Three Heavens

King Wu had revived? In this moment, even Su Yu was astonished. So fast! Yet speed was not the crux of the matter. What truly stunned Su Yu was that King Wu had revived rapidly all on his own, without anyone guiding or calling out to him. What did that signify? It signified that King Wu’s willpower, obsession, and conviction were terrifyingly potent. He harbored few stray thoughts—only pure, unyielding resolve. *Is the martial path truly the purest?* Su Yu couldn't help but ponder this. King Wu had revived so swiftly likely because he kept things simple and held single-minded conviction, allowing him to shatter the darkness and awaken within it. Of course, it was also tied to the fact that his Dao resided within Su Yu's world. With Su Yu wielding that Dao, King Wu met the prerequisite conditions to emerge from nirvana. *Does he want to cast off the shackles of the Dao?* Right now, Su Yu could sense the Martial Dao reviving and swelling with power. And King Wu was already rushing in this direction. What level of strength did King Wu possess right now? Su Yu could not say. Before slipping into nirvana, King Wu had commanded twenty-eight Dao lines. Now, he showed signs of breaking free from the constraints of the world, making it difficult for Su Yu to gauge his exact prowess. In this moment, Su Yu suppressed the urge to erupt immediately. *Wen Yu, hold on a bit longer!* If King Wu went to her rescue, the odds of success would be much higher. Once that happened, Su Yu would be able to slay Fa at the lowest possible cost and seize control of Mount Yongsheng. Seizing Mount Yongsheng carried massive implications. It was pivotal to the upcoming Forbidden Land Conference. It might even dictate the shifting tides of the entire Heavenly Gate. Having felt King Wu revive… Su Yu had to wager everything on this gamble. Meanwhile, the battle between Fa and King Wen raged like wildfire. Both men were extraordinarily powerful. Fa still held a slight upper hand over King Wen, but King Wen was certainly no weakling. Although the sealing of the Heavenly Gate restricted the flow of power from his world, he was nonetheless a powerhouse commanding thirty-one and a half Dao lines. He possessed an endless repertoire of techniques! The clash between King Wen and Fa was a genuine battle of myriad laws. Fa commanded a vast array of Daos, and so did King Wen. One had forged a world; the other was a semi-world creator. Both commanded countless Daos and excelled in every manner of magical arts. In this moment, their clash resembled high art. Across the void, flames scorched the heavens, only to dissolve into drifting snow the next instant. A collision of domains! Fa had his Myriad Laws Domain, while King Wen possessed his own unique domain and the power of a world. King Wen’s colossal brush traced one willpower divine character after another across the void, transforming them into waves of attacks. Countless Daos materialized as giants charging toward Fa. Fa answered with overwhelming prowess, unleashing every technique at his disposal, and ripples of several Daos fusing together could even be felt. A collision of spiritual realms, a slaughter between physical bodies, a contest of mystic arts. Watching from the sidelines, Su Yu reaped considerable insight. He too knew many arts, but he could not wield them with such mastery and purity. However, King Wen was growing anxious, and his raw power was indeed a step below his opponent's. With nearly every exchange of arts, King Wen was forced back several paces. After successive clashes, a faint trail of blood seeped from the corner of his lips. He was outmatched! Naturally—if King Wen could have overpowered Fa, he would have slain him long ago rather than waiting until now. In earlier years, even when King Wen and King Wu joined forces, they could only fight Fa to a draw. Yet King Wen had no choice left. His expression turned solemn. Falling back a short distance, the boots on his feet abruptly vanished, morphing the next instant into a longspear. King Wen glared at Fa with cold resolve. "If you think you're qualified to kill me, you're mistaken!" Spear in hand, King Wen completely abandoned his mystic arts. His arts could not overcome his adversary. "Dragon Slayer!" With a low roar, a single spear sweep shook heaven and earth. Only now did Su Yu realize that King Wen’s combat dao was equally terrifying. As the spear thrust forth with a thunderous roar, Fa's spellcraft fire dragon let out a wretched scream, as if an actual dragon were being butchered! It was pinned dead by a single strike! Fa's expression shifted slightly. What a formidable combat dao! Beside them, Heiyue sucked in a cold breath. He cast a sideways glance at Su Yu and murmured, "King Wen… truly is a master of both pen and sword. To possess such terrifying martial arts, he was actually hiding his true strength." King Wen gripped his spear just as he had held his brush, yet he now radiated an aura of ruthless slaughter. "Scatter!" With another low shout, the spear shattered into ninety-nine spears, instantly forming a spear array. Su Yu could faintly catch glimpses of the Brush Dao within it—was this the split of ninety-nine divine characters? Fa let out a chilling bark, unleashing all of his Daos at once. In an instant, the void tore apart under their earth-shattering clash. Meanwhile, Su Yu sensed King Wu drawing near rapidly, and one of his apertures began to pulse with urgency. *Go to Mount Yongsheng and save her!* Su Yu repeatedly pulsed the aperture connected to the Martial Dao, though he wasn't sure if King Wu, having partially transcended, could receive the message. Su Yu kept sending out the pulses. Beside him, Heiyue looked toward Su Yu again, confusion flickering in his eyes. Fa was occupied battling King Wen and had no time to spare for Su Yu, but Heiyue had plenty. He stared at Su Yu for several seconds, his gaze shifting. What was this man's game? Was he communicating with someone? Yet this space was sealed by the Heavenly Gate, effectively forming an isolated realm. Unless the seal was broken, how could anyone transmit a message outside? Was he speaking with someone, or doing something else entirely? He couldn't tell! In that moment, Heiyue realized he couldn't see through this person at all. On high alert, he asked in a low voice, "Riyue, what are you doing?" "Cultivating!" Su Yu didn't look at him. His eyes remained fixed on King Wen and Fa, filled with apparent reverence. "Can't you feel it? Two titans of the Myriad Laws clashing right before our eyes—what a breathtaking spectacle, what an incredible opportunity… Don't disturb me, I'm comprehending the Dao!" *Comprehending the Dao?* Heiyue frowned. Was that really it? He edged slightly closer to Su Yu. Truly, he found this Riyue extraordinarily enigmatic—perhaps even more mysterious than himself. Just what was this man's background? …… Meanwhile. King Wu, sprinting at full speed, felt his expression shift as he detected ripples across the Dao. His strength was steadily recovering. He hadn't ascended to transcendent tier yet. However, as he flew onward, his strength climbed back to thirty Dao lines, vaguely verging on thirty-one. This meant he had genuinely broken through some of the world's limitations. King Wu's eyes flickered. *Go to Mount Yongsheng?* *Then what about Second Brother Wen…* *Su Yu is there!* Without a shred of hesitation, he wheeled around and bolted toward Mount Yongsheng at breakneck speed. Since Su Yu was present, Second Brother Wen… should be fine. King Wu knew Su Yu was as cunning as a fox, and Second Brother was just as shrewd. With the two of them working together, even a powerhouse like Fa was nothing to fear. Mount Yongsheng, on the other hand… was Wen Yu in trouble? …… At this moment, Mount Yongsheng was already turned upside down. Heaven and earth trembled! Two tomes materialized above Mount Yongsheng. One was the golden Time Record, currently gripped in Wen Yu’s hands. The other was a resplendent, iridescent volume—the Myriad Laws Record, the core of Fa's world. The world cores of world creators almost always took the form of books. This likely had something to do with the fundamental laws of heaven and earth. And this Myriad Laws Record was not masterless; someone held it right now. Fa's descendant, Fa Tian, stood clutching the Myriad Laws Record with extreme caution. His peripheral vision swept over the surroundings, watching the six lineage masters and the three Human Gate experts. Nine experts. Counting himself, there were fully ten figures commanding twenty-five Dao lines or more. The moment Fa's world core had materialized, Fa Tian sensed that several people harbored greedy intentions. But he had seized the artifact instantly. Now, his eyes turned cold and grim as he barked, "Six lineage masters, fellow Daoists of the Human Gate, join forces to slay Wen Yu! Her world core has been exposed. Kill her, and my father will devour her core, swiftly taking full control of this entire world to become a true sovereign!" Wen Yu was encircled in their midst. The golden light of her Time Record flickered dimly, and blood stained the corners of her mouth. They had already fought a round before this, and she had lost. Yet these individuals each harbored their own hidden agendas; when they struck earlier, their eyes had clearly lingered on the Myriad Laws Record. Only after Fa Tian seized it and erected a Myriad Laws Domain around himself did the six lineage masters reluctantly look away. Fa Tian was Fa's son. Fa's Myriad Laws Record did not reject him; otherwise, none of the others could have approached it either. "Kill her! This is our best opportunity!" Fa Tian shouted. The nine experts said nothing, lunging toward the Time Master in unison. Fa Tian did not join the fray; he could not afford to. The moment he was injured, someone would inevitably covet the Myriad Laws Record. Further out, numerous other cultivators stood watch. Yet Fa Tian did not permit them to intervene. Too many hands would invite chaos, and Fa Tian trusted none of them. He forced them out of the inner circle to prevent anyone from colluding with outsiders and striking him down from behind. The six lineage masters were also subjects of his wariness. Although they were his father's subordinates, his father had not yet returned. Who knew if they would nurse treacherous ambitions? In the center of the encirclement. The Time Master sneered. She no longer bore the innocence Su Yu had seen earlier; her face was etched with killing intent. Flipping open the Time Record, illusory figures manifested one after another as the pages turned. All manner of demons and fiends burst forth! "Kill!" With a low shout, thousands of fiends and demons charged outward, each exceptionally formidable, as the pages of the Time Record whipped violently. Yet the nine experts possessed overwhelming power! Swaths of illusions were slaughtered in an instant. Each death triggered a backlash against the Time Master, sending blood trickling from her lips while her internal organs and Daos trembled violently. Facing nine alone, she was simply no match for them! The Time Master instantly dissolved into a dark shadow, vanishing in the blink of an eye. When she reappeared, she was directly in front of one of them, her eyes brimming with vicious murderous intent. A sharp sword manifested in her hand. With a guttural cry, she thrust it forward! *Pfft!* A Human Gate expert was pierced clean through the torso by her blade. Yet at the same instant, the other eight struck in unison, blasting her backward with a deafening boom. She tumbled through the air, battered, bloodied, her flesh torn apart. Yet Wen Yu did not care. A mocking sneer tugged at her lips. "Keep coming!" Her tactic was ruthless: focus all her attacks on a single target. That was the essence of surviving a group brawl. As long as you terrified one opponent, their momentum would falter. Even if you took the brunt of the injuries, by making one of them pay dearly, you could buy more time—provided they weren't completely united or bound by absolute loyalty! Sure enough, the expert whose body had just been skewered wore an ugly expression. Gravely injured, he stepped back and held off on rushing back in. Even so, the Time Master could neither break through the encirclement nor get close to Fa Tian. Her goal was to devour the Myriad Laws Record in Fa Tian's grasp! To seize absolute control of the entire world! Yet Fa Tian refused to step forward, lingering safely in the rear to oversee the battle. Because he was Fa's son, everyone followed his commands. And because he was Fa's son holding the Myriad Laws Record, no one could contest his authority. Without Fa Tian present, simply deciding who held the record would have sparked civil war! That was precisely why Fa had left his son behind. It ensured nothing spiraled out of control. Nine top-tier experts were more than enough to handle Wen Yu. And right now, Wen Yu was truly in mortal peril! Yet she didn't care. Su Yu had offered to rescue her ahead of time, but she had refused. It was not out of arrogance, nor because she believed she could defeat these experts on her own. It was because… in this era, escaping without power would only bring greater misery! Her brother, Taishan, Su Yu—all of them had plunged into mortal peril to save her. Her brother had wasted thousands of years here, and a hundred thousand years had elapsed in the Myriad Realms… After such an eternity, if she stepped outside having accomplished nothing, she would have no dignity left. Rather than that… she would rather die in battle right here! At the very least, her death would ignite her brother's fury. She knew that if she truly died, her brother, free of all restraint, would surely become an object of dread to everyone. He would slaughter every last enemy to avenge her! "Fire!" With a light cry, flames engulfed the sky, accompanied by a rich aroma drifting in all directions, as if meat were being roasted to perfection. Catching the scent, several figures changed countenance. The Thunder Lineage Master roared, "Poison!" *Boom!* Thunder detonated, scattering the fragrance. Among the six lineage masters, the somewhat weaker Lightning Lineage Master suddenly staggered, overcome by dizziness. She gritted her teeth. "It’s not poison… it's… it's…" It was an indescribable sensation, like feeling completely stuffed and drowsy after a heavy feast, longing only to sleep. It wasn't truly toxic; left alone, one might only doze off for a moment and wake up unharmed. Yet here, in the heat of battle, such a trick was exceedingly troublesome. Amidst the flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder, a miniature River of Time suddenly materialized around the Time Master. She flitted along its banks like a phantom, vanishing and reappearing in fractions of a second! Within the forbidden land, nine colossal mountains abruptly hurtled toward the nine experts! Someone yelled, "Young Master Fa Tian, don't let her control the forbidden land!" Fa Tian's face hardened. Inexperienced in battle and lacking absolute control over the Myriad Laws Record, he flailed momentarily before finally managing to suppress the nine crashing peaks! Just then, the Time Master let out a stifled grunt as a fist struck her out of the void, forcing her silhouette into view. A black-robed figure emerged instantly. One of the three Human Gate experts! With a single punch, he had driven the Time Master straight out of the void. Incredibly powerful! The six lineage masters' eyes narrowed. Someone muttered in a low voice, "Fist Saint!" None of the three Human Gate experts had gone all out before. But this man had just delivered a blow that could shatter the heavens. The lineage masters instantly recognized him as an expert who had established his own forbidden land! He didn't command thirty-two Dao lines, only thirty-one, yet across the gate, he was still an illustrious figure! He was actually a forbidden land lord! The founder of the Fist Domain! The black-robed man wore a mask, his eyes icy and silent. None of the three had wished to reveal their identities, but holding back their signature moves and Dao power had given the Time Master openings to exploit. Since things had come to this… he could no longer be bothered to hide! So what if he had defected to the Human Gate? Hadn't Fa colluded with the Human Gate just the same? No longer concealing his identity, his combat strength surged terrifyingly. Another punch blasted forth. Several Daos materialized before the Time Master, only to be shattered by his fist. Her strength currently hovered around thirty-one Dao lines. She was evenly matched with him; the Fist Saint alone was enough to contend with her. *Boom!* The Time Master stumbled back several steps. In the next breath, the others struck again, battering Wen Yu into continuous retreat and coughing up blood! The Fist Saint barked coldly, "Fa Tian, devour her world power! Are you an idiot? If you kill her by force, the world power she commands will detonate! Do you want to waste that power, or do you want to swallow it?" Fa Tian's face tightened. Gritting his teeth, he stepped forward, clutching the Myriad Laws Record tightly to advance step by step, devouring the drifting Dao power. The Fist Saint continued hurling punches, his tone chilling. "Suppress her! Don't let her reclaim her world power—let the Myriad Laws Record devour it! Everyone, we've come this far; cast aside your selfish thoughts! Once Lord Fa succeeds, everyone benefits!" Fa Tian remained silent, even though the Fist Saint was overstepping his bounds and usurping command! Wen Yu's face turned deathly pale, yet her eyes blazed with defiance. *You want to devour me?* *Keep dreaming!* "Heaven Collapse!" With a furious shout, heaven and earth shattered. A massive burst of world power exploded, shearing a colossal mountain right in half. A deafening roar shook the entire forbidden land violently as terrifying energy blasted outward! Seizing that split-second opening, Wen Yu struck with full force! *Boom!* Wen Yu went tumbling backward thousands of meters. Yet on the Fist Saint, who stood at the forefront, a plume of flame suddenly erupted from his arm. An instant later, his entire arm fell off, thoroughly roasted and emitting a mouth-watering aroma! The severing cut was impossibly clean! In the distance, a small knife—a kitchen knife—shimmered faintly in the Time Master's hand. She twirled the blade, its edge gleaming with icy light, and offered a faint smile. "Nicely roasted. Feel free to have a taste!" The Fist Saint's face turned pitch-black. A new arm rapidly regenerated, though it was slightly weaker than before. "The Time Master truly lives up to her name. A pity… you're only courting death!" "Kill!" The group surged forward once more amidst thunderous booms. Just as Wen Yu moved to swing her blade, *pfft!* A vicious claw slashed out of nowhere, cleanly severing her arm at the wrist with a sharp crack! A severed hand fell straight to the ground, its fingers still gripping the gleaming kitchen knife. Another of the three black-robed figures had unleashed his full might, discarding all secrecy! The six lineage masters observed the strike, and the Rain Lineage Master's eyes flickered as she identified him. "Wolf!" The progenitor of the Wolf Race of the Myriad Realms! His name was simply Wolf! This man served Myriad Beasts Mountain. He commanded thirty Dao lines and held immense status in Myriad Beasts Mountain, on par with the Radiant Holy Tiger, though he kept a far lower profile. The lineage masters' expressions altered slightly. Was Kong aligned with the Human Gate? Could the Human Gate truly command the service of such an expert? Of the three Human Gate experts, two had now been exposed. Wolf said chillingly, "What are you staring at? Attack!" The six lineage masters had deliberately let the three Human Gate experts spearhead the assault to force their identities into the open. The Human Gate figures knew this, but with two already exposed, it no longer mattered. The third figure—the one Wen Yu had previously skewered through the torso—smiled faintly as he noticed their gazes. "What are you looking at? You lot… are slacking off! This is your Mount Yongsheng's business, yet you force us to do the heavy lifting while you take it easy in the back!" The lineage masters said nothing, though hesitation flickered across their faces. For one simple reason… Riyue had told them beforehand: devour the Time Master's world power, but do not kill her! Before King Wen died, the Time Master must not be slain! Riyue had accompanied them all this time and laid it out crystal clear: even if the Time Master was to be killed, it could not happen before King Wen fell. Otherwise, King Wen would go mad, and if he escaped, whoever struck down the Time Master would be marked for death! Only when Lord Fa killed King Wen would it be time to go all out and eliminate her. The lineage masters had taken those words to heart. Thus, they held back slightly, because Riyue’s reasoning had made absolute sense! If King Wen survived and the Time Master died, he would have nothing left to lose. Dealing with Lord Fa might be difficult for him, but hunting down the lineage masters would be well within his reach—unless they hid inside forever! Su Yu hadn't been here long, but his status was unique. Over the past few days, he had led the six lineage masters around, subtly benefiting them in numerous ways. Now, seeing that the Time Master genuinely faced imminent death, the lineage masters hesitated. Should they kill her? King Wen wasn't dead yet! If King Wen died, there would certainly be a commotion! Just as they hesitated, a colossal roar detonated on the perimeter. A figure brandishing a great saber swept seven or eight outer experts into the air with a single slash, striding through the void draped in boundless killing intent! He spotted Wen Yu! King Wu saw Wen Yu in the center, retreating step by step, one of her hands lopped off! King Wu's killing intent erupted to the heavens! "Audacious curs!" A furious roar shook the surroundings, striking terror into the hearts of even seasoned experts. An aura forged from the slaughter of millions slammed against their minds! It was a psychological tempest, instantly plunging the weaker cultivators into sheer dread! "Die!" *Boom!* A saber slashed out, shattering the void. Inside the encirclement, Wen Yu looked up, her face lighting up with joy! Brother Taishan had arrived! "You dare seek death!" King Wu charged straight toward Fa Tian with his saber, radiating unstoppable momentum. Fa Tian was no weakling, yet terror seized him, for within that blade strike, he saw countless severed heads tumbling and mountains of corpses! He saw legions slaughtered! Powerful—though not overwhelmingly so. King Wu had only recovered to thirty-one Dao lines, not yet at his peak. Yet that single slash carried faint undertones of transcendence. Above all, his murderous aura was suffocating! Compared to these gate dwellers who spent countless millennia in seclusion, King Wu had fought and slaughtered for ages; he had probably killed more people than they had ever laid eyes on! *Boom!* A massive explosion rang out. The six lineage masters didn't want the trouble of killing the Time Master right now, but intercepting King Wu was perfectly fine. All six struck simultaneously, hurtling toward King Wu as thunder erupted and savage winds howled! In a flash, an all-out battle broke out. …… At this moment, Su Yu felt a wave of relief wash over him. King Wu should have arrived! He turned his gaze back to the ongoing duel between King Wen and Fa, frowning slightly. If this continued, King Wen would only be driven back step by step without inflicting meaningful damage on Fa. How was Su Yu supposed to find an opening for a fatal strike? Without the right opportunity, taking down Fa would not be simple! Su Yu commanded thirty-two Dao lines, and so did Fa; they were peers in strength. Su Yu didn't fear Fa and was confident he could defeat him, but… defeating someone and killing them were entirely different matters! As for King Wen… with thirty-one and a half Dao lines, he felt… how to put it? He was formidable, matching Fa blow for blow while only slightly disadvantaged, much like Su Yu’s battle against the Luohun Valley Lord back then. Yet he failed to astonish Su Yu. King Wen… didn't seem quite dazzling enough. Could it be that Su Yu was simply too exceptional? Just then, King Wen and Fa seemed to sense something as well. King Wen glanced toward Mount Yongsheng. It was vast distances away, but he could faintly sense a murderous aura soaring into the sky! King Wu! Yes, Taishan had gone there—he knew Taishan all too well. *Wait, wasn't Taishan with Su Yu?* *If he charged over there…* *Then where was Su Yu?* In that split second, King Wen's peripheral vision landed on Su Yu. *Could this man… be Su Yu?* He was eighty percent certain! And the moment King Wen’s gaze swept over him, Su Yu’s eyes flickered, and a faint, meaningful smile played on his lips. King Wen's heart jolted! It was Su Yu! He hadn't made a move all this time because… he was waiting! Waiting for King Wen to create an opening! He understood! In that instant, King Wen grasped Su Yu's intent. Taking down a cultivator with thirty-two Dao lines was extraordinarily difficult! That was why Su Yu had held back, biding his time! He needed a decisive opening to subdue Fa in the shortest possible time. And up until now, that opening hadn't materialized because King Wen hadn't provided it. In the span of a lightning flash, King Wen understood Su Yu's mind and decoded that smile. It was practically mocking him, berating him for failing to create an opportunity after all this time. King Wen looked at Su Yu once more. Su Yu's eyes shifted slightly. King Wen seemed to be conveying: *Just wait, it's coming soon!* Su Yu’s focus sharpened. *Soon?* *What is King Wen going to do?* Nearby, Heiyue glanced at Su Yu, then at King Wen. Sensing nothing amiss, he merely wondered whether King Wen was setting his sights on them. …… In this moment, King Wen was suddenly freed from all misgivings. Earlier, he had been wracked with worry over Wen Yu’s safety. He feared that going all out and failing to eliminate Fa would only drag both himself and Wen Yu to their deaths. Now that he knew Su Yu was right here, waiting for the opportune moment… King Wen relaxed! He also knew the Lord of Dead Spirits was engaged in battle, likely connected to this affair. The Lord of Dead Spirits held Su Yu in high regard, so his entry into the fray probably stemmed from a tacit understanding with Su Yu. King Wen smiled, choosing to gamble on that unspoken rapport! "World, descend!" He let out a low roar! *Boom!* Far in the distance, the Heavenly Gate shuddered. King Wen summoned his world, and just as a surge of world power began to bleed through, the Heavenly Gate violently convulsed, blazing with dazzling radiance that mirrored heaven and earth, blocking the power cold! At that exact instant, deep within the distant dark void, the Lord of Dead Spirits sensed the shift, his expression changing. Without a second thought, he summoned his own world! *Boom!* Another torrent of immense world power poured forth. The Heavenly Gate erupted with blinding brilliance once more. This time, the gate was prepared: *I bloody knew two worlds were coming!* *You think you can trick me twice?* Even if the Heavenly Gate had not fully awakened, its instinctual power was immense! *Did you think I couldn't block two worlds?* Yet right at that juncture, the power of a world exploded from Su Yu's body as he, too, summoned his world—a third world! This time, the Heavenly Gate had no time to react! The moment King Wen made his move, Su Yu had understood. King Wen wanted everyone to summon their worlds simultaneously! They had never coordinated beforehand, yet King Wen, Su Yu, and the Lord of Dead Spirits shared that tacit synergy. *You, Heavenly Gate, aren't fully awake—what do you know?* When King Wen first erupted, Fa was startled, but seeing that the world power failed to descend, a sneer crossed his face. It was blocked! Yet in the very next heartbeat, Fa's expression warped drastically! Something was wrong! Another terrifying aura had erupted, accompanied by the power of a world. Unable to tell whether it belonged to King Wen or someone else, Fa watched in shock as that power swept rapidly toward them, as though an entire world were descending upon this place! Who was it? King Wen's? World power was nearly impossible to identify without prior familiarity; nobody had ever seen King Wen's world. Fa couldn't tell whether King Wen's summoning had succeeded or failed! Yet he could clearly feel that a surge of world power, though not overwhelmingly massive, had descended! "Die!" Fa grew frantic. What the devil was happening? Had the Heavenly Gate failed to block it? At the same time, King Wen’s power exploded to a terrifying degree. Merging the longspears back into one, he lunged at Fa with unstoppable momentum, his strike so ferocious that his own flesh began to crack! *Three worlds—let's see you try to block all of them!* Behind Fa, Su Yu instantly fused his world powers. He originally commanded thirty-two Dao lines, but the moment his world power descended, his aura spiked dramatically—thirty-three Dao lines, thirty-four Dao lines… and then leveled off! Exactly thirty-four Dao lines! Unlike the Lord of Dead Spirits, who soared past thirty-six lines upon integration, Su Yu's world in the Myriad Realms was not especially strong. Even so, the fusion of yin and yang granted him a massive boost! Beside him, Heiyue's expression twisted in horror! He had finally realized what was happening! Too late. The gulf in strength was simply too vast. Thirty-two Dao lines marked an insurmountable threshold; Su Yu wielded thirty-four, while Heiyue possessed merely twenty-eight. The instant Su Yu integrated both worlds, his saber slashed out! *Buzz!* The blade severed the void! Carrying overwhelming majesty, the strike cleaved toward Heiyue. Heiyue moved to flee, but with a wet tear, his body was sheared in two! He wasn't dead and could still flee, but Su Yu's voice rang directly in his ears: "If you don't want to die, don't resist. I still have use for you!" Terror gripped Heiyue’s heart. Looking up, he saw a cage descending over him, draped in countless binding ropes. Keep running, or… surrender and perhaps survive? In a split second, he made his choice. He couldn't escape, nor had he anywhere to run—the disparity was insurmountable. Surrendering now offered his only sliver of survival. The cage snapped shut around him! Su Yu paid him no further heed. The moment the words left his mouth, he drove his blade straight into Fa’s back with his full, terrifying strength! Fa sensed it instantly. His face twisted in horror as his Myriad Laws Domain exploded outward. But opposite him, King Wen cast aside all restraint, his white robe billowing out to form a colossal cage that blotted out the sky, clamping down directly onto Fa! That white robe faintly resembled a world seal. The King Wen Order! The King Wen Seal! Even Su Yu hadn't expected the robe to be a supreme treasure. King Wen let out a savage roar as the robe vanished, revealing his adamantine, muscular physique. Wrapped in unhinged frenzy, both of his fists struck out simultaneously—*boom!* Punch after punch battered forward like a tempest! Where was the refined King Wen now? Stark naked, he hammered away in a frenzy, far more savage than King Wu! Anyone who witnessed this would struggle to believe this was King Wen! Fa's Myriad Laws Domain was instantly pinned down and suppressed by the white robe, followed immediately by King Wen’s berserk onslaught! Sensing the mortal peril behind him and King Wen's madness before him, Fa grimaced, roaring as his Myriad Laws erupted with a thunderous blast! Over half of his Dao power burned away in an instant! Forced to divide his attention, Fa unleashed a ferocious blast of spiritual willpower toward Su Yu while hurtling his physical body toward King Wen in a bid for mutual destruction! He roared in fury, "Riyue?!" Was this man Riyue? Hardly! Dual worlds! Who on earth was this? Su Yu? There was no time to ponder. Having fused two worlds, Su Yu’s aura was overwhelmingly fierce, and his physical body was extraordinarily robust. A single slash of his saber obliterated the incoming spiritual willpower. Meanwhile, King Wen fought like a rabid beast, fists hammering wildly—*boom, boom, boom!* His own fists shattered, pulverizing Fa's fists in return. King Wen paid it no mind; with both fists broken, he hurled his head straight toward Fa! Unbelievably savage! No one would ever believe that this brutally violent man was the refined King Wen of old, the scholar who had executed brilliant, elegant mystic arts. What was more, just as King Wen’s headbutt was about to connect, he suddenly tilted his head up and unhinged his jaw, gaping so wide that he swallowed Fa's incoming head whole! *Crack!* His steel teeth clamped down viciously on Fa's skull. Though King Wen's teeth shattered from the impact, Fa shrieked in agony as his skull fractured under the bite. King Wen was terrifyingly feral! Like a primeval beast! His broken, mangled arms snapped forward to wrap tightly around Fa’s neck, while his legs locked around Fa's waist. His posture was grotesque beyond words: his gaping mouth clamping onto Fa's head, broken arms clutching his neck, legs cinched around his waist. Fa’s muffled roars echoed from within King Wen’s mouth. A terrifying swallowing force erupted from King Wen's maw! His eyes bulged wide as he glared at Su Yu, his expression screaming: *Hurry!* Su Yu was utterly dumbfounded. *This is King Wen?* *This is a monster!* Of course, Su Yu didn't hesitate for a heartbeat. Unleashing all thirty-four Dao lines of power, oblivious to King Wen’s safety, he drove his blade straight through Fa’s back! *Pfft!* The blade impaled Fa and pierced right through King Wen as well! Pinning both men together in the void! Dao power detonated simultaneously within both of their bodies! *Boom!* Fa struggled frantically, but he could not break free of King Wen in time! In his berserk state, King Wen had completely discarded his dignity and decorum. He cared for nothing except dragging this bastard to hell! Both men were grievously wounded! Su Yu abandoned his blade, his hands morphing into claws that ripped viciously into Fa’s back with a sickening squelch. Tearing Fa's flesh apart, Su Yu dragged out his internal organs and incinerated them into nothingness! Su Yu unleashed his Dao power in full, annihilating a massive surge of world power! Fa shrieked and convulsed violently! Even in death, he refused to perish like this. Such an end was too humiliating! Even now, King Wen clamped down on his head, refusing to let go though his teeth were completely pulverized. "Damn you…" Fa roared with fury. The next instant, a colossal wellspring of power erupted from his core. *You want to kill me?* *Then die with me!* The seventy percent of world power he had retained, even after suffering attrition, remained unimaginably vast. In an instant, that apocalyptic might detonated from within him! *Boom!* An earth-shattering blast rang out. The first thing Su Yu saw was King Wen’s mouth blowing apart into bloody chunks. King Wen let out a muffled howl of agony, but had no luxury to nurse the wound; his physical body was rapidly disintegrating. Unleashing a surge of power, he gasped out one final cry: "Protect my Heavenly Gate…" A tiny portal materialized. It was his personal Heavenly Gate! This could not be destroyed; a heavenly gate contained one's sea of will and the power of seven hundred and twenty apertures! Su Yu snatched the miniature gate into his grasp. King Wen flashed a bloody grin, then let out a fierce roar as his white robe reformed into a cage, wrapping himself and Fa together. *Boom!* A deafening explosion rang out as the white robe disintegrated instantly! Both men vanished from sight. Su Yu barked a low shout, unleashing an immense binding force to prevent the massive shockwave from rippling outward. The first layer of bindings shattered in an instant. Su Yu laid down another array! Layer after layer, each shattering upon impact! Su Yu laid down more arrays, releasing countless binding techniques. Thunderous detonations echoed ceaselessly throughout the miniature world! Ignoring everything else, coughing up mouthfuls of blood as the shockwaves battered him repeatedly, Su Yu forcefully suppressed all ripples of power! None of it could leak out; otherwise, the commotion would instantly alert everyone that a catastrophe had occurred here! After a long while, the world fell quiet. Su Yu materialized, coughing up blood continuously… *These bastards are bloody difficult to kill!* Usually, these old monsters were terrified of death, but when cornered, every single one of them fought like a raving lunatic! Fa had detonated every scrap of the seventy percent of his world power! King Wen was an extraordinary powerhouse, yet even he had been blown to smithereens. Su Yu looked down at the tiny Heavenly Gate in his hand. Cracks ran across its surface; this was King Wen's remaining source, and his injuries were clearly severe. A head poked out from the miniature Heavenly Gate—King Wen’s head, no longer composed of flesh and blood. Staring at the black hole left behind by the explosion, King Wen wore a mix of exhilaration and bitter exasperation. "Fuck!" "My white robe is gone, my white shoes are gone, my physical body is gone—everything was blown to pieces!" Meanwhile, Su Yu panted heavily. With a low grunt, he unleashed a powerful aura, and time seemed to flow backward. An illusory projection emerged, starting from the exact moment King Wen’s white robe had vanished. Su Yu instantly recorded the entire scene, then finally let out a breath. Not bad; it had only cost him a few seconds! King Wen’s phantom looked on in sheer shock. "Holy shit!" "What are you doing?"
