Chapter 655: Saint Realm Second Heaven!

Imperial Realm Peak!

Su Yu's aura, at this moment, instantly reached a terrifying state.

You should know, Su Yu today just rose from Imperial Realm Mid to Imperial Realm Late.

Moreover, he relied on the power of the Devouring Stone.

However, at the same time today, Su Yu not only raised his cultivation to Imperial Realm Peak, but also elevated his physical body to Imperial Realm Peak as well.

He directly crossed two minor realms.

Generally speaking, upon reaching the Imperial Realm, even wanting to advance a single minor realm is extremely difficult.

Even so, some people, even after breaking through the Imperial Realm, may possibly remain stuck in the Imperial Realm for their entire lives.

Just like a certain Grand Elder of the Bai Family before.

Even though the Bai Family possesses many resources, they still remained in Imperial Realm Mid for dozens of years without breaking through to Imperial Realm Late.

Clearly, Su Yu's rate of advancement is how terrifying.

From the peak of the Venerable Realm to now the Imperial Realm Peak, he has outright crossed a major realm.

Su Yu also merely used less than two months' time.

Such terrifying speed, looking across the entire Central Immortal Realm, probably no one could achieve it.

Even with the aid of the Nine Abyss Pool and the Sword Execution Realm.

But why can't others, yet only Su Yu can?

Just this point alone is enough to show how terrifying Su Yu's talent is.

An Imperial Realm Peak expert, within the Central Immortal Realm, can already establish a second-rate force.

Generally speaking, any force that has an Imperial Realm expert can be considered a third-rate force in the Central Immortal Realm.

Those forces that don't even have an Imperial Realm expert can only be considered unranked forces.

Forces garrisoned by an Imperial Realm Peak expert are called second-rate forces.

Forces garrisoned by a Saint Realm expert are called first-rate forces.

As for top-tier forces....

Not only do they need more than three Imperial Realm experts, they also need an expert above the Imperial Realm Seventh Heaven.

And this is merely the surface-level battle strength.

A genuine top-tier force can far exceed this.

At the very least, they must have an Imperial Realm Ninth Heaven expert garrisoned to completely secure their position as a top-tier force.

Su Yu now, if he were to establish his own force in the Central Immortal Realm, would at least be considered a second-rate force.

He would truly be counted among the top-tier echelon of the Central Immortal Realm.

However, this is not yet finished.

Even though Su Yu's cultivation has already reached the terrifying Imperial Realm Peak, the energy within the Sword Execution Realm has not dissipated at all.

On the contrary, it continually flows into Su Yu's body.

The palace halls have completely vanished.

The entire Sword Execution Realm seems to have turned into a sea of stars, with Su Yu's body seated cross-legged upon that star sea.

Behind him, that crimson silhouette also stands silently behind Su Yu.

Upon that phantom, there are also enormous vortices.

The vortices continuously spin, absorbing energy from the star sea.

Roar!!!

The Little Azure Dragon crawled out from Su Yu's pocket, gazing at the vast starry sky, its tiny eyes showing delight.

"Little Azure Dragon..."

Su Wu Ming looked at the Little Azure Dragon in Su Yu's pocket, a flicker of memory passing through his eyes.

Back then, I myself seemed to have carried the childhood Azure Dragon Saint, step by step, to the peak of the Central Immortal Realm.

"If that's the case, then I'll grant you a fortune!"

Su Wu Ming gave a slight smile.

He slowly extended a finger, lightly tapping the Little Azure Dragon's forehead.

Azure light flickered upon the Little Azure Dragon's forehead.

Then it transformed into a patch of azure dragon scale.

The dragon scale shimmered, as a small portion of the energy from the vast star sea continually poured into the Little Azure Dragon's body.

With a boom, the Little Azure Dragon let out a dragon roar.

Roar!

Dragon roars echoed, the Little Azure Dragon's body instantly became immensely huge, coiling between heaven and earth.

Absorbing energy from the star sea, its aura surged violently.

Time trickled by bit by bit.

Meanwhile, outside the Sword Execution Realm.

Five Saints and the Azure Dragon Saint waited silently.

"You say, can Su Yu, upon entering the Sword Execution Realm, break into the Saint Realm?"

Jun Xiao asked with interest.

The Second Pavilion Master crossed his arms and said lightly, "My little junior brother has extraordinary talent; perhaps he really can break into the Saint Realm."

"Then wouldn't that mean my Sword Execution Pavilion will have a sixth Pavilion Master born!"

The Fifth Pavilion Master's face flashed with a hint of excitement.

Then I don't have to be the bottom one!

The Grand Hall Master's mouth twitched slightly.

Good fellow, everyone else envies Su Yu's talent.

You, on the other hand, are excited at the thought of not having to be the bottom.

Your brain circuits are big enough.

The Azure Dragon Saint said out of the blue, "It's also possible that even after Su Yu breaks through, you'll still be the bottom!"

Fifth Hall Master:.....

His mouth twitched, somewhat unconvinced: "Impossible! I'm a powerhouse at the Third Heaven of the Saint Realm; even if Su Yu breaks through, he'd at most reach the First Heaven. How could I be the bottom?"

The Fourth Hall Master glanced sideways at the Fifth Hall Master and said lightly, "Looks like you've forgotten Su Yu's terrifying combat power."

The Fifth Hall Master fell silent for a moment, still stubbornly saying, "It's not certain; although Su Yu's combat power is terrifying, could he possibly fight above his level even after reaching the Saint Realm?"

"Don't forget, once you reach the Saint Realm, the gap between one heaven isn't so easily made up."

Although he said that, the Fifth Hall Master still harbored some doubt.

What if... after Su Yu breaks through, he really can thrash me—what should I do?

Could it be that I, one of the first to reach the Saint Realm, would be thrashed by a junior?

For a moment, the Fifth Hall Master's heart sank into self-doubt.

Time kept flowing.

In the blink of an eye, another half month had passed.

In the Star Sea, the originally immense energy had already gradually dissipated by more than half.

Su Yu remained sitting quietly on the Star Sea, although his realm was still the Peak of the Imperial Realm.

But the aura emanating from Su Yu's body was immensely powerful.

And beside Su Yu, the Little Azure Dragon's body had grown large, curled up together.

On its forehead, the blue scales shone even more brightly.

At this moment, the Little Azure Dragon's cultivation had reached the terrifying Late Imperial Realm.

It was only half a step away from the Peak of the Imperial Realm.

It must be said that, under the nourishment of such immense energy in the Star Sea, the Little Azure Dragon's combat power had also received a tremendously terrifying boost.

The Dragon Clan's fleshly body is inherently immensely strong, equivalent to body cultivators of the same realm.

Once the Little Azure Dragon breaks through to the Peak of the Imperial Realm, even when facing a Half-Step Saint Realm powerhouse, it can slay them.

If it's a First Heaven of the Saint Realm, although it can't defeat them, it can still hold its own for a moment or two.

Time trickled by.

Su Wu Ming remained seated cross-legged in the Void, though his illusory image had begun to fade gradually.

Perhaps not long from now, Su Wu Ming's illusory image will disappear.

However, in Su Wu Ming's gaze toward Su Yu, the color of expectation grew ever deeper.

Roar!

Just then, the Little Azure Dragon suddenly let out a deafening dragon roar.

The cultivation within its body, like a tide, instantly spread outward.

A cultivation unique to the Peak of the Imperial Realm instantly burst forth.

Boom—!!

The aura trembled, stirring up wave after wave.

A hint of excitement flickered in the Little Azure Dragon's eyes, and finally its body trembled slightly.

It actually directly transformed into the form of a small child, obediently crouching beside Su Wu Ming.

Su Wu Ming smiled, stroked the Little Azure Dragon's head, and said, "Your talent doesn't compare to Su Yu's; the Peak of the Imperial Realm is already your limit this time. If you want to enter the Saint Realm, you still need some opportunity."

The Little Azure Dragon hehehed a laugh, not angry about failing to break through to the Saint Realm.

It simply obediently crouched beside Su Wu Ming, gazing fervently at Su Yu.

"Can Big Brother break through?"

The Little Azure Dragon asked.

Dragon Clan powerhouses, upon reaching the Imperial Realm, can all transform into human form.

However, the Little Dragon had grown accustomed to staying in Su Yu's pocket and had not actively transformed.

But now that it has broken through to the Peak of the Imperial Realm, if it were to always appear in its true form, it would easily cause chaos in the Void.

It could only take on a human form.

Su Wu Ming looked at Su Yu, smiling at the corners of his mouth, "My son... entering a Saint Realm, what difficulty could there be?"

Although he didn't explain anything, Su Wu Ming's supremely confident tone already indicated some things.

The Little Azure Dragon, half-understanding, nodded slightly and waited quietly.

No one knew how long had passed.

Su Yu, who had been sitting cross-legged on the Star Sea all along, suddenly opened his eyes.

The scarlet illusory image behind him also snapped open its eyes at the instant Su Yu opened his.

Boom—!!!

At this moment, the Void emitted a rumbling sound.

In the Star Sea, endless power surged frenziedly into Su Yu's body.

On Su Yu's body, the black Devouring Stars flickered with a deep black light.

Moreover, there were also scarlet Breaking Stars, likewise flickering.

Amid the rumble, Su Yu's body was like a bottomless pit, continuously accommodating many energies.

And Su Yu's aura, accompanied by the influx of these energies, surged instantly.

In merely an instant, Su Yu's aura had completely surpassed the peak of the Imperial Realm.

On Su Yu's body, a huge chain suddenly appeared.

On the chain, there were terrifying fluctuations, as if sealing something.

Su Wu Ming gazed at the chain on Su Yu's body and spoke in a deep voice.

"Su Yu, to enter the Saint Realm, you must break your own shackles!"

"The human body is the most exquisite constitution between heaven and earth. The Heavenly Dao has laid ten layers of prohibitions, sealing the human limit; each time a layer is broken, one's strength gains a terrifying boost."

"This is the origin of the Nine Heavens of the Saint Realm!"

Su Yu seemed to have heard Su Wu Ming's words and nodded slightly.

The scarlet illusory figure behind him suddenly clenched its fist, and the surging stellar power instantly blasted a fierce punch at Su Yu's body.

Boom—!!

Terrifying energy wildly erupted on Su Yu's body.

Su Yu's face instantly turned incredibly ferocious.

The shackles are inherent in the human body; to break them, one must also endure excruciating pain.

If one cannot bear it, they will fail.

Lightly, cultivation regresses; heavily, one perishes and the Dao vanishes.

This is also why, among the Central Immortal Domain, the scarcity of Saint Realm experts is one of the reasons.

Many people, when they lack absolute certainty, will never forcibly break the shackles.

This makes it easy to suffer injuries that are hard to reverse.

But Su Yu, from an ordinary person to now, relies not only on cultivation.

And also that unyielding perseverance!

Su Yu let out a muffled grunt, and a surging physical power emerged on his body.

Externally, the illusory figure wildly struck the chain; internally, the physical power continually assaulted it.

Only a moment's time.

Accompanied by a clear rumbling sound.

The huge shackle originally locked on Su Yu's body instantly collapsed.

With the shatter of the shackles, terrifying energy spontaneously surged within Su Yu's body.

Even the surrounding void surged wildly.

Finally, a smile appeared on Su Wu Ming's face.

"Success!"

Only seen, Su Yu slowly rose to his feet, an aura unique to Saint Realm experts gradually emanating from within his body.

"Hmm?"

Su Wu Ming watched Su Yu's action, just about to congratulate, his brows slightly furrowed.

"What does that mean?"

Only seen, the Su Yu who had just risen seemed to think of something and actually sat cross-legged again.

The scarlet illusory figure behind him again raised its fist and fiercely blasted a punch at Su Yu's body.

And on Su Yu's body, a brand-new shackle reappeared!

"Hiss!"

Seeing Su Yu's action, Su Wu Ming couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

Su Yu actually intended to shatter the second shackle!

Know that no one dares to continuously smash several shackles.

Even Su Wu Ming back then broke them one by one.

Yet Su Yu, having just broken through to the Saint Realm, actually intends to shatter the second shackle!

This truly exceeds the imagination of an existence like Su Wu Ming.

Boom—!!

Terrifying energy wildly struck the shackles on Su Yu's body.

Amid the rumble, the originally extremely sturdy shackles, under Su Yu's continual bombardment,

actually developed cracks bit by bit.

Only the time of half an incense stick.

The second shackle instantly collapsed!

Again, a surging power spontaneously emerged from within Su Yu's body.

It filled his cultivation.

At this moment, Su Yu's cultivation surged again, directly breaking from the First Heaven of the Saint Realm to the Second Heaven!

Su Yu slowly rose to his feet and blasted a punch at the void.

The originally tranquil illusory figure was instantly blasted open a huge gap, the void bursting forth.

"This... is this the power of the Saint Realm!"

Su Yu looked satisfied at his own fist, his face breaking into an excited smile.
