First Immortal of the Sword

Pu Jue had gray hair and purple eyes. A bright yellow robe covered his lean frame, and from the moment he opened his mouth, he seemed utterly forceful and contemptuous. 

Unlike ordinary Spiritual Revolution cultivators, his blood and qi were as firm as iron and dense as a mountain. Every movement had imposing momentum.

Huan Tianxu and the other four Spiritual Revolution cultivators Su Yi had killed previously weren’t even remotely comparable to Pu Jue.

Even Ye Changchun of the Kunwu Mountain Ye Family was slightly inferior.

Su Yi could tell at a glance that although Pu Jue was a Purple Moon Fox, he wasn’t a soul cultivator. Rather, he was a body cultivator, someone who proved his Dao through the power of his fleshly body!

This was rather unusual. After all, the Purple Moon Foxes' loftiest inheritances were all true sacred canons of soul cultivation.

However, Su Yi quickly understood.

There was no doubt about it. The Purple Moon Foxes had realized that soul cultivators’ methods were completely useless against him, which was why they’d instead sent Pu Jue, a body cultivator.

“Young lord Su, this time will be different. If at all possible, please return our Baleful Metal Gourd and refrain from getting involved in this any further,” Pu Surong said earnestly.

Su Yi laughed. “I never go back on my word.”

Pu Surong fell silent.

Su Yi rose from his wicker chair. “You Purple Moon Foxes have actually been rather forthright about all this, and you’ve never once resorted to insidious or despicable tricks. If for no other reason, I won’t make trouble for you when you lose this time either.”

Pu Surong couldn’t help but sigh and shake her head.

Her impression of Su Yi wasn’t bad at all. Even after losing to him, she didn’t particularly hate him.

However, his utter intractability gave her an enormous headache.

“Lose?” Pu Jue frowned. “We’ve yet to determine a victor. Don’t get ahead of yourself.”

“You really chose a good moment to arrive. I’m about to undergo tribulation and break through. But then, it shouldn’t be a problem.” Having said this, Su Yi pointed up at the sky. “How about we fight up there?”

Undergo tribulation and break through!?

Pu Surong, Pu Jue, and the others were stunned. Only then did they understand what Su Yi was getting at.

Reading between the lines, he was saying that had they arrived much later, their opponent would no longer be the Spiritual Manifestation Realm Su Yi.

Pu Jue thought for a moment, then said, “I can wait until after you break through.”

Given his cultivation and status, he disdained taking advantage of someone like this.

Su Yi merely smiled in response. Suddenly, he said, “I’ve lost track of how many people have been keeping tabs on me over the past few days, but even after all this time, no one has dared recklessly act against me. Do you know why that is?”

Pu Jue furrowed his brow. “Are you saying that they’re afraid of you?”

With his divine sense, he’d naturally discovered numerous people throughout the area around Nine Tripod City watching what happened here. Their ranks included quite a few experts.

Su Yi shook his head. “Some of them might be afraid of me, but more importantly, they’re waiting for an opportunity. They plan to catch me off guard while I’m undergoing tribulation.”

Pu Jue’s brow furrowed.

In cultivation, there were numerous taboos. One was undergoing tribulation without someone to protect you. Doing so made it easy for enemies to exploit your vulnerability and ruin your breakthrough!

Throughout history, countless mighty figures had perished because enemies broke into their immortal caves and affected their mental states as they underwent tribulation. Such cultivators were destroyed, body and soul.

“Since you know that, why not hide in Nine Tripod City? Why remain here?” asked Pu Jue.

“A tribulation like this cannot stop me,” Su Yi said calmly. “What I’m saying is, you’re welcome to attempt to disrupt and take advantage of my tribulation too. Alternatively, you can choose to wait and see if my enemies succeed in ruining my attempted breakthrough. Both options are highly advantageous to you, and they’ll save me quite a bit of time and effort too.”

Utter silence greeted this declaration. 

Weng Jiu’s eyes bulged. Why is he being so considerate of his enemies at a time like this!?

Even Pu Jue, Pu Surong, and the others were stunned. They could never have guessed that Su Yi would say something like that.

“There’s no need.” Pu Jue firmly refused. Su Yi’s offer only made him even less willing to take advantage of him.

“Then let’s just fight,” said Su Yi. He rose into the air, arriving beneath the dome of heaven.

Instantly, countless gazes turned their way throughout the distant Nine Tripod City and the surrounding area. 

“Someone finally couldn’t resist taking action against Su Yi?”

“Everyone’s been saying that Su Yi has the Seed of the Azure. That’s the greatest fortune of the Radiant Epoch. Who wouldn’t go red-eyed with greed over it?”

“Just wait! We’re surely in for a spectacle!”

Whispered conversations arose throughout Nine Tripod City and the surrounding area.

Su Yi naturally paid them no heed.

He did, however, notice that the old blind man, the Xia Emperor, Wen Xinzhao, and the others were rushing in his direction.

There was no doubt about it; they’d sensed that he was in trouble.

“Don’t get closer,” Su Yi transmitted a warning. “Just watch the show from the sidelines.”

Throughout the surrounding area, fish and dragons intermingled, and dark undercurrents surged beneath the surface. The slightest action could have far-reaching effects, and it would be easy for something to go wrong.

He didn’t want Wen Xinzhao and the others to get swept up in this.

He alone could handle a storm like this.

Whoosh!

Pu Jue soared into the air and stared Su Yi down from a distance.

Beneath the cover of dusk, his lean figure silently surged with the overflowing power of his blood and qi, like a volcano on the brink of eruption. 

And a ten-foot-wide, perfectly round wheel materialized behind him!

It was the color of divine gold, and as it circulated, it reflected an illusory divine mountain. The mountain was towering and majestic, and it emanated divinity.

Boom!

The entire stretch of sky shook, and the clouds dispersed.

Pu Jue’s aura immediately astonished the onlookers, startling countless people.

A late-stage Spiritual Revolution Realm body cultivator!

And one with a first-rate Grand Dao Spirit Wheel too!

Where had someone like this come from?

Everyone was surprised and uncertain.

He’s refined his blood, qi, spirit, and flesh as one, and the power of his physique is comparable to the Undying Golden Bodies of Buddhism. He’s indeed impressive. It’s no wonder that he’s one of the five strongest Spiritual Revolution cultivators in the Bright Skies Realm, thought Su Yi.

“If you please,” said Pu Jue. His robes billowed around him, and his skin shone with faint golden light. His heavy, majestic aura soared into the heavens, terrifying beyond limit.

In the modern Azure Continent, a Spiritual Revolution cultivator like Pu Jue was unquestionably a peak expert!

Su Yi subtly inclined his head but wasted no time talking. He really wasn’t willing to delay any further.

He stepped into the air, his robes swaying around him as he threw a punch at Pu Jue.

Boom!

It was just a simple fist, without the slightest flourish, but it struck with enough force to overturn mountains and seas. 

At Su Yi’s level, every movement drew upon the force of his surroundings, and every gesture contained the wonders of the Grand Dao. His punch might have looked simple, but in truth, its power was unfathomable.

Pu Jue’s expression was cold and hard. He too threw a punch.

He didn’t underestimate Su Yi, so he used his full power right from the start. The golden light of the Grand Dao scattered around his fist, illuminating the landscape.

It even tore a perfectly straight rift through the skies, which rumbled like thunder.

Just like that, a grand battle broke out.

Boom!

The skies seemed to collapse. Divine radiance burst, and turbulent currents swept outward.

As Su Yi and Pu Jue clashed, they were like warring deities. In the blink of an eye, they’d exchanged hundreds of blows, and their battle shook the entire stretch of heaven and earth. Even the sun and moon lost their light.

Without exception, the onlookers were astonished.

Pu Jue was strong. The strength of his physique was comparable to a Spirit Dao treasure; he was like a towering, majestic divine mountain. His every movement was forceful and domineering.

Even watching from a distance felt utterly oppressive. His Spiritual Revolution Realm-level momentum left countless people astonished.

Even the Xia Emperor, Weng Jiu, and the others were stunned. Pu Surong invited a true top expert this time!

However, as time passed, people gradually realized that as strong as Pu Jue was, he couldn’t suppress Su Yi!

On the contrary, Su Yi was suppressing his attacks, one by one!

“Banished Immortal Su really lives up to his reputation! He can even compete with such a powerful Spiritual Revolution cultivator despite his Spiritual Manifestation cultivation base. He’s simply too strong!” Startled cries rang out.

Su Yi was fighting across two realms, but he was nonetheless suppressing his opponent, step by step. Who else beneath the heavens could have achieved this?

Pu Surong and her companions’ expressions filled with alarm and bewilderment.

This time, they’d come prepared. Su Yi could counter soul cultivators’ methods. To avoid that, they went so far as to bring Pu Jue, a peak figure among Spiritual Revolution cultivators.

Who’d have thought that despite the terrifying power of Pu Jue’s physique, he’d be helpless against Su Yi? Of course they were surprised. How could they not be?

“Die!” An explosive shout echoed throughout the heavens, shaking the skies.

Pu Jue attacked with all his might, his aura piercing heaven and earth. His radiant Spirit Wheel revolved around him, as shiny as if it had been forged out of divine gold, making his forceful aura even more terrifying.

Body cultivators saw their bodies as treasuries, and they fully excavated their latent potential. Particularly strong body cultivators could win even ten against one.

And Pu Jue was unquestionably a peak figure among body cultivators. His cultivation base had been tempered far beyond that of his contemporaries. One punch was enough to kill a low-tier Spiritual Revolution cultivator like Huan Tianxu.

Even Ye Changchun, an elder of the Kunwu Mountain Ye Family, would have found it difficult to fend off such tyrannical attacks.

But now, against the merely Spiritual Manifestation Realm Su Yi, Pu Jue hadn’t advanced even an inch throughout their battle!

He used his full power and numerous heaven-shaking secret arts, but Su Yi neutralized each and every attack.

If Pu Jue could fight ten opponents single-handedly, then Su Yi could break through ten thousand abilities on his own!

Even Pu Jue realized this, and his expression filled with unprecedented solemnity.

He’d come here with some understanding of Su Yi, which was why he used his full strength right from the start. He simply didn’t dare treat Su Yi as an ordinary Spiritual Manifestation Ream cultivator.

Even so, he would never have guessed that a young man like Su Yi would have such an unbelievably powerful cultivation base!

“You’ve tempered your cultivation to an extraordinary degree. You’re the first opponent I’ve met thus far worthy of my full strength.” Su Yi nodded in apparent satisfaction. “But you’d still best have your helpers fight with you. Otherwise, you’ll lose beyond a doubt.”

This declaration surprised everyone present.

Su Yi could tell that Su Yi had no intention to belittle or mock him.

Even so, he didn’t like this feeling at all.

Pu Surong, meanwhile, could no longer keep her cool. Without hesitation, she ordered, “Quick, all of you attack together! We cannot lose this battle too!”

The four Purple Moon Fox experts beside her looked at each other, then attacked without reservation.
