Chapter 634: The Young Sage!

"Holy Descent!"

Accompanied by the three of them speaking in unison.

In an instant, the entire earth trembled slightly.

As if some terrifying existence was about to awaken from within the earth.

Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. For some unknown reason, beneath the earth, Su Yu actually sensed a faint trace of aura.

Moreover, as time passed, this faint aura was actually growing stronger bit by bit.

"Interesting. Something akin to a summoning array?"

Su Yu smiled faintly. The power of his divine soul swept out from his body, observing the existence below.

Through the feedback of his divine soul power, Su Yu could clearly sense that beneath the earth, threads of golden radiance were interweaving together.

Gradually, they formed a giant cocoon of light.

And within that cocoon of light, something resembling a life form seemed to emerge.

"My Holy Temple's Holy Descent should be more than enough to deal with you lot who haven't even reached the late Venerable Realm!"

Feng Lingzi exchanged blows with You Shaoqing while smiling faintly.

You Shaoqing gave a cold snort.

"Hmph, fighting me, yet you still dare to be so dismissive!"

Dark energy currents surfaced around You Shaoqing's body, and a spectral chill permeated his surroundings, as if he were an underworld specter stepping out from the Nine Netherworlds.

In contrast, golden light erupted from Feng Lingzi's body.

Like a reincarnated Buddha, he stood proudly between heaven and earth.

In an instant, he blasted out countless fist imprints, striking at You Shaoqing.

Boom boom boom!!

From above the firmament, a series of muffled rumbles echoed down.

On the other side, Zhao Xue had also clashed with Wu Ling'er.

Pink energy continuously surfaced from between Wu Ling'er's hands, replacing the power of laws.

Or rather...

This pink energy was Wu Ling'er's law!

"Truly worthy of being the Heavenly Charm Body. So powerful within the same realm!"

Zhao Xue gazed at Wu Ling'er with bright eyes.

Yet the attacks in her hands did not pause for even a moment.

She still frantically unleashed strike after strike. The spreading shockwaves of energy directly stirred faint ripples through heaven and earth.

Wu Ling'er remained expressionless.

Facing Zhao Xue's attacks, she deflected them one by one, appearing extremely relaxed.

Meanwhile, on the ground, the five members of the Blade-Wielding Court and the three from the Nine Nether Purgatory had also regrouped together.

"I've heard a thing or two about the Holy Temple's Holy Descent."

Tang Nian Bing's expression was slightly grave.

Because the aura beneath the earth was growing ever stronger—it had even reached the level of the late Venerable Realm.

The three Holy Temple disciples who had surrounded everyone were also pale-faced, as if they had paid an enormous price.

Su Yu watched the three of them calmly, his eyes flickering.

"The so-called Holy Descent is actually a collection of secret techniques practiced by the Holy Temple's disciples. By paying the price of their cultivation, they can summon a projection of a Holy Temple Sage."

"The more cultivation they sacrifice, the more powerful the Sage's projection becomes. Three Holy Temple disciples at the mid Venerable Realm could likely summon a Sage's projection at the late Venerable Realm, or even the peak Venerable Realm."

Tang Nian Bing's expression was grave as he spoke in a deep voice.

Tantai Nan beside them gave a disdainful smile. "It's just a peak Venerable Realm. What's there to fear? Could it be that with so many of us, we still can't defeat a single peak Venerable Realm expert?"

Tantai Nan was not the least bit afraid of the Holy Descent.

After all, not long ago, Su Yu had slain Qin Wuqing, a half-step Royal Realm expert.

Even though it was achieved by relying on pills.

But don't forget—that was still the half-step Royal Realm!

If even a half-step Royal Realm expert had been slain, let alone a mere peak Venerable Realm.

Tang Nian Bing glanced at Tantai Nan as if looking at a fool.

"If only it were just an ordinary peak Venerable Realm, that would be fine. The key is that the Sage's projection they summoned possesses that Sage's combat experience from this realm!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions shifted slightly.

Those who could become Sages—every one of them was a top-tier prodigy.

Or rather, peerless prodigies.

And when they were at the same realm, at the very least, they were invincible within the same realm.

Some could even fight across realms, just like Su Yu.

That was the most troublesome part!

Tantai Nan's smile grew somewhat stiff.

"Heh, even if it's a Sage, when young, it's impossible for a peak Venerable Realm to rival a Royal Realm expert... right?"

Tantai Nan was somewhat unsure of himself.

Sages were the most pinnacle existences in the Central Immortal Domain. What they were like in their youth, no one knew.

But they were absolutely top-tier prodigies.

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

At this moment, the earth trembled; if one looked down from above, the whole earth could be clearly seen surging like a tide.

It was rolling.

Please, Saint!

The three Holy Temple disciples bellowed, spraying mouthfuls of essence blood.

Their aura instantly weakened.

Yet their eyes burned with fervent passion.

It even reached the level of faith!

In an instant, the earth's tremors grew more frequent.

Damn it, it's just when the Saint was young—I still don't believe it! Could a youthful Saint of Venerable Realm really crush so many heavenly pride?

Dan Tai Nan cursed under his breath, the iron chain in his hand trembling continuously, releasing a terrifying aura.

Tang Nian Bing ignored Dan Tai Nan, fixing his gaze on Su Yu.

At this moment, Su Yu was like a thinker, stroking his chin as he gazed at the earth, wondering what he was thinking.

Su Yu, do you have any plan?

Tang Nian Bing couldn't help but ask.

It felt as if, at this moment, they had returned to the Myriad Races Continent.

Back then, Su Yu was also their mainstay.

Now, though the place has changed, the person remains the same.

Su Yu remains their mainstay.

When in doubt, ask Su Yu.

This is a habit Tang Nian Bing cultivated on the Myriad Races Continent.

Su Yu gave the earth a deep glance, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting.

Alright, stay put—I'll take care of it.

Su Yu spoke softly.

Huh?

Everyone was stunned; they hadn't expected Su Yu to answer that way.

Dan Tai Nan's brows slightly furrowed.

Su Yu, be careful. After all, you're just a youthful Saint—we don't know the opponent's details; if we act rashly...

Before Dan Tai Nan could finish, Su Yu cut him off.

Don't worry!

Su Yu's soft voice rang out.

Immediately, the earth violently split open with ferocious fissures, and golden light burst forth in an instant.

It illuminated the heavens and earth.

Feng Lingzi and Zhao Xue both noticed the situation here.

Feng Lingzi, maintaining his composure, gave a slight bow toward the golden light.

Feng Lingzi, greetings to the Saint!

Zhao Xue, greetings to the Saint!

Both of their faces burned with fervor.

A moment.

Beneath the fissure, a phantom slowly emerged.

A golden phantom.

Looking closely, one could see it took the form of a youth.

Although it was a youth, when the youth opened his eyes, an air of vicissitude gradually surfaced.

Boom—!!!

The youth opened his eyes; the void trembled as a terrifying surge suddenly erupted.

In that roar, a cultivation of late-stage Venerable Realm burst forth instantly.

Although it is late-stage Venerable Realm cultivation, compared to ordinary late-stage Venerable Realm cultivators, the former is like a vast sea while the latter is merely a pond.

The difference is enormous!

I never expected it to be the Vice Hall Master's youthful apparition—too bad it isn't the Hall Master's apparition!

Feng Lingzi gazed at the youth's phantom and smiled slightly.

He turned and continued to entangle with You Shaoqing.

You Shaoqing's glance fell on the youth, his heart sinking slightly.

The phantom of the Saint's youth... are they opponents of the Saint's phantom?

You Shaoqing glanced at Su Yu's group, feeling a bit uneasy.

On Wu Ling'er's expressionless face, a hint of worry began to appear.

Su Yu elder brother...

Soon, Wu Ling'er's expression disappeared.

However, Zhao Xue could feel that Wu Ling'er's attacks had grown fiercer, as if she sought to break free from her entanglement to aid Su Yu and the others.

I won't let you get your wish!

Zhao Xue giggled, shifting from her usual fierce offense to defense.

In an instant, the battle grew even more intense.

On the ground, Su Yu walked forward slowly, looking at the Saint's phantom standing in the void, hands in his pockets, with a faint smile.

"Is this the Saint's phantom? It looks like nothing special!"

Su Yu turned his head, waved at Tang Nian Bing and the others, and said.

"Alright, you guys stop watching the show, go to where the Divine Spirit Avatar is, wait for it to hatch, and be sure to kill it!"

The battlefield has never been just a fight between the three of them.

There is also a Divine Spirit Avatar of the Half-step Emperor Realm about to hatch.

Only by slaying that Half-step Emperor Realm Divine Spirit Avatar can the God-hunting Space be opened.

The conflict with the Holy Hall is nothing more than something Feng Lingzi stirred up himself.

"This Su Yu is really too arrogant, although he is a disciple of the Azure Dragon Saint,"

"but he's only at mid-stage Venerable Realm cultivation—how could he possibly be a match for a Saint in their youth!"

A disciple of the Nine Netherworld Purgatory couldn't help but say.

"Yeah, and this is still a projection of a Saint at late-stage Venerable Realm; even some peak Venerable Realm powerhouses might not be a match, yet Su Yu actually wants to take it on alone?"

"That's right, even if Mingzi makes a move, they might not be able to defeat the Saint's projection!"

The two whispered to each other.

Tang Nian Bing gave the two an icy glance and let out a cold snort.

"If you can't speak, don't speak!"

"Since Su Yu let us go over, he naturally has his confidence; don't let your ignorance override others!"

Tang Nian Bing spoke coldly.

The two's faces instantly flushed red.

But facing Tang Nian Bing, they didn't dare to talk back.

Tang Nian Bing is not only Mingnu's close friend, but also a disciple of King Yama, making her status higher than theirs.

"Alright, now is not the time to discuss whether Su Yu is the Saint's projection; slaying the Divine Spirit Avatar is what matters most!"

"Those guys from the Blade-wielding Hall have already rushed over."

Tang Nian Bing said lightly.

The two looked over.

Indeed, the Blade-wielding Hall members led by Dan Tai Nan quickly rushed toward the black egg.

"They... aren't worried about Su Yu?"

A disciple of the Nine Netherworld Purgatory said blankly.

Tang Nian Bing looked at Dan Tai Nan and the others, as if recalling when she and Su Yu were still at Qianlong Academy.

Back then, they were like this, not having to worry about Su Yu either!

"Rather than talk about others, let's take action!"

Tang Nian Bing spoke lightly.

"Let's go; although we're temporarily allied, we should still try to secure the first kill if we can!"

"After all... I count myself as a member of the Nine Netherworld Purgatory too!"

Tang Nian Bing murmured, holding a sharp blade, stepping onto the void, and rushed forward quickly.

The remaining two disciples of the Nine Netherworld Purgatory exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and still followed behind Tang Nian Bing.

For a moment, on the ground, only Su Yu and the Saint's projection remained.

Su Yu had a smile on his lips, squinting as he looked at the Saint's projection before him.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

Su Yu shouted at the Saint's projection.

The Saint's projection seemed to hear Su Yu's voice, its indifferent eyes falling on him.

Between heaven and earth, it seemed there was a sense of oppression pressing toward Su Yu.

However, Su Yu seemed unfazed, still wearing a faint smile as he stared directly at the Saint's projection.

"One person, just to block me?"

The Saint's projection looked at Su Yu without expression.

"The younger generation these days is really too arrogant!"

A grand voice rang out from the youth's mouth.

Like a divine Buddha.

In the flip of the youth's palm, he fiercely pressed down on the spot where Su Yu stood.

The palm print surged, and ripples appeared in the void.

"Holy Buddha Seal!"

The youth gave a low shout.

Late-stage Venerable Realm cultivation erupted with a boom, and the surging Law Power surged wildly.

It surged into that golden palm print, fiercely suppressing Su Yu.

Boom—!!!

In an instant, the entire ground exploded, countless dust obscuring everyone's vision.

As the youth's palm fell, his gaze showed no hesitation, landing on the few people rushing toward the Divine Spirit Avatar.

"Law Power, a force I haven't felt in a long time.... feels not bad."

"These little brats... want to get the first kill?"

"Too bad, this time's first place can only be someone from my Holy Hall!"

The youth murmured, just about to walk toward the position of a few people.

Suddenly, a teasing voice came from behind the youth.

"Is this the young saint? He looks, not as strong as the legends say!"

The youth's body stiffened slightly, he abruptly turned around, and in his weathered gaze, a rare hint of doubt appeared.

Only to see, a youth in white clothes had somehow stood behind him at some point, his face bearing an eternal, unchanging smile.

"Next... it's my turn!"
