First Immortal of the Sword

“He’s lasted this long purely on his own strength. This Su Yi guy sure is terrifying!”

“Alas, he won’t last much longer!”

“Not necessarily. I’m sure the kid’s got something up his sleeves. Otherwise, how could he be so bold as to march in and declare that he’d flatten the Church of All Spirits?”

“You think he’s got hidden trump cards? Sure, but we’ve got hidden cards of our own!”

…Wei Xun and the other Immortal Kings stood at the peak of Celestial Palace Mountain. All of them could tell how precarious Su Yi’s situation was. Thus, they suspected it wouldn’t be long before Su Yi revealed his hidden cards.

Despite this, they weren’t at all flustered. This was their home base, and they’d never been afraid of a duel of trump cards!

“Hm?” Suddenly, one of the Immortal Kings cried out in alarm, “Quickly! Look at that!”

……

Within the Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation, Su Yi was beset by danger on all sides. Despite this, he snorted coldly. “Very well. I’ll just have to show you my true power!”

Boom!

Heaven and earth shook violently.

The crowd then watched as Su Yi’s aura suddenly expanded, rising higher and higher until it reached an all-new level.

One after another, the mysterious and inscrutable power of the Laws surged forth, interweaving into sword intent that formed a defensive line around his tall, upright figure. The skies exploded and collapsed on all sides, as if unable to withstand that terrifying pressure.

A wondrous and profound wheel manifested out of the Laws and floated behind Su Yi’s head.

It seemed unfathomably deep; gazing upon it was like staring into an abyss. But at the same time, it seemed ethereal. It was illusory, yet endless and immeasurable!

An ethereal and illusory Dao Sword floated within the mysterious divine wheel, indistinct and all but indiscernible. Upon closer inspection, the sword had a hint of the Sword of the Nine Hells’ charm about it. It was just extremely indistinct.

Boom!

When the divine wheel appeared behind Su Yi, the entire Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation shook violently and sank into disarray. The power of the formation was relentlessly assailing Su Yi, only for terrifying force to suppress it!

Su Yi suddenly seemed completely different from just moments prior.

Arcs of inscrutable divine light manifested from the Laws hovered defensively around him. He was just standing there casually, but with the divine wheel hovered behind his head, his imposing aura swept outward in all directions with enough force and momentum to make heaven and earth tremble.

He was like a deity, or perhaps a saint.

This was Su Yi’s true strength after stepping into the early-stage Saint Realm! This was his first time revealing it; he'd chosen not to use it earlier.

“What the…” Kong Ye was dumbstruck.

“How… did his cultivation change again?” cried out one of the Immortal Kings on Celestial Palace Mountain.

The others gasped too. They and Kong Ye had assumed that if Su Yi wanted to turn the situation around, he’d need to rely on some kind of hidden card. Even if you’d hit them over the head, they would never have guessed that Su Yi would reveal an even stronger cultivation base instead!

There was no doubt about it. He’d been holding back this entire time!!

Even the Immortal Kings couldn’t stay calm after realizing that. After all, even prior to revealing his true strength, Su Yi broke the Vast Emptiness Heaven-Sealing Formation, and he even shook the Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation! He was even entirely capable of destroying Immortal Kings! Ȓå𝐍Ŏ𝐁ʧ

Who could have imagined that he’d be so strong even while holding back?

Who wouldn’t have been surprised upon learning the truth?

Boom!!

Before the crowd could wrap their heads around it, the Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation shook violently.

After revealing the full extent of his power, Su Yi effortlessly crushed the formation’s attacks on all sides. He just stepped through the air and slashed out!

The power of this slash was obviously far greater than before, and it was many times as terrifying. Its sword force alone was enough to make the Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation tremble.

And when this strike landed——

Boom!

The formation large enough to blot out the sun was thrown into chaos and upheaval. Countless formation marks exploded.

It was just too terrifying. He’d practically destroyed the formation in a single attack!

“He… He obviously isn’t an Immortal King, so how could he be so terrifying?” someone cried out.

The others were bewildered too. They couldn’t even imagine it. This came as a blow to their very perception of reality.

A moment later, the nine Immortal Kings and three hundred Immortal Lords working to circulate the formation couldn’t help but look stricken. None of them dared be negligent. All of them struck with full force.

Boom!

The Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation ran rampant, even more explosive than before. An imposing onslaught of power descended upon Su Yi like a grand, surging flood.

“An egg flinging itself against a rock!” Su Yi snorted coldly, then leaped, sword swinging through the air as he launched nine strikes in rapid succession.

Every strike ripped open the dome of heaven. The sky collapsed, and sword qi burst with tyrannical, destructive power. And when it reached the formation, it threw the whole thing into chaos!

The Immortal Lords helping to run the formation were the first to break. All of them suffered a terrifying backlash. Their formation flags exploded in their hands as they coughed up blood and cried out in agony.

As they were injured, the formation’s power fell sharply. Su Yi seized the opportunity to flash through the air, disappearing from the spot he’d stood in moments prior.

The Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation was comprised of nine smaller formations. Su Yi appeared seemingly inexplicably within one of them, right in front of a yellow-robed Immortal King.

The man was holding a formation disc. His hair and beard bristled with fury as he poured everything he had into the formation. When Su Yi attacked, he practically jumped out of his skin, but before he could respond…

Splurt!

The Sword of the Human Realm flashed past, and the yellow-robed Immortal King was split down the midline. Before blood could even spurt from the corpse, it disintegrated into ash and scattered to the wind. Then Su Yi’s figure disappeared from view once more.

All of it happened in a flash, so quickly that it seemed unbelievable.

No one could have anticipated that Su Yi would be this terrifying after revealing his full strength. The Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation was like nothing but empty posturing before him!

“You…”

In another killing formation, an Immortal King reacted extremely quickly. As soon as the yellow-robed Immortal King died, he readied himself for battle. Even so, a moment later, a glint of sword light streaked past him, and he exploded into bits. Su Yi was the last thing he saw before awareness fled him!

“Retreat! Hurry up and retreat!”

Infuriated roars rose throughout the surrounding area. The Immortal Kings overseeing the other seven killing formations felt their hair stand on end. All of them fled toward Celestial Palace Mountain.

“Die!” Su Yi took to the skies, swung his sword, and attacked.

A hundred-thousand-foot streak of sword qi descended upon the world below, vast and grand. The dazzling power of the Laws rose and fell within it.

Its light illuminated all of heaven and earth.

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out, and the Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation fell apart with a bang, splitting into pieces. An explosive flood of destructive power swept outward, reducing the three-hundred-plus Immortal Lords to ash.

Some of the sword qi flew upward, cleaving through an Immortal King on his way to Celestial Palace Mountain!

The sword qi continued ahead, cleaving into the mountainside and making the entire ancient, enormous mountain shake violently.

Mere moments had passed since Su Yi revealed his early-stage Saint Realm cultivation base, but he’d already destroyed the Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation and killed over three hundred Immortal Lords.

He’d even slain three Immortal Kings in rapid succession! His momentum was simply unstoppable!

The entire situation had turned on its head.

The night sky was as dark as ink. An air of destruction permeated heaven and earth. Celestial Palace Mountain was in chaos; Wei Xun and the other Immortal Kings were horrified, and stood there paralyzed by the sheer disbelief.

Su Yi stood in the air, mysterious and inscrutable sword qi wrapped around his tall, upright figure. His aura connected heaven and earth. It was like the descent of a god of the sword. He was far sharper, more forceful, and tyrannical than before!

Everyone saw it clearly. The three dead Immortal Kings hadn’t been able to block even a single attack!

But Su Yi wasn’t done yet. He stepped through the air and shot toward Celestial Palace Mountain.

The Nine Extremes Heaven-Executing Formation had already broken. The way Su Yi saw it, all he had to do now was finish the job. It was time to crush the Church of All Spirits and everyone in it!

Bang! Bang!

The sky trembled. Heaven and earth swayed.

Every step Su Yi took was like a deity beating a divine drum. That terrifying momentum alone was so oppressive that the crowd could barely breathe.

Even off in the distance, some of the weaker yao cultivators bled from the seven apertures of their faces and fell limply to the ground, unconscious!

“The Sovereign…” Ying Xiu muttered in a daze, only to trail off. She couldn’t find words adequate to describe Su Yi.

Tyrannical? Forceful? Invincible?

Unrivaled and valiant?

None of them were even remotely enough to describe him.

Kong Ye understood her feelings completely.

Over on Celestial Palace Mountain, Wei Xun and the others’ expressions were incomparably ashen. Even if you hit them over the head, they could never have imagined that Su Yi would be this powerful without even using his trump cards!

But there was no time for them to give the matter any further thought. Su Yi was already attacking.

Clang!

The hum of a sword resounded throughout the night sky, like the sonorous cry of a phoenix. A streak of sword qi as dazzling as the river of stars descended with boundless, immeasurable sword force.

Boom!

Celestial Palace Mountain shook. The ancient buildings lining its slopes collapsed, and the trees and grasses were reduced to powder.

Wei Xun immediately took out a glittering silver formation flag and clashed with the sword force head-on.

He was a late-stage Immortal King, and his strength was unfathomably deep. In the Church of All Spirits, he was a top expert second only to their leader. One more step, and he could prove his Dao and enter the Great Realm.

And that silver flag was a wondrous, ancient treasure of enormous power.

But it didn’t matter. When Su Yi’s strike landed, the silver flag exploded, ripped to pieces as if it were made of cotton!

Its power continued ahead, entirely undiminished, and cut the top of the mountain off!

The mountainside collapsed. It really seemed as if it had been decapitated.

Wei Xun and the others managed to dodge in time, but all of them broke out in cold sweats. That sword qi seemed simply unstoppable. They were Immortal Kings, but it presented an enormous threat to their lives!

“Hurry and activate the Tian Wu Divine Seal with me!” Wei Xun roared in fury and took out a black metal seal.

The other sixteen Immortal Kings joined forces with him. All of them poured their strength into this treasure.

Boom!

The seal took to the skies, like a black sun rising into the air. Calamitous, terrifying power swept outward.

Everything throughout the surrounding area, the mountains and rivers and everything in them, was destroyed!

Indescribable, taboo power seemed intent on ripping heaven and earth to shreds. The air of an impending apocalypse enveloped everything within thirty thousand miles.

Kong Ye and Ying Xiu panicked. Their hearts and minds felt stifled, and they could barely breathe.

Wei Xun and the other Immortal Kings’ gazes heated up with fanaticism.

The Tian Wu Divine Seal!

This treasure contained a portion of divine power bequeathed to them by their god, Divine Venerate Tian Wu!

When used, it could easily threaten the lives of even Great Realm experts, powerhouses at the very pinnacle of the Immortal Dao!

Su Yi’s gaze was as calm as ever. His distant gaze flashed with a hint of disdain.

Another treasure granted to them by a god? Hah!
