Taking hits passively had never been Su Yu's style.
Rather than waiting to be struck, taking the offensive was far better!
Su Yu soared into the air and shouted downward, "Lord Xinghong, please come out of the city and lend me a hand!"
Over by the entrance, chaos raged.
Even so, people still noticed what was happening on this side.
At this moment, everyone was taken by surprise.
Su Yu shouted at the top of his lungs, "I, Su Yu, am right here! What exactly do you people want? If you want to kill me, then come and kill me!"
Inside the city, Xinghong took flight and landed beside Su Yu.
Su Yu bellowed, "Do you see this? Even Lord Xinghong has left the city to stand by my side. How could I possibly be an imposter? Idiots!"
*He's panicking!*
Several Invincibles sneered inwardly. *He's panicked!*
*This imposter has lost his cool!*
*Su Yu? If you're Su Yu, did the Su Yu inside just appear out of thin air?*
Su Yu yelled, "If you don't believe me, come inspect me! Come on! I am Su Yu—I stand tall and hide nothing, my name is Su Yu! Do you have the nerve to lay a finger on all those innocent people? Must you inspect everyone one by one? Aren't you afraid of offending all the races? I can see the Five Elements race, the Destiny race, the God race, the Iron-Eater race, the Devouring Heaven race, and the Spatial Beast race are all there... Do you really insist on offending so many major clans?"
A group of Invincibles stared at him in silence.
Some even wore mocking expressions.
*You're anxious!*
*So very anxious!*
*Are you truly Su Yu?*
Beside him, Xinghong said coldly, "He is Su Yu. Su Yu never went into the Star Residence Mansion in the first place!"
*Good grief, even the guardian is panicking!*
Now, everyone became utterly certain... No, they had already been certain that Su Yu was among the crowd from the mansion, and this only reinforced it. As for this fake Su Yu, haha... what a joke!
Did anyone even care about him?
Fuming with anger, Su Yu shot up into the sky and flew toward the Sea of Stars. "My Sacred City faction also has people among them! I will never permit anyone to inspect our people, or it means war!"
"War!" Xinghong echoed.
By now, he understood Su Yu's plan.
A sneak attack would be terribly difficult.
So don't sneak attack!
Do it openly and right in their faces!
Sure enough, moments later, four Invincibles rushed over: one from the God race, two from the Immortal race, and one from the Demon race. Among the four was Immortal King Tianyu, an advanced-stage Eternal!
Immortal King Tianyu said coldly, "Guardian Xinghong, you wouldn't take action without cause, would you? You had better think twice before causing irreversible consequences!"
Su Yu raged, "Try laying a finger on me! Touch me, and since I am the Master of the Thirty-Six Sacred Cities, you are provoking the entire Sacred City lineage! Do you really think you're all that strong? Believe it or not, I can have all thirty-six guardians strike at once to slay you all and wipe out your clans!"
"..."
Tianyu actually chuckled, saying amusedly, "Little fellow, compared to Su Yu... you are still too green! At the very least, Su Yu wouldn't utter such childish nonsense!"
He laughed!
Not just him, but the three Invincibles beside him laughed as well.
All thirty-six guardians striking simultaneously?
How could they strike?
Violate the rules and charge straight out?
Abandon the ancient cities and leave the passages unguarded?
And then... be struck dead by the lightning tribulations?
The Invincibles found it hilarious. Before encountering real trouble, this little brat hadn't said much and seemed calm enough. But the moment trouble arrived, he completely lost his composure!
From this alone, he fell far short of Su Yu.
Indeed, a fake was a fake. No matter how convincingly he was disguised, he remained an imposter. His bearing and responses could not compare to the real Su Yu. In the end, he lacked that certain essence; otherwise, anyone could be Su Yu.
None of them thought too deeply about it. Wasn't it already a certainty that this Su Yu was fake?
There was no need for surprise, only amusement.
Su Yu grew furious, roaring, "You were looking for me, and here I am! You want to kill me, and I'm right here! I'm standing right beneath your noses! Instead of killing me, you're blabbering nonsense! What's with all this inspecting this person and inspecting that person? I, Su Yu, take responsibility for my own actions! Why must you drag others into this?"
"..."
In the distance, an Invincible said coldly, "Don't waste time on irrelevant people. Tianyu, you and the others keep an eye on Guardian Xinghong! We also hope Guardian Xinghong will not do anything out of line! Leaving your city of your own accord to slaughter people already violates the rules governing you guardians. Must you make things embarrassing for everyone?"
They couldn't be bothered to entertain this fake Su Yu!
Who would be bored enough to waste time on an irrelevant nobody?
They assumed they understood what the fake Su Yu was trying to do: divert everyone's attention and provoke an attack on Xinghong and his side. Once a major clash broke out, the real Su Yu would take the chance to slip back into an ancient city!
Heh!
Far too simplistic.
Would Invincibles start a war with Xinghong and the guardians over an insignificant pawn?
What a joke!
Four Invincibles surrounding Xinghong to prevent him from interfering was more than enough.
...
In front of the Star Residence Mansion, many people's attention was drawn toward Su Yu's direction.
Some of the people who had just exited the mansion had seen Su Yu before entering and hadn't paid him much mind. That one was fake; they had seen the real one right inside the mansion!
The Second Elder of the Hunting Heaven Pavilion spoke up faintly, "Our Hunting Heaven Pavilion only deals in intelligence. I will simply recount what I witnessed. I encountered Su Yu on the eighth floor. He killed our fellow Daoist from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, and later, at the Blood Knight General's Manor, he slew the heavily wounded Demon King Blood Fire. I can vouch for all of this. Everything I saw and said is the absolute truth!"
No one spoke, but among the Hunting Heaven Pavilion's group, the Scholar slightly frowned. "Tell me, where is Minister Tian?"
"This... your subordinate does not know!"
Several Invincibles of the Hunting Heaven Pavilion also appeared, looking bewildered and surprised. Where was he?
Where was the Minister of the Tian Division?
Dead?
Impossible!
If such a formidable figure had truly died, there would have been some disturbance. Could he... have been trapped inside the Star Residence Mansion?
Furthermore...
Someone asked anxiously, "Whose hands is the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus in?"
That was crucial as well!
Where was the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus?
"Su Yu!" Kongkong shouted. "It's in Su Yu's hands!"
"It was indeed seized by Su Yu!" an expert of the Five Elements race chimed in.
Su Yu had instructed them to say all of this. In the distance, King Daqin's expression shifted slightly. Soon after, an Invincible of the Destiny race also said softly, "It was taken by Su Yu!"
"It's in Su Yu's hands!"
"..."
Even Jiu Yue, munching on snacks, mumbled vaguely, "Su Yu took it!"
Public consensus was unanimous!
Everyone claimed it had been taken by Su Yu!
King Daqin's heart stirred. He had reached an agreement with these people earlier, yet not a single one was sticking to what had been agreed upon. Evidently... Su Yu had made this call himself.
King Daqin was moved.
Su Yu was in massive trouble now!
Everyone was saying the treasure was in Su Yu's hands and the people were killed by Su Yu... while everyone else had returned empty-handed. What else could be said?
This was driving Su Yu into a corner of certain death!
King Daqin glanced out of the corner of his eye toward the Su Yu in the distance. Was that Su Yu... real or fake?
Given the distance, he couldn't easily probe with his willpower. From a brief glance, with several Invincibles nearby preventing a thorough inspection, even he couldn't tell for a moment whether that was the real Su Yu.
If even he was uncertain, let alone the others.
Among those who had come out, some were positive Su Yu was hiding in the crowd, while others wondered whether Su Yu had departed via the dead spirit passage.
Jiu Yue and his companions, for instance.
They had their suspicions, but they couldn't voice them now. If they spoke, certain things couldn't be explained. So many Invincibles had died while they survived; that alone was impossible to justify.
Therefore, the best approach was to push everything onto Su Yu!
Every single thing!
Let Su Yu bear it all alone!
This was also Su Yu's own choice. There was no need to complicate matters; shifting all the blame onto himself settled everything.
Farther away, the expressions on King Daxia and the others shifted continuously.
It was all Su Yu!
Everything had become Su Yu's doing.
Even the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus was in Su Yu's hands. More than a few covetous eyes were on that treasure. Anyone at the seventh stage of the Eternal Realm or above desperately wanted it, and even those below that level craved it just as much!
"Su Yu... he actually snatched the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus?"
A group of experts was rendered speechless.
*Are you all useless?*
"What is his cultivation level now?"
"He can fight quasi-Invincibles!" someone answered.
The Invincibles were dumbfounded again. *Damn it, are you all morons?*
A fellow capable of fighting quasi-Invincibles was terrifying, sure, but there had been thirty Invincibles inside, plus a whole crowd of figures from the Dao Attainment Ranking who could rival Invincibles! Yet Su Yu had snatched it away? Was this a joke?
Some of the Five Elements race experts waiting outside said in deep voices, "Jin Rui, how could the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus be taken by Su Yu?"
Jin Rui, the Metal Spirit race expert who had taken part in the battle, cursed inwardly. *Nonsense, go in and see for yourself! It's sheer luck that I made it back alive! How could it be taken by Su Yu? Do you think you're stronger than Blood Fire and the others?*
Outwardly, Jin Rui said, "The specifics are hard to describe. Su Yu seemed to control some terrifying entity inside. Somehow, he summoned an unimaginably dreadful existence that wiped out everyone in a single sweep. Even Blood Fire and the others were gravely injured. We were fortunate that we didn't dare fight over it, which was the only reason we escaped with our lives!"
A terrifying entity?
For an Invincible to call an entity terrifying, just how strong was it?
Connecting this to the earlier disturbances, several experts' expressions changed. So that was it!
No wonder!
No wonder Su Yu was killing people and taking treasures; the fellow had found a backer inside! That explained everything!
Divine radiance erupted from the eyes of the Invincibles as they looked toward the survivors.
Several of them even produced an eye in their hands!
A Dao Integration eye!
They were probing!
One eye peered at King Daqin, twitching slightly, but could not see through him easily.
Others saw Zhan Wushuang and the rest. However... they were all unconscious, and worse, restrictions had been placed on them. The God race experts turned pale and looked toward the human faction.
King Daqin remained silent, while Zhu Tianfang smiled and said, "Don't look at us. Su Yu placed those restrictions on them. The God race had better not tamper with them, or if these people blow up, no one can help you!"
The expressions of the God race experts shifted uneasily.
Some of them wanted to retrieve their geniuses, but several Invincibles barked, "Wait until the inspection is finished!"
Who knew if Su Yu had disguised himself among them?
There wasn't just one Dao Integration eye active, but several, meaning multiple Dao Integration experts were probing, observing the three incarnations, gazing into the past and future!
As for probing the sea of will directly... that was taboo even now, as many among the survivors were descendants of Invincibles.
Soon, someone looked toward the human faction and barked coldly, "All humans, open your seas of will for our inspection!"
King Daqin said coldly, "What did you just say?"
"King Daming, don't think we don't know what you're thinking! Are you trying to shield Su Yu?"
Someone berated, shouting, "Su Yu might very well be hiding among the humans!"
Beside him, Xia Longwu said in a low voice, "He still cares about the human race; otherwise, so many humans wouldn't have survived. In that case... would he hide among them? Use your heads!"
"Hmph!"
Though Xia Longwu made sense, so many humans had survived, not a single Invincible among them had perished, and Yun Chen had even attained the Dao. Shouldn't they make things difficult for them?
Not only should they, they had to press them hard!
In the distance, King Daming, disguised as King Dazhou, flickered his eyes and shouted quickly, "You only want to find Su Yu. Do you really insist on going to war with our human race? Let our people come over first! Going to war benefits none of you!"
King Daqin's aura didn't seem particularly weak!
This surprised King Daming and the others. Had he recovered?
Or what?
Regardless, they did not sense any major problem from him.
...
While they argued, no one paid any mind to Su Yu over on his side.
The four Invincibles standing guard had no grand ambitions.
If you don't cause trouble, we won't touch you!
If you do, four Invincibles can suppress Xinghong. Even if Xinghong was powerful, he wasn't strong enough to fight four at once, especially with a seventh-stage Eternal among them.
Xinghong's own strength was roughly at the eighth stage of Eternal, and being an ancient existence, he was perhaps even stronger than ordinary experts of that tier. However, no matter how strong he was, he could not easily defeat four Invincibles.
Moreover, Xinghong had duties binding him, and they hadn't provoked the ancient city. If Xinghong attacked, did he think the rules were mere decorations?
Meanwhile, Su Yu wore a face full of helplessness.
*I really have no choice!*
Gritting his teeth, he said, "I am Su Yu, the real Su Yu! If you attack me, you are provoking the Sacred City! This is my final warning—don't push it too far! Tianyu, I'm warning you: attacking me makes you an enemy of the Sacred Cities! I will have all the guardians strike and blast you to death!"
"Hahaha!"
Immortal King Tianyu laughed. This guy was utterly hilarious!
He looked toward Xinghong. "Guardian Xinghong, if I beat him to death, he is merely an ordinary ancient city resident. Killing him is just killing him, no problem, right? If you stepped in for Su Yu, your city lord, that would be understandable. But surely you wouldn't cause trouble over a common resident, would you?"
Xinghong said coldly, "Killing an ordinary resident inside the city is forbidden. Outside the city, it is naturally not my place to interfere! But killing Su Yu, my city lord, is an outright provocation!"
"Hahaha, as if he's Su Yu!"
Tianyu laughed uncontrollably. "Little fellow, you've bounced around long enough. If you keep stirring up trouble, this king will truly kill you to show you what an Eternal is! Do you understand?"
His final sentence was laced with clear killing intent and irritation.
*Shut up already!*
*A tiny minnow, dancing around endlessly, are you done yet?*
*Su Yu has the capital to provoke Invincibles—do you?*
Meanwhile, Su Yu calculated in his mind. *Not bad. The provocation setup is complete. This time, these fellows will definitely attack me. Perfect!*
He glanced forward, planning who to hit, who to kill, which races could be spared, and which could not...
Right now, anyone surrounding the humans and refusing to let them leave had to be eliminated!
Those watching from the sidelines could be spared for now.
Killing them all was impossible anyway.
Killing the chicken to warn the monkey... didn't mean slaughtering the monkey too; mainly, that would be too difficult!
With that in mind, Su Yu roared once more, "Impudent! You dare provoke the great Master of the Sacred Cities? All guardians, hear my command! Should any of these people dare raise a hand against me, show no mercy—slay them all!"
Silence.
No one responded. But after a moment, Tianmie's lazy voice drifted over, "Fine, fine, we heard you. If they strike at you, we'll leave the cities and kill them! Killing Su Yu is a provocation—got it!"
The crowd chuckled.
They were actually acting as if it were real!
*Go ahead and come out to kill us, then!*
...
The Invincibles dismissed it as nonsense.
Yet at that moment, someone's expression shifted.
Among the Five Elements race, Foutuling looked at Jin Rui and quickly sent a voice transmission: "Elder, hurry, tell the other old fellows in our clan to leave at once..."
Jin Rui was startled. What now?
"Elder, haven't you realized yet? That's Su Yu!"
Foutuling was exasperated. How could he not understand?
*That's the real damn Su Yu!*
The stage was almost fully set. Once Su Yu initiated the confrontation and the Gods, Immortals, or Demons attacked him, boom, a full-scale battle would erupt, and the guardians would strike. Because... they had said it repeatedly in advance.
Killing Su Yu was provoking them!
Could he not understand that? Could he not see it?
Jin Rui felt dazed. No way, that was the real Su Yu?
Su Yu... wasn't hiding in the surroundings?
Stop joking!
He had assumed Su Yu was hiding in the crowd, but... he wasn't?
Good grief!
He had really left beforehand?
Elsewhere, Moduona furrowed his brows slightly, looking at the seemingly foolish Su Yu in the distance. If he was fake, he was a genuine idiot—who would take those provocative words seriously?
But what if he was real?
Su Yu... was out?
How did he get out?
The dead spirit passage?
Moduona felt suspicious, but kept quiet. He hesitated briefly before looking toward his elder, Demon King Mo Ge, and said, "Ancestor, inspect me first. Once done, I want to leave. I'm injured!"
Mo Ge glanced at Moduona. The Demon race had very few survivors this time. While a few other demons had survived by luck, Moduona was the most important.
Mo Ge also held a Dao Integration eye. Looking at Moduona, he immediately said, "Everyone, Moduona carries the aura of the Demon Emperor's essence blood. He cannot be Su Yu. I will supervise him personally. How about it?"
The other Invincibles considered it and raised no objections. Since he carried the Demon Emperor's essence blood, there was little issue.
No matter how daring Su Yu was, he wouldn't dare taint himself with the Demon Emperor's essence blood, as that could easily lead to him being struck down by the Demon Emperor.
Only then did Mo Ge reach out to bring Moduona over. As for the other demons, he didn't pay them much mind for now; they would be checked thoroughly later to ensure Su Yu hadn't slipped in among them.
The moment Moduona reached his side, he sent a frantic voice transmission: "Ancestor, this has nothing to do with us. Let's leave quickly..."
"Leave?"
Mo Ge frowned and replied, "No matter what, Su Yu must die this time. If he doesn't die, he will become a catastrophic threat! Besides, you are from the same generation. If he lives, your brilliance will be overshadowed, your fortune usurped, and your progress will slow..."
Moduona fell silent and said no more.
His ancestor refused to leave!
He feared disaster was looming!
Meanwhile, the Dao Integration eyes inspected the survivors one by one. For those from smaller races, the wielders showed no courtesy at all, invading even their seas of will. Dao Integration experts knew who they could push around.
Why worry about offending races that lacked powerful backers?
As for major races like the Gods, the inspection was conducted primarily through the Dao Integration eyes rather than direct intrusions into their seas of will...
Just then, on the Immortal race's side, an Invincible's face went pale before lighting up with joy. "My son is still alive!"
Everyone turned to look at him!
A sole survivor!
The Immortal race had actually managed to have one survivor.
Even Su Yu was surprised. A fish had slipped through the net?
Among the crowd, an Immortal expert at the Sun Moon Realm looked around in utter bewilderment and terror. *I'm the only Immortal left?*
He looked toward his father and blurted, "Father, I went down to the first floor to investigate that day, and there was no danger at all! As for Su Yu, I never ran into him, there was no danger!"
He remembered his father's instructions!
Right, he had to claim he went to the first floor, or trouble would follow.
Indeed, this was the very person the Immortal Invincible had contacted earlier, pretending he had been sent to scout the first floor. In reality, he had fled early—astonishingly early!
He had gone straight to the seventh floor, and before news of Hetu's arrival reached the seventh, he had fled to the eighth. Once on the eighth floor, he went nowhere else; he simply holed up in the manor of a minor Immortal general to cultivate in seclusion.
Along the way, his strength had grown considerably, reaching the eighth stage of the Sun Moon Realm!
Remembering his father's admonition, he was shaken to the core. *Everyone else died? Good grief! Then I definitely have to say I went to the first floor, or what if the blame falls on me?!*
However... the moment those words left his mouth, everyone gave him strange looks.
*You went to the first floor? Are you sure?*
*Hetu slaughtered his way up! You went to the first floor and didn't run into Hetu? Who the hell are you trying to fool?!*
The Immortal Invincible's expression stiffened, though he recovered quickly and barked, "Nonsense! You went straight to the sixth and seventh floors and had no ability to descend to the first. How dare you talk rubbish?"
*Rubbish?*
The Sun Moon Immortal was baffled. *What's wrong with my father? When I was inside, you told me to say that!*
The Immortal King felt slightly embarrassed, but being an old monster, his expression remained unchanged. "Stop spouting nonsense! You were frightened out of your wits by Hetu. Sigh, to think I have such a useless failure of a descendant, fleeing the moment you saw Hetu and then babbling nonsense!"
"..."
*Hetu?*
The Sun Moon expert wasn't stupid and vaguely understood.
*I... seem to have said the wrong thing.*
*Hetu was in the Star Residence Mansion too? Fine, claiming I went to the first floor was a blunder. Whatever, I'm already out, who cares!*
*Everyone else died? Impossible, five Immortal Kings were inside!* He couldn't even fathom it. Not only were the Immortal Kings gone, but the Invincibles of all the major races seemed to have perished.
The other Invincibles weren't fools either; they glared gloomily at the Immortal King.
They understood now!
This fellow had been the first to message his descendant inside. Everyone had thought he genuinely sent his son down to investigate, but it turned out... it was a lie! That damnable bastard, a dignified Immortal King acting so shameless!
Now, his lie was exposed!
Crucially, the other Immortal Kings felt deep jealousy and fury.
Their clan members were wiped out, yet this fellow's son had slipped away!
Unsurprisingly, it had everything to do with this fellow's warning.
...
In the distance, Su Yu was surprised as well, but quickly pieced it together.
*Impressive!*
*A lone survivor actually made it out!*
*Heavens, what luck—this guy must carry immense fortune for the Immortal race!*
Seeing those experts steadily pressing toward the humans, Su Yu took a deep breath. He couldn't let them inspect the humans, lest King Daqin be exposed. Although King Daqin had recovered a good deal of strength, he had lost two of his incarnations, after all.
With an expression of resolute martyrdom, Su Yu took another step forward, moving slightly away from Xinghong, and roared, "Must you block me? Don't push it too far! I'm only going to bring a few people back..."
Tianyu and his companions were dumbfounded.
They had seen people court death, but never quite like this!
*You really want to die?*
*Standing next to Xinghong was one thing, but you stepped out on your own! You truly won't shed tears until you see your own coffin!*
Beside Immortal King Tianyu, another Immortal King remarked indifferently, "Is staying alive not good enough?"
"Little minnow, if you didn't meddle and cause trouble, killing you would only dirty my hands! Do you understand?"
For a dignified heavenly king, killing a minnow like him was truly beneath him!
Did he not know that?
Su Yu looked enraged, anxious, and helpless. Gritting his teeth, he turned toward Xinghong behind him. "My lord, if they attack me... will you truly strike?"
Tianyu and the others nearly burst into laughter again!
Hadn't he sounded righteous and fearless just moments ago?
Why had he lost his confidence all of a sudden? Indeed, a fake was a fake, lacking backbone and terrified that Xinghong wouldn't step in. They were practically dying of laughter at this amusing little clown!
All of today's joy was built upon this little fellow.
They had been mourning their losses, but his antics had genuinely cheered them up—so much so that when they killed him in a moment, they might just grant him a quick death out of pity!
Xinghong remained expressionless. *Your acting... is truly garbage.*
*Fine, since you wrote and directed the play yourself, garbage it is.*
"We will!"
"Then... thank you, my lord!"
Wearing a reckless, desperate look, Su Yu glared at that Immortal King, then at Tianyu, weighing his options. *Which one should I hit?*
All the Invincibles here possessed three incarnations!
Naturally, anyone with only a single incarnation wouldn't dare surround Xinghong; that would be seeking death.
If he attacked Tianyu, he could at most destroy one incarnation, and even that wasn't guaranteed, as he might not be able to bypass his perception.
As for the other Immortal King, he was roughly at the fifth stage of Eternal.
There was a real chance of wiping him out in one go—one punch per incarnation, ending the fight in three punches, killing him outright...
Su Yu made up his mind. Glaring at that Immortal King with boundless rage, he ground his teeth. "What's your name? I'm going to beat you to death!"
"You... hahaha!" That Immortal King laughed heartily. "This king can fulfill your wish! You little minnow, this king's title is—"
"No need to know, you talk too much!"
Su Yu snorted. Suddenly gritting his teeth, he charged furiously at him!
"..."
Everyone was stunned!
The onlookers were completely flabbergasted. Court death, sure, but this fake Su Yu was taking it to another level!
The Immortal King felt a mix of exasperation and surprise, yet he retained some vigilance. Probing Su Yu, he extended a palm to swat him away—better not let this brat get too close, just in case something went awry!
He was genuinely speechless. Where did the boy get such courage?
Who on earth gave him this nerve?
Did Xinghong give it to him?
Su Yu continued hurtling toward him, teeth clenched, looking ready to die. As the gigantic palm of astral qi came smashing down, Su Yu suddenly cursed, "You really dare attack me? You initiated the attack..."
The Immortal King gave him no chance to speak. *Idiot, I'm going to slap you into paste!*
"You're the one who attacked first!"
Su Yu roared. *You attacked first, you broke the rules!*
In that split second, his "Pierce" divine character activated, instantly shifting him forward... by less than a hundred meters, but that was plenty to put him right in front of the Invincible.
The teleportation distance was short!
Yet it was blindingly fast. Spatial traversal was truly convenient.
Otherwise, flying straight over would have taken a moment longer.
The moment he appeared, the Invincible sensed the spatial fluctuation. He sneered, surprised but not alarmed, balling his other hand into a fist and smashing it toward the newly torn space!
*Die, brat!*
*A spatial cultivator? Everyone knows Su Yu has no spatial divine characters, or he would have used them long ago! You still dare impersonate Su Yu?*
"Mountain Suppression!"
At that very moment, Su Yu bellowed. Except for his yang apertures, all his power erupted in an instant.
*Damn it! We're face-to-face, and you're still acting this arrogant? Do you think I, Su Yu, have never killed an Invincible before?!*
That roar of "Mountain Suppression!" startled everyone, drawing countless eyes.
*Boom!*
A world-shaking detonation rang out! Everyone witnessed the scene with absolute clarity: that fifth-stage Eternal Immortal King was blown apart by Su Yu's single punch, shattered into pieces!
The river of time and space manifested!
In an instant, an incarnation of the Immortal King revived, wearing an expression of bewilderment and terror. Pure bewilderment—how could this be?
How was this possible?!
Yet he had no time to think. Su Yu's heavy fist was already descending again, a muffled roar tearing from his throat as the blow crashed down!
Nearby, the other three Invincibles sensed the eruption and struck out in shock and horror. They didn't understand, but they knew they had to act!
At the same time, Xinghong was already prepared!
He roared furiously, "Insolent! You dare provoke us and murder my Sacred City's master? Die!"
*Boom!*
Xinghong threw a punch of his own, shattering heaven and earth!
The expressions of the three Invincibles changed drastically. They hastily redirected their attacks toward Xinghong. Xinghong had actually struck!
What was going on?
Why did Xinghong dare attack proactively?
Impossible, this was impossible... Could it be... this was truly Su Yu?
The moment the thought surfaced, they didn't dare pursue it!
They truly didn't dare!
How could Su Yu be outside?!
It made no sense!
While they were still reeling from shock, before the distant Invincibles could even react, Su Yu showed no mercy on his end, pouring his full might into another strike. *Boom!*
Another deafening roar!
The second incarnation was obliterated!
Once an Invincible lost an incarnation, their strength plummeted, let alone when caught completely off guard and having two destroyed in an instant. Within the river of time and space, the final incarnation emerged somewhat uncontrollably.
The Immortal King was thoroughly terrified now, roaring in panic, "No, you can't!"
*You can't kill me! I am an Immortal King! A king of the Immortal race! I haven't done anything, how could I die? This is impossible! Who on earth are you?!*
Filled with endless despair and horror, he knew this couldn't be Su Yu. It wasn't him, absolutely not—how could Su Yu be this strong?!
Who was he?!
*Boom!*
The third punch struck!
Like a towering mountain pressing down on his past incarnation, the blow landed, shattering the river of time with a tremendous rumble. The third incarnation was completely pulverized!
*Rumble!*
Blood clouds gathered in the void!
Far away, the Immortal Realm trembled slightly. Within the realm, a great mountain split apart, revealing a Dao palace.
Heaven and earth crumbled!
Origin qi and willpower scattered into the wind.
Until the moment of his death, the Immortal King's resentment surged, his roar echoing between heaven and earth with boundless unwillingness.
"Who on earth are you?!"
*Who are you?! Why kill me?! How could you kill me?!*
The great slaughterer Su Yu, freshly emerged from the city, had slain an Immortal King to consecrate his banner!
Without paying him any further mind, Su Yu spun around and threw a punch at the Demon King, while Xinghong launched a pincer attack alongside him, roaring as countless stars manifested to suppress Tianyu and the God King!
Only now did the onlookers in the distance react.
Too fast!
It had happened at an unimaginable, unbelievable speed!
In at most a single second, an Immortal King had been blown to pieces!
All three incarnations slain!
He was dead—completely and utterly dead!
This wasn't just losing an incarnation; it was total demise. He was dead!
"King Heng!" an Immortal expert cried out in shock, rage, and terror!
What had just happened?
Who was that?!
Su Yu threw another punch in silence. Who had time to chat with them?
He would kill an Immortal King to consecrate his banner first!
In the next instant, more than a dozen Invincibles charged over from afar, someone roaring, "He is Su Yu!"
Chills ran down every spine!
Su Yu!
The Su Yu who killed Invincibles, who slew a fifth-stage Eternal.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought: *Madness, sheer madness.*
Su Yu could actually kill Invincibles!
And that wasn't even the point. The point was... Su Yu was really outside?!
Then who was the one inside?
They were completely bewildered!
Even the Invincibles were dazed!
They felt like fools, played like fiddles in Su Yu's hands, toyed with and ridiculed, and the price was the instantaneous death of an Immortal King!
As the distant Invincibles rushed over, Xinghong's fist knocked Tianyu and the God King backward, while Su Yu's punch sent the Demon King tumbling.
The three Invincibles' expressions shifted violently.
Even now, they had no time to process what had happened. They only knew Xinghong was terrifyingly strong and had attacked, and the fake Su Yu was strong too... Damn it, was he fake?
Was he real or fake?!
Right then, Su Yu roared in indignation, "Are you ganging up on me because you have more people? So many Invincibles ganging up on me, Su Yu? Thirty-six guardians, aid me in slaying the enemy!"
"Understood!"
A unified roar shook the heavens and earth.
In the next moment, thirty-four Invincible figures materialized in the void. Adding Xinghong, there were thirty-five—a sight no one had anticipated.
Between heaven and earth, only these thirty-five colossal figures remained. No, including Su Yu, thirty-six!
Every single one was an overwhelmingly powerful existence!
"Kill!"
With a thunderous shout, thirty-six fists struck across the world!
"No!" Immortal King Tianyu screamed in utter terror. This location was close to the ancient cities, while the Invincibles in the rear were farther away. Even if someone could arrive in an instant... they wouldn't dare!
Damn it!
All the guardians had come out—who would dare?
No one dared!
*Boom!*
Thirty-six fists slammed down, collapsing the entire void!
Immortal King Tianyu was instantly pulverized by seven or eight fists. The moment he revived, another seven or eight fists obliterated him. Reviving once more, yet another seven or eight fists crashed down...
On his final revival, just like the previous Immortal King, he was filled with despair, unwillingness, and sheer bewilderment. He shrieked, "Who are you?!"
He stared at Su Yu!
Su Yu threw a punch, looking utterly exasperated. "Bullshit, I'm Su Yu! How many damn times do I have to say it?!"
*Su Yu!*
Immortal King Tianyu felt an overwhelming bitterness. Yes, he was Su Yu—he had said so all along!
*Yet I... I refused to believe him! I am Immortal King Tianyu, a seventh-stage Eternal, a king of the Immortal race, and yet I'm dying... I cannot accept this!*
*Boom!*
The river of time shattered. Seven or eight fists descended, and Immortal King Tianyu perished, blood clouds gathering in an instant!
Meanwhile, the Demon King and God King were far weaker than Tianyu.
Under the onslaught of thirty-six experts, their three incarnations were as fragile as tofu.
*Rumble!*
A barrage of thunderous explosions echoed. Moments later, the void was reduced to pitch-black nothingness.
Four blood clouds gathered in the sky, a faint rain of blood beginning to fall.
Silence!
At this moment, the world was completely still.
Opposite them, more than a dozen Invincibles halted in their tracks, their faces deathly pale.
On Su Yu's side, thirty-five stone statues stood behind him. Su Yu's white robe drifted like snow in the wind, his long hair dancing lightly.
Su Yu pulled out a white cloth and wiped the blood from his hands.
Tossing the cloth aside, he looked at the frozen Invincibles across from him, smiling radiantly like a saint. His tone was gentle as he asked, "Everyone, they attacked me first. I told them I was Su Yu and that they couldn't attack me, but they insisted on seeking death... You don't find anything improper about this, do you?"
"..."
Four Invincibles dead!
All for that single line: "I am Su Yu."
He truly was Su Yu!
At this moment, death qi billowed from Su Yu's body, shaking the heavens—the result of shouldering the death qi of thirty-five cities. His white robe was rapidly turning black, yet it only made him appear all the more sinister and demonic!
This... really was Su Yu!
Because only he could shoulder the death qi of all the ancient cities at once!
Across the expanse, the Invincibles of all races stood paralyzed in shock!
Su Yu had summoned thirty-five Invincible guardians!
They had left their cities!
Simultaneously, the void tore open in multiple places as ancient, unimaginably formidable existences revealed their figures one after another.
Within the Hunting Heaven Pavilion, Warden Tianhou's expression shifted.
In the distance, General Duobao, draped in opulence, wore a solemn look.
Farther away, the entrance to the Immortal Realm opened, and Tiangu's true body stood at the threshold, his gaze piercing millions of li to fix upon Su Yu.
Ancient existences hiding in the shadows revealed their shock. Some tore through the void to draw near, some probed with willpower, and others observed from beyond realm boundaries.
Above the Sea of Stars, Su Yu smiled radiantly. Corroded by death qi, his white robe turned entirely black, yet his features remained unchanged. Clad in black, Su Yu looked even colder and sharper!
"Su Yu!"
"Su Yu!"
"..."
Whispers resonated from all directions. Peerless powerhouses felt they needed to reacquaint themselves with this young human.
A terrifying existence!
Because behind him stood thirty-six ancient Invincibles!
And he himself had effortlessly slain a fifth-stage Eternal in combat. Even if it was an ambush, that was his own power—a strength that inspired despair and disbelief!
Among the human faction, King Daqin, King Daxia, King Daming, King Datang... were all struck dumb.
*This is Su Yu? You've got to be kidding me! This... is really Su Yu?*
Farther back, Bai Feng and the others had their jaws hanging open. Bai Feng mumbled, "My disciple?"
*Stop joking, impossible! An existence who casually slaughters an Immortal King?!*
Even farther away, at the Eastern Rift Valley, "King Daqin" bit his own tongue with a sharp snap. King Dazhou was dumbfounded. *I consider myself knowledgeable and experienced, but an existence who comes out after a month's absence and immediately slaughters four Invincibles... I dare not believe he is Su Yu! This is too fast!*
Across the myriad realms and races, no one dared believe it, yet they had no choice but to believe!
Behind Su Yu, the stone statues felt only exhilaration, thrill, madness, and release!
*We are the true Invincibles!*
*We are out!*
*Hahaha!*
The ancient Invincibles were practically euphoric. Even as they sensed powerhouses gathering from all sides and recognized familiar faces, they looked upon them with sheer disdain.
*Come, then—let us slaughter to our hearts' content!*
The old antiques in Su Yu's eyes, even Dao Integration experts, had been mere juniors to them in the ancient past!
Guarding the passages for a hundred thousand years had merely brought the tigers low!
Today, they would declare to the myriad realms that they were still here, still alive, and not dead men!
Ahead of them, Su Yu's robes fluttered. He could feel the surging passion behind him.
Wearing a smile, Su Yu said slowly, "How many of you want to kill me? Come, step forward! Today, why don't we settle victory and defeat, and fight to the death! I, Su Yu, will wait for you right here!"
His voice rang out with resounding force, shaking the heavens!
*I am right here!*
*If you want to kill me, come!*
At this moment, the Invincibles of the Five Elements race retreated hastily, and the Invincibles of the Destiny race departed in a hurry, giving him a wide berth!
Today, Su Yu was the sole protagonist of the heavens!
