Only a single instant had passed.
The referee had not even finished shouting, “Begin!”
On the arena platform, Su Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
Those originally deep and tranquil eyes erupted with two dazzling beams of divine light, bright enough to pierce the starry sky!
Buzz—!!!
The invisible spear gripped in Su Yu’s right hand underwent a earth-shaking transformation at that very moment!
His spear intent had grown countless times stronger!
If the Domain Spear Intent before had been a massive mountain,
then the spear intent now was an inverted sea of stars!
Rumble!
Without warning, astonishing celestial phenomena appeared above the arena!
The void was no longer merely shattering.
It was being directly assimilated!
Countless visible golden chains of the Great Dao extended from the depths of the void, winding around Su Yu’s invisible spear.
The sacred hymns of the Great Dao echoed throughout the entire Grand Void Arena.
Wherever they passed, all things submitted!
Even the miniature black hole at Lin Yuan’s fingertip, which had previously seemed invincible, began to tremble and twist violently under the oppression of this terrifying spear intent, as though it might collapse at any moment!
“This?!”
At that instant, the hundreds of billions of spectators below were collectively dumbfounded.
Everyone stopped breathing.
Their pupils lost focus.
Their minds went completely blank.
“What is this?!”
Someone swallowed with difficulty and murmured hoarsely.
They could not understand what kind of power this was.
But they could feel it!
This power was terrifyingly formidable!
Formidable to an extreme!
That imposing aura, which felt like standing face-to-face with the origin of the universe, made every prodigy present with more than ten thousand drops of source blood incapable of summoning even the slightest desire to resist.
Some even felt the urge to kneel on the ground and prostrate themselves in worship!
The spectators could not understand it.
But the ancient monsters in the viewing sections reserved for the various major factions saw it clearly!
Whoosh!
The Patriarch of the Zhao Family of the Sirius System, the Elder of the Lin Family of Ziwei Star, and even the commanders of the various legions—
these black-hole-level experts who had lived for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of years—
all shot to their feet in unison the instant they saw the golden chains of the Great Dao!
Their movements were perfectly synchronized!
The expressions on every one of their faces were as twisted as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight!
“This…”
An elder supreme of a reclusive sect pointed at Su Yu on the arena platform, his finger trembling violently.
“This is…”
“Touching the Dao?!”
“Good heavens! This is Spear Intent that has touched the Dao?!!”
Boom!
The moment the words “touching the Dao” were spoken, the entire high-level viewing area descended into madness!
The worldviews of all the old monsters were crushed to pieces at that moment!
“That’s touching the Dao!”
The voice of a peak black-hole-level clan patriarch trembled. “Domain-level Spear Intent can, at most, suppress a single region of space.”
“But once it touches the Great Dao… it forcibly connects to the supreme arteries of the universe!”
“It borrows the power of the universe’s origin to slay its enemies!” added another reclusive grandmaster, repeatedly drawing in cold breaths.
“The accompanying ‘Great Dao Suppression’ property is enough to give its attacks priority over all conventional energies! It can forcibly disperse and dismantle most low-dimensional divine abilities and laws!”
“A black hole may be able to devour all things, but how could it possibly devour the chains of the Great Dao that form the foundation of this universe?!”
“Furthermore, anyone struck by Spear Intent that has touched the Dao will suffer the powerful effect of ‘Origin Annihilation’! No amount of source blood can make such a wound heal!”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
In the Seventh Legion’s preparation area, Lu Xinghe’s eyes were wide with shock.
“Domain Spear Intent is comparable to a divine ability and only provides a combat amplification of several hundred times!”
“But touching the Dao…”
Lu Xinghe’s voice broke.
“That is a supreme realm comparable to an Immortal Divine Ability!!”
“An Immortal Divine Ability!”
“It starts with an amplification of at least one thousand times!”
“At its peak, it can even reach the terrifying amplification of more than nine thousand times!!!”
“Not to mention the Great Dao Suppression property!”
“He’s only eighteen!”
“How could he possibly comprehend touching the Dao?!”
Beside him, Chen Xuan was equally dumbfounded, his entire body frozen in place.
“Comprehending the Dao on the spot?”
Chen Xuan stared at Su Yu on the arena platform, whose aura was as deep and oppressive as an abyss or a prison. He felt as though his common sense were being dragged across the ground and rubbed raw.
“When other people fight, they compete with their trump cards.”
“This kid fights as if he thinks his trump cards aren’t enough and can just print another one on the spot?!”
“This kid’s talent…”
“Isn’t it a little too invincible??!”
Shock.
Unprecedented shock swept through the hearts of every expert present.
Spear Intent that had touched the Dao!
A nine-thousand-fold amplification!
This meant that Su Yu’s theoretical foundation of one thousand drops of source blood, under the enhancement of this Immortal Divine Ability-level spear intent, could instantly unleash basic destructive power comparable to nine hundred thousand drops of source blood!
And this power also carried the absolute suppression of Great Dao laws!
In the Imperial Family’s exclusive special viewing area.
On a meteorite-iron throne that towered into the clouds, Ninth Prince Chu Wudao suddenly rose to his feet.
He stared fixedly at the lean figure surrounded by golden chains of the Great Dao on the holographic screen.
His face was deathly pale.
The roar of the one hundred and fifty thousand drops of source blood within his body now sounded so feeble and powerless.
His former arrogance and overwhelming confidence—
the instant he saw Spear Intent that had touched the Dao, more than half of it vanished!
It could even be said to have been completely shattered!
“Touching the Dao…”
Chu Wudao clenched his fists, his fingernails digging deeply into his palms and drawing thin lines of blood.
Proud as he was—
the Great Chu Imperial House’s most dazzling divine son—
he had no choice but to lower his haughty head at this moment.
He was completely convinced.
He had no choice but to acknowledge a cruel fact.
“Su Yu’s talent…”
“Even that unfathomable combat strength of his…”
“May both be far superior to mine!!!”
A profound sense of powerlessness welled up in Chu Wudao’s heart.
So what if he had one hundred and fifty thousand drops of source blood?
Before Spear Intent that had touched the Dao, which was comparable to an Immortal Divine Ability, the amplification provided by his mere stellar-level cultivation technique was practically a joke.
Beside him, Emperor of Great Chu, Chu Tianjiao—
a peak domain-lord-level existence with nine billion drops of source blood—
was also stunned.
Sitting on his throne, he remained slightly leaned forward, frozen in that position for a full half a minute.
“This??”
Chu Tianjiao rubbed his faintly aching brow.
“An aberration!”
He had lived for countless years and ruled over a vast star domain. What kind of peerless genius had he not seen?
But a monster like Su Yu, who could comprehend an Immortal Divine Ability-level spear intent on the spot—
he had truly never heard of such a thing.
However, as a domain-lord-level grandmaster, Chu Tianjiao possessed mental fortitude far beyond that of ordinary people.
After his brief shock, he quickly regained his composure.
His mind raced as he began a meticulous analysis.
“Even if he has broken through to Spear Intent that has touched the Dao in the middle of the battle…”
“He and Lin Yuan should still be evenly matched.”
Chu Tianjiao rapidly calculated the combat data of the two in his mind.
“Lin Yuan has more source blood—thirty thousand drops of flawless source blood in total.”
“Moreover, the black-hole-level cultivation technique he has mastered is no weak one. With a twelve-hundred-fold amplification, combined with the properties of black-hole devouring laws…”
“Taken together, Lin Yuan’s combat power is absolutely no weaker than that of an ordinary peak stellar-level expert.”
“And he certainly has trump cards.”
“By contrast, although Su Yu’s spear-intent amplification is as high as nine thousand times, his foundation is only one thousand drops after all.”
“Su Yu’s physical body is incredibly powerful, but he is vulnerable to the unique properties of a black hole.”
“Their strengths should be more or less evenly matched.”
“As for who will win or lose, that will depend on their clash in actual combat.”
The analysis ended there.
Chu Tianjiao let out a quiet sigh of relief.
At least Lin Yuan had not been completely overwhelmed. The match still had an element of suspense.
But then—
When Chu Tianjiao turned his head and saw Ninth Prince Chu Wudao beside him, his conviction shaken and his face ashen...
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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.
