The Red Spirit Demon Lord realized he had seriously underestimated this Protector!
The true forms of these two Protectors were definitely super divine beasts!
Beings like true dragons, whose overwhelming magical power did not rely on their own laws, could simply outmatch opponents by sheer magical power alone, allowing them to fight beyond their level!
Even without being suppressed, it would be very difficult for him to gain any advantage against these two Protectors!
Su Yuan’s true self silently observed, rapidly accumulating battle experience, and his application of Taiyi laws was improving at a lightning pace.
This was reflected in the two Protectors, whose attacks became increasingly fierce!
The Red Spirit Demon Lord noticed that while the total magical power contained in the Protectors' attacks was decreasing, the attack strength was not reduced, maintaining a steady level.
He knew full well that he was being used as a whetstone by the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign to sharpen his subordinates.
But what could he do?
He could only grit his teeth and endure the training!When injured, he took pills; there was nothing else to say.
Thus, a crowd of cultivators watched as a late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal was mercilessly beaten up, while no one in the legion dared to offer even the slightest support.
In this way, the Red Spirit Demon Lord was relentlessly beaten for seven full months!
The onlookers also watched for seven months straight.
The Red Spirit Demon Lord’s face was utterly lost.
At this moment, Su Yuan finally waved his hand, signaling the two Protectors to step back.
The Red Spirit Demon Lord lay weakly in the spatial turbulence, every inch of his body bruised and battered, his aura withered to the extreme.
Su Yuan gazed deeply at the Red Spirit Demon Lord. He could not personally kill him because behind him was the Demon Alliance of the Demon Realm, a huge power led by great Demon Realm experts.
He, a Taiyi Golden Immortal disguised as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, could not possibly act directly.
But though he would not act, he could have the Immortal Realm’s people do it.
His eyes glanced subtly at Captain Xue Feng in the Market.
Then Su Yuan calmly looked at him and said, “You invaded my Seven Stars Market. Since this is the first time among the various realms, I will give you one chance to atone. Leave behind five medium-grade postnatal spiritual treasures, and you can leave!”
The Red Spirit Demon Lord sobered up, bitter beyond words. Five medium-grade postnatal spiritual treasures meant he was practically losing everything!
Still, he gritted his teeth and said, “Senior, I only have three medium-grade postnatal spiritual treasures on hand. Can I use other Taiyi Golden Immortal materials to make up the difference?”
Su Yuan gave him a cold glance and said indifferently, “Fine.”
The Red Spirit Demon Lord reluctantly took out the three medium-grade postnatal spiritual treasures he possessed, then severed his master bond, and also produced a considerable amount of Taiyi-grade materials.
The Second Protector stepped forward and took all the resources the Red Spirit Demon Lord offered.
Then he saluted the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign: “Dao Sovereign, the resources are sufficient.”
Su Yuan said coldly, “You may leave now!”
The Red Spirit Demon Lord hastily bowed respectfully: “Thank you, Dao Sovereign, thank you, Dao Sovereign!”
He hurriedly boarded the giant ship and then steered it to escape into the distance.
Su Yuan watched the giant ship fade away, his gaze still sharp and fierce.
In an instant, Su Yuan and his second and third Nascent Souls vanished completely.
The projection in the Seven Stars Market also disappeared entirely.
Only then did the gathered cultivators wake from their daze and began quietly discussing among themselves.
“Hiss, the Dao Sovereign is so powerful!”
“Wow, a grand late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal expert, and yet he was so embarrassed!”
“Did you see? The two Protectors in the Seven Stars Market are also super strong!”
“I used to think that the Hidden Star Immortal Lord was the strongest Protector Elder in the Seven Stars Market, but that was just for show. The hidden Taiyi Golden Immortal experts are the true Protectors!”
“Guess what, do you think the Taiyi Golden Immortal who just broke through was the Second Protector?”
“Doesn’t look like it. The Second Protector’s methods are extremely fierce, not something a recent breakthrough could do.”
“Hiss, so true! That means...”
Everyone discussed excitedly.
Xue Feng, the Immortal Lord, was also silent and thoughtful.
At that moment, a figure approached him—it was Song Cai, the public face of the Seven Stars Market.
“Immortal Lord Xue Feng, the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign summons you!”
Xue Feng was surprised and quickly said, “Please lead the way!”
He paused, then added, “Just call me Dao Friend Xue Feng; the title Immortal Lord feels too formal!”
“Ha ha, Immortal Lord, you’re too polite! This way, please!” Song Cai laughed heartily, looking proud.
Behind him was Su Yuan. Although Su Yuan had only shown early-stage Golden Immortal power, a late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal respectfully called him Dao Friend!
His posture was straight and upright. Many in the Seven Stars Sect envied his achievements, and he repeatedly felt lucky to have followed Su Yuan’s footsteps.
At the same time, an elder appeared out of nowhere near Chang Lin and smiled, saying, “Dao Friend, how about we go have some tea?”
“Ah, it’s the Protector of Tian Shu! Please!” Chang Lin said with great honor.
At the highest level of the Seven Stars Pagoda, Su Yuan was drinking tea, his aura like that of an ordinary person, simple and plain.
Xue Feng was led in, his expression very respectful: “Greetings, Seven Stars Dao Sovereign!”
“No need for formalities. Haha, Dao Friend Xue Feng, you are too courteous. I just took a step ahead of you. Your temperament is extraordinary, and your potential is astonishing. In the future, you will reach my level, or even surpass me!” Su Yuan said with a smile.
Xue Feng said awkwardly, “Ha ha, Dao Sovereign, please don’t make fun of me. I’m far from breaking through Taiyi peak. The thought of reaching Great Luo Golden Immortal is unimaginable. If I ever get to see your back, I would be content!”
Su Yuan smiled quietly, “Please sit.”
“Yes!”
Xue Feng sat cautiously, barely putting weight down.
The presence of a Great Luo Golden Immortal with supreme divine abilities was too awe-inspiring.
Su Yuan spoke: “I didn’t call you here for anything big. I just want to ask you a favor.”
“Please speak, Dao Sovereign.”
Su Yuan pointed his finger, and a compass appeared out of thin air, floating into Xue Feng’s hand.
Xue Feng looked down; a red dot was flashing on the compass, moving at an extremely fast speed. From the coordinates on the compass, it was clear that the red dot’s movement speed was exaggerated.
Xue Feng looked up at Su Yuan, hesitated, and asked, “Dao Sovereign, is this the real-time location of that person?”
Su Yuan nodded, “Indeed.”
Xue Feng’s breath caught; he immediately understood Su Yuan’s meaning.
Although this was a request, it was also a huge opportunity for Xue Feng!
If he could handle the 618 Legion, the military merits he would gain would be enormous!
Moreover, he already had a grudge with the Red Spirit Demon Lord; this was a golden opportunity handed to him.
“I want you to help me deal with him. Once he’s dealt with, the Seven Stars Market will not be provoked by anyone. Leaving safely will not be so easy!” Su Yuan said calmly. “I will reward you with three medium-grade postnatal spiritual treasures!”
Xue Feng quickly waved his hand: “Dao Sovereign, you are too kind. I already have a grudge with him, and if I succeed, I will earn merit from the Immortal Alliance. This is a great benefit for me. I cannot accept your favor; on the contrary, I should be the one paying the price!”
Su Yuan smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, no need for formalities. I’ll leave this matter to Dao Friend Xue Feng.”
Xue Feng’s expression was solemn: “Dao Sovereign, rest assured, I will deal with that person as soon as possible!”
Su Yuan nodded and said, “If something happens and you cannot kill him, destroy that compass. It will release a force that suppresses the enemy for three breaths.”
Xue Feng was stunned, then solemnly stored the compass: “I understand!”
At this moment, Su Yuan took a sip of tea and said, “I will continue refining my artifacts and will not entertain Dao Friend Xue Feng any longer!”
Xue Feng hurriedly said, “I have things to do as well. Dao Sovereign, farewell!”
Su Yuan said to Song Cai, “See Dao Friend Xue Feng out!”
“Yes!”
Song Cai once again led Xue Feng away.
Su Yuan watched Xue Feng’s departing figure and smiled inwardly: “If I kill the Red Spirit Demon Lord, how much cultivation and law comprehension can I inherit?”
What Su Yuan looked forward to even more was how much fame would spread after what happened here.
At this moment, his fame was rapidly increasing.
The term [Great Being’s Form] was actually a super term for gathering fame. If Su Yuan wished, he could currently disguise himself as a Mixed-Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal.
But doing so would be too arrogant and risky.
Showing the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm now was just right. Mixed-Origin Golden Immortals were extremely rare in both the Immortal and Demon Realms, rarely seen in daily life.
And a Great Luo Golden Immortal would not offend another Great Luo Golden Immortal without reason, at least they would investigate Su Yuan’s background first.
While they investigated, Su Yuan’s strength could improve further.
Su Yuan shook his head and returned to cultivate and refine artifacts within the Nine Suns Spirit Devouring Array.
The Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron had never left the array and was still tempering the materials inside.
Now that his realm had advanced, looking again at the rudimentary low-grade postnatal spiritual treasures inside the cauldron suddenly felt much clearer and simpler.
He took charge of the refining, and one by one, mysterious law restrictions were fused into the internal core of this low-grade postnatal spiritual treasure.
In just a few days, he had embedded nine law restrictions perfectly fused with the rudimentary low-grade postnatal spiritual treasure. The next step was the slow nurturing process.
Su Yuan smiled with satisfaction.
In the unseen depths, his artifact law improved by one degree, and the Fate law rose slightly as well.
Suddenly, Su Yuan frowned; his consciousness instantly crossed distance to look into the Trial Secret Realm.
When his consciousness arrived, he saw Su Da, Su Er, and Su San anxiously searching everywhere for something.
“Big Sister Head, where have you gone?”
“Come out quickly!”
“We made delicious food!”
Su Yuan scanned around and realized that Su Si (Little Cai) was truly missing!
The entire Trial Secret Realm had vanished!
[Time Corridor] activated!
His consciousness entered the Time Corridor and replayed the recent scenes.
Several months ago, when he broke through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, Little Cai had also received a reverse gift from Su Yuan, her strength soaring into the Golden Immortal level!
Then a huge vortex swallowed Little Cai, and she vanished without a trace.
