Chapter 968: Go Talk to My Supreme Truth Legacy
Just as Zhu Yan was live-streaming the house raid, Zhang Yu descended, and the two sides engaged in a head-on physical body melee, the viewers who had been watching the raid also grew increasingly excited.
Especially the viewers watching Zhu Yan’s live stream, who were predominantly monsterfolk, particularly monsterfolk from the Celestial Monster Sect.
They had watched all along as Zhu Yan slaughtered his way through the Myriad Laws Sect, using his Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivation to counterattack numerous Void Refinement experts, beating the human race cultivators of the Myriad Laws Sect into steady retreat while collecting a large amount of Supreme Truth’s legacy, causing many monsterfolk to cry out in deep satisfaction.
“Resist human race discrimination! The human race cultivators of the Myriad Laws Sect should learn to respect monsterfolk, otherwise, let the monsterfolk shock Myriad Laws once again and show them true monsterfolk power…”
“Another great victory belonging to the monsterfolk! The performance of us monster cultivators is simply stronger than human cultivators. We are destined to eliminate the human race and become the Immortal Emperors’ most useful tools!”
“The human race is still clinging to their past glory, unaware that they are already a backward, inferior race. The Racial Hierarchy Law Edict should be spread to all of the Ten Great Sects!”
Nowadays within the Celestial Monster Sect, resisting human race oppression, replacing the human race with superior performance, and the idea that monsterfolk were superior to the human race… these had always been the mainstream ideology and Immortal-political correctness, supporting a massive amount of Law Edicts, and even a Dao Lineage, within the Celestial Monster Sect.
The various propaganda and public opinion controls within the Celestial Monster Sect were born from this.
According to the Celestial Monster Sect’s propaganda and the perception of countless monsterfolk within it, the Celestial Monster Sect was the most influential among the Ten Great Sects. It possessed the largest population, the highest reproduction rate, and a massive potential consumer and monster talent market. It was a crucial faction that the Heavenly Demon Sect, Myriad Laws Sect, Netherworld Palace, and Vajra Sect all sought to win over, and a super potential stock that would challenge for the title of the number one sect in the future.
In particular, since monsterfolk were originally created by the Immortal Class, the Celestial Monster Sect’s propaganda stated that… all monsterfolk could be considered Immortal Descendants.
As for the reporting on this incident, in countless Celestial Monster Sect news outlets, it was a massive victory for the sect, with the Celestial Monster Immortal Emperor leading the other Immortal Emperors to suppress Supreme Truth.
As for Zhu Yan’s actions, they were considered a prime example of an Outer Sect monsterfolk bathing in the King’s Transformation and longing for his Celestial Monsters home. Attracted by the Celestial Monster Sect’s Immortal Dao Potential and its superiority as a sect, he abandoned the darkness for the light, bringing his skills and a significant portion of Supreme Truth’s legacy to the Celestial Monster Sect.
When Zhang Yu descended, the monsterfolk audience thought he would be easily defeated by Zhu Yan, just like the previous Void Refinement cultivators.
However, they did not expect that in their head-on clash, Zhang Yu not only held his ground but even gradually gained the upper hand.
“Profound Monarch Zhu! Stop playing around! Hurry up and suppress this lowly commoner; continuing to search for the Supreme Truth’s legacy is what’s important!”
At first, the audience thought Zhu Yan was deliberately holding back. After all, how could a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator fail to take down a Void Refinement cultivator in a head-on clash…?
This simply defied the common sense of the Immortal Dao.
But following that shout of “little beast”, watching Zhu Yan’s pig head actually get grabbed by Zhang Yu, the numerous monsterfolk spectators were all greatly shocked.
“What is Zhu Yan doing?”
“Did he lose the strength to even hit someone after going bankrupt?”
“The monsterfolk of the Myriad Laws Sect are just trash!”
At the same time, hearing Zhang Yu actually call him a little beast, a burst of rage rose from the bottom of Zhu Yan’s heart.
And as his head was fiercely gripped by Zhang Yu, Zhu Yan felt waves of terrifying heat pouring out from the other party’s palm, pressing down like the collapsing of heaven and earth.
Roar!
With an angry shout, Zhu Yan fought back. The vital energy within his body surged, his berserk physical strength completely erupted, and layers of fierce light shot out from his eyes.
Amidst a series of explosive bangs, Zhu Yan violently blasted punch after punch at Zhang Yu.
Explosive power continuously detonated inside and outside Zhang Yu’s body, but the effect was minimal. Even his newly ruptured skin naturally writhed and healed under the circulation of Zhang Yu’s cultivation art.
Zhu Yan could feel that not only had his opponent’s strength not diminished in the slightest after fighting him to this point, but he also gave off the feeling of growing tougher and more unkillable as the battle dragged on.
Coupled with his continuous self-healing, Zhang Yu was unexpectedly more adept at head-on physical combat than a Tribulation Transcendence Realm monsterfolk like him, impressively gaining the upper hand.
Zhu Yan continued to unleash a flurry of punches and kicks, striking out at Zhang Yu like a storm.
Under this barrage of attacks, spatial distortion occurred in an instant, while spiritual energy, immortal aura, and the atmosphere constantly surged and exploded, as if a cluster of suns had been ignited in a flash.
Yet, in the face of Zhu Yan’s fierce offensive, Zhang Yu remained completely unmoving. The large hand gripping Zhu Yan’s head only squeezed tighter, continuously pouring out surging Blazing Sun Magic Power, infusing every shred of Zhu Yan’s flesh and blood like erupting underground magma.
Realizing that his violent resistance was utterly ineffective, Zhu Yan fell into deep shock.
“Why?!”
“Why is it that he is clearly only in the Void Refinement Realm, yet can unleash such mighty power?”
“Why am I unable to overpower him in strength when I am clearly a cultivation realm higher than him?!”
In all the years since Zhu Yan stepped onto the path of immortality, he had known one ironclad rule: the gap between cultivation realms is absolute.
A cultivator of a lower cultivation realm could never engage in sustained, head-on confrontation when facing a cultivator of a higher realm.
However, Zhang Yu’s actions before him completely shattered his understanding of the Immortal Dao, causing tens of millions of thoughts to flash through his mind in an instant, yet he could never come up with an answer.
As the Blazing Sun Magic Power continued to pour in, Zhu Yan gradually sensed that something was wrong.
“My physical body… is aging at an accelerated rate?”
“This guy’s magic power can deduct my lifespan?!!”
The moment he realized this, Zhu Yan was startled.
Naturally, he did not know that Zhang Yu’s Blazing Sun Meridian could reduce lifespan after injecting magic power into another person’s body. But this did not prevent Zhu Yan from feeling a sense of shock in his heart upon sensing the decrease in his own lifespan.
The remaining lifespan of the physical body was like the record of the service life of a magical artifact or Bionic.
It could be said that the amount of remaining lifespan was an important factor affecting the valuation of the physical body.
At this moment, when Zhu Yan was almost bankrupt, every decrease in lifespan and the corresponding drop in the physical body’s valuation had a significant impact on him.
He felt as if he were watching his assets constantly depreciate, watching the numbers rapidly decline, and for a moment, he was both shocked and furious.
“Stop it!”
With a furious shout, Zhu Yan struggled violently once again, blasting out with both palms simultaneously in an attempt to break free from the hand Zhang Yu had clamped over his head.
At the same time, the magic power within Zhu Yan’s body surged out as he tried to expel all the Blazing Sun Magic Power that Zhang Yu was pouring into him.
And during this continuous struggle, Zhu Yan’s emotions went through a series of changes…
From a mixture of shock and anger, to disbelief, and then, upon seeing his rapidly decreasing lifespan and continuously plummeting valuation, he felt horror, fear, terror, and despair…
He was confident that his proud physical strength could easily crush any Void Refinement cultivator and even surpass human race cultivators of the same realm.
He believed that his most relied-upon Tribulation Transcendence Realm could suppress any opponent below Tribulation Transcendence.
But now, both of his greatest advantages had lost their effect in front of Zhang Yu.
If Zhang Yu had relied on tricks like the Ten-Billion Flying Sword or special Law Edicts, he wouldn’t have felt such despair and shock.
Zhu Yan never imagined that Zhang Yu would just stand there clutching his head, allowing Zhu Yan to bombard him relentlessly without suffering any damage at all.
He had even less expected that his opponent would not only repel his attacks with a Void Refinement Realm cultivation, but also erupt with a physical strength he could not resist. As the surging magic power swept over him, it directly began to deduct his lifespan, seizing his final assets.
At this moment, Zhu Yan felt as if he had truly become a pig, being slaughtered, bled, and butchered by Zhang Yu… His violent struggles were like cries of grief, completely unable to stop the other party’s actions.
Thus, he resorted to his final measure.
“I surrender!” Zhu Yan shouted. “I surrender! I plead guilty and accept the punishment! Stop hitting me!”
Seeing Zhu Yan’s desperate howling, the live stream room fell into absolute shock.
“Zhu Yan lost? He lost to a human race Void Refinement?”
“How is that possible? How could a Tribulation Transcendence lose to a Void Refinement? And a human race at that? Even when fighting with the physical body?”
“Zhang Yu can indeed fight Zhu Yan head-on, which means he has broken through to Tribulation Transcendence!”
“But looking at his profile, he is still at Void Refinement!”
“Illegal breakthrough! Report him!”
Countless monsterfolk simply refused to believe that a Void Refinement could defeat a Tribulation Transcendence head-on, let alone using a human race physical body to defeat a monster race physical body. At this moment, they all began to report Zhang Yu one after another.
In the distance, Venerable Serpent Lust saw this scene and abruptly opened his mouth wide: “Did Zhang Yu really do something stupid? Did he illegally break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm?”
Yu Xinghan, who was also watching the live broadcast, felt his heart sink: “Zhang Yu’s rank hasn’t changed, and he doesn’t have a Tribulation Certificate. He couldn’t have actually broken through to Tribulation Transcendence, could he?”
Regarding Zhang Yu’s possible breakthrough at this moment, Yu Xinghan was deeply worried.
Because he knew that an illegal breakthrough was an absolute red line among red lines within Kunxu, a target that all sects would strictly suppress.
The best example was Yun Taizhen, who had just been jointly suppressed by the Ten Immortal Emperors.
So what if she broke through to Immortal Emperor? If it was illegal, she would still be put down.
In this era, the Ten Great Sects’ management of cultivation realms was unprecedentedly strict.
And after receiving a massive amount of reports, streams of divine light descended upon the scene. Impressively, a Righteous God had come in person for law forcement.
Seeing this scene, Yu Xinghan was also secretly alarmed.
“Ever since the Supreme Truth’s legacy erupted, so many Righteous Gods have withdrawn. No god intervened in the intense fight just now, but now that it involves an illegal breakthrough, a Righteous God is immediately dispatched here?”
Seeing so many reports, Zhang Yu did not offer any refutation, only repeating, “I listen to the Righteous Gods.”
Streaks of divine light surrounded Zhang Yu. Seeing this, Zhu Yan’s spirit jolted, a trace of hope rising in his heart: “That’s right, how could Zhang Yu possibly fight against me at the Void Refinement Realm? He must have broken through in secret, illegally stepping into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, in order to defeat me who is now nearly bankrupt…”
But the next moment, as the streaks of divine light swept across Zhang Yu’s body, the relevant notification was sent to everyone present and displayed in the livestream.
“No Tribulation Transcendence characteristics detected…”
“The party involved has remained in the Void Refinement Realm…”
“The relevant Law Edicts are continuously running, and no phenomenon of illegal breakthrough has been found. Please do not believe or spread rumors…”
Looking at this notification, Zhu Yan shouted, making a dying struggle, “Impossible! How could Void Refinement possibly go against my Tribulation Transcendence? This goes against common sense!”
However, Zhang Yu smiled faintly and said, “It is indeed against common sense. It was also when I was collecting Supreme Truth’s legacy that I unintentionally obtained the Immortal Dao technical achievements within it. Only then was I able to break the upper limit of Void Refinement and erupt with Tribulation Transcendence performance at the Void Refinement Realm…”
Zhang Yu’s words immediately caused a massive uproar in the livestream.
Although defeating a Tribulation Transcendence expert with a Void Refinement cultivation seemed utterly illogical, since it was verified by a Righteous God and backed by the operation of the relevant Law Edicts, the numerous viewers had no choice but to believe it… At this moment, Zhang Yu, who was holding Zhu Yan up with one hand, was truly at the Void Refinement Realm.
But a huge question still lingered in their minds: How exactly did Zhang Yu manage to do this?
Upon hearing about Supreme Truth’s legacy and the Immortal Dao technical achievements, everyone suddenly experienced a feeling of sudden realization.
If Yun Taizhen, who had assaulted the Immortal Emperor Realm, had some inheritance in her legacy that allowed a Void Refinement cultivator to fight against a Tribulation Transcendence expert, the whole matter seemed completely reasonable.
“Yun Taizhen assaulted the Immortal Emperor Realm after all. Does that mean Zhang Yu obtained an Immortal Emperor Legacy? One that allows him to fight a Tribulation Transcendence expert while only at Void Refinement?”
“Supreme Truth’s legacy, it belongs to our Celestial Monster Sect!”
“Is it even legal for Zhang Yu to do this? What right does he have to use the Immortal Dao achievements in Supreme Truth’s legacy?”
Shock, jealousy, envy… all kinds of discussions about Zhang Yu were ignited.
Meanwhile, Zhu Yan, who was at the scene, shuddered as he roared furiously in his heart, “How could Zhang Yu be the one to obtain such a good thing?!”
He then thought of his lifespan that had just been frantically reduced, and said to himself, “Could this also be a technique originating from the Supreme Truth’s legacy?”
Although furious in his heart, upon seeing Zhang Yu’s gaze looking over, Zhu Yan hurriedly said, “Dao Monarch Zhang, I have collected a large batch of the Supreme Truth’s legacy and have already inventoried it all for you. When would you like to come and inspect it?”
Zhang Yu looked at Zhu Yan in front of him, whose gaze was clear without the slightest hint of ferocity, and nodded, saying, “Right now.”
Meanwhile, on the other side, Venerable Serpent Lust saw this scene and suddenly flashed, darting outward.
He was seen landing next to a large pile of the Supreme Truth Legacy, shouting loudly, “Dao Monarch Zhang, over here, over here!”
Yu Xinghan, who was watching the live broadcast, took a deep breath: “To actually defeat a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator while only at Void Refinement? The Supreme Truth’s legacy? Could it be that Zhang Yu obtained the Immortal Emperor Legacy? I wonder how the higher-ups will handle this.”
Bei Wufeng was greatly overjoyed watching this scene and couldn’t help but jump for joy: “Dao Monarch Zhang suppressed the defecting pig monster, recovered the sect’s assets, and has made another great contribution to the Myriad Laws Sect!”
Meanwhile, Ban Jinchen, Si Shian, Yang Kaitai… and the other Void Refinement Cultivators of the Myriad Laws Sect who were hiding in the dark silently observing — whether they had been defeated by Zhu Yan or were wary of his strength — were all exceptionally shocked at this moment.
Ban Jinchen thought to himself, “It must be Supreme Truth’s Immortal Emperor Legacy! Could it have been intentionally hidden in the 16th layer, only to be coincidentally discovered by Zhang Yu?”
Si Shian secretly thought, “Dao Monarch Zhang is Grandpa Immortal Emperor’s man. I bet it was Grandpa Immortal Emperor who secretly guided him to obtain this Immortal Emperor Legacy.”
“If someone else had obtained it, they might have ended up being harvested. But Dao Monarch Zhang is about to push forward legal reforms within the sect, and this Supreme Truth Legacy will allow him to fight Tribulation Transcendence experts while only at the Void Refinement stage. It couldn’t have come at a better time!”
Si Shian couldn’t help but sigh with emotion inwardly, “Grandpa Immortal Emperor, could it be that you calculated everything that happened today? Even Zhu Yan seizing Supreme Truth’s legacy, only for it to be taken back by Zhang Yu — was this also within your calculations?”
“Grandpa Immortal Emperor, just how far can those eyes of yours see?”
Just as myriad thoughts swirled in the minds of the numerous cultivators, Ban Jinchen had already rushed forward, saying, “Minister Zhang, let me lend you a hand.”
Immediately after, Si Shian also rushed up: “Dao Monarch Zhang, the collection of Supreme Truth’s legacy on the 16th layer still needs you to take charge of the overall situation.”
Consequently, Zhang Yu began inventorying the Supreme Truth’s legacy collected by Zhu Yan while simultaneously directing Ban Jinchen, Si Shian, and his clone to collect Supreme Truth’s legacy together.
Relying on his profound background and formidable strength, the number of Void Refinement Cultivators gathering around Zhang Yu continued to increase.
He continuously presided over the Myriad Laws Sect’s affairs regarding the collection of Supreme Truth’s legacy on the 16th layer, quickly becoming the de facto controller.
“The entire process of collecting Supreme Truth’s legacy must be live-streamed from beginning to end, and personnel from three parties must be arranged to supervise each other…
“Make sure you keep clear records of the relevant accounts yourselves. A copy must be fully uploaded to the Righteous Gods to facilitate later verification. As long as I, Zhang Yu, am here, I will absolutely not tolerate any acts of favoritism, fraud, corruption, or perversion of the law…”
“All intelligent living beings within the legacy are to be temporarily detained, awaiting joint interrogation by the Righteous Gods…”
Zhang Yu continuously controlled his clones and sent down projections to categorize, individually verify, measure, and count Supreme Truth’s legacy, while maintaining full video recording and multi-person verification to prevent fraud.
Faced with the “expired medicinal pills” Ban Jinchen brought from Supreme Truth’s legacy, and the “scrapped magical artifacts” Si Shian found in it, Zhang Yu righteously declared, “You are insulting me!”
Zhang Yu knew that they were deliberately appraising the medicinal pills as expired and the magical artifacts as scrapped to facilitate their embezzlement.
“Let me tell you, Supreme Truth’s legacy has already been confiscated as sect-owned. It doesn’t belong to any cultivator; it solely belongs to the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor!”
“Even a single drop of blood from Supreme Truth’s legacy belongs to the Immortal Emperor. I will absolutely not allow anyone to line their own pockets.” Under Zhang Yu’s strict management, the process of collecting Supreme Truth’s legacy became increasingly formalized.
In truth, the numerous Void Refinement cultivators… they were not unfamiliar with this formal procedure, considering they had just confiscated Ying Xintian’s legacy in a similar manner a few years ago.
Now, under Zhang Yu’s supervision, everything returned to the formal procedure, and the cultivators could only sigh in pity in their hearts.
In front of a blood pool, Zhang Yu said indifferently, “This batch has been inspected, bring the next batch over.”
Yet, no one knew that the bloodline information within this blood pool had already been thoroughly absorbed by Zhang Yu.
This bloodline information, which could only be absorbed by the 【Emperor Creation Seed】, was difficult for outsiders to detect.
Moreover, even after being absorbed, it didn’t completely disappear; it simply became useless to Zhang Yu.
At the same time, a message sent by Old Gao popped up in front of Zhang Yu’s eyes.
Zhang Yu replied, “Teacher Gao, thank you for your hard work. Have you finished inspecting another Immortal Abode of Supreme Truth’s legacy? We just found a new Immortal Abode here, and we still need you to go inspect it.”
Every time Old Gao went in and out of the Immortal Abodes of Supreme Truth’s legacy, he also took the opportunity to acquire a large area of grafted public space, sending it into the Immortal Grotto-Heaven and silently contributing to the Immortal Grotto-Heaven.
Just like this, Zhang Yu continued to preside over the overall situation while silently absorbing the bloodline information.
And over the next few days, the area where he oversaw the confiscation operations… gradually expanded from the 16th layer to the 15th layer, 14th layer, and 13th layer… maintaining stable order within Myriad Laws’ districts.
Almost all of Supreme Truth’s legacy that could be gathered within the territory of the Myriad Laws Sect was completely collected by Zhang Yu and his people.
Among them, all the bloodline information he could find was also absorbed by him, and he was about two-thirds of the way away from upgrading the Emperor Creation Seed to level 9.
During this period, Zhang Yu’s side gradually calmed down, but in other sects, especially in the 17th layer and above, the fighting was in full swing and becoming more intense.
Trade among the sects also largely stalled, the financial market was wailing, and a devastating economic crisis seemed to be brewing.
Even the Law Establishment originally scheduled for May this year was directly suspended.
Various guesses, rumors, and hearsay also arose.
“If trade continues to be suspended, how long can the existing supplies of the various sects last?”
“The first to run out of magic power reserves must be the Celestial Monster Sect!”
“If this continues, there will be a Sect War…”
Various rumors about the struggles between Immortals and Immortal Venerables of various sects… were repeatedly banned but never stopped. From time to time, someone would say that Immortal XX suffered huge losses, Immortal Venerable XX fell into a disadvantage, or someone was facing a bankruptcy crisis.
Amidst this turbulent and panic-stricken situation, the fighting suddenly stopped.
All the Immortal Venerables and Immortals stopped fighting at the same time.
Then, the Ascension Realm cultivators and Tribulation Transcendence cultivators of the various sects, including those within the 17th to 20th layer areas, all restored normal order.
Immediately after, the Righteous Gods began to return, and various services and trade also resumed operation.
It was as if an invisible giant hand had gently swept across the various floors of Kunxu, not only terminating the increasingly fierce fighting but also restarting the gradually stalling Kunxu and restoring it to normal.
“It must be the ten Immortal Emperors, right?”
Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Although the Immortal Emperors have focused all their minds on how to refine the Supreme Immortal Artifact and seize control… as long as the matter of the Supreme Immortal Artifact stabilizes slightly, they will be able to free up their hands to stabilize the overall situation of Kunxu.”
Immortal Slayer commented, “In the end, as long as the ten Immortal Emperors are still around, even if Kunxu is fought to a heavenly collapse and earth shattering state, they can instantly terminate the great war and let the entire social order return to normal.”
At the same time, as the sect order returned to normal, the receiving process for Supreme Truth’s legacy across the various sects and floors also gradually got on the right track.
After the documents and accounts submitted by Zhang Yu were verified, he was immediately commended and established as a role model for receiving Supreme Truth’s legacy.
As for the matter of Zhang Yu obtaining the Immortal Dao achievements from Supreme Truth’s legacy and defeating a Tribulation Transcendence expert with a Void Refinement cultivation, the Heavenly Surveillance Hall also announced that they had launched an investigation, ultimately stating that everything was legal, compliant, and without issue.
In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.
The once world-shaking Supreme Truth Legacy had now been carved up and digested by countless cultivators, fully integrating into the economic and production cycles of the entire Kunxu.
Over these two months, Zhang Yu continued to push forward with the freezing of Law Edicts. He finally completely finished freezing all 17 Law Edicts of the first batch within the Myriad Laws District on the 16th layer.
Inside the office.
Su Xianchen looked at Zhang Yu in front of him and said, “The higher-ups are very satisfied with your performance this time. Next year, you will be promoted another rank and obtain a Tribulation Certificate.”
“Furthermore, for the law establishment training next May, you can be given two quotas for you to recommend.”
“Finally… it is about the matter of bestowing the Book.”
