Chapter 1489: Chaotic Battle In The King's Residence (3)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Inside the Luminous Domain Mansion.

With the arrival of the immortal kings, the number of the Invincibles in the Devote King's residence further increased. The death sovereigns remained outside, not daring to step into the residence.

They were especially fearful of the floating blade in the residence. Out of nowhere, Xing Yue's leadership became worthless.

Tuofa said, "We managed to kill an immortal king, but we only managed to extract four drops of blood essence. Xing Yue, is this enough?"

Xing Yue accepted the blood essence. Knowing that the death sovereigns were growing impatient, she said, "We can only settle with this for now."

The other death sovereigns were relieved to hear that. Instantly, they all vanished without bothering to say anything.

He Tu remained. When all the other death sovereigns were gone, he coldly said, "Do you think death spirits are so easy to control? Xing Yue, are you dreaming of conquering the Death Realm?"

Xing Yue looked at He Tu like she was looking at a fool. When did she say that? What a weird guy.

He Tu couldn't be bothered to say much. He asked, "By the way, where is your subordinate? Is he dead?"

"Su Yu?"

"Yes." He Tu said, "He offended me recently. Xing Yue, tell me his location. I'll kill him. Don't worry, I'll compensate you for this."

Xing Yue's expression turned cold.

After a short moment, she replied, "He is disguising himself as Mo Duona of the devil race. He's probably hiding in the secret realm or a heaven weapon of a devil king. Sure. Go and kill him. He's annoying."

He Tu was slightly doubtful, but he did not want to waste more time here. But after taking only a few steps, he looked at Dummy and snorted. "Stay with Xing Yue."

Then, he vanished. Dummy stared at Xing Yue blankly. Xing Yue stared at Dummy blankly as well. Why her? This guy had obviously just awakened not long ago. What was the point of having him around? Look at how dumb he looked. What could a brainless guy like this do?

Just as Xing Yue was about to chase him away, she recalled something and rippled her death qi.

Su Yu was feeling quite helpless. Why were the death spirits so unreliable? How were they supposed to conquer the world of the living with such a fragile unity? How were they so impatient? On the bright side, they had killed an immortal king before splitting off.

However, their performance was truly poor. There were eleven of them, while there were only five immortal kings. How did they kill only one? Just He Tu, Tuofa, and Dummy should be enough to kill more than that. After all, there was not a single seventh-degree Eternal among the immortals.

Just as he was feeling regret, he received a message from Xing Yue.

"He Tu tossed me a newly awakened death spirit. He's dumb. Do you think I should kick him off?"

"..."

Su Yu was left quite speechless. He could see that Xing Yue was getting impatient as well.

Holy shit!

How did she reach the decision to throw such a valuable free thug away? No wonder. No wonder she did so badly in her career as a death sovereign.

Su Yu had seen the dumb death spirit with his own eyes before. He could see that the death spirit was very strong. He also remembered that the death spirit in question was still quite simple-minded. He replied, "Keep him by your side. He's strong enough to be used as your bodyguard. How can you kick someone so useful aside?"

Su Yu could only say that the death spirits were hopeless. He only hated that he wasn't strong enough or this would be the perfect opportunity for him to disguise himself as a death spirit and rise as the leader of all death spirits.

The Death Realm was incredibly powerful, but it had zero unity. Thus, it would never be a proper match for the myriad races. No wonder the myriad races did not really fear the death spirits that much.

If it wasn't for Su Yu's guidance, it was likely that the death sovereigns would not be able to kill even one immortal king.

"Fine."

Xing Yue hurriedly added, "I don't need you to teach me."

Since when did she need his guidance?

She continued, "What now? Tuofa and the others are gone. They don't have the courage to attack the Devote King's residence since the Source Return Blade is still there. They are looking for victims outside the residence instead..."

Su Yu thought about it and said, "Just wait. It's fine. It's only a matter of time before everyone is forced to gather at the residence, including the death spirits. Let them have some fun outside. When everyone outside is dead, they will naturally return to the residence."

"..."

Xing Yue did not want to agree, but she couldn't help but agree that death spirits could not control their desire to kill. That was by design. All death spirits held an obsession to enter the world of the living. This was imprinted into their very being. Something like that could not be changed.

That was why the various death sovereigns had never given up on exiting the various death tunnels. From the moment they rose from the Celestial River of Death, their sole desire was to kill their way into the world of the living.

The stronger ones would still be able to restrain this desire somewhat, but the weaker death spirits could only obey their desire.

Xing Yue asked, "By the way, we only managed to get four drops of blood essence from that guy. Do you want it? If you want, I can bestow them upon you. Remember to keep working hard for me."

"Sure."

Su Yu was overjoyed.

Four drops. This wasn't bad at all. He only needed one drop to update the page. The remaining three drops would be enough for him to fight for a period of time. Of course, the premise of that was his body's ability to withstand the power of Invincible blood essence.

He was unsure if his body was already strong enough for that. But it didn't matter. Perhaps he only needed a few more transformations.

More and more survivors started converging at the Devote King's residence.

The most dangerous place had turned into the safest place. After all, the death spirits were everywhere outside the residence. Even those who had been able to hide well earlier were forced to flee from the death sovereigns. Some unlucky ones were directly converted into death spirits before they could even flee.

Eventually, even Frost King entered the Devote King's residence with Su Yu and the others. So far, only one Invincible had died. But a large number of Pseudo Invincibles and Sunmoons had died.

Even now, moons were still dropping from the sky nonstop. The various Invincibles sat cross-legged outside the courtyard. They did not approach the pond. They merely waited there in silence.

Nobody said anything when the immortal kings arrived. It was undeniable that the immortals had suffered great losses in the mansion this time. The immortal kings had ugly expressions. Why were they so unlucky?

After taking some time to recover slightly, Immortal King Xuan He said, "Everyone, the immortals are withdrawing from the competition over the skylotus. However, we have a condition for our withdrawal."

The moment those words were said, Zhu Tianfang sighed. The condition would most certainly be related to the humans. There was no doubt about that. This had always been how things were. It didn't matter how much they fought among themselves. They would always find a chance to deal more damage to the human race.

Sure enough, Immortal King Xuan He said, "Someone must die for that to happen. Su Yu. I suspect that he is hiding among the humans. After all, the humans have the highest number of survivors among us. We can either kill them all or inspect all their seas of willpower. Everyone, this is not my idea. You all understand how important it is to eliminate Su Yu."

"..."

Zhu Tianfang did not feel like saying anything. He saw this coming. And he was completely unsurprised.

Su Yu was indeed everyone's target. This would allow both the immortals and humans to exit the competition, making things easier for the other races. Naturally, it would be even better if they could dig Su Yu out through this method.

Su Yu sank into silence.

He swore to teach all these people an even harsher lesson. They had been targeting him repeatedly. Even when they were targeting the humans, they had to use his name as the excuse. This was intolerable.

Sure, Su Yu had severed his relationship with humanity. But he understood that humanity had indeed been implicated by his actions. He felt both helpless and furious.

Since they couldn't kill him, they were taking their anger out on the humans. The immortals were truly shameless and annoying. He became firmer and firmer in his desire to hunt the immortals to extinction.

But soon, Su Yu suppressed the anger in his heart. For now, there was nothing he could do. The nine-leaf skylotus was the only thing that could change this. He focused on the nine-leaf skylotus, looking at the slowly blooming final petal.

"Immortals...when I gain enough strength to kill Invincibles, all immortals will die. Everyone else can be spared, but not the immortals."

Su Yu swore to himself. The immortals had successfully provoked his full wrath.
