First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1028 - Like the Descent of a God Or Immortal

The formation broke, and energy scattered and swept outward.

Flickering light and shadow reflected on Wen Lingxue, Cha Jin, and the others’ faces. All of them visibly gave into despair, and their expressions filled with bitterness.

A’Cang was the calmest of all. She wiped the golden blood from the corners of her lips and slowly looked up at the skies above Meteor Abyss.

Ye Yunjia’s gaunt frame hovered there, his gaze cold and cruel. He was looking right down at them.

When he met A’Cang’s gaze, a playful smile tugged at his lips. “I’m well aware that you’re certain to struggle until the very end and risk it all, but… I won’t give you the opportunity!”

Boom!

He swung his sleeves, and a scroll painting floated into the air, unfurling above Meteor Abyss.

The scroll depicted a mountain range. The boundless landscape was permeated with mist, and it stretched as far as the eye could see, like the most ancient and desolate of worlds.

A terrifying suppressive power emerged and enveloped the top of Meteor Abyss.

“They call this treasure the Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue. It’s an ancestral treasure of the Ye Family, and it was refined with energies drawn from the source of the Mysterious Blue Realm. When unleashed, it’s as if an entire world is suppressing you,” Ye Yunjia said leisurely. “Although this treasure struggles to display its full power here on the Azure Continent, it’s more than enough to snuff out your paltry counterattacks.”

As he spoke, he silently activated the diagram’s power.

Boom!

The scroll lit up, and the landscape rose and fell. It really did seem like a miniature world was slowly bearing down on the depths of Meteor Abyss. Even the air collapsed and shattered

A’Cang’s pretty face paled, and her heart sank.

There was no doubt about it. Ye Yunjia was extremely experienced and shrewd. He’d anticipated that they’d risk their lives to fight back, so he preemptively used this secret treasure to stop that from happening.

Furthermore, the Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue really was extremely terrifying. It descended upon them like the curtain of heaven, giving off the impression that there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. It was enough to make one give in to despair!

However, A’Cang didn’t just give up.

She took a deep breath, and her slender figure lit ablaze with dazzling golden firelight. Destructive energy fluctuations spread out around her.

“Miss A’Cang, let me go first!” Ying Que suddenly spoke up. He gave them no chance to stop him. He swayed, then transformed into a hundred-plus-foot-long black flood dragon. He raised his head, swung his tail, and charged at the Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue. He was clearly determined to fight to the death.

“Die!” Ying Que roared, and lightning intertwined across his body. His blood and qi boiled over, and he was fierce beyond measure.

Boom!

As he charged, the Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue trembled as its descent was disrupted.

“Hmph! You overestimate yourself, you paltry little reptile!” Ye Yunjia snorted coldly, then pressed down with his palm.

The Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue lit up and burst with power.

Bang!

It struck Ying Que’s massive frame with immense force, leaving his scales a bloody pulp.

He fought with his life on the line, but against a treasure like the Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue, he was ultimately little more than an egg flinging himself against a rock. One attack was enough to deal him a devastating setback.

Before he could even come back to his senses, firelight flowed forth, and Ying Que was absorbed directly into the diagram and imprisoned within its boundless landscape!

He struggled like mad within the scroll, but it was to no avail.

The blood drained from A’Cang and the others’ faces, and their hearts were on tenterhooks.

Ye Yunjia, however, burst into uproarious laughter. “Dirty beast! Once I’ve dealt with the others, I’ll skin you, pluck your tendons, and use your flesh and bones to brew wine. Then I’ll feast on your soul!”

Boom!

Before his laughter had even finished echoing through the air, Ye Yunjia directed the Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue downward without the slightest politeness. It continued bearing down on Meteor Abyss.

Wen Lingxue and the others’ hearts sank even further.

A’Cang paid this no heed. She pursed her lips, and her slender, snowy fingers danced about, outlining a strange golden diagram in the air. Endless divine flames danced within it.

The more she drew, the paler her face. Her cultivation base was rapidly fleeing her…

Ye Yunjia seemed to notice what she was up to, and he couldn’t help but snort coldly. “I’ve cut off all your escape routes, but you still think you can fight back? That’s nothing but the ravings of a madman!”

Boom!

The Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue lit up, covering Meteor Abyss like an unfurling world. Slopes rose and fell, rumbling as they descended.

Bang!!!

In the face of this terrifying suppressive power, A’Cang’s strange golden diagram froze, suppressed before it could fully condense.

The golden diagram had been on the verge of taking shape, but now, it trembled and showed signs of an imminent collapse.

A’Cang’s delicate frame quivered, and her face was increasingly pale. Drops of golden blood poured down her cheeks.

But she disregarded this completely. Her eyes shone with frenzied determination as she continued slowly outlining the diagram with great difficulty.

Wen Lingxue, Ning Sihua, and the others felt increasingly grief-stricken and helpless.

Because there was nothing they could do to help.

“A mantis trying to block a chariot! Ludicrous!” Ye Yunjia’s cold voice rang out. “It would be a pity if a Xiantian spirit like you died. Even if you long for death, I won’t give it to you!”

He was just about to strike back and trap A’Cang within the Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue when…

Clang—!

The hum of a sword suddenly rang out. It was boundless and ethereal, and it seemed to originate from beyond the nine heavens.

It was a sword hum, that’s all, but Ye Yunjia stiffened, and he felt a pricking pain in his soul as he sensed a lethal threat.

His expression changed dramatically, and without so much as pausing to think, he reached out, grabbed the Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue, and fled into the distance.

What’s going on? A’Cang stiffened. The power revealed within that sword hum made her soul tremble, and her life force seemed to freeze. She felt suffocated.action

However, with the Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue out of the way, the pressure on her sharply decreased. She felt as if a primordial divine mountain had been lifted from her shoulders.

Wen Lingxue, Cha Jin, and the others’ hearts shook. What terrifying sword force! It’s hard to believe that this is the power of a mere sword hum!

And when they saw Ye Yunjia pack up his diagram and flee, they realized that someone had come to save them!!

Although all of this took some time to describe, it happened in the blink of an eye.

Before the sword hum even finished echoing through the air…

Boom!

A streak of sword qi swept over Meteor Abyss. Its forceful, invincible sword intent split the skies as if they were made of canvas, tearing open a massive rift.

The spot where Ye Yunjia had stood just moments prior was completely enveloped in a waterfall of radiant sword light.

When he saw this from a distance, Ye Yunjia’s heart shook, and he gasped. This is the Azure Continent! Who here could unleash such powerful sword intent!?

He instinctively looked into the distance and saw the clouds split. A streak of radiant light was headed right toward him.

Did that attack originate from extremely far away? Ye Yunjia’s heart sank, and his expression filled with solemnity.

As an Emperor, he understood what it meant to have unleashed such power from such a distance. Whoever this person was, their strength was surely far beyond the Spirit Dao cultivators of the Azure Continent!

As he pondered, a streak of flowing light arrived above Meteor Abyss and turned into a tall, upright figure clad in billowing blue robes.

This was none other than Su Yi!

He was still carrying the Xia Emperor on his back.

The light of the heavens was dim and overcast, and their surroundings were desolate. The young man stood there, surrounded by sharp, forceful Dao Light as he gazed down upon the world. It was as if a god or immortal had descended, instantly becoming the most dazzling light throughout heaven and earth.

“It’s you, you little bastard!!” Ye Yunjia recognized Su Yi at a glance, and he was instantly surprised.

Before arriving in the Azure Continent, he’d learned of Su Yi’s glorious accomplishments. Even he had no choice but to admit that Su Yi was an extraordinary, heaven-defying monster. His attainments in the Spirit Dao far surpassed the leading figure of the Ye Family’s younger generation, Ye Xiao.

Even so, Ye Yunjia would never have guessed that Su Yi was the one who’d unleashed that powerful strike!

This was far too unbelievable. He’d assumed that only a fellow Emperor could have unleashed such an attack!

Ye Yunjia was instantly solemn.

Meanwhile, when the people taking refuge at the bottom of Meteor Abyss saw the figure who’d appeared above the chasm, their faces filled with disbelief.

“Big…. Brother Su Yi?” Wen Lingxue’s eyes widened, and she looked dazed. “I’m not dreaming, am I…?”

“You’re not dreaming. That really is His Excellency Su! He’s returned!” Bai Wenqing exclaimed in delight.

“That’s right. That really is Fellow Daoist Su!” Ning Sihua said excitedly.

“No wonder that sword hum contained such a powerful majestic aura…” A heartfelt smile arose on A’Cang’s pallid face. She was severely injured, and she’d lost most of her vitality, but when she saw Su Yi appear, she relaxed completely.

They were in an inescapable predicament, so when they saw that entirely unexpected, familiar figure appear out of nowhere, it came as a massive shock. All of their grief, despair, and uncertainty disappeared in a flash!

“Fortunately, I didn’t arrive too late.” Su Yi swept his gaze across the group at the bottom of Meteor Abyss, then sighed in relief.

He set the Xia Emperor down. “Stay here with them and watch for now.”

Ye Yunjia couldn’t help but laugh. “Little bastard, don’t tell me you want to fight me? After all, as much as I hate to admit it, going by seniority, you ought to call me ‘clan uncle.’”

His eyes flashed, and he didn’t rush to attack.

Because Su Yi’s earlier slash really had startled him. He first wanted to take a little time to get a sense for Su Yi’s abilities. He could decide whether or not he’d attack afterward.

“You think you’re worthy of discussing seniority in front of me? Kneel!” Su Yi flicked his finger and pressed down on the air.

Boom!

A ten-foot golden hand appeared out of nowhere, crushing the skies with a boom as it bore down on Ye Yunjia.

It was a casual, understated palm strike, but the power emanating from it made Ye Yunjia’s smile freeze in place, and his heart shook.

So strong!!

There really is a problem with this kid!

Ye Yunjia drew the Diagram of the Gods of Mysterious Blue without any further hesitation.

Whoosh~

A scene of rising and falling mountains unfurled in the sky, filling the air with firelight.

But the instant it clashed with that golden hand, this ancestral treasure of the Ye Family was sent flying.

It wailed, and its firelight dissipated as it fell to the floor.

This overpowering scene left the Xia Emperor wide-eyed and tongue-tied.

But before he could react, the ten-foot golden hand bore down on Ye Yunjia himself.

Bang!!!

Ye Yunjia resisted with all his might, but he could in no way withstand that suppressive power. In the blink of an eye, his defenses shattered, and he was forced to the ground.

As his knees thudded into the dirt, the ground shattered on impact, filling the air with a cloud of dust.

Just one casual, understated gesture. Su Yi had suppressed an Emperor with a flip of his hand!
