Chapter 2130: First Return (3)
Su Yu laughed and said, "That’s only natural. Fellow Daoist Death Spirit has been trying to fool me. How am I supposed to resurrect the others after handing the two daos to you?
"Therefore, you need to first absorb your essence. I'll resurrect the others before handing the two daos to you. At that point, I won't lose anything even if you decide to turn against me after. Fellow Daoist Death Spirit is quite sly for playing this trick on me."
Behind them, the giant laughed. "Young Daoist, you are overthinking. I have been telling you to not do this at all."
Su Yu looked at the giant and said, "You're not far from a Master of Law, right?"
"I think so."
Boom!
Suddenly, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from the giant's body. Walking forward one step at a time, the giant's smile faded. "I didn't wish to kill you, but you insisted on seeking death. Here, there is no escape for you. You are too far into the death spirit dao. Where can you go now?"
Su Yu pointed behind him and said, "Into the dao of time."
The giant said, "Yes, but you need to escape me alive to do that. Your name is Su Yu, right? You are quite capable. Unfortunately for you, this is my home ground."
"No!" Su Yu shook his head, "This place belongs to the Master of Death. He is the hegemon here, not you. You are a mere projection. A mere clone. A mere imprint. You are not him. The likes of us will never acknowledge the existence of any clones or copies. There is only one of us at a time. You said that only you mattered amid the myriad daos. That is true. And only the true me matters. Do you understand?
"A clone is a clone. An imprint is an imprint. How dare a mere imprint pretend to be me? For me, a clone or an imprint will forever remain a technique. A trick. A tool. Will you treat your tool as your true self? That's stupid."
The giant's expression turned cold. "Even now, you're still provoking me."
"Of course. Why should I fear you?" Su Yu said, "Yes, you're already a Master of Law. Yes, this is your territory. But I have nothing to fear from you."
"You're courting death!"
With a roar, a powerful burst of aura rushed toward Su Yu.
Just as South Heavenly King and the others were about to act, Su Yu said, "Step back. Prepare for your resurrection. Liu Hong!"
Suddenly, the missing Liu Hong roared.
A certain dao attached to the death spirit dao started moving. While moving the ink dao, Liu Hong cursed, "Why did you go so far?"
"Stop wasting time. The powers of life and death are both here. Hurry up already." Su Yu replied.
Liu Hong roared, "Someone! Remove all obstacles in front of me! Now!"
Instantly, numerous experts arrived.
Even Wan Tiansheng and the others arrived. Wan Tiansheng said, "Kill all death spirits on his way. Now. Suppress the death spirit dao. Everyone."
"Attack the dao separately."
Boom!
Countless experts attacked.
The entire world trembled.
While moving the ink dao, Liu Hong roared, "Three Venerables! I need at least three Venerables with me! That guy will try to stop us! We need to deal with that fellow together!"
"It's only a Master of Law! Fuck him up!"
"Fat Ball, Giant Axe, March, come here!"
Giant Axe Marquis and March were still staring blankly. Holy shit! Were even Masters of Laws so easily killed here? They seemed to have encountered two Masters of Laws today.
Death Imperator and that giant.
So even Venerables were side characters here?
Right at that moment, a powerful aura rose afar as Martial Emperor's roar rang out, "Piss off! Damn you! Fight as you wish, but where do you think you're fighting at?"
March and the others looked over in confusion.
Was that Martial Emperor?
Martial Emperor was not causing trouble for no reason. At the moment, September and the others were pursuing a bunch of death spirits, and they had approached Martial Emperor as they fought. For some reason, they were trying to push the death spirits into Martial Emperor's tunnel.
Thus, Martial Emperor was furious. He felt provoked. He had been staying out of the massive battle, but they were provoking him by doing this! In his fury, he punched a recently awakened death spirit apart.
September and the others hurriedly retreated in fear.
Seeing that they were retreating, Martial Emperor snorted, "Don't think that I won't dare to kill you because you're Su Yu's subordinates."
March was alarmed.
September was in danger. That was a terrifying being.
But next, Martial Emperor snorted and said, "So be it. Just piss off. As long as that bastard stops bothering, I can't be bothered to do anything to you either."
Then, he returned to the tunnel. Inside, a creak rang out, as though he had swung a door shut.
Both March and Giant Axe Marquis looked at each other in stupefaction. What? Was that powerful being...running from them? Even when running, he had to act in such a domineering manner. He could act in a cowardly fashion, but he certainly couldn't admit to it.
Just then, Liu Hong's roar rang out again, "Come on! Hey, why are the two of you still there? Are you blind or stupid?"
He was furious.
Were they stupid?
Were the two Venerables from the Upper Realm brainless?
The two had been blanking out throughout the battle. March and Giant Axe Marquis exchanged gazes again. Yes, they were being shouted at. They still recalled how they were big shots in the Upper Realm.
But here...they no longer seemed that impressive.
How embarrassing.
The two said nothing and followed Liu Hong in silence. Even as he was moving the ink dao, Liu Hong moved rapidly. Before anyone knew it, he was already at the end of the death spirit dao.
Boom!
Right at that moment, a powerful aura erupted as a gigantic trident arrived. Surprise could be heard in the giant's voice as it spoke, "Someone actually opened a secret dao in my dao? Damn it! How can I not know this?"
"It's only natural that we hide this from you. It's supposed to be a secret dao, right?"
Liu Hong roared, "Venerables, fuck him up! Are you going to watch as he messes me up?"
He was losing his mind. Why were these Venerables so dim-witted? This was so annoying. He much preferred working with smart people. When working with smart people, he only needed to assume the correct pose and the other would know what to do. But these brutes needed to be ordered every step of the way.
And thus, three Venerables and more heavenly kings moved. Their powers entered the ink dao before spreading into the death spirit dao, pushing even the giant back one step.
At the same time, Su Yu roared with laughter as the powers of life and death poured out of the ink dao. On one end, the ink dao was connected to the end of the death spirit dao. On the other end, it was connected to the edge of chaos.
"Fellow Daoist Death Spirit, I win. Everyone, enter the ink dao, cross the edge of chaos, and enter my world to be reborn!"
Boom!
The entire world was shaking as numerous death spirits rushed into the ink dao. The entire ink dao grew unstable, causing Liu Hong to roar with desperation, "Your Majesty, push that bastard off! We can't keep this up with that fellow around!"
Su Yu roared as well, "What nonsense request is that? I need to maintain the powers of life and death here. I don't have the luxury to do anything else. March, Giant Axe, and Fat Ball. Get in here through the ink dao. Fuck this guy up together!"
With that, the experts entered the death spirit dao through the ink dao.
The entire death spirit dao shook as it resisted violently upon sensing the intrusion of living beings. The rejection of the dao caused the auras of the three to fall the moment they were inside the death spirit dao. The giant sneered, "Are you courting death by entering as living beings?"
"Just keep this guy busy for now!"
Su Yu roared again. That was the best they could do for now. He was busy maintaining the powers of life and death. He had to transfer South Heavenly King and the others to his world. He also needed to borrow from the powers of life and death at the intersection to resurrect them all.
"World invasion!"
He roared.
And then, the tiny world of Su Yu took advantage of the distraction to encroach upon the Death Realm. Up above, a book and a token were eroding the grasp the death spirit dao had over the Death Realm.
Since they were already fighting, there was no point in holding back from stealing death's territory.
"You're courting death!"
Boom!
After sending March and Giant Axe Marquis flying with its trident, the giant clashed against Fat Ball.
Su Yu hurriedly gathered a large amount of life power before looking at South Heavenly King and Marquis Lanshan. He smiled, "Who shall be the first?"
Just then, He Tu volunteered, "Your Majesty, I'll go first."
Su Yu laughed and said, "There is no rush. You already went first for the essence absorption. Let someone else take the first for this."
Fuck!
What an asshole!
This bastard would always claim that all women were obstacles to cultivation, but when it mattered, he still held onto the principle of ladies first!
Damn it!
He Tu sulked.
Right at that moment, a stream of powerful life force entered Marquis Lanshan's body. Su Yu said, "Lanshan will go first. Liu Hong, sever her death spirit dao and guide her into my world."
"Okay."
Boom!
Instantly, the ink dao cut itself off. At the same time, Marquis Lanshan started alternating between black and white as two different powers raged within her. Next, she flew out of the ink dao. Outside, Su Yu's world awaited.
She had been there before. But this time, her experience was entirely different. She could feel her flesh and blood for real. She could feel the rejection of the power of death.
She was stunned.
Had she...returned to life?
She looked down at her palms blankly. Suddenly, Su Yu shouted, "Hurry up and fuse with a dao within my world! Find one that is compatible to you! Watch out!"
Boom!
Rumbling sounds rang out from both the death spirit dao and Su Yu's dao. Both were attacking Marquis Lanshan.
The world was denying her resurrection.
To return from death was not the natural order of things.
In the blink of an eye, Marquis Lanshan was dyed entirely black again.
She wailed with pain, but the pain...felt great!
"Hahaha! I can finally feel pain again!"
Marquis Lanshan was wild with joy. Pain! Heavens! She had finally regained that sensation!
Su Yu shouted again, "Shut up! Reform your clothes! Are you going to bare yourself fully to all those old perverts?"
"..."
Silence engulfed the world.
The older experts among Su Yu's people grimaced.
Who was he calling old perverts?
Was he trying to insult them?
Marquis Lanshan blinked, but next, she continued laughing. Boundless carefreeness could be heard in her laughter.
"Sure. I will only bare myself to Your Majesty, nobody else! Hahaha! I'm actually very pretty, Your Majesty!"
Boom!
But right after that, a bolt of lightning struck her, scorching her entire body. Su Yu was left speechless. How was that pretty?
Heh.
Yet another overconfident woman.
Suddenly, the entire world started shaking. Su Yu's dao, the death spirit dao, the time dao, and even Human Emperor's dao shook violently.
One of the dead had returned to life.
A true resurrection had been achieved.
