Chu Tianjiao let out a cold laugh, his gaze sharp as a blade.
“Su Yu’s physical body is indeed comparable to the black-hole level.”
“His spear intent, which touches the Dao, is indeed comparable to an Immortal Divine Art.”
“But!”
“In the face of true black-hole-level power and the absolute suppression of Domain Lord laws…”
“That mere foundation of a thousand drops of Origin Blood won’t even make a splash!”
“This is the absolute crushing advantage I prepared for you!”
After hearing Chu Tianjiao’s explanation, Chu Wudao’s entire body began to tremble violently.
Not from fear, but from overwhelming excitement!
A million drops of Origin Blood, granting black-hole-level combat power!
Protected by a Domain Lord law domain!
This was equivalent to allowing him to experience, ahead of time, the supreme might of a starry-sky overlord!
With such a trump card, let alone Su Yu—even if a true black-hole-level powerhouse appeared, he was confident he could kill them with a single slap!
“Thank you, Father!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Wudao reached out and seized the golden Origin Decree.
Then, without pause, he pressed it directly into his heart.
Boom—!!!
The instant the decree entered his body, a vast, boundless, and terrifying energy erupted within every inch of Chu Wudao’s body like a galactic river breaking through a dam!
His eyes instantly turned a dazzling, pure gold.
Even his hair stood straight up, radiating blinding light.
The fifteen thousand drops of Origin Blood within him began to split and multiply at an utterly unreasonable speed under the frenzied infusion of Origin power.
Two hundred thousand drops!
Four hundred thousand drops!
Eight hundred thousand drops!
One million drops!!!
Rumble!
Although Chu Tianjiao had sealed the surrounding space, the roar of the vital energy surging through Chu Wudao’s body still caused ripples to spread endlessly through the surrounding void.
Chu Wudao clenched both fists.
As he felt the terrifying power within him—power that seemed capable of crushing stars with ease—his Dao heart was completely reforged.
His confidence reached an unprecedented peak!
“Su Yu…”
Chu Wudao turned around. His gaze pierced through the spatial seal and locked onto the black figure in the preparation area below.
“Your miracle ends here!”
“The first throne of this Rising Star Tournament can only belong to me!”
…
Void Arena.
With Lin Yuan carried off the arena, the Eight-Finals battles came to a complete end.
The following semifinal matches failed to stir up even the slightest ripple.
Having witnessed Su Yu’s monstrous physical body directly shatter even a black-hole-level divine ability, his semifinal opponent smiled bitterly and decisively forfeited before even taking the stage. As for the Ninth Prince, Chu Wudao, he likewise crushed his opponent without suspense and advanced with ease.
After a brief rest and repairs to the arena, the enormous holographic display above the arena once again burst into dazzling light.
The bells announcing the final battle rang out.
Dong—!
Dong—!
Dong—!
The ancient, desolate tolling of the bells echoed through the vast starry sky.
The gazes of more than ten billion spectators instantly converged on the display.
Two rows of enormous golden characters slowly appeared.
[Great Chu Imperial Family, Ninth Prince, Chu Wudao]
[Versus]
[Seventh Legion, Su Yu]
Boom!!!
The entire Void Arena erupted into complete frenzy!
The waves of cheering that overturned the heavens nearly shattered the energy barrier surrounding the floating continent.
“The final battle! It’s finally here!”
“The Imperial Divine Son with fifteen thousand drops of Origin Blood versus an all-around super-genius!”
“This is absolutely the most exciting Rising Star Tournament in nearly one hundred thousand years!”
“Who do you think will win?”
“Do you even have to ask? Of course it’s Su Yu! He stood there without moving and shattered a monster like Lin Yuan. Chu Wudao’s fifteen thousand drops of Origin Blood aren’t even worth mentioning!”
“That’s right! Su Yu’s physical defenses are completely impossible to overcome. Chu Wudao can’t even break through them!”
The crowd’s support had completely swung toward Su Yu.
After all, the dominance Su Yu had displayed earlier had been simply too despair-inducing.
Seventh Legion preparation area.
Chen Xuan and Lu Xinghe were both filled with excitement.
“Su Yu!”
Chen Xuan rose to his feet and heavily patted Su Yu on the shoulder. At this moment, the dignity of a Domain Lord had transformed into the expectations of an elder.
“Go!”
“Take first place!”
“Show everyone in the Great Chu Star Domain what kind of peerless monster our Seventh Legion has produced!”
Lu Xinghe was even more excited as he rubbed his hands together.
“Three thousand Star Origin Stones! And that black-hole-level War God Armament!”
“They’re all yours!”
Facing their excitement, Su Yu remained calm.
He nodded slightly, then flashed into motion.
In an instant, he appeared on the right side of the arena.
Dressed in a black combat outfit, he stood tall and lean, one hand held behind his back.
His deep eyes were as still as an ancient well.
On the left side of the arena, a dazzling golden pillar of light descended from the heavens.
The Ninth Prince, Chu Wudao, arrived riding the air.
He wore an incomparably ornate robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.
When he landed on the arena, he did not deliberately release his vital energy.
Yet simply by standing there, he caused the surrounding space to groan as though it could no longer bear his existence.
Chu Wudao raised his chin slightly and looked down at Su Yu from above.
His pure-gold eyes were filled with an absolute coldness that regarded all living things as ants.
“Su Yu.”
Chu Wudao slowly spoke, his voice carrying a trace of lofty pride.
“The fact that you were able to reach this point truly exceeded everyone’s expectations.”
“Your physical body, your will, and your spiritual power can all be called perfect.”
Chu Wudao stood with his hands behind his back.
“But unfortunately…”
“You encountered me.”
“In the face of the absolute foundation of the Great Chu Imperial Family, your so-called perfection is nothing more than fragile glass.”
In the face of Chu Wudao’s arrogance, Su Yu slowly raised his eyes but did not immediately retort.
His gaze swept across Chu Wudao’s body, and a trace of doubt flashed through his eyes.
Something was wrong.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow inwardly.
How could a foundation of fifteen thousand drops of Origin Blood possibly distort space to such a terrifying degree?
Even Lin Yuan’s explosive transformation earlier had been incapable of this.
“Besides, this guy was clearly shaken to the point of wavering Dao confidence when he was watching from below. So how did he suddenly become so confident? The pressure he’s faintly emitting is practically as if he’s become an entirely different person.”
Whenever something abnormal happened, there was certain to be a reason.
Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Void Gaze activated instantly.
One glance.
Just one glance.
Su Yu’s deep pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.
Within the field of vision granted by Void Gaze, what existed inside Chu Wudao’s body was not fifteen thousand drops of Origin Blood at all.
It was a terrifying energy source, dazzling and violent to the extreme, like a star exploding!
One million drops!
True black-hole-level mass!
Not only that.
An extremely obscure, intangible law barrier also surrounded Chu Wudao’s body—a barrier whose dimensional level was so high that it made the heart tremble.
Su Yu had sensed that aura of law on only one person before.
Chen Xuan!
Domain Lord level!
“Combat power equivalent to one million drops of Origin Blood…”
“Along with Domain Lord-level law protection…”
Su Yu muttered inwardly.
He understood instantly.
The Great Chu Imperial Family had cheated.
For the sake of that first-place reward, the dignified Emperor of Great Chu had actually lowered himself to stuff such an absolutely overwhelming trump card into his own son.
“Looks like…”
“Using only a thousand drops of Origin Blood as the foundation, I can’t win this.”
Su Yu sighed.
Faced with true black-hole-level power and the Domain Lord’s laws, the spear intent that a thousand drops of Origin Blood could unleash would be dismantled in an instant.
No matter how powerful his physical body was, under the suppression of the Domain Lord’s laws, he could only take the beating passively.
“Looks like I’ll have to go all out.”
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.

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!
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
