Creation of the Universe

Su Yu seemed very happy.

She said to Shen Zhan in a haughty tone, "Boy, you will know later that having me owe you a favor is probably the greatest benefit you can get in the world.

You will never go wrong by choosing to bet on me.

I need some time to refine the Earth Spirit Fruit. Don't let anything disturb me."

Shen Zhan asked her: "How long will it take you?"

"soon."

Su Yu's answer was straightforward and confident.

The time required to refine the Earth Spirit Fruit varies from person to person. Each person's cultivation, talent, and even current state of mind will affect the refining process.

With Shen Zhan's current level of cultivation, it would still take him several hours to refine one Earth Spirit Fruit, but now he saw with his own eyes Su Yu swallowing five of them in one mouthful!

This is simply unbelievable. One person cannot absorb the spiritual power of so many earth spirit fruits at the same time, but Su Yu seems to not care about it at all.

Since that was the case, Shen Zhan didn't say anything more. He moved Meng Zhong, Chu Qiu, and Zhao Tiange together and waited for Su Yu to recover some of his cultivation before using some means to wake them up.

However, at this time Shen Zhan heard the footsteps of other people approaching here. One of them possessed powerful spiritual power. He immediately became alert, but at the same time he had to stay here because he had to ensure Su Yu's safety during the time she was refining the Earth Spirit Fruit.

"Ma'am, it seems they have been here before."

"I'd like to see what kind of powerful helpers that fox has found. But what they are doing now is helping me find the ancient ruins. This is really a piece of cake."

The voice that came at this time was a woman's voice. Shen Zhan guessed that she was Madam Hongying.

The Liuyun Sword was unsheathed again. Since it was impossible to hide, he had to delay time as much as possible and let Su Yu recover all his companions. That way, at least they would be able to fight.

"Look, Madam, it was he who extinguished the Eight Desolate Infernal Fire with water!"

Following the direction indicated by her subordinate, Madam Hongying saw a tall, handsome young man holding a sword and looking straight ahead.

"Is it really him?"

Although Madam Hongying felt that Shen Zhan had a special aura, she was still a little surprised.

Considering Shen Zhan's age and cultivation level, he doesn't look like someone who can do that kind of thing. After all, he still seems too immature.

But his subordinates were all very sure that Shen Zhan was the culprit.

Madam Hongying looked him over and said, "Although I don't know what your relationship is with this vixen, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it's not a good idea to stay with her right now. You'd better put down your sword and surrender to me as soon as possible. Only then will you avoid a tragic death."

Shen Zhan scoffed at Madam Hongying's threat and said, "I don't like being threatened. I'm very unhappy with you doing this."

"Hmph, you're shameless. Then I'll kill you and this vixen first, and then go to the ancient ruins to find out what's going on."

As she spoke, she raised her slender arm and waved it gently. A person immediately appeared from behind her. At first, he was still taking steps forward, but in the blink of an eye, he dived into the ground and disappeared.

Shen Zhan recognized this man. He was one of the two people who had teamed up with Lao Xie to capture Su Yu. His name seemed to be Shi Ling. He used the same method to escape.

The stone spirit that had escaped into the ground was looking for a good opportunity to strike. He went around behind Shen Zhan and was about to jump up and shoot an arrow, but he suddenly found that the direction he was about to attack was covered by a powerful pressure, giving him a feeling of oppression that he would be torn into pieces in an instant if he emerged from the ground.

Shi Ling hesitated immediately. If it weren't for Madam Hongying's order, he would have to take action. Otherwise, he would have to wait a little longer. He had seen Shen Zhan's strength, and this man was definitely not that easy to deal with.

For safety reasons, he quickly retreated to a farther location, then emerged from underground. At the same time, he grabbed the air with both hands, and sand and rocks immediately flew around. Many large and small stones floated in the air like dead leaves and catkins.

Shen Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered, "You don't dare to attack me from the front, and you don't dare to attack me from the back, yet you think you can hurt me from such a distance? If you value your life so much, why don't you just roll away and be a coward?"

Shi Ling didn't expect to be ridiculed so harshly. He felt a little embarrassed and suddenly controlled the stone to fly towards Su Yu who was refining the Earth Spirit Fruit.

Before Su Yu recovered his cultivation, his mortal body was extremely fragile. If he was unprepared to withstand this attack, the consequences would be disastrous, so Shen Zhan decisively rushed over and stood in front of Su Yu in time.

Stones of all sizes turned into a torrential rain and rushed towards him. Shen Zhan twisted his wrist calmly, and the Liuyun Sword, as its name suggests, formed an unbreakable sword net in front of him, preventing even a single stone from flying past.

Shi Ling's attack was loud but ineffective, and almost completely ineffective. He became anxious and gathered the stones together to form a huge stone ball, which he smashed heavily on the heads of Shen Zhan and Su Yu.

Shen Zhan gathered his energy with one hand and instantly poured it into the Liuyun Sword. The tip of the sword flashed with a sharp sword light, which gathered at one point and easily shattered the large stone ball.

"Useless things."

Madam Hongying cursed in dissatisfaction, then stepped forward, ready to deal with Shen Zhan personally.

However, at this moment, a strange fog suddenly appeared around, instantly blocking the vision. When Madam Hongying rushed over, Shen Zhan was no longer in his original position.

"Come on."

Su Yu's voice rang in his ears. Although Shen Zhan couldn't tell the direction for a moment, he could feel that Su Yu was leading the way for him in front, so he followed decisively.

"This fog can temporarily hold back the enemy. We can only continue to move forward."

Shen Zhan said, "I can't leave Meng Zhong and the others here."

"I knew you would say that. Wait."

Su Yuren was in front of Shen Zhan, but her tail suddenly grew longer and longer, and went directly into the fog. After a while, she rolled up Meng Zhong, Chu Qiu, and Zhao Tiange and came in front of Shen Zhan.

Shen Zhan asked in surprise: "How much of your cultivation has recovered?"

"The effect of the Earth Spirit Fruit is just a drop in the bucket for me. It barely restored less than one tenth of my health."

"So do you have any way to make them recover now?"

Su Yu replied: "Yes, but I advise you not to do this."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that after they wake up, they may not be the same people you knew."
