Chapter 633 - 553: Su Yuan’s One Punch

"Su Yuan?"

Seeing the youth making such a dazzling entrance, the Decaying Celestial Monarch's pupils slightly contracted.

As for the name Su Yuan, he could truly be said to have heard it like thunder in his ears.

However, he had never actually seen Su Yuan with his own eyes before; only during his roving through the cosmos, in one clash after another with the Divinity Transformation Cultivators under the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, had he heard of Su Yuan's various feats.

Su Yuan! The only Primordial Dao wielder on their side in this epoch.

He liberated the Celestial Law World, joined forces with Gui Yuan and the Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Blue Star Federation, and drove off the Holy Law Governance Council personally overseen by the Faceless Man.

He personally traveled the universe, and through some unfathomable method of positioning, captured three Divinity Transformation Cultivators under the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity and beheaded them one by one.

Later, in the game of wits against the Mystic World, he even pitted the Demon Mother Wan Chenxin, forcing her to descend upon Blue Star, and by means unknown to others, made Wan Chenxin betray the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.

After that battle, he conveniently united with the Mystic World and rescued the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable.

The Decaying Celestial Monarch knew that, both openly and in secret, the things Su Yuan had done were certainly far more than just these.

But even the rumors he'd picked up were enough to prove that Su Yuan was a legend, a protagonist of this era destined to grow and one day stand on the very front line against the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.

The Decaying Celestial Monarch had once thought of going to Blue Star to visit Su Yuan, and to see his two old acquaintances Gui Yuan and the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, but he had always been busy and never found the time.

What he hadn't expected was that the two of them would meet like this, by pure chance.

And moreover, in such a perilous situation, directly facing a clone of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.

"I'm not late, am I?"

Su Yuan's figure flickered and appeared before the Decaying Celestial Monarch and the other Divinity Transformation Cultivators, smiling as he asked.

The Decaying Celestial Monarch smiled and shook his head.

Feeling the vigorous Divinity Transformation Cultivation surging from Su Yuan's body, the Decaying Celestial Monarch was utterly astonished.

In the rumors he'd heard, Su Yuan only had Nascent Soul Cultivation, or at most Golden Core Cultivation.

How was it that after barely more than a year without news of Su Yuan, he had already stepped into Divinity Transformation?

Are the new generation of Cultivators all this outrageous?

Still, even though Su Yuan had already proved the Dao of Divinity Transformation, the Decaying Celestial Monarch did not think highly of Su Yuan's odds in this battle against the Faceless Man.

Su Yuan might not even be able to win a one-on-one duel with the enemy, let alone when a Fierce Beast from Chaos was thrown into the mix.

"Su Yuan, little friend, if you don't have full confidence, you should withdraw at once. Your life shouldn't be left on this localized battlefield."

The Decaying Celestial Monarch solemnly reminded him.

Su Yuan gave a faint smile:

"Senior Decaying, there's no need for you to worry. To tell you the truth, don't be fooled by how arrogant the Faceless Man looks; in reality, I've already beaten him so hard he's been fleeing with his tail between his legs."

"He ran all the way, and I chased all the way, which is the only reason he ended up here."

The Decaying Celestial Monarch, the four Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Mystic Blue World: "???"

Having witnessed the power of that Chaos Whale, they couldn't help thinking Su Yuan was bragging.

It's not that we don't believe you, but you ought to show us a couple of moves first.

Su Yuan didn't say anything more. He stamped heavily with his foot, and his body shot out like a meteor flying in reverse, charging straight at the Chaos Giant Whale.

Under the stunned gazes of the five Divinity Transformation Cultivators, Su Yuan threw a punch across the void, and that Chaos Giant Whale—larger than the entire Mystic Blue World—actually flew backward all of a sudden like a kite with its string cut!

In the blink of an eye, the giant whale had been knocked back an unknown tens of thousands of miles; in the eyes of the common folk of the Mystic Blue World its massive body rapidly shrank, until it finally became just another speck among the stars.

All the Divinity Transformation Cultivators instantly widened their eyes.

Is this still a person… No, is this still a Divinity Transformation Cultivator?

Why does it feel like the gap between one Divinity Transformation and another is even bigger than the gap between mortals and Cultivators?

"Hmph! Su Yuan, you really cling like a haunting ghost, don't you!"

The Faceless Man's tone was icy, yet faintly tinged with wariness.

"Are you going to roll away on your own, or shall I simply execute you on the spot?"

Su Yuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back and spoke calmly.

Perhaps cowed by Su Yuan's mountain-like, abyss-deep bearing, the Faceless Man—who had always treated everything as a joke and stayed perfectly composed no matter how many Divinity Transformation Powerhouses he faced—actually showed rare signs of backing down.

"We've got a long road ahead of us. I want to see whether you can keep up with my pace forever."

"Whether I kill faster, or you save faster—let's wait and see."

Leaving those harsh words behind, the Faceless Man's figure rapidly turned indistinct and finally faded into nothingness.

Celestial Monarch Qingyun, whose limbs had been twisted off, floated down from midair like a falling leaf, utterly powerless.

Su Yuan sent out a strand of Mana, gently supporting Celestial Monarch Qingyun's descent, then slowly turned around and spoke in a tone full of warmth:

"I've given you all a fright."

"Please forgive my lack of ability. I couldn't both protect the entire Mystic Blue World and completely slay the Faceless Man, so I had no choice but to let him escape."

All the Divinity Transformation Cultivators: "..."

That's already enough! More than enough! Just punching the Faceless Man away is already defying the heavens!

If you could take him out on the spot, we'd have to suspect you were some kind of special life form.

Seeing that all the Divinity Transformation Cultivators, including the Decaying Celestial Monarch, were filled with respect for him, Su Yuan smiled slightly and continued:

"Fellow Daoists, I can protect you for a time, but I can't protect you forever."

"I won't hide it from you—in the very recent past, the Faceless Man brought that Chaos Whale to my homeland, Blue Star, and nearly destroyed it."

"And Blue Star is only the starting point of his plan. Regardless of whether his conquest of Blue Star succeeds or fails, he will turn his spear toward other Cultivation Civilizations, and sweep through them one by one until they're all cleansed."

Hearing this, the four Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Mystic Blue World finally realized how serious the problem was.

The only woman among the Divinity Transformation Cultivators, the palace-dressed beautiful matron, asked nervously:

"Su Yuan, little friend, what should we do?"

"If you leave, and the Faceless Man comes back to slaughter us, wouldn't our Mystic Blue World be in danger of complete annihilation?"

At this point, Su Yuan finally laid his cards on the table.

"In fact, our Blue Star has always wanted to unite every power in the universe that can be united and form a great Cultivation alliance."

"As of today, the Blue Star Federation has already joined with the Celestial Law World and the Mystic World. Within the alliance, counting everyone other than me, there are a total of twenty Divinity Transformation Cultivators."

"If you are willing to join the Blue Star Federation and huddle together with us for warmth, this crisis can be alleviated for now."

After listening to Su Yuan's explanation, one hot-headed Divinity Transformation Cultivator said:

"We have to join this alliance! I can't wait to move the Mystic Blue World away from here right this instant!"

Fortunately, there were still some relatively rational people among the Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Mystic Blue World.

The white-robed Divinity Transformation Cultivator with a wine gourd at his waist turned toward the Decaying Celestial Monarch and earnestly asked:

"Senior Decaying, what do you think of the alliance Su Yuan, little friend, speaks of?"

After the recent crisis, and after personally watching the Decaying Celestial Monarch cover their retreat, the white-robed Divinity Transformation Cultivator's trust in the Decaying Celestial Monarch had reached a peak.

The Decaying Celestial Monarch thought for a moment, then spoke frankly:

"To tell you the truth, my heart has long yearned for Blue Star. Two of my old acquaintances, the Saint Law Celestial Monarch and the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, are there."

"I trust that if they're willing to remain on Blue Star, they must have their reasons."

"If you can place your faith in me, why not bring the Mystic Blue World along and go with me?"

Hearing this, the Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Mystic Blue World no longer harbored any doubts. They hurriedly asked Su Yuan for the precise coordinates of Blue Star, then prepared to depart at once.

These people, who had always drifted about like idle clouds and wild cranes, were doing something with such efficiency for the very first time.
