Chapter 413 410- The Truth (5)

"A Spatial Ability?"

Shi Lei Hu was shocked. The only way to escape his prison in that chaotic space was to forcefully break it or have the same amount or a deeper understanding of space than him.

From the looks of it, Yang Su didn't break the prison but used a Spatial Ability to escape.

Seeing Yang Su's appearance, Jun and the others thought that Shi Lei Hu's method had failed to stop him.

"How troublesome."

Shi Lei Hu said as flew into the air.

"Senior!"

Jun called out, but Shi Lei Hu immediately said.

"Don't worry, the power affecting your friend has weakened significantly. If a piece of him is truly still conscious inside of his body then there's a chance to save him."

Shi Lei Hu said that, but he didn't know what to do beyond this stage to help this child. His nephew's case and this one were completely different.

Even after flying up to face Yang Su Shi Lei Hu still couldn't think of a solution.

An enraged expression was on Yang Su's face as he lifted his foot and stomped down.

"You dare trap me? An ant should know his place."

Yang Su spoke for the first time, but his voice was completely different. It sounded distorted and coarse.

However, Shi Lei Hu couldn't pay attention to that. A hundred-meter foot made of blood-red flames coalesce above him and came crashing down.

Seeing this attack, Shi Lei Hu gritted his teeth.

'Just who is this brat? This attack is close to using the Heavenly Laws, creating nothing from something. I spent hundreds of years comprehending Heavenly Laws as a Late Stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivator to gain this power, but here in front of me, a Foundation Realm brat is a step away from using that ability. Given a few more years wouldn't this ability be as easy as breathing for him to use? This doesn't make sense, this is going beyond every cultivation principle there is.'

"Damn it."

Shi Lei Hu could only curse.

'I'll have to battle him, I'll try to hold back but I might be put in a dangerous situation if I held back too much.'

Shi Lei Hu decided and he raised his hand to attack, but the voice of an old man suddenly echoed behind him.

"Shi Lei Hu, stand down."

Hearing this voice Shi Lei Hu was surprised.

"Commander-in-chief?"

Shi Lei Hu said as he turned to see a portal opening up behind him. Inside that portal was old man South Border and behind him was the scene of the second wall along with the Borderners battling against the Sea Beasts.

After stepping through the portal, old man South Border glanced up at the footprint made of flames stomping down.

With just a gaze, the foot suddenly came to a stop as if it had met an indestructible wall.

'This is even stronger than my Law Manipulation.'

Shi Lei Hu thought when he saw this.

Old man South Border then waved his hand at the foot and it immediately dissipated.

Yang Su seeing this looked at old man South Border with narrowed eyes. He then lifted his foot and took a step forward, this resulted in another foot made of blood-red flames appearing in the sky above. This time larger than the previous one.

However, Yang Su didn't stop and he took six more steps.

One after another his footsteps appeared in the void and slammed down towards Shi Lei Hu and old man South Border. Each of Yang Su's succeeding steps resulted in a large footprint than the previous one by fifty meters.

​ His sixth step caused a four-hundred-meter footprint to blot out the sky as it came hurtling down.

Old man South Border this time was forced to take this seriously as the lifted his palm and push forward.

He easily dealt with the six footprints as the force from his palm instantly destroyed them.

However, Shi Lei Hu felt that something was wrong, those seven steps felt strange and profound. One step seemed to accumulate the power of heaven and earth that multiplied as more steps were taken; building up momentum to something greater.

Shi Lei Hu's suspicions were right, as Yang Su's seven steps caused the void to tremble from the built-up energy, he took his eighth step, and this time he stomp down more forcefully.

That built-up energy from his seven-foot-prints was like a tsunami as it came crashing down from the sky like the might of the heavens themselves.

BANG!

Shi Lei Hu seeing this attack open his eyes wide with incredulity.

The eighth footprint was almost double the size of the seventh, being over seven hundred meters. But what shocked Shi Lei Hu the most was that the heavenly laws in the surroundings were obliterated.

Rather than manipulating the Heavenly Laws, Yang Su's attack was directly opposing and decimating it.

"This-This isn't a normal attack. This is a Daoist Magic spell, but what kind of Daoist Magic is this? I have never heard of or seen this type of spell before. Destroying heavenly laws rather than using them? This is absurd!"

*Snort*

"It's called Eighth Steps of Heavenly Suppression, and of course an ant like you wouldn't know of this spell…*Tsk* If my successor had inherited my full power I not only could have killed you people and carried him away but wiped out this planet with a single step to erase his past so he'll be forced onto the path I've created for him. But this would have to do as my time is up, my successor would inherit my power and no one can stop it."

After saying that, the ancient aura around Yang Su slowly began to fade away.

The eighth footprint at this moment slammed down towards Shi Lei Hu and old man South Border.

With his palm still facing upwards, old man South Border's body released a golden light before it become transparent.

BANG!

His small palm and the large footprint slammed into each other. But despite its size, old man South Border's palm was the one that came out on top.

The void shattered and the world quaked due to the clash.

The fiery blood-red footprint combusted into flames that scattered in the surroundings.

Yang Su looked at this and mumbled.

"What a pity."

The ancient entity felt his presence fading rapidly from Yang Su's body and though he would truly die once it did, he held no fear. He had helped his successor start on his path and that was enough.

However, something still bugged him.

The entity glanced towards the starry night sky.

"You've been watching this whole time, I suppose you can't make a move against me since I would long be dead. The same with my successor."

The entity in Yang Su clearly felt a pair of eyes open and land on him from the void above, but he knew it was always watching. He had felt them ever since they appeared several years ago.

The entity snorted.

"I don't care what a member of that incompetent Counsel is doing here, but touch my successor and my people will destroy your so-called God Counsel."

I murderous aura wafted from Yang Su's body that was directed right at that hidden entity in the void above.

Sensing this murderous aura, the pair of eyes trembled, evident he was slightly afraid of this person.

The entity inside Yang Su snorted upon seeing this before he spat.

"A glutenous pig is here wanting to swallow a swan's meat in secret, but yet you call us savages."

The pair of eyes trembled even more upon hearing that.

'S-Senior, I assure you I have no intentions of harming your successor.'

A voice that only the entity in Yang Su could hear echoed out.

*Snort*

"That's a given."

After saying that, the entity felt his presence in Yang Su almost about to fade away.

He sighed.

"This is an incomplete rite of succession, how troublesome. It's because I had to go through such roundabout means."

The entity after saying that then looked in the direction of the ship before continuing.

"At least some dregs are left behind, they should prove useful to my successor in the future."

The entity then fully disappeared from Yang Su.

Before Yang Su could fall from the sky, old man South Border waved his hand causing a gentle light to envelop him and pull him over.

As to where on the ship that entity's gaze was directed towards, it was on non-other than the people from the Demonic Cult.

Unbeknownst to everyone, all of them had begun to panic internally when Yang Su transformed. They had feverishly resisted the urge to kowtow on the ground in reverence to Yang Su. Such deep and almost overwhelming reverence was coming from their Demonic Qi.

Such a thing has never happened to them before so they were a bit frightened. Even the Nascent Realm elder who came to escort them had a pale face.

But rather than say anything about this strange feeling or discuss it amongst themselves, all of them decided to keep quiet and chalked it up to one time strange occurrence.

In the sky, Yang Su's unconscious body slowly came to a stop in front of old man South Border. Rising his index finger, old man South Border placed it onto Yang Su's forehead to examine his body.

However…

"A thing that's merely a disembodied soul, be warned, do not interfere with my successor. His destiny is something beyond your scope of imagination."

As that voice echoed in old man South Border's head, a black flame sprang from between Yang Su's brows to engulf his index finger.

Old man South Border hurriedly retract his index finger resulting in Yang Su's body falling.
