Chapter 660

Third Heaven!

Only a quarter of an hour's time, Su Yu's cultivation instantly surged from the Second Heaven to the Third Heaven.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, with a gleam flashing in his pupils.

"The power of the Holy Mountain is actually even richer than the Nine Nether Pool in the Nine Nether Purgatory!"

Su Yu's face showed a slight surprise.

Indeed, as one of the foundations of the Holy Palace, the Holy Mountain naturally would not be weaker than the Nine Nether Pool.

But don't forget.

Just now the Grand Elder's fall, the Holy Rain descended, and it directly nourished the Holy Mountain.

Thus the Holy Mountain's energy became even richer.

This also caused the reason Su Yu could break through to the Third Heaven so quickly.

"Now I... my strength is greater; even against a Sixth Heaven expert, I could slay them!"

Su Yu's face showed a smile, his peripheral glance at the base of the Holy Mountain as he rubbed his chin.

"The people of the Holy Palace probably didn't say how long I can cultivate here, right?"

"If that's the case... if I don't drain you dry, I'm not surnamed Su!"

Su Yu hehe laughed, then sat cross-legged again, the Human Emperor Technique constantly circulating within his body.

Now the Human Emperor Technique has completely unlocked all its techniques.

The absorption speed is now ten times that before!

Moreover...

Buzz—buzz—buzz!!

Su Yu's finger moved slightly, and a series of seals were instantly imprinted at various positions on the Holy Mountain.

And that position turned out to be the location of the Nine Heavens Gathering Spirit Formation!

In a boom.

Each seal flashed with bursts of golden light.

In an instant, the energy within the Holy Mountain, as if summoned, surged madly into Su Yu's body.

Plus, under the effect of the Human Emperor Technique.

At this moment, Su Yu's energy absorption speed directly rivals dozens of times that of a Third Heaven expert!

Rumble—rumble—rumble!!!

Within Su Yu's body, it seemed as if roaring sounds were continuously exploding.

Immediately after, his internal aura surged.

Behind him, that scarlet phantom gradually became more substantial.

At the same time, beneath the Holy Mountain.

The Holy Palace Master glanced at the changes in the Holy Mountain, his brows slightly furrowed, but ultimately he said nothing.

Only the Vice Master wanted to speak but held back.

He glanced at the Master, then couldn't help but send a mental transmission: 'Master, the commotion Su Yu is causing on the Holy Mountain is not small; are we just going to let him absorb the Holy Mountain's energy?'

You must know, the Holy Mountain, like the Nine Nether Pool, does not have infinite energy.

Once the Holy Mountain's energy is completely absorbed, the entire Holy Mountain would need to recover its current state.

At least it would take hundreds or even thousands of years.

This is not a situation the Vice Master wants to see.

The Holy Palace Master shook his head and said lightly, 'Let him absorb; I just don't believe a mere Third Heaven could possibly drain my Holy Mountain's energy.'

A faint cold smile curled at the corner of the Holy Palace Master's mouth: 'Moreover, we happen to need time now; the longer Su Yu cultivates, the more advantageous it is for us.'

The Vice Master's brows twitched slightly, but seeing Su Yu selfishly absorbing energy that should belong to the Holy Palace, he felt some irritation.

The Holy Palace Master soothed the Vice Master, saying softly, 'Alright, once the old ancestor attains the Divine Realm, the Holy Mountain's energy will be nothing more than a word from him.'

"What we need to do now is prevent those two from discovering what's happening over there; the longer the time, the higher the old ancestor's chance of success."

Having received the Holy Palace Master's reassurance, the Vice Master's mood finally calmed.

However, when he looked toward the direction of the Holy Mountain, a hint of killing intent still flickered in his eyes.

At the same time.

Above the God-Suppressing Mountain Range.

Two figures slowly appeared.

One white-haired middle-aged man stood barefoot in the void, his expression indifferent, as if he had no emotions at all.

Beside the white-haired middle-aged man, a pallid middle-aged man revealed a strange smile.

He was none other than Qin Tianhua.

However, the current Qin Tianhua seems no longer the former Qin Tianhua.

"Holy Spirit Child, to break through the Divine Realm one must absorb divine power, but now the entire Central Immortal Realm has utterly lacked any divine power."

"To obtain divine power, the only way is to refine my arm!"

Qin Tianhua looked at the Holy Spirit Child, his voice full of temptation.

The Holy Spirit Child glanced indifferently at Qin Tianhua: 'You just want me to help you break your seal, huh? All these years you haven't emerged from Su Wu Ming's seal.'

"Could I possibly not do it?"

Qin Tianhua smiled faintly: 'Nowadays, my true body has already broken ninety percent of the internal seal.'

"Although I don't want to admit it, that fellow Su Wu Ming indeed has something."

"If I want to break the seal, I can only rely on external power."

"When the time comes, my true body and the outside world will act together, and naturally we can break the seal."

Sheng Lingzi listened to Qin Tianhua's words, and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

"When your true body breaks the seal, how will you guarantee my Holy Temple's position in the Central Immortal Realm!"

"Even Su Wu Ming and his group can't kill you; you give me a strong sense of danger!"

Sheng Lingzi stared intently at Qin Tianhua.

Qin Tianhua gave a faint smile, his gaze falling into the Divine Abyss below.

"Do you know why I intend to invade the Central Immortal Realm?"

"Why?"

"Because the world I inhabit has completely collapsed and can no longer bear my power."

"The current Central Immortal Realm is the same; once one breaks through the Divine Realm, it's fine not to act, but if one does act, the Heavenly Dao of this world will forcibly expel it."

"After I break the seal, I will naturally go to other worlds; it's just one Central Immortal Realm, and it hasn't even noticed it!"

A trace of disdain flickered in Qin Tianhua's eyes.

"Don't doubt me; you are already in the Pseudo-Divine Realm and should feel the rejection of this sub-world toward you."

Sheng Lingzi pondered for a moment, indeed.

After he breaks the Pseudo-Divine barrier, he can constantly feel, everywhere, that between heaven and earth there seems to be a force continuously repelling him.

Although it's not a serious problem, it is still somewhat uncomfortable.

"Fine, make your move!"

Qin Tianhua's expression gradually turned a bit helpless.

"As long as you devour my remains and fuse the Divine Power within, you can leap into the Divine Realm in one go."

"When the time comes, per our agreement, you will lift my seal; the Central Immortal Realm will be yours, and I will go seek another world!"

Qin Tianhua's voice carried a strong seductive tone.

Sheng Lingzi pondered for a moment, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Now, Qing Long still resides in my Holy Temple realm, and no one can stop me."

"Since that's the case…"

Sheng Lingzi suddenly stepped a stride toward the location of the Divine Abyss.

"Divine Realm… today, I, Sheng Lingzi, will break it!"

Sheng Lingzi let out a thunderous shout.

Within Sheng Lingzi's body, terrifying energy seemed to swirl.

The extremely dense Stellar Power seemed to form a hand entirely condensed from Stellar Power.

It crashed down with a boom.

Boom—boom—boom!!!

The terrifying energy burst throughout heaven and earth, causing the towering Zhen Shen Mountain Range to quake suddenly.

The terrifying roar rang out.

The Great Stellar Hand instantly descended over the Divine Abyss.

Buzz—buzz—buzz!!

It seemed to sense the approaching energy; above the Divine Abyss, blue runes instantly glimmered.

To try to stop the Great Stellar Hand's power.

However, the current Sheng Lingzi is in the Pseudo-Divine Realm, already beyond the scope of the Nine Heavens.

Unless a Divine Realm strongman intervenes, stopping Sheng Lingzi is basically impossible.

In just a moment, the blue runes shattered instantly.

Without the runes' aid, the entire Divine Abyss suddenly trembled.

Roars erupted in waves, instantly echoing through heaven and earth.

It also exuded a rich Divine Spirit Spiritual Qi, continuously spreading from the Divine Abyss and contaminating the whole world.

Qin Tianhua stood behind Sheng Lingzi, a flash of crimson light passing through his eyes.

Immediately after, deep within the Divine Abyss, a pale arm slowly emerged.

Gradually, a drop of milky‑white energy coalesced on the fingertip.

Sheng Lingzi gazed at that white energy drop, and a surge of fervor flashed in his eyes.

"Is this… the Divine Power!"

Sheng Lingzi swallowed, and he could clearly feel that the energy within that Divine Power seemed truly able to help him break through the Divine Realm.

For a moment, Sheng Lingzi's gaze became somewhat dazed.

Qin Tianhua's seductive voice slowly rose.

"Sheng Lingzi, as long as you devour this drop of Divine Power, you can naturally break the Divine Realm."

"Your Holy Temple has now fully declared war on the entire Central Immortal Realm; only by breaking the Divine Realm is the only way out for your Temple, and for you, Sheng Lingzi!"

Listening to Qin Tianhua's seduction.

Sheng Lingzi's body trembled slightly.

Then, clenching his teeth, he grasped the Divine Power before him with both hands and immediately swallowed it in one gulp.

Qin Tianhua watched the scene, a thrilled smile curving his lips.

"Sit cross‑legged to absorb; from now on, He will help you strive!"

A terrifying Divine Spirit Spiritual Qi surged from Qin Tianhua's body.

The cultivation of the Nine Heavens suddenly erupted.

Sheng Lingzi also obediently sat cross-legged in the void, beginning to refine the divine power within their body.

At the same time.

Inside the Holy Hall.

The Chief Hall Master sat cross-legged in the void, and suddenly opened their eyes.

A towering aura erupted violently from within the Chief Hall Master's body.

"Damn it, at this time, who broke the seal of the Divine Spirit Abyss!"

The Chief Hall Master roared, and the sound echoed throughout the Blade-Wielding Hall.

The Chief Hall Master suddenly rose to their feet, their eyes filled with intense killing intent.

"All members of the Blade-Wielding Hall, hear my command!"

"From this moment on, abandon all affairs, gather together, enter the abyss, and slay the Divine Chieftain!"

The sound waves rolled, and countless powerhouses of the Blade-Wielding Hall heard this voice.

Swish swish swish!!!

Four figures appeared beside the Chief Hall Master.

"Boss, what happened!"

The Second Hall Master's brows furrowed slightly; this was the first time they had seen the Chief Hall Master emit such fury.

The Chief Hall Master's eyes flickered with a cold intent.

"Someone... broke the seal of the Divine Spirit Abyss!"

"What!"

The four Hall Masters' faces changed drastically, and their bodies shuddered violently.

"You four, lead the Blade-Wielding Hall's powerhouses, enter the abyss from the entrance, and prevent the outbreak of the Chieftain horde."

The Chief Hall Master gave an order, then stepped onto the Blade-Wielding Hall Plaza.

Gazing at the Holy Sword hovering in midair, the Chief Hall Master bowed to it.

"Blade-Wielding Hall, Eighth Generation Blade-Wielding Hall Master Mo Xiaotian is inadequate; in the Central Immortal Realm, a traitor has broken the Divine Spirit Abyss seal; I beseech the Holy Sword, lend me your strength!"

The Chief Hall Master's resonant, powerful voice instantly exploded.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

The Holy Sword seemed to sense something, and golden light instantly enveloped the Chief Hall Master's body.

It then gently fell into the Chief Hall Master's hand.

Feeling the gentle power transmitted from the Holy Sword, the Chief Hall Master's aura surged again.

"Hmph!"

The Chief Hall Master snorted coldly, took a step forward, and the Holy Sword in their hand flashed out instantly.

It directly tore open a ferocious rift in the void.

"Dare to break the seal of the Divine Spirit Abyss... today, as the Hall Master, I will exterminate you completely!"

Taking a step, they vanished within the realm of the Blade-Wielding Hall.

Within the realm of the Nine Netherworld Purgatory.

Beneath the Nine Netherworld Pond.

Gurgle gurgle!!!

Countless bubbles instantly surfaced and burst.

In an instant, a gaunt figure shot up from beneath the Nine Netherworld Pond.

It was an old man clad in a gray robe, with dark black currents continually floating around his body.

Accompanying the old man's aura, the surrounding void was instantly wrapped in thick frost.

The temperature of heaven and earth instantly dropped.

"Nine Netherworld Purgatory, hear my command!"

"March to the Divine-Suppressing Mountain Range and suppress the Chieftain horde!"

The old man's icy voice echoed throughout heaven and earth.

The figures of the other three Netherworld Kings appeared simultaneously.

"Boss!"

The three bowed slightly to the old man.

The old man said indifferently, "Someone is courting death, breaking the Divine Spirit Abyss seal; I will go ahead first, the people of the Nine Netherworld Purgatory, you bring yourselves!"

The three's faces slightly changed; they never expected that at this time, someone would dare to risk such danger and break the Divine Spirit Abyss seal.

"Isn't this just courting death?"

"Souls, come!"

The gaunt old man in the gray robe waved his bony hand toward the Nine Netherworld Pond below.

In an instant, it seemed as if the voices of countless wronged souls exploded between heaven and earth.

An ancient soul-summoning banner appeared in the old man's hand.

The old man lightly waved their hand, and space tore apart.

Taking a step, they vanished into the Nine Netherworld Purgatory.

"Second Brother, what should we do now?"

The Third Netherworld King and the Fourth Netherworld King looked toward the Second Netherworld King.

The Second Netherworld King pondered for a moment, and a flicker of killing intent crossed their youthful face.

"No matter what, the seal of the Divine Spirit Abyss has been broken; all beings in the Central Immortal Realm suffer; we naturally cannot stand idly by."

Pass the order down... Depart for the God-Suppressing Mountain Range!
