Toyed to Pieces

Rumbles shook the void. Su Yu assimilated every last page into his heaven and earth. Naturally, being a decent man, he left something behind for the Time Master. “The Cookbook!” Indeed, Su Yu left the book cover for the Time Master. As an upright person, he would never devour absolutely everything. If he met the Time Master in the future and she asked, "Where is my cookbook?" Su Yu would naturally present the "Cookbook" to her. “Time Master... or Devour-It-All Master?” Su Yu suddenly paused. "Time Master" sounded grand and profound, a title he had first heard from Xingyue. But back then, the Time Master could not have been excessively strong. Would she really have called herself the Time Master? Was he sure it wasn't the "Devour-It-All Master"? Eating everything clean, gobbling up the entire world! For a moment, Su Yu was bewildered. Was it the Time Master or the Devour-It-All Master? If the latter... it certainly fit the title of this cookbook! Bewildered as he was, who cared! Su Yu put the thought aside. Whatever she was called, it didn't matter now. If he truly met the Time Master in the future, he could always ask... A moment later, Su Yu waved his hand, and the barrier around Marquis Jiantian vanished. Su Yu's Human Lord Seal and heaven and earth seemed completely unchanged, just as they were before. Su Yu himself also appeared no different. Ever since opening his heaven and earth, he had possessed the strength to trade blows with the Chaos Dragon. To this day, he seemed to have remained at that level of power—at least in the eyes of outsiders. Su Yu was formidable! However, his strength seemed limited; he had not reached the level of a Ruler of Rules. At most, he could match a fifth-tier ancient physical Human King. That was the consensus among onlookers. Of course, those in his inner circle had previously learned from Su Yu that out in the open, he stood a chance against weak Rulers of Rules like the God Consort. Even that alone was already astonishing. At this moment, Marquis Jiantian's aura surged as well. In this very instant, he fully attained the level of a Celestial Venerable! Moreover, he seemed to be far from weak even among Celestial Venerables. The Dao of Karmic Luck was truly extraordinary. If it willed you ill fortune, ill fortune would befall you! Against opponents of the same rank, the Dao of Karmic Luck was profoundly mysterious, something ordinary people could hardly withstand. This was especially true against those whose karmic luck was waning—like the Sin race, whose human karmic luck had been stripped away by Su Yu. If Marquis Jiantian faced them, he would counter them effortlessly. At that point, Marquis Jiantian opened his eyes and looked at Su Yu with a complex expression. Su Yu had grown stronger! Others could see nothing, not even karmic luck. Even the Destiny race could only perceive the bare surface. But to Marquis Jiantian, what he saw at this moment was a majestic dragon of karmic luck! Su Yu's karmic fortune was truly soaring like a brilliant rainbow! Where outsiders saw nothing, Marquis Jiantian saw a colossal dragon coiled deep within Su Yu—vast beyond measure, yet revealing not a single wisp to the world. This was Su Yu! The current generation's Human Lord, possibly the final Human Lord of antiquity, or more likely, the new Sovereign of a new era! "Not bad!" Su Yu smiled. "It seems you've been freeloading off me." "..." Marquis Jiantian remained silent. Su Yu said calmly, "People who take advantage of me rarely end up well." Marquis Jiantian said nothing. *I embody the karmic luck of antiquity. If you don't want me taking advantage of you, then sever yourself completely from antiquity, or just kill me. What else can you do? I'm entirely passive; I didn't seek this out.* Su Yu narrowed his eyes and chuckled. "Tell me, what if I kill you right now to help a few people advance to Ruler of Rules?" Marquis Jiantian looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I don't think you will kill me now." "So confident?" Marquis Jiantian said gravely, "Killing me now offers you little benefit; instead, it might make others stronger! Even if you do kill me, you will wait until the benefits to others are far smaller than your own before making a move!" "Fair point!" Su Yu smiled and nodded. "You're not stupid. Still, you're not that smart either. If you were truly wise, you wouldn't have opposed me in the first place." Marquis Jiantian stayed silent, saying nothing. Opposing Su Yu... in truth, had only been due to lingering resentment. When Su Yu inherited the Brush Dao and sought to seize his Paper Dao, he had naturally been unwilling to yield. Now, however, he understood everything. It was impossible for him to master the Paper Dao. Not just him—even King Wen had not mastered it. He had held the Heaven Hunting Ranking for countless years and had never been able to master it, because that Dao required one to open it oneself rather than inheriting an existing Dao! As Marquis Jiantian remained silent, Su Yu paid it no mind and chuckled. "You represent the karmic luck of antiquity, while I govern my own karmic luck. Tell me, for Hundred Battles' faction, does the karmic luck lie with Hundred Battles or with Zhou Ji?" Marquis Jiantian paused briefly before answering, "Perhaps not with Hundred Battles. When I saw him last time, his luck... did not appear very good. During the ninth tide, he was triumphant in everything he did, right up until the very end, when misfortune struck." Su Yu started slightly and nodded. "That seems true! In other words, after his son was born, he might have stripped away the karmic luck belonging to the human race and merged it into his son's body? So his son is the true Child of Destiny?" At this, Su Yu suddenly laughed. "Destiny... Marquis Tianming certainly has an impressive name. Anyone could end up being his son!" Marquis Jiantian had no interest in this dry joke. Even so, he replied, "The name of Marquis Tianming is indeed weighty. That he has survived to this day indicates that the Destiny race's karmic fortune is also flourishing!" Su Yu evaluated strength, whereas Marquis Jiantian primarily judged karmic luck. Su Yu smiled and looked at him once more. "Stay here obediently. I'm going out for a stroll. Don't think about running. If you don't run, I won't necessarily kill you. But if you run, I will kill you without question—and even if I don't, Hundred Battles might!" Marquis Jiantian closed his eyes and fell silent. He would never trust Su Yu's words. This man was utterly shameless. So young, yet as cunning as an ancient fox! Soon, Su Yu vanished into thin air. …… Su Yu still had things to take care of. Taking advantage of the three-month deadline, he needed to eliminate several external threats and clear out unfavorable variables. For instance, the Eight-Winged Tiger and the Chaos Dragon. Those two were definitely hiding somewhere in the chaos. And they wouldn't be hiding too deep. If he could locate them in the chaos, it would be best to kill them, or simply track down Zhou Ji and eliminate him as well. Zhou Ji likely carried the karmic fortune of Hundred Battles' faction. Wiping him out might bring catastrophic misfortune upon their faction—to the point where swallowing a mouthful of water could choke them to death! Hundred Battles wanted to stall, and Su Yu would allow him to stall. Three months was the limit! Before then, Hundred Battles might make a move, and Su Yu would certainly not sit idle. While the myriad races dared not advance and the Sin race was likely trying to summon powerhouses out, Su Yu would settle a few disturbances. …… Locating people in the chaos was by no means easy. Especially with old hands like the Eight-Winged Tiger and the Chaos Dragon. The Eight-Winged Tiger was exceptionally shrewd and would have guessed that someone was out to get them, so they were bound to hide thoroughly. Even so, Su Yu had his ways. At that moment, a little white fur ball popped out from atop Su Yu's head. Ever since Su Yu had tucked it away last time, the little fur ball had been sleeping soundly inside the Heavenly Gate. Whenever it woke, it would lick the Heavenly Gate projection a few times. Nowadays, it no longer licked Divine Characters—nor were there any left to lick, as Su Yu had assimilated all of them into his heaven and earth. The little fur ball twitched its nose, opened its eyes, and saw an expanse of nothingness. Curiously, it asked, "Yummy, where are we?" "The chaos!" "Oh!" *Why call me out?* The little fur ball looked around. It wasn't fun at all, just pitch-black emptiness—far worse than sleeping. Su Yu smiled. "Time to work! Back to your old trade! Sniff around and see if you can locate the Chaos Dragon and the Eight-Winged Tiger!" Su Yu chuckled and added, "I've roughly figured out your Great Dao by now. You are extraordinarily sensitive to energy signatures and rule fluctuations. You fake, your Dao isn't a Devouring Dao at all—it's a scouting and tracking Dao." The little fur ball gave him a strange look and bounced on his head. "Didn't I tell you? I've known that for ages! Back when that big fat dog forced me to study books every day, I already figured it out!" "..." Su Yu was speechless. *Is that so?* He had never paid attention to it. The little fur ball had indeed reached Eternity, but when Su Yu checked before, it seemed somewhat forcefully elevated. So this little fellow had known all along? The little fur ball continued, "Back then, I knew I was good at tracking... mainly because I could smell so many delicious scents! Then that Book Spirit said it was probably an investigative Dao." Su Yu chuckled. "You're not as dumb as you look!" "Of course!" The little fur ball beamed smugly. *You're the dumb one.* Su Yu smiled. "Alright, as long as you know. Go ahead and sniff for the scent of soy sauce." "Huh?" "The Eight-Winged Tiger drank quite a bit of soy sauce. Don't sniff for him directly, and don't probe him, or he'll notice easily. Just track the smell of soy sauce, and I might just find him!" Su Yu grinned. Indeed, loving soy sauce was not necessarily a good thing. The little fur ball was too weak; probing the Eight-Winged Tiger directly would get it discovered in an instant. However, if it merely tracked the scent of soy sauce, which had nothing to do with the Eight-Winged Tiger himself, it became remarkably easy. The little fur ball twitched its tiny nose and bobbed its body. "Okay! Yummy, tell me, when will I be as strong as Fat Ball?" It still carried some anticipation. Unfortunately, it was still very weak. Even after licking the Heavenly Gate day in and day out, it remained only at Eternity, not even having merged with the Dao. As Su Yu grew stronger, the gap between them grew wider and wider. Su Yu laughed. "What's the rush? Right now, I'm not short of a Celestial Venerable or two. Being too strong isn't necessarily a good thing. If you're too strong, everyone takes note of your existence. Look how great you have it now—people paid attention to you in the beginning, but hardly anyone remembers you anymore!" Su Yu smiled. "If this continues, after a while, you will be completely forgotten!" "Once everyone forgets you... I'll need to leave a way out for myself as well." Su Yu chuckled softly. "My father, my teachers—they are all very weak. I haven't forced their cultivation higher; letting nature take its course is fine! Once I find a place to build a true stronghold of my own, you can look after the house for me... You should learn from Fat Ball. King Wen and the others have been gone for over a hundred thousand years, yet it still watered the flowers every single day..." The little fur ball said dejectedly, "But I only like sleeping. I don't want to water flowers every day." *Too exhausting!* Su Yu was exasperated. "I'm not telling you to water flowers, I'm telling you to watch the house, understand?" "Oh!" "By then, nobody will remember you. If something happens to me one day and you manage to guard our home well, perhaps after countless eons, when I return, I'll still have a place to stay!" Su Yu said softly, "First the Human Sovereign, then the Rulers of Rules of the myriad realms, then the Human Ancestor, then the Time Master... This era is far too convoluted!" Su Yu murmured, "Tell me, why was the era sealed? Who sealed it? Where did the gates come from? Who forged them? Why is everyone obsessed with returning to the myriad realms?" "Are the myriad realms really that wonderful?" "Or would those fellows die if they left the myriad realms?" Right now, this was the core mystery! Why did they insist on returning to the myriad realms? What was behind the gates, truly? If it was also chaotic space, they could simply open another world. Failing that, they could live in the chaos. Ancient beasts of the chaos, after all, preferred the chaos over the myriad realms. Why force their way back? That was the strangest part! The myriad realms were merely a single world within the vast chaos. If you had the ability, you could find a place and open a heaven of your own without ever needing to come to the myriad realms! This chain of secrets was beyond Su Yu's ability to unravel clearly. Because it was indeed still too far removed from him. At present, he was still far from that realm. With the little fur ball, Su Yu spoke a bit more freely. Ever since his early days at the academy, he had carried the little fur ball across the realm—taking it to Great Ming Prefecture, to the Battlefield of the Heavens, to the ancient cities, to the Star Residence Mansion, to the dead spirit realm... From the Character Cultivation Realm until now, the little fur ball had accompanied him all along. It was just that now, the little fellow had no Divine Characters to lick and had lost some of its joy. It could just be a companion! It didn't need to be remarkably powerful, just like Fat Ball was to King Wen and the others—it was quite weak, but they never needed Fat Ball to be mighty. Most of the people close to Su Yu were not exceptionally strong. Yet Su Yu had not even allowed them to merge into his Dao. Having them integrate into his heaven and earth was meaningless; if he died, all the Great Daos within his world would shatter. The little fur ball listened quietly without interrupting. These matters were beyond Su Yu's comprehension, so naturally, they were beyond its own. It only remembered Su Yu saying that when he had time, he would build a home and have it look after the place. Keeping this in mind, the little fur ball suddenly asked, "Yummy, when you build a home, can you make a huge Divine Character? One that's sweet and fragrant, so big I could never finish licking it in my whole life?" Su Yu paused, then burst out laughing. "So you plan on licking a Divine Character while watching the house?" "Can't I?" "Of course you can!" Su Yu chuckled. "That's a trivial matter!" The little fur ball's eyes curved with delight! That was great, wonderful—even better than Fat Ball, who had no Divine Characters to lick. Having attained its modest ambition, it began to sniff out scents. A faint strand of rule power drifted forth—weak, yet highly specialized for tracking. In the early days, the little fur ball had used this trick to track many enemies for Su Yu, helping him through several crises. Soon, its nose twitched. "A little to the left... there seems to be a faint smell, not very clear..." Following its directions, Su Yu flew forward swiftly. …… At the same time. Inside a floating, crumbling mountain within the chaos. At the mountain's base, two miniaturized beasts lay hidden. The Eight-Winged Tiger suddenly peered around. Though he sensed nothing, he felt uneasy and quickly said, "Bobtail, let's move! We're packing up!" "Move again?" The Chaos Dragon grumbled. "We've moved several times already!" "Quit whining! The myriad realms are getting increasingly perilous, and the chaos isn't safe anymore either. That Martial Emperor came in, Su Yu might come, Hundred Battles is out, and Hundred Battles' son... In short, we have to be careful!" The chaos was no longer as secure as before. Previously, the chaotic depths were forbidden ground to many. Now, with the Martial Emperor stepping in, safety was gone. The Chaos Dragon was speechless. "Who on earth are we guarding against?" "They're fighting to the death in the myriad realms—would they care about us?" *Isn't the Eight-Winged Tiger being overly cautious? We've lived in the chaos for countless ages. Who would come looking for trouble with us now?* They had been exceedingly unlucky this time! Not only had they failed to consume the chaotic will on Yu Qing, but the Eight-Winged Tiger had also dragged him from one hiding spot to another. The Chaos Dragon was growing impatient. "Guarding against whom?" The Eight-Winged Tiger considered for a moment. "Guarding against everyone! The situation in the myriad realms is far more complicated and difficult than we imagined, with even more powerhouses! I originally thought only Yu Qing would be troublesome... Consuming Yu Qing would be enough! We had a shot at it too; if Su Yu hadn't kept making trouble, we might have succeeded!" What a pity! Now, the situation had shifted entirely. The Chaos Dragon said gloomily, "There's no need to be this terrified, is there? To say nothing of others, take Su Yu—if he truly comes alone without dragging his heaven and earth along, the two of us can eat him without a problem!" The tailless dragon had fought Su Yu before. When Su Yu opened his heaven and earth last time, his strength had been far inferior. The dragon had lost his tail only because Su Yu self-detonated, forcing him to sever his own tail to escape the Heavenly Gate. Otherwise, Su Yu would have been no match for him. Not much time had passed since Su Yu opened his heaven; even if he had improved, he would at most be on par with him. With the Eight-Winged Tiger assisting, beating Su Yu would be a certainty! The Chaos Dragon added, "Besides, we can't keep hiding forever, can we?" Since they had ventured out, their goal was to advance, not hide pointlessly. That was meaningless. Their target this time was Yu Qing; consuming the chaotic will from her offered both of them a chance to break through. And this didn't conflict with Su Yu, did it? Nor did it conflict with Hundred Battles. The Chaos Dragon felt the Eight-Winged Tiger had no reason to worry so much. The Eight-Winged Tiger couldn't be bothered to explain. *What do you know?* *Whether we can advance depends on whether others permit it. If we become Rulers of Rules, would Su Yu and the others allow us to roam free?* *That's obviously impossible!* *These days, life is hard.* The Eight-Winged Tiger sighed inward. *Forget it, this Chaos Dragon lacks intellect; explaining won't help. Normal, just get used to it. Beside every sage stands a fool! Without fools around, how can a sage's wisdom shine?* Thus, the Eight-Winged Tiger was accustomed to it. This dynamic was even recorded in the books of various races. "Stop blabbering, let's move!" "Fine!" Even though the Chaos Dragon was stronger, the Eight-Winged Tiger possessed some wit, so he decided to follow along for now. The two colossal beasts shrank their bodies, hoisted the shattered, giant mountain, and resumed shifting their position. The mountain was no precious treasure, but it helped conceal their presence. After traveling for a while, the Eight-Winged Tiger still felt uneasy. "Keep moving!" "..." The Chaos Dragon nearly wanted to swat him to death. *We've already relocated so far, and you want to move again? Why don't you just relocate past the reach of the myriad realms altogether?* "Move!" "I can't move anymore!" The Eight-Winged Tiger was speechless. *To hell with you! You stupid dragon!* *Just as dimwitted as the dragons in the myriad realms. Rumor has it the myriad realms' dragon race descended from the Chaos Dragon's lineage. No wonder they're family—all fools!* Still, they had moved quite a distance. The Eight-Winged Tiger had no choice but to halt. Producing a cup of soy sauce, he said, "Fine, let's take a break and have some soy sauce tea!" *A fine delicacy—sharing some with you proves my generosity.* The Chaos Dragon wasn't particularly keen on it, but he didn't mind trying something novel. Reaching out a claw, the dragon and tiger carefully sipped a tiny bit. The Eight-Winged Tiger wore a look of pure bliss, while the Chaos Dragon was indifferent; yet seeing the tiger's expression, the dragon also mimicked a look of enjoyment, lest the tiger think he looked down on him. Mid-sip, the Eight-Winged Tiger's expression abruptly shifted. His whiskers bristled! His tail shot straight up! His wings snapped erect in an instant! The Chaos Dragon's face also changed, though it soon relaxed. "Seems to be Su Yu..." Yet the Eight-Winged Tiger bolted frantically! *Nonsense, I know that! But it's Su Yu—that's what makes it abnormal!* *Danger!* "Seems to be right here..." A youthful voice rang out, followed by Su Yu's laughter. "I know, I feel them!" "Senior friends, why run the moment you see me?" Su Yu's laughter reverberated around them. The shockwaves of his voice set the chaotic power boiling. The Eight-Winged Tiger and Chaos Dragon immediately realized something was amiss—things looked... rather perilous! "Friends, why flee upon seeing a frail cultivator like me?" "Didn't we cooperate quite pleasantly before?" Su Yu's laughter echoed once more! At this moment, both the Eight-Winged Tiger and Chaos Dragon realized something was wrong. Su Yu... seemed to have grown stronger. Trouble! The Eight-Winged Tiger continued fleeing, flapping his wings at extreme speed, not even sparing a glance for the Chaos Dragon. Su Yu coming here felt like a terrible omen, bringing an intense sense of danger. Su Yu remained nowhere in sight, yet his laughter persisted. "Truly, stop running. Aren't you tired?" Around the Eight-Winged Tiger, the chaotic power suddenly parted. The tiger's expression darkened again! Su Yu's mastery over chaotic power had reached an even higher level. "I decree: this chaos shall have a sky!" Instantly, a sky materialized, complete with azure blue and white clouds! Words commanding reality! The Eight-Winged Tiger and Chaos Dragon both paled again, continuing their escape, yet the void in all directions was transforming. "In all four quarters of heaven and earth, as far as the eye can see, all is my soil!" The earth spread out! Within the chaos, a heaven and earth formed on its own! The Eight-Winged Tiger could hold back no longer and roared, "Emperor Yu, as the humans say, well water does not cross into river water... Why press us so hard?" "Heaven and earth arise, and yin and yang shall be born..." Yin and yang surged forth! A stream of yin-yang energy manifested in an instant, transforming into a yin-yang cage that enveloped all four directions. With a resounding boom, the Eight-Winged Tiger slammed against the yin-yang barrier, shivering from head to toe under the impact. "As yin and yang appear, the Five Elements arise naturally..." Boom! Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were born. Flames scorched the heavens; the earth condensed into giants that lunged to seize the Eight-Winged Tiger and Chaos Dragon. A sharp sword formed between heaven and earth, shooting toward the two powerhouses, while countless massive trees branched out, lashing out to bind them. The Eight-Winged Tiger and Chaos Dragon were both terrified! Su Yu could actually construct a heaven and earth right here! This was terrifying! This was not Su Yu's actual heaven and earth—it was a projection, yet... not purely a projection either. It resembled Su Yu reconstructing and sorting the myriad Daos on the spot, rapidly organizing chaotic power into a world. "Of the myriad Daos of heaven and earth, only speed reigns supreme... Let it be faster, faster still..." Su Yu's laughter carried a playful edge. In an instant, the two powerhouses felt the sun and moon spin and the world turn upside down. Innumerable life-forms appeared across the land—men of fire, men of wood, men of stone... These formidable constructs charged at them in an instant! "I decree: between heaven and earth, there shall be a nine-winged tiger!" A tiger bearing nine wings materialized abruptly, letting out a roar before charging at the Eight-Winged Tiger! "I decree: between heaven and earth, there shall be a twin-tailed dragon!" In the blink of an eye, a colossal dragon with two forked tails emerged, lunging at the Chaos Dragon! Both beasts were struck dumb. The next instant, battle erupted. The bobtailed dragon whipped his tail, smashing the twin-tailed dragon to pieces with a thunderous roar. Overjoyed, he shouted, "They're just hollow fakes!" *Scared me half to death!* *They looked intimidating, but they can't take a hit!* "A twin-tailed dragon won't do? Then three tails, four tails..." Su Yu counted aloud. Following his words, thousands of colossal dragons formed within moments. The final dragon was entirely covered in tails, presenting a hair-raising sight! The bobtailed dragon slaughtered the dragons continuously, yet the more he killed, the more appeared! The Eight-Winged Tiger roared, "Stop fighting them, break out! You'll never finish them off inside this world! He is a World Opener; this entire domain is his territory! Run!" If they didn't escape, Su Yu could fabricate endless tigers and dragons—how could they possibly fight that? "I decree: not enough tigers. Come forth!" Instantly, countless tigers manifested around the Eight-Winged Tiger. Only then did Su Yu emerge from the void, wearing a faint smile. "Is it fun?" "How about finding you two a mate and breeding you?" The two powerhouses kept silent, violently ramming the surrounding barrier. Su Yu shook his head. "Why bother? You are strong, but... brute force won't work!" Just as he spoke, the Eight-Winged Tiger spat out a sharp flying sword. With a piercing hiss, it punctured the yin-yang barrier, and the tiger darted out in a flash! Su Yu started, then chuckled. "Impressive! A tiger that knows how to use flying swords—not bad at all!" The Eight-Winged Tiger didn't look back, leaving the Chaos Dragon to his fate! *It's fine if the Chaos Dragon buys me some time!* *Su Yu has grown even more monstrous!* Just as the thought crossed his mind, Su Yu's laughter sounded in his ear. "If you run out, it won't be fun anymore, you know." Boom! Before the Eight-Winged Tiger could react, a fist the size of a sandbag struck him, leaving him dizzy and disoriented, his flesh split, and one of his fangs broken... With a heavy bang, Su Yu kicked him. Boom! The Eight-Winged Tiger crashed back into the yin-yang barrier! He collided squarely with the Chaos Dragon, who had just whipped his tail at the barrier. The Chaos Dragon's tail was already swinging and couldn't be pulled back in time—well, maybe it could, but stopping it would have injured himself. *Forget it, just whip through!* A deafening crack echoed as the strike tore open the Eight-Winged Tiger's flesh again, eliciting a shrill curse: "Fuck!" *Chaos Dragon, I'll remember this! You lashed me!* "Emperor Yu, we can talk this out..." He was terrified! Su Yu was far too strong—this defied reason. A single punch had left him severely injured. How was that possible?! "No, stay and play with me. I'm not in the mood for talk. Fleeing the moment you saw me means you look down on me!" Su Yu spoke calmly. The next moment, he resealed the yin-yang barrier, enclosing them once more in his world. Smiling brilliantly, he said, "I decree: heaven and earth carry ill luck, and blows meant for others shall strike one's own..." *Smack!* The Chaos Dragon's tail struck the Eight-Winged Tiger's head once more. The dragon looked utterly innocent. "I didn't mean to!" He had only wanted to flee! Yet his tail had inexplicably struck the Eight-Winged Tiger again. This... was truly beyond his control. Furious, the Eight-Winged Tiger unleashed his flying sword, ignoring the Chaos Dragon to pierce the barrier once more! *Thwack!* The flying sword abruptly stabbed into the Chaos Dragon's tail. The dragon screamed and cursed, "Are you getting back at me? I told you it wasn't on purpose!" The Eight-Winged Tiger felt just as aggrieved. "I didn't mean to either!" "You're copying me?" The Chaos Dragon roared in anger. *You're definitely retaliating!* "The Dao of Seven Emotions and Six Desires isn't bad either. Rage on—a battle of dragon and tiger!" In an instant, both dragon and tiger grew exceedingly agitated and furious. The Eight-Winged Tiger was alarmed and opened his mouth to shout, but heard Su Yu speak again: "Enduring what others cannot makes a hero. Silence!" The Dao of Silence erupted! Their fury boiled! "Rage is meaningless; lust is a knife that scrapes the bones. You two, fall in love!" In a flash, when the Eight-Winged Tiger looked at the Chaos Dragon, he seemed to see an exquisite tigress. And when the Chaos Dragon looked at him, he seemed to behold an incomparably gorgeous dragoness! The Eight-Winged Tiger and Chaos Dragon both knew deep down that they had fallen into a trap. Yet... they couldn't resist! The dragon and tiger were both filled with dread. What were they to do? The next instant, they drew closer to each other, both practically drooling. *So beautiful!* "Are you two male or female?" "Forget it, male or female doesn't matter!" Su Yu answered his own question and chuckled. "Do you two need the lights turned off?" Boom! Darkness fell! "Heaven as quilt, earth as bed—congratulations to you two on entering the bridal chamber!" "..." "Ah!" A shrill roar erupted. The sky turned into a blanket and the earth into a bed as the dragon and tiger naturally converged. But the Eight-Winged Tiger snapped back to his senses and shrieked in horror, *No!* *I don't want this!* "Emperor Yu, spare me!" He wailed pitifully, *Spare me! I don't want to sleep with the Chaos Dragon!* "Silence! Too noisy!" Su Yu barked softly, saying coldly, "Get into the bridal chamber! I want to see a dragon and tiger couple!" "No!" The Eight-Winged Tiger wailed, "Your Majesty Emperor Yu, mercy!" "It must be done!" "Emperor Yu, Sovereign Su, Your Majesty, Lord... Ancestor!" The Eight-Winged Tiger saw that the dimwitted Chaos Dragon was genuinely overcome with lust, advancing toward him with a colossal member erect behind his tail. He turned freezing cold in pure terror—*he's mad!* The Chaos Dragon, that madman, that idiot, was actually being controlled! *It's over!* *Of course—dragons are lustful by nature!* *Fuck your ancestors!* He wailed desperately, "No, Lord, Ancestor, spare my life!" *I refuse to be defiled by the Chaos Dragon!* *Don't!* Only now did he comprehend that Su Yu had grown stronger—far stronger than before. The Chaos Dragon had fallen under his spell so effortlessly; Su Yu was definitely far superior in strength. Damn it all! Here, they stood no chance against Su Yu! "Calling me Ancestor won't help!" Su Yu said flatly. "You know what I want!" "Your Majesty... spare me! We'll help you kill Yu Qing... kill... kill whoever you want!" The Eight-Winged Tiger roared again, *No, if this goes on, the Chaos Dragon will aim right at my backside!* *Heavens!* Su Yu's figure materialized, looking down at him with a faint smile. "You said it yourself. What if you disobey?" "Let me die..." "No. If you disobey, I will lock you and the Chaos Dragon together and have you perform a dragon-and-tiger show for me every day!" Su Yu said coldly, "Seal your own physical bodies. If you can escape, then all my preparations will have been for nothing!" *To hell with you!* *How long have you been preparing? We've known each other for less than a month, and you claim to have prepared for a long time? What counts as 'a long time' to you?!* The Eight-Winged Tiger pleaded shrilly, "Your Majesty, restrain this guy first! Otherwise, if I seal myself... I'm terrified!" *The Chaos Dragon is insane! He wants to violate me!* Su Yu wore a slight smile and waved his hand. The Daos dissipated, and the Dao of Lust vanished. The Chaos Dragon snapped awake. Suddenly realizing the Eight-Winged Tiger's rear was aimed directly at him, he whipped his tail, sending the tiger flying with a crash. Recalling what had just happened, the dragon looked at Su Yu with rising terror in his eyes! Su Yu was... unimaginably powerful! Impossible! He remembered the scene clearly. Of course, he said nothing, lest he lose face as a dragon! Su Yu smiled faintly. "Bobtailed dragon, did that feel good? Would you like to try again?" The Chaos Dragon's pupils contracted slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Emperor Yu seems far stronger than before. Could it be... your Great Dao grew by a whole tier in just a few days?" *Too fast!* Before this, he had still believed he could fight Su Yu on equal footing. Now, the gap was astronomical. Su Yu hadn't even struck in person. Enveloping enemies with a Dao projection was not omnipotent. Against someone like the Martial Emperor, the projection Su Yu manifested could probably be shattered by a few punches! But the Chaos Dragon and the Eight-Winged Tiger were not the Martial Emperor! The disparity between them was massive! Su Yu's rate of progression was downright terrifying! Su Yu's smile remained brilliant. "Do you want to try again? I think you might. You seemed quite interested in the Eight-Winged Tiger..." "No!" The Chaos Dragon refused flatly, subconsciously glancing at the tiger and shaking his massive head. *Forget it, the Eight-Winged Tiger is too hideous!* Su Yu narrowed his eyes and chuckled. "How about this: I'll create an illusion for you so that the Eight-Winged Tiger looks like an exquisite dragoness..." In a flash, the Chaos Dragon's vision blurred. Looking at the Eight-Winged Tiger again, he was stunned! It was a dragon with eight wings! A peerlessly beautiful dragon! *Heavens, she's gorgeous.* The Chaos Dragon swallowed hard. *This... works! Let's do it!* "Snap out of it!" The Eight-Winged Tiger roared abruptly, instantly shattering the illusion. The Chaos Dragon looked at him with regret and slight annoyance. *I hadn't seen enough!* *In this chaos, I haven't encountered another of my kind for countless ages!* *What an annoying tiger!* The Eight-Winged Tiger was on the verge of despair. He never wanted to be around this stupid dragon again—the creature had zero restraint. That look in his eyes just now... he knew exactly what it meant! Infuriating! Su Yu was far too wicked! Su Yu's smile remained unchanged. "Still want to play? If not, seal yourselves! I won't kill you; you'll make fine muscle. What do you say?" "..." The two powerhouses exchanged glances, thoroughly dispirited. *Captured just like that?* *Do we yield or not?* A moment later, the Eight-Winged Tiger sighed and sealed his own physical body, utterly dejected. *From the first moment I saw you, I knew scholars were bad news.* *Not a single person in white robes is good!* *I fled this far, yet I still couldn't escape your clutches!* *Starting today, I'm never wearing white robes again!* The Eight-Winged Tiger was filled with grief. *Everyone in white robes is wicked, and I'm not wicked enough to match them!* *Only when I become evil enough will I wear white robes again!* Seeing this, the Chaos Dragon had no choice but to seal himself as well, murmuring helplessly, *Leaving seclusion has been a total disaster!* *Had I known this would happen, I would rather have stayed sleeping in the chaos!*
