Chapter 980: Storm In Ninestar (3)

After spending some time walking on the streets and looking around, Su Yu finally found the other stores mentioned by the old man earlier. He also took the chance to listen to the rumors on the streets.

The event in Heavendoom City had caused a sensation. Some rather reliable sources were claiming that all the Sunmoons there had died. Ultimately, only a few young geniuses were left to walk out of the city. The Invincibles had not entered the city. No battle had broken out.

The names of the survivors were not kept secret. After all, that was something everyone would know just by looking at the index. Sure, not everyone had an index copy. But it wasn't so rare that people would barely have one. And such index copy holders could be found in the Empyrean Cloud City as well.

They only needed to look at the surviving names on the index. People like Mo Duona and Dao Cheng were still alive.

Su Yu wasn't surprised. It was only natural for geniuses to be hard to kill. Furthermore, they were also backed by Invincibles. Jiu Xuan was merely too unlucky or she would have survived as well.

An Mintian could have survived as well. He was only steps away from leaving the city, but he was simply unlucky enough to encounter Su Yu there.

"They survived..."

Su Yu laughed. It didn't matter. He could always kill them in the future. He no longer feared these geniuses. Apart from Mo Duona, who still felt stronger than him, he only needed to worry about Dao Cheng who was already a third-stage Mountainsea. That was probably an advancement gained through heavenly rewards. Su Yu wasn't too worried about that.

Such a rapid advancement was most likely achieved through the growth of willpower and fusion of apertures. He was certain that Dao Cheng already had at least one fourth-tier character prior to the advancement.

With such a rapid growth in willpower, it had probably grown without any tempering. Thus, it was unstable. Dao Cheng was able to kill fifth-stage Mountainseas prior to his advancement, but this advancement would probably push him only a little bit forward to kill sixth-stage Mountainseas. He had wasted his potential.

It was very unlikely that he would be able to kill seventh-stage Mountainseas. If Su Yu stopped suppressing himself, he could have reached the fifth or sixth-stage Cloudbreach Realm easily. But there was no need for that.

At that point, he would probably stop receiving rewards from killing seventh or eighth-stage Cloudbreaches. His current level was sufficient. He could continue receiving rewards for killing opponents at those levels.

The Allheaven Battlefield was not a place where things would be better the higher one's cultivation was. Most geniuses would only break through when they could no longer suppress their advancement. The more their advancement was suppressed and tempered, the higher above their level they could punch, and the more they would get from the heavenly rewards.

"Dao Cheng is not dead. He even killed a seventh-stage Sunmoon...interesting. Did he kill Ming He? Long Zhan and Long Wuyou also killed a Sunmoon...at the second stage. But their ranks did not change. Looks like they contributed very little to the kill."

Su Yu took in all the information silently. He also heard some rumors related to the Sea of Stars.

The Sea of Stars was not too far away. One would reach it after traveling around two thousand kilometers away from the city. Meanwhile, the human headquarters was about ten thousand kilometers away. It sounded far, but it was really not far. The Plain of Desires was the culprit for that. Most people were forced to take a detour around it.

"Two thousand kilometers. It's not too far."

Through Su Yu's calculation, he deduced that he would take about a day or two to reach if he proceeded at a normal pace. The Sea of Stars was massive. That was a place with numerous minor realm entrances.

The entrance to the Dragon Realm was also there. Thus, dragons were quite common there. That was one of the overlords of the Sea of Stars. Thus, he needed to be careful there. The greater dragon race was split into many sub-races, and they also had a lot of vassals under them.

There were also numerous islands in the Sea of Stars. Some were ownerless and some were not. There were also ancient cities there.

Dao Cheng had been seated cross-legged there for a long while. Finally, he stood up and started moving toward the Sea of Stars.

Not far away, Tianduo, who was also busy dispelling the death qi in his body, stood up and moved in the same direction as well. Behind them, Mo Duona was busy reading something. When he noticed Tianduo, he asked, "Are you going to the Sea of Stars?"

"Yes." Tianduo replied without even looking back, "That is the most likely place for Su Yu to go. He will either be in one of the ancient cities there or the Ninestar Island. Or he will stay on an island near the Luminous Domain Mansion. I'll go take a look."

"You'll die if you encounter him." Mo Duona said, "Are you really looking for him?"

"No. I'm only going there to temper myself." Tianduo said, "If he's there, chaos will erupt before long. He is much more murderous than anyone else. That will be the best place for me to temper and strengthen myself. Mo Duona, I won't remain behind you forever."

Mo Duona seemed unconcerned. He resumed reading. After a while, he muttered, "Ninestar Island...nine realm entrances. It is quite likely that he will be there. No Invincibles will visit that place to avoid provoking the nine realms. That's a good place."

He nodded, agreeing with Tianduo's judgment. There was a very high possibility that Su Yu would go there.

Mo Duona laughed, "This time, not many people came. Only some geezers came. How boring. It would only be interesting if people like Zhan Wushuang, Xuan Wuji, and Ming Yue were here as well."

The chaos Su Yu caused had only killed some geezers. That was boring. All the Heaven Index geniuses were still alive and well. How boring.

With a smile, Mo Duona took out a voice transmission talisman. "I wonder if they'll even receive this message. Whatever."

He sent a message out. Then, he took out his index copy and sent another message, "Notify everyone on Heaven Index that I'm going to the Ninestar Island. Su Yu might be there. Tell them to join the fun."

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion replied, "Is this information accurate?"

"It's a guess. You guys can verify it yourself." Mo Duona added, "Oh, I almost forgot this. Notify Soulcurse and Qin Fang of the Earth Index as well. Things will only get interesting with more people. After all, the celestial chasm race Soulcurse came from is the nemesis of Ye Batian's line. It would be boring without Soulcurse there."

"Alright."

That was Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's reply. Shortly after, one genius after another received the message.

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu was completely unaware that some people were already waiting where he planned to go. All geniuses would think similarly. Any place with a sufficient level of chaos, a great number of geniuses, and an acceptable path of retreat would be a good place for them.

Regardless of Su Yu's plan, he would still end up there the moment chaos started erupting there. That wasn't even an option. All geniuses would be there. If one was a genius, one would not be able to resist going.

Right after rumors of his next destination were spread, numerous experts started heading toward Ninestar Island.

Su Yu still had no idea this was happening. He was still in the planning stage, but the playground had been prepared for him. Even the Heaven Index geniuses were starting to head over.

Others might fear Su Yu, but that was not the case for them. For these geniuses, killing a fellow Heaven Index genius was a great accomplishment they longed to achieve.
