Capítulo 1823: Chapter 1824: The Intent Beyond the Wine

Su Chengyu had to admit that even though it was just an Immortal Core remaining from a God Beast, its sensitivity exceeded Su Chengyu’s expectations.

He thought he hadn’t shown any flaws, but the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core had already noticed the anomalies in his body.

This was entirely different from the previous tentative guesses. Without absolute assurance and calculations, Su Chengyu did not believe the God Beast Immortal Core would dare to take such a risk.

However, even though the other party’s keenness was unexpected for Su Chengyu, he did not believe the Immortal Core’s judgment was absolutely correct.

Firstly, after completing the deduction of the Road of Destiny, Su Chengyu was still unsure about the limits of his current capabilities.

Secondly, and most importantly, he did not believe the God Beast Immortal Core had a clear judgment of the Demon Emperor’s strength.

According to Su Chengyu’s observation of the Demon Emperor during this period, the Demon Emperor’s caution far exceeded Su Chengyu’s initial expectations.

He originally thought that the win-win method he displayed made the other party temporarily choose to remain behind the scenes, waiting for the God Beast Immortal Core to undergo the next change.

But the fact that the other party had no intention of probing made Su Chengyu overturn his initial guess.

This level of caution couldn’t be explained just by personality reasons; the other party seemed to be apprehensive about something, trying to hide himself in the shadows beyond Su Chengyu’s sight.

Even with Hu Xiao as an insider, Su Chengyu hardly had any information about the Demon Emperor.

In such circumstances, Su Chengyu was almost certain that even though the God Beast Immortal Core understood more than 80% of his state, it would definitely not have much information about the Demon Emperor.

Frankly, those words were just intimidation tactics against Su Chengyu and not any sure-fire way to escape this situation by the skin of one’s teeth.

However, there was one point where the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core’s judgment was indeed correct.

No matter how cautious the Demon Emperor was, once it sensed the distinct aura leaked by the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core, it indeed no longer remained hidden.

With the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core’s aura dispersing into the world, Su Chengyu clearly felt a powerful demon aura rapidly approaching the mine from afar.

“Dragon Slayer!”

The Dragon Slayer Sword received Su Chengyu’s command and flew out instantly from behind him.

With a clear target, it headed straight in the direction the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core was escaping.

In facing the escaping Vermilion Bird Immortal Core, Su Chengyu wasn’t sure how the Demon Emperor would react, but he absolutely couldn’t let this Immortal Core slip out of his control.

Although his relationship with Ling Xiao wasn’t deep, the Four Great Divine Beasts were a significant part of his grandfather Su Linyuan’s decades-long meticulous plan, and Su Chengyu wouldn’t stand idly by as it was destroyed by his own hands.

Since it was the Power of Faith he accumulated for the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core that gave it the ability to escape, he had to take full responsibility.

As for the Demon Emperor in front of him…

“Since you’ve finally shown yourself, let’s start with a gift for our meeting.”

Su Chengyu spoke calmly, grasping the Wasteland Battle Halberd that appeared beside him.

With his breath settling in the Sea of Consciousness, accompanied by the turning of Su Chengyu’s Divine Sense, countless powers of the Heavenly Dao within his body began to riot instantly.

At this moment, Su Chengyu’s situation was identical to those times when he mobilized the Power of the Heavenly Dao and went berserk, but with a difference.

This time, Su Chengyu had constructed a Circulation inside his body dedicated solely to the circulation of the Road of Destiny.

This Circulation was far from perfect and not even reaching the point of forming a small cycle by itself.

Yet as a Circulation authorized by Su Chengyu, the Road of Destiny within him could indeed forcibly complete its rotation within this circuit.

The cost, however, was that during the rotation process, Su Chengyu’s other powers of the Heavenly Dao would crazily attack the circulating Road of Destiny.

These frenzied attacks would affect the formation of the final Sword Momentum, but they would more significantly impact Su Chengyu’s own body burden.

In essence, Su Chengyu still hadn’t solved the fundamental problem within himself; he just managed to complete the circulation under high pressure and could forcibly terminate the formation of the Sword Momentum once it exceeded his body’s threshold.

It was just an attempt by Su Chengyu, also serving as a review for him to see if he had completed the Heavenly Dao deduction.

Through this attempt, Su Chengyu could discern whether he was on the correct path at this moment.

At least in the short term, it could have a positive effect on his situation.

With the Heaven and Earth Power continuing around Su Chengyu’s body, the Immortal Slaying Sword Force gradually gathered on the Wasteland Battle Halberd.

Though not struck out by the Sword itself, the permeating Sword Intent already enveloped Su Chengyu completely, piercing through between heaven and earth.

Su Chengyu slowly opened his eyes, his pupils entirely turned golden by this moment.

Under the continuation of the Heaven and Earth Power, Su Chengyu in mid-air seemed like a deity, with Divine Sense fixated firmly on the rapidly approaching aura.

“Trying to hide? If you can dodge my Sword, can you dodge the sky above your head?”

Boom!

The strike of the Heavenly Dao was a strike of laws. Its might was absolutely not limited only to the destructive power that could destroy heaven and earth.

Anyone attacked by the Power of the Heavenly Dao, as long as they walked within the laws of heaven and earth, found it impossible to avoid being locked on by the opponent.

In this aspect, demon emperors, earth immortals, even demon gods were no exception.

The other party cautiously tried to avoid Su Chengyu’s taunting frontal attack, unaware that doing so was the worst choice.

This sword was to slay immortals!

Together with the Sword Momentum was Su Chengyu’s uncontrollably flowing golden blood, oozing from his palm.

The blood, together with the Heaven and Earth Sword Momentum, locked onto the still frantically fleeing figure, a composed Su Chengyu pierced through the target’s body with a battle halberd.

“Master, save me!”

Under the Sword Momentum, a strange sound reverberated between heaven and earth.

The aura of the voice source was completely different from the initial perception.

If it were just this, Su Chengyu wouldn’t have been this surprised.

What truly made Su Chengyu suspicious was that the owner’s power level, showcased before, didn’t match the Demon Emperor Realm at all.

“Not good!”

By the time Su Chengyu realized something, it was already too late to change tactics. The sword momentum slicing across heaven and earth fell squarely on the figure, immediately engulfing it.

Under the oppressive force of the Road of Destiny, the disguise of the figure was wholly exposed to Su Chengyu.

It was nothing like a Demon Emperor; it was merely a Demon Monarch shrouded in the aura of a Demon Emperor’s disguise.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Slayer Sword chasing after the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core met with the hidden true body of the Demon Emperor.

With a single strike, a fierce repelling force directly shut the Dragon Slayer Sword outside, a power utterly impervious to the Dragon Slayer Sword, forcefully separating it from the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core.

“This great opportunity is now mine!”
