Chapter 608: Little Madman? Full of Fighting Spirit!

Blade-Wielding Hall, inside a grand hall.

Five imposing figures sat quietly within.

"Well, calculating the time, the God-Hunt Battle should also be starting, right!"

The Hall Master's heavy voice echoed in the great hall.

Instantly, the air in the entire great hall seemed to solidify.

It seemed that the three words 'God-Hunt Battle' made several people feel solemn.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this God-Hunt Battle won't be easy to fight!"

The Second Hall Master tapped his crossed leg, smiling.

The Third Hall Master sat beside the Second Hall Master, glanced helplessly at him, then his gaze fell on the Hall Master, his eyes slightly solemn.

"This time... who will our Blade-Wielding Hall send?"

The already solemn aura became even more solemn at this moment.

Because... this generation's Blade-Wielder lacks an outstanding candidate.

Now, the one ranked second among Blade-Wielders, Yan Ming Tian, has also been slain by Su Yu.

And the one ranked first...

Even just thinking of that person gives the five of them a headache.

"Why not let my little junior brother go and go on a killing spree, cackling!"

The Second Hall Master said with a hearty laugh.

Before the Hall Master could speak, the Fifth Hall Master shook his head and refuted.

"Although Su Yu's combat power can slay a Venerable Realm expert, Second Brother, don't forget that in the depths of the Divine Spirit Abyss, without Venerable Realm cultivation, it's hard to resist the Divine Spirit aura; if Su Yu were accidentally corrupted..."

The Fifth Hall Master's words were not finished.

But everyone understood the gist.

If something happens to Su Yu, won't the Azure Dragon Sage blow up?

By then, even if the Blade-Wielding Hall's relationship with the Azure Dragon Sage is good, they'll still have to bear the Azure Dragon Sage's wrath.

It must be said, Su Yu's identity really puts the five of them in a bind.

The Hall Master rubbed his brow, then spoke helplessly.

"The Dark Son and Dark Daughter of the Nine Netherworld Purgatory, and the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Holy Palace aren't simple characters; on our side, only that little madman can contend with them, the others..."

"Even that little rascal Chu Kuangren isn't a match for them!"

As the Hall Master of the Blade-Wielding Hall, he is also a top existence in the Central Immortal Domain; even now he feels helpless.

"Sigh, if not for that battle, our Blade-Wielding Hall wouldn't have become so weak."

The Fourth Hall Master sighed, his voice low.

Everyone fell silent again.

Obviously, the quota for this God-Hunt Battle is really a headache for them.

After all, the prodigies of the Nine Netherworld Purgatory and the Holy Palace are at least mid Venerable Realm cultivation now.

Some have even reached late Venerable Realm.

Such cultivation, viewed across the Central Immortal Domain, can be considered a major power.

After all, in some second-rate forces, having a single Royal Realm expert is already not bad.

Late Venerable Realm is even more of a top-tier existence.

However, in the Blade-Wielding Hall, there are a few who appear to be Venerable Realm Blade-Wielders.

But... most are only early Venerable Realm cultivation; even if Yan Ming Tian weren't dead, there's still a distance to mid Venerable Realm.

For a moment, everyone felt helpless.

Throughout the hall, a silent aura permeated.

The Hall Master looked helplessly at the four, pondering.

However, at that moment, a breakthrough aura suddenly came from within the Blade-Wielding Hall's realm.

Everyone sensed it.

But they didn't pay attention.

Because these auras were merely those of a Great Dao Realm breakthrough into the Law Realm; to them, Law Realm experts are... a dime a dozen.

But after these auras, a much stronger fluctuation spread out.

"This is... someone broke through to the Venerable Realm?"

The Hall Master's brow twitched slightly.

"If breaking through the Law Realm couldn't cause them any ripples, breaking through the Venerable Realm... would certainly draw their attention."

After all, only a Venerable Realm expert in a force can be considered a pillar of strength.

"Huh!"

The Second Hall Master let out a soft exclamation.

He lowered his crossed leg, his gaze following the palace gates, slowly looking toward a traveling palace's location.

"This aura... is it my little junior brother's?"

A gleam flashed in the Second Hall Master's eyes.

"Su Yu broke through?"

Everyone was slightly stunned.

Just moments ago, they were still thinking that although Su Yu could slay Yan Ming Tian, his combat power was unmatched.

But his cultivation limit prevented him from joining the God-Hunt Battle, and in the blink of an eye, Su Yu had broken through?

In a moment, the eyes of the Fifth Hall Master and the Fourth Hall Master flashed with a sharp light.

"Su Yu broke through... the quota for the God‑Hunter War..."

The Third Hall Master murmured.

You should know, Su Yu could already slay Yan Ming Tian when he was in the late Law Realm.

Now that he has broken through to the Venerable Realm, his combat strength should at least be comparable to a mid‑Venerable Realm expert.

With this strength...

Compared to the seedlings of the other few factions, he doesn't seem lacking at all!

In the eyes of the five, a look of ecstasy surged.

"Let's go take a look!"

The Grand Hall Master smiled faintly.

He was the first to vanish between heaven and earth.

The remaining four also flickered away in succession.

Venerable Realm!

This aura—it unmistakably belongs to the Venerable Realm!

In Xiao Yun's traveling palace.

Figures appeared one after another in the void.

They were none other than Xiao Yun, Zhuang Lao, and Chu Kuangren, among others.

This aura—it seems Su Yu is breaking through!

Xiao Yun's eyes flashed with surprise.

You should know, when he killed Yan Ming Tian, Su Yu was only in the late Law Realm, and now only a month or two have passed.

He broke through already?

Such speed...

Even Xiao Yun, who has already touched the Saint Realm, was somewhat shocked.

"Tsk tsk, the newcomers who just arrived have already reached the Venerable Realm."

Tang Cheng said helplessly.

His eyes were extremely complex.

You should know, when Su Yu first entered, he had just broken through to the Law Realm in the training camp.

Even then, Su Yu's cultivation was at the peak of the Great Dao Realm, after all he entered the Law Realm via his physical body first.

Only later did his cultivation enter the Law Realm.

Now, in less than a year, he has surpassed them all and reached the Venerable Realm.

Such talent, such speed.

Even though they have all undergone numerous selections and are captain‑level figures.

They also feel a bit envious.

Chu Kuangren gave a bitter laugh.

"Now my third place is totally secured!"

When Yan Ming Tian was still around, Chu Kuangren could still match wrists with him; maybe today he's third, tomorrow he'd be second.

But with Su Yu suppressing Yan Ming Tian, and now breaking through to the Venerable Realm,

the second place may have nothing to do with Chu Kuangren anymore.

Of course, they don't know that Su Yu, at the peak of the Law Realm, could already kill a mid‑Venerable Realm expert.

Otherwise, they'd be even more shocked now.

"It seems that, in the entire Blade Hall, only that little madman can suppress Su Yu—too bad… if given Su Yu some time, even that little madman couldn't hold him down."

Zhuang Lao said with a smiling squint.

After all, Su Yu was brought in by Zhuang Lao.

The farther Su Yu goes, the happier Zhuang Lao becomes.

He can also be considered a guide for Su Yu.

Inside the palace.

The aura surged skyward.

Above the void, a black‑hole phantom slowly emerged, bursting forth with a terrifying suction.

Endless law power was sucked into it, and that black hole, like a bottomless pit, frantically absorbed.

Beside the black‑hole phantom was a much smaller war‑blade phantom.

The blood‑red war blade was also desperately absorbing the surrounding law power.

But compared to the black hole, the war‑blade phantom was obviously far weaker.

It could only absorb the edges and corners of the black hole.

It looked extremely pitiful.

Moments later.

The two phantoms vanished instantly.

A white‑clad figure appeared somewhere in the void.

The youth stepped on the void, as if lotuses bloomed beneath his feet.

With each step, a lotus blossomed.

The surging aura exploded with a boom!

Venerable Realm!

Long hair fluttered.

It gave off the feeling of an immortal in a turbid world.

"Is... this the power of the Venerable Realm?"

Su Yu murmured softly.

The white clothing, blown by the fierce wind, made a rustling sound.

Su Yu threw a punch at the void before him.

Thud!

A muffled sound came from the void.

Moreover, a minuscule crack split open in that space.

A gleam flashed across Su Yu's eyes.

"Can I now finally shake the space of Heaven Beyond Heaven?"

Su Yu was extremely satisfied with his current power; the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile.

"With my current reliance on the Taiji Eight Trigrams Diagram, I should be able to suppress and kill a late-stage Venerable Realm expert, but if I encounter someone like Granny Wind at the peak of the Venerable Realm... I'm still a bit short."

"However, if I can fuse the Nine Stars Slay God Blade into an Imperial-level Martial Technique, I might then be able to slay a peak Venerable Realm expert!"

Su Yu murmured.

At this moment, Su Yu's physical cultivation had already reached the early stage of the Venerable Realm.

His combat power was even more terrifying.

"Even without relying on the Taiji Eight Trigrams Diagram, I could easily defeat a mid-stage Venerable Realm expert!"

Above the void, a sense of confidence welled up from within Su Yu's body.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Xiao Yun laughed loudly and walked over from afar.

"Dharma Protector!"

Su Yu gave Xiao Yun a slight bow.

Xiao Yun examined Su Yu up and down, feeling the immensely robust aura within him, and was slightly surprised.

But he quickly returned to normal.

"Not bad, not bad!" Xiao Yun patted Su Yu's shoulder, saying, "You're truly worthy of being my Blade Execution Hall's Blade Executioner; with your current Venerable Realm cultivation, as long as you don't run into that little madman, you're already invincible among all the Blade Executioners of the Blade Execution Hall."

"Little madman?"

Su Yu noticed the term, his eyes flickering slightly.

Xiao Yun gave Su Yu a doubtful glance, asking, "You don't know who that guy is?"

Xiao Yun clearly hadn't expected that Su Yu actually didn't know who the little madman he spoke of was.

However, Xiao Yun soon came to terms with it.

"It's also understandable; you've only been in the Blade Execution Hall for less than a year, so naturally you don't know who the little madman is."

"You should know about the existence of the Power Ranking, right?"

Su Yu nodded.

Xiao Yun continued speaking.

"Chu Kuangren ranks third on the Power Ranking, while the Yan Mingtian you slew is second, but do you know who is first?"

Su Yu carefully recalled the Power Ranking he had seen before.

But he couldn't remember.

Xiao Yun said, "It's normal that you don't know; that fellow spends three hundred and sixty days out of the year in the Divine Spirit Abyss. Come to think of it, I haven't seen that little madman in a long time either."

Xiao Yun reminisced.

Su Yu, hearing Xiao Yun's words, couldn't help but become curious.

"Staying year-round in the Divine Spirit Abyss?"

"Such a fellow is quite different, huh."

"Most Blade Executioners can't stay in the Divine Spirit Abyss for very long, after all, the Holy Blade's protection is limited."

"Like Su Yu, who has received the Holy Blade's blessing, can naturally stay in the Divine Spirit Abyss for as long as he wishes."

"But others are not the same."

"Before Su Yu, no one had ever received the Holy Blade's blessing."

"In other words..."

"That fellow relies on his own cultivation to stubbornly resist the erosion of the Divine Spirit Abyss."

"Putting it that way..."

"It's rather frightening."

"Still, as a Blade Executioner, it shows his cultivation is roughly at the Venerable Realm level."

"You know, even some elders of the Blade Executioners might not be able to stay that long in the Divine Spirit Abyss."

"Yet he can..."

Su Yu's heart grew even more curious.

"There's actually such an interesting person inside the Blade Execution Hall."

"I wonder what his combat power is like."

Su Yu murmured softly.

Xiao Yun's ears twitched slightly, naturally hearing Su Yu's murmur.

The corner of his mouth slightly raised, Xiao Yun stared at Su Yu with a half‑smile.

Perhaps if you used the space tool that killed Yan Ming Tian, you could defeat that little madman, but without the space tool… you might not be his opponent.

As a peak expert of the Imperial Realm, Xiao Yun could naturally see that Su Yu's killing of Yan Ming Tian was largely due to his use of the Bagua Diagram.

That's why he said such words.

Upon hearing that, Su Yu felt no rise of anything; instead, his eyes revealed an even stronger fighting spirit!

Like this...?

But only this can arouse more of my fighting spirit!

Su Yu murmured.

A soaring fighting spirit burst forth from Su Yu's body.

In a certain void, the five hall masters of the Blade‑Holding Hall gazed down at Su Yu and Xiao Yu below, unnoticed by anyone.

Tsk tsk, this little fellow is full of fighting spirit; it seems he wants to exchange a move with that little madman. Second brother, what do you think?

The Third Hall Master chuckled and looked toward the Second Hall Master.

The Second Hall Master said lightly.

Little junior disciple will surely win!

Huh?

The others all felt somewhat surprised; the Second Hall Master's confidence in his little junior disciple seems overly excessive.

The Grand Hall Master gave a deep look at the abyss beneath the Holy Blade.

After calculating the time, that little madman should also have come out.

I look forward to the meeting of these two.
