Chapter 1085: Great Qin King (1)
Su Yu was terrified. He didn't know what he could do about the sudden growth of his death qi.
Ultimately, he gritted his teeth and decided he needed to grow stronger. Yes, that might result in further growth of his death qi, but he believed that he would be fine as long as he grew faster than the death qi could grow.
On the eighth day, he completed his fifty-second forging. He had also improved in other aspects. For example, his willpower cultivation had dropped to the seventh-stage Cloudbreach Realm from the eighth stage. Yes. This was considered an improvement as his willpower had increased in purity and stability.
He had been tempering his willpower a lot with his hammer recently. Thinking about it, he noticed that he had reached Zhao Li's previous level or maybe even higher. Zhao Li had spent nearly a hundred years to reach that level while Su Yu had spent only a year.
He had also formed a new character from all the reading he had done recently, the seal character. This character came from a founding king as well, an Invincible from one of the eight leading families of the Knowledge Seeking Realm. This founding king was known as Heavenly Seal King.
He was famed for his sealing abilities. Through the willpower text of this Invincible, he had formed the new character. This new character was also a supportive character. It was said that this character could seal the heavens above and the earth below. It sounded incredibly impressive. However, it was only a second-tier character for now so through his tests, it was rather ordinary in strength.
But it would probably be a lot more helpful at higher tiers. This was Su Yu's twenty-sixth character. What a pity that he had crushed the beast character not long ago or he would have a total of twenty-seven characters by this point.
He had also confirmed the theory he heard from Teacher Jin back when he was in Great Ming. Human characters would increase in strength the higher the number. Forming a new human character would also increase the strength of his existing human characters.
Previously, he could stun a first or second-stage Mountainsea with a single hammer strike when he was an eighth-stage Cloudbreach. Now that he had dropped to the seventh stage, he could stun a third-stage Mountainsea with a single hammer strike.
His strength was increasing even when his cultivation was dropping. But strictly speaking, it wasn't that his cultivation had dropped. Rather, he had merely solidified it. This was a power he gained through compressing his willpower.
He was compressing his willpower to purify it, remain low profile, and increase the heavenly rewards he could receive through killing. There was no reason to refuse better rewards, right?
Even if he were to lose all his physical cultivation right now, he would still be a super genius with his willpower cultivation alone. After all, he was a seventh-stage Cloudbreach capable of hammering third-stage Mountainseas to death. He could punch an entire realm above him.
Previously, Qin Fang had entered the Heaven Index by killing a third-stage Mountainsea as a sixth-stage Cloudbreach. Meanwhile, with what Su Yu could do and his younger age, he would have no trouble entering the index even without relying on his physical cultivation.
Of course, he no longer cared that much about the index. For him, characters were very good at support, but nothing could be more reliable than his physical strength. Just look at how much stronger he would grow with each body forging.
***
Not only had Su Yu grown stronger, he had even earned a lot of money.
Over the past few days, he had been selling heavenly source qi nonstop through the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. But at this point, he was stopping as he was worried that he would invite the jealousy of the late-stage Sunmoons. It would be annoying if they decided to rob him instead.
After all, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had left an impression on the people in the city that they had a massive supply of heavenly source qi.
Su Yu decided that it was time for him to hide away and wait for these people to start dying. He wouldn't give them any chance to rob him in desperation.
It was already the eighth day.
In truth, the people inside the city were finally starting to panic. The minor race experts, in particular, were in terrible condition. Not only had they spent all their wealth buying heavenly source qi from Su Yu, they had also exhausted the heavenly source qi they bought while trapped in the city. They now had nothing.
Nobody wanted to die. It wasn't easy for them to reach such a high cultivation level. Their strength did not seem to matter here as Su Yu could make them suffer without even showing his face.
The immortal expert spoke softly, "Let's wait for one more week. That will mark the end of our second week here. If Su Yu is still alive then, we can start fleeing. As long as Invincibles stay outside, things will be fine. We only need them to blast the gate open for us and we'll flee before the city can react."
"We only need one Invincible for this."
"That will probably spawn a death sovereign. Zimo, we'll need you to slow that death sovereign down for a bit so that we can all escape..."
"..."
The blood fire devil merely stared at the person who had spoken silently. Did this guy think that all blood fire devils were brainless? As a ninth-stage Sunmoon who had yet to fuse with any tri-life body, he was supposed to block an Invincible?
Yes, blood fire devils loved fighting. But they loved even fights or fights they could win even more. They did not love being beaten to death. This guy must be joking.
After a long while, Zimo said, "During the escape, the immortal should be the last to leave."
The immortal expert blanked out. Zimo continued, "What the fuck are you looking at? Yes. You heard right. You will be the last to leave. If you disagree, we will join hands and kill you."
"..."
Silence descended.
Nobody said anything.
The divines and devils were open enemies of the humans. The silkwyrms had a grudge against the humans as well. Meanwhile, the nethers and immortals did not really get along that well. As for the other two late-stage Sunmoons, one was a heavenly spirit ape while the other was a dragon. Neither of them had a friendship with the immortals.
In fact, the immortals were officially allied to the humans. That remained true even if the immortals had been very enthusiastic in acting against the humans as of late.
Zimo was a ninth-stage Sunmoon. He was the strongest expert present. The nether and divine Sunmoons were at the eighth stage while the immortal Sunmoon was only at the seventh stage. Naturally, his words held the least weight here.
The immortal's expression changed slightly. Soon, he laughed and said, "Lord Zimo, you must be jesting. I'm too weak to deal with a death sovereign..."
Zimo coldly said, "Cut the crap. The immortals have strong life force. You have a high resistance against death qi. Everyone knows this. If you leave last during the escape, all of us have a chance of surviving. If not, we might as well accept death."
The immortal hurriedly said, "Lord Zimo, we're here for Su Yu. We shouldn't bicker among ourselves."
"Immortal, do you take all of us for fools?" Zimo coldly said, "Cut the bullshit. How dare you try to set me up? Who do you think you are? Sure, you can choose to create trouble and refuse my demand. Feel free to try it. I dare you."
He looked at the others and said, "Everyone, remember this. When fleeing, all of us will probably die if nobody stays behind to slow down the death sovereign. If we're all going to die, I'll die last. Silkwyrm and heavenly spirit ape, your races are weaker than the divine, devil, and immortal races. If he refuses to leave last, you guys will have to take on the task instead. This isn't that complicated. Think carefully. Do you want to take the risk or do you want him to take the risk?"
Nobody said anything.
