152: Chapter 152 New Effect: Dragon's Might Suppression

Above the Tianyuan Arena, the voice of the eye of destiny fluctuated violently for the first time.

[Warning: Detected attack intensity approaching the Seventh-Order! Current attack intensity has exceeded the single devouring limit of the Six Paths of Reincarnation by 137%!]

[Netherworld World rule barrier endurance assessment in progress...]

[Assessment result: Over-limit.]

[Suggestion: Red Side should immediately deploy all defensive measures.]

All thirty-two trillion spectators stood up.

On the viewing platform of Qinglin Province, Chu Kuangren's face turned deathly pale.

"Over-limit... The Six Paths of Reincarnation can't swallow it..."

Chu Zhentian's fingers suddenly tightened on the armrest, his knuckles turning white. His lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.

On the viewing platform of Tianji Province, Jun Luoyu opened his eyes, and the Invisible Sword on his lap emitted a low hum.

On the viewing platform of Guixu Province, the curve of Ye Qingxue's mouth vanished. Her left eye was as black as ink, while her right eye was as white as snow, both vibrating violently simultaneously.

On the viewing platform of Zhongzhou Province, Di Wudao's teacup shook slightly in his hand.

In the Netherworld World, before the Ghost Gate Pass.

Su Bai looked at the golden giant dragon diving down, his grayish-white eyes remaining calm.

Over-limit by 137%.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation couldn't swallow it whole.

Then he would change the method.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation, do not swallow it whole," Su Bai's voice echoed from the world core. "Deconstruct it. Swallow it piece by piece."

The light pillar of the Six Paths of Reincarnation rose from the world core, no longer as a single complete beam, but decomposing into six light wheels.

The Heavenly Path, the Human Path, the Asura Path, the animal path, the hungry ghost path, and the hell path.

The six light wheels rotated in the void, each one aimed at a different part of the golden giant dragon.

The Heavenly Path aimed at the dragon's head, the Human Path at the dragon's neck, the Asura Path at the dragon's torso, the animal path at the dragon's claws, the hungry ghost path at the dragon's tail, and the hell path at the dragon's soul.

The six light wheels rotated simultaneously, deconstructing the golden giant dragon into six parts to be devoured separately.

The rule power of the Heavenly Path devoured the dragon might in the head; the rule power of the Human Path devoured the Dragon Flame in the neck; the rule power of the Asura Path devoured the Dragon Blood in the torso; the rule power of the animal path devoured the dragon bones in the claws; the rule power of the hungry ghost path devoured the dragon soul in the tail; and the rule power of the hell path devoured the sins within the dragon soul.

The golden giant dragon was dismantled, decomposed, and devoured in the void.

It struggled, roared, and spat Dragon Flame, but the six light wheels rotated faster and faster, and the devouring speed increased accordingly.

The dragon might was suppressed by the Heavenly Path, the Dragon Flame was purified by the Human Path, the Dragon Blood was absorbed by the Asura Path, the dragon bones were decomposed by the animal path, the dragon soul was devoured by the hungry ghost path, and the sins were judged by the hell path.

The golden giant dragon's body grew smaller and smaller, from a thousand feet to five hundred feet, from five hundred feet to a hundred feet, and from a hundred feet to ten feet.

Finally, it turned into a fist-sized golden light sphere, suspended between the six light wheels.

The six light wheels rotated together, swallowing that light sphere into the core of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The Netherworld World shook violently.

Six golden patterns appeared on the light wheels of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. One on each wheel, like six coiled golden dragons.

That was the power of the Myriad Demon World, an imprint left behind after being digested by the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation had evolved.

[Six Paths of Reincarnation rule power increased: Devouring limit +50%.]

[Six Paths of Reincarnation new effect: Dragon Might Suppression. The Six Paths of Reincarnation can perform rule-level suppression on units with dragon bloodlines. For units with dragon bloodline purity below the third generation, all attributes are reduced by 50%.]

Su Bai looked at the prompt, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

Dragon Might Suppression.

Below the third generation, all attributes reduced by 50%.

Blood Howl's dragon bloodline was of the third generation, just hitting the threshold.

Whereas Flood Demon Dragon's first-generation bloodline after its ancestral return was not within the range of suppression.

But the Flood Demon Dragon no longer had a chance.

Because all of its power had already been devoured by the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Luo Qinghe stood in the world pod, watching his Myriad Demon World collapse in the void.

Five million seven hundred thousand demon beasts had all been sacrificed. Seven peak sixth-order demon beasts were completely exhausted. The Flood Demon Dragon's body shrank from five hundred feet back to a hundred feet, then to ten feet, and finally back to the size of an ordinary person. His dragon scales lost their luster, his horns were broken, and his claws were withered.

He turned back into an ordinary lizard, lying on the ruins of the Myriad Demon World, his dark-gold eyes filled with exhaustion.

Luo Qinghe closed his eyes.

His finger hovered over the surrender button, trembling for three seconds.

Finally, he opened his eyes and pressed it.

[Luo Qinghe has surrendered.]

[Knockout Stage · Second Match, Winner: Su Bai.]

[Su Bai advances to the Semi-finals.]

Above the Tianyuan Arena, the voice of the eye of destiny resounded across sixty-seven star sectors.

[Knockout Stage · Second Match, the outcome has been decided.]

[Red Side: Su Bai, Tianxuan Star Sector · Qinglin Province, Victory.]

[Blue Side: Luo Qinghe, Tianji Star Sector · Canglan Province, Defeat.]

[Su Bai has advanced to the Semi-finals.]

In an instant, the entire public opinion field of the Great Xia Kingdom was like a supernova being dropped into it.

"He won! Su Bai won! The Myriad Demon World was blown apart!"

"The City God's soul judgment! Meng Po's Forgetfulness River water sealed the power of time! The Ghost King severed the Flood Demon Dragon's claws! The Six Paths of Reincarnation deconstructed the golden giant dragon!"

"Not a single one of Su Bai's heroes fell! Not even one!"

"The Netherworld World... what kind of monster is it exactly..."

On the viewing platform of Qinglin Province, thirty million people erupted in earth-shattering cheers. Chu Kuangren stood there, mouth agape, tears flowing, unable to say a single word.

Chu Zhentian's fingers released the armrest as he leaned back in his chair, his smile wider than ever before.

The Old Principal stood in a corner of the viewing platform, tears glistening in his cloudy eyes, his lips trembling slightly.

"Su Bai... the Semi-finals... Qinglin Province's first-ever national top four..."

Lin Canglan stood in the shadows, looking at Su Bai's back on the light screen, tears silently sliding down. She smiled, a very, very soft smile.

On the viewing platform of Tianji Province, Jun Luoyu stood up, and the Invisible Sword on his lap emitted a crisp sword chime.

"The Semi-finals." His voice was like a sword chime. "Su Bai, I'll wait for you in the Semi-finals."

On the viewing platform of Guixu Province, Ye Qingxue stood by the ancient well. Her left eye was as black as ink, and her right eye was as white as snow, the curve of her mouth wider than any time before.

"The Semi-finals," she said softly. "Su Bai, your opponent is me."

On the viewing platform of Zhongzhou Province, Di Wudao put down his teacup, stood up, and walked to the edge of the platform.

"The Semi-finals." His voice was low, as if squeezed from his chest. "Su Bai versus Ye Qingxue... Netherworld versus Chaos..."

The corner of his mouth curled up into an extremely subtle arc.

"Interesting."

Inside the world pod, Su Bai withdrew his consciousness.

He looked down at his hand. The crack on his palm was still there, extending from the lifeline all the way to the wrist, slightly deeper than before.

When devouring the power of the Myriad Demon World, the backlash from the Six Paths of Reincarnation had intensified again.

But it was worth it.

He looked up at the semi-final matchup information on the light screen.

[Semi-final Matchups:]

[First Match: Di Wudao vs. Jun Luoyu.]

[Second Match: Su Bai vs. Ye Qingxue.]

Su Bai looked at the name "Ye Qingxue" and remained silent for a moment.

Chaos World. Peak sixth-order. Left eye as black as ink, right eye as white as snow.

She was stronger than Luo Qinghe.

Stronger than Bei Chenyao.

Stronger than any opponent he had encountered in the Points Race.

Su Bai withdrew his gaze and walked out of the world pod.

The light pillar of the winner's passage enveloped him, and the silver-white light lifted his body, slowly ascending.
