Chapter 806: Martial Emperor Breaks the Seal

The latest chapter of The Calamity of All Races is being updated!

Su Yu quickly calmed his anger.

In every great matter, one must remain composed; things might not be as dire as he imagined. Even if Baizhan truly intended to guide the Ancestor, he might not have the chance, and even if he did... it might not go as he wished.

Be at ease!

Su Yu admonished himself inwardly: don’t rush, there’s no need to fret over such a trifle.

Yes, it was all trivial.

He soon grew calm, turned to the Martial Emperor, and restored his smile: “Forgive me, Martial Emperor. Let’s continue!”

The Martial Emperor said nothing, finding it hard to respond at that moment.

But when he remained silent, Su Yu frowned and said, “Does the Martial Emperor think I cannot release you? Cannot unseal you? Do you not trust me?”

Damn!

You’re just picking a fight.

The Martial Emperor was speechless but quickly replied, “Fine, unseal me. I trust you!”

Spare me the nonsense.

He felt that Su Yu was itching for a quarrel, so it was best to go along and get himself unsealed first.

Su Yu smiled with satisfaction.

Soon, ninety-seven tokens hung in the air. At that moment, the entire Star Sea shook violently. In the void, strands of rule power emerged—left behind by the top experts of yore.

These rule powers blanketed the whole heaven and earth.

Boom!

A thunderclap out of a clear sky, matching Su Yu’s mood—turning from fair to cloudy.

Over the Myriad Realms battlefield, thunder suddenly gathered.

In the distance, the experts of the Nine Realms were stunned.

What now?

Was the sky about to change again?

...

And as these rule powers filled heaven and earth,

In the Human Realm,

One after another, powerful figures

Materialized above the Human Realm.

Baizhan gazed into the distance, his brow slightly furrowed.

Beside him, Changqing looked at the sky, at the thunderous forces, and frowned slightly: “Your Majesty, this... seems like a sign that the battlefield is about to fully open and unseal.”

Baizhan nodded slightly.

Wuqi asked in surprise, “Is it time? According to earlier estimates, wasn’t there still a year or two left?”

Baizhan said nothing. A gate appeared in his eyes as he peered into the distance.

In his gaze, a figure seemed to emerge.

It was Su Yu!

It wasn’t time yet; Su Yu was actively unsealing the entire battlefield.

Baizhan remained silent.

Su Yu!

What was he doing?

He was in the Star Sea region, near the Starry Mansion? Could it be... to unseal the Martial Emperor?

Should he stop him, or not?

At this moment, Baizhan sank into thought. If he stopped him, he might clash with Su Yu now, and if he blocked Su Yu, once the Martial Emperor truly broke free, it would likely lead to a fight to the death.

Had Su Yu reached some agreement with the Martial Emperor to unseal him?

Otherwise, why would Su Yu willingly help the Martial Emperor break free?

Thought after thought swirled in his mind.

...

At the same time,

In the Upper Realm,

Winds rose and clouds surged.

At the Source of the Dao, rules trembled.

Above the Source of the Dao, a rift seemed to appear, mirroring the void, as rule power surged through heaven and earth.

Above the Human Mountain,

One mighty being after another

Quickly rose into the air. The Divine Emperor’s Consort said softly, “Su Yu... has truly gone to unseal the lower realm passage.”

They had known his intent ever since he took the Councilor’s Token.

They hadn’t expected Su Yu to act so swiftly, already setting things in motion.

...

Deep within Chaos Mountain,

Yu Qing and the others also gazed into the distance. Behind them, within the Gate of Hell, the body of the Basilosaurus had already emerged halfway, and it spoke with some confusion: “What’s happening?”

Yue Zhan said gravely, “The lower realm is about to open!”

Such a scene was not unprecedented.

Every time the Myriad Realms battlefield was unsealed, the commotion was immense. Over at the Source of the Dao, it would trigger a ripple of rules, informing the Upper Realm that the passage for the lower realm’s life races had opened.

Soon!

This wasn’t the critical moment yet; it hadn’t fully opened—just a precursor.

At these words, the Basilosaurus laughed heartily: “Good news!”

The moment he emerged, the myriad realm passage opened—what could be better?

Though traveling through chaos was also possible,

Yet chaos was unknown. Of course, as a chaos ancient, he didn’t mind, but having been sealed for so long, the myriad realms were different now. It was better to avoid unfamiliar paths.

Yu Qing said calmly, “Opening is good too. Let’s see just how strong Baizhan’s side is. This must be Su Yu’s doing. By opening the lower realm, he probably aims to fully expose Baizhan!”

Yue Zhan nodded slightly.

Perhaps.

Not knowing what had crossed his mind, Moon War hesitated slightly and said, "At this moment, if the lower realm is unsealed, might it allow some people to break free?"

"Who?"

"In the Nether Realm, there are some undead powerhouses who were sealed back in the day. I wonder if this unsealing will set them free."

Jail Green had also heard of this, though it was a matter long past.

Hearing this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Even if they are unsealed, it won't affect us much; it will only impact the lower realm and the Nether Realm."

Besides, what if it does have an impact?

Are we supposed to stop it now?

As Jail Green thought this, he turned his head to look at the Dragon Crocodile Beast, whose half-body had emerged, and said, "Dragon Crocodile, once you're out, we still need to find a way to capture some powerhouses and sacrifice them!"

We must continue to summon more powerhouses here!

For now, we can only be considered stowaways. If we want to come out quickly as stowaways, the best way is to sacrifice some powerhouses; otherwise, it's too hard to emerge.

Jail Green's emergence had taken years of planning. Moon War and the others had relied on bloodline summoning for many years, and even then, several Heavenly Lords had died, and a great deal of rule power had been seized, before Jail Green could appear.

As for Dragon Crocodile, it had only managed to get out by having its willpower devoured twice, which allowed it to pinpoint this location, and then by using the sacrifices of several Heavenly Lords.

But for others to emerge next, the difficulty would be immense.

Although the rift had widened a bit, it was still very hard for powerful beings to manifest.

Hearing this, Dragon Crocodile let out a cold, harsh laugh. "Of course, that's not difficult. Once I get out, I'll first kill that Su Yu, and then naturally I can summon some people here!"

Kill Su Yu!

Jail Green fell silent for a moment, saying nothing. It might be better to first annihilate the myriad races—perhaps that would be easier than dealing with Su Yu. Of course, it was still too early to talk about that; Dragon Crocodile hadn't fully emerged yet.

...

At the same time.

In the lower realm.

Thunderclouds gathered, winds surged, and tokens hovered in the air.

Su Yu looked up at the sky. Suddenly, he waved his hand, and a token materialized. A shadowy force emanated from Su Yu, instantly activating the token. On the token, a powerful phantom appeared.

As this phantom manifested, a network line flickered in the void.

Su Yu held the token, and the massive phantom on it suddenly opened its mouth, biting toward the manifested line, trying to devour this rule power left behind from the past.

The phantom was colossal, swallowing the sky and devouring the sun!

As it swallowed the thread, nearby threads converged to attack the phantom, as if trying to stop it.

At that moment, Su Yu waved his hand again, and more tokens appeared, each attaching itself to those threads, temporarily locking them down. However, two threads still shot toward Su Yu to kill him.

Ninety-nine rule powers—these were the seals left by the top powerhouses of the past on the Battlefield of the Heavens.

But Su Yu only had ninety-seven tokens.

Two were missing!

And now, the rule powers corresponding to those two missing tokens erupted!

The rules left by the top powerhouses of old were all very strong; they were the makers of the rules, and each rule power could slay some Heavenly Kings!

If all ninety-nine gathered, they could even kill a Rule Master.

But now, ninety-seven were locked down.

What waves could the remaining two stir?

At this moment, those two rule powers transformed in the void into the shapes of their corresponding Rule Masters. One phantom, enormous and humanoid, appeared. Su Yu looked at it and immediately laughed.

The Giant Clan!

This must be the rule of the Ancient Giant King!

"The Ancient Giant King... though a Rule Master, might not have walked the path of the physical body. Or perhaps he also governed the physical path of the Ancient Giant Clan?"

Su Yu wasn't entirely sure.

Now, the colossal Ancient Giant King rapidly charged at Su Yu. The rules were merciless; since the time hadn't come for them to dissipate on their own, and they had been provoked, they naturally came to kill Su Yu, the one who had broken the rules!

"Mere dead things!"

A single rule power might still have hope of killing a Heavenly King, but before me, it dares to show off?

If the original had come, I might have been a bit wary, but this is just a rule power left behind years ago.

Su Yu threw a punch across the void!

That punch shook heaven and earth. As it landed, with a thunderous boom, the colossal Ancient Giant King was blasted apart in midair. At that moment, a figure appeared in a distant realm, causing the realm to tremble.

It was the current Ancient Giant King!

At that instant, the Ancient Giant King's face changed. He sensed that the rule left by his ancestor had been shattered.

He also saw Su Yu!

"Su Yu, how dare you break my ancestor's rule..."

"Shut up!"

Before he could finish, Su Yu said coldly, throwing another punch across the void. Boom!

That punch pierced through space, appearing above the Giant Realm in an instant, and materialized before the Ancient Giant King. He had no way to avoid it; with a furious roar, he threw a punch of his own!

Boom!

The Ancient Giant King fell, crashing down into his realm.

In that moment, all around fell silent.

Su Yu was indifferent, saying coldly, "Who gave you the nerve to question me? To provoke me? This punch is a minor punishment! If it happens again, you will surely die!"

Silence reigned.

After a moment, near the Eastern Rift Valley in the Human Realm, someone said coldly, "Su Yu, you are too arrogant..."

It wasn't Hundred Battles.

It was a Heavenly Lord!

Su Yu had not given Hundred Battles any face, directly punching the Ancient Giant King into severe injury. Su Yu knew full well the relationship between Hundred Battles and the Ancient Giant King—strictly speaking, Hundred Battles had to call the Ancient Giant King his father-in-law.

And at that moment, Su Yu's cold voice rang out: "Do you want to start a war with me? Hundred Battles hasn't even spoken yet, and you, a reckless insolent, dare to question me, the Emperor?"

In an instant, winds surged, and waves of rule power descended toward that direction!

Boom!

The sky exploded, as if countless massive hands were reaching out to seize that person.

Su Yu shouted, "Go, kill him!"

Boom!

Three massive figures instantly tore through the void.

Fat Ball, Blue Sky, and Tongtian, transported by Tongtian Marquis, arrived almost instantly. Fat Ball appeared, immediately darkened, and smashed a boot down on that person!

Behind, Hundred Battles had not yet made a move, and the group watched in silence.

The one who had spoken drew his sword with a single stroke.

No sooner had the blade left its sheath than it froze mid-air; the next moment, a boot descended from the heavens with a thunderous crash, splitting his skull open, blood spattering across the void!

The crowd behind changed color.

So strong?

The darkened Fatball was indeed formidable, and wielding King Wen's boot made him even more terrifyingly powerful—one stomp of the boot shattered the opponent's head, and with a wide-open maw, he was about to devour him whole!

Just then, from behind, Hundred Battles suddenly reached out a hand and said softly, "It's all a misunderstanding."

A massive hand rose to the heavens!

It too was overwhelmingly mighty!

Yet in that instant, the Marquis of Tongtian's portal swung open, and a roar erupted from within. A colossal Basilosaurus beast emerged. Hundred Battles raised an eyebrow slightly, slapped down with his palm, and obliterated the beast's phantom.

Then, reaching out to grab, he suddenly seized a portal directly from the void!

The Marquis of Tongtian changed color!

The portal—that was his true form!

He had been caught!

Just as the Marquis of Tongtian struggled, Hundred Battles suddenly released his grip and gave a gentle tap, sending the portal flying. With an air of effortless calm, Hundred Battles reached out, snatched the Longbrow who had nearly been bitten to death by Fatball, and brought him back in an instant, saying softly, "Longbrow was rude and has been punished. Fellow Daoist Su, let this matter rest here!"

Tongtian, Lantian, and Fatball all looked grave.

Hundred Battles... so strong!

This time, Su Yu had intended a probe—Lantian understood instantly—deliberately testing Hundred Battles, gauging the strength of their own side. As a result, once Hundred Battles truly acted... they found him unfathomable!

A power beyond imagination!

Though the Marquis of Tongtian had swallowed the portal and not yet fully digested it, he was already quite strong. Yet not only was his true form easily seized by Hundred Battles, but he was also casually swatted aside with a single pat.

He was a Celestial Venerable!

In all the myriad realms today, how many could do that?

Certainly not Chaos Dragon or Moon War!

Lantian realized in an instant that Hundred Battles' strength was not something they could probe, unless they started an all-out war right now. Lantian smiled warmly: "Then let it be. Since King Hundred Battles has intervened, this matter ends here. His Majesty the Cosmic Emperor merely administered a minor punishment!"

With that, he laughed: "Lord King Hundred Battles, then... we take our leave!"

The three mighty figures vanished in an instant.

The Marquis of Tongtian, still shaken, quickly opened his portal, and with a flash, the three disappeared completely.

On the spot.

The crowd was somber.

Longbrow, whose face had just been split open by a boot, was now both shaken and gnashing his teeth: "Your Majesty, they are far too arrogant!"

Hundred Battles raised his hand slightly to stop him and said softly, "What do you make of these three?"

Changqing spoke softly: "That dog is King Wen's dog, calling itself Fatball. From its appearance... it is not the legendary white but black—this resembles records of the Sun-Eating Divine Hound! Its strength is formidable. That boot is likely King Wen's boot. King Wen did lose a boot back in the day, and for a time, he walked barefoot. Among us, perhaps only Wuji and Yueluo have a chance to fight it!"

Yueluo was undeniably strong, and Wuji, as Hundred Battles' foremost general, was also powerful—there was still hope for a battle.

Changqing continued: "As for the Marquis of Tongtian... he comes and goes as he pleases, his combat power average, but extremely troublesome and hard to deal with. And the one who spoke later..."

He looked at Yunshui Hou, who lowered his head: "That was Lantian!"

"Lantian? The one who made such a grand commotion when opening his path, for whom Su Yu burned his lifespan?"

Changqing was silent for a moment, then said: "He has progressed quickly. Last I heard, he was dead—clearly just a rumor. He is alive, and not only alive but has reached the Celestial Venerable level. As for his exact strength, since he didn't act, it's unclear."

Three Celestial Venerables appeared, and Longbrow's face was split open in an instant.

All because of a single word from Su Yu.

Was it due to a hot temper, or something else?

At this moment, Zhennan Hou had not yet returned to this side, but those three had arrived first.

Su Yu, knowing full well the relationship between the Giant King and Hundred Battles, showed no restraint—one punch heavily wounded the Giant King. This was their first direct encounter with Su Yu, and it was not a pleasant one.

Su Yu opened the passage between the upper and lower realms, wounded the Giant King, and sent someone to kill Longbrow... No matter how one looked at it, Su Yu did not seem easy to get along with!

At this moment, some in the crowd were furious, others fearful.

In an instant, three Celestial Venerables had descended.

Frightening!

Knowing that Hundred Battles was here, they still came. Su Yu's control over these Celestial Venerables was extremely strong.

These three were likely not all of Su Yu's subordinates.

Su Yu himself would not be weak either.

Was this still a young man?

...

Above the Starry Sea.

Su Yu punched and wounded the Giant King without a second glance, then quickly returned to his own affairs. By the time Tongtian and the others returned, Su Yu had already shattered the second rebellious rule force!

Below, as the two rule forces dissipated, winds surged, and a faint, colossal figure vaguely emerged from the void, as if struggling.

The Martial Emperor!

He too was beginning to prepare for his breakout!

"Very strong!"

Lantian returned with just that one sentence, saying no more. "Very strong" meant he could not probe further, could not see through how far Hundred Battles had truly advanced.

Su Yu did not respond.

One by one, tokens continued to manifest phantoms, beginning to devour those rule forces!

Rumble!

Thunder rolled endlessly, shaking heaven and earth.

In the distance, the new continent built by the strong of the Nine Realms now trembled with the faint aura leaking from the Martial Emperor!

On the continent.

The strong of the Nine Realms shivered in fear.

After a moment, an Eternal sighed in despair, grabbed a few people beside him, and transmitted: "Let's go home! Tell the younger generation never to build a continent again. We'll just stay quietly in our own realm!"

Time to go home!

This continent was doomed.

As long as Su Yu lived, they would never build a continent. It wasn't that Su Yu deliberately stopped them—he simply couldn't be bothered. But these strong knew that even if Su Yu paid no heed, a casual move from him would shatter their continent completely!

Forget it, I'm going home, not bothering with this anymore!

The Myriad Heavens Battlefield isn't all that great anyway!

I'll just stay home and laze about!

When they realized Su Yu was here, everyone gave up hope. In the blink of an eye, a crowd of experts fled, each returning to their own domain. This continent, once Su Yu was done with it, would probably be gone—everyone understood that much.

...

Su Yu indeed paid no attention.

Those were trivial matters!

With the sun and moon eternal, he now rarely bothered to look. Whether land was created or not had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Su Yu was focused on devouring the power of one great path after another.

Every time he snapped a rule force, the tremors below grew stronger. The Martial Emperor was also gathering strength, preparing to break free from his seal.

And Su Yu was also consuming the imprints left behind by these Rule Masters.

Consider it a preliminary investigation!

Broadly understanding their past realms, insights, and rule paths—this was all essential intelligence gathering.

As for Hundred Battles, he ignored him for now.

He simply couldn't be bothered to listen to his blathering!

Rule forces were snapped and devoured one by one.

Ten, twenty, thirty...

Boom!

The entire Myriad Heavens Battlefield seemed to expand at this moment.

Below, the Martial Emperor's form grew clearer, as if emerging from the endless void, colossal in size—though his head was faintly visible, pointing downward.

Su Yu continued to snap the great paths.

Forty, fifty...

When over half of the great path rule forces had been broken, the entire myriad realms trembled.

Those familiar with the situation knew that the upper realm was about to fully open!

Rumble!

The battlefield expanded. At this moment, Su Yu clearly saw the entire Myriad Heavens Battlefield enlarging, as if it had been compressed before. Now, the Starry Sea spread outward, and the four poles—east, south, west, north—all extended!

The earth shook and mountains swayed!

Vast amounts of rule force dissipated into heaven and earth, and primal energy boiled.

Below, the Martial Emperor no longer remained silent. Suddenly, he let out a roar. In the first layer of the Starry Mansion, his tightly shut eyes burst open, blazing like sun and moon!

His gaze was filled with ferocity and madness.

I am about to break the seal!

"Tai Shan!"

It was as if time had returned to the past, but today, it wasn't just Su Yu who heard it—the entire myriad realms, every being, had this furious roar explode in their ears!

It carried madness!

It carried rage!

At this moment, one could even feel the Martial Emperor's frenzied desire to kill.

"Tai Shan!"

Boom!

Waves surged sky-high, and with a thunderous crash, the continent forged by the nine realms instantly turned to dust!

The Martial Emperor!

A mighty existence!

Even Su Yu now faintly sensed that he might have underestimated the Martial Emperor. His strength after breaking the seal was even greater than imagined.

Indeed, without ever truly crossing swords with these beings, one couldn't gauge their actual power.

Judging from the present, even before breaking the seal, his aura was already overwhelmingly formidable.

Boom!

The Martial Emperor's head struggled. In the first layer of the Starry Mansion, everything turned to dust, leaving only a face—now clearly visible, filled with fury and madness.

Su Yu continued to snap the great paths.

At the same time, the River of Time trembled violently. In the Martial Emperor's great path that Su Yu had seen before, countless chains now appeared, beginning to break!

...

Within the Martial Emperor's great path, there were many chains, binding him completely.

But over the years, he had shattered some of them. Now, with his will clear and the suppression of the myriad realms fading, he seized the opportunity to snap countless more chains!

"I am coming out!"

The Martial Emperor's roar shook the heavens!

Boom!

The river's waters churned violently!

Around the Martial Emperor's great path, the currents raged wildly!

The Human Emperor had sealed this stretch of the River of Time, preventing anyone from stepping into the Rule Master realm. But the Martial Emperor didn't need to break through—he was already a Rule Master.

Moreover, he was breaking the seal in this era, the very moment when the Human Emperor's sealing power was at its weakest.

...

And at that very moment.

In the upper realm.

The Divine Emperor's Consort suddenly stirred, murmuring, "This era... the seal seems weaker!"

Beside her, the Sun Crown Celestial was startled, and Ji Wu quickly asked, "Consort... what do you mean?"

The Divine Emperor's Consort!

A former Rule Master who, to remain awake in the myriad realms, chose to sever her own rule path and cultivate anew.

Unlike the Martial Emperor or the Death Spirit Emperor, who remained sealed in their domains to preserve their realms, she had broken her path and started over.

From scratch, she quickly became a Celestial again.

Today, she sensed something different. The Divine Emperor's Consort murmured, "I... perhaps... can continue along my former path!"

Her eyes shifted, thoughts churning.

Rimian's complexion shifted slightly, and he quickly transmitted his voice: "Your Highness means... could it be... that you can advance?"

If no one else can, could the Imperial Consort?

The Divine Emperor's Consort did not know; she only had a vague feeling: "The Martial Emperor is breaking his seal, he is shaking the River of Time. My Dao should not be too far from his! By borrowing the force of his Dao's tremor, perhaps... I can continue my Dao!"

The Divine Emperor's Consort's eyes flickered uncertainly: "I do not know if it is truly possible, but... I want to try! Rimian, now our divine race is in imminent danger, so I want to try! But if my breakthrough fails, under the backlash of the Dao, I... will likely fall completely!"

Rimian's face changed!

"Yueshi's wounds are not yet healed, and I am merely lingering on... I only have the strength for one full battle; once the battle is over, I will fall... Rimian, such days are too agonizing!"

"So I want to try!"

"If I fail in my breakthrough... then you should surrender to the Immortal race, or... surrender to Su Yu!"

The Divine Emperor's Consort's eyes were extremely complex: "I will go down to the lower realm to take a look; the power of the Dao is clearer there. If I fail... you need not come looking for me, nor collect my corpse. If the Divine Emperor returns, tell him I waited for him too long and could wait no longer."

"Your Highness!"

Rimian was shaken, but the Divine Emperor's Consort smiled: "The opportunity is right before us; if we miss it, it will be gone! I am continuing my Dao, not opening a new one; there is still hope!"

With that, she broke through the air. Over there, several Immortal race strong ones changed color, and the Divine Emperor's Consort's voice rang out: "I am going to break the seal. If I succeed, I become a Ruler of Rules; if I fail, I fall here and now. Tian Gu, while I am away from the Divine race, the Divine race... everything will follow your command!"

In the crowd, Tian Gu trembled slightly and said solemnly: "Then... I wish the Divine Emperor's Consort success in continuing her Dao!"

If she succeeded, the myriad races would also have a Ruler of Rules!

As for the Saint Marquises and the like, they had no way, but the Divine Emperor's Consort still had great hope.

...

Su Yu was still breaking the Dao.

As he was breaking it, suddenly, a rumbling sound arose from the endless void corresponding to the Burial Soul Mountain. The next moment, a broken figure appeared in the myriad heavens.

Su Yu's face changed slightly!

In the distance.

The Divine Emperor's Consort walked forward step by step, looked at the struggling Martial Emperor, then at Su Yu, and slightly bowed: "This old woman... wishes to take this opportunity to continue my Dao! If I succeed, I break through the realm; if I fail, I fall! If I fail, there is no need to say more. If I succeed, Emperor Yu may make one request, and this old woman will do her utmost to fulfill it!"

Su Yu furrowed his brow.

The Divine Emperor's Consort wanted to continue her Dao!

Should he agree?

If he did not agree, he could expel her or even kill her now.

"The myriad races..." Su Yu murmured. Should he let the myriad races produce a Ruler of Rules?

He fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said solemnly: "Do not interfere with me, nor with the Martial Emperor! Success or failure depends on your luck!"

"Thank you!"

The Divine Emperor's Consort said no more and quickly flew toward the Divine Realm. Su Yu had agreed.

And Su Yu's face changed for a moment.

So be it!

Let the situation become even more chaotic. The Divine Emperor's Consort, one condition...

He hoped it would not have any effect. This was creating an enemy for himself, a powerful enemy. Su Yu was also conflicted for a moment. If Bai Zhan had been willing to cooperate, he would not have given the Divine Emperor's Consort a chance to benefit.

But now... whatever.

At this moment, Su Yu shouted lowly: "Prepare yourselves! I am about to break all the power of the rules!"

Boom!

Heaven and earth shook. At this moment, the Martial Emperor's roar came through: "Break it!"

Su Yu said no more and instantly snapped the last strand of rule power.

Boom!

A tremendous sound shook the entire heaven and earth, and the myriad heavens trembled wildly.

At the same time, in the void, an enormous body fully emerged—the Martial Emperor's body!

Indeed, he had been hung upside down in the void!

Not only that, behind his buttocks, black smoke seemed to be rising. Actually, it was not black smoke but a Netherworld passage. Here, there was also a Netherworld passage!

And his legs were indeed spread apart, spread straight!

A "T" shape!

Miserable!

King Wu and the others were truly ruthless.

And atop his legs, a massive palace secret realm was erected.

That was the eighth and ninth floors of the Starry Mansion.

These people, the Human Emperor and the others, were also treacherous.

They lived in the palace themselves, but the people from the first to the seventh floors all lived inside the Martial Emperor's body.

And the Martial Emperor's eyes opened, seeing all of this. At this moment, he went completely mad.

He had known before, but he had not witnessed his own predicament with his own eyes.

Only now did he realize what he had truly suffered.

"Tai Shan!"

A piercing roar, a mad roar, shook the entire Starry Sea, sending waves thousands of feet high sweeping across the world. Countless primal energies surged in and were devoured by him!

Su Yu even felt a pang of sympathy for him.

He quickly recorded it, secretly recording it. Otherwise, if the Martial Emperor saw it, he would surely kill someone.

My heavens!

This posture was too tragic.

Su Yu could hardly say anything.

"Break!"

The Martial Emperor's furious roar resounded through heaven and earth. At this moment, the upper realm could hear his roar. His head rose from the ground, and his long hair was pulled out from the earth, revealing black holes—passages leading to the Netherworld realm.

The River of Time trembled violently!

The chains that had sealed him began to snap one by one. The Martial Emperor rose from the ground, and in an instant, his body turned upright, standing in the void. His long hair flew wildly, though it was a bit sparse, having been broken off a lot.

He let out a fierce roar, punched through heaven and earth, tore through the river, and instantly plunged into the River of Time.

Su Yu's Heavenly Gate opened, and he immediately saw the Martial Emperor, who was madly smashing along his own Dao. Inside the Dao, chains were shattered into pieces by his blows!

The immense tremor affected the entire world. And at this moment, Su Yu faintly sensed that in the Netherworld realm, the Netherworld Emperor, taking advantage of the turmoil in the River of Time and the disturbance of the Netherworld Dao, also began to break free from his seal!

The Netherworld Emperor was also starting to break his seal!

Not only that—at this moment, within the divine realm, the former empress’s expression shifted slightly. The next instant, with a single palm strike, she tore the long river apart. Seizing the moment when the Martial Emperor’s assault caused the river to convulse, her shattered Dao began to reknit itself!

She too would seize this chance to break the seal and become a Ruler of Laws!

The three great powerhouses had all chosen this moment to break free—or rather, this was their only opportunity.

The Divine Empress also took the chance to plunge into the long river. Mighty waves crashed against her; her Dao was severed, but now, reckless and burning everything, she used the last of her life force to rejoin that path.

If it failed to connect, she would die.

If it succeeded, she would be a Ruler of Laws, and all she had burned could be restored.

“Break!”

The Martial Emperor’s roar rang out again. He had already reached the very end of his Dao, only a hair’s breadth away—yet that hair’s breadth was like an impassable chasm, blocking him. At that moment, a curtain of light appeared at the end of the tributary.

“No…”

The Martial Emperor’s despairing howl echoed. He struck again and again with his fists, his hands drenched in blood, yet he could not shatter the seal and escape. He could not believe it—what was this?

Who was stopping him?

Why?

I must break free!

Why can’t I?

And at that moment, Su Yu also tore through the long river in an instant. He glanced over, furrowed his brow slightly, then quickly reached out and summoned—from some unknown place—a projection of a great seal that materialized out of thin air.

Su Yu bellowed, “By the decree of the Human Sovereign, I pardon the Martial Emperor! Heaven and Earth bear witness—break the seal!”

In that instant, the Human Sovereign Seal blazed with light!

It shone across the myriad heavens!

A great seal, suppressing all realms and the long river itself, burst forth with dazzling radiance. A beam of light shot through the void, striking directly at the membrane within the Martial Emperor’s Dao tributary!

Boom!

A thunderous crash—the membrane, which had been unyielding and beyond even the Martial Emperor’s power to pierce, was shattered into fragments by that single ray of light!

The Martial Emperor froze. The next moment, he wasted no time; his physical form instantly emerged from his Dao.

Countless waters of the long river were devoured by him with wild abandon. In the blink of an eye, his aura swelled to unimaginable power!

In that entire stretch of the long river, the flow snapped off abruptly, drained dry by his absorption!

Not far away, another Dao tributary had seemed beyond hope of reconnection. But as the Martial Emperor sucked the river dry, the Divine Empress let out a sharp cry. Her white hair scattered in the wind—Boom!

A colossal aura surged upward from that spot!

The Martial Emperor, frenziedly gulping down the river’s waters, paid her no heed, not even a glance. He focused on rapidly strengthening himself, though his peripheral vision caught Su Yu. Gnashing his teeth, he cursed: Damn it, the Human Sovereign had meddled! His seal had contained a layer from the Human Sovereign all along—and he had never noticed!

He had nearly failed!

What a Human Sovereign!

That treacherous, petty man!

But Su Yu, for his part, sighed in admiration—the Human Sovereign… was truly formidable.

The Martial Emperor had actually been bound by an additional seal, personally laid down by the Human Sovereign.

Without the Human Sovereign Seal, the Martial Emperor likely could never have broken free. This meant the Human Sovereign had left a contingency, a check on the Martial Emperor: without the Human Sovereign’s permission, no matter how mighty the Martial Emperor was, he would remain suppressed!

Now that was reliability—even if he had left a mess behind, the Human Sovereign, on the whole, was far more dependable!

Rumble!

The entire long river quaked violently. Two Rulers of Laws had entered, absorbing vast quantities of water, causing the river to momentarily run dry. Ripples began to spread.

…

At that moment.

Upstream of the long river, a low curse was heard.

“Fuck!”

“Heh heh… the Martial Emperor died again!”

Someone laughed. The Martial Emperor had died once more… oh well, no one bothered to ask anymore. If they did, the answer was always that the Martial Emperor was dead!

The long river—it was trembling again!

And in the distance, the shadowy figure was utterly exasperated. Bullshit—this time it seemed the Martial Emperor had actually broken the seal. So he hadn’t really died before?

Fine. I’ll find a chance to kill the Martial Emperor for sure!
