Chapter 134: Chapter 134
“Greetings to the Family Leader!!”
Su Yang and the others bowed respectfully.
“So this is the patriarch of the Su family, the one who has cultivated so many heaven-defying geniuses!!”
“I can’t see through him, his cultivation cannot be fathomed. His body is like a boundless Infinity, within him like limitless chaos. Just what level has he reached!!”
“Heavens!! From him I can sense at least forty Dao auras!!”
“Forty?? That’s because your cultivation is too weak. I see a hundred!!”
An even more terrifying being fell into silent stillness. Curled up in the starry sky, he muttered to himself:
“A hundred Daos?? Hah… this man carries at least a thousand Great Daos. For this reason alone, my family shall abandon the Northern Wasteland. With him here, the Northern Wasteland cannot be touched!”
Countless mighty ones stared at Su Zhou in horror. No matter how heaven-shaking their own cultivation, none could pierce through Su Zhou’s level.
They only felt that Su Zhou was like chaos itself, immeasurable and unfathomable!
“You are… the Su family patriarch!!”
Wang Tianfang felt the other was inscrutable, his divine soul sweeping across yet unable to sense any trace of Su Zhou’s cultivation.
But one who could raise so many terrifying geniuses…
How could this patriarch of the Su family possibly be a mortal!
There was only one possibility…
His cultivation far surpassed his own!!
Wang Tianfang’s thoughts raced.
“Our family has no wish to be your enemy!”
“Withdraw your people, my family is willing to hand over half the resources of the two domains, co-govern with the Su family, and acknowledge the Su family as lord!”
“Patriarch Su, will you let this matter pass!!”
Without hesitation, Wang Tianfang offered a condition almost impossible to refuse.
This was nearly to make the entire Wang family into the Su family’s vassal.
Even the ancient existences of the Wang family, who had remained in deep seclusion, could no longer remain still.
A massive divine origin shattered, and from within emerged an elder so ancient he barely resembled a man.
“Wang Tianfang, what are you doing!”
“The honor of the Heavenly Fire Wang family, where have you placed it!!”
The old man’s voice was incomparably aged.
Yet Wang Tianfang ignored him completely, still staring tightly at that towering figure.
Su Zhou glanced at Wang Tianfang, the corner of his lips lifting in a faint smile: “A clever man indeed. No wonder you’ve reached this step…”
“Not everyone is as clever as you…” Su Zhou spoke indifferently.
From behind him, a terrifying meteor came roaring!!
It was that ancient Wang family elder making his move. His cultivation had also reached Great Circle of Sun Veiling.
“To offend my Heavenly Fire Wang family is a crime punishable by death!”
“Your family’s bloodline shall fall into base status, men to be slaves, women to be prostitutes!!”
“Only thus can today’s humiliation be washed away!!”
The old man roared in fury.
The meteor fell, and heaven and earth trembled.
Yet Su Zhou did not even turn to look.
The space behind him simply continued to collapse!
That terrifying meteor shattered in an instant.
“Hmph!! If you do not awaken now, then when!!”
Feeling Su Zhou’s terrifying power, the old man roared toward the Wang family.
From the deepest abyss of the Wang family, ten colossal divine origins shattered one after another.
From them emerged elders so ancient they were like withered husks, reeking of death and decay.
But each one possessed cultivation at the Great Circle of Sun Veiling!
They were the final foundation of the Wang family, the strongest in its history.
For generations, at least half the resources of the two domains had been poured into sustaining their longevity.
If the Wang family fell, they too could not live.
Thus, without hesitation, the ten Great Circle elders struck together.
Ten towering figures descended!!
Without pause, their strikes were killing blows.
An incomparably mighty Flame Dao erupted once more.
Under the joint attack of the ten, this Flame Dao seemed to descend upon the mortal world itself!
Everything in the surroundings was dragged into the flames!
Heaven and earth! All things! Even the firmament!
It was as though everything was fire!!
This terrifying sight made heaven and earth tremble, the sky itself burning.
Yet seeing this, Su Zhou showed no fear.
The corner of his lips even curved upward slightly.
He charged toward those figures.
Wherever he passed, the Flame Dao retreated.
“Hmph!! Offend my Wang family, and die!!” roared a tall elder who rushed forward.
Upon his fist gathered the combined power of ten Great Circle experts.
One punch fell, burning all creation!!
But Su Zhou did not retreat, instead he advanced, extending a fist of his own and smashing down violently.
On the fist-wind, ten thousand dragons roared!
“Celestial Dragons!! Ten Thousand Daos!!”
In an instant, countless furious dragons manifested from Su Zhou’s fist, slaughtering all beings, overturning the heavens themselves!!
“What!!!” The elder felt the terrifying force of that fist and turned pale with fright.
Tens of thousands of fragmented dragons soared skyward, directly swallowing and annihilating him!!
The shrill screams rang out unendingly.
“What a terrifying man! Don’t hold back, attack together!!” The other elders exchanged glances and pressed down at once.
In that moment, azure flames froze all living beings, even space crystallized.
Demonic flames swayed faintly, manifesting ten thousand phantasmal demons!
Scarlet flames roared, green ghost-fire crept forward to slaughter…
In an instant, they each unleashed their own innate heavenly fire.
Together, they drowned Su Zhou’s body in annihilation.
Each of these flames was deeper and more dreadful than Wang Tianfang’s.
Indeed, “ginger is spicier the older it gets”*—there was no holding back, no saving face. Their strike was full force, a collective assault!
[*A proverb meaning the older and more experienced are wiser and more formidable]
“Patriarch!!!” Su Yang and the others were stunned, their minds utterly blank.
Seeing flames that burned even the heavens and space itself, they felt their hearts… shatter…
“Your sword Dao is good, but do not leave yourself with regret!”
“Remember this—‘As heaven maintains its vigor through movement, a gentleman should strive unceasingly.’”
“As one of the Su family, even if heaven itself is jealous, I can protect you!”
“Seek your own Dao. No matter when, if you turn back, I will surely be here!”
Scene after scene, word after word resurfaced in their minds.
That patriarch who had once given them everything, who provided them with all,
The one who had pulled them from the darkness with his own hands…
At that moment… these prodigies destined to one day tread upon the myriad worlds, all wept blood from their eyes.
“The patriarch is dead… all else here is meaningless…”
Su Yang murmured, the nine-tribulation sword phantom within him trembling madly.
“Hah! Without the patriarch, what kind of destiny am I!!”
In Su Chensha’s eyes, the Heavenly Dao was merciless, his killing intent like a sea. The apocalyptic Heavenly Dao of the Mythic Age seemed about to return!
“Ahhhh!!! How dare you! How dare you!!!”
Su Nan roared, gods withered and demons fell behind him, as though an even more terrifying existence was about to be born!!
“Teacher, if I should die, may you release your full strength to suppress and kill them.”
Su Yan whispered in his heart…
“Hmph! And I thought he was so terrifying! Boasting of exterminating my Wang family!”
“But that’s all he is!”
“Wang Tianfang, your courage is far too small!!” sneered an elder coldly.
Though one family elder had fallen, a great crisis had been avoided.
But in Wang Tianfang’s eyes, there was not the least joy, only deeper despair!
“I told you you were clever, but there are too many fools in the Wang family.”
At that moment, Su Zhou’s voice rang again, that detached figure overlooking all.
“What!! You… you weren’t already…”
In the terrified gaze of the Wang family elders, the corner of Su Zhou’s lips curled into a smile.
Then, another towering figure emerged upon the horizon.
He gazed coldly at the crowd.
“Even when you all went all-out, you could not defeat my avatar. Such a Wang family dares to provoke my family!!”
Su Zhou’s indifferent words seemed to drag them all into a boundless netherworld.
