Chapter 576: Breaking Through the Encirclement
"Humph, understood."
Tai Yi Hundun snorted coldly, watching Ren Woxiao leave.
After Ren Woxiao had left, his expression turned gloomy.
Eventually, he sighed deeply and said, "Just because I was slower than others, does that mean I can't have what I want?"
No one answered him.
Tai Yi Hundun sat alone on this star for a long time, finally departing without a trace of expression on his face.
If word of two seemingly incompatible Hongmeng Divine Spirits laughing and talking here were to get out, it would surely cause a tremendous shock in both Hongmeng and Chaos.
...
The Lost Realm.
Boom—
Su Yie punched a terrifying demon beast, standing a thousand meters tall, into flying ashes. The punch was so powerful that it even collapsed half of the mountains on either side.
Nan Xiaopao subconsciously hugged Su Lingding tightly to protect her from the wild wind.
Along the way, they had encountered too many demon beasts, savage beasts, barbaric beasts, and even evil ghosts.
The moment these creatures saw any living beings, they attacked like mad, fully demonstrating what Hell was like.
Fortunately, so far, the trio hadn't encountered an enemy beyond the Saint Realm.
"Have you noticed that the further we go, the stronger the enemies we encounter?"
Nan Xiaopao suddenly spoke up, having just experienced a battle, while Su Lingding was still sound asleep.
This little girl had already grown accustomed to the tumult of battle.
"Only by moving forward can we find a way out, and at the same time, become stronger."
Su Yie whispered, having not stopped consuming pills along the way. He could already feel the shackles of the Manifesting Saint Realm.
It's worth mentioning that his physical strength had reached one hundred and ten million Dragon's Strength. Trying to increase it further was extremely difficult.
Originally, he wanted to invite Su Lingding into Emperor Su's Sect, but Su Lingding was still too young and lacked spiritual wisdom. Even if invited, she wouldn't understand what it meant to agree.
Moreover, according to another Su Lingding from a different timeline, she never joined Emperor Su's Sect.
Su Yie did not want to disrupt Su Lingding's fate.
If Emperor Su's Sect were involved, would Su Lingding still need to find him through the Gate of the Great Dao?
Would he still get to meet the Heavenly Emperor, the Polar Emperor?
However, given Su Yie's cultivation, he likely wouldn't be affected; at most, it would create a parallel universe.
Su Yie shook his head, contemplating time and space gave him a headache.
"We've been walking for two months, but the terrain ahead still looks much the same as before. Could this be why it's called the Lost Realm?"
Nan Xiaopao muttered beside Su Yie, her concern already noticed by Su Yie, but they were helpless.
Unless they stopped, they could only move forward.
The constant battling also helped Su Yie practice his Divine Skills, integrating and strengthening them, and his actual combat ability was increasing daily.
Meanwhile, in the Reincarnation Land above the Lost Realm.
The Venerable Lord of Reincarnation's face had already appeared from the Sky Dome, with the Prison Tower Lord floating in mid-air, looking down below.
"Do you think he can make it out?"
The Venerable Lord of Reincarnation asked emotionlessly.
The Prison Tower Lord instinctively looked up at him, then cautiously said, "Although he possesses secret techniques, they come at a cost, and the time they last is not long. Escaping from the Lost Realm is indeed too difficult."
"Furthermore, in both the Yin and Yang Realms, there are eternal Heavenly Prides vying inside. Each has their own reliance, and the Lost Realm allows only one to escape every ten thousand years. For the Celestial Authority Demon Star to break out, it is indeed too difficult."
As he spoke, he shook his head, clearly feeling regret for Su Yie's situation.
He greatly admired Su Yie, even though Su Yie had attacked him on Li Huahun's behalf.
"He claims he is Emperor Su, do you believe him?"
The Venerable Lord of Reincarnation once again inquired, causing the Prison Tower Lord to furrow his brows deeply.
When Su Yie had spoken those words initially, he had not taken them to heart at all.
"Even with the Celestial Authority Demon Star invoking the secret technique, at most, he could match the Victorious Fighting Buddha. But considering Emperor Su's Sect, which is a hiding place for crouching tigers and hidden dragons, it would be impossible for him to suppress so many strong opponents if he were Emperor Su."
The Prison Tower Lord shook his head, filled with curiosity about the mysterious Emperor Su.
Upon hearing this, the Venerable Lord of Reincarnation pondered aloud, "Let's see how it goes, perhaps the Celestial Authority Demon Star might have the last laugh. If that's indeed the case, his offenses will be forgiven, and he will be allowed to leave."
"The Saintly Talent Chessboard is nearing its completion, and the Reincarnation Land should also select the appropriate pieces. Observe the Celestial Authority Demon Star and use him as the model to create the pieces!"
Upon these words, the Prison Tower Lord's complexion changed, and his eyes were filled with delight.
In the past, the Venerable Lord of Reincarnation contended for nothing, which secretly worried him.
Now that the Venerable Lord of Reincarnation was willing to compete, he felt his blood boiling with excitement!
...
Lost Realm.
The landscape was undulating as two figures collided swiftly amongst the mountains.
Their mana was boundless and their strength immense, causing the surrounding mountains to tremble, yet without damaging them.
They moved as fast as rainbow light, causing the space within thousands of miles to subtly fluctuate.
With a loud bang!
They rebounded off each other, landing on two adjacent mountaintops.
One of them was none other than Tian Cheng Divine Monarch, valiant and handsome, with eyes bright like torches, truly a deity incarnate.
The other was a man with three heads and eight arms, built like a barbaric beast, his long hair cascading loose, his face blue and fangs fierce, wrapped in shining armor, with an aura of sheer ferocity.
"Tian Cheng Divine Monarch! Is that all you've got? You're unworthy of being the Son of the Heavenly Emperor, far behind Emperor Ming, the Heaven-Bearing Emperor, and the Celestial Martial Emperor!"
The eight-armed man sneered, his words dripping with scorn.
A cold glint flashed in Tian Cheng Divine Monarch's eyes as he flipped his right hand, summoning a treasured sword with a golden hilt and a red heart-shaped blade that made the space twist wildly, with faint hints of thunder and lightning flickering.
"King Li You, you dare to challenge the Son of the Heavenly Emperor? Do you know what consequences await you?"
Tian Cheng Divine Monarch said coldly, and as his voice fell, numerous doppelgangers emerged above King Li You's head.
There were a hundred avatars!
All of their auras erupted, like the sky collapsing upon King Li You.
King Li You's face drastically changed, and he stammered, "How can this be… these doppelgangers..."
He could not differentiate the original from the doppelgangers, as each one seemed equally powerful.
Tian Cheng Divine Monarch's expression remained unflinching as all hundred avatars charged at King Li You.
Boom—
...
"Su Yie, be careful not to let her trip over,"
Nan Xiaopao's voice came from behind, filled with laughter.
Su Yie was pretending to be a ferocious ghost, scaring Su Lingding who was stumbling ahead, crying continuously.
The reason he was scaring Su Lingding was this little girl had become increasingly bold and dared to bite him while he was cultivating!
Just then, a figure darted from the front.
It was unmistakably King Li You, who, at that moment, was covered in blood with a head and four arms missing, looking extremely miserable.
Su Yie gestured with his right hand, and Su Lingding fell into Nan Xiaopao's arms.
King Li You swiftly passed over their heads, but he soon stopped, abruptly turning back to look at Su Yie.
"Such a powerful blood energy; if I consumed him, my injuries would definitely recover rapidly!"
King Li You fixed his gaze on Su Yie, thinking to himself with secret delight.
