Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 112

“Why leave in such a hurry?”

Su Changsheng laughed heartily.

Holding the Emperor Jar, he unleashed the might of a Great Saint Overlord, descending like an emperor.

Boom!

The palace seemed to explode.

Terrifying energies rampaged, as if recreating the heavens and earth.

If it weren’t for the fact that this was the Emperor’s Dao Palace, protected by the lingering power of the Azure Emperor, it would have long been torn apart and destroyed by the supreme divine might.

The powerful figures Yan Ruyu brought, including two Great Saints, were utterly terrified. Their souls almost left their bodies in fear.

This scene was too terrifying.

Who could have imagined that a seemingly young human Great Saint would erupt with the power of a Great Saint Overlord. He not only slapped three Great Saints to death with one palm but also unleashed supreme divine might to obliterate a Quasi-Emperor’s divine sense in a single strike.

Such terrifying strength was akin to the arrival of an ancient emperor, sweeping through the entire field.

“Take Her Highness away quickly!”

A Great Saint in a green robe snapped back to reality. He immediately shouted, instructing another female Great Saint. Then, he unleashed a powerful aura, with countless rays of light bursting forth.

Like a sun, his boundless divine might surged directly towards Su Changsheng.

“Kill!”

He roared, unleashing countless divine abilities, their boundless power accompanied by azure divine light. Amidst it all, a towering and great Emperor’s phantom appeared, capable of tearing through star fields and rivers.

When a Great Saint fought desperately, the resulting might was truly terrifying.

“Uncle Qing!”

Yan Ruyu couldn’t help but tremble at the sight, her beautiful eyes turning red.

She had witnessed such situations more than once in the past years.

“Why must you fight so desperately, my friend?”

Seeing this, Su Changsheng merely smiled and flipped his hand and pressed down. It was like the hand of the heavens, surrounded by the order of the Dao, truly terrifying.

Whether it was the towering Emperor’s phantom or the countless divine abilities, all were suppressed and dissipated by Su Changsheng’s single palm.

“Princess, since you’re already here, why be so polite and rush to leave?”

Su Changsheng’s eyes sparkled as he looked towards Yan Ruyu.

His voice rumbled like thunder.

It was as if the voice of the Dao itself was resonating, causing the faces of the powerful figures, including Yan Ruyu, to turn pale.

This kind of might was too terrifying, not at all like that of a Great Saint, but rather a Quasi-Emperor Sovereign.

“Truly worthy of being an Immortal Physique!”

On the other side, Gu Qingge was also in awe.

It must be noted that Su Changsheng was currently only at the First Heaven of the Great Saint realm, having just broken through not long ago, yet his combat strength was already comparable to that of an Overlord.

When fully unleashed, he could even slay a Quasi-Emperor’s divine sense with a single strike.

Such heaven-defying combat prowess was equivalent to that of a young Emperor’s son at the peak of the Ninth Heaven.

The so-called Overlord actually referred to young supremes or the Emperor’s sons who reached the pinnacle of the Great Saint realm.

Yet Su Changsheng, being only at the early stage of the Great Saint realm, already possessed combat strength comparable to that of an Overlord-level of an Emperor’s son.

Boom!

In the midst of it all, Su Changsheng struck again. With just one palm, he suppressed Yan Ruyu and her group entirely, rendering their resistance futile.

In the end, everything was resolved.

Yan Ruyu, along with her group of powerful figures, had their cultivation suppressed and were bound by Su Changsheng.

“My lady, it is done!”

Approaching Gu Qingge, Su Changsheng smiled and clapped his hands.

Beside them, Yan Ruyu’s face was filled with sorrow. Falling into the hands of this extremely ruthless human Great Saint, her fate seemed destined to be tragic.

“Hmm. Aren’t you going to explain to her? She looks quite frightened!”

Gu Qingge responded softly, then slightly raised her chin, pointing to the sorrowful and despairing Yan Ruyu, reminding him.

“My lady is absolutely right!”

Su Changsheng smiled and nodded in agreement.

His previous terrifying display was intentional, merely to scare Yan Ruyu. However, it seemed he might have overdid it.

“Princess, may I know your name?”

Su Changsheng smiled warmly at Yan Ruyu. He addressed her as “Princess” because, as a descendant of the Azure Emperor, she was entitled to that title.

“My name is Yan Ruyu. What must we do for you to let us go, Senior?”

Yan Ruyu said, her face pale and still somewhat shaken.

She was still immersed in the shock of the previous events and had not yet fully recovered.

“Yan Ruyu, what a beautiful name!” Su Changsheng murmured, his gaze falling on her as he continued to smile.

“Princess, there is no need to be so fearful. If we speak of relationships, you should actually call me your future husband!”

“What?”

These words left everyone stunned, including Yan Ruyu, who was momentarily dazed and then filled with disbelief.

“There is no need to doubt. It is indeed the truth!”

Beside him, Gu Qingge spoke with a cold expression.

Then, she raised her hand and projected a scene from earlier.

It was the Azure Emperor’s instruction, arranging a marriage alliance between Su Changsheng and Yan Ruyu, to marry Yan Ruyu to Su Changsheng.

“Great Emperor Ancestor…”

Seeing the face identical to the one described in ancient texts and feeling the connection through her bloodline, Yan Ruyu’s heart trembled. She couldn’t help but want to kneel and cry.

All the grievances and hardships she had endured over the years, she longed to share with the Great Emperor Ancestor.

But unfortunately, before she could meet him, he had already dissipated.

“Lord Azure Emperor!”

“It truly is the great Lord Azure Emperor!”

Behind her, the powerful figures accompanying Yan Ruyu, including the two Great Saints, knelt down in excitement.

They were descendants of the Azure Emperor’s followers from back then, and to this day, they remained loyal to the Azure Emperor’s lineage.

At this moment, seeing the Azure Emperor’s phantom, they were naturally extremely excited.

Unfortunately, this was just a recorded image and would not respond to them. It dissipated shortly after.

This left them feeling regretful.

However, being powerful figures with firm resolve, they quickly emerged from their sorrow.

However, their gazes towards Su Changsheng and Gu Qingge became filled with reverence.

They had not forgotten.

These two were individuals whom even the Azure Emperor valued highly, and Su Changsheng was personally designated by the Azure Emperor as the future husband of their princess.

This alone was enough to command their utmost respect and reverence.

“We greet Your Highness, Changsheng!”

Soon, the group of powerful figures all knelt on one knee, their tones filled with respect.

Yan Ruyu’s expression was complex as she looked at Su Changsheng, her heart in turmoil.

Having walked the world for many years to revive the Azure Emperor’s lineage, she had long abandoned personal emotions, focusing solely on restoring the imperial court, with no interest in matters of romance.

Not to mention, he was a human expert she had only met once.

However, this was a marriage personally arranged by her Great Emperor Ancestor, and she could not refuse it. Moreover, facing a human expert who was a Great Saint Overlord and possessed an imperial weapon, she seemed to have no grounds for resistance.

“Princess, do you know how to address me now?” Su Changsheng asked with a smile, looking at the conflicted and hesitant Yan Ruyu.

It had to be said, Yan Ruyu was indeed perfect. Her features were exquisitely refined to the extreme, without a single flaw, truly as beautiful as a celestial being, flawless and immaculate.

Moreover, she possessed a unique aura, ethereal and elusive, like a fairy from a dream, as if she were an immortal, drifting and unattainable.

Even Gu Qingge, with her remarkable beauty, could not surpass Yan Ruyu based on looks alone; she could only rely on her status as the Empress to hold some sway.

At Su Changsheng’s words, Yan Ruyu’s heart skipped a beat. She took a slight step back, her lips quivering, and her eyelashes fluttering incessantly. Her flawless face blushed, resembling the rosy hue of a setting sun, an indescribable beauty.

“Fu… Your Highness, Changsheng!”

Yan Ruyu’s lips trembled as she struggled to utter the shy-inducing title, ultimately settling for the same respectful address as the others.

This, however, was almost as good as an acknowledgment.

“Good! Since Yu’er has accepted my identity, from now on, stay by my side!”

Su Changsheng smiled with satisfaction, then waved his hand, releasing the restraints on everyone.

The shackles on the powerful figures dissipated, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Rising to their feet, they looked at Su Changsheng with eyes full of reverence.

He was truly terrifying.
