Chapter 430 - 412: Divine Authority

Su Yu took a cyan Jade Bottle from his Sumeru Mustard Seed, uncorked it, and poured the drop of Divine Blood inside onto his hand.

Under the sunlight, the Divine Blood, gleaming with a golden light, was exceptionally beautiful, like a perfect work of art.

Looking at this drop of Divine Blood, Su Yu marveled inwardly.

’Is this really the blood of a god? It’s so perfect.’

’No, this is probably just blood with a trace of divinity. It’s far inferior to true Divine Blood.’

’It just goes to show how powerful real Divine Blood must be!’

’I wonder when I’ll be able to reach such a level. By then, maybe a single drop of my blood will also be enough to astound the world.’

A flash of anticipation appeared in Su Yu’s eyes. He had immense confidence in his future, determined to reach the pinnacle of martial power and see what this world truly had to offer.

ZZZT...

The drop of Divine Blood was already growing restless, emitting a searing glow as it tried to drill into Su Yu’s palm and enter his body.

Su Yu chuckled and swallowed it directly.

OM!

As the Divine Blood entered his body, it immediately tried to forcefully fuse with Su Yu.

But in the next moment, it was easily suppressed by his peerless talent.

[Divine Authority detected. Can be stripped. Strip it?]

"A new Divine Authority!"

"This drop of Divine Blood really is different!"

Seeing those two words, Su Yu felt his heart pound wildly.

The last time, he had obtained the Authority of Thunder from that special Divine Statue of Mother Black Lotus, which had given him the astonishing Thunder Summoning Divine Law.

And now, he had the chance to obtain a new Authority!

Su Yu took a sharp breath of the cool morning mist, suppressed his excitement, and carefully considered the situation once more.

Seizing a god’s Authority offered great rewards but also great risks. He still remembered the system’s previous warning: if he used this ability too much, he would attract the attention of the gods.

Should he seize the Authority of another god now? This would likely mean adding one more major enemy to his path in the future!

After hesitating for only a second, the corners of Su Yu’s mouth curled into a smile.

’With my peerless talent, it would be shameful to be so timid! I’ll master even greater power. So what if I have to face these gods as enemies one day? Strip it!’

Su Yu’s mind sharpened, and without any hesitation, he gave the command internally.

[Analyzing Divine Authority... Stripping...]

As the words appeared before him, Su Yu squeezed his eyes shut.

In his sea of consciousness, a vast, desolate, and ancient scene seemed to unfold, spanning the endless river of eons and unfurling in an instant:

At this moment, his consciousness was incarnated within the shell of a primordial demon god, ten thousand zhang tall, that stood between heaven and earth!

The deity had no facial features. A magnificent horn, thousands of zhang long and wreathed in black lightning patterns, jutted from the top of its head, piercing straight through the nine layers of the firmament. Behind its broad, boundless back floated an enormous crimson halo, woven from countless threads of scarlet Qi and Blood and brilliant golden light. It rotated slowly in the void, accompanied by a dull roar like a beating heart.

It was the undisputed master of life in this great world, striding through a boiling, boundless ocean of golden Divine Blood in the deepest depths of the Nine Hells.

The demon god took a casual step, and the viscous sea of golden blood beneath its feet surged into a monstrous tsunami. A single, insignificant drop of golden light accidentally splashed out, pierced through the heavy gloom of the Nine Hells, and fell upon the vast, desolate mortal land below.

In an instant, upon contact with this drop of golden light, the hundred-li barren plain—originally devoid of life and littered with bones—began to rumble and shake. The earth itself rose up, sprouting a boundless, ancient, and verdant forest!

Countless bleached bones buried under the soil suddenly grew flesh and muscle, rising from the ground. Even the shattered remains of a mortal, dead for a hundred years, snapped its eyes open under this vast miracle of life. Severed limbs sprouted flesh that madly spread and reformed, and it let out a defiant roar to the heavens.

THUMP THUMP!

THUMP THUMP!

The demon god’s thunderous, massive heartbeat, carrying the rhythm of immortal and indestructible life, echoed through the nine heavens and ten lands!

In the face of this absolute law of Authority over fleshly proliferation and endless life, all mortal beings, and even the many experts above the nine heavens, knelt in submission, their physical bodies and bloodlines trembling instinctively!

[Successfully obtained Divine Authority: Flesh! (Integrity: 0.01%)]

[Authority Traits]: Mortal shells are but clay; only flesh is eternal! As the host has mastered a minuscule amount of the Authority of Flesh, your resistance to all flesh mutation, life toxins, and Evil God corruption is permanently increased by 30%. Your comprehension of physical vitality, the mysteries of Qi and Blood, essence blood regeneration, and the speed of self-healing enhancement is permanently increased by 30%.

[Attached Divine Law]: [Flesh Healing] (Beginner)! The host can mentally commune with the wellspring of life within their body to forcefully awaken and drive the proliferation of flesh in localized muscle tissue.

When suffering from blade wounds, physical tears, or piercing injuries, you can expend Qi and Blood to make the muscle fibers, great tendons, and blood vessels at the wound site madly proliferate and writhe like a spider’s web, achieving instantaneous recovery.

In the next instant, Su Yu’s eyes flew open, a startling light flashing within them.

"A divine skill!"

Su Yu couldn’t help but blurt it out, feeling absolutely ecstatic at this moment.

"A divine law of Flesh Healing! This is so important for me right now!"

Right now, Su Yu’s combat power was astonishing. He had no problem fighting across two minor realms, and his speed was unrivaled within his own realm. Whether it was fleeing or pursuing, he was top-tier.

But he had one problem: when facing an enemy a major realm above him, he was too fragile!

However, this wasn’t his fault. The gap between Martial Arts Realms was simply too vast. It was no exaggeration to describe the difference between each major realm as a chasm.

Although he had trump cards like his Divine Skills, including Silent Extinction, Thunder Summoning, and the Taibai Primordial Magnetism Golden Qi, they were all offensive measures.

If he couldn’t kill his opponent in one strike, there was no room for error!

He might not even have time to use them before being heavily wounded by an enemy’s single blow, leaving him with no chance for a comeback.

After all, he couldn’t just unleash his trump cards on every enemy from the very start.

But now, with the divine law of Flesh Healing, he had a powerful safety net. He could calmly choose the best moment to strike in battle.

Even if it meant taking some damage, it would be no problem!

Su Yu took out Mo Yuan and stabbed himself in the abdomen!

"Ah! Brother Su, what are you doing!?"

Yang Ai had just come over to deliver a message when she saw this scene, and she immediately rushed forward.

Seeing Su Yu grimacing in pain, a bleeding wound on his stomach, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Let me bandage that for you! Brother Su, what’s wrong? Why would you do something so desperate!?"

Just as Yang Ai’s small hands pulled aside Su Yu’s clothes, she saw an astonishing sight.

Red flesh and blood writhed madly, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yang Ai immediately covered her mouth, watching in disbelief.

"Bro... Brother Su... Th-the wound... it’s already healed!"

Su Yu smiled, wiped away her glistening teardrops, and took her jade-like hand, pulling her to her feet.

"Your Brother Su isn’t a fool. My life force is exceptionally powerful now; I was just running an experiment."

"What did you come looking for me for?"

Yang Ai’s face immediately lit up with a smile. Although she didn’t quite understand, she was used to trusting her Brother Su, so she didn’t ask any more questions.

"Brother Su, someone from the Public Security Bureau is here. They said they need you to go over. It seems someone from the Inner City has arrived, and they want to discuss something."

"Someone from the Inner City?"

Su Yu’s expression grew serious. For someone to arrive at this time, it was most likely about the fusion of the Inner City and Outer City.

’It looks like big changes are coming to Black Stone City.’
