CHAPTER 1892: CHAPTER 1893: THE FOUR PILLARS OF QING TIAN

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed as Su Chengyu’s figure was slammed directly onto the ground amidst a massive cloud of dust.

Agusi’s strike easily tore through Su Chengyu’s body, comparable to that of an Earth Immortal, shattering his internal organs.

Feeling Su Chengyu’s perilous situation, the various strands of Heavenly Dao Breath in his Sea of Consciousness finally ceased their internal conflict at this moment.

The breaths transform into various golden little figures, frantically filling the gaps within Su Chengyu’s body. However, even so, his recovery speed was still unsatisfactory given the immense injuries.

After all, the battle was not yet over.

"Outsiders, just like that. I don’t understand how Lord Beast God could lose to someone like you."

From high above, Agusi spoke through gritted teeth, with no intention of hiding the hatred in his eyes directed at Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu managed a strained smile and said, "Really? As much as you claim to revere the Beast God, wasn’t it you who ultimately sent him down the path of no return?"

"Zaiyixika!"

Completely enraged, Agusi cursed in his native tongue out of instinct, and his hand swiftly smashed towards Su Chengyu’s Heavenly Spirit Cover.

Watching Agusi’s figure rapidly approaching, Su Chengyu took a deep breath. The various Heavenly Dao Breaths in his body combined, and all his Sword Momentum and Sword Intent gathered upon the Dragon Slayer.

"Ding Bahuang!"

This sword strike was Su Chengyu’s final trump card and the cause of the anomalies in his body.

Logically, Su Chengyu should not use this sword before resolving his bodily issues.

But facing the assault of a Peak Martial God and the threatening gaze of an Earth Immortal, Su Chengyu understood that only this strike might give him a glimmer of hope, the only chance for him and Yang Junmo to escape this place.

However...

Buzz.

A low hum, like a bell tolling, appeared above Su Chengyu’s head. Four sudden presences enveloped him, and four black pillars suddenly fell from the sky, forming a cage around Su Chengyu.

In this sudden change, Su Chengyu had no time to react as a chilling coldness surrounded him from all directions, piercing through all his defenses almost instantly and reaching into his Sea of Consciousness.

All the gathered golden figures were instantly turned to ice sculptures, as if touched by a cold wind.

And with it came the loss of control over all the Heavenly Dao Breaths within Su Chengyu.

No matter how he tried to summon his mana, those Breaths no longer responded to him.

"How could this be?"

"Surprised? These four Qing Tian Pillars, I painstakingly sought them out over a hundred years. They were meant for an Earth Immortal in the future. Never thought you, a junior, would experience them first. But that’s fine, after all, you are a disciple of Cang Qing, you are worth the effort."

Bang!

Agusi slammed a fist onto one of the Qing Tian Pillars, filled with hatred, eager to vent his anger on Su Chengyu.

However, the Azure Sky Cave Master just watched coldly, speaking softly: "Remember what your master wants in the end."

These words instantly calmed Agusi, and also heightened Su Chengyu’s sense of unease.

Turning his focus to the core of the giant tree, he demanded, "What exactly are you planning?"

The core, pulsing like a heartbeat, seemed to mirror the giant tree’s emotion as its vibration frequency abruptly accelerated.

"What am I planning? Naturally, it’s to stop your father. So, you really don’t understand what he intends to do, right?"

Su Chengyu remained silent, not responding, while Qing Tian spoke first.

"Know? This guy probably has never seen his cheap father. Su Zhedian has been absent for decades; if not for the Lord of the Sect, we wouldn’t even know about this place."

"What did you say? Where’s Yan’er? What have you done to Yan’er?"

Hearing news of Yu Yanshu, Su Chengyu was instantly agitated, disregarding everything and grabbing onto a Qing Tian Pillar.

The moment his hand touched the Qing Tian Pillar, a searing sensation made him instinctively let go.

Even so, Su Chengyu’s hands turned charred black.

Qing Tian chuckled at Su Chengyu’s reaction, "Rest assured, the Lord of the Sect hasn’t fallen into our hands yet. However, with Cui Manlou’s methods, we’ve been able to harness some power to our benefit, which is why we are here."

Hearing Qing Tian’s words, Su Chengyu coldly replied, "If you dare to harm even a hair on Yan’er’s head, I will not spare you."

Qing Tian scoffed at Su Chengyu, "Indeed, a disciple of Cang Qing, inheriting that protective nature. Unfortunately, you are not him. He could protect that little fatty from me, but you can do nothing."

"Shut up!"

Su Chengyu shouted in agitation, reaching for the Qing Tian Pillar again.

This time, instead of the burning heat, a jolting sensation shot through him, nearly rendering him unconscious in an instant.

"Monkey! Don’t overdo it. I said I need him alive."

Seeing Su Chengyu’s sorry state, the core of the giant tree couldn’t help but speak.

Qing Tian smiled slightly, "Primordial Master, rest assured. This is just a small lesson for him. I controlled the force; he won’t die inside."

Even as Su Chengyu’s consciousness began to blur from the electric shock, he still managed to ask.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"What do we want to do? Isn’t it obvious? Since Su Zhedian plans to use this land as a refuge for the Human Clan, ensuring that in the worst-case scenario, a bloodline remains. We naturally intend to cut off this possibility. That’s precisely why we can cooperate with the Primordial Core, which already doesn’t want to accept outsiders."

Qing Tian grinned, his monkey face hauntingly sinister as he looked at Su Chengyu, baring his fangs.

"To seek survival, your willingness to lower your status truly surprised me. But unfortunately, from the start, you were destined not to succeed. Moreover, you overlooked one crucial fact: your existence is the ultimate goal of the Primordial."

Su Chengyu tried to speak, but an extreme icy wind from another Qing Tian Pillar sealed his mouth and clouded his consciousness.

As Su Chengyu’s awareness was about to fade, he vaguely saw someone being thrown nearby and heard a voice that was almost inaudible.

"Qing Tian, are we just letting him go back like this?"

"Yes. We need someone to take back the events here. And after all... he’s Yang Chengyin’s son; even though he’s not here, keeping him alive means this favor must be returned eventually. Why not kill two birds with one stone?"
