Chapter 313: Breakthrough, Mid-Half-Month Stage! Su Yu Returns

In the pitch-black space.

Su Yu walked aimlessly.

Just like that, he kept walking, and Su Yu no longer knew how long he had walked.

But the distance to that black throne remained endless.

The river of time flowed swiftly beneath Su Yu's feet.

Su Yu no longer knew how much time had passed, and even his whole body had become numb from walking.

Now, Su Yu had only one thought: to reach the end.

Just like that... he kept walking.

On the Inheritance Path.

Ye Xiu gazed at the meditating Su Yu, and before Ye Xiu there was a huge light screen.

Projected within the light screen was indeed the scene from the dark space.

Watching Su Yu keep walking, a hint of anticipation appeared on Ye Xiu's face.

"When I first ascended the throne, I walked for three years before realizing I was wrong—I don't know how long you will need."

Ye Xiu murmured, his gaze involuntarily falling on the Chaos Grind Disc above Su Yu's head.

"This guy, where exactly did he obtain the divine soul cultivation method from the Heaven Beyond Heaven?"

"Could it be that in this era, one can already make contact with the Heaven Beyond Heaven?"

Ye Xiu expressed his doubts repeatedly.

Soon, Ye Xiu suppressed those doubts and focused his attention on the light screen before him.

In the pitch-black space, Su Yu continued walking without fatigue.

Even now, Su Yu could barely feel sensation in his legs.

Gradually, Su Yu began to slow his steps.

Not long after, Su Yu came to a stop.

He gazed at the distant throne, and a flicker of contemplation passed through his weary eyes.

I don't know how long I've walked, but the throne still feels infinitely far away, as if I've been treading in place all along.

There are only a few possible explanations.

One, the distance between me and the throne is truly too great.

So far that even with the strength of eighteen stars, I walked for two whole months without reaching it.

Second...

is that I have been walking in place from beginning to end.

And third...

is that the throne before me is merely an illusion.

Su Yu stopped moving and even sat directly on the ground.

He narrowed his eyes and activated the Chaos Grind Disc Technique.

Above his head, the disc kept turning.

One turn!

Ten turns!

One hundred turns!

Two hundred turns!

Three hundred turns!

Four hundred turns!

Upon reaching four hundred turns, Su Yu felt the divine soul power in his mind erupt suddenly, like a reservoir opening its gates.

It spread throughout his surroundings.

With a boom, Su Yu rose to his feet and gazed faintly at the throne ahead.

"This... is not my Dao!"

A resonant, powerful voice echoed in the empty, pitch-black space.

As if announcing something.

Immediately, the throne before him shattered instantly.

Su Yu could even hear the sound, like a mirror shattering.

Along with the scene before him, it vanished in an instant.

Su Yu narrowed his eyes, sensing everything around him.

Ye Xiu's voice rang in Su Yu's ears.

"Congratulations, you have passed the trial!"

Su Yu looked toward the direction from which the voice came, not realizing when he had already returned to the Inheritance Path.

Su Yu looked at Ye Xiu with doubt.

Ye Xiu gave a slight smile.

"Everything just now was merely my trial; when I first set foot on this path, my father the emperor also tested me in this way, and it took me three full years to recover my original heart from the trial."

"The throne's temptation is great—just sit upon it and you can ascend in a single step to achieve the Imperial Realm—but that is ultimately nothing more than a mirage."

"True strength comes from step-by-step cultivation, not from dreaming of ascending in one leap."

"Since you have passed my trial, it shows your resolve is steadfast, and I can now entrust the inheritance to you with peace of mind."

Ye Xiu's face broke into a smile.

Immediately after, Ye Xiu stretched out his slender fingers and lightly tapped Su Yu's forehead.

Instantly, rippling waves spread across Su Yu's forehead.

Su Yu merely felt as if a surging force surged into his body.

Behind him, eighteen stars spontaneously appeared, shining upon the heavens.

Within his body, the surging energy continuously spread, suffusing Su Yu's limbs.

Su Yu hurriedly circulated the God-Demon Heart Technique, drawing that vigorous energy within his body into his dantian.

Upon the ocean formed by Grandmaster's Power, the eighteen stars shone silently.

The brilliant starlight seemed to become the protagonist of the heavenly canopy.

The entire heavenly canopy was filled with starlight.

Endless energy surged into Su Yu's dantian, transforming into surging Grandmaster's Power.

Following the circulation path of the God-Demon Heart Technique, Su Yu began to gather those Grandmaster's Powers.

The eighteen stars had already reached the limit of the Ultimate Dao; to go further, there was only one way.

Break through the Bright Moon Realm!

Just thinking about it, Su Yu's heart couldn't help but become excited.

Once he broke through the Bright Moon Realm, his strength would surely become even more terrifying; adding his trump cards, he would have a fighting chance against even a Half Moon Late Stage expert.

Su Yu hurriedly activated the Grandmaster's Power in his dantian, which instantly surged into the heavenly canopy above.

The eighteen stars, under the sweep of Grandmaster's Power, remained unmoved.

As if they had taken root upon the heavenly canopy.

Su Yu clearly understood that to break through the Bright Moon, he needed to summon the moon.

As for how to summon the moon, he needed to give the moon a certain position.

The eighteen stars occupied the position of the heavenly canopy, leaving no room for the moon; thus, what Su Yu must do now is to completely destroy the eighteen stars.

Thus summoning the moon.

The Transcendent Realm is originally a realm that cannot be established without being broken.

Including when Su Yu broke through from the Flying Heaven Realm to the Bright Moon Realm, he likewise shattered the Arhat Golden Body, thereby breaking through to the Star Realm.

Now, he merely repeats that method once again.

Su Yu endured, beginning to shake the stars upon the heavenly canopy.

With the passage of time, more and more Grandmaster's Power flowed into the ocean, forming powerful water columns that shook the stars upon the heavenly canopy.

Soon, the first star fell into the sea.

It transformed into even more magnificent Grandmaster's Power.

With the first, came the second, the third....

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yu finally knocked down all the stars upon the heavenly canopy, which then turned back into a pitch-black expanse.

But at the same time, space gradually increased.

Su Yu smiled faintly, once again enveloping himself with much Grandmaster's Power, surging into the heavenly canopy.

Su Yu wanted to use the simplest method to bring out the moon.

That is....

Directly blast the heavenly canopy!

Boom—!!!

Like ocean waves crashing onto a beach, the boundless Grandmaster's Power frantically slapped against the heavenly canopy.

In repeated strikes, the heavenly canopy shattered with a bang, revealing a crescent moon.

The crescent moon emitted a faint silver light, sprinkling over the ocean as if draping the entire sea with a thin veil of silver.

In an instant, Su Yu felt a strong force surge into his limbs.

Gradually, the crescent moon's shape began to become perfect, as endless power flowed into it.

In merely a moment, the crescent moon directly turned into a half moon!

Su Yu's heart gave a slight start.

This... signified that Su Yu had indeed entered the Half Moon Realm.

Although he had long anticipated that breaking through the Bright Moon Grand Master would involve a cross-realm breakthrough, he never expected it to be so easy.

Moreover, it wasn't over yet.

The surging power continuously flowed into the half moon until all of the Grandmaster's Power had poured into it, only then barely stopping.

Su Yu felt the surging waves transmitted from within his body, as strong power filled his limbs and bones.

"This is... Half Moon Late Stage!"

Su Yu's eyes lit up.

He hadn't expected that, having just broken through, he had already reached the Half Moon Late Stage.

If he were given some more time, wouldn't he be able to break through to the Full Moon?

Thinking of this, Su Yu's heart felt a little secret joy.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing past.

He gave a slight bow to Ye Xiu.

"Thank you, Principal, for the inheritance!"

Ye Xiu said lightly.

"That is not my inheritance, merely the energy attached to the inheritance. My inheritance only appears when you attain the rank of King and are about to break through to the Imperial Realm."

"Before you break through to the Imperial Realm, my inheritance can help you withstand three life-and-death crises; as long as your opponent does not exceed my prime, it will keep you safe."

Upon hearing Ye Xiu's words, Su Yu's heart leapt with joy.

Surpass Ye Xiu?

I'm afraid no one in the entire Myriad Races Continent can manage that now.

Ye Xiu's method undoubtedly gave Su Yu the chance of three lives.

Such a precious trump card is truly heaven-defying.

"Alright, you have also obtained my inheritance; it's time for you to leave."

Ye Xiu waved his hand, and instantly a powerful force dragged Su Yu's entire body, flying him out of the Inheritance Path.

But at that moment, not far away, a stooped old man burst into laughter.

"Great Wei Emperor, although you have suppressed me, my inheritance will not decline because of it; I have taken a liking to this boy!"

In an instant, a stream of light entered Su Yu's mind.

Before Su Yu could examine it, he had already vanished within the Inheritance Path.

Ye Xiu glanced coldly at the arrogant old man and let out a cold snort.

"Your inheritance isn't even worthy to carry his shoes!"

The old man laughed arrogantly: "I'm glad to, anyway I'm already dead; if you have the ability, revive me and kill me again!"

Ye Xiu's face darkened slightly; he waved his hand and instantly obliterated the old man's divine soul.

This time, it was truly completely obliterated.

The old man's mark utterly dissipated between heaven and earth.

After doing all that, Ye Xiu quietly returned to the previously parched land and sat there in meditation.

Atop the mountain peak, Su Yu suddenly returned.

The moment Su Yu opened his eyes, a storm swept out directly across the mountain peak.
