Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 559 - 478: Nothing More Than a Pair of Star-Crossed Lovers

"Don’t speak nonsense!"

Hearing the slander from the Fake Chu Jiang, Su Yuan sternly retorted:

"What do you mean by extreme? This is clearly gathering the wish power of all beings to condense an Elemental Energy Bomb capable of defeating the big boss, just like in the grand finales of passionate manga."

Upon these words, not only the Fake Chu Jiang, even Chen Nuoyi and others watching from afar fell silent.

Blood Sacrifice is Blood Sacrifice, and you call this gathering wish power?

The cadres of the Primordial Sect couldn’t listen to your sophistry any longer.

But no matter what, enhancing one’s combat power through a Blood Sacrifice Ceremony with a Corruption Golden Core is the optimal solution.

For the real residents of Ten Immortals City, Su Yuan could only make the people of the Illusion Realm World suffer a bit, and he would bear the infamy.

Streaks of red light shot out from the battlefield, flooding into the Three Domains, precisely taking root in one cultivator after another.

With the initiation of the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, their bodies quickly dried up, and in the blink of an eye, they were drained of all their blood and cultivation.

This phenomenon was not limited to a single town or city but occurred simultaneously in every inch of the Taixu World; even the fish in the sea couldn’t escape it.

Tens of millions of cultivators and citizens thus perished, and everything they had became Su Yuan’s resources against the Fake Chu Jiang.

Even if most of the sacrificed citizens were illusions or projections of Ten Immortals City residents, the demonic qi around Su Yuan continued to surge upward.

In the blink of an eye, his demonic might became more than ten times stronger than before.

And with the concerted efforts of the billions in the Taixu World, Su Yuan’s combat power reached an unprecedented peak!

"He who gains the Dao has many helpers, while he who loses the Dao has few! Fake Chu Jiang, take this punch that embodies the faith of all beings!"

Su Yuan shouted fiercely, swallowing the Corruption Golden Core that contained endless blood and pure spiritual power into his belly, where it suddenly exploded.

When this massive, immeasurable blood and pure spiritual power exploded, Su Yuan’s body instantly swelled up like a balloon.

If it weren’t for the enhancement his body received from the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, it would have burst upon receiving such power!

Su Yuan stabilized the surging power within him at the fastest speed, disregarding its destructive nature, and fused it into every cell of his being.

Then, taking one step forward, he punched with boundless strength, shattering the surrounding space, instantly appearing before the Fake Chu Jiang.

Facing this punch that could almost pulverize himself, the Fake Chu Jiang decisively abandoned the so-called struggle for the Dao.

In the battle for the Primordial Dao, Su Yuan suddenly gained a huge advantage, collecting large amounts of Primordial Essence during the collision of Tribulation Thunder and the Celestial Lock.

Simultaneously, with the approach of a dying hero, the Fake Chu Jiang reactivated a defensive technique that could turn all adverse factors into illusions and disappear.

Although Su Yuan’s punch was strong, the likelihood of missing or veering off course was not small at all.

Predictably, this punch would be dodged easily by him, like all previous attacks on the Fake Chu Jiang.

But the unexpected did happen!

Boom—

The fist landed heavily on the Fake Chu Jiang’s face, his composed expression twisted and deformed suddenly.

Without a bit of leeway to cushion the blow, the force from Su Yuan’s fist unabatedly surged into the Fake Chu Jiang’s body, causing thundering reverberations in the already not-so-sturdy internals.

In the blink of an eye, his flesh shattered like fragile porcelain, covered in cracks, with blood gushing out from within.

"Twenty thousand fate boosting, kid!"

Su Yuan chuckled coldly, the Abyssal Spiritual Power invading the Fake Chu Jiang’s body, like greedy tendrils, continuously swept away the massive Primordial Essence.

"Even altering fate... You’re definitely hacking, aren’t you?"

The Fake Chu Jiang spat mockingly, a large amount of blood gushing from his mouth, blurring his words, with skin fragments falling off his cracked face.

Thus, the outcome was decided!

At this moment, Su Yuan had seized more than half of the branch of the Primordial Dao, gaining absolute control over the Celestial Lock.

The first thing he did upon gaining the Celestial Lock was releasing the blockade on the three Divinity Transformation cultivators, fully unleashing their combat power.

"I won!"

Su Yuan slowly withdrew his fist, gazing at the Fake Chu Jiang whose life was like a flickering candle in the wind, filled with a myriad of emotions.

Through this battle, he gained a clear understanding of the might of a Divinity Transformation cultivator.

Fake Chu Jiang, when his identity was exposed, was quickly suppressed and severely injured by the Star River Celestial Monarch.

Yet even in such adversity, he remained as tenacious as a viper, unleashing disasters across Ten Immortals City, using the Taixu World as his battlefield, resiliently contending with himself and the Star River Celestial Monarch’s group.

Through it all, fortunately, he had the benevolent Purple Gold Dragon Venerable and Reincarnation Celestial Monarch, with Gui Yuan capturing forty-nine Divinity Transformation projections, and a ’Speedrun Demon Cultivation’ plugin.

Three powerful aids, any less and Fake Chu Jiang would have won.

If every Divinity Transformation cultivator were as difficult as this guy, no wonder the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity was unwilling to act personally, preferring to hide in the shadows and scheme.

Nonetheless, this extremely arduous battle was worth it!

After victory, he acquired the Primordial Dao needed to ascend to the Nascent Soul Stage, restoring peace to Ten Immortals City, removing a festering tumor that could spread within the Blue Star Federation at any moment.

"Before you die, do you have any last words?"

Su Yuan stood dominantly before the Fake Chu Jiang, coldly asking.

The Fake Chu Jiang’s smile hadn’t faded:

"No more words, just proceed swiftly."

Su Yuan regrettably shook his head, thinking that with the Fake Chu Jiang’s playful attitude, he might reveal some information about the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity before his death.

Since the other party had nothing to say, Su Yuan no longer hesitated, gathering power at his dragon claw to deliver the final blow to the Fake Chu Jiang.

But just at that moment, this guy let out a long sigh and said:

"At the very end, let me share some good news with you... My demise itself was enough to make the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity realize that a cultivator of the Primordial Dao has emerged within the Blue Star Federation."

"Because otherwise, I would never have exposed my whereabouts, hehe, so I still won."

At these words, Su Yuan and everyone present were startled.

In the end, they could only sigh softly.

The secret that had been hidden for so long couldn’t be kept, after all.

Pausing, the Fake Chu Jiang continued:

"Sigh, truth be told, I didn’t want to be exposed either. Instead of being a shadow at the beck and call of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, I much prefer the warmth of the Blue Star Federation."

"It’s just unfortunate that, Su Yuan, you’ve cultivated the Primordial Dao, destined to have a life-and-death struggle with me who mastered a branch of the Primordial Dao."

"In short, we’re really a pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks!"

Su Yuan’s face darkened, and with his fist poised, he punched like a cannonball:

"Take your ill-fated mandarin ducks and go eat shit!"

Boom—

With the punch, the Fake Chu Jiang’s body was immediately blasted into countless pieces, impossible to piece back together.

Su Yuan used the Celestial Lock he had just acquired to absorb all the remaining Primordial Essence within.

Thus, the complete branch of the Primordial Dao fell entirely into his hands.

"It’s finally over... Though it wasn’t the best ending, it’s not the worst either."

Looking at the devastation on the battlefield, Su Yuan let out a long exhale.

It was then that a ding sounded in Su Yuan’s mind.

[Task Progress Two: Master the World’s Foundation (1/1)]

[Task: Demon Sect Rules the Otherworld (Completed)]

[Task Reward: Demon Technique·Tiger (Level 5) (Claimable)]

The formal completion of the main quest ’New World’ also meant that the Fake Chu Jiang truly had no trump card left and the Taixu World was completely under Su Yuan’s control.

"Su Yuan, can we leave here now?"

Qi Hanyan approached, asking expectantly.

Su Yuan turned around to face the members of the Hero Squad:

"I have gained control over the Taixu World’s permissions. Anyone or anything from outside the Illusion Realm can leave whenever they wish."

"Not only that..."

With a wave of his hand, four figures appeared out of thin air on the field. They were the four teammates that Su Yuan had personally killed just a moment ago: Taibai Phecda, Spiritual Glass Fairy, Demon Refining True Monarch, and Zhu Qingqing.

Among them, Zhu Qingqing’s body and the Spiritual Glass Fairy’s were generated from data preserved by the two within the Taixu World.

In layman’s terms, they were strings of code that could be easily generated and replicated as long as the Taixu World had enough energy.

And Zhu Qingqing’s soul, Taibai Phecda, and Demon Refining True Monarch were their real-world selves that Su Yuan had awakened from their slumber.

"...I can re-manifest in the Illusion Realm any life form or object that once existed here, and I can awaken the slumbering real bodies of the Ten Immortals City residents, allowing them to walk in the Taixu World."

Su Yuan slowly added the latter half of his statement.

Hearing this, everyone present couldn’t help but show expressions of astonishment.

Being able to arbitrarily decide others’ life and death and modify the world’s rules, now Su Yuan was not much different from the Heavenly Dao of the Taixu World.

Even though he was only an emperor in the Taixu World, it was still remarkable.

In fact, the Fake Chu Jiang should have been able to do everything Su Yuan could now do, but was restricted by Chu Lanxi.

Otherwise, he could have destroyed this world the instant it was generated.

"Senior Star River, and all of you, I have an unreasonable request."

Su Yuan spoke seriously, revealing his intention:

"I wish to retain the Taixu World for a longer period. I want to make the most out of it to enhance my strength."

"For example, relying on the resources of the Taixu World to advance my cultivation, and before leaving, materializing all these enhancements into reality."

"Simply put, I want to form my Nascent Soul here, and especially need your help, especially Senior Star River, to protect me."

Hearing this, Zhu Qingqing was the first to agree:

"I support the boss’s proposal! The boss’s idea is my idea, and my master and I will do our utmost to protect the boss."

To enjoy the promise Su Yuan painted for her, Zhu Qingqing had become a loyal maid.

Star River Celestial Monarch also nodded slightly:

"Su Yuan, your promotion is most important. No one knows if there are still Abyssal Shadows within the Blue Star Federation."

"Instead of worrying about being assassinated while trying to break through in seclusion outside, it’s better to thoroughly digest all gains here in one go."

The Zhu Family, Xuan Haoran, and others naturally had no objections.

Taibai Phecda, even more so, had nothing to say. Even if the Spiritual Glass Sword Immortal was just an illusion, a piece of data, he wanted to spend more time with her in the Taixu World as if it were a dream he never wished to awaken from.

Finally, Su Yuan turned his gaze to Chen Nuoyi, who hadn’t spoken.

Faced with Su Yuan’s gaze, the girl’s expression was somewhat peculiar:

"I have no objection, but Su Yuan, the resources of the Taixu World you mentioned, wouldn’t happen to refer to human resources, right?"
