Su Yu asked, "Did he say anything else?"

"Yes..." Bountiful Treasure said, "He said that he has grown even stronger. He also said that something was off about the drop of humanity's fortune after Hundred Battle King's defeat back then. The drop in fortune wasn't caused by the defeat. Rather, Hundred Battle had stolen part of the fortune for himself..."

Su Yu nodded, "I’m not surprised to hear that."

It was very likely that Hundred Battle King had stolen a part of humanity's fortune, resulting in the decline of Heavenly Overseer Marquis' fortune as well. That was why he had been so unlucky since the end of the ninth epoch.

"Anything else?"

"Yes." Bountiful Treasure nodded and said, "According to Heavenly Overseer Marquis, the stronger you are, the stronger he grows. But this works in reverse as well. This isn't a good thing because the two of you are now linked by fate."

Su Yu chuckled, "He is quite a sharp one."

Heavenly Overseer Marquis represented the ancient past, and Su Yu could be considered a successor of the ancient past. Meanwhile, Hundred Battle King had successfully severed his connection with the ancient past. It was only natural for matters of succession to change drastically in the blink of an eye.

However, the connection between Su Yu and Heavenly Overseer Marquis wasn't too strong. Su Yu was unbothered. "I see now. It's fine. The time for him to die has yet to arrive. I won't kill him anytime soon, and I doubt Hundred Battle is interested in doing that anytime soon either. We'll wait."

Hundred Battle King wouldn't kill Heavenly Overseer Marquis even if he knew what Heavenly Overseer Marquis was.

He had nothing to benefit from killing Heavenly Overseer Marquis. That might result in the appearance of a bunch of Masters of Laws in the Upper Realm. And how many Venerables did Hundred Battle King have under him?

Since he cultivated the physical body dao, Hundred Battle King would remain strong even without removing the final seal on him. It was likely that he would protect Heavenly Overseer Marquis instead. Things seemed rather complicated.

In short, the weaker party would need to protect Heavenly Overseer Marquis. Fortunately, the myriad races were still unaware of this secret. Otherwise, they would have descended in droves just to kill Heavenly Overseer Marquis.

As for Bountiful Treasure...

Su Yu didn't have much to say about him. He could only acknowledge that this guy was indeed quite lucky.

He was way too good at surviving.

"Let's enter."

The conversation ended there, and they started entering the Celestial Chasm Realm.

***

Celestial Chasm Realm.

The damage from the previous battle could still be seen throughout the realm.

But Su Yu was going to start working on this realm.

He would first sink this realm into the Death Realm before digging a hole in the River of Time. Done with that, he would proceed with his dao pioneering.

"Royal Consort Qi."

With one call from Su Yu, Qi Rong, who had just returned, rushed over.

Looking down from above, Su Yu said, "I intend to sink this realm into the Death Realm. Royal Consort Qi, I require your help to petrify this realm. It won't be an easy task."

Qi Rong nodded.

Su Yu called out another name. "General Grand Dream."

Moments later, Grand Dream arrived.

"Open up all the death tunnels under the ancient cities. Lend me a hand and connect the two realms."

"Yes!"

Grand Dream roared, "Ancient cities, open your tunnels!"

Boom!

At his order, all thirty-six death tunnels were opened. Death qi surged into the sky, filling the entire Celestial Chasm Realm.

Outside the realm, the power of laws started stirring.

Su Yu ignored the power of laws.

Instead, he focused in silence. A short while later, he opened his Heaven Gate and gazed upon a certain dao. That was the celestial chasm dao. His eyes lit up as he roared, "Fate Pseudo Emperor, assist me with the breaking of the celestial chasm dao!"

That was the way to sever the connection between this realm and the world of the living.

As Su Yu pointed at the sky, a golden projection appeared. Next, Fate Pseudo Emperor released his dao power, triggering a battle between the fate dao and the celestial chasm dao.

"Fat Ball, bite the connection between the celestial chasm dao and this realm! Sever the connection!"

"Awooo!"

With a howl, the projection of a dog appeared in the sky. The moment it appeared, it bit down on the celestial chasm dao. It shook intensely, seemingly unwilling to separate with this realm.

Su Yu shouted again, "South Heavenly King, Marquis Lanshan, cover it with the death spirit dao!"

At his order, death spirits emerged from the ancient cities. They started blocking the connection between the celestial chasm dao and the River of Time with death qi. Sinking an entire realm into the Death Realm was not an easy task, but it wasn't too difficult for Su Yu.

With the assistance of numerous experts, the celestial chasm dao started collapsing, while the Celestial Chasm Realm started shaking.

Boom!

Rumbling sounds rang out repeatedly.

***

Strands of power started seeping out of the Divine, Devil, and Immortal Realms.

Not long after, a realization dawned on them.

Immortal Realm.

With a heavy one, Tiangu lamented, "Su Yu. What a fine Su Yu."

To the side, a frowning Talisman King asked, "Lord, just what are they doing at the Celestial Chasm Realm?"

"Something big." Tiangu sighed and said, "Su Yu...will probably withdraw from the Myriad Realms soon. He is sinking the entire Celestial Chasm Realm into the Death Realm."

How bold.

Fully sinking an entire realm.

From now on, Celestial Chasm Realm would cease being a part of the Myriad Realms.

Talisman King was still confused. He said, "Did he really suffer a defeat? Is that why he's withdrawing? Lord, why don't we join hands with the divines and devils to stop him from fleeing?"

Tiangu glanced at Talisman King. What a fool.

"Return to your cultivation."

Tiangu didn't even feel like explaining.

Stopping him?

Why should they?

Were they tired of living?

Should they believe that Su Yu had suffered a defeat just because he said so?

It was likely that he had killed numerous people in the Upper Realm as well. Even if he had really suffered a major defeat up there, he was clearly still strong enough to not fear them. He wouldn't have bothered to carry out such a major operation openly otherwise.

If the three major races were to really try something, they would all die. Since Su Yu had decided to flee, he would no longer care about the opening of the Upper Realm. There was nothing holding him back from carrying out a mass slaughter anymore. He could very well exterminate the three major races before fleeing.

***

Boom!

Rumbling sounds spread throughout the Lower Realm.

The gigantic Celestial Chasm Realm continued sinking.

***

Inside the Celestial Chasm Realm.

The celestial chasm dao continued its struggle, stubbornly maintaining its connection with the realm. After some time, Su Yu started losing patience as he said, "Fat Ball, stomp it down!"

Boom!

At that, a large shoe appeared and descended upon that dao.

The celestial chasm dao reacted like a living being, hurriedly evading the shoe in fear.

Sensing the fear the dao was emanating, Su Yu chuckled. "It is likely that the master of this dao isn't dead."

That was the conclusion he reached.

Nevertheless, the dao in the sky was not the main body of the celestial chasm dao. Rather, it was a connection between the dao and the Celestial Chasm Realm. After evading Culture King's shoe several times, it finally failed, allowing the shoe to step on it.

Here, Fat Ball was slightly suppressed, but the same suppression did not apply to the shoe. Finally, the dao started fading. At the same time, the suppressive force in the realm started weakening.

Since the celestial chasm dao itself was retreating, its influence on the realm would naturally fade away.

Boom!

With yet another rumble, even more death qi surged out of the thirty-six death tunnels. As the realm continued sinking, it shook intensely, as though the world was ending.

More and more death qi filled the realm. Su Yu was not worried about that. This might not be a bad thing. The master of the death spirit dao had extracted almost the entirety of death qi from the Myriad Realms to pioneer their dao. Strictly speaking, the dao of the Myriad Realms was no longer complete.

Thus, the addition of some death qi wasn't a bad thing. After digging a hole to connect the River of Time with the Celestial Chasm Realm, the death qi in the air would mix with the powers from the river. At that time, the condition within the Celestial Chasm Realm might return to how things were before the death spirit dao was pioneered.

In short, the dao there would be more complete than before.

When Su Yu opened his Heaven Gate, he saw a gigantic death spirit dao outside the realm. The dao was seemingly trying to intrude upon the realm, assimilating it into a natural part of the Death Realm.

At that, Su Yu ordered, "Liu Hong, stop it. Swallow the power of the death spirit dao."

Liu Hong had just returned with Lan Tian. Hearing the order, he gnashed his teeth and roared. A burst of death qi erupted from his body as his dao manifested and started extracting the power of the death spirit dao, distracting it from the Celestial Chasm Realm. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Boom!

Meanwhile, the Celestial Chasm Realm continued sinking.

"Royal Consort Qi, seal every other leakage apart from the thirty-six tunnels. Do not allow any death qi to enter from any other places."

At that, Qi Rong flew out and started reinforcing the weak points of the realm with her petrification method.

While Qi Rong was working on the oher weak points, death qi continued surging into the Celestial Chasm Realm through the thirty-six tunnels. And in the sky, the celestial chasm dao finally faded away. With that, the remaining suppressive force of the realm vanished.

Boom!

A deafening rumble that could be heard throughout the Lower Realm rang out. Countless experts looked in the direction of the Celestial Chasm Realm. The nearest major realm was the Divine Realm, and numerous divine experts sent their willpower out to take a better look at what was happening. But shortly after, everyone withdrew their willpower due to the intense death qi around the Celestial Chasm Realm.

***

Celestial Chasm Realm.

This time, Su Yu and the others could clearly feel the entire world falling.

The sky above turned dark.

Next, another rumble rang out, followed by intense earthquakes everywhere. The realm had finally reached the bottom of the Death Realm.

Intense shockwaves spread throughout the Celestial Chasm Realm and the Death Realm.

At the entrance of the Luminous Domain Mansion in the Death Realm.

A figure appeared.

Martial Emperor stared into the distance. There, a massive sphere had fallen into the Death Realm as though it were a fallen star.

"Damn it!"

Martial Emperor cursed. Why did that lunatic sink the Celestial Chasm Realm for no reason?

Inside the Origin Land, North Heavenly King was also looking at the fallen realm. His expression changed drastically. Did an entire realm just fall into the Death Realm? Did Su Yu do that? Just what was that madman doing?

"We are truly living in chaotic times."

North Heavenly King sighed inwardly. He had a feeling that chaos would engulf the Death Realm soon. Sure, things had been chaotic for a while now, but he believed that the chaos would only intensify moving forward. There must be a reason for Su Yu to sink an entire realm into the Death Realm.

Beside him, a powerful Dragonblood Marquis said longingly, "In that case, we can secure a direct connection with the world of the living by taking over this fallen realm!"

What a big gift!

Dragonblood Marquis was feeling boundlessly excited. This was a good thing for him.

If he could take over that fallen realm, he would be able to freely traverse the worlds of the living and the dead.

***

At the same time.

Deep inside the Origin Land, the numerous pillars of light rippled as numerous faces gazed into the distance. All of them saw the massive fallen realm.

They were both surprised and shocked.

A fallen realm of the living in the world of the dead. Was this a good thing for them?

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu was filled with excitement. They had successfully carried out the first step of their plan!

"Seal the thirty-six tunnels!"

With his order, all the tunnels were sealed. Nevertheless, the Celestial Chasm Realm was already filled with death qi. It almost felt like the realm had turned into a pseudo Death Realm.

And next, Su Yu would need to dig a hole under the River of Time. He had to get that done before the death spirit dao could assimilate the Celestial Chasm Realm. Things would only get more difficult if he were to drag this out.

"Lan Tian!"

With a call from Su Yu, a weak Lan Tian appeared, followed by numerous balls of light. Then, Su Yu waved his hand, releasing all the Eternals and Daofuses in his book.

The rest were kept inside. The environment was still dangerous for them. There was still too much death qi in the air. In any case, those below the Eternal Realm wouldn't gain much from studying the myriad daos flowing through the hole under the River of Time.

Su Yu solemnly said, "I'll start digging the hole now. The moment it starts, numerous dao powers will start flowing into this world. Everyone, I'll be relying on all of you to order those daos properly and make this realm a suitable environment for all of us."

"Don't worry, Emperor Yu!"

Everyone agreed.

All of them looked excited. It was finally happening!

Su Yu wasted no time and left the Celestial Chasm Realm. At the moment, the entrance had yet to be sealed, and the Celestial Chasm Realm was still connected to the Myriad Realms. He only needed to dig somewhere near the celestial chasm tributary and he would be able to connect to the Celestial Chasm Realm.

After leaving the Celestial Chasm Realm, Su Yu tore a rift in the air and entered the River of Time. It was time for him to learn from his predecessors and steal from the River of Time. he couldn't help but wonder if the master of the River of Time was still alive. He would probably be infuriated to learn that so many people were stealing from his dao.

"Well, it’s not like I'm not the first thief ever..."

With that in mind, Su Yu felt zero guilt at what he was about to do. In fact, he was kind enough to dig only a small hole, unlike the previous thieves.
