First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1743 - A Sword Severs a Celestial Palace

The dof heaven shook violently.

The night surged and fell like raging tidal waves.

The Tian Wu Divine Seal was like a black sun. The Immortal Kings poured the full extent of their power into it, and it descended upon Su Yi with monstrous murderous intent.

The sky ruptured as easily as if it were made of paper!

It was to the point that even the Laws of the Buzhou Mountains were startled into action, their power churning violently.

The reason for this was simple.

The Tian Wu Divine Seal was brimming with the power of a deity! A power far beyond the Immortal Dao!

As this strike descended, even Su Yi couldn’t help but feel suffocated. He didn’t even need to think to know that with his current power, he had no hope of blocking it. Let alone him, even Wang Ye, the peak among peak Great Realm experts, couldn’t have blocked it!

But Su Yi wasn’t at all flustered.

Over the years, he’d destroyed countless treasures imbued with divine power, including both divine decrees and divine talismans.

The Tian Wu Divine Seal was terrifying, but it was ultimately just a treasure imbued with divine power, not an actual god.

Clang!

The Sword of the Human Realm trembled.

Su Yi directed a portion of the Sword of the Nine Hells’ power into the Sword of the Human Realm. The blue-gray blade shone with deep, dark light.

A moment later, Su Yi leaped through the air and thrust his sword forward.

He was like an arc of light piercing the sun. Unparalleled sword force burst from the tip of his sword, collapsing the skies and sweeping outward in all directions.

The Tian Wu Divine Seal immediately froze in place, and the divine power it unleashed suddenly trembled as if under terrifying suppression.

Wei Xun and the other Immortal Kings looked stricken. All of them sensed that they’d lost control of the Tian Wu Divine Seal.

It was then that the Sword of the Human Realm struck.

Crack!

The Tian Wu Divine Seal split into pieces. Tyrannical sword force crushed and scattered its divine power, which fell down to earth like a rain of light.

“This...” Immortal King Wei Xun’s eyes bulged. He was so startled that his jaw practically fell off.

Who could have imagined that the treasure they saw as their secret killer weapon would break beneath a single attack? It never even got the chance to display its divine might!

That was a secret treasure imbued with the power of their god!! It was enough to threaten the lives of even Great Realm experts!

How could it have broken so easily?

Kong Ye sucked in a breath of cold air, while Ying Xiu breathed in ragged gasps, as if she’d just barely been saved from drowning. Her beautiful face was full of terror and bewilderment.

The power of the Tian Wu Divine Seal had thoroughly intimidated her, body and soul, leaving her on the brink of collapse.

It was only after the seal broke that she cback to her senses.

“If you have any other tricks left, go ahead and use them,” said Su Yi, standing beneath the dof heaven and drawing his finger against the flat of the Sword of the Human Realm.

Without waiting for a response, he shot toward Celestial Palace Mountain.

Boom!

Sword qi swept forth, crisscrossing in the air as if intent on overturning heaven and earth!

All of Celestial Palace Mountain was thrown into upheaval beneath this immense destructive power. The Immortal Kings attacked with everything they had, each drawing the treasures they kept in reserve.

But all of their resistance was ultimately to no avail!

Although no one knew it, after stepping into the Saint Realm, Su Yi’s strength was completely different from before. Simply put, no one beneath the Great Realm could threaten him anymore!

Splurt! Splurt! Splurt!

As sword qi swept outward, several Immortal Kings immediately died brutal deaths, their treasures shattered into pieces and their bodies bursting on impact. Even their souls dispersed.

They were slaughtered like dogs or chickens!

Wei Xun and the others watched in horror. Without exception, their courage wavered.

They attacked like mad, putting their lives on the line, but it was only after clashing with Su Yi that they really understood how terrifying this young Immortal Lord was.

The early and mid-stage Immortal Kings couldn’t even take a single hit. They really seemed like no more than porcelain dogs and clay chickens.

Not one survived!

As for the few late-stage Immortal Kings? Their predicament was dire too. After a brief exchange, they were left coughing up blood and covered in severe wounds!

Su Yi struck with unstoppable force, one man and one sword suppressing a whole group of Immortal Kings!!

One of the Immortal Kings tried to flee, only for Su Yi to intercept and kill him explosively. The stench of blood permeated the air in all four directions as desperate cries arose on all sides. Barely any thad passed, but only three Immortal Kings remained alive!

The three survivors were covered in heavy injuries. Their hair was disheveled, and their faces were full of grief, rage, and terror.

Crunch!

A glittering silver spear snapped, and as sword qi rained down from the heavens, yet another Immortal King died, destroyed in body and soul.

From beginning to end, Su Yi never held back!

“Su Yi! Aren’t you afraid of divine reprisal?” bellowed an Immortal King, his eyes bulging as if about to pop.

Who in this world didn’t know that the Church of All Spirits was backed by a god?

Splurt!

A muffled impact followed, and that Immortal King’s head flew through the air. Even in the last moments before his death, bitterness was written all over his face. It seemed as if he would never have guessed that someone unafraid of gods could exist in this world.

Now, High Chief Libationer Wei Xun was the only one left!

He’d already tried to flee several times, but Su Yi always intercepted him. By now, he’d completely given into despair, and his heart turned to ash.

No matter how shrewd, knowledgeable, and experienced he was, he could never have anticipated that such an enormous disaster would befall them today.

Their opponent was just one person, yet armed with nothing but a sword, he’d swooped in with the night, destroying the Vast Emptiness Heaven-Sealing Formation and the Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation!

He’d swept through their massive armies and slaughtered their Immortal Kings!

Even the artifact granted to them by a god, the Tian Wu Divine Seal, couldn’t withstand a single blow!

As for Kong Ye and Ying Xiu? They were completely dumbstruck, dazed, and rooted to the spot.

“Why don’t I see your leader?” Su Yi walked over to Wei Xun, sword in hand.

Wei Xun said woodenly, “If our leader were here, how could you possibly have gotten away with this?”

Splurt!

Wei Xun’s right arm went flying with a flash of sword light. His face contorted with agony.

“I asked you a question,” said Su Yi.

Wei Xun’s expression shifted erratically, but when he saw Su Yi raise the Sword of the Human Realm to strike once more, he cried out, “If you really want to throw your life away, I’d actually be perfectly happy to bring you to our leader.”

Su Yi’s eyebrows rose. “So, he isn’t on Celestial Palace Mountain?”

Wei Xun seemed to have thrown all his reservations away. He said directly, “Many years ago, our leader left the sect to seek out a mysterious plane. He’s yet to return.”

“Truly?” said Su Yi.

“Of course!” Wei Xun said expressionlessly.

Boom!

Su Yi casually swung his sword.

Not far away, Celestial Palace Mountain split down the midline and collapsed with a bang. All that remained was a massive pile of rubble. The disciples of the Church of All Spirits hiding on its slopes all perished beneath that slash!

Su Yi then swept his gaze across the sky and attacked twice more.

Kaboom!

Each strike cleaved into the hidden entrance to another plane. The portals split and collapsed.

Those had been two hidden realms under the control of the Church of All Spirits. When the entrances broke, the hidden realms collapsed.

There was no need to think to know that whoever had been hiding inside was doomed beyond a doubt!

Wei Xun’s eyes bulged as if about to pop. He was overcwith grief and despair.

Celestial Palace Mountain had been destroyed, and its hidden realms were destroyed... their base really had been completely flattened!

“So, he really isn’t here,” murmured Su Yi.

He’d suspected that the leader of the Church of All Spirits had been hiding somewhere nearby. Now, he finally believed what Wei Xun had told him.

Su Yi turned to look at Kong Ye and Ying Xiu. “I’ll leave the cleanup to you.”

“Got it!” said Kong Ye.

Su Yi nodded, then grabbed Wei Xun and sealed his cultivation base. “You lead the way. Taketo your leader.”

Wei Xun took a deep breath, but in the end, he said nothing. He just pointed into the distance.

Su Yi then shot off, dragging Wei Xun along. Before long, both of them had disappeared into the boundless night.

Heaven and earth returned to stillness. Everything was desolate on all sides.

Kong Ye looked around, taking in the devastation, the fragmented corpses, and the broken treasures. When the wind blew past, it brought with it the lingering smell of blood.

For a moment, it just didn’t seem real. Kong Ye felt as if he were dreaming. He crushed a massive faction backed by a god in the tit takes to brew a cup of tea!

Ying Xiu stood beside him in a daze. All she could think was, Is there anything in this world the Sovereign cannot do?

Tslipped by.

Suddenly, startled cries rang out from afar, shaking Kong Ye and Ying Xiu out of their reverie. Master and apprentice turned to look, then realized that Sect Leader Qi Xiaozhen had arrived with a group of their sectmates.

But... all of them were startled too. Their eyes widened, and their jaws hung slack.

The sight of their astonishment sent yet another wave of emotion crashing through Kong Ye and Ying Xiu’s hearts. I can’t blthem! Anyone who chere and saw this blood-stained vision of ruin would find it hard to believe, right?

......

......

Meanwhile, further away.

Beneath the ink-black skies.

Two groups of experts were rushing over. They were from the Divine Jade and Divine Fulcrum Pure Lands.

“I just hope that Su Yi won’t fall flat on his face,” a higher-up of the Divine Fulcrum Pure Lands said gravely.

“We’d best prepare for the worst. No matter how heaven-defying Su Yi is, he’s just one person. There’s no way he’s a match for the entire Church of All Spirits!” whispered a gray-robed man from the Divine Jade Pure Lands.

They’d been invited to watch the battle. When they first heard that Su Yi planned to flatten the Church of All Spirits, they almost thought they were having hallucinations.

In the end, after Sect Leader Qi Xiaozhen of the Jadelight Pure Lands personally extended an invitation, they decided to cwatch despite their skepticism.

But neither the Divine Jade nor the Divine Fulcrum Pure Lands thought highly of Su Yi’s chances!

The reason for this was simple. The Church of All Spirits had both a divine backer and terrifying foundations. How could just anyone provoke them?

Someone else shook his head. “I’m actually rather hoping for a miracle. Alas, in the face of absolute power, Su Yi has little hope of victory.”

“We’d best make ample preparations and be ready to flee the moment we sense trouble. We cannot let ourselves get swept into this storm simply because we decided to watch the battle.”

“That’s right. We ought to do just that.”

As they conversed, the two groups of experts arrived at Celestial Palace Mountain.

Or rather, what remained of it.

“Eh? Where is Celestial Palace Mountain?”

To their astonishment, the hbase of the Church of All Spirits was nowhere to be seen!

When they drew closer, all of them were flabbergasted. Their eyes widened with astonishment.

The sight before them was so unbelievable that they almost thought they were hallucinating once more!
