Chapter 935 - Fragments of the Grand Dao
In the forbidden grounds of the City of the Wrongfully Dead, the White Bone Emperor, Divine Monarch Falling Star, and the others were top-notch existences, like local hegemons.0
Their strength was monstrous, and their vicious majesty was without limit. Even the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow dared not provoke them lightly.0
When they joined forces, slaying the demons of the seventh layer of purgatory naturally wasn’t difficult.0
After all, this was only the seventh of the Nine Great Purgatories of the Dark Capital. Although the demons here were strong, they were far from comparable to those of the eighth and ninth layers.0
The ninth layer in particular was seen as a forbidden ground for Emperors!0
Throughout its longhistory, supremely powerful Imperial Realm experts had occasionally explored it, but practically nonereturned alive.0
The battle currently raging on the seventh layer changed the moment the White Bone Emperor and the other terrifying entities appeared. The mass of demons was now at a disadvantage, and they were repeatedly pushed back.0
By now, more than half were dead or severely injured!0
Crunch!0
The White Bone Emperor displayed his might, twisting the head off a demon’s shoulders.0
Boom!0
Divine Monarch Falling Star activated the power of thousands of fiery starlight, incinerating an opponent.0
The other terrifying entities displayed their power throughout the battlefield, killing one demon after another.0
Even Old Yao White Eyebrows displayed his spatial powers. He was like an untraceable assassin, effortlessly gathering and taking the heads of his opponents.0
However, You Xue was the most domineering of the group.0
She fought like a goddess, swinging the Burning Silence Ruler. With each strike, space burned and collapsed. Any demon she set her sights on barely had time to struggle before it died where it stood.0
That forceful, tyrannical scene startled even her allies, the White Bone Emperor and the other terrifying lifeforms.0
And the Emperors watched from a distance. The grand battle made their blood race, and excitement coursed through them. All of them cheered.0
Nothing unexpected happened.0
Before long, they thoroughly defeated their opponents. Most were dead, and only a handful escaped with their lives and fled in panic.0
In stark contrast, there wasn’t even a single casualty on Su Yi’s side.0
They’d won a complete victory!0
Su Yi wasn’t at all surprised by this. He’d anticipated this result from the moment they arrived in the seventh layer of purgatory.0
It would have been stranger if it hadn’t ended like this.0
Ye Yu felt much the same. The moment Su Yi appeared, she knew how this battle would end. It wasn’t at all suspenseful.0
This was an instinctive awareness, as well as absolute confidence in the man whose sword had once dominated the heavens, the former sole sovereign of the Wilds.0
This awareness and conviction had long since become habitual.0
Even if the heavens fell and the earth crumbled, so long as he was there, he could repair the heavens and support the earth!0
Beneath the Emperors’ excited, joyous gazes, You Xue stepped through the sky and drifted back down to earth.0
She arrived beside Ye Yu, gently embraced her exquisitely carved shoulders, and said softly, “Little Leaf, are you still sad?”0
Ye Yu felt a bit awkward. Her beautiful eyes glanced at the man reclining in the wicker chair. Only then did she whisper, "I\'ll never be sad again.”0
You Xue laughed, but she looked a bit conflicted.0
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!0
White Bone Emperor, Divine Monarch Falling Star, and the others shot over too.0
All of them suppressed their viciousness and greeted Su Yi, solemnly and respectfully. “Your Excellency, our enemies have already been defeated.”0
Despite already knowing that these terrifying identities were following Su Yi’s orders, Lu Xing and the other Emperors’ hearts shook.0
Lu Xing and the others weren’t like those Spirit Dao cultivators exploring the first layer of purgatory. All of them had lived for countless years. Of course they knew how terrifying the White Bone Emperor and the others were; in the City of the Wrongfully Dead, it wouldn’t do to provoke them!0
Throughout history, everyone who explored the City of the Wrongfully Dead, no matter who they were, would avoid those terrifying entities’ territories!0
Yet now, these monstrous, terrifying entities were as meek as could be in front of a mere Spiritual Revolution Realm young man!0
“Your Excellency, these are the Grand Dao Fragments those demons left behind. Please accept them with a smile!” Old Yao White Eyebrows said with a toadyish grin as he scooted over to offer Su Yi the spoils.0
The spoils consisted of a few dozen jade-like fragments of various colors. Misty light flowed around them, and Dao Light hung in the air. They were dazzling to behold.0
Grand Dao Fragments!0
These were a rare material only obtainable in the Nine Great Purgatories of the Dark Capital.0
Although the Nine Great Purgatories were incomparably perilous, cultivators saw them as treasure grounds full of opportunities.0
Those who explored here didn’t just temper their cultivation bases; they could gather rare and ancient Grand Dao Fragments by hunting the demons that lived here.0
The further down they went, the rarer and higher quality the fragments they could obtain.0
The fragments Old Yao White Eyebrows offered Su Yi had been left behind by Imperial Realm demons. They were naturally extraordinarily high-quality.0
A few in particular emanated such flourishing fluctuations of the Grand Dao that the Emperors present were astonished.0
Yet now, all of these treasures were in front of Su Yi!0
Su Yi scanned the pile, then selected three pieces.0
One sparkled like deep green jadeite. It contained the pure, overflowing aura of the Grand Dao of Qingyi.1
One glittered like gold, emanating an eye-piercing, sharp luster. It was emblazoned with the source power of metal, and it was incomparably rare.0
The last piece was black as ink, and it emanated a bone-piercing chill. This was the source power of water, vast and overflowing as the ocean.0
He could use one of these three Grand Dao Fragments to temper his own power of the Grand Dao, one to temper his natal weapon, Abstruse Celestial, and one to strengthen his soul.0
Their value was inestimable. 0
Su Yi put the three pieces he’d chosen away, then looked at You Xue and Ye Yu. “You should take a few too.”0
Old Yao White Eyebrows hurriedly proffered the remaining fragments.0
Neither woman held back. Each chose several pieces.0
“Divide the rest amongst yourselves,” Su Yi said to Old Yao White Eyebrows.0
“Many thanks, Your Excellency!” Old Yao White Eyebrows rejoiced. He practically wept with gratitude.0
The other terrifying entities each expressed their gratitude. All of them looked delighted.0
In the past, the Yin-Yang Road acted as a natural barrier, preventing the terrifying inhabitants of the City of the Wrongfully Dead from entering the Nine Great Purgatories of the Dark Capital. There was no way they could hunt for Grand Dao Fragments.0
“Little Leaf, wait here for now. Old Yao White Eyebrows and I are going to check the remaining layers. When I get back, we’ll leave the Dark Capital together,” ordered Su Yi.0
“Mm.” Ye Yue nodded.0
Then, Su Yi suppressed the White Bone Emperor and the other terrifying entities within the Book of Diting once more, mounted the Radiant Void Beast, and disappeared into thin air.0
As soon as Su Yi was gone, Ye Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Your Excellency You Xue, has Brother Su already accepted your feelings?” 0
0
A conflicted look appeared on You Xue’s icy, aloof face. “He only agreed to bring me here to look for you.”0
Her voice revealed her melancholy and frustration.0
But a moment later, she said gently, “But I can tell that Fellow Daoist Su isn’t treating you as heartlessly as he did before. That’s a good thing.”0
Ye Yu’s starry eyes sparkled with undisguisable delight.0
However, when she noticed You Xue’s melancholy and despondency, she couldn’t help but feel bad for her.0
She’d experienced longing for someone, yet being unable to obtain them too. How could she fail to understand how You Xue felt?0
After a moment’s thought, Ye Yu said softly, “Your Excellency You Xue, to cultivators like us, time has never been a problem. Brother Su let you accompany him today; that’s already an excellent sign.”2
You Xue was stunned. “Perhaps.”0
In the eyes of generations of Ghost Serpents, she was like an aloof and contemptuous goddess. They could only look up to her.0
But at the end of the day, she was also a woman. How could she stop herself from envying Ye Yu’s place in Su Yi’s heart.0
Ye Yu gently held You Xue’s hand. She said nothing.0
0
……0
“That’s the Book of Diting!”0
“So, that boy is most likely an inheritor of the Night Watchman lineage. No wonder he could order those terrifying lifeforms about.”0
“I just remembered that before the Falling Feather Spirit Empress began exploring the City of the Wrongfully Dead, she stopped by a certain workshop in Snowy Skies City and met with the Night Watchman. That’s unquestionable proof that there’s an extraordinary connection between the two of them!”0
Off in the distance, the Emperors were transmitting amongst themselves.0
Earlier, all of them saw Su Yi use the Book of Diting to suppress those terrifying lifeforms. They naturally had a new understanding of him.0
“Is that all it is? But if that’s the case, why would someone of Miss Ye Yu’s status be so intimate with a young man like him?” said Lu Xing with a nigh imperceptible hint of bitterness.0
The others’ expressions were a bit strange.0
They’d spent years fighting alongside each other in the seventh layer of purgatory. They were naturally well aware that Lu Xing had feelings for Ye Yu.0
They were thus also aware of how great a shock that the young man’s appearance was to him.0
“Fellow Daoist Lu, I said it a long time ago: you shouldn’t harbor such unrealistic thoughts,” warned Wei Daoyuan. “Seems to me that you’d be better off not trying to approach Senior Ye Yu going forward. If you do, you might well bring disaster upon himself.”0
Just like Ye Yu, he’d long since realized who Su Yi was! He simply hadn’t revealed it to the others.0
“\'Bring disaster upon myself,\' huh…?” Lu Xing looked conflicted, and he sank into silence.0
“Brother Wei, do you perhaps recognize that young man’s origins?” someone couldn’t help but ask.0
The others all looked over.0
All of them knew that he had a deep friendship with Ye Yu.0
After a moment’s silence, he said, “You were right earlier… that young man does indeed have an extraordinary connection with the Night Watchmen lineage. As for the details? I don’t know either.”0
He most certainly didn’t dare reveal Su Yi’s identity without permission.0
Hearing this only made the young man in blue seem even more mysterious to the other Emperors.0
Meanwhile, in the fifth layer of purgatory.0
The demons here were already strong enough to threaten profound Illumination Emperors. Practically no one beneath the Imperial Realm dared enter this place.0
“Wait here for now. I’m going to temper myself for a bit!”0
Su Yi leaped from the back of the Radiant Void Beast and stretched.0
The depths of his gaze shone with eagerness. He’d finally found a place where he could rely on his own strength to fight and kill to his heart’s content!
