Chapter 621: Kill without mercy!

Nine Stars Slay God Blade: Imperial Middle Grade, having unlocked the first seven forms.

Human Emperor's Technique (Fragment): Legend says it is the cultivation method practiced by the previous Human Emperor; currently the third layer is unlocked, an Imperial Middle Grade cultivation technique, increasing Venerable Realm cultivation speed by 500%!

Seven Stars Ancient God Blade: Middle Grade Imperial Artifact! Can increase blade qi bonus by 700%!

Seven Stars Ancient God Armor: Middle Grade Imperial Artifact, capable of defending against attacks from enemies three minor realms superior; ineffective against experts at Imperial Realm Mid-stage or higher.

Su Yu looked at his current foundation and couldn't help but shake his head.

With the improvement of these technique grades, the synthesis points required for synthesis are increasing; several billion synthesis points barely managed to raise everything by one grade.

If synthesis reaches Saint Grade in the future, wouldn't it require tens of billions, even hundreds of billions?

Just thinking about the synthesis points he'll need in the future gives Su Yu a headache.

After all, synthesis points can only be obtained by synthesizing items of Dao Grade or higher.

In other words, to obtain synthesis points, one must at least synthesize a low-grade Dao Stone to earn a single point.

It has to be said, that's rather expensive.

Forget it; after my strength increases, the resources I can obtain will also grow, so we'll talk about later matters later!

Su Yu shook his head.

Immediately afterward, Su Yu rose from the bed and stretched.

His bones emitted a crackling sound like popping beans.

After a month of sitting motionless on the bed, his body still felt somewhat stiff.

With my current strength, I am at the peak of the mid-stage Venerable Realm, my physique also at the peak of the mid-stage Venerable Realm; plus two Middle Grade Imperial Artifacts, and techniques like the Human Emperor's Technique...

My combat power has increased somewhat; with the Taiji Bagua Diagram, as long as I don't face a true Imperial Realm expert, even that middle-aged half-step Imperial Realm from before, I could slay him!

Su Yu now brimmed with confidence.

Huh?

At that moment, Su Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He glanced at the pocket in front of his chest.

Inside the pocket, the Azure Dragon's body flickered with a green light, as if an extremely suppressive aura was emanating.

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then laid layer upon layer of seals, sealing the Azure Dragon's aura within the pocket.

This little guy is also about to advance; likely within these few days.

Su Yu's lips curled into a faint smile.

If that's the case, then come with me to the God-Hunt Battle!

I don't know whether this God-Hunt Battle will bring me any surprise!

Su Yu murmured, his eyes shining even brighter.

Afterward, Su Yu took a step forward.

He walked straight out of the palace and entered the hall where Xiao Yun was.

You've come?

Xiao Yun sat above, gazing at Su Yu with a smiling squint.

Su Yu nodded.

If so, then follow me to see the Hall Master!

Xiao Yun waved his hand, taking Su Yu, and slowly walked toward where the Hall Master resided.

Within the vast palace, a towering figure sat silently there.

Below, four figures stood respectfully, motionless.

Among them were the figures of Dan Tai Nan and Chu Kuangren.

The remaining two were also Venerable Realm sword-bearers, though both were at the early stage of the Venerable Realm.

And Chu Kuangren, during this period of cultivation, had also risen to the mid-stage Venerable Realm.

Dan Tai Nan remained at the peak of the mid-stage Venerable Realm, still one step away from the late stage.

Evidently, even after a month, he still hadn't broken through.

At this moment, Dan Tai Nan was no longer as arrogant as before; perhaps because of the Hall Master's presence, he appeared exceptionally obedient.

After all, before Su Yu arrived, he was the existence that all sword-bearers feared.

He was no fool either.

His madness was directed only at peers; facing the Hall Master, Guardians, and such existences, his madness undoubtedly seemed rather foolish.

Thus, Dan Tai Nan now, like the other sword-bearers, was respectful and showed no other expression.

You've come!

Above the palace, that towering figure's eyebrows twitched slightly, the corners of his mouth hinting at a smile.

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Soon after, a respectful voice sounded.

Xiao Yun, greetings to the Third Hall Master!

Only then did Xiao Yun, bringing Su Yu, slowly walk in from outside and bow to the Third Hall Master.

Su Yu did the same.

Imitating Xiao Yun's manner, he gave a slight bow to the Third Hall Master.

The Third Hall Master waved his hand, his gaze falling on Su Yu.

Huh! Mid-stage peak; it seems that over this past month, you little guy have improved again!

The Third Hall Master looked at Su Yu with some curiosity.

Upon hearing this, the four people beside him were somewhat surprised.

Especially Tantai Nan.

One must know, when Su Yu fought Tantai Nan, Su Yu's cultivation was only at the early stage of the mid tier.

Yet in just a single month's time, he had unexpectedly reached the limit of the mid tier.

Such speed.

Even Tantai Nan, known as a madman, could not help but feel somewhat despairing.

He himself remained stuck at the cultivation he had a month ago, while Su Yu had already caught up to him in cultivation.

In combat strength, the gap had widened by a large margin.

"Not bad, not bad. At this rate, in the future Sage Realm, there will be a place for you, Su Yu!"

The Third Court Master said softly with a smile on his face.

'Hiss—'

As the Third Court Master's words rang out, sounds of gasping echoed throughout the entire hall.

Even Xiao Yun could not help but do the same.

As for the earlier words, Xiao Yun had not thought much of them.

But this one sentence...

Even Xiao Yun, who was at the peak of the Emperor Realm, could not help but be shocked.

What did this sentence mean?

One must know, even though the Central Immortal Domain had a full two-digit number of Sage Realm experts, the population of the entire Central Immortal Domain numbered a full ten trillion.

Such a tiny proportion.

Even in a top-tier power like the Blade-Wielding Court, a prodigy, no matter how monstrous, could not possibly make a Sage say to him that the Sage Realm was within reach in the future.

After all, wanting to become a Sage Realm expert was simply far too difficult.

Xiao Yun back then was also considered a top-tier monster of the Blade-Wielding Court.

He had advanced to the peak of the Emperor Realm decades ago, yet still had not broken through to the Sage Realm, which showed just how difficult the Sage Realm was.

To break through to the Sage Realm, talent might play a certain role, but it was absolutely not the most important factor; more of it was a matter of fortune and coincidence.

Yet a person who was merely at the mid tier of the Venerable Realm was unexpectedly praised so by the Third Court Master.

Even Xiao Yun could not help but be somewhat shocked.

Su Yu was momentarily stunned, looked at the Third Court Master, then scratched his head. "The Third Court Master praises me too much. This kid still has a very long way to go before the Sage Realm. I truly cannot bear such praise."

Who knew, the Third Court Master not only did not stop, but instead spoke with a face full of seriousness.

"You, Su Yu, from the peak of the Great Dao Realm to the current peak of the mid tier of the Venerable Realm, the time in between was less than a year. At such a terrifying speed, even the Boss back then was not as frightening as you."

"Yes, the Sage Realm is not so easy to advance to, and requires a certain degree of fortune and coincidence. But your kid's talent is simply too terrifying... Even though I have seen many prodigies, I have never seen a monstrous existence like you."

"In the future, as long as you do not die prematurely, stepping into the Sage Realm is but a certainty."

Everyone's bodies trembled slightly.

Especially Xiao Yun, the shock on his face was now beyond words.

He could be considered the person closest to the several Court Masters, after all, he was also one of only two people beneath the Sages of the Blade-Wielding Court.

But he had still never heard the Third Court Master give a person such high praise.

For a moment, Xiao Yun felt somewhat jealous of Su Yu in his heart.

But soon, this thought was tossed behind Xiao Yun's back.

"So what if he is a monstrous prodigy? Is he not still a Blade-Wielder under my Xiao Yun's command, hehe!"

Xiao Yun thought silently in his heart.

"Alright, if I praise you any more, the others will get jealous."

Just when Su Yu did not know how to express himself, the Third Court Master smiled faintly and put an end to this topic.

The Third Court Master looked at everyone and spoke plainly.

"The God-Hunting Battle is an event held once a year in our Central Immortal Domain, aimed at reducing the power of the divine corpse."

"The Sage Realm experts of the Central Immortal Domain join forces to weaken the power of the divine corpse, guiding the divine aura into another space, and then having you juniors enter to hunt and kill."

"This time, I do not care what rank the Blade-Wielding Court holds in the Central Immortal Domain. We Blade-Wielders must take curbing the divine corpse as our duty, to keep the world at peace."

"What you must do is not concern yourselves with how good or bad your results are, but to do your utmost to hunt down the divine incarnations!"

"Understood?"

The Third Court Master's expression gradually turned solemn as he said in a deep voice.

"Understood!"

The five people straightened their bodies slightly and spoke loudly.

After speaking, Su Yu seemed to hesitate somewhat, wanting to speak but stopping.

The Third Court Master noticed and said softly.

"Su Yu, do you have a question?"

This was only because Su Yu's talent was so terrifying that he had earned the Third Court Master's favor; otherwise, if it had been anyone else, the Third Court Master would have long been displeased.

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "May I ask the Third Court Master, if while hunting the divine incarnations, other prodigies make a move against us, are we permitted to fight back?"

As soon as these words came out, the other several Blade-Wielders also nodded one after another, looking toward the Third Court Master.

Blade-Wielders took curbing the divine corpse as their duty, to protect the common people of the world.

But the God-Hunting Battle was ultimately still a competition. If their side hunted too many divine incarnations, and the others grew envious and joined forces to attack them, what then?

It could not be that they would just watch helplessly as others made a move against them while their side did nothing.

The Third Court Master looked at everyone and spoke plainly.

"If others dare to make a move against you, kill them without mercy!"

"If any problems arise, I'll bear the responsibility for you!"

Everyone's eyes lit up slightly.

Especially Su Yu and Tantai Nan.

The former, because of the Great Wei Dynasty, made Su Yu even more eager to strike first.

The latter, purely because he wanted to compete against his peers for supremacy!

"Of course..." The Third Hall Master's tone shifted slightly. "My Blade-Wielding Hall is, after all, a neutral faction. We do not interfere in the struggles between any factions. As long as the other side does not make things difficult for you, it is still best not to act."

"After all, our Blade-Wielding Hall is an amiable faction too!"

The Third Hall Master revealed a smile, trying hard to make himself look more gentle.

But that smile, no matter how one looked at it, carried a hint of menace.

"But once some shameless wretches insist on causing trouble, beat them mercilessly for me. If you beat them to death, it's on me!"

The Third Hall Master said softly.

Hearing the Third Hall Master's words, the corners of Su Yu's mouth curved upward slightly.

"We... understand!"

Afterward, after Xiao Yun introduced the rules of the God-Hunting Battle to everyone.

The Third Hall Master waved his large hand, directly tearing apart the void. Dense energy enveloped everyone, and they disappeared from the palace.

Divine Spirit Abyss, above the Divine Spirit Mountain Range.

Towering figures stood quietly upon the void, each radiating powerful fluctuations.

The aura involuntarily emanating from their bodies alone caused the entire void to distort slightly.

Indeed, every single one of them was a powerhouse at the Saint Realm.

And behind these Saint Realm powerhouses followed young talents one after another.

Both men and women were present.

Behind a burly middle-aged man stood a young man with a gloomy complexion.

The young man's skin was extremely pale, appearing somewhat sickly.

Yet his body radiated a powerful fluctuation.

The middle-aged man turned his head, looked at the young man indifferently, and transmitted his voice.

"I don't know what your imperial father was thinking, unable to kill even a mere kid at the peak of the Law Realm. This time, if that fellow from the Blade-Wielding Hall is among them, you will strike and kill him. Remember that!"

The middle-aged man's voice carried an unquestionable tone.

The young man's body trembled slightly, his brow furrowing slightly. "But Grandfather, during the God-Hunting Battle, if someone dies, it won't be easy to handle!"

The middle-aged man sneered coldly. "During the God-Hunting Battle, even Saint Realm powerhouses don't know what happens inside. Perhaps he was killed by a divine spirit incarnation. Who can say for certain!"

"This boy is the disciple of the Azure Dragon Saint. If he does not die, he will be an endless scourge to our Great Wei!"

The middle-aged man paused his speech, looking at the young man, his eyes gradually softening.

"Your younger brother is dead. You are now the pillar of the third generation of the Great Wei Dynasty. If you handle this matter well, the future imperial lord of Great Wei will be you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the young man's body trembled violently—a trembling born of excitement.

Endless excitement surged onto the young man's face.

"Rest assured, Grandfather. This time, your grandson will not fail his mission!"

These two were none other than Qin Tianhua from the Great Wei Dynasty.

And the young man was Qin Wudao's older brother who cultivated in the Nine Nether Purgatory—Qin Wuqing!

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

Right at this moment, from within the void of the Divine Spirit Abyss came a series of faint hums.

Riiiip!

A corner of the void seemed to have been torn apart by a powerful force.

Following that, a white-haired old man slowly stepped out, and behind him followed five young men and women, each radiating powerful fluctuations.

The entire space, in the instant the golden-haired old man appeared, became somewhat rigid.

"The Holy Temple... has arrived!"
