First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1439 - Sealing Heaven and Earth, Restricting True Immortals

Bang!

Bao Wentai shattered into a rain of light.

Su Yi then turned his attention toward the distant Xiao Changning, his gaze cold and cruel, without so much as the slightest ripple of emotion.

As if he were staring at a blade of grass, a rock, or... an ant!

His gaze made Xiao Changning, a Void Realm True Immortal, extraordinarily uncomfortable. His brow furrowed. “I don’t understand. You...”

But before he could finish his sentence, Su Yi disappeared into thin air.

A moment later, a streak of sword qi appeared as if cleaving through time and space and descended upon Xiao Changning.

A spear appeared in Xiao Changning’s grip, which he swung furiously through the air.

Clang!!!

The terrifying, tyrannical power of reincarnation burst from the sword qi, making the spear wail and shake. Xiao Changning’s aura churned, and he was sent staggering back.

He couldn't help but be astonished, and his face filled with disbelief. Is it really possible for a Transcendent to possess such power!?

He was a Void Realm True Immortal. Even as a revenant, he was comparable to a living early-stage Void Realm expert.

Yet now, a young man who’d only just stepped onto the Path of Transcendence had forced him back in a single slash. This was simply unheard of.

Su Yi appeared out of nowhere, gripped the Sword of the Human Realm, and attacked.

Indifferent. Cold. Cruel.

As tyrannical as a god.

He stepped through the air like a beam of flowing light. Heaven and earth seemed to compress beneath his feet.

Boom!

The Sword of the Human Realm shattered the air. The power of the Samsara Domain wrapped around its edge, manifesting all manner of strange and unbelievable visions.

Xiao Changning snorted coldly, then struck with all his might. But within seconds, he was forced back once more!

That tyrannical sword qi shattered the air, as if nothing could stand in its way. Its power injured even a Void Realm True Immortal like him.

Xiao Changning was on the verge of going insane. A junior like Su Yi ought to have been a lamb to the slaughter, so why was he so terrifyingly strong?

But before Xiao Changning could react, Su Yi attacked once more.

His strike was even more direct than before, abandoning all transformations. It was simple to the extreme, and concentrated to the extreme!

The Manifesting Mortality Realm required refining the cultivation base into the Nascent Divinity. It was an unprecedented path.

And sword cultivators sought to slash through everything in their way. The Dao of the Sword was similarly simple, yet powerful to the extreme!

After fusing with the imprint of his sixth lifetime, Su Yi’s knowledge of the Sword and the Immortal Dao had reached unprecedented, irreplicable heights. It was enough to let him look down on even immortals!

It didn’t matter that his low cultivation base restricted him, or that his opponent’s cultivation was far beyond his.

With the experience of his past lives, the mysteries of reincarnation, and the aura of the Sword of the Nine Hells, he was completely different from before!

“Die!”

Within seconds, Su Yi shot forth, like a beam of flowing light shooting through heaven and earth. His sword turned in his grip as he cleaved a perfectly straight rift through the air.

Sword qi stretched through thirty thousand feet of sky!

As it swept past Xiao Changning, it cleaved him in two at the waist!

It happened too quickly. It was just one slash, but there was no stopping its overwhelming power.

“You... There’s no way you’re a Nascent Divinity cultivator!” roared Xiao Changning. Bitterness was written all over his face.

A moment later, both halves of his bissected corpse disintegrated into ash.

Clang!

Su Yi put away the Sword of the Human Realm without sparing his opponent a single glance. He was just a revenant, neither human nor ghost...

What had he amounted to?

He put his hands behind his back. Light rose beneath his feet as he shot into Endless Treasure Grounds.

......

“Die!”

Twelve Void Realm True Immortals controlled apricot-yellow formation flags, circulating the Immortal Origin Sacred Combat Formation with all their might.

Gu Yuanque’s twin swords controlled the formation’s terrifying immortal light to relentlessly attack Daoist Master Red Cloud, giving him the force and momentum of a deity.

Daoist Master Red Cloud was now in a passive position.

However, she hadn’t been suppressed, nor had she once been injured. On the contrary, she was powerful and domineering beyond imagination.

......

Meanwhile, Yu Ning was in grave peril!

Zhou Zhe and Xue Qiaozhi had joined forces against her, attacking with all their might. They pushed her so hard she could barely raise her head, and her injuries were piling on.

She was inwardly frantic, furious, agitated, and... aggrieved!

On their way here, she’d suggested that they made preparations, but neither Daoist Master Red Cloud nor Su Yi took the threat of an ambush at all seriously.

Look at them now! There had indeed been an ambush waiting for them, and they’d walked right into it!

Daoist Master Red Cloud was locked in combat with Gu Yuanque and a whole group of Void Realm True Immortals.

Yun Huaqing was a traitor!

She was beset by two powerful foes.

The most irritating part was that Su Yi fell apart as soon as the fighting began. He’d fled in panic with Bao Wentai!

The thought of him made Yu Ning gnash her teeth so hard that they almost broke.

She hadn’t forgotten Su Yi’s promise to ensure their safety. Nor had she forgotten that Su Yi insisted they follow his orders.

And she certainly hadn’t forgotten Su Yi dismissing this as minor trouble unworthy of concern...

When the fighting began, Su Yi had even been insane enough to act like he was just watching a show. He’d even tried to stop her from going to Daoist Master Red Cloud’s aid!

This entire series of events left Yu Ning beside herself with fury. She finally understood that even people like Daoist Master Red Cloud sometimes had errors in judgment.

Su Yi was no more than a shameless, conceited bastard!

......

“Zhe Yin, have you gone insane!?” shouted Yun Huaqing.

His hair was disheveled, and he was covered in wounds. He looked utterly wretched.

“Who are you to shout at me, you traitor?” the monk said. He was perfectly calm, with the countenance of a Buddhist statue.

But when he attacked, he was forceful and domineering. Boundless Buddhist light made him seem like the incarnation of a mighty arhat. Yun Huaqing almost couldn’t hold out any longer.

“How many times have I said it? They’re trying to frame me!” Yun Huaqing shouted, his lungs practically exploding with fury.

“Zhe Yin, hurry up and kill that traitor! I can’t hold out much longer!” Yu Ning shouted urgently from afar.

“Got it!” Zhe Yin nodded, then activated a string of prayer beads. Endless Buddhist fire swept through the air.

A chill coursed through Yun Huaqing’s heart, and he couldn’t help but give in to despair.

The flames blanketed the skies and blotted out the sun. There was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide!

But it was then that a tall, upright figure appeared out of nowhere and swung his sleeves.

Boom!

The sea of Buddhist fire scattered.

As light fell like rain, Yun Huaqing’s eyes widened. “Fellow Daoist Su!”

Indeed, this new arrival was none other than Su Yi.

Off in the distance, the monk furrowed his brow, then said with apparent delight, “Fellow Daoist Su, I’m glad you’re alright. What about Fellow Daoist Bao? Didn’t he come back with you?”

Yu Ning was still fighting when she saw this, but she too was startled. Su Yi... actually returned?

Su Yi gazed coolly at Zhe Yin. “You might be an inheritor of Sanskrit Cloud Temple, but your conduct has disappointed me.”

Zhe Yin frowned, then said warmly, “Fellow Daoist, have you perhaps misunderstood? Yun Huaqing betrayed us. I attacked him to eliminate a traitor!”

Yun Huaqing was so angry that he couldn’t help but curse. “I’m not a traitor, dammit! Bald donkey, when exactly did you see any evidence of me betraying us?”

Su Yi shook his head but said no more. He just stepped through the air and attacked directly.

Clang!

The hum of a sword rang out, and sword intent connected heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yi shot forth like a beam of flowing light, appearing before Zhe Yin out of nowhere and swinging his sword.

The monk’s expression darkened as he grabbed his prayer beads and met the slash head-on.

But a moment later, the beads exploded and shot in different directions.

Zhe Yin was forced back, and his expression shifted dramatically. He shouted, “Fellow Daoist Su, have you gone insane!?”

Boom!

The heavens fell and the earth crumbled as unstoppable, tyrannical sword force swept out.

Su Yi’s slash was simple and direct, and he wasted no time talking.

Bang!!!

Zhe Yin defended himself with all his might, only for this slash to leave his body in tatters. He flew back like a kite with its strings cut.

Meanwhile, Su Yi raised his hand and tossed the Divine Replenishment Furnace into the air. It instantly expanded until it was a hundred feet tall. Purple immortal light surged out of the opening and descended upon Zhe Yin.

“No——!”

Zhe Yin finally lost his composure and cried out in terror, then scampered away in panic.

But it was ultimately to no avail. Within just a few breaths of time, both Zhe Yin and the space in which he’d stood were swallowed up completely!

Boom!

Explosive purple immortal light interwove like a net, pulling Zhe Yin into the Divine Replenishment Furnace.

A moment later, his agonized cries emanated from within the furnace, then fell silent. The endless blood-red lightning had annihilated him!

This was the calamitous power Su Yi had been gathering since they’d entered the Starjade Forbidden Zone. It was full of strange, calamitous power, and it surged like a boundless ocean.

It didn’t matter that Zhe Yin was a Void Realm True Immortal, or that his curse had been broken. The lightning destroyed him in a flash.

“I wanted to ensure your safety out of respect for Old Monk Dhyana Tree of Sanskrit Cloud Temple. Alas, you just had to betray us,” said Su Yi, his gaze cold and cruel.

A moment later, the Divine Replenishment Furnace landed in his palm.

Long ago, when Wang Ye still protected the Sixth Gate of Heaven, he and Old Monk Dhyana Tree fought side-by-side. They were brothers in life and death.

It was for this reason that Su Yi proclaimed his intention of protecting Zhe Yin.

But now, he understood. The monk was a traitor hidden in their ranks, just like Bao Wentai!

Otherwise, why would Zhe Yin have believed Xiao Changning wholeheartedly when he tried to frame Yun Huaqing? Why would he attack without so much as giving Yun Huaqing a chance to explain?

The answer was simple: Zhe Yin was the traitor all along!

Su Yi... is actually this strong?! Yun Huaqing was wide-eyed and tongue-tied. He almost dared not believe his eyes.

In just a few blinks of the eye, Su Yi suppressed and killed Zhe Yin as easily as if he were made of rotten wood!

This practically overturned Yun Huaqing’s perception of reality. He couldn’t even imagine how a Nascent Divinity Transcendent could possess such power!

“Su Yi, how could you help that traitor kill Zhe Yin!?” As Yu Ning struggled to hold on, she shouted in alarm and fury.

Yun Huaqing’s expression darkened. That stupid woman still hasn’t realized that Zhe Yin was the one with the problem?

Su Yi didn’t mind. Yu Ning had only the best of intentions. It was just that she was a bit dim.

“Retreat!”

Zhou Zhe and Xue Qiaozhi already realized that this didn’t bode well. When they watched Zhe Yin die, the two of them dared not hesitate any longer. Both chose to retreat.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

They teleported through the air in an attempt to flee.

Su Yi snorted coldly and raised the Sword of the Human Realm, like a god holding up a primordial divine mountain, then abruptly bore down on the sky.

Boom——!

The mountains and rivers quivered.

The terrifying Laws of Restricting the Profound fused into the power of the Sword of the Human Hells, then burst from the Sword of the Human Realm. It swept out like a tidal wave, sealing the entire stretch of sky.

Zhou Zhe and Xue Qiaozhi were flitting through the sky when they abruptly froze in place, like bugs caught in a spider’s web. No matter how hard they struggled, it was to no avail.

Both of them visibly gave into panic.

In one slash, he’d suppressed the mountains and rivers, sealed the landscape, and restricted True Immortals!
