!]

[Congratulations, Master! You have gained 150,000 Villain Points!]

Yun Qi presented the essence crystal and the Storage Ring Yun Ya had just taken out to Su Linxian.

He spoke hoarsely. "Divine Son of the Su Family..."

"Surely this will suffice now?"

Su Linxian nodded slightly.

"Of course."

"Since that is settled, let this engagement be dissolved."

Yun Ya's whole body relaxed, his stooped figure sinking a little lower.

Then he bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Yun Qi, take Miao Yin. Let us go."

"Back to the Yun Family."

Holding the weakened Miao Yin Yun, Yun Qi glanced at Shenkong Ye beside them and nodded. He enveloped both of them in spiritual energy and shakily left the hall.

Silence returned to the hall.

"Alas..."

Third Elder Su lifted his teacup and took a sip, his grizzled brows easing somewhat.

"Old Ya, Old Ya. If you knew it would come to this, why do it in the first place?"

Su Linxian toyed with the Storage Ring in his hand, then casually tossed it.

The ring traced a precise arc through the air and came to hover steadily before Shangyu Su.

Shangyu Su froze.

"Lord Divine Son... what is this?"

"Consider it compensation," Su Linxian said indifferently.

"Take it."

Shangyu Su was overwhelmed by the favor.

"Lord Divine Son, this is too precious. I cannot accept it..."

Su Linxian said, "Enough. If I tell you to take it, take it."

"Well..." Shangyu Su glanced at his grandfather beside him.

Only after seeing the Third Elder nod did he hastily bow.

"Thank you, Lord Divine Son!"

At that moment, Grand Elder Su spoke with a hint of concern.

"Lord Divine Son."

"What is it?"

"Forgive my bluntness, but I worry that doing this... might damage the relationship between our Emperor Clan, the Su Family, and the Yun Family..."

Competition among the Emperor Clans was fierce. Making too many enemies was hardly a good thing.

Quite a few of the elders present shared that concern.

Su Linxian spoke calmly.

"Elders."

"How does our Su Family compare to the Yun Family?"

The Grand Elder was momentarily puzzled, unsure how to answer.

In the seat of honor, Patriarch Shenyue Su held his teacup and calmly took up the question.

"To answer you, Lord Divine Son."

"We are stronger, never weaker."

Su Linxian nodded slightly.

"Then, in this age, is there anyone of the younger generation in the Emperor Realm?"

Shenyue Su narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly and replied with a smile.

"The Yun Family's most outstanding member of this generation, Yun Qi, is only at the peak of the Saint Realm."

"Reaching the Saint Realm after three hundred years of cultivation already makes Yun Qi a favored son of heaven."

"As for someone of the younger generation in the Emperor Realm, as you asked?"

"Not merely the Yun Family—even counting every major Emperor Clan, there is not a single one."

Su Linxian grinned.

"Then what does it matter if our relationship shatters?"

He turned, his figure still straight as a pine. His white robes glimmered faintly in the sunset's lingering light, and he raised the corners of his lips.

"In this age, I, Su Linxian, shall suppress destiny."

With those words, Su Linxian laughed loudly and strode toward the doors.

His laughter rang clear and unrestrained throughout the hall.

"Yu Yao, we're leaving."

"Coming, Master!"

Yu Yao skipped after Su Linxian, disappearing through the doors.

After they left.

The hall abruptly fell silent for a moment.

The elders stood stunned, his words echoing over and over in their minds.

At last, one elder snapped out of his daze and slapped his thigh.

"Exactly! Yun Qi is only in the Saint Realm at three hundred years old, while our Divine Son has attained the Emperor Realm at a mere hundred—something rarely seen throughout the ages! It is by no means impossible for him to attain the Dao and become a Divine Emperor one day!"

"With a prodigy like the Divine Son among us, our Emperor Clan, the Su Family, will only grow stronger, leaving the other Emperor Clans far behind!"

"Given time, the Divine Son will surely attain the Dao and reach the God Emperor Realm!"

"Even if we fall out with every Emperor Clan, what of it!"

The atmosphere in the hall instantly reversed. The Grand Elder stroked his beard and laughed as well, his eyes gleaming.

Outside the hall.

Yu Yao trotted out after him, her golden dragon horns sparkling in the sunset.

She caught up to Su Linxian and tilted her little face upward, her golden, slit-pupiled eyes full of admiration.

"Master! You were so amazing just now!"

"Flattery won't help."

"When are we going out to play?"

"After I refine the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body."

Su Linxian glanced down at her, then ignored her and continued walking.

Yu Yao doggedly followed behind him, chattering without pause.

They made their way back to his bedchamber.

Yu Yao cradled the ancient essence.

Her large golden eyes fixed on the essence crystal in his sleeve.

The essence crystal was transparent throughout, rich golden light swirling within it. The essence of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body slowly churned inside, emanating an ancient, weighty aura.

"Master, Master, is this the essence of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body?"

Yu Yao leaned over the table, her golden, slit-pupiled eyes sparkling as she murmured.

"It's quite pretty..."

Su Linxian took the essence crystal and casually tapped her forehead.

"Enough. Hand it over."

"Go play by yourself."

"This emperor needs to cultivate."

Yu Yao covered her forehead and retreated to the side, pouting.

Su Linxian sat cross-legged, holding the essence crystal in his palm.

The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was one of the Ten Primordial Sacred Bodies, with an invincible physique and blood vitality as vast as the sea.

If he could fully refine it and merge it into himself, his physical strength would soar to a terrifying level. Without invoking any Emperor Power, he would be able to contend with a being at the peak Emperor Realm through physical strength alone!

Su Linxian stirred his thoughts.

"System."

"How long will it take to refine the essence of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body?"

[Ding! Refining the essence of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body is extremely difficult. Estimated time required: at least one thousand years.]

Su Linxian frowned.

A thousand years?

Too long.

Although he was young, spending a thousand years merely to refine the essence of a sacred body was rather wasteful.

"Is there another way?"

[Ding! Recommended purchase: Emperor Realm treasure [Supreme Emperor Bell]. It can create a time-acceleration domain within the bell. One day inside the Supreme Emperor Bell equals one year in the outside world. Exchange price: 1,000,000 Villain Points.]

Time acceleration?

Su Linxian's eyes lit up.

One day equaled a year outside. That ratio defied the heavens.

With this treasure, not only could he refine the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, but his daily cultivation would also speed up greatly.

"One million Villain Points..." Su Linxian murmured softly.

He glanced at his current Villain Points.

[Villain Points: 1,120,000]

Although a million Villain Points was expensive, he had fortunately just reaped a considerable amount and had enough to cover it.

"Purchase."

[Ding! Successfully exchanged for the Supreme Emperor Bell · Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!]

[1,000,000 Villain Points consumed!]

[Current remaining Villain Points: 120,000]

Bzz.

Su Linxian immediately summoned the Supreme Emperor Bell.

A small, antique bronze bell appeared in his palm.

The bell was only palm-sized, its surface densely covered in temporal Dao runes. Each marking slowly flowed, emanating an air of ancient mystery.

"Go."
