Chapter 1046: Shining Even As A Living Dead! (1)

Grandstar City.

During his stroll in the city, Su Yu took note of all the buildings occupied by non-residents. He couldn't help but be impressed by his own kindness. He had actually sent Topsoil Spirit to a first ring building previously. Thanks to that, Topsoil Spirit had survived.

Clearly, that fellow was living well in that building. He was probably still unaware of what happened outside, living in his own beautiful world. After all, Su Yu had set up several voice-dampening barriers around that fellow. Those barriers were meant to prevent Topsoil Spirit from making any noise, but it had also given him peace of mind while an apocalyptic battle was ongoing outside.

When a Sunmoon death spirit passed by not far away, Su Yu waved at it. Alas, the death spirit ignored him. After thinking about it, Su Yu threw a punch at the death spirit.

“...”

The death spirit merely shot him a glance before moving the other way.

Holy shit!

Why leave?

Why wasn’t this fellow hitting back?

Su Yu was trying to lure that death spirit somewhere. Why was that fellow running away instead? He nearly coughed blood from his anger. He was planning to use these death spirits to open those occupied buildings and kill his enemies. But why were these death spirits not helping?

Would these death spirits only be happy if he started killing them again? He had been refraining from killing them because they were now his security guards. But...it would seem like these fellows were very masochistic, after all. They would only be happy if he treated them badly.

While gnashing his teeth, Su Yu threw another punch and blasted a Skysoar death spirit to death. Next, a Cloudbreach death spirit appeared. The death spirit stared at Su Yu blankly...before turning and leaving.

"..."

Su Yu's veins were throbbing. He was not concealing himself. He was not even using death qi. He had just killed a death spirit. Why weren't these death spirits attacking him? Why weren't they raging? Why were they ignoring him?

"Fuck!"

Su Yu cursed. What did this signify? He could no longer cause death spirits to go after him by killing one of them. How was he supposed to unlock these occupied buildings, then? No, wait...Since death spirits would still appear after he killed them, he could still increase the number of death spirits in the city. They would simply ignore him.

Su Yu frowned. Was this the case for the other residents as well?

Not really!

He remembered that the residents from the mystic armor race who were also serving as guards in Heavendoom City had accidentally killed some death spirits before. As a result, the other death spirits started attacking them. They were not immune to the hostility of the death spirits.

"What's going on? Is this because of that death sovereign?"

This was the only answer Su Yu could think of. Perhaps the weaker death spirits would no longer have the courage to lay a hand on him because of the person who had converted him. Perhaps...the aura of the death sovereign who had converted him was uniquely different.

Su Yu had some guesses. That was a sovereign. And that sovereign had probably left an imprint or its own aura on him. Because of that, the weaker death spirits would not dare to harm him.

Yes, this wasn't a bad thing. The death spirits would no longer retaliate when he killed one of them. But...he was never afraid of their retaliation.

Holy shit! If they went after him, he could lure a bunch of death spirits toward his enemy. But since they weren't going after him anymore, that plan was no longer feasible.

"I'll spend two days in cultivation. After that, I can start killing death spirits and keep the city sealed. I don't even need to attack them myself to get all of them killed."

In reality, he wouldn't be a match to those late-stage Sunmoons even if he was able to somehow open their doors. But there was no need for such trouble. He simply needed to wait and they would die.

Of course, these people would definitely leave their buildings toward the end when they were reaching their limits. But so what? Could they kill Su Yu just by coming outdoors? They couldn't even do so before this. How could they do so now?

What could they do when he hid among the death spirits? Their only option was to kill even more death spirits and create a chaos so massive even he would die along side them...Yeah, that was possible. Fine. He decided to hide indoors if they started coming outdoors. They wouldn't be able to get through the doors of the inner ring buildings.

After making a decision, Su Yu acted immediately. For now, the ancient city was the safest place for him. Thus, he had to keep staying here.

First, he would cultivate and forge his body. Then, he could come out and kill some death spirits. These people were expecting the city to be unsealed. When they realized that that wasn't happening, they would probably go crazy.

Su Yu called this a method of killing without laying a hand on the target. He wasn't interested in fighting those late-stage Sunmoons to the death. It was pointless. From now on, this was his city.

Su Yu wasin a great mood. After finding an empty building, he went inside and started cultivating. Previously, he had completed forty-four body forgings. His body had grown so strong that even with heavenearth profound light, further growth was slow. Even for the forty-fourth forging, he had been forced to spend twelve hours.

This time, it was even slower. After eighteen hours, he completed his forty-fifth forging. With the growth of his body, the death qi inside his body receded considerably as well. But before long, the speed of the growth increased even further.

Su Yu was surprised. Could the death qi in his body freely adjust the speed of its growth?

At the same time.

Mayor's residence. Inner hall.

The stone statue suddenly opened his eyes and coldly said, "Are you trying to die?"

In the tunnel beneath him, Xing Yue smiled, "Not at all. Look, I'm still in here. I was only curious when I sensed his rapid growth. I was resting earlier when suddenly, the drain on my death qi increased."

"How dare you increase the rate of the growth!"

The stone statue looked at Su Yu again.

Xing Yue said, "That's not me. He has simply grown stronger. According to the laws, this is how things should be. As a converter, I need to adjust the rate according to his strength."

The stone statue said nothing. That was indeed the law. Otherwise, what was a Skysoar death spirit supposed to do when the person it converted got lucky and became a Cloudbreach? Naturally, the death spirit needed to adjust the death qi's growth appropriately to keep the person in the Skysoar Realm.

Of course, something like this was very rare. Most of the time, even if a genius wouldn't be able to outpace the death qi too much. Their converter would be someone of appropriate strength. For example, several death spirits had attempted to convert Su Yu until finally, a death sovereign descended.

Nobody had ever been able to escape the grasp of the death spirits after conversion. And that was even more so for Su Yu who had been converted by a death sovereign. But surprisingly, not only was Su Yu able to suppress the death qi in his body, but he could grow rapidly even with the death qi in his body.

"72-Forged Iron Devourer...this is quite a powerful art."

Xing Yue laughed. With some hesitation, it said, "Apart from the 72-Forged Iron Devourer, he is also able to slow the growth of the death qi in his body. What cultivation method is this? Why does it feel so familiar?"

Of course it was familiar. It was the Source Acupoint Reversal of the death spirits.

In truth, the death spirits only knew how to use this art, but they didn't understand it. This was something they knew right after awakening. It was similar to racial abilities, but it wasn't one. And no living being had ever learned this cultivation method.

Thus, Xing Yue did not think of that possibility. It was able to see the changes inside Su Yu's body when he was using that art, but the source acupoints of death spirits were different. Thus, things were different when they used this art.
