Chapter 708: First Clash
By the time Su Lian came back to her senses, that old man had already disappeared.
Before her remained only that crystal and an ordinary-looking formal visiting card.
Su Lian’s face turned pale as she examined the crystal. Inside it, she discovered a vast amount of origin power, and the level of that origin power was astonishingly high!
She couldn’t determine exactly how high it was, but it was definitely beyond the seventy-second rank!
A powerhouse of this caliber seeking out her father... it didn’t seem like a good thing.
But just as she looked up, she found a young man already standing there, looking at her with a gentle smile.
“Father! Why did you appear?! Just now, there was a powerful figure looking for you!”
Su Lian said frantically.
Su Yuan waved his hand, and the crystal landed in his grasp.
This was a ninety-second-order Chaos Origin crystal, extremely valuable—but for a ninety-second-order powerhouse like Changsun Xuzhu, it was merely a cultivation resource.Nice item, but just one piece? That was far too stingy.
“I know. Don’t panic. I’ve been improving my strength rapidly lately, and I happen to need an opponent to test myself. His timing couldn’t be better.”
Su Yuan shook his head with a smile and picked up the visiting card.
“Ninety-second order—he’s gone through three perfections already: the seventy-second-order perfection, the eighty-first-order perfection, and the ninety-first-order perfection. I wonder just how strong he really is?”
Su Yuan spoke calmly.
But his figure had already vanished without a trace.
When he reappeared, he was already above the headquarters of the Nothingness Dominators.
The moment he appeared, he immediately drew the attention of six Nothingness Dominators, who all stared at him warily.
But Su Yuan ignored them entirely. He simply tapped the visiting card with his hand.
The card instantly dissolved, and with a ripple of spatial energy, Changsun Xuzhu materialized out of thin air.
His gaze fell on Su Yuan as he said flatly, “You must be Seven Stars, right? I won’t waste words. Hand over your Supreme Treasures and opportunities, and I’ll compensate you with ultra-high-order origin stones. You’ve already seen that Chaos Origin crystal—that’s a token of my sincerity.”
Su Yuan let out a contemptuous laugh. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand! That stone isn’t bad, though. Give me a few hundred billion more, and I might consider taking you on as a slave!”
“Arrogant fool!”
Changsun Xuzhu’s patience had already burned away.
Almost simultaneously, he made his move!
He struck out with a palm aimed straight at Su Yuan.
This palm strike contained the terrifyingly extreme Dao of Nothingness Fire, burning everything in its path—even Nothingness itself seemed to catch fire. There was nothing that could withstand the power of this blow!
As Su Yuan’s thoughts moved, countless strands of the Power of Fame formed a wall of Fame around him, shielding his body.
The fire palm collided with the wall of Fame. In that instant, countless flames of power erupted.
“Endless Nothingness Fire!”
“Sigh of Fame!”
If time could stretch infinitely in that moment,
One could see countless flames surging into the wall of Fame—a wall actually composed of countless True Names.
The True Names of countless living beings were simultaneously set ablaze by the flames. Almost no True Name could withstand the burning; they were instantly incinerated into nothingness.
But because the living beings themselves hadn’t perished, each True Name was replenished by the Power of Fame and reborn amidst the flames.
Countless True Names, like moths diving into a fire, kept resisting the Nothingness Fire, trying to extinguish it.
Under the continuous burning and tempering of the flames, some True Names actually began to grow stronger—such as Zhan Tian’s True Name, which rapidly grew in power and even broke through ranks!
However, Changsun Xuzhu’s flames also possessed an infinite nature. They could burn endlessly. No matter how many True Names there were, they could only briefly slow the flames’ advance.
Among them, Su Yuan’s own True Name was the most dazzling. It transformed into a reef, blocking the flames’ assault and even continuously quenching the fire.
Changsun Xuzhu’s own True Name was also extremely formidable. It turned into a black hole, constantly devouring the flames.
The other True Names, including Jiang Tieniu’s eighty-second-order True Name, all crumbled under the fire.
Under these circumstances, a vast amount of flame pierced through the layers of the True Name wall, reaching Su Yuan’s body surface. It was finally blocked by a layer of divine armor.
That armor came from a fragment of the Void Ark he had obtained earlier, now transformed.
【Item】: Fragment of the Void Ark Hull
【Rank】: Ninety-seventh-Order War Giant Ship (Damaged)
【Effect】: Possesses extremely strong defensive capability, can block all attacks below the ninetieth order. Also has a certain weakening effect against attacks below the ninety-third order.
This unexpected treasure had been gathering dust for a long time, and finally, it had a use.
After the flames were weakened by the wall of Fame, the remaining power was completely stopped by the fragment.
All of this took a long time to describe but happened in an instant.
After releasing the fire palm, Changsun Xuzhu simply waited for Su Yuan to die, so he withdrew his hand without launching a second strike. In his view, Su Yuan couldn’t possibly withstand that blow.
But after Su Yuan blocked the fire palm, he immediately slashed out a sword strike.
Countless True Names gathered together, forming a True Name Sword that struck toward Changsun Xuzhu.
“He blocked it?” Changsun Xuzhu’s first reaction to the incoming attack was confusion and surprise.
As the attack was about to hit him, he casually dodged.
His footwork, known as the Void Sky Step, granted him exceptional evasive ability.
Yet, Su Yuan’s attack followed the path of True Names. No matter how exquisite Changsun Xuzhu’s footwork was, it was useless.
The True Name Sword struck him solidly.
His defensive armor shimmered brilliantly, trying to block the strike. But then something even more shocking happened to Changsun Xuzhu.
This attack seemed ethereal—it passed directly through his defenses and struck his very essence!
In that instant, his origin was assaulted by countless True Name Swords!
Most of them he simply ignored, but some of those True Name Swords actually managed to carve away a negligible amount of his origin!
The amount lost was so tiny that he could recover millions of times that amount in a single breath. But what shocked him was that the other party could actually harm him!
That was utterly absurd!
Su Yuan found it equally absurd. His full-power strike had only lightly grazed his opponent. The ninety-second-order level had truly opened his eyes.
He had to admit, the guy was strong. He was basically just scratching an itch!
Changsun Xuzhu finally noticed something was off and said in surprise, “You actually have a treasure fragment that can easily block my attacks? The rank of that fragment must be incredibly high! Where did you get it?”
His eyes lit up. He was now certain that Su Yuan had a massive stroke of fortune—this treasure fragment was the proof.
Changsun Xuzhu then summoned a furnace!
Countless flames burst forth from the furnace, spreading into a sea of super fire!
The flames instantly expanded over an immeasurable distance, covering everything around them.
The six Nothingness Dominators who had been watching were caught by the sudden flames and instantly reduced to nothingness—dead!
A massive number of Scavengers and Nothingness Dominators also evaporated without a trace in that fire!
This was a Dominion-type Dominator Artifact. Among those of the same rank, it could only be used to restrict opponents and amplify one’s own power. But to beings below the seventy-second order, it became a no-discrimination mass-destruction Supreme Treasure!
