First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1285 - Save Me, Ancestor!

All of these Cosmic Enlightenment Realm World Kings hailed from peak factions, and each controlled a star realm’s supreme Celestial Law. Their foundations were firm, their treasures shocking. All of them were far beyond ordinary cultivators of the same realm.

But Su Yi broke through nineteen Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings’ joint attack in a single slash!

Wei Shan watched from within the immortal palace. Even he, who was more familiar with the Temple Master than just about anyone, was unwittingly stunned.

He’s just a reincarnation, and he barely has Heavenly Longevity Realm cultivation, so how is he this strong?

The word ‘fierce’ is insufficient to describe him!

But Su Yi found it a bit of a pity.

He’d poured all of his strongest methods into that slash, holding nothing back.

But in the end, he had only managed to break their joint attack, that’s all. And here he’d thought he’d determine victory and defeat in a single slash.

“Everyone, I warned you a long time ago that he’s most likely an old schemer hiding his cultivation base. He’s trying to make us complacent, disguising himself as a pig so he can eat a tiger!” Feng Yunlie said icily. “I’m sure you can see it now too. If we don’t use everything we’ve been keeping in reserve, there’s no way we can stop him!”

The crowd’s expressions filled with uncertainty. All of them had grown shrewder with age, and they knew that certain unique, secret treasures could disguise both the cultivation base and one’s bone age!

The young man in blue was far too young. The cultivation base and bone age he displayed made it extremely easy for his opponents to get complacent.

“Fortunately, you warned us in time, Fellow Daoist. Otherwise, that insidious bastard might well have caught us off guard,” said Wu Huasheng, his expression overcast.

One strike, and he broke through nineteen Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings’ joint offensive. How could a Heavenly Longevity cultivator possibly have achieved this?

He was certain that it was just as Feng Yunlie said; their opponent was hiding his true cultivation, and although he looked young, he was actually a terrifying older-generation expert!

“Strange. You’re so strong, so you’re surely no ordinary person. Why hide your cultivation and origins? Don’t tell me you’re afraid we’ll see through you?” Yu Qing’an’s brow furrowed as he locked onto the distant Su Yi.

This was exactly what the others found confusing too.

Before Su Yi could answer, Feng Yunlie said coldly, “You still don’t understand? He’s definitely from the Nine Heavens Pavilion! He might... even be Yan Daolin in disguise!”

This declaration left the crowd stunned.

Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

So what if you’re a Cosmic Enlightenment World King? The moment you bump into something you can’t understand, you still scramble to find an explanation that makes sense.

This has always been a source of misunderstandings.

But the thought that they’d mistaken him for Yan Daolin gave him an idea. The old bastard tried to make a scapegoat out of me. Why not do the same to him?

Thus, Su Yi just laughed. He neither argued nor admitted to anything.

But this only increased the crowd’s confidence that Feng Yunlie had been right on the mark. This young man had to be hiding his origins and cultivation base. Even if he wasn’t Yan Daolin, he was surely inextricably connected to the Nine Heavens Pavilion!

All of them inwardly cursed the Nine Heavens Pavilion out. You’re despicable! You said you weren’t going to get involved, but you still sneakily sent someone in to seize this good fortune. How dishonest and low is that?

“I’ll give you an opportunity. Leave now, and I won’t pursue past grievances any further,” Su Yi said plainly.

This was a competition for good fortune; there was no deep grudge between them. Besides, he wanted to pin the blame for this on Yan Daolin; there was naturally no need to kill these people.

“You won’t pursue past grievances? Do you really think your victory is assured?” Feng Yunlie laughed.

He couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time talking. Instead, he waved his hand. “Everyone, it’s time to use whatever cards you’ve been holding in reserve!”

“Got it.”

“Naturally.”

Wu Huasheng and Yu Qing’an both agreed.

Su Yi’s brow furrowed, but before he could say anything, the experts of all three camps attacked.

“Hah!” Feng Yunlie bellowed and summoned an eye-catching, resplendent black spear. Radiant golden light flashed at its tip, and its aura was terrifying and tyrannical.

The Misfortunate Annihilating Divine Spear!

This was one of the top divine weapons of the Blue Luan Spirit Race. Its power was unfathomable, and it could suppress and kill even Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings.

As this treasure entered the world, heaven and earth shook. Indomitable, sharp, murderous intent swept outward, slicing open countless rifts in the sky.

“Rise!” Wu Huasheng’s sleeves billowed as he drew a bronze axe shaped like a half moon. It was carved with countless, intricate, mysterious markings, and dazzlingly bright silvery starlight rose from its surface, swaying like a miniature galaxy.

The Star-Refining Divine Axe!

This was one of the seven supreme treasures of the Church of the River of Stars. They said that a single strike could bring about the fall of ten thousand stars, and that it could destroy heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, Yu Qing’an flung a red-hot, blazing furnace. It had three feet and two handles, and it was red throughout. Nine winding, lifelike Azure Dragons clustered around the opening.

The low, boundless roars of dragons echoed throughout heaven and earth.

The Nine Dragon Firespirit Tripod Cauldron!

A precious treasure of the ancient Yu Family. Rumor had it that in ancient times, a legendary progenitor of the Yu Family forged it personally, and it supposedly contained a true Azure Dragon’s soul!

The rest of the three camps’ World Kings each took out their killer weapons.

Talismans, ancient treaures, fragments of Daoist canons, etcetera.

The entire area instantly seemed to boil over, distorting the skies.

The massive, blood-colored vortex of electricity hovering beneath the dome of heaven was thrown into disarray, apparently unable to withstand the treasures’ terrifying power.

Many of the countless Revenants hidden within the vortex couldn’t dodge in time, and they quickly perished in a puff of green smoke.

They died quite unjustly, too, as they never once appeared on the battlefield.

Yet they’d nonetheless become collateral damage.

But no one paid that any heed.

Everyone drew upon the cards they’d kept in reserve, focusing all their firepower on Su Yi.

As Su Yi watched this unfold, his gaze frosted over, and dense murderous intent arose within his heart.

I warned them out of the goodness of my heart, but it seems obvious that they’re not willing to let this go!

“Do you really think your so-called killer moves can turn the situation around?” Su Yi said with a cold laugh.

With a swing of his sleeves, the Southern Mountain Seal rose into the air swathed in immortal light.

It had been damaged during his earlier battle with Lady Snowjade of the Six Desires Demonist Sect, but now, it displayed power terrifying almost beyond imagination.

Boom!

The Southern Mountain Seal slammed over, scattering the firelight filling the skies and creating a massive hole in the air.

Many of the World Kings’ killer weapons shattered on the spot. Beneath the Southern Mountain Seal, they offered no more resistance than paper.

Only the Misfortunate Annihilating Divine Spear, Star-Refining Divine Axe, and Nine Dragon Firespirit Tripod Cauldron could contend with it, albeit just barely.

But all they could do was hold it back.

Meanwhile, Su Yi gripped the Dark and Gold Fortune Sword and attacked.

Whoosh!

His figure flashed with flowing light, shifting unpredictably, as quick as teleportation.

And his sword was astonishingly fast. In the blink of an eye, an expert of the ancient Yu Family took a sword through the throat.

Even more surprising was that the deceased didn’t even have time to react. It was only as his body and soul were destroyed that terror and astonishment appeared on his face.

But this was only the beginning.

Su Yi simultaneously directed the Southern Mountain Seal and darted about the battlefield, charging right into his enemies’ ranks and launching a massacre.

Boom!

Treasure lights collided, and divine flames swept outward.

The Southern Mountain Seal was far too terrifying. It was as if a deity had hefted a divine mountain, only to fling it into the mundane world. It was barbaric and tyrannical, and even the skies shattered and broke.

How could the trump cards of Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings contend with a Transcendent treasure?

But Su Yi’s massacre was even more terrifying.

He unleashed the full extent of the Laws of Flying Light. His sword flashed, and wherever he pointed it, someone died on the spot.

Too terrifying!

Even though his opponents had long been on guard against him, they still seemed completely inept in the face of Su Yi’s terrifying attainments in the Dao of the Sword. He cut his opponents down in a flash.

One was sliced open, chest to belly.

One had their head cleaved clean off.

One exploded into bits.

And another had his throat run through.

...Desperate, agonized cries rose throughout the tumultuous landscape, tinged with bitterness and terror. Blood and scattered flesh sprayed the air, and chaotic energy currents churned. Heaven and earth were dyed red.

“Quickly! Hurry up and run!”

One of the World Kings broke down, shrieked in terror, and fled like mad.

When the three camps first joined forces, they were full of confidence. They thought that no matter who their opponent was, they’d take him down with ease.

They figured that even if they ran into unexpected waves, they could rely on their killer weapons and trump cards. They had no intention of letting Su Yi off.

But when it came down to a struggle, they realized on a visceral level what fear really was!

Their opponent had the bearing of an immortal. He swung his sword throughout the battlefield, seemingly invincible. Nothing could stand in his sword’s way, and there was nothing it couldn’t break. His strength had reached astonishing heights. Just a few short breaths and more than ten Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings had perished on the spot! This was a crushing defeat. Who wouldn’t have been astonished?

Naturally, now that they’d really come to blows, Su Yi wouldn’t let his enemies flee.

Boom!

He used the Laws of Restricting the Profound to direct the Southern Mountain Seal. It was as if the entire stretch of heaven and earth had been sealed off. The few enemies that remained felt as if they'd sunk into a swamp!

Two of the fleeing World Kings had already made it quite far away when they were cut down, dead before they could break free of the Laws of Restricting the Profound.

Su Yi’s quick, crisp methods left the others so panicked that their souls practically left their bodies.

“After reincarnating, Young Master is far stronger than he was in the Heavenly Longevity Realm in his past life...”

Wei Shan watched the bloodshed and Su Yi’s magnificent bearing from within the immortal palace. He keenly detected that the young master was significantly stronger than he’d been at the same cultivation in his life as the Temple Master!

The Temple Master had managed to kill Cosmic Enlightenment enemies as a Heavenly Longevity cultivator too, but at an enormous price. He couldn’t possibly do it with such casual ease.

Only six people remained: three members of the Blue Luan Spirit Race, two members of the ancient Yu Family, and Wu Huasheng. He was the only survivor from the Church of the River of Stars!

All of them had expressions full of alarm, and all of them looked terrified; their courage had clearly given out.

Their killer moves and trump cards were no use, and the enemy had routed them completely. They’d suffered dire casualties. None of them had anticipated anything like this.

What really left them on the verge of despair was that their hopes of escape already seemed fleeting!

When he saw Su Yi approach with the intent to kill, Feng Yunlie no longer dared to hesitate. He bit through the tip of his tongue, spat a mouthful of blood essence onto a talisman, and shouted,

“Save me, Ancestor——!”
