"Twin souls? One physical body, two demonic souls at the Half-Step King Realm?"
Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
The demon before them possessed combat power far exceeding that of the Blood Sha Spirit and Desert Worm they had previously slain, its overall strength being several times greater.
Seemingly sensing Su Yu's probing and approach, one of the six-armed giant ape's heads slowly opened its eyes.
Those were vertical pupils burning with pale white flames, cold, ancient, and devoid of any Spiritual Qi.
It gazed at Su Yu, who was as insignificant as an ant, its eyes devoid of anger or murderous intent, only displaying an aloof indifference, like a god looking down upon the mortal world.
"Another challenger."
A deep, ancient thought pierced through the void and resounded within Su Yu's sea of consciousness.
"Humans, this road is blocked."
"This place is the guardian of the Core of the Prison Realm. Retreat, or... die."
Su Yu did not respond, but instead quietly observed the strange giant ape demon with a hint of amusement.
At that moment, the giant ape's second head opened its eyes simultaneously.
In stark contrast to the pale, desolate left side of the head, deep within these eyes burned a savage, inky black flame.
"Brother, why waste your breath on him!"
A bloodthirsty and violent intent suddenly exploded.
"After centuries, we've finally got a decent dessert!"
"Crush him to death and devour his soul! You and I, brothers, might be able to seize this opportunity to completely merge, break through our shackles, and ascend to the King Realm!"
"Madness."
The mind of the lawful head on the left coldly rebuked.
"Guarding the Gate of the Prison Realm is an eternal mission etched into one's very soul."
"No one may leave the altar without permission, and no one may actively hunt intruders. This is an ironclad rule that cannot be violated."
As Su Yu listened to the two demonic souls arguing and struggling within his sea of consciousness, his expression became somewhat strange.
One is lawful and neutral, adhering to the rules. The other is chaotic, evil, bloodthirsty, and murderous.
"This gatekeeper demon is quite particular about rules and constraints."
He finally spoke, his voice calm and even, facing the hundred-foot-tall giant ape.
Where is the Gate of the Prison Realm?
You have no right to know.
The mind of the Orderly Head was as cold and hard as iron, without the slightest ripple.
"I will give you three breaths to retreat to a distance of a thousand feet from the altar."
"Failure to return the money by the deadline will be considered a deliberate provocation, and the perpetrators will be eliminated on the spot!"
"One."
"Two."
Su Yu remained standing still, motionless.
"Court death!"
The chaotic demonic spirit's furious intent erupted!
The giant ape, hundreds of feet tall and with six arms, suddenly rose up, its enormous body blotting out the sky and casting an endless shadow that completely enveloped Su Yu.
Its giant hand, covered in dark purple-gold armor, was raised high, carrying a terrifying force capable of shattering mountains and splitting peaks, and slammed down towards Su Yu's head!
Just as that deadly giant hand was about to strike!
"Stop!"
The Lord's head roared, forcefully suppressing control of the body and stopping the thunderous attack!
The violent palm strike stopped three feet above Su Yu's head, the howling wind whipping his robes wildly, its power terrifying.
"The challenger has not yet made a move; we cannot break the rules and kill first!"
"Brother! You're too old-fashioned!"
The chaotic demonic soul roared in fury, and two completely different Half-Step King Realm demonic souls were frantically pulling and fighting for control within the same physical body!
The massive ape body trembled violently, and the pressure emanating from it fluctuated wildly, becoming extremely unstable.
Su Yu watched the absurd internal struggle unfold before him with a faint, cold smile playing on his lips.
"It's futile to reason with a rigid rule-maker; it's better to break the rules and force the system to overload."
He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers together, and between his index and middle fingers, a wisp of purplish-black lightning, as thin as a hair, quietly condensed and took shape.
It possessed no earth-shattering power, no disturbance of laws, and was utterly unremarkable and inconspicuous.
Su Yu flicked his fingertip lightly.
laugh!
The faint sound of something cutting through the air was barely audible.
A wisp of lightning, as fine as an embroidery needle, pierced through the void and landed precisely on the edge of the giant skeletal altar.
The lightning vanished the moment it touched the altar, leaving not even a scorch mark or a ripple.
It may seem like nothing is happening, but in reality, the stalemate has already been broken.
That's enough.
"Warning! Intruder detected touching the altar!"
The mind of the Orderly Head instantly shed all emotion, leaving only the cold, mechanical voice of judgment.
"Judgment: The rule of deliberate provocation is met."
"Binding restrictions lifted, erasure program initiated!"
boom!!!
The moment the words fell, the two opposing, conflicting auras of the Half-Step King Realm within the giant ape instantly ceased their struggle!
Two terrifying forces resonated perfectly at an eerie frequency, layering upon each other!
An overwhelming pressure, far exceeding that of an ordinary Half-Step King Realm, poured down like billions of oceans, instantly engulfing the entire ring-shaped mountain range!
The heavens and earth trembled, and turbid air surged!
"Hehehe! Big brother, you've finally stopped stopping me!"
The chaotic demonic spirit let out a maniacal laugh.
The giant ape raised its six terrifying arms, covered in purple-gold crystal armor, simultaneously, and its six giant hands completely sealed off all escape routes from above, below, front, back, left, and right!
The terrifying force in his palm squeezed the void, causing the surrounding space to collapse and distort layer by layer, forming an airtight, deadly spatial cage!
Su Yu stood tall and straight like a spear, at the center of the decisive battle, his expression remaining calm and unchanged.
" Nine Heavens Thunder Suppression Pagoda!"
His mind raced, and the immense power of his Heaven Realm Eighth Level soul erupted completely!
Buzz--!
A nine-story lightning tower, formed from pure purple-black lightning, suddenly appeared out of nothingness!
The Thunder Tower rose to a height of a hundred feet amidst the storm, cascading down thousands of lightning waterfalls. Its majestic power suppressed all directions, firmly protecting Su Yu at the heart of the tower!
But the next second!
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Six terrifyingly powerful hands, capable of crushing everything, struck the Nine Heavens Thunder Suppression Pagoda simultaneously, without any sequence of events!
There were no elaborate laws to counteract each other, no dazzling energy annihilation.
Only the purest, most ferocious, and double the absolute power of the Half-Step King Realm!
Click... click!
The Nine Heavens Thunder Suppression Pagoda, which was powerful enough to suppress the souls of ordinary Half-Step King Realm, was as fragile as thin glass in the face of this supreme force!
The thunder dragon on the tower wailed and shattered, the divine patterns on the eaves broke inch by inch, and the entire thunder tower was instantly covered with fine cracks!
In the blink of an eye!
Boom!
The nine-story lightning tower exploded with a deafening roar, turning into countless tiny lightning fragments that dissipated into nothingness!
The terrifying aftershocks transformed into a destructive storm, violently engulfing Su Yu!
He was struck as if by a heavy blow, like a kite with a broken string, and was instantly blasted hundreds of feet away!
Bang!
Its body slammed violently against the hard, circular mountain wall, creating a deep, human-shaped crater!
"Puff!"
A mouthful of dark golden blood essence suddenly spurted out.
Su Yu slid slowly down the rough mountain wall, eventually kneeling on one knee, his body swaying slightly.
He looked up at the six-armed giant ape that was slowly lowering its massive hand and whose eyes were locked on him. There was no fear or panic in his eyes, only a chilling indifference.
" Twin Soul Resonance, power amplified more than three times."
"Pure laws of suppression will be directly crushed by absolute power."
"Conventional physical attacks are utterly ineffective."
"We must find an attack method that surpasses its reaction limits and can fundamentally destroy the physical body and soul."
Countless thoughts flashed through Su Yu's mind like lightning.
His gaze shifted slightly, landing on the system's martial arts panel, and finally settling on a Heaven Realm Thunder Technique that he had never used any Slaughter Points to deduce and cultivate.
The Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
This lightning technique does not pursue ultimate destruction and slaughter, but specializes in rapid transformation, soul imprisonment, and manipulation of laws!
"Roar!!!"
The six-armed giant ape gave Su Yu absolutely no chance to catch his breath or adjust.
One of the heads opened its massive maw, and a pale white beam of light tore through the sky, carrying a terrifying power that could freeze souls and Annihilation life, striking directly at Su Yu!
Lightning flashed beneath Su Yu's feet, and he instantly activated the Thunder Dragon Prison Suppression Step!
His figure left a clear afterimage in place, narrowly avoiding the deadly beam of light.
Boom!
The beam of light slammed into the mountainside behind them!
The hard rocks were instantly frozen into ice crystals by the extreme cold, extinguishing all life in the entire area, and even the laws and rhythms hidden within the mountain were completely sealed away in death!
"It even comes with a soul-freezing attack; they really think highly of me."
