Chapter 558 - 477: Don’t Underestimate the Bonds Between Us!
"Alas, why are all my team members like this?"
Su Yuan sighed softly, holding his forehead.
Chu Lanxi: "Perhaps it’s the influence of one’s company? Or maybe it’s birds of a feather flock together?"
Su Yuan blushed slightly and pinched his mouth.
Lies don’t hurt, but the truth is a sharp blade!
"Keep pushing, try harder and you’re about to win!"
On the battlefield, Fake Chu Jiang was dodging while speaking with a cheerful smile.
"And look, from start to finish, I haven’t resisted, which shows that although my Illusion Dao is good at self-preservation, it has no advantage in attack..."
Before Fake Chu Jiang could finish, Chu Lanxi quietly interrupted:
"Don’t believe him, he’s lying to you. The Illusion Dao, if truly used for attack, is almost invincible at the same level."
Although everyone present knew Fake Chu Jiang couldn’t be trusted, they still twitched at the corner of their mouths hearing Chu Lanxi shamelessly boast.
Seeing the tense situation, Su Yuan stopped spectating and directly took out the All Heaven Star Battle Array Plate, unleashing the Divinity Transformation power left by the Star River Celestial Monarch in the plate.
In the next instant, the sun in the sky descended thousands of times faster than normal, with night falling swiftly.
The endless stars in the starry sky lit up and connected with each other, forming a pure white beam of light like a targeted weapon strike from the heavens.
Silently and seamlessly, a light pillar, narrowed to the extreme with only a meter in diameter, fell from the sky, landing precisely on Fake Chu Jiang.
Wherever the light pillar passed, be it flying swords or puppets, or even the Demon Fire spat by the Demon Refining True Monarch, everything evaporated instantly, as if they had never existed.
When the light pillar touched the ground, countless earth and stone disappeared, forming a small hole that pierced through the entire Taixu World.
This is the power of Divinity Transformation level, capable of easily cleaving or even destroying a Main World, even if not personally operated by the Star River Celestial Monarch.
Even Fake Chu Jiang, facing this light pillar, couldn’t dodge in time and could only let his entire body be enveloped within it.
However, his reality-distorting Illusion Dao divine techniques were still at work, temporarily keeping him unharmed.
But with him being constantly suppressed by the light pillar, his power consumption would undoubtedly increase greatly, making defeat just a matter of time.
"Su Yuan, well-prepared indeed, you even calculated that I could suppress three Divinity Transformations."
Within the white light pillar, Fake Chu Jiang remained calm, smiling:
"But don’t focus only on attacking me, pay more attention to yourself."
As soon as his words fell, the three Divinity Transformations bound tightly by the Celestial Lock suddenly moved!
Purple Gold Dragon Venerable reached heavily towards Su Yuan, while the air currents between heaven and earth pressed towards Su Yuan in an instant, seeming capable of crushing him the next moment.
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch’s eyes gleamed with black light, a jet-black coffin appeared beneath Su Yuan’s feet, enclosing him within, while a lid appeared in the air simultaneously, threatening to end Su Yuan’s life the moment it shut.
The Star River Celestial Monarch tapped lightly with a jade finger, countless starry light points rushing toward Su Yuan, threatening to pierce his body into a mesh if they landed.
This sudden and fierce change occurred so quickly that even the other people on the field, not to mention the three Divinity Transformations themselves, realized what they had done only after they had been controlled to attack!
By the time everyone reacted, Su Yuan had already been engulfed by the attacks of the three Divinity Transformations.
Clearly, this was Fake Chu Jiang’s trump card, waiting for Su Yuan to attack him fully, springing the effect of the Primordial Dao to temporarily control the three Divinity Transformations when he couldn’t respond in time.
Even exerting all his strength could only allow the three Divinity Transformations to strike once, but that was more than enough.
Faced with the sudden assault of three powerful Divinity Transformations, not to mention a mere Golden Core Cultivator, even fellow powerhouses of the same level could suffer greatly.
"Die, Su Yuan!"
A joyful arc appeared at the corner of Fake Chu Jiang’s mouth.
His mischievous nature made him look toward the expressions of the others at the scene, wanting to savor their shock.
And then...
He saw that except for Chu Lanxi, Su Yuan’s team members were just slightly surprised, then immediately returned to calmness.
As if the person being besieged was an unrelated passerby.
Fake Chu Jiang: "???"
Have these people been struck so hard they’re stupefied?
But shortly after, he couldn’t remain calm either.
As the black coffin, air waves, and star glows dissipated, Su Yuan, who should have been obliterated from body to soul, appeared completely unscathed in front of him.
Not even a speck of dust on his clothes.
Fake Chu Jiang couldn’t help but fall into self-doubt.
Was Su Yuan too strong, or were the three Divinity Transformations too weak, resulting in their failure to break through his defense?
Am I controlling fake Divinity Transformations?
"Sorry, I’ve already accounted for the worst-case scenario and found a solution. Otherwise, why do you think I’d dare to bring the three seniors here?"
Su Yuan brushed some dust off his shoulder, his expression proud.
Beside him, Chu Lanxi incredulously asked:
"I didn’t expect Fake Chu Jiang to hard-control the three Divinity Transformations... but Su Yuan, the way you’ve acted is way too impeccable. How did you manage it?"
"I opened it up."
Su Yuan answered honestly.
Chu Lanxi: "Forget it if you don’t want to say."
After a brief moment of shock, Fake Chu Jiang quickly regained his composure, spreading his hands and shaking his head helplessly:
"Seems like taking shortcuts won’t work, we’ll need a head-on confrontation after all."
As he spoke, the power belonging to the branch of the Primordial Dao surged out of him, and Fake Chu Jiang said calmly:
"When the Primordial Dao competes against another Primordial Dao, all other external forces are empty. Su Yuan, can you withstand this head-on battle?"
Su Yuan stepped forward:
"I’ve been waiting for you to say that, let’s begin quickly."
The Primordial Dao Su Yuan mastered was vastly different from an entire branch of the Primordial Dao.
Upon first meeting Chu Jiang, Su Yuan’s Dao was suppressed and barely effective, but after so much strategizing, everything was different now.
Utilizing the Primordial Dao to create the Taixu World, then forcibly controlling the three Divinity Transformations, and just now making them attack him, little by little, the branch of the Primordial Dao had inevitably entered a period of extreme weakness.
The user, Fake Chu Jiang, was burdened with an unknown number of debuffs.
In this situation, Su Yuan dared to fight him.
"Demon Cloud Divine Thunder!"
With Su Yuan’s low shout, a thick tribulation cloud appeared in the sky.
Fake Chu Jiang’s gaze was icy as invisible chains surged from behind him, rushing towards Su Yuan.
They were exactly the same as the Celestial Locks that trapped the three Divinity Transformation powers, but much weaker in strength.
To ordinary cultivators, these invisible chains were undetectable regardless of their cultivation, but in the eyes of Su Yuan, who was also a master of the Primordial Dao, they had nowhere to hide.
Lightning bolts of tribulation thunder struck fiercely, heavily striking the invisible chains.
The Primordial Dao contained within them collided and tore at each other, faintly showing signs of mutual devouring.
Under this extremely pure competition, even the beams emanating from the All Heaven Star Battle Array were forced to retreat.
"So the Primordial Dao can mutually devour in battle? If my Primordial Dao is entirely devoured, won’t I be defeated?"
Su Yuan came to this conclusion in his heart.
But he knew that he absolutely could not retreat in this battle; this was a contest of the Dao, and retreating would mean a lifetime of setbacks.
After taking a deep breath, Su Yuan stepped forward, directly charging in front of Fake Chu Jiang, and thrust his powerful, ferocious dragon claw towards the opponent’s body.
Within his palm, Abyssal Spiritual Power infused with the Primordial Dao resided.
Fake Chu Jiang also did not dodge but raised his hand to heavily receive Su Yuan’s claw, and the crisp sound of bone cracking echoed.
As Su Yuan infused Abyssal Spiritual Power into Fake Chu Jiang’s body, he also felt a vast illusory power masquerading as Abyssal Spiritual Power, wreaking havoc within his own body.
This clash of bodies and spiritual powers also involved the contest over the Primordial Dao.
Both sides utilized all possible methods to gain the upper hand in the battle.
Punch after punch, claw after claw, neither side retreated an inch, causing the very space of the Taixu World to vibrate with their physical clashes.
But just as Su Yuan focused on attacking, Celestial Locks suddenly rose, entangling the four closest Nascent Soul cultivators, including Taibai Phecda.
Under the control of the Celestial Locks, they were forced to redirect their attacks toward Su Yuan.
"Su Yuan, this isn’t a game. You can’t be immune to all your teammates’ damage. How do you feel, facing swords and knives from former comrades?"
Fake Chu Jiang asked with a sneer.
Su Yuan didn’t respond, but his brow furrowed deeply.
Given the power of the four Nascent Soul masters, if they besieged Su Yuan, he would suffer severe injuries even with the Divinity Transformation’s protection.
This invisible chain is truly troublesome, practically a high-end version of the Demon Technique·Finger Technique.
However, just as the four Nascent Souls were about to unleash a killing move on Su Yuan, Taibai Phecda suddenly spoke up:
"Su Yuan, the time has come!"
Hearing this, Fake Chu Jiang was taken aback.
"What does ’the time has come’ mean?"
Su Yuan took a deep breath, revealing an expression of the resolve often seen on hot-blooded protagonists:
"You there, don’t underestimate the bonds of friendship between us! The invisible chains that control the heart are nothing. Watch as I break them!"
"Ha?"
Fake Chu Jiang was baffled.
"This is an ability derived from the off-branch of the Primordial Dao. What makes you, a lower-rank cultivator, think you can break it?"
"Of course, it’s the power of friendship and bonds!"
Su Yuan shouted, and a Corruption Golden Core, emitting a faint red glow with a metallic sheen, was spat out.
It was the Corruption Golden Core!
Appearing in the outside world, the Corruption Golden Core shone brightly, red lights instantly linking to the four controlled Nascent Soul cultivators, initiating a sacrificial rite.
Under the bewildered gaze of Fake Chu Jiang, Su Yuan mercilessly drained the cultivation of the four Nascent Souls!
"Su Yuan, it’s all up to you now!"
Taibai Phecda tightly held the hand of the Spiritual Glass Fairy and disintegrated into dust.
Demon Refining True Monarch: "Protect my daughter."
Zhu Qingqing: "Boss, take care of my physical body and my ancestor’s matters!"
As the words fell, the four logged off.
Feeling the extreme abundance of spiritual power within the Corruption Golden Core, Su Yuan’s eyes were filled with determination:
"See that? The shackles of fate have been broken! From now on, I will carry my master’s will and continue to fight you."
Fake Chu Jiang: "..."
What do you mean the shackles of fate have been broken? You clearly killed those causing problems!
You call this the power of friendship and bonds?
Whose friendship and bonds are like this!
Even though this is an Illusion Realm World, your actions are way too abstract.
Nevertheless, with Su Yuan’s recent actions, his combat power rose significantly.
The pure energy drawn from the four Nascent Souls could fully function as high-quality Nascent Soul-level spiritual power.
This way, Su Yuan, with the physical body of Nascent Soul Peak, also attained corresponding cultivation, greatly enhancing all his divine techniques, including the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder.
The dark purple tribulation thunder struck relentlessly, forcing Fake Chu Jiang’s chains to retreat in defeat!
However, this fellow is indeed tenacious. Even now, Su Yuan couldn’t devour much of the Primordial Dao from him.
It was time to up the ante again!
"The time has come to utilize the power of the people and the masses!"
Su Yuan’s gaze was firm as billions of red lights suddenly extended from the Corruption Golden Core!
Fake Chu Jiang: "Hey, hey, you wouldn’t attack everyone in the Taixu World, would you? That’s too extreme!"
