At the end of the canyon, all was deathly Soundless.
The blade of law slashed down from the stone wall by the figure of the King Realm was formless and intangible, yet it contained the ultimate will to annihilate all things.
Before this single strike, space, time, and even all matter lose their meaning.
The only possible outcome is "being severed".
Outside the canyon, Luo Yuan's soul trembled. She felt as if the foundation of her martial arts was about to crumble under this invisible blade, as if her soul would be wiped out at any moment!
However, Su Yu, facing this knife head-on, remained as calm as an abyss in his chaotic eyes.
"A remnant soul's will, bearing the imprint of laws, yet lacking the body of the King Realm to bear it."
"Just a database trapped here for countless years, left only with obsessive thoughts."
The thought flashed through his mind, but he remained completely unmoved by the figure's roar and anger.
Just as the blade of law was about to touch the very essence of his soul.
The ancient seal between Su Yu's brows, composed of purple-gold and bluish-gray, shone brightly!
Azure Nether and Purple Gold: Divine Punishment Illuminated by Hell!
Buzz--!
The seal did not fly out and collide with the blade of law, but instead projected a vast blue-gray light screen from between Su Yu's eyebrows.
The light curtain, as smooth as a mirror, instantly covered the entire end of the canyon.
The Mirror of Nether Illumination!
The moment that King Realm will and the blade of law it unleashed were reflected in the mirror.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
In the mirror, countless jet-black " Sin Mark " appeared on the towering figure!
That was the sin of its "obsession" that refused to simply vanish!
It was the sin of "resentment" that led to its demise, despite being a powerful being!
It is its "arrogance" in clinging to its own way and rejecting all outsiders that is its sin!
These flaws at the level of the soul are laid bare under the Mirror of Nether Illumination!
"Roar--!!!"
For the first time, the figure on the stone wall let out a roar that was not like the sound of a blade, but purely composed of spiritual will!
It felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation and fear!
This tiny intruder before them did not respond to its Dao with a knife, nor did it use force to resist its laws.
He was like a high and mighty god, judging its soul!
The next moment.
On the seal between Su Yu's eyebrows, the ancient seal character "Zhen" lit up suddenly!
The purple-gold Prison Suppression, following the " Sin Mark " reflected in the mirror, crashed down like precisely guided Divine Thunder of Heavenly Punishment!
The bluish-gray mist transformed into countless invisible needles, piercing the root of those obsessions and resentments!
This is not a contest of strength.
This is a precise strangulation at the level of the soul!
"No!!!"
That King Realm will let out a final roar filled with resentment and horror.
Its proud blade of law, capable of annihilating everything, crumbled inch by inch before it even touched Su Yu, turning into fragments of its most primordial Saber Intent.
The blurry, towering figure on the stone wall, under the combined attack of the purple-gold divine power and the Azure Nether mist, melted and disintegrated rapidly, like an ice sculpture exposed to the blazing sun!
It was not defeated.
It was... conceptually erased!
boom!
As that King Realm will completely dissipated, what it transformed into was an unprecedentedly pure and vast torrent of sword dao enlightenment!
It was a surging river of swords, containing 1,327 variations of Saber Intent, and the imprint of the " Law of the Saber " that ultimately reached the threshold!
Having lost its master's will, this torrent instinctively wanted to dissipate and return to this world.
Su Yu slowly raised his eyes, and the nine- Prison-Suppressing Platform in his sea of consciousness began to operate with a roar.
An invisible, domineering suction force emanated from his body.
"I accept your path."
He spoke calmly, as if stating a given fact.
The long river of sword energy, which was about to collapse, seemed to receive a royal decree, suddenly paused, and then changed direction, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, surging wildly into Su Yu's brow!
Outside the canyon.
Luo Yuan was still reeling from the shock of feeling the overwhelming power of the King Realm sword, when suddenly, that pressure... vanished.
It didn't dissipate slowly; instead, it stopped abruptly, as if swallowed whole by something!
She looked up in horror, gazing into the depths of the canyon.
Su Yu remained seated cross-legged, but at that moment, the sword at his waist, which had never been drawn, was emitting an extremely loud buzzing sound. Visible gray sword energy swirled around his body, cutting through the void with a hissing sound!
Within the canyon.
A monstrous wave surged within Su Yu's consciousness.
Under the infusion of that pure understanding of the Dao of the Sword, his swordsmanship underwent an incredible transformation!
" Saber Intent, perfected!"
It all happened in no more than ten breaths!
The perfect Saber Intent that countless swordsmen could not achieve even after a lifetime of effort was as easy as drinking water for Su Yu!
He could sense that, if he so desired, he could unleash a blade imbued with a trace of true "law" power at any time!
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, a sharp blade of light flashing in them, and the surrounding blade energy completely receded into his body.
He stood up and looked at the smooth, mirror-like black stone wall in front of him.
The King Realm's will had dissipated, and the stone wall returned to its ordinary appearance.
But at this moment, in Su Yu's eyes, whose Saber Intent Perfection, this stone wall was no longer empty.
He "saw" it.
Beneath the purest imprint of the sword left by that King Realm expert, lies another, deeper, and more subtle emotion.
That's not the domineering arrogance of the strong.
Instead...
fear.
A profound fear that runs deep in your bones, a fear that cannot be erased even after death and the dissipation of your soul, leaving only a lingering obsession!
What would a King Realm expert fear?
Su Yu's brows furrowed slightly for the first time.
He extended his index and middle fingers, which were joined together, and gently touched the cold stone wall with the newly perfected Saber Intent swirling around his fingertips.
The instant his fingertips touched the stone wall, a broken, blurry image, filled with despair and bloodshed, flashed through his mind like lightning!
It was a darkness deeper than the Prison Suppression, and within that darkness, countless pairs of eyes, filled with indescribable greed and malice, slowly opened...
"I see."
Su Yu withdrew his finger, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
This so-called inheritance of the King Realm is not a matter of chance at all.
This is a warning.
A bloody warning left behind by a powerful King Realm expert who also ventured into this place five hundred years ago, using his last strength!
He slowly turned around and looked out of the canyon at the figure still protecting him.
" Luo Yuan."
His voice, traveling through the canyon, reached the woman's ears clearly.
"Your ancestor returned alive from here."
Did he tell you...?
Su Yu paused for a moment, then calmly asked the question that was enough to overturn everything.
How many gifts did he give back then?
