My Synthesizer Has Talent

And so,

this newcomer,

Su Qing completely ignored.

Su Qing remained in his own world.

He chose to keep his head buried in his book.

He paid these disturbances no mind.

However,

this was only the beginning.

Then,

another one arrived.

This one appeared to be an ethereal being.

Or perhaps ethereal wasn’t the right word.

It possessed a soul but had no physical form.

It was very similar to a being Su Qing had eliminated before.

"Su Qing..."

"A pleasure to finally meet. Your soul looks quite delectable."

The being’s opening words immediately displeased Su Qing.

It was an existence akin to plankton.

Like a floating puddle of water.

Or perhaps something even less substantial.

"So does yours."

"There are lines one shouldn’t cross when interrupting someone. If you don’t give me an explanation, I expect your soul will soon become my sustenance," Su Qing said, calmly gazing at the being.

An aura from his Great Dao Wheel erupted from his body.

And the flow of time around them gradually ground to a halt.

"Heh, go ahead and devour it. This is merely a tiny Split Soul of mine."

"Name your price for the seal of the Taichu Daoist Palace."

"We prefer to do things the polite way."

"I’m not making a deal."

"And you can’t afford my price anyway."

Su Qing shook his head.

This being’s Dao Path felt familiar.

It seemed like the Devouring Dao Path, yet it also strongly resembled a pure Soul Path.

"Now, don’t be so certain."

"Su Qing, if the gentle approach fails, the powers that have gathered here are more than willing to resort to force."

"We’ve been investigating for a long time."

"We’ve noticed two little human girls... It’s clear you care a great deal about them, wouldn’t you say?"

The moment the words were spoken,

it wasn’t just the time around them that froze.

Even the puddle-like soul itself began to stiffen, its thoughts slowing to a crawl.

But it was still oblivious.

"Are you courting death?" Su Qing’s Great Dao Wheel instantly obliterated the being’s soul.

The creature’s Split Soul was incredibly weak.

But Su Qing didn’t linger.

His figure vanished from Jianmu.

Outside was an intricate creation resembling a massive Flying Shuttle.

But it was forged from soul.

"He’s coming. He’s furious."

"Get ready."

The soul-form being controlling the massive soul-forged Flying Shuttle was ecstatic.

It had just notified the outside clans and factions,

inviting them to besiege Su Qing together before fighting over the seal.

Su Qing didn’t understand the language,

but that didn’t stop him from hearing the elation in its voice.

Something began to form in Su Qing’s hands.

"Spear of the Soul."

"World-Purifying Immortal Technique."

The Spear of the Soul materialized like an immense calamity suddenly born within the Cosmos.

As the World-Purifying Immortal Technique emerged,

the smug creature

was instantly impaled and killed by Su Qing’s spear.

’How dare it come when its Soul Power was so inferior to his?’

’How dare it provoke him?’

The so-called soul-forged Flying Shuttle was annihilated along with it.

The soul-forged Flying Shuttle had channeled a powerful force, seemingly on the verge of a soul explosion.

But Su Qing suppressed it with a single hand, his Dao Grinding Disc absorbing all of its power from within.

This terrifying commotion

naturally drew the attention of several other massive Flying Shuttles in the vicinity.

Before Su Qing had finished absorbing the energy,

he saw a colossal hand pressing down on him with the force of a mountain range.

That giant hand possessed Divine Techniques.

As it drew near, Su Qing felt the pressure of the entire expanse of Space bearing down on him.

"Come. I’d like to see what you’ve got."

Su Qing was not the least bit afraid.

The giant hand began to slow down.

The Time Dao Principle had appeared.

Immediately after,

the Space Dao Essence channeled its power.

In a near instant, the giant hand collapsed and dissipated,

exploding into a spray of brilliant golden blood.

Only then did Su Qing realize,

this was a true giant, not some so-called Dharma Aspect.

"What? The direct scion of the Divine King Lineage, Zi Chakong, actually lost? But that was the Divine King’s Power!"

The direct scion of the Beast Race’s Chushui Race, who had been waiting on the sidelines to reap the rewards, was utterly astonished.

The Divine King Lineage possessed powerful Divine Bodies and astonishing Spatial Power.

They were born comparable to beings at the Fifth Step of the Dao Path. Upon reaching adulthood, without any further effort, they would naturally attain the power of the Seventh Step of the Dao Path.

To say nothing of Zi Chakong, a direct scion of the Divine King Lineage.

His prodigious bloodline combined with the Earth Dao Path.

The Earth Dao Path was in no way inferior to the Star Dao Path, but with the enhancement from his bloodline and his own Dao Path,

although his current strength was at the Eleventh Step of the Dao Path, his combat power was at least at the Twelfth Step of the Dao Path.

Among the younger generation, he had few rivals.

To think he would actually lose.

And in a single exchange, he even had an arm crippled.

---

"Trying to see who’s bigger?"

"You must be courting death."

"Heaven and Earth."

In an instant, Su Qing grew larger than the entire Jianmu. He was as vast as the Greed Realm, exuding an incomparably transcendent aura that made him appear sacred.

The being that had seemed like a giant moments before,

was now reduced to the size of an ant by comparison.

A purely visual ant.

"Are you ready?"

Su Qing struck out with his palm.

This entire region of space was sealed.

With a single massive slap,

the other party went silent.

Golden liquid floated all around, seemingly trying to coalesce.

Without a second thought,

Su Qing ripped the surrounding space open again.

He intended to wipe the blood from existence.

"Hold on."

A giant emerged.

The Spatial Power he commanded seemed to be on par with Su Qing’s.

He resisted Su Qing’s spatial tears.

This being was a 1.2 Greed Realm-level existence.

"Your Excellency, I have no desire for conflict. A battle between us would only destroy our surroundings," the giant explained as he recalled the golden blood.

"The seal of the Taichu Daoist Palace belongs to the strong. Anyone who has yet to complete the 12 Steps of the Dao Path is eligible to contend for it."

"We concede. Please forgive our offense."

"You attack when you please and retreat when you please?"

"The audacity!"

Su Qing was completely Fearless.

He turned toward Jianmu and cast his Growth ability on it dozens of times,

ensuring it could protect itself.

Su Qing then turned his attention to the giant.

But no matter how large the giant was,

it was still minuscule before Su Qing’s Heaven and Earth.

"Imprison!"

Su Qing sealed the space around all the massive Flying Shuttles.

"Void Nether Space."

As Su Qing unleashed his ultimate technique,

the surrounding space ripped apart,

revealing a field of absolute blackness.

This blackness was like an endless abyss; anyone sucked inside would be trapped in an infinite spatial loop.

It was no different from being dead.

This was the ultimate power developed from his Void Nether Dao Body.

And now, Su Qing had unleashed it.

Guardians with power comparable to the Greed Realm appeared all around.

But they were still struggling to resist.

In just a short while, even with their Cultivation Techniques, they would be unable to sustain such a massive expenditure of energy.

An offensive like this was simply too terrifying.

Some of the weaker beings had already been permanently lost to the Void Nether, with no hope of escape.

"Your Excellency, consider this. You may be able to defeat us, but with so many of our factions present, even if you win, you won’t be able to protect the Jianmu Omniscience Institute."

"We never intended to have a life-or-death conflict with you."

Almost all the Guardians sent similar messages.

Su Qing pondered for a moment.

His anger finally subsided, and he retracted the power of the Void Nether Space.

Outside, only three different types of Flying Shuttles remained.

"Hmph!"

"Don’t threaten me with the people I care about inside the Jianmu Omniscience Institute."

"That will only drive me into a frenzy."

"That’s what happened to that soul-only creature just now. I don’t care what the rest of you think."

"You’d best stay put."

"Weak and foolish creatures," Su Qing said coldly.

The giant spoke his thanks, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for showing mercy."

Another giant beast also expressed its gratitude, "Thank you, Your Excellency. We will establish friendly diplomatic relations with the Jianmu Omniscience Institute and harbor no other intentions."

A Star-like being also offered its thanks, "Thank you for your mercy."

"You’d best remember this lesson."

Su Qing snorted coldly. As his Heaven and Earth dissipated, Su Qing vanished as well.
