616: Chapter 616 Is this all the tricks you have up your sleeve?

Lord Zhao suddenly shuddered, a sense of dread creeping into his heart.

He spun around abruptly, his face contorted with horror.

It really was... that man!

The man who should have been instantly killed by the Immortal Talisman had reappeared not far away, standing in mid-air and looking down at him.

Moreover, despite taking a direct hit from the Immortal Talisman, he didn't seem to have a single scratch on him.

Even his robes were perfectly intact, as if that Immortal Art from moments ago had been nothing but an illusion.

"You... you... you took a hit from an Immortal Talisman! Why... why are you still alive?! How can you be completely unharmed?! Impossible! I..."

Lord Zhao's eyes widened, his words becoming incoherent.

At this moment, a sudden chill surged through his heart.

It felt as though the crisis of death was drawing near.

"There is no 'why.' It was merely a single Immortal Talisman."

"Too weak."

"Is that all you've got?"

Su Yun's expression was indifferent as he glanced at the utterly panicked Lord Zhao and spoke calmly.

At this time, he released a mysterious and ethereal Aura, making it impossible to discern his true strength; he seemed unfathomable.

"If you have no other tricks, then this battle... should come to an end!"

Su Yun's words carried a soul-shaking majesty.

Having said that, he unhurriedly raised a hand, his white robes fluttering despite the lack of wind.

"Not good..."

Lord Zhao's face paled as his hands formed seals, incantations spilling from his lips.

He hurriedly channeled the Power of Law within him, condensing endless black lightning that blanketed the sky.

Seeing this, Su Yun remained composed and lightly clenched his raised hand.

He released a vast, boundless Power of Law, instantly blocking the black lightning.

In an instant, the world lost its color as endless phantoms of ancient trees reappeared, transforming into the Ancient Tree Realm that enveloped all directions.

Lord Zhao shouted, "Earth Yin Underworld Lightning! Break!"

The endless black lightning exploded violently, its dark radiance surging outward.

Thunderous roars echoed through the clouds, deafening to the ears.

However, the aggressive black lightning was easily blocked by the Ancient Tree Phantoms, then firmly suppressed, forced back again and again.

Within a few breaths, the Underworld Lightning Realm shattered completely, no longer able to withstand the Ancient Tree Realm.

Soon, the entire sky was covered by the endless Ancient Tree Phantoms, each one hundreds of thousands of feet tall, blotting out the sun.

Seeing this, Lord Zhao's expression turned frantic. He spoke recklessly, shouting at Su Yun.

"No... you can't kill me! If you kill me... our Jiyuan Palace will never let you off!"

"Jiyuan Palace? What kind of trash organization dares to threaten me?"

Su Yun said coldly, as if Jiyuan Palace was insignificant in his eyes.

"The waters of the Haomiao Realm run deep. People of the Immortal Realm, I know more than one of you has come here, but if you continue, only death awaits you."

His words seemed directed at Lord Zhao, but they were actually aimed at the person behind him.

Through the Immortal Slave Contract, there was a high probability they could see this scene.

To fabricate a formidable identity, one didn't need to be too explicit.

One just needed to act with maximum prestige.

It was enough to act as if there truly was a powerful Immortal Realm force backing him.

He would leave the rest to the imagination of the Jiyuan Palace Immortals.

Fabricating it this way was more effective than simply making up a specific organization's name.

And now that he was done with the act, it was time to end this.

"Extinguish!" Su Yun reached out and struck forward once more.

Countless Ancient Tree Phantoms suddenly sprouted endless branches, transforming into layers of Towering Wooden Hands that struck toward Lord Zhao with an Aura of world-ending destruction.

The surrounding space was instantly compressed and deformed, shattering completely.

The massive rift in the nearby Void Realm, previously torn open by the Immortal Talisman's strike, grew even larger, and endless spatial turbulence poured out.

"Ten Thousand Feet of Underworld Lightning!"

"Break for me!"

Lord Zhao once again released endless black lightning, but unfortunately, it was completely useless.

He tried to flee, but there was no way to break through the seal.

Then, Lord Zhao took out dozens of Talismans emitting powerful Auras and activated them all at once, hoping to block the Towering Wooden Hands.

But those were not Immortal Talismans; their power was far inferior, so they were entirely useless.

Various barriers made of the Power of Law were also as flimsy as paper, shattered in an instant.

"I refuse to accept this... I finally..."

After a miserable scream, Lord Zhao's body was instantly struck by the countless Towering Wooden Hands.

BOOM—!

The countless Towering Wooden Hands pressed down in a dense mass.

The powerful aftershocks of the Power of Law caused the surrounding Void Realm to vibrate violently once more; the massive commotion spread across nearly the entire Central Region.

As the aftershocks of the Power of Law dissipated, the sky regained its tranquility.

However, the ubiquitous spatial rifts and the gushing spatial turbulence still bore witness to the intensity of the previous battle.

Lord Zhao was utterly destroyed.

Leaving behind only a faint Divine Soul.

This, of course, was also Su Yun's intention.

To obtain information.

Soul searching was naturally faster.

Immediately, Su Yun's gaze sharpened. He looked at Lord Zhao's Divine Soul nearby and reached out to grab it.

Shuu—!

Lord Zhao's Divine Soul was pulled before him by an invisible force.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

Just as Lord Zhao's Divine Soul reached Su Yun, it erupted with a terrifying Aura.

In an instant, profound dao law patterns appeared all over the Divine Soul, emitting a dazzling light.

It looked as if it would explode at any second.

"Playing dirty, are we? Just as I thought! This power is already close to a strike from an Immortal!"

Su Yun frowned slightly, speaking with a hint of exasperation.

He had actually anticipated this; after all, the Immortal Slave Contract would certainly reside within the Divine Soul.

To say there was no Restriction on the Divine Soul? He didn't believe that for a second.

With a thought, Su Yun vanished from the spot.

He naturally wouldn't face it head-on.

It was, after all, a Restriction left by an Immortal.

The moment Su Yun disappeared, Lord Zhao's Divine Soul exploded.

White Dao Rule light enveloped the surroundings, causing the space within a thousand-mile radius to collapse layer by layer, accompanied by an earth-shattering boom.

After the commotion subsided, Su Yun reappeared and saw that Lord Zhao's Divine Soul had been reduced to nothing.

He waved his hand somewhat helplessly. "It seems soul searching is out of the question."

"Let's see... what clues are in Lord Zhao's Storage Ring."

"Fortunately, Lord Zhao's Storage Ring was blown thousands of miles away earlier! Otherwise, it would have been blown to pieces by his Divine Soul's explosion."

A glint flashed in Su Yun's eyes, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He reached out and made a light grasping motion toward a certain direction.

Immediately, a battered Storage Ring appeared in his hand.

"Let's see..."

With his powerful Divine Sense, Su Yun instantly wiped away the lingering trace of a Divine Sense imprint on it.
