Chapter 1615 Slaying the Lord of Shadow Prison
With a wave of his hand, Song Yu unleashed a massive surge of energy that began to converge.
"Everyone, cultivate diligently!"
Song Yu still frowned, feeling no sense of security; the gap between them was simply too vast.
"Evil Emperor, isn't a million years too short?"
Song Yu had absolutely no confidence, after all, a million years was a long time...
Ultimately, it's still too little.
If they come...
"At present, there are probably only two options."
The Evil Emperor slowly opened his eyes. He looked up at Song Yu and said very seriously, "First, you must break through to the Dao Realm as soon as possible. As your cultivation improves, the Peerless Universe will also improve accordingly. Also, before that, completely eliminate the Lord of Shadow Prison, but you must not let the Heavenly Dao Lord find out!"
"Otherwise, he might attack you!"
"Secondly, we tried our best to win over the local lords and the human lords, but the hope was slim."
"But don't worry, when things get really desperate, I will break through to the Dao Realm to help you."
"Also, Demon Emperor, you need to hurry up and break through to the Dao Realm. Half-step Dao Realm is ultimately not enough."
The Demon Emperor nodded in agreement, then a serious expression appeared on his face.
"The Lord of Shadow Prison occupies both the Light and Dark universes, with a deep foundation and his own cultivation has already reached the peak of the half-step Dao Realm. It will not be easy to eliminate him."
Song Yu spoke slowly, his fingertips tracing the void, and two faint streaks of light appeared, corresponding to the outlines of the two universes of light and darkness respectively. "What's more troublesome is that the Heavenly Dao Lord is also eyeing him covetously. If we make a move, the slightest movement may be noticed by the Heavenly Dao Lord. At that time, he may reap the benefits, or even directly attack us."
Song Yu flicked his fingertips, and two streaks of light in the void trembled slightly. The brilliance of the bright universe and the somberness of the dark universe intertwined, both exuding a heart-palpitating oppression. "I will go alone and kill the Lord of Shadow Prison as quickly as possible to obtain the energy within him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Evil Emperor suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes flashing with a sinister light, and his tone was somewhat solemn: "No! The Lord of Shadow Prison is already at the peak of the half-step Dao Realm and controls two universes. Although you are powerful, you have less than a 50% chance of winning if you fight alone. If you are not careful, you will be in danger."
The Demon Emperor quickly echoed, his demonic energy surging slightly, filled with worry: "Human Emperor, the Evil Emperor is absolutely right."
Song Yu slowly shook his head, golden Daoist energy quietly flowing around him, and a calm and firm aura spread out, suppressing the two's concerns: "A million years is a tight timeframe, and we don't have extra time to refine a foolproof plan."
"After I leave, the Peerless Universe will be guarded by the two of you!"
The Evil Emperor wanted to persuade him further, but seeing no hesitation in Song Yu's eyes, he knew that Song Yu's mind was made up, so he could only honestly reply, "Your Majesty, please be careful. If things cannot be accomplished, retreat immediately and we will make other plans."
The Demon Emperor clenched his fists and said solemnly, "I will do my best to break through to the Dao Realm during this period, while keeping a close eye on the movements of the Heavenly Dao Lord. If he does anything unusual, I will definitely send you a message immediately."
Song Yu nodded slightly, said no more, and the golden Dao aura around his body suddenly subsided. His figure transformed into an extreme stream of light and quietly merged into the void rift.
……
Within the chaotic void, spacetime was distorted, laws were disordered, and countless fragments of shattered stars floated and sank, radiating a deadly pressure.
Song Yu moved through the currents, his body condensing into a thin cocoon of Daoist energy to shield him from the erosion of the turbulent currents, his gaze always fixed on the direction of the bright universe!
Several days later, Song Yu quietly arrived at the edge of the Bright Universe.
At this moment, this universe was deathly silent. A pitch-black fog shrouded the heavens and the earth, impenetrable even to light. The air was filled with a dense, malevolent aura, and the power of laws was twisted and distorted. Countless dark creatures darted through the fog, all of them extremely ferocious.
Song Yu concealed all his aura and transformed into a barely perceptible stream of light, flying away!
Deep within the bright universe, the black mist grew increasingly thick, and the evil energy between heaven and earth almost solidified, even staining the void dark and without light.
Song Yu stealthily made his way through, avoiding the dark creatures patrolling the route, his divine sense quietly spreading out.
In the Western Universe, atop Mount Ling!
A certain grand hall!
Concealed in the shadows outside the palace, Song Yu condensed a wisp of golden Daoist energy at his fingertips and quietly probed towards the first restriction.
The moment the Daoist essence touched the runes, the restriction was instantly activated, and countless black and white light spots surged, transforming into sharp blades that slashed towards the Daoist essence.
Song Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a light flick of his fingertips, the golden Daoist aura suddenly split into fine threads of light, quietly seeping through the gaps in the runes.
After a short while, Song Yu's Daoist aura suddenly subsided, and his figure transformed into a wisp of breeze, slipping into the restriction through the gaps in the runes.
The first barrier remained completely still, operating smoothly as if no one had ever intruded.
……
Without further hesitation, Song Yu unleashed a burst of golden Daoist energy, his figure flashing into the main hall like lightning. He raised his hand and conjured a golden longsword, its blade gleaming with unparalleled sharpness, aiming straight for the Shadow Prison Lord's heart.
The golden sword light ripped through the void, carrying a sharp sound as it tore through the laws of nature, and instantly arrived in front of the Lord of Shadow Prison.
"Who!" The Lord of Shadow Prison suddenly sensed danger, opened his eyes abruptly, a hint of shock and anger flashing in them. In haste, he activated the dark source to condense a black shield in front of him.
With a loud "bang," the sword light struck the black shield, shattering it instantly. The golden sword energy, undiminished in its momentum, grazed the Shadow Prison Lord's shoulder, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound from which black blood gushed.
"Song Yu? I never expected you to dare to venture into my Bright Universe alone!" The Lord of Shadow Prison saw who it was and his eyes were filled with disbelief. Then, a surge of rage rose up, and the black and white energy around him surged wildly. The aura of the peak of the half-step Dao Realm was completely unleashed.
"I never expected you to come looking for me yourself!"
The Lord of Shadow Prison raised his hand and waved it, and countless black and white runes intertwined into a net, enveloping Song Yu.
Wherever the rune network passed, laws shattered, and the void collapsed, carrying a world-destroying power.
Song Yu remained calm, stepping out with Daoist footwork, his figure instantly flashing back several feet, avoiding the cover of the rune net. At the same time, his golden longsword swept horizontally, unleashing a dazzling sword aura that collided with the rune net, the booming sound shaking the entire hall to the point of collapse.
"When exactly did you break through to the Dao Realm?" The Lord of Shadow Prison was both surprised and furious.
He channeled his full cultivation power, condensing black and white energy into a giant axe, which he slashed at the golden sword energy, attempting to tear open a gap.
However, the golden sword energy continued unabated. As soon as one sword was cleaved away by the axe blade, the next one arrived in front of him. In just a few breaths, the Lord of Shadow Prison had several wounds on his body, and his aura became increasingly weak.
The Lord of Shadow Prison suddenly spat out a mouthful of black essence blood. The essence blood landed in the black and white air currents, causing the air currents to surge instantly and his aura to rise sharply. "Today, I will fight with all my might to kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black and white energy around the Lord of Shadow Prison exploded completely, the roof of the palace collapsed instantly, and the primal power of the Bright Universe surged into his body. His figure rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant shadow tens of thousands of feet tall, and he raised his hand to strike down at Song Yu.
The moment the giant palm struck, the heavens and earth trembled, countless dark creatures turned to ashes under the pressure, the void collapsed layer by layer, and even the laws of nature nearly solidified.
A glint flashed in Song Yu's eyes, and golden Dao aura erupted from his body. Countless law runes flowed around him, condensing into a huge phantom of a human emperor.
The phantom held a golden longsword, pointing it towards the sky. Endless Daoist power gathered on the blade, transforming into a golden light that pierced through heaven and earth, and struck at the giant palm.
"Boom——"
A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Bright Universe. The golden sword light collided with the black and white giant palm. The two powerful forces crushed each other, and countless energy shockwaves swept outwards. Large swathes of stars shattered in the shockwaves, and the black mist was completely torn apart, revealing the remaining brilliant starry sky of the Bright Universe.
The Shadow Prison Lord's colossal shadow trembled violently, the black and white energy dissipated rapidly, and he let out a shrill scream. His body shrank instantly, shrinking from tens of thousands of feet to its original size, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood, his aura plummeting.
Song Yu was also forced back several steps by the aftershock of the force, his blood surging, but he did not stop at all. In a flash, he rushed in front of the Shadow Prison Master again, his golden longsword piercing straight for his brow.
The Lord of Shadow Prison's pupils shrank, his eyes filled with despair. He tried to raise his hand to defend himself, but he was powerless and could only watch helplessly as the sword light approached.
"No! If you do this, the Heavenly Dao Lord will definitely notice. He will absolutely not allow anyone who is only half a Dao Realm cultivator to exist!" The Shadow Prison Lord roared, trying to intimidate Song Yu by invoking the Heavenly Dao Lord. But before he could finish speaking, the golden sword light pierced through his brow, and the power of the Dao on the blade instantly surged into his body, completely crushing his soul!
The Lord of Shadow Prison froze on the spot, the light in his eyes quickly dissipated, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud. His body gradually turned into ashes, leaving only a ball of black and white light floating in the air.
Song Yu raised his hand and grabbed the ball of light, which fell into his palm. The power was pure and profound, and it was warm to the touch, flowing into his body through his palm.
Just then, Song Yu's heart tightened suddenly. His divine sense detected a faint probing power coming from the depths of the void. It was fleeting, but carried a familiar, cold aura.
"Master of Heaven?"
Song Yu's eyes narrowed, realizing that killing the Shadow Prison Master had made too much noise and had ultimately been noticed. He dared not delay for a moment, quickly concealing his aura and firmly imprisoning the ball of light. His figure transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the outer edge of the Bright Universe.
Deep within the void, a figure in white robes quietly emerged; it was none other than the Lord of Heavenly Dao.
He stared in the direction of the bright universe, a cold glint in his eyes: "Song Yu, you are still alive!"
He raised his hand and sent a wisp of white Dao power probing into the bright universe, but only managed to capture the remaining golden Dao charm; Song Yu had already vanished without a trace.
"Unfortunately, it was too late."
The Heavenly Dao Master's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Well, it's all good. With the Shadow Prison Master's power, you're just around the corner from completely breaking through to the Dao Realm. Perfect, I'll send you to deal with those people from the Annihilation Realm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Heavenly Dao Lord quietly disappeared, once again vanishing into the void.
Song Yu sped along, using the shattered stars of the Bright Universe to conceal his aura, and soon arrived at the edge of the universe, merging into the void turbulence.
