Chapter 1467: Second Cloudbreach Transformation (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Slowly but surely, Su Yu grew in strength.

The thick source qi and heavenly source qi in the hall forced even Xing Yue to distance herself from him. She said, "I'm leaving..."

How annoying.

She hated source qi. Hearing her words, Su Yu opened his eyes and said, "Please wait a moment, Lord. You have yet to receive Mo Duona's treasure. Don't forget what I promised you..."

Then, Su Yu gave Mo Duona a kick.

After a short moment, Mo Duona opened his eyes.

Su Yu said, "Give me the death blood."

Mo Duona handed it over without saying anything. With the blood in hand, Su Yu said, "Lord, do you need to return after receiving this?"

"Exactly." Xing Yue said, "Hand it over. I'm leaving.

Su Yu laughed and said, "Don't be in such a rush, Lord. I have many things to tell you."

"Shut up!"

Xing Yue was uninterested in what he had to say.

Su Yu solemnly said, "Lord, I advise you to listen to me. My growth is too rapid. At this rate...I don't want it, but I might end up hurting you..."

In fact, Xing Yue could feel that he was speaking the truth. He was not under the effect of any blood essence. Even so, his strength was nearing 3.8 million acupoints. With the yang acupoint, he could reach 7 million acupoints in strength. That was already comparable to a peak ninth-stage Sunmoon or a Pseudo Invincible.

One ought to remember that Su Yu could further boost his strength by consuming blood essence. He was essentially a ninth-stage Sunmoon parasite constantly absorbing Xing Yue's death qi.

Su Yu earnestly said, "I really need your help, Lord."

Xing Yue asked, "What do you want?"

Su Yu said, "No rush, Lord. I only want to say that I'll kill another Pseudo Invincible if I wish you see you again..."

Mo Duona felt like cursing at someone upon hearing that. What did Su Yu take Pseudo Invincibles for? Also, what was he even talking about? Killing a Pseudo Invincible just to meet this death sovereign? Wasn't that a tad bit too ferocious?

Sure enough, a love story between life and death was never simple. A single meeting required such a high price. Sigh.

Xing Yue glared at Su Yu frostily. After a while, she snorted and said, "I don't care what you want, but you need to do one thing for me as well."

"Please give me your order, Lord!"

After thinking about it for a bit, Xing Yue said, "I told the other death sovereigns that I have a Pseudo Invincible subordinate out here..."

"I'm here, right?" Su Yu said, "I am your subordinate!"

"Shut up!" Xing Yue said, "I told them I'm here to get my subordinate's help to open the death tunnel. To do so, I need the divine weapon dealt with. You will need to handle that."

Su Yu was rendered speechless. Was this a joke? This was no easy task.

Naturally, he wouldn't say that. Instead, he said, "I'll try my best, Lord. By the way, how many death sovereigns are there in the tunnel?"

"Eight at the moment. Nine, including me."

Holy shit. That was a big number.

Including He Tu and his friend, there were eleven death sovereigns waiting to enter the seventh level. That was an incredible force.

"Sure. I know what to do, Lord. Contact me through our death qi connection if you need anything. In any case, our connection will always be there. Even when we are worlds apart, we will still be together."

Xing Yue snorted and accepted the death blood. With this, her mission out here was completed. As for the bastard's suggestion to contact him, nope. She was not interested. She wanted to leave. This was an annoying place.

As Xing Yue started to fade away, Su Yu said, "Lord, make sure to stick around. If you leave, I might sever the death tunnel. That would be unfortunate. Without you, I will need to madly increase my strength to protect myself. I might grow to a point that I can easily suck you dry."

"Are you threatening me?"

Hearing Xing Yue's furious voice, Su Yu said, "Not at all. You misunderstand me. Your loyal subordinate is not such a person. I only hope that you can stay and lend me a hand. Your loyal subordinate will be endlessly grateful."

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Xing Yue faded completely.

***

Before long, Xing Yue reappeared in the death tunnel.

Instantly, eight death sovereigns looked over expectantly. She nonchalantly said, "My subordinate will be fully converted soon, but I'm keeping him alive for now to avoid the heavenly laws. The conversion is stuck at about seventy percent. That will do for now." The other death sovereigns nodded in agreement.

"Xing Yue, is your subordinate really willing to open the death tunnel for us?"

"Yes!" Xing Yue said, "He will obey my orders. Otherwise, I will finish the conversion instantly. He can live longer if he stays obedient."

She continued, "I scouted around while I was out there as well. He Tu isn't alone. He has a powerful death sovereign with him. My subordinate is finding a way to help He Tu enter the seventh level. He will deal with the divine weapon as well, but he requires time. He will kill a Pseudo Invincible to contact me when there's progress."

"..."

The death sovereigns were quite impressed to hear that. One of them said, "Xing Yue, that subordinate of yours must be quite strong if he can kill Pseudo Invincibles so easily." Killing a Pseudo Invincible just to make a report.

How...cool.

Xing Yue nonchalantly said, "Of course. I will naturally not pick a weakling to be my subordinate. I will be the one to leave again the next time he kills a Pseudo Invincible."

She casually tossed the drop of death blood out and said, "This is his tribute for me. I won't be disturbing you. Feel free to keep it. I'll get him to gather more the next time I'm out there."

"Death blood!"

The death sovereigns were greatly alarmed. The death blood was something one could only find from the depths of the Celestial River of Death. How did Xing Yue's subordinate get something like this?

How was he loyal enough to offer it as tribute so readily? The eyes of the eight death sovereigns turned red. Since there was only one drop, they didn't even know what to do with it.

Naturally, they had to allow Xing Yue to be the one to leave the next time a Pseudo Invincible was killed. That would only benefit them.

Xing Yue said, "Split it among yourselves. I still need to focus on converting him to prevent him from breaking free of my control. He's very strong. He might be obedient now, but he won't let go of a chance to go independent. I need a large amount of death qi to maintain my grip over him."

"Xing Yue, that only serves as proof that you have a powerful subordinate."

Only a powerful subordinate would require such costly maintenance. No wonder the subordinate could easily kill a Pseudo Invincible just to make a report.

Xing Yue sure was lucky.

A death sovereign said, "Don't worry. You will have our support. He won't be able to break free. Did you come here because you were worried that he would break free?"

At that, Xing Yue cursed inwardly. Bullshit. She wanted nothing more than to let Su Yu break free. However, that bastard refused to leave. Xing Yue greatly regretted her past choice to convert him. The death sovereigns took her silence as a silent agreement. They all laughed heartily.

Xing Yue couldn't be bothered to entertain them.

Inside the Martial Hall.

Mo Duona looked at Su Yu and said, "Su Yu, you are truly impressive."

Su Yu said, "Stop wasting time. You promised to help me with the nine-leaf skylotus. So how can we get it? What help do you need from me? Go straight to the point."

Hearing that, Mo Duona decided to stop beating around the bush. He said, "I have a simple goal. I wish to break free of the Devil Emperor's control. After using his blood essence, that will be nearly impossible. I need your help. Naturally, I will help you get the nine-leaf skylotus as the price."

"How can I help you, and how will you help me?"

Mo Duona answered, "Firstly, convert me into an ancient city mayor. However, I need to learn the way to convert death qi you're using."

"What?"

Seeing that Su Yu was frowning, Mo Duona said, "You have the ability to disguise yourself as anyone you want. You are able to prevent any death qi from leaking out of your body even when the stone statues are out of the cities. You naturally have a way to deal with death qi. Help me with that. I will be able to rely on the ancient cities..."

Su Yu said, "Do you think I'll share my authority over the ancient cities with you?"

"No. That's not my goal. I only want to evade the Devil Emperor's control. After becoming a half death spirit, he will not be able to keep converting me unless he wants to be a half death spirit as well. Naturally, I don't want to die. I don't want to die in his hands after proving useless to him. Thus, I need a different identity and the way to handle death qi."

Mo Duona solemnly said, "That is only one of the options. Secondly, you can kill the Devil Emperor for me..."

Su Yu stared at Mo Duona silently. Was he stupid?

Mo Duona said, "I believe in you. Kill him before I become a ninth-stage Sunmoon. That will be enough."

"Piss off."

Mo Duona sighed, "There is also a third option. Find a treasure for me. It might be located on the eighth level..."

"Piss off."

Mo Duona explained, "The eighth level was merely the place where the ancient big shots once resided. It is possible to enter that place. Some devils did that before. Back then, that was the court of the Myriad Race Assembly. That was also where the ancient Devil Pseudo Emperor used to reside. He has a residence there. I need a treasure from that residence. According to the records of my race, I can solve my current troubles with that treasure."

"Piss off." Su Yu scolded, "I can't even act freely on the seventh level. Now, you're telling me to enter the eighth level? Not one of your solutions is reliable. You should look for an Invincible instead, not me."

"That won't work." Mo Duona said, "I would have done so long ago if that were feasible. Those people are even more unreliable than you. Their greed would be triggered when they saw the treasure. The same might happen to you, but I could always trade something useful to you for that treasure."

Su Yu was left speechless.

He asked, "And how do you intend to help me with the nine-leaf skylotus?"
