Chapter 844: Slaughter!

The two kings, Wen and Wu, had emerged!

In that moment, all races trembled in fear.

Even if, at this moment, King Wu displayed strength that seemed only second-class, as if heavily wounded, who would dare underestimate the two kings, Wen and Wu?

Though many years had passed, they were still feared!

With a Human Emperor present, fear was there, but the Human Emperor alone could hardly hold up the sky, only able to defend.

King Wen, however, was even more reckless than the Human Emperor.

At this moment, Su Yu walked with unhurried steps, a faint smile always on his face, and said lightly, "What's the matter? Weren't you all shouting for blood before, wanting to annihilate my human race?"

"Why... have you suddenly stopped?"

Su Yu's voice was ethereal, casual, as if chatting about everyday matters.

But across from him, the Nether Emperor and the others were all gravely solemn.

In the middle stood the Human Emperor's physical body.

Yet now, that body seemed to have frozen in place.

"Just kill them all, why do you always want to chat with them?"

King Wu's voice rang out, as brash as ever—he was playing the part of King Wu, and it must be said, flawlessly!

"A brute is always a brute!"

Su Yu chuckled, then a brush materialized in his hand. He looked at the Nether Emperor and said lightly, "How about a game? Your strength has grown quite fast, much stronger than in the old days. If I strike you with this brush and you survive, I'll spare you today. What do you think?"

The Nether Emperor's face was grim. The next moment, he said coldly, "King Wen, no matter how strong you are, you're just one man..."

He glanced at the powerful beings around him, his confidence somewhat bolstered.

Su Yu smiled lightly. "At least you've reached the first rank. Won't you even try to take one blow from me? It'll let me see if I've improved over the years, and how badly I was wounded in the Heavenly Gate."

Su Yu's smile was radiant. "How about it? If you alone dare not... then all of you together, take this one strike, and today's matter ends here!"

The Nether Emperor's expression was heavy.

When King Wen and King Wu appeared, he had felt a tremor of fear, a hint of dread, and no longer wished to continue the slaughter.

Because even if a victor were decided,

many would surely die!

Now, King Wen said today would end, but the Nether Emperor didn't take it seriously. He was only thinking: King Wen had entered the Heavenly Gate for years—how strong had he become?

Was he injured?

He vaguely sensed that King Wen was hurt, his aura wavering, and King Wu was the same. Perhaps both were gravely wounded.

On his side, with the seven or eight powerful beings who had arrived earlier, the number had swelled to over thirty!

If King Wen and King Wu could slay thirty strong warriors between the two of them... then there truly was no way to fight.

The Nether Emperor's face turned icy. He said coldly, "King Wen, how much battle power do you have left? You're bluffing!"

Su Yu laughed. "Let's give it a try. If I'm bluffing, doesn't that give you the perfect opportunity?"

Su Yu's smile was brilliant. The next moment, the giant brush appeared, and the power of heaven and earth converged around them. The Nether Emperor and the others felt something amiss, but now they were all focused intently on King Wen and King Wu.

Behind him, several Ruler of Laws were sweating.

King Wen... some of these Rulers of Laws were later arrivals, ancient marquises. In their era, King Wen had already roamed the world. King Wen was immensely powerful and quite ruthless. In the past, when he went to the Immortal Realm, he had shattered three great paths in succession, forcing the Immortal Clan to submit.

It was the same when he visited other realms.

When King Wen went to the Fate Realm, the Fate Clan chose to surrender, not daring to defy him.

Among all the races of the myriad heavens, the Human Emperor sat at the center, but most of the powerful clans had been subdued by King Wen. Compared to the Human Emperor, they feared King Wen even more.

...

At this moment, waves of rule power emanated from Su Yu's brush. He lifted it and said with a smile, "Just one strike. Let me see if you've made any progress over the years. If you haven't and still rebel, your heads must be a bit addled."

Would they take the challenge?

Should they test him?

Or should they retreat immediately?

Retreating now would be even more dangerous. Once they fled, King Wen and King Wu would pursue, and the Human Emperor would unite his spirit and flesh...

Countless thoughts churned in his mind. The Nether Emperor's face was grim, and in an instant, he made a decision. He quickly sent a telepathic message to those behind him: "Test him. He must have been wounded in the Heavenly Gate, and coming out must have cost him dearly! He's bluffing us. Otherwise, with King Wu's temperament, he would have struck directly!"

King Wen was bluffing them!

Yes, at that moment, he reached a conclusion. The next moment, the Nether Emperor said coldly, "Then I truly wish to experience King Wen's skill! King Wen, times have changed. This era no longer belongs to you!"

Su Yu laughed heartily. "What boldness! Very well, I'll play with you all!"

The next moment, waves of great-path power radiated outward. On Su Yu's side, his aura surged continuously!

Second-class, peak second-class... in an instant, it even approached first-class!

Before Great Zhou King had merged with the Dao, Su Yu, within his own world, had already reached the peak of second-class. After Great Zhou King's fusion, Su Yu's world power grew stronger. Even without borrowing Gui's power, he could barely reach first-class.

Once he borrowed Gui's power, Su Yu would become even stronger.

As his momentum rose, no one doubted anything anymore.

Or rather, few had doubted from the start. Now, feeling his aura climb and in the blink of an eye reach the first-class level, their suspicions vanished.

Who else but King Wen could reach first-class?

In all the myriad realms, no such figure existed.

The Nether Emperor's face was grim beyond measure!

In the distance, the human warriors were ecstatic. The Human Emperor's eyes flickered, and the next moment, he roared, "Kill!"

They had to seize this moment to disrupt the others.

A group of human warriors, brimming with excitement and fervor, roared in unison: "Kill!"

Our clan's supreme power has returned!

This battle is ours to win!

Boom!

The great battle erupted once more.

Sensing the commotion behind them, the Nether Emperor and his allies dared not look back. Instead, they stared grimly at Su Yu.

Beside him, King Wu sneered coldly, "A bunch of trash. Let's just kill them all!"

"Heh!"

Su Yu chuckled lightly. The giant brush in his hand was raised, pointing at the Nether Emperor. He said softly, "I'm about to strike. If you can block it, you'll have a chance to live. Otherwise... even with numbers, you won't save your life!"

In that moment, winds rose and clouds surged; the long river trembled!

The spectacle was immense!

The entire river seemed to quake!

The crowd grew even more solemn—just how powerful was this strike?

"Some days ago, with this brushstroke, I slew a 20-Dao strong one. I hope... you can survive!"

Su Yu's voice drifted ethereally.

The hearts of the Nether Sovereign's group instantly turned heavy with gravity!

A 20-Dao strong one?

At this moment, even the Nether Sovereign himself had only just reached the First Rank; he certainly did not possess 20 Dao!

"Bluffing!"

The Nether Sovereign roared: "Who are you trying to scare? Come on!"

Are you trying to frighten us?

"As you wish!"

That giant brush, carrying an immensely powerful force, swept in!

The Nether Sovereign and his group were very solemn; they erupted with their auras, going all out, ready to counterattack!

But... the Nether Sovereign sensed it and frowned slightly.

Was the divine charm concealed within?

This strike was very strong!

Yet... vaguely, at most it seemed about equal to his own.

But he dared not be careless!

Never underestimate the Civil King—those who did had all died.

Even if the other had vanished for a long time, while they grew stronger, hadn't he grown stronger too?

"Form the formation!"

The Nether Sovereign transmitted a low shout, "Power rules, join forces to defend! Once his killing power is insufficient... counterattack immediately, kill him and the Martial King!"

"Good!"

Those people all responded.

Let's test the Civil King's depth first!

"One brushstroke settles heaven and earth!"

And at this moment, Su Yu remained ethereal and elegant; in the void, a giant arrow shot toward them, and the River's waters roiled violently!

Great waves surged in!

For strong ones like them, when they struck, waves sweeping in was perfectly normal.

The Nether Sovereign also bellowed: "Fight!"

The whole group's momentum soared!

We don't believe you can kill thirty strong ones in one strike—if you could, you'd already be invincible under heaven!

And just as their momentum peaked, the River heaved violently; Tongtian Hou flickered in and out of view in the water, also stunned—damn, they're all with their backs to me, they don't even care about us anymore?

This... truly awesome!

Yu Emperor is badass!

Mainly because he's so bold—at this moment, if the Nether Sovereign and his group weren't afraid and charged all together, thirty Rule Lords, including a First Rank existence, could definitely kill Su Yu and the Martial King!

But they didn't dare.

They still wanted to probe!

Now, they were all going all out, fully focused, ready to receive Su Yu's attack.

The River's violent waves also concealed Tongtian Hou's not-so-loud movements.

Behind, the strong ones were all in battle, and no one had time to pay attention here.

At this moment, Tongtian Hou's gate faintly opened, revealing figures one after another, all underwater, each fully concentrated, quickly assigning tasks—no random attacks, they had to seize a few and strive for a one-strike kill!

And just then, Su Yu pointed his brush, and the next moment, a loud shout: "Tai Shan, kill together!"

The Martial King's aura erupted instantly!

The Nether Sovereign's eyes split with rage, he roared: "You... shameless..."

They were going to join forces—it was supposed to be one person!

The whole group, all going all out, erupted with power, striking toward Su Yu and the Martial King—they want to join forces to kill us!

Boom!

A colossal force surged forth, but Su Yu and the Martial King... instantly fled backward.

The Nether Sovereign and his group had prepared for a bloody battle; seeing this, they all froze.

Fled?

Fled!

What a joke!

Why?

Were they too heavily injured?

In an instant, countless thoughts arose; at that moment, the Nether Sovereign and his group had just unleashed a powerful strike, in a power vacuum, and as the Nether Sovereign was slightly stunned, he seemed to sense something, suddenly changed color, and roared: "Underwater..."

Before he could finish, boom!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering sound rang out, echoing through the River, shaking heaven and earth!

At this moment, over thirty strong ones struck together, all underwater, simultaneously unleashing a full-power blow, right in the midst of the crowd, at the closest range!

Heaven and earth overturned!

The River's waters exploded, even the River itself trembled, rumbling!

A giant Mountain-Breaking Ox was directly smashed to pieces, its Dao shattered, dead beyond death!

A frog-like giant beast was also instantly torn apart, its corpse exploding, its Dao severed, rule power sweeping in all directions, bursting outright!

A tiger-like giant beast was also blasted apart by a formidable force, leaving no bones or remains!

...

In that instant, a full five Rule Lords were targeted by the group—all weaker ones at the rear, also on the periphery, who had just exerted force against Su Yu and the others, all in a power vacuum.

This time, they were focused on by over thirty strong ones going all out, an average of seven against one, and completely unexpected...

This was instant kill!

The enemy had almost no chance to resist, instantly blown apart; in a flash, five Rule Lords all had their Dao severed and fell!

And only then did the Nether Sovereign's roar fully emerge: "Underwater!"

Too late!

In that instant, five mighty ones had already fallen.

Heaven-Piercing Marquis recoiled instantly, and the others did the same, all retreating!

Heaven and earth fell silent!

Dead?

What had happened?

Where had these people… come from?

The Nether Emperor’s face turned utterly ashen—where had these strong ones emerged?

How could there be so many!

They outnumbered them!

And just then, Su Yu’s voice rang out from afar, “Kill!”

“Kill!”

Boom!

Over by War King, before he even arrived, he saw the battle erupt in an instant, while Su Yu, his face cold, his aura exploding, returned with Martial Emperor, intimidating all sides: “You cannot escape! Kneel, seal yourselves, and I’ll spare your lives!”

The Nether Emperor’s face had completely changed—what in the world was happening?

Where had they come from?

And why had King Wen and King Wu… never struck?

Had they fled earlier?

Thought after thought surged through his mind, but he had no time to ponder; he only knew danger, grave danger!

At that moment, the Human Emperor’s physical body suddenly flew forward.

The Nether Emperor tried to block it, but it was too late!

He seemed to realize something, abruptly turning to Su Yu and Martial Emperor, his eyes shifting, teeth clenched: “You… you… are not…”

They did not seem to be King Wen and King Wu!

Impossible—then who were they?

He was truly bewildered!

But there was truly no time to think—boom!

Behind him, battle erupted, and in an instant, five Rule Masters were slain; the loss in combat strength was secondary—what mattered was that everyone was terrified, gripped by fear!

The enemy had more men than they did!

The Nether Emperor roared: “A trap! Immortal Emperor… all of you, this is a trap—rescue us!”

They were surrounded!

Boom!

Over there, the myriad races were stunned, and even humanity was dazed—what had happened?

Had King Wen and King Wu brought reinforcements?

Who cared!

At this moment, no one had time to think further; the Human Emperor’s voice thundered across the land: “Kill, slaughter them all! Fight to the death!”

Rumble!

The Human Emperor’s projection battled three mighty ones, while his physical body rapidly advanced; over there, the Immortal Emperor, ignoring the Nether Emperor and his group, roared: “Go, intercept his physical body!”

They could not let the Human Emperor’s body arrive!

One after another, myriad-race experts flew swiftly toward that direction; since the myriad-race forces here were already more numerous, they hastily pulled seven or eight experts to charge at the Human Emperor’s body!

…

And at this moment, Su Yu no longer cared about exposure.

Enough!

This disguise had easily killed five Rule Masters—worth it!

“Go kill those bastards!”

Su Yu shouted clearly, commanding Martial Emperor, who instantly tore through the air and plunged into the crowd, where chaos now reigned.

Meanwhile, Su Yu kept his gaze locked on the Nether Emperor.

Sweat beaded on the Nether Emperor’s brow; soon, he gritted his teeth: “You are not King Wen—who are you?”

“Me? I’m your father!”

Su Yu smiled, radiantly, and suddenly jabbed out with his brush: “Let’s have some fun—don’t even think of running!”

“Run?”

The Nether Emperor snorted coldly, his eyes sharp; a chill aura erupted instantly, transforming into ten thousand swords that shot toward Su Yu: “You… are not First-Class!”

Su Yu seemed not quite First-Class, yet somehow close.

About the same as him.

In any case, at this moment, he too hesitated—what level was this fellow really?

No time to care—kill!

Nether Earth covered heaven and earth, spreading toward Su Yu in an instant; Su Yu, meanwhile, turned his giant brush into a blade and slashed out!

The first slash was not yet too strong.

But in the middle, a sudden surge of immense physical power erupted—boom, boom!

A thunderous crash rang out, and the Nether Emperor was sent reeling backward by Su Yu’s slash, Nether Earth shattered!

The Nether Emperor was horrified!

At this moment, Su Yu had truly reached the First-Class level, and was even climbing higher.

Yes, Su Yu had borrowed Gui’s power; now, he quickly transmitted a message in his Sea of Will: “Gui, lend me strength—sustain it! That rival of mine is here—I’m going to kill him!”

Behind the Heavenly Gate, the old man was speechless—so soon?

Besides, you can’t kill a Second-Class peak!

This fellow was truly too arrogant—did he really think that borrowing my power could let a Fourth-Class kill a Second-Class peak?

What was he thinking!

Still, he began to pour in power continuously; but no matter how much he gave, it seemed to be consumed quickly, and he couldn’t help cursing: “If you can’t win, don’t persist—flee!”

What was going on?

The consumption was enormous—enough for me to fight a life-or-death battle with a sixteen-path Rule Master!

…

Su Yu paid him no heed.

At this moment, he continuously draws upon the other's power, part of it strengthening himself, part of it empowering heaven and earth, making the force of heaven and earth more abundant, and also strengthening others!

The power that the Great Zhou King has integrated is also being constantly merged.

In this battle, he can only tie down this First-Class.

Killing... he relies on others.

...

And at this moment, Tongtian Hou retreats to the rear, his face drenched in sweat.

He and the Three of Fate are the true orchestrators!

Everyone in Su Yu's realm is not weak, but most are Third-Class, with almost none at Second-Class, while the enemy, though fewer in number, has Second-Class fighters—not just one, but four!

Of course, the Martial Emperor has arrived!

As soon as he came, he tangled with one Second-Class, and the remaining three—the Southern King, the Death King, and the Chaos Dragon—these three great powers, along with three Rule Masters, are now locked in battle!

At this rate, it's only maintaining a balance.

If the three on their side were to intervene, they could gain some advantage.

But... it's unnecessary!

In his ear comes the voice of Fate Hou: "Number 13!"

They have assigned numbers to all those myriad-race experts. When Fate Hou calls a number, it means that one can be killed; when Wuming calls a number, it means someone on their side is in danger and needs rescue.

The division of labor is clear!

Number 13!

Tongtian Hou is startled—can be killed? Who should be deployed?

Who can be pulled away to kill?

In an instant, a wave of teleportation energy ripples over the Martial Emperor. The Martial Emperor curses inwardly but dares not resist—this is Su Yu's command.

Teleport them, either to help them escape or to kill!

Understood!

Kill!

He vanishes instantly with that force. The Second-Class opponent across from him strikes empty, pauses in confusion, then his face changes color. In that same moment, the Martial Emperor appears before a Fourth-Class Rule Master.

His opponent is Xia Longwu, who has already hacked him all over with wounds, flesh and blood mangled!

The Martial Emperor appears, not even glancing at the battle situation—no need.

As per the prior agreement, teleportation means kill!

"Die!"

The Martial Emperor thrusts his spear with all his might. Boom!

That myriad-race expert, having just dodged Xia Longwu's long blade, is impaled squarely by the spear. With a thunderous crack, his head explodes!

Xia Longwu's long blade follows, slicing through, and with a *puchi*, his entire body bursts apart, his Great Path shaken by the blade's strike!

The sixth!

Almost instantly, another Rule Master is slain. The Second-Class expert who had been fighting the Martial Emperor, still searching for a new opponent, suddenly finds Xia Longwu and the Martial Emperor before him. The two appear, one with spear, one with blade, both attacking that Second-Class!

At this moment, Tongtian Hou and the others are responsible for seeking opportunities—wherever there is a chance, they send someone to kill!

Deploying troops and commanding generals!

At this moment, Wuming suddenly says: "9!"

Wuming reports the number of someone on their side in crisis.

Tongtian thinks not at all, instantly mobilizing their own Number 9. Over there, Hetu is about to strike, but his expression shifts slightly, and he vanishes from his spot in an instant. The moment he disappears, a pitch-black force suddenly explodes where he stood!

That force even corrodes a hole in the waters of the Long River!

Hetu's previous opponent, the black-clad expert, narrows his eyes, a flash of anger on his face!

Tianyuan Clan!

Hetu, teleported away, pales—a curse-killing technique, utterly silent; he hadn't even sensed it. If Tongtian hadn't moved him, he would have been severely wounded!

The next moment, the teleportation force reappears. Xia Longwu and Hetu are both moved to the front of Number 9, the Tianyuan Clan expert.

At this moment, someone roars: "It's Tongtian... they can teleport..."

Instant teleportation!

If you try to kill an opponent, they suddenly vanish; and once you fall into a disadvantage, several experts suddenly appear before you to kill you!

Their methods are terrifying!

The Nether Emperor's furious shout also comes suddenly: "Kill Tongtian, quickly!"

Kill Tongtian!

Otherwise, with someone who can constantly teleport experts within the Long River of Time, they will be completely suppressed—he can achieve the optimal combat ratio!

Just as he finishes, Tongtian teleports another person.

With a deafening crash, March kills an expert with a single bamboo strike. September grins foolishly, showing a happy face to March—still, March Ancestor is formidable; I fought for ages, and March Ancestor came and killed the opponent in one go.

The seventh!

At this point, the Nether Emperor can no longer bear it. The others are also terrified; as more die, the greater their danger!

"Retreat!"

The Nether Emperor roars. Retreat!

If they don't retreat, something may go wrong!

A group of Rule Masters all flee outward, withdrawing!

This place cannot be stayed in any longer!

And Su Yu, with a single blade strike sending the Nether Emperor stumbling back, frowns slightly and shouts: "Heavenly Gate!"

"..."

The Martial Emperor is stunned—damn it! This already? Aren't we gaining the upper hand?

Not good!

Su Yu's voice is icy, and he shouts again: "Heavenly Gate!"

The Martial Emperor grits his teeth, reluctant and helpless. Damn it, why?

The battle has just begun!

We could just chase them as they flee—why must I sacrifice the Heavenly Gate?

Despite his reluctance, he manifests the Heavenly Gate, instantly arriving before Tongtian Hou. And Tongtian Hou, without a second thought, swallows it whole—this was also Su Yu's earlier instruction!

At the critical moment, devour the Martial Emperor's Heavenly Gate!

In an instant, the Heavenly Gate was swallowed whole by him.

It had been offered willingly by the Martial Emperor, so the resistance was minor. Yet the moment Tongtian devoured it, his aura surged, climbing higher and higher without pause.

"Seal!"

Tongtian roared like thunder. A sealing force erupted, its immense power instantly enveloping the one who had just been locked in combat with the Martial Emperor. The figure froze for a fraction of a second, and in that exact moment, Su Yu’s voice rang out once more: "Detonate!"

He was telling the Martial Emperor to detonate his Dao again.

The Martial Emperor wished for nothing more than to die right then and there.

Was this truly necessary?

In a one-on-one fight, he could have handled the opponent on his own.

But... but...

"Ah!"

Driven to near madness, the Martial Emperor let out a ferocious howl as the manifestation of a Great Dao abruptly materialized. With a cataclysmic boom, it blasted toward the second-class ruler who had been briefly immobilized by Tongtian.

How devastating was the explosion of a second-class Dao?

In a flash, it blew apart.

Boom!

The face of the expert who had been bound for a mere heartbeat twisted in sheer horror. Before he could utter a single word, a loud crash echoed, and his physical body was pulverized, torn to shreds by the rampant power of the laws.

Then, the force of Heaven and Earth descended like a crushing weight, pinning down the slain expert’s shattered Dao. The Martial Emperor and Tongtian struck in unison, unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks until the Dao snapped completely, swallowed up by Su Yu’s Heaven and Earth.

At that moment, the Martial Emperor’s Dao was instantly reconnected, but his strength plummeted drastically, dropping down to the third class.

Even so, a second-class expert had been slain.

The enemy was no minor figure either; anyone who could reach the second class was formidable. This fallen warrior belonged to the Three-Headed Hellhound clan—a powerhouse in his own right, yet he had been annihilated in the blink of an eye.

The fleeing Underworld Emperor paled.

Dead?

The eighth one.

More importantly, the one who died this time was a second-class ruler.

A second-class ruler was a top-tier powerhouse.

With several key figures falling in rapid succession, the tides of battle shifted violently. Tongtian let out a low growl; having devoured the Heavenly Gate, his strength had multiplied, and his teleportation capabilities were vastly enhanced. In the blink of an eye, the Martial Emperor and the others who had just slain their foe vanished, reappearing directly before the expert of the Abyssal Race.

The Abyssal expert’s expression changed drastically.

Yet it was futile.

The Martial Emperor, currently in a state of unbridled rage, let out a furious roar. Though he had fallen to the third class, he still sent the opponent flying with a single thrust of his spear. March, September, and several others struck simultaneously, joined by Xia Longwu and Hetu. Within moments, the Abyssal expert was torn limb from limb.

The ninth one.

Further away, the Human Emperor and his comrades felt as though the battle had barely begun when the thunderous echoes of destruction kept rolling in from the flank. When the Divine Emperor finally found a moment to glance over, he froze.

With a resounding crash, he was struck by the phantom of the Human Emperor, coughing up blood, yet he could not help but stare in blank bewilderment.

Damn it.

How did so many people vanish all at once?

In a mere instant, a staggering nine Masters of Laws had perished, including a second-class ruler. Over countless years of war, the death of a second-class ruler was an exceedingly rare event.

Right at that moment, Su Yu’s voice echoed once more: "March!"

Tongtian instantly teleported March to the South Queen’s side. Without a word, March produced a bamboo staff of immense, overwhelming power. In truth, March could not unleash its full potential, but that no longer mattered.

Su Yu had set down strict rules before: when he gave the command, it had to be executed.

March was incredibly reluctant to part with it. This was a treasure he had fought tooth and nail to secure, having traded blows with Giant Bamboo, Tianmie, and September just to claim it. But there was no alternative.

A look of intense anguish crossed March’s face.

The next moment, he gnashed his teeth. With a deafening roar, the phantom of an old man materialized in the void. Face expressionless, the old man held a bamboo staff. At the exact moment the staff exploded, he swung it forcefully toward the second-class ruler fighting the South Queen.

That second-class expert was a powerhouse of the Ape Race, and his face instantly warped with terror.

What is this?

He tried to flee.

However, the bamboo staff wielded by the old man seemed to carry an immensely dense, viscous force, pinning him to the spot. The staff came crashing down, and with a thunderous blast, the giant ape’s skull exploded.

March, the South Queen, and the others struck immediately, unleashing a torrential storm of attacks that obliterated the enemy's physical body and shattered his Great Dao.

The tenth one.

And the second second-class ruler to fall.

...

Su Yu was truly willing to sacrifice anything.

The Martial Emperor’s Heavenly Gate and Dao, along with the Human Ancestor’s bamboo staff, could have been used to strengthen himself. They were of immense value. Yet Su Yu cared nothing for that; he blew them up without a second thought. Was it not satisfying to slay two second-class rulers?

Out of four second-class powerhouses, two had been wiped out in an instant.

Only at this moment did the Battle King finally break through the defensive line, rushing onto the scene. Upon his arrival, the Battle King stared in disbelief. Dead?

So quickly?

He had moved with incredible speed.

He had abandoned the defensive line blocking the Human Emperor’s physical body and rushed straight over, yet he was still too late. Su Yu’s side had already slaughtered a third of the enemy forces.

The Underworld Emperor was truly panicked now, roaring frantically once more: "Retreat! At all costs! Fast!"

Two second-class rulers had been slaughtered in one go.

It was over.

Furthermore, the South Queen and her group were now entirely unshackled, and the Battle King had joined the fray.

In the distance, the Divine Emperor and his peers saw what had happened. Enraged, they bellowed: "Charge! Charge over there and regroup with them!"

They had lost many, but if they joined forces, the Myriad Races still held numerical superiority, so they had no reason to fear.

They surged rapidly toward Su Yu's position.

The Celestial Emperor’s eyes flashed with countless divine rays as he looked toward the battlefield. Soon, his expression changed slightly, and he shouted: "Leave that area! That place... has been encompassed by his domain!"

He seemed to have realized something.

"Fighting me, and you dare to distract yourself?"

Boom!

With a colossal explosion, the phantom of the Human Emperor suddenly slammed down a massive seal. The thunderous roar shook heaven and earth, sending the distracted Celestial Emperor flying. He spat blood continuously as countless fragments of law energy scattered into the air.

At this moment, the entire battlefield froze, every gaze turning toward the massive seal hanging in the sky.

It was not the Xingyu Seal, but the weapon heralded as the absolute strongest: the Human Emperor Seal.

The Human Emperor’s Seal, unleashed by the Human Emperor himself!

With that single strike, the Immortal Emperor was gravely wounded!

Yet all saw it—the Human Emperor’s phantom trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.

The Divine Emperor’s face turned harsh: “Do you court death? If you wish to die, then continue—we shall grant your wish!”

With one blow, the Human Emperor had gravely wounded the Immortal Emperor, but it also sent his own Sea of Will into violent tremors—a sign of severe injury.

The Divine Emperor and the others were, in truth, growing afraid—afraid that this man might truly fight to the death to slay them!

Boom!

The Human Emperor paid them no heed—did he think I would be intimidated by you?

Talk to me when you can kill me!

The Immortal Emperor was wounded; the remaining two powerhouses could no longer afford distraction. They gritted their teeth, roared in fury, and clashed with him in a bloody melee.

…

At that moment, Su Yu once again materialized before the Nether Emperor, speaking calmly: “Can you escape?”

The Nether Emperor gasped for breath, glancing at Su Yu, then at the besieged powerhouses falling one after another. He gritted his teeth and said coldly: “You must know, I am a First-Rank. If I truly fight to the death… do you think you’ll fare well?”

“Is this your domain? If I go all out and shatter your world, you won’t come out unscathed either!”

“Then try it!”

Su Yu blocked his path once more. The Nether Emperor, frantic and beyond caring, let out a fierce roar. A long spear materialized, thick with the power of death and gloom, and thrust it at Su Yu amid a howling gale of yin wind!

Su Yu dodged repeatedly, but refused to let him pass, all the while absorbing the overflowing Dao power scattered throughout the realm.

Having slain so many Rule Masters, with the Martial Emperor severing his Dao, and Gui Yuan constantly supplying strength—if not now to nurture his world, then when?

His world’s power grew ever denser.

Over there, with the arrival of the War King, a great many powerhouses had been slain. The Marquis of Tongtian now felt far more at ease, constantly heeding the warnings of the two Fate Clan experts as he teleported the surrounding powerhouses.

Rumble!

Another thunderous crash—a top-tier powerhouse was slain on the spot by the War King and his allies.

The War King had not accepted Tongtian’s gate seal. He had just killed someone, but before he could revel in it, the men beside him vanished in an instant, reappearing before the last Second-Rank Rule Master.

At that moment, the Southern King, San Yue, the Martial Emperor, the Chaos Dragon, the Eight-Winged Tiger, Xia Longwu…

Many powerhouses struck together, battering that Second-Rank powerhouse until he roared in fury. Seeing no way to resist, in utter despair, his Dao power was about to explode when suddenly Tongtian let out a low shout. The power of the gate surged once more, suppressing him for an instant!

And in that instant, it was enough for them to kill him!

Boom!

Seven or eight powerhouses struck as one, blasting him into pieces!

The moment his Dao exploded, these men were teleported away again. But the War King arrived just in time… with a bang, he was sent flying backward by the immense blast, spat blood, and felt both speechless and aggrieved.

I… damn it!

He wasn’t as fast as them—they teleported away, while he had to run. By the time he got there, they had already finished the fight. He couldn’t even catch up to eat the scraps, but he did manage to arrive just in time for the Dao explosion!

The Marquis of Tongtian was equally helpless.

“War King, stop messing around!”

Tongtian shouted again, his tone tinged with frustration. “If you die, my mission fails. Stop causing trouble!”

You don’t have my gate mark!

I can’t teleport you either!

What are you doing?

If you get blown up, I’ll have a hard time explaining.

At that moment, the War King, a Second-Rank peak powerhouse, felt nothing but frustration, helplessness, pain, and dejection.

I… am very strong!

I didn’t come to mess things up—I came to help!

To help, understand?

Just then, Su Yu’s voice rang out: “War King, come help over here!”

Stop causing trouble!

Over there, more than a dozen Rule Masters had been killed in an instant; only half remained.

And now, Tongtian and the others would soon finish the battle.

Two against one was already overkill.

Su Yu calculated the time and suddenly shouted: “One minute has passed. I’ll give you one more minute to finish the fight!”

“Understood!”

The group roared in unison. Boom!

Another Rule Master was slain on the spot.

On Su Yu’s side, his power surged abruptly. He stopped granting boosts to others and instead drew all the power into himself. With a single slash of his blade, he sent the Nether Emperor’s hands gushing blood!

The War King, having finally arrived, panted heavily. I’ve done nothing but run!

But the Nether Emperor, desperate to flee, saw the War King blocking his way. He roared, thrust his spear, and sent a torrent of Dao power surging forth, flinging the War King into the air. The War King didn’t even have time to draw his blade before he was sent flying far, far away by that frenzied strike.

“I…”

The War King wasn’t badly hurt, but he was humiliated!

Everywhere he joined the battle, he was quickly knocked out!

Either blown away or blasted off!

Here he was, a dignified Second-Rank peak, yet he had accomplished little of use and even gotten injured!

He might even be the first of Su Yu’s subordinates to get hurt… no, he wasn’t even Su Yu’s subordinate.

But Su Yu paid him no mind. The War King had delayed the Nether Emperor for a moment—that was enough. The War King was still useful. A weaker fighter might have been killed, but the War King was strong; the Nether Emperor couldn’t kill him easily, if at all.

Thus, the War King served a great purpose—the best roadblock!

The moment the Nether Emperor flung the War King away, Su Yu struck with his blade. Though the blow wasn’t aimed at him, the Nether Emperor’s face changed. The space before his eyes warped, and he found himself right in front of Su Yu’s sword. With a wet thud, his arm was severed!

The Nether Emperor was shocked!

He had been influenced by Su Yu’s Dao power—he had practically delivered himself to be cut!

Their battle raged on.

Over there, another thunderous crash erupted. A mighty existence, unable to bear the agony of being besieged any longer, detonated himself in a violent explosion!

That self-destruction wounded several powerhouses. Tongtian hadn’t managed to teleport everyone away, leaving the strongest—the Martial Emperor—to bear the brunt of the blast. The Martial Emperor’s face was drenched in blood, and he couldn’t help but curse: “Why the hell was I left behind?”

Unconvinced!

Today, I'm the unluckiest one of all!

They're self-destructing, and you, damn it, why did you leave me behind?

Tongtian Hou ignored him—nonsense, you're strong now too, can't be blown to bits; if I left others, they'd easily die in the blast!

As that powerful figure self-destructed, the entire battlefield instantly lost many lives.

On Su Yu's side, there were still just as many.

And the enemy, only about ten Rule Masters left; at this moment, these ten warriors, bathed in blood and fighting fiercely, finally regrouped, but each wore a look of desolation.

What on earth is going on?

Even now, everyone might still be utterly baffled!

Yet, nearly twenty Rule Masters have already died!

And across from them, over thirty Rule Masters now had them tightly surrounded!

How could they escape now?

Truly bewildered—the War King self-destructed his Great Path yet still possessed third-rank power; what's that about?

Why are Tongtian and his people here?

And where is the Civil King?

Even now, some still haven't figured things out; time passed too quickly, and all they saw was people being killed one after another!

At this moment, among the gathered warriors, someone roared: "Come any closer, and we'll all self-destruct together! With so many Rule Masters blowing up, you'll definitely lose plenty of your own!"

Ten Rule Masters self-destructing—you'd suffer heavy losses too, even with teleportation, it'd be too late!

At this point, they had no choice but to rely on this threat to deter the enemy!

Otherwise, if this continued, they'd all be slaughtered!

The ten warriors from myriad races erupted with aura, showing a resolve to fight to the death—even if they died, they'd make it hurt for you!

"Let us leave..."

Someone made an offer—they wanted to get out of here, out of this terrifying place!

This battle—they'd been killed for no reason at all!

Suddenly, over thirty Rule Masters appeared—no one had expected that!

And at this moment, Tongtian hesitated too; ten Rule Masters self-destructing—he couldn't guarantee his own people would be safe; maybe a few would die, but if they didn't encircle them, these people might escape.

What to do?

He quickly looked toward Su Yu; at this point, he didn't know how to decide.

And at that moment, Su Yu's eyes turned cold and fierce; the next second, he bellowed: "Human Emperor!"

With that shout, the Human Emperor, who was in the midst of battle, instantly turned his gaze this way, his expression shifting—he felt like cursing!

Damn!

I get it!

"You..."

He wanted to curse, but... forget it, no cursing!

Right then, the Human Emperor's physical body, which had been charging the lines, instantly retreated, moving with incredible speed.

And Su Yu roared: "Kill them all!"

Tongtian's face changed, and the ten Rule Masters' expressions also twisted violently; one gritted his teeth and roared: "Fight to the death! Self-destruct! Blow them to pieces!"

Boom!

A thunderous sound shook heaven and earth, and at that very moment, the Human Emperor's body suddenly transformed into a massive mountain, covering the area of their explosion!

Rumble!

After a series of deafening blasts, everything fell silent, and the Human Emperor's body, tattered and mangled like a rag, crashed heavily into the river!

Su Yu nodded slightly—not bad!

My people are unharmed.

The Human Emperor's body is truly strong!

Impressive!

The self-destruction of ten Rule Masters didn't even shatter his flesh and bones—amazing, truly amazing!

Making use of waste—Su Yu had actually noticed that the Human Emperor's body was already badly injured; since that was the case... getting hurt a bit more wouldn't matter.

And look, didn't it trade for the lives of many powerful foes?

Sure, his own people could have killed them, but with so many self-destructing, a few might have died!

"The Human Emperor understands me!"

Su Yu laughed heartily—truly effective!

I shouted one word, and you knew exactly what I meant—impressive!

As expected of the Human Emperor!

Admirable, truly admirable!

And at this moment, everyone else was utterly shocked!

This... is this how things are done?

On the human side, everyone was puzzled—he's not the Civil King, so who is he?

But he's just like the Civil King... cunning, ruthless, and treacherous!

He actually used the Human Emperor's body as a shield!

This... too brutal!

The key was, the Human Emperor actually went along with it!

Of course, the results were spectacular!

In the blink of an eye, on Su Yu's side, aside from the Nether Emperor, his people had slaughtered the rest!

The killing shook the entire river violently—too many Rule Masters had died!
