Chapter 1779: Treacherous Su Yu (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

With his Heaven Gate open, the battles between daos were akin to an open book in Su Yu's eyes. The attacks West Royal Consort believed to be extremely hidden were completely open before him.

How her dao was moving, where she was attacking, her real targets, her power accumulation...

Great Qin King and Great Xia King couldn't sense all that easily. With their daos clashing intensely and explosions erupting everywhere, it was extremely hard for them to detect her hidden law attacks without the ability to see the daos and laws.

But they no longer needed to worry about that. Su Yu would handle everything for them. He wasn't strong enough to fight personally. Just because he could see it did not mean that he could react in time. For example, he could throw a punch at a Sunmoon. The Sunmoon could see it. He could even tell the Sunmoon about it. But so what? The Sunmoon still wouldn't be able to handle his punch.

However, Great Qin King and Great Xia King were already top Daofuses after fusing with the heavenly desolate beast's dao. In a battle between Daofuses, when neither side could gain an advantage through the clash of daos, they could only rely on their physical strength. And the two were very good at that.

After all, they had been walking the physical body dao even before they transformed into heavenly desolate beasts. In physical strength alone, West Royal Consort might not necessarily be a match for them. She was strong, but that was mostly due to her mastery over the laws.

Her sealing chains and raging flames.

One could control her opponents and one could attack her opponents.

Since she could pursue two daos at the same time, it was likely that she was an expert from the ancient past. After the collapse of the ancient past, the difficulty of pursuing multiple daos had increased significantly. But her advantage was completely worthless before Su Yu.

"Damn it! Curse you!"

West Royal Consort was losing her mind. She was actually being pushed back repeatedly! She was very strong. Her two opponents were strong as well, but their mastery over the laws was much lower than hers. Prior to this, she had easily suppressed the two and the old turtle.

But out of nowhere, she became the one to be pushed back.

Kill Su Yu!

Yes! She must kill Su Yu!

There were no secrets before him. All her attacks would be fully exposed before his eyes. With him around, she might really suffer defeat. The space split open and countless chains shot out toward Su Yu. At the same time, raging flames emerged around him.

As for Su Yu, he consumed a drop of golden peng blood essence. Instantly, the dao of the golden peng became visible to his eyes. It had the shape of a soaring golden peng, but it also looked rather illusory as Su Yu had only formed a connection with it through the Book of Time.

He was borrowing its power through an intermediary.

Even so, he comprehended countless profundities just by looking at that dao. Raising both his arms like they were wings, he danced amid the countless chains, cleanly evading every one of them. At the same time, he continued guiding the two kings, "Qin, three to the left. Xia, six above..."

The two didn't even bother to use their brains anymore. They only needed to act.

The spear of Qin and blade of Xia attacked madly.

They only needed to focus on following Su Yu's instructions. They weren't even paying attention to West Royal Consort anymore. No matter what, Su Yu was now commanding the strength of a Daofuse. Even without their protection, she wouldn't be able to kill him so easily.

Not even the powerful heavenly kings could instantly kill a Daofuse. Some time was required. And someone capable of seeing the daos and laws with his eyes like Su Yu, coupled with his countless trump cards, would be even harder to kill.

The two went fully on the offensive as they acted in accordance to Su Yu's guidance. They did not have to worry about defending themselves. With the Heavenearth Inkstone around, all their defensive needs were taken care of.

Boom!

The daos trembled as the chains shrank. Su Yu even took the chance to tear a few of them apart for consumption. He was also stealthily devouring the raging flames around him, further enraging West Royal Consort.

She was finally starting to worry. At this point, continuing the fight would be a bad idea. But withdrawal was also a bad idea. Even if she could flee, that would worsen the situation on West Heavenly King's side. What if her withdrawal caused his death?

After all, the experts out here could enter the Death Realm at any time. But staying seemed unwise either. She couldn't see any hope of winning this fight anymore. That damn Su Yu was not strong, but he was the most troublesome opponent here.

She had never fought a battle as vexing as this. With her grasp over two different daos, she was a top existence even during the ancient past. In fact, she was ranked similarly to the four heavenly kings. Her status was only lower than the ancient physical body dao human kings.

But now, two clearly weaker individuals had pushed her to such dire straits. Her face turned unsightly as she sank into thought. She had to establish contact with West Heavenly King to decide the proper course of action. As for the seal Su Yu had placed around her, she could break free so long as she was willing to pay the price.

At the same time, the old turtle had finally opened his eyes. His dao body had returned. West Royal Consort was still completely unaware of that. Strictly speaking, the old turtle was stronger than Great Qin King. He was only slightly weaker than West Royal Consort, but the gap was minuscule.

Previously, he had suffered massively in her hands. Now that his dao body had returned, he was starting to lose patience. He intended to give her a surprise attack while she was still preoccupied by her new opponents.

The white dog was also on his way up. After his attack, the white dog could follow with another attack. That should be enough to end this woman. Everyone present was a super expert. Heavenly kings were impressive, but that was relative. A heavenly king could fight five Daofuses at a time. Meanwhile, the old turtle could fight four at a time. Great Qin King and Great Xia King could each fight two at a time.

A smile took form on Su Yu's face.

Done.

The battle down there had concluded far earlier than expected. The white dog was truly impressive. He didn't even need to ask to know that the white dog had played a crucial role in the battle down there.

As of this moment, escape was no longer possible for West Royal Consort. His core concern right now was...how to kill her silently? Killing her could cause some trouble. After all, she was a living being. An incomparably powerful living being.

One could even say that she was the current strongest living being in the Myriad Realms. Killing her would most certainly generate a heavenly phenomenon. The moment she died, Tiangu and the others would notice what was happening. That could probably provoke them into going all out against humanity.

"The connection to the Upper Realm will take about ten more years to be fully restored. The exhaustion of too much power of laws might even accelerate the process. If the myriad races wish to go all out and bring that time forward, they can do it."

Even Su Yu was aware of multiple methods to achieve this.

Firstly, the myriad races could open multiple death tunnels with their gathered death qi. When the death spirits invaded the world of the living, the laws would react, and the power of laws would be further exhausted. But this was a costly method, one that they wouldn't use unless absolutely necessary.

Secondly, they could order some Sunmoons to advance through a method other than the Three Body Method. That would also attract the reaction of the laws. It was likely that the more powerful races still had these methods in their records. After all, the ancient past was not fully gone.

Thirdly, they could start a mad slaughter in the Allheaven Battlefield, slaughtering both their own people and the others. The laws would react by providing rewards to all the slaughterers. These were all the methods they could use to drain the power of laws.

However, ten years was a short time. Thus, many of them were willing to wait it out instead of taking such drastic measures. But the death of a super expert like West Royal Consort would likely drive them crazy, pushing them to restore the connection in advance out of fear of humanity's potential.

"West Royal Consort won't be easy to kill. Or to be precise, we can't afford to kill her."

Su Yu narrowed his eyes as he considered all that.

She should die, but not now. This was a bad time for her to die. He had to first gather enough strength to kill Tiangu and the others. Additionally, he also needed enough strength to take the war to the Upper Realm. Only then could he kill her.

At that thought, he sent the old turtle a voice transmission, "Think of a way to drag her into the Death Realm. Encircle her and destroy her physical body and dao body in there. Force her cultivation level to drop, but keep her alive."

He did not want to kill her first. Yes, it would feel great to kill her now. But it would ruin his plan. At this point, West Royal Consort was already as good as his. There was no doubt of that. If she could defeat them even in such a situation, humanity might as well surrender and stop struggling.

The old turtle was quite displeased to hear that. Sparing her life? He wanted to kill her!

Vengeance!

He had never suffered so much over his long years of life.

He had been neutral during the first nine epochs. As a powerful ancient guardian, nobody would provoke him as long as he maintained his neutrality. Therefore, this was an unprecedented event for him. He had nearly died. He was annoyed, but upon further thought, he understood Su Yu's concerns.

Killing West Royal Consort would result in even bigger troubles. As for the request to push her into the Death Realm, after living for so many years, the old turtle naturally had his ways to accomplish that. After all, he wasn't exactly brainless.

Abruptly, both his eyes widened as he clawed at West Royal Consort. He also soared into the sky before slamming his entire body down on her. He was still releasing the same level of strength as when his dao body was away.

Meanwhile, the path through the death tunnel was finally clear.

Since West Royal Consort had failed to kill him, she naturally had to consider her withdrawal. Where would she withdraw to? Would she pay a massive price to break free from the seal? Or would she try to enter the Death Realm and join hands with West Heavenly King?

It might seem like she had two choices, but in practice, she was left with only one choice. Her best option was to enter the Death Realm. Perhaps she could still reverse the situation after joining hands with West Heavenly King.

After all, Su Yu had quite a lot of allies in the world of the living. There were more Daofuses on his side that had yet to join the battle. Sure enough, as the old turtle joined the attack, West Royal Consort struggled even more.

Damn it!

Her plan to kill Grand Dream had failed! She could only abandon the plan for now. The appearance of two monsters like Great Qin King and Great Xia King was completely out of her expectations. Su Yu's ability to completely see her daos was also completely unexpected. It was pointless to keep fighting here.

The two padlocks were still flickering around them, sealing the entire space tightly. To break free, she would need to expend several drops of blood essence. But even if she could break free, there was no guarantee that she would be able to shake off their pursuit. Things would still be dangerous.

The Death Realm was different. Even if West Heavenly King had yet to win against the old turtle, she would have far more options down there.

The choice was obvious.

She had to return to the Death Realm.

After giving Su Yu a furious glare, she roared. An incomparably powerful physical chain appeared before her. That was a weapon. A divine weapon. Ignoring the old turtle, she sent the chain sweeping toward Su Yu.

That powerful attack alarmed the old turtle and the two kings. All of them shot toward Su Yu in hurry, defending Su Yu from the sudden attack. They could survive a hit from this attack. They were only worried that Su Yu would die from it.

After forcing the three to withdraw from her with that attack, West Royal Consort inhaled deeply and said, "Su Yu, I will be back!"

With boundless fury, she shot into the death tunnel. She had decided to leave. As for the people on the other side of the tunnel, not even death sovereigns could stop her. She had nothing to fear.

Boom!

With a rumble, the three experts successfully blocked the attack. Immediately after, the old turtle descended and sealed the death tunnel with his body again.

Great Xia King and Great Qin King wanted to give chase, but Su Yu stopped them and said, "Block the tunnel. Do not allow anyone to exit."

They were unaware of his plan, but they carried out his order without any hesitation. Before long, all three experts were suppressing the tunnel.

Su Yu ordered again, "Bombard the tunnel. Use all your strength. Ignore everything else."

Boom!

The three did as told.
