An Invincible Combination

"So strong!" The Invincible grunted. Though Su Yu had killed King Heng earlier, that had mostly been an ambush. Now, Su Yu was clashing with him head-on. Another Invincible shouted, "He only has brute strength! Watch out for his Dao of Space—strike him in his past and future!" At these words, the Invincible attacking Su Yu immediately knew how to respond. Su Yu's vision blurred. A River of Time surged forward once more, enveloping him. In an instant, his sight wavered as though he were being pulled back to the moment just passed. This opponent was far more troublesome than Blood Fire had been! Back then, Blood Fire had been heavily wounded, his temporal power weakened. Even so, Su Yu knew how to counter it. The enemy wanted to kill his immediate past self. Even if that past self were destroyed, Su Yu would not die so easily, but he would inevitably suffer injuries. Su Yu let out a low growl, activating his "Slow" divine character. With a thunderous boom, a hairline fracture seemed to appear across the "Slow" character, yet the enemy's River of Time ground to a momentary halt! An attack that had existed across different dimensions instantly snapped into the very same plane! Su Yu threw a punch. The Invincible expert's face shifted slightly, and he hurriedly drove his river to flee. Su Yu's fist hit nothing but empty air! He lashed out with a kick—time trembled, the river congealed—Sever the River! Su Yu pushed his *Time* cultivation technique to its absolute peak. With that single kick, time itself seemed to freeze. In a separate pocket of space, King Miecan, who was currently locked in battle, felt a tremor in his heart. He glanced over, his expression subtly changing. *What a kid!* To actually unleash such a kick—shattering time through brute strength, truly breaking the Dao with sheer physical might! This was practically impossible; only someone like Su Yu, possessing boundless brute strength while grasping few laws, could ever pull off such a feat! *Boom!* Another colossal detonation tore through the void. Su Yu's kick struck the River of Time squarely. The river shuddered, and with an ear-splitting roar, it burst apart! The Invincible expert stumbled backward again, blood spilling from his lips. He was utterly appalled! He was a fifth-stage Eternal himself, yet his raw physical power fell short of Su Yu's. Even when employing the laws, Su Yu had repeatedly disrupted him, inflicting severe backlash upon his body. "Su Yu, you truly are a monster!" Su Yu watched him without giving chase. Catching this foe would be difficult, and besides, he had no intention of leaving. He had already locked onto Xingyue's location right in this vicinity, and he would not stray from it. If he opened a dead spirit channel right here, there might be dozens of dead spirits holding a council meeting just below! Su Yu imagined someone would be very pleased with that! Composed and unhurried, Su Yu looked at his opponent and said calmly, "Whatever other trump cards you have, bring them out. This isn't enough! You think sending a single Eternal can kill me?" Evenly matched? Hardly! The myriad races would never settle for that! If they wanted him dead, if they were willing to pay such a staggering price, and if they still had Invincibles to spare, why would they fight him on even terms? Sure enough, three more Invincible experts stepped out of the void. By now, the other experts around Su Yu were all tangled up in their own fights. The three Invincible experts advanced toward Su Yu, their expressions grave. What a remarkable Su Yu! He had cultivated for only a few short years, yet he could already battle Invincibles. The human race had not seen such a monster in countless ages! Even the Human King from the previous tidal change had not been this terrifying at Su Yu's age! This person had to die! The three Invincibles arrived and joined forces with the first. Without a word, four Rivers of Time surged through the void, converging upon him. *Boom!* A deafening explosion rang out once more! Su Yu threw punch after punch, his strikes endlessly fierce! Boundlessly ferocious! Above his brow, the Heaven Gate faintly manifested. He was going to erupt; he was going to kill! Open the Heaven Gate and slay Invincibles! *** Inside the Hunting Heaven Pavilion. Several Invincibles had not joined the fray. At this moment, they gathered together. The ministers of the Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow Divisions, the masters of the Eastern and Western Pavilions, the hosts of the Southern and Northern Towers, the Grand Law Enforcement Elder... The Minister of the Heaven Division was absent, and since Zhu Tianfang had held the post of Minister of the Yellow Division, no replacement had yet been chosen. Of the nine Invincibles, including Marquis Jiantian, seven were present. This was an immensely formidable power in its own right! Marquis Jiantian in particular was an ancient marquis of astonishing might—a genuine Dao Integration expert from antiquity. At this moment, everyone turned their eyes toward the scholar. What choice would the Hunting Heaven Pavilion make? Massive numbers of experts from every race had thrown themselves into the slaughter. More than a hundred Invincibles were now locked in battle, with hordes of high-stage Eternals participating. This battle was a true contest of life and death, nothing like the simple obstruction of last time. Those guardians were completely feral, killing wherever they could, with no intention of holding back. Once drawn into a battle like this, the slightest misstep would mean death and downfall! "Pavilion Master..." Marquis Jiantian did not speak. Instead, he looked down toward Su Yu. When his gaze fell upon the faintly flickering Heaven Gate at Su Yu's glabella, a complex emotion surfaced in his eyes. *He looks so much like him!* *Lord King Wen... Were you truly the Time Master?* *Does Su Yu inherit your legacy as the Time Master, or is the Multiple Divine Characters lineage indeed your true personal legacy?* Whichever it was, Su Yu was very likely King Wen's true heir. The genuine article! If he had inherited both, it would be even more terrifying. Could this be the next King Wen? He watched in silence, never uttering a word. One Invincible could bear it no longer. "Pavilion Master, should we intervene?" Marquis Jiantian watched a little longer, then said placidly, "No rush. Let us watch and see!" Did they truly think this was the end? No, this was merely the beginning! Sure enough, at that very moment, willpower surged from all sides. After rippling for a while, as if some agreement had been reached, a Nether River suddenly flowed out from the Nether Realm! Moments later, a primordial being stepped forth from the Nether River. This figure wore a gray crown. His gaze penetrated into the depths of the sea floor, straight toward Old Turtle's dwelling. He was watching, waiting—waiting for Old Turtle to make a move. And yet... nothing happened. Inside Hongmeng Ancient City, Old Turtle seemed fast asleep. He had no intention of intervening whatsoever! Right then, a faint fluctuation appeared near the Nether River of this primordial being. An instant later, a round, chubby God-Devouring Beast emerged. "Yaya, you Nether race guy, you stink way too much!" The Nether Emperor looked indifferently at the little beast and said calmly, "You intend to stop me?" "No, no... I'm eating you!" The little beast opened its mouth wide. Suddenly, the entire world seemed to consist of nothing but that colossal maw, snapping down to swallow the Nether River whole! "Stinky! Give me a few licks and you won't stink anymore!" "Doubao, King Wen is dead. Do you still think these are the old days?" The Nether Emperor's voice was frigid. Surrounded by the Nether River, a scepter manifested in his grasp, and he struck toward Doubao, his tone chilling. "Your race should have gone extinct long ago. Do you truly believe no one can touch you? This is no longer antiquity!" "Ah... wrong one!" The God-Devouring Beast let out a squeak. Right behind the Nether Emperor, an even larger mouth manifested, opening wide as it cried, "Doubao is over here! Stinky guy, you got the wrong one!" The Nether Emperor's expression changed slightly. At that exact moment, a heavy sigh sounded, and an incomparably powerful figure materialized beside them, murmuring softly, "Senior Doubao, why must you do this?" "Jiwu!" Doubao instantly bounced away, staring wide-eyed at the newly arrived powerhouse. "Jiwu, you're stepping in too? The two of you are so formidable! The two of us can't beat you together!" God Emperor Jiwu! The God Emperor sighed. "I did not wish to intervene, yet... I have no reason not to. If Su Yu is not slain, the myriad realms will know no peace. Doubao, you have lived from antiquity until now, through nine tidal changes, yet you never once acted on behalf of the human race. I thought you had forgotten the past and treated antiquity as yesterday's withered blooms. Why have you acted so repeatedly this time?" Both Doubao and his mate had intervened! Yet two ancient emperors had emerged! Both were extraordinarily powerful. The God Emperor was stronger than the Demon Emperor, and the Nether Emperor was by no means weaker than the Demon Emperor. Under such circumstances, formidable though Doubao and his mate were, dealing with one was feasible; dealing with two presented immense difficulty. The big fur ball asked in some confusion, "Did I take action? My hands are still inside, they haven't come out! I only used my mouth!" "..." The God Emperor sighed. "You understand my meaning." Doubao thought for a moment before saying, "Our little guy is on his person! If you beat him to death, you beat our little guy to death!" "Is it still as it was back then? Your race has once again chosen someone to attach yourselves to... Doubao, you attached yourself to King Wen for countless years. In the end, as powerful as King Wen was, he still perished. How does Su Yu compare to King Wen?" Doubao chuckled. "I don't know. Why don't you wait and see?" With those words, its mouth expanded once more. At the same time, it grumbled aggrievedly, "I didn't use my hands just now, but you insisted that I did. Fine, I'll use them now!" Two hands popped out from its round, plump body, swinging toward the God Emperor! The River of Time encircled the God Emperor. He paced through the river to evade, neither pressing an aggressive fight nor halting his steady sighs. "The destruction of the human race brings peace to the myriad realms. Again and again, we have fought for a hundred thousand years; in truth, we are all exhausted! Everyone says Gods and Demons love battle, but that was forced upon us by the humans! You only see how frail humanity is now, but you never saw when humanity was mighty—how they swept across the heavens, slaughtering across all realms..." "Chomp!" Doubao snapped its jaws shut, completely uninterested in listening! Four Dao Integration experts clashed instantly at the edge of the void. Terrifyingly, scenes of the past and future materialized above their clash! They were not merely fighting in the present—their pasts and their futures were locked in combat as well! This was entirely different from the three-life method! Under the fierce battle of the four experts, four Rivers of Time gradually merged into one, becoming a single river upon which thousands of iterations of themselves seemed to do battle! It was as though they were fighting across countless different timeline nodes! Upon the river, a Doubao swallowed a God Emperor in one gulp, and that segment of imagery vanished immediately. Moments later, in reality, the true Doubao swallowed the God Emperor whole, only for the God Emperor to suddenly burst through its belly at a subsequent node... Doubao was so startled it frantically spat, spitting the God Emperor right back out! Such a battle left the countless experts who had not joined the fray utterly awestruck and dumbfounded! *** In the Demon Realm. The Demon Emperor observed the battle, his eyes shifting unpredictably. He did not join the fight, nor did he strike, merely watching the clash of the four Dao Integration experts in silence. All of them were ancient beings! Compared to them, the Demon Emperor was of the later generation. Only upon the demise of the previous Demon Emperor had he inherited the throne, making him relatively young. Yet, for all his relative youth, he had crossed into Dao Integration, proving he was no ordinary figure! Over the last three tidal changes, few had stepped into Dao Integration, and he was one of them! The others were either dead or missing. Among those truly of his generation, practically none were stronger than he! Beside him, a Demon King let out a soft sigh and remarked, "Emperor, what they cultivate is not the path of three lives." The Demon Emperor replied calmly, "I anticipated as much. Most of those old fellows walk other paths. Each approach has its merits and drawbacks; there is no need to dwell on it. While the combat strength of the three lives path is somewhat weaker, it is not without its advantages." The Demon King beside him nodded slightly. "Then Blood Fire..." "He is dead, and so be it. In this era, people will die after all—many will die. It is merely a matter of sooner or later!" The Demon Emperor looked into the distance and said calmly, "Let us return. One of my three lives has fallen, weakening my strength. With Blood Fire dead, our combat power has suffered a heavy blow. I must integrate the Blood Fire Demon race. Therefore... it is entirely reasonable for our race to field no top combatants for now. We shall steer clear of this period's battles!" The Demon King nodded. "What about Moduona?" "Him?" The Demon Emperor cast a glance into the distance, as if seeing Moduona. "His destiny is not as prosperous as Su Yu's, but it is formidable nonetheless. However, he has grown too accustomed to smooth sailing. Now that Blood Fire is dead, dispatch men to capture him! Hound him into the Demon Domain Sea. In the Demon Domain Sea, an old ghost has hated me for ten thousand years, wishing for nothing more than my death. Let Moduona inherit his mantle!" "Your Imperial Majesty is brilliant!" The ancient Demon King beside him bowed slightly, then vanished in silence to apprehend Moduona! The Demon Emperor watched a little longer, his gaze soon shifting to Su Yu. After observing intently for a time, his figure gradually faded above the Demon Realm. *** In the Immortal Realm. Tiangu also glanced toward the Demon Realm, his brows furrowing slightly. Unwilling to act? Was he worried his two remaining bodies might fall victim to an ambush? Or was he simply unwilling to intervene? Tiangu's gaze drifted toward the depths of the Sea of Stars, seeming to behold Hongmeng Ancient City. A moment later, Tiangu's face gradually manifested above the ancient city, looking down upon it as he murmured softly, "Hongmeng, would you drag the sacred cities into the quagmire of war for Su Yu's sake? You have always favored them. I know that a hundred thousand years ago, during Hetu's affair, you contributed greatly. Yet, might Su Yu not become the next Hetu?" Within Hongmeng Ancient City, Old Turtle's silhouette manifested, looking toward Tiangu as he replied indifferently, "I only obey the rules. Within the rules, I care; outside the rules, I do not! Now that antiquity has fallen, I fall under the direct jurisdiction of King Gong. Aside from King Gong, only the Human Emperor may command me. Tiangu, you... have no authority over me!" Tiangu looked at him. "If I kill Su Yu, will you intervene?" "If you kill Su Yu... the rules will care!" Tiangu's eyes turned cold. "Is he the successor of the Time Master?" "I do not know." "Hongmeng, you are making an enemy of the heavens!" "Wrong. I am obeying the rules. Since they are the rules, they are the heavens. I am conforming to the heavens, whereas all of you... are defying heaven!" Hongmeng's voice resonated through heaven and earth. "Tiangu, you are the rebels, the ones defying heaven! We guardians of the sacred cities are walking in accordance with heaven!" Tiangu fell silent. Who was defying heaven? Perhaps... Old Turtle was right. It was the myriad races who were acting against heaven. The human race's unification of the heavens had been the reality of antiquity; humanity was the orthodoxy. To exterminate humanity now, to slaughter human geniuses, was indeed defying heaven. After a moment of silence, Tiangu said, "Then I am resolved to defy this heaven! Hongmeng, you are not human either. Why remain so obstinate? Do you truly wish for your race to remain under human dominion and suppression?" "I only follow heaven!" There was no common ground! In an instant, Tiangu vanished. Since communication was impossible, there was no point in talking! He was in no hurry to strike in person now. If he did, Old Turtle would certainly act, rendering it pointless. In that case... add more men! The myriad races lacked Dao Integration experts, but they possessed plenty of Invincibles! At this moment, Tiangu's phantom traversed the myriad realms. Soon, it appeared outside a small realm, his voice callous: "Where is the Shadow King?" Moments later, a shadow-like Invincible manifested above the realm, bowing slightly. "Greetings, Immortal Emperor Tiangu!" "Join the battle!" The Shadow King fell silent for a moment. "If I fall in battle..." "The Shadow Realm shall receive the protection of the Immortal race!" Tiangu said indifferently. "Until the Shadow Realm produces another king!" The Shadow King sighed inwardly and looked back at the Shadow Realm with bitter sorrow. This was the fate of minor races! They could not resist! After all, this world was not theirs; it belonged to the Gods, Immortals, Demons, Dragons, and Humans, not to small races. "I obey!" Tinged with bitterness, the Shadow King turned into a phantom and vanished instantly. Below, within the realm, a swarm of Shadow race Sun Moons took to the air, gazing after their departing king with eyes filled with dread. Would he ever return from this departure? Meanwhile, Tiangu's phantom divided into myriad copies, manifesting above one minor realm after another. One after another, the Invincibles of the minor races flew toward the battlefields of the heavens with profound helplessness. To war! The Immortals, Demons, Gods, Dragons, and Nether stood united. Refusing to participate meant defying these great races. Even if small realms were difficult to breach, they could not withstand the wrath of the superpowers. Tiangu hovered in the air, watching silently. He knew that after this, the kings of these minor races might harbor disloyalty, but at present, they dared not show it. Right now, the myriad races stood together while the human race stood alone, and humanity lacked the strength to resist the united races! As for the myriad races... only the strong truly counted as the myriad races; the weak were mere vassals! One Invincible after another was coerced into the fray. At least before the great races declined, these small races would not dare rebel. That was enough! Once this tidal change concluded, who knew how many would survive? Who would care about such things then! *** *Boom!* Four Invincibles besieged Su Yu at blistering speed, surrounding him across both past and future. By now, Su Yu was beginning to feel stretched thin. He wondered: should he... open a dead spirit channel? Just as the thought crossed his mind, his gaze suddenly shifted, and he cried out in shock, "Lord Hongmeng?" One Invincible whipped his head around to look—*fuck!* Not a ghostly shadow in sight! "Courting death!" Enraged, he roared, but Su Yu seized the opening to whip out a kick, rattling the opponent's River of Time. In the next breath, his Heaven Gate flared wide open. Su Yu bellowed, unleashing an earth-shattering punch. *Boom!* The blow carried boundless fury, tearing through heaven and earth. With a massive crash, the punch blew one of the Invincible's three lives to pieces! Meanwhile, death qi billowed violently around Su Yu! The other three Invincibles struck his physical body in succession, yet Su Yu's defensive resilience surpassed all imagination! The three Invincibles merely knocked him flying a thousand meters, coughing up blood, while Su Yu had utterly pulverized one life embodiment of an Invincible! Surrounded by four Invincibles, he had actually obliterated one of their three lives! "What terrifying physical toughness!" The Invincibles were appalled. This body was truly too formidable! Soon, the three Invincibles hemmed him in again. Before long, the fourth Invincible—the one whose present life had just been blown apart—flew back with a frigid expression. Rather than approaching the inner ring, however, he hovered on the periphery, his teeth clenched. "Su Yu, how long can you hold out?" They had already sensed disturbances in the distance! Reinforcements were coming! And likely in large numbers! To kill a single Su Yu today, they had truly mobilized an immense force. Of course, the major races had not dared empty their home realms—that would be suicidal. One must not forget that a substantial number of human Invincibles remained stationed at the Eastern Rift Valley! The reason Tiangu had sought Invincibles from other races was precisely to guard against the humans. At this moment, King Dazhou was leading dozens of Invincibles, massing troops along the Human-Immortal border. If the Immortals mobilized en masse, the human Invincibles might charge into the Immortal Realm and breach it! Neither the Gods nor the Demons dared deploy their full might either; no race dared empty their home territories. Humanity had deployed troops on multiple fronts, and while few Invincibles had entered the open fray, the remaining ones served as a powerful deterrent, preventing the realms from committing too many experts! *** At the Eastern Rift Valley. King Dazhou still maintained the appearance of King Daqin; even though the real King Daqin had revealed himself, he remained disguised. Leading numerous Invincibles, he pressed close to the Human-Immortal border, exerting pressure on the Immortal Realm. Beside him, an Invincible said softly, "The Immortals have dispatched dozens of Eternals and lost quite a few. Right now... how many Eternals do you think remain inside the Immortal Realm?" King Dazhou cut him off bluntly: "Our orders are only to deter! Unless Tiangu leaves—and even if Tiangu leaves, it is not enough. Only if another twenty Immortal Kings leave will we charge in... Otherwise, we merely deter!" At these words, several human Invincibles turned pale. The Immortals had dispatched nearly twenty Immortal Kings this time and lost a whole bunch. All told, the Immortal Realm was down by at least thirty Immortal Kings. Yet King Dazhou's stance was that both Tiangu and twenty more Immortal Kings had to leave before humanity dared push in! Did that not imply... the Immortal Realm held upwards of a hundred Invincibles? The human Invincibles were shaken. Were there really that many? Back when King Daqin had led a force into the Immortal Realm, not many had accompanied him. What exactly had he seen in there? King Dazhou remained silent. After a moment, he said in a heavy voice, "Enough. Do as I said. Our objective is deterrence! To deter all sides so they dare not commit too many Eternals!" From the rear, an Invincible said gravely, "Then right now... regarding Su Yu's side..." King Dazhou looked at him. "What are you trying to say?" The Invincible frowned slightly. "What I mean is, the situation on Su Yu's end is murky. Do you think we could send our people over to find an opportunity..." "What opportunity?" King Dazhou stared at him. The man hesitated, then said, "To persuade Su Yu to bestow the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus upon you, allowing you to achieve Dao Integration!" King Dazhou looked at him coldly. "Do you think that is possible?" The Invincible fell silent, then said, "I harbor no ill intentions. I only think that having one more Dao Integration expert would bolster human strength if a total war breaks out, and provide Su Yu with greater backing. He probably has no use for it right now anyway." King Dazhou's brows knitted tight. "Enough! Do you think Su Yu would give it? Even if he did, how long does Dao Integration take?" "Then..." "Drop this matter!" King Dazhou said flatly. "Some things are better left unmentioned, unsaid, and unthought!" The crowd fell silent; no one spoke further. All waited in silence! *** *Boom!* *Pfft!* Su Yu spat a mouthful of blood, baring his teeth in a grin. "Impressive, truly impressive. Invincibles certainly live up to their name—ruthless enough! Out of a hundred punches, I barely land five. You guys are truly something!" The four Invincibles remained cold, but their hearts were shaken. Su Yu's defense was simply absurd! Throughout the battle, the four of them had struck Su Yu repeatedly, while Su Yu had rarely hit them. Yet every time he landed a blow, it delivered a massive shock to them! Su Yu could not keep his Heaven Gate continuously open either. He opened it intermittently, but whenever he landed a strike with the Heaven Gate open... an embodiment was shattered! By now, two of the four Invincibles had lost one of their three lives to him, and the bodies of the remaining two were battered and torn. It defied all reason! This guy was absurdly strong! At this moment, the four Invincibles stopped pressing aggressive assaults, instead circling Su Yu to pin and delay him, waiting for reinforcements to arrive and overwhelm him! Right then, a thunderous boom erupted! Dark clouds swallowed heaven and earth! Across the boundless void, countless experts looked in that direction, only to see King Daqin sweep forward with a saber strike that transformed into a spear. The spear roared, blasting an Invincible into fine dust with a single strike! An Invincible had fallen! King Daqin could no longer conceal his identity, nor did he bother to, reverting to his true form. Around him, crowds gasped in shock. King Daqin! Having slain the foe with a single spear thrust, King Daqin let out a slight breath. The Guiyuan Saber truly lived up to its reputation! King Daxia had barely held off the Six-Wing God King, buying him the opening to execute a fifth-stage Eternal on the spot with a single spear strike! Across from King Daqin, several Invincibles stumbled back, sheer horror in their eyes. The fifth! Today, a fifth Invincible had been slain! *** "Incredible!" Su Yu laughed, then turned back to the four Invincibles, his eyes suddenly widening. "Holy crap, what are you doing here?" The four Invincibles could not even be bothered to glance back! Su Yu had pulled this trick several times already. The first three times, they had taken the bait; after that... to hell with him! If a true powerhouse arrived, they would have sensed it. Trying this stunt again! Yet at that very instant, a light chuckle sounded from behind them: "You always make such a fuss, treating even matters of life and death like child's play..." *Pfft!* Tranquil and effortless, a sword pierced cleanly through an Immortal King—the very one whose first life Su Yu had shattered earlier. In an instant, his second life disintegrated. The moment his third life materialized, Wan Tiansheng brought a palm crashing down, closing his great hand. With a crisp *snap*, all three lives shattered! *Boom!* Dark clouds surged anew, and blood rain drifted down. Wan Tiansheng walked along the River of Time, looking toward Su Yu with a soft smile and a shake of his head. "Your brute force is impressive enough. What a pity... a fine seed for the path of rules like you, yet you ended up a brawler." He killed an Invincible as effortlessly as crushing an ant! Su Yu chuckled heartily. "Governor, impressive! Where were you hiding to nurse your injuries?" "Fortunately, the panacea you had Lan Tian bring back was quite effective. My injuries are mostly healed..." Wan Tiansheng offered a brief explanation. He had gone to heal his wounds; otherwise, he would have appeared much earlier. Yet his entrance was legendary. He had slain an Invincible in an instant! Granted, that Invincible had already been wounded and stripped of one life, but his silent, undetectable arrival still struck terror into the remaining three Invincibles! Wan Tiansheng smiled. "Let us finish them. You excel at brute force, and I shall tear their Rivers of Time apart. It is rare for the two of us to join hands in slaughter; I originally thought it would be much further down the road!" Indeed, his strength lay in the rules! At this moment, an extraordinarily massive River of Time manifested, instantly wrapping around the Rivers of Time of the three Invincibles and drawing them together. With a low shout, Wan Tiansheng slashed out with the longsword formed from the Xiuxin Pavilion! With this strike, heaven and earth lost their color! Su Yu had known long ago that Wan Tiansheng's power of rules was formidable. Early on, the man had ferried him through space-time to meet Xinghong—a truly terrifying powerhouse. However, his explosive burst power was not exceptionally high. At most, it reached the fourth or fifth stage of Eternal! In a true battle of life and death, he might not be able to take down a mid-stage Invincible alone. Yet right now, he didn't need to. He only needed to sever the temporal power of these Invincibles! Su Yu's eyes lit up brilliantly! *Holy shit!* *The Governor is amazing!* *If this works, I won't need to open the dead spirit channel at all!* As Wan Tiansheng slashed toward the River of Time, single-handedly restraining the rivers of all three opponents, Su Yu threw open his Heaven Gate. Suddenly, a book materialized between heaven and earth, sealing off the surrounding void. Don't even think about running! I'm going to smash all of you to pieces! Stripped of their Rivers of Time, what were a few mid-stage Eternals to him? Su Yu went all out, absorbing massive amounts of death qi. His spatial divine character erupted, flashing him instantly before one of them. Accustomed to shifting through the River of Time, that Invincible found himself restrained by Wan Tiansheng. Caught unprepared, he barely managed an awkward sidestep... Yet Su Yu's fist was already crashing in without holding back an ounce of power! *Boom!* Flesh and bone flew in every direction as the body blew apart! Over on the other side, Wan Tiansheng gently stirred the River of Time, instantly accelerating the slain Invincible's restoration of another life. But Su Yu threw another punch, blasting the freshly reformed body apart once more! "No..." A shrill, agonizing scream pierced the heavens. *Rumble!* Dark clouds surged anew. Not only that, golden clouds descended across heaven and earth. By slaying several Invincibles in succession, Su Yu had accumulated enough merits to trigger heaven and earth rewards once more. This time, Su Yu's civilization chronicle trembled, drawing clouds and shattered flesh alike into its pages! He had no time to absorb anything now! There were still two Invincibles left! Teaming up with the Governor felt fantastic! Wan Tiansheng wore a smile as well. At this moment, both appeared equally refined, their white robes billowing as smiles graced their faces! Su Yu's explosive power was peerless, while Wan Tiansheng controlled the enemy's River of Time! This was an absolute lethal combination! "Governor, pin him down again—watch me kill him!" Su Yu pointed at one of them. That person's face warped in horror. Suddenly, with a desperate roar, he self-detonated his physical body, sacrificing one life and burning his blood essence to tear through the void, vanishing instantly! He fled! Yes, he fled! By this point, the Invincible was terrified. Against Su Yu alone, Su Yu could barely hit him, so he had little to fear. Against Wan Tiansheng alone, he had little fear either, since controlling the River of Time left Wan Tiansheng no time for anything else. But facing the two together... it was simply impossible to fight! The other Demon King wanted to flee as well, attempting to shatter his own body, but Wan Tiansheng's sword shattered his flesh first. At the same time, Su Yu's fist crashed in, his voice roaring, "Run, my ass!" Were the four Invincibles really this pathetic? Only two had died! One ran, but weren't you still here? What are you running for! Fight! *Boom!* A single punch obliterated the foe's physical form. Wan Tiansheng stirred the River of Time again to accelerate his resurrection. The moment the Demon King revived, Su Yu was already waiting with a raised fist, smashing it down! *Rumble!* That punch completely obliterated him, thoroughly eradicating the Demon King! In the blink of an eye—truly in the blink of an eye! From the moment Wan Tiansheng arrived, less than five seconds had passed. Of the four Invincibles, three had been smashed to pieces by Su Yu, and one had detonated a life to flee into the depths of the void. Now, countless experts from all directions turned their gazes toward them. Every face wore a look of profound shock! Wan Tiansheng, Su Yu! The two of them... joined together, their strength was terrifyingly formidable! Four Invincibles had died at the very start; King Daqin had killed one; now Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng had killed three more. Today, Invincibles were falling like rain. In the blink of an eye, eight Invincibles had been slain! By now, several Invincibles from the myriad races had gradually arrived. On the outer perimeter, seven or eight had gathered, soon swelling to over a dozen. These Invincibles wore grim expressions. They had only just arrived! Yet in the blink of an eye, Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng had slaughtered three Invincibles! Were they afraid? No one wasn't! In the distance, someone sighed, "Wan Tiansheng controls time, and Su Yu severs the flesh... In my view, unless you are an eighth or ninth-stage Eternal, don't bother going to your death!" Indeed, going to their death! Neither of the two had reached the Invincible realm. Yet an ancient being was declaring that anyone below the eighth or ninth stage of Eternal was merely courting death! Their coordination complemented each other too perfectly! Su Yu's explosive burst rivaled a high-stage Eternal, while Wan Tiansheng's mastery of the rules also matched a high-stage Eternal. Fighting side by side, anyone below high stage could barely last a few breaths! Meanwhile, Su Yu paid no mind to the Invincibles on the periphery. Instead, he looked at Wan Tiansheng, inhaling sharply. "Governor, your River of Time seems even thicker and wider now. How did you do it? Teach me!" With a great battle before them, he showed little worry, carefree as always! Wan Tiansheng smiled. "What's the rush? It isn't something learned overnight. As your Governor, if I didn't have a few tricks up my sleeve, I'd be too embarrassed to show my face!" Su Yu grinned from ear to ear! Old Wan was truly formidable! Without him, even if Su Yu could have killed those three Invincibles... it probably would have taken a very long time, and he would have had to guard against a sudden reversal. With Wan Tiansheng here, fighting felt exhilarating! Swinging at empty air felt awful! Now, it felt sublime! Old Wan disrupted the rules, and Su Yu delivered the finishing blows, thrashing Invincibles like errant grandsons! *** This dramatic turn of events drew even more eyes upon them. In the Immortal Realm. Tiangu's expression turned rather unsightly. The combination of Wan Tiansheng and Su Yu was something he had completely failed to anticipate. As a result, in that brief span—right as the other Invincibles arrived—three of the four Invincibles had died, and one was crippled! He turned his head toward the depths of the Immortal Realm, his brow slightly furrowing. Many Immortal Kings had already gone out. If more left... He glanced into the distance toward the Eastern Rift Valley, where humanity was exerting immense pressure. The moment a large number of Immortal Kings departed again, the humans would inevitably assault the Immortal Realm! If their home realm fell, then even if they killed Su Yu, it would not undo the loss! Suppressing the irritation in his heart, Tiangu turned his gaze toward the Hunting Heaven Pavilion! *You should have seen it and felt it by now.* *If Su Yu isn't killed, you will need to watch your back as well!* *** Inside the Hunting Heaven Pavilion. Marquis Jiantian closed his eyes in deep contemplation. He seemed to see King Wen—not just in Su Yu, but in Wan Tiansheng as well... These people shared a certain resemblance. He felt as though he were watching King Wen reborn! He seemed to see King Wen smiling at him, a smile that sent an icy shiver down his spine. After closing his eyes for a moment, Marquis Jiantian opened them. "Go, slay Su Yu!" At these words, strange looks crossed the faces of the Invincibles below. Were they truly going to strike? Was the Hunting Heaven Pavilion... truly going to enter the arena?
