Chapter 1551: Start Of Battle (1)

Four Invincibles had been killed at the very start of the battle.

The group of charging Invincibles stopped mid-charge, staring at Su Yu as their hearts thumped violently.

The human race.

Was the human race going to produce yet another monster capable of suppressing all existence?

More portals appeared everywhere. Numerous ancient Invincibles arrived. The situation had progressed beyond what those who were originally here could handle. Before long, the ancient experts of the major races started arriving as well.

An elderly immortal with age spots on his face arrived on a River of Time. While coughing, he lightly said, "Guardians of the holy cities, what are you doing?"

"Jade King!"

The immortal Invincibles were first shocked to see him here, but next, they all bowed in respect. Meanwhile, the humans had no idea who this was.

Some of the ancient race experts recognized the old immortal. One of them sent a voice transmission in shock, "Jade King...wasn't this the old monster from the seventh epoch? He once fought the human king of the seventh epoch..."

"Yes! It was him! There are records in my race about him. During the seventh epoch, the immortals produced a monster, occupying the number one spot on the Heaven Index."

"He's not dead?"

"According to the records, he was killed during the ninth epoch."

"Were the records referring to only his tri-life bodies?"

The various experts discussed with disbelief. A monster from the seventh epoch had arrived. He might look aged, but in truth, he was much younger than many other ancient experts. But from his aged appearance, he might have suffered some grave injuries before.

The old immortal called Jade King looked at Su Yu before looking at the guardians. With another cough, he said, "Holy guardians, you did not take sides during the previous nine epochs. Humanity isn't any stronger than the humanity of the previous nine epochs. Please think carefully about this. The real strength of the immortals, devils, divines, and humans is unknown to the humans, minor races, and new races. But as guardians, you are well aware."

Before Su Yu could say anything, Heavendoom roared with laughter.

"Who do you think you are? So what if the immortal race is strong? Are you strong?"

With a howl, Heavendoom tore an opening in the air and pulled a staff made of source qi out. Then, he swung the staff at Jade King.

Jade King's expression changed. He sighed and said, "Heavendoom, you are indeed as impatient as the ancient records suggest. But this...is the same as courting death!"

With a chant, Jade King manifested countless swords around him. The swords formed a net of swords before shooting toward Heavendoom.

"Looks like talking is useless here."

Jade King demonstrated an incredible level of strength. He remained completely calm despite Heavendoom's strength as he said, "After suppressing the death tunnels for countless years, you have performed great merit to all living beings. Alas, you are short-sighted. That will be the cause of your elimination."

As Jade King spoke, Heavendoom started smashing the swords away, but there seemed to be no end to them.

Just as a different guardian was about to help, Heavendoom roared, "I'll do this myself!"

Jade King? That was merely a junior. How dare a junior strut around like that? A boundlessly ferocious howl resounded in the area as a gigantic ancient ape appeared before everyone's eyes. At the sight of that, even Jade King's expression changed.

Grandstar laughed, "He's courting death. How dare he provoke Heavendoom?"

"You have successfully offended me!"

Heavendoom was indeed furious. Just then, he received a voice transmission from Su Yu. At that, he roared with even more ferocity than before.

"Die!"

That roar of his caused countless people to start bleeding from their ears. Up in the sky, a massive staff appeared. Nearby, Heavendoom City had vanished. The staff descended into Heavendoom's hand.

Boom!

He slammed the staff down. The sky itself was ripped into two as the staff moved downward.

Jade King's expression changed further as he hurriedly combined all his swords to form a massive sword and face the incoming staff.

Rumble!

The deafening impact caused even the nearby Invincibles to cough blood from discomfort. Under everyone's shocked gazes, the staff cracked the sword before striking Jade King, smashing him apart as well.

Far away, someone stepped forth, followed by a second person and a third person. All of them attacked the massive staff together. Heavendoom laughed heartily as the ominous glint in his eyes intensified.

"Kids, are you strutting around before your grandpa?"

Meanwhile, the nearby Invincibles continued staring with disbelief. Jade King had been smashed apart. He had lost a tri-life body. He was a ninth-degree Eternal, making the feat even more shocking.

Numerous people looked at where Heavendoom City used to stand. There, a dark portal had appeared. However, not a tiny bit death qi had leaked out of it. Su Yu alone had shouldered the entirety of the burden. Su Yu, with his fluttering black robes, merely watched on indifferently.

Behind him, Grandstar snorted. Next, Grandstar and Empyrean Cloud acted. They attacked the ones who had joined the battle.

Heavendoom maintained his gigantic form as he swept his staff toward Jade King's River of Time. As of that moment, it felt as though reality itself had faded into the background. In all existence, only that staff existed. It tore reality itself apart as it swept forth.

Jade King? Was he that impressive?

Heavendoom was boundlessly ferocious. Back in the ancient past, he had always been known as a wild and unruly beast. Eventually, the old turtle subdued him. Thus, he became a part of the Spirit Suppression Court under the old turtle's rule. Even Devote King would treat him with respect and kindness, and Devote King himself had advised the old turtle to keep Heavendoom's bad temper in check.

It had been a hundred thousand years since then. After a hundred thousand years of patience, Heavendoom was running wild again.

Yet another deafening rumble rang out. A massive sword in the sky shattered. It was Jade King's sword.

"Damn it!"

A furious roar rang out as Jade King's River of Time started moving. It vanished with a flicker before appearing far away. Then, a young man stepped out of it.

Jade King.

Young, tyrannical, and outstanding.

However, he had a pale expression. He looked furious as his aura dropped from its peak.

He had lost a tri-life body on top of a heaven weapon.

Heavendoom! Damn him!

The ferocious glint in Heavendoom's eyes remained. Just as he was about to give chase, Su Yu laughed and said, "Lord Heavendoom, please calm down. There are plenty of people for you to kill here. There is no need to rush when dealing with a nobody like that."

"Hmph!"

With a snort, Heavendoom stepped down. The massive staff transformed back into an ancient city and returned to its previous position. Grandstar and the others retreated as well. Once again, the thirty-five stone statues stood behind Su Yu.

Looking at the various experts who were starting to stir, Su Yu laughed and said, "Seniors, since you are here, don't be shy. Show your face. Let's have a talk. But if you're someone unaware of how cruel reality is like Jade King, don't bother. You'll only be embarrassing yourself."

Far away, Jade King stared at Su Yu coldly.

Su Yu met his gaze and sneered, "What is that expression? Are you unhappy? In terms of seniority, those behind me are much older than you. In terms of strength, you are too weak to even take a staff from Heavendoom. In terms of talent, I can probably grow faster than you even if I lie on my back doing nothing all day long. As a piece of trash who has yet to achieve Daofuse from the seventh epoch until now, the fuck are you looking at me for?"

"..."

No reply came.

Behind him, the guardians looked somewhat awkward hearing those words. Su Yu sent them a voice transmission promptly, "Things are different for you, Seniors. You have dedicated your time and effort to the suppression of the death tunnels. You are different from these pieces of trash."

They felt much more comfortable after hearing those words. True.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Invincibles looked uncomfortable. Must one achieve Daofuse just because one had been alive since the seventh epoch? If Daofuse were so easy to achieve, there would have been a lot more Pseudo Emperors around.

Those words were too grating to their ears.

Jade King continued staring at Su Yu coldly, but Su Yu merely sneered and moved on. Such contempt felt even worse than killing him upright. Thus, Jade King spoke, "During the seventh epoch, I killed seven human Eternals."

Su Yu replied nonchalantly, "Is that so? By the way, up until now, I have killed more than seven immortal kings. I can't even be bothered to keep count anymore. Five in the mansion, two earlier, and one not long ago...Since you immortals have so many kings, I'm trying to kill a hundred of them. Isn't that a beautiful number?"

With a gentle smile on his face, Su Yu looked around and asked again, "Seniors, are you unwilling to show yourself? Or perhaps you believe that I am not qualified to see you. Is that the case?"

A short moment later, one ancient expert after another revealed themselves. Once again, the various Invincibles were shocked. They hurriedly bowed at their respective ancient fossils. These were all ancient fossils. Some were experts of the ninth epoch, some were experts of the eighth epoch, and so on.

Ten of them had appeared. All of them were late-degree Eternals, and they came from various different races such as the divine, devil, immortal, dragon, and nether races.

After a while, Jade King returned to his people. Beside him, four individuals appeared. Including him, there were five of them in the group. Each was an incredibly powerful expert.

Jade King had an unsightly expression. He had lost a body to Heavendoom right after appearing. His sense of mystery and overbearingness had been shattered. Thus, he didn't even know what to say anymore.
