Chapter 934: Earth-Shattering Change!
The battlefield was eerily silent.
Su Yu continued eating the Everlasting Root; absorbing and digesting it still required time.
Did it matter to Su Yu?
Did it matter if the Prison King had been scheming all along?
After the event, Ji Tian sorted and deduced, linking things together based on what had happened—it could be true, it could be false…
But none of it mattered!
Yes, Su Yu didn’t care about any of this.
He felt that the people present probably didn’t understand him.
Few truly knew Su Yu.
Would he be filled with righteous indignation?
No!
Would he feel disheartened because the Prison King had schemed against the Human Emperor and the others?
No!
If it were false, there was nothing to say. If it were true, he only thought the Human Emperor and the others had brought it on themselves—why didn’t you kill her when you had the chance?
So, he felt little sympathy.
Yan Huo was deceived—what did that have to do with him?
He only admired the Demon race’s stubbornness; as for the rest… being deceived and killed was their own fault. They were enemies, after all—what was it to him?
Bai Zhan and Yu being set up—what business was that of his?
Even if Bai Zhan’s side had truly been orchestrated by Zhou, to put it bluntly, Su Yu only needed to kill Bai Zhan. Bai Zhan hadn’t slaughtered the humans of this era; he had killed the old relics of the last tide… what did that have to do with Su Yu?
So, these people still didn’t understand Su Yu.
Su Yu truly didn’t care about any of this!
Su Yu only cared about one thing: did the Prison King know what her lineage was doing outside? If she knew, Su Yu would kill her. If she didn’t, he’d see. And now, it seemed she did know.
That was enough!
Let them talk until the sky falls,
let them heap countless accusations on the Prison King, let her argue sophistically, let the Human Emperor and the others plead for mercy… it made no difference!
Yes, not a shred of difference!
Su Yu only cared about that one point!
And these people seemed to be ignoring that one point, not paying it much heed. They were more concerned that the Human Emperor and the others would dissuade him, and that Su Yu might accept the Prison King because of it.
That was because they didn’t understand him!
Whether the Human Emperor and the others were important or not—
just like back then with Dark Shadow, Cloud Water Marquis, and the rest. Ying Wu and the others had tried to plead for mercy, but Su Yu still killed them without hesitation!
It wasn’t about strength.
It was about whether you made him feel wronged, uncomfortable, or displeased.
If you did, how could Su Yu ever be willing to work with someone like that?
That one rule was enough!
Ji Tian had said a lot, and Su Yu took it all as a joke. Of course, he didn’t refute it, because these words—Su Yu was letting the Human Emperor and the others hear them. Just listen. Ji Tian had piled many charges on the Prison King…
Su Yu didn’t know if they were true, and he didn’t care. Even if they were false, Su Yu would treat them as true!
Yes, even if everything Ji Tian said was a lie, Su Yu would still treat it as truth!
He was saying it for the Human Emperor and the others to hear!
At this moment, Su Yu was chewing on the Everlasting Root, looking utterly indifferent. He gazed into the distance and said with a smile, “Prison, let me ask you something. Over the years, have you kept in touch with Yue Zhan and the others outside?”
He only needed that one point!
“Five seconds. If you don’t answer, I’ll take it as a yes!”
Su Yu waited silently, but the Prison King did not speak.
Su Yu didn’t ask again. He was very calm.
So calm that everyone felt he hadn’t taken this matter seriously at all.
Beside him, the Human Emperor’s expression shifted slightly, but he said nothing.
At that moment, Wen Yu sent a telepathic message: “What do we do? Should we block the Human Gate? Though I despise the Prison King, if she can succeed in creating a new world and devour the Great Dao, she could instantly match a Great Sage! Then, whether Ji Tian’s words are true or false… she will become their enemy…”
So, Wen Yu’s meaning was: block them!
Block the Human Gate’s strong ones, let the Prison King create her world!
Let her devour the Dao!
And at that moment, Su Yu finished the last bit of the Everlasting Root, let out a burp, and the scent of life overflowed, so fragrant that even Wen Yu wanted a bite—but Su Yu had eaten it all!
Now, Su Yu had finished eating and was digesting the power of the Dao.
He was pondering a question!
A very serious question!
A question that might have been overlooked by everyone.
Zhou Ji… had been at Bihua Mountain all along!
Knowing full well that this was the passage for the Great Sage Ji Tian’s descent, Zhou had never stopped him. If he had killed Zhou Ji, Ji Tian could never have descended—there would have been no transmission.
Knowing that a Great Sage was about to descend, knowing that the passage for his descent was right beside him… the Human Ancestor hadn’t killed him!
And now, the two sides were at a standoff!
There were two possible outcomes now. First, Su Yu blocks the Human Gate, and the Prison King succeeds!
Second, Su Yu doesn’t block, and the Five Sages kill her!
But if he didn’t block, the Human Gate would reclaim the Great Dao, reclaim the Myriad Dao Stone, and reclaim the Sword of Creation—then Su Yu’s side would suffer a tremendous loss.
By reason, by emotion, even by the logic of self-interest, Su Yu should block. Regardless of whether the Prison King had betrayed them, at least she and the Human Emperor were sworn siblings—that was more reliable than the Human Gate!
Ji Tian’s lengthy analysis seemed partly to buy time for Su Yu.
It also gave everyone time to assess the situation!
And that situation was… Su Yu’s side would be better off choosing to help the Prison King!
Ji Tian, the Human Ancestor, the Prison King…
Playing with people’s hearts!
Countless thoughts kept surfacing and exploding in Su Yu’s mind.
Was there some connection between these parties?
These thoughts arose because Zhou Ji had been staying by the Ancestor of Humanity all along.
Not only that, but in many matters, Ji Tian had inadvertently overlooked certain points—for instance, the Eternal Bamboo used before attaining the Dao, left by the Ancestor of Humanity, was in Yu's hands.
For another example, the Ancestor of Humanity had once helped the Prison King repel the Lord of Chaos, securing the Prison King's foothold. According to Ji Tian, this was to establish a stable position within the Earth Gate and avoid being besieged.
Yet the Ancestor of Humanity entered the Earth Gate in the early days of the Primordial Era, while the Prison King entered at the end of the Ancient Era—a gap of at least one to two hundred thousand years, even within the Earth Gate amounting to tens of thousands of years!
So, waiting tens of thousands of years for a single act of help, all to avoid being surrounded and killed?
And these points were all inadvertently overlooked!
On the battlefield, besides the Earth Gate's constant effort to maintain balance, the Ancestor of Humanity's involvement also served to preserve equilibrium, preventing the power dynamics between both sides from tipping into imbalance!
It kept Su Yu and his group from feeling utterly outmatched from the start!
Otherwise, Su Yu and the others might have fled.
Suppose the Ancestor of Humanity had truly withdrawn the Heavenly Dao of the Human Emperor, empowering the Eternal Bamboo, boosting his own combat strength, and leaving Su Yu's side at a disadvantage—or even allied with the Human Gate to kill them—what would the outcome have been?
Thought after thought flickered through Su Yu's mind.
And another point: Zhou Ji!
Before Zhou Ji entered the gate, Su Yu knew his strength was barely below the second rank, at most matching the Martial King of that time—peak third rank, approaching second rank, roughly equivalent to eightfold Dao power!
An eightfold Dao body, bearing Ji Tian's thirty-eightfold power, would surely mean death!
Yes, Ji Tian was immensely strong!
When Yan Huo had just endured thirty-eightfold power, even as a cultivator above twenty-fivefold, he burned himself to death.
He had no choice; without destroying himself, he couldn't withstand the overwhelming force added to him.
But Zhou Ji… had no major issues!
First, Zhou Ji was the other's incarnation, so it was fine.
Because they were originally one entity!
Second, if Zhou Ji were a cultivator from the myriad realms, it meant someone had greatly strengthened his body during that period, granting him enough power to receive Ji Tian's descent!
Who could rapidly enhance an eightfold Dao cultivator's body to above twenty-fivefold?
Of course, strengthening the body isn't that difficult, but even so—from eightfold to twenty-fivefold—it required an absolute master of the Dao of the Flesh to share insights, provide resources, and spare no expense to ensure success!
Even Su Yu would find this hard to achieve, for his mastery of the Dao of the Flesh hadn't reached that level.
Across the myriad realms, perhaps only one person could do it, for his Dao of the Flesh had truly been cultivated to its utmost!
The Ancestor of Humanity!
And all of this, with the outbreak of war, had been inadvertently overlooked.
Because these matters, for now, seemed trivial.
If Su Yu didn't think about them, probably few would care.
Su Yu looked toward the Ancestor of Humanity and sent a telepathic message: "Senior Ancestor of Humanity, will you save Prison?"
The Ancestor of Humanity's voice came back: "As you wish!"
"Qiong, will you save Prison?"
Qiong was somewhat irritated: "I only want the Heaven-Opening Sword!"
Enough of this nonsense!
We've fought for so long—where is my sword?
Where is my Dao of the Yang Realm?
"Qiong, love you!"
Qiong suddenly shuddered, staring at Su Yu in utter shock, but Su Yu's smile was radiant. He truly liked Qiong—this kind of sword cultivator was too adorable, simple-minded, endearing, acting on impulse with too few schemes.
Yes, he liked him!
Qiong was nearly losing his mind!
He looked at Su Yu in terror, more frightened than when the Human Emperor had influenced him. Now, Su Yu had scared him.
Damn!
You're insane!
Why do you love me?
Su Yu kept smiling, but his aura was gradually growing stronger.
At this moment, everyone awaited his decision!
Would they continue the stalemate, or do something else?
Su Yu ignored them and telepathically spoke to Wen Yu: "Wen Yu, on the battlefield, there is only one command—listen to me, or listen to someone else?"
Wen Yu quickly replied, glancing at the Human Emperor beside him, and said gloomily, "As long as it doesn't harm my elder brother or Xing Yu and the others, I'll listen to you!"
Su Yu nodded slightly. That was enough.
Then Su Yu declared loudly, "Senior Death Spirit, on the battlefield, if there is only one voice, will you listen to me or to others?"
At these words, the four directions stirred.
What did this mean?
Was Su Yu planning to ignore Prison's fate, worried that the Human Emperor and others might interfere, and thus making this move?
The Death Spirit Lord said calmly, "I'll listen to you!"
"Human Emperor, Wen Wang, Wu Wang!"
Su Yu's voice boomed like a bell, "You three were once soldiers. On the battlefield, there is only one voice—my voice, Su Yu's! If I don't save Prison, you three won't turn against me, will you?"
At this moment, even the great saints of the Human Gate felt a strange shift. Was Su Yu giving up?
That was fine!
It would save them trouble, and might even spark some conflict with the Human Emperor and the others!
Excellent!
And now, beside Su Yu, the Human Emperor exhaled softly, "I said, this is your era. Since it's your era… as long as you don't send my old brothers to their deaths… then I'll listen to you!"
This was Su Yu's era now!
As for Prison… the Human Emperor had sheltered him once before, but there was no reason or justification for Su Yu to do the same. His past protection had already been an act of favoritism.
The voices of Wen Wang and Wu Wang echoed simultaneously: "You have the final say!"
At this moment, Su Yu's position as the core leader was formally established!
Though Su Yu's opinions had been important before, he hadn't held the final say. Wen Wang and his group formed their own faction, though major strategic decisions were always discussed with Su Yu.
And now, Su Yu's aura exploded with a thunderous roar!
Heaven and earth trembled!
His 108 acupoints merged into one in an instant!
Su Yu's inner world was vast and terrifying.
Thirty-six Dao!
Su Yu glanced around, and everyone else looked at him in turn—Su Yu had officially stepped into the ranks of the mightiest beings in all the heavens.
Thirty-six Dao!
The Five Saints of the Human Gate: Human Ancestor, Qiong, Kong, Shi, Lord of the Dead, Three Gates, Lord of Time!
Across the myriad realms, through the era of the Three Gates, countless powerhouses had ultimately crossed into this level, yet only fifteen, including Su Yu, had survived to this day!
At this moment, Su Yu had entered the ranks of these super-strong.
The Five Saints of the Human Gate all changed color slightly.
And Su Yu, looking at the five, smiled: "Huo Tian, Ji Tian... the other three are all supreme beings. Won't you introduce yourselves, so I can get to know you all?"
At that moment, a voice from an immensely powerful existence rang out, carrying a tone of awe that made others tremble: "Human Gate, Jing Tian!"
Jing Tian the Great Saint!
Su Yu smiled: "If you don't mind, could you tell me your strength? I'm too lazy to probe, lest you think I'm provoking you."
"Thirty-seven Dao!"
Jing Tian didn't mind; if Su Yu wanted to probe, he could naturally find out.
Next, a soft, lingering voice, tinged with longing, came gently: "Si Tian, this humble one's strength is meager, only thirty-six Dao. I hope you'll take pity on me."
Su Yu smiled and nodded: "The Dao of melancholy longing makes my heart itch. I truly want to hold you in my arms, protect and cherish you..."
"..."
At these words, many people looked at Su Yu strangely—had he fallen under a spell?
Those weren't words Su Yu would normally say!
Su Yu laughed: "What are you looking at? Si Tian the Great Saint is so adorable. On any other day, I'd hold you tight, tear you apart, and study you carefully—how can you be so endearing!"
"..."
The words of admiration sent chills down everyone's spine!
This madman—was that how he loved?
The beautiful Si Tian the Great Saint twitched the corner of her mouth, unable to utter a word. That Su Yu... she didn't want to say anything about him.
And Su Yu, looking at the last person, smiled: "And you, sir?"
The last person, also extremely powerful, replied calmly: "E Tian! Thirty-eight Dao!"
This was the strongest among the five saints—no, Ji Tian also seemed to be at thirty-eight Dao.
Ji Tian and E Tian were both at thirty-eight Dao, Jing Tian at thirty-seven, Huo Tian and Si Tian at thirty-six.
These people were truly formidable.
Su Yu smiled again: "I'm just curious—the other seven are all somewhat connected to the seven emotions and six desires. Ji Tian the Great Saint, what about you? Your name seems a bit off."
Su Yu's smile was bright: "If you don't mind, could you tell me? Which of the seven emotions and six desires do you master?"
Ji Tian smiled and shook his head: "The Human Dao is not limited to the seven emotions and six desires. You must know, Ji means civilization and society. What makes humans human is wisdom, spirit, ideas, thoughts... Ji is the spread of thought."
Su Yu nodded: "I understand. Put simply, you're a scholar, mastering wisdom and civilization, right?"
Ji Tian smiled: "Something like that."
Su Yu sighed: "So you also like being a scholar. No wonder!"
At this point, Su Yu had come to understand the situation of the Eight Saints.
As for the seven emotions and six desires, these beings didn't necessarily each master one Dao. There were thirteen Great Saints in total; some emotions, similar emotional Daos, didn't need multiple masters.
But Ji Tian was somewhat unusual among the Eight Saints—he followed the Dao of wisdom and civilization within the Human Dao.
Su Yu seemed to think of something and added: "Back then, when Human Ancestor colluded with the Human Gate, was it you, Ji Tian, who instigated it?"
"..."
Beside him, Human Ancestor glanced at Su Yu but said nothing.
Instead, among the five saints, Jing Tian the Great Saint said calmly: "It was I who made the contact. Unfortunately, in the end, we chose the wrong path."
Su Yu nodded again: "Right! A mess!"
Everyone grew even more uneasy.
This Su Yu—he could really echo that sentiment, even that one.
Su Yu then looked at Human Ancestor and smiled: "Senior Human Ancestor, why didn't you continue following the Human Gate in the later years?"
"The myriad realms are mine alone—why should I pledge allegiance to the Human Gate?"
Human Ancestor didn't avoid the question and said bluntly: "Besides, who would want to be someone else's subordinate?"
Su Yu nodded again and added: "Then why did you betray the Heavenly Gate back then?"
Human Ancestor frowned slightly: "It wasn't betrayal, but saving that era. The Heavenly Gate was unwilling to transform into a gate to protect the era; he only wanted to escape annihilation himself. In the final battle, he was already on the losing side. Only by transforming into a gate to seal the era could there be a chance to preserve the creation from destruction. As the Third Gate, only by becoming a gate could he save everyone... but he wanted to flee. What would you have had me do?"
Su Yu inhaled sharply: "That's a bit frightening!"
Why was he afraid?
He was the Fourth Gate!
That meant if he ever faced an irreversible defeat, there might be someone like Human Ancestor who thought that to preserve this era, Su Yu would have to become a gate to protect it!
Su Yu looked around at the people, at the Human Emperor and the others, and smiled: "If I were to be defeated in the final battle... if I refused to become a gate and instead fled alone, would anyone... act like Human Ancestor?"
The Human Emperor said calmly: "That would be your own choice. I've said it before—in this era... there aren't many people we are willing to protect."
We too have opened our own heavens!
So whether to protect or not—that's your decision, Su Yu.
As for others, even if they're unhappy, what can they do to you?
At that moment, Ji Tian raised an eyebrow slightly: "Su Yu, you've advanced too. Now, it's time to make a choice, isn't it?"
He pointed at the Prison King: "This stalemate is not good. She is preparing to open a new heaven. Su Yu, are you deliberately stalling for time?"
Su Yu shook his head: "No, I'm just thinking about some things, some very terrifying things. I came to the Earth Gate only to seize the Myriad Dao Stone. How did it turn into all Eight Saints descending, the Earth Gate broken, and the Prison King opening a new heaven..."
Su Yu sighed and looked at the Human Emperor: "Where did you get this information?"
The Human Emperor frowned slightly—why was he asking this now?
He thought quickly, then after a moment said: "Dou Wang!"
Dou Wang!
A nearly forgotten man, once a very powerful Human King, also the ancestor of Bai Zhan, or rather, a descendant of Human Ancestor.
Dou Wang!
It was said that after the Human Emperor cast the Prison King into the Earth Gate, Dou Wang disappeared—so he had gone into the Earth Gate as a spy?
"How did Dou Wang know?"
The Human Emperor wished to speak further, but in the distance, a powerful figure stirred the air, manifesting in the void, wearing a dark mask.
Had Su Yu witnessed the gathering of the Human Gate emissaries that day, he would likely have recognized this man as the one who presided over the meeting, seated at the head of the table.
When the Great Saints of the Human Gate descended, they did not all occupy the bodies of those who had opened the Human Gate.
Aside from Ji Tian, none of the others did so.
Thus, Ji Tian was unique.
And now, this dark-masked emissary’s aura was somewhat disordered, his energy depleted, yet his strength was not negligible. To Su Yu, he seemed to possess at least twenty-five paths of power.
Quite formidable!
“Your Majesty!”
In the distance, the dark emissary’s mask shattered, revealing a face somewhat reminiscent of Bai Zhan, and even faintly similar to the Human Ancestor.
Dou Wang!
The Human Emperor nodded and looked at Su Yu: “He is one of the Human Gate’s emissaries. Because he opened the Human Gate, he was also one of the emissaries responsible for guiding the Great Saints here… Therefore, he knows a great deal!”
“Back then, I sent Dou Wang in to investigate the situation within the Earth Gate. Since he possesses the bloodline of the Human Ancestor, and the Human Ancestor was a powerful being unsealed during the era of creation, their lineage can open the Human Gate!”
The Human Emperor glanced at the dark emissary, then back at Su Yu: “The news of the Ten-Thousand Paths Stone was brought back by Dou Wang!”
A figure of such strength, and one of the Human Gate’s emissaries—how could the information he relayed be false?
Dou Wang!
Su Yu smiled: “The Human Gate was truly foolish, daring to trust Dou Wang and nurture him as an emissary…”
In the distance, Dou Wang’s face was pale, but he smiled: “Because those who can open the Human Gate are, after all, few. The descent of the Eight Saints requires at least eight emissaries. Besides, they merely borrow my gate to descend… Trust or distrust matters little, really!”
True enough!
At that moment, another of Su Yu’s doubts was resolved.
Su Yu looked at Dou Wang and smiled: “You and I… might have a bit of a grudge. I killed Bai Zhan…”
Dou Wang nodded: “I have heard of this matter, but I do not know Bai Zhan. Even if he is my bloodline descendant, after countless ages, who knows what his descendants become? Killing him is fine. Betraying humanity—he deserved death!”
“Dou Wang is wise!”
Su Yu laughed: “I appreciate your years of patience and for providing the Human Emperor with the news of the Ten-Thousand Paths Stone!”
The news came from him.
Thus, the information about the Ten-Thousand Paths Stone was naturally true, and the Human Emperor would trust his words.
So this journey to the Earth Gate was not without Dou Wang’s contributions. Had he not provided the news of the Ten-Thousand Paths Stone, Su Yu and the others might not have entered the Earth Gate, for their main purpose here was to heal the Human Emperor’s injuries!
“Dou Wang, Yu Wang, Ji Tian, Human Ancestor, Bai Zhan, Yu, Yan Huo, Earth Gate…”
Names drifted through his mind.
No, perhaps he should add Jing Tian, who had once collaborated with the Human Ancestor.
At this moment, among the Five Saints of the Human Gate, the Great Saint E Tian grew impatient and said coldly: “Su Yu, are you done reminiscing?”
What are you stalling for?
It’s meaningless!
“Wait, wait!”
Su Yu sank into thought.
A thread was weaving together in his mind—don’t disturb me.
He suddenly looked at the Earth Gate and said: “Senior Earth Gate, as a gate, if the Eight Saints cannot descend through you, they cannot descend at all, correct?”
In the distance, the Earth Gate hovered and replied coldly: “Why would I refuse? You lot threaten me, attack me by force—so why shouldn’t I let them in?”
There was a hint of disdain in its tone.
Su Yu nodded. So, if you refuse, they truly cannot descend!
After all, they descend through another’s gate.
If the Earth Gate is like this, what of the Heaven Gate?
Thus, when Qiong descended through my Heaven Gate… I sent the Saint Qing Tian over… Could the Heaven Gate have blocked that at that moment?
Perhaps it could have.
Then why didn’t it?
Did the Heaven Gate also succumb to greed?
That seems unlikely!
Because the Heaven Gate thought killing a Great Saint would strengthen their power?
Thoughts flashed rapidly.
If the Earth Gate could block the Great Saints from descending, then the Heaven Gate could have blocked Qiong and Qing Tian from entering or leaving!
This time, no one had restricted the Heaven Gate. Could it be that its previous damage was too severe, and it had fallen into slumber?
Heaven Gate, Earth Gate, Human Ancestor…
Thoughts surfaced again. At this moment, Su Yu seemed to connect something, to understand something!
The Human Gate!
The strongest existence!
The most mysterious existence!
His pupils contracted slightly. It was merely speculation, but everyone should know that if they kept fighting among themselves, in the end, they would still have to face the Human Gate!
The Human Gate was the most terrifying existence!
Yet now, it seemed everyone had forgotten the Human Gate’s existence, never mentioning how strong it was, never speaking of how terrifying it was, never considering how to deal with the Human Gate even if they defeated all other factions.
The next moment, Su Yu smiled: “Alright, I’m done. You can start fighting now!”
Ji Tian said warily: “You truly won’t interfere?”
“Of course!”
Su Yu laughed: “What does Yu’s life or death have to do with me?”
But at this moment, beside Su Yu, Qiong grew anxious: “Then my sword…”
What about my true body?
He was worried!
The Human Emperor frowned slightly but said nothing. Wen Yu, however, said softly: “Do you really not want the Ten-Thousand Paths Stone?”
Though she detested Yu Wang, she still added: “If we cooperate with Yu and make her hand over the Heaven-Opening Sword and the Ten-Thousand Paths Stone, it would greatly benefit our strength…”
Thus, Su Yu’s side actually needed many things.
Including the Heaven-Opening Sword and the Ten-Thousand Paths Stone—both of which were in Yu Wang’s possession!
At this moment, Su Yu’s earlier thoughts grew even more certain!
The Prison King and his kind needed their intervention!
That was why the Heaven-Opening Sword and the Ten Thousand Paths Stone were over there—because no matter what, they required those treasures.
But at this moment, Su Yu said coldly, "Do not interfere. I want to see the Prison King die. Once the artifacts fall into the Human Gate's hands, we will seize them!"
The others found it hard to understand!
In truth, agreeing to help the Prison King now might have been the simplest way to obtain them. Yet he chose to take them from the Five Saints, abandoning the easy path for the hardest and most complicated method!
What was Su Yu thinking?
Even the Human Ancestor sent a telepathic message: "Su Yu, now that you have stepped into the 36th Path, if you cooperate with the Prison King's Heaven-Opening now... there is hope of eliminating one or two Great Saints, or even leaving them all behind!"
Why choose the most difficult outcome?
At this moment, Ji Tian furrowed his brow slightly and spoke: "Huo Tian, Si Tian, Jing Tian—you three go deal with the Prison King. I will stay here with E Tian to keep watch, lest they suddenly intervene."
Three experts—one at the 37th Path, two at the 36th—would have no trouble dealing with the Prison King!
The three exchanged glances, nodded in unison, and swiftly charged toward the rear!
Over there, the Prison King had not received the desired response. At this moment, she let out a low cry. Suddenly, a surge of Ten Thousand Paths power erupted from her. A book, resembling the Time Scroll, unfurled rapidly!
Clearly, she knew no reinforcements would come!
So at this moment, she chose to open the heavens!
"Kill!"
Jing Tian and the other two rushed toward her swiftly. Ji Tian said solemnly, "E Tian, be careful! These fellows are treacherous—watch out for a sudden move!"
"I know!"
E Tian, immensely powerful, was not one to be careless. Su Yu and his group were still formidable.
Especially the Lord of the Dead over there—fortunately, the Earth Gate was present, so the Lord of the Dead might not dare to come.
...
Su Yu, observing this formation, his eyes flickered.
Jing Tian, Prison King... Huo Tian, Si Tian.
Ji Tian... E Tian.
Earth Gate... Lord of the Dead, Wen Wang, Wu Wang.
Human Ancestor... Su Yu, Human Emperor, Qiong, Wen Yu.
Su Yu's gaze shifted. If his guess was correct, this was a grand scheme—a chess game that had begun since the age of Heaven-Opening?
The Human Gate, famed for scheming and omniscience—was it the center of this game?
At this moment, Su Yu was eager to act. He sent a telepathic message to the others: "When I say strike, strike! When I say kill, kill! No doubts allowed! No doubts whatsoever!"
The others tensed. Su Yu was still going to act!
Kill whom?
Ji Tian?
E Tian?
Or someone else?
"Did you hear me?"
Su Yu's telepathic message carried a sharp edge. Even the Human Emperor was slightly startled. They all replied, "Understood!"
Su Yu said no more.
He waited silently. His aura grew stronger and stronger.
In the distance, Ji Tian and E Tian were also on high alert. Were these fellows still planning to meddle?
But Su Yu kept waiting!
He waited for an opportunity—for an event that would confirm his conjecture!
As for who was right or wrong... what did it matter to him?
What he wanted, he would take with his own hands!
...
At this moment, the Prison King's heaven was opening rapidly, faster than ever!
It seemed everything had been prepared long ago!
In that instant, her aura surged—this was the tribulation of her Heaven-Opening.
Three supreme beings of the 36th Path and above!
Boom!
The energy of the Undying Root was swiftly devoured by her!
In the blink of an eye, the Prison King advanced from the 33rd Path to the 34th Path.
Yes, this woman had already reached the 33rd Path; now, in an instant, she attained the power of the 34th Path.
Opposite her, the three great experts had already charged with murderous intent. They were not overly worried—the Prison King was doomed!
"Kill!"
Jing Tian the Great Saint roared, unleashing an unmatched momentum. A long sword appeared in his hand, slashing toward the Prison King!
Si Tian and Huo Tian also struck simultaneously.
Three against one—a sure kill for the Prison King!
Seize back the Path!
...
"Right or wrong... it all depends on... this moment!"
Su Yu watched intently.
And then, in the next instant, a look of relief appeared in Su Yu's eyes. I was right!
At that moment, a piercing scream tore through heaven and earth!
Boom!
A thunderous sound rang out. Huo Tian's scream echoed in all directions, filled with disbelief and despair!
In that instant, everyone turned to look!
A long sword had pierced through Huo Tian!
It was Jing Tian's sword!
...
Su Yu was not surprised.
At this moment, he ignored Ji Tian and E Tian, and roared through telepathy: "Kill the Human Ancestor!"
Boom!
Su Yu struck with his blade; the Human Emperor, Wen Yu, and Qiong were all startled, but had no time to think and struck out in unison!
And the Human Ancestor, his face drastically changing, also threw a punch and swiftly fled!
Rumble!
The thunderous sound echoed across heaven and earth!
At this moment, in the distance, Ji Tian, just as E Tian instinctively turned his head, suddenly conjured a sword in his hand—a sword of unparalleled sharpness—and thrust it toward E Tian!
E Tian's face also twisted in shock!
"Ji Tian!"
...
The three battlefields, in the blink of an eye, witnessed a shocking upheaval!
And at this moment, at the gate, the Lord of the Dead and the others were still in bewilderment when Su Yu's furious roar came: "Slay the Earth Gate!"
Boom!
The Lord of the Dead threw a punch, while the Earth Gate swiftly transformed into a man, his face shifting slightly as he cursed under his breath—a great battle erupted in an instant!
At this moment, all the cultivators below the supreme level stared in utter disbelief!
Wasn't it Su Yu and his group fighting the Five Saints of the Human Gate?
Everyone was dazed!
Who can tell me what is happening?
They are all turning on each other!
Not just the Human Gate—Su Yu and his people are actually trying to kill the Human Ancestor!
