Yang Hu was the last person to die. After killing so many people, including two Heaven Index geniuses and so many people with higher cultivation levels, Su Yu's source qi finally started transforming. The second stage was within reach. He had received his heavenly rewards from the heavenly laws. And the heavenly laws would usually adjust the rewards depending on the condition of the recipient. His transformation felt near completion, but he still felt like something was missing. Su Yu sank into thought. Without the nine-leaf skylotus, would he need to kill an Invincible to complete further transformations? He was only near the completion of his second transformation even after killing so many geniuses. Wouldn't the rewards of killing all these people be comparable to the rewards of killing an Invincible? "The heavens are so unfair to me!" Su Yu sighed as he lamented his lack of rewards. Why could others receive so many rewards by simply killing some random people? Nearby, Xing Yue watched coldly. The heavens were unfair toward him? Was he not embarrassed when saying something like that? Su Yu sighed again. He decided to put the matter aside and focus on his blood essence for now. Since he couldn't get any blood essence from Zhankui, he had to focus on Yang Hu's blood essence. He started the extraction process from the gathered blood. After a while, six drops of blood essence were gathered. Each drop was emanating a powerful aura. That was the maximum amount he could extract. "This is not enough." Then again, he could only accept it. He looked at his Mark of Civilization and noted that there were now 110 golden stripes on it again. It had recovered from its previous damage. That was not all. The 111th golden stripe was starting to take form. The book had grown from killing so many experts. Before long, the 111th golden stripe finished taking form. Alas, the 112th golden stripe was nowhere to be seen. The immortal page had recovered completely from its previous damage. The page itself had also reached the level of a fourth-stage Sunmoon. On top of that, there were eighty golden stripes on that page. That page alone could be considered an early earth weapon. The strength of the other pages varied. Some were stronger and some were weaker. That mainly depended on the races of the people these pages had consumed. Most of them had recovered considerably from their previous damage. Su Yu grinned. He was satisfied with his harvest. It was quite decent. He hadn't even checked their storage rings. One of the pages in his book was used as a pure storage space for these treasures. When he opened the page to check its contents, Xing Yue took a peek...and started cursing. Why was this bastard so rich? Yes. The bastard was incredibly rich. The moment the page was opened, the hall was flooded with the auras of treasures. Su Yu had killed too many geniuses and experts. He had looted a lot of treasures from his victims. He himself had also gathered a lot of treasures in the mansion. Thus, his collection of treasures was enough to fill a space of around one kilometer radius. Two dragonblood fruit trees, the many nasal hairs of Old Zhou, the gigantic solidwater pearls, the numerous piles of riversand... That was not all. He was busy going through his loot boxes. Or to be precise, he was opening the storage rings of people like Xuan Wuji. From these rings, he obtained a large amount of blood essence, heavenly source qi, heavenly source fruits, ancient city medallions, five elemental fruits, hallow source qi fruits... More and more treasures were piled up. He tossed all the treasures below the level of a carrier treasure onto the pile like trash. He was too rich to care. He had a decent number of carrier treasures as well, but he wouldn't mind having more. After a while, he found two heaven weapons. Both were early heaven weapons. He did not find any carrier treasures in Xuan Wuji's storage ring, but he found one in the storage ring of a ninth-stage Sunmoon. Clearly, that Sunmoon was preparing to become a Pseudo Invincible. Unfortunately, he was killed before he could do it. Including the golden nasal hairs, Su Yu had gathered a total of sixteen carrier treasures. The rest of his treasures were worth at least four carrier treasures. He had essentially gathered all the treasures the top young elite immortals had collected. After a while, Xing Yue decided to shut her eyes and stop looking at Su Yu. Sure, most of the treasures were useless to her, but she still had the urge to kill Su Yu. If Su Yu's collection were exposed, it would tempt even Pseudo Emperors to kill and rob him. Yes, he was the public enemy of the myriad races. But for now, everyone only wanted to kill him because of his threat, not because of his wealth. After storing all the treasures in his page, he said, "I also have six heaven weapons suppressed in the book and one drop of Invincible blood essence. I feel like the book is near its capacity." He looked at Xing Yue and smiled, "Lord Xing Yue, are you interested in crushing three or five carrier treasures for me? I need to further stabilize my Mark of Civilization." The Invincible blood essence was obtained from killing Tiangu's descendant. The heaven weapons were also obtained from these top geniuses. Su Yu continued, "If you're not interested, can you shatter the heaven weapons for me? They're similar to carrier treasures in durability. I can forge them into my Mark of Civilization." Xing Yue asked coldly, "You want to shatter them? Heaven weapons are rare and valuable even in the Death Realm..." Su Yu laughed and said, "A weapon is only good if it's a suitable weapon. Keeping the weapons of others around is risky. They might serve as a tracker for your enemies to find you. I need to crush all the heaven and earth weapons. I only need to strengthen my Mark of Civilization with them. I don't need those weapons around." Xing Yue asked coldly, "Why should I help you?" "Because I'm your loyal subordinate." Su Yu reasoned, "Lord, won't you be proud to have a stronger subordinate?" Xing Yue continued staring at Su Yu frostily. Nonsense. If he grew even stronger, she wouldn't be able to withstand his absorption anymore. Seemingly having guessed her thoughts, Su Yu laughed and said, "Think about it, Lord. If I keep these heaven weapons around, I can probably sell them for many treasures I can use to cultivate. I'll definitely grow stronger doing that. Meanwhile, crushing them will only strengthen my weapon, not my body. That is a way to restrict my growth..." Xing Yue continued staring at Su Yu frostily. She really wanted to slap him to death. However, he had been absorbing her death qi nonstop. At the moment, he was still controlling the rate. But the moment she tried anything, he would greatly increase the rate. Su Yu was no longer a weakling. He would be able to survive her even if he couldn't defeat her. Xing Yue was starting to feel tired of this. After shooting Mo Duona a glance, she gnashed her teeth and asked, "What do you want to sever the connection between us?" This was most likely the first time in history a death sovereign had ever asked a question . Xing Yue couldn't stand Su Yu anymore. She was deeply annoyed by him. Su Yu asked, "Lord, are you abandoning your most loyal subordinate?" "Su Yu!" Xing Yue screeched with fury and madness. As a response, Su Yu sighed and said, "Don't be like that, Lord. I am absorbing your death qi because I'm out of options. My yang acupoint is open ,but my yin aperture is still shut. With the yin aperture open, this won't be an issue anymore. But I doubt I can find all 360 apertures even after killing all cultural researchers in existence. Some ancient races have gone extinct. And cultural researchers have always been lower in number compared to warriors. I suspect that I can find the chart of the apertures somewhere. However, I need your help there." Xing Yue asked coldly, "You wish to enter the Death Realm?" "No. I hope you can find it for me..." Su Yu laughed and shrugged, "In that case, I can only continue absorbing you. I have no choice, Lord. It's not like I want this. Sooner or later, I will die to death qi." Su Yu ignored her. He would worry about this again in the future. At the moment, he was busy consuming some of his gathered treasures, including dragonblood fruits, solidwater pearls, and smearing some Emperor's Saliva all over his body to supply his body with enough energy to complete the second transformation. After some time, a massive burst of source qi erupted from his body. Su Yu groaned blissfully. This felt great! After so long, he had finally completed his second transformation. This felt incredible. Naturally, he was consuming resources at a rate that could cause Invincibles to cry and Daofuses to grief. The resources he needed to complete one transformation were probably worth more than an entire Invincible. Su Yu was sighing inwardly. He had to get his hands on the nine-leaf skylotus. Otherwise, he could forget about his remaining transformations. It felt almost impossible to gather enough treasures to complete more of his transformations. He had only completed the second transformation after killing so many geniuses. After the completion of his second transformation, he started growing in strength. It did not happen in one massive burst. Rather, it was a steady and continuous progress. Once again, he took a pile of treasures out and started consuming them like candies to fuel his strengthening. Both his body and source qi were upgrading themselves. That required a large amount of energy. Countless treasure fruits were consumed like they were energy drinks. At the same time, Su Yu was utilizing his breathing technique and vibration technique to remove more impurities from his body. He even used the Life Trigger of the immortals to fart those impurities out of his body. Xing Yue looked at the farting Su Yu with disgust. Su Yu did not care about that. He focused on his body, sensing his growth after his second transformation. The first transformation had given him a massive boost in strength. He could reach 2.5 million acupoints in strength without the yang acupoint. The second transformation had pushed his strength beyond three million acupoints, and it was still growing. Naturally, time was required for that. Fortunately, he was rich enough to fuel his growth. Su Yu did not skimp when upgrading himself. A treasure would only be a good treasure if it could help him. It was pointless to keep them around as decorations. He was not holding back as he continued consuming countless treasures stored in his book. Slowly, all 360 of his acupoints lit up brightly. 3 million acupoints in strength. 3.1 million acupoints in strength.
