First Immortal of the Sword

One slash broke through the whole group of Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators’ attacks, and moreover, shook their will to fight! 

When they clashed with Su Yi, cultivation against cultivation, both the older-generation cultivators and the younger, recently ascended Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators finally realized just how terrifying Su Yi’s cultivation base was.

They finally understood how Su Yi managed to kill Huan Shanglin and twenty-four other Spiritual Revolution cultivators immediately after overcoming his tribulation and breaking through!

Su Yi was just too strong.

He was only in the early-stage Spiritual Incarnation Realm, but they no longer let that fool them. The strength of his foundation and his attainments in the Dao of the Sword were enough to strike terror into the hearts of even Spiritual Revolution cultivators!

Clang!

A sword hum rang out as Su Yi’s attack proceeded smoothly. He struck like lightning, attacking from afar.

“Kill him!” Huan Tiandu, Lie Chongyang, and the other higher-ups bellowed.

This was a battle they couldn’t afford to back down from, much less lose!

If they lost, the factions behind them would be reduced to stepping stones beneath Su Yi’s feet. They’d either fall apart, or fall prey to other factions eager to divide such a fatty piece of meat!

They couldn’t accept such consequences.

Boom!

A grand battle broke out.

Su Yi’s expression was indifferent. His gaze didn’t so much as ripple with surprise.

An encirclement of this level presented little threat to him now.

Whoosh!

He didn’t hold back. He swung his sword and fought, like a sharp and radiant beam of light carving his way through enemy ranks.

My sword wanders the ten directions, from the blue dome of heaven to the yellow springs below!

A rain of sword qi shot forth, breaking through the treasures descending from all sides and cutting through all manner of miraculous techniques. In the blink of an eye, more than ten Spiritual Revolution cultivators had fallen.

Severed limbs flew through the air, and blood, gore, and bodies rained from the sky. The very air itself was stained red.

Agonized shrieks shook both heaven and earth.

Su Yi seemed no different from a tiger among sheep. His aura was forceful and overflowing. Dao light circulated around him, and he seemed as unfettered as an immortal and as contemptuous as a god.

The second strike!

The third strike!

The fourth strike!

…With every strike, he displayed unstoppable, tyrannical sword force, as if capable of overturning heaven and earth and throwing Yin and Yang into disarray.

It didn’t matter what treasures or divine abilities they threw at him. None could take even a single blow.

As the battle raged on, the Spiritual Revolution cultivators whose reputations shook the nation, who typically gazed contemptuously down upon the masses, fell in swaths.

Like wheat before a farmer’s scythe. Blood and corpses fell like rain. 

Too terrifying!

The distant onlookers trembled from head to toe, astonishment written all over their faces.

Su Yi was fighting all on his own, yet he was killing his way through sixty-three Spiritual Revolution experts, throwing their ranks into disarray. Even the skies were in chaos, and heaven and earth lost their color!

If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, who among them would dare believe a Spiritual Incarnation youth was capable of this?

In the modern world, Spiritual Revolution cultivators reigned supreme. They represented the pinnacle of the Grand Dao!

Any random one of them could reign unchallenged over their respective territories. The rest of the world’s cultivators could only gaze upon them with reverence and awe.

Yet now, these lofty figures long-accustomed to commanding the wind and rain crumbled beneath Su Yi’s attacks like clay chickens and porcelain dogs. 

This bloody spectacle was extraordinarily astonishing!

Boom!

Heaven and earth trembled, and even Starpluck Mountain, a mountain so tall it towered into the clouds, was destroyed in the aftermath. It came crashing down with a bang.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yi had killed more than half of the sixty-three Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators!

“Bastard! You really think we can’t kill you?” Huan Tiandu bellowed, his eyes bloodshot.

Boom!   

A black bone umbrella appeared in his hands, its surface engraved with sixty-four depictions of demonic domains. As the umbrella opened, the sixty-four images manifested as sixty-four illusions, blanketing the skies and blotting out the skies as they enveloped Su Yi.

The Thousand Demon Profound Mirror Umbrella!

The supreme ancestral treasure of the Demonic Huan Family.

When used, it formed layered demonic realms, as if three thousand heavenly demons were descending upon the human realm. 

Huan Tiandu, the highest authority of the Demonic Huan Family, no longer dared hold back. He directly used the strongest killer move at his disposal.

It was now a clash between trump cards.

When Su Yi saw this, his eyes shone with disdain.

Fu Qingyun had told him about the various faction leaders’ supreme ancestral Imperial treasures. Although they’d suffered the corrosive effects of the Prohibition of Ancient Darkness, they were almost as strong as the attack of an early-stage Profound Illumination Realm Emperor. 

At the time, Su Yi thought nothing of it.

Even now, when he saw these killer moves in person, he thought nothing of them.

In a clash of actual abilities, his opponents couldn’t cut it.

In a clash between trump cards, they still couldn’t cut it!

Clang!

Abstruse Celestial shook slightly, and a strange and inscrutable energy fluctuation rose around it. This gave the sword’s aura an additional imposing mysteriousness. 

Su Yi raised his sword and casually swung it.

Heaven and earth were silent, and all of creation trembled. 

Beneath countless astonished gazes, an inscrutable streak of sword qi shot forth, shattering three thousand heavenly demons and blasting through sixty-four demonic realms before cleaving into the Thousand Demon Profound Mirror Umbrella.

The supreme ancestral treasure of the Huan Family shattered with a bang, splitting into pieces. It offered no more resistance than paper mache!

Sword qi tore a perfectly straight rift through the entire stretch of sky. It was as the heavens themselves were collapsing.

“So that… was your true… trump card…” Huan Tiandu’s eyes bulged, and his raspy voice started and stopped.

Bang!

His tall, withered frame shattered like porcelain. Countless chunks fell from the skies. 

He was dead, and his Dao had perished with him!

Seeing this pushed the remaining Spiritual Revolution cultivators to the brink of mental collapse.

Even the ultimate, clan-protecting treasure of the Huan Family couldn’t take so much as a single hit from Su Yi. Who wouldn’t have given in to despair?

Suddenly, Lie Chongyang bellowed,

“Activate!” 

Why had he done this? Because Su Yi was rushing right toward him, sword in hand. Lie Chongyang immediately activated his last resort, not daring to hold back.

Boom!

A simple, old-fashioned blue Daoist seal floated up, blazing with enraged, fiery light. The river of stars poured down like a waterfall, descending upon Su Yi.

This Dao Light consisted entirely of profound astral qi!

The Profound Astral Galaxy Seal was Tianji Dao Mountain’s secret treasure. It was emblazoned with the will of three Emperors, and even the barest wisp of its aura could collapse mountains and rivers.

Now, Lie Chongyang activated it to its full potential and attacked Su Yi!

Practically simultaneously, the Burning Sun Sect’s Zhao Beizhen, Clarifying Origins of the Pure Emptiness Buddhist Sect, Yue Changqiong of the House of the Skywalking Sword, and the other experts activated their trump cards without hesitation.

Boom!

A tripod cauldron took to the skies, blazing with flames permeated with the aura of the Netherworld. Misty light stretched for one hundred thousand feet, as if the entire sky were blazing with bright red flames.

The Nine-Nether God-Burning Cauldron, the sect-protecting treasure of the Burning Sun Sect.

Whoosh~

A snow-white fly-whisk waved in the air, filling the sky with silver light, like an endless, radiant downpour, a beam of flowing light swathed in a sharp, lethal aura. 

The Spirit Firmament Whisk.

The Pure Emptiness Buddhist Sect’s supreme legacy treasure.

Yue Changqiong, Fei Yun, and He Lianqi took out a black flying sword, a scepter studded with starlight, and a rope stained with the true blood of a yao god.

Every treasure emanated monstrous and terrifying pressure. All seemed comparable to treasures of the Imperial Realm; their power was unimaginable!

When these treasures surged together, everything within ten thousand feet wailed as if on the verge of collapse.

The distant onlookers felt dazed, as if their hearts and minds were overcome with terror and no longer under their control.

This was just too terrifying!

It was as if they’d witnessed the descent of numerous Emperors, all targeting Su Yi!

Even an early-stage Profound Illumination Emperor would have to take precautions against such an onslaught, thought Su Yi.

With his experience, he could discern how terrifying this onslaught was at a glance. It was far beyond the Heavenly Demon Heaven-Slaughtering Formation he’d faced earlier.

But then, this was now a clash between external power. Su Yi naturally wasn’t stupid enough to face this with nothing but his own raw strength.

“Break!” His eyes flashed like cold lightning as Abstruse Celestial flashed through the air.

Boom!

The profound celestial qi pouring down like a waterfall split as inscrutable, mysterious sword light cut right through it.

The sword light continued ahead, its power undiminished, and cleaved into the Profound Astral Galaxy Seal.

The seal was an ancient, supreme treasure that had lasted countless years, yet now, it split down the middle as if it were made of tofu.

Splurt!

Lie Chongyang’s eyes bulged as a streak of red appeared on his throat.

Then, his head silently fell from his shoulders.

This slash hadn’t just shattered the seal; it even killed its user, exterminating him both body and soul!

Meanwhile, Clarifying Origin’s Spirit Firmament Whisk, Zhao Beizhen’s Nine-Nether God-Burning Cauldron, and the various other killer weapons descended.

In the face of their joint onslaught, Su Yi took a deep breath, then unleashed the profundities of the Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword.

Boom!

Five sword mountains appeared and descended ruthlessly. Each of the five mountains was full of three types of Grand Dao Mysterious Truths: Genesis, Void Cosmos, and the Supreme Palace, as well as a faint, nigh-indiscernible, and mysterious aura.

The power of the Sword of the Nine Hells!

Earlier, when Su Yi killed Huan Tiandu and Lie Chongyang, a trace of the Sword of the Nine Hells’ power was wrapped around Abstruse Celestial. 

Now, this same power was on display within the Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword.

Boom!

Heaven and earth collapsed, and everything fell apart.

The entire stretch of sky was full of dazzling light, which swept forth like the tide.

Each of the mountains descended amidst an indomitable, destructive aura. Each destroyed a terrifying treasure, shattering it into pieces.

What Nine-Nether God-Burning Cauldron? What Spirit Firmament Whisk? They might well have been able to kill Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators with ease, but in the face of the Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword, they amounted to little more than paper mache.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

The shattering of treasures rang out in rapid succession. The clashes were intense, leaving Clarifying Origins, Zhao Beizhen, Yue Changqiong, and the other older-generation experts no time to react. The sword mountains crushed them on the spot.

In truth, without their killer weapons, these experts whose cultivation bases had been corroded by the Prohibition of Ancient Darkness were no different from ordinary Spiritual Revolution cultivators.

How could they possibly block the Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword?

Misty light spread out, like a flood of destructive power.

Only Su Yi stood between heaven and earth, sword in hand, like an ancient, unmovable divine mountain!

Twenty or so remaining Spiritual Revolution cultivators were watching from far away. When they saw this, what little remained of their will to fight collapsed.

“Run——!” Someone shrieked in panic and despair, then turned tail and fled.

Immediately afterward, the others scattered like monkeys fleeing a fallen tree. They activated their secret arts and fled, like dogs who’d lost their masters, scattering in all directions. 

Before, every one of them was lofty and majestic.

Yet now, Su Yi had scared them out of their wits. Without exception, their will to fight crumbled!

But how could Su Yi just sit back and watch as they escaped?

After all, before the battle even began, he proclaimed that heads would roll and blood would run like a river!

“Go!” Su Yi’s wrists turned, and as he slashed, Abstruse Celestial let out a clear hum.

My sword wanders the ten directions, from the blue dome of heaven to the yellow springs below!

It was the same attack as before.

Throughout the surrounding area, the twenty-or-so Spiritual Revolution cultivators fleeing in different directions fell, cut down on the spot. 

Not one survived!
