Chapter 336: Above the Void - The Decision of Father and Son

The faint morning light illuminated the mortal realm.

However, soon, a dark cloud surged, shrouding the sky above Jade Capital City, casting a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere upon the world.

Pitter-patter...

Before long, rain poured down, and the sky grew dim.

Martial experts above the Grandmaster level could create an aura to shield themselves from the rain, but most people did not have umbrellas and could only be soaked by the rain.

At this moment, someone noticed that two figures were gradually walking out of the magnificent and towering entrance of the Su family.

The leader was dressed in a black robe, with a topknot on his head. He appeared to be in his thirties or forties, with a jade-like face and an aura as majestic as the vast sea.

Su Hongli!

The murmurs and whispers in the vicinity of the Su family instantly disappeared, and countless gazes focused on him all at once.

The atmosphere became heavy and silent, with only the sound of rain falling echoing in the air.

Su Hongli seemed completely oblivious to all of this.

Sweeping his gaze around, he said to the old man in Daoist robes behind him, "Brother, wait here."

The old man nodded and stepped back, silently standing in front of the Su family's gate.

Although he was extremely low-key, his presence couldn't be ignored, just like the land immortals such as Yunlang Shangren, Jihe, and Yunzhongqi!

"Why... does Su Hongli still possess the aura of a Precelestial Martial Ancestor?"

Someone couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief.

This statement caused a ripple of astonishment, leaving many people shocked and unable to believe it.

After ten years of seclusion, Su Hongli hadn't broken through?

If that were the case, what did he have to compete against his son Su Yi?

Even those legendary land immortals couldn't help but feel uncertain.

However, in the face of these curious gazes, Su Hongli remained indifferent, standing calmly in the rain, his expression placid, without uttering a word.

Boom!

Within the gloomy clouded sky, thunder roared, rumbling throughout.

The rain grew heavier and heavier.

Suddenly, a commotion came from a distant place.

"Su Yi is here!"

An exclamation erupted.

Then, the crowd parted in the distance, revealing a young man in a green robe, holding an umbrella, walking slowly through the rain curtain.

His figure was tall, his face handsome, and his eyes deep and tranquil. Despite being scrutinized by countless gazes, he appeared relaxed and at ease.

It was indeed Su Yi.

At that moment, Su Hongli raised his eyes, and a glint of light seemed to flash deep within his gaze, shooting towards the void.

Meanwhile, Su Yi's gaze was fixed on Su Hongli.

The two gazes met, although they were far apart, it felt as if invisible swords clashed.

Bang!

A seemingly invisible impact resonated in the void.

Suddenly, an invisible ripple emanated from the spot where the two stood, rapidly spreading through the empty space between them like turbulent waves, creating a crack that stretched for hundreds of feet.

The pouring rain splattered and scattered around the long crack.

"Divine sense!"

All the legendary land immortals couldn't help but gasp in cold air.

Such power wouldn't be surprising if it appeared in their own bodies.

However, when it manifested in Su Hongli with his Precelestial Martial Ancestor cultivation, and Su Yi with his Grandmaster realm, it became incredibly bewildering!

Su Yi narrowed his eyes.

The Precelestial Martial Ancestor aura emanating from Su Hongli was the most formidable one he had encountered since his reincarnation.

This aura was in perfect harmony with the world's vital energy, standing naturally, and his spirit was refined and condensed without any flaws. It appeared ordinary, but it had already shed all superficialities and returned to its true essence.

"To cultivate divine sense in the Precelestial Martial Ancestor realm, even in the vast land of the Nine Prefectures, is truly remarkable."

"It seems that the secret technique passed down to him by my mother, Ye Yufei, has allowed him to undergo a true transformation in the realm of the Precelestial Martial Ancestor."

"Unfortunately, for me, these powers are still not impressive enough."

Su Yi shook his head slightly.

This Su Hongli might have various unexpected cards and trump cards, concealing various strengths.

However, in Su Yi's previous life, he had seen countless stunning geniuses and had slain innumerable enemies capable of stirring eternal epochs. Having experienced all the worldly affairs for tens of thousands of years, he was considered invincible in the vast land of the Great Wilderness. Regardless of how many means Su Hongli possessed, today he would be defeated!

"A private matter of my Su family has unexpectedly disturbed the world, attracting various friends to come and witness it."

Amidst the pouring rain, Su Hongli spoke calmly, his voice resounding like a resounding bell, echoing through the heavens and earth.

"Very well, today I, Su Hongli, will let all of you bear witness as I slay Su Yi, this treacherous and rebellious scoundrel, and cleanse the Su family's reputation!"

Every word he uttered exuded a majestic aura, resounding in the ears of the onlookers.

Then, under the gaze of countless eyes, Su Hongli stepped forward in the air, soaring upward.

With each step, the void beneath his feet seemed to form invisible stone steps, supporting him as he ascended layer by layer.

To everyone's astonishment, with each step Su Hongli took, his aura surged dramatically.

When he arrived hundreds of feet above the ground...

Boom!

The rain curtains exploded in all directions, centered around Su Hongli.

His aura, on the other hand, seemed to break open the gates of heaven, entering the realm of the legendary land immortals.

Everyone could clearly see that Su Hongli's aura was like a dazzling rainbow, soaring into the sky. Even the heavy dark clouds in the sky were pierced within a range of about ten feet.

Standing in the void, Su Hongli didn't utilize any magical techniques. He simply stood there as if the heavens and earth were lifting him up. Every movement and gesture he made harmonized with the entire world, intertwined and filled with unparalleled elegance. It seemed as if he could wield infinite power with a wave of his hand.

A beam of light shone through the hole, illuminating Su Hongli's tall and solitary figure. He appeared like a divine being, radiant and dazzling, too dazzling to be looked upon directly.

The entire audience was shocked.

Stepping through the air, soaring upward, under the gaze of the masses, he achieved the realm of the legendary land immortals with a single step. Who wouldn't be amazed?

Even the legendary land immortals present couldn't help but shrink their pupils, completely captivated by the sight!

"Oh my God!"

"This is too terrifying!"

Countless cultivators in the vicinity were dumbfounded.

Earlier, people were still puzzled as to why Su Hongli, after ten years of seclusion, still possessed the cultivation of a Precelestial Martial Ancestor. But now, all those doubts vanished in the face of this awe-inspiring scene.

In the eyes of mundane cultivators, Su Hongli at this moment was surrounded by dense dark clouds and dancing lightning above his head, while he stood ethereally. He appeared like a legendary deity!

"The might of his breakthrough is beyond imagination... What kind of terrifying Dao foundation does Su Hongli possess to possess such power immediately after breaking through?"

The face of Silent River from the Shanglin Temple changed.

With a single glance, he could tell that although Su Hongli had just broken through, his current power surpassed even the peak existence of Yu Tianhong in the Transcendent Mortal realm!

It was simply inconceivable.

"To possess the power to control heaven and earth, to condense the aura of the surrounding void, and to display invincible dominance right after breaking through... This... is truly terrifying."

Yun Zhongqi murmured to himself, his expression solemn.

Even Yun Langshang, Master Shifengliu, and True Firepine, these legendary land immortals, were momentarily lost in their thoughts.

At this moment, looking around the entire scene, who would dare to underestimate Su Hongli in the slightest?

"It turns out my father is this formidable!"

Inside the Su family, Su Bonang was shaken, his face filled with fanaticism.

At this moment, he finally understood why his mother had said that if his father made a move, hardly anyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty would be able to contend with him.

"Naturally, your father has been low-key all these years, reluctant to display his power to the world," proclaimed You Qingzhi proudly.

At this moment, the entire Su family erupted with excitement.

"You wretched child, come and meet your death!"

From the void, Su Hongli spoke indifferently, his voice resonating through the heavens and earth.

His robe fluttered, resembling a heavenly god.

Whoosh!

All eyes turned towards Su Yi.

They saw Su Yi folding up his oil-paper umbrella, taking ethereal steps as he ascended into the void. The rain curtain pouring down from above was dispelled by an invisible force before it even reached him.

If Su Hongli exuded a domineering and tyrannical aura, then Su Yi appeared otherworldly, devoid of any worldly airs, transcendent and aloof.

"A wretched child?" Su Yi smiled and said, "I promise you, I will beat you to a pulp later."

He stood in the void, looking at Su Hongli, who was a hundred feet away. The suppressed obsession and resentment that had accumulated within him for many years surged forth.

He no longer suppressed it.

There was no need to suppress it. Today, it was meant to sever this obsession!

Upon hearing the conversation between the father and son, the onlookers' hearts churned. How deep must their hatred be to harbor such animosity towards each other?

Su Hongli looked at Su Yi, not only without anger but with a slight smile. He said, "You, this wretched child, do you really think that inheriting the legacy of ancient powerhouses can overturn the world?"

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Indeed, your profound foundation in the Great Dao is unprecedented, and you possess divine consciousness, mastery of Dao rhymes, and the ability to control spiritual Dao light. Each aspect is enough to amaze true cultivators. Even your proficiency in the sword path far surpasses those so-called land immortals in the mundane world. However..."

At this point, Su Hongli's eyes became deep, his expression indifferent. "In the end, you lose because your cultivation is too low. You exist in the realm of mortals, not as a true transcendent cultivator surpassing the mundane world."

"This is the difference between you and me, just like the distinction between heaven and earth."

As he spoke, Su Hongli's aura continued to grow. The surging elemental energy of heaven and earth poured into him, and his body seemed like an abyss, undergoing a visible transformation in his cultivation, spiritual consciousness, and physical strength at a staggering speed.

In just a short moment of speaking, his recently breakthrough cultivation had at least doubled!

Those scenes made the land immortals in the arena unable to remain calm. Su Yi was already astonishing enough, but he never expected that his father would be equally extraordinary!

"The difference between heaven and earth? Hah, Su Hongli, do you even deserve to discuss the path of cultivation in front of me? If I wish, with a snap of my fingers, I can enter the Yuan Dao, establish the Yuan Mansion, gather the Yuan Stars, and soar into the realm of Spiritual Dao."

Su Yi's lips curled with mockery. "But these things are meaningless and not what I seek. Today, I will show you how a Martial Grandmaster in the mortal realm can suppress a land immortal like you!"

As he spoke, Su Yi's aura surged like a mighty river, reaching for the sky.

Boom!

His robes fluttered, his black hair billowing.

Under the incredulous gazes of everyone, his aura soared to an unprecedented level in the blink of an eye, no less powerful than Su Hongli!

In that instant, silence enveloped the entire venue, and everyone was in awe.

The land immortals in the arena couldn't help but marvel. Compared to when Su Yi had slain You Tianhong, he was now even more formidable with his mastery of the Grandmaster Fifth Realm!

Even Su Hongli couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
