Slaughtering an Invincible!

How many were going to die? No one knew! All anyone knew was that at that very moment, a dead spirit monarch abruptly materialized right beside King Daqin. The dead spirit monarch had just emerged and was still a bit dazed when a spear thrust forward. With a resounding bang, the spear flicked upward, launching him straight into the air. King Daqin said indifferently, "If the dead spirit race wants to kill me, wait until I'm done killing these people before you come back!" Far in the distance, the dead spirit monarch pierced through the void, hurtling all the way to the edge of King Gong Mansion, still utterly bewildered. Where am I? Oh, right. I'm in the Star Residence Mansion. I came in response to the power of the rules because someone killed a living Invincible. The real question is, where are the dead spirit monarchs who belong to this place? He glanced to the side. Holy shit—a whole row of dead spirit monarchs was standing along the outer perimeter, watching him. Tuofa caught sight of him, found his face somewhat familiar, and sent a voice transmission: "Wait. Let them fight. That's King Daqin! Once they're done fighting, then follow the rules. Otherwise, you'll be beaten to death!" "..." The dead spirit monarch summoned by the power of the rules was stunned once again. He looked toward King Daqin in the center, then glanced at the Invincibles over there. Holy shit! So many! And that's the human race's King Daqin? Even in the dead spirit realm, there was still some awareness of the tenth tide's current master of the human race. King Daqin, Qin Guang—an incomparably formidable existence! The crux of the matter was, how on earth had Tuofa and the others ended up on the outside? The dead spirit monarch's mind briefly crashed! Yet he possessed only a single imperative: kill King Daqin. That was the rule. And yet he also knew he couldn't kill him. If he couldn't kill him and got killed instead, an even stronger dead spirit monarch would come. Yet King Daqin had just swatted him away! Around King Daqin stood a whole crowd of Invincibles. Dead spirit monarchs possessed some degree of intellect, after all, and this dead spirit monarch quickly figured it out—a massive brawl was going down! Excellent! Let a few more Invincibles die, let a few more dead spirit monarchs emerge, and they could join forces to butcher King Daqin! Yes, exactly like that! As for how the dead spirit monarchs on the perimeter had gotten outside, he was curious, but he didn't want to ask too much and had no interest in prying. It just felt a bit strange. He had been teleported from quite a distance away, and this was his very first time entering the Star Residence Mansion. His mood suddenly seemed rather good. In that case... should I do some sightseeing first? The Star Residence Mansion wasn't his territory; he had never seen it before. ... Among the crowd. Bloodfire Demon King and Thunder God King emerged one after another. Seven demon kings from the demon race and five god kings from the god race—a full twelve Invincibles. Further out, two dragon kings from the dragon race arrived. The Tianyuan race's Invincible arrived. The Underworld race's Invincible arrived. Sixteen Invincibles! Even further out, the four powerhouses of the phoenix race, destiny race, Five Elements race, and the Hunting Heaven Pavilion didn't approach. They all observed from across the void, each looking incomparably solemn. Was the ninth tier of Eternal strong? Extremely strong! Especially King Daqin—an existence at the pinnacle, someone approaching the Dao Integration realm. Yet right now, sixteen Invincibles were encircling him. Among them was one at the ninth tier of Eternal, two at the seventh tier, and the rest were almost all in the middle tiers of Eternal. King Daqin could fight three, fight five, or even take on seven or eight... because he was King Daqin! Even with Bloodfire Demon King present, the demon king alone could not match King Daqin. Yet precisely because he was King Daqin, everyone had gathered. There was not the slightest hesitation or deliberation. Even if Su Yu were standing right here, he wouldn't be able to lure a single one away, because this was King Daqin! The pillar of the human race! Kill him, and in this tide, the human race would inevitably exit the stage of history. No matter how strong King Dazhou or King Daxia were, it was useless. Compared to King Daqin, they still lacked that certain something. King Daqin's raw strength might not overwhelmingly outclass theirs, but he possessed his own unique personal charisma. He had guarded the Eastern Rift Valley alone for four hundred years—one man, one spear, shaking the myriad realms! That was his charisma! The other Invincibles rotated through their posts, some entering closed-door seclusion and others cultivating, but King Daqin alone had never once left the Allheaven Battlefield. From the day it was opened, he had presided over that place, confronting the mighty foes of the myriad realms. For more than four hundred years, day and night, without rest or sleep, he had forcefully dragged the human race back from the edge of the abyss, turning them into one of the hegemonic races of the universe. And he had never become an emperor. Yet he was the only Eternal powerhouse capable of keeping all the formidable masters of the human race in line! At this moment, Thunder God King barked sternly, "The human race's King Daqin has entered the Star Residence Mansion! Are the other races just going to stand by and watch? Are you waiting for King Daqin to step into the Half-Emperor realm and annihilate the myriad realms? Once the human race steps into Dao Integration and strides across the realms, who will be able to stand against him?" King Daqin's entry was truly unexpected. The human race was far too daring! Daring, yet fraught with boundless crisis and risk. This danger was far too great, far too extreme. "Head of the Heaven Division, what says the Hunting Heaven Pavilion?" Thunder God King called out. "Do you think that with King Daqin present, you'll have any chance of seizing the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus? Only by joining hands to slay him will you have any hope! Otherwise, no one stands a chance!" In the distance, the Head of the Heaven Division from the Hunting Heaven Pavilion remained silent and motionless. It was not an easy decision to make! The human race was the common enemy. Above all, a human Half-Emperor was something no race could tolerate. Once a Half-Emperor powerhouse emerged, King Daqin charging into any realm would be completely invincible under the heavens. Unlike now, where even if the Half-Emperors of several major races found it difficult to kill King Daqin on the Allheaven Battlefield, once they were inside their own realms with their territorial amplification, they could kill King Daqin if he dared come. The Tianyuan and Underworld races went without saying, but races like the Five Elements race and the destiny race were somewhat hesitant at this moment and did not rush in to attack immediately. King Daqin watched in silence, waiting. He was waiting for the humans over on the immortal race's side to establish a stronger advantage. The moment a god king moved to break away and assist the immortal race—boom! A thunderous crash! The spear thrust out, shaking the void. "Kill!" Killing intent surged to the heavens! Those god kings and demon kings roared one after another and struck in unison. Even the dragon kings and underworld kings on the outer edge attacked together, moving to slay King Daqin! If King Daqin didn't die, they would all die. Since everyone had revealed themselves, there was no longer any room for peaceful coexistence. Across heaven and earth, the illusory image of a great spear swept in all directions. An Invincible snapped coldly, "Five Elements race, you don't have to concern yourselves with King Daqin—go kill the other humans! Otherwise... after this day, all races will unite to exterminate you! "Don't think that if we die, you'll be safe! I have already burned my essence blood to notify the outside world. Everyone knows King Daqin has arrived! If King Daqin doesn't die and you are still alive... the gods, demons, immortals, dragons, and underworld races will hunt you down without mercy!" The moment these words fell, the Invincibles of the Five Elements race and the destiny race froze slightly, their expressions shifting erratically, thoroughly hesitant. If the outside world truly had been notified... even if they joined hands to wipe out these powerhouses from the major races, it would be just as this person said. Once they stepped outside, if King Daqin hadn't died and they were still alive while the gods and demons were all dead... then these races would face trouble—immense, catastrophic trouble. Could one contact the outside world? In fact, it was possible. By burning essence blood, people had previously sent transmissions from the outside to the interior. Yet was someone actually doing it right now? They didn't know! It might be an empty threat, or it might be real. But at the very least, in this moment, the Invincibles of those races hesitated, lingering on the outer edge, neither attacking nor departing. In truth, there was no need for them to intervene anyway. Sixteen Invincibles were already exceptionally formidable. If King Daqin took them on one-on-one, even Bloodfire Demon King couldn't hold him off. Against sixteen, however, King Daqin couldn't withstand it! If he could fight one against sixteen, the human race would have become boundlessly powerful long ago. King Daqin didn't utter a word. His spear danced, shaking all four directions as his killing intent rocked the heavens! "Kill!" With a fierce roar, King Daqin knew that now was not the time for a protracted struggle. Only through sheer ferocity, overwhelming power, and absolute deterrence could there be any hope of victory! King Daqin was astonishingly decisive. In this instant, he forcefully weathered the onslaught of Bloodfire and Thunder, thrusting his spear forward. A single thrust severed the time corridor. Twisting the spear around in a reverse thrust—squelch!—he impaled a demon king straight through! Pfft! That demon king's three embodiments collapsed as one was blown apart. Though he quickly reconstituted it, his face was full of terror. King Daqin let out a muffled grunt and, once again bearing the brunt of the others' attacks, roared with boundless savagery. He whipped his spear outward—squelch!—impaling another of the demon king's past incarnations. Then his entire body closed in rapidly. He threw a punch that sent a god king flying, appeared before the demon king in an instant, bellowed ferociously, and grabbed hold with both hands. Rrrrip! He tore an entire demon king to shreds! Blood splattered across heaven and earth! Blood clouds blotted out the sun! Rumble! Heaven and earth trembled. A second Invincible had died at King Daqin's hands! Yet King Daqin's back was scorched black—the handiwork of Thunder God King. On his arm, a patch of foul black blood appeared where Bloodfire Demon King had nearly severed his limb entirely. Other parts of his body bore injuries as well. From the very start, it was a fight to the death! Boundlessly powerful as he was, King Daqin was not in the Dao Integration realm after all. Even if he were, he wouldn't truly be invincible. He was merely at the ninth tier of Eternal. Yet under the siege of sixteen Invincibles, he had swiftly slain a second Invincible! "How many do you want to die?" That cold shout resounded through heaven and earth once more, shaking the hearts of all who heard it. One Invincible after another showed fear on their faces, but in the next instant, they all roared in fury and surged toward him again! Attacking meant death. Not attacking also meant death! With King Daqin showing himself, this fight was destined to end only in mutual slaughter, with no room for compromise! The fall of two Invincibles only hardened everyone's resolve. He had to be killed—he must be killed! Meanwhile, on the human race's side, they had gained the upper hand. Xia Longwu and the others fought like madmen, wildly attacking the three immortal kings! They were frantic! Even if they won on their side, King Daqin's situation was precarious. Yet at this moment, the three immortal kings didn't make a sound. There was no fury, no distraction—only icy detachment. Suddenly, the immortal kings bellowed in unison, brilliant light erupting from each of their bodies as their power surged by thirty percent! Burning essence blood! By this point, the immortal kings all knew that no reinforcements would come to their aid. King Daqin was the primary target; they were secondary. As long as they held out for a while, holding on until King Daqin was killed, all crises would be resolved. They had to pin down these human Invincibles! The three immortal kings swiftly converged, and the four humans immediately joined forces to press the attack! The humans wanted to leave, but they couldn't. The moment they moved to pull away, the three immortal kings would erupt with power to pin them down. On the perimeter, Xingyue was leading several dead spirit monarchs and was just about to intervene when a soft sigh sounded. The Head of the Heaven Division appeared before them in an instant, murmuring, "The Hunting Heaven Pavilion does not meddle in the battles between the living races. Dead spirit race, do not interfere!" Xingyue was enraged and let out a roar: "Kill!" Several dead spirits charged toward him immediately. Yet the Head of the Heaven Division easily handled four on one. His cultivation realm was on par with King Daqin's and similar to Bloodfire Demon King's. Even if he wasn't quite King Daqin's match, the difference wasn't large. What could four dead spirits possibly do to him? Meanwhile, around King Daqin, it was no longer sixteen Invincibles. One had died, but... another dead spirit monarch emerged! This time, King Daqin had no chance to swat this dead spirit monarch away. The creature was mixed in among the crowd, still somewhat dazed. The previous dead spirit monarch suddenly charged over and swiftly filled him in on what was happening. The two dead spirit monarchs didn't attack the Invincibles of the other races; instead, they stayed on the outer perimeter, keeping their eyes fixed on King Daqin! The rules dictated that they had to kill King Daqin—they absolutely had to! Therefore, they were waiting for an opportunity! Even if King Daqin killed all sixteen Invincibles, it would be useless, because very soon, sixteen powerful dead spirit monarchs would arrive, bearing the mandate and rules-bound command to kill him. A bitter battle! A bloody war! A single spear pierced heaven and earth, each strike stained with blood! King Daqin's hair flew wild, and blood gradually coated his body. The spear struck out again. With a sharp crack, the void shattered. A god king's three embodiments scattered, and one was impaled through, yet the god king swiftly retreated while others quickly filled the gap. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight new wounds were carved into King Daqin's flesh. "Father!" Over on the other side, Qin Zhen roared in fury, completely frenzied. Yet he was too weak. He couldn't get away either! One of his three embodiments had already fallen, and the other two were heavily wounded. At a time like this, he couldn't contribute much. The three immortal kings were fighting desperately as well—how could they possibly be slain quickly? When the difference in cultivation was not large, killing an Invincible was hard! Meanwhile, Lan Tian was also being obstructed by someone—Tianzhou. Yes, Tianzhou of the Tianyuan race! ... Further out on the perimeter. Several Quasi-Invincibles capable of battling Invincibles, along with some ferocious beasts including Jiu Yue, watched closely. They possessed the combat strength to fight Invincibles; they could even smell the delicious aroma in the air and wished they could kill the immortals for a feast, yet right now, none of them moved. Because... they could not afford to act. They could wander carefree on their own, unconstrained by consequences. Under ordinary circumstances, even if they truly killed an immortal king, it wouldn't be that big a deal. Not right now! Right now, the life and death of dozens of Invincibles hung in the balance. The moment they intervened and caused the various races to lose, if word ever got out, the ancient races... would face certain annihilation! The foundations of several dominant races were not something they could compare to. Great races like the gods, demons, and immortals had not played all their trump cards even now. The human race might not know, but the ancient races did. What was more, an overly strong human race did not align with the interests of the other races either. They could not intervene! They had to endure and hold back. They didn't want to slaughter the humans, but no matter how much they craved violence right now, they wouldn't strike at the other races. No wall was completely airtight; so long as a single person from the various races survived, so long as the slightest shred of information leaked, neither the Iron-Eating race nor the Ancient Hou race would be able to withstand the combined siege of the god and demon superpowers. If they couldn't kill the humans, could they really not wipe out you ancient races? Ordinarily, they simply couldn't be bothered. This universe, this era, ultimately still belonged to them. Jiu Yue stopped eating, silently watching the battle. Tuntian also crouched low in the void, silently observing. In the distance, Kongkong's eyes flickered, not daring to draw close. King Daqin coming in person was something no one had foreseen. Formidable, savage! Two Invincibles had fallen in such short order. Yet King Daqin wouldn't be able to hold out. Sixteen Invincibles! Counting the immortals, there were originally twenty. Two had been killed, leaving eighteen Invincibles in total. ... God King Bingfeng was also taking part in the battle! Inside the Illusion Sky Mirror, Su Yu had long since awakened, and right now, he was profoundly shaken. King Daqin had come! How could he have come? How could he be allowed to come! Su Yu's feelings were overwhelmingly complicated. He shouldn't have come. King Daqin was different from other Invincibles. Su Yu was a lone wanderer who had to look out only for himself; Xia Longwu and his peers could not serve as the ultimate pillar of stability; even if King Dazhou and the rest showed up, it wouldn't be surprising—they were powerful, but if they died, the human race would grieve, not fall into despair. Yet the moment King Daqin, who had guarded the human border for over four hundred years, died, the surrender faction and the peace-seeking faction would swiftly resurface, and no one would be able to suppress them. No matter how powerful you were, you wouldn't be able to suppress those people's thoughts. If even King Daqin was dead, then unless you became an emperor or achieved top-tier status among Dao Integration experts, you would never quell the turmoil within the human race. "He shouldn't have come!" Su Yu didn't know what to say. He thought... perhaps... King Daqin wanted to enter, consume the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus on the spot, and advance to Half-Emperor, so that going back outside wouldn't be an issue. If anyone else, including King Dazhou and his peers, managed to seize it, they could only use it themselves; they wouldn't be able to take it outside—or rather, it would be extremely difficult to take outside, because the powerhouses waiting outside would block them! If the gods, demons, or immortals took it, there would be no problem. If anyone else seized it, they could only consume it right here inside. That was why King Daqin had come! Su Yu sighed inward. He didn't know whether King Daqin's choice was right or wrong. Furthermore, King Daqin didn't have to strike just now; he could have waited until the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus bloomed before acting to seize it... Doing so now was far too early! There was still half an hour before it bloomed. Half an hour was more than enough to decide the outcome of a great war. It was simply too early! Could the leader of the human race truly lack even this much patience? Did he have no sense of the bigger picture at all? He had no concept of restraint whatsoever! "Idiot!" "If you held back for just a bit until it bloomed, with your strength, sweeping your spear out by surprise, who could have contested you? Who would be worthy of contesting you?" Su Yu was full of complaints! Far too impatient! Yet even as he grumbled, his emotions surged. King Daqin had still chosen not to hold back. This didn't fit the prudent style of a leader, but this... seemed... far more human, made of flesh and blood. When the human race began falling into a disadvantage, when the dead spirits appeared, when the various races showed signs of stirring, he finally made his move. He didn't wait for the moment the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus bloomed! Choosing to strike ahead of time meant giving up on the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus, choosing Xia Longwu and the others, choosing Lan Tian and his comrades. If he couldn't attain the Dao of a Half-Emperor, then they would live and die together, killing to their hearts' content! Far too impulsive! Boom! A deafening explosion startled Su Yu back to reality. He looked outward. At this moment, every god king was coughing blood, and every demon king was roaring in rage! Before his eyes, only a single figure stood prominent. King Daqin! A blood-soaked hero. At this moment, King Daqin was drenched in blood from head to toe, yet a body hung impaled on the tip of his spear. The spearpoint erupted with brilliant light, and with a thunderous roar— It detonated! That was the opponent's final incarnation! All three embodiments fallen! Rumble! Blood clouds converged as a third Invincible was slain, this one from the god race. Thus far, one Invincible had been killed from each of the gods, demons, and immortals, and a third dead spirit monarch appeared! As for King Daqin, a blade scar ran across his forehead, blood pouring freely and refusing to heal. Someone had landed a strike on his brow that had nearly cleaved his head in two. "Three!" A stiff smile surfaced on King Daqin's face. Three! How many could he kill? He didn't know! Right now, fourteen Invincible existences and three dead spirit existences surrounded him. The enemies had not diminished. Yet he didn't care about the dead spirits. He wouldn't kill dead spirits either; killing them was utterly meaningless. At this moment, on the outer perimeter, a dead spirit monarch said chillingly, "King Daqin, offer an appropriate price, offer corresponding treasures useful to the dead spirit race, and we can depart!" King Daqin ignored him. He had none. Let alone him, even Su Yu had nothing—no, wait, Su Yu had a Life and Death Fruit. He could give that away to persuade one dead spirit monarch to leave, but it wouldn't make much difference. Bloodfire Demon King was also injured now, though far less severely than King Daqin. At this moment, he said coldly, "Dead spirit monarchs, you possess intelligence as well. King Daqin is formidable; let us join forces to kill him! You will complete your mission and receive the rewards of the rules, while we achieve our objective and crush the human race. Cooperating benefits us both!" Join forces! Otherwise, who knew how many would die this time? King Daqin was simply too ferocious. Though his wounds were heavy, he was still at his peak. If this continued, killing him without sacrificing seven or eight Invincibles would be nearly impossible! The gods and demons hadn't scattered either. Scattering was meaningless; scattering here and letting King Daqin pick them off one by one was the most dangerous outcome of all! Having reached the Invincible realm, they possessed at least this much intellect. There was only one way: kill! Settle this through life and death, victory or defeat! ... "He's injured!" Su Yu looked toward King Daqin. The heaviest injury wasn't the blade scar across his forehead, but the flaming, blood-red palm print on his chest. That had been left by Bloodfire Demon King, and it was actively scorching his qi and blood, incinerating his origin qi and physical body. Strong as King Daqin was, there were simply too many Invincibles here. Further out, Lan Tian's shrill cries echoed endlessly, driving Tianzhou back step by step, yet unable to completely crush him. Xingyue and her allies were held back by the Head of the Heaven Division! Su Yu's eyes turned chillingly dark. On the other side, Qin Zhen and the rest were nearly going mad, but the three immortal kings had also lost their minds, frantically burning essence blood to battle them to the death! Su Yu stopped looking at them. Searching further, he soon spotted a Sun Moon dead spirit on the perimeter. Over there was the scent of Xingyue's death qi. The Invincible essence blood was on that dead spirit. Yet could he... consume it right now? "Perhaps... I can take the opportunity to kill an Invincible, obtain the reward, and complete my third transformation. After the third transformation, I can consume the Invincible essence blood." After the third transformation, his physical strength would reach 5.8 million, and once the yang apertures opened, it would soar above ten million! At that point, could he consume Invincible essence blood? Even if he couldn't, ten million was definitely equivalent to the power of a Quasi-Invincible! "Killing an Invincible... for the third transformation, even an assist won't do. Right, the Tianyuan race's Invincible... if I kill him, I can obtain a complete reward!" A complete reward, so long as it was somewhat decent, would definitely allow him to achieve the third transformation. Besides, there was also Old Zhou. "Right, Old Zhou!" "God King Bingfeng is already locked in a bitter battle; he has no time to look after me at all. I'll seize control of the Illusion Sky Mirror first, deceive his senses, capture Yu Sheng and the others—capturing without killing—and prepare to break out at any moment..." Su Yu calculated rapidly! Was it worth it? He didn't know, and who cared! The human race... I have no deep affection for the human race as a whole, but I want my father to have a secure, peaceful home front. I want my teachers to have someone protecting them. And I want to still be able to see that Qin spear standing in the Eastern Rift Valley! Perhaps I'm wrong. Yet I feel this is what I should do. A person lives a single life—isn't it all just to have a clear conscience and peace of mind? At this very moment, Su Yu made up his mind. A drop of Quasi-Invincible essence blood slid silently into his belly. His willpower rapidly enveloped the 109 golden patterns. Not far away, a wisp of God King Bingfeng's willpower was swiftly blocked off by Su Yu. Normally, this wouldn't work—the other party would sense it immediately. But right now... God King Bingfeng's entire focus was on King Daqin; how could he dare show the slightest lapse in attention? This was the opportunity. Perhaps his emergence wouldn't change anything, but there were some things Su Yu felt he had to do! In an instant, Su Yu severed God King Bingfeng's perception. Yu Sheng, however, remained completely oblivious. He wasn't an armamentsmith, and he had never imagined or considered that while God King Bingfeng was still alive, his weapon could be seized by someone else. Zhan Wushuang, who was watching the battle, glanced around. Something felt slightly off, yet he didn't know what had happened. Su Yu was still waiting. He was manufacturing an opportunity! Right at this moment, God King Bingfeng came under attack. With a thunderous boom, the entire Illusion Sky Mirror trembled violently. Even though the others had sealed their six senses, such a violent tremor woke them all up. Some opened their eyes in confusion, while others cried out in alarm! Su Yu, putting on a face of sheer panic, suddenly shrieked, "Look, what is that..." At that exact instant, everyone followed his gaze toward a certain direction. Over there, spatial cracks seemed to have appeared; the Illusion Sky Mirror looked as though it were about to shatter! Yu Sheng was alarmed! Those cracks were not far from Su Yu, and Yu Sheng quickly soared over, barking, "Don't panic! It's just a minor issue. Let me take a look, I'll have it sorted out immediately..." He flew rapidly toward Su Yu. He had seen the cracks too; they weren't particularly large, and he could fix them! Zhan Wushuang was about to fly over as well when his expression suddenly changed. Danger! That hazy premonition of danger made his scalp tingle! It was faint, yet unmistakable! It was an immense, terrifying crisis! "My lord..." He let out a low shout. Yu Sheng hastily turned his head... And Su Yu smiled. Thank you, Zhan Wushuang. You truly are my good partner! You actually went out of your way to call out, diverting his attention. Thank you to your eight generations of ancestors! The moment Zhan Wushuang called out, he realized he had made a terrible mistake, and his face shifted drastically! It was too late! Crack! With a tremendous crash, Su Yu threw a punch, blasting Yu Sheng's head to pieces. Completely off guard! Yes, this fellow Yu Sheng was completely off guard! He had never once thought there could be danger here. It had always been like this; though Zhan Wushuang had warned him many times, he had dismissed it as making a mountain out of a molehill... Now, he tasted the bitter fruit! Su Yu's strike carried the genuine might of a Quasi-Invincible! Yang Hu was not the slightest bit weaker than Yu Sheng. Taking a direct punch to the head while completely undefended—even an iron head would blow apart! Of his three embodiments, one perished instantly. In truth, Yu Sheng only had two embodiments: past and present. His present embodiment was blasted apart by Su Yu's punch, and in the next instant, a feeble past embodiment emerged. Su Yu thrust a massive palm outward. With a deafening boom, the past embodiment shattered, and a carrier surfaced. Su Yu casually grabbed it. Yu Sheng's sea of will didn't shatter; instead, an enormous tome blotting out the sky materialized, instantly blanketing everyone. The page belonging to the god race instantly engulfed Yu Sheng's sea of will—not swallowing it whole, but suppressing it completely! All of this happened far too quickly! It was so impossibly fast that all they saw was Zhan Wushuang shouting, followed immediately by a tome appearing and engulfing everyone! Zhan Wushuang's face went pale! A mix of despair and helplessness washed over him. "I knew it... If you weren't among the immortals, you were here..." In truth, the god race was the more likely option. After all, the immortal race had very few geniuses left. Su Yu could have anticipated that to smoke him out, the immortals might just purge every last one of their own geniuses—that wasn't out of the question. Only the god race still had plenty of geniuses, whom the Invincibles couldn't bear to slaughter. Nor could they strike at them casually! After all, descendants of multiple Invincibles were among them. Su Yu paid him no mind. Countless Sun Moon phantoms appeared, engulfing all those god race cultivators. He didn't kill them; killing them would summon dead spirits, which would be terrible. He suppressed every single one. Several late Sun Moon experts tried to resist, but Su Yu had already stepped forward through the air, throwing punch after punch after punch! He beat them so thoroughly they had no power to retaliate! Zhan Wushuang took a look, drew a deep breath, and refrained from attacking. Looking at Su Yu, he said, "We surrender. Can you spare everyone's lives?" "You... have no right to negotiate terms!" Su Yu looked at him. Even if Zhan Wushuang borrowed Invincible essence blood, Su Yu wouldn't fear him! Moduona borrowing the Demon Emperor's essence blood had barely managed to stall a Quasi-Invincible, to say nothing of Zhan Wushuang, who wasn't even carrying Tiangu's essence blood. Zhan Wushuang smiled bitterly. "I know. But... killing us won't do you much good; it will only expose you... Perhaps you can use everyone to accomplish something. I just hope you can leave them a sliver of hope for survival..." Su Yu said nothing more, stating calmly, "Will you step into my tome to be suppressed voluntarily, or should I blast your physical body apart again and suppress your sea of will?" He had no patience for pointless chatter. Zhan Wushuang glanced toward the sky outside. King Daqin... had spat blood. He could barely hold out much longer! There were simply too many enemies! He understood why Su Yu was making his move now—because Su Yu couldn't wait any longer either. Zhan Wushuang let out a soft sigh and spoke no more. Walking on air, he stepped directly into the floating civilization chronicle, where he was quickly suppressed beneath more than a dozen Sun Moon phantoms. Su Yu retrieved the tome. Within the entire Illusion Sky Mirror, not a single person remained. The civilization chronicle trembled slightly. It was suppressing far too many things! Su Yu stood silently inside the Illusion Sky Mirror, still waiting! Waiting for an opportunity! Waiting for King Daqin to strike at God King Bingfeng. He threw open the Tombstone of Civilizations and opened his sea of will wide. "Kill Bingfeng! King Daqin, kill Bingfeng! Kill Bingfeng!" ... Outside, King Daqin spat blood. His qi, blood, and origin qi were depleted to the extreme, and his time corridor was growing unstable. Suddenly, a faint voice echoed in his mind. Kill Bingfeng! Meanwhile, God King Bingfeng felt a jolt of alarm. Who was chanting his name? Indeed, even though Su Yu had used divine characters to silence God King Bingfeng, the latter was an Invincible after all; he could sense crisis. With Su Yu chanting repeatedly from within his own weapon and opening his sea of will wide, an Invincible could pick up on it. Kill Bingfeng! King Daqin! In this instant, King Daqin smiled—a smile that was no longer quite so stiff. People... were always like that. On the surface, they'd say, 'I'm done being human; what does the race have to do with me?' Yet... at the critical moment, one after another, they still couldn't stop themselves. They still came, revealed themselves, stepped forward... Lan Tian, Su Yu, Wan Tiansheng... There were far too many figures like this. Wan Tiansheng taught Su Yu not to poke his nose into other people's business, but while he could teach others, he couldn't control himself. And so came Wan Tiansheng, the sinner of the human race. "Kill Bingfeng!" King Daqin suddenly laughed aloud, letting out a fierce roar that shook the very heavens! "Kill!" "Heavensplitter!" With a furious shout, a great spear stretched across heaven and earth! The target of this spear: God King Bingfeng! God King Bingfeng had no time to think. When King Daqin charged in for the kill, what Invincible would dare let their thoughts wander for even a fraction of a second? None! "Stop him!" God King Bingfeng roared. At this moment, Bloodfire Demon King, Thunder God King, and the others struck at once. The demons attacked King Daqin's back directly, while the gods struck at his spear! The demons wanted to seize the chance to severely wound King Daqin, while the gods naturally didn't want an Invincible of their own race to fall. Boom! A world-shaking explosion echoed! This spear instantly pierced through the obstruction of several god kings, stabbing clean through God King Bingfeng's head. With a sickening squelch, one embodiment blew apart! At that exact instant, King Daqin was sent staggering back several steps by a punch from Bloodfire Demon King. His back was punched clean through, exposing stark white bone! Yet King Daqin wanted to thrust his spear again, ignoring everything else. Since that kid wanted him to kill Bingfeng, then he would kill Bingfeng to show him just how powerful the Qin spear truly was! Just as he was about to unleash his second thrust—boom! A mirror on God King Bingfeng's body suddenly detonated! A Heaven armament detonated! God King Bingfeng, who had just reconstituted himself, had another embodiment blown to bits by the blast! The moment his third embodiment emerged, a silhouette materialized. "Kill!" Su Yu bellowed ferociously, going all out and holding nothing back! Taking advantage of the instant two of the enemy's embodiments had fallen and the god king was grievously wounded, he channeled the Heaven Cleaving Saber through the Great Circulation Method. His 360 origin apertures blazed like brilliant suns, and all his yang apertures opened wide! He struck with his palm formed into a blade! This was Su Yu's absolute peak strike—amplified by divine characters, throwing everything he had into it, even burning his essence blood! Boom! Though this blade could not compare to the Qin spear, it illuminated heaven and earth. In the distance, even Xia Longwu's saber trembled in resonance! Squelch! The hand-blade slashed down! Without looking back, Su Yu fled at maximum speed. God King Bingfeng had already been wounded and was hiding at the very rear. Now that Su Yu had made the kill, he fled instantly. Around him, some Invincibles wanted to strike, but held back by King Daqin's spear qi, they didn't dare leave rashly. They could only watch helplessly as Su Yu's blade severed Bingfeng's third embodiment! Bang! The third embodiment detonated! Blood clouds covered the entire seventh floor, blotting out heaven and earth. God King Bingfeng was dead! A dead spirit monarch materialized. At the same time, an incomparably dazzling, golden cloud formed above Su Yu's head! "Su Yu!" "Su Yu!" "It's you!" "It's him!" In this instant, cries of utter shock erupted from every direction! The fifth Invincible to fall this day! The dead spirits and Lan Tian had killed one, King Daqin had slain three, and the final one had been taken down by none other than Su Yu... Of course, he had scavenged the kill. Much like Lan Tian, he had merely picked up the pieces—detonating a divine armament to blast away the second embodiment, then slaying the third in the instant the enemy was heavily wounded! And yet... this was likely the youngest and weakest cultivator since ancient times to successfully strike upward and slay an Invincible! A successful kill! The blood clouds gathered into rain. In this moment, humans and the myriad races alike were struck dumb with shock. Su Yu, that monstrous freak, truly was here! Not only was he here, he had actually killed an Invincible! Unimaginable, unbelievable. King Daqin was also visibly stunned. In his astonishment, he suddenly burst into wild laughter. "Good! Good! Good!" His laughter was no longer stiff, but carried a hint of... helplessness. It was over! This foolish brat had come out after all. Though he had slain Bingfeng, the overall situation hadn't improved by much! What was more... a dead spirit monarch, bursting with excitement, charged straight toward Su Yu. The newly arrived dead spirit monarch had noticed the strange situation the moment he arrived, and the three companions who had arrived before him quickly explained what had happened... whereupon this new monarch became ecstatic! Fuck! They have to kill King Daqin, but my mission is to kill this little runt! This is way too damn comfortable! What a blast! In the distance, Su Yu looked on coldly, absorbing the heavenly reward. As for that dead spirit monarch... he would hoodwink him first. Didn't he have the Life and Death Fruit on him? Though of course, he might not actually give it to him!
