Chapter 1697: A Dog's Dao (4)

The tribulation this time was far stronger than the one before. It transformed into a red humanoid. With a spear in hand, it stepped forth and declared, "For defying the assembly, a punishment is deserved. Die."

It stabbed its spear at Su Yu.

Right at that moment, a golden cloud appeared in the sky.

When the cloud dropped down on Su Yu, he pushed it toward the tribulation with his Mark of Civilization.

Boom!

A deafening explosion erupted.

Then, Su Yu released thirty characters into the sky.

The fusion of his two remaining acupoints accelerated.

It was time for him to become a Sunmoon.

And finally, he completed his advancement.

He strode forth, approaching the red humanoid one step at a time. When he was near enough, he opened his mouth and bit down at the humanoid. The red humanoid was very powerful, but it had been weakened by the clash with Su Yu's heavenly reward.

Su Yu was consuming everything. The reward and tribulation continued clashing against each other, releasing power of laws suitable for consumption.

Su Yu wasn't worried that the tribulation would be too strong. As the reward and tribulation clashed, Su Yu started consuming the power of laws leaked by the two to strengthen himself. He had grown far stronger after becoming a Sunmoon.

He felt as though his body had surpassed the strength of ninety million acupoints. Unfortunately, the Heaven Gate could no longer give him as big of a boost in strength, but it also felt like it was on the verge of fully fusing with Su Yu.

At present, it could merely grant Su Yu a twenty percent increase in strength. But that was enough to push Su Yu beyond a hundred million acupoints. Of course, that was still nothing but brute force. Without the power of laws, he wouldn't be able to kill Daofuses.

That much was clear from observing the battle between the Daofuses. He wouldn't be able to land even one attack on them. In fact, he wouldn't be able to even approach them. They could easily flee or seal him with the power of laws.

Brute force would only work when both parties had a similar grasp over the laws. In such a situation, the brute force would serve the break the balance between the two. Otherwise, brute force would be completely useless against them.

This was what Su Yu lacked. But he wasn't too worried. His cultivation level was still low. While consuming the power of laws, he observed his surroundings. His body was still strengthening rapidly.

Just as the power of laws was about to run out, Su Yu started fusing his nine apertures. He was pushing his willpower to the Sunmoon Realm as well.

Rapid advancement would result in an unstable cultivation base, but he was unconcerned. He could always take this time tempering his foundations after this, but today, he wanted to use Fat Ball's blood. He wanted to witness just how powerful Fat Ball was.

Would it be enough to kill a Daofuse or two? His willpower started boiling while his characters started growing. A storm raged in his sea of willpower.

Not far away, the old turtle was roaring. With Mo Ji joining the battle, the old turtle was starting to use even more of his strength. He alone faced three Daofuses. It felt as though the world was ending.

The battle was spreading far and wide.

Under He Tu's lead, the death spirits had encountered the incoming immortals as well. Unsurprisingly, a massive battle erupted between them. After all, the living and dead could never tolerate each other. The death spirits knew their target was He Tu, but they still couldn't resist attacking the living beings nearby. Once they were far enough from the Daofuses, their instincts had taken over yet again.

Even further away, Great Qin King was in the middle of fleeing toward the Divine Realm. Noticing where he was going, the newly arrived divine experts panicked and gave chase as well.

To the west, Great Zhou King and the others were also fighting an intense battle.

With Soy Bun borrowing Culture King's power, he was able to gain an upper hand against Tiangu and the others after joining hands with Great Zhou King. The battle grew more and more intense.

Meanwhile, the book spirit and tea plant were having a relatively easy time. They were facing injured Daofuses, but they had also exhausted quite a lot of strength in their prior fight. Thus, they weren't able to rapidly defeat the two Daofuses.

***

Su Yu observed everything in silence.

This battle would not end before some fear was beaten into these enemies.

Fat Ball's blood essence would be decisive. If it wasn't powerful enough, this battle would drag on for much longer. If it were powerful enough, he would have a chance to secure a decisive victory.

As he continued his advancement, more golden clouds appeared. And as the death spirit continued wreaking havoc in the world of the living, the tribulation grew in strength. The two continued clashing, providing him with more power.

After some time, Su Yu reached saturation in power absorbed. He focused on the three drops of blood essence in his sea of willpower. Fat Ball's blood essence. All three were floating near the golden book.

He was unsure if he was already strong enough to withstand their power. He also wasn't sure just how powerful they were.

Well, he had to try to know.

One of the three landed on the golden book. Instantly, the book shook.

Some words appeared on it.

"Fat Ball...my puppy, cultivates the dao of dogs..."

Su Yu blanked out.

What the fuck was that?

For the very first time, he found that the Time Sage was perhaps a rather flippant person. All her records of the other races sounded rather formal and serious, but why was her record of Fat Ball...so casual? Unlike the blood essence of the other races, Fat Ball's blood essence could be utilized directly without opening a new page.

The dao of dogs?

Screw this!

What was that?

Just what in the world was the dao of dogs?

Su Yu did not know. There was no need to know anymore. Right at that moment, a burst of power flooded his body, nearly shattering his bones in the process.

His sea of willpower roiled madly.

His newly advanced sea of willpower looked as though it was on the verge of bursting apart.

Cracks started appearing on the surface of Su Yu's body.

At the same time, he started bleeding from his seven orifices. He felt as though he would die soon.

This shouldn't be possible!

How could his body fail to withstand Fat Ball's power when his body was already this strong?

Just how powerful was Fat Ball?

And then, a voice rang out in his head.

"The dao of dogs. To bite everything apart."

"..."

Bite everything apart?

No! He was no dog! There was no way he was going to bite anything!

Suddenly, Su Yu blanked out. The world before him seemed to have changed completely. He saw a world enveloped in nets.

A line could be seen running out of each Invincible's head, reaching directly to the sky above.

That was also the case for the Daofuses, but their lines were much thicker.

Laws? Great dao?

Su Yu shook.

So these were Eternals and Daofuses in Fat Ball's eyes. Each of them was connected to a different law. As for Fat Ball, his special ability involved biting these daos apart...no, it would be more accurate to say that his special ability involved biting the connection apart.

At the same time, Su Yu felt like his body was on the verge of bursting apart. He didn't have the luxury to contemplate this matter. For now, he only needed to focus on severing the connection between his enemies and their great daos before killing them.

Fat Ball's blood essence was too powerful. And as of this moment, it was as though Su Yu had turned into Fat Ball himself.

After looking around, Su Yu flew toward the female furball. He had been finding the Dragon Pseudo Emperor an eyesore for quite a while. Since he had promised to kill the damn dragon today, he would do it.

"Worm, face me!"

With a roar, Su Yu dashed forward. Alas, he couldn't control his strength well and went too far, only stopping behind the dragon. When the dragon saw him, the dragon nearly laughed with joy.

Was Su Yu here to die? Why did he move beyond the wall of Daofuses protecting him? Prior to this, the female furball and the other Daofuses had been intentionally positioning themselves in a way that would block every other Daofuse from reaching him.

But now...Su Yu had done something stupid.

As Su Yu had just consumed Fat Ball's blood essence and the power of laws from the heavenly rewards and tribulations, his aura was in chaos. Thus, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor was unable to sense his current strength. Yes, his crisis sense was warning him, but he ignored the warning as well. In a battlefield with so many Daofuses, it was normal for his crisis sense to be triggered repeatedly.

In his joy, he shouted, "Spirit, ape, stop her for a moment!"

This was his best opportunity to kill Su Yu and end the war. As for Su Yu, he was feeling slightly light-headed. He had overshot himself due to his poor control over Fat Ball's power. Fortunately, he had not overshot by much.

When he saw the Dragon Pseudo Emperor moving toward him, he was overjoyed. Well done! He rushed forth to meet the Dragon Pseudo Emperor.

Noticing that Su Yu was rushing toward him instead of fleeing, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor was surprised. A tiny bit of worry sprouted within his mind. What was this?

Had Su Yu...gone mad?

Why wasn't he running?

The Dragon Pseudo Emperor couldn't help but worry. This was too unusual. So unusual that it was worrying.

Right at that moment, a massive dao appeared in Su Yu's vision.

It was shaped like a dragon.

That was the dao the Dragon Pseudo Emperor had fused with. From the shape of the dao, it clearly had great compatibility with the Dragon Pseudo Emperor's dao. Evidently, this was a dao established by a past dragon expert. Perhaps it used to belong to the ancient Dragon Pseudo Emperor.

But when Su Yu looked at the dao...he felt as though it had been bitten before. Was it...bitten by Fat Ball before?

Well, he did not have the luxury to think too much.

Instantly, the two reached each other.

After transforming the Culture Tomb into a saber, Su Yu swung it forward. At the same time, a burst of unique power erupted from Su Yu's body. Above him, the projection of a howling dog appeared.

The dog bit down on the dragon-shaped dao.

Up in the sky, a dragon and a dog clashed.

Crack!

"Roar!"

A deafening dragon's roar rang out in the sky.

The dao had been harmed. At the same time, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor coughed a mouthful of blood. He was greatly alarmed. What was going on? He was not alone. The various Daofuses looked over in astonishment. What was that?

Up in the sky, the dog howled before biting down at the dragon again. With one bite, the dragon was severed.

The dao of biting.

That was Fat Ball's dao, according to the Time Sage.

Instantly, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor started coughing blood unendingly while his aura dropped. Nobody could believe what was happening.

"Impossible...no...this is not possible...you...what are you?"

Boom!

Finally, Su Yu's saber arrived. He was using the Sky Sundering Saber.

A blinding saber illuminated the world.

The sky itself split open in its path.

All around the blade, space itself was rendered into nothingness. As of that moment, that blade was the sole thing in existence. Nothing else mattered. Far away, Great Xia King was blanking out while staring at the blade. Wasn't that his Sky Sundering Saber? Why...did the kid's Sky Sundering Saber seem even stronger than his?

And finally, the blade arrived, cleaving the gigantic dragon into two.

Up in the sky, the dog was still fiercely biting the dao.

Very few people could see that.

Only a small number of people understood that the Dragon Pseudo Emperor's dao had been bitten apart. Even the great dao the Dragon Pseudo Emperor had fused with was being bitten as well. The great dao trembled violently in resistance, but the dog refused to let go.

That was a true great dao. A law existing alongside the natural world.

Only after a long while did the great dao manage to shake the dog off. Right after shaking the dog off, the great dao hurriedly vanished.

Su Yu was unbothered.

A great dao was not something he could lay hands on.

The Dragon Pseudo Emperor might have been cut in two, but he was not dead. At the moment, he was wailing mournfully, "No! Impossible! Su Yu! Who are you? You're not Su Yu! Are you Culture King reincarnated? Are you Culture King reborn? No, that is not possible! How can my dao be broken?"

This was not a result he could accept. He had fallen from the Daofuse Realm. Furthermore, he couldn't even regrow his body after being cut into two by Su Yu. This shouldn't be happening!

"Worm, I told you I'll kill you with my own hands."

With a snort, Su Yu swung his blade again. Once again, the Sky Sundering Blade showed itself. The Dragon Pseudo Emperor hurriedly fled in panic. This wasn't a result he could accept, but he was smart enough to see the trouble he was in.

"No! Su Yu! Don't kill me! You're Culture King! I bow! I bow to you!"

"Culture your mother!"

He was Su Yu!

The blade landed, reducing the dragon's head into mincemeat.

Next, the Mark of Civilization appeared and collected the Dragon Pseudo Emperor's corpse.

Boom!

A massive rumble resounded throughout the Myriad Realms.

The Dragon Pseudo Emperor had fallen.

"Emperor—"

Some of the dragon Invincibles blanked out in shock, but the guardians they were fighting weren't blanking out. With a swing of his staff, Heavendoom turned a dragon into mincemeat.

Not far away, a golden dragon was cut in two by Grandstar.

Even further away, Great Xia King released his version of Sky Sundering Saber toward a white dragon, seemingly trying to compete against Su Yu's Sky Sundering Saber.

The situation had changed massively before anyone could react.

All the dragons started fleeing while roaring in fear.

"Withdraw!"

"Return to the Dragon Realm! Preserve our strength!"

"Our Emperor has fallen!"

The entire Dragon Realm was shaking. Moments later, several dragons so old they were more like bags of bones than dragons emerged from the forbidden zone of the Dragon Realm. One of them roared, "Seal the realm! Do it now!"

"Ancestor, a lot of ancestors are still out there..."

The dragons stared at the collapsing sky in fear.

"Seal the realm!"

A celestial dragon old enough that death qi was leaking out of his body ordered with a gasp, "Ignore everything else! Seal the realm! Now!"

With that order, several dragon Invincibles at the realm entrance transformed into statues with fear and indignation.

While coughing, the old celestial dragon said, "Do not unseal the realm before the thousand-year limit is up! Do not unseal the realm before another dragon Daofuse appears! I hereby offer my body to serve as the wall of the realm!"

With a roar, the celestial dragon transformed into a wall, completely sealing the realm entrance.

Boom!

Crimson rain started falling from the sky. Several dragon Invincibles had sacrificed themselves to seal their realm. All the dragon Invincibles still outside the realm had been abandoned. Those dragons would either survive with their own abilities or die.

They knew they were in trouble the moment their Pseudo Emperor died. They could smell the threat of extinction approaching their race.

***

For a moment, it felt as though the entire Myriad Realms were engulfed in silence.

Everyone was staring at Su Yu in shock. Far away, the pale Heavenly Overseer Marquis muttered, "I...saw that dog..."

Tiangu asked solemnly, "What dog are you talking about?"

He was clueless.

Nearby, Soy Bun was blinking in confusion. That dog...looked familiar. How did Su Yu do this?

"Culture King's...direct line..."

The Heavenly Overseer Marquis continued muttering, but it was unknown if he was talking about Su Yu or Fat Ball.

He had never been so afraid before.

Was Culture King dead or not?

Three Daofuses had died so far.

Everything seemed to have changed.
