Chapter 1889: Chapter 1890: The Sword Within the Wood

Yang Junmo’s interference indeed halted the Silver Dragon Cave Master’s steps. The concentration of Heavenly Dao Breath emanating from the Earth Tablet truly made the Silver Dragon Cave Master feel troubled.

This application of Heavenly Dao Breath should not belong to a cultivator who has yet to step into the Earth Immortal realm.

He was not without confidence in breaking the tablet, but the effort required was not something that could be ignored in just three attempts.

Thus, the Silver Dragon Cave Master’s gaze shifted slightly, landing on Su Chengyu, who was rushing towards the edge of his small world.

Watching Su Chengyu’s unwavering and decisive form, the Silver Dragon Cave Master spoke softly.

“Even if you create an opportunity for him, trying to dismantle my Asura Purgatory is not an easy task.”

As the Silver Dragon Cave Master finished speaking, countless Evil Ghosts and Asuras emerged from the ground, all charging towards Su Chengyu, clearly not planning to let him leave this place.

However, upon hearing these words, Yang Junmo was not the least bit tense and laughed silently.

“Old thing, are you underestimating that guy too much?”

“Hmm?”

“Although I, Yang Junmo, may not count as the most outstanding among the younger generation in Xia Country, there are only three people whom I genuinely respect: Long Xuan, Ye Qingci, and him.”

“Him? Does he deserve to be mentioned alongside those two?”

Indeed, Su Chengyu’s current fame was no longer comparable to before, but in the eyes of the vast majority, only those two who had reached the Earth Immortal state were notable among the last few decades.

Listening to the Silver Dragon Cave Master’s comments, Yang Junmo took a deep breath and said.

“Many years ago, I shared your opinion, even thinking less of him than you do. But I am certain that if this kid were truly on the same starting line as those two, it is uncertain who would be the number one young person in the world today.”

Bang!

As if confirming Yang Junmo’s words, a blue flame surged in the distance, and the enormous dragon dharma body created entirely of blue flame swung its tail, sweeping away all of the surrounding Evil Ghosts and Asuras with just one hit.

These Evil Ghosts and Asuras, like spiritual life forms, had no independent consciousness and showed no fear after being repelled, continuing to swarm.

However, the burning blue flame penetrated these beings like maggots gnawing at bones, directly igniting their Mana and souls completely.

“Soul Flame? How is that possible?!”

The flame burning souls could no longer be merely described as fire by its nature.

Fire was just its appearance; its true essence was, like the Earth Tablet blocking the way, an extremely high-level application method of the Heavenly Dao Breath.

“Old thing, do you believe what I said now?”

The Silver Dragon Cave Master frowned slightly, and just as he was about to move his right hand holding the Zen Stick, a bolt of lightning struck directly into his palm, instantly halting his action.

“Old thing, chatting is one thing, but don’t really think I’m just here for small talk.”

The Silver Dragon Cave Master coldly looked at Yang Junmo, who was as sticky as cowhide glue, and said, “Don’t think I’ll spare you just because you’re Yang Chengyin’s son.”

Upon hearing that familiar name, Yang Junmo’s face cooled down again.

“Good, I want to see what makes you think you can make my father decide as he did.”

The Earth Tablet pressed downward, and demonic-infused golden light erupted from beside the Silver Dragon Cave Master.

“If you wish to die, I’ll grant you that!”

The Silver Dragon Cave Master no longer held back, truly regarding Yang Junmo as his opponent.

Meanwhile.

Having used the Green Lotus Godfire to rid himself of all surrounding Evil Ghosts and Asuras, Su Chengyu looked at the final barrier before him and thrusted his sword.

On the Dragon Slayer Sword, the Heavenly Dao Breath spread madly at the small world border like poison poured into water.

Given Su Chengyu’s current realm, completely destroying this small world in a short time was utterly impossible.

But relying on the Dragon Slayer Sword and using the Breath of Reincarnation to break open a gap sufficient for him to pass through was merely a matter of moments.

“Are you really going to abandon that guy? He won’t last much longer, will he?”

At this moment, Yang Junmo had the Earth Tablet as an aid, a supply of elixirs and secret treasures for support, and the determination and courage to face the enemy.

But all this could only allow Yang Junmo to engage the Silver Dragon Cave Master briefly; the gap in realm and accumulation was ultimately too great, and Yang Junmo’s defeat was only a matter of time.

He spoke lightly, but Su Chengyu understood more clearly.

“This is the opportunity he fought for; letting it slip would be the utmost disrespect to him. But you’re right, I should indeed leave something…”

Feeling Su Chengyu’s peculiar gaze, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core sensed imminent danger, but before it could speak.

Su Chengyu had already severed the connection between the Dragon Slayer Sword and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core, directly tossing it inside the small world.

“You beast! Don’t you know what other depths I have? What can you accomplish by leaving me behind?”

Having already half-stepped out of the small world, Su Chengyu glanced back at the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core he left behind and calmly said.

“You should be aware of what would happen if those people caught you. I don’t know what you can do, but if you want to live, exhaust all your might.”

Buzz!

The small world breach closed, and Su Chengyu took a deep breath in the cocoon-like space before him.

“Sire… that guy won’t die in there, right?”

“He won’t. I promised, I’d bring him back.”

Su Chengyu spoke as if reassuring himself, but deep down, he had no confidence in what might happen inside.

The Vermilion Bird Immortal Core must have some hidden reserves, Su Chengyu was certain, or she wouldn’t have tested him all along this journey.

But similarly, if that reserve was not a sure thing against me, facing the Silver Dragon Cave Master only made hope more remote.

Assisting Yang Junmo was its only choice, but what Su Chengyu had to do…

Su Chengyu turned his head to the northwest, where the connecting line of these spiritual life forms converged.

He did not know what he was facing but was clear that the return path must lie at that location.

“A distance of nearly ten thousand miles, you have a quarter-hour.”

Hu Xiao, upon hearing Su Chengyu’s command, instantly gained clarity in his gaze. Faced with the task given by Su Chengyu, one even Hu Xiao wasn’t sure he could complete, he knew he had no choice at this moment.

“Rest assured, my lord.”

The wind follows the dragon, the cloud follows the tiger.

The Dragon Tiger Demon Clan always had an innate speed advantage. Although speed might not be their most prominent ability, their ability in this regard generally exceeded the standard.

And Hu Xiao was evidently an expert in this path among the demon clan.

This is why Su Chengyu would assign such a near-impossible task even in the Primordial Land, a special place.

And Su Chengyu himself had no intention of idling. As Hu Xiao darted forward, Su Chengyu extended his divine sense to its maximum perception range, using the Mountain and Sea Scroll’s capabilities to map out everything around as thoroughly as possible.

At the close of the designated time, a unique scene finally emerged on Su Chengyu’s Mountain and Sea Scroll.

A tree.

A gigantic tree that soared into the sky supporting the entire world, and what caught Su Chengyu’s attention most.

Was the eye-like wooden core atop the great tree, and there, a sword whose appearance was intimately familiar to Su Chengyu.

“That’s the Dragon Slayer?”
