Chapter 770: Hundred Battles Returns

Su Yu paid no heed to others' reactions.

At that moment, his first move was to seek out the War Emperor—not because the War Emperor was impressive, but because Su Yu wanted to test his own strength and gauge his power.

In this era, perhaps only a few ancient relics could accurately assess one's true might.

The War Emperor was clearly a most suitable candidate.

He was immensely powerful!

He had encountered many formidable beings.

Figures like Baizhan were all later generations, who had never seen those Rule Masters or crossed blows with those top-tier existences.

As for the Chaos Dragon, Su Yu had largely figured out its strength.

Previously, he was far from a match, but now, if he fought the Chaos Dragon again, it was hard to say—of course, the Chaos Dragon was injured, and at this moment, Su Yu felt he might have a chance to take it down.

...

This time, Su Yu moved with incredible speed!

In the blink of an eye, he tore through voids one after another, and shortly after, he arrived near the passage to the seventh layer of the Starry Mansion—also the place where the War Emperor connected to the Nether Realm.

"War Emperor!"

Su Yu's voice boomed like a great bell, "An old friend has come—won't you show yourself?"

The War Emperor appeared swiftly this time, his form materializing at the passage entrance in an instant.

He looked at Su Yu, his gaze icy.

You've come after all!

"I've been waiting for you a long time!"

The War Emperor glared coldly at Su Yu. I knew you'd come back for a counterattack—indeed, you're here to kill me.

But what about your subordinates?

As he pondered, he suddenly looked at Su Yu, his expression shifting slightly: "Your strength..."

It seemed somewhat changed.

After all, he was sealed, and at this moment, he was merely a condensed avatar with limited perception. He could only sense that Su Yu had grown stronger, but how much stronger,

he couldn't accurately judge.

And Su Yu? He stepped forward slowly, a smile on his face: "War Emperor, tell me—how much of your power have you recovered now?"

"Enough to kill you!"

The War Emperor snorted coldly. Su Yu frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed his brow: "Arrogant talk!"

With that, he raised a hand to cover the sky!

A massive hand spread across heaven and earth, gathering the power of myriad paths on its palm—life and death forces even more pronounced, like a taiji, with black and white intertwined, striking down through the void!

This palm directly plunged into the seventh-layer passage.

Boom!

The War Emperor's avatar did not retreat but punched out, and a thunderous sound rang out.

With a crash, the avatar was slammed into the ground by Su Yu's palm, leaving a clear human-shaped imprint on the seventh layer's floor.

Su Yu struck out with his palm, then stepped through the air, directly entering the seventh layer.

Moments later, the War Emperor's avatar, dizzy and disoriented, flew out from the ground. At first, it was dazed, then quickly turned ferocious: "You're asking for death! Su Yu, you dare ambush me!"

"..."

Su Yu was speechless. Did I ambush him?

Fine, say what you will.

"War Emperor, I'm going to hit you now!"

Before he could finish, the War Emperor threw a punch at Su Yu. This avatar was formidable—not quite at the Heavenly Sovereign level, but definitely possessing Heavenly King strength.

"Suppress!"

Su Yu shouted, "Suppress you, hear me?"

Boom!

A great path emerged across the sky, like a colossal mountain, invisible yet directly pressing down. Another thunderous crash rang out as the War Emperor's avatar swung his fist but struck nothing, pinned down by the mountain!

Bang!

Another loud crash echoed as the War Emperor's avatar was crushed into the spot where the Prince Gong's mansion once stood.

"Roar!"

The War Emperor let out a furious roar, and the entire seventh layer stirred with wind and clouds. In an instant, vast amounts of rule power surged into his avatar.

The War Emperor's avatar instantly grew stronger!

Boom!

He threw another punch, far more powerful than before, shattering the suppressing mountain. The War Emperor soared into the air, his face turning grim: "How have you grown so fast?"

His avatar had been no weakling before, yet Su Yu had suppressed it in an instant!

And Su Yu, with a strange glint in his eyes, smiled: "Interesting. It seems you've unsealed quite a bit—indeed, you can still strengthen further. Enough talk, let me see your limit!"

The War Emperor's true body—Su Yu was absolutely no match for it.

The War Emperor was no weakling among Rule Masters.

But... how much of his power could he unseal?

"Five Elements Purgatory!"

He raised his hand to cover the sky, turning it into a cage, merging the five elements into one, and instantly enveloped the War Emperor.

The War Emperor was furious beyond measure.

"Mount Tai Collapse!"

This time, he threw another punch, and with it emerged an image—as if in some era, he had punched a colossal mountain into ruin, a mountain in the chaos.

This punch stirred up fierce gales across the entire seventh layer, sweeping through heaven and earth.

The fist imprint flew out, and as it did, it was caught by the cage formed by Su Yu's Five Elements Purgatory. In an instant, the giant fist exploded within the cage with a thunderous roar, shaking the Five Elements Purgatory violently.

Yet, it did not break through.

The War Emperor's face changed again!

"Impossible!"

He looked at Su Yu, his expression dark: "How could you improve so fast? This isn't the Brush Path—this isn't Brush Path power, but the power of the Five Elements Unified Path, the very essence of the Five Elements Ancestor from ages past... Have you taken the Five Elements Path?"

Something was wrong!

Above his avatar, a Heavenly Gate faintly appeared, not fully formed—this was just an avatar—but it was enough to see the power of the great path.

He looked at Su Yu, then instinctively glanced up at the sky... and froze.

Holy shit!

Where is the tributary of the Great Dao?

Where is it?

Why isn’t it there!

He instantly lowered his head, looking at Su Yu himself, and at that glance, he was stunned, his dog eyes nearly blinded!

At this moment, Su Yu was like a Buddha, radiating ten thousand rays of light!

Yet, those countless Daos converged into one, and the point of connection was not in the heavens, but… behind him?

The Martial Emperor first froze, then seemed to think of something, his mouth instantly gaping wide as he stammered, “You… you… your Dao… you went and opened a Dao?”

Had Su Yu just been opening a Dao?

Seeing the Heavenly Gate manifest on him, Su Yu knew what he had glimpsed and laughed, “Is that not allowed? Martial Emperor, come play—your clone is too weak. Add a bit more power, and let me test my strength!”

The Martial Emperor’s face shifted, and he ground his teeth, “You’re courting death! You open a Dao… yet not in the River of Time, so your Dao is like a rootless duckweed! You actually went and opened a Dao in Chaos! Su Yu, you’re too insane, you’re a madman, you truly are seeking death!”

He hadn’t seen the connection point between Su Yu’s Dao and the River of Time; instead, it seemed faintly linked to Chaos.

Wasn’t this courting death?

How long could a rootless, duckweed-like Dao endure?

Su Yu smiled, “Are you trying to say my stamina isn’t good?”

Indeed, at this moment, Su Yu had a massive flaw.

Insufficient energy!

Ordinarily, a Dao could slowly gather some Chaotic Force, convert it, and then recharge.

But Su Yu’s Dao was limited in length, and the Rule Force it could contain was limited.

Once a battle dragged on and the Rule Force was exhausted, Su Yu would soon weaken.

The Martial Emperor said gravely, “You’re a madman. Since you know this, you still went to open a Dao in Chaos! A rootless duckweed, without the support of the River of Time’s power—if you fight too long, you’ll become utterly useless!”

Su Yu laughed, “You cannot speak of ice to a summer insect! The River of Time… do you think its energy is infinite? That it was always this abundant? The River of Time is also a solitary Dao, drawing Chaotic Force and converting it into the myriad Dao forces needed.”

“Martial Emperor, it’s a waste that you opened the Heavenly Gate—your vision is so shallow… unimaginable!”

Su Yu smiled, “In battles of the strong, they often end in an instant. Even if my Dao isn’t strong, and the conversion of energy is insufficient, and the Rule Force isn’t much, it’s still enough for me to fight for an hour. What kind of formidable foe could make me fight for an hour without killing them… then I’d have fled long ago!”

A flaw?

Su Yu didn’t care at all!

Even if the current cosmic Dao wasn’t strong, once it converted and filled with power, it was enough for Su Yu to fight at full strength for about an hour.

If he truly encountered a powerful enemy, and couldn’t kill them in an hour, he’d probably be killed by them instead.

Of course, if their strength was equal, a prolonged battle wasn’t too favorable for Su Yu.

Also, if he fled and the enemy pursued relentlessly, that would be a problem for Su Yu.

But the benefits outweighed the drawbacks—that was enough!

Without opening a Dao, he wouldn’t have reached this level of strength so quickly.

Without opening a Dao, he would never surpass certain people.

At this moment, Su Yu couldn’t be bothered to argue with the Martial Emperor. This fellow had seen too little, or rather, his heart was too small. He too had opened the Heavenly Gate and seen much, but he clung to his own little patch of land.

That Dao of his—Su Yu had seen it; it wasn’t even as strong as the Brush Dao, yet he always guarded it and refused to let go.

As one who had opened the Heavenly Gate, the Literary King had opened the heavens, the Human King had opened the heavens, the Martial King’s situation was unclear, and as for the others, Su Yu felt that even if they hadn’t opened the heavens, they wouldn’t be too weak.

In any case, they were definitely stronger than the Martial Emperor!

Of course, over a hundred thousand years, the sealed Martial Emperor, even compared to a normally cultivating Four-Pole Human King, had probably fallen further and further behind!

“Stop the nonsense, come spar with me—I won’t beat you to death!”

Su Yu chuckled lightly, too lazy to say more.

A flaw?

Let you know my flaw, let you know my stamina isn’t strong—so what?

“Mountain Breaker!”

A punch shot out, mountains crumbled and earth split!

“Sky Splitter!”

The fist transformed into a long blade, a single slash shattering heaven and earth.

The Martial Emperor’s face darkened, and with a cold snort, a… large hammer suddenly appeared in his hand?

Probably a hammer!

Then, another appeared!

Twin hammers!

“Su Yu, don’t think you’re so strong!”

“Die!”

The twin hammers manifested, the Martial Emperor’s body swelled, Rule Force surged in, and he instantly smashed toward Su Yu.

Boom!

The two clashed immediately. This time, Su Yu didn’t use many techniques; he mainly employed the fierce War Dao to kill—blades, spears, swords, halberds, fists, feet, palms—all close-combat methods.

Some auxiliary and binding techniques—using them against the Martial Emperor would be too boring.

If this guy couldn’t break free, wouldn’t the fight be impossible?

After a brief exchange, Su Yu struck out with a palm, interweaving life and death forces. At that moment, in the Martial Emperor’s eyes, Su Yu appeared as a shifting blend of black and white. With a thunderous roar, he was struck by the palm.

In an instant, his left side turned black, his right side white.

Black and white alternated; in a blink, deathly qi corroded the left, while life force swelled on the right. In a flash, the clone was half corroded.

Su Yu sent him flying with a palm strike, but frowned, saying, “Not right. With life and death alternating, logically, when I strike, you should explode from the clash of the two forces. But now, only the left is corroded, and the right is brimming with life… that’s very wrong!”

Indeed, my Dao has just opened; it’s still imperfect, and I don’t know how to use it well.

As for the Martial Emperor, he now had a yin-yang face.

His expression was extremely ugly!

Su Yu was using him as a test subject!

He gritted his teeth and let out a low roar. The next moment, even more Rule Force converged. Su Yu’s eyes lit up: “You really can still draw Rule Force! I knew it—you old thing have been unsealed quite a bit, always pretending you weren’t!”

“Perfect—if you were too weak, I’d kill you, and that wouldn’t be good for testing!”

Su Yu was delighted—the Martial Emperor was the best target!

He could strengthen himself at any time. Though it wasn’t clear how much he had unsealed, maybe he could still forcibly draw a bit more?

Continue!

"Life and death!"

This time, Su Yu primarily employed the Way of Life and Death, striking out palm after palm. The Martial Emperor roared in fury, wielding twin hammers, smashing heaven and earth as he charged madly toward Su Yu!

This time, it was far more ferocious!

He directly hammered the power of life and death to pieces!

And Su Yu, instead of being alarmed, rejoiced: "Try my power of the cosmos now!"

What the hell?

Before the Martial Emperor could finish Su Yu off with a single hammer blow, suddenly the world spun, and in the next moment, he found himself as if in a chaotic primordial realm.

Su Yu was also using this for the first time, and he laughed: "I'm not very skilled, but this is what I call the phantom of my own heaven and earth. I want to see if I can control everything here!"

"Go to hell!"

Damn it, are you using me as a whetstone?

Dream on!

He raised his twin hammers and charged at Su Yu with a thunderous roar!

And Su Yu, now intrigued, laughed: "Fall back!"

The void spun; the Martial Emperor clearly felt he was charging at Su Yu, yet the more he attacked, the farther he drifted, growing ever more distant from Su Yu.

Su Yu's eyes lit up: "How does it feel?"

The Martial Emperor raged: "You bastard! Your Dao is too weak. If I were unsealed, I'd blow this petty Dao to bits with one hammer!"

He wasn't boasting.

If he were unsealed, with just this little influence of the Great Dao, he would have already blasted it apart.

But alas... wasn't he sealed?

Su Yu smiled: "No rush, I'll wait for you next time!"

With that, he continued his experiments: "Time acceleration!"

Yes, this time he began to accelerate.

This place is my heaven and earth.

I say time can accelerate, so it can. A surge of Dao power swept toward the Martial Emperor!

The Martial Emperor's avatar instantly began to age.

But soon, the Martial Emperor's physical body trembled, he roared, and the acceleration force was shattered. The Martial Emperor blazed with fury: "Come, fight me physically!"

Using such petty tricks, what kind of skill is that?

"One force breaks ten thousand laws!"

With one hammer, he blasted apart the Dao powers ahead; Su Yu's laws of regression and time were all shattered. The Martial Emperor's aura grew stronger and stronger as he crazily charged at Su Yu.

Su Yu's eyes shone brightly—truly a good opponent, a good target, a good sparring partner!

"Power, attach to my body!"

Su Yu shouted softly, and suddenly a tremendous force adhered to him.

"Flesh, be strong!"

The power of the flesh Dao surged in.

"Indestructible!"

Golden light flashed, and Su Yu's physical body suddenly became countless times stronger.

He threw a punch, using no other means. This fist struck head-on against the Martial Emperor's twin hammers. With a thunderous crash, the hammers shattered and exploded. Su Yu stepped back, but his eyes were blazing bright!

And the Martial Emperor, his hammers destroyed, roared and kicked out with one leg!

It must be said, this fellow did have some strength.

Rumble!

Su Yu was kicked back repeatedly. The next moment, he shouted: "Steadfast as a mountain!"

He rooted himself in place, unmoving.

"Petrify!"

He instantly turned himself to stone, not targeting the Martial Emperor.

"Rebound!"

A force of rebound appeared on the stone.

The Martial Emperor's kick landed with a bang, and he was sent flying back, his legs numb. But gritting his teeth, he charged again. Rumble! His fists rained down tens of thousands of blows, sending stone chips flying, scattering the rule power around Su Yu, and also shattering the Martial Emperor's own hands!

Now the Martial Emperor's face was extremely ugly. He stepped back and ground his teeth: "If you've got guts, stop defending!"

The stone man Su Yu opened his eyes and laughed: "No, I'm testing my defense! Martial Emperor, it seems you can't break through!"

"Hmph!"

The Martial Emperor sneered: "'One force breaks ten thousand laws' is no joke! It's just that I don't have enough rule power right now to resist your rule power and break your Dao power!"

"True!"

Su Yu laughed: "So, those with weaker rule power than me will find it hard to break through my defense!"

Having said that, he laughed again: "Martial Emperor, try something else!"

"Bastard!"

The Martial Emperor wanted to break through this sky and leave this place, but Su Yu's expression changed: "Trying to run? You old thing, get back here!"

The Martial Emperor ignored him!

And Su Yu, seeing this, gritted his teeth: You want to run?

Dream on!

Keep being my sparring partner!

"Taunt!"

Yes, taunt.

As soon as this taunt Dao was activated, Su Yu casually said a few words, and the Martial Emperor felt a surge of overwhelming rage.

"Did Mount Tai's beating feel good? Did having flowers planted on your butt feel good?"

"..."

Well, with words like that, there was no need for any Dao power interference—the Martial Emperor was about to explode!

Did he even need taunting?

Boom!

He turned and charged at Su Yu, cursing: "You bastard! If I don't kill Su Yu today, I'm not the Martial Emperor!"

The battle erupted once more.

At this moment, Su Yu began to slowly experiment with his various Great Dao powers. Though he didn’t really want to bully the Martial Emperor’s clone... it was just too satisfying—a perfect target, an ideal sparring partner!

“You’re a pig!” Su Yu muttered, using the Dao of Bean Bun to disrupt his opponent.

“Your whole family are pigs!” the Martial Emperor roared furiously, throwing a punch that sent Su Yu stumbling back. Su Yu frowned slightly: “No use—this Dao is too weak!”

“Endure!”

The Dao of Endurance!

The Martial Emperor paused for a moment; this Dao wasn’t weak, but he quickly snapped out of it.

He charged again, but halfway there, he suddenly turned and fled. To hell with fighting—he couldn’t take it anymore!

“Reverse front and back!”

The direction reversed. The Martial Emperor saw this and cursed: Damn it, he was flying straight toward Su Yu!

“Ah, you bastard, you beast—I’ll kill you!” His aura surged; he was going mad!

This bastard had too many tricks.

Couldn’t even run away—fine, I’ll beat you to death!

Boom!

At that moment, Su Yu sensed it—the Martial Emperor had already reached a strength close to that of the Chaos Dragon. His degree of unsealing was no small matter.

This time, many of his Great Daos were directly broken!

They couldn’t affect the Martial Emperor!

One force breaking all techniques—for a truly powerful being, that was indeed the case. When your strength was overwhelming, any Great Dao power could be shattered with a single punch.

But if your strength wasn’t enough... then having more tricks was naturally better.

“Imprison!”

“Chains!”

“Seduction!”

“...”

Various Great Dao powers manifested.

“Cry for me!”

“Wah... damn your ancestors!” The Martial Emperor actually shed a tear, then immediately cursed wildly and charged at Su Yu again.

“Rage, berserk rage!”

This time, the Martial Emperor didn’t resist—his eyes turned bloodshot with fury!

“Rage overwhelming the heavens, rage that drives one mad!” Su Yu murmured. The Martial Emperor felt as if countless flies were buzzing around his ears, his fury spiraling out of control as he began indiscriminately slaughtering everything. Rumble—the sound shook the surroundings!

Su Yu kept retreating, thinking he might end up breaking this clone of the Martial Emperor.

But... it was so satisfying!

Even the Chaos Dragon wasn’t easy to break, but this clone of the Martial Emperor, after all, wasn’t the true body—it was far too susceptible to Great Dao interference, and it made it too easy for Su Yu to see the effects of his Daos.

Su Yu was in high spirits.

Just as he was about to try another Great Dao, the enraged Martial Emperor seemed to have gone completely mad. But at that moment, deep in his eyes, a flicker of clarity appeared.

Gradually, in his frenzy, he drew closer to Su Yu.

He seemed to be attacking wildly in all directions!

He seemed to have lost all reason in his fury!

But... just as Su Yu was about to test another Great Dao power, the Martial Emperor’s eyes suddenly cleared, and he roared: “Go to hell!”

Boom!

This punch was stronger than any before!

This punch shattered the very heavens and earth where Su Yu stood. With a thunderous crash, it slammed into Su Yu, and with a bang, Su Yu was torn apart, the world crumbling.

The Martial Emperor’s clone, drained of its remaining strength, fell from the sky, crashing to the ground, gasping heavily, and cursing: “Think you can play me? Did you really think I was that stupid?”

Can’t kill you?

You were getting addicted to this!

And at that moment, in the void, Su Yu materialized out of thin air, frowning slightly, his face a little pale, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the Martial Emperor: “Not bad. If that had been your true body, wouldn’t I have been beaten to death?”

The Martial Emperor’s clone sneered coldly: “True body? Do I need my true body to deal with you? Right now, I’m only two-tenths unsealed. At three-tenths, I could kill you!”

“Bragging!” Su Yu laughed. “At three-tenths unsealed, you could kill me?”

“Bragging?” The Martial Emperor’s clone stood up, swaying, and sneered: “You’re not weak, but your strength is only at a critical threshold! You’re still a bit short of even the weakest Rule Lord. Of course, you might be able to fight some ancient human kings who cultivated the Flesh Dao... but compared to me, you’re far off!”

Su Yu frowned slightly, then nodded: “True enough. My strength is about the same as that Chaos Dragon from before. Strictly speaking, I’m on the same level as Bai Zhan from six thousand years ago, the ancestor of the Prison King lineage, the Chaos Dragon, and the Sun Crown Celestial.”

Last time he fled, he had taken careful note.

He might be on par with that ancestor who appeared later, or perhaps a bit weaker.

But they were all in the same realm.

The kind who could fight Celestials but couldn’t defeat a Rule Lord.

“But I have more tricks!” Su Yu smiled, looking at the Martial Emperor’s clone: “At the same level, with the same strength, they might not be able to beat me!”

The Martial Emperor said nothing, cursing inwardly.

“Again!” Su Yu stepped forward once more. The Martial Emperor roared in anger: “Get lost! Su Yu, what exactly do you want? If you have the guts, kill my true self!”

“It’s not like I can’t kill him!” Su Yu said with a faint smile, opening the Heavenly Gate and looking up: “If you keep drawing on the power of rules to strengthen the seal, your strength will actually decline. You’ve reached a limit, haven’t you? If I brought seven or eight Heavenly Kings... I could slay you today! Martial Emperor, be my sparring partner, and I won’t kill you. Otherwise, I’ll finish you off right now!”

The Martial Emperor was frantic!

He roared in fury: “Fight, then—let’s fight with real weapons and real strength! What’s the point of using all those messy Great Dao powers? You can’t kill me with them—are you just trying to disgust me?”

Furious!

Truly furious!

Fighting, he didn't fear it—he loved to brawl.

But someone like Su Yu was utterly disgusting, so annoying.

All sorts of chaotic Dao powers hurled at him, truly vile—like the Vomit Dao, damn you!

What kind of twisted nonsense was that?

And the Stench Dao, so foul that the Martial Emperor truly wanted to throw up; he couldn't stand it!

Su Yu smiled faintly and said, "Come on, let me test all my Dao powers. Once I'm done, I'll leave. Martial Emperor... do you want me to come back endlessly to bother you?"

The Martial Emperor's face turned green, and the next moment, he roared, "Bring it on!"

Boom!

His aura surged again, and he instantly charged at Su Yu. Today, I'll fight you properly!

Do you really think I'm all talk and no substance?

This time, the Martial Emperor no longer simply threw punches or swung hammers. Instead, he kept his Heavenly Gate open, watching closely. As soon as Su Yu used some disgusting Dao, he would instantly flee, then strike back!

With the Heavenly Gate, it had to be said, this guy's combat experience was utterly refined!

...

An hour later, Su Yu let out a hum, tore through the void, and vanished in an instant.

He disappeared from the seventh layer!

The Martial Emperor's phantom, bruised and swollen, quickly returned to normal. He glared at the passageway and snorted coldly, "No matter how many tricks you have, you can only fight this long. If you hadn't run, I'd have killed you!"

Su Yu's weakness was now exposed.

At this point in the battle, he had no choice but to flee.

If he didn't, his rule power would soon be exhausted.

The Martial Emperor cursed under his breath, "Beast!

Once my true body is unsealed, the first thing I'll do is kill that beast!

He's made me sick!"

He kept cursing, muttering angrily, then turned back.

He had just rested for about half an hour when suddenly his face twisted in fury, and he roared, "You're back?!"

"Boom!"

Su Yu ignored him. He had just gone to the Chaos Land, sped up his recovery, and drawn a good amount of chaotic energy, converting it into the Dao power he needed.

About half an hour or so!

Of course, this only worked because the Martial Emperor couldn't chase him—otherwise, he'd have been killed countless times in half an hour!

But... wasn't the Martial Emperor stuck here?

Let's keep going!

He desperately needed an unkillable opponent to hone his Dao.

Right now, he craved combat experience against an enemy of this level.

Rumble!

The entire seventh layer erupted in battle once more, shaking heaven and earth.

An hour later... Su Yu fled again.

This time, the Martial Emperor cursed some more, "Piece of shit!

I'll kill you sooner or later!

"When I'm unsealed, I'll come for you first..."

The Martial Emperor swore, hoping someone would just kill this nuisance.

So annoying!

He waited a while, saw that Su Yu hadn't returned, and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Half an hour had passed, and Su Yu was still gone.

Just as he turned... he erupted in rage!

"You're back again?!"

Why wasn't it half an hour this time?

And Su Yu, now explaining himself, said excitedly, "Don't you know, fighting you has helped me master my Dao powers. I feel my Dao has expanded a bit, my insights deepened, my control stronger! I took a little more time, and now I'm back!"

Boom!

The Martial Emperor was going mad, truly mad.

The battle erupted once more.

...

Another hour... and three extra minutes.

This time, Su Yu lasted three minutes longer before fleeing again.

The Martial Emperor watched blankly, too drained to even curse.

He just stared numbly as Su Yu left.

After about 29 minutes, Su Yu returned excitedly: "My conversion speed is a bit faster now. Martial Emperor, let's go again!"

Boom!

The battle resumed, and the Martial Emperor fought mechanically—punch, punch, punch!

This fight was making him sick!

...

One hour and five minutes.

Su Yu fled again.

28 minutes later, he returned once more.

And so the battle continued.

...

At that moment, King Dazhou and his group were already heading back to the Tianyuan Realm.

Soon, they arrived outside the Tianyuan Realm.

One by one, they looked toward the distant Starry Mansion.

King Dazhou now spoke with some sympathy, his voice low: "Will the Martial Emperor... blow himself up to take Su Yu down with him?"

If I were the Martial Emperor... I really couldn't take it.

Su Yu came and went, tireless, fighting him for five or six hours. They had waited in the Chaos Land for a while, saw Su Yu running back and forth, and decided not to wait any longer, so they returned.

And Wan Tiansheng, at this moment, let out a soft sigh: "Martial Emperor... just wait. The Yu Emperor is not one to give up easily. Just ask Bai Feng."

Beside him, Bai Feng stroked his chin and said after a long pause, "This reminds me of back then, this guy... ahem, when Yu Huang was cultivating, to hone his martial skills, he could train for three to five days without sleeping!"

Su Yu's tenacity was beyond words.

When he first arrived at the Civilization Academy, still weak back then, even so, he would train every day until dawn, sleep at most a little, then go to class, train, compete, earn money...

Compared to his peers, Su Yu's self-discipline and tenacity were beyond imagination.

No one can succeed casually. If Wu Huang thought Su Yu would stop after a while... he was just overthinking.

Sure enough.

That day, the entire Netherworld Domain felt it.

Su Yu flew back and forth!

Because Su Yu was excited—his endurance was increasing, his recovery time was shortening.

From lasting one hour, in the end, he could last an hour and a half.

And recovery time shortened to about fifteen minutes.

He ran back and forth, fought back and forth—this time, he fought for a full three days!

Yes, for three days, he was battling Wu Huang.

He tried almost every power of the ten thousand paths.

...

Three days later.

Xingyu Mansion, seventh floor.

Wu Huang's clone had a dazed look, somewhat numb.

When he saw Su Yu return once more, he laughed—a silly laugh, tinged with foolishness.

"You're here?"

Su Yu was startled. "Did I beat him stupid?"

"Hehe!"

"Haha!"

Wu Huang laughed once. Just as Su Yu was about to speak, with a thunderous roar, the clone exploded!

Wu Huang's voice came: "Haha, I've sealed myself. You go on! Haha!"

"I'm done!"

He blew up that clone and called it quits!

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then said after a while, "I... I think I'm about done. Fighting more probably won't yield anything. This time I came to say goodbye to Wu Huang. After all, I have many things to attend to—I can't keep fighting you here forever... I'm not a battle maniac!"

"Strange fellow!"

"Why did you self-destruct your clone?"

"To conjure another one also costs a price and takes time."

"You endured three days, but couldn't even spare a moment to hear me out?"

"What a damn fool!"

Wu Huang was endlessly silent.

Su Yu didn't mind. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Wu Huang. These three days, I was very happy!"

"When I have time, I'll come again..."

Su Yu finished, laughed once, and stepped into the void, departing.

After he left, Wu Huang's voice suddenly turned frantic.

On the first floor, a huge eye opened!

His mouth wide, he suddenly roared, "Su Yu, may you die a miserable death! When I break the seal, I will spend three days and three nights beating you to death!"

Yes, three days and three nights!

Su Yu had fought him for three days and three nights—he wanted to fight back!

Xingyu Mansion shook!

Violently shook!

Wu Huang wished he could crawl out right then and kill that fellow.

He was furious!

Not only had he fought for three days and nights, but in the end, thinking he had won, he said, "I'm not fighting anymore," blew up the clone, and told Su Yu to play by himself.

But then Su Yu told him he had come to say goodbye.

Aaaah!

Wu Huang was going mad. What he wanted to see was Su Yu going crazy, Su Yu angry, Su Yu furious—not Su Yu looking at him like he was an idiot.

"Bastard!"

"Go to hell!"

Wu Huang was insane, the mansion shaking incessantly. At that moment, his roar seemed audible even across the myriad realms.

...

At the same time.

Zanghun Mountain.

Baizhan chose to lead people down to the lower realm—it was about time.

Within the realm passage, though astral winds were dangerous, Baizhan was powerful. This was not the passage of the Fate Clan; descending to the lower realm with his strength, the odds were still good.

After a moment, a group arrived in the lower realm, arriving in the endless void.

These past days, the battle in the upper realm had ended.

As some ancient beasts returned from the depths of chaos—especially a few incredibly powerful ones—the battle in the upper realm ended once more.

This time, from the depths of chaos emerged a tiger and a dragon.

Both were immensely powerful, which caused the upper realm war to end prematurely.

Because everyone was very wary!

From the depths of chaos, powerful ancient beasts had emerged again. As for the previous giant bird, it was not seen—no one knew if it was dead or what.

Baizhan appeared in the endless void, sensed the aura, and smiled. "We're back!"

"The myriad realms!"

After leaving the myriad realms for six thousand years, he had returned!

"Your Majesty, where to now?"

"First go to the Human Realm, then to the Giant Realm!"

Bai Zhan smiled, his face breaking into a grin: "Let's see how things are in the human realm now, and what that Su Yu left behind for me after he departed."

He led the group, stepping through the void toward the human realm. His pace was unhurried, for he wished to see how the myriad worlds fared now.

As he walked, he suddenly turned his head to look in a direction, raised an eyebrow slightly, and smiled: "Long time no see, Supervisor of Heaven!"

In the distance, the Supervisor of Heaven's figure flickered into view, glanced at him, and smiled.

"Bai Zhan... you've returned!"

King Bai Zhan looked at him, chuckled lightly, and said, "I have returned. Interested in joining me?"

"Heh... no thanks!"

"How dare you!"

Nanxi Hou barked in a low voice. The Supervisor of Heaven glanced at him, smiled, then looked at Yunshui Hou and Jianghai Hou, his grin radiant: "As for you all... I don't know about the others, but Yunshui... I fear your end will not be good!"

With a soft laugh, the Supervisor of Heaven's figure dissipated: "Bai Zhan, I know all about the past events! But unfortunately... you probably dare not kill me now, and perhaps you won't even get the chance to! Hahaha!"

The Supervisor of Heaven's form vanished completely.

King Bai Zhan gazed at his retreating back, and after a long silence, murmured softly: "Interesting... the fortune of antiquity is reviving once more!"

He muttered to himself, then soon dismissed the thought.

The Supervisor of Heaven could not be dealt with now. Killing him at this moment would only invite trouble. On his side, the situation in the Giant Realm was still unknown; if he killed the Supervisor of Heaven now, the upper realm might spawn a multitude of rule masters—that would be the real trouble!

Beside him, Yunshui Hou furrowed his brow slightly.

Without turning his head, King Bai Zhan said, "He was referring to Su Yu. It's nothing—I'll handle it."

King Bai Zhan chuckled lightly: "It seems the Supervisor of Heaven believes Su Yu can still accomplish something, and... his vengefulness appears considerable. Yunshui, be careful."

"Your Majesty, I..."

"It's fine. Fortune is not everything! Fortune means nothing; otherwise, the Supervisor of Heaven would have unified the world long ago!"

Since the Supervisor of Heaven spoke thus, he must have seen something—perhaps Yunshui Hou's fortune was waning—but Bai Zhan did not fully believe in such things.

No emperor would place complete faith in fortune!

Still, caution was necessary, for the Supervisor of Heaven was a top-tier observer of fate.
