• The realm’s rules hurled Zheng Xuan away and dragged Su Yu into the abyss as Zheng Xuan warned him to survive and promised to seek reinforcements.
• Su Yu calmly accepted his forced entry into the realm and looked forward to earning Slaughter Points by fighting its fiends.

• The skeleton’s body began absorbing blood and awakening; Su Yu realized the chains sealed the body rather than the remnant soul, and one chain shattered.

The ancient body beneath the well broke free of its seals and attacked Su Yu, overwhelming his strongest defenses with a single punch. Su Yu unleashed his Extreme Hell Fierce Demon Body and counterattacked, but his blows did no damage as the ancient body drove an elbow toward his chest.

After warning Su Yu to beware the master of the world, Jing Ze left, and Su Yu discovered that the Dao fruit contained the Saint Realm top-grade Spirit Refinement technique Great Sun Divine Firmament.
