Chapter 1566: Help Is Useless (4)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

At the same time.

Death Realm.

Inside an ancient and large castle, a powerful being suddenly opened his eyes. He looked in a certain direction for a short moment before calling out, "Guards."

Shortly after, a death sovereign entered the room and bowed, "Lord."

"Did something happen near the thirtieth eastern region?"

"Allow this subordinate to investigate..."

"No. It's fine."

The powerful being stood up. With a look of indifference, he said, "Some living beings might have entered and encountered trouble. A descendant of my living self must be among them."

"Lord, this..."

"I'll be back shortly."

He did not bother to explain much.

The death sovereign advised, "Lord, this is not advisable. That is Spirit Suppression General's territory. Something happened there not too long ago. Going there now might lead to conflict."

"Grand Dream?" The powerful being frowned and said, "That old turtle sure is long-lived. But if he dares to stop me this time, I won't hold back."

After saying that, he vanished with a flicker.

***

Meanwhile, almost all the Invincibles who had entered the Death Realm had died.

But when Su Yu saw Wisdom King's token, his heart started palpitating.

What was that?

Wisdom King himself was still busy fighting a group of death sovereigns. It didn't look like he would last much longer. But Su Yu couldn't help but feel uncomfortable upon seeing that token. Something was telling him that a massive crisis was approaching.

Even his tribulation character was starting to pulse. Just what was going on? He had no idea. Those around him had no idea either.

At the same time, an additional person could be seen beside Wan Tiansheng. Knowing that a battle had erupted in the Death Realm, Liu Hong had arrived to watch the show.

But when he saw the token, he started frowning. After thinking about it for a bit, his expression changed drastically as he shouted, "Run! That's a death spirit summoning token! It is capable of summoning an ancient death spirit from the immortal race no weaker than a marquis. Anyone weaker than a marquis won't have the ability to produce something like this!"

Su Yu's expression changed as well. Damn it! Was this really possible?

Wisdom King also looked shocked, but he was more shocked because he had not expected anyone to know this. After all, this was unknown to even many immortals.

Liu Hong shouted again, "Run! A death spirit capable of doing this must have gained full control over his emotions, with none of his past memories missing. This won't be an ordinary death spirit!"

Ordinary death spirits, even at He Tu's level, would only remember their past without their past emotions. He would feel nothing even when humans were being killed in front of him.

That was what it meant to be a death spirit.

Even if He Tu had a living child, he would not care about the living child after becoming a death spirit. As for his willingness to work with Su Yu, that was strictly due to his desire for rebirth.

However, a death spirit who had produced a summoning token for his descendants would have preserved even his past emotions as well. Naturally, these past emotions would slowly fade over time.

Thus, this was a form of gamble by Wisdom King. He was betting that the ancient death spirit had yet to lose all his emotions toward the immortals. Otherwise, such a death spirit could very well start attacking indiscriminately upon arriving. At the time, Wisdom King himself would suffer as well.

He Tu and the others were alarmed upon hearing Liu Hong's words.

A marquis.

Someone from the ancient past.

Not one of such beings would be weak. None of them would be weaker than a Daofuse. And such beings would remain Daofuses even after dying.

Su Yu was just about to say that they had enough numbers to not fear a marquis when He Tu's voice transmission arrived, "Run! Death spirits have no feelings, but a level of suppression exists. Do not place your hope on these sovereigns. They won't fight a marquis for you. They have an instinctual dread of death spirit marquises. They will never fight such an opponent for you."

Finally, Su Yu started worrying as well. He still knew too little about death spirits. Meanwhile, Wisdom King was smiling despite his heavy injuries. He knew that he had won the gamble. Noticing Wisdom King's smile, Su Yu was furious.

What was the point of killing all the other Invincibles? This was his main target!

A marquis? The old turtle had promised that he wouldn't be bothered by such existences. Would that promise still hold here? The old turtle was already busy dealing with the Heavenly Overseer Marquis. Could he deal with a death spirit marquis on top of that?

"Let's kill him before the marquis arrives!"

Su Yu gnashed his teeth and decided to finish the job before running. He couldn't accept giving up just like this.

He rushed forth and attacked madly, but Wisdom King merely focused on evading while sneering, "Why are you still here? Are you waiting to die? Su Yu, you're not good enough to kill me. An ancient immortal marquis is coming. It won't even take him that long."

Su Yu ignored those words. Arriving soon was very different from having arrived.

His tribulation character was still pulsing at a relatively low intensity. It wouldn't be too late for him to run when the intensity increased.

Even if he couldn't kill Wisdom King here, he had to seriously injure Wisdom King first. Then, he could wait at the other side of the death tunnel and block Wisdom King's exit. He was determined to not let Wisdom King escape.

***

Beside the tunnel.

Seeing that Su Yu was not fleeing, Liu Hong gasped in shock. That madman!

He hurriedly said, "Principal Wan, let's go. We need to exit the tunnel. The ancient marquis will be here soon. Su Yu is too crazy. He's seeking death!"

Wan Tiansheng frowned and said, "Since you know about this token, is there a way to nullify it?"

"Nullify my ass—"

Suddenly, he recalled something and stopped. With a frown, he said, "It's hard to say..."

He inhaled deeply, looked at the distant Su Yu, and said, "Principal, this bastard has been bullying me a lot lately. I can help here, but tell him to kowtow and apologize to me the next time he sees me. Can you do that?"

Wan Tiansheng said, "I think you're better off praying that he dies here."

"..."

Liu Hong was left speechless momentarily. Shortly after, he sent a voice transmission, "I can't guarantee anything. If the kid was lying to me about this previously, you can't blame me for failing. If the kid had been honest..."

He took Culture King's token out and said, "Principal, hand this to him. Tell him to stuff it into the Gravekeeper's mouth. If the Gravekeeper isn't around, he should just focus on fleeing instead. But if the Gravekeeper is really here, this might help."

"Gravekeeper?"

Wan Tiansheng didn't have the time to think too much about it and started flying toward Su Yu. When Su Yu saw that, he shouted, "Go back!"

Wan Tiansheng ignored the shout and sent a voice transmission, "Liu Hong told you to stuff this thing into the Gravekeeper's mouth. He claimed that this would help. I'll return now. If you find things getting difficult, just come back."

After saying that, he tossed the token over. Su Yu withdrew from the battle to catch the token. Wisdom King did not try to stop him. Rather, Wisdom King was happy to see him withdraw. After all, his offensive prowess was still very annoying to deal with.

The moment Su Yu caught the token, he realized that it was Culture King's token. He was greatly surprised. Feeding this thing to Dummy?

Would it work?

Whatever.

He flew toward Dummy, who was blankly attacking not far away. At this point, Dummy had been driven into a state of aggression by the prolonged combat. Thus, he showed signs of attacking Su Yu when he noticed Su Yu's approach.

"Senior Xia Chen!"

Fortunately, Su Yu's shout stopped him momentarily. Then, Su Yu took the chance to stuff the token right into his mouth.

Dummy swallowed the token with a blank expression. Moments later, his body started shining while a look of clarity slowly returned to his eyes. At the same time, his aura started rising.

Eventually, he regained his full clarity. In fact, he had so much clarity it almost felt like he had returned to life if it wasn't for the death qi still swirling around his body.

He recalled something and said to Su Yu, "You...Culture King's token..."

"Yes."

Su Yu nodded and pointed at the token in the sky.

When Dummy looked up, his expression changed as he said, "Marquis...a marquis' token..."

Clearly, he knew what that was.

He then looked in the Celestial River of Death's direction as his aura continued rising. He said, "You...kill him...I...intercept! This is a death spirit marquis...one who has regained his previous individuality...after killing...leave!"

With a hum, he tore an opening in the air.

Immediately after, a furious roar rang out from the distant Celestial River of Death, "Audacious! Who dares to stop me?"

"Heaven Suppressing Fist!"

A roar reverberated everywhere as a fist descended. The entire Celestial River of Death started shaking.

He Yu and the others were completely stunned. He Tu, in particular, was even more shocked as he exclaimed, "Holy shit! Is that thing capable of bringing one back to life?"

Dummy had resurrected!

He Tu asked with regret, "Do you have more of it?"

He roared with desperation. He wanted one as well!

That punch of Dummy felt just as strong as He Tu during his peak.

"Focus on killing him first."

Su Yu cut He Tu off. Why did he talk that much? They should be focusing on their task at hand first.

Meanwhile, Wisdom King was greatly horrified. How could this happen? Who was that death spirit? And what did he eat? How did he grow so strong out of nowhere? He had actually grown strong enough to intercept an ancient marquis! Alas, he did not have the time to ask more questions.

The other death sovereigns were slightly shocked, but they soon threw the matter out of their minds and resumed their attacks. What could be more important than killing this living being? As for that marquis...well, the marquis wasn't here yet, right? Why should they worry about the marquis so early?

There was nothing to fear.

Boom!

A punch from Su Yu cracked Wisdom King's body. At the same time, the attacks of the death sovereigns rained down. In no time, Wisdom King lost his first body. His second body appeared, but it didn't last long either.

Far away, two incomparably powerful existences were in an intense battle.

The entire Celestial River of Death was shaking violently.

"Damn it! Who are you?"

The death spirit marquis' furious roars resounded in the air. Meanwhile, Dummy attacked silently without saying anything. He had clearly grown much stronger than before as he was only slightly disadvantaged even when facing an ancient marquis.

After an indeterminate amount of time, a desperate wail rang out.

"NO! Save me, Ancestor!"

Wisdom King was on the verge of death. He was feeling boundless fear. He did not want to die. He wasn't supposed to die here! His ancestor was here! Why? Why did a super expert appear out of nowhere?

Su Yu continued punching indifferently. Eventually, Wisdom King's final body fell apart. A cloud dropped from the sky. Su Yu took the cloud into his Mark of Civilization before fleeing without wasting even a moment.

He moved in the direction of the death tunnel. The death sovereigns considered attacking him, but they noticed his thick death qi. For a moment, he felt even more like a death spirit than all of them. Thus, they hesitated.

During their hesitation, Su Yu said, "Don't worry, Sovereigns. I will bring you more fresh meat soon."

With that promise, Su Yu started moving through the tunnel.

Far away, a furious roar rang out, "Damn it! You are provoking me!"

That was the voice of the death spirit marquis. His descendant had died.

Seeing that Dummy was showing signs of losing, the furious marquis was about to continue attacking when a voice came behind him, "Marquis Qishan, it's time for you to leave. Don't forget that this is Spirit Suppression General's territory. Do you really want to start a war with him?"

"Damn it!"

Marquis Qishan was furious, but he knew that he couldn't stay longer. If the Spirit Suppression General was really provoked, even he would suffer from it.

"Damn you all! Just you wait!"

With boundless fury, he left.

Dummy did not give chase. There was no point since he wasn't a match. Also, an odd look was covering his eyes as he seemed to have recalled something. He floated above the river unmovingly.

***

Outside, the entire world was shaking.

The shakings of the Immortal Realm were even more intense.

Volcanoes were erupting, the ground was cracking, storms raged everywhere, and countless buildings collapsed.

Tiangu had a solemn expression. Dead?

How was this possible?

Even in the event of an ambush, Wisdom King should be able to survive with the summoning token. Unless...Marquis Qishan had lost his past individuality. But his individuality had always been stable. How would this happen?

He had placed a high hope on Marquis Qishan. That was why he had handed the token to Wisdom King. Just what happened down there? Tiangu's mood became incomparably heavy.
