Master of the Demon Emperor-Chapter 667: Mysterious Power [Third Update]
The pair of crimson eyes hidden in the dark forest had watched Su Yie and Sun Qitian for quite a while, and seizing a moment when Su Yie was distracted, they suddenly moved.
A creature with scattered blood-red fur and a humanoid shape sprang out.
He wore a dark purple battle armor on his upper body, and his lower half was a cloud of black smoke, devoid of legs. His face was gaunt, skin clinging to bone, and his eyes were blood-red like rubies.
His speed was incredibly fast, his body seemed like a phantom, piercing directly through the mountain. In the blink of an eye, he was behind Su Yie.
"Celestial Authority Demon Star! To die at my hands is your honor!"
Looking down on Su Yie, he sneered as he thought, his eagle-claw-like right hand chopping toward the back of Su Yie's neck.
"Get lost!"
Su Yie suddenly shouted, and the red-eyed man was struck as by lightning. His consciousness instantly fell into a daze.
It was the Demon Emperor's Divine Wrath!
Su Yie learned and copied it on the spot, and the effect was quite good.
He condensed a World-Ending Emperor Star behind him, which crashed into the chest of the red-eyed man and sent him flying.
With a loud bang!
Before the red-eyed man could recover, the World-Ending Emperor Star exploded, the intense light illuminating heaven and earth, and a huge mushroom cloud rose up. The ground shook violently as rocks burst forth.
Su Yie didn't open his eyes but continued to cultivate.
He could sense that the opponent's cultivation was still within the Realm of the Supreme Great Dao, only higher than his.
But even when he was in the Saint Realm, he dared to fight against the Supreme of the Great Dao. Now that he himself had become a Supreme of the Great Dao, why would he fear another of the same realm?
To put it immodestly, to his eyes, the Supremes of the Great Dao were as ants.
Having broken through to the first layer of the Realm of the Supreme Great Dao, Su Yie's mana soared, and even his physical strength increased dramatically.
By his estimate, he now possessed the power of five hundred saints!
This refers purely to physical strength.
In terms of mana and soul strength, a Supreme of the Great Dao is more than a hundred times stronger than a Heavenly Dao Saint, and as for saints, they can't even be mentioned in the same breath as a Supreme of the Great Dao.
Without exaggeration, a mere Divine Thought from a Supreme of the Great Dao could crush a saint!
The majority of beings place less importance on physical strength as their cultivation grows higher.
Mana comes first; if the physical body is destroyed, it can be condensed again, but if mana is depleted, the physical body can't swiftly regenerate mana.
At that moment.
A sound of breaking through the air approached.
The red-eyed man was not yet completely dead and was attacking Su Yie again.
Seated in meditation, Su Yie disappeared into thin air, causing the red-eyed man's heart to skip a beat.
Before he could even blink, Su Yie's foot was on his face. Relying on his formidable physical strength, he stomped the man into the ground, causing a shock that made the earth within ten thousand meters crumble, as if struck by an earthquake.
Amidst the rolling dust, Su Yie stood on the red-eyed man, immediately employing the Great Celestial Devouring Technique, immobilizing him and frantically absorbing his luck and mana.
In less than a moment, the red-eyed man's life force was drained.
The luck and mana absorbed by the Great Celestial Devouring Technique were not completely transferred into Su Yie's body; they had to be filtered first to extract the mana suitable for Su Yie.
Otherwise, how could he endure if different types of mana surged within his body?
Golden light burst forth from Su Yie's eyes, incinerating the red-eyed man's physical body to ash.
He returned to his original place and continued to protect Sun Qitian.
Sun Qitian was still within the Sea of Fire, his aura had already surpassed Su Yie's and was still skyrocketing.
Though the Sovereign of the Blazing Flames had a low presence in Emperor Su's Sect, it didn't mean he was weak.
Su Yie was not worried about how much Sun Qitian could improve; what mattered most was to eliminate Sun Qitian's Heart Demon.
In the following period, an incessant stream of Heavenly Prides came to pick fights, seven in total; four were slain by Su Yie, the remaining three had vast Divine Skills and managed to escape.
One month later.
Su Yie had absorbed the entire Creation Crystal, breaking through to the Realm of the Supreme Great Dao Secondfold Heaven.
This sensation of rapidly increasing strength did not cause him to lose himself.
The waiting process for Sun Qitian was not tedious, as he was learning from the legacies of his past two lives, which proved to be immensely beneficial.
He couldn't help recalling the perils created in his previous two lives, and the final trial crafted by Emperor Su, thinking often of Shi Er, who posed such a challenge.
He was always pondering how to defeat Shi Er.
It wasn't just Shi Er, Qin Tianyun also had a powerful enemy who was hidden in space and time, omnipresent yet as elusive as a dragon seen in glimpses. Su Yie hadn't even caught a clear glimpse of his opponent's face, only sensing his formidable strength.
Compared to Shi Er, he guessed the difference in their strengths wouldn't be much.
Of course, the main reason was that Su Yie had been instantly killed every time, making it impossible to gauge their actual strengths.
Su Yie believed that one day he would encounter an enemy that his past two lives could not overcome.
Aside from cultivation, Su Yie would often simulate battles with these formidable adversaries in his mind, constantly alerting himself.
The path to becoming the strongest was still very long.
On this day.
Li Huahun happened to pass by and encountered Su Yie.
He was still dressed in the Xue Yi, his black hair slightly disheveled, and between his eyebrows were several Blood Patterns fanning out, which seemed to twist slightly, almost as if they were alive.
The mere sight of him now easily conjured thoughts of an Evil Demon.
Heaven knows how many creatures this guy has killed.
His cultivation had reached the First Layer of the Realm of the Supreme Great Dao, rapidly catching up to Su Yie.
It seemed this lad was doing nothing but killing, besides eating and sleeping.
"Has his Divine Sect Upgrade not finished yet?"
Li Huahun sat down beside Su Yie and asked in a soft voice.
Su Yie nodded, then counter-asked, "With your penchant for killing, don't you have a Heart Demon?"
He felt sympathy for Sun Qitian.
In his memory, Sun Qitian was so full of spirit and invincible.
It was unthinkable that such a character would be afflicted with a Heart Demon.
As for Li Huahun, who bottled everything up and had suffered pain, seemed unchanged as always, which Su Yie found somewhat unsettling.
Li Huahun glanced at him and said, "I am my own Heart Demon."
"That's quite profound."

Su Yie smiled, recalling how previously Li Huahun was full of murderous aura, but restrained himself greatly upon encountering Su Yie, resulting in a sense of heaviness amidst his smile.
Living life is hard enough for oneself, let alone trying to change someone else's destiny.
"This time, the challenge of the Saintly Genius Game is not simple. Be cautious, and if you cannot win, admit defeat timely. Don't overexert yourself," Li Huahun cautioned suddenly, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.
Su Yie raised an eyebrow and asked, "What, is there someone you are afraid of?"
Li Huahun curled his lips and said, "I'm not afraid, but being less powerful than another is a fact."
"Is that so?" Su Yie said with a half-smile, not pressing further.
Whoever Li Huahun was referring to, in the end, they would face each other in battle.
Why should he know in advance?
Just then, the Sea of Fire ahead began to churn violently.
"Roar——"
A ferocious and savage roar that could split the skies suddenly erupted, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Even Su Yie and Li Huahun couldn't help but be moved.
An indescribable aura of malevolence spread out from the Sea of Fire, enveloping them.
The murder-loving Li Huahun was also shocked by this malevolence, frowning as he said, "What Heart Demon? This guy is clearly harboring some kind of terrifying power within him. The reason he's in such pain might be because this power is awakening."
Upon hearing this, Su Yie also frowned.
There had been such speculations within Emperor Su's Sect, but he had checked Sun Qitian before and found nothing unusual within him.
