Chapter 559: The Contest for the Witch God’s Order (Part 2)

Seeing Su Che pick up the amethyst long sword, the people on the other side grew nervously: Could it be that this amethyst long sword was even more powerful than those two red lights earlier?
“Who dies first?”
Su Che asked coldly, holding the sword. From this moment on, he would play the role of a god of death in the Spirit Realm.
The ten people on the other side remained silent. A few of them were silently communicating, quickly discussing how to divide their forces to deal with Su Che and his companion. But suddenly…
Swish!
Red light reappeared, and Su Che’s eyes flashed again. He hadn’t used the amethyst long sword at all—instead, it was the Destruction Divine Art, filled with the power of Destruction Origin, targeting any cultivator in the late Lingxu stage.
The result was the same: that person also didn’t utter a word before being struck by the red light and instantly turned into a pile of crimson dust, dying completely.
Another casualty!
“Despicable!”
Several Tribulation Heavenly Lords shouted in anger, caught off guard once again by Su Che’s almost ambush-like tactics.
Su Che smiled silently, unbothered.
To be honest, it wasn’t that these people were incompetent. It was simply that at close range, light-based attacks were too fast to dodge. Normally, among mortal divine arts, light-based attacks weren’t very damaging, and advanced cultivators had their own methods to resist such attacks. But they never expected the red light emitted by Su Che to be so terrifying—touching it meant certain death, impossible to resist.
They didn’t realize that the power of Destruction Origin wielded by the Sky-Devouring Rat was no weaker than the top ten great arts in the Three Thousand Great Paths—how could mortal techniques possibly withstand it?
Su Che effortlessly killed the second person. This time, the remaining three late Lingxu cultivators were terrified, realizing that Su Che could unleash such terrifying divine arts freely, seemingly without any limits or restraint.
If struck by that red light, even several lives wouldn’t be enough to make amends—this couldn’t go on!
Immediately, two of them backed down. Without a word, they took to the air, finally realizing the terrifying nature of this peerless demon, Tian Yu, and wanting to retreat.
“Too late!”
Su Che snorted coldly. Swish! Red light flashed in his eyes again. At the same time, he swung his long sword forcefully, and a purple blade flash appeared—its speed seemingly even greater than that of the crimson Destruction Light.
In truth, both the Destruction Light and the purple blade flash were extremely fast, making it hard to distinguish which was faster; it could only be judged by intuition.
Bang! Bang!

It was almost just a fraction of a moment—two cultivators in the late Lingxu stage who had just taken to the sky were turned into red powder filling the air, while the other emitted a vast expanse of purple light like fireworks. It could be said that both died gloriously mid-air, with stunning visual effects. With just one glance and a slash, Su Che eliminated the two late Lingxu cultivators instantly. After a thousand years of cultivation, he had truly changed greatly. Such a dramatic transformation not only filled Su Che with excitement but also deeply moved Li Jiu and Princess Xueyu, who were observing from miles away. “His strength has improved so much?” Li Jiu muttered with a grim expression. “If it were me, it wouldn’t be this easy to kill two late Lingxu cultivators…” Princess Xueyu, though calm on the surface, was also deeply perturbed. “His progress is so rapid. If this continues, we’ll really be at a loss against him. No, we must seize the chance to act soon.” Both of these observers at the Mahayana stage felt the same way. What about those who were directly facing Su Che in the courtyard? “Too fast!” “His killing methods are incredibly fast—people don’t even have time to react.” “These two of his attack techniques clearly aren’t from the mortal world. Could they be techniques from the immortal realm? How can us mortals resist them?” The six Tribulation Heavenly Lords were secretly alarmed but managed to maintain composure on the surface. “This Tian Yu is so terrifying. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have come. If I had known, I should have retreated earlier!” The remaining late Lingxu cultivator was pale—he realized that Su Che targeted the weakest first, starting with them at the Lingxu stage. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret now. He was the fool Su Che had mentioned earlier—someone who didn’t know how to avoid disaster! The last of these powerful Lingxu cultivators also had a distinguished appearance, exuding a majestic presence. But at that moment, his gaze and expression were filled with fear, greatly undermining his aura. Of course, with his life on the line, he had no time to care about his aura. Everything happened too quickly—he didn’t even have time to beg for mercy. Moreover, in front of so many people, he couldn’t bear to ask for mercy and could only look at Su Che with a pitiful expression. “As expected, it’s too late!”

Su Che sneered slightly. Without turning his head or raising his hand, merely by shifting his gaze slightly and fixing it on him, he could unleash the Light of Destruction… A gaze could kill—was there any faster way to kill in this world?
“Ah!”
The Cultivator of the Void Realms realized his fate the moment Su Che sneered. Before Su Che could release the Light of Destruction, he let out a loud scream and moved ten feet to the left.
What good was moving just ten feet? No matter how fast he was, could he outpace the Light of Destruction?
Indeed, his evasion tactic was quite clever—he didn’t try to avoid the light but found a decent shield instead. Faced with the threat of death, he no longer cared about his dignity and hid behind those Heavenly Lords in the Tribulation Phase, using them as human shields.
“Scoundrel!”
The six Heavenly Lords who intended to stop Su Che cursed inwardly. They had originally wanted to save him, but now they wished they could kick such a scoundrel right in front of Su Che.
“Elders, save me!”
The Cultivator of the Void Realms also knew his actions were unacceptable, so he tried to make amends with those words.
With a formidable enemy before them, the six Heavenly Lords didn’t bother arguing. Whoosh whoosh whoosh—whoosh, four of them launched their attacks at Su Che, while the other two combined their powers to create a defensive barrier to withstand his Light of Destruction and the blade’s purple crystal light.
The difference between the Tribulation Phase and the Void Realms was enormous, not to mention the powerful attacks launched by four people together. If those attacks landed, not only would Su Che’s body and the Tianbao Pavilion’s shops be destroyed, but perhaps even half of Jiayu City would be reduced to ruins.
At this point, the six Heavenly Lords no longer cared about capturing Su Che alive—they just wanted to seize the Witch God Token from him. Faced with Su Che’s bizarre yet terrifying attack methods, their only priority was self-preservation.
At such a distance, Su Che should have had no time to dodge and would have to endure all those attacks head-on. The key was whether he could withstand them.
Unexpectedly, Su Che’s free left hand instantly grabbed a small, exquisite blue-and-white porcelain vase, swayed it slightly forward, and silently uttered the word “collect.”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—whoosh…
The attack powers of the four Heavenly Lords, regardless of their strength or energy, were all absorbed by that tiny porcelain vase, vanishing without a trace, as if they had sunk into the sea.
“A top-tier Dao artifact?”

The two Tribulation Heavenly Kings couldn’t help but exclaim in shock. They truly hadn’t expected that Su Che not only had formidable offensive capabilities but also possessed the most precious supreme Dao artifacts in the Spirit Realm in terms of defense.

In the Spirit Realm, aside from a very small number of low-grade immortal artifacts that were regarded as sacred treasures by various factions and could not be used easily, there were also supreme Dao artifacts that dominated the world.

Supreme Dao artifacts were extremely rare; only those at the Mahayana stage could successfully forge them. Moreover, the materials required to create such artifacts were also exceedingly difficult to obtain.

Generally, only those Mahayana-stage cultivators on the verge of ascension would bestow their supreme Dao artifacts on the younger generations in their sects or families. This was because, upon ascending, worldly items could not be taken to the Immortal Realm. Even if worldly magic treasures were taken there, they would become worthless trash.

But that wasn’t all. What troubled these six Tribulation Heavenly Kings the most was that the small porcelain bottle in Su Che’s hands wasn’t just an ordinary supreme Dao artifact—it was likely the rarest type of special magic artifact among them.

By normal logic, since Su Che was only at the Refining Void stage, he should not be able to control offensive or defensive supreme Dao artifacts; he should only be able to manipulate top-tier Dao artifacts. However, special magic artifacts fell outside this rule.

The blue-and-white porcelain bottle in Su Che’s hands was precisely such a special magic artifact. Its function wasn’t primarily for attack or defense but for absorbing various types of energy.

As a supreme Dao artifact, it could absorb most of the energy in the mortal world, including the divine powers released by others. Of course, this applied to most cases, not all. If used to absorb the attack powers of Mahayana-stage cultivators, it would be extremely dangerous.

At this moment, since Su Che was only dealing with a few cultivators at the Tribulation stage, it shouldn’t be a problem—indeed, it might even be just right.

This blue-and-white porcelain bottle came from the Immortal Realm. On the day the Witch God returned, Su Che had picked it out carelessly from the pile of Dao artifacts he discarded as trash.

Because it was a special magic artifact, Su Che could barely control it after reaching the mid-Refining Void stage.

While absorbing the opponents’ attack powers, Su Che also unleashed his full strength—flashes of Destruction Light appeared one after another, and his amethyst crystal sword was swung repeatedly. In an instant, four beams of Destruction Light and six beams from his amethyst sword shot toward the six Tribulation Heavenly Kings.

Using his two strongest offensive techniques for the first time against a cultivator at the Tribulation stage, Su Che was highly motivated and confident, but he couldn’t be 100% sure that just such an attack wave would be enough to seriously harm his opponent. After all, they were six fighting together, having a numerical advantage, rather than in a one-on-one duel…
