Chapter 1000: I Have My Eyes On You (3)

Alarmed, Topsoil Spirit hurriedly said, "We are not enemies. We can always talk things out. Su Yu, there is no need for us to fight to the death. That's pointless. The five elemental race and the human race have never been enemies..."

Su Yu said, "Be my prisoner. Throw the copy index away. If you agree, I will consider leaving you alive."

What the fuck was that? No genius would volunteer themself as a prisoner. That would be the same as handing the entirety of their fate in the hands of others. That was something they wouldn't do unless they had absolutely no chance left.

Topsoil Spirit said, "Don't be too excessive! I have already established a connection with the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Even if you can kill me, you won't be able to do that in one strike. Countless people are looking for you. Do you think you can kill me before I expose your whereabouts? Will you have enough time to escape your pursuers by the time you finally kill me?"

The two were still moving rapidly while speaking to each other. Topsoil Spirit was moving astonishingly fast even underwater.

With an odd look in his eyes, Su Yu asked, "How did you obtain control over the five elements?"

"The five ancestors of the five elements each left a brand in my body. Su Yu, do you think you can kill me? I am the hope of the five elemental race. Killing me will incur the wrath of Invincibles. I guarantee you that."

"You're overestimating yourself." Su Yu coldly said, "Once you're dead, you'll cease being their hope. Any genius will stop being a genius the moment they are dead. Their value will vanish completely."

That was true as well. Topsoil Spirit cursed. But he was not dead yet, right? So at the moment, he was still the hope of the five elemental race.

He took out an item. The moment the item appeared, it started emanating tremendous pressure. It was a wooden stake.

Topsoil Spirit aimed the stake at Su Yu.

"Su Yu, you asked for this!"

The wooden stake felt extremely powerful.

Alarmed, Su Yu roared and mustered the strength of his semi-opened yang acupoint. At the same time, he consumed a drop of seventh-stage Mountainsea blood essence. His skin started tearing from the sheer power of the blood essence. Even so, he consumed a second drop of blood essence before swinging his saber.

It was as though a river of light had streamed out of the saber, collapsing upon Topsoil Spirit. That was an incomparably powerful attack. But as the price, Su Yu's skin tore apart. His body was still incapable of withstanding such a level of power.

At the same time, Topsoil Spirit stabbed his wooden stake forward.

Boom!

Intense power of wood erupted and instantly covered the saber light. Next, the saber light exploded. Topsoil Spirit's expression changed as he cursed inwardly.

Holy shit!

This fellow was too scary. Seventh-stage Mountainsea! That fellow had actually mustered such a level of strength. But that was still not enough to deal with his wooden stake. The wooden stake continued shooting toward Su Yu.

Even with the physical strength of a seventh-stage Mountainsea...

Su Yu's eyes widened in focus as he stared at the incoming attack and made numerous calculations rapidly. Inside his heart, the miniature man woke up again. Holy shit! What was it this time?

But Su Yu was still unprecedentedly calm. This was still something he could deal with. In fact, he had multiple ways to deal with this.

Firstly, he could fully open his yang acupoint and consume a drop of Sunmoon blood essence to go wild against the wooden stake. That might result in the destruction of his body, but he could survive.

Secondly...using the Five Elemental Art. He could feel the dense power of life coming from the wooden stake. He was no stranger to this power. This was the power of the five elements. And similar to Jiu Xuan's talisman, this wooden stake was most likely something created by an Invincible.

"Perhaps...the Five Elemental Art can deal with this."

That power felt too familiar. Should he destroy his body to fight it or take a gamble? Naturally, he decided to gamble.

"No, it's a Cloudbreach. First on Heaven Index, Su Yu..."

"..."

The connection was severed abruptly. Perhaps the ancestor couldn't maintain the connection for too long. Or perhaps he was so shocked he accidentally severed the connection.

Topsoil Spirit coughed a mouthful of blood. His entire sea of willpower was roiling madly. A conversation across realms had placed massive pressure on him even though he wasn't the person initiating it.

And Wood Ancestor would probably remain in the Five Elemental Realm. Since Topsoil Spirit was not dead, there was no reason for the ancestor to leave.

"The ancestor was probably dumbstruck as well."

Topsoil Spirit continued grumbling. He was promised that the wooden stake could kill Sunmoons. But the damn thing had failed to kill even a Cloudbreach. Maybe the ancestor was busy doubting life itself at this moment.

Topsoil Spirit was extremely cautious. He did not stop moving. What rotten luck. Not only had he gained nothing, he had even lost the wooden stake. Each ancestor of the five elementals had given him one such treasure. When he finished all five treasures, he would be out of trump cards. It was very unlikely for Invincibles to actually interfere on his behalf unless other Invincibles were the ones trying to kill him.

For the most part, all these young geniuses would be left to their own devices unless other Invincibles were involved. After losing the wooden stake, he was left with only four ultimate trump cards.

He had roamed the Allheaven Battlefield for quite a while and encountered numerous enemies. This was actually his first time using one of the five treasures. But the result had strayed massively from his expectations.

"What shitty luck!"

Topsoil Spirit's heart was aching intensely from the massive loss. Why must it be that fellow? He was nearly killed. That was so dangerous. He was actually forced to sacrifice one of his five treasures just to survive the encounter.

***

While Topsoil Spirit was wallowing in grief, Su Yu was frowning with displeasure. What a difficult opponent to kill.

Damn it! Every one of these Invincible descendants was filled to the brim with trump cards given by their seniors.

Naturally, he was completely neglecting the fact that he had also used the characters of Ye Batian to achieve the feat of killing Sunmoons. That could also be considered a power inherited from his seniors.

"But that has been helpful as well. That power actually helped me complete two whole body forgings."

Su Yu comforted himself that he had not left empty-handed. At the very least, he had completed two body forgings. This was actually a decent harvest.

Thanks to the life force from the wooden stake, he had even healed all the injuries he suffered from opening his yang acupoint halfway and consuming high-stage Mountainsea blood essence.

"Unfortunately, Topsoil Spirit now knows my secret."

Su Yu frowned. That would be troublesome. He reckoned Topsoil Spirit would have even more trump cards given by Invincibles.

"Five Elemental Art..."

Su Yu's eyes flickered as he thought of something. It was very likely that Topsoil Spirit still had four such treasures. In that case, he would have no choice but to keep an eye out for Topsoil Spirit from now on. If one such treasure could complete two body forgings for him, he could probably complete eight more body forgings with the remaining four.

In fact, he had been in too much of a rush previously. Thus, part of the power had been wasted. Otherwise, he could have forged his body even more.

"I won't be able to absorb more than one at the same time as that will blow me apart. But I can handle one just fine. The Five Elemental Art seems very compatible with the power of the five elemental race."

This was Su Yu's first time making use of the Five Elemental Art in this manner. He was quite satisfied with the result.

"Topsoil Spirit can help me complete at least eight more body forgings."

That was basically a treasure trove. Su Yu licked his lips with anticipation. Topsoil Spirit would be his new target! Since that fellow still had so many treasures and lacked the ability to kill him, he naturally had to make that fellow his new target.
