He hovered high in the air, his clothes perfectly still, as if he were looking down upon all living beings.
Paired with his handsome appearance and cold expression, he truly seemed somewhat intimidating.
“Truly an astonishing performance,” he said, his voice gentle but devoid of any warmth.
Su Fu tightened her grip on the golden staff, her expression grave.
This man before her felt different-his pressure was immense, yet there was also a sense of… familiarity?
“Stealing divine artifacts, opposing the Wardens, eliminating Team Three…”
He sighed softly, “It seems you are destined to oppose me.”
“In that case,” he raised his hand, golden light gathering in his palm, tinged with a hint of regret, “I shall send you on your way.”
Almost instantly, space began to tremble, and the entire Heavenly Prison ruins resonated.
Golden patterns spread through the air like veins, outlining a grand design.
It was the same pattern as the palace’s shadow!
The manifestation of the Heavenly Prison’s authority!
Jiang Qingyu’s pupils contracted, “Not good! He’s already fully mastered the Heavenly Prison’s authority.”
No wonder!
No wonder he emerged from the palace’s shadow!
So it’s already over!
Zongzheng Wujiu casually waved his hand, and a massive golden hand instantly materialized in the void.
The hand blotted out the sky, its sheer oppressive force making it hard to breathe.
Then, without hesitation, it mercilessly crushed down toward Su Fu!
“Boom!”
Even with the Wind Fire Wheels’ support, Su Fu was still forced to descend under the overwhelming power.
Zongzheng Wujiu said indifferently, “I am the Heavenly Prison, and the Heavenly Prison is me.”
“Su Fu, stop struggling.”
Su Fu: “???”
“What kind of nonsense are you spouting?”
“You think I’ll just give up because you said so?”
“Get lost!”
“Su Fu!”
Jiang Qingyu and the others gasped in shock, about to rush to aid, when Zongzheng Wujiu’s other hand gave a gentle clench.
In an instant, countless golden chains extended from the void, tightly binding Jiang Qingyu, Klaus, and the rest.
Zongzheng Wujiu’s voice echoed eerily, “Those who defy shall face divine punishment!”
The colossal golden hand suddenly tightened!
Su Fu felt as if she had been thrown into a massive meat grinder, every inch of her flesh enduring immense pressure.
Yet, her eyes sparkled with clarity.
From the Chief’s words, it seemed he had… merged with the Heavenly Prison?
“That’s just perfect!
Wonderful!
Marvelous!
Splendid!
Zongzheng Wujiu slightly furrowed his brows.
In such a situation, why could Su Fu still smile?
Was she out of her mind?
But Su Fu’s smile deepened.
To be honest, she was afraid that Zongzheng Wujiu’s bond with the Heavenly Prison wasn’t deep enough.
Otherwise, the backlash would be too minor, and that would be a real pity.
But now…
“Since that’s the case…”
Su Fu looked up with a radiant smile, “Then, it’s time to send you off!”
Her voice rose:
“Invoke the descent of my deity!”
In an instant, the world fell silent.
Then, the heavens abruptly split open!
Three dazzling golden lights cascaded down like waterfalls, divine might surging, sweeping across all directions.
Wherever the golden light passed, Zongzheng Wujiu’s oppressive force began to crumble inch by inch!
Zongzheng Wujiu’s pupils constricted sharply.
What… deity is this?!
The immense pressure on Su Fu’s head vanished abruptly.
She straightened up, enunciating each word:
“Invoke-“
“The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!”
Within a golden light, a figure materialized, clad in golden armor, wielding the Ruyi Jingu Bang, surrounded by an endless aura of battle.
“Old Sun is here!”
The Great Sage laughed heartily, standing proudly in the void, his gaze sweeping disdainfully, “Even the Jade Emperor’s Hall of Supreme Harmony. I can smash, what’s this puny Heavenly Prison?”
The figure instantly solidified behind Su Fu.
Su Fu felt her entire body boiling with battle intent, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang in her hand was instantly empowered, its golden light surging!
“Boom-!”
The Ruyi Jingu Bang spun in the air, and the heavens and earth changed colors!
A terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, and the colossal golden hand Zongzheng Wujiu had conjured shattered under this overwhelming force!
“What?!” Zongzheng Wujiu’s expression changed drastically!
But Su Fu wasn’t done.
Her voice rang out again:
“Invoke-“
“The True Lord Erlang, Yang Jian!”
The second golden light exploded, and a tall figure emerged in the void.
Though the figure was blurry, the third eye on his forehead was strikingly clear.
Erlang Shen Yang Jian, manifest!
Immediately, Erlang Shen’s heavenly eye opened, and a golden divine light shot like a sword straight at the central Law Stele of the Heavenly Prison.
Erlang Shen snorted coldly, “False gods usurping authority, they shall be executed!”
Almost instantly, the rule inscriptions on the Law Stele melted like spring snow under this gaze, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
His gaze had pierced through the rules of the Heavenly Prison!
Finally, Nezha!
“Invoke-“
“The Great God of the Three Altars, Nezha!”
In the third golden light, a youthful figure rode in on wind and fire wheels.
Wherever the wheels passed, space twisted, and a sea of flames surged.
This was no ordinary fire, but true fire capable of burning everything!
Where the flames licked, the golden patterns of the Heavenly Prisonm crumbled inch by inch.
Nezha, the Third Prince, had descended!
His gaze swept disdainfully, uttering a single domineering word: “Kill!”
Three deities had emerged!
To storm the Heavenly Prison!
At this moment, no one present dared to look directly at Su Fu!
Three terrifying divine powers intertwined in the void, and Su Fu’s aura faintly surpassed that of Zongzheng Wujiu.
Zongzheng Wujiu’s expression finally turned grave.
“Interesting…” he slowly raised his hand, and the golden light of the Heavenly Prison Authority surged once more, so blinding that it was impossible to keep one’s eyes open.
“It seems I must get serious.”
“Then let me show you what true power of the rules really is!”
“Under the authority, all are but ants!”
In an instant, the golden core erupted, transforming into countless chains of rules that swept across the entire battlefield.
The chains, like living creatures, wove together in the air to form a massive net, enveloping everyone within it.
A flash of ruthlessness passed through Zongzheng Wujiu’s eyes:
“Within this domain, divine artifacts are forbidden!”
The rules were set!
Su Fu immediately saw the divine artifact in her hand dim, and all divine artifacts lost their luster, becoming as ordinary as mundane tools.
The next second-
“Within this domain, gods shall retreat!”
A piercing hum echoed in the air, and countless golden runes appeared in the void, seemingly struggling against the massive shadow.
The Great Sage’s shadow behind Su Fu seemed to tremble slightly, and Zongzheng Wujiu seized the opportunity, controlling the thickest chain to directly strangle Su Fu’s throat!
“Die!”
Just as the chain was about to wrap around Su Fu’s neck, suddenly—
“Hey!”
A furious roar!
The shadow of Sun Wukong suddenly solidified, and the Golden Cudgel expanded ten thousand times, its surface igniting with crimson- gold flames.
“Enough noise! How dare you try to suppress me, Old Sun?!”
“Su Fu, let’s beat this pretentious bastard to death together!!”
Su Fu smiled, “Alright!”
Su Fu and the Great Sage’s shadow behind her simultaneously raised the Golden Cudgel and brought it down with immense force!
The Golden Cudgel collided with the chain, producing a deafening explosion.
In the next second, the chain shattered into pieces under this brute force, and the prohibition runes crumbled like porcelain!
Zongzheng Wujiu’s face changed drastically:
“Impossible! The power of authority…”
“How can you ignore it?!”
“Why can’t I control this divine shadow?!”
“Truly worthy of the Great Sage!” Su Fu looked at the shattered runes filling the sky, her heart surging with excitement.
Even the heavens above couldn’t contain the Great Sage, let alone this mere fragment of authority?
As the cudgel struck, the palace shadow trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse and dissipate.
Zongzheng Wujiu panicked and began frantically pouring divine power into the palace, trying to repair the shattered runes.
Just as he finished repairing the damage-
Erlang Shen’s Heavenly Eye had already spotted the flaws in the palace shadow.
He snorted coldly, “Full of holes, a mere remnant dares to call itself ‘authority’?”
The Heavenly Eye suddenly erupted with a blinding golden light, like a divine sword, piercing straight into the weakest point of the palace’s shadow.
It’s here!
The runes that had just been repaired instantly crumbled again under this gaze!
Zongzheng Wujiu went berserk, roaring, “!!! Su Fu!”
He glared at Su Fu in fury, only to widen his eyes in shock as a pillar of fire shot into the sky.
Su Fu was actually riding the Wind Fire Wheels, charging forward!
Wherever the Wind Fire Wheels passed, the Samadhi True Fire ignited, and a terrifying sea of flames instantly engulfed the entire palace.
The chains melted into molten iron, and the runes scattered like ashes.
Nezha laughed heartily, “With skills like these, you might as well go back to the womb and start over!”
Zongzheng Wujiu was enraged.
His authority!
His Heavenly Prison!
It was on fire!
And at that moment, Su Fu had already charged forward, delivering the final blow!
“How dare you!” Zongzheng Wujiu screamed hysterically.
Of course, Su Fu dared.
The three great deities struck simultaneously!
The Golden Cudgel expanded to a thousand feet, wielding the power to split heaven and earth as it came crashing down!
The Heavenly Eye’s divine light pierced through the illusory rules like a sharp sword!
The Samadhi True Fire burned through the heavens, incinerating all obstacles!
The three forces intertwined in the void, converging into a terrifying power capable of annihilating the world.
“Boom-!”
Everyone saw a golden cudgel shadow, vast enough to blot out the sky, descending from above and smashing heavily onto the palace’s shadow.
In that instant, the heavens and earth lost their color.
The palace’s shadow shattered with a resounding crash!
“No… it’s impossible…”
Zongzheng Wujiu’s eyes were filled with disbelief and despair.
How could his once-mighty authority be destroyed so easily?
“It can’t be! You’re just a pawn!”
“How dare you? How could you?!”
But everything happened too quickly—
The Heavenly Palace had already crumbled, golden bricks cascading down from the sky like an avalanche.
The manifested chains of rules broke inch by inch, turning into specks of golden light that drifted upward, resembling a reverse meteor shower.
Most importantly, the shattering of his authority brought about a backlash.
Zongzheng Wujiu felt a heart-wrenching pain erupt from within his body, followed by disintegration-
First, his fingertips, vanishing like burning scraps of paper.
Then, the traces of disintegration spread like flames, slowly creeping up his arm.
He used his last ounce of strength to try and grab Su Fu, but he couldn’t even stand, only staring at her with a deathly gaze.
“Su Fu! Just you wait!”
“I will never rest until you’re dead!”
Su Fu’s gaze was calm, almost cold, and she replied indifferently:
“…Let me put it this way, I’m really tired of hearing that.”
Why does every defeated foe love to make such threats?
And why do they always say the same thing?
Honestly, she found it strange.
If they couldn’t beat her now, did they really think they could in the future?
Well, he was about to die.
She might as well let him have the last word.
Zongzheng Wujiu’s pupils contracted sharply.
Su Fu’s reaction showed she didn’t even regard him as a threat!
He opened his mouth, but no words came out, because his time was up.
As she watched the golden specks of light scattering in the sky, Su Fu’s expression turned slightly peculiar.
She glanced at the still-burning Samadhi True Fire, her lips twitching slightly.
Nezha, you really went easy on me.
Sure, the Wind Fire Wheels have fire, but did you have to go straight for the Samadhi True Fire?
And Erlang Shen, you too.
That Heavenly Eye was way too intense.
Since when could a proper Heavenly Eye directly nullify the rules of authority?
Assisting in reconnaissance and then transforming into a physical damage dealer?
You’re really aiming to challenge the Heavenly Prison, aren’t you?
As for the Great Sage… you-ah, never mind, I won’t say more.
Su Fu helplessly rubbed her forehead.
It seems you’ve got this down to a science.
The three deities remained silent, only pouring down torrents of water for her before slipping away.
She stood at the center of the golden rain, her palm catching the drifting specks of golden dust-the last remnants of the Heavenly Prison’s authority.
Gazing at the faint glimmer in her palm, she murmured softly:
“What a pity…”
“This was the authority of the Heavenly Prison, after all.”
As the phantom of the palace collapsed, the entire examination grounds began to undergo drastic changes.
The sky resembled a shattered mirror, golden cracks spreading across it, and light dust cascaded down like an avalanche, blanketing the battlefield.
