Chapter 2252: Lunatics Are The Scariest (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

When Su Yu focused, he felt as though he was looking at chaos itself. And upon further focus...he gasped.

That was no little beast. It was a gorgeous tiger, one that was incomparably powerful. However, it was akin to a kitten before the old man. With a single strike by the bamboo stick, it started bleeding and its dao power started scattering.

A certain understanding dawned on Su Yu. This was a chaos beast, one as powerful as a Master of Law. Yet the old man was able to drive it away like it was a common animal.

"Too strong."

Su Yu was greatly shocked. What an amazing display of prowess! This was truly someone of squashing Masters of Laws like bugs.

Human Ancestor.

Which era was he from?

According to Yu, he hailed from an incredibly ancient era.

Like the human lord's tokens and Human Emperor's token, the bamboo stick was a symbol of authority for the early humans.

"Was this the scene Hundred Battle saw?"

Yes, this was indeed an impressive sight. Su Yu even started wondering if Human Emperor and his cohort were as strong as Human Ancestor. Was Human Ancestor capable of defeating Masters of Laws so easily?

The higher one's status, the more one could see. Or to be precise, the bigger the share of humanity's fortune one had, the more one could see. With a quick glance at the crowd, Su Yu could see that most remained relatively unaffected, but some were absolutely terrified.

Great Zhou King, Lan Tian, Wan Tiansheng…

The ones who were weaker, or the ones who were not humans, were much less affected by the projected scene.

"Human Ancestor..."

Su Yu wasn't too surprised. As the leader of humanity during the primordial past, the higher one's status among humanity, the more one could see.

Suddenly, Su Yu's vision changed. He felt as though he had transformed into the little beast. A bamboo stick landed on his body, and his dao snapped. He felt as though he was dying. His body was incomparably powerful, yet it was disintegrating under the might of the bamboo stick.

Death.

The threat of death engulfed him. The threat of true death.

***

And then, Su Yu's vision blurred again as the projection reverted to what it was. The bamboo stick was still there, but it no longer felt as intimidating as before. Yu looked much paler than before, as though the previous change was caused by her. However, she was unable to keep it running for long.

She stared at Su Yu coldly and demanded with a sneer, "Release me, Su Yu."

From Su Yu's pale expression as he stared at the bamboo stick, Yu assumed that he had lost his courage.

However, Su Yu merely mumbled as he gasped repeatedly, "Amazing. Incredible. What an incredible bamboo stick...Good heavens! It's a waste to leave that bamboo stick in your hands! This won't do! I must get my hands on that bamboo stick!"

Su Yu was practically salivating at the bamboo stick. With a mad gleam in his eyes, he said, "It's even more impressive than Xing Yu's token. It is an offensive weapon. Heavens! Human Ancestor's personal weapon! What a treasure! Kill her! Not even her son can save her today! Not even her grandpa can save her today!"

Su Yu glared at the others and roared, "What are you staring at, Great Zhou King? Are you deaf? Kill her! Pay whatever price you need! At worst, you'll die and I'll resurrect you!

"That stick in her hand is an absolute treasure. It was able to influence even my mind, allowing me to experience death for a split second. What an utterly amazing experience. It has been quite a while since I experienced death. I last experienced it during my creation. It has been two months since then!"

Yu blanked out.

Su Yu roared again, "Hurry the fuck up!"

The sensation of death...was incredible. Unfortunately, he still couldn't get a proper sleep. His previous experience with death was slightly different. Time had halted for a moment, granting him the opportunity to take a short nap.

As for the so-called threat of death the bamboo stick was trying to bombard him with...pft.

Su Yu was completely unaffected. He had died countless times thanks to the Book of Time. And he had even experienced true death once during his creation. It was no big deal. A first experience with death would indeed be terrifying.

Su Yu still remembered his first brush with death during his first childhood nightmare. It had been so harrowing that he was stuck delirious and sick for a few days after the experience. He had even refrained from sleeping for some time after that, nearly killing himself with sheer exhaustion.

His second experience was just as terrifying. His third experience was scary as well. And then, the fourth experience came. Followed by the fifth experience. And more. At this point, Su Yu was already immune to the sensation of death.

He was already used to it. The ability to get used to something was the scariest ability to have. Did Hundred Battle King lose his courage from something like this?

Su Yu thought about it and agreed that it was feasible. That could very well be Hundred Battle King's first time experiencing something like that. Coupled with Yu's presence, he lost all his courage.

At the time, it was likely that Hundred Battle King was still a heavenly king. But as the ninth human lord, the leader of the strongest humanity in nine epochs, he must have seen quite a lot from the vision.

This loss of courage was understandable. But was the vision truly so terrifying? Su Yu had experienced death as a little kid, but he did not lose his courage completely like Hundred Battle King.

At that thought, Su Yu was left speechless. He had been experiencing death since he was six. And he had survived just fine.

While Su Yu was deep in thought, Yu's expression changed drastically as a scene more terrifying than death unfolded before her eyes. With a roar from Su Yu, his trembling subordinates grew mad and charged at her, as though all their fear from before had vanished completely.

Su Yu's voice was still ringing in the background, "Kill him! Snatch that bamboo stick! What an amazing treasure! I already have a plan for it! I will crush it and fuse it with my world! Either Great Bamboo or March can use the resulting dao power. Good heavens. March, Great Bamboo, work hard! With this bamboo stick, I might be able to produce a new supreme powerhouse! I will hand the dao power to whoever works harder between the two of you! If none of you work hard enough, I'll hand it to September!"

"Roar!"

And then, March enlarged. To the side, Great Bamboo Marquis was enlarging as well. Even September was doing the same. In fact, he grew to an even bigger size than Great Bamboo Marquis.

The furious March roared at them, "Damn it! What do you think you're doing? September, you unfilial brat!"

Even September was trying to compete for the bamboo stick.

Damn it!

Ignoring the raging March, Great Bamboo Marquis started attacking Yu madly with his very own bamboo stick.

Kill!

Right at that moment, a different voice rang out, "Mine! It's mine, Your Majesty!"

Not far away, Heavendoom had transformed into a gigantic ape as he roared, "I can use a bamboo stick as well! I'm a stick user as well! Don't forget me, Your Majesty!"

Boom!

This was his final opportunity! He wanted to grow strong as well! He couldn't stay weak forever! He had been living quite a pitiful life as of late. Thus, he desperately needed that bamboo stick! He wanted to be a supreme powerhouse as well!

That wasn't a term Su Yu would use lightly. It was likely that with the dao power of the bamboo stick, one could grow into an existence second only to Su Yu! Heavendoom reasoned that his dao of staff was practically the same as a bamboo stick!

There was no difference! Thus, he had to compete as well.

"Eighteen Stances of Heavendoom!"

"Doom to the heaven, the earth, and all life!"

Boom!

A gigantic staff swept forth, rending the heaven and earth before landing on Yu's body. But with a casual swipe of her bamboo stick, she broke the former weapon of Immortal Battle Marquis into two.

At the sight of that, Heavendoom's excitement grew as he roared, "Mine! It will be mine!"

Too powerful!

However, there were too many competitors. March, Great Bamboo, and September were unleashing all their strength as well.

Even April, May, June, and August were attacking madly with their respective bamboo sticks. April, with his eyes widened in madness, roared, "I can accept this dao as well! I'm a suitable candidate as well! Die! Witness my prowess!"

"..."

Su Yu was completely dumbstruck. That was merely a random offer he had made passingly, but it had driven the entire iron devourer race mad. Apart from Full Moon, who was slightly more reserved, the others had gone mad. But that was understandable. This was a peak tier-three Master of Law, not a tier-three Daofuse.

This was someone who was still incredibly powerful despite of the suppression in Su Yu's world. But...were they not worried? The iron devourers were practically throwing the entire upper echelon of their race at Yu.

Yu was dumbstruck as well. Were these people not afraid of Human Ancestor?

She roared, "Do you not fear the great Human Ancestor?"

It was understandable for the non-humans to be largely unaffected, but what was going on with these humans? Were they not afraid? The answer was yes.

But someone muttered, "His Majesty is scarier."

"..."

Su Yu glared at the crowd. Who was it? Absolute nonsense! How was he scary? He was a benevolent leader! Like Human Emperor, he was filled with love toward his people! Who dared to slander him?

Su Yu's eyes were wide open as he scanned the crowd, looking for the one who had slandered him.

And finally, his gaze settled on someone. Silk Destroying King. Silk Destroying King had been keeping a low profile as of late, but he had actually grown into a heavenly king. Su Yu roared at him, "You dare slander me?"

"..."

Silk Destroying King paled. What? No!

What nonsense!

It wasn't him!

"Kill her! Silk Destroying, charge and kill her!"

Su Yu ordered furiously, "Kick her with your powerful Time technique! Kick her into her infancy! Do it! Don't forget to keep your distance! Don't approach her!"

"..."

Silk Destroying King gnashed his teeth and unleashed a storm of kicks from afar, leaving a trail of shattered space between him and Yu. Surprisingly, it worked. Yu could feel the slow passage of time around her.

Clearly, it wasn't too effective even if it was working. However, Silk Destroying King was already panting with exhaustion. The gap was too big. Was this a joke? How was he supposed to kick such a powerhouse back into infancy?

But he didn't dare to disobey Su Yu. That was an incredibly petty leader. He was certain that if he didn't obey, his embarrassing past would be known to all before long. It might even be etched into the annals of history for eternity. Thus, he could only endure this suffering in silence.

Yes, yes, that was him. But he was merely stating the truth. He was certain the others shared the thought, but those assholes had all kept their mouths shut while he acted as their spokesperson.

Sigh. Life sure was hard for honest individuals like him.

***

Yu couldn't believe it.

Su Yu? Scarier than Human Ancestor?

Fine, fine. This was also understandable as the majority of the influence from the vision had been focused on Su Yu. But Su Yu was completely unaffected. And it was also true that he was quite a scary man. It was reasonable that for some of them, he was scarier than Human Ancestor.

"Su Yu!"

Yu roared, "Do you really want a mutual destruction between us? I only need to detonate this item to destroy at least seventy percent of your world!"

Fear washed over Su Yu's face as he exclaimed, "Shit!"

He hurriedly pulled back and said, "Thank you for the reminder! I can resurrect the dead, but I can't allow my world to be destroyed. Thankfully, Human Emperor has yet to withdraw his world. Thanks, I'll shift the world around and place Human Emperor's world around you instead. Feel free to blast his world. Leave my world alone. Please, be nice. He has abandoned his world, anyway."

Yu blanked out slightly before despair covered her face.

Su Yu...yes, he was controlling two worlds at this moment. One belonged to Su Yu himself, while the other belonged to Human Emperor. Meanwhile, Great Zhou King and the others were cursing inwardly. This was total scumbag behavior. How could he offer Human Emperor's world as a sacrifice?
