Chapter 1198 – Surrounded
Heaven and earth shook.
Countless ancient corpses broke free of the earth, their ranks stretching as far as the eye could see.
Vicious, baleful energy gathered around their bodies, like billowing smoke enveloping the dome of heaven. The sight stirred the soul.
Most of the corpses were at the Imperial level, but no small number had once been World King experts.
It was as if an army of the dead had mobilized, their ranks blanketing the entire area as if to sweep across the world.
“Don’t tell me this place is an ancient battlefield?” Su Yi couldn’t help but be stunned. The corpses truly seemed endless.
“No, if this were an ancient battlefield, the corpses wouldn’t have remained here all this time. Perhaps these corpses belong to the experts who perished beneath that mysterious catastrophe…”
But before Su Yi could give the matter any further thought, heaven and earth shook, and a murderous chorus of voices rang out.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The boundless army of ancient corpses swept across the ground, charging at Su Yi from all sides. The sight was enough to make even World Kings give in to despair!
“If I get trapped here, I’m afraid I’ll die of exhaustion.” Su Yi dared not hesitate. He took out the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos and charged ahead. Before he did anything else, he had to break out of the corpses’ encirclement!
Boom!
Sword qi rumbled, soaring into the heavens. His sword light was as dazzling as the rising sun.
When the sword qi swept downward——
A perfectly straight, massive rift appeared on heaven and earth. Hundreds of ancient corpses exploded with a bang.
Su Yi and his sword followed shortly after, charging straight ahead.
His entire body was swathed in eye-catching, radiant sword intent. The clanging hum of his sword echoed throughout the nine heavens, and he circulated the full extent of his cultivation base to unleash the Laws of the Far Shore.
Every time his sword qi landed, countless fiery red Flowers of the Far Shore bloomed. They were resplendent, dreamlike, and illusory.
It was as if a blazing, fiery path had appeared in this overcast, tumultuous landscape.
The flower petals swayed, firelight circulated, and streaks of sword qi rang out repeatedly, like the bells of deliverance leading the way into the Netherworld.
Upon this road of fire, swarm after swarm of ancient corpses caught ablaze. In the end, the dazzling petals of flame reduced them to ash.
In the Netherworld, an ancient legend stated that in the early days of the Infernal Palace, there existed a road paved entirely out of the Flowers of the Far Shore, the Path of Fire. It could help the departed souls of all other worlds cross over by guiding them to the next world.
That was the true meaning of the far shore.
Life, and a return to peace!
Now, when Su Yi fought, he paved a Path of Fire through the throng of corpses every time he pointed his sword.
Countless Flowers of the Far Shore surged around him, like blazing divine torches incinerating every corpse in their path!
Even the corpses of World King experts couldn’t block the power of Su Yi’s sword!
He charged right through them, cutting them down as if they were made of rotten wood!
Just a few breaths of time later, Su Yi had cut a path tens of thousands of feet into the undead army. Thousands of ancient corpses had already been destroyed.
But there were just too many of them. More and more of them surged out of the surrounding area, their ranks boundlessly vast.
“Something isn’t right here. The corpses’ awareness is muddled; there’s no way I alone could have drawn them here. Don’t tell me…”
Su Yi had only just thought this when…
Boom!
A streak of dazzling saber qi appeared before him, cleaving through the dome of heaven and descending upon him. It was brimming with the Laws of the surrounding area, so strong that it shook his heart.
Clang!!
Su Yi swung his sword and clashed with it head-on, only for the impact to send him staggering back several hundred feet, his blood and qi churning.
Minute cracks even appeared throughout the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos.
Su Yi furrowed his brow, the depths of his gaze shining with cold luster.
“Su Yi, we meet again!” A figure appeared beneath the distant dome of heaven. He wore long golden robes and gripped a glittering golden executioner’s blade.
This was none other than Enforcer Jin Chi!
His gaze was icy and rife with murderous intent. He made no effort to disguise his hatred.
When Su Yi saw this, he understood completely.
Enforcer Jin Chi had been waiting for him since well before he entered the secret origin grounds. Furthermore, he’d used a secret art to direct the throng of ancient corpses to surround him!
“I wouldn’t have thought you’d ward off the corpses’ encirclement with such ease. Is this the power of the Laws of Reincarnation?” murmured Jin Chi, his eyes flashing with divine radiance. “Alas, these are the secret origin grounds, and there are no rules to speak of. Even if I kill you, the Officiants won’t question me!”
Boom!
He swung the Demon-Shaking Executioner’s Blade, sending a streak of radiant golden sword qi flying toward Su Yi from afar. It ripped through the sky, its power terrifying to behold.
“This worked out better than I thought,” Su Yi said calmly.
He didn’t shrink back. If he did, he’d only sink back into the endless army of corpses’ encirclement, surrounded by enemies on all sides. It’d only make things worse.
Whoosh!
He arced through the air and shot into the sky.
The Tiny Heart of the Cosmos let out an impassioned hum, the aura of Profound Ruin emanating from its edge.
Su Yi shifted his wrists and slashed.
Boom! .𝒎
The entire stretch of heaven and earth collapsed, the skies shattering.
Jin Chi’s ten-thousand-foot streak of saber qi split down the midline, transformed into a rain of light, and scattered.
As the aftermath swept outward, the nearby corpses didn’t even have time to struggle before they were reduced to nothingness.
As if they’d been wiped from the face of the earth!
“Hm?” Jin Chi looked stunned. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes, inwardly stunned.
He had Oneness Realm cultivation, and he’d mastered the Laws of the secret origin grounds. They were far stronger than the Laws of the outer ring.
That slash could have killed a World King of comparable cultivation with ease.
Yet now, Su Yi, a Profound Unity cultivator, had blocked it!
“The Law of the Grand Dao he’s using doesn’t seem like the Laws of Reincarnation… don’t tell me he’s also mastered an even stronger Law?” As Jin Chi thought, he attacked without hesitation.
He was determined to kill Su Yi, and there was absolutely no way he’d leave him any chance at life!
A grand battle broke out.
Su Yi swung his sword with big, sweeping motions. Arcs of sword qi flew through the air, cleaving open the dome of heaven, fierce and tyrannical.
He never held back in the slightest; the gap between their cultivations was too great for that.
Even though he’d broken into the peak of the Profound Unity Realm, he was up against a Oneness cultivator. They were two full realms apart!
But even before arriving in the secret origin grounds, Su Yi had considered how he’d respond to a powerful foe like Jin Chi.
Thus, when he attacked, he didn’t hold back in the slightest.
Boom!
Heaven and earth were in turmoil. An aura of destruction ran rampant.
Jin Chi swung the Demon-Shaking Executioner’s Blade, hoping to suppress his opponent as quickly as possible.
But to astonishment, Su Yi blocked and neutralized his each and every attack!
And he even launched counter-attacks!
He was so domineering that Jin Chi almost wondered just which one of them was the Oneness World King, and which of them was in control of the Laws of the surrounding area…
“If I don’t kill him now, he’ll escape to the path of trials. If that happens, he’ll become a huge latent threat!” Jin Chi’s heart surged with murderous intent. He cast aside all other thoughts and attacked with all his might.
Boom!
The Laws of the surrounding area boiled over, fusing completely into the Demon-Shaking Executioner’s Blade. The blade instantly burst with a hundred thousand feet of blood-colored light. It was faint, but the sound of gods chanting sutras rang out.
And when the slash descended, it was as if the blade of heaven were cleaving into the world. It was full of forbidden power. .𝒎
Practically simultaneously, Su Yi’s eyes shone with murderous intent.
Clang!
An inscrutable mysterious aura arose on the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos. Even its hum was deeper and grander.
The entire stretch of heaven and earth trembled violently.
The landscape dimmed.
Off in the distance, the countless ancient corpses froze, rooted to the spot as if intimidated.
It was as if time and space had frozen in place.
Jin Chi’s hair stood on end.
His keen senses told him that the Laws under his control were now under a terrifying suppression! Furthermore, a powerful sense of danger arose within his heart.
But there was no time for him to think, nor could he change course.
Su Yi’s slash was already headed right toward him.
This strike seemed to transcend the fetters of time and crush through the barriers of space. As it flashed through the air, Jin Chi’s saber qi split, offering no more resistance than paper.
Even that peak divine weapon, the Demon-Shaking Executioner’s Blade, broke easily.
And the slash continued, its power undiminished, cleaving into Jin Chi’s body.
Splurt!
With a spray of piping hot blood, a severed arm flew into the air.
“How is this possible——!?” An agonized, desperate cry emanated from afar.
It turned out that, in this critical, life-or-death juncture, Jin Chi relied on his instinct for danger to flee immediately.
Even so, one of his arms had been severed. That terrifying sword qi reached the rest of his body, dealing him severe damage. Numerous gashes appeared throughout his body, and even his organs suffered the resulting impact.
Su Yi’s eyebrows rose slightly.
He had to admit that Oneness World Kings really were terrifying. They were far beyond Heavenly Longevity experts.
Even though he’d already planned his approach and drawn upon the aura of the Sword of the Nine Hells, he didn’t manage to kill Jin Chi at the critical moment.
At the end of the day, his cultivation base was insufficient. His qi couldn’t fully lock onto Jin Chi, nor could the power of his soul shake him.
This was what let Jin Chi escape with his life.
But Jin Chi was badly injured. The way Su Yi saw it, one more slash ought to do the trick.
He didn’t delay, either.
Using the Laws of Profound Ruin and drawing upon the Sword of the Nine Hells were both enormously draining to his cultivation base.
More importantly, although his last attack had severely damaged Jin Chi, it also put him on guard. There was no way to catch him by surprise now. He had to end this as soon as possible.
Whoosh!
Su Yi leaped forward in a flash, but just as he was about to swing at Jin Chi, a powerful sense of foreboding arose within his heart, and he dodged to the side without hesitation.
Boom!
A purple flying sword had appeared out of nowhere, shattering the entire stretch of sky. Its unstoppable, forceful sword qi burst forth in waves.
Su Yi’s brow furrowed. That slash had been just a hair’s breadth from taking his life!
Who had attacked?
Before Su Yi could wrap his head around it, a thunderous boom rang out, and radiant silver light poured down, as if the river of the nine heavens were falling down to earth.
It was a glittering silver Daoist seal. Its force and weight crushed the skies, like the Heaven-Flipping Seal. It threw the entire area into violent upheaval.
In another direction, a green bronze bell arose, crushing the skies as it rang. The sound was immeasurably grand.
Green sound waves struck like tidal waves, sweeping across the mountains and rivers.
And that purple flying sword revolved in midair, then attacked once more, so quick that it seemed as if it were teleporting.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yi was thoroughly surrounded!
