Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System Chapter 925 - 410: Dao Plant with Eleven Striations, Daluo Bone Opens for the First Time! (Part 2)

"We might even... have a chance to reach the pinnacle of this Star River..."

The voice of Celestial Extremes softened to an extraordinary degree, carrying a compelling persuasive force. The instant it rang out, a flash of confusion appeared in Su Tu’s gaze.

Slowly, he grasped the Black Spear, fresh strength surging through his grip.

"Yes, that’s right, just like that—let my body guide you, refine the energy inside him, and when that power takes solid form, then..."

An indescribable thrill laced Celestial Extremes’ tone, causing even the Black Spear to quiver faintly.

He kept directing Su Tu to channel Kai’en’s inner power into the Black Spear as a container, while Kai’en lay unconscious, utterly helpless against Su Tu.

Fresh energy gathered upon the Black Spear, instantly summoning a flickering black dragon illusion along its shaft. With the Black Dragon’s sway, an aura of ’emptiness’ started enveloping the area around them.

The nearer the Black Dragon approached Kai’en, the more frantic Celestial Extremes’ voice became.

"That’s it! Yes!! Just like that!!"

The Black Dragon neared Kai’en, violent new power erupted, and the sinister dragon exposed its fangs, poised to chomp down!!

Right when the Black Dragon’s teeth grazed Kai’en’s flesh...

"I still think barbecue tastes better."

A mocking, playful voice echoed, causing the coiling dragon on the Black Spear to vanish in an instant. The spear was thrust directly over the flames, its body shaking as it fully ended Kai’en’s life.

Celestial Extremes, who had been thrilled moments before, now stood dumbfounded, glaring from the seal at the smirking Su Tu, rage exploding like a volcano.

"Bastard!! How dare you trick me!!!"

Su Tu stayed utterly composed, crouching down and turning the Black Spear steadily, roasting Kai’en evenly over the fire.

Then, with perfect calm, he replied.

"Weren’t you the one who started it?"

Celestial Extremes went silent for a beat upon hearing that, having assumed this Human Race youth was simple to manipulate—yet clearly, he’d been toying with him from the start.

The Primordial Human Race remains as infuriating as ever.

"Hmph!"

"Just say it—what terms will let me use this guy to restore the True Spirit."

Celestial Extremes collected himself once more.

Kai’en’s presence held the secret to His liberation; across endless ages, He’d never come this close to breaking free. For the sake of freedom, He’d bargain even with this sly Primordial Human Race brat.

Still, such a deal wasn’t His alone to dictate.

Su Tu’s eyes locked intently on the ’skewers,’ and as the roasting advanced, the Celestial Pig illusion faded, revealing the authentic Six Desires Race form.

A blackened corpse, impaled on the skewers, mingled with the fire and Su Tu’s spices, looking remarkably like jerky sticks.

A tempting aroma kept wafting from it.

The smell blended diverse meat flavors with subtle fruity and veggie notes, stirring hunger with its mere scent.

Su Tu experienced the same pull.

Witnessing this, Celestial Extremes panicked—the inner power was on the verge of fully blending into the meat.

Though puzzled by Su Tu’s method of trapping this race’s power in the flesh via mere flames, continuing would forfeit the chance entirely.

"Stop roasting, damn it, I’m telling you to stop roasting!!"

Celestial Extremes lost all pretense of calm, roaring wildly inside Su Tu’s mind.

In response came only Su Tu’s cool, detached voice.

"Senior, don’t bother—the sole reason you crave this race’s power is its unique ability to shatter your seal."

"But here’s the issue: do you believe I’d permit your escape from the seal?"

"Or, put differently, once free, would you spare my life??"

Su Tu chatted lightly, his hand steadily applying more oil to the skewers.

Celestial Extremes paused at Su Tu’s words, then let out a icy, sinister chuckle.

"As expected, you’re a crafty little fox—no surprise they assigned you to handle me."

"Human Race, I’ll swear a Celestial Dao—no, a Great Dao Contract right now. Grant me freedom, and I vow to be your sworn Dao companion in life and death, sharing triumphs and defeats."

"Failing the vow, the Great Dao will obliterate me, True Spirit destroyed!!"

Celestial Extremes’ tone turned gravely earnest.

Yet Su Tu showed no reaction, lifting a finished skewer and biting in—suddenly, crisp fruit flavors and hearty meat burst across his tongue.

Along with a tremendous, surging power flooding endlessly into his body.

This surging power raged fiercely, akin to a rampaging flood bursting its banks; had it struck anyone ordinary, they would have been utterly crushed in moments, yet for Su Tu possessing a Primordial Body, it presented no challenge whatsoever.

The Dao Plant started voraciously drawing in the energy without pause, with portions merging directly into itself while the remainder flowed steadily into the Star River Prototype located just below it.

Su Tu chomped down on the dried meat skewer, devouring the colossal energy surge. Celestial Extremes realized this effort to shatter the seal was doomed to fail, yet He stayed remarkably composed. His thirst for freedom burned far too fiercely; for that liberty, He would swallow any indignity.

Even abandon His lofty pride to forge a life-and-death Dao friendship with Su Tu!

"I don’t need a life and death Dao friend."

Su Tu declared abruptly.

"Submission—that’s what I demand, not some life-and-death Dao friend. It won’t take long; within a hundred years, I expect you to acknowledge me as your master and battle for me."

"Agree to this, and I’ll devise a method to aid in breaking your seal."

At these words, Celestial Extremes lapsed into silence initially, followed by a deafening roar that exploded through Su Tu’s mind like a bolt of thunderous lightning.
