"Forget it, a hundred years from now, a catastrophe will befall us. Hopefully, you can be a variable in that process..."
That ancient and mechanical thought left a final sigh in Su Yu's mind.
The next second, the illusory figure formed by the crimson runes, along with the power of the rules that froze time and space, vanished completely.
Just as the tide recedes, all things return to their proper order.
The sound of wind rose again, and the energy of heaven and earth resumed its normal flow.
The power that had been restrained at Su Yu's fingertips finally broke through completely.
puff.
A soft sound rang out.
The hundred-foot-tall giant ape, freed from the confinement of the spirit realm and with its two souls completely collapsing, disintegrated inch by inch like a sand sculpture.
Ultimately, it transformed into countless purple-black specks of light, completely dissolving and returning to nothingness.
Su Yu slowly withdrew his finger and exhaled a long breath.
"There was no murderous intent whatsoever; it was more like a program encountering a fatal bug and being forced to restart and reset."
He quickly determined the reason in his mind, then his gaze returned to his palm.
There lay there quietly a deep yellow crystal the size of a fist.
It was Prison Realm Core Fragment had just been retrieved from the Annihilation Thunder Domain.
The crystal feels warm and translucent to the touch, as if it contains a microcosm of a world, profound and magnificent, with endless depth.
Su Yu did not delve into the object's wondrous uses.
The origins of the Prison Realm Divine Core are mysterious and cannot be deciphered in a short time.
He casually put the crystal into his storage space and immediately turned his attention back to himself.
With a thought, the system panel instantly unfolded.
[Host: Su Yu ]
[Cultivation Level: Qi Refinement Heaven Realm Third Level, Spirit Refinement Heaven Realm Ninth Level, Body Refinement Heaven Realm Ninth Level ]
[Cultivation Technique: Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Prison ( Heaven Realm Supreme Grade - Great Completion)...]
[ Slaughter Points: 7,250,000]
The Spirit Refinement Heaven Realm Ninth Level.
Body Refinement Heaven Realm Ninth Level.
His Qi Refinement cultivation was stuck at the Heaven Realm Third Level, which became the only weakness in his cultivation system.
Su Yu's gaze settled on " Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Prison ".
This top-grade Heaven Realm cultivation technique allows one to create a Heavenly Dragon Spiritual Energy vortex in the dantian with each breakthrough.
The eightfold perfection, the eight vortexes spinning, gathering energy to form a prison, awe-inspiring in all directions.
He currently only has three.
"System."
"How many Slaughter Points are needed to directly upgrade the ' Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Prison ' from the Heaven Realm Third Level to the Heaven Realm Sixth Stage?"
[Ding! The " Eightfold Heavenly Dragon Prison " is a top-grade Heaven Realm cultivation technique. Upgrading it across levels increases the cost with each level.]
A series of precise consumption values popped up.
In the past, this expense would have been enough to completely bankrupt him.
But at this moment, Su Yu's expression remained completely calm.
"Full upgrade."
[Ding! Order received! Consuming 4.5 million Slaughter Points! Initiating forced simulation and upgrade!]
boom!!!
The moment the command was given, Su Yu's dantian and qi sea went completely berserk!
The three vortexes of Heavenly Dragon Sacred Power, which were originally rotating smoothly, were now as if they had been hit by three blazing suns.
Suddenly, it erupted with endless divine light and boundless heat!
An unprecedented torrent of pure energy was born out of thin air, washing over every limb and bone, cleansing the meridians throughout the body!
Click!
The invisible shackles of cultivation shattered instantly!
Within his dantian, the fourth magnificent vortex of Dragon Might spiritual energy rapidly condensed and took shape amidst the raging energy!
Qi Refinement! Heaven Realm Fourth Level!
But the surging energy shows no signs of diminishing!
boom!!!
The fifth vortex of spiritual energy has materialized!
Qi Refinement! Heaven Realm Fifth Level!
Boom--!!!
The sixth majestic dragon-shaped formation took shape with a roar, firmly suppressing the four directions of the Qi Sea!
Qi Refinement! Heaven Realm Sixth Stage!
The entire process took no more than ten breaths.
Su Yu Qi Refinement cultivation has broken through three realms in succession!
Six enormous vortexes of Heavenly Dragon Sacred Power rotated slowly within the dantian in a mysterious array.
They resonate with each other, endlessly regenerating, forming an extremely terrifying spiritual energy cycle system.
The total amount of holy power within his body has increased more than tenfold compared to before!
Su Yu slowly clenched his fists.
The physical body, soul, and spiritual power are unified, surging with immense strength, as if one could tear the sky apart with a mere gesture.
A satisfied smile curved his lips.
" Slaughter Points remaining: 2.75 million."
"Indeed, points are the fastest shortcut to cultivation."
At the same time.
Beyond the secret realm lies a bottomless abyss beneath the Nan Province.
Endless darkness, eternal silence.
Zheng Xuan stood tall and straight like a sculpture, quietly standing before the completely healed rock strata.
Several hours have passed since the portal to the secret realm disappeared.
The Imperial Guard captain under his command secretly sent three messages requesting instructions on whether to withdraw the troops and return to camp.
According to common sense.
The portal to the secret realm collapsed, and no one stepped out; the chances of survival for those who entered were almost zero.
But Zheng Xuan remained unmoved.
The divine imprint left by the supreme ruler echoed repeatedly in his mind.
"Hold the whetstone exit and wait for him."
A simple statement, yet it carried an absolute confidence that he carried the imperial decree and had no room for doubt.
Zheng Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his five fingers gripping the knife with distinct knuckles, the force as solid as a mountain.
"Your Majesty, can you truly foresee the future?"
"Are you absolutely certain that this person can defy the heavens and create a miracle in the forbidden area of the King Realm?"
A barely perceptible wavering quietly began to grow.
In the blink of an eye, it was forcibly extinguished by the absolute will etched into the bones of the soldier.
The emperor's command is as firm as a mountain; I will never yield, even unto death.
Even if it takes forever, he will remain in the same place, never leaving or abandoning it.
Just as Zheng Xuan closed his eyes, concentrated, and disappeared into the darkness...
Dozens of miles away, in the deep shadows of a hidden cave.
Two ghostly figures silently departed and then returned.
"Tsk, what a stubborn person."
The sixth master of the Blood Baleful Intent Hall leaned against a stalactite, toying with a pale white monster rib in his hand, his tone full of languid mockery.
"Seventh Brother, this Zheng guy is a stubborn rock and just won't budge."
"Is a mere ant destined to die worth him guarding for so long? Is the Qin Emperor's order really that valuable?"
Deep within the cave, Zhou Tong sat cross-legged, his body lifeless and still, like a withered corpse.
Just then, a completely black crow Soundless flew into the cave and landed on the Sixth Palace Master's shoulder.
The crow instantly transformed into a wisp of black smoke and entered his ear.
The Sixth Palace Master's lazy smile faltered slightly.
A glint of shrewd, playful glint flashed in his peach-blossom eyes.
"Interesting, this is getting interesting."
He turned to look at Zhou Tong in the shadows, his smile growing increasingly cruel.
"My informants planted around the Imperial Guard have reported back."
" Zheng Xuan not only did not withdraw, but also rejected three requests to evacuate, ordering them to remain in place with no time limit."
In the deathly silence of darkness, Zhou Tong's aura finally rippled slightly.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Two extremely dark eyes lit up, enough to devour all the light in the cave.
"When things are out of the ordinary, it must be something sinister."
"Oh?" The Sixth Palace Master raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "You mean, that brat surnamed Su isn't dead?"
Zhou Tong did not answer directly; his voice was hoarse and rough, like rusty iron rubbing together.
" Zheng Xuan is Ying Lin's shadow."
"His every move is a manifestation of Ying Lin's will."
Ying Lin was certain that Su Yu was not dead.
The Sixth Palace Master's smile completely exploded, filled with the madness and cruelty of someone who had regained their prey.
His scarlet tongue licked the corner of his lips, his eyes burning with greed.
"A forbidden area at the King Realm level."
"Surviving against all odds, invincible against all odds."
"If he truly survives, the experience he has gone through will likely be a thousand times more wonderful than I imagined!"
He casually crushed the bone powder in his hand, then slowly got up and stretched.
A series of dense, ear-piercing cracking sounds erupted from his bones.
"Waiting is too boring."
The Sixth Palace Master twisted his neck, his gaze piercing through layers of rock, locking onto the location where Zheng Xuan was stationed.
In Tao Hua's eyes, a chilling murderous intent gleamed, her sharp edge fully revealed.
"Since he's determined to hold out and not leave."
"Then let's go help this Imperial Guard commander loosen up his muscles."
