Chapter 20 - 20

Chapter 890: Kill Lei Jue, Run (1)

The First Divine Art continued draining the divine power from the valley.

At the same time, the saber qi around Su Yu grew denser and denser. With the density of saber qi around him, Lei Jue would be an absolute fool to approach him. Furthermore, Lei Jue would probably suspect that this was a trap if Su Yu remained there.

Su Yu no longer dared to underestimate any of the young geniuses here. Every single one of them was crazy yet cautious.

As Su Yu thought about his situation, he muttered, "Maybe I should find someone to fight. That person needs to be strong enough to keep me busy. That way, Lei Jue won't suspect anything if I remain at the same spot."

Otherwise, it would look too suspicious for him to suddenly stop after running for so long. Who should he set his eyes on? That person couldn't be too weak, but also not too strong for him to handle. This was getting difficult.

In fact, Topsoil Spirit was a perfect person for the job. But the earth movement of that fellow was also very troublesome to deal with. Whatever. Su Yu decided to stop thinking. He decided to continue moving around until he found a suitable target.

With his mind made, he continued moving while keeping the First Divine Art active. He was trying to absorb as much divine power as he could so that the saber qi in the area could move with less obstruction.

Sure, the quality of the power left by the Invincibles here was very high, but it had been too long. The saber qi and divine power had also been constantly wearing each other down. Spread in such a large valley, the saber qi and divine power had both declined greatly in strength.

Su Yu continued moving while hiding, taking care to not deliberately expose his whereabouts. These people were too crafty. If anything looked too intentional, they would grow suspicious.

The number of geniuses in the Skyrend Valley had dropped considerably.

A lot of them had been killed. Some had also fled. Only those confident in their own strength remained.

After moving a few kilometers, Su Yu saw a golden dragon tearing off the neck of a gigantic goat with a single bite. The severed head rolled on the ground. The sight of that stunned him. Did dragons attack by biting as well? He was honestly unaware of that.

This golden dragon looked familiar. Was this the same fellow who had attacked the mystic armors alongside him previously? So a dragon would actually bite as well?

Su Yu was stunned by that revelation. This was the first time he saw a dragon biting someone. Then again, it wasn't like he had seen a lot of dragons before. But he had always imagined a dragon attacking by swinging their tail or shooting flames out of their mouth...

Meanwhile, this dragon had not only used a sword before, but he was also capable of attacking by biting. What a diverse skill set!

After biting the goat to death with one bite, the golden dragon suddenly shrunk before staring in Su Yu's direction cautiously. His long tail moved slightly, as though he was getting ready to launch a surprise attack on someone.

This dragon was a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. He was absolutely not weak. And the dragon race was also a top 10 race. Sure, the golden dragons weren't the strongest among the many sub-races in the greater dragon race, but this was still a race that was second only to the celestial dragons.

This golden dragon was probably quite a young one. And the goat he had just bitten to death was most likely only a Cloudbreach.

Su Yu stared at the golden dragon as he considered the idea of using this dragon as his opponent. But this fellow was truly not weak. Challenging him might prove troublesome.

While Su Yu was thinking, a golden light glimmered in the dragon's eyes as he spoke, "Cui Lang?"

The surprised Su Yu revealed himself and asked, "How did you know?"

So it was really that human!

The golden dragon took a few steps back cautiously, not forgetting to put the corpse of his latest victim away before saying, "I've witnessed your movement technique before. It's very strong. After sensing the presence of an expert I couldn't see nearby, I guessed that it was you."

This was quite a smart dragon.

The golden dragon asked, "Are you thinking of killing me?"

"Absolutely not." Su Yu smiled, "We are comrades. Didn't we kill some mystic armors together not long ago?"

"No. You're thinking of killing me. I can sense your killing intent..."

The golden dragon was cursing inwardly. Did this human take him for a fool? What a brazen human. How dare this human target him? He had witnessed this human killing Red Armor with his own eyes. Thus, he was very wary of Su Yu.

He said, "The divines and devils are the ones making a move against you humans. It's not the dragons. The dragon race is very strong. Don't provoke us."

"That is absolutely not my intention."

Su Yu flashed a friendly smile. The dragon race? Yeah, yeah. He was quite familiar with dragons. Zhu Tiandao's favorite mount was a golden dragon as well. The second principal of the Great Xia Cultural Researcher Academy also had a dragon as a mount. That dragon was white in color. Su Yu wondered if that was a celestial dragon. After all, the celestial dragons were known for being white. But there was also a white dragon race among the dragons.

The only difference between the two was the number of claws. A celestial dragon had nine claws, a golden dragon had eight claws while a white dragon had seven claws. Su Yu was unaware of the number of claws the second principal's mount had.

It was quite unlikely for it to be a celestial dragon. That race was basically the equivalent of the first divine or the original devil races. At the seventh-stage Sunmoon Realm, they could kill opponents at the ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm. Thus, it was more likely for the mount to be a white dragon.

The young golden dragon continued stepping back while speaking, "Cui Lang, I did not provoke you. Don't even think of provoking me. There are plenty of targets for us to kill here. It is pointless for us to turn against each other. Don't forget that Lei Jue is looking for you."

"Yeah." Su Yu smiled again, "In that case, may I trouble you to make way for me, Brother Dragon? You happen to be standing in my way. It is indeed a bad idea for us to fight each other."

"Alright."

The golden dragon hurriedly dove into a nearby crack in the ground. As for Su Yu, he flew into the distance.

The golden dragon stared at the departing human as the look in his eyes changed repeatedly. This human felt extremely dangerous.

That thought had just crossed his mind when he heard the sound of thunder. A bolt of lightning shot toward him. With a casual swipe of his tail, the dragon blasted the bolt of lightning apart. Then, he soared into the sky and stared at Lei Jue.

Lei Jue's expression changed when he noticed who he was facing. He said, "I'm looking for someone. I do not intend to provoke the dragon race."

After a short silence, the golden dragon gestured behind him and said, "Cui Lang passed by not long ago. Lei Jue, if you try to scan me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"My apologies for disturbing you, Brother Wu You."

Lei Jue wasn't too provocative toward the golden dragon. The golden dragon race was similar in strength to the lightning divine race. There was no need for him to get into a fight with this dragon. After saying that, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot ahead.

Looking at the departing figure, the golden dragon shrunk further before flying in the same direction. Perhaps he could try to see if there would be an opening for him to take advantage of. Both Lei Jue and Cui Lang felt dangerous to him.

***

"You will do."

After moving a long distance, Su Yu encountered another individual. This was a very familiar individual. This life form resembled a silkworm with the head of a dragon. This was none other than a silkwyrm! For more chapters visıt novel·fiɾe·net

This race was the greatest enemy of the Silk Destroying King. It was also a top 100 race. The silkwyrm felt a sense of danger. With a wiggle, he vanished into thin air.

Su Yu was first stunned. Then, his eyes flickered as he stepped forth and delivered a kick at empty air. He activated the Time technique, causing space to warp and throwing the silkwyrm back into reality.

The silkwyrm was stunned. He stared at Su Yu before asking, "Are you...the successor of Wang Hu?"

Wang Hu? Su Yu blanked out. Who was that? That wasn't a name he knew. Was that Silk Destroying King's name?

The silkwyrm race would definitely not address him as Silk Destroying King. The title of the other Invincibles could be used as an acknowledgment of their strength. But the silkwyrm race would be stupid to address someone by the title Silk Destroying King.

Su Yu couldn't be bothered to waste his time talking and attacked with another kick. He seemed to have realized something. The silkwyrm race was not weak at all. He seemed to have used a unique ability to hide in the void between space previously. As for the Time technique, it seemed to have been created exclusively to deal with this race.

The silkwyrm was furious to see the Time technique, but he soon discovered that this human wasn't as terrifyingly strong as he had imagined. He countered and spat a long thread of silk out.

The silkwyrm started moving around Su Yu rapidly. A short moment later, the surrounding area was already wrapped in a net of silk. The silk seemed capable of trapping space itself. The silkwyrm's eyes turned cold. This human's cultivation of the Time technique seemed quite shallow. This was a great opportunity. He would definitely be rewarded by his king for killing this human.

Killing the successor of Wang Hu was considered a great contribution to their race. For the silkwyrm race, killing Wang Hu's successor was a greater contribution than killing an enemy Sunmoon. After all, Silk Destroying King was the person who had attacked the Silkwyrm King so much that their king no longer dared to leave their realm.

As time passed, Su Yu found himself trapped in a massive net of silk. He constantly swung his saber, but the net of silk was too durable to be destroyed.

"This will be a great material for weaponsmithing."

Su Yu was impressed. This silkwyrm was a decently strong Cloudbreach. And the silk produced by this silkwyrm was actually excellent material for producing armor. In fact, this material was good enough to be used for the production of an earth-grade weapon.

Once again, Su Yu was impressed with his honesty. He had said that he was traveling to gather weaponsmithing materials. And look, so many of his opponents were voluntarily delivering him with suitable materials.

With the armor of the mystic armor race and the silk of the silkwyrm, he could probably forge a powerful armor for himself. Even though he was trapped within the net of silk, he wasn't too worried. After all, he had started this fight to catch Lei Jue's attention.

The silk around him might be durable, but he was still capable of fleeing if he really wanted to. Meanwhile, the silkwyrm was overjoyed. He had successfully trapped Wang Hu's successor!

But this human was truly quite strong. He wasn't confident he could kill this human. He was only capable of trapping this human. In fact, offense had always been one of the weaknesses of the silkwyrm race.

Not far away, thunder rumbled. The silkwyrm's expression changed. Someone was coming. Who was it? Not everyone in the valley was aware that Lei Jue was chasing after Su Yu. After sensing the arrival of an expert, the silkwyrm grew wary. Only after Lei Jue drew nearer did the silkwyrm manage to determine who the newcomer was.

"Lei Jue!"

An expert from the lightning divine race.

Suddenly, Su Yu roared and swung his saber at the net of silk around him. He created a big ruckus, looking like he was about to escape. Further away from them, Lei Jue was pleasantly surprised to see this. That human was trapped by a silkwyrm! What an unlucky human.

The silkwyrm would not be able to kill Cui Lang so easily, but if the silkwyrm focused only on trapping him, escape would be very difficult. Back then, this was what happened to the Silk Destroying King. The Silkwyrm King managed to trap Silk Destroying King, but he wasn't able to defeat Silk Destroying King. In his anger, he decided to swallow Silk Destroying King and slowly kill him through digestion.

The silkwyrm race was very unique as there was even more silk in their body. Thus, swallowing an opponent to kill them was actually a valid strategy. But Silk Destroying King had subsequently kicked up such a fuss in Silkwyrm King's stomach that Silkwyrm King had no choice but to remove Silk Destroying King through his backside.

"Bisuo, keep him tangled!" Lei Jue roared, "If I manage to kill him, I'll reward you generously!" Updates are released by noveⅼfire.net

Bisuo's expression changed again. At this point, he had the urge to run. He wasn't too familiar with Lei Jue, so he was feeling quite wary. But with Wang Hu's successor trapped, he was also somewhat unwilling to leave.

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to kill this human. And the human's struggle had suddenly increased in intensity. Bisuo started hesitating. After a short moment, he made his mind and spat even more silk around Su Yu.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was using more and more of his strength, severing the threads of silk around him.

When Bisuo sensed how strong this human was, he shouted, "Lei Jue, if you manage to kill him, I only want his legs. Nothing else."

Lei Jue blanked out. Legs?

"He is the successor of Wang Hu. The Silkwyrm King will reward his killer generously."

First, Lei Jue was stunned. Then, he was overjoyed. This was Silk Destroying King's successor? No wonder he ended up fighting a silkwyrm when he was supposed to be running.

In that case, there wasn't even a need to worry that the silkwyrm would suddenly side with the human. The Silk Destroying King was the eternal enemy of the silkwyrm race. Hell would freeze over before the two worked with each other.

Silk Destroying King viewed his past with the silkwyrm race as the greatest humiliation in his life. As for the Silkwyrm King, he was also furious with Silk Destroying King due to the constant attacks by Silk Destroying King on the silkwyrm race.

Thus, Lei Jue's joy was understandable. But he was also quite shocked. In other words, this human probably knew the Time technique as well. Yes, that seemed to be the movement technique this human had used when escaping before!

Time, Sky Sundering Saber, Soul Expanding Hammer, multiple characters...

A certain clue started emerging in his mind, but it was too vague. Since Su Yu had never been to the Allheaven Battlefield before, he was very foreign to the myriad races. But Lei Jue was sure that he had heard of something similar before.

"Cui Lang...no, who was it?"

He couldn't recall it. Back then, someone had only mentioned the topic in passing. He only remembered that the matter was slightly related to Liu Wenyan of the multiple character faction.

Liu Wenyan...Su...Su Yu?

Suddenly, a certain name emerged in his head. Yes, that was the name! Was this him?

Su Yu!

The successor of the multiple character faction!

Slowly, some memories surfaced in his mind. Back then, he had not given the matter much thought as the person they spoke of was in the Human Realm. That was too far away for him.

"Yes, it's Su Yu! The humans recently created a new cultivation method called the Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art. Father spoke of it once..."

He finally remembered. His father was one of the generals of the lightning divine race, and he had once mentioned this matter in passing. The human race was apparently spreading the new cultivation method all over the Human Realm. The name Su Yu was also mentioned back then, but Lei Jue had not given it much thought.

A researcher from the multiple character faction…

Su Yu! Lei Jue's expression changed again. He was very surprised, but he was also overjoyed. Su Yu! This human seemed to be very important. At the very least, he was much more important than Cui Lang.

He was still unsure how important this human was, but this was someone his father had personally mentioned. Thus, killing this person might result in unimaginable rewards!

"Su Yu!"

Lei Jue roared. This was a test. Amid the net of silk, Su Yu had a helpless expression. Sigh. What could he do if his genius was too bright to be concealed? Very few people among the myriad races should know that he existed. And this was his first time here. Even so, Lei Jue was able to guess who he was.

Then again, that was also because he had been revealing too many of his abilities. There was no helping it as a lot of his abilities were too unique. Not everyone knew a combination of Time, Soul Expanding Hammer, and Sky Sundering Saber.

More importantly, he was exposed not because too few people knew these arts. Rather, he was the only person who knew all three of them. That made it way too obvious who he was.

"Nonsense." Su Yu denied, "Lei Jue, you have been following me for a while. What do you want? You can get a lot more killing Huang Teng."

"Huang Teng?"

Lei Jue sneered. He sent numerous lightning bolts toward Su Yu from afar, forming a net of lightning outside the net of silk.

"Huang Teng said that you're a lot more important than him. You're the successor of Xia Family, right?"

"What?"

"What's your name?" Lei Jue asked, "Are you Cui Lang? Or Su Yu? Or Xia Yu?"

Regardless of the name, he was sure that this human was very important. If he could kill this human, the reward would be enough for him to become a Mountainsea and elevate him beyond a large number of young geniuses.

With a roar, Su Yu used his Sky Sundering Saber and cut through countless threads of silk around him. Bisuo also found the name Su Yu familiar.

But he couldn't exactly recall who that person was. This was understandable. For example, Su Yu wouldn't have known about the geniuses of the myriad races without entering the Allheaven Battlefield himself. Thus, they only found his name familiar, but they couldn't recall who he was.

The silkwyrm couldn't remember who Su Yu was, but he didn't have the time to think. He continued producing more silk to trap Su Yu. Lei Jue had also finally arrived near them. The moment he arrived, he said nothing and stabbed his lightning spear through the net of silk.

Boom!

Due to his precise control, the silk remained undamaged. The entirety of his attack was focused on Su Yu. With a swing of his saber, Su Yu blasted the bolt of lightning apart. But his hand was still hurting from the prowess of the lightning. He was forced to step back repeatedly. He roared madly and started swinging and kicking at the silk around him, constantly damaging the net.

Outside the net, the silkwyrm was shaking. The vibrations were so intense that some of his silk had snapped.

"Lei Jue..."

Bisuo shouted urgently. Could they really kill this human?

Lei Jue's eyes turned cold as he said, "Give me a moment."

He pulled his spear back, activated all his acupoints, and sent an endless stream of lightning power into his spear. He was going to kill this human with one hit. This was an opportunity that couldn't be missed.

Even Lei Jue himself had not imagined that this human would end up trapped by a silkwyrm. He used all his strength, not daring to underestimate this human.

Bisuo was alarmed upon sensing the amount of power Lei Jue was gathering. He couldn't help but worry that Lei Jue would take the opportunity to kill him as well after dealing with the human.

Sure, they weren't enemies and he only wanted the legs of that human. But...did one need a reason to kill in the Allheaven Battlefield?

Then again, this attack seemed to be very draining for Lei Jue. Perhaps he wouldn't have enough strength to do much after killing the human. In fact, Lei Jue should be the one to worry about the silkwyrm turning against him. At that thought, Bisuo became slightly less worried.

Perhaps he could even consider killing Lei Jue after Lei Jue drained himself killing Su Yu...

Naturally, Lei Jue wouldn't fully exhaust himself in this attack. He was still keeping some strength to deal with any unexpected situation. The power of lightning in his spear continued growing.

The pressure Bisuo felt from the spear grew stronger and stronger. Su Yu seemed to have sensed the threat as well. He suddenly yelled, "Bastard from the silkwyrm race, remove your silk or I'll be sure to drag you down with me before dying!"

Then, he used more strength and attacked with his saber, willpower, and characters, severing numerous strands of silk. However, that was not enough to free him. As the power within the spear grew more and more intense, the tribulation character started pulsing faster and faster. Noticing that, Su Yu concluded that this was enough. It was highly unlikely that Lei Jue would have enough strength left to escape after releasing an attack of this level.

At that thought, a burst of divine power suddenly rippled out of Su Yu's body. That divine power held a suppressive effect on Lei Jue, causing him to stiffen slightly. That was the power of the first divine race!

The power started gathering the divine power in the air. Then, with the Sky Sundering Saber, a large amount of saber qi was pulled over as well. But that was not enough for Su Yu. He swallowed a drop of blood essence, causing a burst of Mountainsea power to erupt within his body.

"Sky Sundering!"

His roar reverberated in the area.

Finally!

If Lei Jue could survive even this attack, Su Yu would be willing to prostrate himself with admiration. Before the saber attack itself was even released, the surrounding net was already torn apart from the sheer pressure emitted by the blade.

Boom!

Chapter 892: Kill Lei Jue, Run (3)

Restore scroll position

The destruction of the net caused Bisuo to cough a mouthful of blood. Shock covered his eyes.

"Mountainsea..."

Mountainsea! Was this human a Mountainsea? No, first divine...

Sky Sundering Saber…

The silkwyrm was greatly confused. Right at that moment, an incorporeal entity shot into his sea of willpower. He wailed in pain as the invader started dashing all over his sea of willpower.

As for Lei Jue, he had gathered most of his strength in his spear. Noticing the strength Su Yu was emitting, his expression changed.

"This is..."

He didn't have the time to think. With so much power gathered in his spear, he couldn't even run. His only option was to attack and kill Su Yu with a single strike. If he attempted to flee in such a situation, he would definitely die.

"Life Eradicating Lightning!"

With a roar, he released his spear. A blinding spear soared into the sky and illuminated the entire Skyrend Valley. Sounds of rumbling thunder could be heard all over the Skyrend Valley.

Next, a massive saber soared into the sky. The overbearing saber emptied the area several kilometers around it of saber qi. Instantly, the white mist and saber qi covering the area cleared up, revealing the true appearance of the area for the first time in many years.

Coincidentally, Huang Teng was also unleashing his saber attack far away from them at the same time. But when he tried to gather the saber qi of the grotto, he started cursing.

Holy shit!

What the fuck was the other fellow doing? Why was that fellow absorbing so much saber qi? Because of that, all the saber qi in the valley started rushing over to fill the void created by that fellow. Even the prowess of Huang Teng's saber strike dropped by about ten percent due to that.

Opposite Huang Teng, Tianduo was first shocked when he sensed the saber far away from them. But soon, he was relieved. It would seem like not even the heavens were on Huang Teng's side.

Huang Teng did not have the time to think much. He swung his sword and emptied the area around him of saber qi. Similarly, the effect of his saber spread kilometers away. One south and one north, the two humans had instantly absorbed about one-tenth of the saber qi in the valley.

In fact, Su Yu had absorbed much more saber qi than Huang Teng. He was attacking with the strength of a Mountainsea. At that moment, his physical strength went beyond ten thousand acupoints, far beyond even Huang Teng's strength.

Two brilliant sabers soared through the sky.

Su Yu's saber was the bigger and longer one.

Everyone in the valley saw how a lightning spear was cut into two by that saber. Immediately after that, sounds of thunder rang out. The spear might have been broken, but it still managed to release a rain of lightning on Su Yu.

Rumble!

It was time for the lightning character to showcase its power. This was what Su Yu had been waiting for. After advancing into the fourth tier, his lightning character would have the strength of a Mountainsea. Su Yu himself might not be a Mountainsea yet, but his character was still able to dissolve a majority of the lightning hitting him before absorbing the remaining lightning into itself.

Additionally, the lightning character was able to further strengthen itself with the absorbed lightning. Nevertheless, this was still the full-powered attack of a divine near the Mountainsea Realm. Even after being greatly weakened, it still caused Su Yu to cough a mouthful of blood. His skin was also torn open by the lightning blast. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N()velFire.net

And right at that moment, the saber landed. It decimated everything in its path.

Boom!

Sounds of explosions filled the valley. Su Yu had utilized the strength of a Mountainsea and the saber qi of Great Xia King. One could only imagine just how powerful that attack was. Lei Jue was still in the air when his aura faded into nothingness and his sea of willpower collapsed completely.

His eyes were opened wide with disbelief. The lightning symbol on his forehead slowly faded away.

Staring at Su Yu, he said, "Are you...Su Yu?"

He wanted to know the name of his killer. As for Su Yu's ability to utilize the strength of a Mountainsea and the First Divine Art, none of that mattered. Lei Jue was going to die. He only wanted to know the name of his killer.

Su Yu smiled. His hair was standing due to the previous lightning attack. A large hole was visible on his chest. He answered, "Yes. It's me."

Su Yu!

Lei Jue was the strongest opponent he had ever killed. This was someone with the combat strength of a Mountainsea. Since this fellow was going to die, as a kind man, Su Yu naturally had to fulfill his last wish.

After answering the question, Su Yu started praising his kindness for not keeping the truth from his dying opponent. Of course, he was also doing this so that Lei Jue could pass away in peace. It wouldn't be nice if Lei Jue somehow ended up as a ghost and went looking for the real Cui Lang, right?

Lei Jue was satisfied with the answer. Slowly, life faded from his eyes. He had fought in the Allheaven Battlefield for more than ten years. Ultimately, he met his end here in this valley. From the first moment he stepped into the Allheaven Battlefield, he had accepted the possibility that something like this would happen. This was the mindset of all geniuses. Either they rose or they fell. Those were the only possibilities they would accept.

There was nothing to regret. Since Su Yu was more capable than him, he would die. If he was the one to kill Su Yu, it would only mean that he was the more capable one. Such was the life of a genius.

First, Lei Jue's body split into two. Then, the two halves exploded into nothingness. Su Yu reached out and grabbed the falling storage ring. His blood character activated, gathering the blood in the air.

Then, Su Yu coughed a mouthful of blood before swinging his hammer at the nearby silkwyrm. With one hit, the silkwyrm was stunned, giving the furball the chance to finally unleash his assault. Previously, he was in a deadlock with the silkwyrm.

With one bite from the furball, the silkwyrm wailed in pain. Su Yu ignored the fuss beside him. A massive clump of cloud had appeared in the sky. Instantly, the cloud entered his body. This time, he received an incomparably powerful clump of willpower as a reward.

It was not a character, heavenly source qi, or something else. It was willpower.

Su Yu also noted that the saber that had appeared on the other side of the valley seemed to have suddenly dimmed, but he was completely unbothered. Yeah, yeah, Huang Teng was also attacking at the same time. How was that his business? He had to kill his opponent.

It wasn't like Huang Teng would have been able to kill his opponent even without the interference. Also, Su Yu was the one who had drained the divine power to strengthen the saber qi while Huang Teng had not contributed to that. Thus, Su Yu believed that he was entitled to more of the saber qi. He did not feel guilty about interfering with Huang Teng's attack.

His sea of willpower started to absorb the willpower rewarded by the heavens. In the blink of an eye, his willpower started growing in strength. He instantly reached the second-stage Cloudbreach Realm.

Instead of enjoying the advancement, Su Yu hurriedly hammered himself and compressed his willpower. Why advance? After advancement, the heavens would be even stingier with the heavenly rewards. An advancement would only reduce the level he would skip by killing the same opponent by one. How could he allow that? He would remain at the first stage!

He was not done growing his characters. All his characters and apertures were also busy absorbing the rewarded willpower.

Su Yu thus forcefully tempered himself back to the first stage. Despite remaining in the same stage, his strength had actually increased. Suddenly, he swung his saber casually.

The silkwyrm, who was on the verge of complete willpower collapse, was easily cut into two. The little furball was quite impressive for pushing the silkwyrm into such a miserable condition.

With the death of the silkwyrm, the little furball hurriedly shot out of the silkwyrm's sea of willpower and dove into Su Yu's sea of willpower. Once inside, he madly absorbed the rewarded willpower. As far as he was concerned, that was his! Mr. Yummy had promised to pay him back after stealing his willpower earlier!

The little furball absorbed greedily. This time, Su Yu did not stop the little furball. It was true that he had taken from the little furball earlier. He didn't mind repaying some of his debt. Only some. If the little furball dared to get too greedy, he wouldn't hesitate to use his hammer.

Su Yu proceeded to collect the silkwyrm corpse, the threads of silk in the area, and Lei Jue's broken spear. So many treasures! As the area around him had been emptied of saber qi, he was actually able to see outside the valley clearly.

Shortly after, several figures started approaching the area. The weaker ones were naturally not courageous enough to approach. The first person to arrive was a white dragon with nine claws. Long Zhan of the dragon race.

Shortly after, An Mintian arrived as well. He stared at Su Yu from afar.

With a nonchalant smile, Su Yu transformed into a gust of wind and vanished. Neither Long Zhan nor An Mintian gave chase. A grave expression covered their faces.

An Mintian suddenly shouted, "With such a level of Sky Sundering Saber and the ability to unleash the power of a Mountainsea without being a Mountainsea...just who are you? Were you using an ability blood essence? You are not Cui Lang!"

"Ability blood essence?" A genius further away heard that and exclaimed, "Ability blood essence...that is the secret skill of Human Realm's multiple character faction! Or to be specific, Great Xia's multiple character faction!"

That was not Cui Lang. He absolutely wasn't.

At that moment, a certain figure arrived from afar. While flying in the air, that person roared, "Run!"

The newcomer, who was clad in black armor and mounted atop a flying sky tiger, flew toward the Skyrend Valley and added, "Fools. That's Su Yu. Who else could it be?"

What a bunch of fools. It was only a matter of time before that was exposed. Sky Sundering Saber and ability blood essence. Who else could it be? They would know the answer just by asking a random human. Only these fools would continue wondering who that human was.

The youth in black armor did not seem fearful of An Mintian. In fact, he was flying toward An Mintian. And An Mintian fled unhesitatingly. The newcomer was none other than Qin Fang. And he was not a match for Qin Fang.

Even if Qin Fang's cultivation level was a lot lower than his, he was the number one genius of humanity. His offensive prowess was too great. An Mintian had the courage to pursue Huang Teng, but he definitely didn't dare to do the same to Qin Fang.

Qin Fang ignored the fleeing An Mintian. He was merely passing by. When he shouted to run earlier, that was not directed to An Mintian. Rather, it was to a fleeing figure in the distance. Far away from them, Huang Teng blanked out. Since Qin Fang was there, why should they run?

"Kill them! Qin Fang, where are you going?"

"Run!"

Qin Fang shouted once again before increasing his speed. Huang Teng was stunned. He clenched his teeth and dragged Wu Qi off. Why were they running? Holy shit! Couldn't they work together? They were very strong! Also, why was Su Yu running as well? Come back and fight!

More importantly, why the hell were they running westward? That was the direction of the Heavendoom City. Were these people dumb? Why were they running that way? That thought had barely crossed his mind when his expression changed drastically. Like Qin Fang, he urgently increased his speed and ran westward.

The human geniuses were fleeing one after another, but the people in the valley didn't dare to give chase. Every one of these human geniuses was capable of killing Mountainseas. They did not have the courage to challenge such opponents.

As for why those humans were running...

The people in the valley were confused as well. In fact, Tianduo and An Mintian had been worried that these humans would join hands against them. That would put them in a lot of trouble. But surprisingly, all the humans had fled instead.

But immediately after, they understood why.

A different individual with long, purple hair had arrived.

"Mo Duona!"

Someone trembled. Mo Duona, number one on the Heaven Index! Finally, they understood. Why was Qin Fang running? Because Mo Duona was behind him.

Huang Teng was also crying without tears. Holy shit! He finally understood why Qin Fang was absent from the valley. Holy shit. How did that fellow get involved with Mo Duona? That fellow had killed a seventh-stage Mountainsea before. No human below the Mountainsea Realm could be his match.

That was someone who had killed a seventh-stage Mountainsea as a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. Even Bai Tianhao had only killed a seventh-stage Mountainsea as a ninth-stage Cloudbreach with his life as the price. Meanwhile, Mo Duona was completely fine after killing that seventh-stage Mountainsea. And this fellow had probably reached the eighth or ninth stage by now.

It was rumored that after killing the Mountainsea, he received an earth weapon as the heavenly reward. The weapon was incomparably powerful. They stood no chance against this opponent. What could they do but run?

As for Su Yu, it wasn't too surprising that he was running as well. After his previous saber strike, he had almost emptied his strength. His sole option was to run. And perhaps he had somehow sensed the approaching crisis in the east. Thus, he was also running westward.

Reality proved that he made the right choice. Initially, he wanted to run eastward and return to the human territory. But right after he started moving eastward, his tribulation character pulsed madly. Alarmed, he could only move westward while gloomily wondering about the reason. Lei Jue was dead. Why couldn't he head east?

High in the sky.

With a casual glance at the spot Lei Jue was killed, Mo Duona smiled and asked, "Lei Jue is dead. An Mintian, who did it?"

"Cui...no, S-Su Yu..."

An Mintian was quite nervous. He was a second-stage divine, but he was actually so nervous before a seventh-stage Cloudbreach devil. Something like this had never happened before.

"Su Yu?"

Mo Duona recalled something when he heard that name and laughed, "Interesting. Huang Teng, Su Yu, and Qin Fang. All of them are here. Let's take a look. As long as we kill all of them, the human race will lose the foundation of an entire generation."

Leaving those words behind, he continued flying westward. Could the humans escape him?

Silence descended.

Everyone was still trying to process what they just learned.

Lei Jue was dead. The killer was Cui Lang. No, it was Su Yu. Qin Fang had arrived, but he fled faster than anyone. Why? Because Mo Duona was behind him. Tianduo had failed to kill Huang Teng. And the saber qi in the Skyrend Valley had dropped considerably in intensity. Perhaps this valley would stop being a danger zone after this.

At the same time, some of them finally noticed the changes in the index.

Cui Lang, first-stage Cloudbreach, fifth on the Earth Index.

Past accomplishments: Killing a ninth-stage Cloudbreach

Fifth on the Earth Index!

But that was if that human was really Cui Lang. What if it was Su Yu?

Everyone realized that the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had yet to verify the identity of that human. Or to be precise, not even the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion knew if Cui Lang was Su Yu. Otherwise, with a single change of age, the ranking would change drastically.

"Humans...divines...devils..."

Some of the geniuses started leaving hastily. This was not an affair they could participate in. Even the freak from the Heaven Index was here. This was too terrifying. Neither Qin Fang nor Mo Duona was an opponent regular Mountainseas could afford to challenge. Even Huang Teng was not an easy opponent.

And now, a mysterious human had also emerged. This was a super genius who had killed Lei Jue. Even the geniuses who had freshly entered the Mountainsea Realm were starting to get wary of him.

All those freaks were heading westward, where several ancient cities stood.

Chapter 893: Su Yu's Name (1)

Restore scroll position

The human geniuses had all left. The Skyrend Valley had been semi-crippled. The number one expert in the Heaven Index, Mo Duona, was chasing after them. The people in the area had yet to recover from their shock.

One of them looked at the dragon in the sky and said, "Lord Long Zhan, is that human really Cui Lang?"

They were unfamiliar with both Su Yu and Cui Lang. But there were still some obvious differences between the two. Just moments ago, someone had said that Su Yu was less than twenty years old. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novｅlfire.net

That made all the difference in the world. Cui Lang was thirty-five. Su Yu was less than twenty. According to how the Heavenly Hunt Index worked, Su Yu would be qualified to at least ascend to the very top of the Earth Index after killing Lei Jue.

Huang Teng had once killed a second-stage Mountainsea as a fifth-stage Cloudbreach. But he was twenty-eight. He was nine years older than Su Yu. Furthermore, Lei Jue was someone who had once killed a first-stage Mountainsea. Thus, as far as the index was concerned, Lei Jue could also be considered a Mountainsea.

Su Yu could either take first place in the Earth Index or enter the Heaven Index and squeeze Qin Fang out if Cui Lang was really Su Yu.

Long Zhan ignored the question and continued staring into the distance. As a genius of the celestial dragon race, he was a first-stage Mountainsea capable of killing someone above his level. He once killed a sixth-stage Mountainsea. But that did not place him too high in the index. He was only able to reach the eleventh place of the Earth Index.

The index took a lot of aspects into considerating when ranking the names in it. Strength alone would not be enough to place one in the index. Otherwise, Mo Duona wouldn't have ended up with a higher rank than Zhan Wushuang, who was only ranked second in the Heaven Index. That was someone who had killed a Sunmoon as an eighth-stage Mountainsea.

Long Zhan was an arrogant person. But today, after witnessing how all these freaks were capable of killing opponents above them like it was a game, he had a slight feeling of helplessness. He once killed a sixth-stage Mountainsea. He wasn't weak, right? Even if the opponent was a seventh-stage Mountainsea, he was still capable of putting up a fight.

But Mo Duona was capable of killing a seventh-stage Mountainsea as a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. Not even Long Zhan was a match for Mo Duona. An Mintian wouldn't have been so nervous around Mo Duona otherwise.

In fact, even Tianduo of the original devil race, who was absolutely not weak, could only shut his mouth before Mo Duona. Backgrounds were irrelevant here.

"Su Yu..."

While Long Zhan was deep in thought, Tianduo was looking in Mo Duona's direction with complicated eyes. That was his goal. A goal that he might not be able to reach even after a lifetime.

Leaving the Devil Realm, entering the Plain of Desires, and hunting Huang Teng. Everything he did had been for the sake of fame and strength. To close the gap between him and Mo Duona.

And yet…

He looked around him. There were only three survivors, Mo Erba, Lan Ying, and the three-eyed devil. The others were dead. All that sacrifice for nothing. They had gained nothing from this valley.

Meanwhile, all by himself, Mo Duona had forced the three greatest geniuses of humanity to flee. No, there was also Wu Qi with them. The young geniuses of humanity were left with no choice but to run. All because Mo Duona was here.

That was what dominance looked like.

Mo Duona had achieved that in such a carefree manner. Just like Mo Duona, Tianduo was an original devil as well. But apart from injuring Huang Teng and Wu Qi, he failed to achieve anything except losing the lives of his companions.

All the geniuses in the valley were deep in thought.

At that moment, a little golden dragon shot out from the crack in the ground and asked loudly, "Who's Su Yu?"

He really had no idea. In fact, even Cui Lang was a name he had never heard before. And he was not the only person there who didn't recognize that name. Suddenly, a masked individual appeared far away. On the mask was a picture of the sky split into two.

"A bastard from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion!"

The geniuses turned wary. They began to stir.

The expert from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion spoke in an ethereal voice, "Everyone, there is no need to view me with such hostility. You're all curious about Su Yu. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is curious as well. Perhaps you don't know much about Su Yu. Let me provide an explanation.

"A member of Human Realm's Great Xia. Nineteen. He entered the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy at eighteen. He joined the multiple character faction after entering the academy. He was only at the Source Opening Realm when he first joined. His teacher is Bai Feng. Perhaps you don't know Bai Feng as well. But Su Yu was also a student of Liu Wenyan during his time in secondary school. That is a familiar name for everyone here, right?"

Everyone was surprised to hear that. Yes, that was a name they knew. That was quite a famous name. Sure, Liu Wenyan had never entered the Heavenly Hunt Index. But his teacher was known by all.

Ye Batian, fifth principal of Great Xia Cultural Research Academy.

Someone who had killed Invincibles as a Sunmoon.

He stayed at the top of the Heavenly Hunt Index for twenty years until he was disqualified due to age. He entered the index at twenty and reached the top in two years. He fought in countless battles. Nobody was able to kill him during his reign in the index.

"Ye Batian's grandstudent!"

The people were shocked. This was more shocking than seeing an Invincible descendant. Invincibles weren't too rare, but Ye Batian was the only person to have ever killed an Invincible as a Sunmoon.

Sure, he was not the only Sunmoon capable of fighting Invincibles. But he was the only person who had won and killed his opponent. One might be able to survive an encounter with an Invincible. One might even prevail over an Invincible. But that did not mean that one could kill an Invincible.

Ye Batian was the sole Sunmoon capable of that feat. Even the biggest genius in existence would find that feat hard to replicate. One needed to be undisputedly stronger than regular Invincibles to actually achieve such a feat.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion member said, "In less than half a year, Su Yu reached the first place in Great Xia Cultural Research Academy's Top 100 Ranking after killing the previous number one student."

So that was a ruthless individual as well. Great Xia Cultural Research Academy was still a rather famous name among these geniuses, even if a ranking below the Skysoar Realm was nothing for them.

"Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Su Yu defected from Great Xia. On the Starfall Mountain of the Human Realm, he schemed multiple Sunmoons and Mountainseas to death. With his own hands, he killed a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. All that happened half a year after he joined the academy."

Once again, the crowd gasped with admiration. Even the little golden dragon was stupefied.

The shock was so great that he didn't even remember he was talking to someone from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. He hurriedly asked, "He schemed Sunmoons to death before?"

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion member answered, "He didn't kill those Sunmoons himself. He lured them to attack him. In order to recruit him, Zhu Tiandao of Great Ming personally killed Jin Yuhui of the single character faction, willingly offending the faction for Su Yu's sake.

"Then, Su Yu entered the Great Ming Cultural Research Academy. First, he released the famous Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art, Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art, Source Soul Cultural Art, and so on. He founded the Source Soul Research Center. A few months ago, he defeated a top genius of humanity, Shan Xiong."

"Shan Xiong?" Someone exclaimed in shock, "That fellow entered the Allheaven Battlefield before. He's in the index as well, right?"

"Yes. Ninth on the Yellow Index. He left shortly after."

"..."

Shan Xiong was a known name. He had fought and killed geniuses in the Allheaven Battlefield before. But he returned not long after. With such a short stay, he managed to climb to the ninth place of the Yellow Index. One could only imagine how talented and strong he was.

"A few months ago, Su Yu defeated and nearly killed Shan Xiong. A top human expert, Zhou Polong, personally appeared to save Shan Xiong. During the battle, Su Yu detonated 144 acupoints and suffered a grave injury. It is rumored that he has been in seclusion since then. Principal Niu Baidao of the Great Ming Cultural Research Academy personally served as his dao protector during his seclusion. Cui Lang...is an unofficial student of Principal Niu Baidao."

The curious golden dragon asked, "What did you mean by that? Detonated 144 acupoints?"

"Oh, was it unclear?" The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion member laughed, "Su Yu has opened more than 300 acupoints. Perhaps he has opened 360 acupoints. Nobody knows the exact number. It is also rumored that he has opened more than 100 apertures. And he has probably fused more than 20 characters. Of course, nobody knows the exact number..."

"All that...in a year?"

Once again, everyone was stunned. It would be a lot more acceptable if it was ten years. A genius of that level was not too rare. But one year was too unbelievable.

"Yes. One year." The masked man laughed and added, "Actually, we are twenty days short. He entered the academy on the 1st of August of the Human Anping Calendar. Currently, it's the 6th of July in the Human Realm."

"..."

Silence descended.

Someone muttered, "Invincible ruin?"

"Yes." The masked man said, "That is very likely. It is rumored that Su Yu's current accomplishments are all due to the ruin he found in the past. Even so, his accomplishments are still incredible."

An Invincible ruin alone would not guarantee success. Luck and talent were still very important. Which genius had never gotten lucky before? Would someone with zero fortuitous encounters even be considered a genius?

One could only say that Su Yu's luck was too good if he really had an Invincible ruin. Luck was widely accepted as one of the criteria to evaluate a genius. Nobody with sufficient luck would be considered a genius.

With that explanation, the people there had a clearer image of Su Yu.

Chapter 894: Su Yu's Name (2)

Restore scroll position

The little golden dragon said, "He's Su Yu!"

The golden dragon was nearby when Su Yu was killing Lei Jue. In his final moments, Lei Jue had asked Su Yu if he was really Su Yu. The little golden dragon heard everything. That human was Su Yu. A nineteen-year-old Su Yu.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion member hurriedly asked, "Lord Wuyou, are you sure?"

"You can believe whatever you want. As far as I'm concerned, that's Su Yu."

The golden dragon couldn't be bothered to explain himself. All of them looked west. Some of them were tempted to give chase as well. Right at that moment, the entire area shook. Around eight geniuses had launched a sudden attack on the masked man. Since the explanation was over, it was time to send this man to the afterlife.

Every member of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was a talented expert. This was essentially free food for them. If they could kill this person, the heavenly reward would definitely be generous.

In fact, even Long Zhan, An Mintian, and Tianduo were attacking. Not even a sixth-stage Mountainsea could survive the joint attack of so many geniuses. Even a seventh-stage Mountainsea would have a hard time facing them. After all, these were the geniuses from the top 10 races.

The masked man merely smiled. Yes, his face was covered. But for some reason, everyone knew that he was smiling.

A beam of light dropped from the sky. By the time the beam faded, the mask man was already gone. His voice resounded in the area, "The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is always accepting new members. Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, the provider of all sorts of services and the most accurate source of information in the Allheaven Battlefield."

The expressions of Tianduo and the others changed. An Mintian exclaimed in shock, "Was that an Invincible? An Invincible had personally picked him up! Damn it! There is an Invincible in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, after all!"

Disbelief filled his voice. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was not a race. It was only an organization. But that was an organization with at least one Invincible. And the Invincible was an active one. At the very least, they were active enough to personally collect a member who was in danger.

Tianduo coldly said, "That's not surprising. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion has been around for too long. It was already around at the very beginning of the Allheaven Battlefield. In fact, the name of this organization can even be found in the ancient records of the devils. Perhaps it is as old as the Allheaven Battlefield itself, an existence that had been around for countless years."

The devil race had an extremely long history. But the name of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion could be traced even in the oldest records of the devil race. Thus, this was an organization that had been able to survive since ancient times. That was a terrifying thought.

Tianduo said, "But how dare their Invincible make a move? How audacious!"

Rumble!

A thundering sound erupted abruptly. Neither Tianduo nor An Mintian were surprised.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was getting too brazen.

The action of their Invincible had been detected by some other Invincibles in the Allheaven Battlefield. And those Invincibles naturally wouldn't let go of this chance. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was an extremely mysterious organization. Since one of their Invincibles had finally appeared, the Invincibles of the myriad races would naturally not allow that Invincible to leave.

The rumbling sounds continued for a few moments before silence returned. Nobody knew the result of that clash. They only knew that no Invincible had perished. The death of an Invincible was capable of causing a ruckus that could be sensed in the entirety of the Allheaven Battlefield.

During the birth of an Invincible, one would create brilliant rays that would spread thousands of kilometers. Meanwhile, the death of an Invincible would create a much bigger spectacle. No Invincibles had perished in recent years. But several decades ago, there was a time when three Invincibles had perished in a single day. That incident shocked the entire Myriad Realms.

Soon, the young geniuses tossed the matter out of their minds. The battle between Invincibles wasn't something they should worry about. One of them checked the index and noted that Cui Lang's position was still the same.

"The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion has yet to verify his identity."

It was obvious. The contents of the index would definitely change after his identity was verified. Su Yu was not the first person to have entered the Allheaven Battlefield with a different identity. But most people would expose themselves promptly. After all, there were too many battles in the Allheaven Battlefield. And it was too easy for one to expose one's identity during one of these battles.

The only solution was to silence all witnesses or kill when there was nobody around to serve as a witness, but that was almost impossible. It was only a matter of time before one was exposed.

Tianduo wasn't bothered by that. He continued staring westward. After a while, he exhaled lightly and said, "Why don't we take a look as well. There are several ancient cities to the west. Those humans might enter these cities for protection."

Beyond those cities, the humans would find themselves in the central sector. That was the territory of the demonic beasts. There, the experts of the older generation might be tempted to move against them. After all, these young humans had entered their territory. Why wouldn't they make a move?

In any case, that place was not the Plain of Desires. There, these young geniuses would not be protected by the mysterious power in the Plain of Desires that would make it impossible for those of the senior generation to find them. Thus, it was very likely that those humans would seek refuge in the ancient cities.

"Ancient cities? Is that possible?" Someone exclaimed fearfully, "It's never a good idea to enter those ancient cities. Those damn cities are too strange. Only those from the minor races, escaped prisoners, or vagrants will willingly enter those cities."

The so-called vagrants were essentially the people of destroyed realms. With no home to return to, they had to start living in the Allheaven Battlefield. These ancient cities were one of the places they would live in.

But these ancient cities were too strange. Generally, the geniuses and experts of the major races would avoid entering these cities. That allowed some minor race experts to actually take over these cities and rule as the mayor.

It was also worth noting that most Invincibles would also avoid entering these ancient cities. Thus, Sunmoons reigned supreme in these cities. As for the reason for that, these young geniuses were unaware. The Invincibles had never given them an explanation.

Most of the time, these ancient cities would only be mentioned in passing to their juniors. And most of the time, the Invincibles would only advise their juniors to spend as little time in these ancient cities as possible. They would also warn their juniors to be very cautious and not create trouble when they were inside the ancient cities. Bad things would happen to all troublemakers.

These ancient cities could be found not only in the Plain of Desires. For example, there were a few of them in the Sea of Stars as well. And every single one of them was extremely strange.

With an indifferent expression, Tianduo said, "Since we have decided to enter the Allheaven Battlefield, we can naturally enter the ancient cities if others can enter them as well."

It would be too big of a regret if they didn't experience an ancient city at least once. Furthermore, Mo Duona and those humans might end up entering the ancient cities. If those geniuses had the courage to enter these cities, why should they be afraid? Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⁂fire.net

After saying that, Tianduo soared into the sky and flew away. As he moved, the flame symbol on his forehead shone even brighter than before. He was not as calm as before.

Mo Duona!

He would never stop trying to surpass Mo Duona. Nobody could understand the sorrow of the other geniuses in the original devil race to be born in the same generation as Mo Duona.

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu was moving as fast as he could, draining his willpower and source qi at a rapid pace. His willpower was still in decent shape thanks to the heavenly reward. As for his source qi, he was desperately absorbing heavenly source qi to keep up with his expenditure.

This was very wasteful. But Su Yu was in a good mood. He felt great after the battle. His gloominess from before had faded away. The pressure of the battle had also further strengthened his physical body. Even his characters were showing signs of advancement. For example, his battle and tribulation characters were already on the verge of a breakthrough.

This was why the young geniuses of the myriad races enjoyed battling so much. They would be rewarded for killing their opponents on top of tempering themselves for further growth. One would never become a true expert by only cultivating in seclusion.

At this point, Su Yu had collected quite a number of storage rings. He nonchalantly took out Lei Jue's storage ring and sure enough, there was an index in it. He took it out and flipped it open.

He found himself in the index.

"Fifth on Earth Index..."

First on Earth Index was Huang Teng, someone who had killed a second-stage Mountainsea as a fifth-stage Cloudbreach before.

Second on Earth Index was an expert from the immortal race, someone who had killed a ninth-stage Cloudbreach as a ninth-stage Skysoar before. This was a terrifying individual.

Third on Earth Index was someone who had killed a first-stage Mountainsea as a third-stage Cloudbreach before.

Fourth on the Earth Index was someone who had killed a seventh-stage Mountainsea as a fourth-stage Mountainsea.

Su Yu's name came next, with his accomplishment of killing a ninth-stage Cloudbreach as a first-stage Cloudbreach.

This index did not measure only one's strength. It took a lot of factors into consideration. Above Su Yu was someone who had killed a seventh-stage Mountainsea before, but that person was already a fourth-stage Mountainsea.

From this index, it was clear just how many geniuses there were out there. For these geniuses, killing someone above their level was akin to a game.

Su Yu continued running while looking behind him. He was very curious. Just what was so dangerous over there? His tribulation character had been pulsing like it had gone crazy. Was it broken?

The character had been telling him that extreme danger was coming behind him. But his Perception Jade had not detected anything within one kilometer. Alas, that was too short of a range. He heard the loud rumble earlier as well, but he had instantly tossed the matter out of his mind.

He could sense that those explosions were caused by individuals far beyond his level. In that case, what was the point of thinking about them? Furthermore, those explosions had erupted somewhere extremely far away.

Some Invincibles were probably fighting. But that had nothing to do with him. This was the Allheaven Battlefield. What was so surprising about a fight between Invincibles? Nobody would be shocked as long as no Invincible was killed.

Fights were as common as eating here in the Allheaven Battlefield. Only an event where Invincibles were killed would be considered a major event. And nothing like that had happened in the past fifty years.

"What's behind me? What's so dangerous?"

Su Yu was getting tired of running aimlessly like this. He had just killed Lei Jue. He was planning to kill some other geniuses when his tribulation character forced him to change his plan and start running.

Was Huang Teng dead? Unlikely. His name was still in the index. Even Wu Qi was still alive. Since those fellows were all still alive, should he stop running? That thought had barely crossed his mind when his tribulation character went crazy again. Clearly, it was telling him to keep running. Stopping was the same as dying.

"Fuck!"

Su Yu was feeling very gloomy. He was so strong. Even Lei Jue wasn't his match. Why should he run? Just what was going on? Was an Invincible looking for him? That wasn't possible, right?

But he was already strong enough to fight Mountainseas. What manner of an enemy could be so dangerous for him? At that moment, he saw a figure appearing far behind him. That individual was running madly. He hurriedly turned into wind and concealed himself.

That person continued moving ahead. Su Yu found that the nearer that person was, the faster his tribulation character pulsed. Was this the source of danger? Was this person stronger than him?

From afar, Su Yu could see that the newcomer was very fast. In fact, that person was even slightly faster than him. That person wouldn't have been able to catch up to him otherwise. Then again, Su Yu had not been running at his full speed.

Someone this fast would definitely not be weak. But was this person so dangerous?

Suddenly, the mount of the newcomer roared. The newcomer, a youth in black armor, blanked out slightly before asking, "Who's the friend ahead of me? Is it Su Yu?"

"..."

Inwardly, Su Yu shouted that he was Cui Lang, not Su Yu!

Damn it! Why was everyone aware that he had entered the Allheaven Battlefield?

"Whatever. It doesn't matter. Start running for your life. That madman Mo Duona is coming. I'm Qin Fang. Bye."

Then, Qin Fang started moving in a different direction. Mo Duona was coming. Su Yu blanked out slightly.

It was him! Number one on the Heaven Index!

While fleeing rapidly, Qin Fang's voice rang out again, "Good luck. Maybe you can try hiding in an ancient city. But don't stay more than three days inside. Otherwise, bad luck will befall you."

Then, he vanished into the distance. Su Yu slowed down slightly. And as expected, he saw more people madly running in his direction not long after.

"Huang Teng?"

Su Yu did not reveal himself, but his voice rang out. Huang Teng blanked out slightly and hurriedly said, "Are you Su Yu or Cui Lang?"

Without waiting for an answer, he hurriedly said, "Whatever. Run! Shit! Madman Mo Duona is coming! Run! Find an ancient city and hide. Good luck. Remember to not stay more than three days. Bye."

"..."

Holy shit!

Both Huang Teng and Qin Fang had said the same thing.

Mo Duona was coming.

Hide in an ancient city.

Leave within three days.

Chapter 895: Su Yu's Name (3)

Su Yu ignored Huang Teng and looked at Wu Qi who was being carried by Huang Teng. She was unconscious. Clearly, her injuries were very heavy. After noticing him, Qin Fang had moved to his right while Huang Teng had moved to his left.

After thinking about it, Su Yu started following Huang Teng, moving at a rapid speed. When Huang Teng sensed that someone was following him, he sped up again, running like his life depended on it.

Su Yu had no choice but to send a voice transmission, "It's me. How's Wu Qi?"

"I know it's you." Huang Teng maintained his speed and scolded, "Go away! Don't follow me! Qin Fang is in the Heaven Index. If you're Su Yu, you will be entering the Heaven Index soon as well. I'm only in the Earth Index. Leave me alone. Don't drag me down with you. I know, I know, my bad for beating your teacher up in the past. I'm sorry. Please stop following me."

The unspoken meaning was very clear. Both Qin Fang and Su Yu were the main targets of Mo Duona. Huang Teng would only be target number three. Thus, the number one and two targets should stay far away from him.

Su Yu was momentarily stunned at the implication. He then replied furiously, "You're the one who should avoid dragging me down! Can you even escape Mo Duona? How's Wu Qi?"

"So there's really something between you two! Fuck! That's rude of you. She's the goddess of my generation. Even your teacher once chased after her skirt. How could you..."

"..." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel⁂fire.net

Was this really Huang Teng? Su Yu was going crazy. He was speaking seriously, but this fellow was thinking about something like that? Was this supposed to be the person Great Xia had placed high hopes on? Was this the second coming of Xia Longwu?

Was this a joke? Was this a top human genius? Was this Bai Feng's greatest rival? Su Yu was starting to feel exhausted. He was simply asking about Wu Qi's condition. Why did this fellow's mind stray so far away?

Finally, Huang Teng replied, "It's fine. She's only dying. It's normal here in the Allheaven Battlefield. As long as we can outrun our opponent, we'll live. If we fail to outrun our opponent, we'll die later even if we're alive now."

"Mo Duona is only a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. We can join hands..."

"Stop messing around, Brat." Huang Teng said, "Do you know what's the significance behind seventh-stage Mountainsea? The weakest of them has the strength of a hundred thousand acupoints. Take note. That's the weakest of them. A cultural researcher would be even stronger. Imagine someone capable of killing such an existence. What do you know, boy? Even the cooperation of me and Qin Fang won't be enough. What will change with your inclusion?"

Just run. Why waste time talking?

Joining hands to kill Mo Duona? Perhaps they could talk about that after all of them were at least seventh or eighth-stage Cloudbreaches. For now, he was still a fifth-stage Cloudbreach while Qin Fang was only a sixth-stage Cloudbreach.

Qin Fang had killed a third-stage Mountainsea before while he had killed a second-stage Mountainsea before. Both of them were super geniuses. But they were not a match for this opponent. That was someone who had defeated an opponent with the strength of at least a hundred thousand acupoints.

With that, Su Yu finally understood why they were acting like this. How terrifying. Such an existence had more than ten times his physical strength. And the combat power of such a person would definitely be more than that. He finally understood.

He wasted no time and tossed a storage ring over. "I have some heavenly source qi and a body regrow art in there. Don't steal anything. It's for Wu Qi. Tell her I saved her. Don't always think that she's better than me."

Then, he activated his wind character and sped off.

Run! He would run alone. If they stayed together, it would make Mo Duona's job much easier. Huang Teng might be afraid that he would drag them down. But Su Yu was also afraid of being dragged down by them.

It was nice to be alone! He could freely transform into wind or water. His pseudo earth shoes were also increasing his speed. He even opened his yang acupoint partially to flee. That was not someone he could beat.

Number one on the Heaven Index. It would be wise for him to stay away. That was someone not even Qin Fang and Huang Teng could defeat when working together. He was most certainly not a match for that person.

He would stand no chance before reaching at least forty body forgings. That was the bare minimum he needed to fight such an opponent. At forty body forgings, he would have the strength of more than eighty thousand acupoints. Coupled with his willpower, characters, and semi-opened yang acupoint, a fight was possible. For now, he shouldn't even think of it. He had only completed fourteen body forgings.

He started calculating. If he could cultivate quickly and complete a body forging every ten days, that would still take him about nine months. At that thought, Su Yu increased his pace. He even started praying that Mo Duona would chase after Qin Fang or Huang Teng instead of him.

But he wasn't too worried about either of them. Everyone in the Allheaven Battlefield had their own trump cards. If not...well, what could they do but embrace death? If one wasn't capable enough, one had no business entering the Allheaven Battlefield.

The three human geniuses continued fleeing in three different directions. They had reached an understanding without even communicating with each other. Since they wouldn't be a match even if they worked together, they might as well stay apart to prevent dying together.

Only a fool would make such a choice. By splitting up, even if Mo Duona could kill one of them, it was unlikely for him to be able to kill the other two.

***

And thus, Su Yu began a life on the run not one minute after killing Lei Jue. He did not even get to savor the joy of having defeated such a strong opponent before he was forced to run.

At the same time.

Human territory.

Once again, Marquis Xia received an update from the front lines. He couldn't resist standing up and cursing, "I thought that kid was the biggest troublemaker around, but instead, it was Qin Fang. Damn you, Qin Fang!"

Qin Fang had actually led Mo Duona their way. That bastard was an even bigger troublemaker than Su Yu!

Then, Marquis Xia muttered, "Sigh. Isn't that Lei Jue a tad bit too weak? Is the lightning divine race dying?"

He couldn't help but comfort himself that way after learning of what Su Yu did. How terrifying. Just how many days had it been? The kid had already achieved a feat like killing Lei Jue? Was this a joke?

Huang Teng could probably defeat Lei Jue as well. He might even be able to kill Lei Jue. But it wouldn't be easy. No matter what, Lei Jue was someone who had killed a Mountainsea before. But how old was Huang Teng? And how old was Su Yu? How much longer had Huang Teng been cultivating?

Marquis Xia was suddenly feeling very tired.

Beside him, the old madam of Wu Family asked, "Is that really Su Yu?"

According to the information they received, Qin Fang had claimed that Cui Lang was Su Yu. Qin Fang didn't know Su Yu, but there must be a reason for him to say that.

"No!"

Marquis Xia denied it. They had to be careful lest even Invincibles started getting involved. For now, the Invincibles wouldn't make a move since there was still no confirmation. After all, the movement of even one Invincible could potentially trigger a battle between Invincibles.

Marquis Xia knew that was Su Yu, but he absolutely couldn't verify the information. With actual verification, massive trouble would ensue.

Old Madam Wu nodded and said, "What a loyal and affectionate young lad. He put himself in such danger for the sake of Little Qi. Sigh. I suppose he's good enough for Little Qi."

"..."

Marquis Xia stared at the old woman with stupefaction. What?

"Old Madam...uhm...Wu Qi is older than him. Furthermore, that kid doesn't seem too happy with our Great Xia..."

"His issue is with Xia Family, not our Wu Family."

Old Madam Wu stared at Marquis Xia doubtfully. Su Yu had no issue with the Wu Family. In fact, the Wu Family was very close to the multiple character faction. Just look at her daughter and that bastard called Liu Wenyan.

As for her great-granddaughter, the younger of the two had personally followed that brat to Great Ming. Thus, Su Yu's problem with Great Xia had nothing to do with their Wu Family. Furthermore, his biggest issue with Great Xia stemmed from the circumstances surrounding the multiple character faction. But the multiple character faction was very close to their Wu Family. This fatty should understand that.

Marquis Xia asked with a stiff tone, "Your Little Lan..."

Old Madam Wu nodded. Yeap. She was with Su Yu as well. There was no need for Old Madam Wu to play matchmaker for the Wu sisters. But Wu Lan was too weak. She could die easily just from her association with a super genius like Su Yu. But Wu Qi had the potential to be a super expert. Thus, it was much safer for her to be with Su Yu. She did not fear danger since she herself was a heroine who had emerged amid danger.

As for the possibility of Su Yu dying before reaching his potential...

Old Madam Wu understood the risk. But the women of Wu would regret nothing even if their love could only bloom for a single moment. She knew the women of Wu too well. Getting married to a regular person and living a regular life as a regular wife...That was not the life they sought. The women of Wu would either stay single or pick a super genius as their partner. Even with death as the price, they would shine brilliantly while they could.

As far as Old Madam Wu was concerned, no other man was worthy of that talented great granddaughter of hers. As for Huang Teng, that brat was too flippant. Most of the time, she pretended he didn't exist. That damn brat greatly resembled the damn fatty standing in front of her. She had only met that brat once, but she immediately disliked him. It didn't matter how talented that brat was.

Suddenly, Marquis Xia sensed some disdain coming from the old madam. His face turned gloomy. Why was this old woman looking at him like that? Then again, back then, he did try to court Wu Yuehua. As a result, he was insulted by Wu Yuehua and beaten by the old madam. The entire Wu Family was filled with assholes.

And now, the old madam had actually set her eyes on Su Yu. Marquis Xia found himself completely speechless.

Chapter 896: Entering The Heaven Index Before The Ancient City (1)

Moving like the wind, Su Yu was traveling rapidly. His tribulation character was still pulsing madly. He couldn't help but curse inwardly. Did Mo Duona pick him out of the three humans? Was he really so unlucky? Why wasn't Mo Duona going after Qin Fang instead?

He had been transforming into multiple elements while fleeing, such as earth to get through hills, water to get over bodies of water, and wood when traveling through thickets. Even so, his tribulation character was still pulsing rapidly. He was already fleeing with all his strength. But it didn't seem like he was able to shake his pursuer off.

At the same time.

The purple-haired Mo Duona was striding forward on thin air, looking as carefree as he was on a stroll in the park.

Was this arrogance? No. This was merely confidence. The confidence of someone who had killed a seventh-stage Mountainsea before. The confidence of someone who had grown even stronger since then. The human geniuses were still quite far away from him.

He was strong enough to stay alive even against peak Mountainseas. As for Sunmoons, he only needed to worry about those from the human race. Demonic beast and divine Sunmoons wouldn't dare to actually kill him.

After all, the divines and devils still needed to join hands against the humans. In fact, the demonic beasts had also been thinking of joining this anti-human alliance as of late as well.

"Su Yu?"

He continued striding ahead, wondering if the person in front of him was Su Yu. Qin Fang and Huang Teng were familiar faces in the Allheaven Battlefield. He was already bored with them. Unless the two reached the seventh or eighth-stage of the Cloudbreach Realm, they would not be able to even put up a fight against him.

For Mo Duona, fighting opponents who were actually a match to him was a pleasure. As for the possibility of actually losing and dying, so be it. How could one hope to affirm one's dao if one couldn't even stand atop one's peers?

Without the ability to surpass everyone in his generation, he wouldn't be able to reach the level of people like Great Xia King even if he managed to affirm his dao. What was the point of growing into a weak Invincible?

Thus, Mo Duona was more interested in experiencing the strength of newcomers. For example, this human who might be Cui Lang or Su Yu. How strong was that human? Wouldn't a new target be a lot more interesting than the two old faces?

"Heavendoom City."

The imposing and vast city was visible even from afar. Ancient and mysterious, as though it was a city that had stood since the beginning of time. Such ancient cities could be found all over the Allheaven Battlefield.

Mo Duona had entered a different ancient city before. There, he had stumbled upon some fortuitous encounters. Naturally, he had also encountered some dangers there.

"Ancient city...Heavendoom."

With a deep look in his eyes, he gazed at the distant city and smiled. Were Su Yu and the other humans thinking of entering these ancient cities? These ancient cities might not be the safe havens they were looking for.

In fact, for the human geniuses, these ancient cities might be even more dangerous than Mo Duona. It was common knowledge that the more talented one was, the more dangerous an ancient city would be to them.

This was the Allheaven Battlefield. One could say that this place existed for the sake of the various young geniuses. Here, they would met countless dangers. But after surviving the dangers, they would also be rewarded accordingly. Thus, this was also a place for geniuses to grow as fast as they could.

Mo Duona continued moving ahead while wondering if Su Yu would enter the Heavendoom City. He was unsure, but he decided to enter the Heavendoom City regardless of Su Yu's decision. Since fate had brought him here, he might as well take a look. That way, he wouldn't have traveled all the way to the Plain of Desires for nothing.

Initially, he did not plan to enter the Plain of Desires. This place was only suitable for geniuses below the high-stage Mountainsea Realm. Any stronger and one would find themselves losing their way randomly.

There were other places for those with higher cultivation levels to explore and train. Mo Duona was still not a Sunmoon, but he preferred going to the places that would be frequented by Sunmoons. That was the only way he could experience the thrill of life and death. Here in the Plain of Desires, he might as well be an Invincible.

***

Su Yu saw the same ancient city Mo Duona was looking at.

Even from far away, he could feel a wild aura of desolation from that city. But at the same time, the city also looked magnificent. Su Yu approached the city cautiously while his tribulation character continued pulsing. The pulses weren't too strong, indicating that the danger wasn't too big. The city was massive, giving one the illusion that it would never end.

Su Yu also noted that for some reason, this was a city with a large number of city gates. Only one of the city walls was visible to him, but multiple city gates could be seen on it.

Su Yu started hesitating. Should he enter? What was the process? Would they inspect his identity? This was the Allheaven Battlefield. How did such a massive city come into existence here? Even in the core human territory, there was only a small Eastpart City that was more like a town than a city. Behind the Eastpart City were countless military bases.

The first thing to catch Su Yu's eyes was the simple yet ancient word hanging on the city wall.

Heavendoom.

It was not written in the human language. Nor was it written in the divine or devil language. It was not any of the languages Su Yu had learned before. But for some reason, he was able to read it. The word seemed to have been written in a unique script similar to Divine Characters. After all, one would automatically gain an understanding of the Divine Characters they form.

"Divine Character..."

Yes. That was the first impression Su Yu had of the word on the wall. The moment he saw the word, he understood its meaning.

Inside his sea of willpower, the golden book shook slightly before returning to inactivity.

The massive word on the city wall also flickered slightly before returning to inactivity.

At the same time.

Inside the mayor's residence, the statue in the massive hall opened its eyes yet again. Those eyes seemed capable of seeing through everything. Numerous information was captured by the eyes before they were shut again. The statue returned to how it was since time immemorial, still and unmoving.

***

Su Yu was hiding near the city. He didn't dare to enter rashly. But he was also worried that Mo Duona would catch up to him. He couldn't make up his mind. Suddenly, his expression changed. His tribulation character was pulsing madly. Was Mo Duona here?

He was just about to rush into the city when someone floated over from afar. It was Mo Duona. He shot Su Yu an indifferent glance before approaching the largest city gate on the wall. The look in his eyes indicated that he had discovered Su Yu. But he had ignored Su Yu like he had not noticed anything.

Unlike the other gates, the largest gate was left unguarded. The gate was wide open, but its surroundings were devoid of people. Mo Duona stopped before the open gate instead of stepping through.

His action caught the attention of the pedestrians around the nearby gates. Some trembled in fear the moment they noticed who he was. Some were unaware of who he was, and one of them sneered, "Yet another overconfident fool..."

Whoosh!

The sneering individual was instantly ignited in devilflame. Miserable wails rang out. In mere moments, the Cloudbreach was reduced to ashes.

Mo Duona did not even spare the Cloudbreach a glance. The people around the dead Cloudbreach hurriedly moved away. Standing beside the dead Cloudbreach was an old man. Shock and fury filled his eyes. Thɪs chapter is updated by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

"Is the original devil race...so unreasonable?"

Finally, Mo Duona turned his head. The old man was a Mountainsea.

He nodded, "Yes. The original devil race...does not need to reason with anyone."

Then, his body flickered.

Boom!

In his place, a fist appeared. The fist broke through space itself and struck the old man on his head. The head burst apart. Once again, a clump of devilflame appeared. The old man turned into a headless black wolf after his death. His corpse was instantly reduced into ashes by the devilflame.

"Mo Duona!"

Some of the people nearby muttered that name in fear. The surrounding people furrther distanced themselves from Mo Duona.

Original devil race. Mo Duona.

Cloudbreach.

A third-stage Mountainsea was killed with only one punch. That feat shocked everyone present.

Ignoring the others, Mo Duona returned his focus to the gate.

The gate remained open. After a light inhalation, he took a step forward.

Whoosh!

Fire started dancing around him.

One step at a time, Mo Duona advanced. He seemed to be having a hard time.

One step, two steps...

Each step seemed capable of draining all his strength.

This formed a huge contrast with the ease with which he had killed a Mountainsea just moments ago. Su Yu, who was observing in concealment, was stunned.

Too strong!

A third-stage Mountainsea was actually so helpless against this fellow. How terrifying.

"This fellow...is too strong. He's only a seventh-stage Cloudbreach! With this level of strength, I'll need to reach at least sixth-stage Skysoar Realm before I can face him in battle."

"..."

Those words were spoken to the little furball. The little guy turned to the other side. He didn't feel like replying.

Mo Duona was the strongest seventh-stage Cloudbreach of the original devil race. Or to be precise, he was probably the strongest seventh-stage Cloudbreach of the myriad races. And this fellow was complaining that he could only fight Mo Duona upon reaching the sixth-stage Skysoar Realm. What an annoying braggart.

But Su Yu was serious. He was referring to his physical cultivation. At the sixth stage, he would have no less than forty-one body forgings completed. And that would only grant him the strength to put up a fight instead of winning. Even now, he still couldn't see just how strong Mo Duona was.

Perhaps he even needed to reach the seventh stage.

"I might...need an even higher cultivation level than that. This fellow is too hard to see through. How many body forgings has he completed? Thirty-six? How many acupoints has he opened? More than a hundred?"

Mo Duona did not look like someone who had opened only around a hundred acupoints. He had probably completed more than thirty-six body forgings as well. Sure, the cultivation method of the original devil Su Yu knew about only reached up to thirty-six body forgings. But who knew if that fellow was cultivating the same thing?

"Why did he insist on walking through that gate?"

Su Yu was feeling very doubtful. There were so many gates. Some of them seemed very easy to go through, as evident by the pedestrians who were easily going through them. The guards did not stop or inspect any of the visitors.

In that case, why did Mo Duona insist on walking through that gate? Also, had Mo Duona discovered him? Why was Mo Duona ignoring him and entering the city? It was as though Mo Duona was here only for the city, not him. What an odd fellow.

Su Yu was filled with doubt. It was clear how difficult each step was for Mo Duona. In fact, beads of sweat were already dripping down his forehead. Something was off about this gate. Someone who had killed a Mountainsea with one punch was having difficulty going through a gate. What matter of gate was this?

What would happen if someone decided to skip the gates and fly over the city walls?

"Death."

Boom!

Su Yu instantly threw a punch behind him. His characters and character technique activated instantaneously. A massive explosion ensued.

"Su Yu!"

The person who had spoken the word "death" retreated and only stopped after putting a distance of several hundred meters between them. That was a masked individual. He laughed and said, "Are you wondering about the consequences of flying over the city walls?"

Su Yu's eyes were cold, but inwardly, he was greatly shocked. That was merely a thought in his mind. How did this person learn of it?

Seemingly knowing what Su Yu was thinking, the masked man laughed again, "Because...that's the same thing everyone will wonder during their first visit. Isn't that an easy guess? Do you have a lot of questions? Are you curious?"

"Who are you?"

Su Yu's eyes turned even colder. He couldn't see through the masked individual. Thus, he decided to run again.

"Don't run. I come in peace."

The masked man smiled and said, "I come from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. I'm a member of the Heaven Department of the Four Departments. Su Yu, was that a character technique? Could you tell me its name?"

Su Yu merely stared at the masked man coldly.

"There is no need to be so hostile toward me. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is nothing but a normal organization. We don't care about right or wrong. We don't care about good and evil. We exist to help others and ourselves."

The masked man continued, "I wish to recruit you into the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Are you interested?"

"Nope." Su Yu was constantly retreating even as they spoke. Worried that the masked man would attack after such an answer, he added, "Give me some time. I need to think about it. After all, I know too little about the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion."

"Heh." The masked man said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm only here to verify your identity. Nothing else. Even if you're not joining, you can still use our index copy. With the index copy, you can stay in touch with the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion and do some business with us."

"Business?"

"Yes." The masked man said, "We are open to all sorts of transactions."

"Do you take assassination requests as well?"

"..."
