Chapter 478 They were just a pair of star-crossed lovers! (3.2K views, please subscribe!)

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Upon hearing the false accusations from the fake Chu Jiang, Su Yuan retorted seriously:
"What do you mean by extreme? What I'm doing is clearly gathering the collective willpower of all living beings to create a Spirit Bomb that can defeat the big boss. That's how it always goes in the finale of a shonen manga."

Upon hearing this, not only the fake Chu Jiang, but even Chen Nuoyi and the others watching from afar fell silent.

Blood sacrifice is blood sacrifice, why do you call this gathering the power of all living beings' wishes?

The Yuan Sect's cadres couldn't stand your sophistry.

Regardless of the circumstances, enhancing one's own combat power through the blood sacrifice ritual of the Corrupted Golden Elixir is the optimal solution.

For the sake of the real people in Shixian City, Su Yuan had no choice but to let the people of the Illusionary World suffer, and he would bear the blame.

Beams of red light burst forth from the battlefield, surging into the three realms and precisely taking root in the bodies of one cultivator after another.

As the blood sacrifice ritual began, their bodies rapidly withered, and in the blink of an eye, all their vital energy and cultivation were drained.

This phenomenon is not limited to a particular town or city, but occurs simultaneously on every inch of the Taixu World, and even the fish in the sea cannot escape it.

Hundreds of millions of cultivators and ordinary people perished, and everything they possessed became resources for Su Yuan to fight against the fake Chu Jiang.

Even though most of the people sacrificed were illusions or projections of the people of the Ten Immortals City, the demonic energy on Su Yuan's body still surged upwards.

In the blink of an eye, his demonic power became more than ten times stronger than before.

With the concerted efforts of hundreds of millions of people in the Taixu World, Su Yuan's combat power has reached an unprecedented peak!
"Those who follow the righteous path receive abundant support, while those who stray from it receive little! False Chu Jiang, take this punch that embodies the collective faith of all beings!"

With a roar, Su Yuan swallowed the corrupted golden elixir, which contained endless blood and cultivation, into his stomach. The vast blood and pure spiritual power within it suddenly exploded within Su Yuan's body.

When this enormous and immeasurable mass of blood and pure spiritual energy exploded, Su Yuan's physical body immediately swelled up like an inflated balloon.

If his physical body hadn't been strengthened by the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord, he probably would have been burst apart the moment he received this power!

Su Yuan stabilized the surging power within his body as quickly as possible, disregarding its destructive potential, and integrated it into every single cell of his body.

Immediately, he took a step forward, and a punch containing boundless power shattered the surrounding space, instantly appearing in front of the fake Chu Jiang.

Faced with a punch that could almost blast him into dust, the fake Chu Jiang decisively abandoned the so-called struggle for the Great Dao.

Su Yuan instantly gained a huge advantage in the battle for the Primordial Dao, and a large amount of Primordial Essence was taken into his possession during the collision of the tribulation lightning and the Heavenly Lock.

However, at the same time, by making a drastic decision, the fake Chu Jiang reactivated the defensive tactic that could turn all unfavorable factors into illusions and make them disappear.

Su Yuan's punch was powerful, but the probability of it missing or going astray was not small at all.

If nothing unexpected happens, this punch will be easily dodged by him, just like all the previous attacks on the fake Chu Jiang.

But then, the unexpected happened!
boom--

The fist landed heavily on the fake Chu Jiang's face, and the other man's calm and composed expression suddenly twisted and deformed.

Without any room for maneuver, the force of Su Yuan's fist surged into the fake Chu Jiang's body without reservation, causing his already weak body to rumble.

In the blink of an eye, his body was like shattered porcelain, covered in cracks, from which blood gushed out.

"With 20,000 units of luck, kid!"

Su Yuan sneered, and the abyssal spiritual power that had invaded the fake Chu Jiang's body was like a greedy tentacle, constantly sweeping away the massive amount of primordial essence.

"It even modifies one's luck... You really are cheating, aren't you?"

As the fake Chu Jiang opened his mouth to complain, a large amount of blood gushed out, making his voice indistinct, and the shattered skin on his face fell off inch by inch.

At this point, the outcome is decided!
At this point, Su Yuan had already seized more than half of the share of the Hunyuan Dao branch and gained absolute control of the Heavenly Lock.

The moment he gained access to the Heavenly Lock, he lifted the blockade on the three Nascent Soul cultivators, completely unleashing his own forces.

"I won!"

Su Yuan slowly withdrew his fist, looking at the fake Chu Jiang whose life was like a candle flickering in the wind, and his heart was filled with emotion.

After this battle, he gained a clear understanding of the power of Nascent Soul cultivators.

The moment the fake Chu Jiang's identity was exposed, he was suppressed by Xinghe Tianjun and instantly severely injured.

Even in such adversity, he remained like a venomous snake, unleashing disaster upon the entire Ten Immortal Cities. Using the Void World as his battleground, he tenaciously waged a battle against himself and the Star River Heavenly Lord's group.

Along the way, fortunately, there was the Purple Gold Dragon Lord and the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord who understood the greater good, Gui Yuan who found out the forty-nine Nascent Soul projections, and the 'Speedy Demon Cultivation Cheat' cheat.

With three strong allies, even without the fake Chu Jiang, they would still have won.

If every Nascent Soul cultivator were as troublesome as this guy, it's no wonder that the Boundless Tribulation Venerable was unwilling to personally confront him, preferring instead to scheme from the shadows.

However, this incredibly arduous battle was worthwhile!
After the victory, he obtained the Primordial Dao, which was enough to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, restoring peace to the Ten Immortal Cities and eliminating a malignant tumor that could spread at any time for the Blue Star Federation.

"Do you have anything to say before you die?"

Su Yuan stood condescendingly in front of the fake Chu Jiang and asked coldly.

The smile on the fake Chu Jiang's face remained unchanged:

"If you have nothing more to say, please take action immediately."

Su Yuan shook his head regretfully. He had thought that, given the amusing nature of the fake Chu Jiang, he would tell him some information related to the Boundless Calamity Venerable before he died.

Since the other party had nothing to say, Su Yuan no longer hesitated and gathered his power into the dragon claw, ready to deliver the final blow to the fake Chu Jiang.

But just then, this guy sighed again:

"Finally, let me tell you some good news... My very demise is enough to make Boundless Tribulation Venerable realize that a cultivator of the Primordial Dao has appeared in the Blue Star Federation."

“Because if it weren’t for this situation, I would never have exposed my whereabouts, hehe, so I still won.” Upon hearing this, Su Yuan and everyone present were taken aback.

In the end, all they could do was sigh softly.

The secret, hidden for so long, could not be kept in the end.

After a pause, the fake Chu Jiang continued:

"Sigh, actually I didn't want to be exposed either. Rather than being a shadow at the mercy of the Boundless Calamity Venerable, I still prefer the warmth of the Blue Star Federation."

"It's just a pity that you, Su Yuan, have cultivated the Primordial Chaos Dao, which means you are destined to fight me to the death, since I have mastered a branch of the Primordial Chaos Dao."

"In short, we two are truly a pair of star-crossed lovers!"

Su Yuan's face darkened, and his fist, which had been poised to strike, slammed out like a cannonball:
"Go eat dung with your ill-fated lover!"

boom--

With a single punch, the fake Chu Jiang's body was instantly shattered into countless fragments, so fragmented that they couldn't even be pieced back together.

Su Yuan used the Heavenly Lock scroll he had just acquired to absorb all the remaining Primordial Essence within its body.

At this point, the complete branch of the Primordial Chaos Dao was completely in his hands.

"It's finally over... Although it didn't have the best ending, it wasn't the worst either."

Looking at the devastation on the battlefield, Su Yuan let out a long sigh.

Just then, a ding-dong sound rang in Su Yuan's mind.

[Mission Progress 2: Mastering the Foundations of the World (1/1)]

[Mission: The Demonic Cult Rules the Otherworld (Completed)]

[Quest Reward: Demonic Skill - Tiger (Level 5) (Claimable)]

The official completion of the main quest 'New World' also means that the fake Chu Jiang really didn't leave any trump cards behind, and the Taixu World has completely fallen into Su Yuan's control.

"Su Yuan, can we leave here now?"

Qi Hanyue leaned closer and asked expectantly.

Su Yuan turned around and faced the members of the Hero Squad:

"I have already gained access to the Void World, which belongs to all people and things outside the Illusionary World. They can leave whenever they want."

"Not only that..."

With a wave of his hand, Su Yuan conjured four figures into the arena. They were none other than Tai Bai Tianji, Ling Li Fairy, Lian Yao Zhenjun, and Zhu Qingqing, the four teammates who had just been killed by Su Yuan himself.

Among them, Zhu Qingqing's physical body and Fairy Lingli were generated from the data they preserved in the Taixu World.

To put it simply, it's a string of code that can be easily generated and copied as long as the energy in the Void World is sufficient.

Zhu Qingqing's soul, Tai Bai Tianji, and Lian Yao Zhenjun are their original bodies from the real world, which Su Yuan awakened from their slumber.

"...I can recreate all the living beings or objects that once existed in the illusion, and I can also awaken the sleeping bodies of the people of the Ten Immortal Cities, allowing them to walk in the Void World."

Su Yuan slowly added the second half of his statement.

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but show surprise.

Being able to arbitrarily decide the life and death of others and modify the rules of the world, Su Yuan now is no different from the Heavenly Dao of the Taixu World.

Even though it's just being a local tyrant in the Void World, it's still quite remarkable.

In fact, the fake Chu Jiang should have been able to do everything that Su Yuan is currently capable of, but he was restricted by Chu Lanxi.

Otherwise, he could have destroyed the entire Void World the very first second it was created.

"Senior Xinghe, and everyone else, I have a request."

Su Yuan, with a serious expression, expressed his thoughts:
"I hope to preserve the Void World for a longer period of time. I want to make the most of this place and improve my strength."

"For example, relying on the resources in the Great Void World to improve one's cultivation, and then materializing all these improvements into reality before leaving."

"To put it simply, I wish to form my Nascent Soul here, and I need everyone, especially Senior Xinghe, to protect me."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingqing was the first to agree:

"I agree with the boss's proposal! The boss's idea is my idea, and my master and I will do our best to protect the law for the boss!"

In order to get the promises Su Yuan made to her, Zhu Qingqing had already become a loyal maid.

Star River Heavenly Lord also nodded slightly and said:

"Su Yuan, your promotion is the most important thing. No one knows if there are still Shadows of the Abyss in the Blue Star Federation."

"Instead of going out and living in fear of assassination while trying to break through in seclusion, it's better to digest all the gains here in one go."

The Zhu family father and daughter, Xuan Haoran and others naturally had no objections.

Needless to say, even if the Spirit Glass Sword Immortal was just an illusion, a piece of data, he still wanted to spend more time with her in the Void World, just like having a beautiful dream he didn't want to wake up from.

Finally, Su Yuan turned his gaze to Chen Nuoyi, who had remained silent.

Facing Su Yuan's gaze, the girl's expression became slightly strange as she said:

"I have no objection, but Su Yuan, when you mention the resources of the Taixu World, you don't mean human resources, do you?"
