First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1814 - Seen Through

As Gongyang Yu stood there in a daze...

Whap!

He took a crisp slap to the face. The tyrannical force collapsed his cheekbone, and the impact sent him whirling in circles and flying backward.

He hadn’t quite dodged, but he’d shifted right in the nick of time, avoiding the brunt of the blow. If he hadn’t, that palm strike would have crushed his skull!

Off in the distance, Qing Wu and Jin Zhuliu were both astonished. How could an Immortal King possibly have destroyed a god-level secret treasure?

Treasures like that were the divine children’s trump cards. They could threaten even Great Profound Stage experts! None of the divine children would use them lightly. Who could have imagined that someone would destroy one with such ease?

“This is bad!” When they saw Su Yi attack Gongyang Yu once more, Qing Wu immediately tried to intervene.

Kcch!

Her fiery whip tore a hole through the sky. It was like a living, breathing poisonous snake as it tried to wrap around Su Yi’s waist and intercept him.

Su Yi didn’t even turn his head to look at it. He just used his fingers as a sword and slashed out.

Bang!!

The whip fell limply to the ground as if it had been struck by lightning. That tyrannical force reached Qing Wu’s wrists, and the shock was so intense that she almost lost her grip.

But Jin Zhuliu seized the opportunity to shoot through the air and attack.

Whoosh!

He waved his sleeve through the air, and a purple flying sword shrouded in electric light shot forth, aimed directly at Su Yi’s neck. Meanwhile, his hands formed a seal, and he unleashed his strongest divine ability. Countless whirlpools exploded into being.

The contorted, rending power between the whirlpools interwove and resonated. The sky around Su Yi was instantly swept into the turbulent stretch of whirlpools, and it collapsed with a bang.

Su Yi’s brow furrowed. He couldn’t be bothered to pursue Gongyang Yu any further. Instead, he smacked the purple flying sword away with a punch, pressed down on the ground, and immediately exploded forward.

Kaboom!

He charged with such force that countless whirlpools collapsed.

Meanwhile, Su Yi swung his fist at Jin Zhuliu.

Clang!!

Jin Zhuliu blocked with all his might, but the impact forced him back. Throughout his body, his qi churned, and the pain was so intense that he almost coughed up blood.

Only now did he understand on a visceral level just how terrifying Su Yi’s combat strength was. He was almost comparable to Great Unity Stage experts!

“Activate!” Qing Wu’s clothing swayed around her as she swung her whip and attacked.

Gongyang Yu had already gotten the chance to catch his breath. Now, he charged once more without hesitation.

All at once, two divine sons and one divine daughter were locked in fierce combat with Su Yi, throwing the entire stretch of heaven and earth into chaos. The mountains and rivers swayed.

But the most unsettling part was that despite outnumbering their opponent, the three divine children were being suppressed!

“Get him!” Qing Wu tossed a snow-white octagonal palace lamp into the air. It lit up, its terrifying radiance like silver floodwaters brimming with the taboo power of a deity.

This was undoubtedly a divine secret treasure with the power to burn heaven and earth.

Su Yi’s sleeves billowed around him as he pressed down on the air.

Boom!

The power of reincarnation blanketed the sky and blotted out the sun. The lamplight filling the air went out, and even the octagonal palace lamp shattered.

Su Yi shot forward and swung his sleeve through the air.

It was as if he were sweeping away the dust, but although it seemed like an entirely unassuming, ordinary gesture, it sent Qing Wu flying. Her snowy skin split, cracked, and gushed with fresh blood.

“Die!” Jin Zhuliu bellowed and took out a divine talisman. It exploded into a dense tide of sword qi and whooshed forth with taboo destructive power.

But it was still to no avail.

Su Yi didn’t even pause to look at it. He swung his palm through the air like a sword, and sword intent emblazoned with the mysteries of reincarnation exploded into being with unstoppable force. Everywhere it passed, the dense tide of sword qi exploded into pieces.

“How is this possible!?” Jin Zhuliu found this difficult to believe. No matter what treasures of divine abilities they use, Su Yi broke them all in a single hit!

Despite their Great Martial Stage power, they couldn’t even shake him!

How could they be anything but surprised?

Crunch!

The sound of snapped bones rang out. Gongyang Yu was already injured, but now, Su Yi crushed his right kneecap beneath his foot, making him cry out in agony.

Meanwhile, Su Yi’s right hand seized Gongyang Yu by the neck.

But it was then that the black pearl hanging from Gongyang Yu’s neck suddenly lit up and burst with a terrifying power of the Laws, forcing Su Yi’s hand away.

Gongyang Yu seized the opportunity to flee into the distance. His face was full of shock and horror, and his whole body quivered.

He was a Great Profound Stage divine son, yet he’d come dangerously close to being killed by an Immortal King!

He still felt the aura of impending death lingering around his neck. His heart palpitated with lingering terror, and he didn’t even need to think that, if not for the treasure hanging around his neck, he wouldn’t have even been able to fight back. He’d be dead already!

“Strange. What level of treasure is that?” His surefire killing blow had failed. Su Yi couldn’t help but find this surprising.

There was no denying that these divine children were troublesome opponents. Even with their cultivation bases restricted to the Great Martial Stage, they had endless trump cards available to them!

Even as his thoughts raced, Su Yi’s movements never slowed, and he shot toward the next closest opponent, Qing Wu. He arced through the air like an unstoppable beam of light, sword intent connecting heaven and earth; he seemed invincible, as if nothing could stand in his way.

Qing Wu and Jin Zhuliu felt thoroughly stifled.

Due to the restrictions of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, they dared not use their full strength, but if they remained at the Great Martial Stage, they were no match for Su Yi. Even their trump cards were useless!

How could they fight him like this?

Before long, both Qing Wu and Jin Zhuliu were injured and incomparably wretched.

The distant onlookers, the Immortal Kings of the various factions of the Eastern Sea, stood there in a daze, their hearts full of indescribable confusion.

Those were divine children! They could still access Great Martial Stage cultivation, and their treasures were bequeathed to them by gods. Yet none of that did them any good!!

Li Xuanjun was merely an Immortal King, but he was like an unshakeable mountain. He seemed practically invincible!

Who’d dare to believe such a thing?

So, his true strength was this terrifying all along... No wonder Qin Jianshu suffered such a massive setback during their clash over the Whirlpool of Blood. No wonder even that servant of his, Xue Kuiyin, met a grisly end...

Fan Zhui’s heart shook.

Su Yi’s display of strength seemed simply unbelievable. It was on the verge of overturning everything he’d ever learned about cultivation!

Even in the endlessly vast God Domain, nothing so unreasonable had ever happened before. This man was just an Immortal King! How could he cross major realms to rout powerhouses of higher cultivations?

The most confusing part, and the most unsettling part, was that even divine secret treasures were useless against this Immortal King. They would have threatened even experts of the Great Profound Stage!

Combined, Fan Zhui’s mind almost went blank.

Clang!!!

The purple sword swathed in electric light was sent flying backward.

Jin Zhuliu suffered a backlash and coughed up blood.

Suddenly, Gongyang Yu hissed, “I understand! He isn’t Li Xuanjun at all. That’s Su Yi! The heretic who controls the power of reincarnation!”

Su Yi!!

Jin Zhuliu and Qing Wu's eyes widened as the realization struck like lightning, blowing away all their accumulated confusion. Everything suddenly made sense.

Why was their opponent so heaven-defyingly strong? It was simple! He was really the reincarnation of the Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign! The former unparalleled Sword Sovereign of the Immortal Realm, the First Immortal of the Sword, a man unequaled in his era!

Why could he counter and destroy their divine secret treasures?

Naturally, it was because of the power of reincarnation!

As divine children from the God Domain, they’d come to the Immortal Realm tasked with destroying Su Yi. How could they possibly be ignorant of how taboo the power of reincarnation was?

This was a power so threatening that even the gods couldn’t eat or sleep in peace!!

The only reason Jin Zhuliu and the others hadn’t realized this earlier was because they subconsciously still assumed Su Yi was just Divine Daughter Xi Ning’s subordinate.

Moreover, according to the Immortal Realm’s most recent rumors, Su Yi was still an Immortal Lord. Thus, the idea that “Li Xuanjun” might really be Su Yi in disguise had never occurred to them!

“Su Yi!”

“So, that’s him!”

“But he’s different from the rumors... He... He’s already an Immortal King, and he can fight even Great Martial Stage experts!”

The experts of the Eastern Sea’s factions were stunned too. All of them were in uproar. So, Li Xuanjun was really the infamous Su Yi all along! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was an earth-shattering revelation.

“Su Yi? He’s that guy who mastered the power of reincarnation!?” Fan Zhui finally understood, but the truth seemed unbelievable. All he could think was, If the young leader really guessed Su Yi’s identity, why didn’t she kill him herself? He’s a heretic the gods are all determined to see destroyed!!

Su Yi, meanwhile, wasn’t at all surprised that they’d realized his identity. He felt no further need to hide it, anyway.

As the crowd watched in astonishment, his movements never stopped. He continued attacking with domineering force.

Boom!

His sleeves billowed around him, and sword qi filled heaven and earth as he continuously forced the three divine children back.

Jin Zhuliu and Qing Wu could still hold out, but the already grievously injured Gongyang Yu wouldn’t last much longer.

When Gongyang Yu saw Su Yi attack once more, his eyes went bloodshot, and his eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He bellowed, “Do you really think this lofty one is so easily bullied!?”

He cast aside his reservations and smacked the air.

Bang!!!

A heaven-shaking impact rang out, sending Su Yi staggering backward.

This was the first time Su Yi had been forced back since the battle began.

Meanwhile, everyone sensed that Gongyang Yu’s aura had changed! It seemed he’d undone a seal, as his Great Martial Stage cultivation soared and leaped straight into the Great Unity Stage.

And it wasn’t done yet. It was still climbing!

That terrifying force made heaven and earth tremble. The sky wailed and churned on all sides.

“Has he gone insane!?” Qing Wu’s heart shook, and the look on her beautiful face shifted erratically.

Recovering his full strength meant an inevitable backlash from the Laws. Even if Gongyang Yu somehow managed to survive, this would severely impact his chances of achieving divinity!

This price was unquestionably far too heavy.

This was why, despite their injuries piling on, and despite the repeated setbacks, they’d suppressed their tempers, not daring to reveal their true strength.

Yet now, Gongyang Yu had obviously thrown all caution to the wind. He was going to destroy Su Yi, heedless of the consequences!

“Insane? Not necessarily.” Jin Zhuliu’s expression filled with uncertainty as he guessed what Gong Yangyu was thinking. “Neither the good fortune to be found in these ruins nor an opportunity to become a god in the Immortal Realm is anywhere near as important as capturing Su Yi, don’t you think?”
