Chapter 1733: Entering The Luminous Domain Mansion Again (3)

He Tu blanked out.

Holy shit!

How was Su Yu more familiar with this place than him? Behind them, East Heavenly King approached rapidly. As the whirlpool was shut, they started bombarding it. Due to their strength, cracks instantly appeared on the shut whirlpool.

Ignoring the bombardment behind him, Su Yu rushed toward Old Zhou's mouth. That was the most ferocious place on the first level.

In Su Yu's previous test, that gigantic mouth was powerful enough to shatter even space with a single bite.

The curious He Tu asked, "I thought you were never there before. How did you know the method to open the entrance?"

Su Yu did not bother to reply. He was familiar with this place. Even including the locations he had never been to. Only a fool would open the entrance forcefully. This place was clearly built for humans, not the death spirits or the myriad races. It was only natural for them to not have a way of opening it properly.

Su Yu remained calm. Up until now, everything was progressing smoothly. The only variable that could change everything was Old Zhou. At this point, Old Zhou's ramblings were starting to fade away. Clearly, the provocation wasn't enough to fully awaken Old Zhou. He had only gone mad for a short while.

And finally, East Heavenly King's group emerged behind them with a rumble. The entrance that had taken He Tu and Xia Chen a long time to force open had been instantly blasted open by the powerful heavenly king and marquises.

Ignoring the approaching enemies, Su Yu sent a voice transmission to the guardians, "When you see someone dying, focus on them! You need to seize the last hit! Remember! Steal the kill! Pay close attention on that injured marquis! By killing him, you will stand a chance to become a Daofuse! Heavendoom, you are the nearest to Daofuse! You have the priority here!"

Meanwhile, Heavendoom was blanking out in confusion. Up until now, they had only fought once before fleeing. Could they really kill the marquis? Could he really achieve Daofuse by killing that marquis?

Was this real? He was unsure. But he knew he couldn't go wrong listening to Su Yu. After all, Su Yu was an expert in snatching even the tiniest bit of opportunity in front of him. Even as the former residents of the mansion, they were still quite unfamiliar with the mansion. Since Su Yu was so confident, they might as well follow his words.

Before they knew it, the familiar valley appeared before them.

Old Zhou's mouth!

The hills on the two sides of the valley were Old Zhou's teeth, even if they looked nothing like teeth. Su Yu still remembered the spot where the two rows of teeth would meet.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the spot. Behind him, East Heavenly King's group was approaching rapidly. At the same time, East Heavenly King was looking around doubtfully. Just where was this?

Suddenly, a marquis exclaimed in excitement, "This is the Luminous Domain Mansion! We entered through a different entrance, not Devote King's entrance!"

Luminous Domain Mansion!

East Heavenly King was surprised. Was this the legendary Luminous Domain Mansion? But it was supposed to be shut, right?

Nevertheless, he was growing excited as well. Su Yu...actually had a way to enter! Since he could enter, he definitely knew how to leave as well! In that case, there must be a way for them to enter the Allheaven Battlefield through the mansion! Even if that wasn't possible, it didn't matter. It was said that there were countless opportunities waiting to be grabbed in the Luminous Domain Mansion!

But for some reason, he was feeling slightly uneasy. This might not necessarily be a safe place. He started scanning his surroundings warily, but he found no living being. They were the only ones around. Perhaps something dangerous was waiting on a higher level?

In front of them, Su Yu turned around and coldly said, "What a surprise. I did not expect this. I'm warning you. Stop following me. This place is guarded by numerous living human marquises! East Heavenly King, we can both mind our own business. There is no need for us to keep fighting. Don't force my hand or you'll regret it!"

"Human marquises?"

East Heavenly King laughed. Was this a joke? If there were really human marquises here, they would have appeared long ago. Did Su Yu think that he knew nothing about the previous nine epochs?

Would all death spirits be ignorant of the happenings of the world? How ridiculous. This new human lord was too simple-minded!

Su Yu ignored the laughter and looked around gloomily. Suddenly, he said, "We went past the second level entrance."

At that, a marquis exclaimed in joy, "Heavenly King, the second level entrance is not ahead of us! It's behind us!"

When East Heavenly King looked behind them, he saw a tiny dot of light. Sure enough, there was a whirlpool there. That was the entrance to the second level! He felt like laughing again! Su Yu was in so much panic that he had missed the entrance!

Meanwhile, Marquis Lanshan was alarmed. She had to try really hard to not start cursing. Was this human lord a fool? As someone who was here before, how did the human lord miss the entrance? What a fool! Was this really the human lord?

They were currently at the mouth, while the entrance to the next level was at the brows. They had overshot by quite a lot.

With a gloomy look, Su Yu started fleeing again.

As for East Heavenly King's group, they were overjoyed. What a pleasant surprise. What a performance by the new human lord!

East Heavenly King shouted, "Don't give them the chance to flee!"

He did not believe that there were a bunch of human marquises waiting for them on a higher level, but he wouldn't say no to killing Su Yu earlier. Why should they take the risk and go higher?

Even if they wanted to take risks, they should first handle these people. And thus, the marquises shot forward before reaching Su Yu's previous spot. Su Yu had picked his escape path carefully to ensure that they would end up there during the pursuit.

Right at that moment, Su Yu said, "Tai Shan, Tai Shan, Tai Shan. Martial Emperor, Tai Shan is here for you..."

"Damn it!"

"I will kill you!"

Boom!

It was as though the sky itself was falling upon them.

A boundless fury engulfed the first level. The landscape itself changed, looking as though Old Zhou was frowning. Then, the mouth shut. Old Zhou was gnashing his teeth in fury.

He must kill the damn bug!

The damn bug was provoking him repeatedly!

After finally falling asleep again, the damn bug had returned to bother him! He still remembered what he saw on the seventh level when he woke up previously. That was a sight that had angered him greatly. It hadn't been easy for him to calm down from that anger, but the damn bug was here again!

Crack!

Space itself shattered as he gnashed his teeth furiously.

Two of the marquises were bitten before they could even react. Instantly, they were bitten apart. Their dao bodies crumbled instantly.

Old Zhou was too terrifyingly strong.

"Little Bug! I'll kill you!"

Old Zhou's furious roar rang out in Su Yu's sea of willpower. He hurriedly activated his human lord's token and said, "I am the human lord! If you still consider yourself a human, obey me!"

"Obey your mother! You're dead! You're dead, Little Bug!"

Holy shit!

That didn't work! Wasn't Old Zhou a human? Shouldn't a human show at least a tiny bit of respect toward the human lord?

Just as East Heavenly King and the others were retreating in panic, Su Yu tossed Heavendoom over.

With a roar, Heavendoom transformed into a gigantic ape, brought his fists together, and slammed them onto one of the marquises that had been beaten into two.

Boom!

After unsealing himself, Heavendoom was incredibly powerful as well. Even without his staff, he was still stronger than regular ninth-degree Eternals. Thus, he was still quite confident in killing two heavily injured marquises.

With a rumble, the half-body was blasted apart.

Then, a large amount of power of laws descended from the sky. The power of laws was heading toward Heavendoom. With another roar, Heavendoom grabbed the half-body of the other marquis and tossed it toward Grandstar.

Grandstar, Empyrean Cloud, and Su Yu attacked together. Instantly, that half-body was blasted apart.

Even more power of laws descended from the sky before splitting into three. Su Yu did not bother to accept such a low amount of power. Instead, he pushed his portion into Marquis Lanshan's body.

Then, he vanished with a flicker. Right after he left, East Heavenly King's palm attack struck his previous spot, shattering the space there. And thus, they all started fleeing while absorbing the power of laws converging around their bodies.

East Heavenly King had an unsightly expression.

Dead?

He had lost two subordinates before he could even react! How did he lose two marquises? What happened? He looked at the mouth with fear. What exactly was that? That thing...seemed to be teeth. Two marquises had been bitten apart just like that. Even their dao bodies were not spared.

Meanwhile, Old Zhou's voice continued ringing in Su Yu's mind.

Old Zhou's furious voice.

"Damn you, Little Bug! How dare you make me eat those disgusting bugs? You're dead! Dead!"

Yes. He could feel that he had just bitten into something disgusting. He felt like he had just bitten into a pile of shit! That further stoked his anger! How dare this bug humiliate him so? That was too disgusting!

Yes. In his eyes, death spirits were basically shit.

Meanwhile, Su Yu's expression was changing repeatedly. Old Zhou seemed to be getting more and more clear-headed. In the past, he would fade away after raging for a short moment. But now, he was clear-headed enough to scold him in complete sentences.

How troublesome.

He wasn't happy even after killing two marquises. It was likely that Old Zhou would awaken soon. And East Heavenly King was still fine. Even after killing two marquises, they still wouldn't be a match for the group since East Heavenly King was still around.

And since they still weren't a match, Su Yu would be forced to call for Old Zhou's help again. That would further anger Old Zhou. That would wake up Old Zhou again. Su Yu had a feeling that waking up Old Zhou more would be very dangerous for him.

Far away, Heavendoom was roaring in excitement.

As a torrent of power poured into his body, causing the power of his dao to shake, he howled with laughter, "I can feel an advancement! Hahaha! A hundred thousand years! It's finally happening!"

He was rapt with joy.

Even prior to this, he was already near the Daofuse Realm. Now that he had received a heavenly reward, a staff-shaped dao could be seen above him. His fusion with that dao was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From how special his dao looked, it clearly wasn't a popular dao. While Heavendoom was roaring in excitement, a massive palm appeared behind him.

Boom!

As the palm slammed down upon him, he hurriedly spun around and threw a punch at the palm.

Rumble!

Heavendoom, who was still roaring in excitement moments ago, coughed a mouthful of blood as he was sent crashing into a nearby mountain. With blood dripping down his mouth, he rushed toward Su Yu while shouting, "Take me with you!"

Su Yu had a helpless expression. He had thought that Heavendoom would be able to put up a little bit of fight with his power-up. Alas, that was not the case.

"Tai Shan!"

Once again, the world went mad.

The entire level shook, staggering both Heavendoom and East Heavenly King. Su Yu, however, was prepared. With a flicker, he appeared beside Heavendoom, grabbed Heavendoom, and vanished again.

Instantly, he reached the entrance to the second level and dove into it. Just like that, he was gone from the first level.

Meanwhile, East Heavenly King was looking incomparably gloomy. This time, he was in no rush to give chase. Beside him, the two remaining marquises were looking shocked and fearful.

Two marquises had died all of a sudden. They had no idea what was happening. Marquises had been dying randomly throughout the day.

"Heavenly King..."

East Heavenly King said nothing. Instead, he continued looking around gloomily. What was that? What place was this? Why was he feeling...a slight trace of life from his surroundings? No...no way...this...couldn't be a living person.

He soared higher into the sky and looked down at the entire first level. Instantly, his expression turned incomparably ugly. He muttered to himself, "Luminous Domain Mansion...just what is the Luminous Domain Mansion?"

Finally, he was starting to feel fear. He was looking at a face. A face distorted in anger. Wasn't the Luminous Domain Mansion a treasure trove? Why...did it look so sinister? He looked at the entrance to the second level with a heavy mood. This...was ominous.

Before this, he had nine marquises under him. Each of them was incomparably powerful. But now, only two were left. And one of the two was heavily injured. Damn it! Just what was happening here?

Should he continue the pursuit? But could he still return to the Death Realm without giving chase? He didn't even know how he could return. Was he supposed to wait here?

He was starting to regret this. He solemnly said, "Be careful. This...is a sinister place. Don't die."

The two marquises were looking incomparably solemn as well. Who would want to die for no reason? But why was this damn place so sinister?

East Heavenly King flew toward the entrance and said heavily, "We go."

"Heavenly King...are we...still giving chase?"

"What else can we do? Wait here?" East Heavenly King asked, "Do you know the way out? The tunnel on the seventh level might be our sole option. Are we supposed to wait here and give them the time to lay down a trap for us up there?"

At that, the two uneasy marquises followed East Heavenly King into the entrance.

***

Second level.

Su Yu rushed straight to the third level entrance without any delay. Marquis Lanshan, who was still being carried by him, asked with shock, "What was that?"

"Martial Emperor's mouth."

"What?"

"Nothing."

Su Yu couldn't be bothered to explain. Looking at Heavendoom, who was still coughing blood, he asked, "Did you not advance?"

"Soon!" After wearing down some of the death qi flooding his body, Heavendoom said weakly, "Can you stop finding me such powerful opponents? Holy shit. That guy nearly slapped me to death!"

Su Yu had not expected that as well. He had thought that Heavendoom would be able to handle more than one slap. Alas, Heavendoom was too weak. Sigh. He should have expected this.

After all, Heavendoom had yet to achieve Daofuse. He didn't even have his weapon with him.

"How much longer do you need?"

"Soon. Give me a little bit of time..."

Just then, the auras of Empyrean Cloud and Grandstar surged. The two had reached the ninth-degree Eternal Realm.

Empyrean Cloud said in excitement, "One more! I might be able to achieve Daofuse after killing one more!"

Grandstar hurriedly said, "There are three left. Heavendoom can have East Heavenly King. The rest belong to me and Empyrean Cloud!"

"..."

Fuck you!

That was Heavendoom's thought. Screw that! He didn't want to face that monster!

Su Yu said nothing. After consuming another drop of blood essence, he further accelerated with his group. He wanted to go straight to the seventh level. There, he would unleash Old Zhou and kill them all! At worst, he would take shelter on the eighth level.

***

At the same time.

Eighth level.

The entrance shook slightly before transforming into a humanoid figure. The figure looked around warily.

"Danger detected..."

Then, the entrance vanished.

Since a big trouble was coming, the terrified figure decided to hide away for now.
