Chapter 877: Suppressing the Four Directions

Six Directions Mountain.

Su Yu surveyed the four corners, Six Directions Mountain towering high above.

All around, scattered cultivators of considerable strength from many territories had already arrived, but the two overlords of the northeastern region—Blade Valley and Snow Dragon Mountain—had yet to appear.

These two were the ones everyone counted on to stand against the masters of Six Directions Mountain.

It wasn’t that they were unwilling to seek shelter under a great power; the prerequisite was that such a power must be vast enough. For those second-tier experts, Six Directions Mountain’s influence was not weak, but there was a condition: these men must still be alive.

If they had fallen... absurd! Who would willingly submit to a second-tier Black Tomb?

At this moment, Luo Yun and Zhi Gu, along with the others, all wore expressions of deep worry.

Too many experts had come!

The two first-tier powers had not yet arrived!

Once they did, there would be two at the Sixteenth Path level and over twenty at the second tier.

Such formidable strength was beyond what Six Directions Mountain could withstand. Even if Black Tomb truly entered the Sixteenth Path, two fists could not fight four hands.

At this point, a second-tier expert who had been subdued earlier spoke with a grim face, his voice low: “Lord Black Tomb, I believe we should invite Lords Gui, Mu, and Yu to emerge from seclusion. Otherwise, as things go on, rumors spread that these lords have fallen... and Six Directions Mountain will have no way to subdue them!”

Su Yu looked at him and smiled, “Makes sense!”

He nodded slightly, then chuckled, “No rush, hasn’t it even started yet? The main characters always come last. Look, Snow Dragon Mountain and Blade Valley haven’t arrived yet, have they?”

With that, Su Yu laughed, “Alright, why the hurry? I’m not worried, so why are you? If someone’s going to die, it’ll be me first. Wait until I’m dead, then you can pledge allegiance to anyone you like!”

Su Yu laughed again. The man who had just spoken said in a low voice, “That’s not what I meant, my lord. It’s just that the lords have not appeared for so long... everyone is indeed concerned.”

Su Yu nodded: “I understand. It’s fine. I’ve already communicated with them. If the need arises, these lords will appear!”

Then Su Yu smiled, “Go, invite the honored guests to the main hall to sit. Once the people from Snow Dragon Mountain and Blade Valley arrive, the unification of the northeastern region of the Forbidden Gorge shall begin!”

“My lord...”

“Go!”

Su Yu turned his head,

glancing at the newly subdued experts, and said coolly, “What, my words no longer carry weight?”

The men dared not argue. Black Tomb was moody and unpredictable, a ruthless killer without mercy. Regardless of whether the six masters of Six Directions Mountain were dead or alive, angering Black Tomb now would bring no benefit.

Soon, these men dispersed.

From all directions, experts began advancing toward Six Directions Mountain.

Faint voices of discussion could still be heard.

“I heard Lord Gui and the others died long ago!”

“This Black Tomb sure has guts!”

“Let’s see how he handles this!”

“Heh, handle it? I’d say it’s more like handling a corpse!”

...

A group of experts deliberately spoke these words, their voices not low, so that even Su Yu could catch a few.

Su Yu said nothing. He sat down at the mountain peak, a tea table appearing before him, and the attendant beside him quickly poured tea.

Luo Yun and Zhi Gu approached, both wearing worried expressions.

What could be done now?

Who had leaked the news?

Zhi Gu said gravely, “My lord, someone among us must have betrayed us!”

That day, there had been six territories and six patrol envoys.

Apart from Zhi Gu and Luo Yun, three others also knew of this matter, including a second-tier expert named Qi Sheng, skilled in healing arts.

Now, Zhi Gu was clearly suspecting this Qi Sheng.

The other two third-tier experts had known little before and had little chance to act alone.

Su Yu smiled, “So what?”

Zhi Gu was taken aback: “My lord, this... if the news spreads, we... we might be in great trouble!”

Su Yu chuckled lightly, “And then? Since we’ve come this far, should we tell everyone, ‘Oh, the six masters of Six Directions Mountain are truly dead’? Now, we can only hold on!”

Zhi Gu wanted to say more but hesitated.

Hold on?

Easy to say!

He sighed, “My lord, once the people from Snow Dragon Mountain and Blade Valley arrive, they will surely make trouble!”

Su Yu nodded slightly, then smiled, “Not only that. I suspect the envoys of the two forbidden lands might also meddle, and perhaps some from other regions want a piece of the action too!”

Then Su Yu laughed again, “Alright, if worst comes to worst, just surrender. If you surrender, would they kill you? I, as your leader, am the one in the most danger. I haven’t said anything, so why are you afraid?”

Beside him, Luo Yun was also deeply troubled.

That was easy to say, but seeing that Six Directions Mountain might collapse at any moment, Luo Yun felt utterly helpless. He secretly blamed Black Tomb—if he hadn’t been so ostentatious, trying to wipe out everyone in one fell swoop and dominate the northeastern region, Six Directions Mountain might still stand here!

As he was thinking, his expression changed.

In the distance, a surge of blade aura swept across the sky.

A colossal greatsword flew through the air,

crowded with figures, all experts.

The people from Blade Valley had arrived!

“It’s the Blade Lord!”

The experts ascending the mountain cried out in surprise and joy. The Blade Lord had come!

The next moment, a dragon’s roar shook heaven and earth!

“The people from Snow Dragon Mountain are here!”

...

The experts of both major powers had arrived!

And these two powers boasted many experts.

Previously, they had subdued some people, originally having second-tier experts. Now, each had brought three second-tier experts with them. At this moment, there were two first-tier experts and twenty-three second-tier experts on site.

On Su Yu’s side, aside from himself, there were only five second-tier experts.

Two of them had been subdued during earlier campaigns.

Counting only the second-tier experts, in the entire northeastern region, not including Su Yu, the Blade Lord, and the others, there were twenty-eight, and some had been killed.

If none had been killed, there would have been even more—over thirty second-tier experts.

Even if the Firmament Mountain side is sparse, the other three factions, just a single second-class domain like the Forbidden Canyon, must harbor a hundred souls!

Utterly terrifying!

As for the first-class, there were originally five within this realm.

An equally terrifying number!

One must know that despite the myriad races accumulating for countless years, they boasted but seven of the first class and over ten of the second; though the third and fourth were many, they paled in comparison to this place.

A single Forbidden Canyon possessed greater might than the entire Myriad Realms!

Su Yu let out a soft sigh of exclamation, which quickly gave way to a smile: "So many powerful experts, how wonderful!"

Beside him, the expressions of Luo Yun and his companion flickered unpredictably.

Wonderful?

More like wonderfully perilous!

The factions of Snow Dragon Mountain and Saber Valley had arrived!

"Let us go and see!"

Su Yu took a step forward, walking toward the eighth tier; the eighth tier was the heart and center of today’s assembly.

As the experts of the entire Northeastern Region gathered, the whole of Six Directions Mountain surged with intersecting ripples of aura, a display of strength that remained deeply staggering.

Regions like the Forbidden Canyon were not overly common even within the Gate.

Surrounded by four great forbidden lands, it possessed a uniquely blessed environment!

Here lay one great advantage: with the four forbidden lands present, the Devouring Locusts were few, whereas other regions were far more brutal, plagued by swarms of locusts that brought ceaseless ruin upon the world.

……

The Great Hall of the Eighth Tier.

Auras surged and intersected!

With the arrival of the two great powers, the crowd fell into a chaotic clamor of greetings and murmurs.

"Valley Master, this Six Directions Mountain harbors far too grand an ambition; if they truly possess the strength, unifying the Northeastern Region would pose no issue... the catch is, it is said that those Six Lords... perished long ago!"

"Indeed, even if unification comes, it is a matter for Saber Valley and Snow Dragon Mountain; by what right does this Black Tomb speak for us?"

"Exactly, he has even slaughtered not a few chieftains, a fellow of ruthless heart and cruel hand; the Valley Master and the Snow Lord must deliver justice for us!"

"……"

The crowd chattered away in a frenzy of voices!

The Saber Master remained coldly indifferent, ignoring them entirely as he sat down of his own accord; the Snow Dragon did the same, the two taking their seats flanking the left and right, whereupon someone spoke again: "My Lords, if you are to sit, it should be at the seats of honor! How can you deign to sit beneath this Black Tomb? A mere fifteen-path cultivator, what right has he to stand above you both?"

The Saber Master looked toward the speaker, saying calmly: "What is the rush? Did Gui and those other fellows truly die? Let us wait and see; if you leap about now and it turns out those few are actually alive... will you be the ones to handle them?"

As these words left his mouth, a hush fell over the great hall.

True enough!

It was still uncertain!

If they were indeed alive, that meant three experts of the sixteen paths!

The few who had been leaping up and down just moments ago grew quiet; if they kept jumping, all eyes would be fixed upon them.

And at that very moment, the sound of footsteps echoed.

Outside the great hall, Su Yu advanced with five second-class experts following in his wake, while the rest waited beyond the threshold; clad in a black cloak with his long hair flying in the wind, Su Yu strode inside and remarked indifferently: "Those beneath the eighth path, get out! You lack the right to enter!"

At these words, the countenances of several within the great hall shifted subtly.

Not every chieftain belonged to the second class!

Su Yu strode forward, looking neither left nor right, heedless of the crowd as if no one else existed, and said coldly: "Those beneath the eighth path shall stand outside the doors and listen! You have no sense of decorum! Is this a place where the likes of you can come and sit?"

He abruptly glared at several third-class chieftains, whose faces instantly turned ashen.

A fifteen-path Black Tomb still held a powerful, terrifying deterrence over them!

Some cast pleading glances toward the two first-class experts; the Saber Master raised an eyebrow slightly and said softly: "Black Tomb, do not be overly ostentatious! Very well, those beneath the eighth path should indeed leave; truly, they are too weak, and involving them may not be a blessing!"

Hearing this, many cursed silently in their hearts.

As expected, it truly was a world where the strong preyed upon the weak!

Even the Saber Master was no exception, completely unwilling to involve cultivators beneath the eighth path.

Left with no choice, several chieftains rose and departed.

In an instant, the entire great hall fell into absolute silence.

Six individuals stood on Su Yu's side, while the other factions numbered twenty-five in total.

Thirty-one experts!

Yet outside the doors, those people did not leave; this concerned the future landscape of the Northeastern Region, so who would dare depart rashly?

Even if they could not enter, it did not bar them from listening from the sidelines!

Outside the doors, over a hundred Masters of Laws had gathered by now.

A massive throng!

Every heart was heavy.

Meanwhile, Su Yu walked up to the high dais of the hall entirely at his own leisure; originally, there were six chairs arranged atop the hall, and Su Yu, as the Grand Commander, actually had no seat assigned to him, but with a casual wave of his hand, five of the chairs shattered into dust, leaving only one, upon which he sat straight down!

This act struck a shock through the crowd!

The five individuals beside him all underwent a change in expression.

Below, someone cried out in astonishment: "Black Tomb, what is the meaning of this?"

Was this a direct admission that the Six Lords of Six Directions Mountain had perished?

Heavens!

This Black Tomb must be mad!

Su Yu looked toward the speaker and said indifferently: "Clamorous fool, is it your place to question me?"

A jolt went through everyone's mind as they turned their eyes toward Snow Dragon Mountain and Saber Valley; the Saber Master and the Snow Dragon exchanged a glance, and the Snow Dragon spoke up: "Be at ease! Since Black Tomb has bidden us come, we shall listen before making our decision; what is the hurry?"

Seeing that neither of these two had turned their faces in anger, the crowd could only suppress their urges and hold their peace, each harboring different thoughts.

Black Tomb... had truly gone mad!

The moment he arrived, he destroyed the seats of the Six Lords; was this not openly telling everyone that Six Directions Mountain possessed no such lords?

They were all dead!

Yet Su Yu remained incomparably serene, looking out across the room, and said calmly: "Very well, the assembly is not yet complete; I, Black Tomb, have come out, so let those who should appear show themselves. Do you still wish to reap the benefits of the bystander? Have the people of the Necromantic Hell and the Fallen Soul Valley arrived?"

"Hehe..."

A light laugh drifted inward, unsettling the hearts of all as if it would dissolve their very souls; under the horrified gazes of the crowd, an incomparably enchanting woman clad in black silk appeared, wearing a faint smile, exceedingly seductive!

Fallen Soul Valley!

Someone's heart trembled violently—someone from the Forbidden Land had arrived!

Not only that, but the next moment, another hoarse laugh echoed: "Black Tomb, you've finally agreed to see us!"

As the voice fell, in the distance, outside the great hall, a shadowy figure appeared out of thin air, deathly aura boiling. The surrounding Rule Lords hastily retreated, their faces shifting in shock—people from the Netherworld Hell!

Two Forbidden Land envoys had come!

"We pay our respects to the two lords!"

At that very moment, from outside, another laugh rang out!

In an instant, three figures materialized.

Two men and one woman.

Adding the two Forbidden Land experts, five powerful beings had appeared in the blink of an eye!

And... they all seemed to be of the highest rank!

Suddenly, the entire hall fell into dead silence. Many faces changed color—five great experts!

"Heavenly Silkworm Domain!"

"Precipice Cliff!"

"Tiger Soul Cave!"

Someone recognized the three later arrivals, all of them turning pale. These were the three great powers from other regions of the Forbidden Gorge, each formidable—some even boasted more than one Sixteen-Dao expert!

At this moment, everyone was shaken.

They had all come!

And crucially, they had arrived alongside the two Forbidden Land envoys!

No need for pleasantries, no need for restraint, no need for any of that.

When you came with the Forbidden Land envoys, did you need such things?

No!

When they sensed that Black Tomb had shattered five thrones and, after a quick investigation, found no trace of any strong figures in Six Directions Mountain, they chose to reveal themselves immediately!

No need to wait for anything!

What was a mere Black Tomb?

As for Blade Master and Snow Dragon, they were indeed formidable, but today, they had come with the Forbidden Land envoys. Strong as the two might be, so what?

In an instant, five experts appeared within the great hall!

The seductive woman, the envoy from Fallen Soul Valley, smiled alluringly: "Black Tomb, you truly have audacity beyond measure. You dared to pretend six strong figures were alive and establish Six Directions Mountain. That alone is bad enough, but you also sought to stir up trouble and throw the entire Northeastern Domain into chaos..."

Su Yu looked at her, his expression calm. "This place is the border between Eternal Life Mountain and Netherworld Hell. What does Fallen Soul Valley have to do with it? The Northeastern Domain is not yet Fallen Soul Valley's territory!"

At these words, everyone's heart quaked!

He's insane!

How dare you speak to a Forbidden Land expert like that?

The woman was taken aback for a moment, then her smile gradually faded: "Black Tomb, have you lost your mind?"

Who was she?

An envoy from the Forbidden Land!

This Black Tomb had truly gone mad!

Did he think he was already doomed, so nothing mattered anymore?

How dare he speak to a Forbidden Land expert in such a manner!

Beside her, the gaunt old man from Netherworld Hell let out a sinister chuckle, finding it rather amusing. He said in a ghostly tone, "Black Tomb, I hear you cultivate the path of Yin and Death... perhaps you won't necessarily die. Beg me, and I might spare you..."

He laughed.

But Su Yu frowned at him and said after a moment, "Who is your superior in Netherworld Hell? Under which Great Emperor do you serve? The Lord of the Dead is immensely powerful, domineering, and arrogant. Domineering arrogance is not stupidity. What, are you trying to flaunt your status before me? Beg you? Are you joking?"

The gaunt old man furrowed his brow. Have you lost your mind?

How dare you speak to me like that?

He, too, was stunned!

At this moment, one of the three other experts, a burly middle-aged man with some golden fur on his forehead—a strongman from Tiger Soul Cave—sneered, "What audacity! My lords, let me seize him and behead him, to atone for your offense!"

This Black Tomb had completely lost his mind!

Fine, he would seize the chance to kill him directly...

Just as he was about to strike, Blade Master's blade aura radiated outward, and he shouted, "Enough, Earth Tiger. This is not your Tiger Soul Cave. This is the Northeastern Domain! It's not your place to throw your weight around here!"

The burly man paused, looking at him, and said in a low voice, "Blade Master, what are you doing? This Black Tomb has insulted the two Forbidden Land envoys. Are you going to stand up for him?"

Blade Master said coolly, "Whether to kill or not is not for you to decide. Haven't you noticed that the two lords haven't spoken yet? Who are you to curry favor? Whether the two lords accept your favor is not something you can decide either!"

With that, Blade Master turned to Snow Dragon and said coldly, "The three of you have come from afar, accompanying the two envoys. Do you think you can lord it over the Northeastern Domain?"

Then he looked at the two envoys and said in a deep voice, "My lords from the Forbidden Land, whether it's Six Directions Mountain or anything else, these are all people of the Northeastern Domain. By rights, the Northeastern Domain belongs to Netherworld Hell and Eternal Life Mountain... Since no one from Eternal Life Mountain is here today, then Netherworld Hell... shouldn't meddle in other matters. Why have the two lords come here today with these three?"

The woman from Fallen Soul Valley glanced at Blade Master, somewhat surprised.

What audacity!

Had these people all gone mad?

Was this a challenge to Fallen Soul Valley?

Everyone knew that among the four Forbidden Lands, Fallen Soul Valley was the most active. Many factions in the Forbidden Gorge were actually nurtured by them, including the three experts who had come this time. Among them, Heavenly Silkworm Domain and Precipice Cliff were their secret protégés.

In truth, it was almost an open secret.

Only Tiger Soul Cave, being closer to the Southeastern Region, was influenced by both Fallen Soul Valley and Netherworld Hell.

So, it was only natural for Fallen Soul Valley to meddle in the affairs of the Northeastern Region!

Besides, even if it was far away, when a Forbidden Land intervened, who dared to question it?

The seductive woman smiled, saying nothing more to Blade Master. After all, he was also a Sixteen-Dao expert. She turned to Su Yu and said with a charming smile, "Black Tomb, I sought you out before, but you avoided me. Quite bold of you! Six Directions Mountain wants to unify this place? I think... you're not qualified."

With that, she looked at the two Second-Rank experts behind Su Yu and smiled, "Come over here. This time, Fallen Soul Valley has come to support you, to work with Heavenly Silkworm Domain and Precipice Cliff in taking control of this place... Now that the situation has changed..."

Before she could finish, the old man from Netherworld Hell chuckled, "Who said you have the right to decide anything? The Eastern Netherworld Great Emperor has decreed that Snow Dragon Mountain and Blade Valley are to be integrated and cooperate with Tiger Soul Cave to govern the Northeastern Domain! Fallen Soul Valley has interfered too much. This place is not within your jurisdiction!"

Above, Su Yu sat with his arms crossed and his legs crossed, watching calmly.

Behind him, the five Second-Rank experts exchanged glances, looking somewhat cautious. The next moment, someone quickly slipped away.

Including the three former Inspection Envoys!

Among them, Zhi Gu, who had just been wearing a worried expression, swiftly departed, immediately distancing himself from Su Yu and taking refuge behind the Fallen Soul Valley envoy.

Beside Su Yu, Luo Yun's face changed, and he urgently looked at Zhi Gu!

Zhi Gu had betrayed them!

Then... the information had likely been leaked by Zhi Gu!

No, the next moment, that healer, Qisheng, without a word, instantly ducked behind the Deathly Hell emissary. Su Yu was taken aback, then grew intrigued, and chuckled, "Qisheng, you're quite something. Deathly Hell favors those on the path of death—you, a cultivator of life's path, why flee to Deathly Hell?"

This, I truly didn't foresee!

I knew betrayal was possible... perfectly normal!

Even Zhigu found it unsurprising. But Qisheng, a life-path practitioner, defecting to the death-path side... that was the real news and gossip!

That Qisheng, thin and frail, pale-faced, upon hearing this, looked at Su Yu with some wariness and muttered, "Black Tomb, I didn't want this either... but you'd even deceive the forbidden lands... I don't want to court death with you! The consequences of deceiving a forbidden land are too severe!"

As for why he defected to Deathly Hell, he didn't need to explain. The gaunt old man sneered, "Naive! Life and death are one. Do you think Deathly Hell only accepts death-path experts? Wrong—life-path cultivators are also what we need!"

Su Yu was stunned!

Then, lost in thought, the Lord of Death!

Interesting!

Was he sensing that his own heavenly attribute was too singular, seeking to merge life and death?

If so... this lord's ambition was vast!

He wanted to wield both life and death!

No wonder he was even gathering life-path experts.

Behind Su Yu, the two other experts who had previously defected—perhaps they hadn't betrayed, or hadn't found a forbidden land, or weren't qualified to seek one—hesitated for a moment, then swiftly ran toward Blade Master and Snow Dragon.

Whatever happened, they'd stick with these two native experts first.

In the end, only Luoyun, a second-rank, remained by Su Yu's side.

Su Yu was also surprised. He turned to look at Luoyun and said, puzzled, "Didn't you have some ties with the people from Fallen Soul Valley? You didn't betray?"

Strange!

Yes, in this place, with the forbidden land's emissary arriving, not betraying was the oddity!

Betrayal was the norm!

So Su Yu wasn't surprised at all, and neither were the others. But that Luoyun stayed by Su Yu's side—that was what baffled everyone. Even if you hadn't betrayed before, you should leave Black Tomb now!

Because Black Tomb was too insane—he had just insulted two forbidden land experts!

Luoyun was silent for a moment, then finally said, helpless, "Lord... I... have nowhere to go! The one I had ties with before... is dead!"

Su Yu was surprised, and below, the seductive woman paused, then suddenly laughed, "How amusing. You mean that idiot I killed? No wonder! Are you afraid I'll kill you?"

Luoyun looked helplessly at Su Yu—yes, I have no choice!

I actually... actually wanted to.

But the one I was close to was killed by this woman. I heard Fallen Soul Valley was in turmoil, an internal purge, and his faction was wiped out!

Bad luck!

Now approaching Fallen Soul Valley would be suicide!

As for Deathly Hell, they wouldn't take him either!

And with Snow Dragon and Blade Master... Luoyun was also stuck. When Gui was around, their relationship was poor, and by extension, his ties with these two were also strained.

On Su Yu's side, though it was about to sink, he himself... seemed to have no path left!

Su Yu looked at him with sympathy: "You're truly pitiful!"

Luoyun cursed inwardly!

Pitiful your mother!

And you? You idiot, you had to stir things up—you're the unlucky one!

And you dare pity me?

By now, the Six Peaks Assembly had become a joke, and Black Tomb was being ignored!

He was doomed!

As for who would rule the Northeast Domain, the two forbidden lands would decide!

What everyone feared more was who would come to govern the Northeast Domain?

The Six Peaks Assembly was an opportunity!

If not for that, it would have been exposed long ago—after all, Zhigu and the others knew the situation and had already betrayed Su Yu.

If the two forbidden lands had wanted, they could have unmasked him earlier.

They didn't, because they were waiting!

Waiting for everyone to gather!

Now, the topic had nothing to do with Black Tomb.

The gaunt old man said directly, "Fallen Soul Valley can get lost. Don't forget, this is our turf. My lord is boundless in power—does Fallen Soul Valley want war with Deathly Hell?"

The seductive woman sneered, "War? The Lord of Death is indeed mighty, but don't forget, this is within the Heavenly Gate!"

"Within the Heavenly Gate, so what? My lord is mighty!"

...

Su Yu continued watching from above, then after a while, he laughed, "Why not just fight? Whoever wins rules—isn't that common sense? Why all this verbal sparring?"

Everyone was stunned!

At that moment, they all froze.

Were you afraid you wouldn't die fast enough?

The two forbidden land emissaries hadn't bothered with you yet, and you were getting cocky?

Both emissaries and the three first-ranks turned to look at Su Yu, the five experts glaring at him with murderous intent—did you want us to kill you first before you'd be happy?

The seductive woman said coldly, "Kill Black Tomb. Whoever kills him rules the Northeast Domain!"

The gaunt old man also said darkly, "Agreed. He's at least a 15-path. Earth Tiger, you three—whoever kills him rules this land!"

Such was the power of forbidden lands!

A word could decide!

At that moment, the three experts' eyes lit up, hearts filled with joy.

Kill Black Tomb?

Whoever killed him would take this place?

That was too easy!

Of course, the hardest part now was that each had two rivals.

In an instant, the three struck!

But not at Su Yu—all three charged at him together. The burly man from Tiger Cavern transformed into a tiger, claws gleaming with cold light, moving with incredible speed.

But the woman from Heavenly Silkworm Territory suddenly spat out countless threads, slicing through the void—part aimed at Su Yu, part to block the other two.

The one from Rock Cliff instantly petrified the surroundings; with a single step, the entire hall was turned to stone!

The woman's silk threads and the tiger's claws were all petrified by him!

The old man of Rock Cliff chuckled, "You two, let me from Rock Cliff handle it!"

He moved with incredible speed, a flash and he was gone, appearing before Su Yu in an instant!

At that moment, the voices of Su Yu rang in the ears of Blade Master and Snow Dragon below: "Kill those two, be quick. I'll suppress them; you are not weaker than them!"

Though these two were only at the peak of the Second Rank, here... as far as the eye could see, it was all Su Yu's world!

Unable to elevate them, then suppress the opponents!

Now that everyone had reached the Second Rank, there was naturally hope to kill, especially since the two were accompanied by several other Second Ranks.

Their eyes moved, and in the next moment, Blade Master lunged straight at the tiger.

Meanwhile, Snow Dragon instantly froze the Heavenly Silkworm woman.

The Second Ranks they had brought were all shaken, having heard the transmissions from both leaders, and for a moment did not know what to do. Jin Feng, however, hesitated not at all and swiftly followed Snow Dragon to attack the Heavenly Silkworm!

This scene also stunned the two forbidden land experts.

The seductive woman's face changed, and she immediately shouted angrily, "How dare you!"

Are these people mad?

You dare to lay hands on those I brought?

Are you provoking the forbidden lands?

And at that moment, Su Yu's voice rang out, cold and detached: "You cannot represent the forbidden lands. What is the insignificant Northeast Domain in the eyes of the forbidden lands? You are just abusing your power for personal gain! If you truly mess up your mission, wait for the forbidden lands to punish you! What are you being arrogant about?"

Everyone was stunned!

Black Tomb?

He still has time to speak?

At this moment, everyone quickly looked toward Su Yu. They had just been distracted by Blade Master and the others and hadn't bothered to look, because there was no need!

The one from Rock Cliff was certain to kill Black Tomb!

Even if it took a little time, it was a sure kill!

However, when they looked, their eyes nearly popped out!

In their horrified gazes, Su Yu was like a divine being. He sneered, his hands gripping the shoulders of the old man from Rock Cliff, and with a low shout, boom!

Torn into pieces!

A First Rank was directly ripped apart by Su Yu, blood splattering everywhere!

Not only that, before they could react, an immensely powerful path of Yin Death erupted instantly, deathly aura corroding heaven and earth. Even the messenger from the Dead Spirit Hell was horrified and stepped back in an instant!

And the deathly aura corroded all the flesh and blood in an instant!

Su Yu's speed was astonishing, as if his physical body had shattered the void. He threw a punch, and that punch unleashed the power of thunder. Thunder roared, boom!

A loud crash!

In the void, a great path seemed to be broken by his fist!

A crackling sound!

A scream came, and Su Yu reached out and grabbed a spherical Sea of Will from the void. Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Su Yu grinned, then suddenly his brow split open as if another mouth had appeared. At his brow, a great path manifested and swallowed the Sea of Will in one gulp!

Boom!

The great path was completely severed!

Faster than imagination. Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Su Yu's voice came coldly: "You two messengers, do not move. I still show respect to forbidden land messengers, otherwise... don't blame me for being rude!"

The seductive woman was horrified, her coquettishness long gone, and she said in disbelief, "20 paths..."

Stronger than her!

That wasn't the key; she had seen experts with more than 20 paths before. She was simply horrified by his audacity, ruthlessness, and methods of killing!

A 16-path expert, even if weaker than him, would not be killed so easily!

But... the fact was here!

In that single instant, the opponent was slain by Su Yu!

Because he had never expected it.

Moreover, the opponent had dared to approach Su Yu. The moment he got close, Su Yu's physical pressure reached its peak, forcibly suppressing the man so he could not lift his head or speak!

The pressure was immense!

All of this resulted in the opponent being almost instantly killed by Su Yu!

The two messengers were greatly shaken in that instant, but they truly dared not move.

Because they felt the killing intent!

Before they could think further, a loud noise came from not far away. The woman from Heavenly Silkworm Territory was the first to suffer. After being instantly frozen, a golden long blade swept across, the power of the golden great path erupting, directly cutting off her head, but it instantly regenerated.

Yet it still heavily wounded her!

Because the woman from Heavenly Silkworm Territory suddenly found herself suppressed by an immensely powerful pressure. Her strength suddenly dropped, and she was not accustomed to it, so she was instantly heavily wounded by the two peak Second Ranks!

Before she could flee, a fist appeared!

Su Yu materialized instantly!

Heavenly Silkworm!

I am quite familiar with this!

It is actually the Dragon Silkworm of the Ten Thousand Realms, but the Dragon Silkworm is a hybrid of dragon clan and heavenly silkworm. The heavenly silkworm is purer. Su Yu still remembered the Dragon Silkworm, after all, one had swallowed Wang Hu and then spat him out, angering him into changing his name to Silkworm Exterminator King—this one must be remembered!

The Dragon Silkworm was also the first clan to be exterminated in the Ten Thousand Realms, a race with an Eternal sitting in charge.

Today, seeing this heavenly silkworm, Su Yu recalled these things. With a smile, under the woman's horrified gaze, he threw a punch, and the power of thunder erupted instantly. With a thunderous boom!

The heavenly silkworm was directly blasted apart!

Countless silk threads snapped!

In an instant, Snow Dragon's freezing power rose again, freezing all the blood and fragments. Su Yu laughed, reached out, and grabbed the entire block of ice into a cavity in his body!

Crunching sounds continued!

After a moment, a sharp scream rang out. Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the power of rules exploded, and the entire Six Directions Mountain trembled violently.

Rumble!

A massive amount of rule power exploded, sweeping in all directions!

Too fast!

Unbelievably fast!

Two First Ranks were killed in an instant.

It was simply unbelievable. Meanwhile, on the other side, Blade Master struck out with his blade, one slash after another, slashing at the suppressed tiger until its claws broke. At this moment, the tiger's eyes were filled with horror and despair!

"You cannot kill me, I am from the Tiger Soul Cave..."

With a hum, the power of freezing surged forth!

Snow Dragon transformed into a giant dragon, a white dragon, instantly freezing heaven and earth. Golden Dragon turned into a golden light, like a flash of gold, piercing through and directly drilling through the opponent's skull.

Behind him, Su Yu wore a cold expression, kicking out with one foot, revealing countless strands of deathly aura that covered the entire hall.

In the blink of an eye, a shrill cry rang out!

The three mighty ones, unprepared, all focused on Su Yu, had not yet reacted when the old man from Rock Cliff was killed, followed by the woman from the Heavenly Silkworm Domain. Then, the strong one from the Tiger Soul Cave, under the combined assault of Su Yu and his companions, was slain on the spot in an instant!

At that moment, everyone came to their senses!

Flee!

Unbelievable!

Black Tomb was a top-tier powerhouse, while Blade Master and Snow Dragon had already defected to Black Tomb!

Just as they were about to flee, Su Yu's icy voice rang out: "Don't move. Kneel, and I'll spare your lives. Whoever flees dies!"

Boom!

A flash of blade light illuminated heaven and earth. Su Yu struck down the fleeing Seven Lives with a single blow!

The next moment, he turned and threw a punch, using the seductive woman's body as a shield, smashing Wisdom Valley into a pulp with one fist!

Blood splattered onto the woman's face!

Her face paled slightly, and she gritted her teeth: "You..."

Su Yu said calmly, "Shut up! With my strength, joining a forbidden land is effortless. This little old man beside me is far weaker than I am. If I join the Dead Spirit Hell, the Lord of the Dead Spirits will surely accept me. So... killing you wouldn't be a big deal. As for him, the Dead Spirit Hell is brutally merciless. If I kill him and join, this strong practitioner of the Yin Death Path would likely be welcomed!"

Behind him, the gaunt old man's expression shifted slightly, but he said nothing.

Indeed, the Dead Spirit Hell was also a place of the strong preying on the weak!

If Black Tomb truly killed him... and then defected to the Dead Spirit Hell, would the Emperor of the Underworld accept him?

Yes!

And Su Yu, coldly, continued: "Moreover, once I gather all the strong ones here and join together, no forbidden land would refuse me. So, you two... better calm down. I don't want to be an enemy of the forbidden lands, but you don't represent them!"

With that, Su Yu snorted and shouted, "Kneel!"

Boom!

He kicked out, shattering a second-rank strongman into pieces. Su Yu roared, "Snow Dragon, Blade Master, kill anyone still standing except the two envoys! Strong ones from Six Directions Mountain, Snow Dragon Mountain, and Blade Valley, hear my command! Kill anyone still standing!"

At first, these people might not have obeyed!

But when the three first-rank strongmen were killed and the two envoys were intimidated, in an instant, these people quickly changed. No longer were they motionless as before. Even the two who had just fled to Snow Dragon Mountain and Blade Valley hurriedly joined the other second-rank strongmen, swiftly striking down those who tried to flee or remain standing.

They all roared, "Kneel!"

"Kill!"

...

The scene was eerily bizarre!

The two forbidden land envoys stood motionless, sweat beading on their foreheads, because Su Yu was stronger than them and had them locked in his gaze. They couldn't move; if they did, they might be killed!

Meanwhile, some strongmen in the hall who wanted to flee hadn't even managed to escape when suddenly, those around them rose up and struck directly. These people were masters of shifting with the wind. In an instant, someone shouted, "Lord Black Tomb, I pledge my loyalty to you! He wants to flee—I'll kill him!"

"My lord, I surrender!"

...

This was a rabble of rogue cultivators!

When Su Yu showed his strength, these people instantly knew how to choose!

Surrender!

This was also why the forbidden lands allowed rogue cultivators to grow strong—because they weren't afraid. Once a strongman attacked, these people would quickly surrender, without exception. Today, the forbidden land envoys were useless because these two weren't strong enough!

They were cowed by Su Yu!

Otherwise, if one of them could hold Su Yu off, the might of the forbidden lands would soon far outweigh Su Yu's!

In the blink of an eye, many were killed on the spot!

The next moment, Blade Master knelt on one knee, his blade stained with blood, grinning as he said, "My lord, the disobedient ones have been executed!"

Looking around, inside and outside the hall, over a hundred Rule Masters knelt!

Su Yu suddenly sighed and shook his head, "A motley crew!"

Over a hundred Rule Masters!

If this were in the myriad realms, even with the scattered myriad races, without seven or eight first-rank strongmen, it would be impossible to intimidate them. But here, it wasn't needed!

The leaders were killed, and the rest surrendered instantly!

They knelt faster than they could run!

If this wasn't a motley crew, what was it?

Even now, if these people united to resist, Su Yu would have no way to suppress them. As for killing them... if they all fled together, Su Yu could kill ten at most—that would be impressive!

The reality was, if they all fled together, Su Yu could kill seven or eight at most—that was his limit!

But now, the floor was covered with kneeling Rule Masters, all trembling in fear, with no thought of fleeing or resisting!

Su Yu sighed again. With such trash, taking them to fight the forbidden lands?

Don't be ridiculous!

Of course, if they were truly integrated into the world... perhaps there was hope, with restrictions!

Otherwise, without restrictions, if Su Yu said he would lead them to fight the forbidden lands, within three seconds, everyone behind him would have fled!

After the sigh came a brilliant smile!

At this moment, there were still 22 second-rank strongmen alive, and over a hundred third- and fourth-rank ones!

Alive was enough!

No one cared about the dead.

And at this moment, the two forbidden land envoys before him both changed color slightly.

After their expressions shifted, their eyes flickered uncertainly.

This Black Tomb was very strong!

But even if he had suppressed them now, so what?

With a single command from the forbidden lands, these people would all flee!

It wouldn't take much—just one strongman with over twenty-two paths to suppress this Black Tomb, and his subordinates would deliver Black Tomb's head to the forbidden lands!

But at this moment, Su Yu ignored all that, his smile radiant!

He let out a wild laugh!

"From now on, on Six Directions Mountain, I, Black Tomb, am the sole leader! Gentlemen, it seems I have won!"

He looked at the two envoys and suddenly bared his teeth in a grin.

Kill?

Not easy to kill!

Not kill?

You two just piss me off!

How about this—sever your path, merge into my world?

I just killed three first-rank deterrents!

Now Su Yu regrets it. I need powerhouses, first-rank ones. I need them badly. These two can’t be killed; they must be kept. You two—enter my world!

As for the forbidden zone... who knows what’s happening there for now?

Can I really linger long?

Quickly take the Chasm of Severance, strengthen my world. No need for too much power. Once I can escape from the Forbidden Zone Lord, I’ll even take your forbidden zone!

The crowd felt their scalps crawl at his laughter!

The two first-rank envoys also changed expression slightly.

Could this Black Tomb be mad enough to kill them?

Meanwhile, Su Yu’s hand flickered with a token, and he smiled: “I act under the decree of Heavenly Dome Mountain, governing the Chasm of Severance. You two—take your grievances to Heavenly Dome Mountain! As for the rest, no need to worry. I am a guest elder of Heavenly Dome Mountain, appointed by Sword Venerable to govern the Chasm of Severance. The Mountain Lord’s might covers the heavens—even the Lord of the Dead and the Valley Lord of Fallen Souls, what can they do?”

At these words, gasps suddenly rose around.

Everyone understood instantly!

So that’s it!

No wonder Black Tomb was so arrogant—he had a forbidden zone backing him!

Now they felt relieved!

As long as he had a forbidden zone as his support, all was well!

Everything else was the forbidden zone’s business.

…

Meanwhile.

At Heavenly Dome Mountain.

That towering figure suddenly frowned, looked into the distance, furrowed his brow, and gazed at the sky, murmuring: “Who is it?”

It felt like someone was scheming against him, yet not quite.

Strange!

He counted on his fingers, frowned slightly, “A powerhouse? Sealed off from heaven and earth?”

Even stranger!

Perhaps a powerhouse who had sealed himself from heaven and earth was scheming against him. A sudden surge of intuition—probably nothing good!

Was it the Forbidden Zone Lord?

Who?

The Lord of Heavenly Dome Mountain suddenly sneered: “Come then!”

With his overwhelming power, he feared nothing!

Utterly audacious!
