Chapter 727: Chapter 394: Reunion with Yusheng, the Might of the Immortal Slaying Sword
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
The muffled sound of drums resounded far throughout the sea, and the Qi and Blood of millions of water forces boiled, brimming with killing intent.
As the Azure Dragon King constantly dispatched troops, the massive water army slowly dispersed, forming a gigantic three-dimensional battlefield encompassing the seabed, sea, and surface.
As the drumbeats gradually intensified, battalions of water forces led by numerous dragon offspring and aquatic race generals assumed battle formations and began to slowly advance.
"Kill!"
With a resounding battle cry, millions of water forces from both sides advanced together, clashing at a decisive moment.
In an instant, a massacre of millions erupted, and at that moment, Su Yu could faintly sense the Slaughter Law fluctuating.
At a time like this, those practicing the Slaughter Law would undoubtedly see a significant increase in their cultivation speed.
Su Yu stood with his hands behind his back atop the Eight Desolates Dragon Turtle, overlooking the battlefield. Qingchan, Ao Run, and the four Xuanyue women stood silently behind him, their faces unperturbed as they watched the vast battlefield ahead.
It was not yet time for him to act; the early stages were definitely the battles between the middle and lower ranks of both sides.
With his current level of power, his sole task was to wait until the situation became clear: either to intervene decisively when his side had the advantage, or to change the situation if his side was disadvantaged. And with a battlefield involving 360 billion water forces, it could take years of slaughter before he would need to intervene.
So he watched for a while before returning to continue his cultivation.
Returning to the palace on the back of the Eight Desolates Dragon Turtle, he opened the gate to the Chaos Realm to cultivate, not wasting the thousandfold time acceleration.
Of course, not everyone entered; one of the four Xuanyue women always remained outside to take turns on duty, preventing a sudden attack from the Sea Snake Race while he secluded himself inside.
In the Chaos Realm with thousandfold time acceleration, he was immersed in cultivation, almost unaware of the passage of time, until he had nearly forgotten about the war outside.
It wasn’t until six hundred years later, when the Star Master suddenly returned to report to him, that Su Yu snapped back to reality.
"You said you discovered a Primordial fragment beneath that sea region?"
Su Yu listened to the report, surprised.
"Are you sure it’s a Primordial fragment and not a Grotto Heaven or an extraterrestrial world filled with abundant Spiritual Qi?"
The Star Master replied earnestly:
"Even though I have not experienced the Primordial Era, I can still recognize the difference between innate and acquired."
"Interesting."
Su Yu acknowledged the Star Master’s judgment and continued to ask:
"Is the Primordial fragment large? Is it valuable?"
"Yes, the Primordial fragment is extremely vast, comparable to an Immortal Realm, and is not an ancient remnant but has been refined by a Great Divine Techniques practitioner into an independent realm, embedded into a supreme-grade spatial Spiritual Treasure."
"That large."
Su Yu grew interested, contemplating his urge to leave immediately, and said:
"Return to monitor them; prevent their escape. I will lead a water army there after defeating the Sea Snake Race here."
"Alright."
The Star Master nodded, prepared to leave but was stopped by Su Yu, who flipped his hand to retrieve the Immortal Slaying Sword and handed it to him:
"Take this sword to guard against unexpected incidents."
The Star Master took the Immortal Slaying Sword promptly and departed.
He did so to guard against unforeseen events, considering that the Primordial fragment was refined into a supreme-grade spatial Spiritual Treasure by a Great Divine Techniques practitioner, and who knows if that master is still around.
The Star Master had just ascended to Da Luo, and his Divine Techniques were still not comparable to those Taiyi Da Luo who attained enlightenment during the Primordial Era, but with the Immortal Slaying Sword in hand, most Taiyi Da Luo could do nothing to him.
Having seen off the Star Master, Su Yu continued his cultivation.
Time passed; without noticing, another thousand years went by, and outside only a year and a half had elapsed.
Occasionally, Su Yu went outside to observe, finding the battle outside fiercely heated, a complete mêlée, yet still without a winner.
The forces of both sides were too numerous, totaling 360 billion, even with hundreds of battles among billions, yet ultimately resulting in smaller scale skirmishes, one here, one there, totaling in the tens of thousands; commanders must constantly memorize all battlefield information and synthesize the entire situation to respond accordingly.
"Glad I didn’t ask for command; it’s too troublesome."
Su Yu couldn’t help but feel a chill, shaking his head before retreating into the Chaos Realm to continue cultivating.
Two months later, good news lifted Su Yu’s spirits.
Qingchan became pregnant.
After so many years of effort, having absorbed enough essence to fill an entire pond, finally, a change in quantity led to quality, resulting in a life.
Su Yu was overjoyed, holding her slender waist that showed no changes yet, pressing his ear against her abdomen to listen.
Qingchan patted his other cheek, both scolding and smiling:
"It’s just been conceived; there wouldn’t be any movement yet."
"I’m just happy."
Even though he already had three offspring, Su Yu was still incredibly happy at this moment, as this child was with Qingchan; by rights, he would be his legitimate heir.
At this time, Qingchan further said softly:
"Once matters here are settled and the child has grown a bit, we should visit Divine Land; the child can learn at my family’s place."
"Sure."
After Qingchan became pregnant, she no longer remained in the time-accelerated zone for cultivation; otherwise, under the thousandfold time acceleration, if he went out and returned a bit late, their son or daughter might already be hundreds of years old.
Ten months later, Qingchan’s belly remained flat, appearing as if she wasn’t pregnant.
But Su Yu remained patient; a descendant born from a Chaos Demon God would possess extraordinary talent, comparable to the innate sacred beings from the Primordial Era, and the gestation period was certainly different from common beings.
Two years later, everything was as usual.
Three years later, her belly was only slightly swollen, while the battle between the Dragon Race and the Sea Snake Race had reached a feverish pitch.
