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

The jade slip traced an arrogant arc in mid-air.

It landed at Su Yu's feet.

The old man in purple robes stood with his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised, and his eyes revealed a condescending condescension.

In his view, it was already an immense blessing to make a second-rate merchant guild a vassal of the ancient gods.

The other party should kneel down in gratitude to receive the imperial decree.

however.

The jade slip has not yet been placed on the ground.

hum.

A surge of exceptionally violent purple-gold blood energy erupted behind Su Yu without warning!

Ao Jue.

This is a cute and even somewhat timid little sister from the ancient dragon clan.

now.

Those deep eyes instantly transformed into cold and majestic purple-gold vertical pupils.

On either side of his forehead, exquisite purple-gold dragon horns pierced through his skin.

Her long, slender legs were slightly bent, and the black stockings under her skirt were stretched to the limit, outlining a breathtaking burst of power.

Murderous intent.

A killing intent so pure it's unadulterated.

Ao Jue himself was unaware of it.

At the moment she signed the Meteorite Slave Contract, her heart was filled with humiliation and resentment.

But as we spent more time together...

Su Yu's composure, strength, and the protection and opportunities that were inadvertently bestowed upon him.

It had already taken root in her heart.

She truly accepted this man.

They regard it as an inviolable taboo.

Ancient gods? The Thunder Punishment lineage?

so what!

She dared to humiliate her master in such a disgraceful manner.

They deserve to die!

boom!

The bluestone floor tiles beneath Ao Jue's feet instantly turned to dust. She was like a furious mother dragon, about to leap over Su Yu and tear the purple-robed old man to shreds.

but.

Just as she was about to exert her strength.

A long, strong hand.

It landed steadily on her shoulder.

It did not involve any fundamental laws, but was purely physical mass.

Ao Jue's momentum, which was enough to shatter stars, was effortlessly suppressed by this hand.

Unable to move.

"Owner?"

Ao Jue was taken aback. The ferocity in his purple-gold vertical pupils subsided slightly, replaced by a hint of confusion and grievance.

Ao Ying, standing to the side, also had a cold look in her eyes.

But she was more restrained than her sister.

She knew that the other party was an ancient god, a colossal being with a supreme god in charge.

If the enemy's envoy is killed here, the Global Business Alliance will surely face annihilation.

"Step back."

Su Yu's voice was calm, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

He withdrew his hand.

His gaze passed over the jade slip that was about to fall in mid-air and looked at the purple-robed old man.

Su Yu understood Ao Jue's anger.

But he was more aware of the current situation.

The competition takes place in the ring.

But what truly determines the distribution of Chaos Origin Crystals is the power struggle among various forces at the table.

The apparent strength of the Global Business Alliance is far too weak.

They're so weak they don't even qualify to sit at the table.

They're so weak that even an elder from any of the ancient gods dares to come and steal the fruits of their labor.

compromise?

A concession?

impossible.

Since the other party feels that the business alliance is not qualified to be at the table.

Then so.

Flip the table.

Perfect timing! By using the ancient gods as a stepping stone, we can let the entire Central Divine Mountain see the true strength of the Universal Commerce Alliance.

Su Yu did not take the jade slip.

Let it fall with a "thud" onto the bluestone slab at my feet.

Upon seeing this, the old man in purple robes' face instantly darkened.

"presumptuous!"

The old man shouted sternly, and the overwhelming pressure of the half-step reverse authority spread out.

"How dare a mere guest elder of the merchant guild disregard the young master's decree!"

"Do you really think that just because you defeated Gu Jianyi in the arena, you can be arrogant in front of my Ancient God Clan?"

"I'll tell you—"

The old man didn't finish his sentence.

because.

Su Yu raised his right hand.

Five fingers, slightly spread apart.

No nonsense.

No warning was given.

Reversing the power realm, the great path of space.

Instant coverage!

"Dimensional restructuring".

Su Yu uttered four words softly.

Om-! ! !

The space in the main hall plaza froze completely in that instant.

The old man in purple robes froze in place, his face contorted with anger and arrogance.

He was horrified to discover this.

The raging thunderous path within his own body was forcibly stripped of its right to flow by a great force that transcends the underlying logic of the universe.

I can't move.

Not even a finger or a thought can be moved.

Followed by.

Su Yu gently clenched his right hand.

laugh.

A very faint sound, like silk being torn.

The sound resonated within the old man's body.

Spatial misalignment.

It's not a macroscopic division.

Rather, it is an absolute disorder of dimensions at the microscopic level.

The purple-robed old man's physical body was in a fraction of a second.

The disordered spatial laws evenly sliced ​​it into hundreds of millions of thin slices invisible to the naked eye.

boom!

The spot where the old man had originally stood.

There was no one in sight.

All that remained was a burst of crimson blood mist.

Su Yu did not kill him.

He deliberately avoided the immortal substance within the old man's body.

As long as immortal matter exists, immortality will not die.

but.

Not dying doesn't mean not feeling pain.

The kind of pain that is like being slowly tortured on a microscopic level, where every pain nerve is severed and forcibly displaced.

It was magnified countless times, directly affecting the depths of the old man's soul.

"ah--!!!"

The most agonizing screams, so piercing they were almost inhuman, echoed through the square.

The blood mist writhed wildly.

The immortal substance within the old man's body emitted a dazzling light, desperately drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to forcibly reassemble the shattered flesh and blood.

A few seconds later.

The purple-robed old man's physical body reformed.

He collapsed to the ground.

His face was ashen, and his entire body was soaked in cold sweat.

He was panting heavily.

fear.

Extreme fear.

He stared intently at Su Yu, who was standing on the steps, as if he were looking at a demon crawling out of an abyss.

madman!

This person is a complete madman!

How dare he?

How dare he use such a ruthless attack on the envoy of the ancient gods?!

"you……"

The old man's voice trembled, and his teeth chattered.

"How dare you... how dare you lay a hand on me?!"

"They're simply asking for trouble!"

While spouting threats with a fierce but ultimately weak tone, the old man frantically pulled a jade talisman radiating spatial fluctuations from his robes.

Void-Breaking Talisman.

"You just wait!!!"

"The wrath of the ancient gods will surely reduce your Universal Commerce Alliance to rubble!"

Click.

The jade talisman was crushed.

A crack instantly appeared in the space behind the old man.

He scrambled into the crevice and fled without looking back.

They were terrified that if they were even a second late, they would be sliced ​​into a bloody mist.

The main hall square was once again deathly silent.

Su Yu stood on the steps.

His hands hung naturally at his sides, his expression calm and serene.

He watched quietly as the spatial rift closed, neither obstructing it nor giving chase.

"Owner!"

Ao Jue grew anxious and took a step forward, his purple-gold blood energy surging once more.

"We can't let him leave!"

"He'll definitely tell on me when he gets back!"

Ao Ying also rushed forward and stood beside Su Yu, her voice revealing undisguised panic.

"Master, those are ancient gods!"

"The Thunder Punishment lineage is a top-tier sect truly overseen by a supreme god!"

"If he goes back to report, the ancient gods will come out in full force."

"With our current resources, our business alliance simply cannot withstand this!"

The two women were genuinely panicked.

They were confident in Su Yu's abilities.

but.

That is the supreme god.

It is the ceiling of the Origin God Realm.

In their minds, angering a supreme god was tantamount to courting death.

"How about... we evacuate from the Central Sacred Mountain right now?"

Ao Ying bit her lower lip and offered the most rational advice.

"Or, should we seek refuge with other top-tier powers, such as the Hunyuan Dao Palace?"

Su Yu listened to the two women's anxious attempts to dissuade him.

He shook his head slightly.

"Let him go."

Su Yu's tone was calm and expressionless.

"If he doesn't leave, who will lead the way?"

lead the way?

Ao Ying and Ao Jue were taken aback.

My brain didn't quite process it for a moment.

What directions should I take? Where are we going?

Just as the two women were wondering...

Su Yu's mind raced.

Deep within the dantian.

That black heart, standing alongside the nine immortal substances, radiating a profound and extreme aura.

It twitched slightly.

Om-! ! !

A supreme pressure that transcends all opposition, exuding boundless rationality and an aura of destruction.

Without any warning.

It descended with a roar in the main square!

The surrounding dimensional rules were forcibly distorted and rewritten the moment this oppressive force appeared.

The sunlight lost its warmth.

The breeze stopped flowing.

A tall, slender figure in a black robe slowly materialized beside Su Yu.

deep.

He has the exact same face as Su Yu.

But there was no human emotion in those eyes.

Only pure reason, and the tangible abyss of destruction hidden deep within his eyes.
