First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1660: Just Three Attacks

The crowd watched as Su Yi walked confidently over, almost as if there were no one else around.

Immortal Queen Liu Yun and Qing Wei were inwardly nervous yet eager.

They were nervous because Chief Libationer Ming Xing controlled a strange, calamitous power. It was utterly taboo, and they were terrified that Su Yi would get hurt.

But they were eager too, because they were the only ones here who knew that the young Universe Realm Su Yi had another identity, one so extraordinary as to shake the entire Immortal Realm!

They refused to believe that Su Yi couldn’t handle this strange divine tribuation.

Whoosh!

As Su Yi drew closer, the strange, black, catastrophic power surged toward him and burst with terrifying, destructive force.

But when Su Yi took a step forward…

Boom!

It was as if Su Yi were traversing flat ground. He walked through the calamitous power. No matter how fiercely it assailed him, it dispersed before it could touch him.

Everyone present was astonished. An uproar arose on all sides.

“This…” Everyone was wide-eyed and tongue-tied.

“He’s… He’s obviously only in the Universe Realm Immortal. How could he possibly neutralize the Divine Venerate’s power?” someone couldn’t help but blurt. He could tell at a glance that Su Yi really was only in the Universe Realm.

Immortal Queen Liu Yun and the others sighed in relief. All of them lit up with delight. You really can’t judge him by his cultivation base!

“Fellow Daoist Su, you can counter the power of a god?” Wen Zhiqiu exclaimed.

At the Seventh Gate of Heaven, he witnessed Su Yi’s unbelievable abilities, and he saw Su Yi as a wondrous expert.

Even so, he never, ever would have guessed that Su Yi could contend with divine power. This was simply unreasonable!

The crowd was in uproar. Everyone was startled, with disbelief written all over their faces.

At the same time, Chief Libationer Ming Xing watched as wisps of inscrutable sword intent gathered around Su Yi. It was boundless and ethereal, with a mysterious, taboo air.

With that sword intent wrapped around him, it seemed that no power could reach Su Yi, and no number of tribulations could break him. It effortlessly neutralized the power of divine tribulation!

“No wonder he could destroy the divine decree Yun Qiong used in the Black Dragon Market. He actually has a killer weapon capable of contending with the power of the gods!” Ming Xing finally understood, but irrepressible curiosity rose within his heart. Where did a young man like him acquire a treasure like that? Don’t tell me it’s a true… divine treasure!?

With this in mind, Ming Xing no longer hesitated. He attacked directly.

Boom!

When he poured his power into the fist-sized black treasure tower in front of him, the catastrophic divine power throughout the surrounding area churned violently and condensed into spears of strange black lightning.

The spears descended, shaking heaven and earth with their appalling murderous intent!

The lightning spears were manifestations of divine tribulation. They were so terrifyingly powerful that even Liu Yun and Wen Zhiqiu felt their hair stand on end. Both of them looked stricken.

“Fellow Daoist Su, be careful!” Wen Zhiqiu couldn’t help but cry out.

But Su Yi just raised his hand and formed a seal, entirely unflustered. HIs voice boomed like spring thunder.

“Activate!”

It was just one word, but it boomed throughout heaven and earth.

An unbelievable scene followed.

The World-Suppressing Seal had originally been under Immortal Queen Liu Yun’s control, but now, it seemed to have truly awakened. It burst with golden light so intense that it filled both heaven and earth.

The characters “Suppressing Worlds” suddenly burst with shocking spirituality. Every stroke of the characters suddenly manifested the stingingly bright, golden power of the Laws!

Golden radiance surged into the heavens, illuminating the entire stretch of heaven and earth with light so intense that those present almost couldn’t keep their eyes open.

A force difficult to describe in words burst from the World-Suppressing Seal.

How terrifying were those lightning spears formed of calamitous power? They were mere moments from reaching Su Yi when the World-Suppressing Seal unleashed its terrifying power.

As terrifying as the spears were, they were locked in place, swaying violently but unable to advance any further.

A moment later——

Bang bang bang!

A dense series of explosions rang out.

The lightning spears exploded, one after another, then dispersed into a strange rain of black light.

Everyone present was astonished.

The experts of the Church of All Spirits were visibly overcome with shock. How could he have blocked Chief Libationer Ming Xing’s killer move just like that?

Chief Libationer Ming Xing’s expression was overcast, and his eyes were full of shock and fury.

He’d realized earlier that the badly injured Immortal Queen Liu Yun could in no way unleash the World-Suppressing Seal’s true power.

But he would never have guessed that a young Universe Realm Immortal could fully awaken its power, letting it burst forth with unprecedented, terrifying might. It had destroyed his power of divine tribulation with ease!

“So, this is the true power of the World-Suppressing Seal…” Immortal Queen Liu Yun looked dazed.

She could tell that the World-Suppressing Seal really had awakened from its dormancy. Its endless golden light illuminated the nine heavens and the ten earths, and its immortal might was immeasurably vast!

Whoosh!

Su Yi raised his hand, and the seal shot into his palm like a sparrow returning to its nest. He whispered, “Now, allow me to show you this treasure’s true power.”

Immortal Queen Liu Yun and Immortal Lady Qing Wei watched with great anticipation.

Meanwhile, Su Yi had already turned around to look at Chief Libationer Ming Xing. “Listen up. I’ll attack just three times. With the first strike, I’ll destroy the Divine Capital Blood-Refining Formation.

“With the second strike, I’ll slaughter every other expert of the Church of All Spirits.

“And with the third strike, I’ll send you on your way. If you can block it, consider this my loss.”

He was completely forthright and open, but his seemingly casual words were, in fact, tyrannical to the extreme!

The crowd’s minds practically went blank. Is that… something a Universe Realm Immortal should be saying?

Even Wen Zhiqiu was dazed. Fellow Daoist Su… what spirit!

Chief Libationer Ming Xing furrowed his brow. Su Yi was just too calm. From the moment he first arrived, he did whatever he pleased, as if there were no one else around. He might have seemed prideful beyond reason, but didn’t that suggest he had reason to be fearless?

“That so? Then I’d just love to see what gives a Universe Realm Immortal like you the confidence to make such wanton boasts!” Chief Libationer Ming Xing said with cold indifference.

Then, he turned to his allies and shouted, “All of you, be careful! Pour everything you’ve got into the Divine Capital Blood-Refining Formation. Don’t get complacent!”

His voice boomed throughout the surrounding area. The experts of the Church of All Spirits were instantly solemn. All of them shouted back their acknowledgment of his orders.

Boom!

The power of the formation surged over Blazing Firmament Immortal City, like a black curtain blanketing the dome of heaven. It was the middle of the day, yet everything was suddenly shrouded in darkness.

An oppressive air of destruction spread outward, permeating the surrounding area.

The experts of the Church of All Spirits readied their treasures and prepared themselves for battle. All of them were seething with murderous intent.

Chief Libationer Ming Xing held his black treasure tower aloft. His Immortal King aura surged, soaring into the firmament and filling the skies!

Streaks of calamitous power shot out of the treasure tower like divine chains, forming layer after layer of divine rings that interwove around him, making him seem all the more terrifying.

Even Wen Zhiqiu and Liu Yun held their breath. Both of them felt intense pressure assailing them right in the face.

But it was as if Su Yi didn’t even notice. His fingers were like a lotus in bloom as they gently touched the World-Suppressing Seal, took hold, and… flung it out!

Boom!

The World-Suppressing Seal shot into the sky.

It was as if a radiant golden sun were rising over Blazing Firmament Immortal City, bursting with endless light. Terrifying Immortal Laws swept out like a hurricane, running rampant through the skies.

Chief Libationer Ming Xing was prepared. He bellowed, and divine chains shot into heavens like an enormous net. He was doing his utmost to restrict the World-Suppressing Seal.

But before the experts of the Church of All Spirits could celebrate, a heaven-shaking impact rang out, and the chains exploded into pieces.

The World-Suppressing Seal shot into the Divine Capital Blood-Refining Formation like a shooting star.

Bang!!!

The dome of heaven quivered as a massive hole tore open in the grand formation.

Immediately afterward, a spiderweb of cracks appeared and spread throughout the formation.

The almost three hundred experts of the Church of All Spirits stationed around the city were instantly startled. All of them looked up, their faces filling with terror.

The Divine Capital Blood-Refining Formation had actually broken!

It was about to shatter like glass!

But then, countless streaks of glittering golden immortal light descended from the heavens. In the blink of an eye, the light enveloped the experts of the Church of All Spirits stationed around the city.

“No——!” someone shrieked in terror as their body was incinerated into ash.

“Save us, Chief Libationer!”

Some of them fled in panic, but it was to no avail. The light slew them before they made it far.

Others died before they even had time to shout. The glittering golden light melted them into nothingness, destroying them in body and soul.

It happened in the blink of an eye. The almost three hundred experts guarding the city were completely annihilated, and the Divine Capital Blood-Refining Formation was long gone.

Only a Daoist seal remained floating overhead, shining like a blazing sun!

Everyone left was astonished.

In the first strike, Su Yi destroyed the formation, just as he said he would, despite Chief Libationer Ming Xing doing his utmost to stop him!

Only Ming Xing and the dozen or so Immortal Lords were left. All of the Void Realm True Immortals of the Church of All Spirits were dead.

The Immortal Lords were so startled that they broke out in cold sweats. All of them were visibly horrified.

The World-Suppressing Seal is actually so terrifying?

This completely overturned their perception of reality.

“It really is a Great Realm immortal treasure. Its power is far too terrifying…” Wen Zhiqiu’s heart shook.

Great Realm treasures were supreme treasures of the Immortal Dao! Only those unrivaled powerhouses at the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao could refine them!

The word “supreme” was a perfect description of their power.

Wen Zhiqiu was an Immortal King, but this was his first time witnessing the power of a Great Realm immortal treasure. It was easy to imagine how great his astonishment was.

Immortal Queen Liu Yun, Immortal Lady Qing Wei, and the others' eyes sparkled with excitement too.

“Senior Su, you’re amazing!” Fang Han cried out, his blood practically boiling.

“I’ll kill you!” Chief Libationer Ming Xing activated the power of divine tribulation and lashed out.

He sensed a latent threat, and he dared not let Su Yi attack as he pleased.

He knew that if he did, Su Yi might very well turn this situation around!
