Chapter 586: Eight Trigrams Diagram, Cultivation Suppressed!

The golden battlefield lay across heaven and earth, enveloping both Yan Ming Tian and Su Yu.

With the battlefield's emergence, figures appeared one after another, revealing themselves above the heavenly dome.

Xiao Yun was also among them.

Beside Xiao Yun stood a white-haired middle-aged man.

He was none other than the foremost under the Hall Master of the Blade-Wielding Hall, Xiao Xun.

After such a long period of recovery, Xiao Xun's injuries had completely healed.

The two looked at Su Yu and Yan Ming Tian on the battlefield, their brows involuntarily furrowed.

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Yun said somewhat angrily.

"Yan Ming Tian is already at the Venerable Realm; how dare Su Yu challenge him!"

Xiao Xun's face also looked somewhat unsightly.

The Hall Master of the Blade-Wielding Hall had clearly told them to look after Su Yu.

After all, Su Yu's identity is not simple; he is a disciple of the Azure Dragon Sage.

He is also the junior disciple of the Second Hall Master.

If Su Yu were to fall here, both of them would receive reproach from the Hall Master of the Blade-Wielding Hall.

However, a life-and-death duel is a rule left by the founder of the Blade-Wielding Hall.

Even as Dharma Protectors, they could not possibly violate it.

Unless the Hall Master steps in.

But the Hall Master of the Blade-Wielding Hall already has many responsibilities, so it's naturally impossible for him to appear over this matter.

Moreover, out of respect for the Second Hall Master and the Azure Dragon Sage, having the two Dharma Protectors watch over Su Yu is already enough face.

Now, whether the Hall Master is present or not in the Blade-Wielding Hall is a question.

Xiao Yun glanced discontentedly at Chu Kuangren: "Why don't you stop him a bit?"

Chu Kuangren gave a helpless wry smile: "Dharma Protector, I want to stop him too, but you know Su Yu's temperament—once he decides on something, not even ten oxen can pull him back."

Xiao Yun sighed, his expression complex as he looked toward the battlefield.

"Forget it, let him be. If Su Yu is no match, I would even sacrifice this old face to save him!"

Although Xiao Yun cannot alter the Holy Blade's decision, he could still forcibly intervene to save Su Yu, albeit at some cost.

After all, he is a powerhouse at the peak of the Imperial Realm.

Although it might tarnish his reputation, Su Yu's identity is truly special; once Su Yu falls,

the entire Blade-Wielding Hall could incur the wrath of the Azure Dragon Sage.

Never doubt it.

The Azure Dragon Sage is just that short-tempered.

Perhaps even the Great Wei Dynasty would suffer the Azure Dragon Sage's misdirected wrath.

"Hopefully Yan Ming Tian will show some restraint!"

Xiao Xun also said somewhat helplessly.

The appearance of the several Dharma Protectors also led to more and more Blade Wielders gathering on the plaza, watching the battle between Su Yu and Yan Ming Tian.

"This Su Yu is truly arrogant, relying on being the Azure Dragon Sage's disciple to act as he pleases?"

Some Blade Wielders said disdainfully.

"He's only been here a few days and already wants to challenge Yan Ming Tian—does he really think Yan Ming Tian's Venerable Realm cultivation is just piled up from pills?"

"Even if it's a Venerable Realm built from pills, it's not something a mere Law Realm can rival."

"This time, it seems Su Yu is in for terrible luck—having offended Yan Ming Tian and now challenging him to a life-and-death duel; even if Su Yu falls here, the Blade-Wielding Hall won't say anything."

Some Blade Wielders shook their heads, clearly not optimistic about Su Yu.

Among the crowd, Bai Lie and others likewise gazed worriedly at the battlefield.

"We shouldn't have let the boss know; now that he does, rushing to challenge Yan Ming Tian is too reckless."

Bai Lie said with distress.

Hong Luan's beautiful eyes showed a deep worry.

"Su Yu brother...."

Kang Jing and Xuan Kai remained silent, but the worry in their eyes was no less than Bai Lie's.

On the golden battlefield.

Yan Ming Tian looked at Su Yu mockingly: "Tsk tsk tsk, Su Yu, I really ought to thank you properly!"

"Do you know what your price is on the Assassination Ranking right now?"

"An Imperial Artifact!"

Yan Ming Tian's smile was extremely rich.

"I originally thought you'd die at an assassin's hand, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient—just a little provocation and you're furious."

"Hahaha, an Imperial Artifact—something even some Dharma Protectors of the Blade-Wielding Hall might not possess—I never thought I, Yan Ming Tian, would acquire it so quickly!"

Yan Ming Tian laughed unrestrainedly.

In his eyes, Su Yu was like a prey.

And a prey of extremely precious value.

He himself is a hunter.

How could a prey possibly escape from the hands of an experienced hunter?

Su Yu stood still in place, head lowered, making his face indiscernible.

"Have you finished speaking?"

Su Yu hoarsely opened his mouth.

"Huh?"

Yan Ming Tian raised his brow slightly and said teasingly, "How? Do you really think you can defeat me?"

"I... am a Venerable Realm!"

Boom!!

Accompanied by waves of rumbling, extremely potent law power emanated from Yan Ming Tian's body.

Both Law Realm and Venerable Realm cultivators train in law power; only the intensity differs.

Upon reaching the Venerable Realm, the law one masters will undergo an extremely powerful transformation, and after transformation, its intensity will be absolutely dozens of times that of the Law Realm's law.

This is also why the gap between Venerable Realm powerhouses and Law Realm powerhouses can be so great.

"Venerable Realm... is that awesome?"

Su Yu murmured.

In the next instant, Su Yu's figure flickered swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yu had already rushed to Yan Ming Tian's front.

In his hand, the Two-Star Ancient God Blade suddenly appeared.

This was the first time Su Yu had used the Two-Star Ancient God Blade since returning to the Myriad Races Continent.

Clang!

The battle blade was drawn, and a clear blade cry rang out.

"Nine-Star God-Slaying Blade!"

"Shatter Star!"

Su Yu bellowed, and waves of surging blade qi storms rose from the Two-Star Ancient God Blade, under the onslaught of the terrifying blade qi storm.

These blade qi gradually formed a massive blade qi star.

The star rotated, possessing terrifying might, and erupted from it.

Thud!

The blade qi star swept forward and instantly landed on Yan Ming Tian's body.

Boom!!

Blade qi raged, and the star frenziedly bombarded Yan Ming Tian.

Yan Ming Tian snorted coldly, and towering flames blazed all over his body, rolling up waves of fire.

Yan Ming Tian was like a fire god bathing in a sea of fire.

With every lift of hand and foot, scorching surges erupted from Yan Ming Tian's hands.

"Flame Burial!"

Yan Ming Tian bellowed.

The surging sea of fire instantly enveloped the blade qi star, and under extreme temperature, it gradually burned the blade qi star to ashes.

"Hiss, after all it's Yan Ming Tian; Su Yu's move actually didn't cause any injury to Yan Ming Tian."

Outside, a blade wielder watched this scene and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"You can't even get close to Yan Ming Tian; Su Yu wanting to defeat him is basically impossible."

Some blade wielders shook their heads and sighed.

Yan Ming Tian's prestige among the blade wielders is extremely high.

The early Venerable Realm cultivation leading the blade wielder squad also firmly holds second place on the battle team rankings.

He himself has also entered the personal power rankings.

Such strength, within the entire Blade-wielding Court, is absolutely the top existence beneath the elders.

The blade missed.

Su Yu instantly pulled back, his gaze calm as he looked at Yan Ming Tian.

Yan Ming Tian bathed in flames, his eyes full of contempt.

【95】 "Your speed is fast, but... your attack is far lacking!"

The speed is very fast, but... the attack is far lacking!

A hint of excitement appeared on Yan Ming Tian's face.

"Although I don't know, you've only been in the Blade-wielding Court for two or three months—how did you think to challenge me to a life-and-death battle?"

"But to thank you for letting me obtain an imperial artifact, I can preserve your corpse whole when I kill you!"

Yan Ming Tian laughed loudly.

Su Yu's gaze was calm, as if looking at a dead man as he looked at Yan Ming Tian.

"You're pretty arrogant... I can't stand anyone more arrogant than me!"

Su Yu's soft voice sounded.

In the next moment, an Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared in Su Yu's hand.

Su Yu directly threw the Eight Trigrams Diagram in his hand toward the heavens.

In an instant, black and white light burst forth above the golden battlefield.

The entire battlefield was shrouded in that black-and-white light.

Immediately, a powerful suction erupted from the Eight Trigrams Diagram.

It directly pulled Yan Ming Tian and Su Yu into the Eight Trigrams Diagram.

In just a moment, the golden battlefield no longer bore any trace of Yan Ming Tian and Su Yu.

"What's going on? How did those two guys disappear?"

A sword-wielder let out a startled cry.

The others also gazed in astonishment at the golden battlefield.

Only Xiao Yun and Xiao Xun, in the void above, frowned slightly as they gazed at the Bagua Diagram floating above the golden battlefield.

"A space-type magical artifact?"

"No, it's not just a magical artifact; a magical artifact can't allow someone to enter another space..."

"How strange—what kind of weapon is this exactly?"

The two exchanged a glance, each seeing doubt in the other's eyes.

After all, it was a rare item that had popped out of the Synthesis Slot.

Even though Xiao Yun and Xiao Xun were peak experts of the Imperial Realm, they had never seen such a bizarre weapon.

Perhaps such weapons still exist in the Central Immortal Realm.

But any weapon capable of this must at least be an imperial artifact!

Or even... a holy artifact.

Just as the two were still puzzled,

inside a certain space,

the whole world was shrouded in darkness.

Yan Ming Tian stood between heaven and earth, flames constantly burning all over his body.

Like a flame war god.

The flames' brilliance illuminated the surroundings.

"What damned place is this? It even suppresses my cultivation!"

Yan Ming Tian's face darkened slightly.

Because he suddenly felt a powerful oppressive force in this world, constantly suppressing his cultivation.

Originally he had early Venerable Realm cultivation, but upon entering this world his cultivation dropped to late Law Realm!

He had been suppressed by an entire realm!

Yan Ming Tian furrowed his brows slightly.

"Just... what place is this?"

At that moment, Su Yu's figure slowly appeared before Yan Ming Tian.

"The place to kill you!"

Su Yu calmly gazed at Yan Ming Tian.

Hearing Su Yu's words, Yan Ming Tian's face showed a contemptuous smile.

"Su Yu, don't think that just because my cultivation is suppressed to late Law Realm you can defeat me; even with your extraordinary talent, at best you only have mid Law Realm cultivation."

"How will you make up for the cultivation suppression?"

Facing Su Yu, Yan Ming Tian still appeared confident.

This was the confidence of his position as captain of the second-ranked war team!

"Who told you I only have mid Law Realm cultivation?"

Su Yu tilted his head.

Boom—!!!

Accompanied by rolling thunderous roars.

In the ink‑black heavens and earth, surging storms rolled forth.

At the storm's center, Su Yu stood still.

A burst of late Law Realm cultivation erupted instantly.

"Impossible!"

Yan Ming Tian's pupils shrank slightly as he stared in shock at Su Yu.

He had thought Su Yu's cultivation had risen, but he never expected that Su Yu had jumped from early to late Law Realm in just a month or two.

"Impossible! The ancestral land clearly has no law power—how have you cultivated?"

Yan Ming Tian grew a little panicked.

Su Yu's cultivation speed is simply too fast.

It's gotten to the point where even he feels a bit afraid.

"Never mind how I cultivate... all I know is that today you'll pay for everything you've done!"

Su Yu snorted coldly, his body shooting forward like a cannonball as he lunged at Yan Ming Tian.

"Su Yu, you're too arrogant!"

Yan Ming Tian roared.

"Do you really think that with just your late Law Realm cultivation you can be my opponent?"

Yan Ming Tian threw a punch, wrapped in endless flame law.

The scorching heat even twisted the dark space slightly.

"Today I'll show you why I, Yan Ming Tian, am ranked second on the war team leaderboard!"

Boom—!!

Scorching flames wrapped Yan Ming Tian's fist, forming a flame gauntlet.

It erupted instantly.

However...

Facing Yan Ming Tian's punch.

Su Yu directly drew out the Two-Star Ancient God Blade.

The battle blade swept across the sky, slashing out a snow-white blade aura in the darkness.

The blade aura seemed to cleave the darkness.

In the eternally unchanging black space, a trace of snowflake color appeared.

It looked extremely abrupt.

Clang!

The Ancient God Blade viciously slashed onto Yan Ming Tian's fist.

"Ah!!!"

Accompanied by a miserable scream from Yan Ming Tian.

Under Su Yu's Ancient God Blade, Yan Ming Tian's fist was actually severed outright!
