“Su Yu has probably lost.”
A wave of regret swept through the stands.
Countless people mourned the downfall of this peerless genius who had shone only briefly.
“What a pity. Such a terrible pity.”
“If he had another thousand years to make up for his weakness in mental power, he would surely earn a place in the Great Chu Star Domain!”
“The future would undoubtedly have belonged to his era.”
“But his journey in the Rising Star Tournament ends here.”
Everyone believed that Su Yu had suffered a mental collapse and fallen amid the smoke and dust.
In the spectator section reserved for the Zhao family of the Sirius Star System—
The Zhao family patriarch had already raised his wineglass, ready to celebrate Zhao Kuang’s victory.
And yet—
In the exclusive premium viewing seats reserved for the imperial family—
Within the towering meteoric-iron throne that soared into the clouds—
Great Chu Emperor Chu Tianjiao remained leaning slightly forward.
His deep, unfathomable eyes were fixed without blinking on the arena below.
Smoke and dust?
Chaotic energy currents?
Such things might obstruct the sight of ordinary spectators.
They might interfere with the perception of Stellar-rank experts.
But—
They could never conceal anything from the eyes of a peak Domain Lord-rank powerhouse!
Chu Tianjiao’s gaze was like two invisible blades, effortlessly cutting through the dust that filled the air.
He saw everything happening at the center of the arena.
Clearly.
Perfectly clearly!
And precisely because he saw it all too clearly—
The expression on the face of this Supreme Emperor, who ruled over a vast star domain and remained unruffled even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him—
Completely fell apart at that moment!
“H-How is this possible?!”
In less than a tenth of a second, Chu Tianjiao’s pupils contracted to the size of needlepoints!
His hands clenched tightly around the armrests of his throne.
Crack!
The supposedly indestructible meteoric-iron armrests were crushed, several fractures appearing beneath his grip!
What had he seen?!
Within the smoke and dust—
Su Yu was still standing quietly where he had been.
He had not fallen.
He had not suffered a mental collapse.
He had not even moved so much as half a step!
His lean yet upright figure stood like an ancient divine mountain that could never be shaken.
Meanwhile—
Zhao Kuang, upon whom everyone had placed such high hopes, who had unleashed mental power comparable to a Black Hole-rank psychic divine ability—
Was now sprawled limply at the edge of the arena like a pile of mud!
Zhao Kuang was drenched in blood. A horrifying wound ran across his chest, deep enough to expose bone.
It was the mark left by the piercing intent of Su Yu’s domain spear.
Chu Tianjiao could see it plainly: if Su Yu had not deliberately shifted the tip of that invisible spear by half an inch at the final moment—showing mercy—
That casual strike would have taken Zhao Kuang’s life on the spot!
One move!
Just one move!
Not only had Su Yu not lost—
He had directly inflicted grievous injuries upon Zhao Kuang, who had gone all out!
But—
That was not what horrified Chu Tianjiao the most.
What truly shattered the worldview of this Domain Lord-rank powerhouse—and made even his soul tremble—
Was the way Su Yu had endured the mental attack head-on!
In that instant just now—
Chu Tianjiao’s perception had keenly captured the changes within Su Yu’s sea of consciousness.
When Zhao Kuang’s dark crimson mental ripples struck Su Yu between the brows—
No fluctuation from any divine ability erupted within Su Yu’s sea of consciousness.
No counterattack.
No shockwave.
Only an invisible barrier, formed purely from condensed spiritual power, surfaced of its own accord.
And then—
Zhao Kuang’s spiritual-power ripple, powerful enough to tear apart the sea of consciousness of a Stellar-level expert—
was like a faint spring breeze brushing against a Wall of Sighs forged from fallen star-metal.
It vanished without a trace in an instant!
It did not even raise the slightest ripple!
Not a scratch on him!
Su Yu had taken Zhao Kuang’s mental attack head-on—and emerged completely unscathed!!!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Sitting upon his throne, Chu Tianjiao felt as though ten thousand starry behemoths were trampling back and forth over his brain.
“What the hell is going on here?!”
Chu Tianjiao let out an incredulous roar in his heart.
In that instant just now, he had sensed it with absolute clarity!
This kid’s spiritual power was unbelievably strong!
Vast as the ocean! Bottomless and unfathomable!
“He blocked someone else’s minor divine ability purely with his base spiritual-power stats?!”
Chu Tianjiao’s breathing became rapid.
He understood all too well just how staggering that was.
One had to know—
In battles among the stars, if two opponents each possessed one hundred drops of Origin Blood and both unleashed minor divine abilities—
with both sides receiving boosts of more than tenfold—
then fighting to a draw would be perfectly normal.
But what about Su Yu?!
His vitality was only one thousand drops!
It was far below Zhao Kuang’s nine thousand drops!
Yet his spiritual power, without using any divine ability at all—
relying solely on the passive defenses of his cultivation technique—
had withstood Zhao Kuang’s minor divine ability, amplified dozens of times over, without suffering the slightest injury!
What did that mean?!
It meant that Su Yu’s base spiritual-power value, combined with the amplification from the spiritual cultivation technique he practiced—
had reached such a terrifying level that it could simply ignore the boost from Zhao Kuang’s divine ability!
“This kid’s spiritual power is terrifyingly powerful!”
Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil raging in his heart.
His Domain Lord-level mind raced at full speed, and in an instant, he reached a conclusion so shocking that even he found it chilling.
“A cultivation technique!”
“It has to be a cultivation technique!”
Chu Tianjiao stared at the thin figure on the holographic screen, unprecedented shock flashing in his eyes.
“Another Black Hole-level cultivation technique!”
“And this one is a spiritual Black Hole-level cultivation technique—far more difficult to cultivate!!!”
Chu Tianjiao felt as though his common sense had been pinned to the ground and ground into dust.
Earlier, when he discovered that Su Yu possessed a body comparable to the Black Hole level—
he had assumed that Su Yu had abandoned spiritual cultivation and poured all his effort into a Black Hole-level body-tempering technique.
He had originally thought that for an eighteen-year-old youth to master a single Black Hole-level cultivation technique—
that alone was already outrageously defiant of the heavens.
That alone would have made him an unparalleled genius, unprecedented and unlikely ever to be surpassed.
But now!
Reality had dealt him a vicious slap across the face!
“This kid!”
Gritting his teeth, Chu Tianjiao let out an almost groaning exclamation in his heart.
“Not only is his body freakishly powerful to the extreme!”
“His spiritual power has also been cultivated with a Black Hole-level technique?!”
“One Black Hole-level body-tempering technique!”
“One Black Hole-level spiritual cultivation technique!”
“And he has even comprehended Domain-level spear intent!”
Chu Tianjiao turned his head and glanced at Ninth Prince Chu Wudao beside him, who still wore a look of disdain and remained convinced that Su Yu was bound to lose.
A profound sense of helplessness suddenly welled up in the emperor’s heart.
He realized—
his previous assessment of Su Yu had been wildly, disastrously wrong.
Weak in certain areas?
A fatal weakness?
Unable to withstand a single blow?
It was all complete bullshit!
This was no lopsided genius.
He was clearly a monster with no weaknesses whatsoever—one who had pushed his body, mind, and willpower to their absolute limits...
An all-round freak!!!
“Wudao...”
Chu Tianjiao looked at his son and sighed silently to himself.
“This time, I’m afraid you’ve truly run into someone you can’t afford to provoke.”
Just as Chu Tianjiao’s heart was roiling with shock—
at the center of the Taixu Arena,
the dust and smoke filling the ring finally began to dissipate beneath the surging energy.
When the scene within
was clearly revealed before the audience of tens of billions,
the entire arena
instantly fell into a graveyard-like silence.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

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.
