Chapter 1957: Escape (1)

Inside Human Emperor's dao.

Su Yu had arrived after tearing a rift in space. Just as he was about to head toward the waterfall to hide away, his expression changed.

A powerful aura appeared ahead of him. Someone had arrived somewhere ahead of him, blocking the way to the waterfall. Clearly, one of the super experts was here.

Su Yu frowned slightly. He did not panic. This opponent might be powerful, but this was still not a Master of Law. Now that they were inside the river, he couldn't be killed so easily, even if he was weaker than this super expert.

"The current strongest being in existence? I don't even fear Martial Emperor. Why should I fear you?"

Su Yu snorted. He was no longer the same kid who would look at mere Eternals with admiration. After experiencing so many things and growing significantly, he was no longer fearful of such opponents.

"Blocking my path forward?"

Su Yu snorted again. Sure. Let's play. He turned around and moved upstream instead. As he moved, he calmed the way ahead with his little stone. Behind him, the powerful aura started approaching.

A voice spread out.

"You won't be able to escape!"

It rang out in the minds of countless people. At the same time, the image of a purple-haired expert appeared in their minds.

An incredibly powerful expert. Most of them knew who this person was. Venerable Scrape.

Venerable. This was a title.

Nevertheless, a venerable was still a Daomeld. However, someone who was near the level of a Master of Law would be given this title.

Or to be precise, those who were stuck due to the limitations of the era would be given this title. These were individuals capable of becoming Masters of Laws if they had reached this level during the ancient past.

After a hundred thousand years, some experts had indeed reached such a level. Hundred Battle King was one. Venerable Scrape was one as well. Even Bing Ku, the dead human, was one.

Before the various experts could recover from their shock, the black-robed Su Yu replied, "Damn you! My lineage is incomparably noble! We have countless powerhouses! You are courting disaster!"

Blind confidence?

No!

This was pride.

Pride originating from his very being.

Noble.

The natural pride of someone from a noble lineage.

When the image of the black-robed individual appeared in the minds of the various experts, they had the impression that he might be weaker, but he was definitely the nobler existence.

Inside Human Emperor's dao.

Venerable Scrape's expression changed slightly, but soon, he regained his calm as he said, "Looks like I have encountered a big fish. Clearly, you're quite important."

One's status could be mostly observed from one's presence. And the person fleeing ahead of him was someone with an extraordinary presence. It was likely that this was someone important among the chaos race.

Strength was something one could slowly gain, but presence and bearing were things that could only change through experience and status. Thus, Venerable Scrape deduced that he had encountered a big fish.

Ahead, Su Yu's cold voice rang out, "Say that after capturing me. Old Fart, you sound quite confident. But the world still belongs to humanity. Dao Origin Land belongs to humanity as well. Do not forget yourself here."

Humanity.

Su Yu was deliberately mentioning that.

Behind, Venerable Scrape was moving rapidly. Not even the violent waves of the river could slow him down.

"Humanity? Can your people still be considered humans?"

Venerable Scrape did not mind gathering some information before capturing this person. And Su Yu was naturally glad to share some information.

He sneered and said, "Why not? Humanity has the legitimacy from the ancient past. And why can't my lineage be considered humans? Are we not humans just because we have returned to the embrace of chaos? Chaos is the beginning of everything. Humanity has the legitimacy to rule. We are the descendants of conquerors. As chaos humans, we are naturally the most noble of all. How dare a dog like you question my nobility?"

Venerable Scrape processed the information he was receiving. Was this the origin of the so-called chaos race? Humanity who had returned to the embrace of the chaos?

Chaos, the original dao. Humanity, the legitimate rulers since the ancient past, also the descendants of conquerers. Their arrogance was justified. They were proud. They believed in their supremacy over everyone else. It was no wonder that this person was showing no fear even now. That pride etched in his very soul would not allow him to feel fear.

A terrifying race.

That was Venerable Scrape's conclusion.

As a fresh pseudo king, this black-robed man was remaining completely calm when facing a peak pseudo king like him. This wasn't something just anyone was capable of. At that thought, Venerable Scrape increased his speed. The more dangerous these people were, the more he wanted to capture the person ahead of him.

And if capturing were not possible, he would go for the kill. He could not allow these black-robed figures to escape. That would shatter the reputation of the myriad races.

Hundred Battle King had broken free. The chaos humans had killed eight pseudo kings. The entire Upper Realm had been alarmed. If he couldn't kill them here, the various minor races would no longer have the courage to work with the major races.

The war against the Chaos Mountain must start.

Too terrifying.

The dragons had lost a pseudo king. And now, eight more pseudo kings had died. In a short time, nine pseudo kings and seven Daofuses had died. There were a lot of experts among the myriad races, but this was still more loss than they could tolerate. They had to do something about this.

Before the war against the Chaos Mountain, they had to learn more about that place. Clearly, these attackers were the best people to provide them with more information about that place. Furthermore, the person ahead of him was clearly a core figure of this chaos race. He would most certainly know a lot of important secrets.

For example, how many Daofuses did they have?

How many pseudo kings did they have?

Were there Venerables among them?

Venerable Scrape was already planning for the future attack against the Chaos Mountain. He was certain that the cost to eliminate this faction wouldn't be low. All the slumbering or secluded experts would need to emerge. Peace would not come to the myriad races before this faction was eliminated.

***

Thanks to the little stone, Su Yu was able to move even faster than Venerable Scrape. It wouldn't be easy for this pursuer to catch up. After all, this was his home ground.

Nevertheless, Su Yu had to be careful not to get into combat with this opponent. He would not be a match, and it would also risk exposing his actual identity. That would ruin all his hard work so far.

Ruthlessness gleamed in Su Yu's eyes.

He spoke to those inside the Mark of Civilization, "Get ready to fight the moment you're out."

Everyone was alarmed. Were they going to fight the pursuer as well? This opponent was too powerful.

That was a Venerable. A true peak pseudo king. Strictly speaking, that was someone at the same level as Hundred Battle King. Hundred Battle King was only slightly stronger than him due to the sheer prowess of his physical body dao.

Were they really fighting such an opponent? Just then, Su Yu ripped a rift open beside him. There, a tributary could be seen. The moment he appeared, he saw a Daofuse, who was busy looking in the direction of the Sealed Mountain. At the same time, the expression of the Daofuse changed drastically.

Su Yu sent a palm attack out while suppressing the Daofuse with the little stone. Instantly, the dao of the Daofuse grew unstable. The Mark of Civilization flipped open, releasing Lan Tian and the others. All of them attacked madly.

Boom!

With a rumble, the Daofuse was blasted apart. Then, the Mark of Civilization swept forth and devoured everything. Finally, Su Yu stepped back into the river and resumed his escape. Venerable Scrape was just about to tear a rift and exit the river. But before he could do so, his target had returned.

However, something felt off. Yet another burst of dao power was spreading outside the river. The entire Dao Origin Land was thrown into chaos.

The voice of a furious super expert rang out, "Daofuses, gather up! Watch out for the river! The criminals are conducting mass slaughter!"

Lunatics.

They were still killing even when they were being pursued by Venerable Scrape. No wonder they were capable of killing so many pseudo kings. They were too ferocious.

That was the tenth Daofuse to die today.

***

Inside the River of Time.

Inside the Mark of Civilization, Stable Army Marquis and the others were gasping in shock. How crazy! Su Yu was still killing people even when he was being pursued by a peak pseudo king.

What a lunatic!

But that...felt incredible!

It was crazy, yet it felt great.

They had been dreaming of doing something like this for a long time, but they lacked the ability to do so. And now, they were doing that under Su Yu's leadership.

Suddenly, Su Yu ripped another rift in space.

Once again, a Daofuse appeared before them. Noticing the rift, the expression of the Daofuse changed as he yelled in panic, "Save me, Venerable!"

The Dao Origin Land was thrown into even more chaos. The various experts started fleeing in Sealed Mountain's direction. A terrifying being was moving through the river while committing mass slaughter. Clearly, Venerable Scrape had yet to catch up with that being.

Boom!

That Daofuse could only roar once before he was reduced into fine powder by Su Yu and the others.

Su Yu's voice rang out, "How dare inferior races like you offend someone noble like me? All of you will pay with your lives!"

His voice spread throughout the Dao Origin Land.

Hundred Battle King, who was busy fighting the various experts around him, heard that and roared with laughter, "Truly arrogant! How can a bitch like Yue Lue get a subordinate like you? She is unworthy! Follow me and I'll bestow upon you—"

Su Yu left without waiting for the fool to finish.

What nonsense.

After returning to the river, Su Yu glanced around before moving upstream again. Moments later, a figure appeared in his previous spot. Yet another Venerable had arrived.

The eyes of the newly arrived Venerable gleamed as he muttered, "Detecting Daofuses through the river. Is it possible that...this is someone with the Heaven Gate open?"

That was the only explanation. But that wasn't possible. That should not be possible after the end of the ancient past. Yet the Heaven Gate was the only explanation for what that person was doing.

"Chaos race...and a super genius with a Heaven Gate."

The second Venerable was greatly shocked. Just then, Venerable Scrape arrived. He said, "Venerable Moon..."

Venerable Moon said, "Sealing here is too difficult. The waves here are too violent. There must be a reason for this person to be so fearless in the river. He might be someone with the Heaven Gate open. Continue the pursuit. I'll try to intercept him from the Dao Origin Land. The next time he emerges, I'll stop him from the outside while you go after him from the inside."

"Okay."

Venerable Scrape nodded. That seemed feasible.

A pincer attack.

𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Someone who had opened the Heaven Gate? His heart thumped as he considered that possibility. If that was the case, this must be a truly important member of the chaos race.

"The waves ahead are strong enough that even someone like me can hardly advance further. He will be trapped soon."

At that, Venerable Moon nodded before exiting the river.
