Chapter 619: The Curse Erupts

Although those few slightly possessed ancient monsters still retained some sanity and hadn’t completely lost their humanity, their emotions were completely out of control. At this moment, there was only one person in their sights—Su Che!
They refused to be kicked out or accept defeat. Their minds were filled with a nearly insane fantasy: to snatch Su Che, the key to the treasure, and at all costs enter the Battlefield of Immortals and Demons. Even if they had to turn into demons, they wouldn’t give up this opportunity.
Normally, as immortals who had lived for millions of years, their mindset shouldn’t be so extreme or fragile. They should possess a broad heart, willing to let go when necessary. But the problem was that they had already been corrupted by the primordial demonic energy, their inner demons fully awakened, and they were no longer normal people.
Now, seeing Su Che trying to escape under someone else’s protection, how could they possibly allow it? The six possessed old men all roared and chased after him.
Lianyi, Yun Shan, Xue Sha, and the others surrounded Su Che. They thought they needed to carry him in order for him to leave Thunder Star in time, but they were surprised once again by Su Che’s flying ability.
It was a mythic-level speed!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Su Che’s speed far exceeded that of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he had left the Thunder God Temple, flown off Thunder Star, and entered the vast universe.
Such extreme speed made it difficult even for Lianyi and the others to keep up, as they had to use powers far beyond ordinary levels to achieve such speeds. Restricted by the laws of the universe, they naturally didn’t dare do so. But Su Che could act without restraint, using mythic-level skills to surpass ordinary levels in just one aspect, while his true cultivation level remained that of a true Tribulation Stage, immune to the universe’s laws.
In other words, even the laws set by the heavens had loopholes. However, these loopholes weren’t something just anyone could exploit—only someone special like Su Che could take advantage of them.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
In just a few breaths, Su Che left all those ancient monsters far behind, his speed truly incredible.
Such a situation shocked not only the Master of the Dust-Free Valley and Lianyi but even Su Che himself.

After mastering this mythic-level skill, Su Che had never left Thunder Star, nor had he tried to see how far the limits of this flying ability could go. Today was the first time!
“A mythic-level skill that’s actually this powerful? It’s even more formidable than I thought!”
Su Che was overjoyed, and his confidence grew even more.
“Yes, master,” Old Black exclaimed excitedly, “You fly much faster than them!”
“That’s because they all have to suppress their true strength, afraid to unleash powers beyond the mortal realm for fear of attracting the attention of the heavens.”
Su Che thought to himself, “As for me, I don’t need to worry about that. I’m just someone who flies fast during the Tribulation Phase. Haha, even ordinary people have their advantages…”
He was so happy because just this alone gave him the right to compete with those old monsters.
If I fly faster than you, you can’t do anything to me!
It’s easy to imagine that if they wanted to catch up, they would have to reveal powers beyond the mortal realm. The consequence would be that they would be taken away by the heavens before they could catch up, sent to the Immortal Realm, or even punished by divine retribution.
From this, Su Che and Old Black realized that mythic-level skills were far more complex than they initially thought, with other mysteries hidden within.
In other words, there was still potential to be explored in other aspects.
“I told you! Every layer of the Immortal Prison holds infinite potential and will continue to bring you more surprises, master,” Old Black shouted again.
“You, the spirit of the Immortal Prison, are always talking after the fact,” Su Che teased him.
“Master, that’s really heartless of you!”
Old Black felt deeply wronged…
Behind them, Jue Chen, Lian Yi, and the others watched as Su Che flew farther and farther away, almost out of sight. They couldn’t help but worry, “Could that kid take this chance to leave us behind and run away?”
“But how can he fly that fast? This isn’t the level of power one should have in the mortal realm!”
Still, they didn’t dare unleash their true strength to chase after Su Che. If they were sent back to the Immortal Realm by the laws of the universe, it wouldn’t just mean losing the opportunity to fight in the Immortal Demon Battlefield.
Returning to the Immortal Realm to settle their grudges was each of their desires, but now wasn’t the time!
Fortunately, Su Che didn’t go too far and soon slowed down, staying within their sight but still far ahead.

Soon, they were already millions of miles away from Thunder Star. At such a distance, no matter how intense the battle became, it could no longer affect Thunder Star.
Swish!
Su Che suddenly stopped, hovering in the starry sky, quietly waiting for those old monsters to catch up.
A few breaths later, over thirty of those old monsters flew over and gathered around Su Che. Their gazes were quite strange—they realized now that this young man, at this early stage of the Tribulation Phase, was not as easy to control as they had thought. They had truly underestimated him!
However, the situation didn’t allow them to overthink things, because those six possessed, blood-red-eyed monsters had also caught up. They had no time for such reflections; their sole goal was to seize Su Che first.
Attack first, worry about the rest later!
Roar!
With beast-like howls, the six possessed monsters arrived in this starry region without pause and charged straight toward Su Che’s location.
Boom, boom, boom…
Six completely different attack techniques tore through the starry sky and swept toward them.
Without hesitation, they launched a fierce assault.
With thunderous booms, the void shattered and space trembled. The combined attacks of those six monsters could easily destroy a giant planet like Thunder Star.
Lao He was instantly astonished, “It seems like all of them are offensive Great Path techniques. Have these old bastards really gone mad? Using their ultimate moves right away—do they intend to wipe you out completely?”
“They still know their limits,” Su Che replied calmly in his mind. “The intensity of their attacks is merely the peak of mortal power; it’s not their true strength. This shows that they still retain some sense of reason.”
Faced with the powerful attacks from those six true immortals of the immortal realm, Su Che remained motionless, showing no reaction—adopting a stance of neither dodging nor fighting back.
“I don’t need to act myself; someone will help me block these attacks.”
As expected, as Su Che had predicted, the twenty-six old monsters, including Ripple and Cloud Fan, all joined forces, unleashing their most skilled techniques in a single combined strike. This not only nullified the attacks of those six possessed monsters but also forced them to retreat thousands of miles.
There were only six possessed ones, while there were over twenty defenders. With such a huge disparity in numbers, victory by the weaker side was impossible—it was inevitable.
Among the defenders, only one person did not participate: the aloof Master of Absolute Dust Valley.

At that moment, he smiled and transmitted a message to Su Che, saying, “You haven’t even gone to the Immortal Realm yet, and you’ve already become the target of many immortals competing for you. Su Che, your luck is truly enviable.”
“Just envy?”
Su Che asked back insinuatingly, “Don’t you have any other thoughts? For example…”
The Master of the Dust-Free Valley laughed heartily and replied, “For example, first using a great curse spell to ambush you, then using the pretext of saving you to uncover your secrets?”
Su Che’s brows twitched. He hadn’t expected him to say it so directly, appearing completely honest.
The Master of the Dust-Free Valley continued, “I don’t want to defend myself, because I really don’t care what you think of me. Right now, I just want to warn you—if I am indeed the one who ambushed you, then the curse power lurking within you should be at its most active now.”
“What do you mean?”
Su Che’s heart lurched. Before he could fully understand his words, he felt a strange sensation emerging from within his body and sweeping through him instantly.
It was an extremely cold feeling, as if he had suddenly fallen into the coldest and dirtiest pond in the world—not only bone-chilling cold but also an indescribable sense of filth and disgust.
Huh…
The curse’s damage spread from within outward. Su Che’s body trembled as he realized this was an extremely debilitating negative effect, like an ordinary person who was gravely ill, collapsed in bed, with no strength left in his entire body.
Of course, such a debilitating curse didn’t just leave one weak—it also caused severe deterioration of bodily functions. If not rescued in time, the next steps would be difficulty breathing, a foul smell all over the body, dirty nostrils and ears, loose teeth, and hair loss.
Extreme weakness would result in losing at least 80% of one’s vitality…
“I guessed right, didn’t I?”
The Master of the Dust-Free Valley keenly noticed some changes in Su Che’s expression and said slowly, “Of course. You can consider it all my doing.”
“It’s not you!”
Su Che gasped for breath and said firmly, “Now, I’m even more certain it’s not you.”
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t care.”
The Master of the Dust-Free Valley waved his hand nonchalantly. “But if you need my help, I’m willing to assist.”
“No need!”
Su Che’s once upright body now seemed hunched, his face pale and ugly, but he still gritted his teeth and said, “Even if it’s not you, I can tell you have ulterior motives toward me too!”

“Haha!” Jue Chen laughed. “You saw through me. I knew it—you kid only get more cunning!”
Although they were communicating through telepathy, at this moment, Lianyi, Yun Shan, and the others had already noticed something was wrong with Su Che’s condition, so they turned to look.
It was obvious—the curse had taken effect!
“Su Che, how are you?”
Lianyi asked urgently, “If you can’t hold on, I’ll step in. Don’t force yourself!”
“No need!”
Su Che’s joints cracked loudly as his entire body, like a inflated human skin bag, began to twist and deform in a highly bizarre way, looking extremely shocking and terrifying.
Yet he still stubbornly insisted, “A mere curse spell? It can’t stop me!”
