Chapter 2244: Chapter 2244
The Asura King was well aware of his situation; he dared not challenge so many Saints.
First of all, his strength among the Saints was only considered average, lacking any intimidating force.
Moreover, if a war were truly to break out, even a battle among Saints, these people would not fear him. If the Saints of the Seven Realms united against him, he couldn't even imagine the potential outcome.
Therefore, the Asura King could only grit his teeth, but dared not remain overly aggressive.
Over there, Tu Yuan was beaten to the point where there was no way to ascend to the heavens or descend to the earth, continuously screaming. Several times he tried to escape, but was stopped by Su Yang with all his might.
Despite this, Tu Yuan was at an absolute disadvantage, yet the fight continued for more than a month.
During this month, Tu Yuan's physical body shattered tens of thousands of times, but he could not be killed; his broken body always managed to recover. Even if only a trace of blood remained, he could rapidly regenerate.
Eventually, Tu Yuan's physical body was nearly gone, yet his Primordial Spirit remained strong.
"Su Yang, I...I surrender, I surrender..." Tu Yuan's Primordial Spirit gasped, "I will return to the Asura Realm and never step foot into the Human World again!"
"Hmph, now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!" Su Yang said coldly.
Tu Yuan's Primordial Spirit frowned, "Su Yang, do you really think you can kill me? Killing a Saint, do you really think it's that simple? Even if I stood here without moving and let you kill me, after tens of thousands of years, you wouldn't be able to destroy my Primordial Spirit. Within my Primordial Spirit, I have the Saint's Heart, which is the Tao of the universe's operation. Can you extinguish the Tao of the universe's operation?"
Su Yang furrowed his brow; he didn't understand what the Saint's Heart was. But from the looks of it, the Saint's Heart was truly extraordinary.
His power was stronger than Tu Yuan's, but he still needed the Secret Technique from the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book to defeat Tu Yuan.
If not for these Secret Techniques, it would likely be Su Yang who had been killed by now.
The difference between them was merely the Saint's Heart. How powerful the Saint's Heart must be!
Although shocked at heart, Su Yang still did not let Tu Yuan go. Wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, he charged up again, coldly saying, "Even if it takes tens of thousands of years, I will kill you!"
Tu Yuan's Primordial Spirit was furious, attempting to flee, but was still pulled back by Su Yang.
Su Yang attacked with all his might, trying to shatter Tu Yuan's Primordial Spirit. But after another few days passed, the result remained the same: Su Yang could not utterly annihilate Tu Yuan's Primordial Spirit.
At this moment, the Asura King began to sneer, "I didn't expect that, at the critical moment, Tu Yuan integrated the Saint's Heart into his Primordial Spirit. Hmph, now, if Su thinks he can kill him, that's pure fantasy. I don't believe that the borrowed power can extinguish the Saint's Heart!"
The other Saints furrowed their brows as well; this was a situation they hadn't anticipated.
They all knew Tu Yuan just sensed the Saint's Heart and hadn't merged with it. Without merging, it would be much simpler to kill him.
But now that Tu Yuan had merged with the Saint's Heart, this situation became difficult to handle. Consequently, Su Yang couldn't possibly kill him!
"The Saint's Heart he merged with is only thirty percent. From now on, his path as a Saint ends here; he can't further any fraction!" The Heavenly Realm Saint said coldly.
The other Saints recognized this too, and they all laughed. Just as the Heavenly Realm Saint said, Tu Yuan was forced to merge with the Saint's Heart in a tense moment. But it wasn't a complete Saint's Heart; by merging, his cultivation path was now completely blocked.
In other words, Tu Yuan would forever be the weakest among the Saints. Under such circumstances, Tu Yuan's competitiveness among the Saints had greatly diminished!
The Asura King furrowed his brow, but after a moment, he became relieved.
At this moment, Tu Yuan being able to keep his life was already fortunate enough; what more could be asked?
Even if Tu Yuan couldn't improve in the future, what does it matter? He remains a Saint, possessing the Saint's deterrence!
The Asura Clan always has two Saints, they won't end up at the bottom of the Eight Realms like the Land of Extreme Cold and Land of Red Flame!
"Qi Tian, Tu Yuan won't die; it seems you lost the bet this time!" the Asura King said cheerfully to the demon clan monkey.
The monkey's face was grim, originally thinking Tu Yuan was doomed, but no one anticipated such a turn of events.
"You can't kill me!" Tu Yuan's Primordial Spirit continued to mutter, "Su, stop wasting your energy. Let me go now and I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, don't blame me, a Saint, for directly attacking the mortals of your Human World!"
Su Yang gritted his teeth, not responding to Tu Yuan's words. In his heart, he was calculating how he could possibly extinguish Tu Yuan's Primordial Spirit.
After a while, he realized that brute force alone couldn't kill Tu Yuan's Primordial Spirit. Therefore, he could only rely on other methods!
Su Yang pondered for a while and suddenly remembered the Devouring the World.
Devouring the World, reputedly could devour anything in the world.
If he could devour a Saint's Primordial Spirit, would it have any effect?
Previously, Su Yang didn't dare devour people much stronger than him because his meridians couldn't withstand it.
Now, cultivated to this level, as long as a scrap of flesh remains, he can still recover.
Su Yang's bones are so hard, he doesn't fear such a strong power. So, at this moment, even if he uses Devouring the World to devour Tu Yuan's Primordial Spirit, Su Yang will not be in danger, just that this power hitting his body might be difficult to bear!
Thinking of this, Su Yang didn't delay. He took a deep breath and directly summoned the illusion of Devouring the World.
Immediately, the Xuanyuan Sword in Su Yang's hand swiftly attacked, splitting Tu Yuan's Primordial Spirit into tens of thousands of fragments.
The illusion of Devouring the World opened its mouth and devoured all the shattered Primordial Spirit.
Originally, Tu Yuan was still shouting loudly, but after being devoured by the illusion, he instantly felt something was wrong and began to scream miserably.
The other Saints were stunned, watching all of this in amazement, unsure of what was happening.
After Tu Yuan's Primordial Spirit was devoured, everyone saw only that within the illusion, the Primordial Spirit was rapidly refined. Then it completely vanished, as if it had never existed.
Saint Tu Yuan, Primordial Spirit utterly destroyed, this Saint utterly perished!
At this moment, all the Saints were shocked. They were all staring wide-eyed at the illusion behind Su Yang, pondering in their hearts what kind of secret technique this was that possessed such power?
Devouring the Primordial Spirit was one thing, but what about the fused Saint's Heart? This illusion, even capable of devouring the Saint's Heart? How could everyone accept this?
