PS: A long chapter of 5,000 words.
"The peak of the Saint Realm, the realm of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, Su Yun, you have greatly surprised me. If my information is correct, you should only be a little over 100 years old now. In just over 100 years, you have actually cultivated your strength to the Peak of the Saint Realm, the realm of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate. You have truly surprised me."
"I can give you a choice: join my Samsara Hall. With your talent, even if you only enter the Samsara Hall Samsara Hall, you will be a core disciple. What do you think?"
"You should know that although you have reached the Peak of the Saint Realm, a level of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, it is almost impossible for you to fight me. Your strength is too weak!"
"And behind you, the guardian of the Great Zhou Dynasty made a move eight months ago. I observed it very clearly; his strength was only at the first level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm. Even with the continuous recovery of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, his cultivation has only reached the second level of the Grotto-Heaven in these eight months, which is already his limit. But my cultivation is at the peak of the third level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm."
At that moment, the Xuanming Divine Turtle sensed that Su Yun's cultivation had actually reached the point of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, and a look of surprise appeared in its eyes. Previously, it had planned to completely annihilate the Great Zhou Imperial Clan, but after sensing Su Yun's talent, it was instantly moved.
To be able to cultivate one's strength to the Peak of the Saint Realm in just over 100 years, reaching a level of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, such a monstrous talent is extremely rare even in ancient times.
Moreover, the Xuanming Divine Turtle also knew that as long as Su Yun joined the Samsara Hall, the Great Zhou Imperial Clan would become puppets of the Samsara Hall. Although Su Yun was alive, it meant that the Samsara Hall had completely controlled the Great Zhou Imperial Clan, and the Great Zhou Dynasty had become a puppet Samsara Hall of the Samsara Palace.
As the Xuanming Divine Turtle's voice faded, the powerful figures from the Samsara Hall all wore knowing smiles, looking down at Su Yun and saying calmly, " Su Yun, don't be ungrateful. Lord Xuanming has given you a chance to live. With your talent, joining the Samsara Hall, and Lord Xuanming's patronage, you'll definitely distinguish yourself in a short time. If you refuse such an opportunity, you won't get another one."
"Moreover, if you refuse, the Great Zhou Imperial Clan will surely be destroyed today. If you join the Samsara Hall, Lord Xuanming will only kill the guardian of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
As the elder of the Samsara Hall finished speaking, the capital city fell into an unusual silence. The civil and military officials looked at the people from the Samsara Hall with fear in their eyes, because the strength displayed by the Xuanming Divine Turtle today was too terrifying. With just a single wave of pressure, it instantly severely injured all 18 Half-Step Defying Heaven and Changing Fate experts.
Such terrifying strength was simply beyond their ability to withstand. These 18 Half-Step Defying Heaven and Changing Fate experts were the trump card of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now they were completely suppressed by the other side in the blink of an eye.
The scene before them had a profound impact on the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Some powerful individuals whose resolve was not strong enough began to waver at this moment, becoming restless and wanting to the Samsara Hall.
The experts of the Great Zhou Imperial Clan remained silent, and all eyes were fixed on Su Yun. After going through countless hardships, Su Yun had become the soul of the royal family, and they would support and carry out any decision Su Yun made without hesitation.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Yun's lips curled into a cold smile. "Submit to the Samsara Hall?"
"If I remember correctly, the Samsara Hall, which you hold in such high esteem, was suppressed by my Great Zhou Dynasty for more than a decade. Your guardian beast, Lord Xuanming, was even suppressed by the guardians of my Great Zhou Dynasty with a mere flick of their wrists."
"Do you think I, the Emperor, would submit to the Samsara Hall that has been suppressed by the Great Zhou Imperial Clan?"
"Making me the Palace Master of your Samsara Hall is something I might consider, but as for becoming a core disciple of the Samsara Hall, are you all crazy, or am I?"
"I am the supreme emperor, do you think I would submit?"
"The blood that flows in the veins of the Great Zhou Imperial Clan is the blood of an ancient royal family; the backbone of the Great Zhou Imperial Clan is made of iron, and we would rather die than surrender!"
"Today, even if I die in battle, I will never submit to your damned Samsara Hall."
"Come, let me see what abilities your Samsara Hall has to make me submit and become your Samsara Hall."
At that moment, Su Yun stood there, a cold glint in his eyes, his voice domineering and unparalleled, showing no intention of submission whatsoever.
Upon hearing Su Yun's words, the Xuanming Divine Turtle frowned slightly, and a chilling killing intent flashed in its eyes.
" Su Yun, do you want to go against my decision?"
"You can't even imagine the power of the Samsara Hall Samsara Hall. You have no idea how powerful it is. Becoming a core disciple of the Samsara Hall is the dream of countless geniuses."
"The reason why the Samsara Hall in the lower realm is so inadequate is simply because the world has not yet fully recovered, which has affected my strength. Otherwise, the person behind your Great Zhou Imperial Clan would be nothing more than an ant in my eyes. I could kill him with a flick of my finger, let alone suppress me."
"Once you join the Samsara Hall and ascend to the Upper Realm, you'll have the Samsara Hall as your backer. The Samsara Hall is a behemoth in the Upper Realm."
The Xuanming Divine Turtle spoke in an icy voice.
"Yeah?"
"Since the Samsara Hall is so powerful, a behemoth even in the Upper Realm, suppressing all sects, then why does your Samsara Hall, which is so powerful, need to descend to the Lower Realm?"
"These people in the lower realm are nothing but mortals, what are you fighting over?"
Su Yun said coldly.
"Hmph, every revival of heaven and earth brings immense opportunities, which is beyond your comprehension. My Samsara Hall has its Samsara Hall reasons."
Upon hearing this, the Xuanming Divine Turtle let out a cold snort.
An elder from the Samsara Hall glanced at the Xuanming Divine Turtle and stepped forward. " Su Yun, you think my Samsara Hall is insignificant? Then today I'll show you the power of my Samsara Hall. My current strength is at the level of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate. Do you dare to fight?"
After this powerful figure from the Samsara Hall stepped out, his sharp eyes fixed on Su Yun.
"Do you dare to fight?"
"Are you joking? No man of the Great Zhou Imperial Clan is a coward. Let me see what strength your Samsara Hall, so arrogant as to be, truly possesses. Make your move, and don't disappoint me."
Facing the elder from the Samsara Hall, Su Yun revealed a cold smile. At the same time, terrifying auras erupted from Su Yun's body, and in that instant, Su Yun seemed to transform into a demon god.
"Court death?"
Upon hearing Su Yun's disdainful words, the powerful figure from the Samsara Hall instantly unleashed a chilling killing intent in his eyes.
In that instant, Spirit Character appeared around his body, representing the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The moment the five Spirit Character of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth appeared, a terrifying power of the Five Elements erupted within his body.
" Su Yun, this is called the Five Elements Sword Body."
"In my Samsara Hall, there are no mediocre people. Today, I will show you the power of my Samsara Hall."
With the blessing of the five Spirit Character of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, this powerful figure from the Samsara Hall, who already possessed the Five Elements Sword Body, became even more terrifying with the added power of the Five Elements.
He threw a punch at Su Yun, seemingly using his fist, but in that instant, his entire body became a sword, an extremely terrifying sword.
This person's attacks were devoid of any fancy moves; they were utterly domineering.
Before the fist even arrived, the terrifying Sword Qi was already cutting through the void, making a series of hissing sounds.
Facing the powerful figures of the Samsara Hall, Su Yun naturally wouldn't be careless.
In that instant, Spirit Character appeared around Su Yun's body, and these Spirit Character transformed into a long sword in front of Su Yun.
This longsword is no ordinary longsword, but a powerful offensive technique from the Primordial Devil Scripture.
Facing the Samsara Hall expert wielding the Five Elements Sword Body, Su Yun suddenly thrust out his sword.
The moment his sword collided with the fist of the powerful figure from the Samsara Hall, a terrifying Sword Qi erupted, and the surrounding buildings collapsed instantly.
"Um?"
"He actually blocked it? How is that possible? How did he do that? I cultivate the Five Elements Sword Body, and my strength has already reached an extremely high level. If I weren't suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, I could easily annihilate someone with that level of cultivation with a wave of my hand."
The elder of the Samsara Hall looked on in disbelief when he saw that his attack had been blocked by Su Yun.
"Cut!"
As he was shocked by Su Yun's power, an even more terrifying force suddenly erupted from Su Yun's body. In that instant, Su Yun vanished, merging with the enormous demonic shadow behind him. The sword in his hand also transformed into a giant longsword, which was then held in the figure's grasp.
A powerful, world-destroying sword strike came directly at the powerful figure from the Samsara Hall.
"Damn it, how do you know the most powerful divine ability of the Devil Race race?"
Even though this technique has significant flaws, only the most powerful members of the Devil Race Primordial Devil Scripture!
Upon seeing this powerful sword strike, the elder of the Samsara Hall's expression changed drastically, for in that instant, he felt as if he were being watched by the Grim Reaper.
They tried to dodge, but it was too late; the sword strike was simply too terrifying.
Moreover, at the moment he unleashed this sword strike, Su Yun burned his lifespan, more than doubling his strength.
"He does indeed possess some ability, having actually obtained a fragment of the Primordial Devil Scripture. Interesting, I'll gladly accept it."
At that moment, the Xuanming Divine Turtle, which was standing not far away, saw Su Yun activating the Primordial Devil Scripture. A greedy look appeared in its eyes. It took a step forward, and its figure instantly appeared in front of the Samsara Hall elder. A huge golden tortoise phantom appeared around its body.
"Boom!"
Su Yun's all-out sword strike landed on the tortoise phantom, but the golden phantom didn't even flinch, as if it were indestructible.
" The Primordial Devil Scripture, you actually know the Primordial Devil Scripture. Interesting. It seems I won't be leaving the mortal realm empty-handed this time."
At this moment, the Xuanming Divine Turtle looked at Su Yun with excitement.
In that instant, the Xuanming Divine Turtle took a step forward, and suddenly stretched out one hand to slap towards Su Yun.
Facing a powerful being at the third level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm, Su Yun's face showed fear. Although the Xuanming Divine Turtle had only casually pointed a finger, the attack of such a terrifying being was far beyond his comprehension. At this moment, Su Yun was rapidly consuming his lifespan, losing 1,000 years of his lifespan in the blink of an eye. After consuming 1,000 years of his lifespan, Su Yun's strength was greatly enhanced.
"Boom!"
An extremely powerful attack erupted, and the terrifying aftershocks spread in all directions. Even though Su Yun had burned 1,000 years of his lifespan, his body was still sent flying backward by the Xuanming Divine Turtle's terrifying finger strike. He crashed heavily into the steps, instantly creating Yiyi cracks on them.
"Emperor."
The royal family members passed away like bees.
Cough cough cough cough!
At this moment, Su Yun was severely injured by the Xuanming Divine Turtle's finger, coughing violently, with mouthfuls of blood gushing from his mouth as if it were free.
Under the Xuanming Divine Turtle's finger strike, Su Yun was instantly severely injured and lost the ability to fight again.
Su Yun was very clear that his survival was not due to his own strength, but because the Xuanming Divine Turtle had discovered his cultivation technique— the Primordial Devil Scripture —just moments before. The turtle was coveting his Primordial Devil Scripture; otherwise, he would already be dead.
After severely injuring Su Yun Su Yun, the Xuanming Divine Turtle did not immediately capture him. Instead, it slowly raised its head, and its icy voice resounded through the void.
" Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, you have suppressed me for over a decade. Now that I am here, shouldn't you show yourself? Or do you lack the courage to come out and fight?"
"I will give you three breaths to consider. If you do not appear within three breaths, then I will annihilate the Great Zhou Imperial Clan today, leaving no one alive."
The Xuanming Divine Turtle used its Dharma Power to amplify its voice, which spread continuously through the void.
Upon hearing this sound, the powerful figures who had been watching this scene from afar with their supernatural abilities all became solemn. At this moment, they were all shocked by the strength of the Xuanming Divine Turtle, but they were also very expectant, wondering if the mysterious and unpredictable expert of the Great Zhou Imperial Clan could defeat the Xuanming Divine Turtle.
However, at the very moment the Xuanming Divine Turtle's voice fell, a figure in white slowly walked across the main street of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Are you looking for me?
At this moment, Su Xiuyi did not exude any aura, appearing as an ordinary scholar. However, the moment Su Xiuyi's voice fell, although it was not loud, it was very peculiar, and the sound resounded in everyone's ears.
"You've finally arrived?"
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, the Xuanming Divine Turtle's eyes instantly locked onto Su Xiuyi. His voice was icy cold, and although it consisted of only five words, those five words contained all his anger and resentment.
In his view, being suppressed by Su Xiuyi for more than a decade was an immense humiliation.
"Great, I'm here!"
"You shouldn't have come to the Great Zhou Imperial Capital, because even though you've now reached the Grotto-Heaven Third Layer realm, you're still no match for me."
Su Xiuyi's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of confidence.
"Not your opponent?"
"What an arrogant young man!"
"You don't really think you're Invincible, do you?"
" The Domain of God, the Dragon Palace Descends."
The Xuanming Divine Turtle's voice was extremely cold. The instant his chilling voice fell, the Xuanming Divine Turtle directly activated his Domain of God. At that moment, a phantom of a dragon palace appeared in the void. Under the suppression of the dragon palace phantom, everyone knelt on the ground, unable to resist at all.
However, even when faced with such a terrifying Domain of God, Su Xiuyi maintained a faint smile, showing no change whatsoever despite the Xuanming Divine Turtle unleashing its terrifying power.
The moment the Xuanming Divine Turtle activated its Domain of God, its body suddenly hurtled towards Su Xiuyi, its extremely violent finger directly locking onto Su Xiuyi.
However, the moment the Xuanming Divine Turtle appeared in front of Su Xiuyi Su Xiuyi, the distance between them was only one meter.
But at that moment, when they were only a meter apart, Su Xiuyi parted her lips and uttered a single word, "Stay."
In that instant, Su Xiuyi activated Immobilization Spell. The moment the Immobilization Spell was activated, the resentment and anger in the eyes of the extremely powerful Xuanming Divine Turtle vanished completely, replaced by terror.
When Su Xiuyi cast the Immobilization Spell, even though the Xuanming Divine Turtle possessed the strength of the third level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm, his body became extremely stiff under the Immobilization Spell, and he was completely unable to move.
You're still too weak!
The moment the Xuanming Divine Turtle's body was frozen in place, Su Xiuyi took a step forward, closing the distance between herself and the Xuanming Divine Turtle, and a disdainful voice rang in the Xuanming Divine Turtle's ears.
The moment the voice fell, Su Xiuyi slowly extended her finger and placed it between the eyebrows of the Xuanming Divine Turtle. The instant the finger touched the ground, the Xuanming Divine Turtle's eyes were filled with terror, and the terrifying power within its body was continuously destroyed.
At this moment, even his incomparably powerful physical body was instantly and severely injured by this finger, and his strength plummeted from the Saint Realm in the blink of an eye.
The life force within its body continued to wither away, and under everyone's gaze, the enormous true form of the Xuanming Divine Turtle appeared, but at this moment, the Xuanming Divine Turtle had already turned into a cold corpse.
"Escape!"
The elders of the Samsara Hall were horrified to see the Xuanming Divine Turtle being killed by Su Xiuyi in the blink of an eye, and they turned to flee.
But the moment the thought crossed their minds, the power of the Immobilization Spell spread out, and everyone's bodies became incredibly stiff.
In their terror, they saw Su Xiuyi's body brush past them. At that moment, a terrifying power spread out, and the elders of the Samsara Hall instantly turned into nothingness, as if they had never existed.
Su Xiuyi landed on the steps, her gaze falling on Su Yun. Because Su Yun had forcibly consumed 1,000 years of his lifespan, Su Yun black hair had turned white in an instant, and his face had become incredibly old.
Moreover, at this very moment, Su Yun was still being devoured by the backlash of the Primordial Devil Scripture, his life force being continuously consumed.
What kind of cultivation method do you practice?
At that moment, Su Xiuyi frowned slightly, a look of solemnity appearing in her eyes. Su Xiuyi pointed a finger at Su Yun, using the strength of the eighth level of the Grotto-Heaven to suppress the devouring power. A strange light appeared in her eyes.
