First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1214 - The Spear’s Target

A chaotic aura rose from the gray vine, and a single burst of forceful, tyrannical aura dispersed the tribulation light.

Bang!

The hundred-plus-foot streak of tribulation light shattered with a bang.

As soon as the shock passed, the colorfully dressed woman looked over, her face still pale.

The one wielding the gray vine was none other than the blue-robed young man who’d just traversed the waves to get here!

“What...?” The woman’s beautiful eyes widened in apparent disbelief. The other Servants of the Dao gasped too.

That tribulation light threatened the lives of even World Kings, yet a Profound Unity Emperor had blocked it?

Simply unbelievable!

Boom!

Before they could wrap their heads around it, tribulation light exploded out of the abyss’s depths, violently shaking the ten-thousand-foot treasure pagoda. It seemed as if it might fall at a moment’s notice.

The Servants of the Dao all looked stricken. They poured their strength into the formation, not daring to divide their attention.

But this time, the tribulation light surging from the depths of the abyss was even more terrifying than before; it was like a volcanic eruption.

In but a few blinks of the eye, cracks appeared on the pagoda manifested of the formation. It was severely damaged.

All thirteen Servants of the Dao circulating the formation suffered the resulting backlash. Some coughed up blood, while others paled or let out muffled grunts as they staggered backward.

The entire formation showed signs of falling apart.

“Dammit!”

“Why is this happening?”

“Quick, send a message to the Officiant! We need help!”

The Servants of the Dao were frantic; they realized how dire the situation was.

It was then that Su Yi’s calm voice rang out. “Allow me.”

Clang!

The Dark and Gold Fortune Vine transformed into a sword in his grip.

He then raised his right arm and pointed his sword at the firmament.

Boom!

Throughout the surrounding skies, the boundless power of chaos boiled over and surged toward Su Yi’s sword like mad, as if it had been summoned.

The Thirteen Servants of the Dao couldn’t help but look stunned.

“He... can actually control and direct the source energies of the Sea of Chaos?” someone exclaimed in astonishment.

“Don’t forget that this fellow Daoist just saved Fellow Daoist Minghe’s life,” someone said softly. They glanced at the colorfully dressed woman.

“That fellow Daoist really is strong!” the colorfully dressed woman said seriously. She was full of gratitude for Su Yi. It was just that she’d been so busy suppressing the tribulation light arising from the abyss that she hadn’t had time to thank him properly yet.

The other Servants of the Dao’s emotions churned. They thought back to when Su Yi traversed the Sea of Chaos without relying on any external items, like a fallen immortal.

They also recalled how Su Yi had intervened right in the nick of time, shattering a streak of tribulation light to save the colorfully dressed woman’s life.

Now, a casual swing of his sword drew upon the chaos power throughout the surrounding area. Who could fail to realize that the Emperor they’d disregarded was actually an incredible existence?

As they pondered, Su Yi leaped into the fray and swung his sword.

Boom—!

As that dull, simple sword descended, endless chaos power descended into the abyss, like the river of heaven breaking through a dam.

The air was thrown into disarray, and the surrounding skies trembled.

It was just one slash, but the tribulation light filling the abyss scattered like rain and dispersed.

But that sword qi infused with the boundless power of chaos continued, its power undiminished, cleaving into the depths of the abyss.

Boom!!

A terrifying impact followed, and rumbling reverberated through the air. A destructive aura permeated the surroundings, making heaven and earth sway violently, as if the skies were about to collapse.

The thirteen Servants of the Dao gasped, their hearts trembling.

What a terrifying strike!

One attack, and he’d ruthlessly suppressed the tribulation light at the bottom of the abyss. It couldn’t have been any more tyrannical.

“Many thanks, Fellow Daoist!” The man in warrior robes was the first to come back to his senses. He clasped his fist in gratitude.

The other Servants of the Dao spoke up too. The way they looked at Su Yi had obviously changed.

Especially the man in yellow, who looked ashamed. “Earlier, I was blind. I spoke rashly and offended your dignity, Fellow Daoist. I humbly request your understanding.”

Su Yi had asked him questions in an attempt to understand the situation, only for the man in yellow to rebuke him irritably and encourage him to leave immediately.

It was for this reason that, although the yellow-robed man was grateful, he couldn’t help but feel awkward.

“It was no trouble at all. Besides, this current development is not yet over,” said Su Yi. As he spoke, he walked over to the abyss and peered down.

The thirteen Servants of the Dao were instantly solemn once more. All of them took control of a section of the formation and readied themselves for what was to come.

“Right, you said that the spear at the bottom of the abyss only started acting up more frequently six months ago?” Su Yi said casually.

He couldn’t tell how deep the abyss was. It looked as if it led all the way to the nine serenities of the Netherworld, and its explosive tribulation light flowed like magma, rumbling and roaring in the abyss’s depths.

It was indistinct, but he could see the war spear floating and sinking within the churning tribulation light. It was just that due to the excessive distance, he couldn’t see it clearly.

“That’s right,” the man in warrior robes said gravely. “The forbidden zone has been turbulent for the past half year, and that’s after close to a thousand years without any unusual movements.”

“It’s as if something stimulated the war spear at the bottom of the abyss half a year ago, awakening it from its dormancy. It’s acted up six times since!”

“Every time, it stirs up violent, explosive tribulation light. Like it’s trying to escape the abyss.

“Furthermore, every attempt is more terrifying than the last.”

“This time, the strange movements at the bottom of the abyss were completely beyond our imagination. Fellow Daoist, if you hadn’t come to our aid just in time, we would surely have paid a grievous price already.” As he spoke, the man in warrior robes felt lingering terror, and he visibly rejoiced at Su Yi’s timely intervention.

Su Yi sank into thought.

Half a year ago. That was when he entered the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals!

He’d spent the past half year in seclusion on a desolate island in the Sea of Chaos. During that time, that spear not of this epoch had repeatedly acted up!

Is there a connection?

Qin Chongxu came here because of reincarnation, and he relied on that spear to trigger the catastrophe that devastated the Dark and Gold Star Realm.

Has the spear perhaps sensed the aura of reincarnation upon me?

But before Su Yi could give the matter any further thought, something unexpected happened.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking rumbling suddenly arose from the bottom of the abyss. It was as if the lava-like tribulation light were suddenly erupting!

The Servants of the Dao were astonished, and their scalps went numb. Why is this happening!?

They’d protected this place for countless years, but this was their first time seeing such terrifying movements at the bottom of the abyss.

The aura alone practically made the World Kings’ souls leave their bodies.

Su Yi’s brow furrowed; he could sense icy, bone-piercing murderous intent locking firmly onto him!

The spear’s aura was shooting out of the abyss, like a long-dormant vicious beast setting its sights on him!

These disturbances really are targeting me! Su Yi was finally certain. He didn’t hesitate to swing his sword.

The Sea of Chaos churned. The boundless chaos source energy swept toward Su Yi’s sword like ocean winds, gathering around it as he slashed with a bang.

At that moment, Su Yi was like the sovereign of the Sea of Chaos. Chaos source power gathering around his attack.

He controlled it as he might his own fingers!

Boom—!

The entire forbidden ground was in disarray.

Su Yi’s sword qi clashed with the eruption of tribulation light. Terrifying destructive power ran rampant, exploding and collapsing the surrounding skies.

None of the Thirteen Servants of the Dao dared be negligent. All of them circulated the formation with all their might to stop the spread of the destructive aura.

But a moment later, their expressions shifted.

Even just the aftershock of their battle shook the formation, making it shake violently. It was so painful that all of them were on the verge of coughing up blood!

They could imagine it already. If Su Yi hadn’t blocked the impact up ahead, the Servants of the Dao would have paid an unimaginable price just now!

“Hmph!” Su Yi’s gaze frosted over, and he attacked with all his might.

Streak after streak of unstoppable sword intent rose into the air, drawing upon the chaos source power and cleaving into the abyss.

After half a year of seclusion, Su Yi’s cultivation base had fully incorporated the power of Dark and Gold Essence. His spiritual energy was as dense and boundless as chaos.

That aside, over the past half year, he’d continuously divined the mysteries of the Laws of the Dark and Gold Star Realm. His heart, his mind, and will had all long since produced a wondrous resonance with the chaos source of the Dark and Gold Star Realm.

Furthermore, the Dark and Gold Fortune Vine he carried was originally a spirit root born of the Dark and Gold Star Realm. It had an innate ability to manipulate its chaos source.

Thus, even though Su Yi had yet to prove his Dao and become a World King, he could control the source power of the Sea of Chaos as he pleased.

This was what they called “heaven and earth working together!”

Before long, Su Yi’s full-force offensive suppressed the tribulation light at the bottom of the abyss once more!

But before the Servants of the Dao could even sigh in relief, a clear, cloud-piercing hum rang out!

Clang!

Tribulation light surged at the bottom of the abyss, and a bronze spear swathed in immortal qi rose into the air.

A destructive, murderous aura spread out, as if intent on destroying both heaven and earth. Even the firmament shook.

The Sea of Chaos boomed as it was thrown into turmoil.

The thirteen Servants of the Dao panicked, their hearts and minds in agony as they sensed a potentially lethal threat. It felt as if their dooms were imminent.

Meanwhile, Lu Yan had already received word of this development, and he was rushing over at top speed.

When he sensed those unimaginably terrifying energy fluctuations, even this Cosmic Enlightenment Realm survivor of the lost era felt his hair stand on end.

Don’t tell me that the war spear has completely reawakened!?

It was as if he could see the initial onset of that mysterious catastrophe once more, an apocalyptic scene!

“How is this possible....?” Lu Yan frantically charged ahead with all his might.

He was keenly aware that if they let the spear re-enter the world, it wouldn’t just destroy the Sea of Chaos. It would destroy the entire Graveyard of Fallen Immortals, and the Dark and Gold Star Realm would face unimaginable calamity!

But it was then that smug, excited laughter emanated from Su Yi’s body. “Hahaha! From this day forth, this lofty one shall control the power of reincarnation!”

The voice came from within the snowy, slender skeletal hand the mysterious Luo Yao had left behind!

That fake amnesiac? Su Yi’s eyebrows rose.

But before he could give the matter any further thought, the spear emanating immortal qi shot out of the depths of the abyss swathed in radiant tribulation light.

An apocalyptic aura spread out, filling the surrounding area.
