Chapter 709: Chapter 338: Master of Flesh and Blood

“This… how is this possible…”

Tong Hui’s legs went soft, collapsing to the ground as he stared blankly at the battle in the center of the ruins.

The exploding waves made even the splashing raindrops carry force, hitting like a hailstorm.

Tong Hui found it unbelievable that You Su seemed like a different person altogether. From their brief encounter earlier, he could sense that You Su was extraordinary, but he should not be this formidable.

This was not the Condensed Water Lower Realm; Tong Hui even felt this was not human.

This blind man and the giant serpent that easily sent the Fire Armadillo flying were ancient monsters beyond human comprehension.

It wasn’t just him; many present were stupefied, a giant serpent that robbed them of the courage to draw their swords, yet You Su dared to challenge it again and again.

Even when he was knocked back hundreds of meters, he soared back into the sky like an indestructible monster, continuing his fearless assault.

Unexpectedly, the evil tide to the south underwent another mutation.

Due to the sudden situation and the forced separation for You Su’s sake, both groups lacked defenses. Someone inadvertently allowed the southern evil tide to surge in, yet the unfortunate soul who was engulfed found they were not torn apart by the numb evil puppet corpses.

Fu Heng and others struggled fiercely against the evil puppets climbing up the ruins, but this evil tide had gained momentum, and the exhausted cultivators couldn’t stop this overwhelming flood.

Just as everyone prepared for a desperate fight, they noticed the evil puppets merely brushed past them, as if not seeing them at all, or as if the puppets’ target wasn’t them.

They actually started tearing each other apart!

No one understood how things turned out like this. The evil puppets began to kill each other, with the giant serpent being held off by You Su. Had You Su truly brought hope?

You Su knew he couldn’t kill the giant serpent that had lived for over five thousand years. For someone in the Condensed Water Lower Realm, even getting close was challenging, let alone rescuing Ji Xueruo from its grasp.

So, without hesitation, he cut open his own wrist.

As he charged forward, he consciously mixed the blood flowing from his wrist into the rainwater, splattering into the mouths of these evil puppets.

The evil puppets had no master, and the True Lord’s blood held an instinctual allure for them. The evil puppets that went madly fleeing south earlier were not fearing You Su, but the group of evil creatures that evolved from puppets to followers wherever You Su passed.

This was You Su’s resolve. He would save Ji Xueruo and everyone else.

He had never spread his corrupted blood so extensively, embodying the semblance of a true Evil God.

These evil puppets turned into his flesh puppets, each formerly a renowned genius in the Feather Transformation Realm, conveying nearly endless power to You Su. This gave him the ability to challenge the giant serpent, and at the same time, they became part of You Su’s army, forcibly infecting those evil puppets not yet ‘polluted’ by him, expanding You Su’s reservoirs.

Before today, You Su always believed he was merely a vessel for the True Lord. He was himself, and the True Lord was the True Lord.

But at this very moment, feeling this seemingly infinite power, You Su believed he had merged with the True Lord.

Previously, he only wanted to protect himself and those around him modestly, and his current identity was enough to achieve that. Thus, he never admitted to being the True Lord, only believing that the True Lord was dwelling within him.

But now he had a new goal—

He wanted to overthrow the fate written for him by that person, to one day pull that person out of the fog and uncover the conspiracy on himself and the world’s truth.

You Su couldn’t achieve that, but You Su as the True Lord could.

He was the True Lord.

The power of these hundreds of cultivators filled him, making You Su feel like he was about to explode from the intense pressure, but his strong heart and unparalleled will held together these muscles that were on the verge of breaking apart.

He would survive, and he would ensure everyone survived.

…

Outside the Immortal Island, Zhengyang the True Immortal stood lofty, with a great sun behind him. The sun reflected the hellish scene unfolding within Celestial Awakening Island—

You Su scattered his blood while riding a fire-spitting beast. The Five Continents’ cultivators behind him all lay on the ground, twisting and convulsing, then got up to become the blank-eyed followers of demonic beings.

They followed the young man with the black silhouette, as if following their king.

“What an astonishing scene!”

Zhengyang the True Immortal exclaimed loudly, like thunder rumbling fiercely in the clouds.

In front of him was an elder with white hair, standing at nearly equal height with the world’s only Celestial Awakening True Immortal. This was an absolute taboo for Zhengyang the True Immortal.

The senior elder remained silent, unable to even see the faces of these cultivators in the light screen, only catching sight of You Su’s solitary and resolute back.

Below these two elders, the crowd grew increasingly restless.

Most of the cultivators turned followers had ties or relationships with some of the people there, and they hadn’t expected to glimpse the Immortal Island’s secrets, only to see their descendants or disciples turned into followers by a demonic being hidden within the Human Race.

And this demonic being’s protector was the Celestial Technique Venerable leading them to pressure Zhengyang the True Immortal.

“He wouldn’t do this for no reason.”
