Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

The skin on the back of my hand was corroded, leaving a small, barely noticeable red patch.

A very faint trace of blood seeped out.

Break the defense.

but.

Just as Su Yu withdrew the Heavenly Demon Path.

The corroded red spot healed instantly at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Not even a scar was left.

The feedback from the immortal matter endowed this physical body with an almost superhuman self-healing ability.

"It seems so."

Su Yu looked at his smooth, unblemished hand, lost in thought.

"The attack power of the Heavenly Demon Path is a level higher than that of the Space Path."

Spatial segmentation focuses on the separation of physical dimensions.

The corruption of the Heavenly Demon Path, however, is damage at the level of the Great Dao itself.

It is even more domineering.

"Once we find the ashes of the Great Void Calamity, we will make use of the Heavenly Demon Dao."

"This is absolutely an invincible trump card."

Su Yu composed himself.

I glanced at the system panel.

The remaining balance is 10 billion star years.

"Keep spending money on in-game purchases."

Su Yu planned to use all his energy to improve the Great Dao of Space.

Let's see if we can upgrade it to the point of perfect reversal.

Just now.

hum.

The communication jade slip at his waist suddenly lit up with a rapid light.

It is Venerable Shepherd of the Stars.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow and exited the deduction space.

Consciousness returns to reality.

The bottom of the Abyss Demon Well.

Su Yu picked up the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.

"senior!"

The voice of Venerable Shepherd Star was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Found it!"

"The whereabouts of the Ashes of the Great Void have been found!"

Su Yu's eyes narrowed.

"Where?"

"The Central Divine Land, a land of calamity!"

Venerable Shepherd quickly reported the intelligence.

"This is one of my stewards who is responsible for exploring dangerous places. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the aura of the Great Void Ashes in a spatial rift."

"But that place is very troublesome."

The Venerable Shepherd's tone became serious.

"A place of calamity."

"That's a forbidden area guarded by the Hunyuan Dao Palace."

Hunyuan Dao Palace.

One of the top powers in the Origin God Realm.

It is guarded by a true supreme god, and its foundation is unfathomable.

It is far beyond the reach of trading forces like the Xinghai Chamber of Commerce or the Huanyu Business Alliance.

"Calamity is an extremely strange and mysterious disaster."

Venerable Shepherd explained.

"It is not ordinary water, but a liquid calamity formed by the fusion of countless broken and chaotic laws."

"Once contaminated, even immortal matter will be instantly polluted and corroded."

"The calamity in that area will spontaneously generate all sorts of mutated laws, wreaking havoc in all directions."

"If left unchecked, the scourge will expand indefinitely, devouring the surrounding star systems."

"Therefore, the Hunyuan Dao Palace imprisoned him and stationed a large number of troops to guard him."

Su Yu listened.

"Since it's forbidden area, is it possible to go in?"

"able!"

Venerable Shepherd Star answered quickly.

"Although the Hunyuan Dao Palace guards the forbidden area, they are also troubled by the unlimited expansion of the disaster."

"They simply can't handle the cleanup on their own."

"Therefore, they have always kept their qualifications open to the public, welcoming powerful figures from all major forces to enter and clean up the troublemakers."

"As long as you can help clean up the mess, you can find opportunities inside; it all depends on your abilities."

"Especially after the Calamity Water is refined, there is a chance that a companion divine object called 'Purifying Calamity Dao Crystal' will be extracted. This object is an extremely pure product after the Chaotic Laws are purified. It can be directly integrated into the body to enhance the strength of the Great Dao, and it also has an irreplaceable miraculous effect on nurturing immortal substances."

"I have already applied for two entry qualifications in the name of Xinghai Chamber of Commerce."

Venerable Shepherd paused.

"only."

"The location of the Taixu Calamity Ashes is in the deepest part of the Land of Calamity, where the surrounding spatial laws are extremely chaotic."

"Moreover, it does not exist on the surface, but is deep within a chaotic multidimensional space."

"It will require your personal intervention to remove it."

Su Yu held the jade slip and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

He originally intended to continue his seclusion.

Because we still have 10 billion star years in our hands.

You can spend real money on the Great Wall.

It can also continue to condense immortal matter.

But after thinking about it...

My current strength has reached its limit at this stage.

Even if one goes into seclusion again, it will be difficult to achieve a qualitative leap in a short period of time.

More importantly, the Heavenly Demon Path requires the ashes of the Great Void Calamity to make a wish in order to be utilized.

The sooner you get it, the sooner you can unlock this trump card.

and so.

Send me the coordinates.

Su Yu made his decision without hesitation.

"I'm coming right now."

……

Half a day later.

The heartland of China.

The edge of a vast star field shrouded in endless chaotic currents.

This is the entrance to the land of calamity.

Su Yu, dressed in a plain robe, stepped out from the void.

In front.

Venerable Shepherd had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Su Yu appear, Venerable Mu Xing immediately came forward to greet him.

"senior."

Venerable Shepherd bowed respectfully.

He secretly glanced at Su Yu.

My heart skipped a beat.

I can't see through it.

It's completely unfathomable.

If Su Yu in the past was like a bottomless black hole, inspiring instinctive fear...

So now, Su Yu is like nothingness.

Standing here, it feels as if I don't exist in this time and space.

Not even the slightest fluctuation of laws or aura of blood and qi leaked out.

"This is... a breakthrough?"

Venerable Shepherd swallowed hard, not daring to ask any further questions.

"Let's go."

Su Yu remained calm as he glanced at the churning chaotic air currents ahead.

"Yes."

Venerable Shepherd Star quickly led the way.

The two passed through the surrounding chaotic air currents.

Suddenly, the view opened up.

A colossal bronze gate, beyond description, stretches across the starry sky.

The surface of the giant gate is engraved with countless intricate and ancient Taoist patterns.

It exudes an unparalleled majesty that suppresses everything.

The profound foundation of the Hunyuan Dao Palace can be glimpsed even from a single door.

In front of the massive bronze gate.

A fully armed army of monks is stationed there.

They were all at the peak of the Realm Lord level!

Leading them were three Venerables at the late stage of the Star String Realm!

This lineup, which would be enough to sweep through a remote star system outside, is only used here as a gatekeeper.

"stop."

Seeing Su Yu and Venerable Mu Xing approach.

A venerable figure dressed in a silver Taoist robe with a stern face stepped forward.

They blocked their way.

Show your pass.

Venerable Shepherd immediately stepped forward and handed over two jade tablets that emitted starlight.

"Xinghai Chamber of Commerce, Mu Xing."

"This is my guest advisor, Su Yu."

"We applied for the qualification to clean up the scourge."

The silver-robed venerable one accepted the jade tablet and scanned it with his divine sense.

After confirming that everything is correct.

He nodded, but did not let them pass immediately.

Instead, he turned around and pointed to a magic altar next to him that was emitting a blinding white light.

You should know the rules.

The silver-robed venerable one spoke in a cold voice.

"Things from places of calamity are extremely dangerous."

"You can go in, but you must undergo the 'Purification Array' scan and sign a Heavenly Dao liability waiver."

He looked at Mu Xing and Su Yu, a hint of warning in his eyes.

"In the past, there were many people with wicked intentions."

"After they went in, they didn't help clean up the mess."

Instead, they secretly collected the evil water in containers and took it out to wreak havoc on the area.

"There were even some who, taking advantage of the chaotic environment inside, deliberately stirred up trouble to harm their comrades, committing murder and robbery."

The silver-robed venerable one snorted coldly.

"The Hunyuan Dao Palace will not interfere with your personal grudges inside."

"but."

"Not a single drop of evil shall be allowed to leave this bronze gate!"

"Upon leaving, you must undergo the highest level of full-body scan."

"Anyone who harbors trouble shall be killed on the spot, and their backing shall be wiped out as well."

The rules are very strict.

It's also very domineering.

But no one dared to refute it.

Because this is the territory of the Hunyuan Dao Palace.

"Understood, understood."

Venerable Shepherd nodded repeatedly, cooperating fully.

He was the first to walk onto the white altar.

hum.

A blinding beam of light descended, scanning Venerable Shepherd from head to toe.
