Chapter 689: Skysoar (2)

Chapter 689: Skysoar (2)

"What the hell is this?" Zhu Tiandao cursed, "Which bastard released that thing?"

That cloud was the fake phenomenon they had prepared earlier.

Someone answered, "We didn't release it. It was prepared and kept somewhere in advance, but the source qi in the area was too berserk. Even the hidden formation was broken apart, resulting in the release of that cloud.

That person spoke in a helpless tone. That wasn't deliberate. To avoid attracting any attention, they had only laid down a weak obscuring formation. But the formation had been easily torn apart by the raging source qi.

Among the crowd, someone exclaimed, "That's a phenomenon! An actual phenomenon! Holy shit, both heavenly blessing and punishment have appeared, even if the blessing ultimately ended up defeated by the punishment. Is Su Yu someone who is going to be a saint?"

"Heavens. What is that cloud? Why does it feel so amazing even from so far away?"

"Shit! That's heavenly source qi! Each heavenly source fruit can only produce ten strands of them. I ate one of those fruits when I was a kid!"

The last speaker was someone from a large family.

Heavenly source fruit was not a term unfamiliar to the people here. As long as one read enough, one would know about this item. In the past, this was also how Su Yu had learned about this fruit.

"Holy shit! So much heavenly source qi leaked out, but why is everything gone so quickly?"

"Idiot. That's why you should study more. The moment heavenly source qi comes in contact with source qi, it will turn into ordinary source qi as well. What a waste."

"..."

The crowd continued swelling. More and more people were arriving. Some were happily enjoying the show, some were shocked, and some were shouting in excitement. This was their very first time witnessing such a sight.

"I heard that phenomena will appear during the breakthroughs of geniuses. Back then when Great Xia's Xia Longwu broke through to the Mountainsea Realm, he created a phenomenon of source qi rain. But not even that was this crazy, right?"

"Su Yu...is he a future Invincible?"

"..."

More and more people were talking about the breakthrough.

Meanwhile, Su Yu had a solemn expression as he focused on forging his body. His willpower stayed defensive as his hammer fought the figures in the sky.

"No, this doesn't feel like a heavenly punishment either..."

Su Yu couldn't describe the sensation he was feeling, but it felt like the removal of a prohibition that had resulted in the appearance of natural laws. That was what his instinct was telling him.

The Five Elemental Arts had always been one. But it was too powerful. Hence, it was separated into five. Was it the ancestor of the five elemental race? But what authority did that ancestor have over a human?

The laws of the five elemental race should not be effective against the human race, right? It wouldn't be too surprising if this phenomenon had appeared in the Five Elemental Realm. But it was actually appearing in the Human Realm. This was abnormal.

"Don't tell me that this was originally a human cultivation method?"

Su Yu found that hard to believe. Was it possible that during the golden age of humanity, the human race had gifted this cultivation method to the five elemental race after splitting it into five?

He didn't have an answer. This phenomenon was not generated by the 180 apertures. Rather, it was produced by the coming together of the five arts. Because of that, a heavenly punishment descended from the sky. After all, nothing had happened when he opened the 180 apertures. Instead, the change had happened after the combination of the five arts.

Su Yu did not have the time to think too much. He soared into the sky. The crowd saw a golden figure shooting into the sky before rapidly defeating one of the miniature figures. Then, the golden figure dove into a golden cloud.

This was something he had produced with a large amount of heavenly source qi. He was not about to let the heavenly source qi go to waste.

He opened his mouth wide and sucked the entire cloud into his body. Countless people saw that. One of them said in envy, "Damn it. This guy is using heavenly source qi to forge his body. What a lucky guy."

Zhu Tiandao asked anxiously through voice transmission, "How much longer do you need?"

"Three hours." Su Yu replied, "I need to first reach the Skysoar Realm through my body before achieving willpower materialization to complete the second or even the third forge."

Willpower materialization was a chance for one to rapidly increase the strength of one's body. Su Yu wanted to use this as an opportunity to save time and complete more forgings in a row.

Zhu Tiandao was left speechless. A few more hours? Didn't the kid claim that he was only going to push his body to the Skysoar Realm? Why did that change?

Fuck!

Even more people would hear of what was happening if they waited a few more hours.

One hour later.

Administrator Hu appeared outside Tiandu. His voice rang out, "Prefect Zhu, the marquis is asking if you require any help from us."

"No thanks. Stay outside the city."

Administrator Hu said nothing and started waiting outside the city. He exchanged gazes with the expert from Great Song, but neither said anything to the other. Despite their silence, the shock in their eyes was apparent.

Su Yu? Was he sure he was breaking through into the Skysoar Realm? It should be the Mountainsea or even the Sunmoon Realm, right? Administrator Hu felt very regretful. What a pity. This used to be a genius of Great Xia. Just look at that crazy phenomenon. Was this truly a future Invincible?

In the past, the marquis and the others had said that Su Yu would have no trouble reaching the Sunmoon Realm. But from this breakthrough, he would probably have no problem reaching the Invincible Realm as well.

At this point, the crowd was starting to calm down. However, nobody was willing to leave. All of them were staring at the sky. The entire event became even more interesting in their eyes with the arrival of more and more experts.

Even though those experts were all stopped outside the city, those in the city were able to hear the conversations between those visits and Zhu Tiandao. A sense of pride rose in the hearts of the populace when they saw how obedient these foreign experts were before their prefect.

Meanwhile, the Sunmoons who had sneaked into the city didn't know what to say. With the arrival of several Sunmoons outside the city, even leaving was no longer an option. Trying to sneak out was too risky. They could only wait and try to leave carefully after the breakthrough was over. None of them knew if Su Yu had opened the source soul acupoint.

Zhu Tiandao was not worried that they would lose the hidden Sunmoons. With the Super Sensory Jade, none of them could hope to escape him.

For now, he could only hope that everything would proceed smoothly. The moment Su Yu was done with his breakthrough, they would be able to disperse the crowd and deal with the hidden Sunmoons separately. That way, they wouldn't end up alerting the other targets while they were dealing with one.

Su Yu was too busy to care about all of that. He continued fighting the elements thrown his way, tempering his willpower, nourishing his apertures, defeating the miniature figures, and strengthening his characters.

This phenomenon would have been able to instantly kill a regular Skysoar. But it wasn't strong enough to deal with Su Yu. For him, this heavenly punishment was basically the same as a blessing.

Two hours passed.

His physical body had grown much stronger than before. The heavenly source qi consumption was higher than his expectation. As of this moment, his entire body had turned gold apart from his head.

The first forging was on the cusp of completion. Completing the first forging would make him a proper Skysoar. Slowly, even his head started turning gold. His eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, ears...all of them turned gold.

His blood churned.

His bones transformed.

Su Yu had a tranquil expression. He had nothing to fear. If something could happen to him even with so many Sunmoons protecting him, the result would remain if he had chosen to break through somewhere else.

After all, he even had a ninth-stage Sunmoon like Zhu Tiandao watching over him currently. What was he supposed to do if not even these experts could protect him? And finally, only a final spot on his body remained at its previous color. Completion was nigh.

At that moment, he swallowed a large ball stuffed full of heavenly source qi.

Boom!
