Chapter 577

The Eastern passage... shattered!

Rumble!!

The gateway was violently smashed apart beneath Su Yu's fist.

Terrifying energy poured out between heaven and earth.

It caused even the Blade Emperor, a Dao Realm strong one who had mastered a five-hundred-thousand-li Great Dao, to have his expression abruptly change.

All that flowed in his pupils was a look of sheer alarm.

"This... how is this possible!"

The Blade Emperor cried out.

One must know that over such a long period of time, the Blade Emperor had also tried various methods, wanting to destroy the passage.

But this passage's gateway was simply too hard; even with his five-hundred-thousand-li Great Dao cultivation, plus the combined strength of the Eastern King and the Flower Emperor,

they could only barely shake this gateway. Shattering it was simply impossible.

Yet Su Yu's appearance, with just a single punch, directly shattered the Eastern passage's gateway. Such terrifying combat power...

made the Blade Emperor involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.

"How was this done!"

The Flower Emperor also said in shock.

The Eastern King in particular, just like the Southern King, had been stationed at the Eastern passage here in the Eastern Domain ever since his promotion to King-Conferred.

The passage here was even more stable than the Southern Domain's, and the myriad races could easily come through, so he very rarely appeared elsewhere.

One could say he had devoted the greater half of his life to the Eastern passage.

But now...

The passage was shattered.

The Eastern King was first shocked, and then felt as though some heavy burden had been lifted from his body.

But even more so... was a look of bewilderment.

The passage he had guarded for the greater half of his life, having given so much for the Human Race, and now, this passage was shattered.

He... was free.

The Eastern King's heart was filled with deep, complicated emotions.

He did not even know what kind of mood he should be in right now.

"Su Yu... what realm are you at now exactly?"

The Blade Emperor could not help but ask.

One must know that the Blade Emperor was already the most powerful among the Three Emperors.

Even the Sword Emperor was now no more than four hundred thousand li of Great Dao.

The Flower Emperor was even less, only two hundred thousand li.

Such a gap in cultivation gave the Blade Emperor extreme confidence.

But with this punch from Su Yu, not only did it shatter the Eastern passage, it even shattered the Blade Emperor's confidence along with it.

For a moment, the Blade Emperor could not quite process it all.

He... seemed to no longer be the number one person of the Human Race?

Before Su Yu could even speak, the Literary King rushed to say, "Heh, Senior Blade Emperor, my junior brother is already at the peak of the Dao Realm now."

"Accept it, Senior. The new generation pushes the old aside. Now it's the world of these young people!"

The Literary King said teasingly.

The Flower Emperor gave a cold snort. "Hmph! No matter how formidable, he's still my disciple's disciple!"

The Literary King looked at the Flower Emperor in surprise. "Senior Flower Emperor, from those words of yours, does it mean you agree to my teacher and the Charm King's matter?"

The Flower Emperor fell silent for a moment, then said, "Sigh, that fellow Slay Dragon King was too arrogant. I've never liked him, but now... with Mei'er crying every day, even if I disagreed, what could I do?"

The Literary King and the others fell into a bout of silence.

The fall of Slay Dragon King had always been a thorn stuck in the throats of the Human Race's strong ones.

Su Yu sighed and offered some words of comfort.

Then he said, "Seniors, now that the Southern passage and the Eastern passage have both been thoroughly destroyed, we only need to destroy the Northern passage and the Western passage, and there will be no more hidden threats within the Human Race!"

Only then did everyone snap back to their senses. The Blade Emperor said excitedly, "That's right! As long as we shatter the final two passages, plus the Human Race's domain barrier, even if the myriad races want to come in, they'll have to pay a tremendous price!"

"And our Human Race can use this time to rest and recover. When enough time has passed, our Human Race will once again be able to stand at the pinnacle of the myriad races' continent!"

The Blade Emperor could not help but get a bit excited.

It was truly because the Human Race had been living in misery lately, targeted by the myriad races at every turn, and had even lost several main cities.

It was utterly agonizing!

"Time waits for no one. Let's go!"

Su Yu abruptly waved his hand and led everyone directly toward the direction of the Western passage.

The Western passage and the Eastern passage were the two most stable passages.

Between them, the Eastern passage was the most stable.

Therefore, here at the Eastern passage, two of the Three Emperors had come.

While at the Western passage, the Sword Emperor alone was stationed.

As for the Northern passage, like the Southern passage, it was not too stable, and Dao Realm strong ones simply had no way to come through these two passages.

So, only King-Conferred Strong Ones needed to be stationed there.

Therefore, Su Yu and the others went to the Western passage first.

Very soon, under Su Yu's lead, everyone arrived at the Human Race's Western Domain in just a few breaths' time.

"Hiss, Su Yu, your speed is way too fast. Even I would need the time of one stick of incense to cross from the Eastern Passage to the Western Passage, yet you only took a few breaths."

The Blade Emperor could not help but say.

The Flower Emperor sneered, "You old stick naturally can't do it. Only Su Yu could accomplish this."

The Blade Emperor glared at the Flower Emperor. "Old flowery guts, you have the nerve to talk about me. At your great age, your Great Dao is only two hundred thousand li, I don't know how you even cultivate. I at least cultivated my Great Dao to five hundred thousand li!"

However, facing the Blade Emperor's mockery, the Flower Emperor not only did not fly into a rage, but instead said with a grin.

"Nothing to be done about it. As long as Su Yu is formidable, that's enough. After all, he counts as my junior. I'm not like some people, who don't have a single promising junior among them—just a Blade King and nothing more."

The Blade Emperor was directly stunned by the Flower Emperor's words.

Good heavens, so he couldn't do it himself and was using his juniors to make up for it, was that it?

However, what the Flower Emperor said was not without reason.

As long as one's own juniors were formidable, whether one was formidable oneself was secondary.

After all, the Flower Emperor's daughter was Su Yu's master's wife.

For a moment, the Blade Emperor gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the Flower Emperor.

In his heart, he was even considering whether to put the Blade King through a devil's training to improve him.

Otherwise, he could not compare to the Flower Emperor.

Watching the two old men bicker, Su Yu smiled faintly.

The Flower Emperor and the Blade Emperor had a very deep bond; now it was merely vanity at work.

Su Yu tore through the void and directly descended at the location of the Western Passage.

Under the Sword Emperor's shocked gaze, he thoroughly shattered the Western Passage as well.

Even after the space of the Western Passage stabilized, the Sword Emperor was still immersed in shock.

Afterward, the previous events were recounted once more.

The Flower Emperor then said with a grin, "Haha, Sword Second Brother, how about it? My Su Yu is not bad, right!"

The Sword Emperor glanced at the Flower Emperor with suspicion and said, "Your Su Yu? You have the nerve?"

The Flower Emperor said smugly, "Nothing to be done about it. My Mei'er is Su Yu's master's wife, so I count as Su Yu's grand-master. Hahaha!!"

The Sword Emperor sneered, "My Zhang Xiaobai is Su Yu's brother. Calculating it this way, I am also Su Yu's senior."

The Flower Emperor gave a disdainful smile. "So what? Going by this seniority, my generation is still one round above yours. Call me 'Dad' and let me hear it!"

"You're asking for death!"

The Sword Emperor flew into a rage, grabbed his sharp sword, and wanted to fight the Flower Emperor to the death.

The Blade Emperor in a corner nearby watched his two brothers with envy.

These two fellows could at least claim some connection to Su Yu, whereas he—the number one expert of the Human Race apart from Su Yu—seemed to have little relationship with Su Yu.

For a moment, a world where only the Blade Emperor was hurt was directly achieved.

In the end, under Su Yu's intervention, the two old men also gave up their scuffle.

The Sword Emperor was somewhat stronger than the Flower Emperor after all; in merely a moment, he had already beaten the Flower Emperor black and blue.

After briefly explaining matters, Su Yu was led by everyone to the Northern Domain.

Under the Northern King's shocked gaze, Su Yu successfully shattered the last passage completely.

Afterward, everyone returned to Jingdu.

They saw the Martial King.

When the Martial King saw Su Yu, he was incomparably shocked.

Especially after hearing that Su Yu was already at the peak of the Great Dao Realm and had helped the Human Race resolve numerous predicaments, the Martial King was even more shocked.

"Hiss!"

Atop the tall building of the Martial Artists Association, the Martial King looked at Su Yu and drew in a sharp breath.

The Martial King said somewhat sourly, "If I had known earlier, I should have disregarded the Slay Dragon King's face and taken you as my disciple."

Back then, the Martial King had also felt the impulse to take Su Yu as his disciple.

But in the end, seeing the Slay Dragon King take Su Yu in, the matter went no further.

Su Yu listened to the Martial King's words and smiled faintly.

He was joking—take him as a disciple?

Su Yu did not believe for a second that the Slay Dragon King wouldn't beat the Martial King until he shit himself.

Su Yu knew very well just how domineering his master was!

It was only because the Martial King and the others did not know the Slay Dragon King's true identity that they dared to say such things.

If they knew the Slay Dragon King's true identity, they absolutely would not dare to speak.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries.

The Northern King quietly pulled Su Yu into a corner, his gaze falling on Su Yu.

"Su Yu... tell me the truth, did you go to Heaven Beyond Heaven?"

The Northern King stared at Su Yu with shining eyes.

Su Yu immediately looked at the Northern King with some surprise.

The secret of his trip to Heaven Beyond Heaven was known only to Zhao Tianxing now, yet the Northern King actually knew about it as well.

What was going on?

Perhaps seeing through the surprise in Su Yu's heart, the Northern King explained.

"I don't know much about the matter of Heaven Beyond Heaven. It's just that when Nian Bing and Wu Ling'er disappeared, Mei Wang and I went to find the Slay Dragon King."

"Because at that time, those two little girls were both in Mie Long Cheng."

"In the end, under our relentless questioning, the Slay Dragon King told us that those two little girls had been taken to Heaven Beyond Heaven."

"Although I haven't seen much, I can be certain that although you were cast into the forbidden land by the Immortal Emperor, the reason you can return now is mostly because you entered the passage leading to Heaven Beyond Heaven!"

Northern King explained, while his eyes full of hope looked at Su Yu.

"I want to ask, in Heaven Beyond Heaven, do you have any news of Tang Nian Bing?"

Tang Nian Bing is Northern King's disciple; Northern King naturally cares deeply for Tang Nian Bing.

So, when guessing that Su Yu had returned from Heaven Beyond Heaven, Northern King could not wait to ask Su Yu.

Su Yu pondered for a moment.

At this moment, Su Yu suddenly recalled.

When I was still in the Azure Dragon Hall, Mu Qingqing, who is also the master of the Azure Dragon Hall.

He let me communicate with the Slay Dragon King once.

During that communication, the Slay Dragon King said he would give me a surprise.

However, that surprise, Su Yu had stayed in Heaven Beyond Heaven for so long, yet still had not seen it.

So I also forgot about it.

And now, when Northern King brought it up, Su Yu instantly combined these two pieces of information.

"Could it be... the surprise my teacher said he would give me is Tang Nian Bing and Wu Ling'er?"

Su Yu's heart stirred slightly.

Speaking of which, when in Hidden Dragon City, Su Yu had already guessed; hearing Northern King say this, his inner certainty grew even stronger.

Su Yu pondered a while, then said to Northern King, "Senior Northern King, although I haven't seen them in Heaven Beyond Heaven, I can be certain that they are now doing well."

Su Yu did not lie with that sentence.

After all, the Azure Dragon is still a Saint Realm being; to take away two girls under his very nose is naturally impossible.

The only explanation is the Azure Dragon's tacit approval.

I suppose the two girls are still cultivating in some faction of Heaven Beyond Heaven.

After all, given the Azure Dragon's protective nature, it is naturally impossible for him to see others bullying Wu Ling'er and the others.

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Northern King finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as they're doing well!"

Northern King's expression turned slightly complex.

Su Yu looked at Northern King's appearance, comforted him a bit, then walked into the crowd.

"Seniors, there are some things I still need to say."

Everyone hearing Su Yu's voice stopped and listened to his voice.

Su Yu took a deep breath and slowly said:

"I also won't hide it from you seniors; I was initially cast into the forbidden land by the Immortal Emperor, and by a twist of fate I entered Heaven Beyond Heaven."

Everyone's faces changed slightly.

Those present now are all the top experts of the current Human Race, naturally also knowing this secret of Heaven Beyond Heaven.

However, upon hearing that Su Yu had returned from Heaven Beyond Heaven, everyone was still somewhat surprised.

Su Yu continued, "I can return solely because I joined a faction of Heaven Beyond Heaven; even so, I can only stay on the Myriad Races Continent for one month."

The Blade Emperor and others furrowed their brows slightly.

"One month? That's so short?"

Don't look at one month as long; for experts above the King level, one month might be just a blink of an eye.

Especially now, as the Human Race still faces the invasion of the Myriad Races, one month might not even be enough to finish a single campaign.

Just as everyone frowned, Su Yu's voice sounded again.

"Moreover, when I returned, the superiors specifically instructed me not to disrupt the balance of the Myriad Races Continent; if I do, powerful beings will forcibly suppress me to keep the balance."

"So... I can only act against Myriad Races experts within Human Race territory; once I leave Human Race territory, due to certain rules, I cannot act!"

For a moment, everyone's faces turned somewhat grim.
