PS: A long chapter of 4,000 words.
The Tao is everywhere!
" Su Xiuyi, you truly surprise me. You possess such monstrous talent. I remember your age; you're still quite young. Even though I had unparalleled talent back then, it took me over a hundred years to reach the Invincible Realm. You, on the other hand, truly surprise us all. What kind of fortuitous encounter did you have in that place of Lifeless that allowed you to improve so greatly?"
"To be honest, I'm really curious about the Myriad Text Academy right now. That place was a mystery back then. So many terrifying beings infiltrated it. I don't believe they only killed the Literary Saint who was incredibly powerful back then. In that era, even though the Literary Saint had reached the level of Sage, he wasn't the strongest. More than a dozen major races from among the myriad races joined forces to restrain our Human Race's Sage, allowing those people to infiltrate. There must be something extraordinary there that attracted them."
"After His Majesty the Human Emperor ascended the throne, he continuously sent some of the chosen ones of Human Race into the Myriad Text Academy, attempting to test whether the power of destiny could withstand the Malédiction of the Heavenly Abyss Race's Sage. However, all attempts failed until your arrival, which broke this doomed curse."
"I know your talent, Su Xiuyi, very well. Although you are exceptional, you haven't reached this level yet. What exactly did you gain in the Myriad Text Academy?"
The Shadow King's face flickered and changed continuously, and golden light shone in his eyes.
The Shadow King was extremely curious about Su Xiuyi and Myriad Text Academy at this moment.
As Su Tianlong's lackey, Shadow King has been virtually omnipresent over the years, and he has undoubtedly uncovered a great deal of secrets.
Or rather, in this Human Realm, or even among all races, there are very few secrets that he can keep from knowing.
Upon hearing Shadow King's words, Su Xiuyi's gaze darkened, and she paused, her body poised to charge forward. Looking at Shadow King, she coldly said, " Shadow King, Su Tianlong testing us like this because he wants to enter?"
"Or rather, he had already been inside it."
As a disciple of the Southern Heaven Academy, Su Xiuyi naturally knew about the Myriad Text Academy. The Myriad Text Academy was once the residence of the Literary Saint, or more precisely, the residence of the Literary Saint's disciples and followers. It was also the core area of Human Race. The fact that the myriad races had infiltrated it was indeed highly suspicious.
After all, Su Xiuyi knew that he wasn't the first person to be able to resist the power of the Malédiction. The first person to be able to resist the Malédiction of the Heavenly Abyss Race should be the Shadow King in front of him. After all, the Shadow King not only took over the bodies of the Heavenly Abyss Race and cultivated clones, but also raised the strength of the clones to an Invincible level.
Even Shadow King, as Su Tianlong's subordinate, had a way to resist the Malédiction power of that place. So what about Su Tianlong? Couldn't Su Tianlong do the same?
Su Xiuyi felt that Su Tianlong must have entered it and taken away the most important thing. Otherwise, over the years, Su Tianlong would definitely know the secrets of the Myriad Text Academy. If she could resist the power of the Malédiction, why would he allow herself to be inside? For example, there are many powerful articles by Sage in the study that can improve one's strength.
What do you think?
"I've always felt that there are no secrets left there, or perhaps there are things we've all overlooked."
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, Shadow King's eyes flashed with a cold smile, implicitly admitting it.
What exactly was there?
At this moment, Su Xiuyi's heart was filled with turbulent waves; there really were some hidden things there.
"Of course, it is. It is a divine technique that can help His Human Emperor become stronger and suppress all the heavens. Otherwise, the Literary Saint back then would not have allowed the powerful beings of all races to risk their lives to storm into the Literary Saint Courtyard and kill the Literary Saint even at the cost of their own lives." Shadow King now believes that Su Xiuyi is doomed, so he does not care about some secrets.
"The divine technique to suppress all the heavens?"
In that instant, a tidal wave of emotions surged within Su Xiuyi's heart. Su Xiuyi thought of a possibility: a powerful divine technique from the distant past of the Human Race.
" Shadow King, thank you for telling me so many secrets. You can die now."
"You're quite strong, but do you think I'm weak?"
"To be honest, your Will Character is really useful." A cold smile appeared on Su Xiuyi's lips.
As soon as he finished speaking, a Will Character appeared in front of Su Xiuyi. The moment he saw the Will Character, Shadow King's body trembled violently. Even he, who was fusing with power, paused for a moment. His eyes were filled with disbelief, and he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Because the Will Character floating beside Su Xiuyi at this moment is a very special Will Character, a "divination".
At this moment, the Will Character was constantly vibrating, as if it could predict the future.
"The divination indicates that if you split yourself into two today, you will undoubtedly die."
Su Xiuyi gave a cold laugh.
"Impossible, impossible! How could you possibly possess this Will Character as well!"
The Shadow King was genuinely startled at that moment.
He knew best how special this Will Character. It wasn't of much help in battle, but it could predict good and bad fortune and help one avoid misfortune.
This Will Character is extremely important to cultivators.
Even at Su Tianlong's level, he didn't know what his future held, nor could he predict the outcome of each step.
This is also why the former "Shadow King" was able to control everything behind the scenes and never make a mistake.
Since losing that clone, he has been plagued by misfortune in everything he does.
"Sorry, this is not a hallucination!"
Su Xiuyi smiled. This Will Character was truly special. Su Xiuyi's courage to come here was not due to recklessness, but rather because she had activated the Divination Will Character beforehand and calculated that this trip would be safe but not dangerous, and that it would be an auspicious omen for her.
Unexpectedly, the so-called great fortune turned out to be the acquisition of the royal family's destiny power.
Although he was a member of the royal family, he was not included in the royal family genealogy and was not favored by the royal family's fortune.
Today, after seizing the royal family's fortune, Su Xiuyi finally realized the importance of this ethereal power of fortune.
At that moment, the Shadow King's expression turned icy cold. Now that Su Xiuyi had mastered the Will Character, Su Xiuyi had become the most likely person to find his true self. Therefore, the Shadow King was determined to kill Su Xiuyi.
"Die!"
At this moment, Shadow King could no longer hold back and charged towards Su Xiuyi at breakneck speed.
A sky full of figures, each with a different face.
A cacophony of sounds—joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, worry, and thought—resonated in the void.
At this moment, Su Xiuyi's expression was extremely solemn. The Shadow King's strength was indeed terrifyingly powerful. This was only the power borrowed by the clone. If the main body were to descend, he was afraid he would be able to resist.
" The Shadow King might be a Pseudo-Saint."
At that moment, a look of solemnity appeared in Su Xiuyi's eyes, and her fear of the Shadow King increased once again.
"Then die!"
Having witnessed the terrifying power of the Shadow King, Su Xiuyi sensed danger from the Divination Will Character and guessed that the Shadow King Shadow King's desperate attempt to borrow power had made his main body sense the crisis and rush to this place.
Let alone Sage, even Su Xiuyi now would find it difficult to resist Pseudo-Saint.
······
"Um?"
"What danger has the clone encountered?" In a dilapidated world, a hunched figure suddenly opened his eyes amidst the ruins, his eyes flashing with a terrifying, chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.
The next moment, illusory figures flickered around him.
" Human Realm?"
"How could we encounter danger in the Human Realm?"
An incredulous voice came from beneath the black robe.
Damn it!
"What's going on in the Human Realm lately? Why are they suffering repeated losses of clones?"
The figure's voice was unusually cold. The next moment, the figure closed its eyes again, and a strange aura Space Breaking away.
······
Within the formation, Su Xiuyi's aura reached its peak. At this moment, in order to end this battle, Su Xiuyi no longer needed to hide anything, nor was there any need to.
Beside Su Xiuyi, one after another, Will Character appeared. In the blink of an eye, Su Xiuyi had more than 150 Will Character runes. These Will Character were all at the Sun and Moon Realm Stage, and their aura was terrifying.
After achieving physical Invincible, Su Xiuyi's willpower also greatly improved. Although Su Xiuyi's Will Character has not yet reached Invincible, her abilities have improved dramatically.
The Curse Will Character, manifested as a scholar in black robes, holding a book, began to recite in the void, "I am the Lord of Curses, ruling over the life and death of all beings, controlling their very existence. You defy Heaven and defy fate; today I curse you to sever your life force, to collapse in conflict, to break your destiny, to shatter your power, to clash with the power of the Great Dao, to vanish traces of past and future, to wither your blood and energy, and to explode with spiritual power..."
The moment the voice of the Curse Will Character resounded, countless other voices echoed in the void.
"This place has become a cage, imprisoning your body, imprisoning your soul, imprisoning your life, imprisoning your destiny..."
"I, who control time, will reverse time today and annihilate your past..."
"I wield the power of thunder and lightning; heed my command to Demon Slaying and vanquish evil..."
"We scholars should read the books of the Sage, cultivate our character, and remain calm and resistant to conflict..."
"A wise person should remain calm and composed, suppress their anger, and turn hostility into friendship..."
"I am the master of heaven and earth, today I will turn the world upside down, and change east, west, north, and south..."
······
In that instant, countless voices resounded in the void.
A variety of complex abilities instantly fell upon the Shadow King.
Damn it!
" Su Xiuyi, you're the devil!"
In that instant, under the influence of countless Will Character, the Shadow King was unable to unleash his full power. He transformed the Heaven-Shaking Bow into a sword and fought against Su Xiuyi. However, each time he was about to succeed, a sudden change occurred, either switching places with Su Xiuyi or losing his bearings.
The most critical issue is that, under Su Xiuyi's current Curse Will Character willpower, his countless willpowers are clashing. His clones are all independent, so their willpowers are also independent. He forcibly merged the power, and within those powers, there are different willpowers. At this moment, all sorts of thoughts appear in his Sea of Will, and his Sea of Will is about to explode.
The Shadow King, with his unparalleled power, had never felt such despair.
At this moment, he had a bad feeling; perhaps Su Xiuyi was his nemesis.
" Shadow King, I am the chosen one, I am the Human Emperor! Otherwise, how about you pledge your allegiance to me!"
A violent slash came out from Su Xiuyi's body, sending the Shadow King flying backward.
However, Su Xiuyi also discovered a problem at this moment: although she had suppressed the Shadow King Shadow King, it was not easy to kill him. Even though the Shadow King Invincible, he had repeatedly escaped danger.
Although there was a smile on Su Xiuyi's face, Su Xiuyi knew that she could not drag it on any longer. Dragging it on would be very detrimental to herself, because Su Xiuyi felt that the will text with the word 'Gua' was beating slowly at this moment, indicating that danger was approaching.
" The Avici Dao Hell opens!"
Su Xiuyi's aura reached its peak.
A terrifying slash was unleashed towards the Shadow King.
The moment this slash was unleashed, it was as if hell itself had truly opened behind Su Xiuyi, and a terrifying Yellow Springs River descended. On the Yellow Springs River, the Naihe Bridge Helplessness seemed to solidify, pressing down upon the Shadow King.
"What?"
"Damn it, this is the Extreme Dao of Death!"
"How is this possible? How could you possibly control such terrifying sword intent? Did you perhaps receive some of the Saber Saint's legacy?"
At this moment, the Shadow King's eyes were bloodshot, and he truly felt the approach of death.
He had never felt death so close.
"Pfft!"
With a single strike, one of the Shadow King's arms was severed.
However, at this moment, the Shadow King had gone completely mad. At the cost of losing an arm, he rapidly approached Su Xiuyi, and the sword transformed from the Heaven-Shaking Bow in his hand pierced towards Su Xiuyi's heart.
"Roll!"
At that moment, Su Xiuyi unleashed a slash.
A terrifying glint of light flashed.
"Um?"
However, the moment Su Xiuyi unleashed her slash, Su Xiuyi expression changed.
At this moment, Su Xiuyi realized that this was not the Shadow King's true killing move; the Shadow King's true killing move was a battle technique based on willpower.
At this moment, the Shadow King unleashed his willpower combat technique, and a blood-red sword pierced into Su Xiuyi's Sea of Will.
" Su Xiuyi, die!"
"You can rest in peace now that you've died under the Blood Demon Sword, a combat technique powered by willpower." The Shadow King, who had desperately blocked Su Xiuyi's blade, had blood spurting from his severed arm, but he didn't care. A cold smile appeared on his lips, thinking he had won.
After all, the Will Character combat technique is extremely rare and incredibly powerful.
"Yeah?"
However, at the moment Shadow King felt he had won, within Su Xiuyi's Sea of Will, the Blood Dragon Needle seemed to have been provoked, transforming into an enraged dragon. Its ferocious Dragon Claw reached out and directly crushed the Blood Demon Sword formed from Shadow King's willpower.
The two are simply not on the same level in terms of willpower and combat skills.
"Pfft!"
The Shadow King, who was feeling smug, was affected by the shattering of his Blood Demon Sword and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
In that instant, his eyes were filled with despair, because at this moment, he could not suppress the different wills within his Sea of Will, and his Sea of Will had fallen into chaos.
Die!
Su Xiuyi's knife was swung out at the critical moment, slicing through the air and beheading the Shadow King.
The countless phantom images of the Shadow King also vanished.
One by one, the Will Character exploded, and in the blink of an eye, the willpower here became extremely dense, as if it had transformed into a secret realm of willpower.
"That was close!"
"You underestimate the heroes of the world; willpower and combat skills are not unique to me."
Su Xiuyi was somewhat apprehensive at this moment. If she hadn't cultivated the Blood Dragon Needle, she would have surely died today.
There will be another chapter late tonight, so don't wait, read it tomorrow morning.
