The night wind howled.
Within the abandoned industrial district, weeds grew wild, and rusted steel machinery cast mottled shadows beneath the moonlight.
Su Yu came to a stop.
He did not continue running. Instead, he turned around and calmly surveyed his surroundings with his deep, crystalline eyes.
Empty.
Utterly silent.
Within a ten-mile radius, there was not a trace of another living person aside from the sound of the wind.
Hoo…
Su Yu slowly exhaled the stale air in his lungs, and his tense shoulders relaxed slightly.
Good.
There wasn’t even a ghost in sight.
It was best not to let anyone witness something like murder. Otherwise, it would only lead to a whole host of unnecessary trouble.
Just as Su Yu had let his guard down—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three terrifying pillars of blood qi crashed down onto the open ground before him like falling meteors!
The raging shockwaves swept across the area, instantly sending scrap metal and shattered stones flying in every direction.
As the dust settled, Wang Teng, Wang Daoyuan, and Wang Potian—the Wang family’s three generations—surrounded Su Yu in a triangular formation, sealing off every escape route.
Wang Teng still held the tracking compass in his hand.
When he saw that Su Yu had not only stopped running after discovering he was being tracked, but was instead standing there calmly, Wang Teng froze for a moment before breaking into a mocking laugh.
“Kid, you’ve got some nerve!”
Wang Teng looked down at Su Yu, his eyes filled with amusement and cruelty.
“After realizing you were being tracked, you didn’t run toward a crowded area. Instead, you came crawling into this godforsaken ruin?”
“What?”
“Picked out a grave for yourself?”
Su Yu looked at the three members of the Wang family, each of them radiating a shocking killing intent.
His gaze settled on Wang Teng’s face.
“I did.”
Su Yu’s voice was calm and utterly without emotion.
“But it’s for the three of you.”
The moment he said this, the smile on Wang Teng’s face instantly froze.
Wang Daoyuan, meanwhile, was practically laughing from anger.
A mere insect with the blood-qi fluctuations of a Martial Spirit actually dared to spout such nonsense while surrounded by a Martial Emperor and a Martial Venerable?
It was utterly absurd!
“You really don’t know when to quit.”
A cold glint flashed through Wang Daoyuan’s gloomy eyes.
He could not even be bothered to look at Su Yu again. Instead, he turned toward the Wang family patriarch beside him.
“Patriarch, there’s no need to waste words on an ant from the bottom of society.”
“I’ll cripple all four of his limbs and take back the money case.”
Wang Potian’s eyelids drooped slightly, his murky eyes filled with indifference.
“Make it quick.”
“Don’t get blood on my clothes.”
“Yes!”
Wang Daoyuan acknowledged the order.
Boom!
The terrifying blood qi of a Martial Emperor erupted within him!
More than one hundred million units of blood qi transformed into a blood-red giant hand as large as a mountain. Carrying an overwhelming force capable of crushing everything, it descended toward Su Yu’s head!
“Kid, when you’re reincarnated in your next life, remember to keep your eyes open!”
Wang Daoyuan grinned viciously, as though he could already see Su Yu being crushed into a bloody pulp.
However—
In the face of this Martial Emperor strike, powerful enough to leave any Martial King in despair, Su Yu slowly raised his right hand.
Since there was no one around—
There was no need to conceal himself any longer.
Vmmmm—
An extremely pure, utterly deathly gray-black wave of energy erupted from Su Yu’s body!
Nine million strands of Darkgold Divine Blood boiled without restraint at that very moment!
A dark-red spear condensed out of thin air in Su Yu’s palm.
A huge gray-black dragon phantom coiled around the shaft, roaring ferociously!
Soul-Forging Spear Intent!
It took shape in an instant!
Ssssh!
The mountain-sized blood-red hand touched the spearpoint’s edge and instantly melted away like snow beneath the blazing sun.
It did not even last a second before being silently cleaved in two, then completely annihilated in the air!
“What?!”
The vicious grin on Wang Daoyuan’s face instantly solidified, and his pupils contracted to their limit.
His Martial Emperor attack had actually been broken?!
Behind him, Wang Potian’s murky eyes flew open.
“Spear intent?!”
Wang Potian stared fixedly at the dark-red spear coiled by the dragon phantom, his heart shaken to the core.
“Turning the intangible into the tangible… That’s Form-Manifesting Spear Intent?!”
Wang Potian recognized spear intent.
But his vision, limited by the era he had lived through, made it impossible for him to understand what “Soul-Forging” truly meant.
Judging only by its appearance, he could merely mistake it for the exceptionally rare Form-Manifesting realm in the Great Xia Kingdom!
“No wonder you’re so arrogant!”
Wang Potian snorted coldly, the killing intent in his eyes growing even more intense.
“An eighteen-year-old who has comprehended Form-Manifesting Spear Intent truly is a once-in-an-age genius!”
“But!”
“Can mere Form-Manifesting Spear Intent bridge a gap of hundreds of thousands—or even tens of millions—of units of blood qi?!”
“In the face of absolute power, all techniques are futile!”
“Daoyuan, stop playing around!”
“Use your full strength and kill him!”
Wang Potian shouted harshly.
“Understood!”
Wang Daoyuan broke out in a cold sweat.
He did not dare to be careless again. His blood qi, exceeding one hundred million units, boiled completely, and a blood-red saber condensed in his hand. It tore through the air as he viciously brought it down toward Su Yu’s head!
Su Yu watched the blood-red saber descend.
He remained completely unperturbed.
He casually thrust the spear in his hand forward.
There was no flashy technique.
No earth-shaking explosion.
Only an extremely restrained, transparent edge that flashed once at the tip of the spear.
Pfft!
The blood-red saber shattered instantly!
The transparent edge continued forward without slowing, piercing straight through Wang Daoyuan’s brow.
Wang Daoyuan’s movement came to an abrupt halt.
He stared wide-eyed at Su Yu, his eyes filled with incomprehension, absurdity, and fear.
The next second—
Bang!
The dignified Martial Emperor did not even have time to let out a scream before his entire head exploded like a watermelon!
His headless corpse toppled stiffly to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Within the abandoned industrial district, only the night wind’s mournful whine as it passed through the rusted sheets of metal remained.
The expression on Wang Teng’s face had completely frozen.
His mouth hung open as meaningless croaks escaped his throat, while his legs shook violently beyond his control.
He had been killed in one move?
His lofty Martial Emperor father had just been killed instantly with a single strike?!
Wang Potian was stunned as well.
This Martial Venerable monster who had lived for nearly two hundred years now felt only a chill shooting from his coccyx straight to the crown of his head.
A Martial Emperor had been killed with a single thrust!
Was this something a Martial Spirit could do?!
That absolutely was not Form-Manifesting Spear Intent!
This power… this terrifying edge capable of annihilating the soul…
“Who… who are you?!”
Wang Potian’s voice trembled, and deep fear finally appeared in his murky eyes.
He abruptly retreated, rapidly condensing ten billion units of blood qi around his body into layer upon layer of indestructible astral shields!
“Just a passing Martial Spirit.”
Su Yu gripped his spear and took one step forward.
The perfected Thunder Shadow Star Step was activated!
His entire body crossed dozens of meters in an instant, appearing directly before Wang Potian!
“No!!!”
Wang Potian let out a shrill roar as he unleashed all ten billion units of blood qi toward Su Yu without holding anything back!
Su Yu’s gaze remained cold. He raised the spear in his hand and smashed it down with tremendous force!
Soul-Forging Peak—Abyss of Annihilation!
Boom—!!!
The astral shields formed from ten billion units of blood qi were as fragile as a sheet of paper before the Soul-Forging Spear Intent.
They shattered instantly!
The long spear, carrying the power to destroy everything, slammed heavily into Wang Potian’s chest!

Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
