Chapter 642: Chapter 493: Physical Collapse, Gone with the Wind (5th update)

Su Yu trembled all over, looking at the people in front of him, he suddenly understood. Everyone saw him effortlessly kill these five Holy Envoys, deep down, they were all probably blaming him. They were all wondering why didn’t he act sooner, why didn’t he kill these five Holy Envoys earlier? If he had, perhaps Black Iron City wouldn’t be in such a state of destruction, perhaps there wouldn’t have been so many deaths.

It was just that others couldn’t express it, only Su Yun’s temperament allowed her to shout it out at Su Yu.

A wave of inexpressible desolation rose in Su Yu’s heart. As Ada listened to Su Yun’s cursing, it couldn’t help but glare with wide eyes in anger, intending to retort. However, Su Yu just rubbed Ada’s head and shook his own, indicating Ada to stop talking. Su Yu suddenly felt inexplicable weariness, thinking to himself that it was time for a good rest.

"Why aren’t you saying anything?" Su Yun demanded, her face stained with tears. Seeing Su Yu silent just made her even angrier. Yet, Su Yu simply nodded and murmured, "I... I’m sorry. It’s all my fault... If I had acted sooner, none of this would have happened... It’s all my fault... I’m sorry..."

After glancing at Ada, Su Yu saw the endless sadness in its eyes. It also understood Su Yu’s intentions, so despite the enduring grief within it, Ada roared towards the sky. Amid the subtle blaming and misunderstanding looks of the crowd, Ada transformed into a black flame that circled around Su Yu. Then it carried Su Yu away, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

This scene left everyone baffled. Su Yun couldn’t help but jump up and yell, "Hey, Su Yu, where are you going? What do you mean by this? You can’t just leave because we said a few words!"

When Su Yu reappeared, he had already been transported to the Thunder Elemental Space by Ada.

Ada knew that Su Yu didn’t want to die in front of everyone. He didn’t want others to grieve for him; he just wanted to quietly leave everyone behind in a peaceful place.

The first layer of the Thunder Elemental Space was filled with the comfortable thunder elemental power that Su Yu craved right now. Seeing the grass and trees in front of him, Su Yu slowly sat down. He looked at Ada and softly said, "I’m sorry, Ada... I can’t... accompany you... all the way... to immortality..." He touched Ada’s head, a glint of desolation evident in his gaze.

Ada’s face was full of sadness. For the first time, tears welled up in its eyes as a Category 5 lifeform. Its voice choked up as it said, "No, Su Yu... we... we promised... we promised that we would... both achieve immortality... You... you can’t leave now..."

Su Yu smiled faintly, shaking his head, and looked at his trembling hands. Cracks had begun to appear on his palms, but he couldn’t feel any pain because his senses were getting weaker and weaker. He knew his body soon would thoroughly collapse. He had not reached the supreme stage of an undying spirit. Once his body collapses, Su Yu would die.

This time, even if a true god descended, they wouldn’t be able to save his life.

Back in "Black Iron City", Su Yu’s abrupt departure without a word confused everyone present. Even if Su Yu regretted acting late and causing so many deaths here, it wasn’t like he couldn’t handle it and had to flee, right?

Because Su Yu suddenly vanished, Lei Leian, Zhang Zhongmou and the others who had been further away had only just rushed back. They were all perplexed upon their arrival by Su Yu’s absence.

Among the crowd, only the wooden man sighed, shaking his head in regret, "What a shame, that kid is dying."

The comment shocked everyone. Su Yun glared at him, yelling in disbelief, "What are you talking about?"

The wooden man glared back at her and said, "What do you know, you ignorant girl? Do you think his Black Iron Eighth Stage body could’ve withstood that power exceeding a Demon Divine Beast’s? His body is about to collapse. He just didn’t want to die in front of all of you. That kid was a talented person... What a pity, fate is always jealous of such talents..."

The wooden man’s words left everyone present stunned speechless. Simultaneously, Su Yun, Lei Leian, Ma Ziye, and Zhang Zhongmou screamed out in horror, their faces draining of blood.

The others also suddenly understood, each of them looking noticeably uneasy. Regret welled up in their hearts. They hadn’t understood why Su Yu, so powerful, hadn’t acted earlier, resulting in such heavy casualties. But now, they suddenly realized that their leader had gambled with his life to wield that forbidden power and save them. Yet they, in their ignorance, had once blamed him.

At that moment, everyone was trembling.

"That’s impossible; you’re talking nonsense—" Su Yun screamed at the wooden man, trembling all over. She recalled how she had yelled at Su Yu and his strange behavior. Suddenly, she understood that the wooden man hadn’t lied to her.

Lei Leian’s heart pounded, promptly taking out her scepter and activating its power. She wanted to use the "City Lord’s Seal" to track down Su Yu’s current whereabouts.

The crowned lady also shouted loudly, "The mighty Netherworld God is eternal and indestructible. He will be fine."

Zhang Zhongmou cried out in frustration, "Stop wasting time talking, we need to find Su Yu! Who knows where he is? Who has a way to find him?"

At this moment, everyone recalled the situation at that time. Clearly, Su Yu had utilized Ada’s power to randomly teleport into one of the sixth element spaces.

Currently, there was a total of ten sixth element spaces, and no one knew where he had been randomly teleported to. How could they begin to search?

In an instant, everyone’s hearts filled with urgency. Lei Leian tried to use her scepter to contact Su Yu’s City Lord’s Seal, while the wooden man pondered briefly, made a stride, and suddenly went to the little girl, Feng’er. He said, "Little girl, we have to rely on you this time." He then raised his hand and placed it on Feng’er’s head.

Soon, two pentagrams began to shimmer in Feng’er’s eyes.

The "Sealing Eye" and "Dark Heart" both belonged to the "King of Darkness". Now, the wooden man was utilising the link between the "Sealing Eye" and the "Dark Heart", in order to find Su Yu.

The wooden man, seemingly always nonchalant, was serious at this moment. His eyes slightly opened and in an instant, exactly two beams of light shot out from Feng’er’s eyes, like spotlights piercing through the world.

"I found him," the voice of the wooden man sounded calm, but it caused the entire Black Iron City to suddenly hush. Almost all the people started to gather around.

Inside the "Thunder Elemental Space", Su Yu watched as his hands disintegrated and disappeared into the air bit by bit, while Ada watched sorrowfully from the side. Even for the worldly Ada, she felt helpless at this moment. She didn’t know any way to save Su Yu unless Su Yu’s soul was indestructible. However, Su Yu was far from achieving this state. Even Ada, a naturally born category 5 lifeform, had not yet achieved this state.

Su Yu laid on the grass, looking at the clear blue sky, feeling the life force ebbing from his body. He turned his head with difficulty and saw a grief-stricken Ada. He never thought that Ada would be by his side when he was dying.

"I am sorry... Ada... If there is an afterlife... I hope... we can... meet again..." Su Yu smiled weakly, wanting to reach out to touch Ada, only to realise that his hand had vanished, not just his hand, but his feet, body, flesh - everything - was disappearing...

"Su Yu-" The last sound he heard was Ada’s hoarse cry. Then he faintly seemed to see many shadows, and after that, he knew nothing.

The shadows that Su Yu saw in his final moments were the wooden man, Ma Ziye, Lei Leian, Zhang Zhongmou, Su Yun, Ouyang Nuo, Jin Fuhua, and others who had rushed over.

Using Feng’er’s "Sealing Eye", the wooden man located Su Yu. Then, with the aid of Ouyang Nuo’s fifth category lifeform, the wooden man communicated the creature with his conscious mind, then, without the slightest error, instantly arrived at Su Yu’s location.

At this moment, the undying spirit finally displayed his incredible power, a power that even the Fifth Category lifeforms couldn’t match.

The wooden man led everyone and arrived. What he saw was Ada and beside Ada, Su Yu, who was disintegrating like sand, and the suit on his dissipated body on the ground.

"Su Yu-" At the sight of this, everyone couldn’t help letting out horrified gasps. Regrettably, Su Yu couldn’t hear them at this moment. The wooden man took a step forward, arriving in front of Su Yu in an instant. Then, two yellow beams of light shot out from his eyes, striking Su Yu in the forehead.

With tears streaming down her face, Ada looked at the wooden man, "It’s useless, even if a god appears, he cannot be saved. Su Yu...is dead."

The wooden man gave a faint smile, "Just because a god can’t save him, doesn’t mean she can’t." While saying this, he suddenly pointed at Ma Ziye, "Young girl, summon the inherited candle for me."
