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

but.

Su Yu stood still.

No refund.

He looked into Qin Lengyue's icy eyes.

There was silence for a moment.

Then.

He spoke calmly.

"I think I'll give it a shot."

The sound wasn't loud.

Yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Dead silence.

The officers around him were stunned.

The colleague who tried to dissuade him looked at Su Yu as if he were crazy.

Should we take a gamble?

Qin Lengyue finished listening.

For the first time ever, an extremely cold smile appeared on that face, which was as black as ice.

"A fight?"

She took a step forward.

The pressure from the Void Realm intensified once again.

"What are we going to fight with?"

"With your cultivation level at the mid-stage of the True Formation realm?"

"Or should I take your insignificant life?"

Qin Lengyue's voice carried a sense of superior scrutiny.

"In the face of absolute power, your life isn't even worthy of being a mere grain of salt for those monsters."

"Go back."

This is the final ultimatum.

but.

Su Yu remained motionless.

He met Qin Lengyue's gaze.

There was not a trace of hesitation in those deep eyes.

"Perhaps?"

Su Yu calmly countered with a question.

"Perhaps I can get out of here alive."

"Perhaps I can get what I want."

calm.

A calm that was taken for granted.

It was as if he wasn't talking about robbing things from the monsters in the Sea-Opening Realm, but rather about buying a steamed bun from a street-side bun shop.

Qin Lengyue looked at Su Yu.

I watched for a full three breaths.

She saw no bluff in the eyes of this young man in the middle stage of the True Formation realm.

There is only one kind of unfathomable composure.

"perhaps?"

Qin Lengyue suppressed her smile.

The indifference on his face returned to a deathly stillness.

"it is good."

She suddenly turned around.

With a casual wave of his hand.

The barrier of the Returning Void Realm laws that had been blocking Su Yu's way was removed.

"Let him in!"

Qin Lengyue's voice echoed by the pool.

Undeniable.

The surrounding inspectors immediately made way for them.

Qin Lengyue didn't turn around, but said coldly.

"I'd like to see."

"What exactly is this 'maybe' you're talking about?!"

"Is it a miracle, or a corpse that has been gnawed until not even bone fragments remain?"

His colleagues around him were dumbfounded.

This?

That's too much of a surprise!

The commander of the scout battalion opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him again.

But looking at Qin Lengyue's cold back, he ultimately swallowed his words.

He looked at Su Yu.

He sighed.

"Commander Su, you..."

Su Yu shook his head slightly.

There was no explanation.

He straightened the simple hem of his clothes.

Take the first step.

Gently, we passed through the cleared passage.

Under the gazes of everyone who looked at him as if he were already dead.

step.

They stepped into the bottomless black pool.

hum.

A slight ripple appeared on the water's surface.

Su Yu's figure vanished instantly into the dimensional passage.

Beside the pool.

Silence returned.

The officers looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This kid is really going to his death."

"Too naive. Mid-stage True Formation Realm? Does he really think he's the chosen one?"

Qin Lengyue stood by the pool.

Looking at the spot where Su Yu disappeared.

A faint, eerie light flickered in his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes.

"Hmph, let him in!"

Qin Lengyue's voice carried a hint of cold resolve.

"I want to see how he dies!"

"You guys keep watch over the entrance!"

"I want to see him pay the price for his stupidity."

The words fell.

Qin Lengyue flashed away.

It also transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the black pool.

She went in too.

Several officers were left standing bewildered in the wind.

General, are we going to... collect the corpses?

……

Cangming Water Palace.

internal.

The world spun around.

When the sense of dimensional distortion disappears.

Su Yu landed smoothly on a hard bluestone ground.

There was no panic.

He did not draw his weapon.

He simply raised his head slowly and looked around.

This is an extremely vast underground palace.

The dome is extremely high and inlaid with luminous pearls that emit a faint blue light.

The air was filled with a rich aquatic energy, and...

The pungent smell of blood.

"roar--"

A deep roar came from the shadows deep within the palace.

Accompanied by a roar.

A colossal beast, as large as a small mountain, slowly emerged from the darkness.

Its body was covered in black scales, radiating a violent primal energy.

Sha Shui Xuan Gui (煞水玄龟).

The pinnacle of the True Realm.

Its scarlet eyes were fixed on Su Yu, the "weak" prey who had suddenly intruded.

Tick.

Foul-smelling saliva dripped from its massive, fang-filled mouth, corroding the bluestone floor.

Su Yu looked at this monster, which was powerful enough to make most cultivators in the True Formation Realm feel powerless.

His expression was calm and serene.

He did not use the "Formless Light Escape" technique to escape.

No Taoist magic was used.

He simply raised his right hand slowly.

Gently clench your five fingers together.

in vivo.

The purple-gold Eye of Return to Nothingness turned slightly.

"Perfect."

"Try it on me, you shrew."

next interest.

Su Yu's figure vanished from the spot without warning.

There is no law governing the fluctuations.

There was no spatial tear.

Only pure physical speed that surpasses the limits of vision.

boom!

A muffled explosion resounded within the palace.

The massive body of the Fiendish Water Tortoise suddenly froze.

Its head still retains its roaring posture.

but.

Right in the center of its forehead.

A bloody hole, only the size of a fist, appeared.

The edges of the blood hole were extremely smooth.

There was no blood splattering.

Because of the microscopic collapse caused by Su Yu's punch, the Xuan Turtle's brain and true spirit were instantly crushed into nothingness.

Su Yu stood behind the Xuan Turtle.

He wore a plain white robe, spotless.

He slowly withdrew his right hand.

"Too weak."

Even a peak True Formation Realm cultivator is no match for his peak Returning to Void Realm body; it's not even worth a piece of paper.

He did not stop.

They took a step forward and walked deeper into the water palace.

Target: True Water of the Universe.

Shortly after Su Yu left.

The dimensional passage at the entrance to the Water Palace rippled once more.

Qin Lengyue's figure appeared silently.

She concealed her Guixu Realm aura, preparing to secretly follow that reckless Suzhen Realm brat and teach him a profound lesson before he died.

but.

When she could see the scene ahead clearly.

Qin Lengyue paused slightly.

A hint of surprise flashed across that cold, icy face.

She looked at the evil water tortoise lying on the ground.

Looking at the tiny blood hole that pierced through the center of the Xuan Turtle's brow.

His pupils narrowed slightly.

"Killed in one blow."

Qin Lengyue's voice was tinged with coldness.

"No laws remain."

"Pure physics permeates everything."

She raised her head and looked into the depths of the water palace.

That young man in plain robes, who was in the mid-stage of the True Formation realm, had long since disappeared.

A cold, mocking smile curled at the corners of Qin Lengyue's lips.

"To be able to instantly kill a peak True Formation cultivator with a cultivation level of mid-stage True Formation is truly amazing."

"However, the distance between the Sea Opening Realm and the Mortal Transformation Realm is separated by three insurmountable chasms: the Transcendent Realm, the Blood Tempering Realm, and the Bone Extreme Realm!"

To be able to defeat enemies even when one's cultivation level is slightly higher—that's truly a prodigy.

But talent ultimately needs time to be realized.

Faced with the suppression of the power of monsters in the Sea Opening Realm, how long can this talent allow him to hold out?

"Is this your source of confidence?"

A deep, dark light flashed in Qin Lengyue's eyes.

So be it.

Considering his amazing talent, if he were truly on the verge of death, I might be able to spare his life.

Even... by taking advantage of this dead end, we can completely subdue them.

She moved.

Transforming into a shadowy figure, it followed Su Yu in the direction he had left, neither too fast nor too slow.
