The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 607 I'll Go in Your Place
Su Zhenyuan's gaze swept over the Lin family and the Jiang family.

Jiang Qiuyu was filled with grief upon hearing of Jiang Xuming's passing, for he was, after all, a rare and outstanding prodigy of the Jiang family.

As for the Lin family, Lin Jinrou, and two others... were also quite impressive, but I'm afraid they weren't much better than Jiang Xuming.

Not only Su Zhenyuan, but Lin Daogong's expression also turned ugly. The other family patriarchs also looked at their own prodigies, and then realized with grief and despair that with their prodigies' strength, going up there would probably only be suicide!

That's too strong! The Red-Bearded One's combat power is already at the ceiling level within a thousand-year lifespan. Could it be that he only sent one person to fight and he was going to defeat them all?!

As for a war of attrition... it's pointless. With the help of the Stars and Planets Vein, the opponent can instantly recover to their peak condition.

Unless, of course, some secret technique can inflict irreversible and irreparable damage upon it.

However, performing this secret technique is extremely harmful to the practitioner.

"What, haven't decided who to send? Or is there no one else to send?"

The middle-aged man in purple robes looked down at Su Zhenyuan and the others, and seeing their somber expressions, a smile crept onto his lips.

"Father……"

In the silence, Su Muqing took a step forward and looked at Su Zhenyuan.

Su Zhenyuan's body trembled slightly as he looked at his daughter. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, pain, and guilt. He was a qualified father, but as a father, he was a failure. Putting his daughter in danger might ruin her future.

Even Su Muqing might not be much stronger than Jiang Xuming, who had just taken drugs and burned his primordial spirit. This battle is a gamble with everything.

But... he didn't say no.

Otherwise, Jiang Xuming's death in the battle would have been a great injustice.

"Don't go."

Li Hao's expression changed slightly when he saw that Su Muqing was really going to make a move.

Although he could sense that Su Muqing was very strong, that demon prodigy was equally terrifying.

Seeing Li Hao grab her wrist, Su Muqing's expression changed, a flash of disgust crossing her eyes. She turned and looked coldly at Li Hao, saying:

"I'm not going. Are you going to go in my place?"

"Ok!"

To his surprise, Li Hao agreed immediately, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Su Muqing was taken aback.

Everyone had witnessed how strong Chi Xu had been. Even if Lin Jinrou and the others were to take the stage, it would be tantamount to courting death.

Neither Su Wanqing nor Su Wanxue were a match for the other party.

Li Hao... She looked at this young man, who was willing to die for her?
This was no child's play, no joke, and she was momentarily stunned.

But she quickly came to her senses, her face darkening as she said, "Don't joke around. This is a gamble involving an entire immortal city and countless immortal citizens. Moreover, if we suffer consecutive defeats, I will still have to participate in the third battle!"

As she spoke, she looked at Su Zhenyuan and, seeing the look in her father's eyes, she understood that he had tacitly agreed.

She whispered her thanks to her father, and then, under the watchful eyes of her father filled with vicissitudes, she rushed towards the Demon Ancestor's dojo.

But at that moment, a figure flashed past and blocked Su Muqing's path.

"I'll go in your place. I will never lose."

Li Hao said.

"Step aside!"

Su Muqing had no time to pay attention to Li Hao. Suddenly, she turned around and rushed towards the dojo, bypassing Li Hao.

Li Hao's expression changed. The other party was Ying Xiaoxiao's reincarnation, and he did not want to see her get into trouble again before she even woke up.

The girl had already perished and shattered before his eyes; was he to witness it again now?
He instantly unleashed his power, wanting to be the first to rush into the dojo, but suddenly a force enveloped him, like an iron wall, restricting his body and suppressing all his power within his body, unable to release even a fraction of it.

"Don't bother her, kid. Whoever you are, just wait quietly!"

Lin Daogong glanced indifferently at Li Hao, his brows furrowing at the sight of Li Hao entangled with Su Muqing, after all, Su Muqing was the Lin family's daughter-in-law.

"let me go!"

Li Hao's expression changed, his blood surged, and he tried to forcefully break free.

However, the opponent was a half-step Emperor, and the gap was too vast. Even if he were a Celestial King, Li Hao would not be able to withstand him now, let alone suppress a half-step Emperor who was a Celestial King with a wave of his hand.

In response to Li Hao, that force propelled him back to the Su family members.

"Haotian."

Su Wanqing stepped forward, her expression changing. She stared intently at Li Hao, who was willing to die for his sister?

She suddenly realized that perhaps they had both underestimated each other's feelings for Su Muqing and misunderstood each other's true intentions.

Perhaps the young man in front of him had never lied from the beginning. He was telling the truth. He came only for Su Muqing herself, and it had nothing to do with the Su family or cultivation.

"Haotian, just wait, you're just going to your death if you go up there."

Seeing Li Hao's actions, Su Zhenyuan felt a touch of unspoken relief. Although the young man's motives were impure and he was obsessed with Su Muqing, his willingness to step forward for her still moved Su Zhenyuan.

Li Hao seemed not to hear their words, and looked at the Demon Ancestor's dojo, only to find that the sealing array barrier had been closed.

His blood was surging, a feeling of tumultuousness and explosion, yet he was also in a state of extreme cold and calm, staring directly at everything, as if his soul had separated from his body, a feeling of his consciousness vibrating.

We absolutely cannot... let anything happen.

He didn't know if he could remain rational if the scene of the Southern Battle were to repeat itself before his eyes.

At this moment, with Su Muqing's appearance, the young talents of various noble families breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, only Su Muqing can resolve the current predicament.

Otherwise, if the opponent were to kill all the geniuses of the human race with just one person, it would truly be a dark day for the human race.

"It's Su Zhenfeng!"

"I've seen her portrait. I know her, Su Muqing!"

"Did Su Muqing make a move so quickly? Is it possible that apart from the Su family's Zhenfeng, no one else can pose a threat to that demon?"

"Perhaps they want the Su family's True Phoenix to kill him, giving him no chance to beg for mercy!"

In the 36,000 immortal cities, countless people were discussing the matter, some were overjoyed and some were worried. What would happen if Su Muqing were to lose again?

Inside the dojo, Chi Xu squinted as he sized up Su Muqing as she entered.

He recognized the human girl before him; she was also their primary target for elimination on this mission.

As reflected in the Soul Mirror outside the dojo, Su Muqing's lifespan was revealed, which was only a little over five hundred years.

Soul Life is only about half that of Red Beard, which is a huge difference for a prodigy.

Seeing this, many people couldn't help but feel nervous.

"So you've finally decided to send out the real deal?"

Red Beard grinned slightly, his eyes revealing a bloodthirsty glint. This was different from his previous killing intent towards Jiang Xuming; it was a strong desire to devour.

If he can consume this top-tier human bloodline, he will surely be able to advance further, stand out from the top ranks, and truly become invincible in the same realm!

Su Muqing's eyes were deep and cold. She didn't speak or reply. Instead, she flipped her hand, and a long sword flew out and landed in her palm.

With a thunderous roar that ripped through the sky, the carnage of this battle began.

Bang!
Su Muqing unleashed her full power, and the Nine Flowers Nine Orders Immortal Seal appeared on her forehead. A powerful force of time, ancient and profound, accompanied her sword as it suddenly struck out.

With this sword strike, she channeled all her strength, freezing time itself. In the blink of an eye, she had already completed hundreds of overlapping sword strikes.

As the sword flashed, she reversed time and space, arriving at the moment when Chi Xu was least prepared.

The sword light cleaved through space and time, and the layering and tearing power of space stripped Chi Xu's body into countless fragments, which were buried in layers of void fragments.

In the blink of an eye, the once arrogant Redbeard died again!
Countless people watched, breathless, stunned, and incredulous.

But this time there was no cheering, only tension.

Jiang Xuming did the same thing before, killing Chixu with a single shot at the start, but the ending was reversed. Will it happen again now?
"The Origin of Time, Sevenfold?!"

Outside the dojo, the purple-robed middle-aged man's expression changed, and the golden-eyed middle-aged man and the other cold and beautiful woman beside him also had slight changes in their eyes.

The Origin of Time, although other geniuses can also master it, including some geniuses with the Nine Flowers and Nine Seals Immortal Seal, all master the Origin of Time.

However, the levels of mastery vary, with cultivation becoming increasingly difficult as one progresses. Therefore, most prodigies only manage to control the essence of time to the point of condensing immortal seals, and then slightly improve upon that. Delving into the essence of time consumes far too much energy and time, and even then, there's no guarantee of success.

As the most mysterious and ancient power among the Nine Orders, Time is unfathomable. The sixth level of the Origin of Time alone is enough to easily defeat many geniuses of the same level.

All kinds of immortal techniques and the bloodline of an emperor are like puppets in the face of time manipulation. No matter what methods you use, if you were to be reversed back to your infancy, would you die?
Chi Xu's body shattered. Jiang Xuming's earlier attack was not entirely without benefit to the human race. At least, it made Su Muqing aware of the function of the Spirit Blood Ghost Body. She raised her hand and waved it, but instead of activating her Heaven and Earth Meridians to absorb the immortal power of heaven and earth, she sealed and isolated all the immortal power in the Daoist temple.

She did not expel her immortal power from the dojo, thus limiting her own power.

She simply sealed it in another timeline.

At this point in time, before and after the death of Chixu, there was no immortal power within ten minutes.

This was Su Muqing's deduction based on the fluctuations of the time law aura that Chi Xu had previously displayed, judging that his time origin realm was at most only the fifth level.

Just in case, she sent her immortal power to the timeline that only the top level of the sixth realm could touch.

The dojo fell silent, with only Su Muqing standing quietly in place, surrounded by immortal light and divine power. She looked stunningly beautiful and arrogant, like a true genius phoenix looking down on the world.

Time passed slowly, one minute, three minutes, and Redbeard still hadn't appeared.

Countless faces were filled with barely contained ecstasy and shock.

The previously formidable Red Beard was no match for Su Muqing's sword.

The many demons and geniuses on the deck also changed color, looking at Su Muqing with surprise and suspicion.

If Redbeard loses, most of them will also lose if they go into battle!
"Ok?"

Suddenly, Su Muqing's expression changed slightly. She saw a beam of light shining into the training ground, which turned out to be a beam of light from a distant star.

Her expression changed. As a top-tier genius protected by stars, the light shone down, and a trace of immortal power appeared in the void.

In just a moment, the immortal power rapidly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to transform into the appearance of a red-bearded figure.

"solidification!"

Su Muqing acted swiftly, freezing and reversing time, intending to turn him from life to death!
But a torrent of blood energy surged from the outline of the red-bearded figure, transforming into endless blood energy that resisted the power of time reversal.

His Blood Dao Origin Realm has just broken through to the seventh level of Origin Realm, and has reached the intermediate level.

Under the erosion and resistance of this boundless blood energy, even the origin of time could not penetrate the sea of ​​blood and reverse time. Countless timelines were covered up and could not be found in the sea of ​​blood.

Soon, by studying the blood energy, Chi Xu found his sealed immortal power. The moment he touched it, his true form condensed, and all his power returned.

The cheers abruptly ceased. Su Muqing's face turned icy cold. She hadn't expected that the other party hadn't died even after all that. She would have to shatter that guardian star, but that would require even greater power!

"so close……"

Chi Xu's face was gloomy, and he felt a sense of unease. He almost didn't make it back. If he hadn't just happened to devour Jiang Xuming and broken through his bloodline origin, increasing his strength, he would have really perished!

If the woman in front of him had been the one to fight the first battle, he would probably be dead by now.

Thinking of this, he felt a chill of fear and his eyes turned fierce.

"die!"

Chi Xu summoned the black cauldron and smashed it towards Su Muqing.

At the same time, he raised his hand and swallowed several magic potions in succession. He was wary of the power that his opponent had with just one sword strike.

He disregarded the risk to himself and immediately burned his spiritual blood, his aura rapidly rising to the peak of the Immortal Lord realm, leaping from the eighth level to the tenth level!

The black cauldron pressed down like Mount Tai. Su Muqing raised her hand and reversed time, but the space-time before her was pulled by a strong force. She could only reverse so much that the magic potion and spiritual blood of Chi Xu had not yet taken effect. She made another move, and the sword light rose up, splitting Chi Xu's body in two.

Bang!
Red Beard's body split open again, but this time, the splitting body sprayed out a large amount of blood mist, which surged towards Su Muqing.

Su Muqing's expression changed, but it was too late to stop; her whole body was soaked in blood.

A surge of spiritual energy suddenly attacked her primordial spirit in her sea of ​​consciousness.

"die!"

Redbeard let out a ferocious roar, and with two consecutive sword strikes, he lost his confidence in the battle. Despite his many powers, he was no match for the seventh level of the Time Origin. He had no choice but to fight desperately with his primordial spirit.

Although Su Muqing's primordial spirit was also very strong, it was not much different from Chi Xu's. When they collided, she immediately felt her primordial spirit tremble. She hurriedly used the Blade of Time to cut open the opponent's primordial spirit. Each cut weakened his primordial spirit even more. However, Chi Xu had already gone mad, and his primordial spirit spontaneously combusted. Combined with the blood curse of the Spirit Blood Clan, it left a deep mark on Su Muqing's primordial spirit.

Su Muqing's face was pale, time seemed to stand still, and she was rapidly healing, but the mark was like a curse, like a maggot clinging to her bone, and she could not get rid of it.

This force continued to erode her primordial spirit, weakening her relentlessly, unless her father intervened.

But if she did that, she would have to leave the dojo.

Her face was grim. She condensed the essence of time into a pseudo-domain, enveloping the mark and finally managing to barely stop the rate of erosion. However, it only slowed it down; the mark continued to erode at an extremely weak and slow pace, leaving her both shocked and apprehensive.

Outside, the body of the red-bearded figure in the arena shattered, and Su Muqing once again swung her sword, completely annihilating it.

The opponent's primordial spirit has been extinguished, and even if they possess immortal power, they will be unable to condense an immortal body again.

For a long time, there was no sound in the dojo, but the middle-aged man in purple robes and Su Zhenyuan and the others had already sensed the death of the red-bearded man.

"The Sevenfold Origin of Time..."

The middle-aged man in purple robes gritted his teeth, his face gloomy and ugly. This battle did not seem as big as Jiang Xuming's battle, but both sides used their strongest power and the outcome was decided in the blink of an eye.

Aside from their cultivation level, a prodigy will never miss any opportunity to kill their opponent; they can seize even the slightest flaw.

Su Muqing's face was as cold as frost as she looked up at the other demon prodigies and asked, "Who's next to die?"

Her words were cold and resounded throughout the room.

At the same moment, it sparked countless cheers of ecstasy on Gusu Imperial Star.

Humans won! They won the second battle!
On the deck, the faces of the demon prodigies were grim; none of them had expected that Chi Xu would die so quickly.

He was at the eighth level of the Immortal Lord realm, yet he was actually killed by Su Muqing, who was at the seventh level.

"She is afflicted with the God-Devouring Blood Curse left by the Crimson Beard, which even the Source of Time cannot seal away. As long as this drags on, she will surely decline. Who of you will go? Just delay the battle."

The middle-aged man in the purple robe had eyes as bright as candlelight, seeing through Su Muqing's state, and turned to speak to the crowd.

Upon hearing of the formidable reputation of the God-Devouring Blood Curse, the faces of all the demons and geniuses changed, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that although Akabane died, he made some contributions.

"I'll do it; anyone else going up there will just be suicide."

A demon prodigy spoke coldly.

The middle-aged man in purple robes glanced at him, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

The opponent is one of the five prodigies of this time, and is no less than Chi Xu, and is even three points stronger.

This demonic prodigy then leisurely entered the Demon Ancestor's dojo.

Before the thunder even sounded, he had already unleashed his power and aura, revealing that he, like Su Muqing, was at the seventh level of the Immortal Lord realm.

His lifespan is only seven hundred years.

The moment the thunder roared, a nightmare power extended outwards, and the eyes of this demonic prodigy turned purplish-black. Behind him, an ancient nightmare phantom emerged, its form ferocious. The phantom was much clearer than the Taixu God that Jiang Xuming had summoned earlier, clearly indicating that its control over the bloodline power was higher than Jiang Xuming's.

In a mere instant, the nightmare phantom opened its eyes, and the dojo was immediately enveloped in a purplish-black light.

Su Muqing's primordial spirit trembled, and she felt drowsy.

She hurriedly tried to use the Time Reversal Technique, but felt weak and powerless all over, unable to muster any immortal power or divine sense.

"not good……"

Su Muqing's heart trembled violently. The other party used his trump card right away. If her primordial spirit were not strong enough, and if the source of time had not been constantly reversing the time around her and not staying on the same timeline as the other party, she would probably have fallen into a deep sleep on the spot.

The opponent was simply cheating, using power that was not at the Immortal Lord level.

Although this power can only put it into a deep sleep, it is still somewhat invincible among those in the same realm.

If they're truly unconscious, wouldn't they be completely at our mercy?

"I, I admit defeat..."

She gritted her teeth and, in the instant her consciousness sank into a nightmare, uttered three words, but they were as weak as a whisper.

Even though they are not on the same timeline, the other party's nightmare power can still affect her. If her primordial spirit had not been damaged and she had maintained her previous peak state, and the timeline had been stretched further, she might have been able to resist it. But now it's too late.

Bang!
The sealing barrier broke, and two figures rushed out almost simultaneously, arriving beside Su Muqing.
