Su Tai's lips twitched slightly. In a flash, he realized exactly who Xu Yang was talking about!

This surprise is a bit too much to handle!

Yie Vajra blurted out instinctively, "Song Yuanhao?"

"Hiss!"

For a moment, everyone exchanged glances, the muscles on their faces twitching!

With such a terrifying Catastrophe Storm before them, when it erupts all at once, just how horrifying will that scene be?

"Song Yuanhao might not be simple, but if he faces this kind of attack, even his scalp will go numb!" Yie Vajra internally mourned for Song Yuanhao.

From his position, Song Yuanhao naturally had to die!

This was simply a super ultimate weapon!

And Su Tai instantly saw through Xu Yang's intentions; before, he'd thought it was to slowly refine and absorb it for cultivation.

Thinking about the impending battle on the third month, Su Tai couldn't help but laugh, "Your Highness, do you need me to subdue several even stronger Catastrophe Storms for you?"

Upon hearing this, Yie Vajra and the other two's eyes lit up.

With Mr. Su's help and Catastrophe Storms at the Realm of True Monarch, Song Yuanhao would have to suffer big time.

Xu Yang was taken aback, then frowned slightly.

"Though the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod can continually contain more, my strength isn't enough; if I store too much, I'll have to devote all my mental energy to unleash the cauldron's might and constantly maintain the suppression!"

Seeing Xu Yang lost in thought, Su Tai's eyes flashed as he spoke, "Your Highness, is it that this treasure's suppression of the storms still relies on your own power?"

"Precisely!" Xu Yang nodded slightly, sighing inwardly at how worthy Su Tai was of being a top-tier True Monarch—he saw through it instantly.

"That's not a big problem!"

Su Tai said, "I'll completely seal off the Catastrophe Storms, and Your Highness can simply place them in the tripod. The only drawback is that when you activate them to explode later, you'll lose all control and the range will be enormous; Your Highness should be careful!"

Hearing this, Xu Yang's eyes lit up, even as his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He could already imagine it: one wrong move and he'd be blown to death right then and there!

If Song Yuanhao had some dreadful trick up his sleeve, Xu Yang might not even reach him before getting himself killed!

But this… must be done!

Though it might get tricky at the time, there are ways to prepare!

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Su."

Xu Yang looked up and said.

Su Tai nodded slightly.

Then, under the excited gazes of Yie Vajra and the others, he took a single step and appeared midair above a Catastrophe Storm exuding the aura of the Realm of True Monarch, then casually reached down with one palm!

Boom!

The massive storm struggled violently, but under Su Tai's aged hand, it was like a loach waiting to be butchered on a chopping board—no matter how it squirmed, it could not escape his palm!

The terrifying storm, shrinking visibly at a speed seen by the naked eye, was finally kneaded casually into a light orb just a few meters across!

He tapped his fingers, laying down a seal!

In an instant, the surface of the light orb became utterly calm, plain and unremarkable!

This scene left everyone watching so shocked, they were speechless.

"So this is a top-tier True Monarch?"

"Hiss, that's just too terrifying."

"That storm was enough to chill me to the bone—I couldn't resist at all, but in Mr. Su's hand it's nothing but a toy!"

"When His Highness fights Song Yuanhao, I have to find the perfect spot to watch—just thinking about it, I can hardly wait." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

...

Xu Yang was also deeply shaken!

"Terrifying!"

"Even at my peak, I was no match for a single blow of his!"

Gu Jun murmured bitterly.

Hearing this, Xu Yang's expression firmed, then he smiled, "Master, once I make that pill for you, and you get your body back—there'll be plenty of time and chances for us to get stronger!"

Gu Jun was taken aback; he hadn't thought Xu Yang would comfort him.

Yet, recalling the coming restoration, much of the blow from witnessing Su Tai's power dissipated, even replaced by excitement and anticipation.

That's right—we still have a chance!

After lingering for a thousand years, once he regains a body, it will be a true rebirth!

The foundation of a body remade with a Tier Eight pill will far surpass anything he once had!

His potential will be even greater!

"Good, then I'll be waiting for you," Gu Jun laughed heartily.

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, a trace of yearning flickering deep within them!

Half an hour later.

Su Tai made his move twice.

The second time, he actually melted all six or seven Catastrophe Storms scattered around where Xu Yang previously triggered that rift.

Just two light orbs, but together they were comparable to four or five Catastrophe Storms at the True Monarch level!

"That should be enough."

Su Tai waved his hand, and both light orbs floated to the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod.

Xu Yang couldn't help swallowing nervously.

Even his spirit trembled with awe!

"Song Yuanhao, oh Song Yuanhao, you'd better not let me down!"

"If I can't even use these things, that would be a total waste of effort!"

Xu Yang muttered inwardly, then steeled himself, focusing the tripod to swallow both light orbs!

The void inside the divine cauldron churned chaotically.

Xu Yang quickly mustered all his will to maintain balance.

Fortunately, the disturbance soon subsided and peace returned, leaving only a ripple or two.

But if he tried to add two more, he probably couldn't contain it.

"But if I use the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod now, all my focus must go to suppressing them—alchemy would be impossible," Xu Yang worried quietly, but then thought of Gu Jun and Liou Yunfeng!

With one Pill Emperor and one soon-to-surpass-ordinary Dan King like Liou Yunfeng, they could make any pill required.

"Now, I'll make my move."

"What you see now is just the outer layer of the Catastrophe Storms—the inner layers hold even more terrifying existences, several times stronger, and merge seamlessly with the void outside the bubbles, endless and ever-growing."

"Don't act recklessly later. Stay quietly inside the barrier I set up for you!"

Su Tai turned to glance at Yie Vajra and the other two, then waved his hand to create a barrier.

Seeing how serious Su Tai was, the three of them nodded quickly!

"Your Highness, you are…" Su Tai looked to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang hesitated briefly, then said solemnly, "Please send me to the edge of the Heaven Prison. I intend to cultivate within!"

"Very well!"

Su Tai inclined his head slightly, whisking his sleeve.

Swoosh!

Xu Yang immediately felt his body tighten, the world spinning as stars shifted around him.

In an instant—it felt like barely a moment passed!

He found himself beneath endless Catastrophe Storms.

Xu Yang steadied himself and looked around.

Compared to above, this place seemed somewhat peaceful.

Yet everywhere, secret realms riddled with cracks crisscrossed the land, some shattered almost beyond recognition, their borders colliding and overlapping!

Some bred wild destruction, clashing and crashing endlessly!

Others melded into each other, seeking to become one!

He even saw certain exposed secret realms, where majestic mountains and vast rivers were slowly torn to powder beneath the storm's grip.

Though calmer, it was still terrifying!

And this was only the edge.

"Once Mr. Su stabilizes the area, these secret realms will recover, leaving only specially chosen Catastrophe Storms to corrode whatever powerful beings remain within."

"The Heaven Prison sigil will also be effective again!"

"But for my cultivation, I must experience the prison's bindings and shackles firsthand!"

Thus, he would forgo the sigil's unique power throughout this process!

It might prove dangerous, but there was no fear or hesitation in Xu Yang's eyes!

To him, the Heaven Prison was nothing less than a legendary trial!

To put it mildly, this was the greatest test he'd ever faced in his cultivation so far!

Beyond it, he would be reborn anew!

At that moment, thunderous booms roared from above—vast and mighty, earthshaking and deafening.

Rumble rumble rumble!!

Xu Yang's spirit trembled, snapping out of his musings—he swiftly looked up.
