Something massive had happened.


    Heavendoom City.


    With the appearance of three Sunmoon death spirits, almost every single living being who was still staying outdoors had died.


    Inside arge building. Mo Duona took out his shaking index copy. After taking a look, heughed.


    Su Yu!


    Killing the heavily injured Final Armor? Interesting. As someone who was unrivaled in the Cloudbreach Realm and below, it had been a very long time since hest met a match. Would Su Yu be his match?


    ***


    Inside a different building.


    Silver Armor was roaring madly.Beside him, Dao Cheng was staring at the index copy nkly. Two golden characters swirled at the tip of his finger. They were the Su and Yu characters, the final words written by Jiu Xuan with her own blood.


    Fury, indignance, despair...


    Dao Cheng could feel all the emotions Jiu Xuan felt during herst moments. He could clearly feel those emotions, as though he was there himself.


    He had been trying his best to protect Jiu Xuan. When his divination indicated that a great danger wasing, he had opted to move out without her. He even kept her beside a peak Mountainsea to ensure her safety.


    But she had still died.


    That garbage Final Armor had failed to protect Jiu Xuan.


    A peak Mountainsea.


    Piece of trash!


    Beside him, Silver Armor was still roaring. This piece of trash was probably still mourning Final Armor''s death. After looking at Su Yu and Su Yu''s new rank, heughed. It was a helplessugh.


    He stood up, stepped forth, and softly said, "Brother Silver Armor, my condolences."


    "Bastard! I''ll kill him!"


    Silver Armor roared furiously.


    Standing behind him, Dao Cheng softly said, "Yes. That will happen. I''ll kill him. But our current strength is not enough. I need more strength. Jiu Xuan is dead. You''re the only person capable of helping me, Brother Silver Armor..."


    "Hmm?"


    Silver Armor turned his head and asked, "How can I help? Do we attack Su Yu together?"


    Dao Cheng patted Silver Armor''s shoulder. Silver Armor felt quite ufortable due to the touch. At this time, he heard Dao Cheng''s voice, "It is too difficult for an expert to kill an existence like him. He will be able to somehow escape. Only someone with a simr level of strength might seed..."


    Silver Armor was getting impatient. Just what was this person getting at?


    "Thus...I am the only person that can kill him. You can''t..."


    "What—"


    Before Silver Armor could finish his words, his expression changed rapidly. His armor started cracking apart. He wanted to put up a fight, but his entire sea of willpower had been sliced into pieces. He lost the ability to even move anymore.


    With a sigh, Dao Cheng said, "I don''t want to do this...but I must kill him. Brother Silver Armor, as a sixth-stage Mountainsea, you might be able to generate a sufficient heavenly reward for me. My apologies. I really want to kill him. Please forgive me."


    Dark blood started spurting out of Silver Armor''s mouth as he said, "W-why k-kill...me? T-the m-mystic armor race w-will find out..."


    "Will they?"


    Dao Cheng said, "The index will only reveal that I killed a sixth-stage Mountainsea. Nobody is here to witness this. Nobody can be sure that I am your killer. Perhaps it''s the death spirits, right?"


    With augh, Dao Cheng fiddled with the two characters sent his way by Jiu Xuan and said, "Jiu Xuan is dead. The mystic armors arepletely useless. As a peak Mountainsea, he actually failed to protect Jiu Xuan. Is the mystic armor race filled with such garbage?"


    A furious glint flickered in Silver Armor''s eyes as he said, "Y-you''re...g-garbage as well!"


    Those were his final words.


    Dao Cheng indifferently said, "Yes. I''m garbage as well. Thus, I require more strength. Jiu Xuan is dead. Neither Immortal King Xuan He nor my grandpa will turn on the human race for the sake of Jiu Xuan. Without Invincibles, Sunmoons might not be enough to kill a child of destiny like Su Yu. The human Invincibles will not allow the myriad race Invincibles to kill Su Yu. Thus...I have no choice but to take this revenge myself."


    Dao Cheng sighed, "In all honesty, I was against this marriage. I have known Jiu Xuan for many years. She was very intelligent. She knew everything. But she pretended to be clueless in front of me. That was too foolish. She was unaware that I prefer to see her living innocently and happily, free of all schemes and the need to make any cruel decisions."


    Dao Cheng sighed again, "This trip out of the Immortal Realm was for the sake of entering the Mountainsea Realm. I was prepared to take her as my wife after my advancement. I wanted to leave, but you guys refused. What did the mystic armor lose? Only a few Mountainseas. How could some Mountainseas from a mere mystic armor racepare with her?"


    He showed no sadness. He shed no tears. He merely narrated expressionlessly. As though he was telling a story unrted to him.


    Jiu Xuan.


    Did he love Jiu Xuan? Perhaps. He did not know.


    But Jiu Xuan was already dead. He wanted to avenge her.


    As a Cloudbreach, he wouldn''t be able to do so. He had to reach the Mountainsea Realm.


    Here, Silver Armor became his sole listener. He was in no rush to end Silver Armor''s life. Slowly, he spoke, "Brother Silver Armor, how did Su Yu aplish that? What is the rtionship between him and the chaos among the death spirits? When did he leave his building?"


    "Jiu Xuan was a very cautious person. She also had a lot of trump cards. She must have fallen to Su Yu''s sneak attack during a crucial moment after she used her immortal king talisman. The talisman must have killed all the death spirits. She must have prepared a path to safety prior to the appearance of the ancient death spirits. But she still died. How did that happen?"


    Dao Cheng muttered, "Even Final Armor was killed. ording to the index, Final Armor was gravely injured when Su Yu killed him. Final Armor must have been injured by the ancient death spirits. And Su Yu...was definitely nearby to deal the final blow despite the presence of the ancient death spirits. Is he not scared of the death spirits?"


    Dao Cheng''s eyes flickered, "Yes. Perhaps he doesn''t fear the death spirits. Perhaps...he was the one who had killed all those death spirits to spawn more death spirits in the city."


    Dao Cheng continued muttering, "He might have been doing so in secret all along. He was why Final Armor and Jiu Xuan ended up in an encirclement of death spirits. They had been his target all along."


    "When the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion snatched me Armor''s corpse, they imed that Su Yu was the killer. They imed that Su Yu had performed the kill through a curse. Is it possible that he is a curse master? Did he kill all those death spirits with his curses?"


    Dao Cheng still couldn''t understand.


    At that point, the light in Silver Armor''s eyes was starting to fade away. Looking at Dao Cheng, he said, "Dao Cheng...y-you won''t seed...you w-will die."


    "Is that so?" Dao Chengughed, "People like you are here in the Allheaven Battlefield for survival. How about geniuses like us? Why did we leave the safety of our powerful families behind? Why did we abandon our lives of luxury? We''re only here to chase after the minuscule chance of eventually affirming our dao. Death? Is that really so scary for people like us?"


    "You and me. We''re not the same. People like me, Su Yu, or Mo Duona are not here for the same reason as the likes of you. You won''t understand us."


    Were they afraid of death?


    No.


    If they were, they wouldn''t have entered the Allheaven Battlefield. He could have stayed in the Immortal Realm and enjoyed life as a descendant of an immortal king. That would be afortable life.


    In fact, there were numerous immortal king descendants in the Immortal Realm. If he didn''t wish to leave, nobody would force him to leave. Once again, Dao Cheng sighed. Apanied by his sigh, Silver Armor broke into pieces while his sea of willpower dispersedpletely.


    A clump of cloud appeared.


    With his eyes shut, Dao Cheng absorbed the reward while muttering, "Su Yu..."


    He would take his revenge.


    Immortal King Xuan He would probably note anymore. Jiu Xuan was already dead. Alive, she was worth some effort from him. Dead, she was worthless to him. This was how the myriad races behaved. Even a freakish genius like Ye Batian had also turned worthless to humanity after his death.


    Dao Cheng''s rank on the index increased. As a ninth-stage Cloudbreach, he had killed a sixth-stage Mountainsea. He rose to the second rank of the Earth Index.


    He surpassed Huang Teng, but still below Qin Fang. Huang Teng past aplishment remained the same: killing a second-stage Mountainsea as a fifth-stage Cloudbreach. As for Qin Fang, he had killed a third-stage Mountainsea as a sixth-stage Cloudbreach. His aplishments didn''t seem as impressive, but he still reigned above Dao Cheng.


    But Dao Cheng wasn''t too bothered about his rank. The index had merely assigned him a lower rank because it believed Qin Fang had a higher chance to reach dao affirmationpared to him.


    In fact, one could view the Heavenly Hunt Index as a list of dao affirmation hopefuls. Entering the index merely indicated that one had the talent to seed, but nine out of ten would probably die before even reaching that point.


    Dao Cheng was in the process of breaking through into the Mountainsea Realm. He might not be able to kill Su Yu without being a Mountainsea. Right after entering the Mountainsea Realm, he would be as strong as a regr seventh-stage Mountainsea. Perhaps that would also push him above Qin Fang.


    ***


    The mystic armor race had lost all their forces in Heavendoom City.


    Some people were staring at their index copies withplicated expressions. Sixth-stage Mountainsea. A lot of people could guess who that Mountainsea was. Perhaps those outside the city might still be confused, but those inside the city wouldn''t.


    In this situation, who could Dao Cheng kill in the city? Silver Armor was the sole answer.


    How decisive.


    And cold.


    But those with index copies in hand were no ordinary individuals either. They weren''t too surprised to see that. These index geniuses were all decisive and ruthless individuals. If they were in the same position, they might also do the same.


    Su Yu had definitely obtained a massive heavenly reward after killing Final Armor. Would he spare Dao Cheng?


    Nope.


    Nor would Dao Cheng spare Su Yu.


    At this point, the grudge between the two could only end with death. Thus, none of them would give up on any chance to gain more strength and kill the other party.
