Su Fu immediately realized: “Peach?”
Right, the Peach of Immortality had already become sentient and had been at the scene, connected to her—a perfect breakthrough.
“Little Peach?” she cautiously responded.
The voice immediately became joyful: “Mother, it’s me! Hurry and wake up, it’s so scary outside!”
Su Fu closed her eyes, concentrating fully to trace the peach’s voice, catching that faint but clear connection.
Gradually, the white fog started to turn transparent.
She vaguely saw the shattered platform and…
“Huh? What’s happening? Why is the sky leaking water?”
Had she not yet left the illusion?
She stared in shock at the massive waterfall pouring from the sky, gasping in disbelief.
‘My heavens!’
‘What happened? The sky broke just while I was gone?’
Yuelun Yuan hovered in midair.
Under his control, the Heavenly River water poured downward from the firmament, while underground rivers gushed upward.
“Damn!” Su Fu gasped, “You’re ruthless!”
He was trying to create a world-ending flood and wipe everyone out.
At that moment, she suddenly heard someone shouting:
“Wow, the peach actually became sentient and can run around!”
“Don’t let it escape! Catch it!”
Su Fu turned to the source and saw Zhou Tianhao, Chu Mingyuan, and others circling her little peach, trying to capture it.
The Peach Cub nimbly jumped and dodged between them.
Zhou Tianhao lunged hard but missed.
Su Fu immediately realized the little creature was deliberately exposing itself, only to attract everyone’s attention and buy her a chance to regain clarity.
Otherwise, if she woke from the illusion, she’d be found and controlled again immediately.
She moved her slightly stiff fingers.
‘Dare to touch my peach? That’s suicide.’
At this moment, they had already circled the Peach Cub tightly.
Zhou Tianhao shouted in frustration, “This little thing is too slippery!”
“Just wait till I deal with you today!”
He pulled up Apollo’s holy bow, Chu Mingyuan’s flame blazed in his hand, and others prepared to strike simultaneously, divine power condensing—about to hit the little peach.
“Boom!”
A golden light suddenly struck from behind them, followed by a golden staff sweeping across with overwhelming force, crashing into the group.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Loud explosions rang out repeatedly.
Zhou Tianhao and the others felt a sharp pain behind them, thrown flying by a tremendous force and slammed against a stone pillar on the far side of the platform, groaning in pain.
Then the second and third blows followed!
Until they were all knocked down, unable to stand.
They finally realized it was Su Fu.
Zhou Tianhao wiped blood from the corner of his mouth, eyes wide with shock.
“How is this possible… you actually came out!”
Chu Mingyuan clutched his chest, coughing violently: “The illusion… has been broken…”
Lin Yaowei and Lin Xuanye looked utterly incredulous.
“How did you do it?!”
Yuelun Meng backed away in fear.
If the illusion was broken…
Before Su Fu could react—
“Mother, you finally came out!”
The little Peach Cub’s voice was both aggrieved and joyous, like a small cannonball rushing into Su Fu’s arms.
Su Fu reached out and caught it, quickly soothing it.
“Don’t be afraid, little peach. You’re brave and saved me, right?”
The peach rubbed happily against her palm, two leaves fluttering joyfully as it said loudly, “Right!”
Su Fu then lifted her head and looked at everyone.
Her voice was gentle but chilling: “So, it’s these people bullying our little one, isn’t it?”
They all panicked, shouting simultaneously toward the sky: “Yuelun Yuan! Yuelun Yuan! She’s awake, come back quickly!”
But Yuelun Yuan, hovering in midair, seemed not to hear at all, not even glancing their way.
Su Fu smiled.
“What? You think you’re the only ones who can use illusions?”
At her words, their faces instantly turned deathly pale.
The next moment, lightning crackled suddenly around Su Fu, sizzling and popping.
At the same time, Six Ding Divine Fire blazed fiercely before her eyes, forming a scorching barrier around her.
The golden-red flames lit up her flowing hair.
Cradling the peach, standing amid fire and thunder, she revealed a radiant smile.
She sighed, “Thanks to Yuelun Yuan for creating an environment flooded with water.”
Everyone felt their scalps tingle with dread.
They realized instantly she was about to unleash that combo!
Those generals were wiped out by Su Fu’s combo of water, thunder, and fire!
And now… water was everywhere.
“Help!” Zhou Tianhao screamed, desperately retreating.
“Stop her!”
Lin Yaowei raised the last light shield.
“It’s over. What can stop her now?”
It was all too late.
Su Fu looked at them, slammed her golden staff hard on the ground, and in the next second thunder cracked loudly—
Explosion!
***
Meanwhile, in the floodwaters below, Lin Mo, Chen Jing, and other examinees had already drained much of their divine power, barely keeping their heads above water.
If this continued, in less than ten minutes, they would all be buried beneath this flood.
Fear of death engulfed them.
They cursed Yuelun Yuan angrily.
“Yuelun Yuan! You insane bastard!”
“I curse you to die miserably!”
Their curses echoed loudly over the Jade Pool.
Yuelun Yuan heard them but paid no mind.
‘They were just the barking of defeated dogs’, he thought.
But at that moment, Lin Mo suddenly shouted, “Yuelun Yuan, listen up! You’re nowhere near as good as Su Fu! No matter how cunning she is, she wouldn’t indiscriminately slaughter innocents!”
Hearing this, Yuelun Yuan’s expression changed slightly.
He sneered mockingly, “You’ve never seen her use the Heavenly River water to kill a great fairy. If she were here, do you think she wouldn’t use the same flood against you? You really think… she’d let you live? But saying all this is pointless,” he smiled faintly and shook his head.
“Actually, thanks to Su Fu for building this prison; otherwise…”
He didn’t finish speaking before he noticed the change in everyone’s expressions.
They were all staring behind him as if they’d seen something unbelievable.
His heart suddenly jumped, and his scalp tingled.
‘Wait… why were they looking behind me?’
Who was behind him?
An unthinkable thought flashed through his mind—
‘Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Su Fu was clearly trapped in an illusion; how could she be here?’
At that moment, a gentle voice came from behind him: “You’re very arrogant, aren’t you?”
That voice… was unmistakably Su Fu’s!
Yuelun Yuan felt a chill shoot down his spine, his pupils constricted sharply.
He spun around to see Su Fu quietly floating in midair, smiling warmly at him.
Yuelun Yuan immediately realized something and swept his gaze over the platform, which was now empty.
“You… you eliminated them all?” His voice was hoarse, almost a shout.
His heart sank.
He never expected Su Fu to not only wake from his illusion but to have eliminated everyone else without his knowledge.
Su Fu blinked and said lightly, “They wanted to steal my peach; I had no choice but to get rid of them all.”
Yuelun Yuan’s expression instantly darkened.
Fools!
He had clearly told them to watch Su Fu, and this was how they “watched”?
He had warned them she was full of tricks and to never let down their guard.
But they still fought over the peach?
Damn fools, deserved to be eliminated.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
No panic—he still held the advantage.
The Heavenly River water had flooded most of the Jade Pool.
Even Su Fu couldn’t control the situation so quickly.
“Since that’s the case,” he forced a faint smile, “then let’s just say it’s elimination.”
“But… how about… we cooperate?”
He thought Su Fu wouldn’t refuse.
He controlled the Heavenly River water with supreme authority.
The situation was already decided; she couldn’t counter it.
Why not agree to cooperate and get these points for free?
Yuelun Yuan felt he had shown enough sincerity.
But just then, he saw Su Fu use a divine skill—
Su Fu shouted loudly: “Marshal Tianpeng, Order of the Heavenly Water!”
Suddenly, behind Su Fu appeared a figure.
He was tall and sturdy, holding the Nine-toothed Rake, clad in silver armor, with a jade belt around his waist.
Yuelun Yuan was shocked.
At this moment, what use could the Marshal Tianpeng be?
The next second, the Marshal Tianpeng waved at the flooding Heavenly River water—
“Boom!”
An ear-splitting roar echoed.
The Heavenly River water pouring from the firmament suddenly seemed to respond to an irresistible summons and stopped falling.
Not only that, the water already fallen began flowing backward, defying all natural laws, returning to the sky!
Countless water columns surged upward, forming blue pillars shooting into the clouds.
The raging water roared deafeningly as mist spread everywhere.
At the same time, the floodwaters gushing from the ground rapidly receded, retreating into cracks in the earth.
“This… this can’t be!” Yuelun Yuan panicked, feeling his control over the Heavenly River water forcibly ripped away.
The waters no longer obeyed his commands.
Each wave of the Marshal Tianpeng’s hand summoned tons of water back into place.
Within minutes, the apocalyptic flood that was about to drown the entire exam site completely vanished.
Those struggling in the water gradually fell back to the ground as the water level dropped, stunned and unbelieving.
Was it… over?
They stared in shock at Su Fu above and the divine shadow behind her.
‘Marshal Tianpeng… So powerful!’ Su Fu was satisfied.
No wonder it was Marshal Tianpeng.
This was the former Heavenly Court’s Water Army commander, in charge of the Heavenly River water system and commanding 90,000 elite Water Army troops.
His duty was to maintain order in the Heavenly River and keep the waterways flowing smoothly.
And the Heavenly River water, as the source of the Heavenly Court’s water system, naturally obeyed the Marshal’s command.
Marshal Tianpeng had returned to the Heavenly Court—his happy home.
The Heavenly River water naturally answered to him.
Don’t mention Yuelun Yuan, a “fake of a fake.”
Even if General Gu Yan Feng himself were here, he couldn’t wrest authority from the true deity.
Yuelun Yuan watched helplessly as all the floodwaters vanished and returned perfectly.
He stood rooted to the spot.
“How… how is this possible?” he finally gasped hoarsely.
“How can you control the water? How can you steal…”
Su Fu didn’t look at him.
Her gaze turned to Lin Mo and the others not far off.
“Hurry and go down to the mortal realm.”
Lin Mo didn’t hesitate, immediately sprinting away.
Chen Jing and the others followed closely, swift as the wind.
Of course—if not now, then when?
Su Fu was clearly about to make a big move!
As they reached the edge of the Jade Pool, the once seamless barrier suddenly opened a gap.
Everyone scrambled out.
Looking back, they saw other “immortals” trying to follow but trapped inside, struggling and shouting at the edge of the formation.
Lin Mo and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They wanted to thank Su Fu, but she had already turned to look at Yuelun Yuan.
“Yuelun Yuan, aren’t you running?” Su Fu asked with interest, though she had no intention of letting him escape.
Yuelun Yuan’s face was extremely ugly.
How could he run away like a defeated dog like those fools?
He was the young master of the Moonwheel family, a Second Star Ring genius.
But Su Fu didn’t care what he wanted to say.
She just smiled and said, “Well then, bye-bye.”
The next second, heaven and earth shook violently.
“Boom—boom—boom—”
Deafening explosions rang out in succession.
Countless demons screamed in agony.
Yuelun Yuan looked down in terror, finally understanding Su Fu’s true purpose in withdrawing the Heavenly River water—
She was going to blow up the entire land!
The Heavenly River water was entwined with lightning, tightly controlling all abnormal currents.
At the same time, Six Ding Divine Fire rose from all directions, instantly igniting the Heavenly River water.
Flames collided with the flood, producing steaming vapor rising from every corner of the Jade Pool.
Thick mist filled the air.
Yuelun Yuan finally realized what Su Fu was about to do—
She was going to utterly explode the Jade Pool, reducing everything to ashes, leaving nothing behind!
He looked up sharply.
Sure enough, the Heavenly River water had condensed into a massive curtain, wrapped in lightning.
“No—!”
Before Yuelun Yuan’s cry could fall, the heavens and earth simultaneously trembled.
Water everywhere in the Jade Pool.
Explosions everywhere.
The continuous blasts sounded like ten thousand heavenly thunderbolts exploding at once.
Yuelun Yuan’s vision blacked out.
“It’s over… I should have run just now…”
The ground began to collapse.
Pavilions and towers shattered.
Ancient trees were uprooted.
Fragments flew everywhere.
Everything was powerless before this destructive explosion, turning to dust.
Steam, smoke, and debris intertwined, forming a giant mushroom cloud slowly rising into the sky.
Shockwaves radiated outward, leveling everything nearby.
Demons trapped in the Jade Pool let out their last wails before being swallowed by the annihilating light.
All sound was drowned by the terrifying explosion, leaving only thunderous roaring echoing between heaven and earth.
Su Fu lowered her gaze, calmly watching it all.
Her long hair fluttered in the explosion’s updraft.
Her expression was serene.
Copy the Jade Pool?
They deserved death.
***
At the same time, all the examinees who escaped outside the Jade Pool watched the shocking scene in horror—
Su Fu had really blown up the exam site again!
Meanwhile, the mechanical voice of Shen Yan rang in everyone’s ears:
[“Warning: Jade Pool map has been locked. Entry route permanently closed.”]
The exam paper was over.
