Chapter 1281: Chapter 955 Muddying the Waters to Catch Fish

With the surging tide of beasts mounting their attack, countless ancient behemoths charged at the radiant barrier. The barrier, which had previously been immovable, began to shake and flutter.

Even with the strong energy of the radiant barrier, it could not withstand the impact of so many ancient behemoths.

At the "Hall of Spirit Heroes," which had been silent until now, numerous shadows began to flit about within the grand temples, and one after another, "Valiant Death Knights" clad in radiant armor appeared.

Just as Su Yu had anticipated, in the face of the ancient behemoths’ assault, the powerful Chief of Heroic Spirits and the Sky-gazing Giant Eye did not intervene. For them, this was also a rare opportunity to train the Valiant Death Knights, who were dispatched team by team.

The Valiant Death Knights were not exceptionally strong on an individual basis, but when a thousand worked together as one, they could exhibit the power of Peak Immortality or higher. At that moment, each group of a thousand formed a "spear formation," like the tips of long spears puncturing the beast tide of the ancient behemoths from all directions.

Su Yu and Ada hid within the "Absolute Sealing Array." Ada squinted slightly, beginning to sense the surroundings, while Su Yu relied on his vision to observe.

Finding Yuan Niping amid the countless ancient behemoths and the throngs of Valiant Death Knights was far from easy.

The situation was unfolding as Su Yu had predicted: the "Valiant Death Knights" were deployed to hold back the ancient behemoths. Squadrons of Valiant Death Knights, with their overwhelming strength, annihilated masses of ancient behemoths upon contact.

"Ada, how’s it going?" Su Yu soon gave up; these Valiant Death Knights looked almost identical from the outside, making it nearly impossible to find Yuan Niping.

Ada locked her consciousness onto one of the teams of a thousand Valiant Death Knights, then began sensing and eliminating possibilities one by one. Thankfully, there weren’t an absurd number of Valiant Death Knights, which would have made finding Yuan Niping even more difficult.

Finally, when Ada locked onto the fourth team of Valiant Death Knights, her expression changed as she said, "Su Yu, I’ve found her."

"Hmm," Su Yu uttered, "Let’s go." His hands moved continuously, building layer upon layer of the "Absolute Sealing Array" around them.

More than ever, they could not reveal their own presence. Once they alerted certain beings within the Hall of Spirit Heroes, rescuing Lei Leian would become nearly impossible.

Having identified Yuan Niping, Su Yu followed Ada’s guidance and approached stealthily, wrapped in the "Absolute Sealing Array," taking no risks.

Just covering this short distance took them a full ten minutes before they finally managed to approach Yuan Niping quietly.

Ada released a gentle force, quietly neutralizing the energy that unintentionally bumped into the Absolute Sealing Array. Su Yu took a deep breath, his body already having mutated into a golden form. He had only one chance to grab Yuan Niping and escape in an instant. Fortunately, with billions of ancient behemoths crammed into this space and countless more creatures outside, their chaotic life signals made it unlikely for the powerful beings inside the Hall of Spirit Heroes, like the Sky-gazing Giant Eye or the Chief of Heroic Spirits, to notice anything unless they were paying specific attention to Yuan Niping’s group of Valiant Death Knights.

If, at that moment, they were monitoring this team of Valiant Death Knights, they would surely detect the anomaly. And with a bit of deduction, they would naturally realize that the appearance of the ancient behemoths here was Su Yu and Ada’s stratagem.

Rescuing Lei Leian next would be problematic.

Su Yu inhaled slightly, glanced at Ada, who nodded back at him, and almost simultaneously, Su Yu stepped out of the "Absolute Sealing Array," squeezing himself into the midst of the thousand Valiant Death Knights.

Caught off guard by the sudden intrusion of a golden figure, the thousand Valiant Death Knights were surprised and reacted too slowly. Su Yu’s hand shot out, instantly pressing down on the shoulder of the Valiant Death Knight Ada had identified as Yuan Niping.

With Su Yu’s palm pressing down, the Valiant Death Knight grunted as if crushed by a mountain, utterly unable to move.

Su Yu’s fingertip stretched out, and in one ten-thousandth of a second, it was already pressing on the back of her neck at a vital point. The Valiant Death Knight’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted instantly.

The surrounding Valiant Death Knights began to react, but Su Yu wrapped an arm around the unconscious Valiant Death Knight, pushing backward against another behind him. Ada leaped out, summoning a "pit" that took Su Yu and the unconscious Valiant Death Knight with her, disappearing from the spot.

Once again, Su Yu activated the "Absolute Sealing Array," and when they reemerged in the void, they were billions of kilometers away from the "Hall of Spirit Heroes" in another part of the void.

Su Yu pulled off the unconscious Valiant Death Knight’s mask to reveal the pale face of a woman, indeed Yuan Niping.

Su Yu exhaled in relief and asked, "Ada, how did it go? Were we detected just now?"

Ada shook her head with a smile, "With the Chief of Heroic Spirits’ temperament, if he had noticed, he would’ve come charging out in a rage right then and there."

Su Yu nodded. The plan to rescue Yuan Niping had succeeded, and they had also successfully provoked the ancient behemoths into attacking the Hall of Spirit Heroes. Now it was time to carry out the second step of the mission, to rescue Lei Leian.

"Su Yu, should we send her back first?" Ada asked, pointing at the unconscious Yuan Niping.

Su Yu hummed in affirmation, brought his hands together, and cast several restraints on the unconscious Yuan Niping before saying, "Ada, take her back and leave her in the care of Old Qin and the others for now. We’ll discuss the specifics after we’ve rescued Lei Leian."

He knew that Yuan Niping was not herself at the moment and feared that once she awoke, she might want to return to the Hall of Spirit Heroes. Therefore, he cast multiple restraints on her to temporarily prevent her from waking up on her own.

Ada nodded, took Yuan Niping with her, summoned the power of the "Abyss," and began the transmission. Meanwhile, Su Yu continued to set up the "Absolute Sealing Array," enveloping himself as he quietly crept in the direction of the Hall of Spirit Heroes once more.

In a short amount of time, the ferocity of the ancient behemoths attacking the Hall of Spirit Heroes intensified. The giants that emerged grew increasingly massive, with many surpassing one thousand meters in length, including an absolute ruler of the behemoths that measured one thousand three hundred meters, and even a rare few reaching one thousand five hundred meters.

Concealing his breath, Su Yu quietly waited as countless ancient behemoths died around the Hall of Spirit Heroes. As the attack of the behemoths grew fiercer and their strength increased, casualties began to appear among the Valiant Death Knights.

From the bodies of the deceased Valiant Death Knights erupted bursts of radiant energy, which were absorbed by the surrounding Death Knights, strengthening those who remained.

Hundreds of billions of ancient behemoths perished within a short period, with the casualty count reaching the billions. Heaps of corpses piled up around the area, and the dense scent of blood and aura of death enshrouded the Hall of Spirit Heroes.

As time elapsed, the Valiant Death Knights began to falter under the assault. Billions of ancient behemoths continuously slammed into the radiant barrier that enveloped the Hall of Spirit Heroes.

Though the energy of the radiant barrier was tremendously powerful, it could not withstand the relentless onslaught of billions of behemoths. It buckled and wavered, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Finally, with a hum of anger, just as the barrier was about to fail, a terrifying crack tore open in the void above, and an eyeball emerged.

The Sky-gazing Giant Eye had appeared.

With the opening of the Giant Eye, a dreadful and annihilating energy beam shot forth, swinging through the tide of ancient behemoths.

The devastating energy beam swept across, instantly reducing countless ancient behemoths to ashes, exploding into a bloody rain that filled the sky.

The Sky-gazing Giant Eye, with limitless might, unleashed wave after wave of terrifying destructive energy, continuously firing at the ancient behemoths.

Each swath taken by the beam destroyed a vast number of behemoths. With just one move from the Sky-gazing Giant Eye, it immediately stemmed the surging tide of the beasts. The remaining Valiant Death Knights counterattacked with all their might, and the previously wavering radiant barrier swiftly regained stability.

The Sky-gazing Giant Eye released its stored energy without reservation against the ancient behemoths. Su Yu, who was hiding within the "Absolute Sealing Array," observed the power of the Sky-gazing Giant Eye, frowning slightly. The strength of the Giant Eye, now fully unleashing its power, was certainly not inferior to the Aztec Immortal when invoking the "Blue Ocean Sun."

"To think that Yana’s father could be so powerful. It seems that to save Yana, he indeed expended unimaginable strength, no wonder he eventually grew weary..." Su Yu reflected silently while gazing at the Sky-gazing Giant Eye from afar, his thoughts drifting towards Yana.

Noah’s Ark had taken Yana away. He wondered how she was now and where she might be.

The image of that stubborn and proud girl, wearing a sun hat and holding a black box, was deeply etched in Su Yu’s memory, unforgettable for all time.

Thinking of Yana, he couldn’t help but remember the things she once said about her mother, how her mother had been killed. The Sky-gazing Giant Eye, knowing it could not avenge her, became disheartened and henceforth retreated to guard the order of the Upper Realm, taking the place of Yana’s deceased mother, while also ruling over the Black Iron World.

Now, having seen the true strength of the Sky-gazing Giant Eye, not only was it not beneath Peak Immortality, but it was even a few notches stronger than typical Peak Immortal beings. It was clear that the Sky-gazing Giant Eye had not revealed the full extent of its power yet.

With the Sky-gazing Giant Eye being so powerful, who could have been the killer who took Yana’s mother’s life? Why couldn’t even the Sky-gazing Giant Eye avenge her death? Could it be that the killer was even mightier than the current Sky-gazing Giant Eye?

Could it be, that the killer was a true god?

Su Yu thought through many things while silently watching the far-off Sky-gazing Giant Eye work in tandem with the Valiant Death Knights, continuously bombarding the ancient behemoths. Soon, he received a message from Ada. At the same moment, Ada appeared beside him.

"Yuan Niping has been sent back, and Qin Jiagui is so overjoyed that he’s weeping," Ada said calmly. Su Yu silently nodded, saying nothing, wondering how Qin Jiagui would react if he knew the true state of Yuan Niping.
