Chapter 96

Chapter 96

His entire body was imbued with the terrifying power of laws. Thunder and lightning danced in his palm like obedient pets. He wasn’t merely controlling the Law of Thunder—he was the Law of Thunder itself!

If this man were to strike, aside from Su Huangquan who might barely survive with all his trump cards exhausted, everyone else would be reduced to ashes in an instant!

They were all geniuses, each having stepped into the so-called Eight Bans, capable of battling those of higher realms. But in the face of such an immense gap in cultivation…

It felt as if a mountain had pressed down on all their chests.

Even Su Nan couldn’t help but frown. He was now at the fifth layer of the Star Holding realm and could battle someone a whole major realm higher, such as Huaxu Ran. But when facing this old monster—just one step away from the Moon Grasping realm—even he wasn’t confident he could survive a single blow.

It was true that he had once, in the External Manifestation realm, killed a Star Holding expert across two major realms.

But from Star Holding onward, true cultivation begins—comprehending the power of laws, seeking the essence of the Dao.

At such levels, two major realm gaps meant bearing the crushing weight of the heavens themselves!

“Kill him!! Kill him for me!! What damn ‘Invincible Path’?!”

“Kill him!!” Huaxu Ran roared with unrestrained fury.

“Very well—as you wish, Young Master Ran.”

Even the guardian’s title had changed. Once a guardian interferes in a same-generation battle, the challenger forfeits his eligibility.

Then, the guardian made no further statement.

He merely raised his hand and clenched the air.

At once, a radiant full moon manifested in the sky, illuminating all of heaven. A colossal hand, shrouded in thunder, descended to the mortal world!

“Thunder Emperor Art: Palm of the Heavens!”

It was exactly the same technique Huaxu Ran had used earlier—but the difference in power between the two was like heaven and earth.

If Huaxu Ran’s palm was a thunderstrike condensed from lightning, then this guardian’s was a world forged from the Law of Thunder itself!

“Gods perish! Devils are annihilated!”

“Only I remain supreme!!” Su Nan wasted no time and activated his most powerful combat art!

Phantom shadows of gods and devils filled the sky, dissolving into pure Dao power that flowed into his body.

He raised both arms skyward and let out a furious roar—

“Kill!!”

Instantly, a divine manifestation identical to himself exploded forth.

Surrounded by divine radiance and demonic aura, Su Nan resembled the sovereign of gods and devils, forcefully withstanding the thunderous palm.

“Oh? As expected of one who dares to reopen the Invincible Path…”

“What a pity… If only you were one of my clan’s prodigies.” The old man’s eyes held a trace of regret.

But only for a moment—he then struck again.

BOOM!!!

Another thunderous palm descended from the heavens.

“The gap is too great! No matter how monstrous this youth is, he can’t change the outcome!”

“Sigh! Who would’ve thought such a talent would fall like this?”

“Maybe not. A family that could raise such a prodigy—would they really have no guardian?”

All other factions present sighed in pity as they watched the scene unfold in the sky.

It had been so many years since anyone had reopened the Invincible Path. Now, just as a genius emerged, the despicable old relic of the Huaxu Clan sought to snuff him out with brute force.

Just when everyone believed Su Nan would surely perish under the thunderous palm—

“Shameless to the extreme!!”

A thunderous, wrath-filled voice boomed out.

Then—

A golden tidal wave slowly surged forth from the horizon. Endless laws roared and howled through the heavens.

Wherever it passed, everything was dyed a radiant gold.

BOOM!!

In the sky above, the radiant thunder palm—under the golden tide’s sweep—vanished like a bubble.

To everyone’s astonishment, a tall figure clad in golden robes appeared before Su Nan. His face was obscured and unreadable.

“Your guardian has arrived late. May the young master forgive me.”

The man stood before Su Nan. Though his aura was suppressed like that of an ordinary servant, all present were shaken to their core.

Because behind him, a brilliant sun rose to the heavens—

A second sun in the sky—Sun Veiling Realm!!

This man was a King level powerhouse!

[Title: Royal Guardian]

[No boundaries, no realms—born to protect the Dao. Grows stronger as the enemy does.]

This was a system-bestowed guardian. Normally without combat capability—but once activated, his strength always exceeded the enemy by just a sliver.

However, this guardian could not be used in normal combat—only to protect clan members. He was useless in peer-level fights but would bare his fangs the moment an elder struck shamelessly.

This was Su Zhou’s ultimate insurance for Su Nan to walk the Invincible Path once again!

“K-King realm!!”

Even the old man could no longer maintain composure.

A King-level powerhouse—someone in the Sun Veiling realm—was humbly calling this youth ‘Young Master’ and guarding his path!

What terrifying clan… What unimaginable power!!

The old man began to tremble. Even the moon-shaped divine image behind him started to crack.

To have provoked such a family—had he sealed his own doom?

Quickly regaining composure, the old man bowed low and said:

“I did not know such a noble King had arrived!”

“Please forgive my offense!”

“If this lowly failure of a genius can appease your wrath, then do as you please!”

A disgraced sequence candidate—stripped of eligibility—was worth nothing. If he could be used to quell the wrath of such a family, then it would be more than worth it.

But the guardian didn’t even look at him.

He instead turned to the sky, sensing countless eyes across the heavens watching this battle.

“The Sovereign has decreed—peer-level battles are allowed.”

“If any elders interfere—they die!!”

The moment those words fell, the old man felt something terribly wrong.

He tried to flee, immediately activating a secret technique.

Countless arcs of lightning tore open space—each carrying a fragment of his soul and body.

If even one could escape, he would revive.

“I must inform the clan leader of this!!” he thought in panic.

But what he saw—Was a golden bubble.

“A bubble…?” he murmured in confusion.

“Where did that bubble come from…?”

And then his consciousness began to dissolve.

It was only then he realized—

“Oh… that’s me…”

And all was obliterated.

Outside, the golden tide swept across the sky. All thunder was reduced to bubbles and faded away.

Instantly, all eyes across the heavens retracted.

A King level guardian standing watch—there could be no doubt that Su Nan’s background was terrifying.

The members of the Mo Clan were pale as death.

After today, the Mo Clan would cease to exist.

The guardian then turned to the despairing Mo Clan crowd. With a wave of his hand, a woman was engulfed by golden waves.

“Why are you taking my mother?” Mo Jian asked, lifting his head.

“Young master wishes to execute her personally. It is her honor,” the guardian replied.

“As for your bone… the young master will come take them himself.”

Su Zhou had instructed in advance—bring back the true culprit, and let Su Hao deal with them personally.

“In the future, I will kill him myself.” Mo Jian said coldly.

“Hmph! No one’s life is free of regrets. No need to be so troublesome,” Su Xu said while watching Mo Jian.

This person was far too calm. That kind of personality was dangerous!

Compared to letting little Hao’er fulfill his wish, safety was more important!

With that, Su Xu no longer hesitated and struck out—

But—

Mo Jian crushed a token!

Instantly, a void gate appeared and swallowed him whole.
