First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1354 - Want to Compare Trump Cards?

Amidst the turmoil of heaven and earth.

Su Yi charged into the fray, sword in hand. He was obviously all alone, yet he suppressed the entire battlefield with his invincible momentum.

He truly seemed overwhelmingly domineering, contemptuous, and unrestrained.

What did it mean to be a sword cultivator?

A sword cultivator killed decisively and forged valiantly ahead!

They could be sword demons, sword Buddhas, sword yao, sword immortals, or sword gods... but at a fundamental level, they were sword cultivators!

They sought unsurpassed heights of swordsmanship and freedom, severing the fetters of both benevolence and enmity!

It had been a long time since Su Yi had last fought to his heart’s content.

Ever since arriving in the Divine Capital Star Realm, his karmic ties had tugged him every which way.

From visiting his former home in All Willow City, to the battle at Universal Emptiness Temple and his experiences in the Divine Forge... There were grudges and karmic ties behind it all. It seemed there was no end to them.

These revenants saw him as their common foe, and the enemies of his past longed to crush him beneath their feet. All types of trouble were assailing him relentlessly.

Su Yi had long since grown sick of all this.

Being surrounded by enemies was naturally an incomparable delight.

But if most of his enemies were mere flies, it was unquestionably disappointing. It was especially objectionable since most of these flies were just the Tailor’s unwitting pawns.

Su Yi planned to use this opportunity to display his strength. He was using the lives and fresh blood of a pack of Transcendents as a warning, shaking the mountain to scare the tigers!

He was eager to see who’d dare consort with the Tailor after this!

Clang——!

A violent explosion rang out, and a dazzling golden halberd was forced back.

Its wielder, a Dao Integration Realm revenant, was forced back.

Su Yi seized the opportunity to swing his sword like mad. The resulting attacks swept forth like an avalanche, slaying six Nascent Divinity revenants in rapid succession, as well as three Transcendents of the present day.

Like an axe through bamboo!

Agonized cries rang out repeatedly, and fresh blood sprayed the air.

Mere moments had passed since the battle broke out, but over thirty enemies had already perished beneath Su Yi’s sword.

Su Yi’s imposing presence arced through the air, and he didn’t have so much as a single hair out of place.

Even one against a hundred, no one could stop him!

Throughout the battlefield, it was only the Dao Integration revenants who could contend with him, and even then, just barely.

But even when they joined forces, they couldn’t hold Su Yi back, let alone suppress him.

In truth, before Su Yi reached Cosmic Enlightenment, these Dao Integration revenants really could have fought without fear of his power over reincarnation, making them a real threat.

But time had passed, and he’d changed.

Su Yi was already a Cosmic Enlightenment World King. He wasn’t like before. His strength was sufficient to contend with peak early-stage Dao Integration revenants now, but that wasn’t all.

He could break through Dao Integration revenants’ defenses, so his power of reincarnation now posed an enormous threat to them!

It wasn’t long before more than thirty Transcendents had fallen. The experts of the various factions were frantic and overcome with fury. Their eyes bulged as if about to pop out of their skulls.

Especially the Dao Integration Realm revenants. They directed their treasures and secret arts like mad, all in an attempt to suppress Su Yi’s bluster.

But how powerful was Su Yi?

The Sword of the Human Realm slashed through the air. Sword qi shot forth, cleaving through the firmament and breaking the Transcendents’ joint attack, again and again and again.

All the while, Nascent Divinity Transcendents toppled, one after another.

Ten snaps of the fingers later.

An expert of the ancient Zhou Family was cut down. Even his treasures were destroyed.

Sixteen snaps of the fingers later, the already badly injured Dao Integration Realm Lu Changting was enveloped in a sword rain of the Laws of Reincarnation. He let out a wretched, terrified shriek as his soul scattered into nothingness.

He was the first of the Dao Integration Realm revenants to fall!

Furthermore, his death meant that every expert of Yellow Springs Demon Mountain participating in this battle had been wiped out!

Thirty snaps of the fingers later, Su Yi had slain another thirteen Nascent Divinity revenants. Not even ashes remained of the dead.

Because these revenants were soul bodies to begin with. After the power of reincarnation terminated them, they were effectively wiped from the face of the earth. They left behind no trace of their existence whatsoever.

Within thirty snaps of the fingers, over half of the over one hundred Transcendents had fallen in battle!

The longer the battle raged, the more people gave in to despair. Their enormous casualties had dealt a devastating blow to the survivors’ will to fight. All of them alternated between alarm and fury, their hearts quivering. They couldn’t accept this.

Over a hundred Transcendents!

Including around twenty Dao Integration revenants!

All of them controlled Transcendent-level weapons and secret arts, yet Su Yi singlehandedly dealt them massive casualties, breaking through their ranks. Who could have believed this?

When the far-off onlookers watching from a safe distance took this in, they couldn’t help but fall into a daze.

“So... His Excellency the Temple Master has been prepared this whole time!” someone murmured.

“How ridiculous were we earlier? We actually thought he was surrounded on all sides and unable to escape disaster. Who’d have thought that not even a hundred Transcendents could obscure the radiance of his sharp edge?” someone said in a daze.

“Look at the battlefield! Doesn’t it seem as if an army of immortals are falling beneath His Excellency’s sword?” someone cried out in excitement, his hands and feet quivering.

To the trillions of cultivators across the stars, Transcendents were already no different from immortals.

Yet now, Transcendents were falling like rain!

Were someone to record this, it would shake the world, becoming the most bloody, heart-shaking scene in history!

“‘Even if gods and immortals really exist, they too must avert their gazes before me!’ The Temple Master first said this long ago, and his words are still spoken to this day. They really get the blood racing!”

So what if there were over a hundred Transcendents?

When His Excellency the Temple Master’s sword fell, he’d still reduce them to ash, staining the skies red with blood!

“Everyone, if we don’t use our trump cards, all of us are doomed!” a Dao Integration revenant shouted in fury.

“Then let’s give it everything we’ve got!” that white-robed old man in the Illusory Sword Immortal Tower’s camp said with determination. His hair and beard bristled with anger.

Su Yi had already killed all nine of their Nascent Divinity revenants. This infuriated the old man, and he wanted to go all out.

But then——

Boom!

The white-haired old man suddenly bellowed as a bloodied talisman shot out of his body and transformed into a monstrous, baleful blood sword. Its crimson light soared into the heavens.

“What is that?”

Numerous others paled.

“That’s a true Immortal Dao secret talisman!” someone cried out. “That Illusory Sword Immortal Tower senior activated its power!”

Talismans of the Immortal Dao were beyond the Path of Transcendence. All of them were terrifying beyond limit.

Once awakened, a treasure like this was comparable to a true immortal’s full-force attack!

Boom!

The blood sword rumbled and boomed as it fully awakened. An aura mighty enough to shake heaven and earth instantly descended upon the entire area, suppressing and collapsing the skies on all sides.

Countless people held their breath, feeling more suffocated than ever before.

A Dao Integration Realm revenant sighed. “Alas, the talisman’s power is obviously severely damaged. It’s no longer capable of unleashing strength comparable to an immortal’s full-force attack... At best, it's comparable to a Cloud Soaring Realm expert.”

The Cloud Soaring Realm!

That represented the highest level of power within the Path of Transcendence!

Meanwhile, Su Yi took this in, his gaze as tranquil as the waters of an ancient well. He’d long since anticipated this.

It wasn’t long ago that he clashed with Fu Dongli, a descendant of immortals. Fu Dongli had drawn upon all manner of immortal treasures, and all of them were terrifying to the extreme.

Even Su Yi had been left with no choice but to use the treasures Daoist Master Red Cloud, Sword Immortal Qingshi, and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha had given him to defend himself.

Now, when he saw that bloody immortal sword rise into the air, Su Yi sensed the terrifying power of an immortal secret treasure once more.

Even though he’d already stepped into the Cosmic Enlightenment Realm, his heart felt stifled, and he felt a prickling pain on his skin.

“Cut!” a white-robed elder roared in fury.

Boom!

That bloody immortal sword slashed down at Su Yi. A three-thousand-foot streak of sword qi descended, capable of splitting even the most ancient of mountains. All that remained in the air was a long, thin, blood-colored rift. Its radiance was intense, and the skies shattered beneath it

Everyone instinctively retreated.

Except for Su Yi.

A secret treasure? I’ve got those too!

It was just that he’d disdained to use them prior to this.

“Go!”

Su Yi waved his sleeves, and a sword pellet shot into the air, transforming into far-reaching sword intent with a bang. It was as radiant as the midday skies, with the force and presence of a divine mountain towering into the heavens!

This was the sword pellet Sword Immortal Qingshi had given him, and it contained the essence of his Cloud Soaring Realm Dao of the Sword!

The blood-red immortal sword clashed with the sword pellet. A massive impact rang out, and a rain of unstoppable sword light swept outward.

What surprised Su Yi was that the blood-red immortal sword was incomparably terrifying. In the fierce struggle that followed, it actually broke the sword pellet!

Then, it continued ahead, its power undiminished, and slashed at Su Yi.

Su Yi swung his sword to block it head-on.

Clang!!!

The Sword of the Human Realm shook violently. Su Yi staggered back several hundred feet before just barely managing to steady himself.

The blood-red immortal sword dimmed before him, then ran out of power and crumbled into a rain of immortal life.

“It’s a pity. An immortal of our sect left us the Blood Transformation Sword Talisman, but less than a tenth of its power remained. Otherwise, how could you possibly have survived that?” The old man in white let out a deep sigh, then looked at Su Yi. He seemed to find this an awful pity.

The others’ expressions were unsightly too. Not even a secret talisman of the Immortal Dao can stop him. Who can possibly hold him back now?

“Everyone, he’s already been forced back. Take out your killer weapons and attack together. No need to concern ourselves with his life and death any longer!” Zhong Tianquan said icily.

“There’s nothing else we can do!”

“Very well!”

The Dao Integration experts’ faces filled with determination.

Earlier, they refrained from using their killer weapons for fear of killing Su Yi. If he died, no one would obtain the secrets of reincarnation.

But now, even Illusory Sword Immortal Tower’s Immortal Dao secret talisman had failed to suppress Su Yi. This made them realize that if they didn’t use their trump cards, they were in for a crushing defeat!

Su Yi flicked the flat of his sword, a hint of disdain entering his expression, but he naturally wouldn’t just stand around and wait to die. He was already leaping back into the fray.

“Get him!” Over in the Hidden Skies Immortal Sect’s camp, the middle-aged man in black bellowed and summoned a sinister, fiery diagram of a demonic domain. It quickly spread, covering the skies and blotting out the sun.

Practically simultaneously, the Dao Integration experts of other factions unleashed their respective trump cards.

Boom!

A dazzling silver bell soared into the firmament, bringing with it endless immortal light.

A flying knife blazing with firelight shot forth, wisps of golden immortal mist pouring from its blade.

A black beast bone exploded in midair, transforming into an illusory divine bird bathed in immortal flames. When it unfurled its wings, they were so enormous that they blotted out the sun.

All of a sudden, six terrifying killer weapons of the Immortal Dao appeared. Each was so terrifyingly strong as to destroy heaven and earth.

Their terrifying presence was as vast as the ocean. It blanketed heaven and earth and descended, covering everything within a thousand square miles. Every living thing within that radius felt their heart quiver with fright.

Even the nearby Transcendent experts were terrified.

As for Su Yi? He stopped in midair, a solemn look on his face as he sensed an unprecedented, lethal threat!
