Chapter 651: Blade Execution Realm!

In the pitch‑black void.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a phantom of an elder in black robes, seated cross‑legged before him, staring intently at him.

"So alike, truly alike, it's just too alike!"

The elder's phantom kept staring at Su Yu while murmuring.

Su Yu was left a bit bewildered by the elder's voice.

He stared blankly at the elder before him.

Suddenly, the elder reached out, seized Su Yu's arm, and Su Yu felt a cold energy flow along the elder's arm into his own body.

Su Yu was startled; he realized that this power surged into his body without him noticing the slightest thing!

He couldn't even resist the force within it.

This made Su Yu feel uneasy.

Fortunately, the energy seemed to pose no harm to Su Yu.

The elder slowly returned to his original spot, gazing at Su Yu, his weathered eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Hahaha!!"

Suddenly, the elder burst into a mad laugh.

"Never thought it, never thought it—your descendant actually became one of my Nine Nether Refinery's people!"

"I may be inferior in many ways, but the Nine Nether Refinery I founded surpasses your Blade Execution Court!"

Su Yu looked at the elder before him and fell silent for a moment.

Although he didn't know what the elder was saying, Su Yu understood one thing: the old fellow seemed to consider himself a person of the Nine Nether Refinery.

After a hesitation, Su Yu said in a deep voice, "Senior, I... am not a person of the Nine Nether Refinery..."

The smile on the elder's face instantly stiffened.

"What???"

"You're not a person of the Nine Nether Refinery, so why are you in my Nine Nether Pool???"

The elder spoke with puzzlement.

Su Yu pondered briefly, "Well... my teacher made a small transaction with someone from the Nine Nether Refinery..."

"Who is your teacher??"

"It's the Azure Dragon Sage!"

Elder: …

A moment of silence passed between them, then the elder let out a roar.

"Damn Azure Dragon, you don't act like a son!"

The elder roared, and the entire space trembled continuously from his roar.

"No wonder you're hanging out with that guy Su Wu Ming; you're not a good person either! I've already left, and you still damn block me!"

Listening to the elder's roar, Su Yu dared not speak.

Although he had already broken through the Imperial Realm, compared with the elder—even if the latter was only a phantom—Su Yu felt threatened.

He was certainly not the elder's match.

Meanwhile, within the Divine Mountain Range.

"A Qiu!"

The Azure Dragon sneezed and rubbed his nose.

"Damn, I'm at least a Ninth Heaven cultivator, and I still catch a cold!"

The Azure Dragon looked around suspiciously and shook his head.

"Nobody's scolding me, right??"

The Azure Dragon murmured.

A moment later.

Inside the void.

An elder and a youth fell into silence.

Finally, the elder broke the silence.

"Damn it, consider it a debt I owe Su Wu Ming!"

The elder, as if having made a decision, gave Su Yu a deep glance and said lightly.

"Close your eyes, circulate the Human Emperor Resolve, and await my transmission!"

Hearing the elder's words, Su Yu's body quivered slightly.

Su Yu stared at the elder in shock.

"What's going on? How does this person know I bear the Human Emperor Resolve??"

Su Yu's heart was already roiled with tumultuous waves.

It should be known that the Human Emperor Resolve has never existed in the Central Immortal Realm; it is forged in the Synthesis Slot.

Why.....

Before Su Yu could comprehend, the elder's finger had already landed on Su Yu's forehead.

Immediately, Su Yu felt an extremely turbulent energy surge into his body.

Accompanying it was endless profound information.

Su Yu's body trembled slightly as the Human Emperor Resolve inside him began to circulate involuntarily.

Simultaneously, the Chaotic Refinement Body Resolve also started to circulate.

Boom—!!

Surging energy raged wildly inside Su Yu, continuously ravaging him.

In an instant.

Su Yu could distinctly feel his cultivation suddenly skyrocketing.

Su Yu tightly closed his eyes, continuously circulating his cultivation.

After an unknown amount of time, the Qi in Su Yu's body also began to gradually wane.

Moments later, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, and an extremely terrifying wave instantly spread outward.

Boom—!!!

The void trembled, emitting a series of booming sounds.

A dreadful aura instantly permeated.

Emperor Realm... Mid-stage!

Not only his cultivation, but even Su Yu's bodily cultivation fully reached the Mid-stage Emperor Realm!

"My cultivation..."

Su Yu felt his cultivation with a hint of bewilderment.

He had only been lightly tapped by the old man's finger, yet he had broken through!

Such a terrifying ability...

Su Yu slowly looked at the old man before him.

At this moment, the old man's ethereal image began to grow exceedingly dim.

The old man gave Su Yu a faint glance and said irritably, "Damn it, being tricked by Su Wu Ming when I was young was one thing, but being tricked even in old age—consider it a cheap deal for you!"

Although Su Yu was somewhat puzzled, he respectfully stood up and gave the old man a slight bow for his guidance.

"Thank you, senior, for the instruction!"

The old man waved his hand with a hint of annoyance.

"Enough, enough, you damn and your old man are of the same sort, just looking at you is irritating."

"Remember, today you receive my favor; if anything happens in the Nine Nether Furnace in the future, you will need to intervene!"

"Got it?"

The old man spoke calmly.

Su Yu nodded.

Then the old man waved his hand again and directly teleported Su Yu out.

When Su Yu's figure vanished from this space, the old man slowly looked upward, murmuring.

"It seems that guy's seal is about to be broken; otherwise why would the Azure Dragon be so anxious, it's only the Emperor Realm..."

The old man's voice gradually grew lighter.

Then it dissipated into the heavens and earth.

Nine Nether Furnace.

The three Nether Kings stared intently at the void of the Nine Nether Pool.

Moments later, the void trembled slightly, and Su Yu's figure appeared within the three's sight.

"Mid-stage Emperor Realm... indeed!"

The three exchanged glances, showing ecstatic expressions, not even greeting Jun Xiao.

In an instant, they flashed into the Nine Nether Pool.

"Little friend!"

The Second Nether King smiled warmly at Su Yu.

Su Yu had just emerged and hadn't figured out the situation when he saw the Second Nether King, looking childlike, grinning and rubbing his hands.

"Senior..."

Su Yu knew the Second Nether King was a Saint Realm strongman, so he had naturally heard of him.

"Um... did you see the Old Ancestor?"

The Second Nether King asked excitedly.

"Is that old man the Old Ancestor of the Nine Nether Furnace?"

Su Yu pondered.

Then he nodded.

Seeing Su Yu nod, the three Nether Kings instantly rejoiced.

The Second Nether King hurriedly asked, "Little friend, what did the Old Ancestor say?"

Immediately, Su Yu told the Second Nether King what had happened inside.

"Will you help the Nine Nether Furnace in the future..."

The Second Nether King's expression showed slight surprise.

Su Yu's talent is excellent, but currently he is only at the Emperor Realm, not even Saint Realm.

Let alone assisting the Nine Nether Furnace.

"However, the Old Ancestor's words must have his own purpose!"

The Second Nether King seemed to have decided something, stared seriously at Su Yu, and said in a deep voice.

"Little friend, from now on the Nine Nether Furnace is willing to be forever friends with you!"

"Your matters are my Nine Nether Furnace's matters; please, little friend, do not delay!"

The Second Nether King solemnly spoke.

At that moment, Jun Xiao's figure also slowly appeared nearby, looking at Zheng Zhong's three Nether Kings, and couldn't help but give a faint smile.

"Didn't expect, you kid actually managed to meet the Elder Ancestor of the Nine Nether Inferno."

"Fine, since you're out, come with me back. Over at the Holy Temple, Senior Qinglong can't wait!"

Jun Xiao spoke softly.

The Second Nether King's eyebrows twitched slightly, "The Holy Temple's response is hard to gauge; Saint Qinglong taking a junior to the Holy Temple—could there be danger? Perhaps I should go along!"

Jun Xiao said helplessly, "My elder brother also said so, but Senior Qinglong wouldn't allow it."

The Second Nether King could only shake his head helplessly.

"Very well, Qinglong must have his own plan. In that case, we won't keep the two of you!"

Then he looked at Su Yu and said softly, "Junior, you must be careful of the Holy Temple's people; they're not simple!"

Su Yu's eyebrows lifted slightly, and he nodded.

Afterward, Su Yu followed behind Jun Xiao, slowly disappearing into the Nine Nether Inferno.

When the two left, the Third Nether King frowned and said gravely, "Second brother, are we really going to be bound with the Blade Execution Court?"

The Second Nether King said calmly, "Since it's the Elder Ancestor's will, we shall follow his words."

"After all... the Elder Ancestor was best at deducing heavenly mechanisms!"

"I suppose... there's something different about this little fellow!"

The Second Nether King murmured softly.

Blade Execution Court, heavens and earth.

Within a massive palace.

Five Court Masters of the Blade Execution Court sat quietly on their chairs, and beneath them stood Su Yu.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Mid-stage Imperial Realm—so soon, and already advanced to this level; does the Nine Nether Inferno really let that happen!"

The Second Court Master looked at Su Yu and said enviously.

One should know that when he first emerged from the Nine Nether Pool, he had only just broken through the Imperial Realm.

Unexpectedly, Su Yu directly broke through to the Mid-stage Imperial Realm.

At this speed, even he felt a bit envious.

"You envy a spade!"

At that moment, a coarse, booming voice erupted in the void.

The Second Court Master's complexion tightened slightly.

Immediately after, Saint Qinglong's phantom slowly appeared within the palace.

"Teacher!"

"Senior!"

Everyone bowed to Qinglong one after another, even the Grand Court Master was no exception.

"Since you've broken through, you can also accompany me to the Holy Temple!"

Saint Qinglong glanced at Su Yu and said with some admiration.

"Not bad, not bad, it seems that old immortal is quite generous."

Saint Qinglong looked at Su Yu with satisfaction.

Su Yu's pupils flickered slightly as he looked at Qinglong, seeming to want to say something.

But he was interrupted by Qinglong's telepathic voice.

"I know what you want to ask, kid, but now isn't the time for those questions; when you break through the Saint Realm, I will tell you myself."

Hearing Qinglong's telepathic voice, Su Yu's body trembled slightly.

He then fell silent.

Because it was a telepathic transmission, the five Saints of the Blade Execution Court naturally could not hear.

The Grand Court Master looked at Saint Qinglong and said softly, "Senior Qinglong, when do you plan to go to the Holy Temple?"

Qinglong glanced at Su Yu, pondered briefly, "The Holy Temple isn't urgent; if I recall correctly, the Blade Execution Realm is about to open!"

The Grand Court Master's eyebrows lifted slightly as he looked at Saint Qinglong, "You mean..."

The Grand Court Master's gaze fell again on Su Yu.

"Although Su Yu is now at Mid-stage Imperial Realm, you know those turtle‑offspring at the Holy Temple have ill intentions; if I went alone, I could retreat safely."

"But adding Su Yu might cause some trouble."

The Grand Court Master's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Senior, even if the Blade Execution Realm opens, Su Yu cannot break through the Saint Realm; isn't that forcing growth?" Bi Qu Ge

Su Yu stood aside, not understanding what the two were discussing.

Saint Qinglong smiled lightly, "The thing about forcing growth—Su Wu Ming is the one who excels at it."

"Don't worry, letting Su Yu go in will naturally solve it!"

"If problems arise, I'll take responsibility!"

Saint Qinglong said confidently.

The Grand Court Master fell silent again, seeming to weigh the pros and cons,

"Senior, I still feel something's off; Su Yu has just advanced to Mid-stage Imperial Realm, and entering the Blade Execution Realm won't give much advancement."

"The Founder's approval isn't that easy to obtain."

The Blade Execution Realm is one of the foundations of the Blade Execution Court; within it resides the consciousness of the Court's Founder, and gaining any one's approval there brings many benefits.

Even a leap to the heavens isn't impossible; even the Grand Court Master originally relied on the Blade Execution Realm to break through the Saint Realm.

However, obtaining any one's approval is extremely difficult.

Moreover, no one gets only one chance; the Grand Court Master originally thought to wait until Su Yu settled at the Imperial Realm pinnacle for a while.

Let Su Yu enter again, and perhaps he could then step into the Saint Realm.

But if he were to enter now, even if he could obtain that person's approval, the degree of improvement would not be too high.

At most, he would only reach the peak of the Imperial Realm.

Wanting to enter the Saint Realm is basically impossible, unless Su Yu can obtain the other party's inheritance.

However, the Blade-Wielding Realm has been open for so many years, yet no one has ever truly obtained that party's approval.

Even the Grand Hall Master back then only received half of that person's approval.

The Azure Dragon Saint seemed to see through the Grand Hall Master's thoughts, took a deep look at him, and sent a mental transmission to the Grand Hall Master.

"If I say.... Su Yu is Su Wu Ming's son, what then?"
