The Qing Province Demon Suppression Bureau is located a hundred feet underground in an extremely secret stone chamber.
This place is built from the most solid basalt, and the walls and ground are engraved with dense Spirit Gathering Array patterns. The Spiritual Qi in the air is so rich that it is almost like a tangible mist.
Su Yu sat cross-legged on the futon in the center of the stone chamber, completely shut out from the noise of the outside world.
He gripped the warm, purple jade slip with thunder patterns tightly, immersing his divine sense within it.
Buzz!
In an instant, it felt as if billions of thunderbolts exploded simultaneously in my mind.
The vast and profound information in " Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Prison " carried an aura of laws belonging to the Heaven Realm, forcefully washing over his soul.
Su Yu's consciousness blurred for a moment, and the stone chamber in front of him disappeared.
He felt as if he had been pulled into a chaotic, void space.
In the space, eight giant dragon phantoms composed of pure law power are coiled in eight directions, each taking on different forms such as wind, rain, thunder, lightning, mountain, marsh, fire, and water.
With each breath they took, they stirred the birth and death of the entire chaos; with each dragon's roar, they seemed to expound the supreme rules of heaven and earth.
This is the manifestation of the true meaning of the " Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Prison " technique.
To enter the realm of cultivation, one must comprehend at least one form of law and introduce it into the dantian (energy center) to create the first " Heavenly Dragon Vortex ".
Su Yu was completely absorbed in it, Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Platform within his sea of consciousness trembled slightly as it frantically analyzed this power of comprehension.
One hour.
Two hours.
As Su Yu's consciousness withdrew from that chaotic space, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
[Ding! Comprehension progress of " Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Prison ": Not yet at the beginner level]
The system's notification sound was cold and realistic.
Su Yu showed no surprise.
The Heaven Realm Technique is no longer a simple method of energy transfer, but a key to unlocking the laws of heaven and earth.
Let alone two hours, even the most gifted genius would not be able to even touch the threshold without years or even decades of hard work.
The fact that the Wang Du him three months was already an extremely optimistic estimate.
[The normal route, as expected, is blocked.]
The thought flashed through Su Yu's mind, but his eyes remained completely unmoved.
[Since that's the case...]
A smile, only he could understand, curved his lips into a smile.
[I still need to use cheats.]
"System, give me some points!"
Without hesitation, he issued the order.
[Host: Su Yu ]
[ Slaughter Points: 5,730,000]
[Cultivation Technique: Suppressing Prisons and Subduing Demons - Heaven Realm Scroll: Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Prison (Beginner)]
[Ding! 500,000 Slaughter Points consumed. The " Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Prison " simulation has begun...]
boom!!!
A torrent of insights, hundreds or even thousands of times greater than before, surged forth like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, instantly engulfing his entire sea of consciousness!
This time, we will no longer be observing those eight dragons of law through a veil.
Instead, the system directly disassembled the bones, meridians, flesh, and even souls of those eight giant dragons, transforming them into the most primitive law runes, and forcibly imprinted them into the depths of his soul in a brutal, almost cramming-like manner!
The trajectory of the wind, the fury of thunder, the resilience of water, the solidity of the mountains...
All the mysteries of the laws, under the burning of the Slaughter Points, shed all pretense and revealed their most essential essence to him.
Su Yu's body began to tremble violently. His skin would sometimes crackle with electricity, sometimes rise with water vapor, and sometimes become as heavy as a rock.
His aura was rising at an alarming rate!
Earth Realm Ninth Level Peak... Bottleneck... Loosening...
Click!
It was as if an invisible shackle shattered within him!
[Ding! " Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Prison " has been upgraded to: Beginner!]
[Host's cultivation level has increased: Half-Step Heaven Realm!]
It's done!
Su Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of light containing the essence of laws flashed by, shooting two bottomless holes into the basalt wall in front of him.
He could clearly feel that the " Yellow Springs Prison Qi " within his body was undergoing a qualitative transformation, converting into the so-called " Heavenly Dragon Sacred Power ".
Just one last step.
Once he successfully creates the first spiritual energy vortex within his Qi Sea, he will be able to officially enter the Heaven Realm First Level!
At that time, he will be qualified to refine the "locked-up" Ancient Blood Demon Ancestor's origin!
Su Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart, immediately calmed his mind, and guided the nascent Heavenly Dragon Sacred Power within his body, as described in the cultivation technique, to begin constructing the prototype of the first vortex in his dantian.
However, at that very moment...
A sudden change has occurred!
Buzz--!
A terrifying tremor, originating from the depths of his soul, exploded without warning in his sea of consciousness!
In the center of that mostly dried-up Azure Nether sea of clouds, the miniature golden dragon, which had been tightly bound by the purple-black lightning chains left behind by the Wang Du, suddenly opened its pale golden vertical pupils that looked down on all living beings!
It sensed it!
It sensed Su Yu's transformation! It sensed that newly born " Heavenly Dragon Sacred Power," brimming with the aura of laws!
This ant, with its body designated as its "nest," actually attempted to break free of control and evolve to another level of life!
This is a provocation!
This is the most blatant trampling of the imperial authority!
"Roar--!!!"
A Soundless dragon roar, powerful enough to make even a saint change color, echoed wildly within Su Yu's sea of consciousness!
Click! Click! Click!
Those purplish-black chains, formed from the sixth level of the Wang Du Heaven Realm Sixth Stage Law of Thunder the Royal Capital, groaned under the impact of this violent Emperor Realm Dragon Intent, their surfaces cracking like a spiderweb!
The seal is about to break!
Su Yu's expression changed, and he tried to forcibly stop his breakthrough.
But it was too late!
Once the breakthrough begins, it's like an arrow shot from a bow—there's no turning back!
As the miniature golden dragon sensed the increasingly powerful vitality and aura of law within Su Yu's body, its cold, vertical pupils, instead of blazing with destructive fury, surged forth an almost greedy ecstasy and burning heat!
"I see..."
"This is not the struggle of an ant..."
An ancient, domineering thought, filled with supreme majesty, broke through the blockade of thunder and resounded in Su Yu's soul for the first time with such clarity.
"... but rather, you are the sacrifice you offered to me, the Emperor!"
