Chapter 123 - 118: Invincible

Chapter 123: Chapter 118: Invincible

"I naturally knew it was you," Su Tan said with a smile. "So... interested in teaming up to test my skills?"

"Of course! If I can fight alongside Mr. Su, Chu’Er is more than willing!" Yun Chu nodded immediately.

This was Mr. Su, after all... an existence who had the Medicine King serving as his gardener.

"But... Mr. Su, with your cultivation base, isn’t participating in this petty game of battles a bit of a waste of your talents?"

"You can’t say that. The Marching Battlefield isn’t just useful for those with low cultivation; it is equally beneficial for those with high cultivation," Su Tan replied.

He needed to advertise the Marching Battlefield. He couldn’t let those powerful cultivators think the cultivation gains here were only attainable by the weak. He had to attract more experts to come in and be his free labor.

"I’ve gained some insights into my cultivation recently and wanted to come in to verify them. I didn’t expect to run into you."

Su Tan wasn’t entirely lying. During his cultivation in the real world, his Body Refinement realm, Qi Condensation realm, combined with the benefits from his equipment slots, had caused his cultivation to surge.

However, Su Tan’s situation was different from others. Other cultivators could have their strength judged by their cultivation realms. Even if there were discrepancies, they wouldn’t be massive. But Su Tan’s strength... could no longer be judged by this world’s cultivation system. Entering the Void God Realm this time, he had considered sneaking into the Marching Battlefield to test his true combat power without causing a sensation. It was also a coincidence that he ran into Yun Chu. After realizing her identity as "One," his curiosity prompted him to tag along.

Why was he curious? Because when Su Tan previously treated Yun Chu, he noticed something slightly unusual about this girl’s body...

No... it wasn’t that she had a particularly great figure or anything. It was... her Physique! An extraordinarily unique Physique...

For her to become a King’s Dao expert at such a young age was highly unusual. Su Tan had been searching for the reason and actually found some clues later on. He had initially planned to study it thoroughly in the real world after resolving the matter with the Yin Demon Summoning Array. But since they ran into each other here... it made things much easier. Here, he was the administrator. With the Fat Monk helping him in the Divine Mansion, Su Tan could easily handle any situation.

"I see!" Yun Chu didn’t doubt him.

ROAR!

Two Yin Demons lunged toward Su Tan and Yun Chu. Chatting so blatantly on enemy turf was bound to provoke a reaction.

They struck in an instant.

SWISH!

With a swing of her long, thin blade, the towering Yin Demon attacking her was instantly sliced in half.

"Mountain Lean Strike!"

Su Tan’s body moved, shining brilliantly like a Divine Artifact. He charged forward like a meteor.

BANG...

The Yin Demon exploded like a balloon of blood, blowing apart on the spot.

With Su Tan’s elevated cultivation, his use of this move was no longer comparable to the past. Not to mention, he had specifically upgraded the Martial Technique quality of the Mountain Lean Strike. A chaotic mix of Martial Techniques, such as the Celestial Emperor Fist, the Heaven-Dominating Fist, and the Demon-Suppressing Finger, had all been integrated into it.

Now... although it was still called the Mountain Lean Strike, compared to its former self, the difference was like night and day! It was a crude, simple, yet effective method of attack that made one’s blood boil.

Yun Chu’s mouth fell open. "A Dominator Body? Does Mr. Su possess a Demon Fiend bloodline? Is he a Demon Beast?" she murmured, stunned. "But... why can’t I smell any demonic aura on him? Moreover, this Dominator Body... seems ten thousand times more terrifying than Peach Branch Lanlan’s."

RUMBLE...

The aura of the Dominator Body vanished... only to be replaced by another aura from Su Tan’s body. He was doing it on purpose.

"A... Sacred Body???" Yun Chu was dumbfounded. "How is it possible to simultaneously possess the bloodlines of both a Dominator Body and a Sacred Body? In the legends... aren’t they mortal enemies?"

And this was merely the tip of the iceberg of Su Tan’s Physique.

A moment later, the bloodlines of the Sacred Body and the Dominator Body appeared simultaneously... merging into one.

BOOM...

Su Tan blasted another Yin Demon into pieces.

"Mr. Su... Su Tan... Tanzi... So Mr. Su is actually Tanzi??"

"Don’t just stand there, come help!" Su Tan called out. Saying that, he charged into the fray of Yin Demons.

"Oh... okay..." Yun Chu put her mask back on, drew her sword, and joined the fight.

Su Tan fought tooth and nail, meeting force with force. Yun Chu’s combat style, however, was akin to an assassin’s. Their cooperation made the underground Yin Demons suffer miserably. They were unstoppable.

Together, Su Tan and Yun Chu destroyed this small Guiding Array.

"A fake Array? No wonder there were so few Yin Demon guards!"

...

"DING~ Congratulations to [One] for destroying Array +1..."

"DING~ Congratulations to [One] for destroying Array +1..."

...

With Su Tan joining, One’s speed in destroying Arrays became significantly faster. However, she quickly realized a problem...

"Mr. Su, why does the Divine War Game’s broadcast only announce my name? Why aren’t you included?"

"Perhaps the game glitched!" Su Tan waved his hand, offering no real explanation. "Don’t worry about that. Let’s go to the next spot!"

He continued to lead Yun Chu to Array locations that were hard for players to find, as well as spots suspected of holding Arrays.

With an assistant like Yun Chu and the Fat Monk backing him up, Su Tan navigated the Marching Battlefield like a descending Celestial God, a true child of destiny. He was like a fish in water. He used Yun Chu’s strength to help him strike down numerous Yin Demon strongholds.

If he left the players to resolve every confirmed or suspected Array location on the map themselves, they definitely wouldn’t be able to clear them all. The appearance of Su Tan and Yun Chu served to tie up these loose ends. If he didn’t utilize a King’s Dao realm expert like Yun Chu, who else would he use?

During this time, Su Tan also deliberately displayed his Physiques...

RUMBLE...

"A Dao Body..." Su Tan had not only displayed the Dominator Body, the Sacred Body, and the fusion of the two, but now he was revealing the Dao Body!

"Mr. Su... how can your body accommodate so many different bloodlines? Why hasn’t your body suffered any backlash?" Yun Chu couldn’t help but ask.

"Surprised?" Su Tan said. "Whatever exists is reasonable. Since they coexist in my body, it proves they have a necessary reason to be there. Just like you," he said meaningfully.

"Me???" Yun Chu was taken aback.

"That’s right, you. Did you think you could hide it from me? From your bloodline, I actually sensed the aura of other bloodlines... a Divine Body, a Dao Body, a Nether Body... Although their auras were extremely faint—so much so that I didn’t even notice them at first—as your body recovered, those elements experienced a resurgence and became increasingly obvious.

"I kept wondering... you don’t possess a special bloodline or any heaven-defying fortuitous encounters, at most some divination abilities. So why did you achieve the King’s Dao realm at such a young age? Then I understood... it’s because of your Physique!" Su Tan explained.

Ahem... it was actually a system prompt, but someone shamelessly claimed the discovery as his own. No one would know anyway. It wasn’t embarrassing, right?

"Through my continuous observation... I discovered your Physique is actually far from simple. A massive amount of bloodline power remains within your body. Those faint traces don’t seem innate, but rather the result of someone forcefully damaging, destroying, and eradicating them..."

Hearing this, Yun Chu’s expression changed drastically. Because Su Tan was right. Completely right.

"Mr. Su... I’m well aware of this. However, that bloodline power should have been completely erased..."

"Erased?" Su Tan shook his head. "No, it can’t be erased. As long as it existed, it cannot be erased. It has already become a part of your body. Erasing it is impossible!"

"Are you saying my foreign bloodlines are still inside my body?"

"They’ve always been there!"

"Once, numerous conflicting bloodlines existed in my body. A passing Saint Dao expert told me that if I didn’t erase the excess bloodlines, I would face terrible consequences and wouldn’t live past the age of eighteen... Later, I resolved to dissolve all the bloodlines in my body. I bought a bottle of Transformation Liquid at a steep price from a distant, powerful empire to wipe them all out. Eventually, I broke and rebuilt myself, achieving my King’s Dao realm cultivation. But the Transformation Liquid was too potent; while it dissolved the foundation of my bloodlines, it also damaged my origin..."

"Quack doctors harm people!!" Su Tan interjected speechlessly, interrupting Yun Chu. "Who said having multiple bloodlines isn’t a good thing, or that they will definitely conflict?!"

"I used to believe that fire and water couldn’t coexist in one person’s body, but after seeing you, Mr. Su, I believe it... and I regret my choice!"

Su Tan was a perfect example.

"It’s not too late to realize this now. In the future, when your special Physique resurges, don’t interfere with it. Just leave everything to me," Su Tan said.

A natural genius with multiple Physiques—Su Tan found her quite interesting.

"Now, what we need to do is continue fighting... and continue destroying the Yin Demon Summoning Arrays!"

The future was for the future. The pressing matter now was to properly exploit her combat prowess.

"DING~ One destroyed Array +1..."

"DING~ One destroyed Array +1..."

"DING~ One destroyed Array +1..."

...

Under the combined efforts of Su Tan and Yun Chu, those poorly guarded and hidden Array locations were swiftly destroyed.

Worthy of the King’s Dao realm, worthy of being Yun Chu. After her body recovered, her combat power was simply terrifying. It made Su Tan like this free muscle more and more.

...

They swept through everything in their path. Until their destroyed count surpassed the Fu Jian Squad’s.

At this moment, [One] once again forced everyone to see her in a new light.

"[One] is just one person... She formed a team by herself, then... steamrolled through everything, catching up to the Fu Jian Squad? And she surpassed them?"

It stunned the entire audience!

"What the hell is that..."

"One is truly a monster!"

The announcement didn’t mention Tanzi; it only displayed One... Everyone believed One had accomplished this independently.

With this... the entire Void God Realm exploded in an uproar.

Whether it was the cultivators busy completing quests, or the eliminated players counting down the seconds to their respawn. They were collectively shocked.

"This is One? She doesn’t act often, but when she does, it’s earth-shattering?"

"She is just one person..."

"Is she even human?"

"One" was invincible, displaying unparalleled brilliance.
