Chapter 1460: Horrified Mo Duona (1)

Sky Sundering Saber!

With the various tricks available to him, Su Yu started accumulating wounds on Zhankui's body.

Was Zhankui strong?

Yes. Stronger than Su Yu.

But Su Yu did not aim to kill Zhankui instantly. Rather, he circled Zhankui while accumulating wounds on Zhankui. Slowly but surely, his blood character gathered Zhankui's blood. One ought to remember that blood essence was something extracted from blood.

Zhankui was a Pseudo Invincible. Due to the backlash of losing his past body, his combat strength had dropped to the level of a peak ninth-stage Sunmoon. However, that did not change the fact that he was still a Pseudo Invincible. Thus, his blood essence would be the blood essence of a Pseudo Invincible.

Su Yu was slower, but he had too many tricks. Without using the river of time, Zhankui would be faster, but not fast enough to completely evade his attacks.

Su Yu had also been using the slow character to slow Zhankui down, the suppress character to suppress the space around Zhankui, and the vibrate character to generate tremors all around Zhankui.

All his characters were doing their job. This wasn't enough to kill Zhankui. These Mountainsea characters couldn't even leave a wound on his body. But that did not matter. For Su Yu, his characters had always been the supporting cast, not the main cast.

While fighting Zhankui, Su Yu was paying attention to his book as well. The beasts killed by the people inside his book would respawn, but they would be weaker than before. Some of the beasts had been killed so many times that they had dropped below the Sunmoon Realm in strength.

Su Yu's heart ached. When these beasts were killed enough times, his book itself might also drop in strength. It might even lose some of its golden stripes.

"Open!"

With a roar, Su Yu pulled even more death qi into his body. Xing Yue should work harder. He needed more death qi.

***

At the same time.

Inside the death tunnel.

Xing Yue had an unsightly expression as the death qi inside her rippled violently. How strong was Su Yu at the moment?

He was essentially absorbing her death qi at the speed of a ninth-stage Sunmoon. It was still slower than the speed of an Invincible, but it was still annoying. How long would that bastard continue doing this?

"Bastard!"

Xing Yue roared in fury. She had just arrived yet that fellow was already targeting her.

The surrounding death sovereigns looked at her curiously. One of them asked, "Xing Yue, are you fine?"

"Don't worry about it." Xing Yue said, "I'm converting a Pseudo Invincible. If I succeed, he will be able to help us. He's currently in the mansion. With his help, we can open the tunnel and join hands with He Tu to kill everyone!"

The death sovereigns blanked out upon hearing that. One of them asked, "You have a Pseudo Invincible under your control?"

Xing Yue said indifferently, "Of course. But he's too strong. It's not easy to convert him with the death tunnel between us. Can anyone lend me a hand? Without help, I might need to give up."

After knowing the treacherous Su Yu, Xing Yue had learned to scheme as well. She naturally couldn't tell them that someone was restricting her strength. That would only lead to her death.

These death sovereigns would not hesitate to consume her the moment she showed any weakness. Thus, she created a favorable situation for herself. She told them that she was converting a Pseudo Invincible. If she were to succeed, all of them would benefit. If she were to fail, well, there wasn't much she could do about it.

These were all death spirits with incomplete memories. Those who had recovered more of their memories wouldn't be fooled by He Tu so easily.

Sure enough, a death sovereign responded, "Is he really that strong? To the point you're finding it difficult to convert him?"

"The heavenly laws are restricting me. I can only keep working at it blindly."

"Let us assist you."

Instantly, a large amount of death qi was transferred into Xing Yue's body. A death sovereign said in excitement, "If you can convert a Pseudo Invincible, open the death tunnel, and draw He Tu over, the Luminous Domain Mansion will be ours!"

"Hahaha! Exactly!"

"Xing Yue! Keep at it! We'll help you!"

Xing Yue sat down cross-legged with an indifferent expression as a large amount of death qi vanished inside her body. Inwardly, she had an odd feeling. Death spirits were indeed dumb. No wonder Su Yu was always so proud in front of her. He had always treated her like a child.

Hmph!

She, too, was capable of scamming others now. There was no need for her to fear Su Yu! Xing Yue did not bother rejecting the death qi pouring into her from the death sovereigns. While providing Su Yu with energy, she cursed him inwardly. That bastard was growing stronger and stronger. She was finding it hard to satisfy him alone. Fortunately, there were so many dumb death sovereigns here to help her with it.

"Look at these fools. Thank you, fools."

The other death sovereigns could sense the intense death qi fluctuations in her body. They grew even more excited upon sensing that. One of them said, "The person Xing Yue is converting isn't weak at all. Is he near dao affirmation?"

"Forceful conversion takes a lot more energy. Work harder, everyone. Pseudo Invincibles aren't easy to convert..."

"Of course. We will all benefit from this."

The death sovereigns were feeling incredibly excited. Good things were happening to them repeatedly. He Tu was here to open the tunnel. Xing Yue was on the verge of converting a Pseudo Invincible. There was no way this tunnel would stay shut. The death sovereigns held nothing back.

Meanwhile, Xing Yue maintained an indifferent expression. Very good. How would that bastard like this? She had obtained an unlimited supply of death qi.

***

Xing Yue had learned to use her brain.

That was something Su Yu had never expected. He had been worrying that his absorption would weaken Xing Yue so much that she would die in the hands of other death sovereigns. Thus, he had been quite nervous while absorbing Xing Yue's death qi. If he somehow caused her death, it could prove troublesome.

Without Xing Yue, he would remain strong thanks to his yang acupoint. However, he wouldn't be able to sustain himself for long. As his blood character worked unrelentingly, a drop of blood essence started taking form.

As for Zhankui, he was slowly dropping in strength. Of course, Su Yu had also sustained numerous wounds from the battle. Unfortunately for Zhankui, Su Yu was constantly eating the lotus root to heal himself.

"Damn it!" Zhankui roared in fury, "Faster! Damn it! Finish your fight and kill this bastard!"

Recovery wasn't easy for someone at his cultivation level. Not everyone had access to unlimited treasures like Su Yu. In order to get himself a carrier treasure, he had basically exhausted his wealth. Thus, he did not have any healing treasures he could use during combat.

Meanwhile, Su Yu's lotus root was exceptional for healing physical injuries. After all, it was good enough to heal his body even when he was experimenting on himself. Without all these treasures, even Su Yu would have a hard time fighting the current Zhankui.

The longer the battle went on, the more annoyed Zhankui was. How could someone shove treasures down their throat nonstop during a battle? This did not make any sense. Where did Su Yu get so many treasures?

Zhankui was losing his mind. He had a feeling that if he could keep this balance, Su Yu wouldn't be able to kill him. But he could also feel himself weakening. Meanwhile, Su Yu was still dragging the fight out. He needed at least two drops of blood essence.

One to activate the page and one to give him the strength of a Pseudo Invincible. He had sustained a lot of injuries, but he was rich enough to keep recovering. He was waiting for the second drop of blood essence. He needed more time to bleed his opponent more. He needed at least one-tenth of Zhankui's blood to extract another drop of blood essence.

Naturally, blood essence could theoretically be created unendingly from the same person so long as that person was left alive. However, this would damage the foundations of that person.

For example, Hong Tan had been extracting the blood essence of the beasts in his research center for many years. Due to that, their foundations had been damaged, preventing them from returning to their peak. They had only recovered somewhat due to the influence of Su Yu's fire of inheritance.

"Crushing Mountainsea!"

"Suppressing Sunmoon!"

"Battling Invincible!"

After throwing a series of punches at Zhankui, Su Yu switched to his legs and started kicking while shoving more lotus roots down his throat.

His style of combat was incredibly infuriating. Even Mo Duona was triggered by how he fought. Eventually, Mo Duona asked, "Can you share some with me?"

He had sustained heavy injuries as well. He had been dragged into the River of Time by Yang Hu. There, Yang Hu kept trying to reverse him to the moment before he consumed blood essence to kill him. That was essentially his weakest moment. It wasn't even that long in the past, so the difficulty of reverting to that moment wasn't too high.

However, a Pseudo Invincible still couldn't control the River of Time so easily. As a result, Yang Hu kept failing his attempts while sustaining even more injuries from Mo Duona's spear.

Eventually, Yang Hu lost his temper and started attacking without bothering to reverse time anymore. An Invincible could probably try doing that, but the difficulty was simply too high for him. That was especially true when he was trying to use it against a top genius like Mo Duona. Inside the book, Xuan Wuji and the others were still fighting the beasts.

While fighting, Xuan Wuji shouted, "Su Yu, you're dead! You will regret exposing yourself! Buy us a little bit of time! We'll kill him soon!"

Boom!

Yet another beast was punched apart by him. Thus far, about half the beasts in the book had died. It wouldn't take them much longer to leave the book. At the same time, he was also very alarmed. This book was simply too powerful.

While fighting, Taihe sent a voice transmission, "Prince, we need to snatch this weapon! This book is a carrier treasure! With such a stable space inside, some carrier treasures must have been used to forge it!"

He was not the only person with this realization. Many of them had realized the same thing. They all coveted this book. It could be sold for no less than three carrier treasures. They were sure that at least two carrier treasures had been used during the forging of this book.

Su Yu was simply too rich. What manner of a madman would do something like that? No wonder the book could suppress even Sunmoons like them. This was something even Invincibles would covet.

Dao Cheng was greatly alarmed. He noticed the same as well. However, he did not feel any greed over the book. Rather, he sent a voice transmission to the others, "Kill our way out as soon as possible. We can get anything we want after killing Su Yu."

Taihe was much less worried. He said, "He's not Zhankui's match. Give us some time. It won't be long before we can break free."

"I'm feeling very uneasy."

Just then, several Sunmoon beasts charged them, keeping them busy again. These beasts were very annoying. Some of the beasts had been killed so many times they had dropped to the Mountainsea Realm, yet they were still fighting unrelentingly. There seemed to be no end to them.
