The Demon Lord had already realized how serious the situation was.
The enemy only had one million demons, yet they were pressing hard against the castle army of several million. At this rate, his demon host would be wiped out!
He no longer hesitated. He charged out of the demon fortress and attacked those uncanny demons.
However, the moment he reached the battlefield,
a figure appeared out of thin air beside him.
Before he could react, a savage claw stroke had already aimed for his heart.
The Demon Lord's pupils contracted; his expression turned pale with shock.
But the situation changed too quickly.
He had no time to mount a major counter, and could only raise his claw to defend.
After fusing the power of eight million demon avatars, Su Yuan’s replica had already reached the strength of a Fifth-Rank Demon, comparable to that Demon Lord.And with equal cultivation, Su Yuan combining his law comprehension with a sneak strike—how could the Demon Lord withstand that?
In an instant, Su Yuan had seized the other’s heart and killed him!
The Demon Lord collapsed dead on the spot!
But a breath later, the Demon Lord trembled back to his feet and became yet another of Su Yuan’s Mind Incarnations.
“All demons, stop!” The Demon Lord’s body shouted.
The demons who were fighting immediately halted; seeing the enemy cease combat, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet many of them had witnessed the Demon Lord’s sudden death and resurrection, and terror had already climbed into their throats.
A fiend!
This was a true fiend!
Su Yuan was suddenly stunned.
A will descended out of nowhere around him and granted him a measure of abyssal authority!
Within this nearby territory, he would gain dominion over the land and a host of abilities—one of them being a combat boost. With the abyssal domain’s favor, he could exert double combat power.
“Abyss Will?”
Su Yuan watched the Abyss Will disappear and suddenly sensed a thread of thought being born out of nothing.
What made Su Yuan inhale sharply was that this thread of thought connected to the entire abyss!
This seemingly endless abyss extended a mental link straight to his true body!
Su Yuan’s main consciousness guided itself there, passing through countless spacetime barriers, arriving at the abyss’s deepest core. There, at the abyss’s center, an incomprehensibly vast will-body lay sleeping; only a small portion of its awareness at the surface remained active.
He felt a magnificent aura!
It was a terrifying presence akin to a supreme god!
This was a supreme god! An invincible existence of the Third Great Being realm!
He had seen a living one today!
He dared not act rashly. A Mind Incarnation without any power fluctuation now infiltrated the core of this titanic will-body.
The powerless Mind Incarnation did not attract the Abyss Will’s notice.
Su Yuan’s tense heart relaxed considerably.
At the same time, his mind sprang into activity.
Inside the Abyss Will, this Mind Incarnation would gain the Abyss Will’s perceptions and gradually become familiar with the abyss’s deepest mysteries.
Moreover, the derivative effect of his Great Being’s Form could finally be put to use.
[Mimicker]: You possess the supreme mimicry ability. Any existence you perceive may be mimicked—this includes divine arts, laws, spirit treasures, and all other means. When the strength gap between you and the mimicked target is large, mimicry effectiveness will be correspondingly reduced.
This was the derivative of the Great Being’s Form: able to imitate perceived existences. Previously, the entities he could sense were not high-level, so mimicry had little value, and sustaining mimicry was nearly impossible.
But now, an existence comparable to a supreme god stood before him, and because of the Mind Incarnation, he could continuously perceive the Abyss Will.
That meant he could mimic the Abyss Will’s myriad methods!
Including divine arts, laws, even rules!
“Abyss Will can erode and even devour Heavenly Dao wills, can consume all energies and law origins and convert them into its own power, can create lifeforms with tremendous potential, accelerate evolution, transform aptitude and enhance comprehension! It can control beings assimilated by abyssal power; those beings it creates are naturally bound to its control! It can create worlds, remake heaven and earth, reverse time, predict the future, teleport across space, build spatial conduits, remake life—countless powers.”
Su Yuan barely attempted a mimic and was deeply shaken by the Abyss Will’s might.
If measured by entries, the Abyss Will alone carried at least dozens of Eternal Entries, mastering numerous rules, powerful enough to reverse time and start over!
How could such an existence be killed?
Su Yuan could not imagine how to possibly slay the Abyss Will.
He had briefly entertained a small notion—if he killed the Abyss Will, he might take its place—but that was wishful thinking. He simply could not conceive how to eliminate the Abyss Will.
At his main body’s location, he tried to mimic one of the Abyss Will’s divine arts.
“Life Creation!”
An exquisitely mysterious rule fluctuation manifested before Su Yuan. The shifts in law, combined with some nearby stones, soon condensed into an egg of life, and immediately waves of life-signs emerged.
The life egg quickly shattered, and a stone man popped out. Upon birth, this stone life already possessed the strength comparable to the Void Refinement Realm, its eyes shining with high intelligence. The moment it saw Su Yuan it kowtowed:
“Pay respect to the lord!”
Su Yuan waved casually and sent the stone man away, letting it fend for itself.
Replaying the creation process in his mind, he perceived that colossal flows of law had been involved: life law, soul law, flesh-and-blood law, Five Elements law, wisdom law, time law, spatial law—countless laws entwined in a complexity beyond imagination to compose a life blueprint and generate a complete being with wisdom, soul, and flesh!
That had been fashioned from mere stones; using rare materials, the result would be far more astonishing.
Su Yuan snapped his fingers and Song Cai appeared before him out of thin air.
Song Cai immediately bowed upon seeing Su Yuan: “Greetings, Patriarch!”
Su Yuan inclined his head: “Today, I grant you an opportunity!”
Song Cai blinked in astonishment.
Su Yuan pointed a finger and a mysterious radiance enveloped Song Cai’s body.
In that instant, Song Cai’s form underwent earth-shattering change—his ordinary human frame transformed into a creature bearing bloodline power comparable to a divine beast; one could call it a superhuman.
Supported by this power, after the transformation completed, Song Cai’s innate aptitude had multiplied ten thousandfold. The main reason the amplification seemed so dramatic was Song Cai’s original baseline had been extremely poor.
Su Yuan frowned; in that light, the life-remodeling effect was mediocre and of little use to him.
Primarily because this was an imitation of the Abyss Will’s method, not the supreme god itself intervening. At his Great Luo realm, it could not meaningfully affect his own self that had been transformed countless times.
Song Cai felt the world-shaking change within himself and immediately began bowing repeatedly in gratitude.
“Thank you, Patriarch, for recreating me!”
“Mm.”
Su Yuan did not stop experimenting. He used another method of the Abyss Will to grant Song Cai power!
With Su Yuan’s finger guiding him, Song Cai—who previously could only access Golden Immortal power via the Heavenly Earth Divine Throne—suddenly found he had truly gained real power. In his mind, his comprehension of the Star Laws reached a new level; he seemed to genuinely grasp Golden Immortal-level strength and no longer needed the Divine Throne to manifest it.
Song Cai looked at Su Yuan in astonishment: “Patriarch, this is…”
Su Yuan waved his hand: “Train well. Your future is for you to walk; you can’t rely on me too much!”
“Disciple thanks the Patriarch!” Song Cai gave a deep bow.
In that moment, Song Cai felt he had undergone an unprecedented metamorphosis—aptitude enhanced, understanding skyrocketed—and felt that reaching Great Luo Golden Immortal in the future was no longer impossible.
“Go.”
Su Yuan waved and sent Song Cai away.
Though only a small demonstration, the Abyss Will’s strength already spoke volumes.
The greatest advantage of mimicry was learning the Abyss Will’s methods and converting them into his own true power!
That way, dependence would not form.
With that thought, Su Yuan found a secluded corner and began secluding himself to cultivate.
At this time, he already held thirty-two billion years of rest time in his hand.
He chose to activate it six times now, giving a continuous duration of three thousand years.
He decided to cultivate for three thousand years.
During that time he did not entirely cut off contact with the outside. By mimicking the Abyss Will’s method, he granted Seven Stars disciples the ability to grow stronger through slaughter; with this ability alone, his Seven Stars faction could rapidly expand.
And Su Yuan continued growth across three realm seas.
Especially in the Abyss Realm Sea, his demon avatars expanded without restraint.
At that moment,
outside the Celestial Court’s Jade Cold Palace,
Zhuyuan Great Emperor unexpectedly made a visit.
Su Yuan personally came out to receive him: “So it’s Zhuyuan Great Emperor visiting—sorry for the poor reception!”
Zhuyuan Great Emperor stood with hands behind his back and said calmly: “The Seven Stars Dao Sovereign’s stratagems are arcane. Even when sealed, your power can still exhibit divine arts. That piques my curiosity!”
Su Yuan laughed heartily: “This is only a small trick of mine, hardly worth mentioning!”
Zhuyuan Great Emperor said evenly: “I can make you an offer. I can let you go and grant you a heaven-defying opportunity. When you break through to the Primordial stage in the future, you will need to display an enlightenment divine art for me.”
Su Yuan raised an eyebrow: “The Emperor trusts my divine art that much?”
Zhuyuan Great Emperor replied: “I sense the Primordial energy in your divine art; it must influence the Primordial.”
Su Yuan neither agreed nor refused and asked: “What do you mean by opportunity, Your Majesty?”
“Do you know why the Immortal and Demon realms went to war?” Zhuyuan Great Emperor asked.
“Why?” Su Yuan realized there must be a secret inside this.
“At the boundary between the Immortal and Demon realms lies a Primordial Isle. Hidden upon it are Primordial inheritances, Hongmeng Purple Qi, Primordial treasures—astonishing opportunities. It can only open once every ten thousand years, and only cultivators below Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Primordial path may enter. Each time only one hundred and eight places are available. The Immortal and Demon realms fight to seize those places.”
Zhuyuan Great Emperor paused, then said, “I can decide to give you one of those places.”
