Chapter 529: The Slaughter Secret Realm, Too Reckless!

Reached the top!

Using the impact of two forces, Su Yu's figure instantly reached the top of the ninety‑nine‑story pavilion.

"He actually reached the top!"

Below, a strong expert cried out in surprise.

No one had expected Su Yu's sudden ascent to the top.

In their imagination, Su Yu should have fought Zhang Fengnian.

The result was that Zhang Fengnian was directly knocked down ninety levels by Su Yu.

Su Yu, meanwhile, relied on that powerful force to forcefully make himself reach the top.

He became the first among all examinees in this test to reach the top!

Above the void, Yan Ke chuckled and said to the three.

"Ladies and gentlemen, sorry, but the first place in this first round belongs to my Azure Dragon Hall."

Bai Xiaotian and the others' faces turned slightly unsightly.

Especially Bai Xiaotian.

Although Su Yu could reach the top so easily, Zhang Fengnian still contributed a lot of strength.

Without Zhang Fengnian's attack, Su Yu would not have found it so easy to reach the top so effortlessly.

However, what's done is done, and it cannot be changed.

That's all we can do.

Although they were displeased, the outcome was set, and even Bai Xiaotian and company could not change it.

On the pavilion, Hong Luan glanced at Zhang Fengnian, her delicate body trembling like a red sparrow as she walked upward.

Xuan Kai gave Zhang Fengnian a simple smile, activated his robust physical strength, and leapt upward.

Zhang Fengnian's face was extremely grim; he glanced at Su Yu, who had already reached the top, and snorted coldly.

He continued to charge upward.

Behind him, countless heavenly prideful ones were also cheering on as they climbed.

Standing on the solid ground, Su Yu slowly turned around and looked behind.

He saw a massive palace silently situated atop the ninety‑nine‑story pavilion.

It seemed to tower above all beings.

And on that pavilion stood a golden war blade.

Upon the blade lingered an extremely terrifying aura.

When Su Yu looked, that aura instantly swept over him.

This aura was extremely overbearing, closely resembling the Overbearing True Intent that Su Yu had comprehended.

Enveloped by the aura, Su Yu's perception of artistic conception actually increased slightly.

"Little brat, staring at this blade too long isn't a good thing!"

An aged yet extremely gentle voice sounded beside Su Yu's ear.

Su Yu immediately came to his senses.

He looked toward the direction the voice came from.

He saw a gold‑robed elder walking slowly, followed by twelve blade wielders.

Each of them exuded an extremely terrifying fluctuation.

Even more, the gold‑robed elder before him gave Su Yu an endless sense of oppression.

This oppression was not intentionally directed at Su Yu by the elder.

Rather, the elder, having long lingered on battlefields, carried an innate oppression.

Su Yu hastily bowed slightly to the elder.

Su Yu had felt this oppression only on his senior sister before.

Thus it can be seen.

This gold‑robed elder must be a powerful expert of the Venerable Realm.

For such an expert, Su Yu remained relatively respectful.

"Senior!"

Su Yu bowed slightly to the gold‑robed elder.

At this moment, Hong Luan and the others also reached the top one after another.

With their strength, reaching the top was inherently not difficult; it was merely a matter of time.

Even so, climbing from the eighty‑plus levels took them a full incense stick's worth of time.

Su Yu also noticed something amiss.

In Su Yu's view, he had merely glanced at the blade, yet an incense stick's worth of time had passed.

This made Su Yu's heart involuntarily feel a lingering fear.

Had it not been for the elder's reminder, Su Yu might have sunk into the blade's aura.

The elder looked at Su Yu and chuckled, saying, "One who can comprehend the Undying Saint's Overbearing True Intent naturally shares fate with my Blade Execution Hall."

"This war blade can enhance your perception of artistic conception, but your cultivation is too weak; when you reach my level, you will then be able to freely comprehend the Overbearing True Intent within the blade."

For a monster like Su Yu, the elder naturally was not stingy with his words.

After all, a monster who can comprehend true intent, as long as he does not fall early, will certainly reach the Imperial Realm.

There is even a faint hope of glimpsing the Saint Realm.

Such a monster is urgently needed even by the Blade Execution Hall.

Saint Realm, already considered the limit of Heaven Beyond Heaven, while Imperial Realm experts are second only to Saint Realm.

They are also rare existences.

Su Yu nodded slightly, then bowed again to the old man.

Afterwards he stood beside him, waiting for everyone to come up.

The first trial of the Blade Execution Hall is not very difficult; as long as one's cultivation reaches 950,000 li, one can basically ascend the ninety‑nine‑story pavilion.

Even if one's combat power reaches 950,000 li, one can still reach the top.

However, the time required is relatively greater.

Fortunately, the Blade Execution Hall imposes no particular restrictions on the first trial.

Even so, cries of misery kept coming from the pavilion.

Obviously someone could not bear that terrifying pressure and fell down.

Afterwards, Gan Tianlei and the others also succeeded in reaching the top one after another.

In the end, as many as over seventy people successfully reached the top of the pavilion.

The rest were all eliminated.

Out of over a hundred people, the first trial alone eliminated thirty‑plus.

The elimination rate is still somewhat terrifying.

Seeing that no one remained on the pavilion, the old man slowly stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"The Blade Execution Hall's first trial examination is officially over!"

Those heavenly pride who had reached the top were all somewhat delighted.

At this moment, the old man's tone shifted.

"Now begins the second trial examination! Slaughter to Prove the Dao!"

As the old man's voice faded, some of those who had just reached the top suddenly looked bitter.

Having spent much time reaching the top, they now had no chance to rest and were immediately required to take part in the examination again.

It was really hard to bear.

Nevertheless, they did not object.

After all, the Blade Execution Hall's reputation is still extremely terrifying.

The old man waved his hand, and instantly a black doorway appeared in the void above.

From within the doorway came waves of ferocious aura, as if countless ferocious beasts were hiding behind it.

Releasing terrifying undulations.

The old man said lightly, "In the second trial, enter the Slaughter Secret Realm; within the span of an hour, the twenty with the highest points may proceed to the third trial examination."

"Note... within the Slaughter Secret Realm, each slain creature grants one point. Killing methods are unrestricted; you may team up or hunt freely."

"If one falls within the Slaughter Secret Realm, they will be sent out; likewise, when time is up they will be sent out."

"The Blade Execution Court looks only at points; I don't care what methods you use inside— in the end we only look at the results!"

"Now..." the old man slowly produced a giant red incense, "When the incense burns out, the scores will be fixed!"

The old man waved his hand, and that giant red incense spontaneously ignited.

Wisps of smoke drifted out.

Everyone's expressions tightened slightly as they all rushed into the doorway.

Su Yu was no exception.

He stepped into the doorway.

The scene instantly underwent a drastic change.

The whole world seemed like a stretch of purgatory.

The land was barren, moreover riddled with fissures like a spiderweb, spreading across the entire ground.

Within those fissures there was also scorching lava, constantly rolling and releasing terrifying heat waves.

Su Yu stepped on the ground, and his soul power instantly spread out.

The next moment, from the endless lava emerged monster after monster formed of lava.

Each monster possessed a cultivation of 800,000 li of the Great Dao.

At that moment, Gan Tianlei and his two companions came to Su Yu's side.

"Young Palace Master, what should we do now?"

Gan Tianlei asked softly.

Su Yu narrowed his eyes and looked toward the distance.

There, Zhang Fengnian and the other disciples of the White Tiger Sect had already begun to act, starting to hunt those lava monsters.

Although these lava monsters are powerful, before these heavenly pride they are nothing special.

With a cultivation of 800,000 li, any heavenly pride who had reached the top could easily slay them.

But the only problem is that the number of these monsters is simply too great!

One person's strength is hardly enough to oppose so many monsters.

Especially since these monsters keep coming endlessly, it's impossible to kill them all.

Su Yu withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

"If you want to gain more points within a single incense stick, there is only one way!"

"What way?"

Wu Chen asked curiously.

Su Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and his figure shot forward instantly.

The target turned out to be a spot of molten lava.

"Let's overturn their lair!"

Su Yu's voice exploded beside the three of them.

The three's expressions shifted slightly.

The lair!

Su Yu's idea was correct; the monsters' lair lies within the lava.

They also rely on the lava's power to continually propagate, so within the lava there are endless monsters.

This allows one to quickly gain many points.

But don't forget, the monsters in the lair are countless; even if their cultivation far exceeds these monsters, they cannot possibly kill them all!

"Young Palace Master... isn't this a bit too fierce?"

Yun Youzi said awkwardly.

Gan Tianlei hesitated for a moment, then his expression hardened.

"Follow the Young Palace Master's lead; if we want more points, this is the only way!"gΟиЪ. ōΓＧ

Gan Tianlei clearly knows his strength is inferior to Su Yu's group and also to Zhang Fengnian's group.

To gain more points, entering the lava is the best possible method.

Wu Chen and Yun Youzi gave a wry smile, shook their heads, then followed behind and directly entered the lava.

Zhang Fengnian led four elite disciples of the White Tiger Sect to slaughter those monsters, and he naturally also noticed Su Yu's figure.

Seeing Su Yu enter the lava, he let out a cold laugh.

"This is truly courting death! In the lava, it is where monsters breed; once one enters the lava, they must also expend energy to resist the lava's power."

"Do they really think it's that easy to get into the lava?!"

A White Tiger Sect elite chuckled and said, "Daoist, I think Su Yu is just lucky, having fluke-ly taken first place in the first stage."

"Looking at their appearance, it's sheer stupidity; although they can quickly gain points early on, soon they won't be able to bear it, and then I wonder what they'll use to earn points!"

Zhang Fengnian gave a faint smile: "Never mind them; first, slaughter the monsters. If we can get first place, it will still be somewhat beneficial for the third stage."

A gleam of sharp light flashed in Zhang Fengnian's eyes.

In an instant, he struck and slew a lava monster.

He successfully earned one point.

Not only did Zhang Fengnian's group notice Su Yu's movements, but Hong Luan, Xuan Kai, and others also promptly noticed Su Yu and their group's movements.

Hong Luan furrowed her lovely brows: "Is this Su Yu really that arrogant? He dares to venture deep into the lava?"

Immediately, she shook her head: "Seeking one's own death, no one else to blame!"

Obviously, even in Hong Luan's understanding, Su Yu leading the Azure Dragon Palace members into the lava is also courting death.

At the same time.

In the outside world.

The old man lightly pointed at the void.

Instantly, a golden light curtain appeared above the firmament.

And within the light curtain, lo and behold, were the names of those participating in this second stage.

Su Yu's name, lo and behold, hung high above the first place.

"First place: Su Yu, 95 points!"

"Second place: Gan Tianlei, 90 points!"

"Third place: Wu Chen, 84 points!"

"Fourth place: Yun Youzi, 82 points!"

"Fifth place: Hong Luan, 70 points!"

"Sixth place: Zhang Fengnian, 68 points!"

"Seventh place: Xuan Kai, 65 points!"

"Eighth place......"

Seeing the four from the Azure Dragon Palace occupying the top four spots, many people were shocked.

"Hiss, is the Azure Dragon Palace really this fierce? They actually took up four spots at once."

"Yeah, how did they manage that?"

Not only the spectators, but even Yan Ke in the void furrowed his brows slightly.

"These four fellows, could they have entered the lava?"

Yan Ke was somewhat worried.

Entering the lava can quickly yield points, but ultimately it is not an advisable path.

There are simply too many variables in the lava, and there are also many monsters; a moment's inattention and being surrounded means total annihilation.

Generally speaking, one only enters the lava at the last moment, forcibly exchanging for many points.

Bai Xiaotian chuckled as he looked at Yan Ke: "I say, Brother Yan, didn't your Azure Dragon Palace tell the disciples about the situation in the Slaughter Secret Realm? This appearance, surely they didn't just go straight into the lava upon entry, did they?"

Yan Ke's face darkened slightly.

In his heart, he was even more extremely worried.

Before the palace.

The old man looked at the light curtain, also somewhat surprised.

"This Su Yu actually brought his fellow disciples into the lava; too bold!"

The several sword-bearers behind him also spoke up.

"Indeed, if one is slightly inattentive, they might be besieged; by then, even if they have earned many points, others could catch up later. That would be a loss not worth the gain!"

They said with some regret.

The gold-robed elder suddenly felt a headache.

They even started thinking about how Su Yu and his group were eliminated, and how to get Su Yu into the Execution Blade Hall.

Although he acted rashly, Su Yu's talent....

It really makes the elder unwilling to give up!

After endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly jumped up from the bed. Please,

He took big breaths of fresh air, his chest trembling.

Confused and bewildered, various emotions surged in his heart.

Where is this?

Subsequently, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, then became even more bewildered.

A single-occupancy dorm?

Even if he successfully got rescued, he should now be in the infirmary.

And his own body... how could he have not a single injury?

With doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally settling on the mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, quite handsome.

But the problem is, this isn't him! Reading the latest chapter content, no ads, free.

Previously, he was a handsome young man in his twenties with extraordinary bearing, who had been working for a while.

And now, this appearance looks like that of a high school student no matter how you look at it...

This change left Shi Yu dazed for a long time.

Whatever you do, don't tell him the surgery was very successful...

His body and appearance have changed; this is fundamentally not a matter of surgery or not, but rather immortal arts.

He actually completely turned into another person!

Could it be... that he has time-traveled?

Besides the mirror placed at the head of the bed with obviously bad feng shui, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked one up and looked; the title instantly made him silent.

"Newcomer Breeder's Essential Beast-Rearing Manual"

"Postnatal Care for Pet Beasts"

"Guide to Evaluating Beast-Eared Girls of Different Species"

Shi Yu:???

The first two books' names are still normal; what's up with the last one?

"Cough."

Shi Yu's gaze tightened, he reached out, but soon his arm stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a flood of memories surged like a tide.

Providing you the high martial arts of the god's puppet, I have a synthesis slot.
