"Walk."
A single word broke the deathly silence.
Luo Yuan snapped back to reality, looking at Su Yu's back as he turned to face forward. Her throat went dry, and she silently followed.
She has given up thinking about it.
She wasn't surprised by anything this man did.
Breakthrough on the spot, devour the Demon King alive, and instantly kill the Hei Sha.
Even if he said he was going to tear a hole in the sky above this forbidden area, Luo Yuan would probably just nod numbly and ask, "Do you need me to hand you a knife?"
The two continued deeper into the central region.
The deeper they went, the more solemn Luo Yuan's expression became.
The Chaos Qi here was no longer just viscous; it was more like an invisible millstone, constantly crushing her protective spiritual power and causing her immense consumption.
During their journey, they encountered several more attacks.
Tentacles emerged from the swamp, capable of directly corroding spiritual energy—the " Corrupting Demon Octopus," Heaven Realm Third Level.
There is a " Ghost-Faced Owl," Heaven Realm Fourth Level expert, hidden among the Kumu, moving with ghostly speed and skilled in mental attacks.
Without exception, they were all cleanly and efficiently dealt with by Su Yu with a single punch or finger.
Luo Yuan discovered that Su Yu seemed to be deliberately suppressing his Qi Refinement Refining cultivation and the Law of the Saber. Most of the time, he was using pure physical strength to resolve battles.
With each punch, the immense power of her blood and qi made even Heaven Realm Second Level like her heart pound with fear.
He is adapting to the strength.
Luo Yuan came to a conclusion.
He treated all the terrifying demons he encountered in the forbidden area as whetstones for adapting to his new powers.
Just then, Su Yu stopped abruptly without warning.
Luo Yuan's heart tightened, and she followed his gaze.
A hundred feet ahead, on a massive black rock, lay a giant lion, its size comparable to a small hill.
The giant lion was covered in black, metallic scales, its mane was ablaze with black flames, and black Sha Qi emanated from its four paws, constantly eroding the ground and making a hissing sound.
Its eyes were closed, and with each breath, it caused subtle ripples in the surrounding space.
The Heaven Realm Fifth Level, the Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion.
A top predator known for its physical strength and Sha Qi aura.
"Roar..."
Seemingly sensing that it was being watched, the Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion slowly opened its massive, lava-like eyes, its gaze locking onto Su Yu.
A terrifying pressure, mixed with savagery and ferocity, swept in like a tsunami.
Luo Yuan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her knuckles gripping the spear tightened.
The mere pressure was enough to render her almost immobile.
For the first time, Su Yu's face showed a hint of interest.
"A good target," he muttered to himself.
The next moment, he calmly gave an order to Luo Yuan behind him.
"Get back a bit, don't get killed by the aftershocks of the battle."
Before he could finish speaking, he stomped his foot!
boom!
The ground exploded into a spiderweb-like crater, Su Yu, like a cannonball, charged head-on at the Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion without using any movement techniques, relying solely on the power of his physical body!
"Madman!"
Luo Yuan had only those two words left in her mind, but her body honestly retreated rapidly, only stopping when she was a thousand feet away, still feeling lingering fear.
"Roar!"
Faced with Su Yu's provocation, the Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion became completely enraged.
It opened its blood-red maw, and a black beam of light containing terrifying corrosive Sha Qi instantly shot out!
Su Yu neither dodged nor evaded; his internal energy surged, and crimson and dark gold patterns instantly covered his entire body.
The Scarlet Baleful Intent Wisdom King Body!
He met the black beam of light head-on with a punch!
Bang--!
The pure qi and blood fist energy collided solidly with the beam of Sha Qi light, unleashing a dull, loud bang.
The beam of light shattered with a single punch, but Su Yu's figure was also jolted in mid-air by the recoil.
[A third-level Body Refinement Heaven Realm Third Level, struggling against Heaven Realm Fifth Level cultivator—it was indeed somewhat of a stretch.]
A clear judgment flashed through Su Yu's mind.
Before he could adjust his stance, the massive body of the Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion had already pounced close, its sharp claws carrying the black fiend energy that tore through the air, and slammed down on his head!
Su Yu crossed his arms and held them horizontally in front of him.
clang!!!
A deafening clang of metal clashing.
Su Yu was slammed down from mid-air, crashing into the ground like a meteorite, creating a huge crater tens of meters wide.
"Puff."
Amidst the smoke and dust, Su Yu stood up and exhaled a breath of foul air tinged with blood.
Five deep, bone-revealing claw marks were left on his arms as he parried. Black, Sha Qi, like maggots clinging to bones, was frantically burrowing into the wounds, trying to erode his flesh.
But the next moment, his blood and qi boiled like magma, burning away the invading Sha Qi, and his wounds began to wriggle and heal at a visible speed.
Luo Yuan, watching from afar, felt her heart leap into her throat.
He's injured!
This was the first time she had seen Su Yu injured in battle!
"Roar!"
Having landed a successful blow, the Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion became even more ferocious, its massive body lunging forward once more, unleashing a storm of blood and gore.
Su Yu watched the giant lava eyes getting closer and closer, but his face showed no panic. Instead, he grinned.
[Test ended.]
[The limit of the " Scarlet Baleful Intent Wisdom King Body " at the Minor Accomplishment Realm is just this.]
A thought flashed through his mind.
[System, consuming one million Slaughter Points, deducing the " Scarlet Baleful Intent Wisdom King Body "!]
[Ding! 1,000,000 Slaughter Points consumed, deduction in progress...]
boom!!!
Just as the Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion's claws were about to touch Su Yu's head...
An indescribable aura, as immortal, indestructible, and indestructible as primordial divine metal, suddenly awakened within Su Yu's body!
At that moment, all the bones in his body emitted a crisp, crackling sound, like glass shattering!
Immediately afterwards, a dark, thick layer of gold seeped out from deep within his bones, instantly covering his skin, flesh, and fascia!
At this moment, his body seemed no longer to be made of flesh and blood, but rather to be cast from some kind of eternal and immortal divine metal!
The Scarlet Baleful Intent Wisdom King Body - The Major Accomplishment Realm!
Indestructible Vajra Bones!
clang--!!!!
The Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion's claws, powerful enough to shatter mountains, slammed solidly into Su Yu's head.
The expected bloody scene of a head exploding did not occur.
Instead, a deafening roar, more ear-piercing than any previous collision, shattered the very soul!
The Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion felt as if its claws had struck an unshakeable ancient divine mountain!
An incredibly terrifying force of recoil surged back from its sharp claws!
Click!
A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.
It wasn't from Su Yu.
It comes from the Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion!
Its indestructible claws were broken inch by inch, and its entire forearm was twisted and deformed at a bizarre angle!
"Roar...?"
For the first time, the savagery in the Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion's eyes was replaced by bewilderment and terror.
It couldn't understand why this human, whom it had just swatted away with a single claw, had suddenly become even tougher than it!
Su Yu slowly raised his head.
His once calm eyes had somehow transformed into a pure dark gold, devoid of any emotion, like those of a deity looking down upon all living beings.
He raised his right hand, which had also turned dark gold, and grabbed the twisted forearm of the Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion.
Then, under Luo Yuan's dazed gaze...
Tear it open with a swift motion!
Sizzle--!
Blood splattered everywhere!
Su Yu actually tore off the Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion's thick forearm, along with large chunks of flesh and scales!
